Elf Kingdom: Game of the World Tree-Chapter 1261 - 814: Departure

Old John’s gaze was somewhat dazed.

"Then head south, our meeting was fate, I’ll give you a token. With it, go to Fengyue Free Territory in the south, report my name at the Amway Chamber of Commerce in Zelolan, and they will provide you with a place to stay."

Demacia said with a smile.

"Fengyue Free Territory..."

In Old John’s eyes, a glimmer briefly appeared, faintly brightening.

But soon, he fell back into disappointment:

"Lord Demacia, isn’t Fengyue Free Territory only for Life believers?"

"Would you be willing to become a Life believer?"

Demacia asked with another smile.

His eyes shimmered with a pale golden glow, the effect of the [Eyes of Faith].

In his eyes, the light on Old John’s body had just turned into the green of the faithless...

Old John’s heart was moved.

Looking at Demacia’s bright gaze, he sighed deeply:

"I understand." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

With that, he bowed deeply to the other:

"Thank you, merciful Elf Lord..."

After receiving the token and a gold pound as a reward from Demacia, Old John left the mine.

Watching his distant figure, Dongdong couldn’t help but ask:

"Dema, are you so sure he’ll go to Fengyue Free Territory? And... when did you get so generous with the tokens for the Amway Chamber of Commerce?"

"Who knows..."

Demacia shook his head.

Watching Old John’s distant figure, he said with a smile:

"It’s just... I’ve always felt that only those who’ve truly encountered hardships would cherish a beautiful life more..."

"Also, only they, in finding new light in the darkness, would erupt with unprecedented strength within their hearts."

Old John departed, and the players once again mounted the great dragon, departing together with Golden Dragon Romanos.

They did not meet with Frank again, as they already agreed with this young noble that once the pollution was purified, they would directly leave.

"Young master, they have left, the pollution in the mine has also disappeared, but... the vein is completely gone."

The Personal Guard Knight reported to the young noble.

Watching the distant great dragon and the gradually shrinking figures on its back, Frank’s gaze was complex as he slowly withdrew his sight.

"Let’s leave too."

Frank sighed.

"Young master..."

The Personal Guard Knight hesitated for a moment, unable to suppress his worry:

"Although the pollution has been purified, the vein is gone, Baron Paul will definitely blame you, and the Duke... will certainly give you a hard time."

"So what?"

Frank snorted.

Shaking his head, he said:

"Compared to a vein that provides funds for his military expansion, I care more about the safety of the territory’s people, the strength of the Rosen family is already strong enough... Constant warmongering and incessantly provoking wars will lead to self-destruction sooner or later."

"Moreover... the Rosen family hasn’t had a place for me for a long time..."

Finished speaking, Frank looked southward, his gaze gradually becoming sharp:

"Roland..."

"Young master, I’m here."

"Conflict is about to erupt, chaos is imminent, I plan to head south, form a mercenary group, participate in the war against the southern demons, and search for my own path, are you... willing to accompany me?"

"Of course, young master, you’ve saved my life once, I already swore long ago, no matter where you go, I will follow to the death."

The Personal Guard Knight knelt on one knee.

Frank looked at him with emotion, extending his hands to lift him up:

"Thank you..."

His voice was slightly trembling.

"Also, stop calling me young master, from now on... just call me Frank."

Frank said with a smile.

With that, he turned to look in the direction the Elves had departed, his gaze gradually becoming distant.

"We... shall meet again."

He murmured.

Afterward, Frank mounted his steed, leading his trusted aides, heading south...

The sun set in the west.

Coating the long procession in an afterglow.
