Many years ago, when Tarrant's father was still in the palace, there was a mage friend who often visited, and later, the mage went to work at the Academy of Magic, and became the director of the institute, he was Calpeber, Catherina's teacher, and Tarrant always respected him as a teacher, a knowledgeable wise man, who once taught Tarrant some magic knowledge.

When the rising sun was obscured by the towers of the Institute, Tarrant was standing in front of the Institute of Magic, and the Director's office was at the top of the tallest tower. A room without stairs, there are only two ways to enter that room, teleportation or levitation, no one knows why it was designed like this, it was just designed like that, Tarrant still remembers how excited he was when he was a child when he followed his father into the dean's office for the first time, it seemed to be only one step away from the sky, and the people on the ground shrunk to the size of a fist, and he happily stayed at the dean's place for a day, in a blink of an eye, it was almost twenty years ago.

The old man was not in the hall, it was a bit early, and Tarrant was a man who wanted to do it right away, so when he wanted to see someone, he would wait early in the morning.

Tarrant knocked on the old man's door, he must still be asleep since he was not in the hall, and the room was on the side of the door.

The old man rubbed his eyes and opened the door, his clothes draped over his body, "Ha, Tarrant, I say who would disturb a poor old man enjoying a rare lazy sleep on a quiet morning." ”

It was rude to do that, but Tarrant didn't have much affection for the old man, and he wasn't sorry, he pointed to the tallest tower, "Is the dean here?"

"Your fiancée hasn't come yet, actually, she didn't come yesterday at all, and her enthusiasm for studying has faded a little these days. The old man spoke of his findings in a mocking manner, and he expected that Tarrant would be very concerned about the gossip.

"Is the Dean here?" Tarrant asked again, in a loud voice.

"You're coming too early, even if your fiancée will come, you should go to her house early in the morning and not wake me up," the old man said of Katrina.

"I'm talking about—is the Dean here?" Tarrant pressed his right hand to his forehead, helpless at the uncommunicative creature in front of him.

"No wonder you have a character like this, you are always taught by your fiancée, learn to think about others", the old man looked helpless.

"My fiancée is not the dean!I'm looking for my fiancée!" Tarrant roared and splashed the spit on the old man's face, but he immediately realized the mistake just now, and quickly added before the old man could speak, "No, no, I'm looking for the dean!"

The old man smiled strangely, as if he was enjoying something that pleased him, which was not a good sign, and Tarrant thought about it for a moment, and added, "She's not my fiancée either!"

"Well, young man, I won't sue her for this," the old man said in a great victory, with a mixture of sympathy and mockery in his expression towards Tarrant.

A mage came in from outside, dressed formally, and Tarrant left the old man and walked towards the mage, and he politely asked, "Sir, when will the dean come?"

The mage looked at Tarrant and replied indifferently, "Who knows, a soldier should be in charge of the general's working hours?"

Touching a nail, Tarrant paused, still politely asked, "Can you send me to the dean's office?"

"I will only dissociate and die, not teleport", the mage's words were cold, and after saying this, he walked forward on his own.

Damn morning, with some people out of tune, Tarrant looked at the mage's back and sighed, after the incident with the mouthfisher, he secretly decided not to curse anyone again, but to sigh to express his depression.

The old man wrapped the clothes he was wearing tightly and said, "The dean won't come, he hasn't been here for a while, maybe ......" He thought for a long time, and didn't pick up the next half sentence, who knows what the dean might do.

"Oh", sort of a reply to the old man's answer, and Tarrant turned to leave.

The dean not only has to deal with the affairs of the research institute, but also bears part of the magical logistics of the imperial team, and is also a busy man. Tarrant walked down the street frustratedly, not knowing who else could help him, the building of the Shelter Light was not far away, however, Ryan would definitely ask Tarrant to continue to complete the investigation of the Psictocks, and the goal of the group leader was to ensure that all factors that threatened the safety of the people were dealt with effectively, rather than to pursue an unsolved case without a mystery.

No one has found any effective clues in that unsolved case, and perhaps, Tarrant should also be mature to face this matter, and the expeditionary force has already ...... All of them died, all of them died in some lonely place, and the black hand behind the scenes will never be discovered, and finally released by history.

Tarrant unconsciously walked in the direction of the White Mist Zone, and a voice shouted in the distance, "Knight, you got up early. He looked up and saw that he was already in the business district, in front of which was the "Faith" equipment store, and the believers stood at the door smiling and greeting, always so energetic, Tarrant smiled bitterly in response.

