The Crowned God [West Fantasy]

After Yuesemona fled the main city with her two children, she deliberately drove away the unicorn in the opposite direction, bypassing the densely populated residential areas, and walked out of the city along the alleys.But they had to pass through a city gate and a drawbridge before they could truly leave the sphere of influence of the royal capital.

As they expected, the gate of the city was guarded by heavy guards, and every pedestrian who passed by would be checked.

Yuesemona stopped, and performed a disguise operation on the two children, making them look like boys begging along the street, with ragged clothes, thin limbs, and a realistic stench all over their bodies.

Maya felt as if she had just crawled out of the swill, and she was about to vomit so badly. Yuesemona repeatedly told them not to show disgusted expressions, even if they covered their nose and mouth.

Maya took a long breath, with tears in her eyes, and nodded towards Yuesemona as if she was dying.

And Lilith stood quietly at the side all the time, without any reaction. This child's temperament is too outstanding, even if he is unkempt, he can't hide his edge. Yuesemona sighed, and only hoped that she could pass the test smoothly.

She disguised herself as a middle-aged man/mercenary in iron armor, with a beggar on each side, and walked towards the gate of the city.

"Stop." A fat officer shouted, "What are you doing?"

The mercenary raised his head, showing a dull and lifeless face, and said in a hoarse voice: "Do something for others, throw these two beggars out of the city."

The officer yelled again: "Say clearly, who do you work for!"

"The owner of the restaurant in the city center, what is his name?" The mercenary smiled lazily, "You know that, in our business, we only take money and don't look at people."

The officer snorted, obviously scoffing at the profession of mercenary, "Since your boss hates these two beggars, why don't you kill these two boys, and throw them out of the city without trouble?"

Hearing this sentence, Maya's pupils froze tightly, kicking her feet and began to struggle.

The mercenary tightened his grip on him, spat an obscenity, and then said to the officer with a smile: "I also want to kill the troublemaker, but the boss won't let me, he is religious."

The officer frowned: "What religion do you believe in?"

The mercenary said: "The Holy Cult of Light, that's the one now..."

"All right, all right!" The officer interrupted him with a look of boredom, "Damn it, since the death of the God of Light, those people held memorial ceremonies in the street in a grand manner, as if they were superior to orthodox religions." , Mentioning this makes me angry, get out!"

The mercenary nodded with a smile, and left with the two beggars.

He walked all the way to the desolate outskirts before he put down the two children in his arms. Seeing that there was no one around, he relieved himself of the witchcraft.

Yuesemona was sweating profusely and her back was drenched at the moment. She had already consumed too much witch power when she fought against the imperial guards, and now she was trying her best to maintain the disguise technique, and her power was close to exhaustion.

Seeing her exhausted look, Maya whispered, "Let's go somewhere to buy some herbs, and get a few candles, so I can perform disguise for myself."

Yue Simona looked at the city gate not far away, frowned and said: "The guards have not relaxed yet, neither of you should use witchcraft, let alone carry witchcraft tools with you."

The Mayan chick pecked at the rice and nodded: "Oh... oh..."

But she still has a Book of Shadows in her bosom!

"What are you doing in a daze, we have to get out of here quickly." Yuesemona urged her, and Maya quickly covered her pockets, trotting to keep up with her pace.

In order to avoid the pursuers, they can only choose to walk on the path that is inaccessible. They have to tense their nerves all the time, and they have to hide when they hear the sound of horseshoes.

After a few days, the three of them were severely exhausted, and they were all exhausted, so they fell asleep in the weeds at night.

As the sky was getting brighter, Yuesemona got up and pushed the two children.

"Well, it's time to get up."

Maya got up in a daze. She had several dreams in one night. She was squatting in the kitchen waiting for the dessert made by the priest to be baked.

But when he opened his eyes, there was only a piece of desolate wild grass.

