Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"We just did what we had to do," Lin Feng responded, "What is truly powerful is our shared will and unyielding spirit."

During the conversation, a messenger came running over and said breathlessly: "Son of Light, urgent news! In the far north, a powerful shadow force has appeared again and is threatening the villages and towns there!"

"The North?" Mia frowned. She looked at Lin Feng and Allen. The three of them exchanged glances and decided to act without further words.

"We must set off immediately." Alan said, the sword of courage in his hand reflecting a firm light in the sunlight.

"The journey to the north will be difficult, but the people there also need light." Mia added, the Holy Grail emitting a soft halo in her palm, as if preparing for the upcoming challenges.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Lin Feng unfolded the holy book in his hand, and turning the pages seemed to foreshadow the beginning of a new story. "Let the light shine in every corner, this is our mission."

The three of them quickly got ready to go, and the people around them gathered spontaneously to see them off, with blessings coming one after another.

"May the light be with you!" "You must return safely!" "Sons of light, you are our pride!"

In a moment of encouragement and expectation, Raymond Lam, Mia and Alan set out on their journey again, heading towards the unknown north. Their backs, stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, are like unwavering faith, illuminating the road of hope.

"North, here we come." Alan whispered, his tone full of determination.

"Yes," Mia agreed softly, "No matter how powerful the shadow is, we will drive it away."

Lin Feng smiled and looked at the distant sky, with endless courage and confidence in his heart: "Because we are the children of light, the bridge connecting the light of all worlds. No matter how many challenges there are in the future, as long as there is light in our hearts, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome."

Just as they were about to leave, an old man's voice rang out in the crowd, old but full of power: "Son of Light, wait a minute!" The three looked back and saw a white-haired old man holding a cane with intricate carvings, hobbling towards them. The people around consciously made way for him, their eyes full of curiosity.

"I am Carlos, the elder of Snow Wind City in the North." The old man said slowly, his eyes flickering with hope for the future. "The situation in the North is more serious than you have heard. The shadows there are not only powerful, but also seem to be guided by some ancient power."

"Ancient power?" Mia frowned, the Holy Grail trembled slightly in her hand, as if sensing some unknown call.

"Yes." Carlos nodded, took out an old map from his robe and spread it out in front of them. "On this ancient map, it is marked that there is a secret place hidden deep in the north that is unknown to the world. It is said that there is an ancient existence sealed there that can subvert the world. I am worried that this shadow invasion may be related to this."

"We can't let such a power revive." Lin Feng held the holy book tightly and said firmly, "We must rush to the North as soon as possible to uncover the truth of all this."

"Elder, do you have any suggestions?" Alan asked, his sword still unsheathed, ready to deal with any unexpected eventuality.

Carlos pondered for a moment and pointed to a small town covered in snow on the map: "That is the only way to the secret realm, and it is also the place where the shadow is most rampant. You can find a landmark called 'Eye of Snow' there. It is said that it can guide the direction and help you enter the secret realm."

After hearing this, many people in the crowd whispered to each other with worried expressions. A young female warrior squeezed to the front and said anxiously: "Please be careful. The severe cold and storms in the north can easily take away lives, not to mention those ferocious shadow creatures."

"Thank you for your reminder. We will pay attention to it." Mia responded gently, and her holy grail emitted a brighter light, bringing a touch of warmth to the surroundings.

Under the reluctant gaze of the crowd, Lin Feng, Mia and Allen set out on their journey again. This time, they not only shouldered the mission of defeating the shadow, but also the responsibility of unlocking the ancient secret. Every step they took seemed particularly heavy, yet full of a sense of mission.

On the way, they met an old businessman who was on his way to the market. Looking at their hurried figures, the old businessman couldn't help but sigh: "It's great to be young, to dare to face such a difficult challenge. May the gods bless you, sons of light."

