Infinite Anecdotes

192．Sanctuary

When Tang Cheng and Emilia arrived at Mezas, it was almost dusk. They packed their stomachs with dry food and arrived at the mansion smoothly after Parker got off work from [-] to [-]. former village.

Nowadays, people in the village go to the empty building, and suddenly they are much depressed, leaving only a piece of ruins covered with broken bricks and broken tiles.Tang Cheng looked at these houses, it didn't look like they were burned, but were torn apart by the explosion.There is a pile of dust and broken bricks accumulated on the ground, and it seems impossible to restore it alone. If you want to gather the population again on this ruin, you can only rebuild it.

As if thinking of those displaced people, Emilia's expression suddenly became disappointed.

Obviously she was angered and hated by the villagers she met before, but Emilia is still thinking about the other party, she is really a good person too much.

To be honest, this kind of personality is not suitable for being a king, because sometimes you have to be ruthless and have the awareness to give up for your beliefs, but Emilia will probably be exhausted for everyone's demands Well, in the end, you will be disappointed because you can't meet everyone's expectations.

Tang Cheng touched her head with his hand to comfort her, and the latter raised his head and smiled back, indicating that he didn't care.

The two quickly drove the earth dragon to Roswaal's mansion.This place is different from the last time I came here, the mansion has not been damaged, it seems that the battle that should have happened here was stopped in advance.

Tang Cheng and Emilia did not meet Rem in the courtyard, but instead saw a strange maid appearing in the mansion that they had never seen before.She has waist-length blond hair and green eyes. Tang Cheng noticed that her teeth were as sharp as those of an orc, so she should be a hybrid of human and orc.

Tang Cheng was a little puzzled, but he didn't do anything, because he recognized that the maid's outfit on the other party was the same in style except that it was different in size from Ramrem.

"Who are you?" Tang Cheng asked.

"Shouldn't it be basic etiquette to state your own name before asking someone else's name? What a vulgar barbarian." The other party responded calmly.

"..." Tang Cheng suddenly remembered that he had heard this arrogant and rude tongue somewhere before.

"Long time no see, Frederica."

"Long time no see, Lady Emilia." The maid bowed to Emilia beside Tang Cheng.

This undoubtedly proves that the two people know each other. Emilia explained to Tang Cheng: "Frederica used to be a maid in Roswaal's mansion just like Ram and Rem, and also their predecessor. .”

So it turned out that Tang Cheng finally found out the source of the poisonous tongue of the pair of maids and sisters.

But there is one thing that Emilia doesn't understand: "But why is Frederica here? I remember that you should have arrived at the separation..."

Emilia was speechless for a while, and she couldn't remember the name, because it was not the name of a rare nobleman that often appeared in her ears, even Roswaal, who was the main family, never mentioned it.

"It's Mirod, Lord Roswaal's younger brother." Frederica lowered her eyelashes, stood respectfully and gracefully, and said, "But in fact, due to some personal reasons, I I have already resigned from that job, and this time I was called back because of the lack of manpower at the mansion."

"?" Tang Cheng felt incredible.

Because even including Tang Cheng in this mansion, there are only 5 people in total, and Ram and Rem are the maids, so there is no such thing as shortage of manpower.

"May I ask, where are Lord Roswaal, Ram, and Rem?" Tang Cheng realized the problem.

"Sanctuary." The maid replied.

"Sanctuary?" A completely unfamiliar vocabulary.

Emilia seemed to know a little bit about this, she explained to Tang Cheng: "I heard from Roswaal before that it seems to be a place guarded by the Mezas family for generations.

"Do you know?" Tang Cheng looked at the maid in front of him.

The latter was silent for a while, and did not answer the question directly: "I am here to wait for you and take you there."

Emilia and Tang Cheng looked at each other.

The Mezas Territory is a territory that has been passed down from generation to generation. It has a vast forest, a mine rich in magic ore, and a large number of fields. The Mezas family has been rich in magic talents for generations. The most outstanding One will inherit the title of Earl of the Frontier. In fact, we now know that each Patriarch is actually Roswaal himself, and the name Roswaal is his original name.

Every member of the Mezas family is guarding an ancient secret and guarding a place called the Holy Land in this land.Because of the passage of time, most of the Mezzas family have even forgotten the reason why they guarded this place. Even those who live in the sanctuary, they know very little.

"The words of Sanctuary are ahead."

Frederica was in charge of leading the way, followed by Tang Cheng and Emilia. They came all the way here through the secret passage behind Roswaal's mansion. Seeing that the sight distance became wider, they were about to leave When the woods could even see the village in front of her, Frederica stopped suddenly and didn't take a step forward.

Tang Cheng noticed her abnormal behavior and stopped Emilia at the same time.

"What's ahead?" he asked Frederica over his shoulder.

"Sanctuary." The maid replied.

"But why did you stop?"

"Because I am only responsible for sending you here, and you need to go there by yourself."

"Why?" Tang Cheng asked suspiciously.

"...[-]" Frederica was silent for a moment, and then said: "Because that is my hometown, and I escaped."

Tang Cheng looked at the half-beast girl in front of him with some surprises, and finally didn't forcefully ask her about her life experience, because Emilia, who had the same miserable childhood, was already moved by the silhouette.

"Are Roswaal and Ram in the village ahead?"

"Master Roswaal and Ram are in the village ahead." The maid replied.

Emilia looked up at Tang Cheng, and realized that the two of them would pass here, and there was only a little way left anyway.

"During the time you are away, I will be in charge of the work of the mansion. If you have anything to do, please come here to find me, although you may not necessarily do it."

The maid said so, and then watched Tang Cheng and Emilia, who raised their eyebrows, enter the sanctuary until they had gone a long way, but she still stayed there.

Apart from the lack of reverence in her tone, and even a little choking, there is indeed nothing to criticize about her quality as a maid.

They walked along the open grassland towards the direction of the village.It seems that the scale here is not smaller than the village near Roswaal's mansion. On the contrary, the buildings are arranged more tightly - it seems that the population is quite large.

Tomson was surprised to find that Emilia's face was also full of curiosity, and couldn't help asking: "Hasn't Leah been here before?"

Emilia shook her head, and said after a while, "But I did hear from Roswaal before that he and Ram would come here every once in a while for a few days."
