Chapter 1018 - 467: Reward Distribution_3
At the time, she had thought that the other party was infected again during the process of helping, and she was ready to start treatment for him, but she was firmly refused by the emaciated young man who was already finding it difficult to walk. Upon Yu Chen’s persistent inquiries, Gahares told the truth. In short, he hoped to use the misunderstanding of him being considered a close confidant of the Saintess to set an example and give everyone peace of mind through his own actions. That would also benefit the stability of the rear areas. The bad rumors were one thing, but if a real riot broke out in the rear areas, the countless civilians would undoubtedly cause turmoil and even lead to irreversible consequences.
It wasn’t until that moment that Yu Chen realized what ’causing trouble’ Motan had mentioned to her before meant. She had difficulty agreeing with Gahares’s opinion and couldn’t shake his determination to ’refuse treatment until everyone is healed,’ which greatly moved her.
Just before she was about to leave, Gahares, who was informed that Her Highness the Saintess was soon to depart for the final battlefield, mustered the courage to make a request. That was, if he managed to survive until the end, he wanted to accompany Yu Chen back to the City of Light and serve as an attendant to help spread the grace of the Goddess.
Yu Chen naturally had no reason to refuse. The great cathedral where she had previously dwelt was already staffed by many devout believers volunteering their help, and with Gahares’s character, settling down there would be a breeze. Thus, without a second thought, she agreed.
Regrettably, plans cannot keep up with changes. Although Yu Chen survived despite having violated Motan’s arrangements, she fell into a coma due to an excess accumulation of negative energy in her body and did not return to the City of Light with the Holy Knight Order as originally planned. Instead, at the insistent and uncompromising demand of Xia Lian, she boarded a Skalan Duchy favorable wind ship, heading north as quickly as possible.
The only companions were Paula, the bare minimum crew, a few Holy Knights, Xia Lian, Motan, Cordova, the Bear Goblin Basaka who was a believer, and Luna. They boarded directly at the Twin Cities’ riverbank and hastened northward without stopping, with no time to divert back to Disk Tree City to pick up Gahares.
But Yu Chen hadn’t forgotten him. This kindhearted girl may not have realized what she represented to that rustic young man, yet she had never forgotten her promise. Upon hearing that the ship needed to make an unscheduled stop, she immediately asked Motan to find a Holy Knight to help send a message to Gahares, since their mission had been completed, Misha County was now completely safe, and there was no danger on the road.
But the reality... was not so...
[If that Knight truly met no danger on his journey and successfully reached Disk Tree City...
If Qiu hadn’t decided to help Hei Fan with his efforts to bring about a perfect conclusion...
If Gahares had browsed the player space or had the habit of participating in gaming forums...
Then, the Church of the Dawn might have gained a devout believer, and the Great United Army might have gained a kindhearted powerhouse...
And then...[Data Deleted][Data Deleted][Data Deleted][Data Deleted][Data Deleted][Data Deleted][Data Deleted][Data Deleted][Data Deleted][Data Deleted].
