The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

Fred didn't respond, but he acquiesced to this.

Rather than making the Assassin's Guild stronger, the most important option is to keep it in your hands.

"You said before that you met a very interesting girl?"

The handsome man was changing the subject.

"Ah."

Fred said in a strange tone, recalling Lisha's situation.

"She is a very peculiar little girl."

"Is it strong?"

The handsome man asked curiously.

"It's not a question of whether she is strong or not."

Fred found it difficult to describe Lisha.

"She was able to beat up a Gold Rank at the peak of the Silver Rank. It's hard for me to explain to you how strong she is."

As the emperor of the empire, Fred had seen many geniuses, but this was the first time he had seen a genius as unreasonably strong as Lisha.

"So strong? It seems I can't let anyone mess with her."

The handsome man patted his chest.

Fortunately, the previous mission failed, otherwise if I was remembered by such a genius, my life would be difficult in the future.

"Those in the Dragon's Breath, don't move."

Fred warned him sternly.

"Olivia is not as simple as you think."

"Of course I know how powerful the Fire Dragon's Breath is."

The handsome man said that he was not stupid and would not provoke the other party for no reason.

"When are you going to start that plan? Time is running out, right?"

"The signs of the devil's coming have not appeared yet. There is still plenty of time."

Fred was not worried about the time issue. He was just worried that if signs of the Demon King's coming appeared, the Adventurer's Guild would interfere with his plan. After all, although what he was doing was to eliminate the cancer in the empire, it was also to weaken the manpower to fight against the Demon King.

But as long as it is done before then, the Adventurer's Guild will not intervene, because the Adventurer's Guild will not interfere in the internal affairs of the empire.

A protective barrier was raised outside the pavilion, and Fred and the handsome man discussed a secret plan inside.

......

After Vaughn returned to the mansion, he went straight to see his granddaughter Elena.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Elena had almost recovered by now.

She still looked a little lost.

"This is a treasure bestowed upon you by His Majesty."

Vaughn gave the treasure he took out of the treasury to Elena.

"This? But my mission is not..."

Elena looked at the treasure in her hand in amazement.

"Failed, huh? No, you succeeded, Elena."

Vaughn looked at his innocent granddaughter and shook his head helplessly.

"You should know this, right? In addition to you, there are three other gold-rank people who also went to the White Tower."

"So I'm a stand-in?"

Elena was naive, but she was not stupid and she quickly figured this out.

"To be precise, you are all stand-ins. The real person who carried out the mission is someone else. And you did confuse the assassins of the Assassin's Guild, so I said your mission was successful."

Vaughn did not mention that Fred had also gone to the White Tower, nor did he say anything about Fiesta.

"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."

Elena breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

She had always thought that her mission had failed, but she didn't expect that she had succeeded.

"After a while, your knighthood and fiefdom will be granted to you. Don't refuse then. Do you understand?"

"what?"

Elena didn't expect that she could get a title and a fiefdom.

Although Elena is indeed a gold-level knight, there are many such knights in the Patras Empire. Even if there is a real title and fiefdom, it is unlikely to be the turn of the young girl.

"Your mission is worthy of this reward."

Only a few people, including Vaughan, knew the significance of this action to Fred.

"Take good care of your injuries, and then you can develop well in your fiefdom."

"Yes!"

Elena replied excitedly.

Vaughn left some advanced potions before turning around and leaving Elena's room.

After he walked out of the room, he looked up at the sky.

"Your Majesty... You haven't changed, we are the ones who have changed."

Chapter 251 Improving Strength

It has been almost half a month since Lisha's team returned from their mission.

Lisha has been working hard to improve her abilities.

Maybe she can't complete the awakening ceremony and achieve the gold level now, but she can continue to polish to the peak of the silver level.

Especially since Lisha gained three more abilities after that.

[Anger]: Anger is proof of life. You have gained the power of anger. Your anger attribute is rage. Rage never extinguishes. The angrier you are, the more your strength will be enhanced. There is no upper limit. But if your anger extinguishes, your strength will be temporarily reduced by one-seventh.

