The mountain road led by Akat is quite rugged.
Sitting in the slightly trembling carriage, looking at the setting sun in the distance, Roja couldn't help thinking like this.
It has been more than two hours since I left the village with Pamela. In addition to the official road, there are two mountain roads leading to the border Warren Mountains in the village. Shi Luoya chose the west side.
Driving when the sun sets is against common sense normally, but Charlotte brought Roja here to see the stars above the mountains, so it's fine to set off at dusk. It just makes Roja a little strange.
"Speaking of which we need to be in such a hurry? Didn't you mobilize the people in the village to go hunting on the eastern front? The money is given to the prey, so just don't need it?"
"Well, I wanted to have a bonfire banquet, but in winter there is not much fuel in the village, and I can't do it after thinking about it."
"Ah, that's true."
Luo Ya nodded suddenly, and then looked at Charlotte in amazement. He didn't expect this eldest lady to understand the people's livelihood well and consider it so meticulously.
"Originally I thought you were spoiled, it seems that you have a misunderstanding."
"It was when I was young, but it has changed since my father got a weird lamp."
Charlotte smiled bitterly when he recalled the incident a few years ago, while Roja sips while holding the tea cup and winks.
"light?"
"Well, probably four years ago, a strange requiem."
"Puff! Cough cough cough!"
At the moment when Charlotte heard the word Requiem lamp, the black-haired teenager drinking tea suddenly coughed. Charlotte saw this and hurriedly stroked Roja's back.
"Honey? Are you okay?"
"No, it's okay, hahaha, you continue to say, what happened to that lamp?"
"Oh, that requiem lamp is a treasure that my father received from unknown sources. Although it is a consumable item, the price of the requiem is quite low. It is probably a good sign from some family related to Sorovia, but I got it. Behind that lamp, my father's requirements for me suddenly became stricter..."
The girl who has had nowhere to tell for so many years looked at her lover and finally found someone to confide in, and said a little bit the grievances in her heart. From the chaotic land of Tansen to Shuangjiao Port, the difficulties along the way made Charlotte Often at a loss and had to grit his teeth.
Listening to the bitterness of the brown-red hair girl in the past few years, Roja could not help showing guilt on his face. Roja is very familiar with the requiem lamp. If he guessed correctly, Charlotte said it. That lamp should have been sold when he was short of money.
What he didn't expect was that the Requiem Lantern was actually acquired by Bruce, and it seemed to have greatly affected Bruce’s strategy for training his daughter. Roja naturally changed the trajectory of Charlotte’s life in this subtle way. Unexpectedly, but then there was a moment of fear.
Sure enough, the things in the system can't really be sold out. A requiem lamp has changed Charlotte's experience in the past few years. What about other things
Roja was secretly afraid on the side, but in Charlotte's eyes it became worried for her. Seeing this sweet smile, the girl decided to bring this topic.
"This mountain road is rough, my dear, how do you feel about your body?"
"Huh? Ah, it's okay, although there is basically no improvement, but the bumps are still bearable."
Roja was talking and feeling the tremor of the carriage. Normally, the carriages of the Sorovia family are shock-absorbing with both physics and extraordinary power. They usually drive on official roads and can't even feel that they are in the carriage. The tremor shows that the road conditions are quite bad, of course, there should be a reason why this is a small carriage.
The caravan of gem necklaces is too big to take when you go to see the stars on the mountain, so the two people changed to a small car. According to Roja’s observation, this should have been a single carriage, but now it’s not crowded with two people. , But there is no room left after sitting side by side.
As for why sitting side by side instead of sitting on the opposite side, that is naturally what Miss Charlotte meant. Roja has nothing to do with this, nor can he resist it.
Thinking of this, the carriage was a little bumpy again, Roja's already weak body couldn't help but sway, Charlotte saw this, his eyes lit up, pretending to inadvertently open his hands, and directly let the boy fall into her arms. .
"Huh? Honey?"
"Ah, yes, sorry."
Feeling the soft touch on the back of his head, Roja hurriedly wanted to get up, but what he didn't expect was that Charlotte stretched out his arms and hugged him in his arms.
"Since it's here, don't move. If one person can't sit still, just hold them together."
"...You, alas, forget it."
Looking at the playful smile on the face of the red-brown girl, Luo Ya sighed helplessly. After several days of personal experience, he has basically given up resisting.
The more you resist, the tighter you hug, the more you encounter, it is better to stay honestly.
