Parallel Army - The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 36 Sophia's Past, Part 1
After returning to the Kingdom of Nevis, it took half a week for the group to reach an abandoned mine tunnel at the end of the passage. This was probably abandoned after the associated fine gold mines were excavated.
Depleted pyrite veins.
It seems that the rumors are true. There is no doubt that someone has passed through the underground palace and arrived here. As long as there is no ambush, it doesn't matter whether the rumors were spread intentionally or accidentally.
A group of people who went straight to the ground used the power of the escort to move the rocks blocking the mine. When they returned to the ground, the long-lost light made a few people's eyes uncomfortable.
There was still an endless barren plain outside, and Karin could still see the Royal Army camp across the valley.
It took Sofia ten minutes to direct the soldiers to move back the rocks blocking the exit.
After that, because she had calculated the time to leave, Sofia did not expect that there would be rain that would delay the trip. She ran out of food halfway and could only eat wild fruits. After eating sour fruits for two days, she reluctantly arrived at a village.
It seems that the arrival of a group of people made some xenophobic villagers plan to report it. Maybe they were afraid of angering these big men in the escort team who seemed to be untouchable, but these villagers did not show it directly. Not to mention accommodation, even buying food might be in trouble.
Sofia wanted to get in touch with the villagers who were not repulsive towards the group of people in this village first, and by the way find out about the situation here and why some villagers were so repulsive to outsiders. But Carlin still planned to try to replenish some food in this village.
.
Not long after he entered the village, he saw a hungry beggar child with a sallow complexion. He moved his hands and feet to Zate's bag that looked bulging but actually contained nothing.
"Ah, be careful." Carlin chose to grab the bag first. The child missed it and hurriedly tried to run away. Carlin didn't care and let him go.
"Yeah. But that, kid... there's no food in this." Zate put away the bag.
"Is it an individual behavior or is it the whole village..." Karin murmured.
"Maybe this village is very poor." Zate felt a little confused.
"I don't know." Sophia shook her head. Since the child has run away, she will continue to implement the original plan.
"It might be troublesome to replenish food. We'd better not stay too long." Carlin no longer thought about this matter.
"Yeah." Zate also nodded, but actually didn't understand anything.
"It's a bit of a headache. Now we only have a little more than fifteen Lindsay left, so I'll just keep it in mind when I buy it." Sophia hasn't been in charge of money for a long time and is not confident.
There is a White Emperor's Capital about two hundred miles away, which is a huge mobile city controlled by the Severn family.
Even if they claim to be like this, the royal family of Nevis don't dare to say anything. Everyone in this land is afraid of those lunatics whose surname is Serven, including people from that city whose surname is not Serven.
But when they get along with each other, Moengnan's character is just weird, so Sofia and Carlin can't quite understand what Moengnan said.
Maybe that person from the Severn family recognized the wrong person at that time. Mo Nan didn't look like that person from the Severn family. Sophia thought so at the time. Carlin didn't feel anything. He just hoped to travel safely and complete the mission.
In any case, the road had to continue. Sophia spent as much as three linseys to buy food twice the market price, which was enough to support the group to reach a larger city.
Karin noticed that when the villagers mentioned the people coming from the White Emperor's Capital, the more radical villagers thought that they were a group of people. After asking for directions, he asked Sophia if she wanted to set off. After all, if you stop moving forward, you will be dragged down sooner or later.
After resting for a long time, Sophia asked Zate to check his belongings before leaving. Fortunately, they were not missing, so the group continued to set off.
They started their journey again, and not long after walking, the three of them saw a steel fortress in the distance, but according to the rough map in their memory, it should still take several days to get there.
"Based on the distance, the one in front is not our destination, right?" Karin said.
First of all, Sofia has never seen such a city with pure metal walls, and this location should be an open space on the map. If this is the so-called White Emperor's capital, all the unreasonable places will become reasonable.
"But I mentioned before that the White Emperor City can move. Is it coming here?" Carlin thought for a while and said it before Sofia answered. The group's original plan was to go to the distance from the capital marked on the map.
It's just a relatively nearby ordinary city.
"That is indeed not our original destination, but this is the first time I have encountered such a city. And it is a city made of pure metal walls that can also be moved. I kind of want to go there and see what it really looks like." Sophia
Her eyes seemed to be sparkling. She was calculating the remaining supplies and whether the route to her next destination would be close to that city.
Of course, the current supplies are enough to go to the original destination. It is enough to go around and reach the city controlled by the ordinary regular army. It is also enough to pass through the mobile city and then go to the original destination.
"How about we go and have a look. Our previous 'supplies' were a bit hasty, and I always feel that there are some shortcomings." If there is an opportunity to travel to such a technological city, Carlin will definitely go with the flow. "I just don't know how to proceed."
