Chapter 1010 Encouragement
“Yes,” Lin Feng nodded in agreement, “Moreover, we need to teach and encourage more people so that they believe that they have the power to fight against darkness.”
While everyone was immersed in planning and longing for the future journey, a breeze blew by, bringing a strange and mysterious voice, which seemed to whisper in their ears: "Guardians of light, the real test has just begun... ..."
The three of them suddenly raised their heads and looked around, but saw no one. They only felt that the voice seemed to penetrate the space and resound directly in their hearts.
"Who's there?" Allen clenched the hilt of his sword and looked around warily.
"Stop looking, I won't show up." The voice was a bit joking, but also solemn. "I am the guardian and guide of many secrets. You have proven your strength and belief. But the next challenge will be far beyond your imagination.”
“Challenge?” Mia asked doubtfully, “Can you be more specific?”
"Preparation?" The mysterious voice chuckled, "Preparation is not only about forging stronger weapons, or practicing deeper magic, but more importantly - understanding. Understand the nature of light and darkness, and understand why they must be Coexistence, and...how to find real power in balance."
The old man nodded thoughtfully, his eyes seemed to penetrate the bonfire, looking towards the distant unknown: "You are right. , Understanding and understanding are often the key to victory or defeat. I hope we can find that understanding and welcome everything that is coming."
"Remember," the voice gradually faded, but remained. Profound words, "Where the light does not shine, there is a reason for its existence. And your task is to find that reason and protect it."
As the words disappeared, the atmosphere around the campfire became subtle and solemn, and everyone fell into deep thought. Lin Feng gently opened the holy book. Although no new information appeared on the page, he could feel a secret power flowing between the lines.
"We still have a lot to learn." He finally spoke with a firm voice, "Whether it is the hidden secrets or the upcoming challenges, we will not back down."
Ai Ren and Mia looked at each other and saw the same determination and courage in each other's eyes. The old man nodded silently, his eyes that had gone through many vicissitudes of life seemed to contain infinite expectations for the future.
"So," Allen's voice broke the silence and ended the night conversation with a powerful tone, "No matter what the road ahead is, we will face it together. Tomorrow, let us start from here The history of this small town begins and the first mystery is revealed."
"There are countless secrets hidden under the dust of history, waiting for the ashes on the surface to be wiped away by the destined people, and they will shine again." The old man said slowly, his eyes seemed to penetrate the curtain of time and cast into the long past.
"Yes, history is always fascinating and full of puzzles." Lin Feng closed the holy book, his eyes flashing with the desire to explore the unknown, "Tomorrow morning, we will go to the library in the village, maybe there are key clues hidden there. "
"I'm full of expectations for this," Mia smiled, her tone full of curiosity and optimism about the future, "Maybe we can meet like-minded friends there."
The night breeze blows away the summer heat and seems to take away some uneasiness and doubts. Although the conversation around the campfire has ended, the villagers have not dispersed. They sit around the fire, sharing food and stories, talking about today's miracles, and hopes and dreams for the future rise in everyone's heart.
“I can’t imagine that such a miracle could happen in our small village.” A middle-aged man sighed, with both surprise and pride in his eyes.
"Yes, I used to think that heroes would only appear in story books, but I didn't expect that there are three of us around us today." A young man next to him answered, his eyes shining with yearning, "I We must also become stronger and protect everyone.”
"Heroes are not only powerful, but more importantly, they have the faith and unyielding spirit in their hearts." An old woman said earnestly, with the wisdom of the years in her words, "Today, each of us has shown He showed his heroic side."
These conversations came to the ears of the four travelers. They looked at each other and felt warm in their hearts. This is not only an affirmation of their actions today, but also an encouragement and expectation for fighting together in the future.
On the second day, as the first ray of morning light shone on the earth, Lin Feng, Allen, Mia and the old man embarked on a journey to explore the history of the town. The library is located in a corner of the town. It has a simple appearance and the door is ajar, as if it is a forgotten treasure box of time.
The moment I opened the door, a scent of old books rushed towards me. Yellowing books and scrolls were lined up on the bookshelf. The sunlight shined through the cracks in the window and fell on the dusty words, making it look particularly sacred.
"There should be what we are looking for here." The old man walked slowly towards the deepest row of bookshelves, his fingers gently brushing over the ancient books, as if looking for some special context.
"Look, the patterns on this book are somewhat similar to the symbols in the holy book." Mia found an ancient book with a strange totem carved on the cover. She took it out gently, for fear of disturbing the sleeping knowledge.
Alan and Lin Feng came closer, the four of them formed a circle, and studied the ancient book carefully. The pages of the book turn gently, and the accumulation of history seems to be awakened at this moment. The information revealed in the text is exciting.
"According to the records above, it seems that there is a relic that can reveal the secrets of light and darkness hidden in the abandoned castle on the edge of the town." Lin Feng read, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"Old castle? No one has dared to approach that place since a disaster many years ago." The old man recalled with a frown, seeming to be searching for long-standing memories, "But in order to have a deeper understanding of our The mission is worth exploring."
"What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Allen clapped his hands, his eyes firm, and his blood seemed to have been ignited by the spark of adventure.
The four of them left the library and headed towards the castle on the edge of the town. Along the way, the villagers watched them leave with curiosity or awe, and talked a lot.
"Will they find the answer?" A child tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes, his eyes full of curiosity.
"If anyone can do it, it must be them." The mother replied with a smile, her tone full of confidence.
The outline of the ancient castle gradually became clearer, and its stone walls were covered with traces of time, exuding a desolate and mysterious atmosphere. The four travelers stood in front of the castle, looking at the heavy door, with waves of unknowns and challenges stirring in their hearts.
