Chapter 770 Fairy
The tavern was in an uproar, people stood up one after another, excitement, curiosity, and even fear mixed together. Everyone was secretly wondering in their hearts whether all this meant that the legendary day was quietly approaching.
"It seems that we are on the brink of change." The tavern proprietress sighed softly. She looked out the window at the stars in the night sky, as if expecting something. "No matter what the future holds, the story of the four heroes will surely become a legend that will be passed down from generation to generation."
"Four heroes, whether they are real or fake, we will know soon." The sturdy man in leather armor drank the whole glass and slammed it heavily on the table, causing ripples. "If they can really awaken the artifact and bring us light, I will be the first to raise a toast to them!"
"Yes, no matter what, it's better than continuing to grope in the dark." The young farmer next to him echoed, his eyes flashing with longing for the future.
At this time, the middle-aged businessman wearing glasses stood up, looked around, and said in a low voice: "No matter what the result is, this is an opportunity. If the artifact can really be awakened, the power it contains is enough to change the situation, and no force can ignore it. I suggest that we should start preparing, at least to understand and contact it, and perhaps we can benefit from it."
The scarred man in the corner sneered, "Just you? Don't forget, that so-called sacred weapon is guarded by even the most terrifying creatures in ancient times. If the four heroes were not so tough, they would have already become fertilizer for the ruins."
“Although what Scar said is harsh, it does make sense.” An old man in a robe spoke slowly, his wrinkled hands gently stroking his long beard. “The greater the power, the more immeasurable the risks. We should act cautiously, observe the situation, and then make plans.”
Discussions were going on one after another, and everyone was thinking about their own things. At this moment, a light figure quietly entered the tavern. It was a girl in an embroidered long skirt. Her eyes were clear and determined. She walked gently to the center and raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
“Although I’m just a wandering bard, my songs carry many ancient stories and prophecies.” The girl’s voice was clear and pleasant, quickly attracting the attention of the audience. “I want to sing a song about light and darkness, heroes and choices. Perhaps the answer we’re looking for is hidden in it.”
As everyone waited with bated breath, the girl opened her red lips and sang a beautiful melody, like a spring that cleansed the hearts of everyone present. The lyrics tell how a brave man can find the spark of hope in despair, how to persist in the face of adversity, and how ordinary people can become heroes when light and darkness collide.
When the song ended, the pub was so quiet that only the crackling of the charcoal could be heard. A moment later, thunderous applause broke out, and people's eyes were not only moved, but also filled with the fire of hope.
"This is what we expect. The four heroes are not just the ones fighting on the front line. They are also the symbols of the indomitable spirit and pursuit of light in everyone's heart." The girl smiled, then turned and left, leaving the room full of contemplation and discussion.
"She's right. No matter what the outcome is, we all need hope and courage." The sturdy man in leather armor patted his companion's shoulder, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented light.
As the night progressed, the crowd in the tavern gradually dispersed, but each person who left had a different mood. Some were full of hope, some were doubtful, and some quietly decided to play their part in the coming storm.
"No one knows what will happen tomorrow." The proprietress stood at the door, looking at the starry sky, and whispered to herself, "But as long as there is light in your heart, darkness will never win. Four brave men, I hope your journey can illuminate the hearts of more people."
The next morning, the rising sun penetrated the mist and sprinkled on the winding path leading to the northern ruins. The figures of Su Mo and his party stretched out in the morning light, and every step seemed to carry a heavy responsibility and endless hope. In the towns and villages along the way, the residents stopped their work and looked at the four brave men on their journey, their eyes full of awe and expectation.
A peasant woman held her child's hand, pointed at the receding figures and said softly, "Look, that's Su Mo and the others, the legendary messengers of light. Mom hopes that when you grow up, you can be as brave as them."
The child's eyes widened with admiration: "Will they defeat the darkness and bring light?"
"It will definitely happen." The peasant woman nodded firmly. Although she felt uneasy in her heart, this simple belief was like warm sunshine that dispelled the cold.
The ruins in the north, ancient and mysterious, stood in a desolate place, surrounded by weathered stone pillars, as if telling the glory and secrets of the past. When Su Mo and his four companions arrived, the sky suddenly changed, as if nature itself was responding to their arrival.
"This is the place we are looking for." The traveler tapped the ground with the staff in his hand. Ancient symbols flickered on the tip of his staff, as if resonating with the land.
"Be careful, the feeling here is... unusual." Jason gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and looked around vigilantly.
Just as they were about to explore further, a low and ancient chanting sound came faintly, as if leading them to the core of the ruins. As they went deeper and deeper, a huge basement slowly appeared in front of them. In the center was an ancient altar, on which was placed a faintly glowing gem, and around it were complex runes, which seemed to be the key to strengthening the artifact.
"It seems that the clues in the ancient documents are correct." Lin Hao gently stroked the map, his eyes flashing with the desire to solve the mystery.
Just as they were studying around the altar, the ground suddenly shook, and light and shadows appeared on the surrounding stone walls. They were images of ancient guardians, speaking in an ancient language about the cost and honor of using the artifact.
"Price?" Su Mo frowned. They knew the journey would be difficult, but they didn't expect there would be unknown sacrifices.
"All power has a price, and so does light." The traveler said in a deep voice, "But for this world, for the light in our hearts, I am willing to bear this price."
"Us too." The other three said in unison, their eyes met, full of determination and trust.
With their common determination, the gem on the altar shone brightly, and the four heroes placed their respective artifacts on it, and the ancient ritual began. The light gathered to form a powerful energy wave, impacting the entire ruins and the hearts of each of them.
