The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

"So you've been thinking about this all along, haven't you? Like you men say, 'I want it all'?"

Listy frowned, as if accusing Venere of greed.

"You're the one who made me think that way!"

"I don't care, it's all your fault!"

Lisette poked Venus in the head with a finger and pushed her away in disgust.

"How could I have fallen for someone like you?"

Chapter 448 Lisette: Please sit down.

"How many days have you stayed in Lumiel Village?"

"Just one day. We returned to the Knights early the next morning to rejoin them."

"Then let's stay a couple more days this time, and also visit Snow Peak Valley—"

"The snow scenery at Xuelu Valley looks okay at first glance, but you get tired of it after a couple of days."

“Then let me show you the snow scenery of the Cordelia Territory. It’s definitely not inferior to their Snowy Valley,” Listy said confidently.

"I've already started looking forward to it."

Before Vena could even catch her breath, Listy added, "But we still have to go to Snow Valley, maybe another time."

She wanted to see scenery like that of Venus.

"If you just want to see the scenery of Xuelu Valley, there's no need to go through all that trouble."

Venus pulled Lisette back, then reached out and moved the screen, turning the ceiling into the perfect screen.

“This is the ‘Two Heroes’ statue, a historical site belonging to the Lafner family,” Wiener explained.

He projected the illusion created by the Mirror Flower Water Moon onto the ceiling and watched it with Lisette.

"...Can you tell me why there's only one statue of the two heroes?"

“Because when I went there, there was only one left, the one that Admiral cleaved in two. I don’t even know what it looked like,” Vina said with a hint of helplessness.

Then, with a gentle swipe, the Rufry statue on the screen collapsed with a crash, and countless craftsmen immediately erected a new giant sword statue.

"This is the new statue of Adramura erected after the destruction of the statues of the two heroes. You are the first person to see this statue besides those who experienced it firsthand in Snowdrift Valley."

"Not bad..." Lisette commented, leaning against the shoulder beside her.

Although Viner had already explained the general course of events in Snow Valley to her, how could words alone compare to the awe-inspiring power of the scene?

“This is the smelting plant in Snowdrift Valley, and this is the glass jar that the artisans in the valley worked together to make,” the images on the ceiling changed like a slideshow under Vina’s control. “Without the glass jar and Admira’s help, we might have really fallen that night.”

"Is that Sigurd?" Lisette pointed to the little wheelchair-bound figure directing the operation near the glass jar in the image.

“That’s right. Although he lost his ability to use emblems, what he learned won’t disappear with him,” Viner affirmed.

Sigurd cherished the opportunity to study at the academy.

Although he was repeatedly defeated by Felix and Wiener in terms of combat record, his grades in military theory were unparalleled until he dropped out of school.

"You call this turning enemies into friends?"

"We weren't really enemies to begin with. We were just classmates. If we had to name enemies, it would be those demons."

Regardless of Sigurd's initial thoughts, Wiener certainly did not consider him an enemy.

Wiener always thought of him as a demanding customer who couldn't afford to pay.

It's certainly okay to say a few more words behind someone's back, but to treat someone as an enemy over a trivial matter is tantamount to making the world your enemy.

The scene shifts again, revealing the Ice Blade Iron Cavalry, clad in gleaming armor, locked in a fierce battle with the Rock-Chewing Stone Monster.

Vina didn't rush to explain, but silently waited for the footage to play. After the Iron Cavalry held out until dawn, she slowly spoke: "In order to prevent the Stone Monster from crossing the defensive line, the Ice Blade Knights fought a bitter night, suffering nearly a third of their casualties."

Given such a devastating sacrifice, any further explanation would be superfluous.

He manipulated the illusions to move, eventually arriving at the center of Snowdrift Valley, where a giant stone tablet rose from the ground.

A hint of remembrance flashed in Viner's eyes. "After the battle, a monument was erected in the center of Snowdrift Valley to commemorate the fallen soldiers."

“They are heroes worthy of respect.” Lisette closed her eyes and paid her respects in silence.

If it weren't for their valiant efforts, even if the demon apostles were eliminated, Snowdrift Valley would still have been doomed.

“Well, if we go again in the future, let’s go and lay a bouquet of flowers together,” Vena suggested.

“Okay,” Lisette nodded in agreement.

The video didn't stop; instead, it sped up several times faster.

A square has been built beneath the once bare monument, and more and more people are gathering there.

Listy looked at a somewhat familiar figure and couldn't help but say, "Isn't that Felix?"

"Yes."

Wiener zoomed in, and Felix, who had initially been just a blurry figure, began to grow larger and larger.

"This is Felix—"

"Vina!"

Just as Viner was intently adjusting the screen, a dark shadow suddenly flashed across the screen, quickly blocking his view and startling Viner so much that he instinctively stood up.

The result was that the two heads collided with a "bang," and the image on the ceiling came to an abrupt end.

"Hiss—when did you get back?" Viner rubbed her sore forehead and asked Felix, who had suddenly appeared.

“The sword energy was exhausted, so we came back.” Felix also covered his forehead, looking at Vena with a wronged expression. “And another thing! You actually secretly showed the footage of Snowdrift Valley without calling me!”

“I only made this for Lisette because she’s never been to Snowdrift Valley. You’ve been there, so why are you joining in?”

Disturbed, Viña looked at Felix with a look of disgust.

