"Indeed." Aiden nodded in agreement, "And if the Book of Heaven is as magical as the legend says, it may be able to guide us to discover the true intention behind this incident."
After many twists and turns, when the three of them stood at the entrance of Moon Shadow Valley, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them. Under the moonlight, the valley was filled with mist, and the rocks glowed with a strange light, as if every stone was telling an ancient secret.
"Is this the Moon Shadow Valley? It feels like everything here is flowing and yet still." Lin Feng whispered.
"The natural magic here is very powerful, we must be careful." Xiaoya looked around vigilantly, her arrow already on the string, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Soon after entering the valley, they encountered their first test - a seemingly calm but dangerous water area. Under the water, countless phantoms were swimming, and if they were not careful, they would fall into an endless illusion.
"This water seems to be affected by some kind of magic, making it difficult for ordinary objects to cross." Aiden opened the book of wisdom and looked for a solution.
"Let me try." Lin Feng stepped forward and inserted the sword of light into the water. Wherever the tip of the sword touched, the water surface slowly parted, forming a passage.
"Good opportunity, let's go!" Xiaoya urged, and the three of them quickly passed through the water, with their backs restored to their original state, as if the miracle just now had never happened.
After a series of challenges, including solving ancient puzzles and fighting phantom creatures, they finally came to a secret cave. The inner walls of the cave were engraved with simple words and symbols, and a book distributed in the center was placed.
An ancient book with soft light - the Book of Heaven.
"We found it." Lin Feng said softly, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled. The hardships along the way seemed to be worth it at this moment.
Just as Aiden was carefully flipping through the Book of Heaven, looking for the answers they needed, a dazzling light suddenly emitted from the book and enveloped them. The light dissipated, and the three of them were surprised to find that they seemed to have some mysterious connection with the Book of Heaven.
"It...it's communicating with us." Xiaoya's voice was filled with disbelief.
"Yes, it is not only a book, but also a treasure house of knowledge and wisdom." Aiden's eyes lit up, and he could feel unprecedented knowledge pouring into his mind.
"Our time is limited and we must find a way to fight against the dark forces as soon as possible." Lin Feng reminded, their expressions were serious and focused.
Under the guidance of the Book of Heaven, the three learned a crucial clue - the real enemy was hidden in the historical shadows of the Kingdom of Light. It was an ancient sect that had long been forgotten. They attempted to use dark magic to usurp the Queen's power.
Power, control over the entire kingdom.
"We must act before them and expose their true colors." Aiden said firmly.
"But how to determine who is the real friend and who is the potential enemy?" Xiaoya frowned, this problem is complicated and thorny.
"The Book of Heaven tells us that the truth is hidden where light and darkness meet." Lin Feng said thoughtfully, "Maybe the answer lies in a place we are familiar with."
"Then let's work separately," Lin Feng suggested. "Aiden, you use your wisdom and knowledge of the heavenly book to find clues and characteristics of the ancient sect from historical documents. Xiaoya, your sensitivity and connection with nature allow us to
You know almost everything in the Kingdom of Light. You are responsible for monitoring every little movement in the city and paying attention to any words and deeds related to the ancient sect. As for me, I will stay with the queen to ensure her safety and start investigating from the inside.
"
"Okay, but we must keep communication open. If we discover anything, we will notify the other party immediately." Xiaoya nodded in agreement, determination flashing in her eyes.
They quickly dispersed and followed their plans. Aiden was deep in the royal library, surrounded by layers of ancient books. The occasional sound of turning books and his low self-talk intertwined into a unique melody. A man who walked in by chance
Seeing Aiden's focused look, the librarian couldn't help but sigh: "What a rare scholar. His focused look makes it seem like he is the only one left in the world with books."
Xiaoya is like a ghost, traveling through markets, taverns, and even the dark corners of the palace. She cooperates with a smart owl, communicates in a language that only they can understand, and collects intelligence. A street vendor walks around after Xiaoya leaves.
