Chapter 3: The Way of Salvation

After a long time, looking at Raven who fell to the ground, Huo Lun slowly walked towards her, his heart was mixed, and then his mind reflected the brave mermaid who was not afraid of the raging waves, the water elemental magic of the merman clan surrounded her side, and the water magic dominated by consciousness and magic extinguished the remaining flames on the land, and the final shock tide wet Raven's hair and face, making her sober a lot.

"My name is Horen, do you have any plans? … Raven. ”

Raven's grey eyes looked at Horen distractedly, "Ionian mage, if you want to kill me to avenge your land, do it." “

Raven then got up, picked up the broken sword that had been broken beside him, and headed it at Huo Lun, with a dead and desperate expression, as if waiting for the judgment of the god of death.

Horen then replied in the tone of an Ionian orthodox, "I seek enlightenment and balance for my land, not killing, come with me, you have other ways to find salvation." ”

The once radiant warrior is decadent and distracted at this moment, which makes Horen extremely sentimental, Raven will embark on her path of redemption and find his own purpose and home, but Horlen's psychology faintly ignites a fire, since he has come here, he must let them go better and let the hero's brilliance shine even more.

After a slight hesitation, Raven tore some strips of cloth from the corpse to wrap the debris on the ground, and followed Horn all the way. Huo Lun seemed to walk calmly and lightly, but in fact, he was extremely panicked in his heart.

At this moment, Huo Lun turned his back to this fierce general, and if her obsession changed slightly, Huo Lun could die, even if he now had the top magic of the heroes, he was still afraid of the sudden plot, but as soon as he spoke, he could only move forward, and he could only pray to cross the Navoli battle zone as soon as possible.

Along the way, Horen's heart is full of thoughts, if it develops normally, Raven will beg Elder Soma at night to completely destroy the greatsword, and then indirectly kill the elder, Yasuo is suspected of constantly fleeing to investigate, and finally has no choice but to slash his brother, everything is the beginning of evil consequences, and it must not develop like this.

Soon came to a village, there were few people in the village, Huo Lun's heart was cold, the young strong men may have died in the explosion just now, but Raven's redemption and confusion must face the fear and sin in his heart.

Horn then turned to face Raven at the gate of the village, "The blood and the war have passed for a short time, there is no point in blindly escaping and banishing, this village has lost most of its guardian power, most of the warriors died in that explosion, do you understand Raven." ”

Raven's eyes flickered slightly, guilt, self-blame, sadness, and many complicated emotions crossed his face, "Do you want me to accept their judgment?" ”

"That's part of it, you can make up for your mistakes for this village and the land, if that country is no longer loved by you, if your faith has been diluted."

Raven was silent as Horren continued, "The broken sword can be a confirmation of the past, you can bury it, but you can't destroy it, because it's an escape from the past, you know! ”

Huo Lun immediately wanted to enter the village with Raven, and instantly a gust of wind hit his side, Huo Lun panicked and immediately built a stone wall from the ground, the wind hit the stone wall, the stone wall was shattered instantly, and the diffuse air pressure made Huo Lun accidentally fall directly to the ground, rubbing a body of dust.

Raven's expression was serious, his muscles tensed, and his body instinctively faced the direction of the wind.

Horen quickly got up, only to see a man in a samurai costume walking with a slightly curved long sword, and his words revealed a dead air, "Noxians." ”

The familiar figure, the wind resistance swordsmanship containing strong natural elements, made Huo Lun excited and headache.

"I have brought this Noxian man with me in search of enlightenment and redemption, and I hope you will understand, Mr. Yasuo."

"You know me? Your costume is very special, I've never seen it, where are you from? ”

The suspicious words made Horen's whole body nervous, and Horen replied carefully, "A traveler who wants to help Ionia in the midst of war. “

"In that case, come with me." Yasuo pointed his sword forward, his eyes full of vigilance and scrutiny.

Huo Lun slowly walked in the direction pointed by Yasuo Jianfeng, carefully observing the inheritor of the Wind Resisting Sword Technique, at this time he did not experience the wrongful escape and all kinds of misfortunes, he was still full of spirit and outstanding temperament, which made Huo Lun's heart extremely relieved.

The figure of the old man plowing the field and the dead silence of the village all the way made Raven's heart grateful for the sin, so he involuntarily lowered his head in shame and grief.

Soon they walked to a temple, where Horn expected to be the place where Elder Suma was, and entered the temple, where the simple and elegant decoration, the delicate Ionian silk was spread out on a long table, and an old man dressed in a white and red robe walked in.

"Elder Soma, it's a pleasure to meet you." Horen bowed his head slightly in respect.

