The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Chapter 456: Fate is hard to defy III

Aarons had no idea what was happening outside.

Because Jiang Yue standing in front of him seemed like a different person. Not only was there clearly visible lightning flashing on her body, but her originally gentle and calm expression also became much colder.

Sure enough, she must have recognized her identity...

"Ah! I'm so sorry! This matter has been making me really upset lately, so I just...Sir, are you okay?"

Did you really recognize it?

"It's okay... If you don't mind, could you tell me what exactly is making you so upset?"

At that moment just now, Aarons really thought that he would be killed by Jiangyue... Although Jiangyue immediately retracted the overflowing power, his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat.

Even if he has some star protection on him now, it doesn't mean that he can easily take on Jiangyue's attack.

"Then please take a seat, sir. I will tell you slowly."

Because the layout of the Forbidden Book Library is almost the same as the library above, there are also many seats for people to rest... Although people who come here basically don’t need this kind of thing, Aarons thinks it’s still good to have it.

Of course, it would be better if the person sitting in front of you was not so dangerous.

"You must have heard this story - a thousand years ago, there was a brave man from another world who defeated the demons that threatened humanity and saved the world we know."

"Ah, well... of course."

Even though no one can verify its authenticity now, this story is still talked about by people.

A hero descends from the sky and bravely fights his way through obstacles to save humanity, and finally leaves quietly alone after destroying all enemies - this romantic story has been popular in all ages.

"But what I'm thinking about is - why did the hero appear only at that time? Five hundred years ago, when humans were fighting for hegemony and those with power slaughtered the powerless, why didn't the hero appear?"

If it wasn't mentioned deliberately, Aarons would always forget that Jiang Yue was actually a great predecessor who had been active in the world more than five hundred years ago - she personally experienced that chaotic and bloody era, and has survived from then to the present.

"If the reason why the hero descended during the Demon War was because human civilization was about to perish, then human civilization during the Hegemony War was actually not far from destruction."

"…But there was no hero to save the world then, right?"

"Right, so what I'm thinking about is... why did the hero come to this world?"

——In fact, Aarons was also thinking about this problem.

According to Huang Yayin, he is actually a "hero" summoned from another world by the planet, but until now, he still doesn't know what he should do.

Although he also asked this question, Huang Yayin said that now was not the time to tell him - because fate had already shifted, and exploring the truth before completing the correction would only cause him more troubles.

However, Aarons was not willing to give up thinking.

"So did you find the answer?"

“…No, but I discovered a puzzling fact.”

Having said that, Jiang Yue reached out and took off her glasses, then looked at Aarons' face with a very serious look.

"It's as if the records of that era were deliberately erased - almost all the information about the hero has large gaps."

"Was it deliberately erased... Why?"

"I guess it's because - the hero at that time didn't come to save humanity at all."

If it wasn't for saving humanity, why would the hero be summoned by the planet?

No, there seems to be a misunderstanding here...

"Just because human civilization was able to continue in the end, does that mean the 'hero' came to save humanity?"

"…Did people who came later infer the cause from the result?"

——Perhaps the hero is not here to save human civilization at all.

The planet summoning a hero does not mean that it really wants the hero to protect humanity - humans have not yet become the masters of the world, so humans in the past were just one of the life forms on the planet.

So, what exactly did the brave man from thousands of years ago come here to do?

"Because there are no records worth referring to, I only have a guess without evidence... This forbidden library does not contain what I need, so it has no value to me at all."

"I can only express my regret..."

Aarons could understand Jiang Yue's feelings.

After all, he had many similar experiences in the past where he had gone through a lot of hardships but ultimately failed to achieve any results.

But now he and Jiang Yue are just "strangers" who have just met twice, so he has no way to comfort each other.

"I'm sorry to have you listen to all this nonsense, sir... If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If I know the answer, I will definitely answer you."

"Well, I don't really have anything to ask."

Aarons just wanted to leave here quickly and had no mood to chat with Jiangyue.

After all, if he stayed here for one more second, the probability of exposing his identity would increase... If Jiang Yue suddenly asked him to do something else, his troubles would become even bigger.

"Really... Sorry, did I take up your time?"

However, Jiang Yue's reaction seemed quite considerate, which surprised Aarons a little.

He always felt that Jiangyue had seen through or was doubting his identity, but Jiangyue had never questioned it from beginning to end - if Jiangyue really did not reveal his identity on purpose, then why?

Aarons didn't know the answer, and he didn't want to risk his life to find out the truth.

"No, no, today I have a chance to satisfy my curiosity. I want to thank you, teacher."

"Is that so... Oh, by the way, my name is Zi Jiangyue, please just call me Jiangyue."

...No, this isn't really a hint, is it?

Aarons, who had something to hide, was very sensitive to Jiangyue's every move... He always felt that Jiangyue was testing or hinting at something to him.

But Jiangyue's expression looked very sincere, not at all like what he thought.

"This... Don't your students all call you Teacher Zi? Wouldn't it be impolite to call you by your name?"

"You don't want to... Sorry, I'm being rude, please call me whatever you want."

...For some reason, Aarons always felt that there seemed to be a hint of loss and dissatisfaction in Jiangyue's tone.

But he really didn't want to think about it any further... because it was almost time for him to leave the library.

"Well, I should be leaving soon. Thank you, Mr. Zi, for bringing me here for a tour today. I won't trouble you any further."

"Then I'll take you out."

Although the process was indeed a bit frightening, today's trip to the Forbidden Library was generally safe.

Jiang Yue should not have discovered his identity, and as long as he avoided her a little from tomorrow, there shouldn't be any more accidents -

"Also, sir, may I ask you one more question... Have you ever been an actor?"

...How come this accident happened so soon!
