"Today, I have come here to welcome the new hero born in this village."

Freya's words drew another round of cheers from the crowd. The villagers looked at each other, then began to discuss in unison who the hero was, the crowd chattering incessantly.

Keyar observed from the back of the crowd, focusing his power on his eyes. The emerald green, glowing [Elf Eye] focused its gaze on Freya, revealing all her status values.

Quite astonishing strength, especially its magical attacks are exceptionally outstanding.

In terms of special skills, she also possesses a combination of magician and hero abilities. Originally, she could only use attribute magic of two attributes at most, but she can use all attributes and even high-level magic.

Kyal's magical power is currently insufficient to use [Change Evil]. If he were to attack Freya now, Freya wouldn't need to use magic at all; she could easily kill Kyal with just physical attacks.

I still need to be patient for now... Once I reach the capital, I can use [Plunder] to gain experience and level up.

With that thought, Kyal focused his mind even more. "Let me see how good your talent is, Freya."

Level cap: ∞

Talent Values:

MP: 150

Physical attack: 70

Physical defense: 40

Magic Attack: 140

Magic Resistance: 100

Speed: 80

Total talent points: 580

Besides the common level cap of ∞ for heroes, the total talent value is as high as 580, which is 20 higher than the total talent value of Kayal. It is no wonder that he is a descendant of the royal family who constantly absorbs the bloodline of heroes.

It is particularly noteworthy that the talent value for magic attack is 140, which is probably the highest among humans.

After gathering the necessary information, Kayal deactivated the [Elf Eye], and the color of his pupils returned to their original brownish-red. His eyes met those of Freya, who was scanning the crowd and suddenly looked at Kayal.

"You, the boy at the back of the crowd, must be my companion. Please come over here."

Freya spoke in the direction of Kyal, her tone completely confident. The villagers standing between Kyal and Freya parted to make way for them, all looking at Kyal.

With a surprised expression, Kyal pointed at himself incredulously and asked in a tone that was both surprised and excited, "I am a hero?"

"That's right, please come over."

Freya responded with a smile and extended her hand to Kyal, inviting him to come over.

Kyal walked along this path, step by step, toward Freya.

Freya moved closer to Kyal and took his right hand in hers. The geometric patterns on their hero marks were now shimmering with a pale blue light.

Freya's Hero Mark is somewhat special. As a hero of [Art], her mark can sense the location of other heroes. It is because of this ability that she was able to find Kayal.

"The mark imprinted on this right hand is proof of a hero. I have come to welcome you. Let us work together to save this world from the Demon King."

The villagers were overjoyed and cheered again, for the hero had appeared in their village.

This alone is already an extremely high honor, and it even comes with the practical benefit of receiving subsidies from the state.

"Really? I really am a hero?"

Kyal still looked somewhat incredulous.

"It's understandable that you have such doubts. However, it is true. Without further ado, please come with me to the capital immediately. As a hero, there are still many things waiting for you to learn."

Freya found it somewhat amusing to see Kyal's incredulous expression. For such a country boy to become one of only ten heroes in the world was truly an incredible stroke of luck for him, so his reaction was understandable.

"Okay...can I go home and pack my things first?"

This fits the character of Kyal, a poor boy from the countryside who is used to being poor and always carries his valuables with him when he goes out.

"No need. Once we arrive in the capital, whatever you need, we will prepare it for you."

Freya was somewhat displeased; she didn't want to linger too long in this poor place, but she didn't show it directly on her face, still wearing a friendly smile.

"May I say goodbye to everyone? It won't take long."

"Kayal asked cautiously."

"Go."

Freya smiled and nodded; she could wait that long.

When he returned to the crowd and said goodbye, no one tried to stop him; instead, they all offered him their congratulations and blessings.

Although Anna and her husband were a little reluctant to let him go, it was Kayal's childhood dream to become a hero, so there was no need to stop him. They also offered their congratulations.
