"Don't look at me like that, I'm not worthy of admiration. I've been following the crowd all my life, doing only what I wanted to do, only to look back and realize that I've saved so many people .Since you can see me here, it means that you have also accomplished great deeds. We are the same. Although it has spanned thousands of years, you are also a hero."
There was a slight smile on the face of the stranger in front of the campfire.
"No, I'm not a hero. Most of what I do is utilitarian. I'm good at deceiving people with true lies. I put a fake face on people most of the time."
In the face of such legends, Jenkins did not choose to lie, but acted more sincerely.
"In order to get the clans in the Southern Kingdom to agree to send troops, I used spells to coerce the youngest sons of clan elders; in order to defeat the vampires in the court, I also pretended to be a nobleman, mingled in the receptions of high-class people, and danced with those noble ladies. But that's okay, I'm still called a hero, and I've done even worse things."
The man said, putting the scabbard sword next to the helmet, and looking at the bonfire with Jenkins:
"Heroes are not saints. In fact, there are no saints in this world. Even the holy sons who are closest to God are not perfect saints. I once took an adventure with a holy son from the church of [Sacred Gods of the Stars], I've seen him do a lot of things too."
"The Holy Son is not a saint, and I know this, because I am the Holy Son... May I ask which god is [The God of the Stars]? I have never heard the name of this great one. Oh, if it is not convenient to say , there is no need to answer this question, I know there are some things that cannot be said."
"[Sacred God of the Stars] was the righteous god who held the priesthood of the starry sky in my era. If you haven't heard of his name, it means that he has found a successor, and then inherited the collapsed era and became the master. I think now In this era, there should be an righteous god with the priesthood of [Starry Sky], you can equate the authority of these two."
"Um?"
It took Jenkins a long time to react to what he said, and then he had some doubts that this was his dream, which was the secret he had been pursuing.
"The ruler is a righteous god..."
"I know what you're surprised about, but judging from your expression, you probably guessed something before that. Some things really can't be easily said, but I've already died, and what I'm talking to you now is just an imprint From my memory, I don’t need to be afraid of those weak rules, but that’s all I can say. I believe you can guess the meaning of these words, the difference between masters and gods is actually not as big as people think.”
As he said, he took the initiative to add firewood to the bonfire, and the flame became more vigorous.
"The long life of adventure has allowed me to know most of the secrets of that era. If I can help you, I hope I can tell you all the secrets I have, but the rules restrict all of this. You say you are the Son of God? Unusual, generally speaking, this ability will only be selected to master those unknown people who have been submerged in history, and let them carry the weight forward, those talents are the most suitable... Is it the end of the era?"
The ancient hero suddenly asked, his voice still so low.
"Yes, it is the end of the eighteenth century, and the signs of disaster are already appearing."
Jenkins nodded, and the man raised his head immediately, and easily spotted the purple star.
"Star of Destiny? I see. This time [Hero] appeared to become the savior of the world. I see."
He said in a suddenly enlightened tone, and then looked at Jenkins seriously:
"In this way, young man, the responsibility you will bear will be heavier than me and all previous heroes. The savior at the end of the era will determine the future destiny of generations. You must use it carefully. Your own strength, but also beware of other saviors, you will step into the most cruel competition."
"Actually, I have... Forget it."
Jenkins didn't think it was an extra problem. He thought carefully about the amazing information he had just received, and found that he wasn't that surprised. All of this was logical, and the only way to explain it was reasonable.
A suitable successor to the position of the righteous god has achieved the change of the righteous god, but it will not leave too many traces in the history books. The departure of the righteous gods made it possible for the false gods to rise, but...
"Wouldn't this be the reason for righteous gods to use clones to form new gods? But in this way, won't it cause a long-term monopoly of priesthood? It is also the end of the era, and I don't know which righteous god will leave this time , which false god will succeed..."
Jenkins had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and it took him a long time to return to the conversation with the stranger:
"May I ask a question? I'm actually wondering why the [hero] ability is classified as a black holy type?"
He knew the type of this ability from the book. This is the second ability of this type that Jenkins has seen so far. Before that, he once thought that only those abilities that can make sin coins will be classified as Kind of like Black Holy.
"It's very simple, because the existence of [heroes] can reduce the sins of intelligent life, and all the abilities that can reduce or condense sins are all black sacred types. Black represents that they will deal with sins, and sacredness illustrates these abilities It is good for the world."
The hero of the previous generation replied, and then added:
"I got some common sense of this era when I appeared. I know that in the classification of numbered items in the Orthodox Church, black is often used to refer to class A monsters. That is because most of the monsters are also the condensation of sin, so they have That kind of color refers to. I know that in people's culture, black usually does not represent a positive symbolic meaning, but in the extraordinary world, everything related to [sin], whether it is the ability to reduce sin or the tricks that condense sin , whose color is black.
[Hero] is also black. We never flaunt our achievements. What we do is just for the peace of our hearts. "
"I understand. Thank you for telling me these things. The ability of the black holy type has puzzled me for a long time, but now it is finally clear."
"Don't thank me. In fact, I should thank you more. Because of your appearance, [heroes] can continue to pass on. But remember, what we pass on is not only strength, but also faith. Heroes are bonds, and someone will pass them on. inherit, and shine again."
