Chapter 142

Why were the Heroes so much stronger than the people of this world, to the point where they were expected to defeat the Demon King?

It was because they had powerful Holy Swords and unique skills at the same time.

There was no need to mention the impact of unique skills on one's strength. It had been mentioned many times in the past. Whether one had a unique skill or not, and whether one's unique skill was strong or not, could greatly affect one's strength. It was even more important than one's level and other skills. It could be said that any kind of miracle could happen.

Take Shien for example. If it wasn't for the unique skill [Providence], how could he possibly kill Beetho, a level 84 Demons expert, like a monkey when he was only level 24?

When Shien mentioned that he had a unique skill, the other members of the escort team no longer doubted that he had the ability to kill Beetho. It was obvious how great the impact of unique skills on a person was.

Although unique skills were usually useless, Heroes were different from others. They usually had relatively powerful unique skills, which was one of their advantages.

The second advantage was that they all had Holy Swords.

This was a godly weapon born from the concept of 'Heroes'. In terms of its impact on one's strength, it was no less than a Hero's unique skill.

An ordinary person with a unique skill could already have such a great impact on their strength. If they also had a Holy Sword that was comparable to a powerful unique skill, how could they not be stronger than others?

In the end, if they also had the blessings of existences at the level of the Three Goddesses, it was impossible for the Heroes not to be extremely strong with these three advantages added together.

Among the Heroes in history, even the weakest one was probably stronger than the level 98 Legendary-ranked knight in the capital. The slightly stronger ones were no weaker than the Three Goddesses and the Six Great Demons. Mithra, who was known as the strongest Hero in history a thousand years ago, had even successfully defeated the Demon King. From this, it could be seen how much the advantages of the Heroes gave them.

Now, what about Her Royal Highness?

A powerful unique skill?

She had it.

The blessings of existences at the level of the Three Goddesses?

She had it.

She even seemed to have a Holy Sword.

In this way, compared to a true Hero, the only difference was that she had reincarnated from another world.

But don't forget, she was from the royal family of the Mithra Kingdom, a descendant of the Hero from a thousand years ago.

In other words, strictly speaking, this Royal Highness actually had the blood of a person from another world.

So, it was no exaggeration to say that she was the Hero of this era, just that she was born and raised here.

This made Shien feel somewhat indignant.

"Why is everyone a hero? You're just a princess, loved and respected by the people. Why can't I even reveal my identity?"

This was simply a difference of treatment!

Of course, Sean and Her Royal Highness could not be lumped together.

Sean was a hero who had been summoned. Now that the war had ended and the three races had achieved peace, if the demons knew that the Protoss was still using the summoning ceremony of the hero that had been used against them, it would inevitably cause great contradictions and conflicts.

On the other hand, Her Royal Highness was just blessed by the heavens. She was born and raised in this world. They couldn't possibly prevent her from being born, right?

She was that Princess.

Sean suddenly remembered something very important.

Shien turned to Vivian. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Could it be that the reason why Beetho planned the large-scale assassination in the capital ten years ago was because of the Princess?" Sean turned to Vivian. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Could it be that the reason why Beetho planned the large-scale assassination in the capital ten years ago was because of that princess?"

That's right, Sean had thought of this.

Indeed, Her Royal Highness was blessed by the heavens. Even if the demons knew that such a modern hero had been born, there was nothing they could do about it.

But the Old Demon Sect was different.

They certainly didn't want to see the birth of another Hero in this world.

Therefore, it was very likely that they would assassinate the princess.

And Vivian didn't deny it.

"It can't be completely denied that they have no intention in this regard." Vivian pondered for a moment, then said, "But, this might not be their direct target, that's not for sure."

Shien was silent.

"Not the direct goal?"

Then what was the direct goal?

Shien recalled the incident with Lésia.

Could it be that the real goal of the Old Demons was actually the thing in Lésia's hands?

That thing stolen from the palace was actually the real goal of the Old Demons?

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it."

Anyway, Bethel and Killian were already ashes to ashes, so it was useless to think too much.

Compared to this, Shien wanted to know if the Holy Sword he saw from the Princess was real.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for the Princess to have the Holy Sword.

According to Nyon, the Holy Sword was a power born from the concept of "Heroes", and Heroes only had a very small chance of appearing in other worlds. Even in most worlds, there were no Heroes. Only a small number of worlds would give birth to a person with the qualifications to become a Hero.

In other words, only people from other worlds could become Heroes, and only people from other worlds could possess the Holy Sword.

The Holy Sword of the Hero couldn't be abandoned or transferred.

For example, even if Shien buried the Holy Sword, it could come back on its own the next day. Because it was exclusive, others couldn't use the Holy Sword at all.

Therefore, only the Brave could use and possess the Holy Sword. Once the Brave died, the Holy Sword would shatter along with him. This was something recorded in books.

So, why did the Princess have the Holy Sword?

Could it be that she was actually from another world that was summoned, and wasn't born and raised in this world at all?

Shien suspected that the Princess was summoned before him, and that she was summoned when she was a baby and was raised by the royal family of this kingdom.

But in the past, there had never been two heroes born in the same era, right?

The number of Heroes was extremely small. Even if one searched all the major worlds, there were probably less than ten Heroes who had appeared so far. With such a number, the probability of two people from another world with the qualifications to be Heroes being born at the same time was too low.

Moreover, there was something wrong with the Holy Sword of the Princess. Not only was its power too weak, but it also seemed to be in a sealed state. What was going on?

"I can't figure it out …"

Sean could not help but mutter this sentence.

At this moment, Vivian, who was beside him, spoke up.

"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it."

Vivian seemed to think that Shien was thinking about the assassination ten years ago, so she immediately patted Shien's shoulder and said.

"Anyway, the masterminds are no longer here, so let's leave the complicated matters to the politicians. Let's take this opportunity to enter the palace and meet the person I want you to meet."

Hearing this, Shien came back to his senses.

"Enter … enter the palace?"

"Can … Can we go in as we please?"

Lumia and Merica were also in awe and trepidation.

"If we can, Mister Baylon and the others won't have to dismiss everyone and arrange for an audience with the princess," Tierre said indifferently. "We're not going to the palace to have an audience, but to have a private meeting."

"That's right." Vivian nodded and said, "I have some friendship with the Princess. Now, she should be very happy to meet us."

This sentence stunned Shien.

"Wait …" Shien reacted and said in shock, "You mean … the Princess …?"

Could it be that the person I want to meet is …?

Seeing Shien's stunned expression, Vivian smiled mischievously.