"Thank you for your blessing." Lin Feng responded with a smile, but in his heart he couldn't help but think about the true meaning of this journey. They were not just fighting, but also looking for the balance between light and darkness, and protecting the hearts that longed for light in every world.

As night fell, they found a safe place to rest. Beside the campfire, Alan looked at the dancing flames and said, "The secrets of the North, the ancient seal, all of this sounds like an ancient legend. Can we really solve all of this?"

Mia put her hand on his shoulder and comforted him, "Aren't we here for moments like this? No matter what the road ahead holds, as long as we're together, there's nothing we can't overcome."

Lin Feng pulled out a blank page from the holy book and touched it with his fingertips. Suddenly, complex patterns and words appeared on the blank page, as if it was a guide. "It seems that the holy book is also guiding us." He said softly.

Just as they were discussing the next plan, the sky in the distance suddenly lit up with an ominous dark red. The color seeped into the night sky like blood, making people feel chilly.

"Is this... the power of shadow gathering?" Alan stood up and tightened his grip on the sword.

"No matter what it is, we must speed up." Lin Feng said, putting away the holy book. The eyes of the three were full of determination and indomitable spirit.

The bonfire gradually died down and the night deepened, but their hearts were burning with the upcoming challenges. The North, a place covered with ice and snow and raging with shadows, was quietly waiting for their arrival. They didn't know what kind of test was hidden ahead, but as Lin Feng said, as long as there is light in your heart, darkness will be exposed.

"No matter what the future holds, as long as we are connected in heart and hand." Mia softly repeated Lin Feng's words. At that moment, the figures of the three people appeared particularly tall under the starlight.

"Let's go. The mysteries of the North are waiting for us to solve." After Alan finished speaking, they stood up together and stepped into the night.

A few days later, in the border town of Snow Eye in the north. This place is named after the frequent snowstorms. At this moment, it is covered with a thick layer of white snow. Occasionally, a few roofs can be seen emerging from the snowdrifts, like lonely islands. The residents of the town are busy in the snowstorm, with unyielding determination on their faces and hope for the future in their eyes, even though the threat of the shadow always looms over their heads. "Look, it's the Son of Light!" A child shouted excitedly, his finger pointing to the three figures that appeared at the entrance of the town. Lin Feng, Mia and Allen stepped into the town and immediately attracted everyone's attention. The villagers put down their work and gathered around them, with both expectation and worry in their eyes.

"Welcome to the Eye of Snow, warriors." The mayor was a middle-aged man. His voice was a little hoarse in the cold wind, but his eyes were firm. "We know that you are here to fight against the shadow. There have been no outsiders here for a long time, especially people like you who bring light."

"Mayor, we want to know more about the Shadow and the information about that secret realm." Lin Feng stepped forward, and the holy book slowly unfolded in his hands, as if it could give invisible courage to the people around him.

"The secret realm has been passed down by word of mouth among the elders in this town, but no one has ever actually seen it. All we know is that it is hidden in the deepest part of the north. It is said to be a place where ice and fire blend together, with both deadly cold and lava-like heat." The mayor narrated slowly, and the villagers around him whispered to each other with different expressions, showing awe and fear.

At this time, an old man in ragged clothes squeezed into the crowd. His eyes were cloudy but flashed with a strange light. "Young man, the secret realm is not easy to find. There were expedition teams that tried to enter, but no one returned. There is an ancient power there, and... and some creatures that do not belong to this world."

The old man's remarks caused a commotion. Several young men looked frightened and began to discuss in low voices.

Lin Feng turned to the old man, his tone calm but firm: "Thank you for your reminder, we understand the danger of this road. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't let the power of shadow wreak havoc."

Mia walked to the middle of a group of children, squatted down, and asked softly: "Children, are you afraid of shadows?"

A little girl with freckles mustered up her courage and answered loudly: "Don't be afraid! Because the Son of Light will protect us!"

Mia smiled, spreading the soft light of the Holy Grail to the children, and the warmth spread in this moment: "Remember, everyone can be their own light, even in the darkest times."

