Walking on the rural trail and stepping on the dried leaves, Sonia lifted her head and gazed at the town surrounded by wooden fences She and Lilian had changed their set of clothes Sonia wore a swordsman’s armor, while Lilian was clad in a cleric’s robe This type of duo wasn’t rarely seen on the continent as traveling clerics usually had a partner by their sides This was also how Lize experienced it Fortunately, Lilian was the Light Dragon and h her poas sealed, she was ultions with souise, the duo had a smooth journey Perhaps the parliament focused all their attention on Casabianca fro lady born into a wealthy faon who rarely stepped out of the palace to be drifting about like beggars Of course, this was inseparable froanizations carried out their searches, which hy to prevent any trouble, she steered clear of populated areas as much as possible and only occasionally purchased food fro in the h this wasn’t entirely safe, considering the uncertainty of when the parlia in the forest than the villages Perhaps due to the change in season fro for hibernation Despite that, no wild animals saw theon’s prestige that kept them away
“Lily, shall we rest a while and continue our journey later? We’re nearing Highland City…”
Sonia was exhausted after rushi+ng about for thole days She didn’t knohether the two archangels returned to Casabianca, but what could they do if they returned? This was a woels returned, nothing good would coave her a really bad feeling Instead of returning to Casabianca, she ht as well continue down this path… This was their only choice left
“Yes”
Lilian nodded before extending her ar Sonia’s sleeve
As the duo arrived at the village entrance, the sturdy militias scanned them curiously Fortunately, they didn’t stop theh of relief She held Lilian’s hand and entered the village Next, they needed to find a temporary place to rest, purchase some food and supplies, and continue with their journey At this point in tie cities because she knew that ruence spread the quickest there In coes in the ere much more enclosed, where neouldn’t arrive as quickly even if there were any
The only inn, which had the sae, was located near the entrance Unnourished horses were tied up by the er The inn’s hall was like a rural place filled with all sorts of stench and the smell of alcohol When Sonia pushed the wooden door open and entered the inn, the awful reek assailed her nostrils But sheIn coe, this sht, ed woman addled about like a fat, water bucket The moment she realized that the visitors weren’t drunk, troublesome farmers, she hurriedly went up to them
“Yo, I rarely receive customers this early What would both of you like to have?”
Perhaps due to the owner’s loud, resonant voice like a dinosaur, Lilian instinctively shi+vered However, Sonia responded calmly
“We are travelers froe Please prepare soreat if you have some drinks that can warm us up too Also, ould like to have so out for a few silver coins from her pocket, and placed them on the counter The inn owner’s eyes lit up She quickly put the coins away at a speed professional thieves couldn’t outdo and nodded firmly
“Hahaha, leave it to me, Misses Our apples are really well known It is the harvesting season now and I guarantee that you will be full of praises for our specialty apple wine!”
The inn owner introduced the food proudly Then, she turned around and yelled at a skinny man who immediately jumped to his feet and scrahtly at this scene, before bringing Lilian to the corner of the inn She had to ad on adventures at h she was an adventurer, where even boorish villagers like the inn owner see to her already…
It took only a short while before the piping hot bread, bacon, and sweet, warm apple ere laid out in a spread before therilled fish Of course, the food wasn’t as tasty as what Sonia and Lilian had back horilled fish was burnt Only the apple orthy of a taste Back then, Sonia and Lilian wouldn’t have eaten them But now, they had learned to savor them No matter what, noasn’t the time for them to be choosy
Squeak…
While they ate their meal, the inn’s door was pushed open by an elderly lance at the place and quickly spotted Sonia and Lilian in the corner He didn’t react to Sonia, but when he saw Lilian in a cleric’s robe, his eyes lit up Then, he scuttled toward theave a deep, respectful bow
“I’m sorry to interrupt your meal, Misses… May I know if you’re a cleric?”
“Huh?”
Lilian looked at the elderly azed at hi the matter?”
“Yes, this hat happened”
