Chapter 749 Artifact
When they returned to the Forgotten City with the artifact, they were greeted with not only cheers but also endless admiration. But they knew that this was just a new beginning, and greater challenges and adventures were waiting for them.

"Li Ji, what kind of challenges do you think we will face next?" Qi Meng looked at the starry sky, feeling both anticipation and uneasiness in her heart.

Li Ji held her hand gently and said with a smile: "No matter what we encounter, as long as we are united in heart, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome. And most importantly, we will write our own legend together."

"That sounds really exciting!" Su Ye jumped up, pointing his dagger at the night sky, his eyes flashing with fearlessness for unknown challenges, "Let the storm come even harder!"

Arya gently closed the ancient book in her hand, with a wise smile on her lips. "Indeed, every challenge is a transcendence of oneself. With this power, I believe we can reveal more forgotten knowledge and bring more light to the world."

At this time, an old man in the city slowly approached. His weather-beaten face was full of traces of time, but his eyes sparkled with expectations for the younger generation. "Children, you have proven your courage and wisdom. But remember, power itself is neither good nor evil. The key lies in the heart of the user. Maintain your innocence and justice, and the world will be a better place because of you."

Passerby A heard this and turned to his companions with amazement in his eyes: "How enviable! Not only do they have extraordinary powers, but more importantly, they have the heart to fight for others. I hope that one day, I can do something for this world like them."

The companion nodded in agreement and whispered back, "Yes, becoming a hero is not only about external strength, but also about the choice of one's heart. You see, even the old man has high hopes for them."

Just as everyone's conversation was getting better, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the night. A young messenger ran up to everyone, panting, and unfolded an urgent letter with trembling hands. "Emergency news! The border town was attacked by an unknown force. The situation is critical. Request immediate support!"

Li Ji quickly took the letter, his face solemn. "We must act immediately. The safety of the town cannot be delayed." His words were full of determination. He turned to look at his companions. Needless to say, the four of them had already revealed the same determination in their eyes.

"Get ready to go, we have no time to waste." Qi Meng put away the tenderness in her heart, and the firmness and determination in her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the night.

"Fighting to protect, this is our unchanging belief." Arya echoed softly, and at the same time, her fingers moved slightly, and ancient runes gradually lit up in her palm, indicating that powerful magic was about to awaken.

"Let those who dare to threaten innocent people see what true courage and strength are!" Su Ye raised his arms and shouted, arousing waves of response from the people around him. Their eyes were full of trust and expectations for the heroes.

Just as they were getting ready to go, a little girl squeezed out of the crowd, holding a bunch of wild flowers in her hand, and timidly walked up to Qimeng. "Sister Qimeng, this is for you, may it bring you good luck." Her voice was small but warm, and her eyes were shining with admiration and reluctance.

Qi Meng squatted down and took the bouquet, her eyes full of tenderness, "Thank you, little sister. We will protect everyone, including you. When we come back, I will tell you more stories about courage and love."

The little girl's face lit up with a brilliant smile because of Qi Meng's words. She nodded vigorously, with longing in her eyes: "I'll be waiting for you. You must come back safely."

Li Ji patted the girl on the head and gave her an encouraging smile, then turned to the team and said firmly: "Let's go! We must not only save the town, but also show the world that real power is to protect peace, not to create fear."

The four of them quickly gathered and rushed towards the frontier town, with the people cheering and expectant eyes behind them. They knew that this journey was not only about fighting against unknown enemies, but also about constantly tempering and proving their own beliefs.

During the journey, they crossed the barren desert and crossed the steep mountains. Every challenge made them more united and their strength grew day by day. Arya used the knowledge in the ancient books to solve the mysteries of nature and pave the way for the team; Shadow quietly shuttled in the dark, collecting intelligence to ensure that they would not step into the enemy's trap.

Finally, when they arrived at the frontier town, the scene before them was horrifying: the houses were broken, the air was filled with smoke and dust, the center of the town was in a mess, and the few survivors were terrified and huddled together.

"We are late..." Qi Meng said in a low voice, with a trace of regret in her eyes.

"But it's not too late, there's still a chance to make amends." Li Ji's tone was firm, his presence was like an indestructible shield, bringing peace of mind to everyone.

They quickly launched a rescue operation, while Su Ye and You Ying were responsible for reconnaissance, looking for traces of the enemy. Soon, Su Ye brought back intelligence: "The enemy is hiding in an abandoned mine west of the town, and seems to be looking for some source of power."

After learning the target, the four of them headed straight for the abandoned mine without any hesitation. Along the way, they met several injured villagers, and Arya immediately used her elemental magic to heal them. The villagers' surprised and grateful expressions became their motivation to move forward.

"Are you the saviors sent by God? This is incredible!" an elderly villager exclaimed, and the survivors around him also looked at him with admiration.

"We just did what we should do." Li Ji responded modestly, but deep in his heart he was filled with unprecedented pride and responsibility.

Finally, they encountered the manipulator of the unknown power deep in the mines - a former elemental messenger who was corrupted by dark magic. The battle was extremely fierce, and the collision of elements aroused the resonance of heaven and earth, and every blow shook the earth.

"Why? You could have brought light to this world!" Qi Meng couldn't help but question her opponent during the battle.

"Light? This world has only shown indifference and abandonment towards me. I will use this power to restore order!" The former elemental messenger's voice was distorted, revealing deep resentment and despair.

However, at the critical moment, the combined strength of the four elemental messengers demonstrated unparalleled power. Not only did they defeat their opponents, they also purified the dark power and returned it to nature.

After the battle, the border town gradually recovered with their help. The names of the four heroes spread across the continent and became the objects of admiration of countless people.

