Chapter 4: The Hero's Banquet

Looking at the orcs lying on the ground and crying, Arthur couldn't help but smile knowingly. I patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Trust me, you will become a real warrior in the future." ”

In the end, this Tamen underground fighting tournament ended with such a strange ending, and all the viewers felt a little dissatisfied, but no one dared to scold any cheating. Everyone knows that the mastermind behind this competition is Councilor Sherlock. I can only curse this shameless goblin in my heart.

Shameless Goblin Sherlock is in a bad mood right now, not only because of the loss of 10,000 gold coins, but also because the script he arranged ended up with an ending that he didn't expect at all. Arthur walked up to him and said unceremoniously, "Sherlock, if you dare to play like this again, I'll kill you." This sentence made Sherlock very unhappy, no one dared to speak to him like this for many years, but what made him even more shocked was that he actually felt horror and pressure, and even nodded involuntarily.

Arthur smiled and said satisfied, and then greeted Mel Gila one by one, and everyone felt that Arthur had changed, but there was a sense of familiarity and intimacy, telling them that this was Arthur.

When Arthur walked up to Rose, who was wondering what was wrong with this guy, Arthur suddenly held her tightly in his arms and breathed deeply in her hair, as if to forget the thousand-year-old attachment. Rosewood didn't refuse, because at that moment Arthur opened his heart to her, and the deep love in it violently hit her heart, making her at a loss, so she had to stiffen her body to accept Arthur's hug. But for some reason, she suddenly felt a little like crying.

Arthur let go of her forehead and kissed her lightly, then looked deeply into her eyes and said, "One day you will understand!" The moment she let go of her embrace, Gui'er actually felt a little reluctant, feeling sadness and regret that she didn't understand. She was surprised to find that her wound had healed somewhere.

Sighing, Arthur walked up to the Lord of Abel and smiled, "You remember my words, if you don't want to accept that fate, you'd better kill me now!" But I know you won't, you'll always be so proud. He casually pointed to Eve beside Abel, "This is a good match!" ”

Arthur laughed and walked away, leaving behind Abel as he brood and Eve as he had a "is this guy crazy" expression.

"Gods of the Heavenly Realm, Lords of the Abyss, I'm back, if you have the guts, let's play again. Just friends, did I really help you, or do you still need me?" Arthur closed his eyes and let his thoughts go.

In the heavenly realm, several sleeping consciousnesses opened their eyes, closed them again, and sighed inexplicably.

The abyss, the communication of several consciousnesses through the infinite plane realm. "Is he back?" "Or rather, he never left!" "Does he refuse to stop after all?" "That's his pleasure, and that's our pleasure." Immortality is not as fun as it seems. ”

It was late at night, and the game had been going on for too long, so Arthur had asked Sherlock for a room to eat. Now Sherlock doesn't know what to figure out, and his attitude towards Arthur has changed drastically, as if he wants to provide for him, and respond to his needs. There were only Arthur, Guira, Gru, and the orc named Boomrah in the room, and Arthur easily got him out of Sherlock's hands.

The food is plentiful, from large pieces of grilled meat, delicate foie gras, and Gru's favorite festive dish to fill the table. Warlocks, goblins, and orcs all set their sights on Arthur. Arthur, on the other hand, leaned back on the sofa and propped his head with one hand, looking at the scene in front of him with a look of remembrance.

Gila finally couldn't help but ask curiously, "Arthur, what the hell is going on, I was confused by you, you seem to have changed a different way." Gru the goblin nodded his head in agreement. The rough-nerved orc had already turned his gaze to the oily roast, and if it weren't for Arthur's words, he would have eaten it.

Arthur smiled and clapped his hands, "Anyway, eat it first." The orc Honla waited for him to say this, and immediately grabbed a piece of roast meat, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it. In Arthur's enthusiastic persuasion, Gila forgot her doubts after a few drinks, and thought to herself: Arthur is fine, isn't it? This is the best. Gru was fascinated by the feeling, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.

"Hero's Feast?" Abel said with a smile as he walked in. But it can be seen that he is a little upset.

"Of course, Avril have a drink, don't you like this the most?" Arthur gestured to Able as he raised his glass.

"I'm curious as to why you know so much, and why did I listen to you, I really have the feeling that it's better to kill you at once!" Abel asked, confused.

