Travels to the Holy Light Continent

Chapter 122 Encountering Dove

Wushuang and I rode Huo'er on the boundless fields. The selection of the Saint would be held in a month, so Wushuang and I dressed up as mercenaries and traveled while having fun.

"Third brother, this is Yan State, we should be careful. By the way, father has been ordered to protect His Majesty and Princess Bing, why don't you go?"

"I'm too lazy to go. His Majesty's decree didn't mention that I must go with him. Anyway, we just need to arrive on time in a month, right? Isn't it great for the two of us to be free like this?"

"Ok!"

Huoer drove us for another dozen miles, and we met five mercenaries, one of whom was a woman with a leg injury. The kind-hearted Wushuang then cast a light recovery spell.

"Okay! Thank you, my name is Dove, and I'm a mercenary swordsman!"

"My name is Ye Fan, and I'm a magician. This is my sister Wushuang, who is also a magician." I said.

"Are you going to the Holy City?" Dove asked.

"Yes, how did you know?" I asked.

"The selection of the Saint will be held next month, so many girls who can do magic are going to the Holy City to participate in the election. If they are selected, wouldn't they be able to rise to the top? So many girls still want to join in the fun." Dove said with a smile.

"Yes! We think so too!" I followed Dove's words.

"Since we are going the same way, let's go together! This way we can all take care of each other!" Dove said.

"Okay!"

I just happened to need someone to cover my identity, and it turned out to be what I wanted.

"These are my friends, Archer Kerry, Warrior Loki, Magician Heller, and Magician William!" Dove introduced.

So the seven of us set off together. After walking for a while, I felt a little regretful because the five of them were walking. I had to give my seat to Dove out of embarrassment. I kept criticizing them in my heart. What the hell, they were so poor and yet they were mercenaries, and five of them didn’t even have a horse.

"Dove, why are you going to the Holy City to join in the fun when you guys don't have any female magicians?" I asked.

"No, our main goal is to find the jumping knife!" said Dove.

"Isn't the Jumping Dagger a sacred object of the night elves?"

"Oh! I didn't realize you have such profound knowledge that you even know this! Yes, we accidentally obtained the scabbard of the jumping knife. Legend has it that the jumping knife and the scabbard are in tune with each other. From what I know from ancient books, the last time the jumping knife appeared was at Baozi Mountain, one hundred kilometers near the Holy City, so we want to try our luck together!" Dove said.

I saw a lie in Dove's eyes, but I didn't point it out. After all, I lied too. So we chatted idly.

"By the way, Ye Fan, where are you from?" Dove asked casually.

"We are from Qin!"

"I heard that there is a nine-year-old war god named Xuanyuan Qingyun in Qin State who is very powerful. Did you know that? He seems to be about the same age as you!"

"Yeah, I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it!"

“I heard that the Plato he established has no oppression and all beings are equal. Is that true?”

"Well, I went there once, and it was indeed like that!"

"What kind of person do you think he is?"

"I don't know, what do you think?" I pretended to be stupid.

“I think he’s a great hero!”

“How come you see?”

"He was able to break the tradition and establish Plato of equality, which shows that he had extraordinary insight. He was able to capture Aetius alive, which shows that he was extremely wise. He was able to lead the peace talks among the three kingdoms, which shows that he was kind-hearted. Can't such a person be called a hero?"
