Ayan thought for a while and recognized the church book he was holding up. It was the book that Garp lent him to read during the storm that day in the church.

The priest whose book was robbed may have known Zizi, or he may have been frightened by Zizi.

At this moment, the priest made no resistance and just stood there blankly.

Zizi raised the church book in his hand and shouted towards Funk.

"I know that you have been studying the legendary Fountain of Eternity. Even if I don't have that sword, I will find it. Now only by finding the Fountain of Eternity and retrieving the Eternal Tears that can heal everything can I save Lao Ke life!"

Funk was furious and cursed: "You're talking nonsense! We've been searching for more than ten years and still haven't found it, and your father has also been searching for you for so many years and still hasn't found it. Why do you think you can find it alone?!"

"Just because I can find my father's sword, I will also be able to find the Fountain of Eternity. I will be responsible for Lao Ke's injury. When I get back the eternal tears that can heal everything, I will personally apologize to Lao Ke!"

Zizi responded loudly, his momentum still not falling behind at all.

Then, Zi Zi quickly turned around holding the church book and ran out.

Ayan saw Zizi running out of the church, and couldn't help but shout in a low voice: "Zizi..."

At the same time, Garp quickly shouted towards the door: "Zizi, the eternal spring may be in the coastal canyon to the west!"

Funk turned to look at Garp with sharp eyes and asked seriously.

"Karp, what are you doing?"

Garp sighed and explained: "Old Feng, Zizi is no longer a child. She is seventeen or eighteen years old. She can take responsibility for herself. It's not like you haven't seen it in the past two years. She has always been very smart and very good. If you're brave, maybe you can find it?"

Funk retorted: "But do you know how dangerous this journey is?"

"Old Feng, do you have a better way? Over the years, we have organized so many teams to search for the Fountain of Eternity and find the Tears of Eternity, but there has been no progress. Maybe we thought wrong or used the wrong method. What? Zizi has the spiritual power of the royal family, you have to have confidence in Zizi."

After Garp continued to comfort him, Funke was silent for a while and looked down at the wrapped blue light sword.

"Even if that's the case, I can't give her this sword. She doesn't have the strength to control it yet."

Garp nodded quickly and said, "Well, I agree with this. I know you have good intentions."

Feng Ke sighed, and then said to Ayan beside him.

"Ayan, it's getting late. Let me take you home. Bell will be there soon."

Ayan didn't know what to say and said in a panic: "Well...but Zizi...she said she wanted to go by herself...to save Uncle Ke..."

Feng Ke touched Ayan's little head and comforted him gently: "Ayan, you don't have to worry about these things. We will try our best to protect Zizi, and Uncle Ke will be fine too!"

"Well..." Ayan lowered his head and replied.

Afterwards, Funke took Ayan out of the church and rushed back to Funke's home.

Just now on the road, Ayan and Funke were silent.

Funk's expression was very complicated, full of sorrow, as if he was thinking about a problem.

Ayan kept frowning and biting his lip, looking worried.

At this time, it was almost noon. At the door of Funk's house, Aka has been playing with a group of children all morning.

Aka shouted with joy when he saw Ayan and Funke coming back.

"Chirp~chirp~"

Funk walked to Aka's side, bent down and put his face close to Aka's injured wing, and looked at the wound carefully.

"Ayan, I see Aka is recovering well!"

Ayan touched Aka's big wings and said happily.

"Well, Uncle Funke, I didn't expect Aka to be in such good spirits!"

Feng Ke smiled kindly and put his arm on Ayan's shoulder.

"Then let's go have a meal first. Bell should be here soon."

"Okay, Uncle Feng Ke!" Ayan nodded quickly.

Seeing Funke turning around and entering the house, Ayan wanted to drag Aka in with him.

At this time, Aka seemed unwilling to enter the house and kept standing there, flapping his wings and screaming.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Ayan couldn't resist, so he let go of Aka and complained.

"Aka, did you get up too late in the morning? You're not hungry yet and want to take a walk outside?"

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Aka still shouted loudly, and then ran to the square outside the house in a flash.

Ayan glanced at Aka, shook his head helplessly, and had no choice but to turn around and enter the house alone.

Inside the room, the servants had already placed the food on the table. Funk held an orange-red glass bottle in his hand, which Ayan looked like a bottle of wine.

After Ayan sat down at the dining table, Funke filled a glass in front of him with orange-red liquid.

Funk pointed at the glass with his finger and said with a smile: "Ayan, this is the local Shazhou colorful fruit wine. Try it and I will practice it today."

Ayan looked confused and said hesitantly: "Huh? Thank you Uncle Feng Ke, but I'm not very good at drinking."

At this time, Funk also filled his glass with fruit wine, then smiled and raised his glass to Ayan to invite him to drink.

"Ayan, it doesn't matter, this is fruit wine, you won't get drunk. Come, let's have a taste together."

Ayan saw that Funke insisted on giving him a taste, so he had no choice but to pick up the glass in front of him with both hands.

As soon as Ayan took a sip, he choked immediately.

"Cough cough cough..."

Funk laughed immediately when he saw Ayan being choked.

After Ayan breathed a sigh of relief slowly, he continued to take two sips from the glass.

"Hey, Uncle Feng Ke, this fruit wine is very strange! It tastes a bit pungent when you first drink it, but after a few more sips, it feels very sweet!"

