Manga Born to Be King

　　"I do not really get it."

　　For those who were born in the era of peace, they have not experienced war and despair, and they have received the education of a harmonious society.Perhaps, there is a certain distance from the people in this world.

　　but--

　　"Even if it's just a prayer, I hope the tragedy will never happen again."

　　Nangongxiao put the flower on the stone tablet, and then left silently without disturbing anyone.

　　"Brother, what's wrong?"

　　Sure enough, Lily still found something wrong.

　　"It's nothing, I just went to say hello to others."

　　"Oh."

　　Men have a man's social circle, and she won't ask much.

　　"Say,"

　　"elder brother?"

　　"Lily, go back first, it's been a long day of fighting for you."

　　"No, it's not hard work, then I'll go back first!".

Chapter 439

　　Ace left the room.

　　Looking at the brightly lit night scene from the base, she could not stay in the room because of a strange dream.

　　However, instead of wearing her usual adventurer attire, she wore a white dress and tied her long blond hair behind her head.As if being guided by the funeral lights, Ais quietly walked out into the street alone.

　　(There are also many people this year...)

　　The dirge has only just begun.People starting from the central square are heading towards the monuments scattered around the city, moving in a long line along the main road.Some are in the front courtyard of the guild headquarters, some are in the first cemetery, and some are in the outskirts of the city. Many of them are "ancient" heroes who have never met, and some adventurers who have passed away.

　　In fact, most people participate in the Elegy Festival to offer flowers to the adventurers they know.

　　Family, lovers, colleagues.There are many people in the labyrinth city who know people who died in the dungeon.You can see the human girls holding flowers in both hands and weeping, and you can also see the fairy women who have already overcome their sorrows marching forward.

　　The staff of the guild were responsible for maintaining order all over the road, and Ais, who was leaning against the side of the road upstream, quietly lowered her gaze.

　　Looking at the flickering candlelight on the ground, what flashed in my mind were the faces of those who said goodbye to each other just now.They can be relatives, close friends, or confidants.Among them, there is also a partner of the Loki Familia.

　　Ais also lost the seniors and juniors of many factions in the cruel labyrinth exploration.Fragments of death flashed through his mind, and dying words rang in his ears.Grief at the death of a partner haunts a corner of my heart again.

　　——If you don’t want to face parting anymore, you can give up going to the dungeon.

　　——Just stop the "adventure" and give up exploring the "unknown".

　　People who don't know the truth are admonishing adventurers like this.

　　But Ais, it should be said that a first-tier adventurer has a reason why he cannot stop fighting.

　　Of course, everyone has their own ambitions and aspirations, but the most important thing is that they have a mission entrusted to them by the world.

　　"Ah, it's Jian Ji!"

　　The flame of the candle illuminated the profile of her face, and just as Ais was lost in thought—a boy orc recognized Ais who was walking backwards and shouted in surprise.

　　"Although I don't have a sword, it's really me!"

　　"Looks as beautiful as a fairy, not even losing to the goddess!"

　　"Jian Ji, what is she doing here?"

　　Several young children left the line and ran over.

　　This group of innocent children looked up at the famous first-level adventurer with bright eyes, which made Ais feel a little embarrassed.

　　"No, you have to add honorifics! The first-level adventurer is very great!"

　　At this time, one of the half-goblin girls reminded everyone.After correcting everyone's words and deeds, the girl looked at Ais again and said with flowers in her hands.

　　"That, Lord 'Jianji', I heard what my mother said! She said that there is a very powerful and terrifying 'dragon' on the other side of the world!"

　　Pfft!

　　Ace's hands trembled.

　　The timid half-elf girl looked at the speechless Ais and continued: "Mom said that today's sacrifice is also to send blessings to the heroes who protected the world from the hands of the 'Dragon'! It is also to pray for the adventurers The 'Dragon' that can conquer everyone's fears!"

　　"..."

　　At this moment, the other children held their breaths, and the girl looked at Ais sincerely and said.

　　"Lord Jian Ji, please be sure to defeat the bad dragon!"

　　"kindness."

　　Hearing the girl's wish, Ais nodded.

　　"Absolutely, defeated."

　　Then Ais made up her mind secretly and showed a dreamlike smile.Hearing Ace's answer, the children smiled brightly.They smiled and said, "Come on!" and then returned to the team.

