Chapter 326 Hitchhiker
Chapter 326 Hitchhiker
As dawn approached, the gargoyles, who were also traveling on the rainy night like her, fell to the ground before dawn and waited for the sun to rise and turn into stone.
After a brief moment of stagnation, Lilith's nose felt sore and tears were about to fall, "You——"
The green-faced, fang-toothed gargoyle folded its wings. Its originally rough skin was now soaked by the rain and reflected the moonlight. After hearing what Lilith said, it looked back at the man and horse in the cave and moved to the side to avoid blocking the way of the people inside.
Lilith's tears had already fallen, but she suddenly realized that it was not... it was not the one she brought out from the Yafer Valley. This was a strange creature, but they all looked the same.
The gargoyle had already found a stable place to squat, waiting for dawn.
Lilith wiped her face and looked at its back for a long time, and finally approached it, "Are you going to Ozler?"
However, it was too late. The rain had stopped at some point, red clouds appeared in the sky, and the sun rose as usual.
The gargoyle has turned into stone and will no longer respond.
Lilith let out a howl of frustration, but other than the little red horse looking up and snorting in between meals, no one responded to her.
"It must be because no one has been able to talk for too long. I'm going crazy. I must get back to school before my sanity is gone..." Lilith muttered to herself in a trance. She looked at the gargoyle that stopped by and came up with a bold idea.
"I'm sorry, my friend..." Lilith rubbed her hands, like a robber, "We are still on the same route in the short term, right? Let's help each other. How about I give you a ride and you give me a ride?"
"If you don't say anything, of course you agree, right? I knew that you gargoyles are all good people..." Lilith threw away her conscience and put her hand on the gargoyle. She put it into the ring in an instant and then immediately turned around and ran towards her own grass nest.
The pony who witnessed Lilith's "crime" looked quietly at the human in front of him, but the other person was very arrogant, "What are you looking at! It's because you can't fly!"
She took the reins of the red horse with a sense of righteousness, walked towards the flat road, and continued on her journey.
When the sun sets and the gargoyle regains its mobility, what Lilith sees is the changing scenery around it, as well as the man and horse next to it. Lilith puts on a familiar and brilliant smile and opens her arms to the gargoyle, "Come on, friend! I'm ready!"
The reins and saddle on the pony had been taken off. It looked at the human who had enslaved it for many days and talked to itself for a long time at the newly appeared huge guy. The other party finally hugged her knees, lifted her up, and flew into the sky.
This familiar feeling made Lilith's heart soar. She waved happily at the pony on the ground, flying higher and higher in the night, heading towards the east.
"I knew you gargoyles... No! You Night Walkers are all warm-hearted citizens who love to help others! Oh, this feeling is really nostalgic..." The spring night breeze was still a little cold, but Lilith leaned against the gargoyle, as if she had some support. It didn't matter even if the other party didn't know her, she still felt that she finally had a friend by her side.
"Although you can't speak either, you are better than that bad-tempered pony. Well, it's free..." Lilith talked to herself, as if she wanted to pour out the words she had been holding back for more than ten days. She chattered on for more than an hour before finally falling asleep in the gargoyle's arms.
The expressionless gargoyle looked down at the guy sleeping in his arms and continued to speed up his journey.
Lilith slept so soundly that it was only when the gargoyle put her on the ground and poked her that she woke up near dawn.
"Well, what's wrong, Master?" Lilith opened her eyes. Her hair had been blown into a mess by the wind, but she didn't notice it at all. She just looked at the hitchhiker in front of her.
The gargoyle looked up to the east.
"Oh, aren't we on the same route? How about you give it a ride again--" Lilith yawned and said halfway, then stopped talking. Forget it, she couldn't go too far. She knew exactly why the gargoyle was traveling every night, it was going to the war front.
"It seems we can only go this far together."
Lilith smacked her lips with regret, looking at the gargoyle with eyes full of reluctance. It was worthy of the title of night-wandering god. With it by her side, Lilith felt extremely at ease. They had only been together for one night and now they had to separate. But it was not a bad thing either, as it meant that she was very close to Gloria.
"Goodbye." Lilith didn't want to waste any more time on the gargoyle and took a step back.
There was no such thing as reluctance in the gargoyle's emotions. After hearing Lilith's words, it flapped its wings and took off again, heading east.
Lilith looked at the town that was dimly visible in the moonlight in the distance and sighed.
"Run, Lilith, run!" She patted her face, which had just woken up, to cheer herself up. Running was what she was best at. She could just pretend that she was taking a morning jog around Mirror Lake in Goletia Academy.
"Wait until daybreak and then buy a new pony. This time I must choose one that is brave and has a mild temper..." Lilith muttered to herself as she ran towards the town.
Lilith didn't feel anything when she was in school before, but now that she is outside the city wall, she feels the difference between the big city and the countryside. Although she can't see the towering city wall of Gloria yet, compared to the deserted suburbs she had been traveling in the past few days, the closer she got to Gloria and Highgarden, the smoother and easier the road became. Even in the middle of the night, there were always travelers running back and forth, passing by her on horseback.
The sturdy white horse was much more beautiful than the gray horse and the chestnut horse she had bought before. Lilith glanced at it with envy, thinking that she would definitely pick one like it when she got to the town. As a result, the white horse ran out, turned its head, and stopped in front of Lilith.
Lilith looked up and saw a knight in golden and white armor on a white horse. Isn't this...
The knight on horseback was also observing her. When he saw her golden hair like a chicken coop, he was still a little skeptical. Wasn't she said to be a noble lady? The knight jumped off his horse and walked closer.
"Miss Friar? Is it Miss Lilith Friar?" The knight took down the hurricane lantern hanging on the side of the white horse and shone it carefully on Lilith's face. She really had blue eyes and blonde hair!
"I am..." Lilith thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The next second, a signal flare shot up into the sky. The knight in front of him sent a signal to the sky and smiled eagerly at Lilith.
"That's great Miss Lilith, we have been looking for you for many days."
"There is a man who is very concerned about your safety!"
