Chapter 605: Punishment
Today, Cheren received a belated sentence - he was exiled. He knew that there would be such a day, but he didn't expect to wait - ten years!
Because of that trivial mistake at the beginning, he was isolated for ten years! Like a lonely ghost, he could not return home.
Back then, he followed the Bran family back to the Emerald Continent, but was asked not to dock at the port. Later, he was saddled with the reputation of a traitor and wandered to a desert island.
Someone came, dropped some necessities and left in a hurry.
That night, he had not been far away, so he saw Bran and the cat. From then on, he felt bad.
The difference between one thought is only the difference of one thought......
If he hadn't left with the fleet, he might have been able to have an enviable new identity - sacrifice. In the beginning, some of the weakest sailors were placed on the Bran family's ships to do the hardest and most tiring work. I've heard that they're doing well now.
This made Cheren sigh secretly, the power failed to win the opportunity for them to change their fate, but brought disaster.
Ten years have passed, and I have heard that the outside world is changing with each passing day, and the gods are making this world prosperous. And they can only endure loneliness on the island, in torment.
Even a sharp slash is a hundred times better than a pending decision. But when the verdict was handed to him, Cheren was not relieved, but even more uneasy.
This judgment, if it could be time-limited, would have even been on his knees to praise the mercy of the gods. However, there is no mention of the deadline at all. Moreover, the Exiled Land was a strange place he had never heard of, a strange place full of ominous meaningsโthe Outlands.
They can take everything they have, even their families. When he saw this, Cheren smiled helplessly - if there is a little humanity, it is impossible to bring his family.
Just as Cheren was sitting in the middle of the room looking at the verdict in his hand in a daze, an unexpected person entered the room.
"Anvina!"
Cheren exclaimed, then realized his faux pas, and immediately got up and made a traditional greeting ceremony. This action made Anvena stunned, and then let out a long sigh: "Alasโโ, no one will give such a salute except here now." โ
"I'm sorry. โ
Anvena sighed again, "It's us, not you, who should be sorry. โ
"No, I'm just to blame.
Back then, you told me not to provoke the family of the Great Wizard even if I offended him, so I really didn't resent you. I didn't resent the Bran family either, after all, my job was to escort them.
I only hate those feathered people, if it weren't for their aggressiveness, I wouldn't have misjudged. โ
Speaking of this, Cheren couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape. Are you here?"
"Before leaving, there are some things I want to explain to you clearly, so that you have less worries. Regardless of your situation, your families have not been affected much.
Whether the gods are strict or not, most of them are just talking about things, and rarely involve anything else. As the saying is now popular, they are only concerned with the thing itself. So, you don't have to worry about your family being treated unfairly, at least for the past decade.
Of course, these words are unfounded, but you will soon see them with your own eyes. I think you've seen the verdict and know the Outlands. You'll have some time to spend with your family before you go there. โ
Seeing Cheron who got up suddenly, Anvena hurriedly stopped: "Please be patient, I won't delay you too much." These old ships, piled up on the shore and used as houses, must no longer be able to withstand the turbulence of the open ocean. And the fleet that came to pick you up will take a little time to arrive. โ
Cheron sat down again, "Sorry, it's been a long ...... for 10 years."
"As you already know, the Great Wizard has returned. โ
Cheren nodded, and said with a hint of exclamation: "In the face of the whispers that resounded all over the world, it was difficult to think about it. โ
"For ten years, the Great Wizard did not hide in the sea of magic, but went to the outside world. โ
"The outside world?"
"Yes. Although I don't know what the outside looks like, I already know that the world we live in is not unique. That is the new goal of the gods, and it is also our goal, and you are the advance party. โ
"Can we ever come back?"
Anvina shook her head, "I don't know, but the Grand Wizard has no intention of letting you come back. He needed someone to stay in the wilderness and sow the seeds of wisdom. โ
"Seeds?" Cheron nodded, "I seeโ"
"Is there a more specific order, or plan of action?"
"No, that's what I'm going to tell you next. Once there, you are free to move around, just try to live. โ
Looking at Cheron, who was a little dazed, Anvena continued: "Don't think too much, it's not about danger. The gods look down on the world, they just don't want to be part of the struggles and calculations of mortals. How to survive, that's a question that mortals need to consider. โ
Cheren couldn't help but ask rhetorically, "Aren't they afraid that someone will react negatively and someone will spread hatred?"
"Don't be afraid, for this is also the arrangement of the gods. Anvena took a deep breath, "It's been ten years, and the gods have long controlled everything in the world. Whether it is life and death, joy and sorrow, or love and hatred, they are all part of the authority of the gods. โ
"What do you meanโI should choose my faith too?"
Anvina nodded, "This is also one of the purposes of my visit, if you are willing to choose to believe in the gods of light, I can also allocate resources for you." Of course, this is not coercion, let alone coercion, because there has long been an agreement between the gods - freedom of belief. โ