Funk continued to laugh and shook the glass.

"I rarely drink this kind of wine. Young people prefer it. I usually like to drink this kind of wine."

"Oh, that's right, Zizi also likes to drink..."

Ayan took two more sips, stared at the glass in a daze, and then began to eat with his head down.

Feng Ke was very puzzled when he saw that Ayan had stopped talking.

"Ayan, what's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Ayan raised his head and glanced at Funke, and couldn't help but say.

"Uncle Feng Ke, I'm thinking about what Zi Zi said today. What are the eternal tears that can save Uncle Ke?"

Funk raised his head for a while, sighed, and said slowly.

"That's just a legend. I'm still not sure whether it really exists. It is said that there is an ancient miracle in the western part of the Elf Continent, near the current Cursed Land. People call that place called the Fountain of Eternity, and there is Eternal tears that can heal any injury.”

Ayan said to himself: "Eternal Tears?...Kalia's Tears? Are these two related?"

Funk nodded with admiration on his face.

"Ayan, you are very good at making connections. In the ancient language of the ancient spirit tribe, Kalia actually means eternity. The tears of Kalia may not only refer to the blue lake in the town, but also to other places. It’s eternal tears.”

Ayan said in surprise: "Oh, that's it! The place names here fit so well, so maybe the legend of Eternal Tears is true?"

Funk raised the glass and drank the fruit wine in one gulp.

"Well, I also think the legend is true. But for so many years, we haven't found it. In the past two years, we have almost given up. Only Zizi's father has been persistent in searching."

Ayan frowned, thought for a while, and then continued to ask.

"Uncle Feng Ke, you said Zizi's father is looking for the Eternal Tears. Then Zizi just said in the church that her father is missing. What's going on?"

At this time, when he heard Ayan asking about Zizi's father, Feng Ke's eyes suddenly became erratic, as if he was deep in thought.

After a while, Funk said slowly: "Yes, Zizi's father disappeared inexplicably in this desert area a year ago."

"Disappeared for no reason?"

"Yes, she suddenly disappeared while searching for the Eternal Tears alone. Zizi had a strange lung disease since she was a child. In order to treat Zizi, her father never gave up looking for the Eternal Tears."

Ayan nodded: "So that's it. No wonder Zizi coughs often."

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Suddenly, Aka's anxious screams came from outside the house.

Aka had been making noise outside just now, and now it seemed to be louder.

Feng Ke glanced at Ayan with concerned eyes.

"Ayan, what's wrong with Aka?"

Ayan looked out the window and shook his head.

"I don't know either, Aka was screaming just now. Maybe he has to leave and he can't bear to leave here!"

Funke stood up, greeted the servants, gave a few instructions, and smiled at Ayan.

"Ayan, have you finished eating? Let's go out and take a look!"

Ayan immediately put down the tableware, stood up and walked to Funk's side.

"Uncle Funke, I've finished eating, then let's go see Aka!"

Afterwards, the two walked out of the house and saw Aka screaming loudly on a high platform in the square.

"Aka!" Ayan called.

After hearing this, Aka rushed over in a hurry, and then dangled in front of Ayan.

"Aka, what are you doing?"

Ayan touched Aka's two long ears. Aka shrank his head and whispered softly, looking very cute.

"Chirp...chirp..."

At this time, a man wearing a black dome hat and a mustache walked towards this side with a smile.

"Old Feng! I'm here to pick up this child!"

Funk quickly walked over and shook hands with the man.

"Old Bei, I was saying you should be here soon."

This person is none other than Bell, who had previously made an appointment to take Ayan back today. He is now a senior officer in the Alliance Guards.

Ayan approached Bell and bowed, "Hello, Uncle Bell!"

Bell patted Ayan on the shoulder, and then looked at Aka next to him.

"Good boy, have you packed everything?"

"Yes, everything is ready." Ayan replied softly.

At this time, a servant came out of the house and handed a backpack and a small satchel in his hand to Funke.

Funke walked to Ayan and handed the two bags just now to Ayan.

"Ayan, inside the backpack are the things you bought before, and you also take this small satchel with you. There are some snacks, medicines and gadgets in it. These are specially prepared for you on your way back and are generally not available outside."

"Thank you, Uncle Funke!"

Afterwards, Funk and Bell went aside to chat for a while alone.

After Ayan took the two bags, he carried the small satchel directly to his chest.

He placed his backpack on the ground, then opened it and checked the contents.

It's noon now and it's extremely hot outside. Looking from the door of Funke's house to the square and the market not far away, they were all empty, with few people on the road.

It seems that no one is willing to go out in the scorching sun.

Soon after, Funk and Bell finished chatting, and the two walked to Ayan's side.

Feng Ke looked at Ayan reluctantly: "Old Bei, just take the child and leave."

Bell patted Funk on the shoulder: "Well, don't worry. Although the army has just fought a battle, there are still three Holy Emblem Knights who know intermediate warfare and a demon warlock who knows high-level spiritual arts. They are out on the road. There’s nothing wrong with it.”

Then, Bell held Ayan's back and signaled that it was time for Ayan to leave.

Ayan bent down and said respectfully: "Uncle Feng Ke, thank you very much, goodbye!"

Funk nodded with a smile and waved to Ayan.

"Ayan, goodbye! Be safe on the road!"
