The brave Laux also had expectations.
In order to defeat the devil, he encountered many setbacks along the way, and grew into a true hero step by step, hardly revealing any flaws.
The pain and suffering he has experienced over the years is not something that ordinary people can endure.
The village of the brave.
Those who live there are descendants of brave men.
Laux believed that although he made mistakes at the beginning, they were excusable and that the descendants of the brave men in the Village of Brave would definitely understand his difficulties, accept his atonement, and eventually accept his existence and treat him as a true brave man.
But Laux was wrong.
After arriving at the village of heroes, a huge trial awaits him.
In the huge conference hall, he was treated like an unforgivable criminal by the elders of the Brave Village and countless villagers.
"Next, we will try Laux for killing the former hero and stealing his power."
The elder of the village of heroes, who was sitting in a high position, spoke in a loud voice and accused Laux without any explanation.
Laux clenched his fists and raised an objection in court. He explained to everyone that the power of the hero was not taken away by him, but was inherited from the original hero after he accidentally killed him. If possible, he did not want the power of the hero and only wanted to be an ordinary civilian.
The villagers of the Brave Village who came to listen in cheered loudly and did not believe what Laux said at all.
The elder judge in charge of the trial asked a different question: "After you obtained the power of a hero, do you sometimes feel grateful for having obtained the power of a hero?"
Laux did not lie and answered truthfully. Because of the power of the brave, he started a different life and made many friends worth cherishing. He was indeed grateful for having obtained the power of the brave.
Halfway through his words, Laux suddenly realized the intention of the Judge Elder and quickly added that he was not happy because of the power of the Brave itself, but because he was happy to make friends on the journey.
There was a burst of boos at the scene.
Once a stereotype is formed about someone, his denial of the stereotype will be seen as mere sophistry in the eyes of others.
Even if Laux was just stating the facts, others would try every means to pick thorns from his words and turn them into arrows of attack.
The power of the brave is the symbol of the brave village. It is sacred and inviolable. Only the people of the brave village can inherit it. People outside the brave village are not qualified to inherit it.
To use a metaphor, the power of a hero is like a crown that only royals can wear.
If anyone other than the royal family wore the crown, it would be a capital crime, even if the crown flew onto his head accidentally.
The crime is enough to defile the crown.
Laux knew how to please them.
As long as I kneel down in front of them like a slave and slap myself on the face, saying, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I know I was wrong," perhaps they will be able to forgive me for the incident.
but
Laux thought of one thing. Since they valued the "crown" so much, why didn't they take the "crown" back from him after he accidentally obtained it
The people in the Village of Brave are nothing but cowards.
They wanted the title and power of a king, but not his responsibilities.
They are afraid that the crown will be taken away from them, so they behave so arrogantly.
As Laux continued to clarify things, he gradually lost his patience. Even if some conscientious elders of the Brave Village helped him, it would only be a drop in the bucket.
Looking up at the village elders of the Brave, who sat in a high position and constantly criticized him, Laux saw only corruption.
These bastards who rely on their age and status to bully others are the real kings sitting on the throne. The brave men who were sent out are just puppets.
The crown is real, but the king is fake. This is really quite ridiculous.
Laux couldn't help but sneer.
There are always stupid and ridiculous people everywhere.
Laux finally decided to fight back, leaving the elders of the Brave Village speechless.
Laux also completely lost the opportunity to redeem his reputation.
At that time, Laux did not realize the seriousness of the problem. He still naively believed that although there were such a group of old-fashioned people in the Village of Brave, most people should be able to understand what he did. As long as he treated them sincerely, they would understand him one day.
Because of the power of the brave, Laux finally stayed in the village of the brave.
Laux tries to build a trusting relationship with some young people and integrate into the Village of Brave.
But the facts prove how harmful hearsay can be.
Once the image of a "thief" is established by someone with ulterior motives, it will be difficult to prove his innocence in this relatively closed village of heroes, in this isolated and helpless village of heroes.
Laux remembered a story he had heard before, about a noble teacher who was thrown into prison because other colleagues envied and slandered him for defaming his own students. While he was in prison, his "deeds" spread throughout the streets and alleys. Even though he managed to prove his innocence in the end, no one was willing to believe him anymore. He spent his entire life trying to prove his innocence to others and died in depression.
Laux knew that unless he could come up with stronger evidence to prove his innocence, he would be labeled by the Village of Brave for the rest of his life.
After struggling for a long time, Laux decided to prove his innocence and investigate the book that Nanata Liuli mentioned.
Of course, the Village of Brave would not allow Laux to leave the Village of Brave at will, but under the coercion of Laux not returning the holy sword, they finally agreed to let the brave Laux obtain evidence on his own to prove his innocence, on the premise that Laux must completely hide his identity and intentions.
Laux agreed.
He returned to the mainland again and started his journey alone.
At that time, Laux's strength had reached the ceiling of the world. No underground maze could stump him. He found the ancient text mentioned by Nanata Liuli as he wished.
This time, Laux took the original with him, leaving only the copy.
Laux was not interested in Nanata Liuli's work at all, but he remembered that she said that the Nine-Lived Cat Fairy was proficient in ancient texts. If he could find the Nine-Lived Cat Fairy to help, deciphering the entire ancient text would not be a problem.
Speaking of the nine-tailed cat demon, Laux naturally thought of his former companion Skajard.
Under the leadership of Skarsgard, Laux went to the kingdom of the nine-lived cat demon and learned all the truth about this world.
In addition to being shocked, Laux also thought of the companions who were killed one after another by his own hands.
Fallen partner. Is he also misunderstood like him? Is there something he cannot tell
It is a rare opportunity to come to the kingdom of the nine-life cat demon, so Laux intends to find out the truth.
After learning about his uncle Cloche's story, Laux's mentality changed dramatically.
