Chapter 35: Fountain of Enlightenment

Unconsciously, Ethan fell into a deep sleep.

He seemed to have a dream, a very long dream.

In the dream, he saw a red sky with lightning flashing, and two groups of stars in the sky were close and far away.

Suddenly, there was a storm, and suddenly the earth shook.

Finally, it disappeared in the sky.

"Ding Ding Dong Dong~"

The earth shook.

Suddenly, a female voice appeared.

"Pride... jealousy... rage... laziness... greed... gluttony... lust..."

"Hate! Hate! Hate!"

The voice gradually became ethereal and finally disappeared.

The wind stopped, the rain stopped, the red sky disappeared, and the stars were still shining.

At this time, the voice of the Muse sounded:

"Child, listen to the voice of your heart..."

At this point, Ethan opened his eyes.

He smacked his lips, recalling the scene in the dream and the words of the goddess: listen to the voice of your heart...

Although he didn't know what the sky and the stars represented, he was very familiar with the subsequent "ding-dong" sound.

It was the strange sound that had troubled him for a long time.

Listen to the voice of my heart?

Is it asking me to find that voice?

Beside him, Xiaobai also moved slightly. Like Ethan, he was thinking as soon as he woke up. It seems that he also gained something in his dream.

It seems that the fountain of enlightenment itself can solve the confusion in other people's hearts.

The third one to wake up was Senbei Ma Yun. She opened her shell with a look of surprise. Her long skirt turned into a leather skirt without knowing when, and in her hand there was a whip... a whip.

"Kneel down and lick, slave!!"

Ethan was stunned. This... this... is still the shy and quiet Senbei elf he used to be?

"Xiao Ma Yun... you..."

"Call me Queen!!!"

"Crack!"

The whip was whipped out of thin air, and it actually drew ripples in the air. It seems to be very powerful.

So far, only one of the Senbei Ethan has seen has a prop in his hand, that is Professor Taylor's Senbei Gudong, holding a book in his hand.

Ethan guessed that the Senbei elves could only get their own props after reaching a certain realm, and each prop should have a certain function.

But he didn't know what the whip of Senbei Ma Yun was used for. Could it be... S... M?

He must check the information carefully when he goes out.

One person, one horse, and one Senbei have all awakened, and they have all gained a lot.

Only Bryant was still motionless.

One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed...

Just when Ethan began to despair, Bryant moved.

It seemed to coil in a circle without consciousness.

The body began to flicker strangely.

Virtual and real, virtual and real.

Then the body began to expand and shrink.

Like a melted chewing gum.

Ethan was startled, but he didn't dare to disturb him.

Suddenly, Bryant's body began to fade.

"Shua~"

It disappeared, and a black snake-shaped shadow appeared on the ground.

The snake-shaped shadow got into Ethan's shadow and disappeared.

"Shua~"

Bryant suddenly appeared on Ethan's neck.

Shadow transformation!!!

Ethan suddenly remembered that the Black Pudding from the Night Banquet Guild had used this ability on the night he separated from the circus.

Thinking carefully, Bryant began to become stupid and dull since he came out of the Black Pudding's bag.

"Hiss~"

It turned out that after Bryant was caught by Black Pudding with that bag, he found many strange symbols on the inner wall of the bag. He got a little bit of information in his mind, but he couldn't find the way.

So during this period, he was always confused and pitying himself.

It was not until he drank the "Spring Water of Enlightenment" that he finally realized that those symbols were actually a kind of extraordinary ability - Shadow Flow.

The Shadow Flow can make the body become a shadow, and at the same time, it can shuttle seamlessly in the shadow.

Just like now, Bryant first turned into a shadow, then escaped into Ethan's shadow, and almost instantly appeared on Ethan's body again, and the whole process was seamless.

From then on, the shadow will become its new paradise.

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that everyone had gained something, he also determined to find the unknown voice.

"Xilulu~"

Xiaobai neighed to the sky again.

Sure enough, a louder voice responded to it.

"Xilulu~"

Just like last time, a Pegasus came galloping, and the Fairy of Light in front of the sculpture smiled and rode on the Pegasus.

The Pegasus looked at Xiaobai and knocked the ground with its hooves.

Sure enough, another pool of spring water rose from Xiaobai's feet.

Xiaobai was immersed in the spring water comfortably, leaving Ethan and Bryant waiting on the side.

After a long time, the Pegasus spring water finally began to dissipate.

Xiaobai returned to everyone, and Ethan cheered secretly.

What a divine horse from heaven!

Ethan had never seen a unicorn, but Xiaobai's image at this time was exactly the same as he imagined.

After being baptized by the spring water, Xiaobai's body became taller, and his hair was shiny, especially his proud mane, which made Ethan feel amazing.

The biggest change is that two long and narrow scars appeared on its ribs. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to see them.

Ethan couldn't help but look at the Pegasus in front of him. Yes, it's the same spot.

If Xiaobai soaks in the spring water a few more times, he will grow wings.

Just like the first ‘Fountain of Courage’, the huge sculpture in the center of the square began to collapse until a huge stone with words and maps carved on it was exposed.

In addition to a map, there was still an oracle prologue next to it:

“The sky of memory, the wind and clouds change.”

“The echoing notes compose the hymn of heroes.”

“When the prosperity is over, that piece of jade is undemanding.”

“When history is remembered, the classics will be passed down forever.”

Ethan silently wrote down the prologue and then turned his eyes to the map.

The map starts from this dark forest, stretching for thousands of miles, separated by a huge mountain range in the middle, and placed at both ends.

Seeing this, Ethan couldn't help but frowned

If he guessed correctly, this mountain is the Lombard Mountains that span the Federation.

It is more than a thousand miles away from where he is now.

Not to mention that Ethan still has two months, even if it takes a year, he may not be able to reach it.

Besides, the legendary Lombard Mountains are full of dangers, and it is not a place he can set foot in at present.

At present, there is a special guide team in the Lombard Mountains, which can protect tourists or merchants from passing through the outer periphery of the Lombard Mountains, but the price is very expensive. With Ethan's financial conditions, it is quite tight.

Ethan looked back at the ruins of the "Spring of Enlightenment" again, feeling melancholy.

This trip was worth their long journey through the mountains and ridges, and everyone gained something.

Bryant solved the problem that had been bothering him, and suddenly realized the extraordinary ability - Shadow Stream.

Xianbei Mayun discovered the rebellious character that had been hidden, and evolved, opening the exclusive prop - Whip.

Although Xiaobai didn't know what he had realized, another baptism of Pegasus Spring water allowed its bloodline evolution to reach a higher level.

As for himself, in addition to the obscure stars and lightning that appeared at the beginning, the biggest gain was that he finally dared to look directly at the voice that had been entangled with him.

And Ethan vaguely felt that the voice might be related to his baptism, and perhaps everything would be revealed on that day.