Felix spent more than half a month exploring the entire Snowdrift Valley, leaving his footprints everywhere except for some key secret locations.

If given the chance to revisit the place, he might be a better guide than the locals.

“What’s wrong with wanting to relive it from another perspective!” Felix said matter-of-factly.

“Since Felix wants to watch, let’s watch together,” Lisette chimed in, trying to persuade him.

Knowing the importance of each element, Wiener had no choice but to agree and reconstruct the image on the ceiling. "Which part do you want to see?"

His implication was that Felix should make the request so that he could be sent away quickly.

Felix wouldn't stand on ceremony with Viner.

"I want to see which part where you and Anna defeat the Yeti Giant together!"

Whether intentionally or not, Felix directly chose the part that Venus least wanted to show in front of Lisette.

"...You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"I just want to know why I fell from the sky," Felix said innocently.

"Because Jessica used me as her coordinates to teleport, and I happened to be in the air at the time, so you were teleported up to the sky with her."

Wiener offered a verbal explanation, attempting to skip the visual presentation.

The more he tries to cover it up, the more it suggests his guilty conscience.

"I'm also very curious about how our classmate Vena managed to be a hero and save the damsel in distress," Lisette said quietly.

"Look, Listie is curious too, isn't she!"

Felix, now emboldened by the support, immediately broke into a smile, then found a good spot to sit and wait for the show to begin.

“Since Lisette also wants to see it…” Venere manipulated the screen, returning to the scene where Anna confronted the giant.

Lisette also sat up, not wanting to miss any of the details that followed.

However, she noticed that Venus was standing to the side, hesitant to sit down, so she said, "Vena, you should sit down too."

"Standing so far away, could it be that they're feeling guilty?"

Chapter 449 Vena's Transformation Tutorial

On the screen, the figures of Venus and her companion were lifted into the air by thousands of petals.

The swirling, dancing points of light converged and transformed into a pair of enormous wings of light, which unfurled behind the two.

"Final Scene - White Emperor Sword!"

With a soft call from Vena, he and Anna, surrounded by Thousand Cherry Blossoms, transformed into a silver bird and instantly pierced through the Yeti Giant before them.

The enormous body, radiating a terrifying aura, melted away in the silver light with a single blow.

"What a brilliant sword strike!" Felix exclaimed sincerely, his eyes gleaming.

He then summoned the Demon Blade Thousand Blades and instructed, "Watch carefully, learn well!"

The Demon Blade Thousand Blades bent its blade left and right, as if shaking its head to express its dissatisfaction, as if to say that it only needed one sword to deal with such an opponent.

The two who had just destroyed the snowman were slowly sliding down when a dark shadow suddenly appeared, brushed past them, and fell to the ground in freefall.

"Can you take me flying?" Felix pointed at the screen and asked the crucial question.

The Demon Blade Thousand Blades immediately returned to its original state, pretending not to have heard.

There was no need to continue showing the following scenes. Venere snapped his fingers and withdrew the Mirror Flower Water Moon.

"No wonder... I wouldn't be able to forget it either."

Lisette suddenly understood Anna a little better.

If a guy you already have some feelings for saves you in such a romantic way, it would be strange not to be moved.

“Now I really have confessed everything,” Viner said cautiously.

Playing footage of him and Anna's combined attack in front of Lisette made Venus feel like he was being publicly executed.

He had been sweating profusely ever since, afraid that he might have upset Lisette in some way.

“I said I wouldn’t pursue it, so I won’t. Why are you so scared?” Lisette rolled her eyes at Vena.

"By the way, Vena!" Felix suddenly spoke up after giving instructions to the Demon Blade Thousand Blades, "Since Mirror Flower Water Moon can simulate illusions so realistically, could you imitate the two demon apostles you encountered?"

"I've never even seen what an apostle looks like!"

Although it was unintentional, it did alleviate Wiener's awkward situation.

"it should be OK."

Viner glanced at Felix with a hint of gratitude, then held his breath as a faint layer of black flame enveloped his body.

Under the surge of this power, Vener's body began to slowly change. His face, height, and even his hair were reshaped. After a few breaths, he became like Kelda.

"This is the demon apostle I encountered in Snowdrift Valley, Kelda."

As her appearance changed, Wiener's voice also changed slightly.

“That’s not it.” Felix shook his head. “Where’s the sense of oppression? There’s not a trace of the oppressive feeling one would expect from an Apostle. What difference is there between him and some random old man on the street?”

"They have so many requirements."

As Viner recalled his fight with Kelda, the aura emanating from him drew closer to his opponent, turning chilling.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it!"

Seeing the change in Vena's aura, Felix's eyes lit up, and he immediately handed the Mimi-kiri to Vena, saying, "Try fighting me like this, let me experience what it's like to fight an Apostle."

“If you want to take this opportunity to get revenge, just say so,” Viner said irritably. “No matter how well this imitation is done, it’s just a showpiece to fool people. It will all be exposed as soon as you start fighting.”

It is already astonishing that a fifth-tier emblem wielder can simulate an aura close to that of a demon apostle.

However, given the vast difference in their magical energy levels, even putting on a show is incredibly difficult, let alone engaging in actual combat.

Conversely, as long as Wiener has personally experienced the power of others, and as long as the other party's grasp of power is not as deep as his, he can imitate it in a similar way.