, muttering to the person next to him: "That girl is not simple, her eyes seem to be able to see through the clouds and see the back of the moon."
Lin Feng appeared more alert in the palace. His presence made the guards around him feel at ease, and at the same time they couldn't help but feel a little more respectful. A guard said to his companions during the changing of the guard: "Following Captain Lin always makes people feel good."
An inexplicable sense of security, as if as long as he is here, the walls of the Kingdom of Light will never collapse."
A few days later, the three reunited, and each brought important discoveries. Aiden discovered the iconic code of the ancient sect through the hints in the Book of Heaven; Xiaoya learned about a mysterious secret through her news network.
Information about the gathering; Lin Feng noticed from the subtle changes within the palace that several seemingly loyal officials actually hid ulterior secrets.
"The party is tonight, and the location is an abandoned old church, located on the outskirts of the city." Xiaoya reported the latest information.
"Very good, that's a good time for us to take advantage of them." Lin Feng's eyes flashed with fierceness, "We not only want to expose them, but we also want to catch them all."
"However, direct action is too dangerous," Aiden reminded. "Since they have been hiding for so long, they must have laid many traps."
"Because of this, we have to act smarter," Lin Feng smiled, with a cunning flash in his eyes. "Do you still remember the changing forest we passed through? We can create the same illusion to lure them into the trap."
"Use wisdom to defeat strength, I like this plan." Xiaoya nodded in agreement, playing with a small seed in her hand, which was the natural medium she planned to use to activate the illusion.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As night fell, outside the abandoned church, a gust of wind blew, bringing an ominous atmosphere. The three of them hid in the dark, waiting. As party members appeared one after another, Aiden lowered his voice
Reciting the spell, the seeds in Xiaoya's hand fell to the ground and took root, growing rapidly. The illusion spread like mist, covering the entire area.
"What...is going on?" A sect member wearing a robe panicked, and the surrounding environment became distorted, with reality and illusion intertwined.
"You finally showed up." Lin Feng's voice sounded in the illusion, and with the shining of the sword of light, he appeared from the void, and the surrounding scene returned to normal little by little under the light of his sword.
In the chaos, Xiaoya accurately shot arrows, blocking the retreat of the sect members, while Aiden used the light released from the Book of Wisdom to illuminate every hidden corner.
"We are the guardians of the Kingdom of Light, and your conspiracy ends here." After Lin Feng's words fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. All the sect members were surrounded in the center, their faces full of shock and despair.
During this tense confrontation, Aiden opened the Book of Heaven, and a line of words emerged from its light, which seemed to be a perfect commentary on the current scene: "The reason why light is powerful is that it dares to shine into every corner of darkness."
"Well done, we did it." An imperceptible smile appeared on Xiaoya's lips. She put away her bow and arrows and scanned the captured sect members to make sure that none of them slipped through the net.
Lin Feng nodded and sheathed the sword of light. His voice was calm but full of power: "Next, it is time to bring these shadows to the light and let the truth be revealed to the world."
"However, before that, we should probably deal with this first..." Aiden gently closed the book of wisdom and pointed not far away, where a figure was slowly walking out of the chaos, unlike other panicked sects.
Member, this person seemed particularly calm, even with a sarcastic smile.
"I am Astra, and your so-called 'conspiracy' is far more profound than you think." The man's words revealed confidence and provocation, and his appearance made the atmosphere tense again.
"Oh? He seems to be a tough guy." Xiaoya narrowed her eyes and unconsciously touched the quiver with her fingers.
"Astra, no matter how careful your plan is, today is the end of it." Lin Feng took a step forward, and the brilliance of the Sword of Light shined again, illuminating his face with an unquestionable determination.
Just when the atmosphere was tense, a passing traveler accidentally witnessed all this. He stopped and opened his mouth in an "O" shape. "Oh my god, is this a movie? I can't believe it.
People are the real heroes!”
