[LC Doujin] Sophie's Diary

"My name is Serafina, the eldest daughter of Lord Bruegler." Serafina introduced herself, "What about you?"

"Sophie...I'm from Italy." Sophie didn't know how to introduce herself, so she just said briefly, then thought about it, and then asked: "I came here on a trip, and I wanted to be the same as usual Looking for a hotel to stay in, but... well, so far no success."

Shrugging her shoulders, Sophie expressed her difficulties; she didn't feel blushed when she made trouble for others when they met for the first time.

"There are no hotels in Bruegler, and few people travel here, but after all, this is an independent country, and there are post houses for the outside world." Serafina said kindly, "Do you need me to lead the way?"

"Oh? Really, then there is trouble."

Sophie immediately picked up the stick, but just after she finished speaking, she saw the maid who had been standing behind Seraphina tugging at her lady's sleeve.

"What? Is there any difficulty?" Sophie's eyes were sharp, and she said immediately after seeing it: "It's okay, I'm not a poor person, and I won't live and eat for free. I have money, so I can pay by the hour."

"It's not necessary." Serafina shook off the maid's hand without showing any signs, and said generously: "Bruegler is not a harsh nation, how can they accept money from guests coming from afar, if you don't mind, Just follow me."

Sophie blinked, looked at Serafina, and nodded after a while: "Okay, but please wait for me."

After speaking, she took the bread and walked to an old man squatting under the eaves.

That may not be an old man, the traces of wrinkles between his eyebrows and eyes are not very heavy, but he is very old, his skin is pale and haggard, his body is thin and his eyes are dull, like a stiff corpse that has just died.

"You dropped it."

As Sophie said, she stuffed the "titanium alloy" bread into his hand, and put a golden coin in the old man's hand together with the bread.

The old man raised his head, looked at Sophie mechanically, and said nothing.

"This is not a charity, remember." Sophie said seriously: "You can use this gold coin to exchange some food and change your clothes. After that, find a place with good feng shui... to live in If you can’t afford a good house, you have to make up for it after you die, right?”

Sophie gave a big smile when she said this, but the old man was obviously not used to the cold humor of the girl in front of him, but after hearing it, he lowered his head numbly and looked at the dazzling gold coin in his hand.

Sighing, Sophie stood up silently.

"We can go now, Miss Serafina."

Serafina was still dazed by what Sophie said to the old man just now, but at this moment she suddenly came back to her senses, nodded immediately, and turned to lead the way.

The maid followed her and looked back at Sophie unfriendly.

Sophie didn't pay attention, and before she left, she turned her attention to the dying old man squatting in the corner.

The old man raised his head and looked at Sophie, his lips moved; although he couldn't make a sound, Sophie still knew that he was saying thank you.

Turning her head, Sophie silently followed behind Serafina.

There is no real post house in Bruggles. The so-called post house by Serafina is just a guest room in the lord's mansion, but even so Sophie is very satisfied. She finally saw the long-awaited smoke , rising slowly into the sky in the twilight twilight.

Sophie liked the sight, at least it proved that there were people alive in this sterile place, and people who needed to eat.

"Sister, you are back."

When Unity came over, he obviously saw the stranger behind Serafina, so he asked suspiciously: "Well... this lady is..."

"I'm a traveler, and I want to stay in the post house for a few days." Serafina replied lightly.

"Traveler? Someone has noticed the existence of our Brugler? Since Dieter left, no outsiders have come here for a long time..." Unity said with a smile, and then formally put his right hand on his chest , said politely: "Welcome, traveler from afar."

The Unity in front of me is different from what Sophie originally imagined. He is not gloomy, but cheerful and polite. In short, he is much different from the manga... Is it because Serafina is not dead yet?

Sighing, Sophie slowly asked: "Since Master Dieter left, is it true that no outsider has come here again?"

"You know Dieter?" Unity was obviously surprised by this.

"Well, I was in the Sanctuary... it was a trip, I met Dieter of Aquarius there."

"He really fulfilled the agreement between us and became the Saint Seiya of Aquarius!?" Unity was overwhelmed with surprise: "Then how is he doing now?"

"Now?" Sophie thought for a while, then said uncertainly, "Well, it's pretty good...you're still alive..."

This answer was a bit weird, no one would describe a person's life as being alive, but Sophie happened to have such a quirk; so Unity was stunned at the time, obviously not understanding what Sophie meant.

"To be alive is to be alive. For a saint, being alive is a good thing..." Sophie frowned and said impatiently, "I'm a little tired, can you take me to my bedroom?"

Sophie was a little strange, and the maid frowned again, with a look of disgust on her face.

"Well, no problem, come with me."

With that said, Serafina turned around and led the way.

Sophie didn't speak, didn't say goodbye to Unity, but just followed behind Serafina.

The bedroom is not far from the door of the front hall, just turn around a long corridor.

After taking Sophie to the bedroom, Serafina was about to leave, but before she left, she couldn't help asking a question.

"Why would you say that to that old man? Why do you think he's going to die soon..."

Serafina must have wanted to ask this question when she was on the road, but she finally endured until now.

"His soul has been exhausted, and he is faintly detaching from his body. I can see all of this." Sophie replied categorically.

"Soul, exhaustion?" She repeated these two words dubiously, obviously not understanding.

"Ordinary people can't see the soul, but I can." Sophie patiently explained: "I... can be regarded as a witch doctor."

"Witch doctor!?"

Seraphina was stunned, obviously this profession is rare, the reason for this is naturally the famous "witch incident" that happened in the Middle Ages; and the consequences of the tragic massacre that ended at the end of the last century were , at least in this century, no one dares to claim to know any kind of witchcraft, even beneficial spells that cure diseases and exorcise evil spirits.

"What? Is there something wrong?" Sophie bent her lips and joked, "You don't want to burn me to death, do you? Is this the sphere of influence of the Catholic Church?"

"No, of course not." Serafina quickly waved her hand, but said hesitantly, "I'm just surprised that there are people like witch doctors..."

"There are always many surprises in this world. For example, I really can't figure out why there are still humans living in such a harsh environment?"

"Maybe... there is some special mission..."

After finishing speaking, Serafina turned around, turned her back to Sophie and said, "I don't know how to describe what you have done. Although it is cruel, it is still a kind of mercy; perhaps, there is no such thing in your world." Lie, even with good intentions."

After speaking, she didn't give Sophie time to think carefully, but just left.

My world has no lies?God, I lie like I eat every day...

Sophie thought silently, watching Serafina's leaving back, and finally turned around.

Finally arrived at Bruegler while alive, and now there is only one goal: Auriha Steel!

As a matter of course, Sophie is racing against time every day to find the seal of Athena hidden in the lord's mansion; but in fact, treasure hunting requires a certain amount of luck. After the eruption, nothing related to good luck happened to Sophie, so she had hit a nail in the search for Aoliha Steel.

It was during the time when Sophie was distressed and clueless that Serafina began to fall ill.

At first it was just a common cold, but Sophie kindly went to visit her, and specifically confirmed that it was only a minor illness, something that two packs of Banlangen could solve, so she didn't care at all; It was getting heavier and heavier, and even the Lord's Mansion posted a notice to the outside world to find a famous doctor.

At that time, Sophie still felt that what the lord did was a bit exaggerated, until one day when Sophie passed by Serafina's room, she smelled a smell—the smell of death.

It is indeed unbelievable that a small cold can be associated with death.

Doubts gradually arose in her heart, and Sophie finally felt that there was something weird about this matter; so, she finally decided to check it out herself.