So the carriage continued to move, Roja kept pretending to be dead, and Charlotte was happily poking the boy's cheeks to play. In this state where one person was paralyzed and the other person did what they wanted, the two finally came to a platform on a high mountain.
"Miss, what do you think of this place?"
"Well, yes, just choose here."
Charlotte glanced at the flat high platform and nodded. The accompanying staff immediately began to set a constant temperature and windproof curse nearby. The brown-red-haired girl looked at the distant mountains and silently calculated the time.
Tonight, I think there is enough time.
Caressing the boy's black hair, the eldest thought so. After a while, the servants opened the car door, and the two got out of the car and came to the platform next to the neatly arranged tables and chairs.
At this time, the sunset has completely fallen. Looking down from the high platform, the mountain roads and forests are already dark. In the Warren Mountains, which is completely free of modern light pollution, the original natural scenery is completely presented in Roya's eyes.
To be honest, it was the first time for Roja to be so close to nature in the wild environment. He also visited the great mountains and rivers of the motherland in the past, but the sensational head is always the most impressive thing in his memory.
After coming to Shiya, Roya lived in the relatively prosperous city of Acate. You can only experience camping when you take a carriage to the Holy Capital. The last time you saw the luminous butterfly in the Luman Forest was an experience. But there are too many people nearby, and the focus is not on the scenery.
The breeze filtered by the enchantment of the curse blows over the mountain, and when it hits Roja’s face, only a slight coolness is left. The black-haired boy first looked at the little village lights in the distance below and smiled, then He raised his head and looked to the sky.
"Stars, are there so many?"
When he saw the blooming stars in the sky, Roja couldn't help but his eyes widened slightly. Although the light source of Acate City at night is quite scarce, the real no-man's land above this mountain has a unique style. .
At this height, the stars in the sky seem to be closer to people, the faint stars are also brighter, and the overall observable number seems to be more than doubled. Under the vast sky and the bright stars, the breeze Luo Ya, who was brushing his face, suddenly felt the turbidity in his chest.
No wonder people like to recuperate in a beautiful natural environment, it is really effective.
Feeling a comfortable mood and relaxed body, Luo Ya couldn't help but smile, feeling that the excitement of this trip has indeed come.
"It's really nice to be able to come and take a look at the starry sky like this."
"Yeah, I knew my dear would like it."
"The natural scenery is really amazing. Compared with the Luman Forest of the Austin Empire, the night sky here is beautiful enough without luminous butterflies."
Roya sighed, thinking that this is the Akats led by the ruler, I felt light on his face, but unfortunately, even with such a beautiful scenery, it is difficult to develop into a scenic spot in this era, because in the current Xiya, natural The scenery is still not a scenic spot.
As the saying goes, things are precious. When humans have not yet explored nature, natural attractions can be said to be everywhere. It is not uncommon. On the contrary, man-made objects can attract more people to visit. The situation is quite the opposite.
Luo Ya, who thought of this place, shook his head regretfully, and then softly thanked the girl behind him.
"Charlotte, thank you, I'm much better."
"That's good, as long as you like, we can come often in the future."
"Do you come often...I'm afraid it will be a little difficult. I've been out for so many days this time. I'm afraid I will be busy for a while when I go back."
The black-haired boy looked at the sky and smiled bitterly. It has been five days since he left Acate City without saying goodbye. Since there is no guard, Anna and others will definitely be worried. I am afraid that it is almost reaching the limit. On the other hand, Roja's heart-felt love Lisa is also coming back.
This time Alisa left alone for half a month, which made Roja quite uncomfortable. He and Alisa have basically been inseparable for so many years, and it has never been before that they have not seen each other for so long.
The black-haired boy was thinking about the next schedule and arrangements, while the brown-red haired girl was preparing on the side. She looked up at the stars in the distance, and suddenly asked the lover next to her:
"My dear, if I do something wrong, will you forgive me?"
"Huh? Did you do something wrong? What did you do wrong?"
"..."
Facing Roja's questioning, Charlotte closed his mouth and was silent. The black-haired boy was taken aback when he saw this, he thought for a while, and slowly spoke.
"For you, I don't think you can do too much wrong, but if you do, as long as you are willing to make up for your mistake, I will probably forgive it."
"... Yes, I will make up for it, dear."
The red-brown-haired girl squeezed Loya's hand and said as promised. The next moment, the teenager's brain suddenly sank, and sleepiness surged.
"Hey? Wait, this is curse power..."
Loya found himself under the spell and fell into a deep sleep before he finished speaking. Charlotte stepped forward and hugged the boy, whispering softly:
"Good night, dear."
