Chapter 151

"I knew you would care about this."

Vivian, who didn't know what Shien was thinking, suddenly smiled.

"Actually, this isn't really a secret. Almost everyone in the kingdom knows about it."

Hearing Vivian's opening words, Shien felt a little uncomfortable.

Everyone knows about it … Everyone knows about it … Damn it! Everyone knows about it again!

You're bullying us transmigrators for being unfamiliar with this place. We've just arrived here and don't know anything, right?

Feeling that his intelligence was being insulted, Shien felt a little regretful. Why didn't he read more books in the guild library?

If he had read more books, he would definitely know about these so-called things that everyone knows about, right?

But now, he was treated as an illiterate, which was really too uncomfortable.

At this moment, Shien deeply experienced the benefits of reading and decided to play a card of advice to everyone to study hard and improve every day.

Of course, Vivian couldn't possibly know that Shien was brainstorming again, so she directly explained.

"I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that the hero's holy sword should belong to all of you and shouldn't be transferable. Besides, once the hero dies, the holy sword will also disappear, right?"

Vivian spoke with fervor and assurance.

"In fact, that's indeed the case. In the past, when the heroes who were summoned to this world died, their holy sword would directly shatter, and not even a fragment would be left behind."

"However, 1,000 years ago, the hero who founded this kingdom, Mithra, was about to die. In order to leave some power for the royal family and the kingdom, he made a request to the three goddesses."

"That request was to offer him as a living sacrifice to the holy sword."

Hearing this, Shien's footsteps came to an abrupt halt.

"Sacrifice?"

Shien's face was filled with astonishment.

"That's right." Vivian nodded in affirmation as she said, "The holy sword is a power born from the concept of 'Hero'. Once the Hero dies, the holy sword will naturally disappear with him."

"Since that's the case, before the hero dies, the hero's body will be used as a sacrifice and offered to the holy sword through a ritual."

"In this way, the hero will be equivalent to the holy sword. Without the concept of death, the holy sword will naturally be left behind."

"This is the theory that the hero Mithra proposed a thousand years ago. You've seen the results, right?"

These words made Shien speechless.

"Is he that stubborn?" Sean tried his best not to sound sympathetic, and said, "Instead of making such a big sacrifice, I think it's better for him to find a way to live forever."

Since this was a different world of swords and magic, and there were long-lived races like the God Race, the Demon Race, and even the Elf Race, then as a hero who could even defeat the Demon King, it shouldn't be difficult to find a way to live forever with his own ability, right?

At the very least, as the hero who defeated the Demon King, could ask the three goddesses of the Protoss to live forever. could. could, could. could. could.

Shien believed that gods of the level of the three goddesses should be able to do this.

In the end, it turned into a situation where he had to be sacrificed. How many fatal turns did he have to go through to be so stubborn?

However, this time, Shien blamed the hero wrongly.

"Do you think that the hero Mithra died of old age?" Vivian smiled bitterly. "No. The hero died mainly because he suffered a very serious injury in the battle with the Demon King. That injury was left on his body as a sequela, which eventually led to the hero Mithra's death."

"This …" Shien was speechless.

An injury caused by the Demon King?

That meant that even the Supreme God Omniss could not cure this injury, right?

In this case, it was only natural that the other party would GG.

"However, Mithra the Brave only passed away when he was almost ninety-nine years old. This is considered a very long life for humans." Vivian added. "Because of this, the hero wanted to leave his Holy Sword for the royal family and the kingdom before he died, so that he could continue to protect the kingdom."

In the end, he sacrificed himself to the Holy Sword through a ritual, so that the Holy Sword would remain in this world.

"However, the Holy Sword is a power that belongs exclusively to the Hero. Even if it's left behind, it's not something that anyone can use."

Vivian continued to explain.

"To become the new user of the Holy Sword, two conditions must be fulfilled."

"First, one must have the blood of the hero Mithra. In other words, only a member of the royal family of the Mithra Kingdom, and a direct heir, can use the Holy Sword."

"Second, one must have talent and potential that is not inferior to the hero Mithra. Be it unique skills or God's Blessing, they cannot be inferior to the hero Mithra."

"Only by fulfilling these two conditions can one use the Holy Sword and become the heir of the Mithra Holy Sword."

"I believe you understand how harsh these conditions are."

Of course he understood.

It meant that unless one was a descendant of the hero Mithra, one could not become the heir of the Holy Sword.

Comparable to the hero who defeated the Demon King?

Not even the heroes of the past could do it.

That showed how harsh the conditions were.

"In the past thousand years, who has fulfilled these conditions?"

Shien only had this question.

Vivian smiled without saying a word. She glanced at the direction of the Princess's bedroom and told Shien the answer.

The answer was, "There is only one."

In the past thousand years, only the Princess had fulfilled this condition.

"Otherwise, why would she be a modern hero?"

The reason was that simple.

Sean finally understood why so many people worshipped Her Royal Highness Princess so much.

It was not only because she was beautiful, but also because she was born into this world with the aura of a protagonist.

"After I reincarnated as a hero in another world, I realized I wasn't the protagonist?"

"The princess of another world is the hero?"

"As the descendant of the hero, but stronger than the hero himself?"

In an instant, dozens of light novels appeared in Sean's mind.

This title … was so real!

So …

"Vivian, you can go back first."

Shien suddenly said to Vivian.

"What's wrong?"

Vivian was stunned.

"I'm going to see the Princess again," Shien said, "There are some things I want to ask her."

Hearing this, Vivian wanted to say that she could go back with Shien.

But after thinking about it carefully, Vivian stopped herself.

"Then don't be rude to her."

Vivian only left such an order.

"Got it."

Shien naturally agreed.

Only then did Vivian glance at the princess' dormitory behind her before quietly leaving.

Shien watched Vivian leave, then turned around and walked back to Rosie's room.
