Chapter 150: Will those who have traveled far away from home return to their hometown?
"If you need to cross the river," Gurne, the ferryman of the underground world and the sacred water beast, said softly, "I can take you back."
He paused briefly and added: "This is my mission."
Because it is a mission, he does not need to worry about other things. Whether it is the faint smell of blood in the wind or the bloody Sister Livia in front of him, they are not things he cares about. He only cares about where the passengers are going.
Where to go.
Livia shook her head slowly: "I have nowhere to go back."
Mufasa the Convict had already made arrangements before the start of this operation to allow ordinary believers in St. Anvil's Cross Church to evacuate and take refuge. This may be the only correct decision he has made in many years, especially during the lockdown.
The brothers and sisters of the Ministry of Magic and the Battle Sisters all followed him to death, and the soul of Sister Livia's son Gabriel was also recovered by Carabosse. If the True Spirit Sect continues to occupy the ancient church, but
He just exposed himself foolishly and became a target for the enemy.
They probably evacuated to the Evangelical Church located in the Three Mountains area. The Evangelical Church, a refuge for aliens, has always maintained a good relationship with St. Anville's Cross Church because of its founder, Pancras. The aliens accepted by the asylum
Most of them have prejudices against human beings, but for the sake of old man Pancras, they probably won’t embarrass the followers of the True Spirit Sect.
In fact, Livia can also go back to the Evangelical Church. It is better to say that it is her only destination. But the nun dare not because she is not sure that during the experiment of gestating the soul of the Holy Son Gabriel, Old Pancras
What role did he play? It was he who saw at a glance that the young Livia had the qualifications to become the Holy Son, but he also reminded her with a profound warning; he did not agree with Brother Mufasa to take back the Holy Son.
The plan for the manuscript has therefore never appeared again since the day the latter made the decision, but why did he refuse to state the reasons for his opposition? Does he know the nature of the soul of the Holy Son Gabriel? Does he know Brother Mufasa?
What kind of crazy conspiracy is hidden behind the plan? Is it...
Livia didn't dare to continue thinking about it. She was afraid that the old man she had always admired in her heart after reading "White Mountain Abbey" would gradually collapse in the "whether" questions. She was even more afraid.
If one day even the staunchest supporter of the True Spirit Sect quietly changes her mind, how can she continue to persevere? Or, is there any need to continue to persevere?
She was afraid of all this, especially the dark witch Carabosse, so she was also afraid of going to the Evangelical Academy. At the same time, she also understood that she had personally rejected her final destination, so she told Gerne that she no longer had
You can go back to this place.
The homeless figure leaned against the sign of the home station. The thin shadow looked indescribably lonely and desolate. Gernie saw everything in his eyes and suddenly said: "Because there is no place to go back to."
, so you resist moving forward?”
Livia raised her head, and a splash of water passed through her dazed eyes. The underground river network of Renweiting was no different from the rivers on land. The water flow was both fast and slow, but for such a fast river, Livia still felt
The first time we met. Perhaps this indicates that the road home is not peaceful and is always full of twists and turns.
"A long time ago, when I decided to leave my hometown and go to another unfamiliar body of water, my father once told me that the destination is not important, but the meaning of progress is the most important." The scales of the sacred beasts in the water were smudged by the firelight.
Shining with a warm luster, his voice was slow and full of calm wisdom: "I have always kept this sentence firmly in my heart and have never forgotten it. But I remember it not because it is a teaching from my father, but because it comes from my father's teachings."
Because I have personally experienced its true meaning. When I vowed to cross the distant continental sea as the first step to conquer the waters, I never thought about where my future would go. The scenery on the sea is monotonous and boring.
You will encounter some nasty things: human steam battleships, chasing fish and whale sharks, deserted islands, and deep-sea monsters trying to bite a piece of meat from you... But when you are ambitious, all nasty things
Nothing will be an obstacle to you, but a motivation."
