"Norm Chamber of Commerce..."

Familiar name.

After further questioning, it turned out that in the past few years, the Norm Chamber of Commerce had completely established its foothold and relied on the wealth obtained by the chamber of commerce to expand its armed forces - the Norm Knights, and absorbed and trained many talented players.

Their influence gradually spread across this northern plateau, and the lords of various city-states cooperated with them. They could be said to be the true rulers of this land.

Humanity's power is growing so fast...

I remember that they were just a large-scale general business group six or seven years ago. It is really impressive that they have achieved such results now.

After turning his thoughts, Qing suddenly realized that six or seven years had actually felt so short to him? And then there was the "power of humanity"...

I temporarily ended my communication with the driver and replaced him with Mahat.

The Great Demon has a lot of experience and possesses the innate deception skills of the Demon Clan. He can easily get close to people, gain their favor, and become the second person in charge of communication in the team.

Mahat chatted with the driver about the scenery of different places, different plants, arithmetic and statistics.

I unexpectedly discovered that this guy is good at everything except dealing with people.

No wonder he was confident he could join the Norm Chamber of Commerce.

On this side, Qing went back and asked Xiangzi about the psychological record they had made a long time ago.

"that……"

A fulfilling life always gives people the illusion that time is prolonged. This memory is even more "heavy". Miss Toyokawa took some time to recall which book she put the thing in, and finally found it.

Retested it again.

While I was doing the questions, the little girl looked at me with her bright eyes.

"Big Brother, can you let me see that crystal sword?"

In fact, when she was communicating with Xiangzi, she was observing Qing in front of her, the hero who came from the sky in the critical moment - and he was very handsome, which left a deep impression on the little girl.

"Um, that's my brother's magic. Does the crystal look good?"

"Uh-huh!"

The little girl nodded excitedly.

Qing handed the completed test to Xiangzi and gently asked the little girl what color she liked.

She likes pink.

I made a pink rabbit hairpin and put it in her hair.

……

"Everyone says the Southern Hero is very powerful, but I think...Brother Qing is the most powerful!"

When they parted, the little girl held Qing's hand with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, be nice when you say goodbye."

The driver took his daughter's hand and expressed his gratitude again.

Qing waved his hand, squatted down, and said goodbye to the little girl with a smile, "That Southern Hero is a very remarkable man. However, I will become a hero like that in the future. Please look forward to it. Then you can tell everyone that you have an extremely powerful hero friend."

As he turned to leave, Qing thought of the strange man from a few years ago.

Indeed, a beautiful cape would make him look handsome, which would leave a deeper impression on both him and the audience.

I remember that a long time ago, he and Xiangzi were not used to people's kindness, applause, cheers and flowers.

Now, he actually began to enjoy it, and it even became one of the reasons for them to move forward.

Call it vanity, but actually there is nothing wrong with being vain. As long as it is within your ability, it is not a bad thing to like being sought after.

"Wanting to be famous" is not something to be ashamed of.

Looking at the little girl's longing eyes, Miss Xiangzi could only bite her handkerchief secretly.

She also wanted to say those cool lines, but unfortunately no one asked.

……

After walking a long way, Xiangzi spent some time at night converting the data into a radar chart. Comparing it with the previous one, there were big changes.

It's almost overlapping with Fulilian.

When Qing learned that he would become like Frillian, he showed a <('??`)> expression.

Xiangzi looked miserable.

"It's over, it's already started."

"Xiang's words are so hurtful." Fulilian puffed up her cheeks.

There is only one thing that remains the same as before, and that is the ability to take action.

Always have a clear goal and never stop moving even if you have to take a detour. The drive to overcome fatigue is like a flame that never stops burning.

As long as this remains unchanged, Qing will never become Fulilian.

A short break on the journey: 205, Half-knowledge

I don’t know how long we traveled, but generally we were along the edge of the plateau, going from the east to the north.

Northern Kingdoms, Faber Village.

"Please, adventurers! The young people in our village were so anxious that they all sprained their backs while moving things yesterday..."

Today's work is to move some copper ore and discarded copper materials to the village blacksmith shop for remelting. They seem to be preparing to make a bronze statue to commemorate someone.

"It's the Brave Man of the South," the village chief was chatting with Qing, who was holding a piece of copper ore in one hand. "I saw him a while ago. He killed the monsters surrounding our village. He also helped harvest the crops, retrieve the livestock, and repair the roads..."

Is that hero too omnipotent?

Qing, who had done many such things on the way here, thought unconsciously.

"Speaking of sculpture, what does that person look like?"

"That's the right question. Once you've seen that hero, you'll never forget him. He's a tall, muscular, middle-aged man with the aristocratic look. He wields two greatswords, and his brandishing of them is like the whirring north wind. A single blow from his swords turns into a storm, sweeping up over a hundred monsters!"

It sounds incredibly powerful.

Fulilian blinked. "The North has always had a tradition of exaggerating heroic figures. Qing, we need to distinguish carefully."

"Is it fake?"

