Chapter 352: The End of the Journey
It was destined to be an unquiet morning, as the church, the town's center of power, was burned down overnight, leaving nothing but ruins in its place. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Even the Bishop, God's spokesman, was killed in the fire, and the perpetrator, the merchant Edward, was also killed by the Church soldiers who arrived later.
No one knows how Edward, as an ordinary person, managed to do this, and the affair between him and the Bishop was no secret, and others took it for granted that the cause of the incident was the unequal distribution of the spoils between the two.
The town was thrown into chaos for a moment, the Church's army was busy trying to stabilize the order, and the hunt for the demon-possessed girl was put on hold for at least until a new bishop arrived.
Of course, it was not that no one suspected that the murder of the bishop was committed by the devil, and Edward was only deceived and used, but the stakes were so high that no one was willing to take responsibility for it, so in the end he was convicted in the name of Edward's murder of the bishop.
As for the reaction of the townspeople, the reaction was much simpler and purer, and the bishop had died suddenly and tragically, and everyone seemed to be celebrating the streets as if it were a festival, and as for the dead merchant Edward, not many people cared.
After a long time, the girl who turned into a giant wolf gradually evolved into a poignant love story in the town, and the traveling merchant as a human and the girl who was a wolf clan fell in love with each other, and even set up a ceremony called "Valentine's Day" for this purpose, on which young men and women talk to each other and meet for a lifetime.

"Did something happen last night?"
When Hero woke up, most of his injuries had recovered, and a pair of beautiful eyes turned in the direction of the town, as if he noticed something unusual.
Xiao Bai didn't expect her sense of smell to be so sensitive, even if she was thousands of miles away, she could find some changes, worthy of being the god of harvest who guarded the earth, but said with a smile on her face: "No, nothing, at least the two of us sleep separately." ”
The doubt in Helo's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Didn't the church chase after him?"
"They seem to have given up. Xiao Bai glanced at her and said, "Probably because he thinks it's impossible to catch us, or because he is afraid of being killed by demons." ”
"Where are we going next?" asked Herro, looking up at the blue sky.
Xiao Bai followed the content in his memory and said: "I have inquired before, a place name in your hometown of Yoiz from a long time ago can only determine a general direction now, as for whether it can be found is still unknown, and even after so much time, maybe this place has disappeared." ”
"We'll just have to keep going north now, hoping that something along the way will bring back memories of your past and find the real Yoiz. ”
There was a confused look in Harrow's eyes, she had been away from her hometown for too long, so long that she was not sure if she could remember the past, her eyes looked at the not very generous back of the merchant who was traveling by car, although this time of time together made her have some special feelings for this human man, but compared to the god with an eternal lifespan, the decades of human life are too short, maybe she just turned around, the traveling companion next to her turned into a pile of white bones.
Xiao Bai didn't know what she was thinking, but she felt a trace of sadness and loneliness from her expression, was it the cowardice brought about by getting closer and closer to her hometown, or was it because she was about to be separated from herself?
This depression did not last long, and as Harrow fully recovered from his injuries and regained his spirits, the two of them made their way north, through towns and cities, whether it was rain or sun, or all kinds of hardships and dangers, they all worked together to overcome them together.
There are challenges from nature, and there are all kinds of man-made difficulties, but no matter what happens, there is always a danger in the end, and Helo has not encountered a similar dilemma since the last time he turned into a wolf real body.
What she didn't know was that these difficulties had been solved by Xiao Bai with absolute force in secret, although she was confused in her heart, she didn't suspect that she was just an ordinary person on the head of the traveling businessman around her.
Xiao Bai is not without gains, in this journey, he completed the second side quest, the content is to gain the trust of Helo, this task is much more difficult than he imagined, the other party is a sensitive person, once he chooses to believe in a person, he will believe for a lifetime, so it was only recently that he got a hint of the completion of the side quest two.
During this long journey, the exact location of Yoiz has not been found, most of the towns do not even have a record of the place name, and only a few towns have some fragments that have been passed down, but they are only treated as legends.
Despite this, Harrow had no intention of giving up, not because of longing for her hometown, but because it was the only spiritual sustenance she had since she lost her role as the god of the harvest, and also because of the contract with the traveling merchant.
Harrow sometimes thinks that even if she keeps traveling, it doesn't matter if she can't find her hometown, Yoiz, as long as she has someone with her.
However, the human life span is like a finger and often makes her feel distressed, and the time of travel is spent in this kind of happiness and struggle, and she will also worry that one day she will get tired of this happiness, because happy times are always short-lived.
Xiao Bai had a feeling of traveling to the end of the world, but he didn't get tired of it, and even feared that one day this trip would stop, and the virtuous wolf would find his hometown, and after he completed this task, he would return to another world, where someone was waiting for him, and there were also many things to do.
No one knew where the end of the trip was, but as time went on, the two gradually became more and more reticent, and their faces became much less joyful.
Just as Harrow was about to end the trip and Xiao Bai was about to abandon the mission, they finally found a clue to Yoiz in a town.
However, the person who provided the clue had a request, that there was a group of wolves in the forest near the town, and that if they could kill or drive the wolves away, they would hand over the clue.
Helo seemed a little absent-minded about this, although Xiao Bai had other ways to force clues, but thinking that this might be the end of this trip, it wouldn't be long before he would return to reality, so he accepted the deal as the last memory between the two.