"You seem to have something on your mind," the believer ushered in, "come and sit in my shop." ”

Tarrant was worried that he had no direction, so he simply followed the believer into the store. In the morning, the commercial area is the least crowded, most of them are not in business, and there is no one in the faith store.

The believer made a cup of hot water, "For what?"

After coming a few times, the believers had been so enthusiastic that Tarrant no longer regarded him as an outsider, and he said truthfully: "A fact that I have always believed in is suddenly no longer a fact. ”

"Do you mean faith?" the other party was slightly curious.

"No, but just as important. "Faith gave Tarrant the will, and that event fueled Tarrant.

"You were deceived?"

"Deception? Yes, so to speak, I deceived myself until I suddenly realized that I couldn't lie to myself anymore. ”

"It's good that you can face up to your lies and bring yourself back to reality. ”

"Back to reality, everything I used to do was in vain, and I kept making mistakes in the time that had passed. Tarrant buried his head in distress and held the cup of hot water in both hands.

"I see, your goals have been deviated, there is one thing that is buried in your heart and has a heavy impact on you, at that time you could not accept the truth, subconsciously imitated the truth you need, and you lived under the drive of this false truth. ”

Tarrant looked up in surprise, what he said was so apt, the past days seemed to be living in his own imagination, in order to satisfy his own desires, the truth of the disappearance of the expeditionary force, Tarrant forced himself to believe that the spirit sucker monster was the black hand.

The believer continued: "If you can recognize this illusion for yourself, it actually means that you have been able to accept this reality, why are you so distressed?"

"All my past efforts have come to naught. ”

"It's an opportunity for you to start over, a new life. ”

"A new life", Tarrant smiled wryly, "how can it be so easy to give up what you have done." ”

"Hahaha, try it to find out", the believer patted Tarrant on the shoulder vigorously, "Do you know how I came here to sell equipment?"

The reason why the believers came to Siant to open a shop is also a mystery, no one knows his real name, where he came from, what he has done, Tarrant frowned, "I don't know, no one knows." ”

"The reason why I chose to quit the adventurous life and settle here with peace of mind is the same reason as you, the loss of motivation", looking at Tarrant's confused eyes, the believer nodded vigorously, "Everyone calls me a believer, but no one knows which god I believe in, to be honest, I don't have faith." ”

"What?" Tarrant's eyes widened, and the believers who had been preaching to arm themselves with the power of faith did not have a main god.

"I used to believe in a god like crazy, and I fought all my life to fulfill her words, until I suddenly found out that all the qiē was false, I couldn't do it, and at the critical moment, I turned my back on my faith and gave up all my previous efforts. After that, I was deeply annoyed and remorseful, and a qiē value was stripped out of my life, just like you are now, with no direction and no purpose. ”

Tarrant looked at the believer, the same situation, he deeply understood, only Tarrant had not yet found a new purpose.

"After my faith was lost, I believed that even a qiē on the redstone could no longer attract my attention, and at that time, I decided to go to Sante to live, I like the place of Sant, it is lively, and I want to sell all the equipment I have collected for half my life, so my current faith is gold. He laughed.

The elf walked out from behind the believer, and she said softly, "The moment your illusions are shattered, as long as you return to your original life trajectory, you will have a new purpose." ”

"It's been affecting me for so long that I can't remember my life," Tarrant said, picking up his glass and taking a sip of hot water.

The elf sat down across from Tarrant, "Forgive me, knight, I see in you fortitude and sacrifice, you are a good warrior of justice, why do you want to change this, no matter what effect that you said to you, it seems to me that you have always been on the right path, your past experiences are not meaningless, and your worth is revealed." ”

The water in Tarrant's cup swayed back and forth along the walls of the cup, and he placed it on the table, and the water calmed down.

"You can choose to leave the past behind and find a place to live a stable life, or you can continue the work of sheltering the Light, and you will always be a hero to the people," the believer said. Perhaps, under the guidance of that false truth, you are also doing the right thing. ”

Tarrant's eyebrows furrowed, past efforts did not give him a satisfactory answer, but contributed to spreading Maxine's miracles, and he should continue to do it.

"Haha, knight, you've figured it out", the believer laughed heartily at the sight of Tarrant's smile again.

"Yes," Tarrant looked at his two friends, "and one more question, you seem to know something about my past. ”

The believer and the elf looked at each other and said, "We have seen you fight, and we are impressed by your bravery and tenacity. ”

"Oh?" Tarrant couldn't remember when this happened.

The believer snapped his fingers suddenly, "I know someone who might be able to help you and guide you on the next path." ”
