The next morning, Fangzheng introduced Xiao Meiyan to Laftalia and Lifana. After learning that Xiao Meiyan was Fangzheng's spawn, the two little girls were a little nervous.
However, Xiao Meiyan was relatively calm. After all, there was no lack of cursed children in the Heavenly Palace. She had seen all kinds of cursed children with animal attributes a long time ago, so it didn't take long for the three of them to become familiar with each other. Then, Fangzheng led the three of them into the depths of the forest to continue leveling up.
It should be mentioned that Xiao Meiyan's bow was similar to Fangzheng's shield, which had the ability to absorb other materials to obtain characteristics.
However, the bow was much easier to absorb than the shield. Fangzheng's shield couldn't absorb weapons, and it only obeyed after Fangzheng activated the code. However, the bow didn't have this problem at all. Of course, it could only absorb the characteristics of shooting weapons, and that was enough.
Not only that, but Xiao Meiyan also gained a huge advantage.
Most of the weapons she used were level 1 in this world, which meant that Xiao Meiyan could directly fuse all the weapons she had stored into her bow and use them immediately.
Of course, not everything could be used. For example, the bow couldn't absorb things like rockets and missiles. It wasn't known if they weren't considered as "shooting weapons" or if there were other reasons.
But overall, most of the weapons' characteristics could still be used.
Due to this, Xiao Meiyan quickly familiarized herself with the bow and quickly used it in actual combat. In just one day, she had leveled up to level 15 all by herself.
Of course, logically speaking, the Four Holy Heroes had a debuff that prevented them from gaining experience if they were too close to each other. But unexpectedly, Xiao Meiyan didn't have this problem with the bow. This made Fangzheng believe in the accuracy of the information he obtained from the Holy Bow.
After all, the Four Holy Heroes had to fight against the Tidal Wave and the Demon King together, so naturally, they had to fight together.
Wasn't it crazy to fight together without gaining experience?
If they had to fight together in a dungeon, they wouldn't be able to split the experience and equipment.
When Fangzheng hacked into the shield system, he investigated it out of curiosity and found that there was no such setting in the system.
Now that he saw that Xiao Meiyan, who had been acknowledged by the Holy Bow, was not in a similar situation, he immediately understood the reason.
Apparently, just as the Holy Bow mentioned, the Hero of the Bow was only a temporary worker. Since he was a temporary worker, he naturally had many restrictions and couldn't enjoy the treatment of a regular worker. That was why they couldn't gain EXP when they were together. However, Xiao Meiyan was an official Braveheart of the Bow, so she wasn't subject to this restriction.
Strictly speaking, the Braveheart of the Bow was just a temporary worker who got in through the back door, while Xiao Meiyan was a big boss who dropped in from above. Their status was different, so their treatment was definitely different.
However, just as Fangzheng and his party returned to Royal City, they encountered an accident.
Hundreds of fully-armed soldiers appeared from all directions, surrounding Fangzheng and company. Behind these soldiers was the idiotic king on horseback.
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng shrugged helplessly and stopped in his tracks.
"The Devil of Shield!"
Riding on horseback, the king looked at Fangzheng with an ashen face.
"As a Hero of the Four Saints, how dare you kill the Hero of the Bow, who is also a Hero of the Four Saints?! Do you know your crime?!"
Hearing the king's words, the surrounding onlookers instantly went into an uproar. Although they knew that the atmosphere in Royal City was tense since the morning, they didn't expect something like this to happen!
The Hero of the Bow was killed?
And he was killed by the Hero of the Shield?
"Haha …"
However, to the king's surprise, Fangzheng only sneered at his question.
"I was just about to look for you, idiotic king. I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep …"
"What, what do you mean?"
Looking at Fangzheng's sneer, the king's heart skipped a beat. He originally wanted to use this opportunity to banish Fangzheng completely. But now … the situation didn't seem that simple.
However, at that moment, Fangzheng suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the idiotic king.
"Altokre Megmalor the 32nd! You changed the ritual without authorization and forged the Hero of the Four Saints! Do you know your crime?! "
"What?!"
Hearing this, the king's eyes widened in shock, while the surrounding onlookers … were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped!
Just a moment ago, they heard the king say that the Hero of the Shield killed the Hero of the Bow, but now, the Hero of the Shield actually said that the king forged the Hero of the Four Saints?
What the hell was going on?
"You're slandering me! You killed the Hero of the Bow, and now you're spouting nonsense here! "
"The Hero of the Bow? You mean the fake one? "
Looking at the exasperated king in front of him, Fangzheng chuckled. What a joke. Do you think you're the only one who knows how to accuse others?
Today, I'll let you see how a black wok is made!
"That's not the Hero of the Four Saints at all. It's just a fake with a title. The real Hero of the Four Saints … is here."
As he spoke, Fangzheng snapped his fingers. Xiao Meiyan immediately walked out and raised the longbow in her hand at the crowd.
"That's … the weapon of the Hero of the Bow!"
"How could this be?!"
The surrounding citizens and soldiers were dumbfounded. After all, according to the legends, the Hero of the Four Saints was bound to their weapons. Once the Hero of the Four Saints died, the weapons of the Hero of the Four Saints would also disappear. However, the Hero of the Shield had clearly killed the Hero of the Bow, but his weapon did not disappear. Instead, it was in the hands of an unfamiliar girl?
Could it be that the girl was the real Hero of the Bow, just like the Hero of the Shield said?
"You forged the Hero of the Four Saints and possessed the Holy Relic. You thought your plan was flawless, but a fake is a fake! Even if you cover up for them as the king, you can't hide the truth! "
As he spoke, Fangzheng extended his hand and pointed at the Hero of the Spear and the Hero of the Sword on both sides of the king.
