A Mistaken Encounter: The Hero of the World

Loki stood up, and was about to reveal the answer to the mystery -

"I just saw that white-haired swordsman in the guild. He upgraded to Lv2 in just one month!"

"real or fake?!"

"Lv2?! Is this Lv2 authentic?"

Loki looked at the adventurer who stole her limelight with dissatisfaction, and a hint of coldness flashed across her narrowed eyes. But soon the joyful banquet made her forget the unhappiness, and she happily drank the wine.

"Ha, hiccup, the wine here at Mia's mom is indeed the best."

"Especially if someone else invited you?" Serven added.

"Hahahahahaha——!" Loki and others laughed.

A green-haired elf girl came over with a glass of wine, bowed her head respectfully to Livilia, and then put the wine down. Her eyes caught sight of the handsome Serven, and her movements paused.

"What's wrong, Serven?" After toasting Serven with a glass of wine, Serven actually refused to follow. The poor honest man Raul asked anxiously.

"Nothing." Serven looked at Liu and smiled, "I have met this sister before."

Is this why you keep goldfish?! Raul cursed in his heart.

Liu's body froze for a moment. She didn't recognize Serven at first, until Serven spoke, and then she vaguely remembered that she had indeed seen Serven on the 18th floor -

I remembered this through Lefiya from Loki's family.

At that time, Serven had a somewhat dirty aura that made her feel very strange. If Lefiya hadn't blinked, she would have thought that her compatriots had been kidnapped by this demon.

But now, the foul smell is basically gone, and the adventurer has transformed into a particularly attractive man as sharp as a sword - it must be because of the adventure he had.

This spirit is worthy of admiration. She praised the adventurer a little in her heart.

Just then, Mia's mother told her not to be lazy. She nodded to Serven, took the opportunity to leave, and continued her busy work.

"I have seen this sister before~" Xier from the kitchen repeated the words, her tone full of sourness.

Liu almost spilled the wine he was holding, and the tips of his ears turned red.

She said seriously, "I met that gentleman on the 18th floor. He was completely different then."

"Yeah, I've seen it too." Xier held her face, stared at Serven's back, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

I've seen him truly shine--

Xier recalled the scene of Serven, whose soul was burning, standing in front of the huge Goliath.

But she noticed Loki who was laughing with his eyes narrowed, and she felt a little depressed and anxious and threw the plate aside heavily.

Looking at the smug Loki, she showed a pitiful and resentful expression of a loser.

Why is it Loki's child? This is very difficult to deal with.

"Xie'er..."

"Oh, sorry, I think I messed up." Xier stuck out her tongue.

As for Serven, he smiled apologetically at Raul and finally drank the wine.

Raul was now in the mood to gossip.

"Serven, when did you meet that waitress?"

"The last time I saw her was last time." Serven gave a cunning smile.

Loki and others were stunned and laughed. Only the obedient Raul was choked by Serven.

Happiness is built on the suffering of others. Raul, who was in a state of distress, made everyone laugh again.

Ais drank juice silently by herself, looking at the crowd from time to time, playing the role of a quiet listener.

"Ais, why don't you drink?" Seeing that Aisi only drank juice, Serven asked curiously.

With just one sentence, all the people in Loki's family changed their expressions, and even the love-loving girl Lefiya became alert.

Aisi pouted in dissatisfaction, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Because after I drink, I can't control myself."

"Is it because of your poor drinking habits?" Serven asked with a joking smile.

However, this straightforward statement directly stimulated Aisi. As if to prove herself, the blonde girl stood up and picked up a glass of wine.

"No!" Loki and others shouted and rushed towards the cup of "nuclear weapon".

Chapter 28 Library

【The House of Dusk】.

The library of the Loki clan's base camp.

Serven pushed open the heavy double doors and looked inside. He saw rows of wooden bookshelves arranged at equal intervals. There were dozens of rows of bookshelves alone.

The bookshelves at the edge were kept at a considerable distance from the walls, and there were wainscoting on the walls. The delicately carved wooden boards were laid along the walls of the library, and were about as high as Serven's waist.

One of the walls has a series of long windows, and against the windows are several tables and dozens of chairs. The tables and chairs have exquisite carvings on them. Light pours in almost unobstructed, creating a bright and comfortable reading area.

At this time, a beautiful lady with long wavy golden hair was already sitting there, basking in the warm sunlight. She raised her head, her long pointed ears moved, and a gentle and kind smile appeared on her face.

"Serwen-kun, welcome."

"Good morning, Alicia." Serven smiled at the elf sister.

"Yeah, good morning. It's rare to see Serven-kun here."

"Yes, this is my first time to come to the clan's library today." Serven answered, looking at the large number of books neatly arranged around him. "As expected of our clan, the amount of books here is quite astonishing."

"Indeed, it is said that there are more than 100,000 books here!"

"Wow, this number is a bit surprising." Serven noticed that there was a sign on each bookshelf indicating the type of book. "Then I won't bother you, Alicia."

"Yeah, but if you need help, you can always ask me for help."

"Ok."

Serven walked through the bookshelves and observed the books on the shelves along the way. The books on the bookshelves looked relatively clean, and it seemed that they were cleaned regularly. Some books were simply clamped with thin wooden boards and bound with ropes, while others were wrapped in exquisite leather. Each book had a small label with the title, category, and a number for statistics.

You can also faintly smell the light scent of book pages.

Serven first came to the historical area and found a book called "Labyrinth City Orario". He stood there and started reading.

The history of the establishment of [Olario] is recorded above——

Simply put, through the continuous efforts of mankind over two full eras, the Age of Heroes and the Age of Gods, mankind built a fortress above the source of the monsters - the big hole in the ground, covered the hole with a lid, and continued to guard it.

