289 Darren's Decision
"Crash."
When the last sand man in front of him collapsed into fine sand and scattered all over the ground, Daren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The last game was won!
With the hope of winning the qualifying place in the East District, Daren has been playing 120,000 points today, and his opponents are not so desperate... With the sharp and broken sword given by Bancroft, Daren won all the ten battles as he wished!
He looked up at the standings in the air at the first time - as long as the female magician named "Irene" did not win all today, then the second place might be replaced.
However, the standings at this moment are not what they were yesterday. Only when all the East District players competed for ten games will they change.
After a moment, Daren's eyelids twitched.
The list has changed!
"East Division Points List"
"No. 1: Archer "Jen" - 10,000 points!
"No. 2: Warrior "Dalen" - 8170 points!
"No. 3: Magician "Irene" - 8090 points!
“No. 4:…”
Daren was stunned in place, without moving his footsteps for a long time. Even though the huge text formed by quicksand floated in mid-air, he still felt a little dreamy at this moment. He really broke through the siege of one hundred East District contestants and won the second place?!
At some point, a small figure ran to him.
"Dalen, you really did it!" Enid's voice was like a chirping lark, revealing joy from the bottom of his heart, "Now you are qualified to compete for the first place! Take a break for two days, and then there is the quarterfinals. We must plan it well!"
Only then did Daren come to his senses and look at the little girl in surprise: "What did you say?"
"I said first, first, first!" The little girl with light flax hair looked very excited. "Do you know how good the reward for first place is? It can make you destined to be a sub-legend! Although it is very difficult, how can you know if you don't fight for it..."
Daren looked at Enid's red face, with an extraordinary expression of excitement, and suddenly his eyebrows were twisted.
"Follow me!" His face became more and more serious. He suddenly grabbed Enid's wrist and walked out of the arena!
Enid's trot was enough to keep up.
The two soon returned to the hotel.
After closing the door tightly, Delan turned around and looked at Enid, with the solemnity on his face as thick as ink.
In fact, before today's game started, the strange atmosphere in the city, a large number of white-robed people, and the private discussions of people had already made a strange feeling in Daren's heart. On the way back, Daren's brain was turning rapidly, and many things gradually became connected, and a not-so-great conclusion was gradually emerging!
First of all, what the old man Bancroft said to him two days ago... He told himself a so-called "prophecy of the Great Sage", saying that the dark age has arrived, and the fog has covered the long river of time, and the prophet is the only person who can see the future clearly...Dalen knows the word "prophecy"? Osborne is a recognized prophet? But the original content of the prophecy of the Great Sage is something that a poor boy in the mountain village like Dealen had never heard of. The old man might have just said it casually at the time, but Dealen was deeply impressed!
Secondly, a small thing that happened a long time ago - the holy war had just ended? Glen, who had a very high reputation among the people, died? Daren once witnessed the black-eyed blonde young man Osborne, who was surrounded by a group of city people as soon as he got off the flying boat, and blamed him for Glen's death. And Osborne's mood seemed a little broken at that time? Almost knelt down to an ordinary old man! He did not really kneel down, but was immediately dragged away by a tall and strong bald warrior in white robe? Just a word he murmured before leaving? Daren heard it!
"I'm not a prophet... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."
This is the sentence, word for word.
At that time, Delen only felt that it was nonsense out of guilt. Osborne was the prophet announced by the Pope himself? Everyone knows it! But now it seems that there is another flavor...
Several things are linked together.
The Great Sage predicted that only the prophets could see the future clearly now... Osborne said that he was not a prophet... and Enid could clearly predict...
It's hard for Daren not to think of something.
"Enid? You honestly answer me, don't lie to me." The brunette boy looked extremely serious and stared at Enid's dark eyes. "Are you the prophet in the 'Great Sage Prophecy'?"
"Ah?" The little girl with light flax hair showed a surprised expression, "You...what are you talking about? I just know prophecy. How could it be a savior... Is the prophet the Osborne? You know."