Arthur smiled and pushed away a few friends around him who were drinking red eyes and wanted to come up to slay the dragon, and said with a smile: "That's a good idea, but you won't do that, I know you too well, and you will know one day." ”

Able left with an unknown face, making him a little uneasy about what had happened tonight, but he didn't understand where the uneasiness came from.

As the night wore on, Arthur glanced at his drunken friends, and said softly, "Goodbye, goodbye!" and fell asleep on the couch. He slept until the next night, when everyone started to get worried and asked Master Mel to come over, but Master Mel couldn't figure out what was going on.

Then at this moment, Arthur suddenly moved, woke up from his sleep, looked at the familiar faces around him, and said to himself, "Am I back again?"

——————————————————————————————

Arthur shook his head, feeling that the experience of this period of time was gradually becoming clear, not only the experience of the earth but also the experience of being here, and the strange words that Arthur said here, even he didn't quite understand, but there was a faint feeling that it was what he said and did.

So everyone rejoiced, and Arthur woke up to his original state, and no longer had the strangeness of the previous period. But a few people who were more thoughtful about this felt that things were not so simple, and felt that Arthur in front of him suddenly became mysterious.

Mel and Sherlock looked at each other, both looking confused. Mage Mel originally judged that Arthur should have been possessed by gods and demons at that time, but Arthur's behavior after waking up was too ordinary, as if it was what he did, which made him a little confused. However, Arthur was still very happy that he was okay as a teacher, and he had decided to officially announce the acceptance of Arthur as an apprentice at the harvest banquet of the harvest festival.

And now Sherlock can be regarded as cautious when facing Arthur, which makes Arthur laugh secretly, so he can even deceive such a profiteer! But he also knows that he is not playing tricks, but he himself has not figured out what is going on. As for Sherlock, it is not so much that he is threatened by Arthur's words, but that he sees the great value in this man. If Arthur really has something to do with some god or demon, it will be very helpful for him to revive the cause of goblins.

As for the city lord of Able, he still often showed a worried look, but Eve beside her had completely classified Arthur as an intermittent psychopath, and what Arthur said made her extremely angry.

The autumn rain continued as if it was endless, and the huge stage built by the workers in the rain was almost completed, and Abel lay on the stone fence outside the room, staring blankly at this scene. A hand suddenly rested on her shoulder: "Hey, you can't really be a female dragon, right, by the way, what kind of dragon are you? Red Dragon, Black Dragon, or Green Dragon." "No wonder I feel so strange about her, there is always a sense of incompatibility in her face and expression, according to Quincy, she is still an underage dragon!

Able continued to be in a daze without surprise, and said casually: "First of all, please take your hand off, otherwise you will lose it forever." Secondly, I don't care what the dragon is for you. If you have something to say, you have nothing to go. ”

Arthur hurriedly took his hand down, although he was about to become the chief disciple of the legendary mage, and he had such a hard backstage as Quincy Brother. But there's no need to mess with a dragon, this creature has always done whatever it wants.

"Hehe, forget it, I won't mess with you, in fact, I don't really understand what I said some time ago, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it. I'm going to be on your site at my next stop, so I'm here to ask you to take care of me!" said Arthur with a smile.

During this time, Arthur also figured out a lot of things, his crossing was because of the ancient hero Quincy, and he was likely to be Quincy's "reincarnation", although I don't know if there is such a statement in this world, but that is the most accurate word Arthur can think of. As for how to get to Earth, it's not something that Arthur can understand now. And since those ancient heroes are certainly not dead, they must have their own destiny, but where is that place? Arthur wants to dig out the memories inside the soul mask even more.

Pursue the rest of Quincy's suit, you should be able to get more memories, and then find the cane that Quincy said in it, and explore the secret of the transcendent script that Quincy said. But in the process, of course, it is to enjoy life and roam the mainland. And the City of Art is a must-see. The Grand Theatre of Sorrows, and the Royal Academy of Art from the same period as the Eye of the Stars. It's an important classic in this world!

Able continued to look listless, and said lazily, "Oh, come on! I'll invite you to drink!"

Arthur nodded in agreement, and said secretly: This is really a dragon who loves to drink! But drinking with a dragon may require a lot of alcohol.

"Hehe, don't do this, this is my new script, come! show you!" Arthur pulled out the prepared lingua franca version of Romeo and Juliet, and offered his treasure.

