Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

"You are... the Messengers of Light? I heard that you defeated the Undead King at the border, is that true?" one of the young soldiers asked in disbelief, with a tremor in his voice.

"We are messengers of light, and our purpose in coming here is to help you." Lin Feng's friend spoke in a calm but firm tone. His eyes swept over everyone, giving them strength.

"Great, please come in, our city is facing an unprecedented crisis." The soldier quickly opened the city gate and led the way, whispering the message to his companions. The soldiers and citizens along the way stopped what they were doing, their eyes filled with gratitude and expectation.

Inside the city, the streets seemed unusually quiet, with only a few weak coughs occasionally piercing the dullness. The team went deeper, and every step seemed to be stepping on a heavy dark cloud. In front of a makeshift medical tent, an old doctor wiped his sweat and was busy taking care of the patients.

"Are you the messenger of light? Please, save my child!" A mother knelt down in front of them, crying, holding a pale child in her arms. The child's breathing was weak, as if he would be taken away by death at any time.

"We will do our best." The female mage stepped forward and gently placed her hand on the child's forehead. The elemental power flowed, trying to dispel the invisible evil spirit. After a while, the child's complexion gradually improved, and the mother was so excited that she burst into tears and thanked her repeatedly.

"This is just the beginning. We need to find the source of the disease." Arya looked around, frowning.

"The source is in the abandoned ancient tower in the north of the city, where the shadow is the thickest." An old man who seemed knowledgeable whispered, his eyes flickering, revealing uneasiness.

The team marched towards the north of the city without hesitation. Along the way, more and more citizens followed. Although they could not directly participate in the battle, they expressed their support and trust with their actions.

Outside the ancient tower, a cold breath was blowing in the air, and the shadow that did not belong to this world was distorting the space. Lin Feng's friend raised his staff, and the blue-white light condensed, illuminating the way forward.

"Are you ready? We don't know what we will encounter in there." He turned to look at his teammates, and everyone gave him a firm response.

"Forward." The soldier's brief and powerful words brought the team's morale to its peak.

Inside the tower, the battle between shadow and light was about to begin. After one difficult battle after another, they finally came to the core - a secret room covered with ancient runes, with an obsidian emitting evil energy suspended in the center.

"This is what is polluting the city." Arya gritted her teeth, and the elemental power surrounded her body, forming a protective barrier.

"We must destroy it." Lin Feng's friend said in a deep voice. The staff in his hand shone brightly and merged with the power of everyone to form a dazzling beam of light that hit the obsidian directly.

The obsidian trembled under the strong light, emitting an unwilling scream. The entire ancient tower seemed to be shaking, responding to the anger of this ancient power. Just as the light was about to touch the obsidian, a more piercing laugh came from all directions, as if countless voices were laughing at the same time.

"Foolish Messenger of Light, do you think you can solve everything so easily?" A low and malicious voice echoed in the air, and then a human figure made of shadows slowly took shape in front of everyone, its eyes burning with ominous green flames, staring at each team member.

The crowd erupted in amazement and horror:

"That's... a shadow creature?!"

"I heard that they only exist in ancient legends!"

"Can the Lightbringer deal with this thing?"

Faced with this unprecedented threat, Lin Feng's friend did not back down. He stood tall and answered firmly: "No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, if you hurt innocent people, you must pay the price."

The little girl held the little boy's hand tightly and said softly but firmly: "Don't be afraid, we are together."

The sorceress waved her hand gently, and several rays of light formed a shield around each team member, protecting them from the invasion of shadows. Her eyes were firm and her tone was calm: "Focus, our power comes from light and justice."

The battle started again, but this time it was no longer a simple confrontation. Every ordinary person present, whether it was the city guards or the citizens who followed, was touched by the battle, and they cheered for the Messenger of Light in their own way, even if it was just a word of encouragement or a firm look.

"Come on, Lightbringers!"

"You are not alone, we are with you!"

The battle reached its climax. The light of the obsidian began to dim, and the shape of the shadow creature began to blur. It let out a final desperate roar: "This... is impossible..."

With a deafening explosion, the obsidian shattered into millions of pieces, and the shadow creatures disappeared, replaced by fresh air and gentle light, as if all the filth had been swept away.

When everything calmed down, Lin Feng's friend walked towards the obsidian fragments, carefully picked up a piece, and turned to the crowd after thinking for a moment: "This is just the beginning, there are more shadows waiting for us to dispel. But we know that as long as there is light in our hearts, nothing is impossible."

Everyone in the team was in high spirits because of this victory. They supported each other and walked out of the ancient tower together. They were greeted by thunderous applause and cheers from the people of the City of Dawn.

"Look, it's the Lightbringers! They really did it!"

"Yes, our city is saved!"

The team returned to the square. The little girl and the little boy ran to the mother who had just cried for help. The child had recovered and was playing with his friends. The mother smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "Thank you. You gave us hope."

Lin Feng's friend stood in the center of the square, looked around at the grateful faces, took a deep breath, and said in a gentle yet firm voice: "We are messengers of light, and it is our responsibility to protect this world. But remember, the real light exists in everyone's heart. Let us join hands to create a tomorrow without shadows."

At this moment, a strange wind blew, bringing with it an unusual smell. The conversation in the crowd suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to the distant sky. There, a tiny but extremely bright light streaked across the sky, like a shooting star, but brighter than any star.

"What is that?" The little boy pointed to the sky, his eyes full of curiosity and surprise.

"Maybe it's new hope, or maybe it's a new challenge." Lin Feng's friend smiled slightly and followed the trajectory of the light.

