Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Chapter 923 Guarding
“This is the Heart of Light, a relic that once belonged to an ancient guardian. When darkness covers the earth, only by gathering all the Hearts of Light can we awaken the ultimate power of light.” The elder’s voice echoed in the empty lighthouse.

"We will cherish it and use it to protect this world." Li Qianqian gently stroked the Heart of Light in her hand, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Back on the ship, they continued to head towards the Land of Ice. As the news spread along the way, more people were inspired by their deeds and joined the ranks of the Light, and the team gradually grew. Wherever they went, they not only spread the faith of the Light, but also helped the locals solve their problems, demonstrating the power of the Light from the most practical level.

Finally, the outline of the Ice Land loomed on the horizon. That legendary land was not only the end of their adventure, but also the starting point of a new era. The merchant sighed during the voyage: "I never thought that my ship would one day carry such an important mission and cross this sea that no one dared to set foot on."

"Everyone's destiny has its weight, and your ship is destined to carry the light to the farthest place." Lin Feng patted the businessman on the shoulder with a far-reaching look.

When the boat docked, a biting cold air hit them, and the world covered in snow seemed quiet and mysterious. They set foot on this unknown land, with fear of the unknown and desire for victory in their hearts. Where is the ancient prophecy book mentioned by the old hunter hidden?

Just as everyone was preparing to explore further, a melodious song suddenly echoed over the ice field, ethereal and full of temptation. Was it a call from the unknown, or a prelude to a trap?

"The singing... came from over there." Li Qianqian pointed to a cave entrance in the distance that was covered by wind and snow.

"The unknown is always accompanied by risks, but for the sake of light, we must move forward." Zhao Lei grasped the key of time and took a step forward. The others followed closely behind him and stepped into the unknown darkness.

The interior of the cave was winding and the air was getting colder, but the singing became clearer and clearer until they came to a spacious underground hall. In the center of the hall was an ancient scroll emitting a faint glow. That was the Book of Prophecy.

"Finally found it..." Zhou Lili walked gently towards the scroll. The moment she touched it, the light in the entire hall suddenly brightened, and scenes of the future appeared on the wall - the ultimate showdown between light and darkness, and the fate of the world hung in the balance.

"Is this our future? It looks both glorious and cruel." Alan muttered to himself.

"No matter what the future holds, as long as there is light in our hearts, there is hope." Li Wenjing's voice revealed unquestionable firmness.

As everyone was staring at this astonishing scene, a deep and mysterious voice sounded in the empty hall: "Are you ready to face all this? The power of light is far more powerful and heavier than you can imagine."

The five people turned around and saw a figure slowly walking out of the shadows. It was... the Guardian of Time.

"Guardian of Time, are you here?" Zhao Lei asked in surprise. The Key of Time trembled slightly in his hand, as if resonating with this sudden encounter.

"I am the guardian of time and a witness of history. I am waiting here, waiting for those who dare to face their fate and pursue light." The voice of the guardian of time was vicissitudes and profound. He walked slowly to the front of the crowd, his eyes scanning them one by one, as if examining them, and as if affirming them.

"The prophecy is now before us. What should we do next?" Lin Feng stepped forward, his tone filled with both urgency and caution.

"To unlock the true meaning of the prophecy, you must pass three trials and prove that you have the power to control the Heart of Light." The Guardian of Time raised his hand and pointed in three directions of the hall. An unknown symbol appeared on the wall in each direction, flashing light of different colors.

"Triple trial? Which three levels?" Zhou Lili asked curiously. At the same time, she felt the Heart of Light in her hand beating gently, as if responding to a call.

"Courage, wisdom and sacrifice. This is the test that all messengers of light must go through since ancient times." The Guardian of Time spoke slowly, and every word seemed to carry weight.

Just as everyone was preparing to accept the trial, there was a sudden noise outside the cave. It turned out that a group of local residents came here after hearing the news. They heard the rumors about the Messenger of Light and came here with admiration and hope.

"It's them, the legendary messengers of light! They really found the book of prophecy!" A young man excitedly said to the people around him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"If they succeed, our land covered with ice and snow will also see light, right?" an elderly woman whispered, tears of anticipation glistening in her eyes.

"Come on, messengers of light! We are all praying for you!" A little girl's voice was clear and pleasant. She held her mother's hand tightly, staring at the cave entrance with determination and trust on her face.

Feeling the trust and support from strangers, the Light Messengers became more resolute. They looked at each other, and without further ado, they each embarked on their own path of trial.

"No matter what lies ahead, the five of us are together and will move forward fearlessly." Zhao Lei's voice echoed in the cave, as if it was an encouragement to his companions and a spur to himself.

……

After a series of arduous challenges, the five people finally gathered together. There was a little more calmness in their eyes and some less sharpness than at the beginning, but their persistence and pursuit of light became even stronger.

"We have passed the trial. Now, please tell us how to use the Heart of Light to awaken the ultimate power of light." Zhao Lei said to the Guardian of Time. His Key of Time emitted a dazzling light, as if it had merged with him.

"Very good, now, let the Hearts of Light merge into one." The Guardian of Time pointed to an altar in the center, and the five people walked forward and placed the Hearts of Light in their hands on it. With a slight sound, the five hearts merged into one, turning into a ball of light shining with dazzling light.

"Remember, true light is not only a kind of power, but also the light of the heart. When darkness falls, let love, courage, wisdom and sacrifice be your weapons." The figure of the Guardian of Time gradually blurred, but his voice still echoed in the hall.

The Heart of Light released incomparable energy, and the entire icy land seemed to be enveloped by warm light at this moment. The ice and snow began to melt, and all things revived. A new era seemed to be in the making. "We did it... The light will always shine on this land." Li Qianqian's voice was a little choked, but also full of hope.