Arthur's writing of the book slightly piqued Abel's interest, but he still said, "I'm not in the mood, you can tell me the plot! ”

Arthur completely ignored the other party's blows and told the plot in general. Before Able could speak, Eve came out of the room and said, "I really admire your imagination, Mr. Arnold!" (Arthur's name is only known to a few people in the circle)

In Eve's eyes, a macho man like Arthur should be a representative of well-developed limbs and a simple mind, and the books written by this kind of person will be good, and they know if they don't read it, and the old-fashioned tragic plot that Arthur said makes her even more disdainful.

Arthur touched his nose and smiled bitterly, as if this Miss Eve had a very bad impression of herself now. However, in order to save the reputation of the earth's ancestors in this world. Arthur unceremoniously stuffed the book into Eve's arms and said, "Look at a page!"

Eve didn't want to see it, but Abel next to her seemed to be a little interested at this time, and motioned for her to take a look, Eve had to look down helplessly, wanting to find a few plots to hit this stone man.

But from the first page, Eve's eyes could no longer be taken away from the book, the dialogue is gorgeous and philosophical, and the ideas are ingenious and ingenious. The deep love of the hero and heroine seems to be happening right in front of her, even if she already knows the ending, but when she sees the end, Eve still has a feeling that she is about to cry.

Arthur sighed on the side, it is worthy of engaging in art, although he has read this book a few times, he is not at all moved by Eve, what he did was just a translation work, and in the process of translation, he found that translating English into lingua franca seems to be very simple, perfectly preserving the essence of the master's work, no wonder Eve is so shocked.

Eve read it in one sitting, as if she couldn't feel the passage of time at all, and said in disbelief: "Plagiarism, this must be plagiarism! How could you write such a text?"

And Abel who was already curious next to him grabbed it and looked at it, although this dragon did not have the delicate mood of Eve, but it obviously had a high appreciation for works of art, and it was also a relish to watch. From here, Arthur guessed that Able was probably a silver dragon, which matched the characteristics of her love of art, and the name of her art group happened to be Silvermoon.

In the face of Eve's rebuke, Arthur shrugged his shoulders and said noncommittally, just smiled: "Say whatever you want, but there will be many such plagiarism in the future, but I want to ask, how much can my book sell? I am going to sell it to you." ”

Eve couldn't believe that the person who wrote such a book could talk about the price of the book in front of her so shamelessly, and couldn't help but be even more convinced of Arthur's identity as a plagiarist. But she really wanted to meet the author of the book, could it be Mr. Guira?

On the other hand, Abel read the book at an astonishing speed, and at this time he had already turned the last page, and said to Arthur with a smile: "What a refreshing story, the price will definitely satisfy you!"

Arthur stretched out his hand and smiled and said, "Happy cooperation!" Able also stretched out his hand and smiled and said, "Happy cooperation!" She had a hunch that the person in front of her would bring her a lot of money, although she loved art, but the love of gold coins was already a part of the dragon's life.

Eve glanced disapprovingly at the two men in front of her who had insulted art, retrieved the manuscript, and returned to the house in anger.

Arthur and Able looked at her departing figure and smiled at each other, but Able immediately remembered the uneasy feelings, turned his head with a snort, shook off Arthur's hand, and followed Eve into the house.

Arthur sighed in his heart: This is not the treatment that a great god should receive! But who makes a family an editor and publisher?

Able is the president of Voice Elegance, the largest publishing house on the continent de Grasse, where he has a monopoly on the publication of almost all books related to art, and is also the editor-in-chief of the most widely circulated newspaper in the United States, Le Reis. is a character that any author wants to have a leg. Arthur, a newcomer, is no exception.

Exegesis:

Hero's Feast: Legend has it that the ancient heroes came from various races, their tastes were different, and in order to celebrate their victory, the halfling master Ricky personally prepared a famous feast that combined all tastes, and the name was called the Hero's Feast. Later, the glory of the heroes gradually disappeared, but this hero's banquet was well preserved, and new dishes were constantly added and developed. It was especially loved by the human royal family, and became a must-have banquet after the victory of the war.

However, the oldest Hero's Feast not only has a unique taste, but also has the effect of restoring mental and physical strength, which is the magical cooking magic created by Master Morrick, but the "Book of Deliciousness", which records the spell book used for cooking accumulated throughout his life, has been lost. No matter how much power and wealth you have, you can no longer taste the true hero's feast, which is often cited as a lifelong pain by later gluttons.
