EBE Chapter 774 Station Wagon
Chapter 774 Station Wagon
The little girl nodded with satisfaction, her hands clenched into fists, as if she was also cheering for the warriors in the distance. At this time, a woman gently embraced the two of them and said softly: "Where there is a dream, there will be a miracle. What we can do is to stay here, watch and pray until they return with light."
Life in the small town continued, but everyone's heart was different because of the departure of Su Mo and his group. They talked and imagined, and the desire for the unknown and the belief in the return of the hero quietly took root in everyone's heart like a spring breeze.
In the distance, Su Mo and his three companions embarked on a journey full of thorns and unknowns. They searched for clues in ancient ruins, fought against nature in the vast wasteland, and fought against monsters in the dark forest. Every step was full of hardships and challenges. However, every night when they sat around the campfire, they would always share their stories and talk about their dreams and ideals. The deep friendship and firm belief made them feel warm and powerful even in the difficult times.
"Do you think we can find the so-called 'light'?" Once, when the starry sky was clear, Jason looked at the burning bonfire and couldn't help but raise the doubts in his heart.
Lin Hao chuckled and patted him on the back: "Doubt is human instinct, but it is this uncertainty that makes our journey full of excitement and possibilities. I believe that as long as we don't give up, light will always be waiting for us around a corner."
Su Mo listened quietly, with a faint smile on his face. He looked up at the bright night sky, and the emotions surging in his heart were hard to describe. He knew very well that along the way, they were not only looking for light, but also looking for themselves and verifying their beliefs.
"Light is not just a destination," Su Mo finally spoke, his voice gentle but firm, "It is the flame in everyone's heart that refuses to go out, and the yearning for a better life. Each of us is a carrier of light, and our actions themselves have already illuminated the way."
The scarred man nodded silently, with a light flashing in his eyes: "Well said, Su Mo. We should not only find the light outside, but also become the light for others."
As the night deepened, their topic gradually turned to discussing tomorrow's plans. Although the road ahead was unknown, there was no fear in their eyes, only infinite expectations for the future and determination to challenge themselves.
Just as the conversation was coming to an end and they were about to take a break, they heard the faint howling of wolves in the distance, foreshadowing the coming of new challenges. But the four of them smiled at each other, and that smile contained trust, courage, and deep reliance on each other.
"Then," Su Mo stood up, his eyes sparkling, his voice not loud but enough to inspire everyone, "Tomorrow, no matter what awaits us, let us greet it in the best possible state. Because we are travelers seeking light, and light will eventually bloom in our hands."
Jason slapped his knee hard, smiling with a hint of pride: "Well said! Let's tear apart this darkness and let the light be everywhere!"
The scarred man followed closely behind, his voice filled with steely determination: "Yes, we are the sharp swords in the darkness. No matter how many obstacles there are, we must move forward."
The atmosphere around the campfire became even more heated because of this conversation, as if even the night wind was no longer cold. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the flames jumped, reflecting on everyone's resolute faces, and their eyes seemed to have reflected tomorrow's victory.
"Hey, have you heard? Our story is spreading in the nearby villages." Lin Hao lowered his voice, with a barely perceptible smile on his face. "Some people say that we are the warriors mentioned in the ancient prophecy, and they are going to hold a celebration banquet for us."
Jason made an exaggerated pose, making everyone present laugh: "It seems that we have become part of the legend before we even found the light!"
"Don't get carried away, we still have a long way to go." Although Su Mo scolded, his eyes could not hide a trace of pride and warmth. He turned to the crowd and his tone became serious, "Remember, no matter what the outside world says, we must not forget why we set out."
The scarred man raised his fist and pounded his chest heavily. His voice was as deep as a bell: "Brothers, we are fighting for the beliefs in our hearts and for those expectant eyes. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will fight shoulder to shoulder with you."
The night talk by the campfire was getting better and better. They took turns telling each other their childhood dreams. Those naive or ambitious visions seemed so precious at this moment. Each story was like a star lighting up the night sky, small but enough to warm each other.
"When I was little, I wanted to be a hero who could protect everyone." Su Mo said softly, his eyes far away, as if he could see through time. "Now, I think that as long as we can give others hope, it is enough."
Lin Hao nodded, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes: "Heroes are not made overnight, they are made by countless choices. We are proving ourselves with every step, which is a heroic act in itself."
Just then, a slight voice interrupted their conversation. The little girl approached quietly, with big eyes and full of admiration: "Big brothers, I saw a sentence in a book that said heroes are those who can face their fears and still move forward. I think you are such heroes."
Su Mo squatted down and gently touched the little girl's head: "Little girl, remember, everyone can be their own hero, as long as you are willing to stand up in adversity and bring light to yourself and others."
The conversation slowly died down, leaving only the crackling of the campfire. The night was late, but their spiritual world became brighter because of it.
"Okay," Su Mo stood up and looked towards the east which was about to turn white. "Take a rest. We will continue to move forward tomorrow. In the future, no matter what awaits us, as long as the four of us walk together, nothing is impossible."
"Towards the light, good night." The other three responded in turn, their words full of expectations for tomorrow and trust in each other.
The next morning, the first ray of sunlight pierced through the mist of dawn and shone on the faces of the four people. A new day also marked the beginning of a new challenge. They packed their bags, and the blessings of the villagers seemed to still echo in their ears, inspiring them to keep moving forward.
Shortly after entering the forest, the sound of hurried horse hooves approached from afar, breaking the silence. A messenger with a dusty face rode hurriedly in front of them and pulled the reins in front of them, causing dust to fly.
