Chapter 691 (1/2)
Maple collar, zeroland.
Sophia was walking in the familiar street, and the people cheered on both sides of the road.
The white smoke from the siege can be seen everywhere in the city, which is the natural situation after the fire is put out.
Today's weather is a bit cool. It rained for a while in the morning, which washed away the bloody smell after the battle and the burnt smell of houses, leaving only the full smell of soil after spring.
Now the roads in the city are still wet, and many roads in civilian areas are even muddy. If Sophia had not been riding a unicorn, her legs and feet would have been covered by mud.
There's no way. Even if the surplus maple leaf leads the Pearl zeroland, the roads with timely municipal maintenance are only rich areas and main roads. In some remote places, the nobles are lazy to manage.
After all, the drainage system in Wangcheng was not good even after a hundred years of heavy rain.
Sophia, who had never been out of the castle, didn't know about these things. However, noticing these details at this moment deepened her belief in herself again.
The Empire has decayed, the nobility has fallen.
You can never expect these guys above to have a real concern for civilians.
Even if there is, it is only out of the protection of their own ”property”.
In the eyes of many nobles, it is far better to give preferential treatment to the common people than to train or recruit more powerful professionals.
After all, in this extraordinary world, as long as you master this powerful enough power, no matter how violent it is, ordinary people can't make waves.
This time the ”red maple kingdom” is an example.
Relying on the existing system can not really improve productivity, can not really make efficient use of extraordinary power, and can not really create a world where everyone can live happily and have hope for the future.
But now it's different.
The magic promotion of the SEGS world is an opportunity. The rebel frontier is also a foreshadowing for the cleaning of the nobles in the original territory, and the emergence of the Church of life is like a lighthouse in the dark.
Seeing the richness of the Elven forest and the beauty of the Elven forest, Sophia firmly believes that only by believing in the great Eve crown, spreading the idea of equality of all things to every corner of the territory, and letting the leaders really free from the rule of the nobility, can they really change everything.
Thinking of this, the girl sighed.
She looked up at the blue sky.
The sky is as clear and transparent as washed, and the sun after the rain is much softer than ever. The warm sunshine slants on the earth, and outlines a curved rainbow in the mid air, which seems to celebrate the liberation of the city.
Well Liberation.
This is the word of the elves. They told Sophia that it meant ”free or develop”, and they were the elves' liberation army sent by the goddess to the maple collar.
Sophia thinks it's very suitable here.
Passing by the temple in the city, it has been occupied by the elves.
They are moving out the statue of the God of dusk and sunset, and welcoming the statue under Eve's crown to the cheers of the citizens.
Many believers of life have gathered around the temple. They are kneeling, praying and thanking towards the temple spontaneously
These people were just unbelievers or forced believers of evil gods yesterday.
Sophia understood why they were so fanatical.
That was the miracle of yesterday's siege.
The terror of the hand of the evil god has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the war of the total annihilation of the imperial army. Without the help of the goddess, zeroland would have been destroyed by yesterday's meteorite rain.
Even Sophia shuddered at the terrible fireball cast by the ferocious evil god.
Of course, this change in belief, Sophia thinks, will not last long. After all, the starting point of the people now is just gratitude and fear of evil gods.
But the girl firmly believes that if people learn the teachings of the goddess and truly understand the essence of the canon of life, they will become enthusiastic believers of the goddess from the heart.
After all People are not stupid.
They just lack a guiding light and a powerful belief that can really go into their hearts and resonate with them.
Now, there is.
Among the cheers of the citizens, the statue of the God of dusk and sunset was pushed to the ground.
Looking at the broken statue, Sophia's eyes flickered.
There was a flash of surprise in her expression, but it was clear and joyful. At the same time, there was a kind of fanatical sincerity
The gods that can be worshipped in the temple are not ordinary gods. They must be blessed with the power of belief.If there is no supernatural hand, such a statue will never fall apart if it is just pushed to the ground by a group of ordinary people.
However, the temple cracked and lost its luster, and even someone spitted on the statue without any reaction. That only means that the myth represented by the statue has fallen.
”Praise you, under the crown of the great Eve.”
”You are the light in the dark, you are the justice to wipe out the evil in the world, you are the advocate and defender of all injustice!”
”May your brilliance shine on me forever, and may your faith spread all over the world!”
The girl put her hands on her chest, respectfully drew a symbol of the scepter of life, and prayed respectfully.
Beyond the temple where the crowd gathered, Sophia moved on.
She went into the familiar rich area, into the familiar Lord's castle, and finally came to the familiar Castle hall.
The decoration in the castle is no different from when she left a few months ago. Everything is just like yesterday.
Looking at the Lord's chair covered with white bear skin, Sophia's eyes were in a trance.
She seems to see her father sitting in a chair, telling her the story outside. She seems to see that she broke his father's favorite magic lamp and was scolded by her mother.
Mother
Think of this word, Sophia's mind suddenly flashed a beautiful shadow.
”Mother...”
The girl sighed softly.
How long has it been since I said this word?
Maybe, from the day she died
If that person is still alive, will what happened once not happen again?
If that person is alive now, can she not live so humbly any more and also get her own happiness?
Unfortunately, there is no if.
”What are you thinking?”
Just as Sophia was full of thoughts, a familiar voice broke the silence in the hall.
The girl didn't look back, but subconsciously turned from feeling to indifference with a sigh:
”Mr. demacia, knocking at the door before entering the room is the most basic virtue. Please don't lower the average quality of the elves.”
Demacia
One of the red haired soldiers was a little depressed.
However, just when he thought that the half elf girl would continue to hurt herself, he heard the other side sigh: ”I'm thinking about my mother...”
”Mother?”
There was a movement in demacia's heart.
Sophia nodded gently, reached out and stroked the soft fur on the Lord's seat, saying:
”she was an elf saved by her father from a slaver, and fell in love with her father at first sight.”
”In the end, despite the opposition of the family and the resistance of the nobles, her father married her as a wife...”
”But even the father, who was blessed as the first heir of viscount zeroland at that time, would be under great pressure to marry an elf. After all For nobles, elves are only suitable as playthings and tools to improve their blood and offspring. ”
”It is precisely because of this that when my mother was pregnant with me, the family calculated on my father, and let my father invade a baroness with a side branch after drinking, and gave birth to my useless brother...”
”Now I think that after my father died, those people in the family insisted on supporting Carl as Lord regardless of his will. I'm afraid there's a reason for my blood.”
”The spirit can improve the blood of the side branch, and the marriage between the side branch and the main branch can further improve the quality of the offspring of the main branch, but directly make the offspring of the spirit become the orthodox successors I'm afraid it's hard for those arrogant and decadent guys to agree. ”
”It wasn't until I met Prince Rosen that I finally figured that out.”
The girl laughed at herself.
However, after listening to her words, demacia's focus went to other places:
