Chapter 1006 The Flaws of the Six Heroes
"You don't have to be so surprised. He is indeed the hero and pride of our family. He is my great-grandfather Frod." Lan Shi said.
"But..." Zhou Wen looked at Frod in the ice wall. No matter how he looked at it, he was just an ice sculpture. Apart from the human shape, he had no human features.
Frod, who looked like an ice sculpture, smiled. "I became like this because I violated the agreement with the Temple. If you're interested, I can tell you a story."
Zhou Wen naturally wanted it very much, as he knew too little about the older generation.
"At that time, Zhang Daotian, Xia Jiuhuang and I were still very young, about the same age as you..." Frod fell into memories and said slowly.
When the dimensional storm came, many unknown mysterious areas appeared in the human world. Many people died because they were directly in the mysterious areas. Many cruel people gained super powers, and human society was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, six young men stood up and used their strength to defeat all the big demons, expelled them overseas, and established a new order, which is now the Federation.
Those six young men were naturally the six heroes from back then.
However, Frod's story is somewhat different from the legend of the six heroes. According to him, there were no six heroes at the beginning because there were many young people who entered the holy land with them.
However, among those who finally walked out of the holy land, these six were the most famous, and they established the federal government, so there is the legend of the six heroes.
"In fact, among those who entered the Holy Land with us back then, many had talents just as great as the six of us, and some were even stronger. Take Jing Daoxian, for example. His talent far surpassed the six of us, but unfortunately, he didn't gain recognition from the six major holy temples, nor did he obtain a special physique." Frode's expression turned strange as he spoke. "However, Jing Daoxian's failure might not be such a bad thing. Because we, who obtained special physiques and companion pets, were very proud at the time, but later on, something unimaginable happened."
"What happened?" Zhou Wen couldn't help but ask.
"The physiques given to us by the six holy temples all have different shortcomings, but we didn't know these shortcomings in advance." Frod replied.
"What shortcomings?" Zhou Wen wondered.
"For example, Xia Jiuhuang's innate holy body is a nearly immortal physique, but it requires the body to remain a virgin. Once that virginity is broken, the innate holy body is gone. The other five physiques also have various strange flaws, but they're not as obvious as the innate holy body."
Frod paused, then continued, "Because of these flaws, we had to find ways to solve them. However, no matter what method we used, we couldn't make up for them. So, to prevent our flaws from being exploited by others, we had to think of various methods. The easiest way to solve it was to seek help from the Temple."
"So, the Temple is using these special physiques to threaten you?" Zhou Wen understood what Frod meant.
"Yes, on the surface, the six of us are the six heroes of the Federation, but in reality we are just puppets of the Temple. During that time, many of the things we did were based on the Temple's instructions, including the establishment of the federal government." Frod revealed a secret that shocked Zhou Wen beyond belief.
"Could it be that... the federal government is actually just a puppet government?" Zhou Wen widened his eyes.
Frod shook his head. "That's not entirely true. In fact, the six major families are all secretly looking for ways to solve their own problems in order to break free from the control of the Holy Land."
"Furthermore, if the Temple thinks they can completely control us this way, they're gravely mistaken," Frode said calmly. "It's because I disobeyed the Temple's orders that they exploited my physical flaws and ended up like this. Those other guys have done the same thing, either overtly or covertly. So, while the Temple has a significant influence on the Federation, since they can't come in person, they don't actually have absolute sway."
"In addition, Wang Mingyuan used the power of the Temple to weaken the connection between the Holy Land and the Earth, and its influence was reduced again. However, it still cannot be underestimated. If the Temple insists on doing something, they will have many ways to achieve their goals. The six heroic families are not completely united." Frod said.
"You asked me to come here just to tell me this, right?" Zhou Wen asked.
Frod looked at Zhou Wen with a strange look in his eyes. After a long while, he spoke: "I asked Lan Shi to invite you here because I hope you can help me and my family do something. If this thing can be done, perhaps our family can completely break free from the control of the Temple."
"You think too highly of me." Zhou Wen had also been to the Holy Land and several temples, and knew that there were extremely terrifying existences there.
I used to think they were strong, but now I think that the creatures in the temple are probably all at the terror level, or even scarier.
Frod smiled and said, "If this can be accomplished, it will be very beneficial to you."
"Can you tell me what it is?" Zhou Wen was still very curious.
"Inside that maze of lies lies the mask of the God of Mischief. Only by obtaining that mask can one harness its power to escape the effects of their special physique. I hope you can help us obtain it." Frod paused and continued, "In return, I will tell you a secret about the Holy Land that you will surely be very interested in."
Zhou Wen looked at Frode with a strange expression. Although the other party was Lan Shi's elder, he spoke so unclearly that Zhou Wen had no intention of helping.
Looking at Zhou Wen's expression, Frode knew what Zhou Wen was thinking, so he continued, "This secret is related to the disappearance of Professor Ouyang Ting and his men. You should be very concerned about this matter, right?"
"Professor Ouyang Ting disappeared in Zhuolu. It has nothing to do with the Holy Land, right?" Zhou Wen frowned.
Frod smiled and said, "My child, the six holy temples represent the six most powerful races in the other dimension. Zhuolu is the battlefield where two of these races fought a divine war. Do you think there is any connection?"
Zhou Wen looked at Frode, feeling somewhat hesitant, because he was not sure whether he could believe what Frode said.
The six heroes may be very noble in the eyes of others, but Zhou Wen has witnessed the horror of Xia Jiuhuang and knows that they are actually not the same as the legendary heroes.
good evening.