At the same time, in the royal city, the discussion about the four heroes reached its peak. The singing of the wandering poet had spread throughout the streets and alleys, inspiring the courage and hope in countless people's hearts.
"Did they really do it?" Inside the tavern, the scarred man who had once been disdainful couldn't help but ask.
"If we believe in light, nothing is impossible." The proprietress replied with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness and conviction.
Just when everyone was immersed in tension and anticipation, a bright beam of light shot up into the sky, breaking through the clouds, and the entire continent seemed to be shaken. At that moment, whether it was the people talking in the tavern, the farmers working in the fields, or the ordinary people in any corner, they all stopped what they were doing and looked up at the light that broke through the darkness, their hearts filled with shock and hope.
"Look, that is... the sign of light!" A childish voice rang out among the crowd, followed by endless cheers and admiration.
"Yes, that is light, it is the hope given to us by the four brave men!" An old man wiped his tears, his trembling voice filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"I can't believe that we can really witness this moment with our own eyes." The young blacksmith held his lover's hand tightly, his eyes flashing with infinite longing for the future.
On the ridge of the field, an old farmer stopped working, straightened his back, shielded his eyes from the glaring light with his calloused hands, and muttered to himself: "It seems that the world is really going to change."
In the royal city, the king stared at the beam of light in the distance, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes. "Four heroes, your success may rewrite history." The counselor beside him whispered, with a tone of relief and a little imperceptible worry.
The light column dissipated, and four brave men walked out of the ruins. Their figures were endowed with a different kind of brilliance. The artifacts in their hands emitted a warm but not dazzling light, like a rising sun, illuminating the surrounding desolation.
"We did it, and the world will be different because of it." Su Mo's voice was firm and powerful. He looked up into the distance, where was a world waiting to be saved.
“But with great power comes great responsibility,” Lin Hao reminded softly, his eyes revealing a maturity and calmness beyond his age.
"That's right, the real challenge has just begun." Jason gripped the sword tightly in his hand, with a warrior's unique determination on his face.
The traveler smiled slightly, tapping the ground with his staff, and the wind and sand around him seemed to subside because of this force. "We are ready, for the light, for the future."
Just as the four were preparing to embark on their journey back home and bring this light back to the world, a mysterious black shadow appeared at the entrance of the ruins. His voice was cold and deep: "Four heroes, the power you have awakened is far beyond imagination, and you have also awakened the sleeping shadows. Remember, under the light, there must be shadows."
The shadow's warning was like a cold wind blowing through, freezing the air instantly. However, Su Mo and his companions did not retreat. Their eyes became more determined, as if they were swearing that no matter what was waiting for them ahead, they would move forward fearlessly.
"We are not afraid of shadows because we are messengers of light." Su Mo took a step forward, his voice echoing in the ruins, every word full of power.
Upon hearing this, the black shadow curled up an inexplicable smile and then disappeared in the wind, as if nothing had ever happened.
The four brave men set out on their journey back home, each of their steps seemed so resolute, carrying the hopes and dreams of the entire world. People in the villages and cities along the way came out of their homes and watched them go, with no more fear in their eyes, only admiration and trust.
In front of a pub, the proprietress looked at the gradually shrinking figure in the distance and whispered to the customers sitting around the table: "No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, as long as there is light in your heart, hope will not be extinguished. The stories of the four heroes will inspire everyone to become a warrior in their own life."
In a corner of the tavern, the scarred man who had sneered and questioned was now silent. He stared at the wine glass in his hand with a complex and indistinguishable look in his eyes, as if something was quietly taking root deep in his heart.
"If they can do it, why can't we?" A young man suddenly stood up and broke the silence, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination and enthusiasm, "Let us contribute to the light of this world in our own way!"
In the tavern, people smiled at each other, and an unprecedented cohesion flowed between them. The conversation gradually came to an end, but everyone knew that a new chapter was slowly opening with the return of the four heroes.
"What kind of future will this world where light and shadow are intertwined usher in?" Before the young farmer finished speaking, the tavern fell into deep thought again, and in this contemplation, countless possibilities and expectations were born.
As the sun sets, the afterglow dyes the earth golden. The four heroes pass through the wilderness and forest, not far from the royal city. Their figures are reflected by the clear stream, and children and the elderly sit on the shore, following the heroes' footsteps.
"They're back!" A little girl jumped up excitedly and pointed to the dusty path in the distance.
"Yes, look at the light on them, it's even brighter than when they set out." An old man stroked his beard, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction and pride.
When Su Mo and his three companions came into view, the villagers stood up one after another, and the children gathered around them, asking questions in a flurry.
"Big Brother, did you really see the ancient guardian?"
"Aren't those gems scary when they glow?"
Su Mo bent down and smiled gently, "The guardians are powerful, but also very kind. The light of the gem is warm, and it tells us that light will always shine in the darkest moments."
At this time, a middle-aged blacksmith squeezed through the crowd, holding an unfinished sword in his hand: "Please let me make weapons for you as a tribute to the hero!"
"Everyone can be the hero of his own story." Lin Hao took the sword and stroked it gently. "This sword will remind us that courage and hope are treasures in everyone's heart."
Jason was surrounded by a group of young warriors who were eagerly discussing fighting techniques and tactics.
"True courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to move forward in the face of fear." Jason's words inspire everyone.
The traveler sat down under an old tree, and several curious children gathered around him to listen to his adventures on the journey. He waved his staff lightly, and a beam of light condensed in the air, turning into stars, and the children exclaimed in amazement. (End of this chapter)
