This adventurer is overly righteous.

"Everything is fine, you can rest assured." Leijin interrupted Akitis in time, he had a premonition that if he didn't speak up, the other party would go on and on about how he first picked up Kroya.

Moreover, the other party's worries were unnecessary. Leijin knew what kind of person Kroya was, and the idea that he had been led astray by adventurers was absurd. Although such situations sometimes occurred, Kroya would never do that. Leijin had never met an adventurer more kind and upright than Kroya.

His willingness to give up this artificial dragon heart is enough to prove that he is not someone who can be blinded by money.

"His strength is quite good, among the top-tier adventurers. As for your claim of pursuing a luxurious lifestyle, I haven't found any signs of that in Kroya. He occasionally spends a sum of money on food, but not much, and he never wastes it..."

Leikin felt it necessary to defend Croya, as the two were comrades.

Moreover, what he said was true. Kroya would only eat a good meal when setting off on a mission and when returning from a mission, in order to restore his energy and eliminate mental fatigue. Compared with the various expenses of other adventurers, this was normal, even excessively so.

“If that’s the case, then I can accept it,” Acantis continued, his tone even more polite to Lekin than before. “Kroya left me a letter before he left, saying he would return in two years. Did he reveal any thoughts related to that?”

"He did tell me that he would go back in two years."

"Indeed, it seems he hasn't learned to lie. But may I ask where you, Mr. Leikin, are from?"

"Are you going to take Kroya away?" Leikin became alert and asked tentatively. He felt that the other party might directly capture Kroya and bring him back to continue being a good priest, but that would not be good for Leikin. Therefore, he continued tactfully, "Although I have no children and no experience or knowledge in raising children, I believe that as parents, we should respect the wishes of our children."

"What you say is true, I do indeed have that thought."

After a moment of silence, Arctius sighed.

In his opinion, it was a waste of Kroya's talent to become an adventurer; he could have achieved better success as a priest.

"But you're right, I should respect Croa's wishes. He'll come back anyway, it's just that the previous plan was to delay it by two years, and the development would be slower, wasting two years..."

"No, Lord Akitis, I think your thinking is somewhat biased." Leijin interrupted Akitis, which was a bit impolite, but he did have something to say to Akitis. The dwarves' temperament made them always straightforward and not very concerned with etiquette.

He just felt a little angry.

"I have witnessed Kroya's growth firsthand, and I have also watched the various choices he made after becoming an adventurer. I absolutely do not agree with what you just said. I do not believe that Kroya becoming an adventurer is a waste of time and a useless act."

Kroya's growth rate is extremely fast. Although Leijin has not witnessed the various changes in Kroya's attributes, in just two or three months, the other party has grown from a novice adventurer into an elite expert who can kill Steel Swamp Dragon alone. Doesn't this prove everything?

Moreover, was the friendship that Kroya built with Carter and himself within three months genuine? Was the good deed that Kroya chose to perform meaningless?

Leikin had witnessed firsthand how determined Kroya was to take the risk; he simply prayed to God and then made the decision to do it without any hesitation.

  

He helped many people, and he risked his life to get rid of goblins. Leikin knew how much suffering Kroya had endured in that cave, even though Kroya deliberately omitted it, Leikin could still imagine it.

"That was a very meaningful experience for him!"

The atmosphere in the room became somewhat tense for a moment. Akitis lowered his head in thought, seemingly not angry, while Lejin looked at Akitis without fear. He felt that he was right and therefore spoke with confidence.

"In that case, I'll head back now."

The two remained silent until Leijin finally couldn't help but speak.

"Hmm? Hmm, do you need us to prepare food for your journey?" Akitis looked up and said somewhat apologetically, "I'm not angry because of what you said, and I hope it won't affect our relationship."

"No need to worry, I respect you as well, Lord Akitis. I look forward to our next meeting." Regin extended his hand, and the two shook hands in farewell. The monks and nuns prepared everything Regin needed for his journey.

"Mr. Legin, could you please remind Chroya for me?" Before Legin left, Acantis couldn't help but say, "I hope he reviews the scriptures regularly, since these things are easy to forget..."

"OK!"

Lekin quickened his pace and escaped from the monastery, feeling that Kroya had run away from home much faster than he had.

Seeing that Leijin's figure had completely disappeared from sight, Akitis sighed again. Ever since Kroya ran away from home, he had picked up this bad habit, and he would probably have to wait for Kroya to return to cure it.

He returned to his room, where Kroya's letter lay on the table. He glanced at it, picked it up again, and began to slowly read it once more.

"There are words on the back..."

This was something he hadn't noticed at first, because the front of the letter wasn't full, and because Lei Jin had something to ask of him, he subconsciously ignored the back.

"I apologize for the three months I took to contact you, my father."

Akitis silently recited.

"Although this letter is written to ask for your help, there are also some things I want to tell you. I have experienced a lot in the three months since I became an adventurer, but due to space limitations, I cannot write them all down. Perhaps I will tell you in detail when I return."

"The life of an adventurer is indeed full of dangers, but I still have the strength to protect myself. Father, you don't need to worry about my safety, nor do you need to sigh because of me."

"The life of an adventurer is also full of happiness. It gives me the opportunity to reach out to and help those in distress. Father, you often said that a priest should maintain a kind heart. I have long kept that in mind, but now I have a deeper understanding of it..."

"I want to continue walking on this land, reaching out to save the poor. Although these three months have not been as peaceful and tranquil as life in the monastery, my heart is more at peace and happy than ever before."

"Because I am content, Father."

"I don't know if I will write to you again for help in the future. Perhaps this is the only letter I have written to you, Father, in the past two years. I hope I can make my thoughts clear. I will return two years later as promised."

"The letter I hastily left behind when I left was incomplete, and in this final act, I would like to complete it—"

I did not leave because I disliked you, Father, or the monastery and everyone else. Please do not blame yourself too much, as it will make me sad. I love you, always have…”

Akitis carefully put the letter away, a helpless yet somewhat relieved smile on his face.

"In that case, I shouldn't bother him anymore."

He abandoned the idea of ​​finding an opportunity to bring Croya back. Croya would gain a lot in the next two years, and Arctis agreed with Lejin's words. This would be a valuable experience for Croya.
