Alliance: A Great Compassion Mantra, I make the whole network autistic

Chapter 710 Ancient Books
"I... I heard about your story. This book... contains the legends about the four sacred artifacts. I thought it might be able to help you." The girl carefully handed the book to Li, her voice trembling slightly but full of sincerity.

Li took the book and felt its heavy weight, not only the weight of the book itself, but also the trust and support from a stranger.

"Thank you, this is very valuable to us." Li said gratefully, her eyes sweeping over the cover. The ancient cover seemed to carry the weight of history.

"We will make good use of this book to uncover the secrets of the four sacred artifacts." Su Ye promised, his eyes also full of gratitude for this unexpected help.

"Your appearance is like a timely rain." Allen said with a smile, and quickly scanned the book with the device to ensure that there were no potential traps or magical influences. "In this journey full of unknowns and dangers, kindness and help are so precious."

The girl smiled shyly, her face slightly reddened with shyness: "I just did a small thing. Compared with your feat against darkness, it is not worth mentioning at all."

"Every star adds brilliance to the night sky. Your help is like the brightest star to us." Li's gentle words made the girl's eyes slightly moist, and a sense of belonging she had never felt before arose spontaneously.

"Then, tell us your name, brave stranger." Su Ye invited, hoping that this chance encounter could become the beginning of a friendship.

"My name is Leah." The girl answered softly, as if this name carried all her dreams and courage.

"Welcome, Leah." The three said in unison. Their smiles were warm and sincere, making Leah feel unprecedented warmth and encouragement.

As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the camp became more and more warm and harmonious. Leah shared her knowledge of elements and magic with the three people. Although her understanding was limited, her enthusiasm and curiosity brought a fresh perspective to this small group.

"If the four sacred artifacts are really as powerful as recorded in the book, then finding them is the key to our fight against the Lord of Shadow." Li stroked the ancient book, his eyes full of determination.

"I hope there are more clues in the book that can guide us to find the remaining fragments of the Elemental Heart." Alan closed the device, his eyes flashing with anticipation for new challenges.

"Tomorrow is another new day and a new journey." Su Ye looked at the gradually whitening east, his heart surging with desire and excitement for the unknown. "With Leah's blessing and the knowledge in this book, we will definitely be able to go further."

The conversation around the campfire faded away, and the silence of the night took over again. But in everyone's heart, the seeds of hope had already taken root and sprouted, waiting for the morning sun to wake them up and illuminate the way forward.

As the first ray of sunlight penetrated the treetops and shone on the camp, Leah said goodbye softly. She knew that her journey was not over yet, but the encounter with these three brave men filled her heart with strength.

"Take care, friends." Leia turned and left, her steps more determined than when she came.

"Liya, remember, no matter when and where you are, the light is always with you." Su Ye's words echoed in the morning air with warm encouragement.

The three of them watched Leah leave until she completely disappeared in the morning mist. Afterwards, they began to pack their bags and prepare to embark on the journey to find the four sacred artifacts, their hearts filled with infinite expectations for the future.

"Okay, guys, a new adventure is calling us." Su Ye clapped his hands, his smile showing the courage to challenge the unknown.

"The light is with us, and there is nothing we cannot solve." Li clenched the ancient book in his hand. It was not only a source of knowledge, but also a symbol of faith.

"Let's go, use our wisdom and strength to bring more light to this world." Alan raised his hand as if taking an oath, his eyes showing both trust in technology and awe of magic.

With firm responses, they set out on their journey, heading towards the first stop - the East, the unknown land where the "Mirror of Light" is hidden. During this journey, they will encounter more unknowns and face greater challenges, but as they said, as long as there is light in their hearts, darkness will eventually be exposed.

And that warm green light - the firefly, still accompanies them, guiding the direction, guarding hope, and indicating that more miracles are waiting for them to unlock one by one during their journey.

"The Mirror of Light... sounds like a legend." A passing merchant overheard their discussion and stopped, his eyes full of curiosity. "Although I'm just a peddler selling groceries, I've heard a lot of rumors about the four sacred artifacts. It's said that the Mirror of Light can illuminate people's hearts, distinguish between good and evil, and even open up a path in the darkness. It's a guide for all those who seek the truth."

"What a desirable power." Li exclaimed softly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation for the upcoming adventure.

"Yes, if we can find the mirror of light, our journey will not be afraid of darkness." Su Ye agreed with a firm look.

"Are you elemental guardians?" the merchant asked again, with a bit of awe in his eyes. "I once saw an old man in a distant town demonstrate the power of elements. He said that a true guardian can guide the elements to bring balance to the world."

"We are trying to become that kind of people." Allen replied with a smile, his tone revealing humility and confidence. "Every adventure is a step towards our goal."

"Keep going, young people!" The merchant gave them a thumbs up with an encouraging smile on his face. "If one day, you really find those legendary holy artifacts, please remember that there are many people in this world, like me, who will have hope because of your efforts."

As the merchant walked away, the three men became more determined to move forward. Along the way, they met all kinds of passers-by, each of whom expressed varying degrees of surprise, encouragement or curiosity about their journey.

“Look, those are the people who are going to look for the four sacred artifacts!” A child excitedly pulled his mother’s hand, pointed at them and said loudly.

"What a group of brave explorers," the mother replied with a smile, her eyes full of envy. "May God bless you and hope you return safely."

"Even children know our goal. It seems that news spreads really fast." Li smiled. She liked the feeling of being placed with high hopes.

"Yeah, it feels like the whole world is watching us." Su Ye joked, but at the same time he also felt an invisible responsibility on his shoulders.

