Chapter 809 Going to the market
"You're right! We are doing this not only for ourselves, but also for our future children!" A middle-aged man who was once skeptical is now full of enthusiasm. His transformation has made the people around him more excited.

As the night deepened, people gradually dispersed, but the fire in their hearts was ignited. Su Zhe and Novel stood in the center of the square, gazing at the town gradually calming down, with endless longing for the future and determination to meet challenges in their eyes.

"Tomorrow, we will set out not only with knowledge, but also with the stories and dreams of countless people." Novel said softly, her eyes gentle, as if she had already seen the road full of unknowns and challenges.

Su Zhe held her hand tightly, his voice full of determination: "No matter what the road ahead holds, we are no longer fighting alone. Every story, every belief, will be our most powerful weapon."

"Yes," Su Zhe continued, his voice firm and warm, "Our journey is the result of the hopes of millions of people. Every smile and every tear is the force that pushes us forward."

"But, Novel, have you ever thought about what if we find not only knowledge, but... some kind of power that can overturn the balance of the world?" Su Zhe frowned slightly, his worry seemed particularly deep in the night.

Novel shook her head slightly. Her face looked extremely determined under the moonlight. "Then, we must ensure that such power is used for the right purpose. Real power is never used to conquer and rule, but to protect and guide."

As the two were lost in thought, a figure approached quietly. It was the old man who often told stories in the town. There was a gleam of wisdom in his eyes. "Young man, the weight of power is often not in its size, but in the tenacity of the heart that carries it. I believe that your hearts are stronger than anyone can imagine."

"Thank you, grandpa." Su Zhe nodded gratefully. He understood that the old man's words were not only encouragement, but also a deep entrustment.

As the night deepened, the town gradually fell asleep, but the lights in Su Zhe and Nowell's room were bright. They sat around a table covered with maps and ancient books, discussing tomorrow's itinerary and plan.

"Novel, look here. Based on these clues, we may be able to find the key in the ancient ruins." Su Zhe pointed to a marked location on the map, his eyes flashing with desire for the unknown.

“And this message seems to mention an ancient ritual that requires specific conditions to activate lost knowledge.” Novel added, her eyes seemed to be able to see through the dust of history and analyze hidden secrets.

Just as the two were immersed in their research, there was a sudden knock on the door. When they opened the door, they saw a young traveler with an anxious look on his face, but he could not hide his thirst for knowledge.

"I... I heard that you were going to the ruins, and I want to join you to find a way to cure the plague in my hometown village. I can help, anything!" There was a pleading tone in the young traveler's voice.

Su Zhe and Novel smiled at each other. This was exactly what they wanted - to gather those who had fire in their hearts and were willing to work for the balance between light and darkness.

"Welcome to join us. Strength always comes from unity." Su Zhe patted the traveler on the shoulder, his tone full of affirmation and trust.

It was late at night, and the three were still busy preparing for the long journey that was about to begin. Under the dim light, their figures seemed particularly determined, like a beacon in the dark, leading the way to hope.

Finally, when everything was ready, Su Zhe looked out the window at the sleeping town and whispered, "No matter what awaits us tomorrow, we must remember that the light of every heart combined is enough to illuminate the whole world."

Novel gently leaned on his shoulder, his eyes gentle but firm, "And it all started with just one night, a few simple conversations, and a belief that will never die."

The sudden attack of the demons instantly turned the quiet night into a Shura field, with flames shooting up into the sky, screams and cries interweaving. The black wings of the demons blocked the moonlight, and their sharp claws reflected a cold light in the night. They were evil ghosts from Mosa, who took pleasure in destruction and conquest.

Su Zhe reacted quickly, wielding his sword and standing in front of the villagers. His eyes were firm and unyielding, and he was not afraid even when facing a powerful enemy. "Everyone, try to take shelter. We will delay time and wait for reinforcements!"

Norville summoned a soft light to provide shelter for the injured villagers, while her voice had a soothing power: "Do not be afraid, the light will eventually dispel the darkness."

However, the number of demons was beyond imagination. Although Su Zhe was brave and fearless, and every move of his sword revealed the power of justice, he was no match for four hands with two fists, and he soon got bruises on his body. Blood flowed down the hilt of the sword and dyed his clothes red.

"Su Zhe!" Novel exclaimed. Her healing magic was like a trickle, trying to heal his wounds, but it was just a drop in the bucket and the situation was precarious.

"Novel, protect everyone, I will be fine." Su Zhe gritted his teeth and persisted. His swordsmanship became more wild. He disregarded his own safety just to buy more time.

At this moment, a young traveler stood up, holding a dagger and looking determined: "Although I don't know any powerful moves, I can fight! At least, I can share some of the pressure for you."

Su Zhe nodded, looked at him gratefully, and then shouted: "Okay! Then we will fight side by side until the last moment!"

The battle intensified, and just when everyone was about to despair, a dazzling light suddenly lit up the night sky, as bright as day. Then, a group of knights in armor descended from the sky, led by a man riding a huge griffin and holding a spear of light. His appearance was like a god descending from heaven, majestic and intimidating without anger.

"In the name of light, I am Leonard, the leader of the Knights Templar. Anyone who dares to infringe upon the lives of the people on this land must consult my spear first!"

The demons felt an unprecedented threat and began to panic. Leonard's joining instantly reversed the situation. The members of the Knights were all highly skilled in martial arts, and together with Su Zhe, Novel and the young traveler, they formed an unstoppable force.

"It seems that light has not given up on us." Su Zhe smiled while panting. The blood dyed the corners of his lips red, but his smile was so bright.

