Traveler in the Pirate World

Chapter 48: Like a Light in the Dark Night - Solan

Lily, who came from a peaceful world, had seen too much darkness on this bridge, some that she could imagine and some that she could not imagine.

No matter how she boasted in the past, Lily could not deny that she was just an ordinary person. There were some things that she would feel disgusted even if she saw them, and there were some things that she would not be able to accept even if she understood them.

Lily, who loves food, hasn't eaten anything from her snack bag all day, and she has vomited many times.

This reminded her of the first time she saw a murder at the garbage terminal, the ruptured abdomen, the spilled internal organs, the people in too much pain to even cry out, and the people on the verge of death.

Lily vomited for a long time that time. The nausea of ​​cannibalism swirled in her throat, and the originally delicious food was difficult for her to swallow.

In her previous life, Lily was just an ordinary person who couldn't even kill a chicken or a sheep. She probably only boasted about how cruel she could be, but when it came to a real situation, she was no different from an ordinary person.

Even though she has been in this world for a long time and has seen all kinds of tragedies, Lily no longer has any reaction to the dead. But it is different here. Some people here may not be human.

The pale little face revealed the fear of human nature. For the first time, Lily felt that humans could be such terrifying beings.

Snowflakes were flying, the sky and the earth were all white. The girl curled up on the roof, looking at the black sky. Her face was pale and bloodless, which made people feel distressed.

After a long time, Lily stood up and looked at the bridge filled with sin. In her hands was condensed an extremely terrifying yet compressed cold air, and an unprecedented murderous intent was born in her heart.

Finally, Lily sat back weakly in the snow on the roof. She gave up. This was never just a problem of the bridge, but of this era.

Lily never thought of herself as a smart person. She was just an ordinary person in her previous life, and she never thought she had the wisdom to change an era.

Yes, it is wisdom rather than strength. In Lily's opinion, it is extremely stupid and harmful to self-righteously promulgate some policies that seem reasonable but do not conform to the actual situation.

If she were to rule or change the world with her current experience, she would probably become a fool. Of course, the most important thing is that Lily herself has no intention of competing for hegemony.

Looking at the bridge, Lily whispered, "Let's wait and see. We can't just do nothing after all!"

After covering up the traces she left behind, Lily walked on the deserted road, holding an umbrella made of ice crystals, leaving no trace in the snow.

In the attic not far away, the faint candlelight attracted Lily's attention. She floated up and hovered next to the small window. She saw a blonde girl squatting in the corner, drawing something with a charcoal pencil with a look of longing on her face.

As if thinking of something happy, the little guy suddenly laughed, then turned sad, looking at the snow outside the window, "What is the world outside like?"

Lily turned into a breeze, sitting beside the girl, looking at the scenery drawn with charcoal. The girl was very good at drawing, and these drawings from her imagination were wild and beautiful.

All the wooden boards are hidden in the corner, as if they were the most precious treasures. The cautious look on their faces makes people feel distressed.

"Are these the scenery you have seen? They are so beautiful!" A pleasant voice suddenly came from beside her. The girl was startled and almost screamed out. When she turned around, she saw a very beautiful sister sitting beside her, looking at her tenderly.

Solan had never seen such a beautiful woman, nor had he ever seen such beautiful style of clothing. He smelled the fragrance coming from the woman because he was too close to her, which was also a fragrance he had never smelled before, Solan thought so.

After a long time, he said, "No, I was born here and have never seen the outside world. Is my sister from outside?"

Lily smiled and nodded, looking at the girl in front of her, Lily couldn't deny that she was healed by this child's smile. She was like a light in the darkness, warm and bright.

The little girl's eyes are filled with curiosity about the world and longing for the future, even though she was born in this hell-like place, even though she lives a life without self and like a machine every day.

Under such a gaze, all the negative emotions generated during the day were gradually suppressed and gradually became brighter.

Solan asked Lily to nod, her eyes full of curiosity. She just looked at Lily and asked carefully, "Sister, can you tell me about the outside world?"

Lily took out her travel notes. The girl was illiterate, so she pointed to the pictures on the notes and told her about her journey.

Solan listened happily, as if it was the happiest moment of her life. She probably didn't realize that her smile dispelled the gloom that was difficult to suppress in Lily's heart.

"Really? Can people really turn into rubber?"

"What a big ship! How big is it? It's so big!"

……

The girl had a lot of questions. She was very happy, but in the end she looked at Lily with a little disappointment and said, "Sister, do you think I have a chance to see the outside world, like you?"

Lily gently touched Solan's head. The girl's hair was not of good quality. It was dry and rough due to long-term lack of nutrition. "Of course, just wait a little longer!"

"Really?" Solan said excitedly, his eyes full of hope.

The sound of "clang clang" rang out. Solan looked at the sky which was gradually getting brighter and said to Lily who was concerned, "Sister, I have to go to work. Don't run around. If you get caught, it will be difficult to deal with. I will bring you food then."

Lily smiled and held Solan's hand. A stream of water flowed up along the girl's arm, and all the fatigue of the night was gone. "Don't worry, sister is very powerful. Sister will come to see you again in the evening and bring you some delicious food."

After saying that, Lily turned into a wisp of breeze and disappeared.

Solan looked toward the window, thinking that everything that happened last night was just a dream, but the remaining warmth in her hands told her that it was all real.

Lily floated above the Taijila Wolf, recording everything here, good or bad, liked or disliked. Traveling is not always beautiful, but whether good or bad, that is the reality of this world.

At night, Lily would return to the attic and tell Solan stories about the outside world, and looking at his smiling face, all the darkness he saw during the day disappeared.

After a few days, Lily gradually figured out the situation here. This is the country on the bridge: Taijila Wolf. More than 700 years ago, the Celestial Dragons ordered the army to supervise the construction of a bridge connecting two islands.

Most of the soldiers here were assigned here because they had offended someone. So some of them chose to degenerate and became monsters in human skin, some chose to ignore everything, some chose to resist, and some chose to protect.

The slaves here include little guys like Solan who were born here since childhood. Most of those who can grow up are the children of those soldiers. However, they do not recognize the children born to slaves. Solan is one of them.

There are also criminals sent by the member states to offset some of Tian Shang Jin's labor, but it is unknown whether they are real criminals.

There are also captives from non-member kingdoms that are not protected by the World Government or even actively attack, many of whom are former nobles and royal families.

What surprised Lily was that there were still people from the Revolutionary Army lurking here, but Lily had no plans to communicate with them for the time being.

After all, Dragon is Dragon, and the Revolutionary Army is the Revolutionary Army. No matter how great Dragon's ideals are, his team is not necessarily pure. Before confirming some things, Lily does not intend to have any contact with the Revolutionary Army.
