Chapter 24: Heroes

"Thank you City Lord Lu for rushing thousands of miles to help!"

"You're welcome."

"If it weren't for the help of the City Lord Lu, the base would inevitably be destroyed by the hands of the Aragami, and on behalf of the 200,000 residents of the Fenrir Far East Branch, I would like to thank the City Lord Lu for his righteous act!"

"It should be, it should be."

"In short, thank you so much to City Lord Lu! Now that the base has just been attacked, there are still many things to deal with in Xiaxia, so I asked Alyssa to accompany the City Lord Lu to visit everywhere on my behalf, and I will leave first. ”

"Okay, okay, business matters, business matters, you go and get busy."

"Alyssa, take the city lord Lu to visit the branch base, and you must carefully write down the valuable opinions put forward by the city lord of Lu City."

"Okay, branch chief."

"Then the city lord of Lu, I will leave first."

"Uh-huh, you go, you go, you go."

Finally sent away this blonde branch chief who spoke in an official tone and deliberately crepe, Lu Fan also secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead, and after such a while, he felt more tired than killing Aragami for a day.

If you want to talk about the official tone, I don't know if I think Lu Fan is a Chinese, this blonde branch chief is also literary and crepe, but it is plausible, Lu Fan is all kinds of awkwardness when he listens, but he doesn't hit the smiling person, and everyone deliberately accommodates him, so he is really embarrassed to say anything.

"Mom, no wonder there are those Chinese English and American Chinese sayings, it sounds really awkward to write together."

Squinting at the girl named Alyssa who was already secretly snickering, Lu Fan also shook his head with some emotion, and then he cast his gaze through the floor-to-ceiling window to the base below.

Considering that many people would definitely be injured under such abnormal gravity fluctuations, Lu Fan summoned Iron Head after killing the Dragon Turtle Aragami and asked him to organize some medical personnel to send it over.

Since this situation has happened, Lu Fan will naturally help with some things that he can do.

Although the sky is no longer safe today, the speed of the Angel City's standard aircraft is not comparable to that of this world's planes and some flying Aragami, as long as it is not surrounded by a large number of Aragami, the safety is still very high.

So it didn't take long for a large number of aircraft carrying medical personnel and medical equipment from the City of Angels to appear over the Fenrir Far East Branch's base, accompanied by the troops sent by the Iron Head to collect samples of the corpse of the Dragon Turtle Aragami.

Although the abnormal gravity fluctuation did not last long, ordinary humans were undoubtedly too vulnerable in the face of this kind of natural calamity-level Aragami, and in a short period of time, more than half of the residents of the Far Eastern Branch were slightly or severely injured.

After all, this world is already in the end of the world, and these survival bases are not as rich as the City of Angels, so medical resources can be said to be extremely scarce, and sometimes even the injured God Eaters can't take care of them, let alone ordinary residents.

If Fenrir's Far East branch had relied on its own medical resources, at least a small half of the more than half of its residents would have died from injuries or illnesses.

Thankfully, the arrival of the City of Angels Medic has allowed many residents of Fenrir's Far East branch to receive quick and effective treatment.

For the selfless assistance of the City of Angels, Lu Fan, as the city lord, was naturally thanked by almost everyone in the Far East Branch, and it was natural to be able to see Lu Fan to thank him very sincerely, and those who couldn't see Lu Fan were also silently grateful in their hearts.

It can be said that Lu Fan's trip has harvested a wave of faith, and it is worth it.

Of course, belief in this kind of thing is not of substantial benefit to Lu Fan, and he is not an adventurer who goes along with the gods of faith, these beliefs are nothing more than a reputation for him.

And because of an almost forgotten person and a deliberately forgotten promise, Lu Fan often has some attachment to his reputation that he can't even detect.

At this moment, looking at the smiling faces of the many people below who had survived the catastrophe, the promise made by the still very immature voice that was originally buried deep in his memory suddenly surged into Lu Fan's heart for some reason, so that after a short period of slight distraction, he suddenly muttered to himself: "Hero......"

……

"Xiaomei, are you leaving?"

"Hmm."

"The dean said that the family is very rich, and you can be a little princess if you go!"

"Hmm."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely go find you!"

"Hmm."

"The story says that only princes and heroes can marry princesses, and I will definitely become a hero!"

"Why not the prince?"

"Because the prince has a lot of money, I have no money."

"Flutter! Hee-hee-hee~! ”

"What are you laughing at? Am I not right? ”

"Well, I'll wait for you."

This is the promise made by a little boy to a little girl seventeen years ago.

Now, the little boy has grown into a young man, but he has not fulfilled his promise, because time and reality have worn away his innocence, smoothed his edges and corners, and he understands that he is not a prince and cannot become a hero.

In order to forget this unattainable promise, he told himself over and over again that 'I am just an ordinary person', hypnotized himself over and over again that 'I just want to be an ordinary person', and even later he himself believed that he really wanted to be an ordinary person, and even after experiencing many magical things until he first came to this world, he was still deceiving himself.

"yes~! If it were possible, who would be willing to be an ordinary ordinary person? The rhetorical question that reverberates in his heart is the most direct question of his years of escapism, and it is also the truest reflection of his true heart.

His name is Lu Fan, and he is a person who was once unwilling to be ordinary, but now he is no longer ordinary.

"I won't go to you, but I'll do what I promised." A person who was once unforgettable can no longer even remember his name, but Lu Fan doesn't care anymore, because whether it was in the past or now, he and she are destined to be people of two worlds.

Silently staring at the crowd below for a while, Lu Fan shook his head and smiled, as if he was lamenting the hypocrisy in human nature, and as if he was expressing an indescribable relief, which made Alyssa on the side look puzzled.

Then, Lu Fan turned to look at the girl named Alyssa beside him, and asked with a smile, "You say, am I a hero?" ”

Alyssa was slightly stunned, and then nodded very sincerely: "Of course it is!" ”

Now that she knows Lu Fan's identity and witnessed what Lu Fan has done, there is no character in Alyssa's heart who is more worthy of the word 'hero' than Lu Fan.

For this affirmative answer, Lu Fan smiled noncommittally, and then he turned to look at the twilight sunset beyond the high armored wall that was about to sink below the horizon, and after staring quietly for a while, he suddenly said in a tone that seemed to be emotional and like an outpouring: "Then let me do a little more of what a hero should do!" ”

……

A few minutes later, survival bases all over the world, regardless of which faction they belong to, received a communication from the City of Angels.