As night fell again, a bonfire was lit in the center of the town. People sat around and shared stories and food. Lin Feng and the other two were warmly invited to join in. Under the light of the fire, everyone's face was coated with a layer of gold, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly warm and harmonious.

"I've never seen such a scene." Alan whispered, his eyes lingering on everyone's face, his heart filled with emotion.

"It is the light that brings us together." Lin Feng patted his shoulder with a firm gaze, "Tomorrow, we will set off to go deep into the northern border. Tonight, let us enjoy this hard-earned peace."

Just as the conversation was gradually dying down, a young hunter suddenly stood up, his face looking resolute under the firelight: "Son of Light, let me go with you. I know the way to the secret land. My people have lived in the wind and snow for generations and are familiar with every inch of land here."

Lin Feng, Mia and Allen looked at each other, with recognition flashing in their eyes. Accepting more partners who are willing to fight for light will only make their power stronger.

"Welcome aboard, my friend." Alan held the hunter's hand, and a silent understanding was passed between the two.

The conversations around the campfire gradually became sparse until late at night. When the last spark was extinguished in the cold wind, Lin Feng, Mia, Allen and the newly joined hunters stood on the edge of the snow, gazing at the unknown journey ahead.

"Deep in the north, in the ancient secret land, no matter what secrets are hidden, we will uncover it." Lin Feng's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the silent night.

"Not only for us, but also for every child in this world, every soul still struggling in the darkness." Mia continued, the Holy Grail shining slightly in her hand, as if foreshadowing the future.

Alan drew his sword and pointed it at the sky. The light from the tip of the sword pierced through the darkness. "Then nothing can stop us. No matter if there is an iceberg or a sea of ​​fire ahead, we will eventually arrive."

"Yes," the hunter nodded, his eyes firm, "We are the sons and daughters of the North. Neither wind, snow, nor shadow can stop us."

Just as they vowed to go deeper into the danger, a faint and mysterious voice seemed to float down from the night sky and surround the four people: "Remember, true strength comes from within, and guidance often comes from those seemingly small clues..."

The four of them looked at each other, the sound seemed to dissipate in the wind, but left endless thoughts. Was it an illusion? Or some kind of foreshadowing?
"Did anyone speak just now?" Alan looked around in confusion.

"Perhaps it is the whisper of the wind, or perhaps it is the call of a secret realm." Mia gently stroked the Holy Grail, and the light in the cup gently fluctuated as if responding to her words.

"No matter where the divine revelation comes from, we should not ignore it." The hunter tightened his cloak. "In the North, the boundary between nature and supernatural is blurred. We should remain awed, but not afraid."

Lin Feng opened the holy book, and complex symbols appeared on the blank page again. This time, they seemed clearer than before, as if they were leading them forward. "It seems that the holy book has pointed out the way for us."

The next morning, the four of them set out on their journey to the secret realm. The wind and snow became more and more violent, as if nature itself was testing their will. They followed the clues provided by the old man, crossed the forgotten valley, and crossed the frozen river. Every step was full of difficulties and obstacles, but no one backed down.

"Look over there!" Allen suddenly pointed to the distance. A faint blue light penetrated the snow and wind, looming. "Is that... the entrance to the secret realm?"

As they approached the light, they discovered that it was a huge ice cave. The light from inside was neither cold nor hot, but warm and mysterious. The entrance to the ice cave was surrounded by ancient runes, as if it was some kind of protection mechanism.

"What should we prepare before going in?" the hunter asked cautiously.

Mia closed her eyes and held the Holy Grail tightly with both hands. The holy light overflowed from the cup and slowly enveloped them. "With the protection of this light, at least we won't get lost easily."

As they stepped into the ice cave, a chill hit them in the face, but this chill was mixed with a strange warmth that lifted their spirits. The cave was filled with strange crystals, and every step seemed to respond to a certain rhythm, making a subtle echo. (End of this chapter)
