The king is indeed very strong; although he is not a hero, his total talent value is nearly 500.
Moreover, aside from speed, everything else is above average. He is also a magic knight, a privileged class who can use both physical attacks and magic at the same time. He is the standard template for protagonists in early Western fantasy novels who are proficient in both magic and martial arts.
Moreover, its level cap has exceeded 40, which is something that ordinary people simply cannot do; it is a genuine monster.
By the way, the ☆ next to the level is proof that you have reached the level cap.
This can also be confirmed using identification paper.
The royal family would introduce the bloodline of heroes to perpetually create a powerful lineage, which is why this king is so powerful.
Kyal was more concerned about this {human (?)}, who had stopped being human? Good heavens!
This old guy... if I remember correctly, he was one of the villainous bosses later in the original storyline.
Tsk... I read the novel too fast and didn't remember everything. Besides, I only read it once, and a long time has passed.
The consequence of skimming through the novel is that Kyal doesn't remember many of the plot details clearly anymore.
"Well done, new hero, raise your head."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Kayal calmly raised his head. The [Eye of the Elf] was already closed. He seemed to have been thinking a lot just now, but it was only for a moment.
"Hmm, your expression is good. Get up first."
The king wore a solemn and dignified expression, making it impossible to discern his true feelings.
Kyal stood up and looked calmly at the king.
“I’ve heard about you from Freya, Kayal. Your class is a healing mage, isn’t that right?”
“That’s right, just as the princess said. I am an awakened healing mage. Although I can’t provide any combat power, I am willing to use my healing abilities, which have been elevated to a higher level as a hero, to serve the kingdom and share His Majesty’s burdens.”
Kyal's expression was calm and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant. It was hard to believe that he was just a poor boy from the countryside. It was as if he had changed his clothes and his appearance.
"Yes, you're very good."
The king looked at Kyal with some admiration; this young man was very perceptive and a talented individual.
While recovery can be compensated for by other means, what he should be pursuing for the hero is direct combat power, but other recovery abilities also have their limits; severed limbs and organs cannot regenerate.
Hopefully, this hero, a healer, can give him a surprise… Thinking this, the king looked at Kayal and said calmly:
"A hero who can restore the sorcerer, that is the talent our country has been hoping for most. I am very pleased that you have awakened this power. I hereby bestow upon you the title of Healer."
"It is an honor to be called the Hero of Healing from now on. I am Kayal, and I will henceforth call myself the Hero of Healing."
Kyal's lips curled up. He had only used his cunning to make a small change, and the king's attitude was completely different from the original story. So far, his plan had been successful.
"Hero of Healing. Due to the long-standing battle with the demons, several heroes and sages have become unable to continue fighting. Many of their injuries are even beyond the reach of the legendary Holy Elixir. If you were a hero specializing in healing abilities, perhaps you could heal them."
"I will not fail the name of the Healer and His Majesty's expectations. I will do my utmost to restore all heroes and sages to their full health."
Kyal said some nice things.
"Good, very impressive. In a week, the country's strongest Sword Saint will visit the capital. In terms of swordsmanship alone, she even surpasses that famous Sword Hero."
The Sword Saint is a true saint among swords. Unlike the Sword Warriors who rely solely on brute force and status effects, the Sword Saint's swordsmanship is both beautiful and swift, sharp and deadly. In terms of swordsmanship alone, the Sword Warriors are not even worthy of carrying the Sword Saint's shoes.
If we could copy the swordsmanship and skills of the Sword Saint... wow... that would be something to look forward to.
"Regarding that Sword Saint, she lost her right arm while fighting a high-ranking demon a few days ago. I hope you can do everything in your power to heal her. Until then, focus on learning what it means to be a hero. I have prepared the best teachers for you, and I believe your intelligence will not disappoint me."
"I will certainly do my utmost."
The king made this arrangement, and Kyal nodded in agreement.
And so, the audience concluded.
...
After the audience, Kayal and Freya walked down the palace corridor, followed by maids and attendants.
"Kayal, your performance during the audience was truly excellent."
Freya smiled as she looked at Kyal. Kyal had not only been impeccable in his etiquette during the audience, displaying the dignified demeanor of a warrior, but had also given the king ample face.
Freya was naturally happy that her father, the emperor, had gained prestige.
"Haha... I don't really know why, I just suddenly figured out how to handle these things better."
Kyal chuckled awkwardly, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Doesn't that mean Kyal is very smart?"
Freya smiled and continued, "I have a younger sister who is also very smart, but unfortunately she's not in the capital right now. Otherwise, I would definitely introduce you two. You're both so smart, you might get along very well."
It was noticeable that she looked a little uncomfortable when she mentioned her sister.
Kayal knew who she was talking about: Princess Norren, Princess Freya's younger sister. Because her awakened class was not suitable for combat and she had no talent in combat, Princess Norren focused on learning strategy and tactics. She was the commander on the front line of the kingdom's war against the monsters. Her wisdom was extremely terrifying, and even the scheming Freya was afraid of her younger sister.
Treating everyone as pawns, exhibiting extreme indifference, ruthless strategies, and instructions solely aimed at maximizing profits.
At the same time, he also has a terrifyingly high IQ that can see through people's hearts. Half a year before the final battle with the Demon King in the first playthrough, Princess Noren, who came to the camp, saw that he was already sober and was just pretending to be a severe drug addict. However, for some unknown reason, she did not expose Kyal. Instead, she asked Kyal to do the same things he had done to her sister in exchange for helping to cover it up.
Kyal was also very wary of the intelligence of this Noren princess. If she saw through his acting after they met and pointed out that he had some ulterior motives, Kyal's revenge plan would be ruined.
"Really? Freya's sister, I'm also looking forward to the day we meet."
However, Kyary still had to nod in agreement on the surface.
"Well, let's part ways here for now. The maids will then take you to your assigned bedroom."
Freya smiled, gracefully lifted the hem of her dress, gave a slight bow, bid farewell to Kyal, and slowly departed with her entourage.
Led by the maids, Kyal arrived at the bedroom that the king had arranged for him.
