The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

When all the guests left, everything fell silent.

The colored lights inside and outside the Megadon Manor have been extinguished. Under the command of Steward, the servants used slime glue-coated waterproof covers to cover the expensive and energy-consuming colored lights. The next time these lanterns see the sky again, it will be the autumn harvest festival here.

It’s not that the Megadon Family can’t afford to use those lights. They don’t lose money when lighting the lanterns for thirty days a month and twelve months a year. The reason is that the family motto is "Diligent and thrifty and housekeeping."

More than three hundred years ago, the humans of the continent fought a magnificent yet desperate war with the western demon race.

In the early days of the war, the human army sang triumphs all the way under the leadership of heroes who once again came from a place called summon in the foreign world. The human coalition not only eliminated a large number of demon race troops, but a hero even infiltrated the city of Demon Sovereign and beheaded the emperor of the demon race Thunder Emperor Ivan in the Imperial Palace.

However, just as the human coalition thought that the war was about to be won, and everyone was preparing to take the spoils of war home for the New Year, destruction came.

Using the identity of an adventurer to travel through the mainland, the demon race's eldest princess, Ekaterina, received news that her father was killed and secretly returned to the Demon Imperial Capital to ascend the throne.

At the same time, a blockbuster exploded on humankind's territory. Known as "Portable Great Library" and "Walking Spring of Wisdom", Great Sage Fillip, who was also the sage of the Harvest Temple and the sage of the Forge Temple, defected and followed the adventurer party's member Ekaterina to the demon race.

And their adventurer party leader, Victoria, who was the elven princess at the time, rode her dragon to chase and kill the two people all the way, until the opponent received a team of demon race troops and then returned without success.

The succeeding Empress Ekaterina gathered the ruined soldiers in a short time and assembled a powerful cavalry force. Then, with the tactics of "Come by, I will only go all the way", concentrated forces and eliminated the human army that had been divided in the demon race territory with a partial advantage.

The human army, which turned from a big victory to a big defeat in an instant, had to temporarily withdraw from the territory of the demon race, waiting to return in a swirl of dust.

Demon race also took this opportunity to lick the wound and prepare for the next battle.

The brief peace lasted only ten years.

Ten years later, the war reignited, and the two armies took the forest sea, which is now the center of the continent, which cut off the demon race and human territory as the stage.

After three years of war, the two sides gathered their last strength to launch a final battle in the middle of Linhai.

The fighting lasted for five days and five nights, and the blood made the earth muddy.

Just when Ekaterina thought she was about to win the final victory, Great Sage Fillip, who had been lurking next to her, jumped back and perished the exhausted Ekaterina with a full strength attack.

In this blow, the god of harvest and God of Forging’s divine force breakthrough the sky, the golden harvest wheat ears and the red flame in the hearth are intertwined, and the beam of light that blends is clearly visible dozens of kilometers away.

On the battlefield after the incident, only Elf Queen Victoria returned. It was she who hid the Great Sage Fillip from the enemy behind for more than ten years, and brought back the deeds of assassinating the demon race empress at the last moment to the human world. .

Two years later, a team of Elves Guard brought a teenage child to the edge of the maple forest and supported him to establish a count leader here.

"This Elf Queen personal book's'low-key life, diligent and thrifty housekeeping' is our ancestor, and the family motto left to us by Great Sage Fillip." Count Megadon in the study after telling Charles the story , Pointing to a quaint parchment hanging on the study room and said.

The parchment is framed in a wooden frame that exudes a lot of magical energy, and it is still intact for more than three hundred years. The above handwriting does not show the beauty of the female handwriting, but reveals a sharp edge.

"Perhaps when Elf Queen was writing, she thought of her dead comrades-in-arms and the hatred of the enemy in her heart." Charles looked at the handwriting on the parchment and thought.

"Then who is the mother of the first generation of Count Megadon?" Charles discovered that a key character was missing from the father's story.

"It is said to be a female adventurer." Count Megadon said quickly, "I heard that one day our Great Sage ancestors drank too much. You will understand when you grow up."

"She died to protect the Wei Family Garden in the subsequent war. Elf Queen found her and Great Sage's orphan after the war."

Charles couldn't help but listen to the story. After thinking about it, he had read many versions of the opening story in many books, ranging from bloody chicken soup to unsuitable for children.

Now father tells him that the protagonist of the story is his ancestors. He recalled the kind of stories he had seen before, and found that this story of Infernal Affairs has some feelings a little bit different Right place.

