Chapter 966 Pause
It was late at night, and the conversation gradually stopped, leaving only the occasional crackle of the campfire and the chirping of insects in the distance. It seemed that even nature was listening to their dreams and cheering them on.
"Good night, everyone." Alvin was the last to extinguish his own light. The stars in the night sky seemed to be brighter, illuminating the team and the unknown road ahead of them.
The little boy quietly said to his sister: "Tomorrow, we will be closer to that holy land, right? I think there will be many answers waiting for us there."
"No -" Lin Feng's The shouting was heartbreaking and penetrated the quiet night sky. The little girl's laughter and the little boy's longing seemed to still be echoing in the ears, but at this moment, only endless emptiness and sadness were left.
The female mage knelt on the ground, tears flashing in her eyes. She couldn't believe what she saw in front of her. Those two innocent faces were now lying quietly on the cold ground, never opening their eyes again. The laughter and laughter around the campfire seemed like a distant memory, and the heavy grief made everyone breathless.
Old man Alvin was silent, with a rare expression of regret on his face, and his deep eyes seemed to reflect the regrets and helplessness of the past. He slowly walked towards Lin Feng and put a hand gently on his shoulder, silently conveying comfort and support.
"Why...we have to lose so much?" Lin Feng's voice was hoarse, and tears fell down his cheeks, dripping on the dry land and turning into desperate flowers.
"Because the road to guarding the light is always full of thorns." Alvin said solemnly, "But we cannot stop here. In order to commemorate their sacrifice, we must continue to move forward. , transforming their will into the force for our advancement."
Lin Feng raised his head, with a firm light shining in his eyes, which was the determination to be reborn from pain, "You are right, we cannot fail. Next. Assass must pay the price, for them and for the sake of this world, we will never give up."
The female mage wiped away her tears and cheered up again, her eyes burning with the flames of revenge, "Lin Feng is right, we want every villain who dares to threaten the peace of this continent to feel the same pain."< br>
The night is getting darker, but the team's bonfire is lit again. This time, it is not for celebration or rest, but for mourning and revenge. They sat quietly all night around the fire, each immersed in grief and thinking, but they quietly gathered unprecedented unity and strength in their hearts.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the treetops and shone on the team, everyone's face looked particularly determined. They packed their bags without saying too many words. They understood all their determination with just one look at each other.
"Let's set off, toward the Holy Land and toward our destiny." Lin Feng waved his hand and led the team into the unknown journey.
During the journey, Alvin began to teach them more advanced knowledge and skills, from how to reconcile the power of natural elements to how to discern the weaknesses of human hearts. Each lesson was crucial, and Lin Feng and the female mage , including every member of the team, studied very hard.
As time goes by, not only have they made a qualitative leap in strength, but more importantly, they have also become mentally tougher. The passing of the little boy and the little girl has become an eternal pain in their hearts, but it is also this pain that makes them learn to cherish the present and learn to stand up bravely even in the face of despair and become the light of others.
"Mr. Alvin, I feel that we are getting closer to the Holy Land." During a short break, the female mage looked at the faintly visible outline of the mountains in the distance and said softly.
"Yes," Alvin nodded, "hidden there is the answer we seek, and it is also the key to fighting Arthas. But remember, real power does not only come from gifts from the outside world, but more It's the awakening from the heart."
"I am ready, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will never lose the important person again." Lin Feng clenched his fists, with a burning fighting spirit in his eyes. .
"We are too." The other team members responded one after another. Their eyes showed both determination and sadness, but they knew that only moving forward is the best way to comfort the deceased.
As they go deeper into the unknown territory, the scenery along the way becomes more and more bizarre, and they occasionally meet some scattered travelers or villages. Whenever this happens, the reactions of passers-by are always extremely strong, and their conversations are full of opposites. The surprise and awe of this squad.
"Look, isn't that the legendary Lord Alvin? He actually exists!" A young farmer exclaimed, his eyes fixed on Alvin and his group, his eyes full of admiration .
"And that young man, I heard that he is the recently rising hero Lin Feng. Are they going to the Holy Land?" An old man next to him narrowed his eyes, seeming to be recalling and speculating.
"Holy Land? That is a legendary place. If they can find the secret there, can this disaster be ended?" A child with an immature voice interjected, his eyes flashing with hope for the future. hope.
These conversations came to their ears from time to time as the team progressed. Each time, the team members became more aware of their mission and felt the weight on their shoulders more.
When they arrived at a small town, the residents gathered around and talked about it.
"It's incredible that such a strong man would pass by our small place." A woman discussed with her companions in a low voice.
"They must be going to accomplish something big. Look at that young lady, everything she does is extraordinary." Another old hunter pointed at the female mage and said, his eyes full of admiration.
"I hope they can succeed and our children can have a safer future." A mother holding a baby prayed softly, her eyes full of expectations for the future.
In the eyes of everyone, the team did not stay too long, but a deeper belief was buried in their hearts. Night fell again, and they sat around the campfire. This time there was no laughter, instead there were more in-depth conversations and plans for the future.
"Mr. Alvin, if we find the power of the Holy Land, how can we ensure that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands?" Lin Feng asked a crucial question.
"This is a good question." Alvin replied after thinking for a moment, "Real power should be used to protect rather than conquer. We need to establish a mechanism to ensure that the transfer of power is based on justice. and wisdom.”
The female mage added: “At the same time, we also need to cultivate more people like us who have a sense of responsibility and correct ideas. Only in this way can power be virtuous.”
