"If you're so grateful, why don't you give the hero some actual reward?" I

was very skilful at asking NPCs for their payment.

Hearing my words, Cynthia was visibly stunned.

This doesn't seem to match the image of a hero who stands up and doesn't want fame and fortune described in the sound transmission stone.

But when she thought about it, heroes also need to eat.

I was immediately relieved.

It doesn't matter, it makes sense.

He took out a small purse from behind him and handed it to me.

I

weighed it twice with some dissatisfaction.

A little bit of digging around I found that there were only ten coins in it.

Don't talk about being a philistine in our city! I'm not the kind of guy who is greedy for money!

It's just that I can't get by by treating heroes with such a poor and sour attitude anyway.

If everyone knew that being a hero could only get such three melons and two dates, who would be willing to risk their lives to protect the town?

That's right!

I am for the sake of future generations.

Attack the adventurer training system of the Kingdom of Brinia!

It's not because you don't get a few bucks because you don't get a few bucks.

I don't think I

could see my underlying meaning in my facial expressions.

Cynthia explained unhurriedly,

"This is the reward for defeating rare saint-level monsters and saving the town.

A purple gold coin that has been converted to the highest denomination.

Although it may seem a little small, as long as you save money, it is enough for you to live a prosperous life for ten years. "

How many years do you say?"

"Ten years." "

Oh, haha, it's ten years!"

my wrist trembled, and I grabbed the bag tightly.

The blushing little face proves that I have done my best at this moment, but...

"Ten years indeed.

Cynthia was calm.

The palm of the hand seems to have infinite suction, as solid as a rock.

No matter how much I pulled, I couldn't move.

"I'm sorry, I just spoke a little louder, can I let go now?"

"

Hehe, of course," she covered her mouth and chuckled, "You're a hero of Brinia."

With that, Cynthia let go of her hand as promised.

"Just kidding, please don't mind.

I carefully put the purse away, and then snorted dissatisfied.

"Just kidding? I think it's a temptation.

"It's a temptation indeed. She

actually confessed.

"This is also one of the tasks of my trip.

I want to see, what

is your strength as a new 'Giant Killer'?" "Eh?" What is the 'Giant Killer'? This title is so earthy!

Can you please help me change it?

"The temptation is almost over, how is your gain?"

"It's

not a big deal." Cynthia shrugged helplessly.

"The strength of the magic is a thing that is clear at a glance.

From this point of view alone, you are not the strongest in the high-level.

It stands to reason that it is not a threat to the saint-level ice giants.

Anyway, I don't know how you did it.

"I'm sorry, but I don't have anything to say about that.

"No comment? I think so.

After all, everyone has secrets, as long as they don't endanger others and the kingdom.

Cynthia, the acting head of the Maple Leaf Knights, had a wave of his eyes, meaning something.

"However, I heard from the townspeople that black flames appeared in the battle with the Ice Giants.

Do you have any clues about this?" "

Black Flame?

That's something that will undoubtedly involve the Demon King.

My pupils constricted, and my heart went cold.

I am afraid that this royal capital commissioner mentioned this matter with ulterior motives.

Also, there was a lot of commotion at that time...

But that can't be helped.

I had no choice.

"Ah, well, I don't know. I

could only say a few perfunctory sentences at will.

As if she had discovered something, Cynthia threw a cold smile at me.

"It's okay, don't be nervous. Since I don't know, I'll ask someone else.

Compared to that, Ms. Xia Ming, can you tell me something about Aisarina?"

"Don't embarrass her!"

Aisarina resolutely reached out and stopped between us.

"Ask me! Lord Xia Ming doesn't know anything!"

"It's really hard for me to be so uncooperative."

After all, they don't want to use force here.

Cynthia cast a look at me.

If you don't answer, it's not that simple.

That's probably what she meant.

Patting her shoulder, which was shaking with anger, I pulled Aisarina behind me.

"Why do you ask this? don't you already know each other?"

and said in a loud voice.

"It's because I met her early that I have to care about her current situation.

Cynthia, however, remained unmoved.

"What do you want to know? Height and weight are secrets.

"Hehe, you're so interesting. I'm not interested in that, though.

What I want to know is something else—"

She leaned in deftly.

The voice is slow and powerful, like a cold pit viper.

"If I'm not mistaken, she was captured in

the 'Battle of July'? I want to know, where did you meet

? How did she escape from the Demon King's army?

I thought of a lot of possibilities before I came.

I wanted to get something out of you, but since I was interrupted by her, I said hello directly.

Cynthia took a step forward.

Aisarina's face instantly became very ugly.

"Like... Did she voluntarily become a secret agent of the demon clan because she couldn't stop the torture?"

At the end, her voice turned softer.

The coercion from the Holy Rank was released, seeping into the body like heavy mercury.

Not again.

Why are these saint levels always moody and turn their faces at every turn?

It's really troublesome.

And boring.

It's boring.

"Oh, you two, you're completely unaffected?

That's interesting. "

I, who have long been familiar with this kind of power, use the righteous scale in my palm to absorb it.

Aisarina flickered like a red lotus mark on her eyebrows, and the sleeping immortal flame slowly woke up.

The magic oppression from the Holy Rank is like a breeze blowing on our faces, and it has no effect on us.

"I finally know why Aisarina hates you

," whispered to her,

"Can you suspect others without evidence?"

I remembered Aisarina's unyielding spirit in the face of torture.

The arrogance of flatly refusing the invitation of the Demon King.

The tenacity to find a way out despite the near-death situation.

Her loyalty, her bravery, brook no blasphemy!

Even the slightest joke would disgrace her golden honor.

"Apologize immediately!

What you have just slandered is something beautiful that you could never have dreamed of.

Even if you think you're stupid, you can't be your shield

!" The situation suddenly became tense!

"It's my duty to be suspicious. However

, Cynthia had no idea of making it worse.

"And, am I really stupid?

If you think about it, my suspicions are not unfounded.

But I'm only now realizing that the problem didn't come from her..."

As soon as the words fell, she grabbed my hand with lightning speed.

At the same time, he shouted!

"Who are you?Why do you have the breath of the Demon King?"The breath of the Demon King

???
