Boom! Boom! Boom...
The church bells once again echoed in this small town.
The old priest and the young believer finished their long prayer and slowly opened their eyes.
"...Nechad, it's time to leave."
"Yes, Father."
The old man and the young boy turned around, crossed the short corridor, and walked quietly outside.
After leaving the church, the young believers quickly found an opportunity to slip away.
The old priest just shook his head slightly and did not interfere. He was not a harsh person and would only become a little excited when it came to matters concerning the god he believed in.
There is still some time before dark.
The old priest walked towards the center of the town.
The townspeople who passed by along the way would greet him in a friendly manner.
"...Hello, Father Krut."
"Hello."
"...Father Krut, are you taking a walk? You seem quite healthy."
"Yes."
"...Father Krut, I have some extra Popom bread here. Do you need any?"
The old priest stopped.
"...Thank you. Please give me some."
Before you know it.
The old priest came to the square in the center of the town.
Here stands a statue of a hero from the past, larger and more magnificent than the one inside the church, but less sacred and mysterious.
Not many young people today know about it.
This hero statue, which is often seen in the center of the town, is actually the same person as the one in the church.
The old priest stood in front of the statue.
Just like that day, I stared at the statue for a long time.
"Lord Hulim, when will you be back..."
... ...
A huge new city now stands on the ruins of a huge city.
As if continuing its past glory, it is still the capital of the empire and is still called Langard.
At this moment, on the tall white city wall of Langarde.
The empress who had ruled the empire for decades and brought the entire world back to prosperity and peace from the trough of near destruction was looking at the sky as usual.
Each time, I would stay for dozens of minutes.
Few people know why she did this. Only some old people know why the greatest empress in history did this.
In fact, they, like her, are looking forward to his return...
The snow-capped mountains in the south of Himlir continent.
boom!
The cat-eared girl in a white training suit shook lightly, and the released aura collapsed the snow on the entire snow mountain.
She opened her eyes and murmured:
"It's not enough, it's not strong enough... We have to keep going, otherwise..."
She slowly raised her head and stared at the starry sky, a deep sadness hidden in her eyes.
Even though the top of this highest snow-capped mountain has made the starry sky in front of us appear more dazzling, it is still far from enough.
The distance between the stars is too far.
No matter how high the mountain she stood on, she still couldn't touch it.
"Hulim...you promised to remember to come back. Don't...don't forget."
An island in the south.
"Brother Lu Ji, it's rare for you to come back."
"Sorry, the grandchildren are a bit too clingy, so I don't have much time to leave throughout the year."
"Stinky old man, come on, I asked you to teach my grandson swordsmanship, but you actually sneaked out to drink. You're just like your master and senior brother back then. That's why I say your Sword Saint's style is not right."
"Ahem, Sister Luo Er, could you please not say that to my face? I am from this generation after all..."
"I'm saying this to you two."
“… …”
"Don't worry, Yamen. You know she's always been like this."
Yamen smiled helplessly, but when he saw the two men's gray hair, the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared.
Friends and relatives are getting older one by one, but I am still young. One day, they will all leave me, and I will also get older one day, and that person...
Yamen looked up at the sky and sighed helplessly.
Where on earth have you gone, Hulim...
In the city where the adventurer's headquarters is located, there is a legendary tavern.
The pub was shabby, the service was poor, and the alcohol they sold was fake.
But the pub is always full of people.
And... ...it is said that no matter whether it is the most shameless ruffian or the most powerful adventurer, no one dares to default on their debt here.
However, even though it is such a pub, there is always an IOU hanging inside that belongs to someone unknown.
Some people say that this is a deterrent. It must be that some ignorant scoundrel owed a debt here, and was later beaten to his knees by the signboard lady and buried in the ground. Even the IOU was hung up as a warning to future generations.
Yes, this must be a warning! A warning to them that those who dare to owe debts will end up like that person, disappearing without a trace.
"Hey, Lilith, is this IOU really meant to scare people?"
"Of course not, that's just some idiot spreading rumors."
“Hey, is this true?!”
"Really? But those idiots are right about one thing. That guy... is truly a scoundrel."
