"You mean, I can be a hero?" said Julius, looking at Lulunaka, who was dressed in a plain white dress, with a look of disbelief...... No, this shouldn't be Lulunaka, and it can't be Lulunaka. If it were her, she would never say such a thing to herself with such a smile without any impurities, she would probably only laugh at Julius's heroic dreams, making Julius so embarrassed that she regretted why she said such things when she first met Lulunaka.

Julius took a few steps away, slightly to the unidentified girl who had the same face as Lulunaka. "If you're joking to surprise me, or just trying to laugh at me, then that's not going to work. Someone has made me patient with this kind of thing. ”

In the confusion and resistance of Julius, the girl just maintained this smiling face, and did not look discolored. "But if you want to be a hero, there's nothing wrong with that, right?"

For this, Julius could not deny it. He did have a desire to be a hero, and he didn't know why he had told Lulunaka for the first time that he wanted to be a hero—and in retrospect, it might have been one of the turning points in Julius's life.

If this girl didn't know how to read minds, then it was a little strange that he knew that Julius wanted to be a hero. Where the hell did she find out about this? and it seems that she is familiar with Lulunaka, or rather, she has the exact same appearance as Lulunaka, and it would be self-deception to say that she has nothing to do with Lulunaka.

"You can't contradict me, can you?" the girl leaned closer, and the way she floated over made Julius's nervousness linger. "Because that's what you think, that's what you really mean. “

As she approached Julius, she reached out and grabbed Julius' hand. Julius still had a cross-sword in his hand, and after being held by this strange girl, he felt that the girl's hand was a little cold, but not so cold that it made people shiver and excited, but made people feel a little cool. The girl did not seem to have any ill intentions, and Julius put down the cross-sword in his hand after he was held in his hand, and had no intention of wielding it.

"Someone gave this thing to you. The girl lowered her head and looked at the lantern in Julius's hand, and now Julius's hands were held together, and Julius held the lantern in his hand and the hilt of his sword, and the blade of the sword was aimed at the other side, as if he had no resistance at all. "It was the light from this little thing that made me find you. ”

Julius also looked down at the lantern in his hand. The small lantern glows blue, not dazzling, but conspicuous. It didn't look like a flame, but like a ball of light locked directly in the glass.

"See, that's why I'm seeing you, why you're in front of me. The girl held Julius's hand, and her eyes were shining.

"But why me?" Julius still couldn't believe it, was he considered a hero just because of that?, "If there is a better candidate than me, there should be a ......"

The girl shook her head, "Why you? Because you got this." She continued to look at Julius's small lantern, "Why don't you ask the person who gave you this thing, why did she choose you instead of those two adults?"

The adults in the girl's mouth, Julius could only think that she was referring to Olga and Pattin. Not only did she know Julius, but she also seemed to know the people around Julius well. Julius was no longer surprised by this, since the other party had such a nervous face—Lulunaka's face always made him nervous—it didn't seem too unusual. "Olga and Pattin, both of them are so much better than me. He said.

The girl shook her head, "No, the two of them can't and can't be heroes. An old man in his twilight years, a wandering man...... They all have serious flaws that disqualify them from being heroes. And you think they can be heroes, so are you seeing them, are they really the real people? Did those two men, the two grown men in front of you, disguise themselves with masks, or never mention their past mistakes to you?"

The girl didn't seem interested in Julius's mention, and spoke skeptically. When Julius heard this, he didn't know what to say. What kind of man Patin was, after the murder and massacre that happened in the beginning, Julius thought he knew something. In Julius's thoughts, Patin was not qualified to be a noble knight, and Lulunaka seemed to think so, so he forced him to abandon his knighthood - only Julius thought so, as for Lulunaka's idea, Julius did not know, and he would not be bored and go to Lulunaka to ask about such things.

If the girl was just talking about Patin alone, then Julius was very much in agreement and affirmative. But she was referring to them, not just Pattin. Olga is among them. Is Olga a flawed person? Or is she a person who hides something? Julius couldn't believe that the old man, who seemed a little serious, but was kind, had a past that was unknown to outsiders and could not be mentioned to outsiders.

Julius didn't know about Olga's past, but he knew that Olga was a good person. He was willing to give his life to protect Romeona, more noble than Pattin, the so-called knight, although Lulunaka was the first to bring it up, but he was willing and willing to teach Julius how to fight, which gave Julius the ability to fight the thief without having to hide and tremble, he even saved Julius, and he did not hesitate to save Julius, who was almost killed by Roque, when Lulunaka would never help him- I heard this from Lulunaka, who was very unhappy about it.

Although Olga is an old man, there are no heroes in the twilight years of the stories that Julius heard, although the ending is not always too good. If a good man like Olga is not qualified to be a hero, can he Julius? Or is it because the girl said that Olga has the flaw of not being a hero?

Julius suddenly discovers that he doesn't know much about Olga. He was an old man who cared for him and protected him, but that's pretty much all Julius knew.

When Julius was lost in thought and became a little in a trance, the girl took Julius' hand and pulled him closer to the altar. When Julius distanced himself from her just now, he was also far away from the altar. Now Julius was back here, looking at the glowing headband in front of him.

"You should have a little more confidence in yourself. The girl said to Julius, "You have a desire to be a hero in your heart, and now your hesitation is the greatest obstacle to your path to heroism." ”

"But, my words ......" Julius looked at the ring, still hard to believe that he had really become the protagonist of the story—the brave man who got the treasure, the hero who had power......

Whether it was the headband suspended in mid-air or the dagger placed on the altar, Julius could feel the power contained in it, and it was a powerful power that Julius could feel when he stood on the sidelines. Julius knew that the maiden had not lied to him, and that if he had taken the headband off, he would indeed have gained strength.

"You're hesitating because it's not the strength you trained yourself. The maiden continued to Julius, "This idea is admirable, and only a man of pure heart like you is entitled to this power, to punish evil and promote good. She dragged Julius by the hand and asked him to touch the headband. "But don't forget that the existence of heroes has an eternal and unchanging proposition: endowment. ”

"Give ......," Julius muttered, repeating the word once the maiden uttered.

"It's not the power you get on your own that you're pure, and sometimes, heroes have to accept help. The appreciation of kings, the shields of comrades-in-arms, the voices of lovers, the wonders of treasures, the dependents of gods...... These are the power of heroes, and they are also the power that heroes should accept. ”

There seemed to be magic in the girl's words, which made Julius feel less and less resistant. She is not without reason, in the stories that Julius has heard, every hero is not alone, and the strength is not only his own.

"It's about how you use that power, not where it comes from. The girl's words let Julius's last psychological defense line down. His hand, which had been in mid-air and did not touch the headband, was finally dragged by the girl and touched the headband.

Julius took the headband off.
