Epilogue: Glory for Your Heroes (2)

The news spread faster than Frick had expected, and within a morning, the entire library felt that the scribes knew about his medal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a result, no matter where he went that day, he was nicknamed "our hero" by his colleagues, and the eyes of the crowd made him have to complete his work seriously all day. What made him even more unbearable was that someone had beautified his image too much, causing him to be chased by the apprentice scribes he met for the first time.

The main culprit for this was of course Suval - he was also involved in the events of Lemongrass, and he did not receive a medal, but he was rewarded by the library, and thanks to this, the guy became a celebrity in the library for a while.

I don't know if it's intentional or not, this guy who has always been disciplined is also serious when talking about what happened. And when he's confronted with other people's questions asking him "what's going on", he always avoids talking about his own experience and instead adds fuel to what Flick has done.

It may not be correct to say "add fuel to the fire", because he is telling the truth - such as "Frick left him in the village with no combat experience and investigated the ruins of the forest with the adventurers himself" or "Alone with the enemy attacking the village and successfully repelled the enemy".

However, after these facts were expressed in another way, the flavor of the story became a little different. If it weren't for the fact that he was telling the truth, Flick would have even wondered if he was talking about himself or a "hero" who had escaped from somewhere else.

However, Frick also noticed that Suval did not say anything about Sir Leinster when he talked to his companions about the events of those days, and that the greatest credit went to the soldiers who assisted in the defense. I don't know if it was the sorcerer who said something to him, or if he chose to keep his mouth shut, but through his description, Flick's image was confirmed in the midship's mind.

As a result, Frick had to spend the whole day trying to imitate his Suval, straightening his back at work and in conversation, as if he should be a benchmark. Although he doesn't care much about what others think of him, it wouldn't be funny if Suval, who spread the positive news, also had a drop in his rating.

Although it is not difficult to maintain this state for a while, if it is to maintain it for the whole day, then Flick can only be said to be physically and mentally exhausted. When he was finally able to get rid of the "admiring his juniors" and return to his personal world, he felt that his waist was about to break.

"You're finally back, and if it's a little later, I'll probably let the demon follow the smell of your magic to find you. The moment they were pushed away, a girl's somewhat lazy voice came from the room, "How about it, how do you feel about fighting for your life to win the title of 'hero'?"

The next moment, a translucent "snake" swam down from his desk, and the dull red color was quite obvious in the black-shrouded private room. It was Akuli's enchantment, Frick had seen it many times before, so he didn't react when it swam to his feet and neck.

That petite demon not only served as the director of the Great Library of the Northern Realm, but also seemed to have extraordinary attainments in spells, even among the demons. If she were to be compared to Sir Leinster, Flick would not have thought of an answer for a while.

"Isn't that a good thing? It's rare to have a younger generation who looks up to you, and this one has a tendency to evolve into a group, and you should learn to enjoy the pleasures that life brings you. ”

After listening to Frick's complaints, the serpentine angel spat out Akuli's voice: "And I don't think you need to deliberately pretend to be serious, after all, your medal is not for your daily actions, but for your corresponding contribution to this incident." Of course, there is no fixed form of the so-called 'hero', because it is too stupid to let yourself run away because of other people's comments. ”

The words that came out of the demon's mouth were more or less different from the original voice, and Acully's originally lazy tone seemed to have a slight smile on her face, as if the situation of Frick being watched by everyone for receiving the medal seemed to her quite interesting.

However, Frick also knew very well that since Aculi would come to the door at this time, it must not be to make fun of his current situation. The demon always keeps a smile as long as she doesn't face too important things, which makes people feel that there is a subtle sense of frivolity in her words and actions.

No matter how bad the situation is, you have to learn to smile and smile at the humor of life and the noose that life puts around your neck - this is the answer he was told when he first asked Acully about it, and it seems to have been told to her at first.

And the reason why she was so anxious that she even did not hesitate to send an envoy to rush here from Perm, hundreds of kilometers away from the Gate of the North, did not need to ask and knew that it was the "Lemongrass Incident", and she immediately took action when she saw Frick's name in the newspaper report.

If you want to know what really happened in that village, whether it is the mainstream media that is almost unanimous or the tabloids that prioritize sensationalism, it is not as good as the people who actually lived through the events...... What's more, this person has become a "hero" because of this incident.

According to Akuli, after Flick left the library, she also used her own channels to investigate and find out what happened. Strangely enough, however, no matter how much she searched, she couldn't find the slightest hint of Frick's father's email, which seemed to have disappeared after being squeezed out, and was not seen again until it was discovered in the old warehouse some time ago.

In fact, before receiving the parcel this time, Aculi had used various means to investigate the news about Stella Sierra Leone, but it has been fruitless. If she hadn't read the notes in the parcel, she wouldn't have known what Stella Sierra Leone had achieved near the Gate of the North.

This is not normal, as Flick speculated, as if someone had deliberately buried the news about Stella Sierra Leone and only released it to them at this point. Worst likely, those guys are laying down a game to lure her and Flick into the net.

And just when she wanted to further expand her network and investigate the matter related to the email, she saw a description of the "Lemongrass incident" in the newspaper. Frick, who was transferred to the Gate of the North by her position, encountered these things, and it had to be suspicious.

So Akuli hopes to analyze the information obtained by Frick and find out what is hidden beneath the surface of the "Lemongrass Incident". This information may not give her a glimpse of the whole picture, and she may be able to understand more or less what kind of enemy they are facing.

However, the news given by Frick surprised her slightly: the monster that attacked the village may have been a demon maker, and Sir Leinster led the Raven Society to defend the village, hiding the magicians who were so skilled that they almost interfered with cognition...... It was the news that did not appear in the newspapers that was the most important part of the story.

There is no doubt that the part of the information that Flick has now told her has made her realize that this incident is much more complicated than it seems. Her network is relatively complex, and she has far more information than Frick, and the more information she gathers, the more she doesn't want to be involved.

"Hmph, I didn't expect things to be so troublesome...... Raven Sir Uls Leinster? What a guy you don't want to be your enemy. After listening to Frick's report, the ease in Acully's tone disappeared, "What should I say? I didn't think at first, your ability to cause trouble is too powerful, if it's just an ordinary miscellaneous fish, that old crow-level guy is not easy to deal with." ”

The implication is that she has already regarded Sir Uls Leinster as an imaginary enemy, after all, no opponent who can compete with this Sir Raven in terms of magic attainments can be easily solved. They are either high-level sorcerers or great nobles who have many resources.

They should also be mentally prepared at the beginning, their enemies not only have a corresponding level of skill, but also will not be exposed after playing dirty tricks. The same was true of this incident, as they calmly chose to retreat after knowing that the village was difficult to attack, and could not even find any clues about them afterwards - even if Uls Leinster wanted to use this incident as a sword to attack them, he would have suffered from the lack of a sword hilt.

"Akuli, can you ...... about this time?"

Sensing the slight helplessness hidden in the girl's usual languid tone, Frick took a step forward, intending to state his opinion to Akuli. He knew that she would not be able to leave the Great Library in Perm in the near future, so he was the only one who could act here as his glasses.

"Before you speak—no. However, before Frick could say those words, Acully had already guessed what he was saying, "This matter does have something to do with some of the Wizard Clan, and for the sake of safety, you'd better not get too involved." ”

The impoverished village of Lemongrass could become a whirlpool of forces that she did not expect at first. If Frick wants to step into this muddy water, he will inevitably encounter various dangers, the worst of which may be worse than death.

"Your father saved my life, and I can't watch you die. ”

She said.
