Wrong, my skills refresh every week

Sitting on the stone outside the tent, Finn asked about Liu who was waiting for the treatment results.

"Your appearance on the surface means that the battle underground is over. What is the result?"

Liu was stunned for a moment, and briefly described the battle situation:

"…The greatest evil has been defeated, and Alfia is seriously ill, but she was rescued by Joker in the end, so I didn't get to see her end."

Finn breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. If he could force Alfia to that point, even if he didn't kill her, she wouldn't be alive for long. But that joker..."

"Can you use all the magic you've seen? A second Alfia... What a tough enemy. After this, it's time to grow to level 5."

Finn coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood foam, upset.

Forcefully suppressing his injuries, Finn looked up and asked, "So, what's the situation on the ground?"

"The ground is not..." Liu showed a strange expression: "The battle on the ground is over, and the dark faction was defeated."

"Really? That's great." Finn breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time...

"Captain!" Raul ran over breathlessly, "I heard you were injured. Is it serious?"

"Ahem, it's okay..." Finn chuckled, "Laur, you did a good job this time. It looks like nothing went wrong."

Raul grumbled in his heart.

Can it be good?

The enemy general led the main force to attack directly, and used the high temperature heat from the explosives and artificial rainfall to hinder the enemy's self-destruction.

The most important thing is that you persuaded the enemy's ace to play along with you. Wasn't all this within your calculations?

I am just a decoration, at best I am just delivering orders.

On the surface, Raul nodded respectfully:

"Thanks to the captain's heroic figure, he led the adventurers to defeat the red dragon. Otherwise, our casualties would have been incalculable. At least at that time, Senior Noyal and the others had already decided to sacrifice themselves."

"Oh..." Finn nodded, then froze for a moment, blinked, and suddenly looked up at Raul:

"What red dragon? What led the adventurers to counterattack?"

Raul was also confused: "Captain? Are you confused by the Red Dragon's bombardment?"

How come after planning the whole thing and reaping all the fame and fortune, you're still shy?

Finn rubbed his brow. He suddenly felt his thumb hurt again. "No...wait. Raul...tell me the story from the beginning. Wasn't I fighting against Chardo with Freya's family?"

Raoul thought Finn wanted to hear someone brag about his achievements again, so he exaggerated:

"You persuaded... oh no, you helped the mechanism to escape from the city of Chardor, and took advantage of the intelligence gap and united with the "heretics" to successfully launch a heroic counterattack. Everyone knows that you were wearing the armor of the Fenjana Knight, holding the flag high, and galloping on the battlefield."

"Now, the whole of Orario is talking about the 'Hero's Resurrection'. There are already many adventurers from Palum who want to join your army, Captain Finn, and become a member of the 'Feniana Knights'."

After listening to Raul's narration.

Finn was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"No..., I..."

I was clearly seriously injured in that battle, so how did I suddenly become Fenjana and lead the city to successfully resist?

He was about to explain what happened, but when he opened his mouth, the words of defense got stuck in his throat.

What was he going to say?

The person waving the Finyana flag is not me?

Let the Palum clan, who had finally mustered up the courage and hope for revival, fall again?

Or should I just admit it and let the dark forces behind it laugh?

This is a damn conspiracy!

Finn bit his painful thumb hard, and at this moment...

"Finn—you fucking bastard!" An angry roar came from the other side of the street.

Alan, with one foot wrapped in heavy gauze and a crutch, ran over angrily.

He grabbed Finn by the collar and pulled him off the ground:

"You despicable Palum, you actually faked your own death, leaving us to deal with that monster, and go off to make a name for yourself?!!"

"You bastard, you said you wanted to put aside your past grudges and cooperate with each other, but you couldn't even last fifty rounds and ran away!!!"

On the other side, Hedin, with his arm in a sling, came over in a panic: "Sure enough, the Loki family can't be trusted at all!"

"..." Finn narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, the real purpose was revealed.

Is this the situation you are willing to create even at the cost of helping us?

What a sinister plan!

Finn saw through the enemy's plan in an instant.

He uses a large number of cannon fodder and monsters as sacrifices to forcibly create a personality that is unscrupulous and only pursues fame and fortune.

Judging from the information obtained from [Gas], the dark faction should have known that [Silence] and [Gluttony] would "lose" a long time ago, so they are paving the way for the future.

Then, the best outcome would be to intensify the conflict between Loki's family and Freya's family and let us kill each other!

The core of this plan is himself as the leader. But the other party has grasped Finn's Achilles' heel!

Finn admitted that the other party did a better job than himself in revitalizing the dwarf race!

Although he has always been a "hero" admired by the dwarfs, he has never led his people to charge into battle. Instead, he has been more of a commander, hiding in the rear and making decisions.

In this way, my compatriots will only look up to me more and more, and admiration is the furthest distance. Let all my compatriots feel that the [brave man] is special.

