my hometown The sound suddenly stopped in the darkness.
Wang Chu could feel the even breathing of the two people.
Lucia must be thinking.
"I haven't been back to my hometown for a long time."
Lucia said.
Although she couldn't see what her expression looked like, there was a hint of regret in her tone.
"How come, doesn't the academy have a holiday every year?"
Rias swayed as if she was about to sit up when she was excited.
The carriage shook a little but she felt that Fiona was still sleeping behind her.
It was not good to disturb others so late.
Hush, hush.
"Even if I have a holiday, I have no place to go back, and it's so far away."
The so-called academy holiday is the period of time that coincides with the founding day of the Ashtar Empire every year.
There are almost dozens of days of rest.
Large-scale celebrations will be held across the country, and national officials or academy students will have a rest. , most of them will also choose to travel far away for vacation, so there are fewer people in the city, and businessmen will of course have a chance to rest.
"But the vacation is very long."
Rias asked puzzledly, as if she wanted to know more about Lucia's life experience.
Since the time they spent together at Lucifer's house, the two of them had nothing to say.
Not to talk about.
Rias has almost never had such a friend except her sister, so she wants to know more about each other.
"It's been a long time, but I don't know if I want to go back."
Lucia paused.
After staying in the dark for a long time, his vision will slowly adapt to the environment.
Wang Chu can even see Lucia's delicate face, her plump body lying on the ground in front of him, and a pair of eyes looking at Li on the opposite side.
Yas.
Occasionally, the palms of the hands are combed in front of their own hair.
"You know, my hometown is in the western country called Uzlik.
It is a small country surrounded by two other countries, so murders and robberies often occur on the border."
Lucia Describing to the other party the situation of a country in war.
"Then your family lives on the border?"
"It doesn't matter whether you live there or not.
Uzrik is originally a small country with only a few hundred thousand people.
It can't even form an army all year round, let alone resist, so it can only rely on the Asta Empire.
Only such a big country can survive," Lucia replied.
As a result, vassaling a big country is a very common way of survival, but Wang Chu doesn't understand what the benefits are for a big country like the Asta Empire to protect such a small country.
If there were no benefits, Wang Chu would not believe that this country would be so kind.
I really want to ask if this small country has any resources or anything, but I can't ask.
"That's okay, at least you don't have to worry about harassment from other countries in your life."
Rias breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's not necessarily that there will be some friction on the border.
Soldiers from other countries pretend to be bandits to rob and run away as soon as they come.
Even the Asta Empire's army has a hard time chasing them.
Besides, although Uzrik's territory is not big, Half of the area is desert, and life is very difficult.
Only the areas to the west are better and have mountains and forests.”
I didn't expect it to be so barren.

Unless gold can be dug out in this desert area, or the king of the Asta Empire is kicked in the head by a donkey, Wang Chu really can't think of any reason to protect this country.
Rias behind her suddenly seemed a little excited, turning her palms over to hold herself down.
"The farthest west?
I heard that there is the densest forest area on the entire continent.
It is said that there are forest elves there.
Is it true?"
I asked again.
Wang Chu struggled to get his head out of the opponent's hand.
Take a big breath of air
"Oh, Cam.
Sorry to wake you."
It woke me up and I wasn't asleep at all.
The two of them thought they spoke very quietly, and deliberately lowered their voices, but it was still loud enough to Wang Chu's ears.
"I've never seen a forest elf, but that area is indeed the oldest forest.
It's inaccessible and I don't know what kind of beasts and monsters there are.
If you don't have enough ability, you probably won't be able to get in," Lucia said. .
"What on earth could that be?"
"I don't know very well.
Even people from the western countries rarely go in.
Even if they go, they can't walk far for fear of losing their way.
But occasionally I heard that forest elves will appear."
Recalling various experiences in childhood.
At this moment, a coughing voice with a smoky voice came over from outside the carriage, humming a song in an unknown tune.
Then there was a hissing sound.
Probably the soldiers on duty at night were urinating.
Poof, the two girls covered their mouths to hold back their laughter, but did not dare to let out any sound.
Their bodies and the carriage shook slightly.
"Oh, by the way.
Do you think this mission will be dangerous?"
Lucia suddenly asked.
"Probably, but it doesn't matter, we have so many elite teams here, we will definitely win."
A confident tone.
Although Rias was born into a military family and practiced hard every day, she had never experienced the cruelty of the battlefield at a young age, so she was fearless no matter what she encountered.
But this is fine, if you don't have this kind of spirit, it will probably be difficult to stay in the army.
Just like I did back then, I think it's cool to defend the country.
If I go to the battlefield, I will definitely be a good player, but it's hard to say what it will be like if I go there.
Gradually, the topic of the conversation between the two turned to Lucia's childhood experiences.
It turned out that she was raised by relatives at home, and because she was a girl and could not do hard work, her family was very cold to her and thought she would only eat and waste food.
Later, she happened to encounter the Asta Empire's policy of cultivating young people from the subject countries. , Lucia voluntarily came to Hajar City from the west.
Wang Chu kept listening and didn't know when he fell asleep.
He only felt that his eyelids were heavy and his consciousness gradually blurred.
After a peaceful night together, the two girls were woken up by the paladin coachman coming from outside early the next morning.
"Time to hit the road kids."
Wang Chu opened his eyes and continued to choose to sleep.
Usually if nothing happened, no one would call him, so he would find a quiet corner and continue to lie down.

The carriage is moving, you can feel it.
It's swaying, but once you get used to it, it feels like a massage.
It's very rhythmic, and it makes sleeping more comfortable.
It was impossible to see that the routes were all led by the vanguard.
This schedule lasted for many days.
They were always traveling during the day and not finding a suitable place to rest until evening.
However, the time to camp at night was advanced as the day progressed.
Once outside the border of Hajar City, it is considered a dangerous area, and the leader must ensure the safety of the entire team.
In the past few days, Wang Chu had met the Magician Association led by Edmund once.
They were all looking at the map carefully to study the route.
The shape of the Snowy Mountains was not easy to identify.
Some routes were difficult to follow, and there were no other positioning tools. , we can only continue to send scouts to explore the road.
On the tenth day, Wang Chu felt that the temperature began to rise slowly, and some soldiers could no longer wear those plush coats.
"The west is a desert area and it won't snow.
The rising temperature means we are approaching the national border."
Fiona said in the car
