The road ahead passes through the border of Hejiandi, but the battlefield is in another direction of Hejiandi, so there is no danger at all.

However, along the way, I have encountered many refugees who fled from Hejian.

Some refugees are with their families, while others are single, with generally sloppy images, pale faces and thin skin, and their expressions are full of vigilance against strangers. Both men, women, young and old, they carry simple weapons such as stones or branches with them.

When the mission team passed by, or the carriages carrying a large amount of supplies were passed by, it attracted countless covetous and greedy attention, and it was even more followed by many refugees several times.

But this is not a problem, and the accompanying knights can naturally kill them.

In general, these are all poor people who have lost their families due to war, but they are even more pitiful but not many. For example, those who have no chance to escape, and many dead bodies can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

People who are sick or unable to walk due to hunger seem to be everywhere along the way. Most of them collapse on both sides of the road. Some are dead, their bodies are smelly and rotten, and some are not dead yet. However, they also have abscesses and mouths, stare at the sky without any eyes waiting for death, while others are weak and gasp, expressing their expressions of desire or praying in the face of passing teams.

Elderly, women, children...

It is rare to see young and strong men, even among refugees who can continue to rush on their way. Obviously, when they were in Hejian, young and strong laborers had been forced to be recruited by the army.

"In the game of power between you princes and nobles, innocent people will always suffer the most." In the carriage, the bald eunuch Varis's voice was very soft, but it was hard to hide the sarcasm.

"It's not you, it's us." Lanley corrected his words, but his eyes were difficult to get out of a situation outside the car window-

There were two figures, one big and one small, and the mother, wearing patched clothes, stood there, hugging her thin body of three or four-year-old child tightly, her eyes were dull, and her motionless appearance looked no different from a dead body.

It was not until the carriage left and could no longer see that Renli retracted his gaze and frowned.

There are tragedies everywhere in the world.

This is the conclusion he came to along the way.

War destroyed the originally stable social order and caused countless families to perish, famine, disease, plague, bandits... All kinds of disasters are coming, and the aristocratic class is not deeply touched by this, but ordinary people have become direct victims.

Lan Li felt even more complicated about this. Even though it was just an introduction and no one knew it, it could not conceal that the war was entirely caused by him.

“It’s us indeed.”

Varis opposite did not notice that Lan Li was absent-minded at this time, or that the bald eunuch himself might be very uncomfortable at the moment, with a sad tone and a dazed expression, obviously not in his state.

"Sometimes I think, why do these things?" Varis's words were a little vague. Lanli ignored him and frowned and thought.

Maybe what should I do?

Just as he was thinking this way, a sudden burst of commotion came from the rear team, interrupting Lan Li's thoughts.

Looking at the head, he didn't see the specific situation, but the riots came and went quickly. As soon as he was heard, a knight came and said to him to report the situation.

"A servant went crazy and injured several people."

"Crazy?" Lan Li raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

"Yes, sir, go crazy, but he just injured a few of us and ran away without causing much damage." The Knight frowned and replied, "He has a lot of strength."

This seemed to be just an inconspicuous accident, but Renli attached great importance to it and even walked out of the carriage to investigate it himself.

Then he saw what he suspected in a shedless truck

A box with a lock pried open.

Renli frowned because of this.

Since becoming the Minister of Justice, he has rarely had time to pay attention to other things, but he has never forgotten many situations.

For example, the box in front of you.

I was specially "alienated" in my early years and I was always following my butt and couldn't get rid of it. All the toys inside turned into bloody human organs. Others would go crazy when they saw it...

Obviously, the servant must have thought there was something in the box, and then secretly opened it to steal it.

"It's really okay to cause trouble for yourself." Lan Li curled her lips.

This incident did not cause much impact, and he didn't care much about it. After checking it, he went back to continue riding his carriage-

It is faster to ride a horse, but the team cannot walk fast, and it is very tiring to ride a horse all the time. In this case, it is naturally more suitable to ride a carriage.

...

Lan Li didn't care, but some people attached great importance to it.

On the other side, some people who were quietly following the team among the refugees stared at the servant who had escaped from the team. They thought that this person seemed to be strange or knew something, so they struggled to follow and arrest him, and finally successfully brought the person to the leading girl.

The captured servant was wearing a light linen shirt and trousers, with messy brown hair and half of his cheeks now covered with damp soil, as if his head had been rubbed against the ground before.

However, Reness did not care about the other person's appearance, but stared blankly at a bloody "finger" that was tightly clutching in her hand.

"I don't know if he bit his finger from the unlucky guy's hand. He was like a treasure. He didn't let go no matter how he pulled it." A big man with a round face in leather armor spat at the ground and said, "Miss, I think he is a lunatic. There is nothing special about it, it's best to kill it."

Renis ignored his subordinate's words and asked the prisoner with a serious expression: "Where did you get this thing?"

The captive didn't say anything, and seemed to have not heard it, staring at the people around him with a ferocious expression. His lower lip was unknowingly bitten by his teeth, but he didn't realize it, looking irritable and bloodthirsty.

It seems that he is really a crazy person.

However, Reness didn't think so. Her eyes were always staring at the fingers in the man's hand, and she was both excited and doubtful.

Because in her opinion, this thing is the finger of "God" and it is freshly cut down!

Magic in this world is closely related to gods. She was quite proficient in this kind of knowledge in her previous life. After being reincarnated, she was in the city of Bravos, a city with a strong spirit, and she learned a lot of rare skills and knowledge.

It seems a bit reckless to break into the enemy's core base alone, but who would have thought that she, who is just a teenage girl, is actually one of the few spell masters in the world?

So she clearly identified what this thing was.

And this is also the reason why she is excited-

The gods are illusory and high above. Even if they know that many of them have physical existences, they are rare, and no one can even see their true bodies.

The more you know, the more you become, the more you are, the more you are, the more you are, the more curious Reness knows. She had long wanted to study the gods, but she had no chance in the past.

But don't think about the present-

While excited, she was full of doubts.

The servant escaped from the team, as if he had proved that the finger was also out there, but looking at the indifferent appearance of the forward team, he seemed to have no idea of ​​the value of this thing.

Just thinking about it seems impossible, didn’t Lanli say that he was the messenger of the Seven Gods?

How could you not recognize such a thing with the aura of a god?

"It's not a bait, right?" muttered secretly, Renis frowned while thinking, and even seriously doubted whether she had been exposed.

But this seems impossible...

The girl's face turned gloomy and she suddenly looked up and said, "Follow me, we won't follow you!"

"Are you finally ready to go back?" The tall and thin guard beside him breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"No, I want to follow and have a good talk with that person." The girl replied, her little face full of determination.
