Origin Legend: Heroic Hymn

Chapter 131 Conspiracy!

In the quiet night, Dong Yu sat alone on the roof of the hotel, looking at the starry sky, feeling a little lonely. He recalled the scene of that day...

"I don't know who you are! I don't know what kind of magic you used to control my body. But since you are using my body, you should at least satisfy my demands!"

"Tell me what you want, and I'll see if it's worth it for me to fulfill."

"Okay, let's talk about the terms! I'm willing to pay you anything you want, as long as you help me quickly get rid of this group of scum in front of me!"

"Haha! So that's how it is! Okay, I promise you. After all, it won't do me any good if you die now. What I want is very simple!

That is, I will deprive you of your faith. You will become the only person without faith on the continent of Edeos. You will no longer be a believer of the God of Light and the God of Darkness! You will become a heretic on this continent! Is that okay? "

"Haha, this deal is really cheap! Deal! If you help us out of this predicament, I will also give up all my faith and become an outlier on the continent of Edeos!"

"Okay! Then please close your eyes and give up all your feelings!"

……

What happened that day was so magical and yet so real. Feeling his body was no different from that of an ordinary person, Dong Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"Perhaps there will never be a day when my strength will be restored. Losing faith on the continent of Edeos means losing all power..."

"Xiaoyu, you really are..."

Dong Yu was startled by the sudden voice. He immediately turned around and saw Dong Xue with slightly red eyes standing behind him. Dong Yu couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"Hey... now I didn't even notice someone was so close to me... You actually heard me, my sister. I won't hide it from you. I know that everyone's strength has been restored, but I am still like this. You will definitely be suspicious. I will never be able to restore my strength in the future... I have lost my faith..."

Dongxue smiled and sat next to Dongyu, gently touching his head.

"It's okay! I have my sister here! You are getting married now and you are going to have your own family. You should just run the hotel well with Alice in the future!"

"But...I..."

"I know you want to protect us, but you have already done so, haven't you? If you weren't there that day, would we still be able to hold our wedding here? And even if you don't have any power, you can still be my support! Come on, let me lean on you now!"

Dongxue leaned her head gently on Dongyu's shoulder and looked at the stars in the sky.

"Xiaoyu, do you still remember our childhood days? Even though it was a bit hard and we didn't have much strength, weren't we happy together as siblings? How long has it been since we looked at the stars together?"

"Haha! Isn't that because you are too busy?"

Dong Yu smiled jokingly, and Dong Xue also smiled.

"Then I'll have to make more time for you in the future! Oh! Starting tomorrow, Alice will be the one to watch the stars with you!"

"Haha! Who says that you can't watch the stars with your sister just because you're married? Besides! Alice doesn't like watching the stars either!"

Winter Fantasy On the roof, the brother and sister looked at the twinkling stars in the sky and talked about the past. The loneliness caused by the winter rain had long been washed away.

"Thank you, sis..."

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Rita, is this the place? You didn't remember it wrong, did you?"

Ling Feng accompanied Rita to the grove on the edge of Mario Town and waited there for a long time but didn't see a single person.

"How could I remember it wrong? The letter clearly said I came here! Look, isn't this the tallest tree here?"

Rita handed over the letter asking them to come out, and Ling Feng confirmed the contents of the letter again.

"Rita, Uncle Griffin is very happy to hear that you are going to marry your beloved. I wish you happiness in advance. Now that you have started a family, I will give you the dowry that my sister-in-law entrusted me to keep, along with the secrets that I could not tell you before.

At ten o'clock the night before the wedding, come to the grove west of Mario Town. There is a tallest tree there, and we will meet under the tree. Bring your husband Lingfeng with you. As your lover, he has the right to know about you. I will leave immediately, please don't make me wait too long! Your uncle - Griffin. "

When Ling Feng read the letter for the first time, he was so excited that he didn't think there was anything wrong. However, after reading it carefully this time, he found something fishy.

"Rita! Was this letter from Uncle Griffin?"

