The rest of the journey went smoothly for Luo Ya and the others. Although the long journey had accumulated a lot of fatigue in the heretic army and the inquisitors, the team was more united than ever. Unlike before, the leader had given everyone a boost, making the journey a lot easier.
After Nuo Aier's bloodline was upgraded, although humans couldn't feel it, the aura of the angel king seemed to have a great influence on the higher-level monsters. These restless predators in winter didn't dare to come near, and the battle rate at night was reduced to less than half.
Before dawn, the campfire was still burning in the camp. Under the light of the fire, the soldiers who were running back and forth didn't shout loudly to prepare for the journey. Instead, they were whispering to each other and laughing from time to time. The soldiers who were standing guard were different from usual. They were all smiling, and the devout inquisitors were already preparing to worship.
"Although I know you're tired from keeping watch at night, you can't fall asleep today. It's almost time."
In the carriage before dawn, a blonde girl reached out her hand and touched the boy's cheek, waking him up with a smile. Feeling the touch on his cheek, Luo Ya gradually opened his eyes and apologized. He wasn't surprised that the girl was here.
As the next Holy See of the Holy See, even if Nuo Aier couldn't make it back to the distant Holy Capital, he still had to spend the day according to the teachings of the church. The devout inquisitors did the same. As the biggest festival of the year, New Year was equally important to the heretic army. Naturally, they couldn't be careless about it. It could be said that it was the common wish of everyone to rest for a day. m.
In the tragedy of Tark Fortress, hundreds of thousands of extraordinary people disappeared without a trace. This incident made both the inquisitors and the heretic warriors feel a strong sense of unease. Everyone, as witnesses of history, urgently wanted something to support them.
Luo Ya didn't believe in this kind of New Year's wish activity in the past. In the past, it was basically just a formality. However, the shining figure in the sky when he was promoted to the Source Rank not long ago changed his mind. The warmth from the soul was still fresh in his memory.
As everyone waited, the morning sun finally appeared on the horizon, emitting a dazzling radiance. At the same time, the people on the ground all closed their eyes and prayed, placing their wishes in the light, hoping to receive a response from the gods.
Although it was said to be a stare, in fact, the boy didn't feel the stare. Instead, it was a feeling of being surrounded by a warm light. After a strange feeling flashed by, Luo Ya couldn't help but open his eyes. As a result, he found that the nearby crowd had already prepared to pray, and it seemed that a long time had passed.
"I didn't expect you to be so serious this year. You're completely different from before."
"Yeah, the time is already twice as long as mine. Speaking of which, don't you feel it?"
Facing the doubtful blonde girl, Luo Ya remained silent for a moment before shaking her head slightly. She felt that she might have seen the memories in her bloodline again. On the other side, Nuo Aier curiously inquired about the boy's wish.
"It's nothing. I just hope that the people around me will be safe."
Recalling the departure of her loved ones, the blonde girl said with a sorrowful smile on her face. Seeing this, Luo Ya's heart ached. He thought about how to console her, but before he could say anything, a slender hand gently pinched the boy's cheek.
"… I really forgot. It shouldn't be a problem."
"Hmm?"
"My wish is … I hope that I and the people I love will be safe and happy."
Amidst the calm voice, Luo Ya, who was suddenly attacked, couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly. After a moment of silence, the boy looked at Nuo Aier's blue eyes, his cheeks slightly red, and replied as if he was making a promise.
"You will be happy. Definitely."
