"World Tree Game ( to find the latest chapter!
Maple leaf collar, Ze Luolan.
Sophia walked on a familiar street, with cheers from the citizens on both sides of the road.
The white smoke that was ignited during the siege can still be seen everywhere in the city, which is the natural situation after the fire is extinguished.
Today’s weather is a bit cool, and the rain for a while in the morning has washed away the smell after the battle and the burnt smell of the house, leaving only the earthy smell of the spring.
The roads in the city are still wet, and many roads in the civilian areas have even turned into mud. If Sophia hadn't been riding a unicorn, her legs and feet might have been wrapped in mud.
There is no way, even if it is the surplus Maple Leaf Pearl Pearl Ze Luolan, the only roads where the municipal maintenance is relatively timely are the rich areas and the main roads, and the aristocrats are always too lazy to manage the slightly remote and remote places.
After a heavy rain, it would be good if it didn't become an ocean. After all, the drainage system in the city has not been updated for hundreds of years. The inner city is okay. Later, many parts of the outer city were expanded and even the drainage sewers were not dug.
Sophia, who had never been out of the castle, didn't know these things, but at this moment, paying attention to these details has once again deepened her belief in herself.
The empire has decayed, and the nobility has fallen.
You should never expect that these lofty guys will have a real concern for civilians.
Even if there is, it is just out of safeguarding their "property".
In the eyes of many nobles, preferential treatment of civilians is far better than training or recruiting a few powerful professionals.
After all, in this extraordinary world, as long as you master this powerful enough power, even if it is violent, ordinary people will not be able to make any waves.
This time the "Red Maple Kingdom" is an example.
Relying on the existing system, it is impossible to truly increase productivity, to effectively use extraordinary powers, and to create a world where everyone can live happily and have hope for the future.
But it's different now.
The increase in magic power in the world of Segus is an opportunity, the rebellious frontier uncle is also a foreshadowing of the purge of the nobles in the original territory, and the emergence of the church of life is like a beacon in the dark.
Seeing the wealth of the Fairy Forest and the beauty of the Fairy Forest, Sophia firmly believes:
Only by believing in the great Eve crown, only by spreading the idea of ​​equality of all things to every corner of the territory, and only by letting the citizens truly free from the rule of the nobility and awakening their minds, can everything be truly changed.
Thinking of this, the girl sighed slightly.
She raised her head and looked at the blue sky.
The sky curtain was as clear and translucent as if it had been washed, and the sun after the rain was much softer than ever. The warm sun shining diagonally on the earth, faintly outlined a curved rainbow in mid-air, It seems to be celebrating the liberation of the city.
Hmm... liberation.
This is the word of the elves. They told Sophia that the word means "freedom or development", and they are the elves' liberation army sent by the goddess to the maple leaf collar.
Sophia feels that it is suitable for use here.
Passing by the temple in the city, it has been occupied by the first elves.
They are moving out the idol of the of dusk and sunset, and welcome the idol under the crown of Eve amidst the cheers of the citizens "praising the of beauty".
There have been a lot of life believers gathered around the temple, they are spontaneously kneeling toward the temple, praying, expressing thanks...
These people were just unbelievers or followers of the evil who were forced to convert yesterday.
And why they are so fanatical, Sophia also understands very well.
That was the miracle of yesterday's siege.
The horror of the Cthulhu Palm has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the complete destruction of the Imperial Army, and without the goddess's action, Ze Luolan would have been destroyed by the meteorite rain that filled the sky yesterday.
The terrifying fireball dropped by the evil god, even Sophia at the time shuddered.
Of course, this change in beliefs, Sophia believes, will not last, after all, the people's starting point now is only gratitude and fear of evil gods.
But the girl firmly believes that if people learn the doctrine of the goddess and truly understand the essence of the "Sacred Book of Life", they will definitely become fanatics of the goddess from the heart.
After all... the people are not stupid.
They just lack a beacon to show the way, a powerful belief that can truly enter their hearts and make them resonate from their hearts.
And now, there is already.
Amidst the cheers of the citizens, the idol of the of twilight and sunset was pushed to the ground.
Looking at the shattered idol, Sophia's eyes flashed lightly.
