At the same time, the brave Laux also received a report from Agares.
“It’s more tiring than I thought.
It is not easy to save them from the devil's hands.
I was almost detected by the Demon King's expanding magic power several times, but fortunately I was safe in the end.
After today, the Demon King will surely be more careful.
It will no longer be possible for me to transfer people away as easily as I did today.
If something goes wrong in your battle with the Demon King."
Before Agares could finish his words, he was interrupted by the brave Laux:
“This is not your concern.
I was once a hero and I know how powerful the Demon King is.
I will make full preparations before going on the expedition.
You should have a record of that battle. Send me a copy in the evening. I want to find out in advance what abilities this generation of Demon King possesses."
Agares smiled and said, “No problem, no problem.
I have completed all the tasks you asked me to do.
If things go as expected, they should go to the kingdom of the Nine-Life Cat Demon to learn about that forgotten history."
"Who knows? We have to be careful.
At that time, I also thought that he was going to the kingdom of the nine-lived cat demon, but he ended up designing such a trap.
If you hadn't monitored the battlefield, I wouldn't have been able to get this intelligence.
What I originally thought was that if [Red Flame Lord] had difficulty escaping, you would lend a hand.
Unexpectedly, they were the ones who needed help.”
“As the saying goes, things are unpredictable.
You should be very clear about this principle.
The report is over, I'm going back to have a rest.
Call us if you need anything."
Agares cut off the connection with the hero Laux.
Brave Laux also lowered his hand from his temple and continued to play the role of Brave Vokris.
Pulling the reins to stop the swift monster, Brave Laux looked at Brave Vokris's companion on the carriage and said:
“It seems that there is no need to go to support them, as they have already escaped danger.
We were just about to arrive at a nearby city.
We have temporarily stopped the demon king's attack, so I should be able to sleep well tonight."
Princess Aina smiled and said, "As expected of Vocris, you know what happened so far away."
The hero Laukes smiled helplessly: "It's just the goddess's protection.
With the blessing of the goddess, I have the ability of clairvoyance."
Pastor Tara said: “The power that the goddess gave you is also your power.
There must be something special about you, Walkris, that's why you were chosen by the goddess.
Since the goddess has given you this power, you must use it well to save the world."
"makes sense."
The brave Laux responded casually, swung the reins, drove the monster, and continued to drive the carriage.
Some childhood memories gradually came to Laux's mind.
The hero Laux was never a true hero, he was just a "thief" who accidentally inherited the power of a hero.
Laux was born in a border village of an ancient kingdom.
He should have had a carefree childhood like most children living in border villages, but because he was born short, he was constantly ridiculed by his peers and embarked on a different path.
The first person to offer him salvation was his uncle Cloche.
His uncle Cloche never laughed at him for his short stature, but encouraged him in every way.
The naive boy gradually came to believe that a person's height is not the main criterion for judging a person. A person's character and personal strength are the standards for judging a person.
In order to improve his strength, Laux took the initiative to ask his uncle to learn fighting skills.
His uncle Cloche used to be an adventurer. Due to some reasons, his adventurer team was disbanded, so he returned to his hometown and took the job of guarding the village.
No matter how you think about it, his uncle Cloche is the best person to learn from.
Faced with Laux's request, Cloche tried to refuse, but ultimately could not withstand Laux's persistence and decided to teach Laux some skills so that he could fight back when being bullied.
Although Laux did not show amazing talent and understanding in combat, he made up for most of the gap with his own diligence.
If that incident had not happened, Laux might have been able to rely on his diligence and hard work to take over Cloche's job as a guard in the village and live out his ordinary and short life.
But it still happened.
Laux accidentally killed a brave man of his time.
Laux still remembers the events of that day vividly.
That day, after finishing his training with Cloche as usual, Laux returned to the village, only to see an arrogant man harassing his childhood sweetheart who worked as a helper in the store.
The man spoke excitedly and exaggeratedly, trying every means to make his childhood sweetheart a member of his team, completely disregarding his childhood sweetheart's feelings and abilities.
After being rejected, the man remained arrogant and snatched his childhood sweetheart's hand, wanting to take some tough measures.
His childhood sweetheart was very tough and slapped the man in the face.
The slap made the man furious, and he picked up his childhood sweetheart and slammed her to the ground.
Unprecedented anger surged in Laux's heart. Laux rushed towards the man with a wooden sword, throwing away all the fighting skills he had learned.
As a result, the man dodged it easily and kicked him onto the counter.
The man didn't stay for long and walked away before the riot came.
Laux stood up from the broken counter, first confirmed the injuries of his childhood sweetheart, handed him over to the people around him for protection, and then chased after him alone despite everyone's attempts to stop him.
Since he had always lived in the village, Laux knew every path leading to the village, and could judge whether someone had walked there recently by the traces left on the paths. He soon found the man who had left the village.
Laux loudly questioned the man, "You caused such a mess! You bullied others, and you still want to escape like this?"
The man’s face was full of disdain, and he looked nonchalant: “My adventure has just begun, I just don’t want to get into trouble.
I also didn't expect that my strength would be so strong that I could easily knock a person to the ground.
It’s not my fault.
Who told her to reject me
Being favored by me is a blessing she has earned in eight lifetimes!
As a result, that woman was so ignorant.
I just hit him a little too hard and he fell to the ground.
I cannot allow my adventure to be tainted in any way.”
"What adventure? What stain
I just know that you did something wrong, so you should apologize to her and take responsibility for what you have done."
"You don't understand. A stain is so fatal to someone of my status."
"Open your mouth and keep speaking dirty! If you don't want to go back with me and apologize, then I can only teach you a lesson using what I have learned!"
At that time, Laux was young and energetic and just wanted to vent his anger.
But
During the fight, the man was full of sarcasm.
