According to my observations, the corpse of the Demon King that we killed was still sealed inside, and there are obvious signs of resurrection. ”

In other words, the Demon King was not able to break the seal. ”

About half an hour later, everyone returned to the palace of Chris's kingdom, and Pan Long also followed the car, saving the effort of going back.

Of course, he remembered taking the trophies with him, and by the way, he also left a wooden board with the words "All is well, I have returned to the royal capital" for the soldiers of Piketown, who might come in a while.

Back at the palace, President Lawrence, who had just been in charge of observing the seal, began to gush about it.

"But I noticed one detail: the corpse of the demon king who is being revived shows a clear 'irrational' tendency. It wasn't even busy with the all-important combination of head and body, but rather with the combination of hands and feet. ”

"What does that mean?" asked King Chris.

"I think that could mean that there was no 'consciousness' of the Demon King on that corpse. President Lawrence said, "According to common sense, after the Demon King in the Demon Realm discovers that his human avatar has been killed, he will devote another consciousness to the corpse of this avatar so that the body of this avatar can absorb the miasma more efficiently and resurrect as soon as possible." But this time, apparently not. ”

Patriarch Ailu nodded: "I understand, this time he has put an incarnation into the human world again. ”

"That's right. But we all know that cross-world projection is very limited. Even the gods can only maintain one incarnation in the human world at the same time - the Demon King is certainly no exception. President Lawrence said, "If he really wants a new incarnation to come, he has to discard the previous one altogether." ”

"The price is too great, and he must not be willing to bear it. King Chris said.

Hearing this, Pan Long couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Why is the price too great?"

King Chris glanced at him with a smile, and was about to explain, but President Lawrence had already preemptively said, "It is not difficult for such high-level beings as demon kings and gods to put a projection on the human world. But it's very difficult to make this projection really adapt to the human world, so that it can exert enough power. ”

"Why?"

"Let me give you an example: there are plateaus in the world, and the air is thin. The stronger people become, the more difficult it is to adapt to the climate there, and they are often very sick and difficult to adapt. Only after a long enough period of time can he gradually adapt to that environment and return to his normal state...... You can understand such an example, right?"

Pan Long suddenly realized.

"For the Demon King, each avatar is independent - he has to do this, because it is not easy to get in touch with the Demon Realm. So, an avatar who has adapted to the human world, or an incarnation who has not yet adapted to the human world, if it were you, which would you choose?"

"I definitely choose the one I'm used to. ”

"That's right. President Lawrence smiled kindly and said, "He is reluctant to have been on earth for many years, fully adapted to the incarnation of the world." So the embodiment of this new launch, in fact, is an empty shell. ”

"Empty shells?"

"That's right!" President Lawrence said again, "this avatar is weak, but it carries his consciousness. His plan is probably to use this avatar to break the seal, and the way to break the seal is mostly a suicide attack. In this way, after the seal was broken, this avatar of his was destroyed, and his consciousness happened to merge with the previous avatar, successfully exploiting a loophole. ”

"I see!" Pan Long fully understood.

Having solved this biggest doubt, he felt that his whole body was relaxed. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Pope Anna suddenly said: "Young brave man from outside the sky, are you leaving?"

Pan Long was stunned and looked at her in surprise.

"The goddess told me that it was a brave man from outside the world who killed the incarnation of the demon king. "I think it's you." ”

Pan Long hesitated for a moment and nodded in acknowledgement.

"Yes, I'm from another world. He thought for a moment and added, "But I can't take anyone else into my world." ”

"Don't worry, we won't bother you. Seeing that he was a little worried, the old headmaster smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "In this world, some envoys from other worlds will appear from time to time. There are good ones, and there are bad ones—the Demon King is from the Demon Realm. Isn't it normal that if evil guys can come, then righteous brave men can also come?"

Pan Long looked at them all looking very calm, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was almost scared out of this world just now.

"Thank you for all you have done for us. King Chris took his hand and shook it up and down vigorously, "So, can we do anything for you?"

