Chapter 154 Leaving the Land of Swords
"What's going on?"
Shutark looked at the two people standing on it, including Frilian.
"boom!"
As soon as Shutark finished speaking, an even larger monster emerged from behind him and pounced on him, knocking him to the ground.
"It is the mountain lord."
The village chief, standing next to Shi Yichen, addressed the crowd.
"I see. No wonder I didn't know. You're new here, aren't you? You've been acting like a mountain lord since the 1980s."
Frillie flew down to the mountain lord the village chief had mentioned, looking at the monster before her with disdain.
The mountain lord didn't care who was standing in front of it, and raised its hand to grab at Frilian.
"Shutark, you can still move, right?"
Frillie watched calmly as the mountain lord attacked her.
"Oh!"
A single slash severed the mountain lord's arm that was attacking Frilian, and the arm flying in the air vanished into thin air.
"what!!!"
The sudden, heavy blow caused the mountain lord to let out a painful scream.
"Don't treat people like cattle or horses."
Hugh Tarek said angrily to Frilian.
The mountain lord slapped at Frilian again, but just as it was about to touch her, a defensive spell blocked the attack.
It was Philon; Philon used defensive magic to block the mountain lord's attack.
"Well done."
Frillie killed the mountain lord with a casual, ordinary magical attack.
"That completes my duty."
Frillie looked at the completely vanished mountain lord and said calmly.
After killing the mountain lord, Shi Yichen flew down from above carrying the village chief and gently placed him on the ground.
"What's going on here? That's the Sword of the Hero."
Shutark sat at the cave entrance and asked Shi Yichen and Frilian, because he saw the Sword of the Warrior standing inside the cave.
"The monsters gather here because of it. The Holy Land has a powerful barrier to keep the monsters out, but the monsters cannot suppress their urge to destroy it. It seems they are truly afraid of the Hero's Sword."
Frilian spoke to Hughtark with a blank expression, as if she had deliberately ignored the question Hughtark had asked.
"That's not what I was asking..."
Hugh Tarek looked at Frillie speechlessly.
"That's true."
Frilian knew that Shutark wasn't so easy to fool, but Philen was a bit easier to fool.
Frilian turned to look at Shi Yichen and the village chief, and both of them nodded to Frilian.
"Simmel was unable to draw the sword."
Frilian told Philon and Shutark the secret that had been buried for eighty years.
"But everyone else says that it was Simmel who pulled out the Sword of the Warrior."
Shutark looked at Frilian with a puzzled expression.
"It was not Simmel who drew the sword of the hero, but Yichen."
She saw it with her own eyes; she saw Shi Yichen pull out the Hero's Sword and then put it back.
"real or fake."
Shutark looked at Shi Yichen in disbelief. The long-standing story had actually changed so much.
"Lord Shi Yichen has actually drawn the Hero's Sword."
Philon looked at Shi Yichen in shock. These were things she had never heard of before. No wonder Mr. Haita didn't tell her anything; the result was too shocking.
"It's true. Lord Shi Yichen drew the Hero's Sword more than 500 years ago, and he also defeated the Demon King 500 years ago."
At this moment, the village chief also stood up to speak for Shi Yichen. Although Shi Yichen did not release any news of his victory over the Demon King, the Sword Village had a unique sense and knew that Shi Yichen had defeated the Demon King, probably because the Sword of the Hero was here.
(It's all the goddess's fault.)
Philon and Shutark were shocked once again. Not only them, but even Frilian was surprised to learn that Shi Yichen had defeated the Demon King more than 500 years ago.
If the village chief hadn't told her, she really wouldn't have known!
Is she telling the truth?
Frillie looked at Shi Yichen with a scrutinizing expression. She hadn't expected Shi Yichen to do such a dangerous thing outside. If he won, all would be well, but if he lost, she might lose Shi Yichen forever.
"It's true, don't worry. Celia was with me watching back then."
Shi Yichen realized that Frillie was about to get angry, so he quickly went up to comfort her.
"As expected, you two were together all along."
Frillie said jealously that she regretted not going with Shi Yichen. Otherwise, she would have been the woman by Shi Yichen's side, not Celia.
"Selie has gone too far. She even dared to lay a hand on her own grand-disciple. How could she have such a shameless attitude?"
Frillie only dared to say these things in her heart.
"And then what?"
Philon and Shutark looked at Frilian.
"Although Simmel couldn't pull out the Hero's Sword, he still did it. Even without that sword, he successfully saved the world. He is a true hero."
Frilian greatly admired Simmel's feat. A fake hero wielding a fake hero's sword, yet doing the things of a true hero. The moment Simmel killed the Demon King, she became a true hero.
"Then why hide the truth?"
Philon asked in confusion why they hadn't said that from the beginning, but instead chose to keep it a secret for over eighty years.
"It must have been the work of those who wanted to venerate Simmel as a hero. They failed to draw the sword of the hero. A hero doesn't need such an embarrassing story."
Regardless, later generations will inevitably embellish heroes, and in the process of embellishment, even the original prototypes of these figures will gradually disappear.
Frilian explained to Philon and Shutark that people only remember the success of heroes, but they don't know what kind of effort the heroes put in behind the scenes.
Some people believe that the hero was able to defeat the demon king with the hero's sword. They think that if they were to wield the hero's sword, they could also defeat the demon king and become famous throughout the continent.
"Yichen, let's go."
Frilian took Shi Yichen's hand and said.
"Ah."
With his other free hand, Shi Yichen casually took the little village chief's hand and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Philon followed, leaving only Shutark sitting in place, looking at the Warrior's Sword in the cave entrance. Shutark recalled the scene of the destruction of the Warrior's Village.
He stood up again, put the axe on his back, and followed Shi Yichen and the others.
After dealing with the mountain lord, they chose to rest here for one night before preparing to leave.
…………
the next day.
Village entrance.
"I believe Lady Frillian will keep her promise, thank you very much," these were the last words of my grandmother, the village chief two generations ago.
The young village chief stood at the village entrance and spoke to Frillie in the tone of his grandmother.
(As mentioned before, Shi Yichen was sent to Celia by Frillian because he fell into a coma, so he was unaware of what happened afterward.)