After returning to the Forgotten City, facing the warm welcome of the people, Li Ji found the little girl who gave him flowers in the crowd and handed her a gem fragment shining with soft light: "This is split from the artifact. It represents courage and protection. I hope you can remember that everyone can be the hero in their own story."

The little girl carefully took the gemstone, with a dreamy light in her eyes. She hugged the bouquet tightly and smiled brightly at Li Ji: "Thank you, Sister Qimeng, I will be as brave as you!" After this warm farewell, the four elemental messengers knew that their journey was not over yet, and more challenges and unknowns were waiting for them to explore and protect. They stood side by side, looking at the distant horizon, where a new dawn was slowly rising, heralding a future with infinite possibilities.

"No matter what the future holds, as long as we are together, nothing is impossible." Su Ye's hearty laughter blew away all the fatigue like a spring breeze.

"Yes, we are each other's strength." Qimeng, Arya and Youying smiled at each other, their eyes full of determination and expectation for the future.

"But, having said that, this victory also gives us an important reminder." Arya put away her smile and her eyes became deep. "The power of darkness is always lurking in every corner of the world. We can't let our guard down at all."

"Alia is right." Li Ji nodded and looked around at his companions. "We should be more proactive in looking for these potential threats instead of waiting for disaster to strike. Perhaps it's time to set up an organization dedicated to monitoring and preventing such crises."

Su Ye clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, I like this idea! How about we call it 'Sentinel of Light'? It will illuminate the darkness and protect the innocent."

Qi Meng gently stroked the wildflowers in her hand, and after thinking for a moment, she slowly said, "Bright Sentinel, this name sounds hopeful. But establishing such an organization requires a lot of support and resources. We must first obtain the recognition of the Royal City."

At this time, a well-dressed middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, his eyes showing a bit of awe and respect, "I am an envoy sent by the Royal City. His Majesty has heard about your deeds and is deeply moved. The King fully supports your proposal to establish the Sentinels of Light and is willing to provide the necessary materials and personnel assistance."

"It seems that fate has paved the way for us." Shadow smiled faintly, his tone unable to hide his excitement, "Then, without further delay, we will set off to the Royal City immediately to make detailed plans for the establishment of the Sentinels of Light."

The four of them looked at each other, with determination and faith in each other's eyes. Amid the people's farewell, they embarked on a journey to the royal city, with the hope of rebuilding the Forgotten City behind them and unknown challenges and glory ahead.

On the way, they stopped for a rest in a country tavern, where several travelers at the next table were enthusiastically discussing their deeds.

"Have you heard? Those four elemental messengers are really going to build the Sentinels of Light to fight against evil forces!"

"Yes, this is really a blessing for us ordinary people. We can feel more at ease when we go out in the future."

"Yes, I have a relative in the town that was attacked. It is said that those heroes are not only powerful, but also kind-hearted. When they came, it was like light piercing through the dark clouds."

At another table, an old man shook his head, as if sighing, "When I was young, I also dreamed of becoming a hero. Now it seems that they are the real stars, shining in our world."

These conversations happened to fall into the ears of the four people. Li Ji raised his mouth and said to his companions: "It seems that our actions have quietly influenced people. Isn't this a great feeling?"

"Indeed." Arya smiled and replied, "But more importantly, we must turn this trust into practical actions and make the Light Sentinel a true guardian."

As the sun rose and the moon set, the group finally arrived at the prosperous royal city. In the magnificent palace, they were personally received by the king, and after a deep discussion, the Sentinels of Light were officially recognized and supported by the government.

The king held Li Ji's hand and said earnestly: "The fate of the country and the safety of the people now rest on you. I hope you can become a true beacon and illuminate the entire kingdom."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will live up to your trust." Li Ji answered firmly. The four of them looked at each other, with burning determination in their eyes.

At the entrance of the magnificent hall, they stopped and looked back at the road they had come. Su Ye waved the dagger in his hand and said with a heroic smile: "Then, let us open a new chapter. For a better tomorrow, Sentinels of Light, move forward!"

"Forward!" The other three said in unison, their voices echoing in the empty palace, conveying their indomitable will and infinite vision for the future.

Just as the four were about to turn around and walk deeper into the palace to continue discussing the specific construction of the Light Sentinel, a guard came in hurriedly, looking anxious and nervous. "Report! Urgent news has come from the northern border. An important magic barrier has experienced abnormal fluctuations. It seems that a powerful unknown force is trying to break through."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall froze instantly. The king frowned and turned to look at the four elemental messengers, his eyes full of trust and reliance on them. "I'm afraid this is not a coincidence. What do you think, four heroes?"

Li Ji pondered for a moment, then straightened his chest and replied: "Your Majesty, if this is true, it may mean that a greater crisis is brewing. The establishment of the Sentinel of Light cannot be delayed. We are willing to set off immediately to investigate this matter."

Qi Meng clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with determination: "Yes, we must stop any forces that attempt to undermine peace and stability. No matter what awaits us ahead, we will move forward."

Arya gently stroked the ancient rune necklace on her chest and said firmly, "Also, through this incident, we can better assess the future mission direction and required resources of the Light Sentinel. This is learning through practice, and it is also a test for us."

The shadow nodded silently, his eyes flickering in the shadows, as if he had foreseen the many challenges ahead. "I will go ahead and find out the situation. There will always be shadows in the dark that we need to eliminate."

The king took a deep breath, stood up, and solemnly announced: "Okay! In this case, all resources in the kingdom will be open to you. Four heroes, the future of the kingdom, and the peace on this land are now handed over to your hands."
