GDK 590: When I’m free, I will destroy the Church of Light!

Fabian was somewhat puzzled at first. But after a while, he was jolted by a sudden recollection. He seemed to be pleasantly surprised.

“Where is Emily?” Phoebe inquired with an urgent, quivering voice as she fixed her eyes on Chester. Anyone could tell that she was emotionally stirred up.

“Her Lordship has just returned from duty and is likely to be briefing certain matters at the headquarters at this moment,” Chester answered respectfully.

“Erm Hagrid, the matter is concluded as such. Please leave. I have some matters to attend to and will be making a move,” Phoebe said rapidly to Hagrid, nodding, and then no longer batting an eye at Hagrid or his men. She scurried towards the exit as though not willing to stay there for a moment longer. Then, as soon as she walked out the door, she yelled, “Get me a horse!”

Phoebe became hurried and anxious to leave immediately after receiving the letter from Emily, leaving behind the group of people to look at each other in dismay.

Hagrid looked crushed. The shock and bewilderment could be seen in his eyes as he stared blankly at Phoebe’s figure running further and further away.

“Goodbye,” Chester, having delivered the letter, said to Fabian. He bowed at Hagrid and silently left.

Fabian remained deeply immersed in an unrestrainable feeling of delight long after Phoebe and Chester had left. The smile on his face could not be any brighter. It was obvious from his eyes that he was very emotional.

“Mister Fabian, what is actually going on?” Hagrid had obviously discovered the big smile on Fabian’s face. He was incredibly puzzled and couldn’t help but ask. After taking a deep breath to calm down his emotional mind, Fabian looked at Hagrid somewhat pitifully and smilingly said, “If I guessed it right, the person that our miss has been waiting for all these years has returned!”

“Impossible, didn’t he die long ago?” Hagrid’s face suddenly transformed. Soon after, somewhat disappointed, he said, “Information given by the Pope of the Church of Light cannot be wrong!”

Fabian smiled and said rather proudly, “Lord Bryan has a blessed life. It must be that the despicable scheme of the Church of Light against him had failed.”

His face became as ashen as the dead. At this point, Hagrid knew that his stubborn pursuit of Phoebe hadnot one iota of hope. Phoebe had rejected him so resolutely when Han Shuo was still missing. And now that Han Shuo had returned, how would there be a chance for him to succeed?

Everyone was shocked to learn the news of Han Shuo’s sudden reappearance. As Han Shuo walked down the path, all the members of Dark Mantle who know of his identity expressed their amazement and respect through their eyes. They passed on this astonishing information with each other through word-of-mouth.

“The legendary character of Dark Mantle has returned!”

“The pride of our empire has returned!”

“The mighty guardian has returned!”

All those members of the Dark Mantle who had received the information were instantly filled with hope and expectation in their hearts. They were sincerely proud of Han Shuo.

Five years ago, Han Shuo was the most eye-catching expert of Lancelot Empire. He defeated two sacred-grade experts at once, assisted His Majesty the King to his throne, brought order to Brettel City, and neutralized Stratholme the old monster from the seven grand duchies…

Those widely spread but gradually forgotten folklores started making the rounds again due to Han Shuo’s reappearance. All those people who knew of Han Shuo’s return felt that his reappearance would bring new changes to the empire which had been going downhill for the last few years.

Walking through the gazes of adoration and amazement, Han Shuo went to Candide, one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle.

Candide’s sinister face was filled with disbelief and astonishment. Candide, who had become a dark sacred magus after five years, gaped at Han Shuo for a long, long while before he finally said in a deep voice, “I thought you were dead!”

Han Shuo chuckled before bluntly pulling a chair and sitting down. He looked giggly at Candide who was trying to hold back the excitement in his heart and said confidently, “It’s not so easy to kill me!”

Candide nodded in agreement. This Candide who always gave off a sinister, cunning air revealed a hard to come by gratified smile on his face as he said, “It’s good that you’ve returned. That’s all that matters.”
