Chapter 723: Hero
Project Heroes.
This was a resolution five years ago, proposed by the most famous sages among the human race, endorsed by the three legendary arch'mages, and finally voted in favor of Guò by more than eighty percent of the Human Alliance's council.
The perennial war has made the spiritual beliefs of mankind empty, and the current pure white church has not yet grown to the point where it can fill the emptiness of the spiritual beliefs of all mankind -- not to mention that in war, it is obvious that heroes who are generous and brilliant in war, and who are piled up by real feats, can become people's spiritual pillars more than the invisible and intangible divine light.
Stein City, also known as the 'City of Nights', is a magnificent city built overnight by the collaboration of several great human magicians.
The city looks like an extremely gigantic castle from the outside. There are also many trees and vegetation growing on the walls of the castle, but most of the structures are made of hard marble and granite, which ensures the strength of the castle.
This was built to be able to confront the gathering place of the demons on the other side of the plain, and there is no one of the current base camps of the human alliance.
"Yo, the youngest new hero~"
Some flirtatious voices rang out on the elevated road leading to Stein City.
This rock-brick road leads to the gates of Stein, and if Stein is attacked, it will immediately collapse the road, turning it into an easily defended Iron Bucket Mountain City.
The speaker was a man who looked to be no more than twenty years old, dressed in a khaki warrior outfit similar to that of many human volunteers. He was covered in simple half-body leather armor and had a sophisticated magic sword hanging from his waist.
Although he looks a little sour from the outside, he actually has a lot of magic products on him. There are many high-level alchemists in Stein City, and the price of magic guides in it is not very high, and even he can afford to buy a lot.
However, compared to wearing bells and whistles, it has become an obvious target in the army, and it is obvious that this inconspicuous dress can now improve the safety rate.
He was followed by a young girl with beautiful maroon wavy hair wearing an aqua blue dress with thigh-high slits on both sides of the skirt, which liberated the girl's mobility. so that they will not be exposed to unnecessary danger in battle due to the difficulty of movement. In addition, the shimmering staff in the girl's hand also reveals the girl's identity - she is a magician. And judging by the glittering badge on the neckline of her long skirt, her magician level is not low.
A warrior plus a magician, this is the most common squad in Stein.
In fact, the one that had just gotten out of the boy's category. The young man who can be called a man and the beautiful girl are none other than the famous demon hunting team in Stein City. The feats earned are second to none in a miniature squad that can be counted on one hand.
It was even believed that boys could be recognized by the Human Council. Become the youngest hero.
It's a pity that this name was missed by him in the end.
However, the boy was not upset, because the man who received the name had saved the lives of both of them. And from time to time, he will join his own demon hunting team to carry out some more dangerous, but highly meritorious missions.
"It's just a fluke, Westa." He joked about a man about his age, with short gray hair, who was short among his peers, who carried an ordinary-looking sword on his back, and who wore clothes about the same as that of Westa.
If there's one thing that stands out about him, it's his eyes.
It's not that his eyes will turn red and magatama or something, but that there is a black ribbon tied around his eyes.
He's blind.
"You know, what I'm after has never been this kind of false name."
Giraud said lightly.
Six years have carved countless scars on the original innocent boy's body, if it weren't for the arduous special training that Xiwei had given him, and the dragon soul of the ancient dragon Freud nourishing his body all the time, I am afraid he would have died countless times.
Of course, the battle brings not only pain, but also countless experiences and dazzling glory.
It's just that for Giraud, none of that matters.
"Of course I know, you've always wanted to get rid of all the vampires."
Westa nodded in understanding.
"Westa, Mr. Giraud must have something to do here, so let's not bother him."
The magician girl behind Westa gently tugged at the corner of his coat and said softly.
"That's right, Giraud, are you going to Alliance Command now?"
Westa got out of the way and made a gesture of please.
Giraud shook his head, "No, I just came back from there. ”
Westa blinked, an indescribable look of excitement on his face, "Really? And what about your Heroic Treasure? ”
Heroic Treasure, which is a weapon made by the Sage Lord and several great alchemists after the Hero Project was completed, invested their life's work, there are only eighty-eight pieces in total, which are used to give to those who have obtained the title of Hero, which is a symbol of identity.
Giraud removed the black silk from his face, revealing something similar to an eyepatch inside, but on the mask, he also drew an eye that looked a little strange in a very abstract painting style.
"The Eye of Foresight doesn't have a good relationship with me, but it can predict the enemy's movements after a maximum of five seconds, which is better than nothing."
"Doesn't sound flashy......"
The expression on Westa's face fell, but he immediately perked up again: "Now among the eighty-eight hero titles, there are still sixteen byes. It is said that the Abyss Demon side seems to have gathered the main force and intends to fight our coalition with the victory. Before the final battle begins, the command will definitely canonize all the bye hero titles to strengthen the momentum of the human alliance! ”
The expression on his face became more and more brilliant: "In other words, I still have a chance!" But you'll have to work harder! Gianna, let's go to the mansion and hand over this meritorious mission, and then go and kill some wandering demons! ”
"Well, be careful...... Wow, don't go so fast, wait for me......" The girl seemed to try to admonish Westa, but the young man rushed into the city before she could finish speaking, so that she could only bow to Giraud in a hurry, and then chase after him quickly.
"Those two guys are really hilarious...... Never get tired of being around them......"
A slight smile appeared on Giraud's face, and deep in his soul, Amanda seemed to let out a throbbing of approval.
Suddenly, the ear power and perception skills that Giraud had cultivated over the past few years suddenly brought him back to his senses, and he looked into the void with an expression of disbelief on his face.
A figure familiar to him emerged from there.
"Sivi...... Teacher? (To be continued......)
