"Welcome back! You did it!" A young man rushed to the front and shouted excitedly.
Lin Hao smiled and looked at the people around him, with gratitude in his heart: "We did it, but the real battle has just begun. From today on, we will join hands to bring real light to this world."< br>
Su Meier and Xu Mo stood on both sides of Lin Hao, their expressions full of determination. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the three figures looked unusually tall, like three pillars supporting the heaven and earth, announcing that darkness would eventually be replaced by light.
"Then, let's walk the next road together!" Lin Hao's voice resounded through the sky, not only saying to the residents of the town, but more like announcing to the entire world.
Reactions from the crowd poured in, ranging from surprise to deep respect.
"Not only did they come back alive, they also found a way to fight against the shadows!" A woman exclaimed, covering her chest tightly with her hands, tears shining in her eyes.
"I can't believe that those methods in ancient legends actually exist!" A young man's eyes widened, his tone full of disbelief.
"Lin Hao and the others are simply legends!" Another person praised, his tone full of pride, as if their victory was also a part of him.
"So, the era of shadow is coming to an end?" A little girl tugged at the corner of her father's clothes, her childish voice full of expectation.
"Yes, honey, as long as we work together, nothing is impossible." Father lowered his head and responded gently, his eyes reflecting the bright future to come.
With Lin Hao's announcement, a new atmosphere began to permeate every corner of the town, an atmosphere mixed with hope, determination and expectation. People began to talk about how to prepare and how to assist Lin Hao and others in implementing this plan against the shadows. Every face showed unprecedented determination.
"What can we do?" a blacksmith asked loudly, his hammer trembling slightly in his hand, as if he couldn't wait to contribute to this battle.
"Everyone has a role. Whether it is forging weapons, preparing supplies, taking care of the wounded, or delivering information, each of us can contribute to victory." Xu Mo replied, and his words made everyone in the crowd They all feel their own value and importance.
Su Meier gently stroked the head of a child, her smile warm and firm: "Children, you must also be strong. Your smile and innocence are our greatest motivation."
As night falls again, the town does not fall silent due to the threat of shadows. On the contrary, the lights of every house are brighter than before, and every heart is closely connected by a common goal. At the bonfire party, people no longer just told the stories of the past, but also discussed how to create new legends of their own, and how to join hands with Lin Hao and others in the days to come to dispel the shadows and usher in the real dawn.
"As long as we believe, as long as we don't give up, light will always come." Lin Hao's voice echoed in the evening wind, and every word was like a seed falling in the heart, breeding hope and courage.

Next to the campfire, the three friends sat together, looking at the stars, and exchanged knowing smiles with each other. Lin Hao spoke, breaking the brief tranquility: "Tomorrow, we will start a new journey. Along the way, there may be more challenges and unknowns waiting for us."
"But we are no longer alone." Su Meier responded, her eyes gentle but firm, "We have each other and everyone in the town who believes in us."
Xu Mo chuckled and flipped through the notes in his hand: "Moreover, we have mastered the key. All that remains is how to unlock its secrets and bring light to the world."
Their conversation was brief and punchy, every word so full of power that the air around them seemed to vibrate with their determination.
"But before that," Lin Hao suddenly changed the topic and looked at his friends with a smile, "Should we celebrate today's victory first? After all, such a moment is worth remembering."
"That's right!" Su Meier's eyes lit up, and her laughter was clear and sweet, echoing around the campfire. "Come, let's drink to the prelude to the light!"
The three people raised their glasses and clinked their glasses together, and the clear sound was accompanied by the cheers and blessings of the people around them, which seemed to declare to the world: No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, as long as there is light in the heart, you will have the courage to overcome obstacles.
On the other side of the bonfire, an old man slapped his knees, with a child-like smile on his wrinkled face: "Listen, this is the music of life, a symphony of courage and hope!"
The child next to him tugged on the old man's sleeve and asked curiously: "Grandpa, can they really defeat the shadows and let us go out and play at night like during the day?"
The old man bent down and stroked the child's head lovingly: "Child, believe in them, just like believing that the sun will rise every day. Because of them, our world will no longer have dark nights."
At this time, a young woman came with food and joined the conversation: "And, look around us, everyone is working hard, even if it is a small help, it is a force against the shadow. We are one An indivisible whole.”
These words resonated with the people around them, and they all nodded in agreement, making the atmosphere even more enthusiastic. Around the campfire, people of different ages and professions sat in a circle. Their conversations continued one after another, but together they outlined their infinite vision for the future.
——
"Do you know? I have an idea." A craftsman suddenly stood up, the wine glass in his hand trembling slightly, and his eyes sparkled with creativity, "If we can use the clues found by Lin Hao and the others, we can create a craft that can withstand shadows. tools or protective equipment, then we can take the initiative in actual combat.”
This proposal immediately aroused the interest of everyone present. Discussions broke out, and ideas and suggestions continued to emerge. Every voice was full of desire for victory and fantasy of a new world.
"Yes! We can try to make spells based on the rune knowledge recorded by Xu Mo to provide additional protection for our warriors." A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar pushed up his glasses, his tone full of excitement.
"I will be responsible for collecting materials. My caravans are spread all over the place. We will be able to get everything we need." A businessman promised with a firm tone.
"I teach children to sing bright songs, convey courage through singing, and make their hearts stronger." A woman who looked like a teacher suggested gently. Her eyes were soft, as if she had seen the children growing up in the singing. Become fearless.
As the night gets darker, the conversations around the campfire become more and more lively. Every word and every eye contact weaves hope for the future and builds a bright picture that belongs to everyone.
