Chapter 360 The Villain Lady Arrives 189

"Humph, Tariq, do you think your warning can make me back down?" Ryan swore secretly in his heart, "I, Ryan, will never give up my pursuit because of other people's suspicion. I will use my actions to prove my loyalty and courage."

As night fell, the courtyard of the castle was silent, with only the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves echoing in his ears. Ryan stood alone in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He recalled his journey from an ordinary believer to his current rise in the Church of Light, and every step was full of hardships and challenges.

"I, Ryan, have never been a chess piece that can be manipulated by others." He whispered to himself, his tone full of determination and confidence, "I will use my own hands to write my own legend."

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility of the courtyard. Ryan quickly gathered his thoughts and turned around to see a believer running over in a hurry, looking anxious.

"Lord Ryan, it's bad! A group of unidentified attackers suddenly appeared outside the church and they are trying to break in!" The believer said anxiously, panting.

Ryan's eyes instantly became fierce when he heard this. He quickly drew out the long sword beside him, and the tip of the sword flashed coldly in the sun. "Come on, take me to see!" he ordered in a deep voice.

Outside the church, a group of attackers dressed in black were trying to break through the church's defenses. They were armed with sharp weapons and were agile, clearly well-trained. Ryan led a group of believers to the scene quickly, wielding a long sword like a tiger descending from a mountain, and instantly beheaded several attackers.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Ryan, with his extraordinary courage and wisdom, finally led the believers to repel the attackers. He stood on the ruins of the church, looking at the dark shadows gradually dissipating in the distance, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart.

"Who are these attackers? Why did they suddenly attack the Church of Light?" Ryan was filled with doubts and uneasiness. "It seems that the Church of Light is facing unprecedented challenges."

After the battle, Ryan immediately reported the situation to Alice. Upon hearing this, Alice frowned, with determination and anger flashing in her eyes. "How dare these dark forces be so arrogant!" She whispered to herself, "We must take action to protect the love and peace on this land."

Ryan looked at Alice's determined eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that he had finally found a goal and belief worth fighting for. He bowed his head respectfully, and said in a firm and powerful voice: "Lord Alice, I am willing to serve you and contribute all my strength to the Church of Light."

Alice nodded slightly after hearing this, with a hint of appreciation and relief in her eyes. "Ryan, you did a great job. I believe in you, and I believe that the Church of Light can survive this crisis." She said softly, "But we must always remain vigilant and not give the dark forces any chance to take advantage of us."

Ryan nodded to show that he understood. He was fully aware of the responsibility and mission he shouldered. He secretly vowed to use his own hands to protect the peace and tranquility of this land.

In the following days, Ryan worked harder to train himself and improve his strength and wisdom. Not only did he repeatedly achieve great feats in battle, but he also showed his deep concern for the church and his selfless dedication to believers in his daily life. Every effort he made was like a gentle spring breeze, quietly changing the views of those around him.

Tariq also gradually let go of his suspicion and vigilance in the face of Ryan's sincerity and dedication. He began to re-examine Ryan and found that there were many things he could learn from this young man. He gradually understood that true warriors are not those who only use force to solve problems, but those who can use their wisdom and courage to fight for faith and justice.

Finally one day, Tariq took the initiative to find Ryan, and the two sat side by side on the roof of the castle, looking at the sunset in the distance. Tariq was the first to break the silence: "Ryan, I misunderstood you before, I apologize to you." His voice was low and sincere, as if he was telling a long-forgotten past.

Ryan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "Lord Tariq, you don't have to be like this. I know you are thinking about the future of Lady Alice and the church, and your concerns are sincere." His words were full of understanding and tolerance, as if telling Tariq that the suspicions and misunderstandings of the past had disappeared.

Tariq sighed and continued, "Lion, I have witnessed your growth and dedication. You are not only a brave soldier, but also a trustworthy friend. I apologize to you for my previous suspicions, and thank you for letting me get to know you again." His eyes were full of admiration and trust, as if telling Ryan that he had found a true comrade and partner.

Bright Oath

Tariq's words were like warm sunshine, dispelling the last trace of haze in Ryan's heart. However, when Tariq stood up to say goodbye and turned to slowly walk towards the stairs of the castle, Ryan's eyes became complicated. He stared at Tariq's back, and a barely perceptible mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. That smile was not directed at Tariq's personal grudges, but a faint irony of the inherent suspicion and prejudice in human nature.

"Lord Tariq, your trust is a great honor for me." Ryan's voice floated gently in the breeze with a hint of imperceptible coolness, "I hope this trust can be as eternal as the sunset." When Tariq was about to disappear at the end of his sight, his eyes suddenly became sharp and deep, as if they could penetrate all hypocrisy and disguise and reach the deepest truth in people's hearts.

Tariq did not look back, but his steps paused slightly, as if he sensed Ryan's complex and subtle emotions. However, he did not stop, but continued to move forward silently until he completely disappeared in the shadow of the castle.

Ryan looked in the direction where Tariq left, his mocking smile gradually faded, replaced by a deep thought. He knew that although Tariq had put aside his suspicion, the complicated situation within the Church of Light was far from over. To gain a foothold in this land full of undercurrents and struggles, one needs not only courage and wisdom, but also a tenacious heart.

"I, Ryan, will never let anyone stop me from moving forward." He whispered to himself, his voice firm and powerful, as if he was making a silent oath to himself.

Afterwards, Ryan turned and left the castle, his steps firm and calm. He already had a new goal in mind - to find Saint Alice, bring his carefully prepared gifts, and win her favor and trust. This was not only to consolidate his position in the Church of Light, but also for his persistent pursuit of faith and justice.

As night fell, the forest outside the castle was filled with light mist, and the moonlight cast mottled shadows through the treetops. Ryan shuttled through the woods like an agile cheetah, and his figure looked particularly agile in the moonlight. His heart was full of anticipation and nervousness, because he knew that this meeting with Alice would be an important turning point in his life.
