Outside the village of Luna, on the battlefield of the previous battle, Alan and Sula were full of shock.

The bodies of the Frese soldiers had been cremated in a neat row, and the villagers had gathered them from the side of the camp that had been attacked by Pan Long at night, a total of one hundred and fourteen people.

Among the more than 100 people, most of them are hooligans and bandits who are not worth mentioning, but there are also elite soldiers of the One God Cult, as well as evil warlocks with extraordinary strength.

The most important is one of the four great generals of the Frese Empire, the high priest of the One God Cult, the "Holy One" Cyles.

At this moment, the corpse, which had been half of its head missing, had been stripped of its fines, poured with oil, and was burning in the flames of the pyre, and the stench of burnt flesh spread everywhere like the sins of his life.

The villagers of Runa were busy, and although the smell made them cover their mouths and noses with towels, it did not hide their smiles.

I thought that I could only flee to the mountains and forests, and I struggled to survive in the deep mountains and old forests with scarce resources, and maybe I couldn't breathe for a few days, and I would be caught up by the Holy Legion and killed no one left. But before they could escape to the place, they got the unexpected good news - under the leadership of the adventurer Mr. Pan, the village chief and his team successfully defeated the Holy Legion, and even the leader of the enemy, "The Most Holy One" Thleus, was killed by Mr. Pan!

When she first got the news, Lilina, the leader of the fugitive team, couldn't believe it, but the last priest of the moon goddess confirmed it again and again before she cheered with tears in her eyes.

"We've won! Mr. Pan is amazing!"

Then, she took the villagers, who had turned from apprehensive to high-spirited, and rushed back overnight faster than when they fled.

Back in the village of Runa, the first thing everyone saw was the big stove that was whirring and burning.

Although the plan to burn the dangerous goods failed, the villagers did not dismantle the furnace - such a blast furnace was not easy to build, and it was useful, and it was a pity to dismantle it.

They used the furnace to smelt broken weapons and armor fragments, and used them to make farming tools or tinker.

This battle made the village of Luna rich, there were fifteen war horses left by the Frese army alone, although the two carriages were a little damaged, but the broken only the board walls, the chassis and axles were fine, and they could be used if they were repaired. Coupled with the rations, tents, and various baggage of the Frese army, it is completely possible to say that "Thera fell, and the village of Luna was full".

These are actually only a fraction, and what is more important is the captured weapons and equipment.

The equipment of the Holy Legion is very good, especially the equipment of the Guards Knights, whether it is weapons or armor, they are all magically strengthened, not only far stronger than ordinary metal, but also have the ability to resist magic that ordinary metal does not have. If they were to be auctioned on the black market, perhaps the money for one or two sets of armor would be enough to build a village.

There are twenty such armors in total.

The army of the Frese Empire consisted of a small group of ten, a squadron of a hundred, and a large group of thousands. This time Thleus brought two squads of elite knights and two squadrons of miscellaneous soldiers, as well as three squads of soldiers and civilians. After a fierce battle, the elite knights were lost, and the miscellaneous soldiers either died or ran away, but some of the soldiers and civilians remained as prisoners.

It was also with the information provided by these captives that everyone figured out the reason for the attack on Thleus.

He just routinely swept the countryside and exterminated all the heretics he could meet, nothing more.

He had done this countless times, and this time, he had finally received retribution.

"I really can't imagine that the Holy One would die here...... "The well-mannered scholar Sula sighed, "This guy is a person that even the emperor is afraid of!"

"The wrongdoers fear one another like two vicious dogs vying for bones. The tall, burly and handsome Alan sneered and said, "If they could cooperate sincerely, the various resistance forces would have been wiped out by them a long time ago." ”

Sula smiled: "How is this possible? Whoever fights is a small matter, and who benefits is a big matter." Whether it is the Frese Empire or the One God Cult, their ultimate goal is to become the sole master of this vast land—although the throne is large, it can't fit two people to sit. ”

Allen's face was full of disdain: "Even if they can play all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, it won't be long before they will be kicked down!"

"Virtue is not worthy of this kind of thing, the big guys always don't believe it. "Or rather, they always have to anesthetize themselves and fantasize that they can sit still." ”

And that's how it turned out. As he spoke, Sura nodded at Seres, who was being carried on a firewood rack by the villagers and poured oil on him.

Alan laughed, and after laughing, he sighed and said, "I originally thought that we had studied under the sage for many years, and we could be regarded as rising stars in this world. That adventurer, Mr. Pan, looks about the same age as us, but his strength is simply shocking!"

"Yes, single-handedly defeated the Holy Legion, and even Thleus was killed...... This kind of thing, even if the teacher does it himself, I'm afraid he can't do it, right?"

