A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 104 Jungle Heroine
Conan the Barbarian, also known as Conan the Barbarian.

It originated in the world of Livy's previous life, and is a fantasy novel that American author Robert Howard began writing in 1932.

This novel holds a significant place in American literature, and there are numerous films, animations, comics, and even games derived from it.

For example, the role of Conan the Barbarian played by Schwarzenegger when he was young.

For example, in the Blizzard franchise, the Barbarian from Diablo was originally based on Conan.

In 1970, Marvel Studios acquired the comic book rights to Conan.

From then on, Conan the Wild officially joined the Marvel Universe and became a warrior handpicked by the ancient god Oshtur in the comics.

However, compared to Conan in movies and comics...

What Li Wei or his friends in China from his previous life are most familiar with is the childhood animation, Demon Slayer.

However, because this anime, originally titled "Conan: The Adventurer," was artistically translated as "Demon-Slaying Warrior," and the protagonist's name was also translated as "Ya Han," many people who have watched the anime cannot connect the two.

But in reality, it's just one person.

The old sorcerer who guides Conan on his adventure in the anime is based on the "Sorcerer Supreme" of that time.

The difference lies in the fact that, perhaps due to the anime, Conan in Demon Slayer appears to be kinder and more benevolent.

In novels, movies, and comics, he is portrayed as a ruthless and decisive character.

However, in the established setting, Conan the Barbarian lives in ancient times on Earth.

Okay, that makes sense. The blacksmith shop used ancient heroes to describe Conan.

Therefore, due to the era in which the heroes live and cultural differences, Conan and his related character, Sonia the Red-Haired (Queen's Sword), who are quite popular in Europe and America, are relatively unpopular heroes in China.

The problem is that after Li Wei traveled to the Marvel Universe, he never heard of Conan, this ancient hero, in modern society.

But now Li Wei heard it in the wilderness.

It's very interesting.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if that Elena changed her name to Shanna now,” Levi said, having briefly mentioned some of the legends about Conan to Tony and the others before entering the tavern.

“Sanna? Is there anything special about this name?” Tony asked, puzzled.

"Sanna, the Jungle Heroine, is a female superhero who exists like Schrödinger's cat. Don't worry about her too much," Li Wei waved his hand and said.

Shana, the Jungle Heroine, is another obscure superhero living in the wilderness in the comics, and can be regarded as the female version of Tarzan in Marvel.

However, the other party's background was completely different from Elena's, so Li Wei just made a casual remark.

then……

"Jungle Lady Jesanna? Her whereabouts are hard to find, after all, her whereabouts are always so uncertain. The last place she appeared should be in Stygia? It is said that she wiped out a whole army of snake people. She is simply Conan the Barbarian King reincarnated!" The waiter in the tavern shouted as he looked at the portrait (photo) of Elena that Levi took out.

Then Li Wei looked at the photos and then at his buddy.

Are you sure you didn't do it on purpose?
Tony, Natasha, and the others all stared at Levi, wondering if he would break out in a rage.

"So where is this Stygia?" Levi asked his companion calmly.

"You don't even know Stygia?" the waiter asked Levi with a strange expression.

Li Wei didn't speak, but silently took out a silver ingot. It wasn't as big as the one Tony had given the guard before, because Li Wei had cut it with a knife, and this one was only about a quarter of its original size. But it should still be a considerable sum of money.

Because the guy's eyes were practically searchlights.

“I don’t actually know the exact location of Stygia, because I’ve never been there. I only know that it’s in the south, at the source of the River Styx!” the shopkeeper said, his eyes fixed on the silver ingot.

"The River Styx?" Li Wei's mind went blank. Could it be the River Styx?
"Of course it's not the legendary River Styx, it's just an ordinary black river," the waiter said.

"What I said before was just a coincidence, do you believe me?" After the waiter left, Li Wei chuckled twice and said to the others.

Tony had a look on his face that said, "You'll see if I believe you or not."

“Victor, you say you’re a prophet, right? We’ll definitely believe you!” Natasha said earnestly.
Frank said there was no doubt that it was him.

Jessica's eyes lit up.

Bronsky looked doubtful.

Not only did they guess that the person changed their name, but they also guessed their nickname.

Is there such a coincidence?

...Forget it, let it be destroyed, believe it or not, Li Wei lies down.

“Looks like our next destination is Stygia. Snake people? I seem to remember that. When I was doing aerial surveying before, I did see a black river and a large snake-people city in the south. That should be the River Styx and Stygia that the tavern waiter mentioned.” Tony stroked his chin and recalled.

"Shall we set off now, or tomorrow? And are you planning to stay here tonight, or go back to New York?" Levi asked.

"Of course, back to New York. I need to take a good shower. You probably didn't see the fleas jumping around on the people on the street, and I doubt there's even a flush toilet here!" Tony answered almost immediately. "As for Stygia, we can leave tomorrow. Anyway, the world is actually quite small for us, isn't it?"

“Be confident, get rid of your doubts. There’s no flush toilet here, no shower—not even toilet paper!” Natasha said with a look of disgust.

Although Natasha has experienced all kinds of harsh environments as a super agent, why would she deliberately seek out hardship when she has a choice?

“God, this place is like hell!” Jessica, who was also a woman, was horrified when she heard Natasha’s words.

There's not even toilet paper. This world is truly terrifying.

Frank and Bronsky didn't have as many demands, but they agreed with Natasha's point of view.

Why not choose when you have the option?
“Very good, it seems everyone is in agreement.” Li Wei was satisfied with this, as he also did not want to live in the terrible “medieval” environment.

Since we've decided not to spend the night in the wilderness, there's no need to stay in the city any longer.

So they immediately prepared to leave the city.

Before leaving, Li Wei asked everyone to help him walk around the city and buy all the "star iron" he could find.

Its main selling point is its strong financial resources.

However, this has indeed attracted the covetous eyes of some people.

When the group left the city, many people were found hanging behind them.

"Gentlemen, are you sure you want to leave the city so late? The city gates will be closed soon and won't open until the rooster crows tomorrow!" The captain of the guards at the city gate kindly reminded them and gestured for them to be careful of the people following them.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we do have urgent business to attend to!" Tony glanced at one of the stalkers out of the corner of his eye, his smile quite friendly.