"Don't forget, we are also looking for hope for them." Allen reminded, his eyes always focused on the road ahead, "This responsibility is both pressure and motivation."

Finally, after several days of trekking, they arrived at the eastern border of the "Forgotten Land", which is said to be where the Mirror of Light sleeps. A vast wasteland spread out before their eyes, and the sunset dyed the sky golden red, which looked particularly desolate and magnificent.

"This is it." Su Ye looked into the distance, with complex emotions surging in his heart.

"I hope the Mirror of Light really exists here." Li said softly, holding the ancient book tightly in his hand, as if looking for the final clue. "No matter what, we are here to find out." Allen said, and began to adjust the equipment, ready to record all possible discoveries.

At this moment, a strange wave suddenly came from the depths of the wilderness, accompanied by a low and long chant, like an ancient call, which was both heart-pounding and full of temptation.

"What's that sound?" Su Ye asked with a frown. His intuition told him that this was not accidental.

"Perhaps... it's a response from the Mirror of Light?" Li guessed. There was both anticipation and uneasiness in her eyes.

"Only by moving forward can we find the answer." Alan said firmly, leading the way into the wasteland, with the other two following closely behind.

As they went deeper, the surrounding environment began to change. A faint fluorescence gradually appeared on the originally barren land, as if some kind of life was welcoming them. And the mysterious chanting became clearer and clearer, striking their hearts.

"Welcome, Elemental Guardian." An ethereal voice sounded in my ears. It was neither a human voice nor did it belong to any known creature. It seemed to come from a distant time and space.

"Are you... the guardian spirit of the Mirror of Light?" Su Ye asked cautiously, looking around but not seeing any figure.

"I am the memory of this place, the guardian of the Mirror of Light." The voice sounded again, this time more gentle and solemn, "Your arrival is both expected and beyond imagination."

"How can we prove that we are worthy of the Mirror of Light?" Li took a step forward, his eyes determined, without any retreat.

“Proof?” The Watcher’s voice was filled with a hint of laughter. “No need to prove. The true test is the purity of the heart and the firmness of the will. You have proven yourselves. Now, follow me.”

Following the instructions, they came to a hidden cave surrounded by natural boulders. In the center of the cave, a huge mirror was embedded in the rock, with a gentle light flowing on the surface, like the dawn, beautiful and solemn.

"Mirror of Light..." Alan muttered to himself. The scene before his eyes was beyond all imagination. It was the perfect fusion of technology and magic. It was the ultimate hope to fight against darkness.

"Touch it, brave guardians." The voice of the watcher echoed in the cave, full of ritual. "The Mirror of Light will choose its own master and lead you to victory."

Su Ye, Li and Allen looked at each other, then stepped forward one by one, stretched out their hands, and gently touched the mirror. Instantly, a warm power surged into their bodies, as if their entire souls were cleansed, becoming purer and stronger.

"We...we did it." Li's voice was choked with sobs and tears were flashing in her eyes. That was joy and a firm belief in the future.

"This is just the beginning, and greater challenges lie ahead." Su Ye reminded. He could feel that the power of the Mirror of Light was closely connected with them, and an unprecedented sense of responsibility arose spontaneously.

"That's right. Next, there are three holy artifacts waiting for us." Alan put away his excitement and calmed down. He has begun to plan his next actions.

Just as the three were immersed in the joy of obtaining the Mirror of Light, outside the cave, a burst of hurried footsteps came from afar, followed by an anxious voice: "Wait, I want to join you too!"

The three turned around and saw a young man running towards them breathlessly, his eyes full of desire and determination.

"You... do you know what we are doing?" Su Ye asked puzzledly.

"I know," the young man answered firmly, "My name is Kyle, and I'm a wandering wizard. I've been following the legend of the four sacred artifacts, hoping to contribute to this world."

"It seems that our team will have new strength." Li said with a smile. She saw the sincerity and enthusiasm in Kyle's eyes.

"Welcome aboard, Kyle." Su Ye extended his hand, representing acceptance and trust.

"Thank you!" Kyle held Su Ye's hand, his heart filled with gratitude and excitement, "Let us fight for light together."

As night fell and the stars shone brightly, the four of them sat around the Mirror of Light and discussed their next plan. As the team grew, their belief in defeating darkness became more unwavering.

“Then, our next stop will be to the south to look for the Wind Flute.” Li flipped through the ancient book, his eyes fixed on the next target.

"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome." Su Ye reiterated, his tone full of strength.

"Technology, magic, elements, and warriors from all sides, we are invincible." Allen's words were full of confidence and pride.

“Yes, the road to light is long, but we will eventually arrive there.” Kyle added that his joining has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the team.

As they talked, the Mirror of Light emitted a soft glow, as if silently responding, foreshadowing the future journey. Although long and unknown, hope and light will always guide the way forward.

"Then let us carry on with this light and move forward."

Su Ye stood up and looked at the brightest star in the night sky. It seemed to be the guide in his heart. "We will set off early tomorrow morning. Before that, everyone should have a good rest and conserve your energy."

"It's easy to say, but I'm so excited that I can't sleep." Kyle rubbed his hands, his eyes flashing with longing for unknown adventures.

"Haha, don't be anxious, Kyle. The journey has just begun, and it is wise to conserve your energy." Alan patted Kyle's shoulder with a gentle and encouraging tone.

"I have an idea," Li suggested, "Why don't we sit around the campfire and take turns sharing a story or legend about light? This way we can both increase our understanding and perhaps gain some inspiration from it."

The four of them smiled at each other and agreed. Beside the campfire, the chill of the night was dispelled by their enthusiasm. Each story was like a key, quietly opening the desire and understanding for light deep in the soul.