"It's highly likely that humans can't do that kind of thing."

"I also want to learn how to create a storm..."

When I left the village, the smelting work was still going on, so I had no chance to see the brave man of the south for the time being.

The villagers who got to know Qing and his friends all held the same expectations and looked forward to his active role as a brave man.

Finally, the reward for the commission is the "magic of scratching the itch on the back".

As a result, Aula's right hand completely lost its usability and ended up gathering dust in a box.

……

Perhaps stimulated by the brave warrior of the South who killed his way through, Qing became a little more competitive and his actions became much more efficient than before.

But it seemed like a long time had passed and he still hadn't met the brave man.

After all, this side is generally moving in an arc, while the Hero of the South is going straight.

I only heard news about that person occasionally when I arrived at some fortresses.

Perhaps for the same reason as Qing, more and more people were inspired by the hero's story and courage. Along the way, many young and mature adventurers embarked on the path to becoming heroes.

It was as if we had returned to the time before the empire was surrounded, when everything was competing and hundreds of boats were vying for the current.

As the Southern Hero marches forward, courage spreads.

And on an ordinary day, their "journey" also came to an end.

We arrived at the northernmost tip of the Northern Plateau in the northwest, west of the border of the empire. It is an important supply point on the front line. The scenery here is something that almost no human has ever seen.

Even in clear weather, you can see the scenery far away. In clear weather, it will be more obvious that the land that always seems to be dim is...

Ende.

For humans, this is the end of the world.

……

"Is that the core of the Demon King's power in the north?"

"Yes."

On this issue, "local" Mahat has plenty of say.

He pointed to the leaden sky in the distance and said, "Before I was called the 'Seven Collapse Sages', I came here."

The Seven Collapse Sages are a force directly under the Demon King. Compared with other demons who unconditionally offer everything to the Demon King, they have more autonomy. It is not just their strength that matters. Whether they can be used by the Demon King and whether they can help the Demon King's goals are all considered criteria.

In the past five hundred years, there have been only seven collapsed sages, and no other titles have appeared.

"Unable to see their own strength, as many demons as humans died there."

Mahat came to this conclusion.

Qing thought about it and felt that maybe the Demon King had killed more demons than humans. Everyone who was summoned was qualified to become the Seven Collapse Sages, and in the end, the seven most suitable people were carefully selected. The others died because they refused to obey.

Across a raging river, the Demon King's Castle cannot be seen from here. All that can be seen is a land with a gloomy sky and even the soil is a deep black.

How do you feel coming here? Actually, not much, just a feeling of being a little heavy.

After all, they are not a real team of brave men, they just came here by taking advantage of the situation.

"Because they are on guard against the advance of the Southern Hero, the surrounding demons have all gathered together. So even if a magic signal appears in this area, no one will come."

Mahat sat on a stone nearby.

He rarely behaves so rudely when speaking to others.

"Qing, do you want to try it?"

"Ah."

Qing stroked his nails. The sound of their friction was almost inaudible, but he would relax because of that feeling.

Crystal colors shimmer at your fingertips.

It has been a long time since I fought with Mahat. This time, it may not be a simple exchange of skills.

He felt that five or six years was a short time, but he also felt that the journey during this period was so long, so long that... He began to question the view that Mahat was incomparable.

This is not blind faith.

In his skill list, [Dispel Magic·Temporary] flickered.

This is the crystallization of my friend's wisdom and hard work, and the result of Qing's participation in experiments as a guinea pig along the way.

Fulilian has been studying how to crack the magic that turns everything into gold. These days, she has optimized the structure of the magic that originally took effect. It can be used at the moment when the golden curse is applied and the body solidifies, to break it.

If you don't seize the opportunity and are frozen, it will be as slow to release it as before.

The elf gave this magic to Qing, trusting in his reaction speed, his intuition in mana allocation, and most importantly, his luck.

She witnessed a sparring match between Qing and Mahat, who were demonstrating martial arts for everyone in the forest, both of them using wooden swords.

It was over in an instant, with Mahat's wooden sword breaking.

Therefore, Fulilian believed that on the battlefield, Qing would always have a split second of opportunity to reverse the situation and seize victory. The imagination generated by this allowed her to optimize this magic.

In this seemingly harmonious and heartwarming journey, according to the original agreement, Mahat cooperated with the analysis of the magic of turning everything into gold. However, this arrogant cooperation actually limited Fulilian's imagination.

Whether or not one harbors murderous intent will result in a huge difference in the way magic is performed.

However, in order to avoid being discovered and caught by humans, which would force him to make the decision of whether to kill or not, Mahat never used the magic of turning everything into gold on humans, monsters, or demons.

If she could witness it a few more times, Fulilian was confident that she could do better.

As for Qing, he felt that Fulilian had done a good enough job. On the day when she taught him magic, Qing, sitting on the bed, couldn't contain his excitement. He hugged Fulilian and rolled around, and finally kissed her.

Then all his desserts for the next half month changed owners.

If this is the price, it is too small.