There was a hint of surprise in her expression, but there was clarity and joy in the surprise, and at the same time there was a bit of fanaticism and sincerity...
The gods that can be enshrined in the temple are by no means ordinary gods, they must be blessed by the power of faith.
And a statue like this, if there is no extraordinary person to take action, if it is just pushed to the ground by a group of ordinary people, it will definitely not fall apart.
And the temple cracked and lost its luster, and even someone spit on the idol without the slightest response. It only meant one thing—
The mythical existence represented by the idols has fallen.
"Praise you, under the crown of the great Eve."
"You are the light in the dark, you are the justice that sweeps away the evil in the world, and you are the advocate and defender of all injustice!"
"May your brilliance shine on me forever, and may your faith spread throughout the world!"
The girl put her hands on her chest, respectfully drew a symbol of the scepter of life, and prayed respectfully.
Crossing the temple where the crowd gathered, Sophia moved on.
She entered the familiar wealthy area, entered the familiar lord's castle, and finally came to the familiar castle hall.
The furnishings in the castle are no different from when she left a few months ago, everything is just like yesterday.
Looking at the lord's chair covered with white bear skin, Sophia's vision was a little trembled.
She seemed to see her father sitting on a chair again, telling herself an outside story, and she seemed to see herself here again breaking his father's most beloved magic lamp and being reprimanded by her mother.
mother……
Thinking of this word, Sophia suddenly flashed a beautiful figure in her mind.
"Mother..."
The girl sighed slightly.
How long have you not said this word?
Perhaps, from the day she died...
If that person is still alive, will everything that happened before will not happen again?
If that person is alive now, can she not have to live so humble, and can also get her own happiness?
Unfortunately, there is no if.
"What are you thinking about?"
Just when Sophia was thinking, a familiar voice broke the silence in the hall.
The girl didn't look back, but changed her expression subconsciously from feeling to indifferent, and sighed:
"Your Excellency Demacia, knocking on the door before entering the room is the most basic virtue. Please don't reduce the average quality of the elves."
Demacia:...
A certain red-haired soldier looked a little depressed.
However, just when he thought that the half-elf girl would continue to hurt herself, he heard the other party sigh:
"I'm thinking about my mother..."
"mother?"
Demacia's heart moved.
Sophia nodded lightly, stretched out her hand to stroke the soft fur on the lord's seat, and said:
"She was an elf saved by his father from a slave trader, and fell in love with his father at first sight."
"Finally, despite the family's opposition and the resistance of the nobles, my father married her as his wife..."
"It's just that, even if the father who was the first heir of Viscount Zerowan was blessed at the time, marrying an elves as a wife would be under tremendous pressure. After all...for the nobles, elves are only suitable for playthings and for improving bloodlines. Tools for future generations."
"It is precisely because of this that the family calculated the father when the mother was pregnant with me, and let the father violate a baroness of the side branch after drinking, and gave birth to my trash brother..."
"Think about it now. After my father passed away, those people in the family insisted on supporting Karl as the lord regardless of the will he left behind. I'm afraid it also has my blood."
"The elves can improve the bloodline of the side branches, and the intermarriage of the side branches and the main branch can further improve the quality of the offspring of the main branch, but directly let the offspring of the elves become the orthodox heirs...It may be difficult for those arrogant and decadent guys to agree."
"It wasn't until I met Duke Rosen that I finally figured this out."
The girl laughed at herself.
However, after listening to her words, Demacia's focus went to other places:
"Wait... what? A brother was born while pregnant with you?"
A certain red-haired soldier looked confused.
Sophia glanced at him and frowned slightly:
"Lord Demacia."
"in!"
"Are you really an elf?"
"Of course, orthodox elves, purebred elves!"
"Then you don't even know that the gestation time of elves is three to five times that of humans?"
"Uh...huh? This..."
Demacia was stunned.
Sophia did not continue to dwell on this topic, but continued:
"After my mother and father got married, they were not happy."
"She was too cowardly and too kind. Until she died, she still endured the hostility around her, even for the sake of her father's image and prestige, even his father had to stop and persuade her to stand up for her..."
"So, from the day she died, I swear that I will never become a person like her, but to become a real strong person, whether it is soul... or strength."
"But now it seems that I still have a long, long way to go."
