The brave appears in the Dusk Forest!
When this news was revealed by "an unknown person" who "inadvertently" revealed the information about the appearance of the Hero, the entire Silver City and Victoria City-State were immediately thrown into shock.
Someone challenges the brave!
When this news was "definitely followed by someone other than a person" who "definitely inadvertently" revealed the information about the hero being challenged.
Everyone couldn't stand it any longer.
I'm so happy, some people are really looking for death.
In Victoria's tavern, the bustling mercenaries gathered together and began to discuss the intelligence that had been circulated not long ago.
"That family? Is it so big?"
Wearing shorts, holding a heavy iron-encrusted staff, and carrying a machete at his waist, the mage (who was suspicious) took a sip of ale into the cup, burped full of flavor, and curiously asked others: "What are they trying to do?"
"Didn't you read the challenge displayed by the Just Church?" The bartender wiped the glass, raised his head and asked a little strangely. Then he took out a piece of paper from under the bar and threw it to the mercenary, and said in a complaining tone: "Copies of that challenge are all over the street now. Not long ago, I didn't know that that bastard posted two stickers on the door of the pub. Zhang, I’m so annoyed.”
Several people gathered in front of the leaflet. The three-year compulsory education popularized by the meritorious emperor more than a hundred years ago allowed these adventurers to recognize many words, and the language of this leaflet was outrageously simple. There were no messy greetings, no raising of heads, and no all kinds of red tape to "encourage", which made this group of big bosses happy.
"I'm stupid."
After reading it, the soldier simply expressed his thoughts. He looked up at other people's expressions and found that they all had similar expressions, and they all had the exclusive expression of a fun-loving person.
"Can you think of such a stupid reason?"
The mage smiled disdainfully, pointed at the challenge letter and said: "If you don't want to make progress, you will pay the seven deadly sins. A brave man should not worry about other things except disasters. Doesn't this person understand the value of the word brave at all? "
"That's right." A soldier nodded and agreed: "Does he think that brave men don't eat? Weapon repairs, supply purchases, and equipment upgrades are free of charge? It doesn't hurt to just stand and talk. What are these nobles thinking? Half maggots, half grain.”
"The whole so-called challenge to the title of hero "in order to safeguard the glory of the hero" is insane. Isn't it just to fight for fame and gain and want to be a hero? Isn't it crazy?"
The crowd began to talk, and of course, almost all of them sneered at the challenge of the Laoshizi family. After all, the existence of these two words, brave, is pure gold. The first three brave men have proven that their qualifications are not to say that they are celestial beings, but at least they are unparalleled in the world. They are the kind of people who have to reach the bronze Dzogchen realm just after practicing. If they don't upgrade to silver for three years, they are considered modest for two and a half years. If they don't become gold for five years, it can't be justified.
Someone once said that there are one hundred qualifications in the world. The brave man has one hundred and two, and the others owe twenty. This is the power of the word brave.
But now, a not-so-famous family dared to issue a challenge to challenge such a powerful person. And the reason turned out to be that the brave men did not do their job properly and went to open a gathering point to be contaminated by the smell of copper?
That’s called being close to the people! It’s called having fun with the people!
"By the way, which family doesn't have eyes and hair to challenge?"
At this time, a person asked a crucial question. The muscular mage heard this and looked down, finding the family crest engraved at the end.
"Hode...family?"
When the mage read out these four words with some confusion, the thief who had been drinking silently at the side suddenly froze for a moment, unconsciously let go of his hand, and the wine glass fell to the table with a crisp sound.
"What's wrong? Do you know him?"
The bartender took the pirated glass without any care, wiped it casually and put it aside. Then he asked the thief curiously.
"Forehead…"
The thief with bottles and cans hanging on his waist scratched his head, a strange expression appeared on his face. He looked at the crowd and said to them with a somewhat funny expression:
"I really know him."
"Actually...if this family issued a letter of challenge...those seemingly ridiculous reasons, it seems possible that people from this family think so from the bottom of their hearts."
"ah?????????"
The first thing we need to realize is that there are only three countries in the continent where Zhou Li is located.
Among these three countries, the most important one is the "Magnum Kingdom" with Silver City as the main city and the Justice Church as the state religion. This country was once a colony of a powerful country in the Southern Continent, living on slave trade and cultivation of magical plants. Later, because the two continents were too far apart, and the countries in the southern continent often imposed heavy taxes and oppression, the people in the colony came together to discuss it, directly went against their mother's will, and established their own country, named Magnum.
Why is he important?
The main reason is that the king of this country hides a void wormhole, a divine plague insect, and a stronghold of a future demon king in his home. It's like all the disasters in the world are raising their poisons there. Therefore, the country's capital is a big target for Zhou Li in the future.
The secondary reason is that the Hede family is one of the "three creative families" in this country.
Of course, due to various reasons, the Hede family, which once jointly expelled the Southern Continent Army with the other two families, has lost its former glory, and few people now know about the existence of this family. The Sanchuang family has long since become a "double powerful" bond, and the Hede family has also lost its seat in the parliament.
And those who know the inside story are very sorry to see the decline of this family. Because the reason for the decline of the Hede family is exactly the same as the reason why they were once strong.
knightship.
"The acting leader of this generation, their eldest son, is named Tang, whose full name is Don Quixote. The family's training method is called "Knight Glory". This training method is similar to that of the Warrior Union. It exercises the body and body. Use the "qi" in your body to fight. But unlike the Warriors Union, the Hede family practices very quickly, incredibly fast, but there is a very fatal condition for their practice."
After giving it a try and coughing twice, under the gaze of everyone, the thief said slowly:
"They must observe the virtues of chivalry."
"That is, the eight virtues of humility, honesty, compassion, heroism, justice, sacrifice, honor, and soul."
"The more they abide by these virtues, the faster they practice, and their strength increases beyond that of ordinary people."
The thief took the cup handed by the bartender and looked at the turbid ale in the cup. What reflected in his eyes was the stubborn knight who bravely caught himself committing the crime of theft and risked his life to protect him on the way.
"However, once they violate these virtues, all the power they have cultivated will be in vain."
