"Now that everything is ready, I'm off."
There were no crowds seeing him off, nor any tearful farewells. Ning Feng simply leaped onto his tall horse.
Sunlight streamed down from behind Ning Feng, casting a shadow over his face.
Feeling inexplicably uneasy, Charlie instinctively spoke:
"grown ups……"
After a pause, Charlie finally asked the question that had been on his mind:
Will you succeed?
Is it really possible to do that?
Yes, it will.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Feng nodded naturally and smiled at the uneasy pastor:
"We will definitely do it."
This was his promise.
Looking at Ning Feng, Charlie noticed that even though he was shrouded in darkness, Ning Feng's eyes stood out exceptionally bright and dazzling in the shadows.
"Well... I wish you all the best."
"Um."
Holding the reins and pulling gently backward, Ning Feng squeezed his legs together and whispered:
"Walk."
Screech...
With a powerful shout, the white horse began to stride forward, obeying Ning's gag order.
Da da da.
Charlie did not see Ning Feng off as he walked away, but stopped at the gate and watched him walk away.
After a long while, he finally stopped waiting and slowly walked back to his room.
For some reason, Charlie, upon returning to the church, habitually headed towards the confessional.
By the time he realized what was happening, his hand was already on the doorknob.
With just a gentle push, we'll be back to where we were before.
Continuing to repent for one's sins day after day, hoping to gain divine forgiveness, will not change anything.
"What hero who saved us..."
"It's just an excuse."
"That young man was just trying to save himself and leave; he lied to me."
At this moment, a jumble of thoughts surged wildly, crashing against Charlie's will, which should have been as fragile as any ordinary person.
"…………"
Shaking his head to dispel these chaotic thoughts, Charlie regained his composure.
After a moment's hesitation, he did not go to the listener's seat, but instead sat in the room of the redeemer on the other side.
Sitting in the enclosed space where no one was watching, Charlie's shoulders relaxed, and he slowly closed his eyes.
"I hope... you can keep your promise."
"Let us be able to usher in a true end."
After a long period of time, and now that faith has decayed and crumbled.
Is what Charlie truly seeks, as he claims, to live for the villagers?
Perhaps.
But it certainly wasn't as sustaining as he claimed.
There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart.
Now that his endless anger has subsided over a long period of time, he doesn't even have much hatred for the gods anymore.
He craved death.
Charlie longed for a death that would allow him to finally find peace.
He was really tired.
He hoped that someone could sever this long-cherished wish that had entangled him for thousands of years.
Charlie pinned his hopes on a mysterious traveler he had only met for one night.
He sensed something else from him.
That was an intuition.
Perhaps, all of this can truly come to an end here.
"Just wait a little longer."
This time, he did not meditate.
Exhausted, he entered the room of the penitent and, leaning against the wooden door, drifted into a dream.
A long-awaited dream.
His body also underwent subtle changes in the darkness.
The aura of death appeared and disappeared intermittently.
...
...
Shortly after Ning Feng set off from Greywater Town on horseback, he silently pushed open a crack in the door of the room where he had knocked before.
Behind the door, a peering gaze silently watched his leisurely departing figure.
The voice hiding behind the door silently watched Ning Feng walk away, and did not show itself until his figure completely disappeared.
"…………"
I simply observed, analyzed with a scrutinizing eye, and pondered the true meaning hidden beneath his facade.
How did he overcome his disadvantages?
How did someone manage to walk out of the necromancer's room unscathed?
"What were those wails and roars that came from the room last night?"
How did they develop their current relationship?
The others' respectful demeanor didn't suggest they had been bewitched.
"…………"
not understand.
This thing holds secrets, and the more you try to uncover them, the more you'll discover what's hidden.
It's never going to end.
"...You need to keep up with him to learn more."
The door opened wider, and a somewhat thin figure squeezed out.
Unnoticed by anyone else, the figure evaded all eyes in the village, disappearing into the shadows.
They silently followed the hoofprints and also left Greywater Town.
...
...
Walking along the cleared forest path, Ning Feng let the white horse move forward on its own. The map was already in his mind, and he only needed to correct the direction of the horse's head when necessary.
He was crossing his arms, pondering a very serious question:
"What should I do as a novice adventurer?"
Good question!
Despite bearing the arduous mission of saving these unfortunate people, Ning Feng still felt a sense of mission.
Unfortunately, Jasmine's home is not a very humane operation.
When Ning Feng proactively switched from a visual novel to an RPG, the other party didn't thoughtfully change the quest prompts.