"He brought this Noxian man in search of enlightenment and redemption, what do you think you should do, Elder?"

Soma's old eyes then examined Holren and Raven, and then asked Raven a question.

"What's your name, Outlander?"

"Raven." Raven's tone was lifeless, his head kept down.

"What sinful deeds have you done?"

Raven was silent when he heard this, and when Horren saw this, he replied for Raven, "Raven once fought for his country and glory, and the blade took a lot of blood, and now he longs to start again and find salvation. ”

"Thank you for informing, young man, but personal enlightenment and balance are up to you, and I hope Raven can answer for himself."

"I'm sorry, Elder Soma."

"They were all killed by me, and they were all killed by me." The silent Raven suddenly burst out with this sentence, which made the monks and everyone present exclaim.

Elder Soma's expression was serious, and he immediately asked, "Can you tell me who it is?" ”

"The warriors of this village, and the soldiers who followed me, all, all of them were killed by me!"

A look of disgust, hatred, guilt and a slightly confused and helpless expression swirled in the broken hair that bowed his head, and Yasuo on his side instantly drew his sword angrily and wanted to slash at Raven, and the power of the wind on his side quickly condensed.

"Stop, are you going to kill in the temple!" Elder Soma's shouting stopped Yasuo's actions.

"This man is a heinous crime, and he should be put to death immediately to comfort the creatures of this land and the sacrificed warriors!" Yasuo scolded Raven angrily, his expression extremely hateful.

"He is here to seek salvation, and it is very easy to be executed simply, but it does not maintain the balance of the world, nor can it repair the damage caused by the crime to the people, your cultivation should hone more peace of mind, Yasuo."

After Elder Soma said these words meaningfully, Yasuo's expression was still dissatisfied but much more relaxed, and at the same time, in the afterglow of Raven's eyes, he saw some old people around the temple, and felt their common shortcomings; have lost loved ones.

Afterwards, Elder Soma said, "I am here to enlighten and guide this lost person, and may the spirit of all things forgive and comfort her, and let Raven repair and compensate all the families in the village who have been poisoned by the war." ”

Raven's words and verdict shocked Raven, and at the same time, the approval of most of the monks around him made Raven's heart feel a warm current. Horren watched with a smile as this happened, but Yasuo's displeasure and frowning made Horen worried.

Elder Soma understands Raven from an individual perspective, understanding that war is an individual fighting for the faith and glory of different nations, not the original intention of slaughter. Now that the faith and glory of the past have been lost, and this person is no longer the enemy of Ionia, why should he be exterminated, and the amendage for the rest of his life is a better relief and salvation.

With such perspective and understanding, Horn had a lot of good feelings about the elder who had unfortunately passed away, and even if there was no sentence from the council of Ionians, he still gave the most appropriate decision, knowing that any justice needs to be understood and enlightened, and he is indeed a qualified elder.

Out of the temple, Raven looked confused, not knowing where to go, and Horen immediately whispered in Raven's ear, "Follow me." ”

Holren and Revan soon made their way to the head of the village, followed by Yasuo and some of the monks, and Holren walked outside a larger house at the head of the village and shouted inside, "Is anyone there?" ”

I saw a group of elderly farmers come out of their homes and ask suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?" “

"Old man, I know that you are not in good health, my friend plans to live here, she can help you plow and cultivate, can you take her in kindly."

"Of course no problem, if you don't mind, you can also live with the child, you don't need to care about the farm work, my son will help us when he comes back, you can just stay."

The old man's kind face and smile made Huo Lun feel extremely guilty and moved. However, in front of everyone's eyes, if they vaguely deceived their son's death, it would undoubtedly be a betrayal.

Horen spoke sadly and told the old couple of the sad news, "Your son has been very honorably defending his homeland, and has returned to the embrace of the spirit of nature. ”

When the old man heard this, a look of grief immediately appeared on his face, and then he hugged each other in pain, Yasuo behind him was emotional, and the wind element in the air faintly had a tendency to riot.

Horren immediately soothed, "We are very saddened by what happened to your son, and I hope we can be allowed to do something for you to make up for the guilt in our hearts." ”

The old couple wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes, nodded slowly, and stretched out their hands to signal Huo Lun and Raven to come in.

The warmth and harmony of the Ionians, regardless of nationality and race, stems partly from the inheritance of traditional rituals and the extension of ideas, but the kindness of the nation's heart is so real that for the first time, Horen has some deep and genuine feelings for this land.

The old couple's reception of Raven marked the beginning of Raven's atonement, and the monks and Yasuo slowly left around him, and Yasuo shouted into the house, "I will keep an eye on you at all times, and if you dare to have any bad intentions about the Gleasons, I will execute you immediately." ”