'Damn, I learned a good lesson!'

"This tactic doesn't seem like Valetta's arm. When did the Dark Faction produce such an unfathomable conspirator?"

Complex thoughts echoed in Finn's mind.

Alan, furious, pulled Finn in and looked directly into Palum's eyes with his forehead pressed against his chest. "What? Speak! Don't you have any excuse for your actions?"

Finn raised his eyes and looked at the frantic cat man: "If I say I didn't do it, will you believe me?"

"Only a fool would believe that! Do you still want to fool us?"

Finn spread his hands: "What's there to explain? I did it!"

"Fuck you!" Alan threw Finn to the ground with force, and the serious injury made him cough up a large mouthful of blood again.

Hedin looked at Finn's miserable condition and frowned secretly. He recalled the process of the battle and the information from the eyewitnesses.

He was keenly aware of the tricks involved.

"Finn, who is the chestnut-haired knight who took you away? Is he the ghost of Finyana?"

Finn was stunned for a second, then smiled bitterly: "Who knows... maybe it's the blessing of my goddess."

Chapter 236: Captain, stop it.

Seeing that Finn was unmoved and seemed determined to deny the achievement, Hedin realized that the truth was no longer important.

Finn's title of "Brave Man" was given to him by force of the Lord God. As an "artificial hero", all his past honors were calculated.

Hedin and his mortal enemies knew very well the nature of this despicable Palum.

Anything can be used, and anything can be discarded.

They looked at Finn coldly, said "take care of yourself" and turned away.

Alan spat disdainfully and limped away.

Before leaving, he only left one sentence: "Next time we meet, we will be enemies! I will kill you without mercy!"

……

"Captain... are you okay?" Raul helped Finn up and said in an admiring tone:

"As expected of you, Captain. Everything is within your calculations."

Finn shook his head and smiled helplessly.

After weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to accept the enemy's "good intentions" and swallow the bitter fruit of being hostile to Freya's family.

In his eyes, the [hero] can die, but Palum’s courage cannot disappear!

Deception, using a disguised glorious image to deceive the world and the gods, this is the journey of [artificial hero] Finn!

Finn patted his junior who was showing admiration on his face and sighed, "Sorry, Raul, don't learn from me. Be a good person."

The momentary display of true feelings almost broke Raul's defense.

At the beginning, he really respected and admired Finn, just like facing his father, with a very special status. Because of this, after learning the truth, he was once broken, but still hoped that all this was false.

Now, however, Finn himself admitted it.

"Captain...how about that, let's stop it." Raul mustered up his courage and tried to wake up the captain he admired, asking him to stop colluding with Loki.

Finn was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "You can see that too, but there is nothing I can do. He offers too much. I can't refuse."

"Captain..." Raul collapsed, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

In his hand he held an intelligence sheet that counted the death toll in Orario. He clearly remembered that there were more than 10,000 names of the dead engraved on the paper.

In this man-made disaster, more than 10,000 lives became victims of the "brave man".

Why are you still not satisfied after all this... Captain, no! Finn!

……

Return to the clan’s residence.

After confirming that the war was over, the command center was dismantled, and each clan launched their own rescue and cleanup of the battlefield.

Finn found Loki on the high tower of the Twilight Pavilion and described the story of the night in detail.

"Hmm...are you going to fight with Freya's family again? I thought you could get along well after this time."

"I'm sorry, but I just can't refuse the offer." Finn felt powerless.

"Well, we agreed at the beginning that I would help you fulfill your wish of "reviving the clan" and use each other. Now there is nothing we can say." Loki scratched his hair.

"But, is the enemy's goal really that simple? You already had a tense relationship with Freya's children. Now it's just back to square one."

"Of course it's not that simple. Don't forget that there are still a large number of scattered adventurers who are not from our clan, operating under the name of our clan!" Finn looked up at the moonlight and reminded:

"The enemy knows us very well and is even certain that I will not refuse, even..."

Finn came to a surprising conclusion from the adventurers' fragmentary intelligence...

They really have fellow warriors who are as talented as Finjana! They even do better than him!

If I could join the city, then...

The feeling of being happy for the rise of the clan, yet sad because we are enemies, is beyond words.

Thousands of words finally come down to one sentence:

"Loki, you are the one that needs attention. This enemy... is not easy to deal with."

"Oh..., what a bother."

"Don't worry, whether it's a clan or a family, I will revive it for you to see. Loki!" Finn promised.

……

Artificial labyrinth, Knossos.

In a luxurious conference hall that can accommodate hundreds of people.

The scattered clans and gods gathered here.

Valletta, who had already made preparations and quickly recovered the remaining soldiers, once again gained the trust of a group of people.

Olivas on the ground and Witt underground were both leaning against the wall of the maze in a mess.