Looking back at Pan Long, who was being asked by Lilina with concern, "Where is it uncomfortable, is it hurt?", Allen's face was full of admiration and yearning: "A manly man, you have to be so vigorous to live up to this life!"

If Pan Long had heard him, he might have some common language with him.

But he couldn't hear it for a moment, because Lilina was chattering around him.

The inheritor of the Sacred Stigma of the Daughter of the Moon has a first-class appearance and figure, and her personality is also good, but she is a little verbose.

When Pan Long was looking for treasure at the Moon God statue before, she said a lot about Balabala just because she was curious, which made Pan Long have a headache. And now, she has more to say.

"You're amazing!"

"Why are you so powerful?"

"Will you be in trouble if you kill Thleus?"

"Don't give me back the Tears of the Moon Pendant, it can help you, and Mommy's Heavenly Spirit will be happy. ”

"Interested in building a long-term relationship with our Cult of the Moon Goddess? I think we should do you a favor. ”

"Even if we don't cooperate, we can build long-term and stable relationships. It's also good to exchange information. ”

"I would always stay here and if you have any problems, whether you need help or want to rest for a few days, you are welcome to come over. ”

"You will always be welcome in the village of Luna, and we will definitely repay you for your great kindness. ”

"If you can, I think you can stay here for a few more days, the season of harvesting moondew grass is coming, I'm good at making moondew pizza, you must try it!"

......

She said it sincerely, and sometimes she would blush, like a ripe fruit, and people couldn't help but want to take a bite.

Pan Long didn't freeze the Seven Fairies and then run away to Pan Tao to see the lively stone monkeys, of course he could understand what Lilina meant.

Although this girl talks a lot, she is still a very shy person after all. If it is changed to some popular singing, there is no need to say so many words at this time, just one sentence is enough - there is no way to repay the great favor, and the concubine should promise each other.

Niuniu pinched so much, it might as well be this sentence.

If it were a Northland woman, it would probably have been said very directly.

What is "we really want you to stay", what is "everyone likes you very much", what is "we are very willing to spend time with you"...... Little girl, can't you just do it any longer?

But, to be honest, if she had been more straightforward, Pan Long didn't know how to answer.

In terms of age, Lilina is still a little young - although she can't tell either her face or her figure.

No, age is not an issue, and there seems to be no law in the world that sets a minimum age for marriage, such as the "Marriage Act". If he is really willing to stay, or even have children with Lilina, I believe that he will be blessed by everyone.

But he couldn't stay.

Dad once told him that in the illusory world opened up by the fragments of the Mountains and Seas, there is nothing to be afraid of for good, for evil, for struggle, for pleasure, and even for death. There is only one thing, which is a great taboo and can never be done.

That is, to settle in an illusory world and live for a long time.

"Everything in this world is just illusory, but it is because of the unreal that it is beautiful. Dad said solemnly at the time, "The world we live in is not beautiful, most of the efforts are not rewarded, justice is mostly not served, jackals are in charge, tigers and leopards are everywhere, and it is not easy to live in this world." ”

"So if there is a beautiful illusory world, then most people will yearn for that world. It's like monks yearning for the Pure Land of Bliss, and Taoist priests yearning for Yujing Tianque...... The fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas can open up such a world for you, and what they yearn for, our Pan family can easily get. ”

"But what are you going to do when you get it?"

Pan Long understood what his father meant.

There is a wonderful world waiting for you, and who wants to live in this bad world?

However, that wonderful world is only illusory after all.

“...... Has anyone among his ancestors ever committed this taboo?" he asked.

Daddy replied, "Of course there is, and there is more than one." Everyone who has lived in the illusory world for a long time has finally chosen to live in that kind of world and refuses to stay in the world. ”

"And then?"

"Then they all went crazy. In Daddy's eyes, there was a flash of pain, "No matter how hard the reality is, it can't be escaped." Remember!

Pan Long guessed that Dad may have also had the idea of living in an illusory world in the past and escaping reality.

The Pan family has inherited the fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas for generations, and they must always struggle with this idea and the idea of escapism.

Otherwise, they will go mad and will be driven crazy by the unreachable beauty and unreachable reality of pain.

Pan Long didn't want that outcome, so he couldn't stay in Runa Village.

So he sighed and placed something with no after-effects, such as the crown of the French Emperor, in front of Lilina, next to the Tears of the Moon pendant.

As soon as the thought moved, the surrounding scene shook and rippled, like a stone thrown into the calm water, rippling on top of each other.

After a while, he felt that his body suddenly encountered some invisible resistance, and then with a slight shock, the resistance disappeared, and the surrounding scene also changed, and appeared in the vast sea of stars again.

Looking towards the sea of stars, he could vaguely see the star that he had placed before.

(Will you go back?) he asked himself.

Then, he turned around with a smile.

(If there is a fate, we will naturally meet again.) ）