"The light has never abandoned us, Suzhe." Novel stroked his face gently, tears flashing in his eyes, which were filled with relief and pride.

The battle was drawing to a close, the demons were repelled one by one, and the village finally welcomed the long-lost peace. Leonard walked towards Su Zhe and Novel, and performed a knight's salute with full respect: "Your courage and persistence are admirable. We are willing to protect this land with you and fight against the darkness." Su Zhe supported his injured body and smiled slightly: "Thank you for coming, Leonard. However, the battle is far from over. We need more strength, more wisdom, and... more stories to inspire people and consolidate the will of light."

"Then let's weave this legend together." Novel said, her voice full of expectations for the future.

At this moment, the three warriors stood side by side, with the injured but unyielding villagers behind them and an unknown but hopeful journey ahead. Under the starlight, their figures were stretched out, as if foreshadowing the beginning of a greater adventure.

"So, tomorrow, we must not only heal our wounds, but also tell more places about what happened today, so that more people will know that, although the light is weak, it will never compromise." Su Zhe's words revealed an indomitable spirit.

"Yes," Leonard nodded in agreement. His eyes were like torches, piercing the night. "We want everyone to know that even in the deepest darkness, as long as there is light in our hearts, we can move forward without fear."

The young traveler wiped his face, which was covered with sweat and blood, with an unprecedented determination in his eyes: "I am willing to be the messenger of light, and use my experience to tell the world that even the most humble power can shine at the critical moment."

The villagers around them came out of the shelter one after another and witnessed this scene. Their eyes were no longer filled with fear, but with awe and sparks of hope. An old woman wiped away the tears from her eyes and whispered to the three people: "It's a miracle. You are our heroes and our eternal light."

The children gathered around and looked up at the adults curiously. One of them asked timidly, "Big Brothers and Big Sisters, where are you going to find those ancient secrets? Is it dangerous?"

Su Zhe bent down and gently touched the child's head: "Yes, the road is full of unknowns and dangers, but it is because of these stories that the light will shine brighter. What we need to do is to protect these stories and protect our home."

"Can we help too?" a chubby little boy asked courageously.

Nowell smiled and replied: "Of course, everyone can be a part of the light. Staying kind and living bravely is the greatest resistance to darkness."

During the conversation, a strange light suddenly flashed in the distant sky, as if something was calling them, indicating that a new challenge was about to come.

Leonard looked up at the sky with a serious expression: "It seems that the gears of fate have begun to turn. We must be prepared for everything that comes next."

"No matter what awaits us ahead, as long as we work hand in hand, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome." Su Zhe said firmly, his eyes reflecting the brightest stars in the night sky.

Novel added softly, “Also, don’t forget to record every step of your journey, so that this journey can become a legend that inspires those who come after you. Because every tiny action is an important part of fighting against darkness and protecting light.”

In the night wind, the conversation between the three people echoed in the quiet village, foreshadowing a greater adventure is about to come. The villagers had mixed feelings, admiring the heroes and worrying about the uncertainty of the future, but they believed that as long as there was light, there was hope.

"Tomorrow, we will set off." Su Zhe held the hands of Novel and the young traveler tightly. The three of them smiled at each other. At that moment, it seemed that even the stars were shining.

"Yes, tomorrow, we will move forward together towards the unknown." Novel's words were like a gentle breeze, blowing away the chill of the night and giving everyone strength.

"I am ready too, for my homeland and for the light." The young traveler's eyes became more determined. His growth happened quietly in this sudden battle.

Just as everyone was immersed in the conversation and determination, a young man from the village squeezed through the crowd and ran to Su Zhe, his eyes flashing with admiration and curiosity. "Big brother, are you really going to such a dangerous place? Take me with you, I also want to be as brave as you!"

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd, mixed with some agreement. A middle-aged man patted the boy on the head and said with a smile: "Boy, learn how to protect yourself first. You see, heroes are not made in one day."

Su Zhe squatted down and said to the boy seriously: "Being brave is not about taking risks blindly, but about standing up at the right time and making the right choice. You should learn here first, protect your family and the village, and one day, your chance will come naturally."

The boy nodded vigorously, his eyes full of longing for the future. At this time, an old man from the village slowly walked over, his eyes were deep, as if he had seen through time. "Children, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, remember why you are fighting. Every choice you make may become a seed that changes the world."

The old man's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart. Su Zhe, Novel and the young traveler looked at each other, and without saying anything, they all saw the determination and faith in each other's eyes.

"Now, let's make final preparations for tomorrow's journey." Su Zhe stood up, looked around, and spoke in a firm and powerful voice. "Whether it's looking for the secrets of the ancient monuments or facing unknown challenges, we must keep hope in our hearts and move forward courageously."

As the night deepened, the village gradually returned to peace, but an inextinguishable flame burned in everyone's heart. Su Ze, Novel, the young traveler and the newly joined Knights Templar established an invisible bond between them, a determination to do everything for light and home.

At the bonfire before the separation, a little girl held her mother's hand, looked up at the starry sky, and asked in a baby voice: "Mom, will they find a way to heal all the pain?"

The mother held her gently, her eyes soft and distant. "Yes, child. Because they are here, and because of the hope of each of us, light will always find a way out."

At this moment, a strange light suddenly appeared on the distant hills. It cut through the night sky and pointed straight into the distance, as if it was some kind of ancient revelation, foreshadowing the next clue of the journey.

Su Zhe, Novel and the young traveler looked at each other, with determination and a hint of excitement in their eyes. This sudden signal caused new waves in everyone's hearts.
