Chapter 1550: Chapter 175 Northern Sword Saint_2
Ah Dai said, "Meditate well tonight, fully absorb its medicinal power, and you’ll feel the effects tomorrow."
The Pope said with a wry smile, "Ah Dai, you gifted Yue Yue such a precious engagement present, I really don’t know what to give you. The artifacts of the Church are few, and none seem suitable for you."
Ah Dai quickly said, "No need, no need, for me, Yue Yue is the best gift. You allowing her to marry me is better than anything else, no matter how valuable a divine artifact, how could it compare to Yue Yue?"
Xuan Yue’s eyes reddened, softly calling, "Ah Dai." Overwhelmed with deep emotion, she no longer cared about her shyness and willingly leaned close to Ah Dai, holding his large hand.
The Pope, satisfied, said, "Fine, it’s you who don’t want it, not me being stingy." His expression suddenly turned serious, and he said to Ah Dai, "Though we did not hold any grand engagement ceremony today, I’ve pledged my only granddaughter to you. If you wrong her in the future, I will never forgive you."
Ah Dai took Xuan Yue’s small hand, solemnly saying, "After clearing the Dark Forces, I will definitely make Yue Yue the happiest bride."
The Pope said, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, you should rest well tonight. You’re setting out for the Death Mountain Range tomorrow, so be doubly careful."
After paying their respects to the Pope, everyone took their leave, feeling much lighter as they left the Temple of Light, now that Ah Dai and Xuan Yue had united. Watching them leave, Xuan Ye said to the Pope, "Father, isn’t it too great a burden to give such a heavy task to these young ones? If they suffer any harm, how can we explain it to their elders?"
The Pope sighed and said, "What choice do I have? It’s indeed dangerous, but there’s no other way now. Ah Dai is the continent’s Savior, and we can only hope that under the guidance of the Sky God, he can find the true lair of the Dark Forces. In the meantime, you must intensify priest training, striving to enhance their strength quickly. If the entrance to the Demon Realm in the Death Mountain Range is truly the target of the Dark Forces, then Light Magic will play a crucial role."
Xuan Ye, Mang Siu, and Yu Jian said together, "Yes, Your Holiness."
Leaving the Temple of Light, Xuan Yue took Ah Dai’s large hand, and amidst everyone’s blessings, the two felt a sweet happiness. After the initial excitement, Yan Shi said, "This mission must succeed—we can’t allow the Dark Forces to continue their rampage."
Xuan Yue nodded, saying, "I only found out today how terrifying the Death Mountain Range truly is. We really overestimated ourselves back then! If we had gone there the first time with the Elf Clan, we might have already been..."
Yan Shi said, "Yue Yue, don’t be discouraged, we must have confidence. Only with confidence can we hope to achieve final victory."
Kino said with a strained expression, "Brothers and sisters, you have to help your younger brother! Yesterday, Yue Ji was crying and insisted on going to the Death Mountain Range with me. After hearing the Pope’s explanation today, how could I dare take her! If anything happens to her, how could I explain it to her brother, please help me stop her."
Ah Dai chuckled wryly, "Sister Yue Ji’s temperament isn’t easy to stop, Kino, you better hope for luck."
Xuan Yue smiled, "Brother Kino, just take Sister Yue Ji, I’ll help you protect her."
Ah Dai frowned, "Yue Yue, don’t speak rashly. You heard how dangerous the Death Mountain Range is just now; we already have quite a few people in this trip. If anything goes wrong or the enemy is too powerful, it will be difficult to manage. Fewer people would be better."
Xuan Yue tightened her grip on Ah Dai’s hand, saying, "Don’t worry, I have complete measures. Even if we can’t find out the whereabouts of the Dark Forces Headquarters, we can still protect ourselves. As for how to do it, you’ll know in time. For now, it’s a secret. Brother Kino, just take Sister Yue Ji, I’ll ask Grandfather for an amulet."
Kino said with a pained expression, "This is the only way. I thank you all in advance, Yue Ji’s skills are still too shallow, if there’s any danger, everyone must help."
Ah Dai gave Xuan Yue a reproachful look. For the group, Yue Ji’s abilities were indeed lacking, and the Death Mountain Range was so dangerous. He really didn’t want Yue Ji to join this mission, but Xuan Yue had already made the promise, and he couldn’t refuse any further. So he said to Kino, "No need to say, everyone will protect Yue Ji. Let’s rest well. We set off early tomorrow."
The next morning, Ah Dai and his team, along with the Elf Clan, set off for the Death Mountain Range. The Pope and several Red Robe Priests personally saw them off to the outskirts of the Divine Mountain, repeatedly reminding them to be safe before bidding farewell. Though the Death Mountain Range was perilous, Ah Dai and Xuan Yue felt confident after reconciling. Especially after the engagement, he felt incredibly fulfilled and now wanted nothing more than to help the Church defeat the Church of the Dark Saint, so he could marry his beloved Yue Yue.
