The summer evening breeze blew gently through the fence outside the door, bringing a trace of residual heat. Ulysses, who had suffered an unfortunate incident during the day, was sitting at the desk in his room, reading carefully the precious religious books that he had recently arrived.

This is an ancient book that comprehensively introduces the origin, development, and growth history of the Most High God Cult. For Ulysses, whose future ambition is to become a priest, it is a rare and good book.

However, it is clear that the content of this book is too obscure for him at a young age. Many of the events and problems mentioned in it are simply incomprehensible to a child of his age.

After all, this is not an enlightenment book for children, but a religious book for scholars to study. It is too difficult to expect a child to understand the interdependence and antagonism between ancient religions and royal power.

Despite his efforts and the thick dictionary he had brought in, the dictionary would not explain to him the profound questions. So in the end, he had to give up further study for the time being, which was not an area that he could immediately understand.

That girl, I don't know how it's now...... After putting down the book in his hand, Ulysses naturally remembered the drowning girl he had rescued from the river during the day. Although there were some misunderstandings later, for him, even if he did it again, he would definitely make the same choice.

In the end, if only there was no extra way to test her heartbeat, Ulysses blushed a little at the thought of that embarrassing scene. In retrospect, it seems that he did something rude to that girl.

But he couldn't do that, and seeing the girl breathe weakly, it was the only first aid he knew. His light magic is still very weak, and he is not yet capable of casting healing spells, so there is really no way.

In the end, the girl was defeated by Lashya, and as a result, she was completely unconscious, and was sent to the house of the village elder, the village chief, by Lashya. I've heard that the injury isn't very serious, but it seems that it was due to a blow to the head (from Rasha's Shin Ascendantui), and he hasn't woken up yet.

In this village of Mira, the village chief is the greatest authority and the richest person in the village of Mira. There, she should be well taken care of.

Anyway, where the hell did that girl come from? Judging by the clothes she was wearing, it was clear that she wasn't from the surrounding villages. Even in the town closest to Mira Village, I had never seen such beautiful clothes, and the magic gems on the clothes did not look like forgeries, but real gems with magical powers.

It's like a princess running out of a fairy tale. Could it be that in the depths of the forest, there really is a witch who imprisons the princess?

On a summer night, Ulysses couldn't help but start thinking crankily. For a child of his age, the world is wonderful and fresh, with new discoveries every day and something different from before every outing.

The future has infinite possibilities, and the world is big and incredible. Ulysses felt that he would see many, many things and go to many, many places in the future.

With the lovely Yulia, of course. Without his care, the frail Yulia would not be able to do anything. If he can really become a priest and recruit his own guards, it is not impossible to travel to this world with Yuria.

As far as he knew, as long as he had formal priest qualifications, it was easy to find adventurers who were willing to travel together, after all, the assistance and healing magic of the priest was a very rare resource on this continent, and all adventurers were happy to team up with the priest profession.

Without a strong body, dexterous hands and eyes, he could only pin his hopes on his meager talent for light magic. He thanked the Great Supreme God for quietly leaving him a window to the divine auxiliary classes as he closed the door to other powerful combat classes.

"Thank God for the bread and food that we can live freely on the earth...... After the regular prayer, Ulysses turned off the light, returned to his bed, and slowly closed his eyes.

..................

Late at night, the stars were shining, and the soft moonlight shone through the cracks in the windows, leaving a faint silver hue on the ground. Ulysses, who should have fallen asleep early, suddenly opened his eyes.

Just now, he had a dream, a very strange dream.

In his dreams, the silver angel with huge wings seemed to say something to him, and soon, a girl wielding two swords stood proudly in front of him, her bright red eyes full of stubbornness and unyielding, and the black-clad magician looked at him sadly, as if he was about to leave this world.

However, he soon forgot. I don't know when it started, and it's easy for him to forget the things in his dreams. Maybe it's because he can't understand such a complicated thing when he is a child, so he naturally forgets it.

Those memories were unreal, they didn't exist, there were no angels by his side, no girls wielding double swords, and no black-clad magicians. Accompanying him is his frail sister and the energetic childhood friend Maraxia.

But the dream just now was a little different from the past, and at the end of the dream, something appeared, something that felt familiar to him but very unfamiliar. That strange feeling, even now when the dream has woken up and the memory of the dream is quickly gone, is still vividly still in his mind.

"Bang, bang!" his heart beat violently, as if something was making a sound to him, beckoning him to pass.

Driven by that feeling, Ulysses unconsciously got dressed and quietly walked out of the house alone.

The village of Mira is quiet in the middle of the night, and nothing can be heard except the chirping of insects. Several of the village's hounds, raised to guard against wild beasts, blinked lazily, oblivious to Ulysses as they walked in front of them.

As the guards of the village, they have long remembered the smell of the children in the village, and know that they must not show their teeth to these children, or a terrible nightmare will befall them - from some powerful witch.

"Ahh......h Is the village chief's house going to attack at night, is it the eldest lady of the village chief's house or the little princess who fell into the water that afternoon?"

The hounds, who felt the breath of the most terrifying creatures in the village, lay down en masse, and did not dare to take a breath, let alone bark. Animals are more accurate in judging strength and weakness than humans, and the strongest creature in the village is undoubtedly the terrible witch.

Ulysses walked through the village of Mira at night with a strange feeling, as if he were not alone on this dark path. Around him, there are other people, or other "things".

That feeling has been vague in the past. Since he was a child, he could feel something that ordinary people couldn't feel, and whenever an old man in the village naturally returned to the arms of the supreme god, he would feel something similar.

It was as if those kind and kind old men did not leave immediately, and when their bodies had returned to the embrace of the earth, he could always faintly feel their breath around their relatives, especially the children.

It's a kind, nostalgic flavor, without the slightest evil. Sometimes this feeling lasts for a long time and then disappears before you know it. The longest of them stayed with his granddaughter for about two years.

And this time, he felt something more. It's not exactly human, it's other, very small, but it's also a taste of little life that has tried to exist. In this darkness, they are everywhere.

It made him feel like he wasn't walking alone on the road in the middle of the night, and that something seemed to be waiting for him in front of the darkness. With each step forward, you feel like you're one step closer to that mysterious source.

Fresh, exciting, unknown, just like the first time he quietly left home and walked in the dark. In the infinite darkness, he did not feel afraid, especially at night when there were stars, and his mind was even more peaceful than during the day.

It's a secret of his own, a secret that even his mother and sister don't know. I don't know why, but he sometimes has this sudden urge to look for something in the dark. When he feels this way, he quietly leaves his home and walks in the dark.

Only this time, this impulse finally found the target, and clearly told him where the target was.

Closer, closer, closer to that location, the stronger that feeling in my heart. That intense desire, like a boiling flame, constantly stimulated Ulysses's mind.

Finally, he came to his target, the most beautiful building in the entire village of Mira, located at the back of the village, slightly closer to the hill.

It is a small manor-like building with a large front yard and lawn with a small fountain in the middle of the lawn. A large field of vines hung with purple grapes covered the gazebo next to the pool, giving off the fragrant smell of violets.

On the high roof hangs the mark of the cross, which represents the blessing of the Church of the Most High God, and also represents some kind of special sign.

This is the home of the village chief of Mira Village. And the thing that tempted Ulysses was somewhere in the village chief's house.

............

After 12 o'clock tonight, please vote for a few more recommendations, and guess what will happen when one of the most important moments in Ulysses' past has arrived.
