Soul echo

Chapter 362 Departure
As time goes by, winter is gradually passing, and the temperature is not as cold as before.

There was no more snowflakes falling in the sky, so Zhong Ye and the others bid farewell to the demon hunters and the priests of Luzelburg, and set off on the journey as planned.

"In a blink of an eye, a winter has passed..."

Looking out the window, Lily couldn't help expressing emotion.

In the past, she never dared to imagine that so many things could happen in one winter.

In just one winter, she almost traversed most of the Gaul Kingdom.

Fight against the infected from the abyss, break the conspiracy of the "painted skin" monster, track down the paintings left by Nemo, hunt down vampires, and finally fought a battle with a group of monsters, and then witnessed the miracle of "resurrection of the dead".

She has never lived such a wonderful and exciting life since she was a child.

Like in the past, she didn't know that in the church, if the matter was urgent, clergymen above the priest level could temporarily serve as priests of the same level in other churches.

It is said that this is a system left over from the war hundreds of years ago, and it is still in use until now, but the frequency of resurrection ceremonies has become less, so that the number of times this system has been activated has also decreased a lot.

Afterwards, Lily looked away again, rubbing her index finger on the rough map.

Next, they will walk towards the east, turn south near the Black Forest, and head to the southern part of the Rhine Kingdom.

The southern part of the Rhine Kingdom is bordered by the Hallstatt City-State Alliance. If the 'trafficking route' is true, as the results of the investigation by the Montreux Commercial Church show, and the buyer is located in the Rhine Kingdom, then if you want to go to the location where the buyer is, you have to go along the way Need to get a lot of replenishment.

No matter whether they walked lightly or brought enough food and fresh water, even if they replenished in the wild, it was impossible not to leave any traces.

If you travel lightly, it means that you will resupply in the towns on the way; if you bring enough supplies, it means that the team is bloated, no matter what, they will definitely leave footprints.

——Unless they carry at least five space props!
But this is obviously impossible, because even mages rarely own space props, and almost all mages who can own space props are above the middle level. To use space props, you need to have a certain amount of magic talent.

Moreover, mage is not a profession that can be inherited through blood. The most important thing to become a mage is "wisdom". Just as the children of smart people are not necessarily smart, the children of mages may not necessarily have the talent to become mages.

Because of this, Zhong Ye thought that those guys must have left some clues.

Thinking of what Zhong Ye said, Lily let out a foul breath, turned her attention back, and put it on the map.

In Chartres, the 'painted skin' directly replaced the old baron, in Blois, they parasitized the second son of the earl, and in Bourges and Luzelburg, they even conspired with vampires.

If the buyers of the trafficked people were those monsters, then maybe their number in the Rhine Kingdom has increased dramatically, and they may have penetrated into every aspect of the Rhine Kingdom long ago.

I just don't know how long this 'population trade' lasted and when it started.

Thinking of this, Lily couldn't help sighing, lost interest in checking the route, and looked out the window again.

At this time, Luzelburg was no longer visible.

…………

The modular house was pulled from the floors by a large machine, and Lilian and her mother stood in the middle square and looked up.

She sits in a smart wheelchair, and her mother stands behind her, watching this extremely rare sight.

Many passers-by were attracted by this scene and stopped to watch.

A 'demolition team' can only be called in to help remove the house if the full ownership of the house is in the hands of someone and an application has been made to the city administration.

After the floor of Lilian's house was removed, the upper and lower floors of the house fit together, as if nothing had changed, as if the original building had 57 floors instead of 58.

The removed building was hung under the large urban aircraft, and the large machine completely controlled by artificial intelligence slowly passed through the tall buildings and flew to the house of Lilian's mother's fiance.

Once there, the 'demolition team' will help them put the house back together.

Lilian's mother stepped on the pedal at the back of the wheelchair. After Lilian gave instructions to the wheelchair, the wheelchair connected to the transportation network automatically made a walking route and slowly slid towards the elevator.

Through the elevator, they came to the ground from the central square on the 1000th floor. After walking about [-] meters, they entered a subway station.

Before they entered the subway station, the simple intelligence of the wheelchair bought tickets for them. When they came to the subway platform, a [-]-meter-long subway came.

After entering the subway, the screen installed on the car wall showed that the subway would stop at other platforms five times before going to Lilian and the others' destination.

In less than three to ten minutes, Lilian and the others passed through one-fifth of the metropolitan area and came to the area where her mother's fiance's house was located.

When they arrived, the man was already waiting for them at the subway exit.

Walking out of the subway station, the huge urban aircraft is slowly landing.

I saw a building slowly rising, and Lilian and her mother's house were inserted into the fourth floor of the building, next to the man's house.

"By the way, Mom." Lilian suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at her mother, "Are you going to hold a wedding?"

Her mother hesitated and opened her mouth to speak, but the man next to her said first: "No, we won't hold a wedding! A small party at home is enough!"

Lilian blinked and looked at them suspiciously, "Why? Is it because of me?"

Even as a patient with ALS, it shouldn't be a problem for her to attend her mother's wedding, right?

"Because someone is jealous of your mother." The man bent down and looked at Lilian, "You are not your mother's burden, you are her treasure, and from today onwards, you will also be my pearl, but, someone is jealous of you Mom, they might use your illness to mock her, that sort of thing is foreseeable, so...we won't have a wedding."

Lilian looked at him, opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say.

She fell silent, looking at her pale hands, her mouth slowly pursed.

After a while, she raised her head again and looked at them, "I'm very glad that you didn't deceive me, but are willing to explain this matter to me."

This sentence is not false, she is really very happy, her future family is not the kind of person who thinks she is a child and deceives her, he is willing to explain everything to herself, even after knowing this matter, she will be a little sad...

But compared to knowing that my future family member is a straightforward and honest person, this little thing is nothing at all.

"Then... when are you going to hold the party?" Lilian took a light breath and asked again.

Seeing the fake smile on Lilian's face, her mother also heaved a sigh of relief and laughed, "About a week later?"

"One week..." After chanting these words, Lilian suddenly tightened her lips and looked at her mother in disbelief.

"At that time, we will prepare a big birthday present for you!" The man drew a big circle pretending to be exaggerated.

The dull feeling that was pressing on her heart was resolved invisibly, and Lilian let out a long breath of foul air, and couldn't help but burst into a bright smile.

"Then, a week later, I will also prepare a surprise for you!"

Lilian imitated her future father and said with a smile: "A big ~ big ~ surprise!"
