Crane tail salted fish from the Academy of the Brave

Chapter 867 Visitors to the Lightless Forest

What we saw at the end of the long journey was a dark forest with no end in sight.

Luo Lun couldn't estimate how far it was from the academy.But even if we say this is the end of the world, there won't be any problem.

"Heh, is this the final stage? It's really unpretentious in terms of the style of the Golden City."

The "Phantom" with Shiya's appearance did not disappear, but was always by Lauren's side, continuing to make sarcastic comments about everything he saw on the road.And Laurent didn't pay much attention to her existence, he just regarded her as the embodiment of his confusion.

"There are actually humans here...is this forest protecting them?"

Before approaching the edge of the forest, Lauren saw what looked like a village.This place has not been hit by disasters, and the humans who settled here still lead a peaceful life as usual.

"Not everyone needs to be saved, right?"

With uneasiness and doubts, Lauren slowly approached the village-like place.But before he could see clearly who was there, he was stopped by a passing villager.

"I've never seen you before, young man. Are you a traveler?"

"Ah, yes...I'm here for a trip."

"It's a trip. There's nothing interesting to see in a place like this."

The male villager who looked a little older looked at Luo Lun for a while, and then shook his head as if he was troubled.Perhaps because he hadn't seen outsiders for so long, he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about Lauren's arrival.

"If you want to lure us to other places, or plan to trade with us, then give up. We are just abandoned wanderers who just want to spend the rest of our lives quietly here."

"No, I just..."

The villager, who didn't really intend to talk to Lauren too much, waved his hands and left alone.Laurent stared at his leaving figure, lost in thought for some reason.

"What do you think the meaning of their lives is?"

A voice that was completely the same as Shi Ya's sounded in his ears again, but this time Luo Lun did not react immediately.He remained in a thoughtful posture, as if he hadn't heard anyone talking to him at all.

"Not everyone's life is so spectacular, and some people don't expect that kind of life at all. If disaster does happen, they will just accept it silently."

"Then what is the meaning of these weak people's survival...?"

"Not everyone is born with a strong heart and an unyielding will, but they or their descendants will one day realize their weakness and eventually embark on the road to becoming strong."

Precisely because even the weakest beings possess "possibility", they still have the qualifications to continue as living beings, and this may be the reason why the Golden City accommodates humans.

"It's a pity that many people don't realize that this is an opportunity to change their destiny, and no one guides them to the right path. So when Ye Ying steps up, they blindly believe that he is their savior."

"I can't change that."

"Of course you idiot, you have neither the ability to lead others nor the desire to dominate others. Even if you are not an egoist at all, you should know by now that your good intentions can't save others, right? "

Of course Lauren knows the answer to this question. If you want to change the fate of others, you can't just talk about it.Only those with a rock-solid will, the awareness to take all responsibilities, and the willingness to sacrifice selfish desires to become leaders can guide the weak to break free from their shackles and embrace a broader future.

But Lauren wasn't suited for this kind of thing.

"You also know who the person is who is really suitable for this role, but he is now going down the wrong path."

"I understand."

The confusion in Lauren's eyes gradually faded away. Although it did not completely disappear, it was reduced by most of it.Seeing this change, "Phantom" smiled meaningfully, and rarely said anything sarcastic.

"It's time to go see Ming Ye."

There was no need to enter the village and disturb other people. Lauren turned around and took steps towards the deep forest.He wanted to find Ming Ye and get the last fragment he was looking for.After getting the answer, he could see the true side of those two people.

Although there is no way to become a hero, there are still things that one can do.

"...Go on, remember what I once said, don't give up your own wishes for irrelevant things."

The voice of "Phantom" seemed to gradually fade away from his ears, and Lauren realized that this was just a temporary separation.Although he always thought that it was just a reflection of his own heart, he always had the illusion that it was actually Shi Ya herself.

Looking at Lauren's back walking towards the forest, the smile on "Phantom"'s face slowly faded.She slowly turned her head and stared in the direction she came from.Although nothing can be seen there now, it seems that something huge is slowly approaching.

"Hmph, it seems that we must buy that guy some time."

With a gentle wave of his hand, he summoned several silver-white staffs that looked like clock hands, and the exquisite spell emblems like dials were reflected on the back.Time and space around him were twisted and twisted in confusion, and the originally slightly illusory figure gradually solidified.

She is not a phantom at all, but has used some ingenious means to disguise herself as the time and space witch.

"Instructions from the Dean of the Academy, the field troops are dispatched now, and the destination coordinates have been sent."

"Understood, the field team will be led by Mr. Norcott and Miss Farm, and is expected to arrive at the target location within forty hours. 』

"The operational goal is the abnormal belief cluster centered on Ye Ying to prepare them to fight against belief pollution."

Laurent is not the only one who has set the end point here. Ye Ying, who has absorbed a lot of twisted beliefs and intends to eliminate the source of the "disaster", is also heading here.

Although Laurent has arrived at his destination ahead of schedule, he still has several tests to pass one by one.So Shi Ya wants to hold Ye Ying back here and buy Luo Lun enough time to complete the final trial.

After that, it was the point of divergence of fate.

"Okay, it's time for me to work again."

The fire of uncontrollable rage burned fiercely, making the soul of the man who rebelled against fate shine brightly.And her target is no longer those ordinary humans, but the aloof rulers and spectators who have been quietly weaving the fate of everyone since the distant past.

"I'm looking forward to the moment when you reveal your flaws... the capital of gold."
