Fulilian: Becomes a disciple of Celia at the beginning

Therefore, the heroic deeds of adventurers became a powerful medicine for people to resist the brutal demons and fight against despair; by using the worship of heroes to resist the fear of monsters.

As the brave warrior who successfully defeated the Demon King, Sinmeier undoubtedly holds the highest popularity among the northern kingdoms. The new generation of warriors all admire Sinmeier and regard him as their most admired idol.

This worship was so powerful that it even struck fear into the rulers of the Empire.

"Grow up listening to my stories."

Xinmeier murmured Milo's words, with a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

"That's right. The defeat of the Demon King was thirty years ago. Time really flies."

"But this time may just be an insignificant number to her."

Recalling the figure in his memory, Xin Meir's eyes became even more lonely.

But when he recalled that in [The Magic of Paradise], she returned from the future and closed her eyes to accept his love, the loneliness in Xinmei's eyes disappeared.

I, with my short lifespan, cannot give [eternal love] to her who has the seed of immortality. However, it is enough for me to be able to feel her feelings from the future while going against the river of time.

Milo stood aside, watching his idol's expression change, feeling confused.

But he longed to walk with his idol and bravely expressed his wish.

"Lord Xinmeier, my destination is the [Ful Basin] in the [Central Kingdoms]. Is it on the same route? If so, can we travel together?"

The boy's words interrupted Xinmei's recollection. After he stopped thinking about the figure of the elf magician in his memory, Xinmei nodded to Milo and said.

"My destination is the Holy City - Xutralu. If it's the For Basin, it's not far off."

"Just a boy, can you keep up with me?"

"If I could walk with you, I would follow you closely, even if it meant running myself to pieces."

"Not bad determination."

Xin Meir nodded, and with a flash of his body, he arrived at a very front position.

"My dear hero! Please wait for me."

At this moment, Milo just wanted to slap himself in the face for bragging for no reason; then he spread his legs and ran towards Xinmeier with all his strength.

At night, [Huvia Mountains·Mountain Cabin].

As a public resting point in the [Tick Region], arriving here means that most of the mountain journey has been completed.

When Milo, who had been dragged down by the brave Xinmeier all the way, finally arrived at the mountain cabin with sore legs, he pushed open the wooden door and collapsed to the ground.

The brave Xinmeier, who arrived first, had already used the fire to light a bonfire in the house, and unexpectedly found salted fish and vegetables left by the previous resident next to the fireplace.

Xin Meir walked forward and sniffed a few times, and found that the ingredients were still relatively fresh and there was no problem in eating them.

"What a blessing."

Xin Meir sighed as he prepared the food, and at the same time sincerely thanked the previous resident in his heart.

After a while, the aroma of food wafted from the campfire, and Milo, who had collapsed on the ground exhausted, regained some strength. He propped himself up and walked to the campfire, looking at his idol with anticipation and tears in his eyes.

"Please wait a moment. Since mushrooms are added to the soup, it needs to cook a little longer."

"Uh-huh."

Hearing that his idol had prepared his own share, Milo nodded quickly and agreed.

During the final waiting time, Milo suddenly thought of something and asked Xin Meir.

"My dear hero, I heard that after successfully defeating the Demon King, you have been living in the Holy City of Heltraru for most of your time. Is there something that brings you to the Northern Kingdoms this time?"

However, faced with questions from his juniors, Xin Meir, who has always been warm and welcoming, shook his head and did not give a direct answer.

"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question in detail."

"To be honest, there's an important matter I promised my companions, and it's beginning to be resolved in the Northern Kingdoms."

"And my action this time is to take this clue back."

Chapter 50: The Sister's Life Story and the Hero's Battle

[Xinshiji - 21 BC]

[Northern Kingdoms, Earldom of Gulanat]

In an open-air cafe.

In a deep voice, Myles continued to tell Celia and Gut the story of the Chamber of Commerce.

In the past, under the management of the master and the lady, the [Dalemonus Chamber of Commerce] has developed greatly and expanded its business.

The core business of the Chamber of Commerce is to cross the [Xuvia Mountains], exchange what they have with the cities on both sides, and make profits through the exchange of materials.

Given the natural barrier of the [Xuvia Mountains] and the geographical proximity of the [County of Gulanat] to the [Central Countries], which has the advantage of more sources of goods, the Chamber of Commerce's profits are extremely considerable.

As they became wealthy, they also began to establish the chamber of commerce headquarters.

Unlike the master's idea of ​​setting up the headquarters in the Earl's Territory, everyone in the Chamber of Commerce is basically from the same hometown and comes from the same village.

Most people think that instead of pouring money into the expensive [County of Gulanat] to get a small place to settle down, it would be better to invest all their money in their hometown and build the original village into the headquarters of the [Dalmonus Chamber of Commerce].

What's more, the village is located in the center of the [Earldom] and the [Xuvia Mountains]. Establishing the headquarters here will make it more convenient for the Chamber of Commerce's caravans to be supplied.

