family.

Kaguya's earnest words echoed in Ryu's mind without warning.

"Why don't we all marry Lynn?"

"53 Book Club"

"That way, we can be together forever, and we can be a family forever."

His fair face flushed uncontrollably.

Ryu suddenly turned around, turning her face to the other side and covering it with her golden hair.

She felt her ears burning intensely.

"What's wrong?" Lynn looked at her in confusion. "Why is your face so red?"

"It's nothing."

Liu's voice was a bit stiffer than usual, and she didn't turn around.

"The air in the alley is not circulating, and it's a bit hot."

熱？

Isn't this quite refreshing?

Liu seemed afraid that Lynn would ask questions, so she ran quickly.

"Hey, won't you get even hotter if you run?"

Lynn called out from behind.

Liu ran with her head down, constantly reminding herself not to let her mind wander.

The secret hideout of Thanatos, the god of death

Sanatos spoke to his captain, Valeta;

"Vareta, go to Bio Valley and try your best to find the black dragon's scales." (Man)

Black dragon scales?

Valeta had naturally heard of it, but she asked with a puzzled look.

"Black dragon scales, are those really in the Bio Valley?"

Sanatos sat on the stone chair, not looking at Valeta, his gaze fixed on the distant valley; "Yes."

“Countless adventurers, including Freya’s Familia, have searched there and found nothing,” Valetta said sarcastically. “Perhaps it was just a lie.”

“Just because they can’t find it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist,” Sanatos said slowly. “It’s just buried somewhere in the valley.”

“Okay, even if it really is there.” Valeta looked directly at Sanatos.

"What's the use of that thing? A dragon scale, no matter how strong, what can it do? Do you intend to use it to forge an indestructible suit of armor?"

Sanatos finally turned his gaze to her;

"The deaths of Dina and Vina still had some impact."

"Their deaths disrupted my plans."

"Originally, when the subversion plan was being implemented, the two of them, along with several other officers, would have been enough to hold back the main force of the Loki Familia."

"Now, we are missing two LV5s, which is close to LV6 in terms of combat strength."

"To ensure the success of Plan 630, I need to fill this combat capability gap."

"So?" Valeta pressed, "What does this have to do with black dragon scales?"

Sanatos's lips curved into an almost imperceptible smile.

"I'm not very interested in the thing itself."

"I need to use it to exchange for a greater power."

Thanatos stood up and paced slowly in the secret chamber; "I will use this piece of black dragon scale to gain the support of the god of war, Kali."

...

The iconic giant elephant marked the location of Ganesha's capital.

Moreover, a notable feature of Ganesha's settlement was that when the retinue entered and exited, they had to walk on the crotch of the elephants.

That's right, very precise crotch position.

Fortunately, the Ganesha clan's training grounds and animal taming grounds were all located outside.

"I am Ganesha!"

"I am Ganesha!"

"Hahaha!"

The voice of Ganesha was like thunder; Lynn and Ryu heard it as soon as they approached the training grounds.

"I am your guide!"

"I am Ganesha!"

“Ganesha!” Lynn had to interrupt this personal show of the “53 Book Club”; he didn’t have time to listen to this now.

Ganesha on the platform was interrupted and froze.

He slowly turned his head, and his large, bell-like eyes instantly locked onto Lynn.

The next second, the solemnity on his face was instantly replaced by ecstasy.

"Oh my god! Look who this is! Lyon, the new hero of Yullari and the embodiment of justice! And the wind spirit, Ryu Leon!"

The god Ganesha leaped from the high platform, opening his arms as if to embrace the two.

"God Ganesha." Ryu bowed slightly, maintaining the etiquette of an elf while also keeping an appropriate distance.

The god Ganesha was not angry at all.

"I know all the deeds of the heroes! Your bravery, along with that of the Astrea Familia, shines like stars, illuminating the sky of Yulari!" Ganesha waved his hand, pointing to a group of new adventurers in the square, "Stop right there!"

