Chapter 792 - 371: The Holy War Returns
Outside the door, the scene indeed startled Leon. He hadn’t expected that relieving people’s sickness would garner such reputation, and amid the language barrier, he couldn’t help scratching his head, unsure how to ask the crowd to stand up.
He was still a living person, not yet dead, and couldn’t endure such fervent adoration.
Fortunately, he wasn’t stuck at the door for too long. The gathered crowd seemed to catch the attention of the surveillance, and the commander of the sanctuary soon arrived with people to disperse the crowd.
It was only after returning to the command center and meeting the survivors’ leader, Rousseau, that Leon understood why the people were so stirred.
"I apologize for the disturbance we’ve caused you, Lord Leon." In the conference room, Rousseau passed the materials given by the other party to his subordinates for immediate collection and explained, "Faith is now an important pillar for most survivors to continue living, and it’s the same for me. If not for rekindling hope in the ancient god Suviel, many would have already perished in despair."
The old man stared intently at the exotic knight before him and sighed, "Over the past three years, I’ve been able to hear a certain voice, guiding me to lead the survivors past one calamity after another. I believe it’s a revelation from Suviel." With reluctance, he asked again, "Are you really not the envoy of the God of Dawn?"
Leon spread his hands and confessed frankly, "I’ve said, I am just like you, an ordinary being. My power comes from the realm where I exist. It’s not about having any divine power. Just like the physical technologies you utilize, my spells are merely a use of natural forces."
Rousseau took off his glasses, revealing a relieved, bitter smile.
"Then I am thankful you don’t understand our language, otherwise honestly telling the people might take away the last hope in our hearts."
Leon remained silent; the local human population, despite having a civilization level that far surpassed the Felu Civilization, still couldn’t withstand the cataclysmic events that humanity couldn’t defend against.
