Firefly Journey

There is a gentle breeze outside the window.

Wendy, dressed in a white dress, was packing in her bedroom. Before heading to the Divine Ruins, Lumer had told her that after this trip, they would not linger and would immediately return to the other side of the Storm Sea.

Therefore, she needs to pack her luggage during this time, as she is going to travel thousands of miles and will not be able to return easily.

Wendy, who had never traveled far from home since childhood, carried a heavy weight on her heart. Going to Chestanton would be beneficial in every way, but only she knew what that heavy weight represented.

A sentimental young girl in the prime of her life, harboring many little secrets. Her journey means leaving behind familiar Torreg and never seeing the water lilies by the Loz River again.

Haruko Kaze from the foot of the Yedeen Mountains, the Black Rose of the Sultan family, and the Maple Leaf Dan in front of the town gate will all drift further and further away from her.

Besides the various flowers in the town, I'll also miss all sorts of people. Will my parents miss me after I leave home? Dorn loves sweets, but no one will buy them for him except himself.

No, Ario will, but he has gained the favor of that great teacher, and after this, he probably won't stay in the town any longer.

Ario...

Upon hearing this name, Wendy stopped what she was doing, sat on the bed, stared at the ceiling, and began to drift into a daze.

She suddenly shook her head vigorously.

Going to the Wings of the Machines is an opportunity for him, and it's also an opportunity for the Church of Light. Everyone is moving towards a better future, which is a happy thing. How can he be sad?

As she pondered, Wendy began packing her luggage again. Besides some essential clothes, she also reserved a large space to store the birthday gifts she had recently received.

Among them, the bottle of "Rainbow Flower" was in the first place, occupying the most dazzling position.

……

The Andrei Bar was sparsely populated.

After the extraordinary individuals all gathered in the Yedeen Mountains, the place suddenly became deserted. Ryan, who was usually busy, was carefully checking the accounts at the counter, and judging from his satisfied expression, he seemed to be showing off his glorious achievements over the past period.

Olek was busy going in and out, constantly moving between the warehouse and the counter. Now that he had some free time, he naturally had to deal with the goods.

In the tavern where customer traffic has plummeted, those still there are mostly familiar faces, including the traveling merchant Piero.

"Cheers!" Worstin raised his glass with gusto, clinked it with Piero and the others, and then downed a glass of rye beer in one gulp.

“Worstin, you should drink less. Rye beer isn’t intoxicating, but you can’t keep up with this amount of drinking,” Piero said.

"I'm so happy today!" Worstin laughed heartily. "My fellow giants are checking out, but they're getting their deposits for free. They've gotten a great deal, I have to celebrate!"

The drinking companions at the table all looked helpless. Fortunately, everyone was used to it. This giant's simple-mindedness and easygoing nature were not necessarily a bad thing. Thinking too much and being overly cautious would only increase his troubles.

“Go ahead and drink!” Piero shook his head, took a sip of his rye beer, and looked out the window.

It was pitch black outside the window under the cover of night, and nothing could be seen at all. Piero put down his wine glass and said, "I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."

"Hahaha!" Worstin laughed. "If you can't drink it, then don't! Just say you're going to the bathroom, I won't laugh at you!"

The crowd joined in the commotion, but Piero ignored them and left the tavern alone.

He glanced at the mixed-breed horses, then looked elsewhere, finally settling on a large tree.

There stood a clay figure.

Piero walked over, squatted down, and placed his hand on the clay figure's head.

A few seconds later, Piero stood up again.

“Tell him I will help with this.”

The clay figure slowly walked away, and Piero also planned to return to the tavern.

As he walked, he muttered to himself, "This is also helping ourselves. That guy looks so humble, but he's got a wicked streak. It's a real pain to help him make money without leaving a trace."

……

……

After losing their comrades one after another, the team of superhumans fell into silence.

With the wind chimes gone, Steve, being older and more authoritative, took the lead, guiding everyone forward.

"Uncle, we didn't go the wrong way, did we..." Paninger sensed something was wrong. After Fengling and Lin Yuanran fell off the bridge, they walked for nearly three hours, but no doorways or anything like that appeared again.

This makes one wonder about Uncle Steve's sense of direction.

Steve himself was puzzled. The pointing device in his hand was a very high-end product in the church, so how could it possibly malfunction?

If they're still wandering around now, there's only one explanation: they didn't go the wrong way at all.

"Hidaa, what do you think?" Steve leaned closer to his companion and asked hesitantly.

Hidaya said irritably, "You were the one who led everyone away, but now you're the one who lacks confidence. You're over thirty years old, yet you still like to show off, acting like a child?!"

Steve gave an awkward laugh: "I was just trying to project a great image to the kids... and I failed."

"This has also tarnished the image of the church," Hidaya said coldly.

"You'd better think of a solution! This can't go on!"

Hilda ignored him and moved closer to Finne Roberts, smiling and saying, "Little Finne, I know you've had a hard time and are very tired, but we really have no other choice."

To be honest, we don't know which way to go right now. The church's instruments might be broken and unable to indicate direction. So, could you... do a divination?

After saying that, Hida winked at Fine, looking pitiful.

Jamie Roberts looked at his sister with a questioning gaze, puzzled. Finney, hearing this, immediately said it was no problem; being a kind girl, she cheered up and said, "I'll give it a try."

"Oh! That's wonderful. May the god of machinery forever protect you."

After saying that, she realized something was wrong. Their national religion was the Ancient Battle Arena, so she quickly changed her words: "By the God of War, He has a beautiful and upright believer."

Hearing Hidaya's praise, Finne felt unworthy, because she had absolutely no interest in the God of War, Terragler. To be honest, her profession was that of a "diviner," and at this point, one should say that Death never fades; He merely watches over all living beings in the cycle of reincarnation...

After removing the pendant, Finne Roberts entered a divination state, while Jamie stood guard beside her, his expression cold and aloof, as if saying "keep away."

After a long while, the divination ceremony ended, and Steve immediately came over: "How did it go, honest little Finney?"

Finne Roberts wiped his face: "We...are out."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with disbelief. "We're currently in the Yedeen Mountains?"

After crossing the suspension bridge, the group walked on, and the space ahead became wider and wider. The walls on both sides disappeared, leaving only a dark, open area.

Who would have thought that everyone would show up so suddenly? What happened to the promised treasure? What happened to the ancient god's legacy?!

“Anyway, let’s find a way down the mountain first, or we can go to the entrance of the Divine Ruins and inform our mentors,” Fine said. She wanted to believe it wasn’t true, but the divination result was what it was, and the facts were right in front of her, so she couldn’t deny it.

The group looked at each other, puzzled, and after some discussion, decided to go to the entrance of the Divine Ruins together to inform their respective "parents" first.
