Chapter 159

"How was it? How did I perform just now?"

Karl smiled: "Very vivid. Even I almost believed it was real."

"Hee hee, really? Well, it's all thanks to your teaching. But will they really believe it?" Hancock still had doubts about this.

"Don't worry, they have to believe it whether they want to or not. We've done all we can."

"By the way, take this later."

Karl took a giant golden bell out of his system space. He had found it in a certain cloud before coming here, and it had taken the raven a long time to find it near Upper Yard.

"Is this the Golden Bell they were talking about?"

Karl nodded: "That's right. As long as this great bell is rung, the promise between Noland and them will be considered fulfilled."

"Uh, the time is about right. Let's go over!"

After saying that, Karl grabbed a corner of the Golden Bell and took a deep breath, lifting it up.

"Darling, do you need my help?" "No need, I have natural-born divine strength!"

Karl carried the bell toward Cloud End Village, leaving a footprint with every step. This was only because Karl was deliberately holding back his strength; otherwise, given the weight of the Golden Bell, it wouldn't just be one footprint per step, as this thing weighed several tons.

Cloud End Village.

The Chief sat on the ground helplessly, his eyes listless. He had already tried just now; Wyper and the others had truly turned to stone. Perhaps only that woman could turn them back to normal.

Dong~ Dong~ Dong...

A heavy sound of footsteps came to his ears, and the ground was trembling slightly. The Chief looked forward in surprise. What came into view was an ancient, great bell covered in moss, and the inscriptions engraved on it were so familiar.

"The, the Golden Bell!!! Where did you find it?"

Karl sighed and said: "Sorry, Chief. Although she is my friend, she has a rather strong personality. You should be able to feel that."

"I exhausted my tongue, but I couldn't get her to give up the idea of driving the Shandians away. However, for my sake, she is willing to hand the Golden Bell over to you to help you fulfill the promise from 400 years ago."

"If you still don't agree, she will destroy the Golden Bell directly and leave the villagers in a petrified state forever."

Having said this, Karl turned his head with a difficult expression to look at Hancock not far away, then looked at the Chief, and let out a long sigh.

"Chief, I'll go talk to her again..."

The Chief quickly said: "No, thank you so much, Mr. Karl. The Golden Bell has been missing for hundreds of years. To have it returned, I am already endlessly grateful. You have already done your best."

"I agree to the Empress's terms." Karl raised an eyebrow.

"However, it will take some time for our clansmen to relocate, and we don't know the way down."

"Don't worry about that. I will arrange it when the time comes, and I will definitely send you back to your homeland on Jaya Island safely."

The Chief finally smiled and grabbed Karl's hand: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome, it's what I should do."

Ten minutes later, the petrification was lifted, and the fainted Shandians also gradually regained consciousness under the illumination of the holy light.

Just as they were confused and didn't know what had happened, those with sharp eyes had already seen the Golden Bell in the center of the road.

"Look! Is, is that... the Golden Bell?"

"That's right, it must be it! I wouldn't forget what it looks Move Move Like even if I died!"

Wyper looked at Hancock with trepidation, walked silently to the Chief's side, and asked in a low voice about the situation: "What happened just now?"

The Chief pointed at the Golden Bell and smiled slightly: "This is all thanks to Mr. Karl. If it weren't for him, we would not only have lost Upper Yard, but we would never have seen the Golden Bell again in our lives."

"As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it."

Wyper seemed to hear the subtext in the Chief's words and quickly asked: "Chief, are we... are we unable to return to Upper Yard?"

"Sigh~ This is the best condition Karl could fight for us. As long as we can fulfill the promise, it's the same wherever we are."

"But..."

The Chief waved his hand: "No more 'buts'. Now you have a more important mission."

Wyper was stunned and stared blankly at the Chief. The Chief shook his head, turned, and walked into his room, coming out a moment later holding the striker high in both hands.

"Ring it! Child, fulfill the promise between our ancestors and Noland 400 years ago!"

"Chief... I."

Wyper's eyes misted over, and hot tears flowed out: "Yes! Chief!"

The surrounding Shandians also saw this scene and turned their eyes toward Wyper.

Wyper took a deep breath, solemnly took the striker from the Chief's hands, and stared straight at the Golden Bell not far away.

"Ring it! Wyper!!!" "Ring it! Wyper!!!" "Ring it! Wyper!!!"

The voices of the people around him echoed in Wyper's mind, and in a trance, he seemed to hear the whispers of his ancestors.

The next second, Wyper's gaze became incomparably firm. He hugged the striker tightly with both hands and roared as he charged toward the Golden Bell.

The distance between Wyper and the Golden Bell grew closer and closer, and finally! The striker hit the Golden Bell.

"Clang~"

This sound was deep, powerful, loud, and long-lasting, resounding through Cloud End Village, through Upper Yard, and through the entire Sky Island.

Its sound was ancient and long, traversing 400 years of time, responding to the promise of the past, and bidding farewell to the Noland of the past.

This sound, because of its majestic and beautiful ringing, is just Move Move Like a lamp in the dark night, capable of guiding the way and lighting up hope for fleets sailing in a storm.

The light of Shandora has been lit...

The Shandians present burst into tears, but there were smiles on their faces. After generations of effort, they finally did it.

They fulfilled the promise for their ancestors and fulfilled their ancestors' last wish.

This day, the ancestors didn't wait for it, the predecessors didn't wait for it, but in their generation, they waited for it.

Angel Island.

Gan Fall, who was giving a speech, couldn't help but close his eyes upon hearing the bell. It wasn't just him; the Sky Island residents in the audience also closed their eyes.

They listened quietly to the long ringing of the bell. For them, this was a sound engraved in their DNA, because for them...

This is the voice of God, this is the call of God.

Waters near Jaya Island.

Mont Blanc Cricket, who was preparing to dive into the sea to look for artifacts, seemed to hear some kind of bell in a trance, but he just smiled. The pressure lately had been too great; he was even hallucinating.

But as the sound waves approached, Cricket froze. This sound was so beautiful, so real.

"Boss, did you hear that? The sound coming from above!" Masira and Shoujou shouted excitedly.

Cricket smiled with relief: "Yeah! I heard it..."

When you come to Jaya again, how will you imagine us who have disappeared?

Wait a little longer, and I will tell you, we lit the light of Shandora here.