"No matter what is hidden behind the door, we will face it together." Lin Feng said, taking the lead in pushing open the door to the unknown world.
The creaking sound of the door shaft echoed in the empty castle, seeming to tell the story of thousands of years of loneliness and waiting. The sunlight outside the door was cut off for an instant, and they stepped into a world woven of shadows and puzzles. "Welcome to the threshold of truth, guardians of light." A faint voice sounded in the empty hall, which seemed to come from all directions and seemed to echo deep in everyone's heart.
"Who is it? Come out!" Allen drew out his sword and looked around, but there was no figure in sight. Only the voice echoed in the open space, mysterious and solemn.
"I am the guardian here and a witness. Your exploration has just begun. Are you ready to accept the test?" The voice faded away, but the challenge left behind was like a seed. It takes root in everyone's heart.
"We are ready." Lin Feng, Allen, Mia and the old man responded in unison, their eyes burning with the desire to explore and unyielding will.
As they move deeper into the castle, an unknown and challenging journey begins. They don't know how this exploration will rewrite their destiny, nor do they know what trials and miracles await them ahead.
But at that moment, the four people had only one belief in their hearts: as long as there is light in their hearts, the darkness will eventually be dispelled, and they, as messengers of light, will lift every veil of the world and protect everyone. An inch of land illuminated by light.
The four of them walked through the corridors of the old castle. The dark walls were covered with rusty weapons and ancient murals, which seemed to tell the story of the glory and tragedy of hundreds of years ago. As they went deeper, a damp musty smell filled the air, as if to remind them that this was once a forgotten place.
"We must be careful, there may be many dangers hidden here." The old man's voice was low and serious, and his eyes were fixed forward, as if he was alert to potential threats.
"I felt a strange aura." Mia suddenly stopped and frowned slightly, as if she was sensing something. "It's like something is watching us."
"Don't worry, we will protect you." Allen said firmly, clenching the sword in his hand and looking around.
At this moment, the wall of the castle suddenly shook, and several stone bricks fell from above and hit the ground with a loud noise. The four people quickly retreated to avoid the attack of falling rocks.
"Quick! Run over there!" Lin Feng pointed to an open door, and the four of them rushed over without hesitation. Behind them, the walls of the castle seemed to be crumbling, with a suffocating sense of oppression.
They walked through the door and found themselves in a wide underground cave. The surrounding stone walls shone with a faint blue light, which was the brilliance of cordierite. Mia's eyes lit up instantly, "This is it! We found it!"
However, just as they were about to approach the radiant cordierite, a low hissing came from deep in the cave. Voice. The four of them looked at each other, feeling increasingly uneasy.
"Who is there?" Allen asked loudly, his sword flashing, and he looked warily in the direction of the sound.
"How dare you break into my territory?" A soft and majestic voice sounded, followed by a slim woman with skin as translucent as cordierite and long hair. Her hair flowed like water, and there was a mysterious light in her eyes.
"Who are you?" Lin Feng couldn't help but ask, his heart full of doubts and curiosity.
"I am the guardian here, the daughter of the snake demon." She smiled slightly, showing her white teeth, and her voice was as sweet as a clear spring. "You seem to have come here to find cordierite, but you Are you ready to face trials?”
“Trials?” Mia frowned, “We have experienced many challenges and will never back down.”
"Very good, your courage is commendable." The snake demon beauty nodded slightly, her eyes flashing with admiration, "But you must pass my test first before you can obtain the power of cordierite."
"What is the test? ?" Allen asked, although he was a little nervous, but more excited.
The beautiful snake demon waved her arms gently, and a picture suddenly appeared on the stone wall of the cave, showing different trial scenes. "What you need to face is a test of the soul. Only by truly uniting and trusting each other can we find the road to cordierite."
"We will go all out." Lin Feng said firmly, with his heart burning. A fire of faith arose.
Following the guidance of the beautiful snake demon, the four of them were brought into a space where light and shadow intersected. The surrounding scene changed instantly, and they were involved in different illusions.
Lin Feng found himself in a forest shrouded in darkness, with low whispers coming from all around, seeming to laugh at his fragility. "You will never save your friends, they will be swallowed by the darkness." A shadow whispered in his ear.
"I will not give up on them!" Lin Feng shouted, his heart full of determination. He closed his eyes and tried to recall every moment with Allen, Mia and the old man. Endless power surged in his heart, and the dark whispers gradually dissipated.
At the same time, Mia was trapped in a cold lake, surrounded by endless ice and snow, and her loneliness came like a tide. "You simply can't face these difficulties alone. You are destined to be weak." A void voice sounded in her ears.
"I am not a weakling, I have my partner!" Mia gritted her teeth, trusting Allen and Lin Feng in her heart. The ice of the glacial lake began to crack under her insistence, and the sun shone through. It fell over the ice and warmed her heart.
The old man was brought into a room full of memories, surrounded by the figures of his youth, and the battles and sacrifices of the past reappeared before his eyes. "You are old and can no longer fight." A familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"I am not alone, I still have faith in my heart." The old man's voice was firm and powerful. His memories turned into a force, breaking the shackles of the illusion and bringing him back to reality.
And Allen is in a fog, surrounded by endless darkness, and there seem to be countless enemies surrounding him. "You can't defeat them, you are destined to fail." The enemy's ridicule pierced his heart like a sharp knife.
"I will never fail, I want to protect my friends!" Allen roared, the sword light flashed, the fog gradually dissipated in his roar, and the light re-illuminated his path forward.