At this time, Count Megadon said to Charles in the tone of educating a child: "Charles, I know that you have been smart since childhood. Your grandfather told me before he died that you will become a great scholar."

Charles nodded, after all, this is the benefit of the reborn transmigrator.

Count Megadon continued: "According to the noble tradition, I will find a wise tutor for your enlightenment education, and he will become your steward in the future, just like our steward Alfe is like that. Then when you are twelve years old, you will be sent to the City of Knowledge to choose an excellent Academy for further study."

At this time, Charles discovered the hidden meaning of father, so he tried Asked: "Then the situation has changed now?"

Count Megadon did not answer, but just said: "Guess."

Charles knows father's temper, whenever he does this When I say it, it means to test a person's wisdom.

Charles has not seen father test his subordinates so rarely. If the other party's answer satisfies count, the one waiting for that subordinate is a promotion and salary increase. The managers of the maple sugar workshop at home and the caravan outside have almost all been tested in this way.

Now it’s Charles’ turn to be tested for the first time, so he is learning the posture that grandfather usually uses when thinking about problems-the three fingers in the middle of the right hand take turns tapping the tabletop-while thinking about father's problem.

"Father told a historical story just now, so is it related to this history?" When Charles thought, his gaze scanned the bookshelf in the study, and then landed on one of the books— -"Legend of the Otherworldy Hero".

"That's it!" Charles' eyes flashed, and then the book thick enough to slap the slime flew towards him, smashing his face.

"You need to practice more with your magehand." Father said to his son with a smile.

Charles rubbed his nose and turned to the book catalog.

In this troubled world, the war between humans and the demon race has lasted for two to three thousand years.

More than a thousand years ago, after the gods bestowed divine force protection on mortals, Scales of Victory began to lean towards humans.

Under the guidance of the gods, mankind began to use the power of gods to lead mankind in battle from summon a group of heroes in a place called Japan in the foreign world.

Starting from the first year of the divine calendar when the first devout was protected by the divine force, it is now 1919 in the divine calendar. The foreign world hero is summoned every three hundred years. So far, it has been as summoned as cutting leeks for several crops.

What makes Charles feel gratified is that these five heroes from Japan have not only resisted the demon race, but also brought a lot of the fine traditions of the original world.

For example, conscientious sewers, clean Toilet Paper and hot spring culture in the city.

Charles, who came here at the beginning of the year, knew that he came from a world with a European medieval background. He remembered the health conditions in the Middle Ages and the Black Death, and almost made him suffocate himself while he was feeding. Forget it once.

The catalog is marked with the time when these heroes traveled through, Charles lifts a finger...

"The sixth hero is also coming." Charles lifts The head said to the father, "The flames of war are about to rekindle."

Count Megadon was satisfied with nodded, and then suddenly asked: "Are you also the hero who came through?"

Charles looked towards his father with his gaze looking at the slime. This moment finally came. After all, the book says that the heroes who have passed through are reincarnation type, summon type, death body possession type and sudden There are four types, but I don’t know what is the relationship between hero and the "fennel" character of fennel beans.

The important feature of the reincarnation type {delete}fennel bean{delete}hero is the premature wisdom like Charles.

So Charles shook his head and said, "No."

Just kidding, the family has money and land, and it’s still noble. It’s so good to be a rich man who pays back. Why do you want to go desperately with those Japanese people?

My great-grandfather, when he was a layman, relied on being handsome and rich, and abducted Little Princess from a small kingdom on the verge of bankruptcy to become his wife.

My grandfather, when he was studying in City of Knowledge, relying on his handsome, knowledgeable and rich man, he abducted the dean’s baby granddaughter back, leaving a place to curse him for eating slime freeze senior and junior brothers without a spoon.

My father is the youngest in front of me. When he was in business, he relied on being handsome, able to coax girls and rich, and he was born to take a certain duke who intended to rebel and prepare to marry with other families. The daughter was abducted back. And I heard that he has a lover out there who is beautiful enough to make mother jealous.

According to the Megadon Family’s tradition that one generation of businessmen and one generation of scholars alternate, Charles is ready to go to City of Knowledge to have student girls.

When hero is going to fight for life? Let's ask brilliant separately.

Count Megadon will naturally not let his son go so easily, because he is not the only person who doubts Charles like him.

"Really?" Count Megadon revealed his imposing manner. The coercion of a mage cannot be resisted by a child.

