Chapter 653 Ideal and Reality(2/2)
She looked lost, with a hint of confusion in her eyes, and seemed to have suffered a huge blow.
As the entire team continued to move forward, her mood became more and more depressed, and the original smile no longer appeared on her face...
Not just Hewan Town.
Along the way, every village and settlement point that everyone passed by was filled with the breath of decay and difficulty.
This huge gap between ideals and reality caused the girl to shake the whole world's understanding of the whole world...
At this moment, she felt how ironic the books she saw in the castle that recorded the prosperity of the empire, how disgusting the documents that boasted the achievements of the nobles...
Why is this happening?
Why... the gap between nobles and civilians is so big?
Why…the nobles in the castle never mention the true situation of civilians?
What is the glory of the nobles, the responsibility of the nobles... and for what?
Why does the Eternal Church sit idly by and watch all this?
Is it just because of the cost-effectiveness of gaining faith that Demacia has to ignore the dilemma of civilians?
So, in this case, what is the meaning of eternal teachings that teach people good?
What is the credibility of God’s propaganda to save the world?
At this moment, Sophia was confused...
The sun is gradually sinking and the temperature is getting colder.
When the red sunset spread across the sky, the team finally stopped.
"Miss Sophia, Morning Star City is ahead. According to our information, Duke Rosen is now located in the city."
Demacia said.
His words awakened the lost Sophia from the confusion. The girl's body trembled slightly, and then subconsciously looked forward, and saw a magnificent human city appearing wherever her eyes reached.
It was a large city with a scale of no less than Maple Leaf City. The city wall alone looked twenty meters high. Under the city wall, there were tents that could not be seen at first sight. It should belong to the imperial army and the mercenary group that received the signs.
There is no doubt that since the army is here, Duke Rosen, one of the seven electoral emperors of the Holy Mannian Empire, is probably also located in the city.
"Miss Sophia, we can only send you here. If we move forward, we have already shown our activity style...ah, it is no longer suitable for us to move forward."
As the player who is most familiar with the human world, Demacia, who is also the leader of the escort team, coughed dryly and said.
After hearing his words, the girl who had always disliked him rarely did not sarcastically, but simply nodded silently.
However, Demacia saw that the other party did not quarrel with him, and for a moment she was a little uncomfortable.
"Thank you, thank you for your escort. After I regain control of the territory, I will definitely fulfill my promise."
Sophia said in a silence.
After saying that, she clenched her fists:
"I will change this situation, I will definitely..."
After hearing her murmur, Demacia opened her mouth to say something, but when she thought of Brother Mu's complaints and advice to him before leading the team, she finally endured it.
Sighing, he said:
"Miss Sophia, I wish you a smooth life. If you encounter danger, remember to take out the statue of the goddess and ask for help. The power of the elves will help you get out of trouble."
The girl hesitated for a moment and said: :(/
"Thank you... If there is really a need, I will..."
This time, she rarely did not refute.
Looking back at the sunset in the west, Sophia turned over and dismounted.
She handed over control of the horses to the elves, and then walked towards Morning Star City alone.
It was not until the girl left completely that Demacia slowly shook her head:
"I won't give up until the Yellow River..."
...
Perhaps because there were too many mercenaries coming and going, Sophia, who was dressed in a mercenary costume, did not suffer from the difficulties of the guards and entered the city smoothly.
As one of the major cities in the western region, Morningstar City is much more prosperous than Hewan Town. Even if it is in a war crisis, it is still lively. The entry of mercenaries and imperial troops has made the city a little more chaotic and noisy.
The buildings on both sides of the street are much better than those in Hewan Town, which has made Sophia feel much better. At least the residents here...the living conditions seem to be much better than those seen by the girls along the way.
But perhaps because of the chaos of war, most of the houses were closed, and only a small number of pedestrians were walking on the road, mixed with a large number of mercenaries and soldiers.
Sophia found a pedestrian and asked about the location of the city lord's mansion, then walked towards the aristocratic area in the city.
As the girl approached the noble area, the buildings on both sides of the street became more neat and beautiful. When Sophia walked through the civilian area and officially came to the noble area, the buildings within her sight finally changed to the beautiful manor villa and towering castle that she was familiar with.
However, looking at these familiar and magnificent buildings and listening to the music and laughter that were looming in the buildings, Sophia not only did not have the slightest joy, but her expression became even more melancholy.
Just as she was about to step into the noble area, two large and round guards, fully armed guards stopped her. The fastest update is mobile::
"Stop! There is a noble area ahead, and mercenaries are not allowed to enter!"
They warned fiercely.
Sophia glanced at them coldly and dispersed the disguise magic on her body.
Under the surprised gaze of the guards, she returned to her half-elves.
"Get out of the way, I am Sophia von Wells, the heir to the Wells family, Lord Zeroland, and I want to see His Excellency the Duke of Rosen."
She said coldly.
At the same time, while showing the power of a magician, she took out a badge engraved with a lion logo and exuding a radiant glory.
"Third-level mage! And... the medal of the imperial nobles!"
The expressions of the two guards changed slightly.
"Please wait, let's go and inform us!"