"They're just a bunch of fakes!"
"W-What did you say?!"
"Nonsense! I'm holding this spear! Why can't I be a Hero?!"
At this moment, the two brats jumped up and shouted as if their butts were on fire.
"Is that so?"
Fangzheng chuckled at their answers.
"Then let me ask you. The Hero of the Four Saints were summoned to this world to protect the world and resist the Tide. What did you do in the previous Tide? "
"I-I killed the monster boss in the Tide!"
"Yeah, if it weren't for us, the Tide wouldn't have ended so quickly!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing that, Fangzheng curled his lips.
"Then let me ask you. Who saw it?"
"Well …"
Faced with Fangzheng's question, the two of them were speechless. Previously, they were only thinking about destroying the boss and didn't care about this!
"The Hero of the Four Saints fought to protect this world and the people of this world. But what about you? What did you do?! "
Hearing Fangzheng's rebuke, the surrounding citizens and soldiers started discussing.
"Yeah, when Lute Village was attacked, only the Hero of the Shield went to protect the villagers. I didn't see any other Hero at all!"
"That's right. My brother is in Lute Village. It was the Hero of the Shield who saved his life!"
"Yeah, yeah. They said they destroyed the Tide, but we didn't see the three Heroes at all. We didn't even see them fight."
"That's right. They didn't help us at all! How can such people be called Heroes? "
As the discussion went on, the voices became louder and louder. Obviously, they believed Fangzheng's words more. After all, in the legends, the Hero of the Four Saints fought to protect the world and the people. However, the other three Heroes obviously didn't do so. Some people suspected it at first, but they were Heroes after all, so they didn't dare to say anything.
But now, Fangzheng gave them a reason.
It wasn't that the Hero of the Four Saints didn't save them, but that except for the Hero of the Shield, the other three were all fakes ….
This reason was obviously easy to accept.
"You … You …!"
The idiotic king obviously didn't expect Fangzheng to lie through his teeth. He was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't say a word.
"Nonsense! Men, take them down! "
"How dare you?! You've forged a Hero to possess a holy artifact, and now you want to attack the Hero of the Four Saints? Do you really think we're pushovers?! "
Following Fangzheng's roar, hot flames instantly erupted, dispersing the soldiers who had surrounded them.
The soldiers who were holding weapons looked at each other and didn't know what to do.
Logically speaking, they should obey the king's orders.
But if what the Hero of the Shield said was true, and the other Heroes were all fakes … .then they were the accomplices of a villain!
Of course, the threat in front of them was the real one.
Most of the soldiers didn't know how powerful the other three Heroes were. However, the knights knew how powerful Fangzheng was. They had to use all their strength to kill the demonic creatures, but Fangzheng could wipe out a large swath of them with a single sweep. It looked like he was chopping vegetables.
In any case, at least Fangzheng did show the strength that the legendary Hero of the Four Saints should have.
Now that they thought about it, if Fangzheng could sweep away all the monsters, how could their small bodies ….
It wasn't easy for them to survive the tidal wave. They didn't want to die here!
With this in mind, many soldiers hurriedly retreated. In fact, deep in their hearts, they believed Fangzheng's words to a certain extent.
Putting everything else aside, the king did come looking for them because the Hero of the Bow was killed. But thinking about it, they were both Heroes of the Four Saints, so why was the Hero of the Shield able to kill the Hero of the Bow so easily? Was the Hero of the Bow really one of the Four Saints?
After all, the legendary Heroes of the Four Saints were all heroes of indomitable spirit. How could they die so quietly?
It was like someone bragging about how awesome Satan was, but in reality, he was smashed to death by a brick in an alley.
In such a situation, most people would either suspect that the person was bragging or that the person who was smashed to death was fake.
No one would think about whether or not the brick was enchanted, mixed with fine iron, and added with automatic pursuit and instant death.
After all, one could say that the story was purely fictional and any similarities were purely coincidental, but the legendary Heroes of the Four Saints who saved the world was a fact that was set in stone!
How could the Heroes who saved the world die so easily?
Am I right?
Looking at the chaotic scene, the king was infuriated and speechless. He thought he could use the Hero of the Bow's death to defeat this bastard. In the end, he didn't expect the Hero of the Bow to slap him in the face and now, he couldn't even stand up. Of course, he also saw the soldiers wavering and more importantly, the people seemed to believe in that damn Shield Devil more than him!
"Nonsense!"
At that moment, the Hero of the Sword and the Hero of the Spear stood up and snarled.
"We are the real Heroes!"
"You are just a shameless person who uses despicable means!"
However, Fangzheng thought nothing of the duo's angry roars.
"Since both of you want to prove that you are the real Heroes of the Four Saints, I have an idea."
As he spoke, Fangzheng patted Xiao Meiyan on the shoulder.
"If both of you want to prove to the people that you are the real Heroes of the Four Saints, then duel her!"
"What?"
Upon hearing that, the two were taken aback. As for Fangzheng, he continued speaking.
"As you all know, she's the real Brave of the Bow that I summoned after I killed the fake Brave of the Bow yesterday. In other words, it hasn't even been a day since she came to this world. Both of you have been here for a whole month. If that's the case, both of you should be stronger than her. So, both of you will have to defeat her in a duel. If you can defeat her, I will temporarily admit that both of you are the Heroes of the Four Saints. If both of you are defeated by her, then … "
With that said, Fangzheng chuckled.
"Both of you can't even defeat a person who came to this world for less than a day and you still have the cheek to call yourselves the Heroes of the Four Saints?"
