In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

Although it was only the second time Aga had seen something like this, he felt...it was very strange.

His face was flushed, and he gently poked the supple skin.

"What are you doing?" Oshin patted Aga on the shoulder.

"Eek—what? I didn't mean to touch it!" Aga seemed to be greatly frightened, retreating at lightning speed, and said helplessly.

"Huh?" Ou Shen looked at Aga strangely. "Touch? What do you want to touch?"

Then Oshin seemed to understand something, and pulled a small object from somewhere on Lamia's corpse, handing it to Aga: "You must be looking for this."

Aga accepted the things Ou Shen handed over with a bewildered look on her face.

A small golden harp.

"You must be looking for this," Ou Shen said with a smile, patting Aga on the shoulder. "I didn't know you were interested in music."

Aga: ?

"Haha, yeah, that's exactly what I was looking for..."

Ou Shen, my good brother, I never expected you to take the initiative to help me find a way to distance myself from you.

Then the next second he saw Ou Shen looking at him with encouraging eyes: "I happen to have some knowledge about music here, I'll teach you later."

Aga watched Ou Shen's retreating figure, and didn't want to say anything.

So you didn't realize I wanted to rub Lamia...

Looking at the small golden harp in his hand, Aga sighed and chased after them.

Ou Shen faced the group, his eyes unreadable: "So, the last monster has been dealt with, which means..."

“We’re leaving this place, right?” Kimia stood up as well, smiling at Oshin.

"Finally, we're setting off! How's it going, Lemoni?" Ruslan patted Lemoni on the shoulder and chuckled.

For the first time ever, a smile appeared on Lemoni's face: "With you all traveling together, I feel it will be a pretty good trip."

“Hey, Agah, wanna come along?” Oshin looked at Agah Bimello standing behind him.

Aga paused for a moment, then nodded without hesitation: "Let's go together!"

......

Laurent's office.

"You did it! Thank you, thank you!" He excitedly grabbed Ou Shen's hand and shook it vigorously up and down.

After a month away, the five young men standing before him had not only defeated the Sirens and Lamia, but had also completely shattered the magical beast circle surrounding Ozark, solving Ozark's problem of being unable to communicate with the outside world.

"I must throw a grand party for you all, I absolutely must!" Laurent called to Cokuvit, "Go quickly and buy all the wine from the taverns in town!"

"Now that we have a chance to develop, we must hold a grand banquet for our heroes! Let's go!"

"Ah, yes!" The cowardly Kokuvit obeyed and hurried off.

Ou Shen nudged Aga with his elbow: "So, do you want to go back and see your sister now?"

“I…” Aga hesitated.

"Don't bother looking at me." At that moment, a slightly angry voice came directly from outside the office door.

Bang!

Alma kicked open the door to the mayor's office and walked in, carrying the terrified coward Kokuvit in one hand and clutching the other tightly.

She put Kokuvit down and walked over to Aga, looking up at her younger brother who was much taller than her but was trembling.

Laurent glanced at Cokuvit, then at Alma, but said nothing.

He definitely knows Alma and Agah, but this is their family matter, so it's not appropriate for him to interfere.

"Come on, let's talk outside." Alma grabbed Agah's wrist and led him out.

Ou Shen and the others exchanged glances and followed him out, shrugging their necks.

“Mayor, this, this…” Kokuvit was a little at a loss.

"...You should continue buying bars, but don't buy from Alma's family anymore," Laurent said helplessly.

Alma pulled Agara back to the tavern, and Ocean and the other three followed.

"Why did you follow us here!" Alma glared at Oshin and the others.

“I just came along to take a look…” Ou Shen said with an awkward laugh.

Lemoni was looking at the scenery, while Luslan and Jimia were pretending to look at the scenery.

Alma's eyelids twitched, and she said resentfully, "Come in, all of you!"

Several people filed in, and Alma pressed Agah into a chair, while the others stood to the side as if being punished.

Alma stared at the restless Agah without saying a word, just staring.

However, Aga felt immense pressure, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"What are you panicking about? I haven't said anything yet." Elma looked at Aga's expression and laughed mockingly. "You have the guts to run out and kill monsters without saying a word, but you don't have the guts to sit here and see your sister, do you?"

Seeing Alma's sneer, Aga's face twitched, and he chuckled awkwardly, "How could that be? Why would I panic? After all, look how beautiful you are, right?"

"Stop flattering me." Elma rolled her eyes. "Tell me what monsters you killed."

