Even before he was chosen to become a hero, the Sword Hero Anyi Karl possessed the ability to kill large monsters!
He was just a swordsman guarding the village; he wasn't an ordinary person who had been specially trained to kill demons!
Does this mean that those chosen as heroes are born with the talent to hunt demons?
No wonder he was chosen by the gods to be the "Sword Hero"!
Well deserved!
3 "Cooper Vic, a follower of Aldrich, pays his respects to the Hero!"
The envoy, Mio, straightened his robes, knelt on one knee before An'i, and bowed his head.
"Please, Sword Hero, travel to our holy capital and pay homage to Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"
The villagers looked at each other, completely bewildered as to what had happened.
Become a hero? Head to the Holy City? Meet the Saintess?
Q But they soon understood.
U is definitely receiving such attention because An Yi performed so well that news of her spread to that so-called theocracy overnight!
N An Yi looked at the kneeling envoy of the Holy Kingdom, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
If this happened in my past life, I guess a messenger would have come to invite me, right?
Unfortunately, in his previous life, he had just awakened the system when he ran into the mountains where demons roamed and frantically searched for them.
He couldn't be found in the destroyed village, nor in the town.
Actually, he was invited to join the team later, but he still chose to be a lone wolf, not wanting any friendship to interfere with his revenge.
In this life, he will still choose revenge.
Teaming up is not out of the question, but...
Before that, he wanted to test the waters with the high-ranking officials of the Church.
"Go to the Holy Capital of the Church?"
I refuse.”
"Huh?" The envoy was taken aback.
"As you can see, my hometown has been destroyed."
"Rather than becoming some kind of hero, helping everyone repair their houses is what I should be doing right now," An Yi said calmly.
The villagers looked on with gratitude and emotion.
An Yi really... I'm crying my eyes out!
In their eyes, it was as if An Yi had found a lucrative job, but gave it up for everyone and instead helped them repair these dilapidated houses.
How could they not be moved?!
"Then, please leave the village repair work to us!" the envoy said loudly, raising his head.
Okay, I've taken the bait.
An Yi nodded to herself.
Chapter 14 1v1! A battle of real men!
"Your Highness, we have already made contact with the nearest Sword Hero."
In the main hall, the believers reported to Saint Lycorina, who was seated on the throne.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Lycorina nodded, then asked, "What kind of person is the other party?"
"I heard that last night, before he was chosen as the hero, he single-handedly killed the big goblin," the cultist said.
"Big brother... Brin?" Lycorina asked, puzzled.
For the past sixteen years, she has spent most of her time not talking to outsiders and knows nothing about the outside world.
After all, her mission was simply to communicate with the gods. If she hadn't become a hero, she wouldn't even have needed to talk to people in person.
Of course, it was her own wish to have a conversation with someone in person, because she would soon become a leader in the fight against the demons, and it was time for her to step out of her identity as a saintess.
"Your Highness, the correct pronunciation is 'Big Goblin'."
Goblins are small, low-level demons, while large goblins are goblins that are much larger.
"The Giant Goblin is a large monster, three meters tall, capable of destroying houses with a single stroke. It can devour people, and even dozens of level-one demon hunters would be wiped out in its presence," the cultist explained.
"And the Sword Hero, before being chosen by the gods, was able to kill them all by himself..."
He sounds like a powerful individual whose strength is worthy of the approval of the High God.
Lycorina nodded slightly, her slightly childish voice carrying a hint of appreciation.
"Anything else?" she continued to ask.
"Sword Hero..."
The believer hesitated for a moment before shifting his gaze, but continued speaking.
"The Sword Hero has declined our invitation."
He said that he needs to repair the houses in the village more than being a hero.
He also said that he almost lost his family when the village was invaded by demons.
So I want to use this power to protect my family and stay by their side.
After listening, Lycorina nodded after a moment: "Very good, it seems that he is a person whose strength and spirit are worthy of the title of hero."
Although she hadn't met An Yi yet, she already had a pretty good impression of him based on the descriptions given by the believers.
Moreover, through these words, she also realized something.
“Your Holiness.” Lycorina turned her beautiful eyes to the Pope beside her.
"Yes, Your Highness. What are your orders?"
The usually dignified Pope behaved with utmost respect before the saintess, who was also humanity's first hero.
"According to God's will, countless more heroes will be born on this land."
既然他们9要讨伐魔4族，家族中8的人就有2可能受到4魔族的3报复和3侵害。0{№5$。
"Should we protect their families before asking them to save the world?" Lycorina asked the Pope solemnly.
The Pope pondered for a moment, then nodded decisively.
“Your Highness is right. I will go and arrange for the protection of the Hero’s family right now.”
……
The next day, early in the morning, the envoys of the Aldrich Theocracy arrived at the An'i family.
This time, not only were there more people, but they even brought an exquisite carriage, saying they would take Asel's family to live in a big city in the Papacy.
An Yi readily agreed, because this was exactly the outcome he wanted.
Yesterday, he deliberately said he wanted to help the village repair houses, which was a subtle hint to the higher-ups of the Church that they should send people to protect the village and his family.
He wasn't thinking of getting something for nothing or taking advantage of others; rather, it was a test of the high-ranking officials of the Church.
In his past life, he was a complete loner, only participating in missions that required multiple people to team up.
He rarely interacted with others and had only a superficial understanding of the Aldrich Theocracy.
If they truly wanted to benefit humanity, they should have realized that the hero's homeland needed protection.
Conversely, if they didn't have those kinds of thoughts, An Yi wouldn't have entrusted her family to their protection.
In any case, the result for all 8 is leaving the village and moving to a less risky city; there's no difference. (Four > 〃 &)
The matter with the Holy Kingdom has been settled, but...
Convincing Asel is the real challenge.
"What?! Moving?! Moving to a big city?!"
"I won't do it! If I leave, who will protect this village?" Asel disagreed a thousand times.
"My church has sent its most elite warriors to protect the village," the messenger declared confidently.
"Since you've already sent soldiers, why are you making us move? Can't you protect us?" Asel crossed his arms, looking unwilling.
"This...this is to further ensure everyone's safety, so we hope you can move to a city where demons don't appear," the envoy said with a smile.
"No! This is my home! I was born and I will stay here until I die, I'm not going anywhere else!" Asel stubbornly refused.
Elsa didn't say anything, but she looked at Asel with support.
Annie was a bit conflicted; in fact, she did want to move to a big city.
Perhaps because she had experienced despair in the forest and then encountered the demons attacking the village again, her sense of security in the village had dropped to the lowest point.
The only person who could give her a sense of security was An Yi, who saved her from two disasters.
If Annie stays at home, then she will stay too.
Koan said he might be away from home for a while and wouldn't be back for a long time.
After he said that, how could Annie possibly stay in the village with peace of mind?
If I went to a big city, it would definitely be more peaceful than staying in the village, right? 〕'露9嶺♂！ ↑℃坽sousuo: More complete, please?
She and An Yi both supported the idea of having their parents move there as well.
At that moment, An Yi suddenly spoke up.
"Please wait outside for a moment, okay?"
"Let's have a good talk as a family," he said to the messenger.
The envoy was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Alright."
After saying that, he left the room.
As soon as the other person left, Asel couldn't help but ask, "Anyi, what are you thinking?"
Although the village is in danger now, a man has to take responsibility!
