"The power of pride....I thought it would be you."

Plutos stared at Fred with a smile.

“I’m not arrogant.”

Fred would never be arrogant because he had seen too many people destroyed by arrogance.

Besides, is there really anyone among the adventurers who can still be arrogant after knowing the existence of the Demon King?

“Maybe she’s just the right person.”

"Childish arrogance? Indeed."

Philomena understood a little.

Children who know nothing will naturally appear arrogant - the arrogance of ignorance.

But Philomena didn't know that the ignorant arrogance was actually Lisha's, and Lucy's arrogance was ignoring.

"You are a direct descendant of the Kalis family. Have you ever thought about taking back your place?"

Because of Fiesta, Fred would naturally investigate Lisha's team, and also investigate everything about Dragon's Breath.

So Fred naturally knew Lucy's background.

"what?"

"no point."

Lucy's words were divided into two halves, the first half was full of doubt and the second half was emotionless.

"what?"

Plutos was very interested in Lucy's behavior.

She discovered that Lucy might be a very interesting little creature.

"Lucy?"

Lisha looked at Lucy.

Lucy didn't respond, but Lisha knew that Lucy meant it didn't matter.

"Lucy has a twin sister, Phil. Right now, Lucy and Phil share the same body. For some reason, they sometimes mix together. That's what happened just now."

Lisha's explanation also aroused Philomena's interest.

This is an even rarer case than her and Virginia's.

"Did the explosion of the power of arrogance leave behind an unborn sister..."

Fred almost immediately understood what was going on with Lucy and Phil's coexistence.

I also understand why Lucy's emotional power is so unstable.

If we talk about stages, Lucy can be said to be born awakened, which means she is born in the third stage.

But because she was only a fetus when she awakened and she unconsciously saved her sister who was supposed to be dead, her emotional power was completely messed up, and a part of it fell into her sister's soul.

In a situation like this, Lucy, with her weak will and ego, would never have lived past the age of ten.

But Lucy is indeed alive today.

Fred didn't know that because of the years of abuse from a madman, Lucy had developed a strong will. Even though Lucy knew nothing and was weak, she understood what it meant to persevere and wait for hope.

Finally, her persistence paid off and the long-awaited hope appeared.

The man named Thaz wished Lucy would die, but in the end, everything he did allowed Lucy to survive.

All I can say is that he is indeed a clown on the stage - literally.

Chapter 289 Is this the point?

"What a tragic life story."

Frodia seemed to be sad for Lucy; her expression looked very sad.

"I was right. You are more talented than Awu."

Plutos seemed very happy because she was not mistaken, Lucy was indeed of the same kind.

“It’s quite arrogant.”

Philomena noticed that Lucy had not looked at anyone else since she entered here until now, and she seemed to care about nothing except Lisha.

Everyone was ignored by her, even the dream fairy.

Ignorant? Perhaps arrogant is a better term.

Virginia sat quietly beside the teacher.

Virginia was always silent when Philomena was around.

Because she believed that the teacher could handle everything and didn't need her help at all.

"Okay~ Now we all know each other!~~"

Finia landed in the middle of the long table with a smile on her face.

"We'll have about half an hour of chatting, so please pay attention."

"Your Majesty, do you know the exact time when the Demon King will wake up?"

Philomena suddenly asked a question that everyone present was concerned about.

"So what if you know?"

Fred looked at Philomena.

He didn't think it was necessary to reveal this time, not to mention that this time would change due to various issues. The accuracy could only be said to be relatively high, but not precise.

"Of course I'm going to find a way to become a legend before then."

Philomena spoke so matter-of-factly that it took a while before anyone asked any questions.

"It's impossible to become a legend in 20 years, right?"

Awu couldn't help but speak.

According to rumors circulating among adventurers, the Demon King will awaken in twenty years.

However, this rumor has been circulating for several years, so it is actually only about ten years away.

"Little sister, you think too much. There is not twenty years."

Philomena smiled and shook her finger.

"Ten years at most, and it's still in a stable state."

"Hey?"

Awu looked at Fred.

Fred didn't deny it.

The actual time is much shorter than this, maybe only five or six years.

"Isn't that even more impossible?"

"Little sister, you forgot one thing. There are many true geniuses here."

Philomena smiled and pointed at everyone present.

It has to be said that none of the people present had low talent. Even Lucy, who looked the weakest, could actually easily kill a gold-level professional in seconds.

“Perhaps the most talented people in this millennium are gathered here.”

If we were to ask who is most likely to achieve the legendary level in this new millennium, those present here could be said to be the most likely candidates.

Especially Fred, many people cannot judge Fred's strength. Many people think that Fred is already a legend, but the strange thing is that Fred has not performed the origin ceremony, so no one can be sure what is going on.

"Let's put aside the question of the Demon King for now."

Lina hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I think we should still talk about the hero."

"A hero? Yes, there seems to be no sign of a hero being born in this generation."

Philomena suddenly realized.

But she secretly glanced at Lisha with a smile in her eyes.

"In the past, twenty years before the Demon King awakened, there would be signs of the birth of heroes, and many heroes would appear as replacements. But this time, it seems like nothing happened. It's completely calm. No wonder many people thought that the Demon King would not revive for another twenty years."

"I don't have any traces of heroes here. Although many geniuses I'm following are getting stronger very quickly, they don't have the qualifications of heroes."

Fred still takes this matter very seriously.

Although he always felt that his presence, combined with the power of the empire, was enough to repel the Demon King.

But the devil is immortal, and only a brave man can seal him again.

So he has been actively looking for heroes.

Unfortunately, after so many years, many geniuses have reached the gold level, but there is still no trace of the hero.

If Fred didn't know some secrets about the eight churches, he would have thought that the heroes only existed in the stories.

"Since His Majesty hasn't found it, it's even more impossible for me to find it."

Philomena spread her hands, showing helplessness.

She was just the Grand Duke of a small principality. She and Virginia were the only two professionals above the gold rank in the entire principality. It was impossible for a hero to appear in the Blue Rose Principality.

"Hero, I always thought heroes were the same kind, but unfortunately I haven't found a hero yet."

Plutos is the person who is truly in charge of True Desire, so as long as she is not lying, then an organization like True Desire that is spread across half of Endrol will not have any trace of the hero.

"Uh-huh!"

Frodia nodded her head in agreement with Plutos's words, looking as if she didn't know either.

"This is not normal."

Lina said in a serious tone.

She once thought she would be a hero, after all, she started as a magician.

But then she discovered that she was not a hero, not even a substitute.

This made Lina more strict with herself, and she wanted to know who the brave man would be.

"It's really not normal."

Fred affirmed Lina's words.

"Could it be that he died before he could grow up?"

When Plutos said this, even Lisha, who had been eating hard, looked up at her.

"Probably not."

Philomena shook her head.

Although it is true that some generations of heroes died before they could grow up, such an accident would only happen once.

Therefore, since that time, in order to prevent such things from happening again, all the major forces on the continent of Endrol have signed a pledge together. This ancient pledge engraved on a stone tablet is still in effect today.

As long as its effectiveness remains, the hero will never find himself in that situation again.

"That is to say, the hero may have been born, but his identity was hidden for some reason, and no one knows it yet?"

Plutos raised an eyebrow in surprise.

“This is really not that fun.”

What Plutos said was very possible, and the emergence of such a situation meant that conspiracy would inevitably follow.

"Maybe the hero hasn't been born yet~"

Philomena made a silly joke.

"That would be terrible."

Lina found it hard to imagine that if the hero hasn't been born yet, then when the Demon King wakes up in the future, there won't be a young hero under ten years old who will appear to fight the Demon King, right?
