While they were talking, the ragged old poet slowly approached again. His eyes flickered, as if he were hiding hundreds of unfinished stories: "Children, the ancient prophecy mentioned that in the construction of bridges between light and darkness After that, five trialists will appear, who will bring unprecedented challenges and are the key to a higher level of balance."
"Five trialers?" Lin Feng repeated in his heart. Full of curiosity and uneasiness.
The old poet nodded, his tone becoming more solemn: "They are the incarnations of the five elements, representing water, fire, earth, wind in nature, and the most mysterious fifth element - ether." If you want to achieve true balance, you must pass the test they set."
The discussion among passers-by became heated again, and various speculations and worries were blown away in the night wind:
"The five elements. , this sounds like a repeat of an ancient myth!”
"Yes, and it is said that even the most knowledgeable magicians cannot fully master the fifth element."
"If this prophecy is true, what challenges will our heroes face?"
The young scholar pushed up his glasses, his eyes shining with curiosity: "According to the literature, every elemental trial is an ultimate test of the will, wisdom and even the soul of the trialer. But after success, They will gain unprecedented power."
Alvin stared at the old poet, his voice firm: "Please tell us, what should we do?"
The old poet showed a mysterious smile. Pointing to the starry sky: "The stars have pointed out the path you want to take. Each star corresponds to the location of a trialist. But remember, the real answer is always in your hearts, it is your choice and persistence, Will guide you through trials.”
"Guidance from the stars?" Leo looked up at the sky. The stars seemed to become brighter at that moment, seeming to be responding to his determination.
Leah held the old poet's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you, your words have given us direction. We will not let you down."
"I believe in you "The old poet patted Leah's hand gently, then turned and left. His back looked particularly lonely and great in the moonlight, "The balance of light and darkness, and the future of the world, all depend on you. ”
When the old poet drifted away, the four people gathered together again. The initial confusion and hesitation in their eyes was no longer there, replaced by indestructible faith and unyielding will.
“Let’s go, friends.” Lin Feng chuckled, his words full of confidence, “Whether it’s the turbulence of water, the heat of fire, the thickness of earth, the invisibility of wind, or even the mystery No amount of ether can stop us from pursuing balance.”
"Yes," Alvin clenched his fists, "For the coexistence of light and darkness, and for the future of this world, we accept the test and move forward fearlessly!"
In the night, the figures of four people It gradually disappeared into the depths of the forest, leaving behind a string of firm footprints and the expectant eyes of the villagers.
"They will succeed, right?" The little girl held her mother's hand and watched the heroes leave, with both reluctance and belief in her eyes.
The mother caressed her daughter's head and replied gently: "Yes, because they are the messengers of light and the guides of shadow. They have the hope and strength of all of us."
< br>"Mom, what is the real test?" The little boy pulled the corner of another bystander's clothes and asked curiously.
"The real test is the experience that makes you stronger and allows you to learn more." The onlookers lowered their heads, their eyes shining with longing for the future, "Just like the heroes in..., they will encounter There are difficulties, but every time they overcome them, they are closer to their goal."
"What kind of enemies will they encounter?" The little girl interjected, her imagination already. Create thrilling battles in your mind.
A middle-aged blacksmith wiped his sweat and joined the conversation: "Child, the enemy is not just the monsters or enemies outside. Sometimes, the biggest enemy is the fear and doubt within oneself. Messengers of Light What we have to face may be an unprecedented inner struggle, and it is the ability to find hope in a desperate situation.”
The crowd was buzzing with comments, and each audience member was interpreting the upcoming test in his or her own way. Lian, their trust and expectations for the Messenger of Light are beyond words.
On the other side of the dense forest, four messengers of light were sitting around a campfire. Alvin was the first to break the silence: "We all know that the road ahead is difficult. But, as the old poet said, The real answer lies within us. We must be ready for what is coming. ”
Lin Feng nodded, his eyes sharp: "No matter who these trialists are, or the incarnation of what element they are, the first thing we have to do is to strengthen ourselves. We must not only improve our strength, but also deepen our understanding of light and darkness. Understand and find that delicate balance."
Leah stroked the necklace around her neck, which hung a tiny star, as if echoing one in the night sky: "We still need to unite everything. The power of unity. Maybe, on the road, we will meet friends who are willing to fight alongside us."
Leo raised the sword in his hand and pointed the tip of the sword at the starry night sky: "Then it's decided. . Starting tomorrow, we will work separately to find knowledge and allies that can help us pass the trial. A month later, we will reunite here to share each other's gains and embark on a new journey together."
The light shines on us. Their firm determination and unyielding will were reflected on everyone's faces. They understand that this is not only a personal challenge, but also the protection of the entire world.
While the four people were discussing, a slight voice echoed in the forest, like the whisper of the wind: "Time is running out, and unknown dangers are approaching quietly. Remember, the real power comes from the light within. .”
The sudden whisper made the four of them look up suddenly and looked around, but found no one. The unknown premonition made the air thicken, but the fire in their hearts burned even brighter.
"No matter what it is, we will face the difficulty." Alvin stood up, his eyes burning, "Because we are the messengers of light." "Yes," the other three agreed, and they The voices echoed in the night sky, stirring each other's hearts, "For the sake of light, for balance, for this world, we are not afraid of any trial!"
The oath beside the campfire is in silence spread throughout the night, as if even the earth was listening, silently giving strength and blessings. And just before the oath lingered, the distant starry sky seemed to flicker slightly, as if the universe itself was confirming their decision.
"Then, let us set off from here, towards the unknown, towards the challenge." Lin Feng stood up, stretched out his hand, and held hands with his partners. At this moment, they seemed to be able to feel each other's faith in each other. Intertwined and gathered to form an irresistible force.