Ganesha's voice didn't weaken at all. He grabbed Lynn by the neck and turned him towards the dozen or so bewildered newcomers below the stage.

"See these two?" Ganesha's voice was full of fervor. "They are your role models! They did not back down in the face of the henchmen of the dark faction! They defended justice with their lives in the face of absolute evil!"

"He is the role model for all of you!"

"Learn from him! Learn from the hero!"

The newlyweds below the stage were taken aback at first, then erupted into a thunderous cheer and discussion.

"It's Lord Lynn!"

"Alive! He's a real hero!"

"The elf next to him is so beautiful... Is that Miss Ryu Rion?"

Lynn felt a chill run down his spine from the enthusiasm. He shook off Ganesha's arm, lowered his voice, and urged him on.

"God Ganesha, I really have an urgent matter to attend to, and I don't have time! I need to rent the fastest dragon mount, right now!"

“Of course! Of course!” Ganesha readily agreed, but his eyes gleamed with shrewdness. “How could I, Ganesha, refuse a hero’s request?”

He then changed the subject and pushed Lynn to the forefront again.

"But look at my children, they admire you so much. Say a few words to them, inspire them with your heroic deeds!"

“Just a few words will do!” Ganesha leaned close to Lynn’s ear, his voice much softer. “If you can inspire them, I promise you my most beloved and fastest dragon, the Flying Elephant!”

Flying Elephant!!!

Ganesha, the elephant god, still hasn't forgotten his roots!

Although the name is disgusting, did you hear that right?

Did Ganesha say "send"?

"You're giving this to me?" Lynn asked again.

Ganesha nodded, "That's right!"

Lynn was overjoyed; it seemed that this Ganesha was also a god of temperament.

Lynn gritted his teeth.

Okay, it's just a speech!

Tell me! He's seen plenty of feel-good stories from Earth.

Lynn cleared his throat and addressed the hundreds of people in the audience: "Hello everyone, I am Lynn."

"Hello everyone, I'm Lynn."

The opening remarks were simple and unpretentious.

"Many people call me a hero."

Lynn began to tell her story in detail;

"But I want to ask, what is a hero? Is it someone who can cut down a powerful monster with a single blow? Or someone who can chant world-destroying magic?"

He shook his head.

"neither."

"A hero is not a result, but a choice."

Lynn's gaze swept over everyone, his voice becoming steady and powerful.

"It is when you face an enemy stronger than yourself that you choose to grip your weapon tightly instead of turning and running away."

"When your comrade falls, you choose to stand in front of him rather than live a life of dishonor."

"It is also when you are exhausted and want to give up that you choose to grit your teeth and persevere for just one more second."

His words stirred ripples in everyone's hearts.

The eyes of those newcomers who had just stepped into the world of adventure, still filled with confusion and fear, gradually changed.

"I want to ask you a question."

Lynn's voice softened, taking on a guiding tone.

"Do you still remember who you were yesterday?"

This question left everyone stunned.

"Yesterday, you might have been frustrated by a failed mission. You might have been short of money and couldn't even afford a decent weapon. You might have been ridiculed by your companions for your lack of skill."

"Yesterday, you were weak, confused, and even... wanted to give up."

Lynn's voice revealed the vulnerability that everyone is most unwilling to face.

Many of the newcomers lowered their heads unconsciously, their eyes dim.

"but.".

Lynn abruptly changed the subject, her voice rising sharply.

"You've come to stand here today!"

"This means that you are stronger today than you were yesterday! Even if it's just a tiny bit stronger! Even if it's just because you swung your sword one more time or memorized one more spell!"

He pointed his finger at the audience below the stage.

"The person you should truly admire is not me on the poster, but yourself—the one who triumphed over yesterday and chose to move forward!"

The training ground remained deathly silent.

But the atmosphere has quietly changed.

The newcomers who had been looking down slowly raised their heads, their eyes no longer filled with confusion, but with a thoughtful expression after being touched.

Liu stood behind Lynn, her golden eyes sparkling with a strange light.