"It seems that our journey will start a new chapter." The female mage's mouth drew a barely perceptible smile, and she seemed to always find the motivation to move forward in the challenges. The other people in the team also looked up at the sky, and everyone had different thoughts in their hearts, but there was one thing in common - no matter what the unknown was ahead, as long as they fought side by side, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

At this time, an elder dressed in simple clothes slowly walked forward. He was the most respected historian in the City of Dawn. "According to ancient records, whenever the world falls into darkness, a vision will appear, leading the messenger of light to find a new direction. Perhaps this is the beginning of your next journey."

The crowd was in an uproar again, talking a lot, but more of it was trust and expectation for the Messenger of Light.

"We will continue to move forward, explore the unknown, and protect this continent." Lin Feng's friend greeted the elder, then turned to the team members and said, "Pack your bags, we will set off immediately."

"But where should we go?" The little boy was a little confused. After all, the light just now did not give a clear direction.

"Don't worry, as long as your heart is bright, the way will become clear." The little girl comforted him, with confidence and determination flashing in her eyes.

Just as the team was getting ready to go, a mysterious traveler appeared before them again. It was the one who brought the news from the City of Dawn. "I have been looking for you, Messenger of Light. I am a messenger from the far west, and I have an urgent mission to entrust to you."

The crowd automatically made way for him, and all eyes were focused on the traveler, waiting for his next words.

“In the hidden land of the West, an unknown labyrinth appeared. It is said that there is a power that can subvert the world. But at the same time, an ancient evil force is also ready to take that power. You must uncover the secret of the labyrinth before they do and prevent the disaster from happening.”

“That sounds like our mission.” Lin Feng’s friend replied after pondering for a moment. He knew that every choice meant responsibility and sacrifice, but it was these challenges that shaped the meaning of their existence as messengers of light.

"So, when do we set off?" The female mage was ready to set off again, her tone was calm but full of determination.

"There is no time to lose." The mysterious traveler handed them an ancient map with the approximate location of the maze marked on it. "May the light guide your path."

The team set out on the journey again, and this time, not only the residents of the City of Dawn, but also every village and city along the way, were singing the stories of the Messenger of Light. People expressed their respect and support for them in various ways, and the fire of hope was quietly ignited in everyone's heart.

As the team walked away, the two Changzhe appeared again. They stared at the scene with complex emotions in their eyes.

"Their journey has just begun, and there will be more trials waiting for them in the future." A Changzhe whispered.

"But we believe that once the flame of light and hope is ignited, it will illuminate the darkest corners." Another Changzhe responded, his tone full of expectations for the future.

"Then, we should also prepare and make sure they won't be alone." The two smiled at each other, turned into a breeze and merged into the sky, as if resonating with the endless power between heaven and earth.

“This world always needs some brave people who dare to step into the unknown.” An old man passing by said to the child beside him with awe in his eyes.

"Mom, I also want to be a hero like that!" The child tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes, with longing in his eyes.

“Everyone dreams of becoming a hero, but remember, being a hero doesn’t just involve fighting; it’s also about protecting,” the mother taught gently, her eyes following the figure of the messenger of light until he disappeared over the horizon.

With the departure of the Lightbringer, stories of courage and hope were left behind in the City of Dawn. On the road to the hidden land in the West, every step of the group was full of unknowns.

"The West, what kind of place is that?" The little girl was full of curiosity about the unknown world and asked as she walked.

"It is said that it is the cradle of ancient civilization and contains countless unsolved mysteries." Lin Feng's friend explained patiently, gazing into the distance with both expectation and vigilance in his heart.

"Puzzles, power, evil forces..." The warrior muttered to himself, holding the heavy sword in his hand, thinking about the challenges he might face.

During the journey, they encountered various challenges and witnessed the expectations and admiration of people in different regions for the messenger of light. In a small town, the local villagers spontaneously organized a welcoming ceremony, with old and young women and children all coming out, holding flowers and their faces filled with indescribable joy.

"Messengers of light, your arrival has brought us unprecedented glory!" The mayor excitedly shook the hands of Lin Feng's friends, "Please accept our small gifts. May they add strength to your journey."

In the team, the female wizard sat around the campfire with little boys and girls. She told ancient legends, and the children listened with fascination, exclaiming from time to time.

"So, the battle between light and darkness has existed since ancient times and will never stop." The sorceress' voice was gentle but firm.

"But we are not afraid because you are here." The little girl hugged the little boy beside her tightly, her eyes full of trust in the messenger of light.

"Yes, but the real light must be ignited by the fire in everyone's heart." The female wizard smiled and gently stroked the two people's heads.

Finally, after going through untold hardships, they arrived at the mysterious area wrapped in ancient legends. Before their eyes, the maze was crawling quietly like a giant beast, and an unsettling silence filled the air.

"We're here." Lin Feng's friend took a deep breath and stared at the entrance to the maze, feeling mixed emotions.

"The feeling here is completely different from that of the City of Dawn." The soldier looked around vigilantly, his weapons ready at all times.

"Let's go in, no matter what awaits us." The female mage stepped forward, the elemental power surging around her, illuminating the road ahead.

Inside the maze, there are many traps and puzzles. With wisdom and courage, the messengers of light gradually uncover the secrets of the maze. Every time they break through a difficulty, the long-sealed memories and truths will emerge before everyone, revealing a larger picture of the world.

"It turns out that all this is related to an ancient prophecy." Lin Feng's friend pondered the words on the ancient scroll and seemed to have realized something. (End of this chapter)