——
Finally, when the embers of the bonfire gradually extinguished, the town returned to tranquility again, but this time, the tranquility contained an unprecedented power - a firm belief in the coming changes, and the belief that light will defeat darkness. Fearless confidence.
Under the night sky, Lin Hao and the three of them stood side by side, looking at the sleeping town, filled with emotion.
"Everything we have done is for this moment." Xu Mo said softly, the note in his hand was closed, but his heart was filled with more unfinished stories.
"Yes," Su Mei'er responded softly. Her eyes looked across the town, as if she had seen the bright future. "Tomorrow, we will set off with everyone's hope. No matter how long the road ahead is, we will no longer be afraid. .”
Lin Hao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and held the hands of his two best friends tightly: "Then it's settled, no matter what greets us tomorrow, the three of us will hold hands until the light shines on every inch of the land. ”
Under the moonlight, their backs were elongated, as if they were guardians of the night, quietly watching over this land, waiting for the first light of dawn.
"By the way, Lin Hao, what do you mean by 'feel with your heart' just now?" Su Meier suddenly turned her head, curiosity and expectation shining in her eyes, "Are there more secrets that we haven't discovered yet? ”
Lin Hao looked up at the starry sky, with a mysterious smile on his lips: "It is an intuition, a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern will. Perhaps, when we truly understand what the power of the 'heart' is, we will not No longer limited by the rules in front of you.”
Xu Mo tapped the notes in his hand lightly and frowned: "This sounds both mysterious and exciting. If this is true, then our method of fighting shadows may have to completely subvert tradition."
Their conversation attracted the attention of several young people around them, and they gathered around with curiosity on their faces.
"Brother Lin Hao, are you saying that the power of the heart is more powerful than martial arts?" One of the young men opened his eyes wide with admiration on his face.
Lin Hao bent down and glanced at everyone gently: "It's not a matter of being powerful or not, it's a matter of different methods. Martial arts strengthen the body, while the power of the heart strengthens the soul. Only the firmness of the soul can overcome all difficulties. ”
The young people looked at each other, with shocking light flashing in their eyes. One of them murmured to himself: "It turns out that true strength starts from the heart."
"Yes," Su Meier answered softly, "If your heart is facing the sun, you are not afraid of sadness. This is what we want to teach everyone."
In the halo of the campfire, their discussion resonated with more people. Even a few old men in the distance hobbled over on crutches to join this discussion about soul and power.
"When we were young, we also chased those seemingly illusory things." An old man spoke slowly, with deep eyes. "Now it seems that you have found a deeper answer than our generation."
< br>
Lin Hao bowed slightly and expressed respect: "Senior, we are just standing on the shoulders of giants. It is your experience and persistence that paved this road."
The old man smiled, with the wisdom of the years hidden in his wrinkles: "The waves behind push the waves ahead, and each generation becomes stronger than the other. This is inheritance. You still have a long way to go, but please remember that no matter when and where, this land and The people are your strongest backing.”
The night is getting deeper, but every corner of the town echoes with the longing for the future and the desire for light. In these words and hopes, there is not only the concentration of strength, but also the exploration of the unknown and the understanding of the depth of life.
Just as everyone gradually dispersed, preparing to welcome the new day, there was a rush of footsteps approaching from far away, and a messenger panting ran to Lin Hao and handed over a sealed letter.
"Lord Lin Hao, urgent news, allies from far away."
Lin Hao took the letter, gently rubbed the sealing wax with his fingers, and his eyes became solemn. He did not open it immediately, but turned to Su Meier and Xu Mo: "No matter what is written in it, we will face it. Because we are not just fighting for ourselves, but also for all the hearts in this world that long for light."
Su Meier and Xu Mo looked at each other and smiled. There was both indifference to the unknown and trust in each other in their smiles. They know that no matter what storms lie ahead, as long as our hearts are together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
Lin Hao opened the envelope, his eyes quickly glanced at the writing on the paper, and his face gradually became serious. He was silent for a moment, and finally said only one sentence: "It seems that the real battle is coming faster than we expected."
After speaking, he handed the letter to Su Meier and Xu Mo. In the last glow of the bonfire, the three of them stood tightly together, their eyes burning with unprecedented firmness and determination.
"Have the shadow forces started taking action?" Su Meier's voice was low, but full of undoubted power.
"Not just actions, the letter said that they have found an ancient and powerful secret technique, trying to cover the world in darkness forever." Xu Mo's eyes lingered on the letter paper, his brows furrowed.
When the few young people around who had not yet left heard this, they looked horrified and started talking in low voices.
"How... how is this possible? We have just seen hope, and are we going to be dragged into despair again?" A young man asked in disbelief.
"No." Lin Hao's voice was firm and powerful. He raised a hand to signal everyone to quiet down, "Remember, we hold the clue of light in our hands, support from each other, the entire town and more. The belief of allies. As long as we are united, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.”
His words were like a warm current, warming everyone's heart. The surrounding discussions gradually subsided and were replaced by a group of determined eyes.
"We are willing to follow you and resist the shadow together!" A middle-aged man stood up with a firm tone. Behind him, more people responded, and the oath reverberated in the night sky like thunder. "Okay!" Lin Hao responded loudly, with an unyielding light shining in his eyes, "But this time, we need a more careful plan and stronger power. Xu Mo, it's time to put your rune research to use; Su Meier, your leadership and wisdom will be the soul of our team. And I...I will find the true meaning of the power of 'feeling with your heart' and bring the key to victory for all of us." (End of Chapter)
