Chapter 690 Past and Punishment(1/2)

Maple Leaf Collar, Zeroland.

Sophia walked on the familiar street, with the cheers of citizens on both sides of the road.

The white smoke ignited during the siege can be seen vaguely everywhere in the city, which is the natural situation after the fire is put out.

The weather is a bit cold today. It rained for a while in the morning, washing away the blood after the battle and the burnt smell of the house after the burn, leaving only a full smell of the mud after spring.

The roads in the city are still wet now, and many roads in the civilian area have even turned into mud. If Sophia hadn't riding a unicorn, her legs and feet might have been wrapped in mud and water.

There is no way, even if it is the surplus maple leaves that lead the pearl of Zeroland, the roads that have timely maintenance in municipal areas are only rich areas and main roads. In a slightly farther and remote place, the nobles are always too lazy to care about it.

It would be nice if it rained heavily. After all, the drainage system in the city has not been updated for hundreds of years. The inner city is not bad. Later, the expansion of the outer city did not even dig the drainage sewers.

Sophia, who had never left the castle, didn't know about these things, but paying attention to these details at this moment once again deepened her belief in herself.

The empire has been corrupt and the nobles have fallen.

You should never expect these high-ranking guys to have real concern for civilians.

Even if there is one, it is just to protect one's own "property".

In the eyes of many nobles, it is far better to train or recruit a few powerful professionals to give preferential treatment to the public.

After all, in this extraordinary world, as long as you master this powerful enough power, even if you are 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 improve productivity, truly utilize extraordinary power efficiently, and it is even more impossible to truly create a world where everyone can live happily and have hope for the future.

But now it's different.

The magical improvement of the world of Seges was an opportunity, the rebellious border borough was also a prelude to the original aristocracy, and the emergence of the Church of Life was like a lighthouse in the dark.

Seeing the wealth of the Elf Forest and the beauty of the Elf 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 allowing the leaders to truly free themselves from the rule of the nobles and awaken their thoughts can they truly change everything.

Thinking of this, the girl sighed softly.

She raised her head and looked at the blue sky.

The sky is as clear and transparent as if it has been washed, while the sun after the rain is much softer than ever. The warm sunlight shines obliquely on the earth, faintly outlining a curved rainbow in the air, as if it is also celebrating the liberation of the city.

Well...liberation.

This is the word for the elves. They told Sophia that the word means "release the bondage, get freedom or develop", and they are the elves PLA sent by the goddess to the Maple Leaf Leader.

Sophia thinks it is appropriate to use it here.

Passing by the temple in the city, it has been occupied by the elves who have taken the lead.

They are moving out the statue of the god of dusk and sunset, and welcome the statue of the god under Eve's crown into the cheers of the citizens "praise the goddess".

There are many believers of life gathering around the temple. They are spontaneously kneeling down to the temple, praying and expressing gratitude...

These people were just unbelievers or believers of evil gods who were forced to convert to their beliefs yesterday.

And Sophia also understands the reason why they are so fanatic.

That was the miracle of yesterday's siege.

The horror of the palm of the evil god has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with the battle of the imperial army being completely destroyed. If the goddess had not taken the action, Zeroland would have been destroyed by the meteorite rain that filled the sky yesterday.

Even Sophia was trembling at that time when the terrifying fireball scattered by the hideous evil god.

Of course, Sophia believes that this change in faith will not last. After all, the people’s current starting point is just gratitude and fear of the evil gods.

But the girl firmly believes that if people learn the teachings of the goddess and truly understand the essence of the "Sacred Book of Life", they will definitely become a fanatical believer of the goddess from the bottom of their hearts.

After all...the people are not stupid.

They just lack a guiding light, a powerful belief that can truly enter their hearts and resonate with them from the heart.

And now, there is already.

Amid the cheers of citizens, the statue of the god of dusk and sunset was pushed to the ground.

Looking at the already broken statue of the god, Sophia's eyes flashed slightly.

A hint of surprise flashed in her expression, but there was also consciousness and joy in surprise, and at the same time there was a hint of fanaticism and sincerity...

The statues that can be worshipped in the temple are by no means ordinary statues, and must have been blessed by the power of faith.

And if such a god statue was not attacked by a group of ordinary people, it would never be broken into pieces if it was just pushed to the ground by a group of ordinary people.

The temple cracked and lost its luster. Even someone spitted on the statue without any reaction. That only means one thing-

The myth represented by the statue of God has fallen.

"Praise you, the great crown of Eve."

"You are the light in the darkness, you are the justice that eliminates evil in the world, you are the host 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 with respect.

Crossing the temple where the crowd gathered, Sophia continued to move forward.

She entered the familiar rich area, entered the familiar lord castle, and finally arrived at the familiar castle hall.

The decorations in the castle were no different from when she left a few months ago, everything seemed to be yesterday.

Looking at the lord chair covered with white bear skin, Sophia's gaze was a little dazed.

She seemed to see her father sitting on a chair again and telling herself the stories outside. She seemed to see herself accidentally breaking her father's most beloved magic lamp here and being scolded by her mother.

Mother……

Thinking of this word, a beautiful figure suddenly flashed through Sophia's mind.

"Mother..."

The girl sighed softly.

How long has it been since I said this word?

Maybe it starts from the day she dies...

If that person is still alive now, will everything that happened before not happening again?

If that person is alive now, can she no longer have to live so humblely and can also gain her own happiness?

Unfortunately, there is no if.

"What are you thinking?"

Just as Sophia was thinking a lot, a familiar voice broke the silence in the hall.

The girl did not look back, but subconsciously changed from emotion to indifference, sighing:

"His Excellency Demacia, knocking on the door before entering the room is the most basic virtue. Please do not lower the average qualities of the elves."

Demacia:...

A certain red-haired warrior had a little depressed expression.

However, just when he thought the half-elf girl was going to continue to harm him, he heard the other party sigh:

"I'm thinking of my mother..."

"Mother?"

Demacia's heart moved.

Sophia nodded slightly, reached out to touch the soft fur on the lord's seat, and said:

"She is an elf her father saved from a slave trader and fell in love with her father at first sight."

"In the end, despite the opposition of the family and the resistance of the nobles, my father married her as his wife..."

"But even if my father, who was blessed as the first heir to Viscount Zeroland, would be under tremendous pressure to marry an elf. After all... For the nobles, elves are only suitable as playthings and as tools to improve bloodline descendants."

"It is precisely because of this that the family plotted against my father when my mother was pregnant with me, and let her invade a baron lady from a side branch after drinking, and gave birth to my useless brother..."

"Now, after my father passed away, the people in the family insisted on supporting Carl as the lord regardless of the will he left. I'm afraid there is also my bloodline."

"Elf can improve the bloodline of the side branches, and intermarriage between the side branches and the main branches can further improve the quality of the descendants of the main branches, but directly make the descendants of the elves the orthodox heirs... Those arrogant and decadent guys may find it difficult to agree."

"It was not until I met Duke Rosen that I finally figured out this truth."

The girl said to herself.

However, after listening to her, Demacia's focus went to other places:

"Wait...what? Is my brother born when I was pregnant with you?"

A certain red-haired warrior looked confused.

Sophia glanced at him and frowned slightly:

"His Excellency Demacia."

"exist!"
To be continued...
