Zongman: The wrong person on the ground, double Shenwei at the beginning

"Hmm... I still don't know your name, hero."

Rhodes was a little confused.

In the mobile game's storyline, there is indeed a girl named Taluwi. She possesses a complex bloodline of over thirty races, most of whom are orcs.

She was a sacrifice chosen long ago.

But that's at least seven or eight years from now.

However, upon closer reflection, the timeline doesn't seem to align with the main storyline, so the appearance of the other party at this point isn't too surprising.

Without much thought, Rod answered the girl's question with a smile.

“My name is Rhodes. As for being a hero... I don’t think I am one.”

Taluvi tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.

"But I see that everyone likes you very much!"

Rod shook his head with a wry smile.

"Those male adventurers were driven more by awe of power."

Taluvi stood with her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and gave a sly smile, like a little fox.

"I can't deny that girls all like you... You've now fulfilled every man's ultimate dream."

Rhodes shrugged.

"I don't want to be liked by all girls."

"Eh?"

"For example, there's a fat pig named Frini in the Ishtar family. If you met her, you wouldn't want her to like you."

"Is that so...? I don't know, this is my first time in Orario!"

Adi curiously peeked out from behind Rod and sized up her new friend.

"Miss Tarluvi, where are you from?"

Taluvi stood with his hands on his hips, a proud expression on his face, as if he were introducing his own treasure.

“I’m from Bergen! It’s a small but wonderful country! We just don’t interact with other people much, so you probably haven’t heard of it.”

Similar to Bergen in name, it also has a similar policy of isolationism to the Far East.

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually a member of a clan!"

"It should be said that the entire country is a family of relatives, and the members know and help each other!"

Riveria's gaze lingered for a moment on the four unique horns on Tarluvi's head, and she asked thoughtfully.

"Like the state-based clans of Lachia?"

Taluvi quickly waved her hand shyly.

"I read in the books the merchant brought that Lachia was a super-large military nation!"

“Perden is just a small country, like a village. But we have a very long history; our ancestors spent hundreds of years protecting that land!”

"Everyone believes that nothing is more important than that land, and they don't want to create unnecessary conflict, so they have always avoided exchanges with other countries."

"We can only learn about other countries through the occasional passing traveler or a merchant we have connections with."

Chapter 134 The Fountain of Life, Goddess Vera (Please subscribe and vote!)

Upon hearing the other party's explanation, Rod frowned almost imperceptibly, but did not say anything immediately.

Riveria gently stroked the fairy's long ears and murmured.

"No wonder, with my experience, I've never heard of this country before."

Taluvi stared in surprise at her heterochromatic eyes.

"Although I know that fairies live long lives, is this beautiful older sister really that old?"

Ais, holding her longsword like a puppet, spoke calmly with a blank expression, preparing to utter that forbidden number.

"She's already... *cooing*..."

Bang--!.

A lightning-fast chop to the head precisely created a large, visible bump on Ais's head.

Riveria swiftly withdrew her hand, not forgetting to steal a glance at Rhodes beside her. Seeing that he didn't show any unusual expression, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she found it unbelievable that she would have such an absurd thought as "worrying about Rod finding out her age".

Rhodes is such a fascinating and mysterious guy...

Girls who get closer to him tend to change.

Even I've become somewhat unlike myself...

Rod recalled information about this country in his mind and slowly began to speak.

“Belden, the misty land that possesses the wellspring of life.”

The spring of life in that place is a miracle that could never be born in the lower realm. Although it cannot cure incurable diseases, it can suppress them!

That thing might be a disguised divine weapon.

When he first met Alphia, before he had developed the multiple uses of the prayer system, he thought of using the Fountain of Life to temporarily sustain Alphia's life.

In addition, the goddess Vera of that country was also one of the contract partners in his plan.

But even though they knew everything, they couldn't just hand it over to him willingly.

If planned properly, this time we might be able to obtain a genuine divine power for free through prayer!

Taluvi's eyes lit up instantly.

She looked up with a look of surprise, grasped Rod's hands tightly, and shook them excitedly.

"You've actually heard of our country?!"

Rivera glanced at Rhodes helplessly.

So you found out?

Have you stopped acting altogether now?

Rhodes ignored the fairy princess's strange gaze, and only looked at Hestia in the distance, who had finally made peace with Loki and was sitting on the ground panting heavily.

When she saw Rhodes's gaze, she proudly made a "V" sign for victory.

Hestia almost fought the Vera in the Celestial Realm.