“Hmm… Ah?” Aga was a little surprised, then quickly replied, “We killed a Hydra, three Chimeras, and a lot of Demon Boars, and we also killed the Sirens and Lamia with Ocean and the others.”

"Really?"

“Really, it’s really true.” Aga nodded hurriedly.

Alma glanced at Oshin and the others, and they were all nodding.

"You seem to have really grown a lot." Alma gently rubbed Aga's head. "You didn't get hurt outside, did you?"

"It's just a minor injury..." Agah stammered.

“I won’t stop you from leaving, but don’t forget you have a sister in Ozark.” Alma said calmly.

Yet, there was a hint of sob in her voice.

Chapter 593 The Elma Sets Sail

evening.

Laurent stood beside the altar in the center of town, giving a long, tearful speech praising the heroic deeds of Oshin and his companions.

Jimia, Aga, and Luslan stood in the crowd, holding wine glasses and reveling together. Lemoni was nowhere to be seen, somewhere in the venue.

Ou Shen stood silently at the back of the crowd, drinking his wine without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you? Standing here drinking alone, this isn't like you." Alma noticed Ocean, who was standing alone, walked over to him, and looked at him strangely.

"It's nothing," Ou Shen smiled. "But you, we're leaving tomorrow, won't you chat with your brother a little longer?"

“There’s nothing to talk about. I can’t control his personality. Don’t let his timid demeanor fool you; he’s actually quite bold.” Alma’s gaze was fixed on Aga in the crowd, and she couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Indeed, most people wouldn’t dare to come with us to kill the Sirens and Lamia.” Oshin nodded in agreement. “You can tell he really wants to become stronger; otherwise, I wouldn’t have let him travel with us.”

Is he very strong?

"Not bad, and with Rashtanaha's gift, his combat ability is definitely not weak."

"You mean that ship?"

"The ship, and everything else on the ship."

After saying this, the two of them remained silent for a while.

"Oshin, promise me one thing." Alma lowered her head, her stray hairs obscuring her eyes, making it impossible to discern her true emotions.

“…I think I know what you’re trying to say.” Oshin took a sip of baijiu. “I’ll take good care of Agah, but…in battle, he’ll have to rely on himself.”

“Good, that’s good to hear.” Alma raised her head and shook it, then patted Oshin on the shoulder. “Of all of you, Jimi is too naive, Luslan has too much baggage, and Lemoni seems a bit afraid to make friends. Only you are the most reliable. I only feel at ease having you take care of things for Aga.”

Ou Shen's lips twitched: "You can't let them hear that."

"So what if I hear it? If I'm not satisfied, I'll fix them one by one." Alma sneered, cracking her knuckles, making Oshin's scalp tingle.

"Now that I've finished asking my question, what about you? Why are you standing here instead of going for a drink with them?" Alma looked at Oshin. "Don't try to change the subject. I'm not stupid."

Ou Shen's face stiffened, then he gave a bitter smile. So he couldn't escape after all.

"I was just thinking about some things."

"Is it inconvenient to talk about it?"

"It's not that it's inconvenient... it's just that saying it might have a bad impact, or rather, I don't know how to say it, that's all." Ou Shen smacked his lips for a long time but couldn't say anything.

"Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'm leaving." Alma felt that Oshen was keeping her in suspense, and the veins on her head bulged.

"Well, then tell me." Ou Shen felt he wanted to say something but didn't want to, so he decided to just say it; it would make him feel better.

"What I'm about to say is something all four of them already know—it's what happened that day, under the tree in Rashtanaha..."

Oshin leaned against the wall, telling Alma about what had happened late that night.

Alma fell silent.

After a long pause, she finally spoke with difficulty: "Although it sounds absurd, considering your identity, it is still quite credible."

She rubbed her head: "So, your divine core was sealed by your father, which greatly reduced your strength?"

Ou Shen nodded dejectedly.

He touched his chest: "Although I've made up my mind, but..."

With a dim look in his eyes, Ou Shen's voice trembled slightly: "I myself don't have much confidence that I can really break through this shackle."

"...Before I met you, I never thought I could get so close to the gods in my life, so there's nothing I can do but say—good luck!" Alma suddenly patted Oshin on the shoulder.

"You don't need to tell me, I will definitely find a way to break free from this damned shackle." His eyes suddenly turned fierce, and his body became involuntarily damp, carrying a hint of coldness. "No one can restrain me, no one can control me!"

Alma was a little startled by Ocean, and her hand froze in place.

Ou Shen quickly concealed the aura he had inadvertently revealed: "Sorry, I'll go find Luslan and the others first."