The young girl stretched out her hand, took out the necklace presented by the teacher, rubbing it in her hand, and sighed.
However, her eyes were brighter and firmer than ever before.
"You will succeed."
Looking at the girl's pious eyes, Demacia laughed.
"For your good words."
Sophia rarely made complaints.
Putting away the necklace that looked like a life scepter, the half-elf girl looked at a certain red-haired warrior again:
"Come on, what can I do?"
"I thought you didn't plan to ask anymore."
Demacia's expression was a little surprised.
Then, he put away some frivolous smile, and said seriously:
"Miss Sophia, Zeroland's rebellious nobles have also been arrested, what should I do?"
Not to mention, as long as the hairstyle is normal, the expression is normal, and the tone is normal, this guy still looks like a handsome guy. After all, the foundation for pinching his face is also good.
"Old rules."
Sophia replied without thinking.
"Trust me so?"
Demacia quickly couldn't help smiling.
It's just that it's okay not to laugh, it looks a little wretched when you laugh.
Mingming's face is still very handsome.
This... temperament is really a wonderful thing. Some people feel refreshed and natural when they laugh, while some people, even if they just smile happily, look like a mosaic in their minds. ...
Seeing Demacia's brilliant smile, Sophia frowned slightly and said:
"Instructor Lili told me that there is an old saying among the elves that the wicked have their own wickedness."
Demacia:...
He opened his mouth, admonishing himself not to get angry and to get angry with the woman.
"What else?"
Looking at the red-haired warrior who was still in place, the girl asked again.
"Um... Also, your brother named Carl was arrested, and he was just sent to the temple. In addition, Booto at the border was arrested and sent there too, yes, he All power has been lost."
Demacia scratched her head and said.
...
Zeroland, the temple.
Sophia, who got the news, quickly arrived here with Demacia and met her half-brother.
"Sophia! Sophia! For the sake of our brothers and sisters, spare my life! I am willing to give up the position of viscount, and at the same time give up the right of inheritance and claim! I am innocent, all the fault of Cthulhu! All Otto's Wrong! He persecuted me for everything!"
Carl, who was with the chains of the Forbidden Demon, cried.
Seeing the other person's embarrassed and spineless look, Sophia subconsciously wanted to be sarcasm, but in the end she didn't say "really no noble decentness" like in the past.
"I am not interested in the position of Viscount Zerolan. After this battle, General Maple Leaf has no nobles."
The girl spoke indifferently.
Carl was stunned.
"You... are you going to put all the nobles to death?!"
He was horrified and authentic.
Looking at the other's dazed and horrified gaze, the girl was too lazy to explain.
"Tell me, father's death... is it related to you?"
She asked patiently.
"No, no... I never thought of harming my father! Even if he doesn't like me! How could I murder my father! Sophia! My good sister... Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Carl said in horror.
Then, he pointed to the silent Otto who was aside:
"It's him! He cursed his father! He needs Zeroland's wealth~EbookFREE.me~ that's why he killed his father with a curse! I was also forced to surrender!"
Sophia did not respond to him, but glanced at the elf player on the side.
"Miss Sophia, [Lie Detection] shows that this time he is telling the truth, maybe some modifications have been made, but the whole is true."
The wizard player in charge of the prisoners said respectfully.
Sophia fell silent.
With a sigh, she said to Demacia again:
"Take him down, and deal with those nobles."
Demacia nodded, then smiled and gestured to the two elf players standing beside Karl.
The two elf players nodded, and quickly picked up Karl and walked outside.
Carl's expression changed drastically, his voice hoarse:
"No! Sophia! Lord Sophia! Let me go! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"
His voice is getting farther and farther and smaller...
After Carl was taken by the elves, Sophia looked at Otto again.
Her expression gradually became colder:
"Otto, as the culprit in this war, as the conspiracy behind my father's death, your sins, I can't wait to kill you right now!"
Otto glanced at her with a dull expression.
Sophia took a deep breath, calmed the anger in her heart, and continued:
"But... I think this can relax my mood, but this simple punishment is too light for the sins you committed."
"Because of you, how many families are broken in this war, and because of you, how many innocent lives have died in this war..."
"In that case... Give your fate to the people of Maple Leaf Collar!"