Under the deep night, the four messengers of light followed the guidance of the stars and embarked on their own journeys. Leo chose a road leading to the far north, where the ancient and mysterious Tusha Village is hidden, which is rumored to be the location of the Trial of Wind. With his desire for power and his commitment to his partners, he walked alone through the desolate mountains. Unexpectedly, an unexpected storm was quietly brewing.
After several days of trekking, Leo finally arrived at the edge of Tusha Village. The village was surrounded by a strange storm, with howling winds and dust covering the sky, as if nature itself was giving him a warning. Regardless of the difficulties and obstacles, he stepped into this storm, but he didn't know that he was walking into an unknown trap step by step.
Just when Leo went deep into Tusha Village, an unknown force suddenly invaded his mind. That was the first test of the Wind Trial. At first, he resisted this erosion with his firm will, but as time went by, the power gradually resonated with the shadow hidden in his body, awakening the fear and anger deep in his heart.
One night, the strong wind suddenly stopped, and the entire Tusa Village fell into an eerie silence. In the center of the village, Leo knelt on the ground, with twisting wind blades surrounding his body. His eyes flashed with an ominous light, and he was completely controlled by the power of demonization. The villagers were frightened and fled away from him. Only an old shaman bravely walked towards him.
"Leo, listen to me, you are not enslaved by this power." The shaman's voice echoed in the wind, with unquestionable majesty, "There is light and darkness in your heart, but there is only light in your heart. Only by accepting both sides can you find yourself.”
"Accept...Accept..." Leo's consciousness struggled between chaos and clarity, his voice was hoarse and painful.
At the same time, Lin Feng sensed the crisis of his distant companions, and he immediately rushed to Tusha Village in a hurry, thinking about how to save Leo along the way. He knew that this was not only Leo's redemption, but also a test of his own faith.
Arriving at Tusha Village, Lin Feng's heart sank to the bottom when he looked at Leo who was twisted by magic. He slowly walked towards his friend, his eyes firm and gentle: "Leo, it's time for us to fight the darkness together. Do you still remember our oath? Light and darkness coexist, and we cannot abandon either."
"Lin ...Feng..." Leo's voice revealed a hint of sobriety, and his eyes flashed with a familiar light in the chaos.
Lin Feng took out a piece of crystal that exuded a soft light. It was a mysterious item they found during their journey. It was said to contain the power to reconcile light and darkness. He gently placed the crystal in Leo's palm, and the wind blades around him seemed to feel some kind of harmonious power and gradually calmed down.
"Find your inner balance, Leo. We are each other's light and each other's shadow." Lin Feng's words were like the spring breeze, blowing away the haze in Leo's heart little by little.
After a hard inner struggle, Leo's face finally returned to its former peace. He held the crystal tightly and stood up slowly. The wind elements were swirling around him, but this time, they were no longer the force of destruction, but symbols of protection and protection.
"Thank you, Lin Feng. I almost lost myself." Leo's voice contained the emotion of surviving a disaster.
"We are companions, Leo. No matter when and where we are, we should never forget that we are each other's support." Lin Feng smiled and patted Leo on the shoulder.
Amidst the surprise and admiration of the villagers in Tusa Village, the two looked at each other and smiled. They knew that this was just a small victory in a long journey. And that mysterious crystal not only cured Leo's inner demons, but also seemed to indicate that they were one step closer to solving the mystery of the five trialists.
Just as the sun was setting and the evening breeze was blowing, Lin Feng and Leo were walking side by side on the road back. Behind them, the villagers of Tusa Village waved goodbye, with hope shining in their eyes.
"Leo, where should we go to find the other trialists next?" Lin Feng asked, his tone full of expectations for the future.
"Go east to the green forest, which is the realm of earth. It is said that there is a forgotten guardian who holds the secrets of the land." Leo looked at the distant horizon, determination rekindled in his eyes , "It is said that only those who truly understand the cycle of life and the balance of nature can meet the guardian."
"The trial of earth does not sound simple." Lin Feng sighed, but then With a smile on his face, "However, with you here, what else can't we solve? Besides, we also have Leia and Alvin, and their strength and wisdom will be our strong backing."
Leo nodded in agreement, and the conversation between the two was full of trust and dependence on their companions. "Speaking of Leia and Alvin, they should also be preparing for the water and fire trials. I don't know what the situation is like on their side, and whether they have also encountered challenges like me."
"No matter what, we must believe in them." Lin Feng's eyes were firm. "Now, our first task is to prepare our hearts to face the trial of earth. It is said that the guardian is extremely ancient and has strict requirements for visitors. We need to find the right path and win its recognition."
The two traveled day and night, through the wilderness and mountains, and finally arrived at the legendary green forest. Different from ordinary forests, every tree and leaf here seems to contain the power of life, and the air is filled with a light earthy fragrance and freshness.
"It seems that we have found the right place." Lin Feng said softly. He stretched out his hand and touched an ancient tree trunk with his fingertips, as if he could feel the pulse of the earth.
"I hope the guardian is willing to see us." Leo looked around, alert to possible hidden dangers. At this moment, the ground shook slightly, as if something huge was approaching.
“It seems that our ‘invitation’ has arrived.” Lin Feng smiled, drew his sword, and prepared to deal with possible challenges.
The earth cracked open, and a huge stone giant rose from it. Its eyes seemed to be able to see into people's hearts. "Outsiders, why are you disturbing my sleep?" The stone giant's voice was like a mountain falling apart, deafening.
Leo took a step forward and said calmly: "We are the messengers of light, seeking the trial of earth to balance the light and darkness of the world. Please tell us how to see the guardian." ( End of chapter)