"I said don't lie to me." Deren got a little angry, "Everyone said that a strange phenomenon happened outside the city last night? And you did come back very late... Starting this morning, countless people from the courthouse searched for "prophetic heretics" all over the city? And you were exactly today? It seemed as if you suddenly knew what the first place reward was? You encouraged me to win the first place... If I remember correctly, I never told you that the first place reward can make people a sub-legend? You have never seen Gene, so how did you know?"
The series of questions made Enid look aggrieved.
"What the hell do you want to say..." the little girl flattered her mouth, "If I were the heresy the Holy See was looking for, you would dislike me."
"I didn't mean that!" Deren pulled open the buttons on the collar with some annoyance, "I mean, if you are a real prophet, then you are too dangerous now! The white-robed people are looking for you all over the city. There is only one reason, that is, to prevent Osborn's false prophet identity from being exposed, and to silence you! If you are really, don't hide it from me anymore!"
Enid pouted and stopped talking.
Daren asked several times again, and then she reluctantly said: "Okay, okay, I made the movement last night. Because I woke up the third star, I saw what the reward for the first place is..."
"Then are you a prophet?"
"To be honest, I don't know! Since the long river of time is covered by fog, I can't watch the future at will, but in the words of the stars, I can still see it... But shouldn't the so-called prophet be the savior? I don't know anything, and I don't want to be the savior at all. I just want to go home... to find the big lake that can't be seen at all..."
"Is it an endless lake again..." Daren gritted his teeth and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up quickly and began to pack his bags quickly.
"What are you doing?" Enid stared blankly at Daren running around the room.
"Check things up, I'll take you away!" Daren urged, "It's too dangerous here. Maybe you are a prophet, maybe not, but it's no different! It's equally dangerous to be found by the people from the Inquisition! The old man is right. The intrigue at the upper level is too terrible. We can't afford to offend the news that Osborne is a false prophet. The Pope may not allow it to leak anyway!"
But one hand grabbed her.
The blonde girl turned around in confusion and saw the brunette staring at her.
"Listen to me a few words." Daren said softly, "I have been listening to you since the Jumo City Competition. Listen to your registration, listen to your challenge to the Sand Puppet again and again... Eat the dishes and potions you make, fight with the methods you told me, listen to your daily training of fighting skills, and try every means to strive to become the quarterfinals..."
"But you know, I don't actually want to become a powerful adventurer that much! At least, I'm not that anxious!"
"It's just because I promised you to take you all over the continent to find the endless lake... I know very well that I am still far from being able to travel to the continent, so I have to work hard to work hard."
"Now you say, you don't need me anymore... Yes, the Holy See may be more useful than me, but you can't guarantee what they will do to you. Maybe they need your prophecy ability and will not kill you, but they can also limit your freedom, torture you, and find ways to use your ability... These are possible! And I don't allow such things to happen..."
"You want to find the Endless Lake, I won't stop you, and I can even help you desperately, but if you want to adopt a method that will put yourself in huge danger, such as seeking the Holy See, I will never allow it... because you are Enid! From the day I picked you up in the Dark Valley four years ago, you are my family..."
"I...only you are the family now..."
When Daren said these words, he held the blond girl's slender wrist tightly, as if he would lose something extremely important once he loosened it!
He also chattered endlessly, as if he liked to nag Diana.
Blonde Enid looked back at Deren, her cold expression seemed to have loosened a little at this moment...
However, the next moment, she suddenly fell soft and her whole body quickly shrank, and she turned back to the appearance of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl!
"Huh." Delan was relieved.
He remembered it very clearly! The last time Enid became a blond girl in the village of Dore, it didn't last long. She would soon become a little girl and fall asleep... It seemed that maintaining her adult appearance was very exhausting...Dalen said so many things, although they were all the truth, but there was no intention of trying to delay time?
Holding the petite and sleepy little girl in her arms, Daren's eyes gradually became firm.
He gently placed her on his back, then pulled a blanket and tied it up. The brunette boy lifted his simple luggage with one hand and left the room of the hotel without looking back.
For a six-star warrior, this weight is not in the way.
Chapter completed!
