The wind of Mirror Lake blew gently, blowing through the meadows and woods on the shore of the lake, and all the way into the distance.

Two people standing in the wind looked at each other quietly.

"I ...... Strengthened your faith? Aren't you a paladin of the Temple of Light? Your Faith ......"

"Titles are just a sign of superficial strength, and faith has never been anything else," Elarich said. After becoming a paladin, I was ...... at one point I was shaken, I was confused by many strange phenomena, and I tried to find answers, but I couldn't get them. So I stopped asking questions and praying, and I earned the title of "The Silencer." But from today—"

With an unwavering light in his eyes, Elarich continued, "—until the day I die, my faith in the Goddess of Light will never waver again. ”

Rein looked at the young woman who already had the title of Paladin, and was shocked by her gaze, and said, "That's ...... What about the Temple of Light, what are you going to do with it? ”

"The Temple of Light, where believers in the goddess of light gather, is now filled with false believers, and it must be purged and restored to a pure temple," said Elarich. I help you because the Goddess of Light indicates that you will be the one who restores the light. ”

Confused, Rein asked, "What?!" I was just the Holy Son of the Dark See, and now I suddenly became ...... The savior of the Temple of Light? ”

"The same goes for the Holy See of Darkness, she needs to restore the faith of the Goddess of Darkness, not become a tool for careerists to control people's hearts for personal gain, and you will be the one to re-establish people's faith, you need to understand that," said Elarich. ”

Rein felt a little dignified and asked, "Why me?" Why...... Not someone else? I'm just an ordinary person, why did you choose me? ”

"It is God's will." Ellaridge replied.

Rein felt a little ridiculous, he felt a little ridiculous, even a little angry, and he said, "Can God choose people randomly? Why didn't she ask me what I meant? She has something for me to do, so why don't she just show up to me and tell me what to do? If I'm special, why am I so weak now, even a snake, a cow can kill me at any time, what kind of son am I?! ”

Ellaridge obviously didn't expect Rein to be so excited and confused, and she said, "Are you doubting God?" ”

Rein was even more agitated and said, "Why can't I doubt it? I have my free will, and it is my freedom to choose to believe in Him or to spit on Him. Didn't you doubt yourself for a while? Why can't I? I don't like to be told what kind of 'holy son' I am without being asked, I don't like the identity that others have arranged for me, and I don't need others to define my existence! ”

Since arriving in Green Willan, Rhine has been confronted with a series of events, and what he wants is simple: to return to his grandmother. But the longer he stayed in Green Will, the more he found himself involved, which made him feel very uncomfortable. Now irritated by Ellaridge, he let out all his complaints.

An incredible expression appeared on Elarridge's face, and she looked at Rein with an incredulous gaze, as if to say, "Why are you like this?" ”

After spilling out all the resentment in his chest, Rein returned to his usual state. Looking at Elarich's expression as if he was looking at a monster, he felt a little weak. He tried to explain, "Uh...... Well, I'm just whining. ”

Ellaridge still looked at the monster with an expression on her face, and she approached Rein as if she wanted to see the strange flower clearly.

Rein watched this beautiful and powerful girl paper walking towards him, and he actually had an urge to step back, but his feet were pinned in place and could not be shaken.

Elarridge walked within a step of Rein, causing Rein to hold his breath, as if he was afraid that the exhaled breath would offend her.

Elarich stared into Rein's eyes and said, "You are not controlled by any shackles of thought, you are a free man, and that's why you will be the chosen one." ”

"How did you come to this conclusion, I just made a casual complaint," Rein said. ”

Elarich shook his head and said, "You're right, I shouldn't have defined you. Everyone is free, and I respect your freedom. I will continue to use my eyes and my mind to seek the real answer. If you are the one God has ordained, you will make the right choice—of your own will. ”

Rein didn't know what to say, and quietly looked at Elaririch's bright, deep starry eyes.

“……”

Elarich was silent, as she had been at the beginning.

"It's been a long time since I've said so much, since I became the Whisperer......" Elarridge finally looked away from Rein, her face flashing red.

Rein asked, "So what are you going to do now?" ”

"I will watch you until the moment of fate. Goodbye—"

With that, Ellaridge leaped backwards in a graceful gesture and flew off into the air.

Rein stood still, watching her agile figure disappear into the sky above Mirror Lake.

"So what do you mean by looking at me all the time......" Rein scratched his head, unsure of his answer.

Standing by the Mirror Lake for a while, Rein looked at the surface of the Mirror Lake in the distance. The chirping of birds and insects and the sound of the wind echoed in the ears, restoring the undisturbed calm of the meadow.

"Uh-huh-"

There was a strange sound from the grass around him, and Rein was alert for a while, thinking of the big snake that had just brought him down the hillside, wouldn't it come again?!

Rhine did not dare to linger any longer, and set off to run in the direction he had predetermined.
