Chapter 36: The Promise of the Heart

While changing the bandages, Vanessa whispered in Polly's ear, "We'll ask you to use your magic to find out the whereabouts of a man later, and please be sure to answer that he's in the same direction as my trip." ”

Sure enough, when the two of them left the confessional room and Polly handed Vanessa to Reina to support, Reina said, "Ma'am, there's one more thing to trouble you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Please help us find Paladin the Soul Destroyer."

"Is it Paladin who lives behind Devilhorn Alley?" Polly asked, closing her eyes after receiving confirmation from Reina, her eyes rolling rapidly under their eyelids. After a while, Polly opened her eyes, and the expression on her face was hard to believe, "His footprints are very chaotic, first along the King's Road north, through Dufu Pass, and then back to the town of Xitie to the south, he has stopped outside Crescent City, but not long, and has gone to Wangfeng Harbor to the east, and now he has passed the Cat's Bite Gorge, and is heading in the direction of the Temple of Bacchus. ”

Reina and Vanessa looked at each other, "He went to the Land of the Wine Valley?" Coincidentally, we were also on our way to the Temple of Wine. "Does he doubt me? Vanessa's heart was beating a drum. No, Polly's performance was seamless, and as long as I didn't show my feet, he wouldn't know we were lying to him.

"You'd better not tell me where you're going," Polly said haughtily, "and it's not good for you and me." She stopped talking, and her indifferent gaze urged Vanessa to hurry away.

"As you wish." Vanessa turned away with a blank face, grateful to Polly.

Forgive me for my selfishness, Granny Glab has said that Sorenda has taken the lead, that there is not much time left for me, and what I have seen and heard in Crescent City has made me even more stressed, and Polly is right when she says that as a leader, you must act for the good of the whole, no matter how costly it may be for one individual. I can't see the Land of Midsummer fall to Solanda, I must stop her. Let me be a liar again, pull you into this cruel game, and believe me, when I have quelled the war brought by Solandar and rescued my mother, I will accompany you on a journey to the cliffs in search of Paladin, or follow you into the Valley of Shadows, never to use magic again