“In a sense,” Rod said, withdrawing his gaze and speaking meaningfully, “you and I do have an indirect connection.”

Taluvi was curious and wanted to ask more questions, but seeing that Rhodes clearly didn't want to go into details for the time being, she obediently chose to change the subject.

"Hmm, it's a bit of a shame..."

"I made a special trip here to celebrate becoming an adult. I was also hoping to see the legendary Holy Night Festival of Orario in person."

"Aside from that amazing dance party, there wasn't a single festive atmosphere!"

"Could it be that the book has the wrong date?"

The two little girls, Amid and Ais, asked each other in confusion.

"Sacred Night Festival?"

Taluvi nodded vigorously, cupping her hands to her heart, a look of immense anticipation on her face.

"Yes! Of all the stories I've ever heard, my absolute favorite is about the Holy Night Festival! There's an illustration of the Holy Night Festival in the book that the merchant brought."

Her voice was full of longing, and her heterochromatic eyes sparkled.

"That illustration is so beautiful, it makes me yearn to visit that land! I really want to see that beautiful scenery for myself!"

"I've always wondered what the real Orario Night Festival is like, what kind of fragrance fills the air, and what kind of happy people live on the streets."

At this point, Tarluvi suddenly chuckled, a cute blush spreading across her face.

"However... although I didn't get to see the Holy Night Festival, I got to know all of you, and I even danced with Mr. Rhodes! So right now, I'm super, super happy!"

Ais clearly hadn't heard of any Holy Night Festival and still looked completely bewildered.

Does Orario have this festival?

Alphia gazed at the somewhat unusual girl before her, her eyes lingering for a moment on her strange pupils.

The first person I met besides myself had heterochromia...

The girl's pupils were blue on the left and gold on the right, while hers were gray on the left and green on the right.

This subtle sense of déjà vu prompted her to speak to a stranger, a rare occurrence for her, her voice cool and aloof.

"No, the book is right. This time of year is indeed the Hijiri Night Festival."

"But after the Zeus and Hera Familia left Orario, a long dark period began here. People who were already struggling to survive had not held any festivals for a long time."

Rivera, standing beside him, looked somewhat embarrassed.

This is clearly because they do not have the same suppressive power as the two great clans of the past.

But at the same time, she became increasingly suspicious of this "Sister Al." How could she know something like this? Was she really a newcomer to the Hestia Familia?

Leaving aside the Monster Festival, which hasn't yet been established because of heretics and may never be held in the future.

Orario has many grand festivals, mainly including the Elegy Festival, Goddess Festival, Holy Night Festival, Great Day, and Divine Moon Festival, among others.

The Holy Night Festival is probably similar to Christmas in its previous form.

Alphia paused and glanced at Rhodes beside her.

"If possible, if you come to Orario again around this time next year, you will be able to witness the Holy Night Festival."

"Next year..."

A fleeting hint of sadness crossed Tarluvi's eyes, but she quickly masked it with a bright smile and changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, although there's no Holy Night Festival, since we've come all the way to Orario, are there any places you'd recommend for fun?"

Rivera's emerald eyes scanned the shadows in the street.

"Although some pubs and vendors are still open, it is dangerous to travel alone at this time."

Just as Tarluvi was about to continue speaking, a series of clear scraping sounds of armor and hurried footsteps suddenly came from afar.

"Damn it, I have to find her no matter what!"

"Is it here?"

"Hurry up and gather!"

Taluvi's expression changed; she slumped her shoulders in frustration and muttered under her breath.

Is this the end...?

Swish swish swish swish—!

Before the words were finished, four figures clad in heavy full-body armor descended from the sky, their heavy landings accompanied by the dust kicked up, completely surrounding Tarluvi.

A cold-faced male fairy walked slowly towards them, his expressionless face showing a hint of relief in his eyes as he realized he had found his target.

"Finally found it, I..."

next second.

He and his four knights stared wide-eyed, their bodies stiff as stone statues, not daring to move a single finger!

Time seemed to be frozen at this moment.

A golden flash ripped through the night, and Ais's figure moved so fast that only a blur remained.

The sword of despair in her hand was already silently aimed at Knight A's heart, the cold tip just an inch away from piercing through.

Liu appeared behind Knight B without anyone noticing, gripping the seemingly harmless wooden sword in her hand, but holding it at a cunning and ruthless angle to the opponent's vulnerable neck.

Adi's petite figure confronted Knight C head-on.

Alphia didn't even use a weapon; she simply extended her fair right hand and aimed it at Knight D's head.
