Chapter 156 Re-Burning Dreams

After a warm night, Charan Lotte gradually integrated into this warm camp and started a simple and stable life.

"I need a lot of wood to build a house recently. Can I trouble Lottie?"

In the morning, after Lottie finished breakfast, the uncle came over and looked a little embarrassed when he looked at him touching his head. After all, he asked a girl to help with this kind of work.

But there are not many extraordinary people in the camp now, and most of them also have tasks at hand, so Lottie is relatively free now.

"It's alright, but I don't know what those trees can be used for, and I don't know how to deal with them."

"It's simple, let Nika follow you. She has seen us do it before and knows the general process. If there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me."

"Okay." Lottie nodded, and then the uncle found her another axe.

After a while, Nika trotted over, said hello to Lottie, and then the two walked towards the side of the mountain.

During this period, the little girl also brought a basket, picking plants that might be useful along the way, some acorns, some wild vegetables, some herbs, mushrooms and the like.

"You can't come back empty-handed, it's so embarrassing, hee-" She grimaced as she replied to Lottie's words, and then jumped ahead to lead the way.

The air in the mountains is very fresh, and the light green shade and mottled sunlight embellish the undulating stones and trees, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort.

The blades of grass at her feet were cutting Lottie's calf and it was slightly itchy. She swung her sword from time to time to cut off some obstacles, and then she walked a little easier, and the broken blades of grass scattered among them, exuding a kind of Herbal juice flavor.

"It's here." Nika stopped, then pointed to the cedar tree not far in front of her.

Looking at the huge tree that the three of them hugged together, Lottie nodded slightly. No wonder the uncle asked himself to help. If a mortal was to cut down such a tree, it would be very laborious.

She took the axe and turned the extraordinary core in her body. The ordinary axe blade gradually received the glow of magic power, and then swung it down heavily, slashing into the depths of the tree with a bang.

"It's too hard, Sister Lottie." Nika shook her head as the axe got stuck in the wood.

"It will hurt a lot, and it's not easy to pull out the axe." Then she talked about some tricks.

"Don't use all your strength, maybe seven or eight points of force is enough, just cut some more small holes, and then slowly expand them."

"Okay." Lottie also felt that this was really not right, so she slowly changed it.

After that, a white circle gradually appeared on the brown-black trunk. Lotti kept swinging his axe, gradually widening the gap, and pieces of chopped wood were scattered around.

"Take a break." Nika came over, wiped off Lottie's sweat, and then walked over to look at the gap.

She brushed her hand across the pale and white tree, and from the injury came the rough touch of the wood thorn, which was also mixed with moist water vapor.

After Nika's suggestion, Lottie focused on cutting one side, and finally with a little force, the tree slowly bent and fell down.

The canopy and branches and leaves were overwhelmed on the surrounding ground and plants, and the large dark green leaves swayed and made a squeaking sound. At this time, Lottie was also relieved.

"How about it, isn't it a sense of accomplishment?" Nika smiled.

"Sister Lottie's first logging was a great success~." She smiled and gave a thumbs up, and then tried to carve small characters on the broken part of the tree.

"You have to remember it well. If you build a house with the wood of this tree in the future, you must also write down who cut it down. After all, it took a lot of effort." She squatted there, then picked up the knife and crooked Written slantedly.

After a while, the girl stood up and patted her clothes.

Looking at the sun above the head, which is gradually reaching the mid-heaven, the time has passed noon unknowingly.

"Let's rest for a while, let's have something to eat." After speaking, Nicola sat on the branches of the fallen tree with Lottie, and then took out the dry food wrapped at the bottom of the basket.

"Noon is relatively simple, and dinner is delicious."

After the two chatted, Lottie listened curiously to Nika's interesting stories about her daily life, such as what crops are better to grow, the wild deer she saw when herding sheep, how to fish with lights at night, and how to pick up cicada sloughs in summer, Those wild fruits can be eaten directly, etc.

For Lottie, who grew up in castles and palaces, all of this was so fresh and interesting that she seemed to see another world, a life experience that was completely different from the nobles, and from the commoners in small towns and cities.

It turns out that there is such an existence.

The world is so vast and colorful, is it too limited by what I thought before?

After lunch, the two rested against the trees for a while, and then felled two large trees in the afternoon before preparing to return.

"Sure enough, Sister Lottie is smart. Once she learns it, she will be much faster in the afternoon." Nika said about the afternoon.

"Actually, it's just taking advantage of the physique of the extraordinary." Lottie said a little embarrassedly. This is also the rare time she has been praised in these days, and she feels warm in her heart.

