Usually no one would think that they are incapable. When encountering such a thing, everyone would think that they are the "protagonist", especially in this kind of atmosphere.
In the legendary stories that I have heard since childhood, there have been many young people who met masters and then reached the peak of their lives after getting opportunities.
Although I am mature now and no longer believe in absurd stories, if the facts are laid out before me, those longings, memories and desires will all instantly come to my mind.
So there was no second possibility. The three adventurers looked at each other, and then shouted in unison with excited heartbeats and blood.
"We want to be your disciples!!"
Not to mention them, even the Paladin Leit who was hiding a little further away clenched his fists.
As an enlightened being, he actually longs to improve himself. From what he just heard, he understands that the path to enlightenment is so bright.
Even though the words "Gods also started from now on" are a bit outrageous, for a warrior, the excitement in his heart cannot be suppressed.
Especially at the moment when the mysterious traveler drew his sword, Leit had already sensed the charm of that power.
Just the aura alone was enough to make him, who was also a leader among the enlightened ones, feel nervous.
'Who is this person? Such a strong man, with such unheard-of power, cannot remain unknown!'
Leit's mind was frantically searching for memories, but he couldn't connect anything. And someone with such power couldn't even afford a meal.
He didn't know whether the other party had discovered him.
After hearing the answers from the three adventurers, Qin Xiaoxia showed a "relieved" smile as if it was natural.
"Perhaps the decision you made was a little rash, but sometimes rashness is also an excellent quality. It is closer to bravery than stupidity!"
The traveler jumped down from the roof of the thatched house. Although his left leg was shaking slightly more than his right leg, he stood very steadily. Then he turned his head and looked in the direction of Leit.
"Paladin over there, if you want to listen, you can come over. You can't escape my perception just by blocking your sight."
It was not until this sentence that Leit realized that his hiding from beginning to end was ineffective and seemed a little ridiculous.
He stopped hiding and came out from his hiding place generously. In a moment he came to the three adventurers and the mysterious traveler.
After a standard prayer ceremony, Leit spoke respectfully.
"I have no sincere intention to offend you, but I just want to ask you because you said something worrying in the hotel."
"Haha, don't worry about it, Your Excellency the Paladin. I just said that because I saw you and felt something."
The traveler took a step closer and examined the paladin carefully.
"Sir Knight, have you... ever encountered a demon?"
A series of images flashed through his mind like lightning, and Leit instantly remembered a massacre at the border of the Qinggele Empire and the strange corpse speaking.
However, the mysterious traveler in front of him didn't seem to want to ask for too many details, and just continued talking to himself.
"I don't know whether the Supreme God of Light exists, but there are indeed 'evil demons' in the mortal world. Generally speaking, they do not come from the mortal world, or in other words, they do not come from our world..."
Not from our world?
For some reason, the first thing Leit thought of was not the so-called "demon", but something he had heard in the Qinggele Empire.
The Nolan City Church once burned a monster heretic to death, and then some details of the incident spread outward, with Nolan City as the center.
Although the incident was mostly caused by a "curse," the executed heretic also revealed that he came from the outside world before he died.
"The so-called demon gods are beings from the outside world that are so powerful that even I can't understand them. Some of them can stir up bloody storms, while others have no interest in us. They may be curious or malicious, or they may just be acting on their whim..."
When the traveler said this, he subconsciously touched his left leg.
"Paladin... the aura that remains on you is so deep and terrifying. If that demon had murderous intentions towards you, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me."
Leit frowned, his eyes flickering, revealing his unrest.
"The Most High God protects me!"
"Perhaps."
The traveler looked at him again, and then looked in one direction, which was where the Qinggele Empire was.
"I have a nagging feeling in my heart. In the past few decades, I thought that the Church of Light was too bloated and corrupt, but now it seems that it may be much more serious than that!"
The other party spoke "bad words" about the church directly in front of him, a paladin, but Leit could not get angry.
The few of them didn't communicate much afterwards. Although Leit wanted to stay and listen, the traveler still expressed his intention to "send him away" on the grounds that he was going to teach skills to a new disciple.
Although Leit left his name, the mysterious traveler did not seem to have any intention of revealing his identity.
…
At night, the library of the Cathedral of the City of Fanet is illuminated by the light of oil lamps.
Leit was looking through some information, and he was accompanied by eight priest attendants from the church and two official priests.
There is actually a very contradictory aspect to the church. It seems to be very resistant to the spread of knowledge, but a church in a big city often has the richest books and materials in the region.
Ever since leaving the clock tower in the south of the city, Leit came here directly. He ignored the bishop's socializing and directly asked to go to the library to look up information.
"Master Solo! Can you see if this is it?"
A priest attendant ran over excitedly, holding a silk cloth book.
This is a book that records a legendary story. Generally speaking, books are very valuable and stories passed down orally are rarely recorded, but there are always exceptions.
Leiter took the cloth book, and first of all there was a picture on it, which was particularly rare for books of this era.
There are five people in the picture, and judging from the various weapons they are holding, they are definitely not civilians.
"The Life of Degoni?"
Some of the text symbols and writing techniques in this book are similar to the customs of the northwestern Kingdom of Jinshit, and are relatively rare works in this generation.
Just looking at the name, one could tell that it was a legend told to children. He looked at the servant in surprise. The latter smiled awkwardly, but he felt that one of the people inside was somewhat similar to the one Leit described. Anyway, he had been searching for most of the night, so he might as well send over any similar ones to try.
Leit started browsing with the idea of going through it at least once. Fortunately, the signed silk cloth book was not a modern paper book on Earth and could only record limited things, so he could go through it quickly. Otherwise, it would be tiring to read every book.
This is a book describing heroic stories. The five heroes in it are very powerful. They appear in everything from punishing villains to slaying demons. The story is also very suitable for young ages and seems a bit childish.
"A long time ago, the mortal world was not at peace..."
But gradually, Leyte's face became solemn, and he couldn't help but make a sound while reading.
"On the edge of the Huafeng Mountains, the Five Saints encountered an alien demon. The light of God did not shine there this time. The power of the demon could cause the mountains to collapse, spread terrifying poisonous clouds, and create hellfire in the void. Its body was as hard as gold and stone, and its speed was as fast as a hurricane... Di Luo, Maso, and Covenil Banis died in battle one after another. The Lancer Pennsylvania was seriously injured and on the verge of death. In his unwillingness, he passed the power of life to his only remaining companion. The Sword Saint Degonyi also broke through in despair and beheaded the demon..."
"But the evil demon is immortal... Its headless body fled the mortal world and its whereabouts have been unknown since then. After this battle, the five heroes disappeared. It is said that the swordmaster Degni also suffered a lifelong disability. Some say he lost his left hand, and some say his left leg was necrotic..."
