Chapter 149: Under the stars

Lagos City is the main city of the Duchess of Jose Fina. The city is located more than two hundred kilometers south of the king capital. It is known as a pearl on the southern plains. It is close to the waterway and connects the southern city-states to the north. One of the most important transportation hubs in the Kingdom of Iberia is the trade city of Suero, one south and one north.
The host José Fina and her mother's last Duchess loved literature, poetry and music. After more than 50 years of operation, they built a concert hall, an amphitheatre and a theater, which added a lot of humanity to this place. Slowly, from a commercial capital to a cultural capital, it is a place where many nobles around the new school yearn for.
But at this moment, the former prosperity of Lagos City is no longer visible. The whole city is full of ruins and black smoke marks. The city ’s most proud Jose Fina Concert Hall has also become a Piles of rubble, most of these buildings were destroyed by the fire that day the city broke.
At that time, the resistance of Jose Fina's army was very tenacious. Celinda besieged the city for half a month before opening a gap in the wall. When she attacked the city, she promised her troops that she could plunder for a day after breaking through the city walls. Unexpectedly, Jose Fina actually had the courage to die with the enemy. After the city was broken, secretly sent people to set fire, and finally the whole city was caught in the fire. Several troops that attacked the city were caught in the fire. The loss was heavy, and some The team was even annihilated.
Among these people are not only the guards of the mad warriors she relied on, but also the brave men she selected from the entrapped people. After a battle, these people have already had a somewhat elite momentum, just as she When trying to cultivate these people, Jose Fina was burned to death.
To make matters worse, the wealth and food in the cities she was thinking about were also burned.
Celinda was furious, so after capturing the Duke's Palace and grabbing Jose Fina, she cut off her head by hand.
Now the city of art has become a large barracks, and the location of the original concert hall has simply become a pit for dumping garbage and excreta. The remaining residents of the city were either put into the ranks by her, or they became slaves as the vent targets of her ranks.
Jose Fina ’s mansion was only a half away from the fire because it was far away from the fire and was stony. The main buildings are still in good condition. Celinda and Li Jia, as well as a group of high-ranking officers, lived in the Duke's Palace.
Li Jia and Celinda live alone in a small building in the Duke ’s Palace. Although this building is small, it has five floors and is almost the highest point in the city. It turned out to be the place where Jose Fina's father lived. Her father loves astrology, so this place where both people can live and watch the stars was created by the last duchess for his husband. Li Jia also likes this place. At least every night when he climbs onto the rooftop of this building and lays on the deck chair of the Duke ’s father looking up at the starry sky, it is the only moment he can temporarily forget the tragic situation of the city. At such a high place, the smell of smoke and dust in the city that has not yet dissipated are temporarily unscented. Nor will they see the soldiers bullying their slaves. The only shortcoming is that in this night time, there will still be sporadic sounds coming from far away. However, the area where the army was stationed in the Duke's mansion was still a little bit away. Li Jia had no way of telling whether it was a clamor or a pleading cry.
Under the same starry sky, I do n’t know what Xiao Chen is doing now, I heard that they have recaptured the Heimu Pass, I heard that they have stabilized the basic situation of the newly occupied territory, I heard that their realms have all risen, and There must be a lot of legendary stories, right?
Looking at the clear and splendid starry sky, Li Jia suddenly felt very lonely. He felt like a puppy that strayed into the wolf pack. Although the wolves thought he was the same kind, he had never really understood their behavior and practices. .
The wolf wants to eat people, but he can't talk.
Li Jia thought about the thoughts drifting farther and farther, and suddenly felt that there was a cold little hand on his cheek. He was very familiar with that hand, and its owner was his only comfort in this terrible chaotic world. Even though they often do not understand each other, this does not change his attachment to her.

"Are you dazed here again?" Celinda asked. Li Jia turned around and saw that she was wearing light armor, even the saber around her waist was not removed, and her face was obviously tired. She seemed to have just finished her affairs in the army every day. Numerous batches of documents and information were sent to Celinda. She dealt with these affairs with all her heart and soul, so she saw her haggard day by day.
"Selinda. You ..." Before Li Jia's words of consolation had been uttered, Celinda put a finger against her lips.
"I know what you are going to say, but there are some things I have to do, don't say it, shall you?" Celinda sat in the chair beside him, and the nails on her body made a soft noise. She lay halfway down and looked up at the sky with Li Jia.
After a while, Celinda asked, "Are you feeling better these days?"
"Uh? What?"
"It's about what we are doing all the way. I still remember the expression on your face when I cut Josefina's head with a sword, as if I didn't know me."
"You think too much. I didn't ..."
Celinda interrupted him: "Recently, when I was reading official documents, I would read some history books. I saw that these books have used the rise and fall of many dynasties, and used only a few simple things for many wars and battles. It ’s described in a sentence. But the details of the time were not known. Did Allen I ever indulge his soldiers when he captured a city? The Master of the Spirit Tower was a ghost army from there? These questions are all There is no record, and only the praise and praise of the historical writer are left in the book. Even if there is some criticism, it is just a few simple words. Saying that Allen I likes to famous paintings? Saying that Emperor Luca likes elves and beauty? No People care about and record those things that worry you. "
"Yes, I understand this truth.
"So, you just don't get used to it, because the world has always been like this." Celinda leaned over and patted Li Jia's face.
"It's just that I always hear that kind of voice, that kind of painful scream, do you understand?" Li Jia said, holding Celinda's hand, "You listen, someone is yelling, the voice is so sad."
Celinda suddenly frowned, and suddenly stood up from her chair. "What are they shouting for?"
"Huh? It looks like Miss Selida, is calling you!"
