Chapter 827: Two Points
Avril also squatted down and smiled at her: "We will be your strongest shield and brightest beacon."

After that, the two stood up and led the team on the journey to the north. Under the setting sun, their backs stretched out, and every step was so firm, just like their belief, which would never be extinguished.

As the team walked further away, under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, a white-haired old painter was waving his brush, capturing this scene forever on the canvas. The villagers watching sighed:
"This is our hero, the pride of our bright land."

“Yes, the darkness may be strong, but we have light and hope.”

When the painting was finished, the old painter stroked the canvas with tears in his eyes: "In future history books, today's trip will surely become a legend."

"Let's go, friends." Su Zhe said to his teammates, "Every step may be the key to victory, and this victory belongs to everyone who has light in his heart."

As the team embarks on an unknown journey, the scenery along the way gradually changes, from the familiar grassland to the unfamiliar snowy area. Every change in environment indicates that a greater challenge is coming. Su Zhe and Avril always walk at the front of the team. Every step they take seems particularly heavy, because they know that they shoulder not only responsibilities, but also the hope of the entire bright land.

During the journey, they met a group of wandering bards. These artists walking on the edge of the world were always able to sensitively capture the changes in the world. One of the poets saw Su Zhe and his group, his eyes flickered, and then he sang: "In the narrow gap between light and darkness, the steps of the brave are the loudest. They forge swords with faith, use hope as shields, and bravely move forward towards the unknown future..."

Passersby were attracted by the impromptu singing and gathered around. Some of them discussed in low voices, some showed admiration, and some even burst into tears. An old man in ragged clothes held the hand of the young man beside him and said earnestly: "Look, kid, this is a real hero, not a god who is detached from the world, but a mortal like you and me, who has faith in his heart and dares to stand up."

There was an unprecedented light flashing in the boy's eyes. He looked at Su Zhe, as if he saw his future self. It was a yearning for a hero and an expectation for himself.

The team went northwards, and like-minded people continued to join them. Their team grew stronger and stronger, like an unstoppable torrent, washing away every corner of darkness. During a short break, a young blacksmith who had just joined the team looked at the forging pattern in his hand and said to Su Zhe excitedly: "I have always dreamed of forging a blade that can cut through the darkness. Now, I have found a reason to fight for it."

"It's not just you," Su Zhe responded with a smile, "Everyone has a fire in their heart. When these millions of fires gather together, there will be no more haze in the bright land."

The journey was full of hardships, but with the joint efforts of the team, they gradually approached the infested town. However, before arriving, a sudden snowstorm blocked their way. Is this a test of natural power or a dark conspiracy?
Facing the harsh environment, an elderly witch in the team stood up. She chanted a spell softly, and a warm light gathered in her palms, which gradually spread out and dispelled the cold air around. Everyone sat around the campfire, and her voice was calm and firm: "Although we are small, our light has no boundaries. As long as there is light in our hearts, no difficulties can stop us."

After the storm, the outline of the town gradually emerged, and it seemed to be under an ominous cloud. When Su Zhe and Avril stepped into the town, they were shocked by the scene before them - the originally prosperous streets were empty, the houses were damaged, and only the occasional low roar indicated an unknown threat.

A child hiding in the dark looked at them tremblingly and asked in a low voice: "Are you... here to save us?"

Su Zhe nodded gently, his eyes firm: "Yes, child. We are the warriors of the Land of Light. No matter what unknowns we face, we will protect the peace of this land."

A glimmer of hope flashed in the child's eyes. He stepped out of his hiding place tremblingly and pointed to a seemingly abandoned bell tower. His voice was as thin as a mosquito's: "Those things... they come from there. They will come out at night and take away our relatives."

Avril knelt down, gently stroked the child's head, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, we will take care of it. Can you tell us more? What do those things look like?"

The child trembled and described some vague details, saying that the creatures had dark skin and glowing eyes, and always appeared silently in the night. After that, he handed Avril a shabby toy, a hand-carved wooden horse, which was obviously once his treasured item. "Take it, good luck will follow you."

Su Zhe watched this scene with mixed emotions in his heart. He turned to the team and said, "Prepare for battle and stay alert. We don't know what we are facing, but remember, we are here to protect the innocent."

The team quickly dispersed, each checking their equipment while cautiously approaching the bell tower. The silence of the town seemed to be telling of its misfortune, and the echo of each step on the gravel road was like a foreshadowing of unknown challenges.

When approaching the bell tower, a hunter holding a longbow suddenly stopped and pointed his finger into a shadow: "Look! There is movement over there!"

The team immediately became alert and slowly formed a semicircle, with Su Zhe and Avril in the center. At this moment, a monster shaped like a giant bat with glowing eyes suddenly jumped out of the shadows and pounced on the nearest team member.

"Be careful!" Su Zhe shouted, and at the same time drew out the sword of light from his waist. A dazzling light cut through the darkness and headed straight for the monster. The monster was frightened by the light and retreated with a scream, but it attracted more of its kind to respond.

The battle was about to start, and the team members showed their strengths and cooperated well. The blacksmith wielded his newly forged sharp blade, and every swing was accompanied by sparks of metal collision; the old witch chanted a spell to summon a protective shield to resist the attacks of some monsters; the young bard was not to be outdone, and used his passionate singing to boost morale. The melody seemed to contain an invisible force, making the soldiers' movements more agile.

