Chapter 36: Transformation
About three hours later, the westbound convoy turned around and continued in the direction of the Aya outpost.
People were holding the ashes of their loved ones with sad faces, and suppressed cries were heard from time to time.
Experiencing a 'betrayal' is far more demoralizing than death.
Although in the end, they survived, but they ...... I don't know what to live for.
Even if he went to Aiya's outpost now, it was only because he habitually obeyed the decision of the original team leader Pelt.
As for more?
They don't know.
A daze appeared on everyone's face, Qin Ran's gaze swept over one by one, and finally, it landed on the face of the high priest of the Harvest Temple opposite, Pellet.
Same with those people.
At this moment, the original high priest of the Harvest Temple was also at a loss.
Even, the wound on the severed arm began to bleed again, and it was not known.
A gentle glow appeared in Qin Ran's hands.
With the [Dawn Knight Forging Technique] as the core, the Meridian Inheritance Technique [Healing Technique] exerted its due effect, and the wounds of the High Priest of the Harvest Temple healed quickly.
And this time, it finally made the old priest react.
"Thank you, thank you."
The other party said in a dry voice.
"No, you don't."
"I'm here for them."
Qin Ran pointed to the people accompanying him outside the car window.
Following Qin Ran's fingers, the old priest looked out of the car window.
Look at the face that is exactly like his.
The old priest's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and tears couldn't help but flow.
"Why? Why? โ
"Why did His Majesty do this?"
"If it really comes to the last moment, we will protect him with our lives, why should he turn his back on us?"
The murmuring voice was full of questions.
"Why?"
"Of course it's because they're selfish!"
"They will only believe in themselves!"
"As for us?"
"It's just a bunch of fools!"
Awakened from a coma, Rivwitzer was bound by the temple's special shackles, and he leaned against the rickety carriage, looking at the old priest full of pain, and couldn't help but sneer.
The old priest did not answer.
It's just a gesture of more and more pain, curled up.
Looking at the appearance of the old priest, the depraved young man, a trace of happiness flashed in his eyes, and then, he looked at Qin Ran.
He wanted to ridicule Qin Ran, just as he ridiculed the old priest.
He wanted to make Qin Ran feel the pain as well.
And then......
A footprint appeared on his face.
Bang!
The power of excellent control did not allow the power to be too great, nor did it disperse the power in the slightest, and it all acted on the heads of the fallen young people.
Immediately, pain accompanied by vertigo filled the head of the fallen young man.
Even, the other party couldn't even sit still.
Just fell into the carriage.
"You ......"
Bang!
The depraved young man struggled to get up, but then a kick shut him up completely.
And Qin Ran, who kicked out two kicks, didn't look at the other party.
Although he left the other party's small life, it does not mean that he will be kind to the other party.
In other words, being able to become a prisoner is already Qin Ran's greatest mercy.
"You want to know the answer?"
Qin Ran looked at the painful old priest and asked.
"Hmm."
The old priest looked up and replied in the affirmative.
"They want to know, too."
"And, definitely more than you do."
"Because, they have pinned all their hopes not only on the god of the harvest, but also on youโthe former has let them down, and the latter?"
"It's gradually letting them down."
Qin Ran pointed to the people outside the car window and said lightly.
"......"
"You've experienced betrayal, and you know the pain."
"They know that too, so can you bear to let them experience it one more time?"
"If that's the case, I've saved you for nothing!"
Qin Ran interrupted the old priest's words almost rudely, grabbed the old priest's collar, and threw the other party out of the car window.
Thump.
The unsuspecting old priest fell heavily to the ground.
The dazed people around were taken aback by this scene, and they looked at the old priest who had fallen into the dirt in surprise, and their bodies instinctively rushed over.
"High Priest Pellet, are you alright?"
"High Priestess, are you alright?"
"High Priest, how are you?"
Not only soldiers and knights, but also civilians gathered one after another.
The greetings and the concern on his face made the old priest who was helped up tremble.
The pain of betrayal, in the warmth of greetings, began to dissipate.
The old priest thought of Qin Ran's words.
He suddenly realized that he was far from alone.
He also needs to be responsible for more people.
Whew, whew!
His wheezing unconsciously became heavy.
The eye sockets were red again.
But.
He held back.
He held back his tears.
He didn't want to be embarrassed by the people who cared about him in front of him.
Because, it will make things worse at hand.
The old priest adjusted his breathing steadily, and with the help of the man, he walked to the front of the carriage, where the coachman was, and he looked at the continuous procession in his field of vision, and took a deep breath.
"I know the pain in everyone's hearts."
"But such pain will not defeat us!"
"Because, we who have been betrayed have also been saved-Lord Lane!"
"He came from the Aya outpost at great risk."
"He's not...... Believer, he just wants to be able to save more people! โ
"And he did!"
"He saved us, and he saved our lives."
"Maybe Lord Ryan doesn't want to reciprocate."
"But I don't think we should repay the favor, let alone waste the second life that Lord Lane gave me - I am willing to spend the rest of my life serving Lord Lane, not only to repay his kindness, but also because he made me understand your importance."
"Now!"
"Let's march towards the Aya outpost!"
"There, we will have a new life!"
As he spoke, the old priest glanced apologetically at the carriage.
He thought that he had taken advantage of Qin Ran's life-saving grace, which made him feel ashamed.
But he had to.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for everyone in front of you to cheer up quickly.
The expressions of the people in front of him changed slightly with the words of the high priest, and some of them even bowed directly in the direction of the carriage.
Qin Ran saw this scene.
Feeling the flames surrounded by chaos in his mind, he jumped again, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
That's what he wants: the best he can get without his involvement.
Of course.
This is not the end.
It's still a long time.
"Hmph, the reason why they listen to you is because of your status as a high priest, they are in awe of this identity, and, for a while, forget about being betrayed by the God of Harvest, once they react, you ......"
Bang!
Another kick, and the carriage immediately fell silent.
