Capítulo 916: Chapter 652: The Empire’s Commoners (Part 3)

She let out a slow sigh and said:

“I understand.”

After speaking, she looked at the old woman shivering in the cold wind, glanced at the already rotten berries in the basket, thought for a mont, took out a gold pound from her pocket, and stuffed it into the old woman’s hands:

“Here is so money, you can use it to buy clothes and food.”

“A… gold pound!”

The old woman’s eyes widened, and a trace of greed flashed in her gaze.

However, she quickly shook her head and said with a wry smile:

“Thank you for your kindness, milady, but… it’s better if you keep this gold pound.”

“This is just a token of my goodwill.”

Sofia insisted.

The old woman sighed and said:

“Milady, such a large sum of money, even if you give it to , an old woman like probably can’t guard it…”

Hearing her words, Sofia was slightly stunned.

Following the old woman’s gaze, the girl looked around, and when she saw the holess people who had sohow gathered around, greedily eyeing the gold pound in her hand, she finally understood.

“I understand now…”

The girl’s expression grew desolate.

With a sour feeling in her heart, she took off the ragged coat given to her by the elves, disguised as a rcenary, and draped it over the old woman. She then took out so delicious pastries from her storage ring, specifically kept from Gray Port, and handed them to the old woman:

“Please eat sothing. I’ll leave after you’ve eaten.”

“Thank you… thank you, milady. You are a good person, the Eternal Lord will surely bless you.”

The old woman said gratefully.

After speaking, she began to eat ravenously, as if she hadn’t eaten well in a long ti.

Bless …

Looking at the dilapidated streets around and the tightly shut doors of the church in the distance, for so reason, Sofia suddenly felt an imnse sense of irony…

After bidding farewell to the old woman, the girl felt much heavier in spirit.

At this mont, she no longer felt the excitent she had at the start.

The group continued forward, gradually reaching the heart of the town, entering the traditional wealthy area.

This was where the nobles lived, resplendent and magnificent, forming a stark contrast to the previous area, giving Sofia a slight sense of familiarity.

But this did not bring joy to the girl; on the contrary, her mood seed to grow heavier.

Along the way, Sofia spoke less and less, and her eyes grew more lancholic.

Even the players who wanted to speak with her beca much quieter.

River Bay Town was not large; after passing through the now deserted noble area, Sofia and her party quickly arrived at the other side of the town.

As they moved, the surrounding houses began to run down again, forming a stark contrast with the wealthy area.

On the other side of the town, there were city walls for protection, and a moat outside the walls.

Of course, there were no guards anymore.

Riding the Dragon Scale Horse, Sofia and the elves finally left the town and entered the heart of the Western Domain.

However, just after leaving the city gates, Sofia noticed a suspicious man sneaking by the roadside.

He appeared to be a man in his thirties or forties, holding sothing in his arms, with a numb expression. He walked to the roadside ditch and threw the thing in his hands into it.

But, when he saw Sofia and the others, his face changed slightly, and he quickly fled in panic.

“What did he throw away?”

Seeing this scene, Sofia frowned slightly.

“I suggest you don’t look,”

Demacia suddenly spoke up.

For so reason, his voice was unusually heavy.

Of course, the Half-elf Girl naturally wouldn’t heed his advice.

She snorted coldly, squeezed her horse’s flanks, and rode towards the roadside.

As she approached the ditch, Sofia gradually caught a nauseating stench.

It seed like the sll of sothing rotting.

And when she reached the edge of the ditch and saw what was inside, her gaze instantly froze…

Inside the ditch.

Were piles of dead infants.
