The Pathway Of Wisdom-Chapter 58: The Hidden Organization, Revenant. Part-4.

Ron was a soldier; he had been to many battlefields in his lifetime, and aside from having a strong body, he also had a massive amount of experience.

He knew that when transporting injured comrades, it was very careless to ignore their physical condition.

Ron immediately knew that Paul’s body was weakening and he was losing his consciousness.

And if he loses consciousness, perhaps his body will make him go into a coma, and his mind might not wake up again due to the trauma he has suffered.

To prevent Paul from suffering that fate, he was continuously chattering with Paul like a chatterbox.

Even if it was just random nonsense and small talk, Ron was doing his best to keep Paul sane and conscious.

Making Paul remember his loved ones was also a method to give him a reason to keep living and pushing forward.

As they say, a warrior doesn’t lose until he himself accepts the loss in his mind and body.

After helping Paul recover his dislocated shoulder, Ron helped him put on the mask and took him deeper into the sewer system.

The two of them chattered and talked about random stuff all the way; Ron even asked Paul about his hardships and how he made it there.

"BAHAHAHAHAH!!!! YOU ACTUALLY CLUNG TO A CARRIAGE TO MAKE IT HERE!!!!"

"BAHAHAHAHAH!!!! You are really something, man!!! I haven’t met anyone as daring as you before!!!"

"That was quite a brave action! Even I would not dare to do that!... No! In fact, I hadn’t even thought that such a thing was possible before you told me about it!!!"

Paul felt quite embarrassed after hearing Ron laugh loudly at his hilarious story, and unconsciously a faint smile appeared on his face for the first time in months!

After Paul told his entire story to Ron, he felt as if the burden on his shoulders had lessened after sharing that pain and stress with someone.

It brought him immense comfort, and the piled-up stress and tension were slowly reduced.

"By the way... I wanted to ask it but didn’t get the chance... do you know what that kind young man is?"

"He’s more handsome than even those nobles I once saw from far away... and just by being around him... I felt as if all my pain was disappearing..."

Hearing Paul’s words, Ron smirked and replied in a proud voice,

"I also don’t know the real identity of that person but he’s a great benefactor of us all..."

"It was him who guided me on the right path... two weeks ago, I was just an aimless fly wandering around with no destination in mind..."

"But he brought me a reason to live... I can’t thank him enough for showing me the right direction and telling me to seek out the hidden organization, Revenant!"

Ron seemed quite happy while talking about that person, and even Paul could feel his joy in the voice, despite not being able to see his face hidden under the mask.

"I have asked around about him among our peers and it seems that nearly all of us were guided and saved by him..."

"He’s our guiding light in the darkness, and we all consider him our benefactor... what was your impression of him, Comrade Paul?"

Hearing the question, Paul remembered the benevolence and kindness of that person, and a smile appeared on his tired face.

"He was very kind and benevolent... almost as if he was a messenger of god who had descended from the sky to help a lost sinner like me to walk on the right path..."

"He was almost like a saviour of the people... a ’Hero’ if I must specify..."

Paul’s voice carried immense sincerity and awe; hearing his words, Ron nodded his head.

"Haha! Exactly! You got it all right! That’s the exact same feeling I got! I really want to meet him again and thank him from the very bottom of my heart!"

Ron and Paul chattered continuously as they walked, and after walking for nearly an hour and taking many turns and crossing the maze-like tunnels, the two of them finally reached a much wider tunnel.

This tunnel was completely different compared to the other ones.

It was clean, and there was no dirty water and trash in it, unlike the other ones. Even the stone and cement, which it was made of, were more intact and less damaged compared to the previous ones.

"Here we are!"

A tone of cheerfulness appeared in Ron’s voice as if he was happy after finally reaching the destination!

"I am actually surprised you are able to remember the way through this complex maze... I don’t even remember it..."

At Paul’s surprised voice, Ron giggled a bit and replied,

"I have always been good with maps and stuff... also I have a very good memory..."

"By the way, it took me an entire week to completely get used to the map and remember the way through the maze fully... don’t worry, you will also get used to it with time..."

"Moreover, I have this... it’s not too powerful but can show the way nonetheless..."

Ron pointed his finger toward the small lantern hanging around his waist.

It was a small, portable lantern that could be hung around the waist and used to see in dark environments.

The sewer was quite deep below the ground, so it was very dark and damp inside; using that lantern was crucial to navigate through the underground tunnels.

Paul’s eyes were so unfocused, and he was so exhausted that he hadn’t even noticed that small lantern shining all this time and showing the way until Ron pointed it out himself.

Ignoring Paul’s surprised expression, Ron carried him to the end of the empty tunnel till the dead end.

He raised his hand and then knocked on the brick wall in a particular rhythm.

*Click!*

As if an ancient mechanism was activated, the dead end turned out to be just a massive hidden door.

It was a massive circular door that slid to one side when someone from the inside activated the mechanism after listening to the rhythmic knock of Ron.

It had a brick pattern engraved on its outer side to make it seem like it was a dead end made of bricks and stones.

With a surprised expression on his face, Paul was carried inside the secret headquarters of the hidden organization that called itself The Revenant!.
