For a country, the cost of shaping a hero is never too much, especially when the hero is genuine. Compared with his/her contribution and the effect of boosting people's hearts, any cost is worthless. Appears worth it. As the king, Moroen obviously had considerations in this regard. After learning that Becky was planning to stay in Holletta, he immediately made a series of follow-up plans, and first of all, he gave Becky an unusually generous reward.
Becky finally got her dream manor real estate, which is located in the aristocratic area not far from the west side of the capital. Everything was ready-made. After the king's reward order came down, the manor was sent to Becky in the best condition. The mercenary girl happily invited Hao Ren and his gang to visit her new home, accompanied by Ophra—she came to congratulate Becky on her new house in person as a "comrade in arms".
In front of the magnificent Holletta-style pastoral mansion, Becky pointed to the surrounding fountains and gardens: "Look at this, look at this... I used to dream of living in a house with a garden! Now this is all It's mine!"
Hao Ren knew that it was impossible to calm Becky under such circumstances, so he could only smile and watch the girl convulse like everyone else, and nodded while congratulating: "Congratulations, congratulations, you will be successful from now on— What are your plans?"
"Didn't His Majesty say that from now on, I'll be a legendary mercenary!" Becky raised her head triumphantly, "Eat and sleep every day, then put on good clothes and go to various public places to brag in the first person. , I am good at this—I used to brag in the tavern, and I could brag for a whole night with half a barrel of ale! And I can echo back and forth even if I make up a bragging story... "
Hao Ren was stunned, while Nangong Wuyue patted his forehead and sighed: "Why do I feel that Becky will be abolished soon..."
Hao Ren thought for a while, and felt that the setting of "Legendary mercenaries become famous and become addicted to enjoyment, spend all day drinking and attending banquets, and finally become a generation of waste wood" could not be more blind, so he quickly reminded Becky: "Take it easy, don't put You have really become an idiot. Also, don’t let others sell you: the royal family is using you as a propaganda tool, you have to figure out your own weight and position, and report to me if you are really offended.”
Ophra raised her eyes and glanced at Hao Ren: "Is it appropriate for you to say this in front of me? I am here to act as your guide on behalf of the king."
"Because you represent the king." Hao Ren chuckled, "We are more or less acquaintances. You probably know Betsy's character, and you know a lot about our situation, so I hope you can help Take care. Apart from making money, this silly girl is basically as intelligent as the husky next to me. If she... "
Before Hao Ren could finish his sentence, Lily suddenly attacked him with a whimper. The husky girl bit Hao Ren's arm hard, and sparks shot out from the rigid shield. Originally, Becky wanted to get up and punch her twice, but she saw that there was no place for her, so she had to give up. Looking at the situation, Vivienne hugged her shoulders and muttered nonchalantly: "With his mouth, it's rare for him to be beaten to death."
Lily gnawed for half a minute before finally letting out her breath. After letting go, she covered her mouth and twitched in pain, grinning her teeth and pretending that she had a great advantage: "Landlord, I will be angry if you do this again next time... Hiss , hurt..."
Vivienne rolled her eyes: "If you bite someone and make yourself look like a grandson and forcefully leave the scene, big dog, can you still have something to do?"
"To be honest, I was really shocked when I heard that we were being promoted as martyrs." Becky looked cheerfully at the manicured garden and the three-story mansion not far away. I'm afraid that His Majesty the King will do everything right. I just exchanged my manor property for a landscape grave facing north and south... Fortunately, the reward has not been determined, otherwise I can only go to the cemetery to get the real estate certificate."
Ophra was confused by Becky's words from a different world, but she still understood the general idea. Immediately explained enthusiastically: "Because there is no 'remains' of yours, the royal family built a tomb for you. Oh, it is just north of your manor. People have come to offer flowers every day for these two months."
Becky's face turned green instantly, and of course Hao Ren's expressions were not much better...
"Of course, Becky, you will be 'resurrected' soon." Ofra didn't pay attention to the expressions of these people, and just continued on her own, "The next publicity baseline has been set. You are from Beinz University. After surviving the explosion, he has been recuperating in a small monastery near the Dragon’s Back Mountains for two months. He returned to the capital three days ago and was summoned by the king. You will be awarded the official title of legendary mercenary by the royal family, The church recognizes it together. In addition, considering that your title of "martyr" will be revoked, the church will add a new religious holy name to you, which should be a warrior of the gods or apologist knight or something... According to the past practice It should be one of these two titles.”
Needless to say, everyone understands the next thing. It is nothing more than using the image of a hero to appease the hearts of those shaken by the "Eldest Son" (announced to the public as the invasion of evil gods) incident. Becky nodded thoughtfully: "So my grave can be bulldozed soon, right?"
Hao Ren covered his forehead: "The graves of us are confirmed..."
"Who made you unwilling to show your face?" Becky patted Hao Ren's shoulder happily, "It's okay, we are good buddies, I will remember to visit your graves often—by the way, do you like ale or mead? People use mead to go to graves, but mercenaries are used to using ale to pay homage to their comrades... "
Hao Ren and the others looked at Becky with blank eyes, and Nangong Sanba, who had been watching the whole process, finally couldn't help but sigh: "It's only been a few days since I acted with you, and I feel that the three views have collapsed." You don’t even look like a human anymore... Is this how you usually live?"
"Which time traveler these days came according to the normal three views, not to mention that I travel with a certificate," Hao Ren hugged his shoulders and giggled dryly, "I'm still called the Sun King on another planet, they Get me a sculpture that looks like I’m going to blow up a bunker. I’m better, Lily is regarded as a guardian animal over there, and the form of expression is that every household puts her dog’s head photo on the door to ward off evil spirits.”
Lily: "Huh?"
Nangong Sanba's head was covered in cold sweat. The back wave pushes the front wave. He followed Hao Ren dizzily for the past two days to see the world, which was enough to destroy his views. Now that he heard more truths, he finally couldn't help but deeply doubt whether he decided to join the group. error. But he didn't have a chance to express his opinion at all, because his sister was already excitedly dragging everyone to see the graves erected for him and his party by the Holletta royal family...
There are very few people in this world who have the opportunity to visit their own graves - well, this kind of thing will never happen at all, but Hao Ren did it, and all the friends around him did it.
The new cemetery established to commemorate the martyred heroes of Beinz is just north of the royal capital. It is solemn and imposing. Heavy obsidian-polished steles are neatly arranged in the cemetery, on which are written the lives of the dead and the greatest Merit - fight against evil gods. And just like what Ophra promised, the monuments and statues of Hao Ren and the others are really placed in the front row... These unlucky guys came to the cemetery in a carriage and the first thing they saw was those things. Mixed flavors...
Becky stepped forward to find her own monument, and happily patted the heavy and thick obsidian body: "Look, sit north and face south, landscape grave!"
Hao Ren covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly at him: "You can still be happy... Oh yes, your grave will be bulldozed soon. Damn it, how can I experience such a strange thing."
Vivienne is quite open-minded: "Actually, after living for a long time, you will feel that it's nothing. I often sleep in a coffin, and I also slept in a grave back then."
Lily circled around her monument, grunted a few times inexplicably, and then bent down to dig a hole on the ground. Nangong Wuyue looked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Plan the hole, burn some paper for yourself, in case you don't have enough money."
Vivian whispered in Hao Ren's ear, "So I never try to understand what's going on in this big dog's mind."
But within a few seconds, Vivian suddenly remembered something, and greeted Lily: "Hey, burn some for me too! Maybe it will work!"
Everyone: "..."
Hao Ren sighed: "That's why I never try to understand what's going on in the mind of anyone around me."