"During that six-year journey, I not only crossed the Intercontinental Sea, but also went all the way west from the mouth of West Vesuvius, visiting Slaby, Massa Ejik, Romania, Aso
I wandered freely through the great rivers of La La until I arrived at Lunweiting. But the reason why I stayed at Lunweiting was not because I had lost the courage to move on, but because I had already found my destination in my past travels. The journey of life.
The same is true for travel, such as boating on the water. Storms and huge waves may submerge you at any time, but you can ignore these things and just move forward. There is no need to worry about losing your way, whether it is a river, a lake or an ocean, there will be
Their end, and when you are mature enough and wise enough, you can escape from the water and step onto your own shore."
"The same goes for you, Miss Livia."
He took a deep look at the nun: "Your sea is not alone, even though sometimes it is overturned by strong winds and rain, even though sometimes it seems so far away, even though sometimes it will use all kinds of methods to prevent you from moving forward.
…But the end of the sea is there, it will not move, the distance only depends on your determination.”
After listening to his story, Sister Livia murmured: "Is it always there?"
"It will always be there." Gerne said with certainty. He was so confident that he never doubted his judgment at any time. Compared with him, Livia felt that she was still a young child, just because of the temporary
When he lost his way, he cried out in grievance and was afraid to continue moving forward.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It seems that you already know where you should go." Gernie looked at the change in the expression on the nun's face and said meaningfully: "Now
Please tell me your destination and let me take you to the other side, because this is the mission of our Alkane clan."
The holy beast Alcane in the water was born to guide confused creatures. Regardless of race, strength or identity, they send every creature equally from one shore to the other. They are the ferry for all dreams, wishes and long-cherished wishes.
people.
"I know." When his words fell, the faces that flashed in Sister Livia's mind for the first time were actually people from a foreign land whom she had only known for a few days. She was a little confused about this because she never remembered them.
She had left such a deep impression on herself. But soon the nun's expression became firm again, and she said word by word: "Please send me to Mr. Ringer and the others. Please, Your Excellency Gerne.
.”
When Gernie heard her request, she was slightly startled, and then chuckled: "That's not possible. You don't seem to have figured out the situation yet. Miss Livia, the Mr. Ringer you mentioned, and his
Those companions are undergoing a severe test at this moment, perhaps more severe than when you faced the dark witch Carabosse. What they are facing is the most dangerous enemy on the planet, even members of our Alkane family
The giant beast is here, and I’m afraid I won’t dare to provoke her easily, so I won’t take you to die, Miss Livia.”
He seemed to know everything. Not only did he accurately tell the situation of Ringer and his party, he even knew clearly about Livia's tragic defeat to the dark witch Carabosse. But the nun had no intention of paying attention to these details. She said in astonishment:
"Mr. Ringer and the others...are they really in such a dangerous situation? But I..."
But I can't think of any other place to go besides them.
"Don't worry, Miss Livia." Gurney said, turning around and sinking his body back into the water, only exposing his back as broad and solid as a raft. He said to the nun: "Different paths lead to the same destination. There are many things in this world.
There are many ways to reach the same destination. This is true for roads on land, but there are even more roads for water. Now, you can get on this ferry and let me prove it to you."
Sister Livia opened and closed her mouth several times, but finally said nothing. She endured the pain from her abdomen, closed her eyes and said a brief prayer for the foreigners in danger, and then boarded the
Getting on Gernie's back: "I'm ready, Your Excellency Gurnie."
"Then let us set off." Gernesen smiled coldly: "This will be a long journey for you."
The next moment, his figure was swimming upstream, towards the end of the waterway that was submerged in darkness, and soon disappeared into the dim firelight of the ferry. The signboard of the homecoming station reappeared in light, with blurred fonts on it.
It seemed to burn under the light of the flames, gradually outlining a motto that humans only learned after thousands of years of journey -
The lonely wanderer will find companions, and the one who has traveled far from home will return to his hometown.