Do you have to go?”
"Well, I also have such a plan. If we really can't enter, let's leave."
Since a detour is enough to reach the original destination, even if the White Emperor's Capital is on the route for her group to go, even if they can't enter it, the group's supplies will not be insufficient to reach that ordinary city. Sophia planned this
Looking at the steel city in the distance, she was full of expectations. Maybe she could get rid of the batch of diamonds there and buy some unique local books.
Zate expressed her willingness to accept these arrangements. After all, the series of things she had seen recently had opened her eyes.
Now that he had decided, Carlin set off towards that city. Sofia ordered to continue on the original route and head towards that city.
Before arriving at the city gate, the group saw that the city gate only had two pieces of floating armor with sharp edges and corners that were completely inconsistent with the streamlined shape. The waist of this thing was too slender and did not look like a human being, and these armors were the same color as the city wall.
Pitch black.
The city is smaller in total area than Lamesa, but the buildings are taller.
Sophia compared those armors with the golems she met in the Great Rift Valley. "It's such handsome armor. I wonder if a person can wear it." But when she got there and actually measured it, she estimated that a person with this kind of armor would definitely wear it.
It's unwearable, which is disappointing.
We must enter. When Karin approached, he looked at the armor to see if there was any reaction. Sophia prepared the relevant documents in the last sentence and planned to enter the city.
"The experimental derivative of Zero-1-7-3-7 has been discovered, and the containment has begun. The target has been detected to have a gentle temperament. Plan E will be implemented. Please do not resist." Carlin was fine in the past, but when Sophia approached, two black armor gauntlets pierced the light yellow parts.
The light blade aimed at her in the form of a threat rather than a direct attack and began to float and move quickly. At the same time, the big men in the escort raised their weapons and prepared to protect their eldest sister.
"Huh? Wait, are you talking about me?" Sofia, who was still looking forward to it, was a little confused when she heard the names of the two black armors, but she inexplicably thought of those things that caused her body to have strange reactions several times.
Regarding the content of the text, I have some new guesses in my mind.
"Who is this coming at?" Karin approached Sophia, raised his shield and prepared to attack.
The armor didn't respond, and one of the light blades in the armor on the left transformed into a light whip and shot towards Sophia's hand.
"Hey, what's going on?" Zate, who realized it later, was a little surprised and looked at Sophia.
Sofia just wanted to escape, but when she thought about the armor's evaluation of her and the plan she planned to implement, there would definitely be more drastic measures. Now she and her group are at the gate of the city. There is no reason for such a big city to do so.
Even if the protective power can defeat these two armors in a short period of time, there will definitely be more and stronger beings involved, and in the end, you will not be the only one who has problems.
If this is the case, if a conflict breaks out, not to mention yourself, everyone else will suffer, so it is better to let them catch it first and let Karin stabilize Zate and the escort, so that at least the situation will not worsen.
Although there is uneasiness about the unknown in my heart, at least I can't let my companions conflict with each other here. And if Mo Nan is really the master of this city - a bloodline of the Severn family, according to his status as his companion, he should
At least she won't be treated too badly. Although she thought so, Sophia didn't have much hope for her final thoughts.
At the moment when she was about to escape, Sophia gritted her teeth, stopped her movements, let the light whip wrap around her hand, and shouted at the escort: "You all stop, don't resist. Then you all stop.
Listen to Carlin's command and don't act arbitrarily, otherwise I won't take you to continue walking, this is my order!"
Then Sofia took a deep breath, watched the black armor approaching her, suppressed her inner emotions and said calmly: "I will go with you and won't resist, so you don't need to take any other actions now. In addition, my name is Sofia.
Zejin is not an experimental subject."
Carlin couldn't understand Sophia's decision for a while, but he couldn't stop it. He had to quickly take out a flare and stuff it into Sophia's other hand. The latter took it and hid it.
The armor did not react in any other way, and then Sophia was pulled away about twenty meters by this posture. Immediately afterwards, some noise appeared at the mouth of the other armor that was not moving. The noise stopped after a while and turned into
The clear voice of a young man.
Karin half-raised his shield and stared at the armor's movements. The big men also looked nervous. Even if they were ruffians, they were still soldiers.
"The research department's junk is really hard to use. So much money was allocated to them in vain." First there was a complaint, and then the voice started to get down to business, "Hey, can you hear me clearly, Miss Zekin's companion?"
"Well, of course. Um, um. Why on earth would you do such a thing?" Zate was a little confused, and at the same time he looked at the armor nervously.
"I don't know your past, but can you give us an explanation?" Karin still half-raised his shield and looked at the twenty big men behind him.