Charles didn't resist the pressure from father, but there was actually no way to resist it.

He raised his trembling hand trembling with fear and said: "I can swear to the god of light, I am not a hero from Japan."

Here is the existence of god In the world, one of the most common uses of gods is to be used as a polygraph, even for families that don’t believe in gods like the Megadon Family.

The holy white light flashed across Charles, and then he did nothing.

Of course, if he said "I am not a hero from the foreign world", he is now burned by the flames of light because of lying.

Count Megadon relaxed, and then the whole person changed back to the usual fatherly appearance.

Charles, who has passed this level, is also relaxed. He doesn't want to suffer a second time for this kind of family education.

Count Megadon continued: "Because the war is coming, so many people's minds are beginning to liven up."

"hehehehe..." Count Megadon gave a cold war. "That big bear is so smart, it hit us."

"The Prince who proposed to your elder sister Mira two months ago also hit us. The head comes up. But don’t care about his affairs. I will ask Elizabeth to help us negotiate with his father."

This time Charles understands that everything is a routine, no wonder Marquis Hermanrick Cynthia must be squeezed to yourself.

The troubled times are coming, the Megadon Family is rich, and the Hermanrick Family has an army. When the time comes Marquis Hermanrick may become a duke known as "King's Reserve Forces". Since it is the reserve team, it is not impossible to climb up.

And Marquis Hermanrick is not the only one with this ambition.

"So when Mira just turned twelve years old last month, I sent her to the Radiant Theology Court. That was the path she chose." Count Megadon said, "Next, I plan to send you to City of Knowledge in a few days. Your grandfather left a recommendation letter for you before he died. When the time comes, you can take the letter to his old classmates for help."

Charles nodded, it seems that his journey of making girls can start in advance.

Next, Count Megadon solemnly took out a box from the drawer. When he opened the box, Charles saw a ring inside.

"Take it and put it on, I know you want it for a long time." Count Megadon put the box with the ring in front of Charles.

This ring with no gems inlay and only a simple pattern is naturally not a power ring that symbolizes the title of count, but a space ring filled with various books.

Megadon Family business and heirlooms rely on the knowledge contained in the ring.

No matter what era, knowledge is the most precious asset.

Charles now knows the meaning of father, so without the slightest hesitation, he picked up the ring that he had seen in grandfather's hand and put it on the index finger of his left hand.

The ring seems to be alive. After putting on Charles' fingers, it automatically shrinks the Small Accomplishment to fit his finger.

Charles can't help but sigh, it turns out that the genie products must be fine products.

It was late at night, and Count Megadon stood up and looked towards the moonlit garden outside the window.

"Unfortunately, Sister Elizabeth still missed your birthday. It seems that the heavy rain a few days ago hindered their trip." Count Megadon sighed.

At this point, the things that should be said have been said, Count Megadon let Charles go to wash and sleep.

Since it’s washing and sleeping, it is natural to wash before going to bed.

Thanks to the foreign world heroes, this world does not have the habit of taking a bath like a scourge. Moreover, they also brought Japanese hot spring culture.

The only fly in the ointment is that the hot springs in the Megadon Family territory are too far away from the manor. Although the scenery is good, it is too much trouble to go there.

However, this is not a problem.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are more solutions than problems.

If Charles’ parents want to soak in the hot springs at home, they can "biu" two Level 1 fireballs in a small swimming pool-like bath. If there are two or three more "biu", then I can go to the sauna.

Of course, this is the strength of middle-aged mage. And Charles is a brat who only has one or two small magic tricks, not even an apprentice. The little Fireball from "biu" can heat the water in the big wooden barrel.

So the self-reliant Charles is now soaking his own steaming hot water in a large wooden barrel. When his face is flushed with redness, he immediately climbed out of the hot tub and turned to the other one. In a large wooden barrel containing freshly tapped cool well water.

On this midsummer night, after a tiring day, come to a simple version of the sauna, which can disperse the fatigue of the day.

As the young Young Master of the wicked landlord class of feudal society, when taking a bath, there is naturally a maid waiting in the bathroom.

At this moment, there was a maid in the bathroom in a black dress and white apron standing by and watching Young Master jumping up and down between the two barrels.

In her own words, her job now is to ensure that Young Master will not drown in a wooden barrel while playing in the water.

After tossing for a while, Charles finally sat quietly in the bucket of cold water against the wall of the bucket, resting his head on the rim of the bucket.