This fortress gradually developed into the largest city in the entire continent - Orario.

This is the origin of the labyrinth city of Orario.

Serwen let out a long breath. He was a little anxious. He couldn't calm down when he picked up a book. He would rather let his thoughts wander. He closed his eyes, suppressed his inner restlessness, and picked up a copy of "Eastern Strange Stories" to read.

This book happened to record the content that he was very interested in.

{Why is it that there is no god from an ancient oriental country in the entire [Orario], or even the entire continent?

According to the book, there was a huge country in the east of the continent in ancient times. But after a king named Emperor Xin came to power, he led his human subjects to fight against the gods. In the middle, there was a rebellion in which some humans knelt down and begged the gods for the title of "Son of Heaven". But the result of the war was that all the people in that ancient country, along with all the gods there, and even the land they lived on, disappeared in the end.

Only a tiny Far Eastern island remained, separated from the rest of the continent by an endless ocean.

The heavens were shaken by this. As a result, the west also underwent a dramatic change. The "God of Foresight" stole the "Heavenly Fire" and put it in the lower world. The God of Thunder was furious, and his anger even shook the entire sky. However, humans gained the power to fight against monsters, and the first human city that was not ravaged by monsters was established. }

Serven closed the book, still thinking about the contents in the book. The mysterious Eastern country in the memory of the aliens had disappeared long ago in the long river of history.

He finally stopped feeling anxious and even felt like he wanted to get more. He looked at the bookshelf behind him, where another type of books was neatly displayed - works by bards.

He randomly selected a few books, walked to the table next to the window, sat down quietly without making any noise, opened the book and started reading.

The first book records a collection of hymns written by a bard to a hero.

{“He is a hero,

To protect the family and the country, and to protect women and children from being humiliated,

He fought hard with the enemy and died under the city.

Died in front of the eyes of loved ones.

The woman desperately grasped her husband, crying miserably,

Regardless of the enemy's gun tip pushing her shoulder,

Ask her to stand up and follow them.

Toil as their slaves."}

Serven frowned, this kind of poetry was not to his liking. He put the book aside and changed it twice before finally finding a story book.

This is a drama. It tells the story of an old king who abdicated and was driven to the wilderness by his eldest and second daughters. The third daughter married to a neighboring country and became the queen of that country. She led an army to save her father, but was killed. The king finally died sadly beside his daughters.

Alicia raised her eyes from the book and looked at Serven who was reading not far away.

He was quietly reading a book on the table, his eyes moving between the lines of the book. The sun was pouring down, and tiny dust particles were dancing around Serven in the light, carving out light and dark contours on his face. But Serven seemed to be completely unaware of the rising temperature, and even time seemed to bypass him, leaving only the occasional sound of pages turning.

Alicia was stunned for a moment. Serven no longer had that annoying temperament. Now that he was reading, he had an inexplicable extraordinary charm. This kind of elegant temperament, Alicia imagined Serven wearing a pair of glasses.

Elegant! Perfect!

No, it's perfect right now. If I add some decorations, it will be more than perfect.

She took a deep breath, exhaled the chaotic thoughts in her heart, her heartbeat was beating uncontrollably fast. She moved to a seat in the shade and continued reading.

Serven spent the whole day in the library.

In the evening, when Alicia put the book back and was about to leave, she interrupted Serven, who was writing quickly on the paper.

"Sewen-kun..." After calling him several times, Sewen finally raised his head from the paper in front of him.

"Oh, Alicia, you're still here." Serven looked up and smiled at her, "I just happen to have a story here, do you want to read it?"

Alicia hesitated for a moment and said, "It's dinner time now. Let's go eat first. I'll watch it after dinner."

Serven nodded, put the book back in the distance, and went to the restaurant with Alicia.

"Serven, what are you holding in your hand?" Livilia asked casually.

"Oh, a story. Do you want to read it, Riveria?"

"Well, if it's okay..."

Serven nodded. He had wanted to show it to Ai Si, but it wouldn't make any difference even if Livilia saw it.

{Linglong}: 70321622o

Livilia unfolded the page and began to read—

The Nightingale and the Rose

{"She said she would dance with me if I gave her some red roses," cried a young student, "but there is not a single red rose in my garden."...}

{The rose fell into the gutter, and a carriage ran over it... Then the young man returned to his room, took out the big dusty book, and began to read.}

Livilia held the paper in her arms. This beautifully worded, romantic and ironic fairy tale made her feel lost. After a long while, she looked at Serven with her beautiful eyes.

"Did you write this, Serven?"

"Yes, Lady Livilia. Lord Serven wrote it this afternoon." Alicia respected her royal princess very much. She answered Livilia's question without waiting for Serven to speak. "This story..."

"Serven, I have to say, you are really talented in writing." Livilia looked at Serven in admiration, her beautiful eyes full of appreciation.

Livilia felt that the already handsome Serven had become even more charming. Next to the great figure who had surpassed his limits and defeated the floor master Goliath, there was also a vague figure of a writer writing with a pen engraved in her mind.

"This is a particularly sad and beautiful story. Serven, you really have a talent as a writer. I really like this story."

Alicia looked at Serven beside her in surprise. She had never expected that his story would receive such high praise. She was tempted to read it, but Aisi beside Livilia could no longer resist her curiosity and took the page in her hand.

The puppet princess, who rarely showed any expression, actually showed obvious sadness. "It's a sad story... very good."

She even wiped her wet eyes with her fingers.

Loki came over nonchalantly, "Who made our baby Ai Si cry?"

Her expression suddenly changed, "Serven! Is it you!?"

"No, Loki, it's just that Serven's story is very well written." Livilia spoke up.

"Oh?!" Not only Loki, but other members of the clan also became interested.