Yuesemona coughed slightly in her ears, and Maya realized that she and Lilith were covered with her robes, and Yuesemona let herself blow the cold wind all night.

"Are you cold?" Maya reached out to touch her forehead.

Yue Simona closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, she felt a splitting headache, she shook her head and said, "There are mercenaries walking around here, so it's not appropriate to stay for a long time, let's go."

Maya turned around to call Lilith, but she saw her sitting with her arms folded on her knees, her messy light-colored hair sticking to her pale cheeks, staring blankly at the clearing of grass, motionless.

Maya called softly: "Lilith, we should go."

Lilith didn't nod or answer, and stood up slowly, like a puppet that had lost its soul.

Maya looked distressed and wanted to hold her hand, but Lilith avoided it sideways.

"You... go back, I'm alone." She said hoarsely.

"Lilith, don't be like this, okay..." Maya's eyes were flushed with anxiety, she really wanted to help her, but she didn't know what to do.

Bring Yimil back?But he can't come back.

Yuesemona said in a low voice: "Currently, the believers of the Holy Cult of Light have rioted, and it will be dangerous for us to go back. We have to go all the way north and return to the city of King Aerys first, and don't think about the rest."

Maya turned her head and asked, "Go back to the capital? What about Lilith, and what will the father do with her?"

Yue Simona frowned, and said softly: "I don't know, but at least it's safer than being in the southern border."

Maya was in a hurry: "But it's not Lilith's fault at all, she definitely didn't really want to do that, she just... just... lost control for a while."

Yue Simona sighed, and said solemnly: "We don't have time to stand here and chat, let's go, it will be inconvenient to go on the road after dawn."

Knowing that she couldn't compete with her, Maya bit her lip unwillingly, and turned to walk with Lilith.But Lilith deliberately distanced herself from her, and there seemed to be something strange in her eyes.

Along the way, Lilith has been hiding her emotions deeply, even if Maya can empathize with her, she can't feel any information.

But at the moment just now, she suddenly felt an extremely strong emotional fluctuation, the scorching fire made her unable to breathe, it was heart-piercing, burning anger.

Maya was startled, Lilith... Who is she mad at?

She didn't dare to ask, and didn't know how to speak, so she just lowered her head and followed Yuesemona silently. After more than half a month, they came to Colin City on foot.

Maya couldn't believe that this place was enough to be called the "King City", because Kelin was full of broken bricks and broken tiles, the streets were full of potholes, children wearing shabby clothes, running barefoot on the ground, dying old people or injured people begging along the street everywhere.

"This is the junction of the north and the south. Soldiers will not cross the border easily, so we are safe for the time being." Yuesemona led them into the city and found a shady place for the two children to sit. "You sit here , don’t run around, I’m going to buy some water and dry food, and I’ll be back to find you in a while.”

Hearing the water, Maya's eyes lit up immediately.The climate around Colin was dry, and they almost ran out of water. For several days, they had to endure burning sore throats and headed for the journey under the scorching sun.

She sat on the steps, licked her dry lips, and waited anxiously for Yuesemona to come back.

Lilith glanced at her, and handed over the water bag in her hand: "Here, I have one more sip."

Maya was so excited that she was about to burst into tears. Lilith didn't say a word all the way, but this time she actually took the initiative to hand her water. Could it be that she wanted to reconcile with her?

"Hey, you guys." A cold voice sounded from the side.

It was a woman with long purple hair, wearing a white-yellow coarse cloth dress, with deerskin gloves that reached to her upper arms on both hands, and a bamboo basket in her hand, "Would you like some water, my friend?" There is a well where you live, fill it with as much water as you want."

Maya said happily: "Really? That's great."

Lilith gently pulled her from behind, Maya turned her head and said with a smile: "It's okay, we'll be back in a while, we won't keep Sister Mona waiting for a long time, besides, we can find water by ourselves, and it's also helping her reduce the burden !"

