Aiko sighed.
Leaving aside the differences between healing practitioners.
Nalia is a swordsman, so it's understandable that she's all about charging forward.
But I'm a fragile mage, and I'm not even safe standing in the back, so how could I possibly charge in?
Seeing Lia's radiant expression, Aiko knew that she wouldn't listen to any advice.
Anyway, she didn't plan to stay in Xueyan for long, and how things developed in the future was none of her business.
He watched with the mindset of a bystander, observing how Leah would do her somersaults.
"But speaking of which, why is it necessary to reach level 15 in three months?"
"Ike asked, puzzled."
Four months, five months, is that not enough?
Could it be that that day held some special significance for Leah?
"You haven't seen this yet, have you? Look, it was just delivered by the Adventurers' Guild."
Leah excitedly handed a flyer to Eko.
I don't know what it was that was on there, but it actually helped Leah recover from her disappointment.
Aiko curiously took the flyer. The background was a tall, lush World Tree, and in the upper right corner was a small World Tree totem.
Her expression immediately changed, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "An announcement from the World Tree Divine Court?"
The World Tree Divine Court is the most mysterious and powerful force in the entire Secret Realm Continent!
All members are personally appointed by the goddess and are the most loyal believers, usually appearing only briefly and rarely seen.
The last time it appeared in the world's sight was a thousand years ago.
Upon appearing, it delivered the divine decree of the World Tree Goddess: 'The seal of the Demon Realm is about to break. To encourage adventurers to move forward, the rewards within the World Tree's Secret Realm will be increased.'
It can be said that either the World Tree Divine Court will not appear, or it will bring earth-shattering news that will shake the entire continent.
Seeing Eko's increasingly serious expression, Lia puffed out her chest confidently: "This time, the World Tree Divine Court is also bringing the Goddess's Oracle! Three months later, 100,000 Hero Stones will descend upon the World Tree Secret Realm. The higher the level, the greater the chance of obtaining a Hero Stone!"
"The adventurer who obtains this stone will become a hero, and under the leadership of the chosen hero of the divine realm, together they will save the world and defeat the Demon King!"
"This is the real adventure! Fighting for the common people, acquiring powerful equipment, and earning everyone's respect—even the nobles have to treat us with deference!"
Leah stood up excitedly, grabbed the greatsword Flame Devourer that was standing next to the sofa, and swung it around the hall.
The crimson fire-type battle aura, like a streak of light, surrounded the girl, making her look exceptionally cool.
To put it simply, he was so happy that he started wildly swinging his weapon around.
Leah placed the greatsword upright in front of the sofa again, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smiled.
"One hundred thousand Hero Stones! Although these heroes seem a bit weaker than the Chosen Heroes, their sheer number increases our chances of becoming heroes. Me, you, Kaine, and the others—we all have to become heroes! We have to become a Hero Team together!"
"I don't think it's that simple."
In contrast to Leah's overflowing confidence, Eko felt a sense of unease.
She put down the flyer, deep in thought, and said, "The Hero's Stone, is it really that easy to get? What if the Hero's Stone exists in a public Mythic+ dungeon, and two teams happen to find it at the same time..."
Normally, people would try to resolve things peacefully, out of consideration for the adventure teams from the same city.
But with the Stone of Heroes in front of us, can we still hold onto our bottom line?
Lia believes that the Hero's Stone is an opportunity given by the World Tree Goddess.
Eiko, however, did not think so.
This is a brutal game of worms; only the strongest adventurer who survives can obtain the Hero's Stone and gain the right to defeat the Demon King!
According to the flyer, 100,000 Hero Stones will arrive in three months. Every five levels of the Great Mythic Realm is a dividing point, and the higher you go, the higher the chance.
No wonder Leah wanted to reach level 15 within three months; she wanted to increase her chances of obtaining the Hero's Stone.
"Those who become heroes will gain many privileges."
Leah took the flyer back, looked at the small print at the bottom, and said eagerly:
"Even the most ordinary hero can obtain the title of honorary baron and become a distinguished guest of the World Tree Divine Court! The World Tree Divine Court will try its best to fulfill one request made by the hero, depending on the hero's level! That's what it says above, isn't that amazing!"
"What did you say? Fulfill the hero's requests as much as possible?"
Eko's attention was suddenly drawn.
She didn't have any particular ideas about becoming a hero and defeating the demon king.
But after becoming a hero, can one make a request to the World Tree Divine Court?
That's very tempting.
With the power and scale of the World Tree Divine Court, most of the adventurers' wishes can be fulfilled.
Aiko felt as if a cat's paw was scratching at her heart, and she couldn't help but wonder if she could ask the World Tree Divine Court to take a certain adventurer as her personal pet.
Slavery was abolished a thousand years ago, but the pet system still exists; no one stipulates that pets cannot be human.
The hero needs to play with his pet every day to have the strength to fight monsters.
Eiko, who originally had no interest in becoming a hero, suddenly had her eyes light up and instinctively squeezed her legs together.
She imagined Linda kneeling on the ground, wearing brown dog ears, barking ingratiatingly, touching her toes with her tongue, begging for a reward.
"Giggle, giggle giggle..."
A slightly eerie laugh escaped uncontrollably from Aiko's throat.
Leah was startled and looked at her in surprise: "You really want to become a hero?"
"That's not really what I think."
Aiko quickly changed the subject: "And you, if you become the hero, what would you ask the World Tree Divine Court for?"
"I?"
When this was mentioned, Leah's expression suddenly turned cold. She snorted and said, "Is there even a need to ask?"
"Linda, you owe me an apology."
Lia had already planned how she would use the privileges of a hero after becoming one.
The first thing is to make Linda publicly apologize to her.
Rumors have spread that she was an unqualified captain, which is why Linda, who was also a healer, withdrew.
Because of this incident, several businessmen who had partnered with the Snow Goose Adventure Team stopped asking them to endorse their products.
The second one is the blonde woman; if you slap her, you have to retaliate.
Leah looked at the flyer in her hand, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
Once she becomes a hero, Linda will definitely regret leaving the Snow Goose Adventure Team.
No matter what kind of teammates Linda has, she will be countless times better than them.
"I gave you the chance to become a member of a future mythical adventure team, but you didn't cherish it. So don't blame me for being ruthless."
Leah thought to herself.
She seemed to see herself decades later, radiating glory, slaying the demon king with her sword, and being hailed by the masses.
Hidden among the crowd is a down-on-his-luck adventurer.
That adventurer was none other than Linda, filled with remorse!