　　Ais waved off to the children, then moved on.In order to avoid the crowd who had noticed her, Ais walked towards the sparsely populated path.

　　In the end, they finally reached the uninhabited high platform.Ais looked up at the starry night sky while recalling the conversation she had just had with the children.

　　——There is a very powerful and terrifying 'dragon' on the other side of the world!

　　That was the last quest left in the "Three Adventurers Quests".

　　This is also the sad wish of all the people in the lower realm - to crusade against the "black dragon".

　　This black dragon left the land of Orari, and was even called the end of life. People expected to slay it. This was the mission that Ais and the others were carrying.It is also the expectation carried by the "family" standing at the top of the city.

　　So they have to keep fighting, they have to keep getting stronger, and they can't give up even if thousands of their companions leave.

　　This is a labyrinth city where the world's strongest adventurers gather, and it is also Orari who gave birth to that disaster, so subjugating the Dragon King is an obligation and a qualification that must be fulfilled.

　　With the night wind blowing, Ais pressed her hair down and looked at the lights on the street.After a long time, the moon hanging in the air was slowly moving, and at this time, singing came from the central square.

　　It seems that the dirge that runs through the entire memorial begins.

　　Many citizens gathered in the center of the city, and everyone was singing with their heads held high.At this time, people crossed the racial barriers, and various emotions were intertwined and flowed in the night sky of Orari.As the maiden said, people offered their condolences and thanks at the dirge, while also praying.

　　Ais and the first-level adventurers are very aware of the meaning of this prayer.

　　The world craves "heroes".

　　Many adventurers in the city listened to their songs in Orari.

　　They have villain warriors sitting alone in the office, fairy princesses, and dwarf veterans.There are werewolf youths standing on the roof, and there are Amazon sisters.

　　There is also a pig warrior at the top of the white giant tower.

　　Everyone is looking forward to the "hero" of the new era and listening to this song of sad wishes.

　　Victims will continue to appear in the future, but the birth of "heroes" is based on countless lives, and this will probably continue until the grief of the lower world is fulfilled.

　　I'm afraid, it will continue, and we will have to wait until the divine will of the gods that has been concealed is achieved.

　　It has to continue until the bottom of the dungeon is attacked, otherwise the vast fire of sacrifice in front of you will not disappear.

　　(It was really painful to look those kids in the eyes.)

　　It's painful to listen to this dirge now.Ais also has her own sad wishes, which are different from people's "wish".

　　Because she has something she longs to get back.

　　Until the agreement is reached, Ais will continue to fight for her personal grudges.Just like those adventurers who lost their friends in the dungeon.

　　The adventurer is not a noble "hero" that people admire, but a funny puppet bound by selfish desires.

　　"I……"

　　Ace's throat trembled.

　　She tasted the beautiful dirge bitterly, and at the same time wanted to escape from the song.The girl did not voluntarily swing the sword, the girl just had no choice.

　　Today's dream and the solemn melody in her ears kept circling in Ais' heart.In the end, Ais spoke as if to vent.

　　"I can't be anyone's hero."

　　"..."

　　Nangong Xiao stopped and looked at the night sky where the singing echoed.

　　"The gods are singing too."

　　Today you can hear lamentations for the dead, hymns of thanks for heroes, and prayers for new "heroes".Bell also noticed that it was mixed with the singing of the gods.

　　There is a drunken goddess who drinks at night in the moonlight, a silver-haired beauty goddess that makes people’s hearts rippling, an elephant-faced goddess with high emotions and tears, the smelting god standing by the window, and the elegant goddess standing on the city wall. There are also young goddesses waiting for their families to come home.

　　Most gods offer dirges for their children.

　　The life and death of adventurers, the life and death of heroes.Thousands of adventure tans, and hero tans that keep emerging.

　　——The labyrinth city Orari.

　　This is the "Original Land" where heroes are everywhere, and it is also the "Promised Land" where a small number of heroes are selected through a large number of sacrifices.Story continues to be born here, which has nothing to do with my wishes.

　　"I want to be a hero..."

　　Yes, this is what he has longed for since he was a child.

　　"But...it always feels a little sad."

　　Then, Nangong Xiao whispered out the sadness that this persistent elegy brought to him.

　　- This is never a fairy tale.

　　"Let's lay flowers this year too, so as not to lose yourself."

　　The girl whispered softly. .