The maid knew that Young Master had been tossing enough, so she carried a small bucket of water and a small bottle of shampoo to help Young Master wash her hair.

At this time, the whole bathroom was quiet, except for the sound of the maid’s fingers rubbing against Charles’ hair and scalp, and the sound of water when flushing.

After rinsing the hair, Charles said to the maid: "Aunt Pomegranate, go to the kitchen when you get home. I will ask them to save you some snacks to take home."

p>

Pomegranate just put the small wooden bucket and shampoo in place, and in excitement, she said a little sorry: "Thank you, Young Master, let me get some snacks back."

The pomegranate is led by Count Megadon. The free folks, the country folks have a real heart, and often use the common flowers and grass to name children. It is said that when she was born, father was bargaining with a pomegranate vendor, so she got such a name.

Twelve years ago, when Charles' elder sister Mira was born, their mother started looking for a reliable maid to help raise the child.

After several levels of selection, the pomegranate, who had raised all four children he had in his thirties, became the exclusive parenting maid of the Megadon Family.

Give Charles a young and beautiful girl? Just kidding, the EXP Zero maid who has never had a child is a ghost?

So, for eight years, Pomegranate, a hardworking and simple maid, has been with Charles and Mira.

After returning to his room from the bathroom, Charles lay on the bed and looked at the silver moon outside the window, recalling what father said in the study tonight.

A chaotic world is coming, this messy world.

Charles waved his hand, and a light screen that only he could see appeared in front of him.

On the A4 paper-sized light screen is his personal information. Just like the countless games, frozen eels and online novels seen in the previous life, this thing shows his name, age, Information about level, EXP, physical strength, physique, strength, magic power, agility, spirit, skills and protection, etc.

At the beginning, Charles almost broke down when he opened this thing under the guidance of grandfather. He can accept that he lives in a world with gods, swords, magic and slime, but he can't accept this thing.

He once wondered if he was burned into a vegetable by the fire, and then his family let him participate in some weird experiments in order to save medical expenses. After all, his family's conditions in his previous life were not good. There was a building at home but the red line for demolition was two meters away. He himself was just an ordinary construction dog. Even if someone gave away a few lottery tickets before his death, who could Guaranteed to win?

He didn't accept that this is a real world until he noticed some small details around him.

After all, he has never heard of any virtual reality game where female NPCs or characters will be assigned menstrual periods.

Seeing that his physical strength and physique have increased by 1 point each due to physical exercise a while ago, Charles spit out as always: "This is really a world written in a novel that will definitely hit the street."

In addition to these messy settings, what makes Charles feel uncomfortable is that the gods of this world may have gone to India, where he is home, to drink Ganges water.

Because the political structure on this continent exudes a hint of caste system.

The relationship between the five different classes of the Royal Family, noble, freedmen, and slave, composed of noble monks at the top of each temple, kings of various kingdoms, and relatives within three generations is very similar to the four levels of India Caste.

The most important thing is that Charles saw the suppression of technology in history, whether it is scientific history or magical technology.

Aside from other things, there is a big problem with paper. Low-cost paper that can be used for writing has appeared with hero two or three times. But every time the war is over and hero goes back or stays dead, in less than two decades, the paper-making workshops and technologies will completely scattered ashes and dispersed smoke.

If the elves hadn't lived long enough, humans might not have known that such a thing had happened.

Currently, the only paper on continent is parchment and soft toilet paper that cannot be used for writing.

And the only ones who can do this are the Spiritual Gods in the sky.

In such a world, Charles was very depressed.

Especially when the war is approaching, his family’s previous practice of weakening conventional forces while maintaining their independence while equalizing their neighbors’ interests is obviously hard to work anymore.

This approach is like having two large formidable power but slow response "Big Ivan" at home, while the conventional power is a mess.

Usually everyone is afraid of "Big Ivan", so they will not act rashly. But when the "Big Ivan" are restrained, the Megadon Family will become a fat sheep who will kill for ten years.

Fortunately, Megadon Family has one specialty-rich. When the wind is not right, hiring a group of reliable adventurers, together with the guards of the family caravan, can at least deter Xiaoxiao.

As for the fruits of face left by ancestors? Just kidding, if you don't have the strength, that thing is similar to the maple leaf in troubled times.

Just as Charles was thinking about how to improve his strength in the next time, suddenly his eyes went dark after a loud boom, and finally he didn't know anything.