"Hero? Humph, you mortals will only be confused by appearances." Astra sneered disdainfully, but his body was surrounded by Lin Feng and Xiaoya vigilantly, and he could not leave easily.
"Bring him back to the palace and let the Queen and her advisors decide." Aiden suggested calmly. His eyes seemed to have penetrated Astra and saw the more complicated chess game behind this battle.
As Astra was escorted away, the crowd started talking one after another.
"They are really powerful. They have taken care of all the people wearing strange robes." A woman holding a child admired, her eyes full of admiration.
"Yes, especially the warrior wielding the sword, he is like a hero coming out of ancient books." A young man next to him agreed, with envy shining in his eyes.
At this time, in the night, a gorgeously dressed and graceful woman slowly walked towards Lin Feng. Her smile was both charming and mysterious. "What a wonderful night, warriors. I am Leah, and I would like to invite you three heroes."
Let's have dinner together to express my respect for your heroic actions."
Lin Feng was slightly surprised. He turned around and exchanged glances with Aiden and Xiaoya. Both of them showed playful smiles. Obviously, such an invitation was an unexpected episode for them tonight.
"Miss Leah, thank you for your invitation, but before agreeing, we need to ensure that everything has been properly handled." Lin Feng responded politely, showing his sense of responsibility as a leader.
"Of course, everything will be arranged properly. After all, the heroes' rest and celebration are equally important." Leia smiled even more charmingly, with a hint of irresistible charm in her tone.
Aiden coughed lightly and said jokingly: "Well, it seems that we have no reason to refuse the kindness of a beautiful lady, but please allow us to tidy up a little. After all, after the battle, we don't want to go to the banquet in too much embarrassment."
Xiaoya also joined in, her smile hidden with slyness: "Yes, at least make us look worthy of the title of heroes, right?"
In the eyes of everyone, the three warriors left with the mysterious woman, leaving behind a series of curious and envious glances. Their backs stretched in the moonlight, indicating that after this adventure, a new story was about to begin.
prelude.
"So, Miss Leah, do you have any special arrangements for this dinner?" Lin Feng asked casually, feeling in his heart that this invitation might be more than just a simple thank you.
"Oh, that will be a surprise." Leia turned back, with deep meaning in her smile, "But before that, I hope you can be ready to face any challenge, because in the Kingdom of Light, even the most ordinary night
There may be unexpected secrets hidden.”
"Secret?" Xiaoya raised her eyebrows. There was both curiosity and wariness in her eyes. Years of experience have made her always highly sensitive to the unknown. "Sounds interesting. Let's wait and see."
Aiden looked thoughtful, holding the book of wisdom close to his chest, as if he was ready to record every detail that this dinner might reveal. "Every secret has its value, Miss Leah, we look forward to your reveal."
, while also getting ready to unveil more about the ancient sect.”
As the night grew darker, the group stepped into the palace-style restaurant led by Leah. The decoration was luxurious and mysterious, and there seemed to be an unsaid story hidden under each tablecloth. There were few guests, but each one was important to the Kingdom of Light.
characters, their eyes converged as the three heroes entered.
When an old noble saw them, he whispered to the young man next to him: "Look, those are the warriors who defeated the dark forces in recent rumors. We are really lucky to have such people in our kingdom."
The young man's eyes widened and his awe was palpable: "I really hope I can contribute to the country like them."
On the dining table, there was a dazzling array of delicacies, but the atmosphere was slightly tense because of the secret that Leah had not yet revealed. She raised her glass elegantly, and the crisp ringtone broke the silence, "Everyone, tonight we are not only celebrating the victory of the heroes,
It is also for an important revelation. Just as light and shadow are forever intertwined, our country is also facing a dark shadow that must be faced."
After hearing this, everyone paid attention, and Lin Feng, Xiaoya, and Aiden looked solemn. They realized that this so-called "revelation" might stir up the situation again.
Leah continued: "Recently, I obtained an ancient map, which points to a forgotten dungeon, where it is said to contain artifacts that can completely destroy the power of dark magic."
