The Hero in Exile

"Where am I?"

hiss~

All of his limbs felt a distinct pain at the same time, and it took him a long time to support his exhausted body.

When she opened her eyes, she was surrounded by huge trees and dense bushes. She was in an open lawn, and leaves were slowly falling on Lingyu's body.

"My head hurts..."

I found a big rock to press on to make myself feel better. I still remember that I encountered a sea monster when I was drifting on the sea with that bastard Moran, but I can't remember what happened after that.

Shashasha~~

A sound came from the bushes not far ahead.

"Who is there!"

Lingyu was quick to notice the movement in the bushes and immediately drew out the holy sword and held it in front of her. However, given her current physical condition, if it was the church's pursuers, she would be finished.

Thinking of this, Lingyu unconsciously moved backwards. The movement in the bushes in front of her was getting louder and louder. It seemed that something was about to come out. Lingyu tightened her grip on the holy sword.

"Well, you don't have to be so hostile to me."

After walking out of the bush, Moran saw Lingyu pointing a sword at him. Looking at this silly girl, Moran sighed in his heart, thinking that a demon king had to bring a brave man with him. It was really embarrassing for him to have so many demon kings.

After realizing it was Moran, Lingyu finally let go of her worries and walked back to the place where the stone was to continue resting, not bothering to pay attention to him.

When he walked to Lingyu's side and found a place to sit down, Lingyu discovered that Moran was holding a bunch of fruits in his hands and put them on the ground.

Under the sunlight, the plump fruits looked even more translucent. "Ah." Lingyu watched as a fruit the size of a small palm was put into his mouth.

Lingyu watched Moran put the fruits into his mouth one by one. He didn't feel very hungry originally, but now he suddenly felt that he could eat a lot. However, when he thought about the life-and-death fight between them before, he felt very proud. How could he bow his head to such a guy?

Gu Gu Gu~

Her stomach growled and she noticed that Moran was looking at her, Lingyu lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Oh, I'm really impressed." Moran picked up a few fruits and walked over. "We have to hurry on our way, so eat something to avoid slowing me down."

"Uh… um thank you."

Because Lingyu, who was still blushing just now, took the fruit from Moran and smiled without even noticing it.

Lingyu noticed that Molan still hadn't left. "Is there anything else?"

"Oh...it's okay, it's okay. I was just distracted." Moran walked away in a panic, leaving Lingyu standing there with a confused look on her face.

I actually thought that the guy just now looked pretty when he smiled. How could this be more embarrassing than any other demon king in history? Maybe the water got into my brain when I was in the sea, Moran thought to himself.

Of course Lingyu doesn’t know Moran’s current situation yet.

After finishing our meal, the sun was still not overhead, indicating that it was still early in the day.

Maybe he had been standing there for too long and felt the atmosphere was too awkward, so he just said something casually.

"Where are you from? I have never heard of you in the entire continent. You don't look like someone who would be one of those idiots in the church." Moran expressed his doubts.

"I come from another world." Lingyu recalled what happened before.

"another world?"

Moran looked at Lingyu in surprise. He had never heard of such a ridiculous world.

"Yes, in a time when there was no magic but only technology, the man called Shadow found me, killed me and then transferred my soul to this body. Don't look at me like this, I was a man before." Lingyu gave Moran a wry smile.

Shit, was I just doing that to a guy... Moran shook his head to clear his mind.

Lingyu continued, "They said they would give me money if I killed you. After the war, I didn't want to join any faction and just wanted to live the rest of my life with that money, but I ended up like this."

"You are really stupid then." Moran mocked but then his eyes turned serious. "The church is more ambitious than any country. They let you join the church just to let you, the warrior who killed the devil, promote the church. You have been used from beginning to end."

I wanted to say go back but then I thought that it was true. I could only blame myself for being too stupid. When Shadow found me, I had already fallen into the trap.

"What about you, why don't you just leave."

Lingyu looked at Moran next to her.

"You think I don't want to? Look at this."

Moran raised his arm and shook the shackles on it, as if he also had one. Lingyu only remembered this thing at this time.

"Not only does this thing limit our strength, but anyone who is more than a hundred meters away from the active person will be forcibly teleported to the side of another person."

No wonder I was teleported to the ship before, and the mechanism of the teleportation is not very clear about who teleports to whom.

"By the way, how do you know it's a hundred meters?"
