"You'll know after you try it." Klein's response was concise and powerful.
With a thundering sound, light and darkness collided, and the world seemed to stop at that moment. Then, everything returned to calm, the ominous crystal shattered into thousands of pieces, the red light gradually dissipated, replaced by warm and soft light.
"Successful..." Alvin gasped, tears flashing in his eyes.
"But this is just the beginning. We still have a long way to go." Klein looked into the distance, where there are more places that need light.
The moment they left the ruins and returned to the town, they were greeted with thunderous applause and cheers.
"You did it!" the young boy shouted excitedly, surrounded by a group of equally excited fellow villagers.
"We did it." Klein replied with a smile, his eyes looking towards the distant sky, where there seemed to be new challenges waiting for them.
In the tavern of the town, the conversation between several passers-by quietly started again:
"Have you heard? They found the ruins that sealed the devil and freed us all."
"Yeah, it's unbelievable, the Lightwalkers, they are true legends."
"But, do you know? The wise man named Sebastian is said to have more secrets behind him."
An old man wearing a shabby hat leaned against the fireplace, holding a cup of hot ale in his hand, squinting and smiling: "Secret? Isn't there some story hidden behind every great traveler that the world has never known?" Sebastian is no exception.”
The young man sitting nearby approached curiously and asked in a low voice: "Then what do you think Sebastian's secret is?"
The old man pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice: "Some people say that he once personally studied those ancient demon documents, and even talked face to face with demons, and gained knowledge that no one can match."
"Wow, isn't he very dangerous?" The young man's eyes widened.
"Danger? Maybe, but who can tell? In this world where light and darkness intersect, sometimes it is more important to understand your enemy than to swing the sword blindly." The old man said leisurely, with a flash of light in his eyes. Missing, "Moreover, the light walkers accepted him, which means that he has a heart for the light, doesn't it?"
At this time, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and a gust of cool wind rushed in, interrupting everyone's conversation. Klein and his team walked in. Although their bodies were covered with the dust of the journey, their eyes were extremely bright, revealing their relief and tenacity after experiencing a major victory.
Ivan walked to the bar and said loudly to the busy proprietress: "Have a few glasses of the best beer. Today is a day worth celebrating."
The landlady raised her head with a smile on her face: "I have prepared it for you, Light Walkers! Your heroic deeds have been spread throughout the town. It is free, please enjoy it."
The crowd around them became excited again and raised their glasses to greet them. Klein raised his glass in response, then turned to look at the conversation in the corner, a trace of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"Old sir, the secrets you mentioned sound quite interesting. However, everyone has their own past. The key lies in how to use that power." Klein walked over and joined the discussion.
The old man laughed loudly and patted Klein on the shoulder: "Young man, it seems that you are not only a brave warrior, but also a smart thinker. Indeed, the past belongs to the God of Death, and the future belongs to the light walkers."
In the tavern, laughter and chatter broke out one after another, and the air was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere. However, at this moment of celebration, Klein looked thoughtfully at the dark night sky outside the window, and an unknown premonition arose in his heart.
"Although we won this time, the darkness is always looking for gaps," Klein whispered. Although his voice was soft, it clearly reached the ears of several teammates. "Sebastian, what do you think? We really Are you ready to face the next challenge? ”
Sebastian came back from his deep thoughts, with an imperceptible smile on his lips: "Lightwalker, remember, knowledge is power. And I am willing to share everything I know with you, for the sake of light, It’s for this world. No matter what unknown we face next time, it will no longer be a secret.”
The conversation in the tavern fell into silence for a moment following Klein's words, as if even the air was waiting for Sebastian's response. The old man put down the ale in his hand and his eyes wandered between the two of them. The others unconsciously became quiet, and even the occasional sound of the night wind outside the door seemed particularly clear.
"Klein, your intuition is always admirable." Sebastian said softly, his eyes passing through the crowd, seeming to look deeper, "The darkness will not give up easily, but what we have is An unwavering faith in the light, and an unbreakable bond between each other.”
"Well said!" Ivan slapped the table hard, causing the people around him to laugh knowingly. Su Mo and Mei Lin also nodded, their eyes shining with determination and expectation for the future.
At this time, a young girl squeezed through the crowd and walked up to Klein timidly and curiously: "Light Walker, are you going to defeat more demons and protect everyone?" Her eyes were full of yearning and admiration. .
Klein knelt down, looked level with the girl, and replied gently: "Yes, we will continue to move forward, but protecting this world is not just our responsibility. Everyone should have a light in their heart, even in the darkest night , can also illuminate yourself and those around you.”
After hearing this, the girl's eyes lit up, as if a seed called "hope" was planted in her little heart. The surrounding passers-by also fell into deep thought after hearing the words. Their eyes gradually became firm, and a silent power quietly spread in the tavern.
"Look, the Light Walkers are not only fighting, they are also inspiring everyone." The old man murmured to himself, and the wine glass in his hand trembled slightly, which was his infinite longing and emotion for the future.
Just as everyone was immersed in the warm and powerful atmosphere, a rapid knock on the door suddenly broke the silence. Then, a guard with a hurried look rushed into the tavern: "It's not good, light walkers, outside the village. Found abnormal magic power fluctuations, it seems to be..."
Before the guard could finish speaking, Klein and his companions stood up quickly, with determination in their eyes. "No matter what comes, we will face it." Klein declared firmly. His voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly. An invisible courage was passed between them.