The long-haired woman didn't say anything, but turned around and led them into a piece of ruins in the north of the city. One of the houses was still intact, and the woman said that this was where she lived.

She put the basket on the ground and pointed to the well next to her: "Get the water yourself."

"Thank you!" Maya smiled at the woman.

The other party didn't raise her head, hummed indifferently, and continued to pick the cabbage in the bamboo basket with her head down, peeling off the rotten leaves and throwing them aside. Because of the gloves on her hands, her movements seemed inflexible.

Maya felt very strange, and said, "If it's inconvenient for you, why don't you take off the gloves?"

A glint of sharpness flashed in the woman's silver eyes, and she said coldly, "Don't meddle in your own business."

Maya touched her nose, put away her smile sullenly, filled a pot of water obediently, and was about to leave when she saw a touch of red clothes rushing towards her.

"Maya!" Yuesemona scolded angrily, "I told you to stay well, what are you doing here!"

Maya raised the water bag in her hand and said with a smile: "Look, a kind-hearted man borrowed a well to fetch water for us. We have water to drink!"

Seeing that there was an outsider, Yuesemona couldn't help restraining her anger, and thanked the woman politely, but the other party still looked aloof and ignored her.

"Okay, we should go too, don't waste time in Colin." She urged Maya.

Maya complained: "I'm leaving again—but my legs are so tired and my feet hurt so much. Look, Lilith is also very tired."

The woman peeling vegetables looked up at the sky, and said lightly: "Let's start at this time? Where do you think Colin is? Where is the child going?"

Yue Simona pursed her lips warily, but did not answer her question.

The woman didn't care about their comings and goings, she pointed to the ruins next to her and said, "I'd like to suggest to you that you should find a place to spend the night tonight, although Colin is poor and poor, at least it is safer than the wilderness outside. "

Yuesemona really didn't know the situation around Colin, so for the safety of her two children, she agreed to spend the night here.There were still a few houses in the ruins that had not completely collapsed. She simply cleaned them up, spread out the blankets she had just bought, and lit a bonfire for the children to rest here.

"Hey."

When night fell, the purple-haired woman came over again, holding a pot of cabbage and tofu soup in her hand, "I think you have traveled a long distance here, so you probably don't have much to eat, so this soup will warm you up. "

"Ah...thank you." Yuesemona took it hesitantly, looked at him carefully, and said tentatively, "You don't look like a demon."

"Sky Clan." The woman stroked her long hair intentionally or unintentionally, still wearing buckskin gloves, "Is it strange that there are people from the Sky Clan in Colin?"

Colin used to be a prosperous religious center, and it was the main activity place of the missionaries of the heavenly world. The monastery and the orphanage were also funded by the heavenly world. There are many people from the Sky Clan staying here.

Yue Simona smiled apologetically, thanked her, and turned to enter the room with the soup.

Maya saw the soup in her hand, and got out of the quilt in surprise, "Wow, where did it come from, I haven't eaten hot food for a long time."

Yuesemona tested the poison with silver needles first, and then gave each of the two children a bowl of soup, "It was given by the purple-haired woman."

Maya said: "She is such a nice person!"

Yue Simona narrowed her eyes: "Don't you think she is a bit strange, as long as I get close enough to someone, I can use the brain reading technique to probe the memory and thoughts of that person, but I can't read that woman's thoughts. Normally, this witchcraft will not work unless the opponent is a wizard stronger than me, but she is clearly not a witch."

Maya took another bowl and said, "Whatever, she is a good person anyway."

Yue Simona said solemnly: "Your Highness, I always feel uneasy and have a bad premonition. We will leave here tomorrow morning and return to the northern border as soon as possible. Only your father can protect you."

Maya gulped down the soup, and murmured twice.

At this moment, Pella, who was standing outside the door, had a serious look on her face, and her gloved arms trembled. Your Highness...the father...the Northern Territory...she understood everything in an instant. The child inside turned out to be Camillo's. daughter! ! !