"Yes, we must not only become heroes, but also become mentors and pass on this strength and belief." Lin Feng's eyes were firm, and his idea was unanimously agreed by everyone.
When the conversation came to an end, Lin Feng stood up, looked at the stars, and said with a firm and loud voice: "Tomorrow, we will step into the Holy Land and uncover all the answers. No matter what is waiting for us, as long as we have justice in our hearts, There is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." "That's right!" The other team members echoed, their eyes shining with the light of fighting against the dark night.
Just as the afterglow of the bonfire was about to dissipate, a mysterious traveler quietly came to the edge of their camp. He was wearing a cloak, his face hidden in the shadows, only revealing a pair of deep eyes, as if he could Insight into people's hearts. He said in a calm and magnetic voice: "Tired from the journey, how are you all? I overheard your conversation, and it seems that you are moving towards an important goal."
Lin Feng is alert. He stood up and put his hand on the hilt of the sword unconsciously: "Who are you? What do you do here?" Others quickly became alert, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The mysterious traveler smiled slightly, raised his hands, and said that he meant no harm: "Don't worry, I mean no harm. I am a traveler on this continent. I may be able to learn about the holy land you mentioned. Provide some help."
Alvin's eyes shone with wisdom in the night, and he motioned for everyone to be calm: "How come you know about the Holy Land?"
The mysterious traveler took out an ancient map from his cloak and slowly spread it out beside the campfire: "This map records the secret path to the Holy Land, as well as some ancient legends about the Holy Land. If you are willing, I can serve as a guide, Let me help you."
The female mage stared at the map with a hint of surprise in her eyes, and then looked at the mysterious traveler: "Why do you want to help us? This is too important for us to make any mistakes. "
The mysterious traveler lowered his head and his voice became low and sincere: "Because I also have my pursuit, which is a secret that only the Holy Land can answer. Moreover, I have seen too many problems caused by ignorance and greed. Tragedy, I want to believe that you will use this power to do the right thing."
Lin Feng looked at him for a while, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's act together, but there is one thing I want to explain. If we find that you have done anything wrong, we will not show mercy."
"This is natural," the mysterious traveler replied easily, as if he had already expected his trust in Lin Feng.
With the joining of the mysterious traveler, the team set out again. They did avoid many possible traps and dangers along the way, and his rich knowledge also gave them a deeper understanding of the holy land. Along the way, they rescued some villagers who were infested by monsters. Every time, the villagers' grateful words and reverent eyes made the team members feel more responsible.
Finally, on a sunny day, they stood in front of the entrance to the holy land. It was a valley bathed in sunlight, surrounded by stone pillars that exuded soft light, as if every stone was Telling ancient stories.
“This is it.” The mysterious traveler whispered, with unnoticeable excitement in his voice.
Lin Feng turned his head, looked at each team member, and said firmly: "We have come so far just for this moment. No matter what we encounter, we must face it together and solve it together. Ready "
"Ready!" the team members responded in unison, their faces filled with determination.
Just as they were about to step into the Holy Land, the mysterious traveler suddenly stopped and turned to Lin Feng, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Lin Feng, there is one thing I haven't told you. The reason why I know so much about the Holy Land is The information is because I used to be a follower of Arthas."
Everyone was shocked, the air seemed to be solid, and only the crackling of the bonfire was particularly harsh in the tense atmosphere.
"But I have woken up." The mysterious traveler quickly added, his voice full of sincerity, "What Asas did made me realize that that is not the justice I pursue. Now, I am willing to use I will spend the rest of my life to atone for my sins and help you stop him.”
Lin Feng’s eyes were sharp, but he did not react immediately. The reactions of the surrounding team members varied, including surprise, confusion, and disbelief.
After a period of silence, the female mage spoke slowly, with a subtle tremor in her voice: "Have you really changed?"
The mysterious traveler nodded heavily, with determination flashing in his eyes: "Yes, I have changed. I am willing to accept any test, just to gain your trust."
"Trust is not achieved overnight, but past mistakes do not mean that Forever." Lin Feng took a deep breath and his eyes gradually softened, "We give you a chance, and we give all of us a chance. If you sincerely repent, then let's prove it to the world."
"Thank you, Lin Feng." The mysterious traveler whispered, his gratitude beyond words.
With this decision, the balance of the team atmosphere was subtly restored. They moved on and entered the territory of the Holy Land. A quiet and powerful force seems to surge from the depths of the earth, which is awe-inspiring.
"Is this the power of the Holy Land? It's so pure." The female mage sighed softly. She closed her eyes as if talking to this power.
The mysterious traveler walks at the front, leading everyone through complex terrain and maze-like corridors according to the guidance of the map. "Be careful, the traps and trials here are to test the determination and purity of visitors." He reminded.
Soon, they came to a huge circular altar, with a dazzling crystal column standing in the center, with colorful light flowing on it, like a microcosm of the entire world.
“This is the heart of the Holy Land.” The mysterious traveler explained, “According to legend, the power of ancient gods is sealed here, which can give the chosen one the ability to change the world.”
Lin Feng walked on In front of him, he stretched out his hand to touch the crystal pillar. In an instant, scenes flashed through his mind: battles, sacrifices, tears in the past, and the possible darkness and light in the future. "I understand, this is not just power, but also responsibility."
"Yes, the greater the power, the heavier the responsibility." Alvin stepped forward and stood side by side with Lin Feng, "We are not only To fight against Assass, we must also protect the future of this continent.”
Suddenly, the crystal pillar glowed brightly, and a beam of light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the entire holy land like daylight. A warm and powerful energy poured into everyone's body, and they felt enriched and powerful as never before.
