The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

“I thought it just closed.”

Lisha glanced at the dishes that were still being cleared away.

"It's less than an hour until lunch time."

Freya noticed Lisha's gaze and understood why she said that.

Afterwards, except for Lisha who sat in the hall eating, everyone else went back upstairs to rest.

Especially Elsa and Alan, both of them were very tired, not only physically but also mentally.

Merilu was probably the one who felt the least tired besides Lisha.

Although Angela was very energetic, she was also very tired because transforming into a beast consumed too much energy.

Meanwhile, Olivia had arrived at the Adventurer's Guild after receiving some news.

The one who greeted her was the receptionist who often greeted Lisha before.

"Lady Olivia, the president is waiting for you upstairs."

The receptionist said as she brought Olivia upstairs.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard Avenate's voice coming from inside.

"The door is unlocked, come in."

Chapter 247: Two-handed preparation

Olivia entered the office.

The receptionist did not go in. She stood guard at the door.

As soon as Olivia entered the office, she saw Avenate sitting behind a huge desk.

"You came."

Avenate's voice sounded a little muffled.

"What? Were you bullied?"

Olivia had known Avenate for many years and knew as soon as she heard her voice that she was sulking.

"I was tricked by that guy Fred."

Avenate leaned back unhappily.

"That guy just relies on his special status! Humph!~"

"Isn't he always like that?"

Olivia looked surprised, as if she was asking, "Did you just discover this today?"

"I thought he would have a bit more dignity after being the emperor for so long, but I didn't expect him to be as shameless as ever!"

Avenate smacked her lips.

Fred had obtained a large amount of supplies and assistance from the Adventurer's Guild with his shameless spirit, and he was actually successful again this time.

The most important thing is, why would the president agree?

"He is that kind of person. He doesn't care about face at all. For him, only real benefits are real. You think he will become more concerned about face after becoming emperor?"

Olivia and Fred were not particularly familiar with each other, but she knew that Fred would never insist on doing so just to save face.

In his eyes, the empire is the most important, and everything else comes second.

This is why Vaughn respects and trusts Fred.

You can always count on Fred's love for the Empire.

"Think about those nobles who had their heads chopped off. If he really had a good reputation, he wouldn't have used such a brutal method."

"I know, but I'm still really upset, especially since these supplies were taken away from me!"

Avenate scratched her hair in annoyance.

“Isn’t this the main reason?”

Olivia sat on the sofa beside her and picked up a document to take a look.

"So many? It seems the Empire is in big trouble."

"It's all caused by those guys from the Eye of Truth."

Avenatus' tone was very unfriendly when she mentioned the Eye of Truth.

"They're starting again?"

Olivia looked subtle.

The Eye of Truth, an academic organization within the Patra Empire, is dedicated to the study of astrology and astronomy, attempting to find new worlds beyond Endrol.

“This time they said there will be results soon.”

Avenate smiled.

So angry.

"I remember them saying that two hundred years ago."

Olivia smiled too.

It is said that the ancient organization Eye of Truth, which has existed for tens of thousands of years, would say every few hundred years that they are about to have results. However, every time the time comes, they fail to produce any results. After that, they pretend to be dead, disappear for a while, and finally appear again after a while and continue to say that they are about to have results.

However, in reality, the Eye of Truth seems to have only existed for about a thousand years according to records. Although it is very old, it is far less than the so-called ten thousand years.

"Fred actually believed what the Eye of Truth said?"

It was difficult for Avenat to understand why such a fraudulent organization had existed for a thousand years without being eliminated.

"Perhaps this is just a trick he used to divert people's attention. After all, he is best at diverting people's attention. Many things can only be done in secret to ensure a greater chance of success."

Olivia was not at all surprised by Fred's behavior.

If you know a little about Fred's deeds, you will know how many absurd things this emperor, who is said to be the third greatest emperor of the Patra Empire, has done.

Only those who know the truth understand how much blood and tears are hidden in these absurdities.

"Also, don't think that the Eye of Truth is really a liar."

Olivia glanced at Avenate.

"Are they not considered liars? There have been more than ten recorded announcements. I can't even count how many resources they have swallowed up."

Avenate drummed her fingers on the table.

"Then why has the Adventurer's Guild never thought of destroying the Eye of Truth?"

Olivia's words stunned Avenate.

She really hadn't thought about it that way.

No, she just didn't want to think about it that way.

"I know you are prejudiced against the Eye of Truth because of your father's affairs, but since the Eye of Truth has existed for so long and has been supported by the Empire and provided with resources by the Adventurer's Guild, it must have its reasons for existing."

"Don't mention that man."

Avenate said with an unhappy look.

Even though so much time has passed, even though that person has been dead for many years, she still doesn't want to mention him.

After all, a man who abandons his wife and daughter in pursuit of truth is not a father at all in Avenate's eyes.

"Even if the Eye of Truth is necessary, don't you think the cost of the Eye of Truth is too high? What kind of results can be worth the resources consumed over the past thousand years?"

"A new home."

Olivia gave the answer.

"A new home? Are you also one of the escapees, Olivia?"

Avenate sneered.

“Didn’t expect that the famous Fire Dragon Breath Olivia is actually a coward?”

"What if the Eye of Truth can really find a new world?"

Olivia stared at Avenate seriously.

"...That is naturally a good way out. At least we don't have to worry about the safety of ordinary people."

Avenate looked at Olivia's serious eyes and gave the answer after two seconds of silence.

"But is it possible? Using a thousand years and a huge amount of resources to gamble on an almost impossible tiny probability."

Although Avenate said so, she knew that it was not shameful to run away when facing the Demon King. If they could run away, the intelligent races on the continent of Endrol would have run away long ago.

But they can't run away.

They are like humans trapped on a deserted island, able to survive only to the last breath, but with no possibility of escape, because they cannot even make a raft to drift on the ocean.

"If these resources were invested in those geniuses, how many gold-level or even legendary ones could be cultivated?"

"Because they saw hope in her."

Olivia's description of her made Avenate stunned.

"You mean..."

"It was because of her final disappearance that the Eye of Truth became so crazy."

Olivia said word by word.

"She succeeded?"

The expression on Avenat's face was full of disbelief.

"I don't know, but she did disappear in the end, and no one could find her, not even the gods."

In Enderol, if a god cannot find any trace of a life, it means that the other person does not exist in Enderol, without exception. Because even if it is the trace of the devil, the gods can find a little.

Chapter 248: First move, then move

"But...."

Avenate had a conflicted expression.

She is still too young and doesn't know many things that happened in the past.

Especially about the previous generation of heroes.

It is said that except for the gods and some parties involved, the deeds of the previous generation of heroes have been completely blocked.

Now many people only know that the previous generation of heroes defeated the devil and then disappeared, but no one knows what the previous generation of heroes did specifically, what her name was, where she was from, what race she was, who her teammates were, all of these are unknown.

"Some things, as long as there is hope, even if it is just a coincidence, are enough to make people risk everything to catch them."

Olivia regretted that she didn't understand this truth at the time.

But now that I have figured it out, I no longer have the determination and guts to risk everything.

"Okay, let's not talk about the Eye of Truth for now."

Avenate waved her hand impatiently.

"Let's talk about the hero."

Avenate's eyes showed curiosity at this time.

"Brave?"

Olivia frowned slightly.

"You don't think you're the only one who can tell?"

Avenate smiled.

"No, I'm just surprised you guys took so long to find out."

Of course Olivia knew that she couldn’t be the only one who discovered Lisha’s identity.

She just didn't understand why Avenate was talking about this now.