"So humble." Nika pouted, wanting to say something, but she didn't feel comfortable saying anything.

"Actually, Sister Lottie is very powerful, stronger than many brothers.

It's awesome. "

"Why are you afraid of other people's praise? If I have the strength of Sister Lottie, I will be very happy every day."

"This..." Charan Lotte was speechless for a while, saying when did she look like this.

When the Baska family was still around, I was the kind of person who would say thank you frankly when receiving compliments, but why do I feel guilty now?

Perhaps it is to find that he is actually very weak and powerless.

She closed her eyes slightly and recalled the experience of the past year. She was always saved by others, always helped by others, and always relied on the sacrifices of others to keep herself alive again and again.

So, what else do I have to be proud of? It's just Yu Ze, who has some ancestors, and has a resounding name.

"Actually, if Nika had been practising since childhood, she could have reached such a level. I'm just lucky." She said what she thought.

"But no, I don't like the person who always said if Ruo, hmph." Nika was a little unhappy.

"Brother Tewen is like this. He always says that he is underappreciated. If he was from a better background, or if he had money and power, he would have done something."

"I hate people who say they will be what they are, as if their failures and misfortunes are the fault of others, and they are all because they are not lucky enough."

"If I had an apple, I would definitely eat it happily, instead of saying it there, it's just that I'm lucky, I have an apple, and no one else has it. I shouldn't have it, so I should be ashamed and not happy. "

"It's really awkward for such a person." Nika turned around in front and said with wide eyes.

"If you have it, you will have it. If you have it, you will be happy. If you don't have it, you won't have it. It's good to look for it again. Why are you unhappy all day long, or you are so arrogant and disgusting."

"However, if this apple should actually belong to someone else." Lottie stroked the hair on the side of her ear and looked down at the road under her feet.

"How could it be someone else's? Could it be stolen? That's really not good."

"It's not a robbery, it's just... It's just that at that time, everyone gave me a little more. Logically speaking, it was actually unfair, but no one realized it." Lottie bit her lip.

"Is that so..." Nika walked forward.

"It feels like Sister Lottie has a lot of things hidden in her heart. I'm a child, and I don't know much about many things. But if that's the case, then it's good to go back."

"But how can this be..." Lottie wanted to shake her head and finish her sentence, but gradually her voice became smaller.

Are you going back, will it be a little late, after all, everyone no longer believes me, and... and... and many people have died, she silently remembered those faces in her heart.

"Is it difficult, well, maybe I'm thinking too simply. I'm sorry, Sister Lottie." Nika felt as if she had said the wrong thing. Well, obviously my mother taught me not to judge other people's thoughts at will, after all Have not personally experienced it.

"It's nothing, maybe you're right." Lottie looked at the gradually sinking sunset, the warm red afterglow sprinkled all over the mountains, and occasionally a bird chirped in the forest, and curls rose from the camp at the foot of the mountain. of cooking smoke.

It's such a beautiful place, she seemed to be emotional.

"It's good, hehe." Seeing Lottie stop to look at the scenery, Nika also came over.

"I really like it here. It doesn't have the troubles in the city. It feels so relaxing. It would be nice if it was like this all the time." She raised one foot and spun on the flat slate, and a happy voice came.

"Yes, there will be such a life, in fact, I like it very much." Lottie, that is, Charan Lotte, looked at the mountains and muttered to herself.

A week later, the aerial knight who rode the phoenix finally woke up.

Charanlot helped her sit up in the newly built wooden house and brought her a glass of water.

"Feel better?"

"It's better, thank you sir." The purple-haired woman drank water and looked around for a while before asking about the situation.

"Where have we been?"

"This is Lenghu Province, which is the mountain forest in the middle of the empire near the southern border. We are in a hidden camp. Don't worry, there are no empire's legions around."

Charanlot sat lightly beside the woman and slowly recounted her experience along the way.

"It's really a blessing from the gods." After listening to this, the female knight was also deeply grateful, and then she told her identity.

"Hello, Mrs. Charanlot, my name is Phines, and I come from a secret guardian clan." After speaking, she groped and took out a pendant on her chest, which contained a black phoenix's coat of arms.

On the pitch-black ground, the crater was about to erupt, and one of the flamingos leaped out of it, lifelike. This coat of arms is very delicate, and when Charanlot touches a little, he can feel a kind of intimacy. of warmth.

"My ancestors received the great favor of the Baska family, so they swore to protect the descendants of the Baska family in the dark. In times of peace, we generally do not have contact with the Baska family. Only in times of crisis will we show up. . This way you can avoid being targeted."

