Genshin's Wish

Chapter 233

"I thought today's expedition would be a dull day," Bennett said to Mika while adjusting his always crooked expedition hat. They stood at the edge of a dense jungle, and the sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on their faces.

Mika shrugged and responded with a relaxed look: "Whenever I'm with you, the word dull never appears in my dictionary, Bennett."

Bennett smiled, knowing that Mika was telling the truth. Since they decided to embark on a journey together to find the legendary Fountain of Wisdom, every day has been full of surprises and challenges. Today, they will enter a place called the "Ghost Forest", where it is said that people who get lost often enter and never come out again.

"Let's go, but remember, we have to be careful this time." Bennett reminded Mika, and took out a carefully drawn map and an ancient compass from his backpack.

As soon as they stepped into the forest, they felt an unusual atmosphere. The air was filled with a mysterious and attractive floral scent, which made people relax their vigilance involuntarily. But Bennett and Mika were both experienced explorers, and they knew that the beauty of the forest often hides dangers.

Soon, they encountered the first puzzle: a forked path, each with a stone tablet engraved with a seemingly simple but puzzling riddle.

"If you choose the left path, you will face endless darkness; if you choose the right path, you will usher in light. But only one path can lead you to the truth." Bennett read the words on the stone tablet.

Mika frowned. “That sounds like a philosophical question rather than a practical choice.”

Bennett smiled confidently: "As for me, I have a hunch. Let's go to the left."

They chose the left road, and soon found a tunnel leading underground. The tunnel was dark and damp, but for Bennett and Mika, this was the fun of the adventure.

They lit torches and went deeper into the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, they found a huge cave with a stone platform in the middle of the cave, on which lay an ancient book.

Bennett carefully opened the book, which recorded the true location of the fountain of wisdom and the trials that must be experienced to get there. They were ecstatic, but they also knew that this was just the beginning of the journey.

In the following days, Bennett and Mika experienced countless tests, including solving complex mazes, fighting strange creatures, and even traveling through cracks in time and space. Each challenge deepened their friendship and brought them closer to the fountain of wisdom.

Finally, when they stood in front of the Fountain of Wisdom, Bennett and Mika both understood that through this adventure, they gained not only the water from the Fountain of Wisdom, but more importantly, their understanding of life and their courageous exploration of the unknown.

Bennett looked at his and Mika's reflections in the spring water and said with a smile, "As for me, I'm really glad that I can experience all this with you."

Mika gave him a warm smile in return, "Me too, Bennett. This is our greatest treasure."

They smiled at each other, and then drank the water from the fountain of wisdom together. The water tasted sweet, flowing through their throats and into their hearts, bringing them endless wisdom and courage.

Since then, the story of Bennett and Mika has spread among people and become a legend. For them, this is just a new beginning, because there are still too many unknown secrets in the world waiting for them to discover.