"But this is just the beginning. The battle between light and darkness will never stop. We must bring this light to every corner of the world." Zhao Lei clenched his fists, with unquestionable determination in his eyes.

The story ends with the oath of the light messenger, but their legend has just begun. In this world where light and darkness intertwine, countless challenges and miracles are waiting for them and everyone who is willing to believe in light.

"So, where will we go next?" Lin Feng looked into the distance. He already had the answer in his mind, but he was more looking forward to the joint decision of his companions.

"Go to all places that need light, until the last piece of darkness is illuminated." Zhou Lili's words are simple but powerful, and her smile contains infinite longing for the future.

And Alan just smiled gently without saying anything, but that smile contained his trust in his companions and endless confidence in a bright future.

"You're right. No matter where we are, as long as there is darkness, we will not stop." Li Wenjing's eyes flashed with determination. Her hand unconsciously clasped Zhou Lili's hand beside her, conveying silent support.

The merchant listened silently, with a look of sincere awe on his face. "It is the greatest honor of my life to fight alongside you. My ships will always lead the way to light, even to the end of the world."

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from outside the cave, and a young hunter rushed into the hall, panting and saying: "Oh no, there is something wrong with the Black Forest in the northeast, the power of darkness seems to be stirring, and the villagers are very scared!"

Zhao Lei frowned when he heard this, and then looked towards the place where the Time Guardian disappeared. Although he could not see its shape, he already had the answer in his mind. "It seems that the trial is not over yet, and the real battle has just begun."

"Let's set off immediately. We can't let the darkness devour any innocent life." Lin Feng's tone was firm. His eyes swept across everyone and saw the same determination.

Li Qianqian nodded, carefully put away the Heart of Light, and said softly: "Let us prove with our actions that light is everywhere and hope will never be extinguished."

Everyone quickly packed up their equipment and said goodbye to the local residents. The old hunter held Zhao Lei's hand, with gratitude on his wrinkled face: "May the light guide your path. We will be here waiting for your triumphant return."

The little girl also squeezed to the front of the crowd and handed Zhou Lili a hand-woven ice blue necklace. "My mother taught me to make this. She said that blue represents hope and courage. Wear it, and I hope it can protect you."

Zhou Lili bent down to take it and gently stroked the little girl's head. "Thank you. We will move forward together with everyone's hope. The light will definitely return."

As the ship set sail again, they faced the morning light and headed for the Black Forest in the northeast. New challenges awaited the messengers of light. The merchant's ship sailed through the waves as the sea breeze blew on his face. He couldn't help but sigh: "Who would have thought that our business would become part of the legend?"

Lin Feng smiled and replied: "Every soul that believes in light is a writer of legends. And we just obey the light in our hearts."

Zhao Lei stood at the bow, looking at the dark forest approaching in the distance, and his heart was filled with unprecedented pride. "No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, as long as there is light in my heart, there is nothing I cannot overcome."

"Yes, the journey of the messenger of light is a road of no return full of glory." Li Wenjing stood beside him, gazing into the distance, his tone full of determination and expectation.

During the conversation, the ship had quietly approached the edge of the Black Forest. The cold air in the forest foreshadowed the difficulties and dangers ahead. At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded in Zhao Lei's mind: "Remember, the real test lies in your inner choice. The power of light comes from the purest belief in the human heart."

Zhao Lei was stunned for a moment, looked around, and found that he was the only one who could hear this voice. He took a deep breath, and his eyes became more determined. "We are ready. No matter how powerful the darkness is, it can't stop the arrival of light."

"Look over there, it's them! The messengers of light are coming towards us!" A villager pointed at the ship that was becoming clearer on the horizon and said excitedly to the people around him. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the ship that was sailing through the wind and waves and seemed to be carrying infinite hope.

"I can't believe that the legendary hero is right in front of us." The young blacksmith dropped his hammer, his eyes full of admiration, "I have always dreamed of becoming that kind of person, saving the world, and leaving behind a story that will be sung for thousands of years."

"Stop dreaming, come and help me move these supplies upstairs. The Messenger of Light also needs our support." The blacksmith's eldest sister ordered without turning her head, but there was a hint of pride in her tone, as if by helping the Messenger of Light, she was also contributing to the cause of light.

The boat slowly approached the shore. Zhao Lei jumped down first, tapping the water surface with his toes, causing ripples. His calm demeanor amazed the people on the shore.

"Dear friends, thank you for your waiting and support. What we need to do now is to understand the specific situation in the Black Forest and how to get there as soon as possible." Zhao Lei's words were concise and clear, and his eyes swept through the crowd, looking for a reliable source of information.

"Master Zhao, our fastest route is through the trail through Beiling Mountain, but the terrain there is complex and there are wild beasts." An experienced guide stepped forward, his face full of traces of time, but his eyes were unusually bright, revealing a spirit of not admitting defeat.

"What are wild beasts? With the protection of the Lightbringer, we are not afraid of anything!" A young man shouted loudly, drawing knowing laughter from the people around him. This laughter contained both trust in the Lightbringer and determination to fight against darkness.

"Your courage is commendable, but safety comes first. Alan, you lead some villagers and be responsible for their safety along the way." After Zhao Lei made all the arrangements, he turned to the guide and said, "Please lead the way. Speed ​​is life."

Led by the guide, the team crossed the rugged Beiling Mountain. On the way, they encountered several attacks by wild beasts, but with the joint efforts of the messenger of light and the villagers, they were able to escape danger every time. These events also became a good story among the villagers along the way.

"Look, the messengers of light have helped us eliminate another threat. Their power is incredible!" A young woman whispered to the baby in her arms, as if telling a heroic legend.