"It's you! Travelers looking for light!" The messenger panted, his eyes full of surprise, "Hurry! The royal city is facing an unprecedented crisis, and the dark forces are ready to make a move. It is said that only the ancient source of light can save it all. The king has ordered a city-wide search for you, asking for your help!"
The four of them looked at each other, and a sense of responsibility arose spontaneously. Su Mo said firmly: "We must go. If the Source of Light can really help them, we have no reason to refuse."
"Okay! Then let's head for the royal city!" Jason jumped onto his horse, full of passion.
During the journey, they passed a busy market, and their arrival caused quite a stir. Vendors and pedestrians stopped what they were doing and watched curiously.
"Look, isn't that the legendary Light Traveler?" A merchant pointed at them, his eyes full of surprise.
"That's them! I heard that even the royal city has called them!" The woman at the side was amazed and quickly pulled her child over, pointing at them and said, "In the future, you should learn from these big brothers and become brave people!"
The children stared with eyes wide open, full of envy and admiration. A little girl with pigtails plucked up her courage, ran up to Su Mo, and handed him a piece of dry food: "Big brother, this is for you, eat it on the way."
Su Mo bent down to take it and smiled gratefully: "Thank you, little sister, we will become stronger with your encouragement."
Every corner of the market was filled with discussions and blessings for them. The warmth from strangers gathered into an invisible force that pushed them to move forward.
Finally, the outline of the royal city gradually became clear on the horizon. The city gate opened, and a group of solemn knights greeted them. The leading knight dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said in a loud voice: "Welcome to the royal city, warriors! His Majesty the King is waiting for you in the castle, please follow me."
Passing through the magnificent city gate, the prosperity of the royal city was in full view. People stood on both sides of the street, looking at them with admiration and expectation, and some people whispered:
“Can they really find the light?”
"If it succeeds, our royal city will be saved!"
In the castle hall, the king stood up to greet them, his eyes filled with anxiety and expectation: "Your arrival has given us great hope. Please be sure to find the source of light and save our country from the dire straits."
Su Mo nodded firmly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that we will do our best."
After the meeting, the four of them gathered together to make a plan. The scarred man said in a deep voice: "This time, our enemy is not only the dark forces, but also time. We must race against time."
"No matter how many difficulties lie ahead, as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome," Lin Hao said confidently.
As night fell again, they gathered in a quiet corner of the royal city, gazing at the starry sky, feeling both uneasy and yearning for the unknown.
"This time, our journey is not only for the royal city, but also for the light and peace of this continent." Su Mo's words were loud and clear.
"Yes," Jason clenched his fists, "The light will not come automatically. We have to pursue it and create it."
The scarred man gently patted his sword with a determined look in his eyes: "Then let our swords become beacons that guide the light and cut through all the obstacles along the way."
Lin Hao looked at the three people with a smile, his tone relaxed but full of power: "And I will use my wisdom to guide you until the light reappears."
Just as they were renewing their vows, a mysterious old man quietly appeared beside them, as if walking out of the shadows. His eyes were deep, and his voice was low and full of wisdom: "The journey is difficult, but the true light is often hidden in the darkest corners. Four brave men, you need to find three lost relics, which are the key to unlocking the source of light."
"Three sacred objects?" Jason looked at Su Mo with confusion, seeking an answer.
Su Mo shook his head. It was obvious that he had never heard of such a legend. "Excuse me, old man, what are these three holy objects? Where can I find them?"
The old man smiled slightly, as if everything was under his control: "Mirror of Wisdom, Sword of Courage, and Shield of Faith. They are scattered at the end of the continent, guarded by ancient power. The Mirror of Wisdom is hidden in the deepest part of the Forgotten Library. Only true scholars can solve its puzzles. The Sword of Courage is located on the top of the dragon. Only the fearless can pull it out. The Shield of Faith is on the other side of the soul trial. It can only be obtained after passing the test of the heart."
Hearing this, Lin Hao’s eyes flashed with excitement: “Mirror of Wisdom, this sounds like my stage.”
"And the Sword of Courage is just right for my swordsmanship." The scarred man clenched his fists confidently, feeling confident.
Su Mo looked at them, his eyes flashing with determination: "Then, leave the Shield of Faith to me. As for Jason, we need your strong power as a backup, no matter where we go."
Jason grinned and patted his chest. “Of course. I’m the strongest shield. With me here, no danger can get close to you.”
The old man nodded, looked at the group of young people with satisfaction, and then disappeared into the night as if he had never appeared.
The next day, when they were about to embark on their journey to find the holy relic, the city gate was crowded with people who came to see them off. Various discussions were heard among the crowd:
"Look, where are they going? Are they going to fight the darkness?"
“May the light bless them and I hope they can bring back hope.”
A little boy held his mother's hand, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Mom, when I grow up I want to be a warrior who seeks light just like them!"
His mother stroked his head and said gently: "As long as you persist in your inner kindness and courage, one day, you will become theirs."
Amidst the blessings, the four mounted their horses and set off. As their figures gradually faded away, an elderly fortune teller walked out of the crowd. She looked into the distance and whispered, "The wheel of fate has begun to turn. The contest between light and darkness will be written by them in a new chapter."
As the journey progressed, they overcame numerous difficulties one by one, from taking the Mirror of Wisdom from the Forgotten Library, to taking the Sword of Courage from the Dragon Summit, to winning the Shield of Faith with firm faith in the Soul Trial Field. The acquisition of each holy object was accompanied by sweat and tears, but their determination never wavered.
Finally, holding the three holy objects, they returned to the royal city. The news quickly spread across the entire continent, and the fire of hope was rekindled in people's hearts. (End of this chapter)
