The Hero in Exile

"Moran, you are here."

"I just came out from Roland after finishing some business..."

Since that night, the atmosphere between the two of them has been a little awkward, but mostly sweet.

The relationship is closer than before.

"Want to go for a walk together?"

"it is good."

Lingyu and Moran walked side by side with a fist's distance between them.

Lingyu looked at the ground absent-mindedly, an inexplicable sense of shame filling her heart.

Obviously.

Before he confessed to himself.

Confirming the relationship.

I've never felt so shy when I kissed for the first time.

On the contrary, after everything came naturally, just looking at him and simply touching him made her heart beat faster.

At this time, Lingyu no longer had the dignity of a brave warrior, nor the hostility she had when they first met. She was just a girl who was deeply in love.

"Lingyu, can I hold your hand?"

Moran has become much shyer under the influence of this atmosphere in the past few days.

There were no dirty jokes or direct hugs like before.

Lingyu's face flushed slightly. She didn't respond verbally but just moved her right hand towards Moran.

Moran also understood and took Lingyu's hand.

The two of them interlocked their fingers, feeling the warmth of their palms transfer to each other.

Maybe Lingyu herself didn't realize it, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there was unspeakable happiness in her eyes and brows.

A walk beside the garden is like a poem and a fairy tale.

Moran saw all of this.

Moran smiled. He felt that the sacred and beautiful angels recorded in the church were nothing compared to Lingyu.

……

At this time, there were two elf soldiers guarding the garden.

"Are they here again?"

"Yes, again."

Yes, this job was originally very easy, at least it was before these two people came.

I originally thought that since there were outsiders here, the people would be a little more restrained, but every time I come here it's like a deserted place.

Always sticking together.

"You know, I thought I would get sick one day if I kept smelling the flowers here, but guess what, I found something even worse."

"For example?"

"The love between those two smells sour."

The two elves sighed at the same time. Standing guard in shifts was already physically torturous, but they also had to go through this mental torture.

It's really shrimp and pig heart.

"Forget it, let's just keep quiet. He's an honored guest. If someone finds out we're talking about this, we'll lose our job."

"That's true."

……

"Today the curse will be completely lifted."

"Yeah, now that I think about it, I'm still quite excited. But I must let Vida know how powerful I am."

Today was the day Roland prepared everything, and Lingyu and Molan also got up early and headed to the place Roland mentioned.

The two of them no longer have the same atmosphere as before, but their relationship has become closer.

To put it nicely, they are in sync with each other, but to put it bluntly, they are an old married couple.

"You two are ready, then I will lead the way."

As soon as I opened the door, I found Liv standing outside with a serious look on her face, no longer as naughty and unruly as usual.

The costumes are also much more solemn.

Under Liv's leadership, they walked to the deepest part of the World Tree. There was a team of soldiers standing on both sides of the corridor every few steps.

Even with the lighting stone, it still looks dark.

At the end of the corridor is a huge door covered with inscriptions.

Moran and Lingyu were well aware of the power of this huge door and it would be difficult to open it even with peak strength.

Liv raised one hand, and on her index finger was a ring with a green magic stone.

Liv chanted a few spells, and the magic stone began to glow, and the giant door responded as if it sensed something.

After a while, the inscriptions on the huge door began to dim, and the magic power disappeared. Now it can be opened with a slight push.

"You will have to walk the rest of the way on your own. There is only one way to go and you just have to follow it to the end."

After saying that, Liv stood at the door and didn't intend to go in.

"Aren't you going with us?"

"This is the forbidden land of the elves and only the Elf King is qualified to enter. I can only accompany you here."

"But you must do your best in the future, Lingyu, and...Molan."

Liv hesitated for a moment and gave Moran some insincere encouragement.

Moran naturally noticed that he was being perfunctory but he was too lazy to say anything. After all, the other party wasn't a bad talker.

"Well, thank you for your encouragement then."

Lingyu didn't know why Liv was cheering them on and encouraging them to beat up that old guy Vida. If she didn't say it, she would have done the same.

Unexpectedly, the door closed the moment the two stepped in, and the inscriptions were filled again.

"Why is it closed again? Is there some conspiracy?"

Lingyu looked into the room with some concern. It was no different from the corridor outside.

"Don't worry about all the difficulties. Go and see what's going on inside first."

After a few minutes, a light appeared in the distance.

When you get closer, you can see that it is a circle of light formed by the starry sky above shining down on the sky below, which is dark blue and full of mystery.

The person standing under the circle of light was Roland, but he was dressed more like a priest, and the staff in his hand was different from before.

"You are finally here, ahem..."

"Come on, the ceremony is ready, let's get started."