After listening to Fenice's story, Sharanrot understood what happened hundreds of years ago, when the Baska family conquered the dragons in the southern region and saved the dying phoenix family. At that time, the phoenix clan and the red dragon clan were fighting with each other, but because the number was far less than each other, they gradually fell to the downwind, and the crater used for hatching the larvae was also large.

It is more and more occupied by red dragons, and it is more and more difficult to reproduce offspring.

"It was also at that time that the Baska family specially opened up a hidden volcanic territory, and let our ancestors guard there and take care of the weak phoenix."

"In order to avoid suspicion, we were not given aristocratic status, but given a lot of help and protection, we were able to gradually multiply and live there."

Phines talked about her childhood life, living in isolated mountain villages, practicing extraordinary skills according to the instructions of her parents, and getting close to the newborn phoenix larvae.

"So that's the case." After listening to this, Charan Lotte realized that it turned out that the Baska family had left behind so many backers.

Perhaps the ancestors had also considered a lot, such as the fall of the family, the rebellion, the decline of the empire, etc., and to reserve as much as possible for their descendants.

"Actually, the ancestors of the Baska family once originated in the middle of the empire, and they also buried a lot of treasures in the past fiefs, which can be used in times of crisis in the future." Phoenix explained why the phoenix would bring the two with them. The reason to fly to the middle of the empire, not south.

"If the eldest miss needs, I can take you to the hidden treasure of the Baska family, where you can obtain resources for a comeback."

"Have you been there before?"

"No, but because of the guidance of a pendant and your bloodline, you can unlock the seal." Phoenix explained.

"Is that so." Xialanrot did not agree immediately, but walked lightly to the window and looked at the busy and harmonious little village outside.

It's something they've just established recently, and Lottie has been involved in a lot of it.

"Fenise, I believe in your loyalty and know that you are willing to give everything for me, but I am hesitant."

"What is the purpose of the comeback, just to let my descendants continue to live that luxurious life?"

"If it was before, I might agree."

"But I've been through so many things and seen so many sad scenes since the Baska family fell apart."

"Mother, elder sister, Ewinie, Gersmee, dragon knight, dragon of evil thoughts, they all fell down in front of me one by one, some of them dying, some in pain."

"Is it just for such a reason? It's really ridiculous." She turned around with a sad but sad smile on her face.

"Actually, I don't care whether I can survive or not, or rather, it is because I am alive that so many conflicts and grief arise." The girl pressed her chest lightly with one hand, and closed her eyes with fluttering eyelashes.

"I'm tired of being saved, it makes me feel pain and guilt."

"Good wishes from hundreds of years ago have resulted in a bad and bad situation today."

"I wanted to jump out of the vortex of revenge, but found that those sins and karma had already entangled me."

"Like a curse, let me gradually walk on this path of no return."

"But is this really the future I want to see?"

"Kill all the enemies, execute all those who have persecuted our family, and then live happily?"

"No, there is no such happiness anymore."

"A pain is a pain, it will never heal, and the dead will never come back."

The woman stared blankly at the girl who was struggling in pain and couldn't help but speak.

"Then what kind of future do you want to embrace? If possible, I am willing to follow it for the rest of my life, because this is the oath and agreement made a hundred years ago."

Charan Lotte slowly approached, looking at the loyal knight in front of him, those eyes gradually approached, and a brand new flame seemed to be burning in them.

"I have to make up for the mistakes made by my predecessors and cut off all this sadness."

"If it was the Baska family who brought grief and pain to this land, then I will repay with singing and blood and tears."

"I will do what I have, be it wisdom, wealth, blood, tears, name or everything, to end this sad reign and let everyone live a happy and stable life."

"Ordinary life inspired me to know that life has a completely different trajectory."

"I don't necessarily have to restore the Baska family, or even defeat all the enemies."

"I don't know exactly where the empire came from, but now I see a small village built."

"It's so simple and unpretentious, it gives me so much peace of mind."

"Small villages gather together and gradually form towns. Towns converge to form cities, and cities dot the earth, and finally form a vast country."

"The most complex things are also made up of extremely basic things."

"I don't know how to build a perfect country, but I think if there are more peaceful villages like this, and everyone gets along fairly and harmoniously, then we can usher in a bright future."

"In this way, the mistakes that the family has committed can be slightly made up, and I can also gain the peace of mind that I haven't seen for a long time."

"So, are you willing to join me in changing this rotten and depraved land? Burn all the old faults, build a new kingdom, and embark on this path like purgatory."

"I am willing to follow your will until the red heart stops beating." The knight pressed his chest with one hand and knelt halfway, making an unchanging oath just like the ancient murals.