In the fierce battle, Su Zhe and Avril always fought side by side, and their tacit understanding seemed to be innate. Once, when a monster took advantage of the opportunity to attack Avril, Su Zhe quickly turned around and accurately repelled it with the sword of light, while Avril took advantage of this gap to cast a series of light arrows, accurately hitting the vital point of another monster.

The battle lasted for several hours until the last monster fell and the dawn of the town quietly came. There were wounded people in the team, but everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory and exhaustion.

"We did it," Avril gasped, disbelief in her eyes.

"Yes, but this is just the beginning." Su Zhe looked into the distance, his eyes showing both determination and worry. "We must find the source of all this and completely eliminate the darkness."

Just as they were about to return to the village to report the good news to the villagers, the child who handed them the toy suddenly ran over, holding tightly in his hand a stone that was emitting a faint glow. "I found it in the monster's lair. It's very special. I think I should give it to you."

Su Zhe took it and examined it carefully. The stone seemed to contain some strange energy. "This is... a fragment of light! How did it get here?"

Avril looked closer and was equally surprised. "What does this mean? Are there fragments like this outside the Land of Light?"

"It seems that our journey is much longer than we imagined." Su Zhe took a deep breath and looked at the team. "Companions, are you ready? Our mission is now clearer - find all the fragments of light and stop the source of darkness." A low and firm reply came from the team: "Ready!"

Just as they were about to embark on a new journey, a villager came running over and said breathlessly: "There is a stranger who came to the village not long after you left. He has been asking about you. He said he came from the East and brought a key secret about light and darkness..."

Su Zhe and Avril exchanged a meaningful look, then turned and walked in the direction of the person coming, their hearts filled with new expectations and unknown challenges.

"Excuse me, where is that stranger now?" Su Zhe asked, with a hint of anxiety and curiosity in his voice.

The villager pointed to the village entrance not far away and said, "It's under the old locust tree. He said he would wait there until he met the hero who knew the land of light."

Su Zhe nodded gratefully, and then walked side by side with Avril, followed closely by the team. The villagers cast admiring glances at them, and whispers floated in the air.

"It seems that the legend of the Land of Light will have a new chapter to add."

"Yes, these young people can always bring us surprises."

"Especially Su Zhe, with his courage and wisdom, he is a natural leader."

When the group arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a middle-aged man in plain clothes but with sharp eyes sitting quietly under the shade of a tree, playing with a piece of light similar to the one given by the child. He looked up and saw Su Zhe, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of recognition flashed in his eyes.

"I have finally waited for you. I am Lin Mufeng, a scholar from the Far East. This fragment of light, and what you have, all come from the ancient source of light. The spread of darkness is due to the damage and loss of this light source."

Lin Mufeng's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. Su Zhe frowned and asked urgently, "So, is there any way to repair the source of light? And how to prevent the further erosion of darkness?"

"The way to repair it is to collect the fragments of light scattered around the world and reunite them in the place of light. This is a difficult task that requires not only wisdom and courage, but also unity and sacrifice. As for the source of darkness, I know very little, only that it is hidden in the forbidden area called 'Forgotten Land'."

When the team members heard this, they all looked solemn. Avril stepped forward with a firm look in her eyes: "No matter how difficult it is, as long as it is for the future of the Land of Light, we are willing to try."

Lin Mufeng nodded, took out an ancient map from the package, and slowly unfolded it. "This is the distribution map of the Light Fragments that I restored based on ancient documents. Although it may not be completely accurate, it is at least a direction. Your journey will start from the nearest ruined ancient city."

There are several mysterious symbols marked on the map, each of which seems to tell an ancient story, which is very inspiring.

"Remember, every fragment of light has its guardian or trial, and you must overcome them one by one with wisdom and strength. And I will be your think tank, providing the necessary knowledge and guidance along the way."

Su Zhe took the map and felt a heavy sense of responsibility and hope. "Thank you, Lin Mufeng. We will set out immediately to find the fragments of light and uncover the truth of everything."

The team set out on the journey again, but this time they had a clearer goal and a deeper sense of mission. The villagers gathered at the entrance of the village, waving goodbye, their faces full of reluctance and expectations.

“May the light guide your path.”

"Your feat will be remembered for generations to come."

"You must come back, our heroes!"

As the team gradually disappeared on the horizon, Lin Mufeng sighed softly, looked up at the blue sky, and silently thought in his heart: "Will the ancient prophecy come true? The fate of the Land of Light is now written by these young hearts."

At the end of the team, Avril turned to Su Zhe, her eyes full of longing for the future: "In the next journey, no matter the wind, rain or obstacles, we will go together. Su Zhe, are you ready?"

Su Zhe put on a confident smile and looked back at his companions, finally fixing his gaze on Avril: "Be more prepared than ever. Because I know that the light will always illuminate the way ahead."

As their backs gradually merged into the distant horizon, a breeze blew gently, bringing the call of the distant mountains, as if nature itself was responding to their determination and courage. The birds in the forest also joined this unfinished narrative, chirping, as if playing a farewell movement for the warriors' departure.

"Look, they are the messengers of light!" An old farmer who was working in the field stopped his hoe and exclaimed to his wife beside him, with an unprecedented light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, there is still hope in this world." The wife echoed and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. It was a feeling of reluctance to leave and also expectation for the future.

As the team marched, people in the towns and villages along the way could be heard talking about them. These words were like an invisible force, inspiring Su Zhe and his companions.

In a small tavern, the bartender was wiping the glasses and overheard the discussion at the next table. "Have you heard? That group of brave people are going to find some fragment of light to save the world!" one person exclaimed.
