The night was long and the road was long, and Cesare only remembered that night Anya told a lot about her childhood adventures. From the woods to the rivers to the towns and villages, there are giants as tall as mountains, dwarves the size of shoes, and flying elves. Many times she forgets the settings she made up before, and the elves are sometimes white, sometimes black, and they talk nonsense to the end when they don't even believe themselves, and they amuse themselves. made up her so-called personal experiences, and hypnotized herself first when she talked about it. Anya spoke of the little weirdos who lived in the turtle shell, and her voice became quieter and quieter, and gradually she fell on her side on the bench. "And then... Then I ...... "Anya's upper and lower eyelids struggled for a moment, and then the thick sleepiness still took away her consciousness, leaving only another story with no ending, but Cesare didn't bother to listen to it from the beginning." Looking at Anya's sleeping face, she is usually crazy when she wakes up, and when she falls asleep, she is no different from an ordinary girl, and her quiet face looks strange. Anya's eyelashes trembled slightly, the corners of her mouth gently upturned to reveal the arc of a smile, and the faint snoring sound brought by the gentle breathing seemed to be brought into the girl's dream. Cesare took off his black cloak and gently draped it over Anya's body, and quickly fell asleep on the bench on his side, considering that the journey was still long. Unexpectedly, there were no nightmares tonight, and I slept very deeply and soundly. From the territory of the Duke of Orsini, he traveled all the way west to the county of Hunyadi, which is said to have migrated from the north a long time ago as a foreign family that had migrated from the north and had been a lord in the old days. But at that time, I don't know why, whether it was involved in political struggles, or the territory suffered a natural disaster, which caused the family to be unable to continue, so it could only migrate southwest, all the way to the territory of the current Papal States to settle down. After that, it has gone through a long period of multiplication, and in this era, the current head of the family has cooperated with the pope to an unknown person, mysteriously gaining the full support of the pope and obtaining a large family domain, which is one of the reasons for many rumors later. No one knows what kind of contribution a foreign family has made to achieve this achievement, and this vast land is inexplicably sparsely populated, and the merchants or travelers who pass through it are sometimes in a trance. Whenever someone asks about the farmers who moved out of Hunyadi territory, the answers are always vague and unpredictable, which makes the rumors in the area more and more and more in the whole Hunyaldi family. The trees in the forest are very dense, and the branches stretch out towards the sky, like a pair of arms, and stretch towards the abode of the gods. The humid air mingled with the smell of decaying vegetation, and the lingering mist lingered low in the air, constantly wrapping around the carriage. The roads, which had been rarely passed by for many years, had become overgrown with weeds, and now they were only like roads for wild beasts, and when the carriages drove on them, they would inevitably stumble and stagger. Cesare woke up early, and when he returned to Hunyati, he did not feel familiar with home, but rather unfamiliar with the dangerous environment here. At this time, Anya was lying on her back on the bench, and due to the lack of space in the carriage, the girl could only lift her legs up on the top of the door, twisting a branch that she didn't know where to pick up with both hands, and she was bored and had already tied dozens of knots on it. After some time, the crow of crows sounded outside the carriage, and Cesare was about to look out the window when the carriage suddenly shook and shook with a sudden brake, and Anya fell off the bench with a scream. After Anya got up, she directly pushed open the car door and complained to the driver in front of her: "Uncle! Let's talk about parking first, there's no need to be so vindictive, right? "It's here, get out of the car." The coachman kept as calm as he could, with a subtle tremor in his voice. Anya looked back at Cesare with some doubts, and Cesare estimated the distance in his heart, although he had entered the Hunyatt territory, but he was still a long way from the earl's castle, but after thinking about it, he still got out of the carriage with Anya. The air in the forest is still much fresher than in the city of Karlliu, and after sitting in the carriage for a long time, the joints on the body are a little numb, and the two of them got out of the carriage and stretched their limbs to their heart's content before gradually regaining their sense of relaxation. Cesare walked to the front of the car and looked at the old coachman's face, exhausted from his severely sleepless face, and the driver's hand seemed to tremble as if it were a little trembling as he