【War】: ? ? ? (Not enabled)

【Don't Starve】: ? ? ? (Not enabled)

The acquisition of the power of anger has greatly improved Lisha's strength. Even though she is still at the peak of the silver level, for many gold-level warriors, Lisha is already so strong that they cannot beat her at all.

Although the power of anger has serious side effects, this is offset by Lisha's brave power.

Because after the experiment, Lisha found that the power reduced by the power of anger was the power of the current level, and the additional +1 of the power of the hero just exceeded this range. So every time the anger disappeared and the power was reduced, the missing power would be made up by the power of the hero.

What was originally a trump card with significant side effects was turned into a permanent BUFF that can be activated at any time by Lisha.

After a period of training, Lisha was able to enter the angry state in a very short period of time.

At first, Lixia was not very skilled, but after Yuze's guidance, Lixia understood it directly.

As long as you think about the angry things that happened to you in the past, you can quickly activate the power of anger.

For example, being laughed at or made fun of by someone, or being hungry and having no food to eat.

The last point is used to activate the power of anger extremely quickly.

As for the last two abilities, neither Lisha nor Yuze knew how to activate them.

They simply appeared on Lisha's panel, but without any explanation or effect, as if they simply existed there.

Youze asked Lixia to ask Freya, and the answer she got was that it was not the right time yet. Freya didn't say anything else other than that.

During this period of time, all members of Lisha's team have been working hard to improve their strength.

Ilsa attempts the next stage of precision breathing practice.

Meililu began to study new divine arts.

Ai Lan temporarily slowed down her usual research on sunstone and began to study more powerful sun magic.

Angela tries to explore the path to the Golden Level.

Freya is the least anxious one among all, because her strength is far superior to other members of Lisha's team. What she needs is not training, but to witness death and absorb death.

However, Olivia is probably the busiest person in the past half month.

Olivia goes out almost every few days, and often stays away for a whole day.

So Dragon's Breath has hardly been open recently.

"Do you think we should find a mission to do?"

Lisha was lying on the table, looking bored, chewing a piece of dried meat in her mouth, but this did not affect her ability to speak.

"Want to go on an adventure?"

Ilsa was adjusting the bowstring, and she knew what Lisha's expression was without even looking.

"We've been resting for half a month, right?"

Lisha muttered with her face pressed against the table.

"Sixteen days."

Angela stretched and gave the exact number of days.

“It feels like it’s getting rusty.”

Lisha clenched her fists.

I always feel like life without adventure is missing something.

"We can go to the second floor this time. After all, we are all at the Silver level now, and we are strong enough to explore the second floor or even higher floors."

"It's best not to go to the fourth floor or above. From the fourth floor onwards, there will be more gold-level monsters."

Ai Lan reminded.

"There are quite a few hunting missions on the second floor. We can find a few hunting missions in similar territories to take on."

Meililu suggested.

Freya held little Lucy in her arms and quietly watched the other team members discuss.

She thought back to her past adventures, those rare times when she had a little time to herself.

"Lisha, how far are you from the Gold Rank?"

As they were talking, Angela suddenly asked Lisha a question.

"I am not sure as well."

Lisha was not very clear about this either, after all, the path she took was very rare.

"You didn't even know the requirements for promotion to the Gold Rank, so you just rushed in headfirst?!"

Angela Sihuishi was thinking of something, and her words were full of surprise.

"Isn't it just about holding an awakening ceremony and achieving the golden level?"

Lisha tilted her head, seemingly confused as to why Angela would ask such a simple question.

"it's not true."

When Meililu heard Lixia's words, she looked at her in surprise.

"Lisha, advancement to the Gold Rank is not such a simple matter."

Ai Lan also spoke.

"Could it be that Sister Olivia didn't tell you?"

Angela thought about it and found that it was indeed possible. After all, Lisha might not be able to gather all the conditions for a while, so there was no need to explain it in a hurry. Sometimes knowing these things too early is not a good thing.

"say what?"
