237 Confession, Hero

Osborne felt as if he had experienced a dream.

A nightmare.

Before yesterday, when he walked on the streets of Jumo City, he would also encounter people's cheers. People cast respectful and pious eyes, shouting praises to the goddess and gratitude to the prophets. The priests of the Sun and Moon Cult who accompanied him would also receive many specialties, flowers and blessings.

But today, Osborne suffered countless doubtful gazes and fingers from the Feizhou Station to the City Lord's Fort.

This phenomenon did not happen to other sub-legends. Neither the Lord of Jumo, as the host, or Flinda, who was a far-reaching guest, nor even the adventurers who came to participate in the war in various places were treated like this. Only Osborne encountered these!

The range of the Rain of Light reaches ten thousand meters, and part of Jumo City is also covered.

The Rain of Light represents the fall of the sub-legacy. As long as you look up the records or inquire about it, most people will naturally understand what happened. Although most adventurers are silent about it due to Marchesno's stern shout, it is not absolute. Some people will always be unable to help but reveal a few words.

In addition, Gelan did not come down from the flying boat, and many people in Jumo City had guessed that the famous "His Royal Highness Gelan" might have fallen!

This makes many people unacceptable! Gelen's reputation among the people is not just a joke.

Logically speaking, no one is qualified to accuse the adventurers who have gone to the battlefield, and those who have gone to the battlefield are all warriors... But Osborne is different. In addition to the identity of a warrior who fights against evil, he has another identity as a "prophet". The Holy See organized this holy war in the name of a prophet!

"The prophet can see the future in the fog and lead mankind to light."

The Holy See spared no effort to promote the prophets, and Osborn naturally endured great expectations. A very simple speculation is that being able to see the future means that he should be able to predict the sacrifice of His Highness Glen! Even though he knew that such a sub-legend who was so important to the human kingdom would die, he insisted on launching this war. Shouldn't he be questioned?

At this time, the news that the evil wizard was not dead has not been made public. If people knew that even Glen's death could not eliminate the evil wizard, I was afraid that Osborn's situation would be even more ugly.

Osborn stared at his toes all the way, his heart full of bitterness... Prophet? Since the Moon Mill, no one has ever used prophecy. He has never been a so-called prophecy. How could he expect that four people with sub-legendary level strength to enter the canyon together, but they can't even beat the evil wizard?

Suddenly a figure blocked the way forward.

Osborne was stunned and looked up and found that it was an old man with wrinkles on his face and dressed properly.

He immediately recognized that this was a believer of light living near the 6th city gate. It is said that he was a teacher at Jumocheng Catholic School. The reason I remembered him was because on the first day he arrived at Jumocheng, the old teacher welcomed him on the roadside with a group of children!

"Are you here to question me too..." Osborne showed a bitter expression.

"No, child, no." The other party's answer stunned the young man in white robe, "Maybe it's not appropriate for me to call you that. After all, you are a powerful adventurer and a great prophet in the prophecy of the Great Sage... But I can see that you are confused at this moment and are very suspicious of yourself."

Osborne stared at him blankly.

"The more capable you are, the heavier the burden on your shoulders. You must understand this." The old man put his hand on the young man's shoulder and stared at his black pupils. "Child, I don't know if you foresee the death of His Highness Glen, why did you start a jihad, but I'm not here to question... You are a prophet, destined to lead everyone to do the right thing. Being a savior is definitely not an easy thing. I believe you will do better and better. Until then, don't be overwhelmed by other people's doubts!"

"The prophecy of the great sage said that only prophets can lead mankind to the only bright future, but if we do not trust the prophet ourselves, why should we hope that the light will come?" The old man smiled bitterly.

"You..." Osborn's eyes gradually turned red.

To be honest, if everyone questioned him and blamed him, maybe he still couldn't maintain his superficial calmness and walked back to the lord's castle with his teeth.

But when the old man said this, the high wall in his heart seemed to collapse suddenly!

In the battle with the evil wizard, the grievances of being stared at the pursuit, the huge pressure of participating in the sub-legacy level battle became the self-blame and guilt that the team was dragged down. It was obvious that they were not a prophet and had to hold on to the pain... All these emotions turned into floods, and they completely broke down in the face of this simple words of concern!

"No...I'm sorry, it's all my fault...I'm guilty..." Osborn's voice choked up instantly, looking at the old teacher, the people pointing fingers on the street, and the statue of the kind goddess as high as a hundred meters further away, her knees were slowly bent, as if she was kneeling in the temple to confess.

"I'm not..."

Before he finished speaking, a hand like an iron pliers grabbed his shoulder, covered his mouth with the other hand, and lifted him up!

—————

Daren didn't know how he returned to Jumo City.

Perhaps the only motivation to support him and make him return to the city like a walking corpse is that he wants to figure out what happened in the middle of the canyon!

With his strength, he could not understand the colorful light, so he could only wait for the sub-legends to give an explanation. Perhaps, he could also slightly speculate on Enid's whereabouts...

Even though there are ten thousand bad guesses in my heart, Daren still has the last hint of hope!

But just as he entered the city, he encountered a strange thing.

"Hero is here!"

I don’t know who screamed, and then a group of people suddenly surrounded the dazed brunette boy!

Daren was shocked, and his eyes finally returned to a little focal length. Only then did he see that there were a large group of ordinary people in tattered clothes surrounding him.

The person who called that just now quickly got to the front, and then Daren recognized that this wasn't the first human craftsman he met on the Shuangtou Peak who was tied to a tree?

He glanced at the crowd around him and it was indeed the craftsmen.

It turned out that before Delen left, he cut open the ropes on several people, one rescued several, and several saved dozens of them, like a snowball, and everyone was soon saved! And the Double Head Peak was not far from Jumo City, and the group of locals were familiar with the terrain and quickly ran back on their own!

The people who were first released by Daren still remembered his appearance and volunteered to guard the city gate, saying that they must find the life-saving benefactor! The companions helped to inform their families, but they themselves kept guarding the main and deputy city gates facing the north. Every time an adventurer came in, they carefully identified them and finally made them squat at Daren.

"Hero! Benefactor!" The group of people cheered around Deren.

Other rescued people also began to come and soon gathered a small crowd here! The family of the craftsmen came, brought various gifts, and were grateful to Daren.

The calls and movements here even attracted many adventurers to watch curiously.

During this period, Delan was even thrown up and down, but his expression was numb and numb.

After a while, after finally getting rid of the cheering crowd, Daren staggered to the square in front of the lord castle. Because it was visible to the naked eye, it seemed that the adventurers were gathering in that direction. Maybe something was going to be announced?

While passing by Feizhou Station, Daren saw another strange scene.

The young man with black pupils who had looked at him at the baptism of forgiveness seemed to be called the Prophet Osborne or something. He had tears in his eyes, as if he was about to kneel down to an ordinary old man, and there was a circle of ordinary people around him pointing fingers!

Then Daren saw a tall and strong bald warrior rushing into the crowd, pinching his shoulder and lifting him up, as relaxed as an eagle catching a chick. Without giving Osborn a chance to speak, he carried him away and walked out...

Osborne did not resist and allowed the man to take him away.

There are ordinary people in this circle, but Deren is an adventurer. His hearing is sharper than that of ordinary people. He vaguely heard a faint sound from the mouth that opened and closed when the young man left.

"I'm not a prophet..."

"sorry……"

"I'm really sorry..."