In the end, the master took into account the wishes of the vast majority of the Chamber of Commerce members, built the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in the original village, and moved his family there.

The eldest daughter, Gu Mi, was born and lived in such a prosperous village.

Miles recounted the prosperous past of the Chamber of Commerce, with pride and nostalgia in his eyes.

If everything develops as expected, the talented eldest daughter Gu Mi should become the next generation heir of the Chamber of Commerce under the training of her parents, and lead everyone in the Chamber of Commerce to create more brilliant achievements.

But what can we do? There are unexpected changes in the world.

On that day, [Guillotine Aura], one of the Seven Sages of the Demon Race, personally led the remaining troops to attack the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

Since the headquarters was built on the original village and was located in a remote area, even though the master immediately activated the warning magic and contacted the Earldom for help.

But by the time Count Gulanat personally led the city's knights to reinforce, the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters had already become a ruin.

With the guidance left by the master, the members of the Knights rescued the eldest lady who was trapped in a narrow safe.

Because the material of the safe was mixed with some magic-sealing minerals that could interfere with magic power, the eldest lady avoided the detection of the demons and survived successfully.

just

The eldest daughter, who was still a child, witnessed with her own eyes that her hometown had been trampled into such a desperate scene. Her parents had both died in the village to protect her. Even the severed heads of the master and his wife were still there.

When Myles said this, his voice was already filled with tears and trembling uncontrollably.

Gut's mood was also depressed. It turned out that his junior sister Gu Mi had such a heavy past to carry. No wonder she had such a deep hatred for the demons.

After recounting the heavy blow suffered by the Chamber of Commerce, Miles continued to describe what happened later.

"When the Chamber of Commerce headquarters was destroyed, I was in the Earldom preparing supplies for the celebration under orders from my master, and thus escaped death."

"Afterwards, thanks to the young lady's trust, she entrusted me with the management of the severely damaged Chamber of Commerce. Meanwhile, the young lady herself embarked on a journey of seeking power, seeking strength sufficient to avenge the demons."

"I've never seen the usually gentle young lady become so extreme, but I can't stop her."

"Because I know that 'revenge' may be the only belief that can support the young lady to live."

As Myles spoke, tears unconsciously flowed from the corners of his eyes, but he quickly wiped them away with the handkerchief he held to his chest.

"I'm so sorry, I've strayed off topic."

Miles straightened his expression and told Celia and Gut what he knew about [Guillotine Aura].

"In fact, over the years, the [Dalemus Chamber of Commerce] was not its first target, nor was it the last."

"As this gentleman previously analyzed, in the Northern Kingdoms, the demons have been surrounding the edges of large human cities, interfering with travelers and attacking surrounding villages."

"Especially for someone like Aura, who can transform dead humans into his own warriors, the desire to attack is even stronger."

"Even though the city lord, Earl Gulanat, has gradually deployed the Knights' forces outward and called on nearby villages to relocate to his territory, incidents of demonic massacres of villages are still common."

"But in the past few months, the demons' actions seem to have suddenly calmed down. There have been no reports of demons injuring people or invading villages for a long time."

"We originally thought that our good luck during this period, coupled with the city lord, Earl Gulanat's effective defense strategy, made it difficult for the demons to attack."

"But if the truth is really as you described, sir, and the demons chose to retreat and lie dormant, then things will be troublesome."

Myles said with a serious expression and some fear.

"Could it be that the demons have changed their target and are no longer targeting the Earldom of Gulanat, but are attacking other cities instead?"

After a brief analysis, Gut proposed this possibility, but Miles shook his head after thinking for a while.

"Not very likely."

"The Chamber of Commerce often travels to towns and villages outside the Earldom for business purposes."

"If the demons really planned to change direction and launch a surprise attack, it's impossible that they haven't achieved any results after so much time has passed."

"Especially something like Aura, capable of transforming human warriors into legions of the dead. To acquire more troops, it will surely commit a great deal of bloodshed."

"But in reality, a large area of ​​nearby towns and villages have not been attacked by the Undead Legion. Although there are occasional monster attacks, the frequency is not much different from before."

Miles stated calmly, "Unless the town that Aura wants to attack is located in the territory of another demon clan."

"But demons usually don't cooperate with each other. Leading one's own troops to another demon's territory is more likely to be seen as a provocation among the demons."

"Indeed."

Gut nodded in agreement, but Celia, who had been silent beside him, put forward a hypothesis that was far beyond the imagination of the two.

"That guy is quiet now, maybe he was just killed by someone?"

"Or maybe he was hurt by someone and is temporarily hiding to lick his wounds?"

"Um?!"

"This"

Both Gut and Myles were shocked.

One of them was familiar with the future plot and knew that [Aura] would launch a large-scale attack on [the Earldom of Gulanat] in the future; the other was limited by his own strength and vision and had never had such an idea.

"If that's the case, that would be great."

After the shock, Myles said with anticipation.