Ivan held the Key of Time and Space tightly, Merlin and Su Mo also prepared their staffs and weapons, while Sebastian calmly arranged his clothes, his eyes shining with deep wisdom.
"Let's go, friends." As soon as Klein finished speaking, the five of them stepped out of the tavern and faced the unknown challenge again. Outside the door, the night was still dark, but behind them, there were strings of warm lights left, which were the trust and blessings of the people of the town for them.
"They always show up at the most critical moments." Someone in the crowd sighed, with a mixture of awe and pride in their tone.
"Yes, they are the messengers of light and our hope." Another person responded, his words full of admiration for the light walkers.
"Yes, may the light always shine on their path forward." The old man agreed, his eyes following the back of the figure that gradually disappeared into the night, and complex emotions surged in his heart - both admiration for their fearless spirit, and also for their fearlessness. Worry about unknown challenges.
The tavern has once again returned to the bustle of the past, but tonight, almost every conversation topic revolves around the heroic deeds of the Light Walkers. Their stories are like fire, igniting the enthusiasm and hope in everyone's heart. The young girl walked through the crowd with excitement on her face, repeating Klein's words to everyone who was willing to listen, as if she herself had become a part of the light.
In a corner of the tavern, several travelers from far away were whispering and discussing.
"I've heard of Light Walkers in other places, but I didn't expect to see them with my own eyes today."
"Their legends are more shocking than I imagined, especially Sebastian. How many secrets does he hide?"
"Who knows, but one thing is for sure, having them around always makes people feel at ease."
At this time, an old woman wearing a simple robe and a kind face slowly walked by. When she heard everyone's comments, she stopped and spoke softly: "Children, the reason why the Light Walker can become a legend is not only because Their courage to fight the darkness lies in their ability to make every ordinary person believe that even in the darkest moments, as long as there is light in the heart, there is always hope.”
These words seemed to stir up a thousand waves with one stone, making the originally bustling tavern instantly quiet. All eyes were focused on this old woman who seemed ordinary but exuded extraordinary temperament.
"Are you..." a young man asked tentatively.
The old woman smiled and shook her head, "I'm just an old man who likes to tell stories. But remember, what the Light Walkers do is not just to kill demons. Their more important task is to awaken the light in everyone's heart. Let this world be different with every little light.”
Her words were like a warm spring breeze, blowing through everyone's heart, making everyone present feel an unprecedented resonance.
When the old woman turned away and rejoined the crowd, the discussions about the Light Walkers were no longer just about praising their feats, but more about thinking about self-worth and how to deliver this in daily life. Bright discussion.
"I think there is something I can do." The young girl looked at the direction where the old woman disappeared, with a determined light in her eyes.
At the same time, on the other side of the tavern, Klein and his friends were quickly discussing strategies to deal with the abnormal magic power fluctuations outside the village. They know that there will be unknown difficulties and obstacles ahead, but as Klein said, no matter what, they will move forward bravely.
"We are ready, Klein." Merlin's firm voice sounded, and the staff in her hand seemed to glow faintly, responding to the master's determination.
"Then it's settled." Klein nodded and turned to face his companions. "No matter what secrets are hidden in the darkness, as long as our hearts are open to the light and we walk hand in hand, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."
With a soft sound, they embarked on the journey again, leaving behind not only the discussion in the tavern that could not be subsided for a long time, but also the light of hope that took root in everyone's heart.
The door of the tavern closed gently, and the night outside was still dark, but in everyone's heart, light had quietly risen, illuminating the way forward.
"Until the light shines on the earth, we will never give up." A weak but firm voice echoed in the night wind, as if it was the declaration of the light walker, or the deepest common prayer in everyone's heart.
"Let's go, friends, time waits for no one." Klein said as he led the team into the night. Their figures were quickly swallowed up by the dark streets, leaving only a series of firm footsteps that echoed In the empty alleys.
In the tavern, the warmth and hope that was aroused did not dissipate with the departure of the Light Walker, but became even more intense during the exchanges between the people.
"They are really amazing." The little girl who just asked the question held the hand of her mother beside her, her eyes full of infinite longing for the future, "Mom, I also want to be like them."
The mother bent down and gently stroked the child's head, "Everyone can shine in their own way, and you are no exception, baby."
The little girl nodded thoughtfully and looked out the window at the deserted street, planting the seeds of her dream in her heart.
"What kind of people are they that can have such influence?" A foreign businessman asked the drinker next to him doubtfully, his face full of curiosity.
The old man next to him took a sip of wine and replied slowly: "Light Walkers, they are the heroes in the story and mortals in life. But it is this mortal power that allows them to stand up at critical moments and give With our infinite courage and hope.”
The businessman's eyes flickered, as if at this moment, he was also touched by some power deep in his soul. "Then, I should also find my own light, right?"
People present either nodded in agreement or fell into deep thought. The entire tavern seemed to have become a melting pot of ideas and inspiration. Every step forward by the Light Walker became a spark that inspired the inner potential of ordinary people.
At this time, Klein and his group of five people had arrived outside the village. In front of them was a piece of distorted air, and the source of the magic fluctuation seemed to be there. Sebastian narrowed his eyes, carefully sensing every movement around him.
"It seems that what we encountered is not just a simple magic leakage." He said slowly, with a tone of solemnity and a bit of expectation.
"No matter what it is, nothing can stop us." Ivan held the key to time and space tightly, his voice full of confidence. Just as they were about to delve deeper, a weak voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Be careful, light walkers, there are deeper secrets hidden here than you think." (End of Chapter)