"Hmm? The handwriting is indeed Uncle Griffin's. It should be written by him. What's wrong, Ling Feng? Is there anything wrong?"

Ling Feng re-examined the contents of the letter and raised his own questions.

"Rita, I thought you said before that Uncle Griffin lived far away, right?"

"Yes, that's why I wanted to send him an invitation so early..."

"Has Uncle Griffin been to Mario Town during this time?"

Gradually Ling Feng felt that something was wrong. Rita was stunned and thought for a while.

"I don't remember him ever mentioning coming to Mario Town. I just know that he traveled around five years ago. Maybe he came here at that time..."

"That's strange. The forest has changed a lot in five years. Maybe there is no tallest tree at all! Besides, no matter how I look at it, this tree is only about six years old. That means even if Uncle Griffin came here before, this tree was still a sapling at that time. Moreover, the age of the trees in the western forest is generally young. I heard that there seemed to be a big fire eight years ago that burned down the entire forest..."

Listening to Ling Feng's narration, Rita couldn't help but become nervous.

"Well, it's possible that I remembered it wrong! Uncle Griffin also traveled around for business after his travels, so it's not impossible that he came to Mario Town at that time!"

Ling Feng nodded, thinking that what Rita said made sense. However, thinking back to the origin of the letter, he once again noticed something wrong.

"Wait, Rita, even if what you said is true, it's still not right! This letter was delivered too late! Think about it, when was this letter delivered?"

"Well, today, what's the problem?"

"This is a big problem! The letter was delivered this morning, but Uncle Griffin came to Mario Town tonight. This is the biggest problem!"

Ling Feng's expression turned a little ugly, but Rita smiled and shook her head.

"Ling Feng, are you thinking too much? What's the problem? Why do I feel it's normal? Stop being suspicious."

Ling Feng's expression became more nervous and he began to be alert to his surroundings.

"Rita, listen to my reasoning and then decide if I am being too suspicious."

"Well, okay, Ling Feng, go ahead and talk. I'm listening!"

Perhaps because Ling Feng was too serious, Rita also became serious. Ling Feng lowered his voice and explained to Rita.

"First, the time on the letter was 15 days ago. How long would it take for the carriage to get back to Mario Town from your home at its normal speed?"

"About 13 days."

"Okay, let's count it as 13 days. If Uncle Griffin wants to come to Mario Town, he must have set out 13 days ago to arrive today. If I remember correctly, letters are sent from the air by summoned beasts, which should be 3-4 times faster than a carriage. This means that the letter should have been delivered 10 days ago! Even if the courier was lazy, he couldn't be lazy for 10 days! What's more, the letter is marked as an expedited letter!"

After listening to Ling Feng's explanation, Rita also became nervous and grabbed Ling Feng's sleeve anxiously.

"Well, it's possible that Uncle Griffin forgot to send the letter, and he remembered it halfway and mailed it to me..."

Ling Feng immediately interrupted Rita's assumption.

"That's impossible! The letter and the person arrived almost at the same time. It's obviously going to arrive soon. Is it necessary to send another letter?"

Rita was suddenly stunned, because what Ling Feng said was not just common sense. According to Uncle Griffin's character, he would never do so many unnecessary things. Ling Feng added to his inference again.

"Not only that, there is something even stranger! What is it that must be said in the dead of night and in the suburbs? Even if it is a secret that I want to tell you, it cannot be told beforehand, as the letter says.

That is to say, I can tell you anytime after you get married. There is no need to choose such a late time today. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow will all be fine! As for the dowry, it is never too late to give it to us! There is no need to be so anxious!"

Ling Feng revealed the secret in one sentence, which made Rita tremble all over with fear, and a bad premonition also arose.

"Well, then, regarding this letter..."

"It's fake! This is most likely a conspiracy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the clock struck 10 o'clock in the evening. Suddenly, countless footsteps were heard from all directions, accompanied by the roar of monsters, and even the earth was shaking.

"Oh no! Rita, run!"
