Chapter Ninety-Seven: Fog, Morning, and Light
Legend has it that there are many races living on the continent of Orlando, and humans are nothing more than ordinary intelligent creatures among them. Not only are most humans weak, but they are also not superior to the long lifespans of other races. However, such a seemingly weak human has two major advantages that other races cannot match: huge numbers and strong learning ability.
The Orlando continent is vast and rich, but its richness is not evenly distributed, in the southern part of the Orlando continent, there is a unified huge kingdom, that is, the orc kingdom of Kampas, where power and honor coexist, blood and life dance!
Orcs are one of the oldest races in Orlando, and some scholars and magicians even believe that humans are actually one of the orcs, although this statement has some basis, but it cannot be recognized by the vast majority of humans, and moreover, humans and orcs are not the same race, but enemies......
The Orc Kingdom is vast and is the largest country in the Orlando continent. However, they have the most extensive territory and do not have much fertile arable land, and in Kampas, the most common thing to see is the endless desolate Gobi, where only the most tenacious life can survive and thrive.
I don't know when the orcs began to want a better life and wanted to take over the land of humans. Only in this way can they feed more people and live happily. That's right, they just want to be happy. However, human beings will not tolerate the dispossession of their territory and the encroachment of their living land, so a bloody war that has lasted for thousands of years has begun......
In the southernmost part of the kingdom of man, there are two such places. One was the southern front of the French Empire, a super line of defense that was more than a thousand miles long, and it was called the Delaenor Line. Here, countless human heroes and orc warriors died here, and over time, a black-red land belt dozens of miles wide appeared here! It was the color poured out of the blood of countless warriors.
Humans are tenacious, and the average quality of orc warriors is much higher than that of humans. But here they have been forcibly blocked for a thousand years! In desperation, the orcs had no choice but to find a new breakthrough, that is, located in the southernmost part of Ladovia, the easternmost mercenary country on the mainland, and now the tallest city on the mainland: the Wall of Sighs!
From here, the orc armies invaded the human world, and they were finally able to set foot in the long-awaited rich land, so they indulged, plundered, and destroyed at will! Almost turned this place into the Gobi of the second Campaz! Upon learning of this, countless legionnaires and adventurers rushed into the land, and soon began a long battle to the death with the orc army! Ten years later, humanity finally drove the orcs out of the land of Ladovia, and at the same time, humanity began to spend countless generations of hard work and sweat to gradually cast the first Xiongguan sigh wall on the mainland. After that, the mercenary groups that came to participate in the war were permanently stationed here under the leadership of the four major legions, and began to form the country of mercenaries known to later generations - Ra Viya.
In the early morning, a faint mist drifts over a remote town in the southern mountains of Ladovia. However, after a while, the mist quickly cleared as the warm sunlight appeared, and the town, which was only 75 households, revealed its true appearance.
The name of this town is Mist Town.
Most of the houses in the town are not high, and there are no lords and nobles willing to suffer, so it can maintain its characteristic quiet and peaceful. The tallest building in Mist Town is the three-story Temple of Light in the center of the town.
As the first rays of sunlight fell in the sky, the doors of the Temple of Light opened......
There were only three clergy in this temple. An elderly male priest, a middle-aged paladin with a somewhat lame leg, and a fresh, cute and somewhat confused priest girl.
Every day, the old priest prayed in the temple. Paladins will secretly hide on the second floor to drink. Only this young priest will walk out of the Temple of Light and bring a touch of warmth, laughter, and blessings and hope to its residents.
She's Charlotte. Jingwen St.
Charlotte. Jingwen St, the junior priest of the Temple of Light. He is 160 cm tall and weighs only 40 Pakri. From the time she was sensible, she had lived in the Temple of Light in Mist Town. She had asked the old priest before, but he didn't know. All he remembered was that he found her at the door of the Temple of Light on a very hot night.
At this time, Charlotte was already a beautiful girl of 17 years old, but it might be a joke of God, and she had an extraordinary talent for light magic, but she was very confused about other things. She often gets lost and can't tell the difference between east and west. She had snow-white skin and curly blond hair, and she was very beautiful in her holy priest's white robe, provided that the mischievous freckles on her face were removed, and then the plain on her chest was ignored......
Charlotte's beauty lies in her heart. That's what the people in the town say. She always laughs happily when she hears it, but when she turns around, she still shows a hint of gloom. For the first time in her life, she felt hatred, yes, she hated the plains......
On this day, Charlotte was practicing light magic in the courtyard of the aisle of the Temple of Light, when suddenly a noisy footstep came to her ears. A few hurried-looking adventurers approached the old priest and said something to him. When the curious Charlotte walked over, the adventurers had already left in a hurry.
"Grandpa! Who are they? What's going on? Why do you look so ugly? ”
For the first time, Charlotte saw an anxious look on the old priest's face, and he used to smile at everything, even when she had plucked his beard when she was a child......
"Kid, the Orlando continent, which has been quiet for many years, is going to be chaotic again, and the person who came just now is an adventurer who delivers the news. They brought bad news, in the city of Dharanis, south of Ladovia, a few days ago there was a sudden outbreak of a large-scale plague, and now more than 10,000 people have died, but after so much time, the local people still have not found the source and solution, if it is another month, hundreds of thousands of people within a radius of Dharani City will die! Not only that, but the plague is likely to spread throughout Ladovia! The catastrophe began......"
"Grandpa! What do I want to do? Can I go? ”
"I'm old, and I don't have enough strength. And you're too young and have never been far away. Perhaps all we can do is pray......"
"But I've studied light magic, I can go there and help those in need!"
"How do you get there? What can you, a Light Priest who is just a second-order junior, do? Child, I understand your feelings, but at this moment we are really powerless! O merciful light! Please give us guidance......"
Charlotte's heart was full of desire to help others at this time, in the prayer, she seemed to hear something, but she couldn't explain it clearly, the meaning was ethereal and unpredictable, like the fog here, and like the light of the morning, but Charlotte magically understood the meaning of this sentence!
"Kid...... Follow...... Your heart...... Go out there bravely! ”