tugged at the reins for some reason, whether it was due to exertion or other reasons. "Sir, I understand that you are tired, but if you can take us a little further west after resting, I can provide you with some extra fare." Cesare asked tentatively, but as soon as he finished speaking, the coachman immediately refused, as if he had lost his temper. "No, no, no, don't even think about it, no matter who you give me money, I will never go any deeper." As he spoke, the driver pointed straight ahead of the road. "See, there is a small town ahead, you go there and find another carriage, and with a good conscience, if you have to go deeper, it is better to hurry during the day." Listening to the driver's tone and looking at his eyes that seemed to be palpitating, Cesare had a vague feeling as if the coachman had such a great reaction when they were resting in the carriage. Seeing that there was no longer a negotiable, Cesare thanked the coachman, watched as the carriage turned around the forest with difficulty, and returned the way he had come without a moment's rest. Anya walked up to Cesare's side. "Don't worry, you still have me." "I hope that's a good thing." Cesare shook his head and walked in the direction the coachman had just pointed. Fortunately, the driver did not lie, and the road became wider and wider in less than half an hour, and the surrounding trees clearly showed signs of being cut down. Facing the front, a large open space has obviously been artificially mined, and in that clearing, I have seen buildings that have been lived in for the first time in a long time. The town's buildings were almost entirely made of stone and wood, and there were a few rudimentary sentry posts on the edge of the town, but they were long unmanned, and even half of them had collapsed, which gave Cesare a bad feeling in his mind. Walking further inside, I found that the scale of the town was not large, and the structure of the houses was very primitive and rudimentary, the highest was only a two-story building, and some ruins were no longer inhabitable. The town is no more than a few dozen homes at best, but strangely enough lizards can be seen crawling through the quaint streets. Both the walls of the house and the stone bricks of the pavement are badly dilapidated and emit an unpleasant smell. Occasionally, the garden between the houses was overgrown with thorns and vines wrapped around the broken eaves, and the rotten wood and dead grass undoubtedly told outsiders that the place had been abandoned. Cesare led Anya along the streets of the town, and it wasn't long before he came to the central square of the town, which was said to be a square, but it was only the size of a classroom at St. Calliu's College. In the middle of the square was a stone fountain building, the water in which had dried up and only a layer of moss remained, and the humanoid stone sculpture above the fountain seemed to have been destroyed by something, leaving only the barefoot shape of a pair of children at the bottom. "What do you think he originally carved?" Anya looked at the broken statue and asked inappropriately, but Cesare naturally did not respond to her. Looking around left and right, Anya cleared her throat and put her hands to her lips and shouted loudly to the buildings around her. "Are there any living people? I am hungry! Can you give me a meal? Anya's voice traveled far away, but there was no response except for the distant chirping of crows, and as she took a deep breath to try again, Cesare suddenly turned around and made a quiet gesture to her. "Someone is peeking at us." Cesare said in an extremely low voice. "There are three barrels next to the first collapsed house on your right, don't move too much, that guy hasn't even realized he's been exposed." Anya looked in that direction, and sure enough, she saw a short figure with a cat's waist hiding obscenely behind the barrel, observing herself and Cesare through the hole between the barrels. Anya's eyes rolled in her sockets, and she suddenly grabbed Cesare's sleeve. "Come with me, I've figured out a solution." Before Cesare could react, Anya dragged him in the opposite direction of the peepers, and Cesare reluctantly complained. "Didn't I tell you to move smaller?" But Anya didn't listen at all, and soon ran out of the square with Cesare with a wide view, and the peep saw that he was about to lose the two of them, and hurriedly chased after them. The guy obviously had some inconvenience in his legs and feet, and he couldn't keep up with the speed of the two children at all, and even chased and dodged for a short distance, and soon collapsed against the wall from exhaustion, watching Cesare and Anya run around a corner, and really couldn't catch up anymore. Just as the man was about to give up and leave, the sound of squirming footsteps came from the low eaves behind him, and he turned around and looked up sharply. Cesare and Anya had gone around behind her in a short time, jumping down from the eaves, so frightened that the man sat directly into the mud, and at the first moment Anya drew his saber and pointed it at the other's throat.