"I don't need wealth or treasures. Pan Long shook his head, "I can't take them away anyway, so let's give them to those who really need them." ”

King Chris was stunned for a moment, and his admiration became more and more admirable, but his voice became louder: "This is not good! You have worked so hard to come to our world, and you have spent so much time and energy to help us eliminate potential crises and avoid disasters - we must repay this kindness!"

"But I really can't take anything with me......"

"There's always a way. King Chris said, "Wait two days before you leave, and we will always find a good thing for you to be able to take with you!"

"I just held a ceremony for him to be honored first. The old headmaster said, "Now he is a real brave man, and he must be helped to be righteous!"

The brave men of the previous generation nodded their heads in unison and expressed their approval in unison.

So, the matter was settled.

A few days later, a grand ceremony was held in the city of Ilore, the capital of the Kingdom of Chris.

When the news spread, the whole world was shaken.

People flocked to Ilore City like a tidal wave, and the teleportation magic array, which was rarely used in the past, barely stopped, and countless curious and admired people came from all directions.

The whole city of Ilore was also busy, and the king himself presided over the preparations for the ceremony, emphasizing that the ceremony should be made unforgettable.

In order to participate in the ceremony, Pan Long also had things to do.

For example, he needs to cooperate with the tailor and hurry up to customize the dress.

Naturally, the dress could not be as convenient as the attire of adventure and battle, so in order not to be ashamed, three experienced court officials taught him through cramming, and urgently trained him in some etiquette that was "the foundation of the basics" compared to the ceremonial officials.

The past few days of study have made Pan Long miserable, and he has even considered simply running away more than once.

But considering that he had promised others, and that they had prepared such a big scene, it was really unreasonable for him, the protagonist, to run away, so he gritted his teeth and persevered.

On the day of the ceremony, surrounded by his fellow brave students, whom he had only met once, he rode on a gorgeous float and circled around the city of Ilore so that ordinary residents could witness their idols.

Well, idol, that's not wrong at all.

For the people of this world, the brave is their most admired idol!

The person in charge of driving Pan Long was the former idol superstar of Ilore City, the Golden Knight Ron - well, the one who was knocked out by his punch and passed out before.

When the two met, Pan Long was still a little embarrassed, but Ron said happily: "If I can fight with the brave once, I can brag to my grandson when I get old!"

The people who were beaten did not hold grudges, and the beaters naturally did not look for trouble, and the old grievances were laughed off.

Ron even said that he could help Pan Long introduce a few beautiful and open beauties, and he emphasized the latter in particular, squeezing his eyebrows, and the implication was quite discordant.

He was then knocked unconscious by the headmaster with a metal pen holder, this time by his good student Fran who dragged him out with a sigh.

The genius swordsman obviously no longer cares about being defeated by Pan Long in the first place - the other party is a brave man from another world who has eliminated the incarnation of the demon king, and he, a local rookie, is only a prepared brave, of course, he is not the opponent of the official brave.

On the contrary, he thinks about the same as the teacher.

Being able to fight against a warrior from another world who fought the Demon King alone is something that can be boasted about in the future!

When Pan Long rode the float and slowly walked along the streets of Ilore, the streets were filled with countless people who had come to watch the ceremony. Flowers and streamers are sprinkled like raindrops, and next to each flower arch along the way, there are specially selected singers singing praises.

Not only that, everywhere the float arrived, there were a large number of people applauding and cheering, and there were some enthusiastic girls...... Pan Long was only glad that it was broad daylight and everyone was in full view, otherwise he was worried that he might need someone to lift him off the float.

(This is also an exaggeration...... ）

But more exaggeration is yet to come.

When the float came to the palace along the central avenue of Ilore, Pan Long saw a larger crowd in the square in front of the palace.

Ron, who was driving, whispered to Pan Long about the figures standing in front of the crowd.

"The one who was big, at least a head taller than the others, was Slim, the leader of the Northern Alliance, a famous berserker who once single-handedly defeated an army. ”

"The fat man in a dress that didn't fit at all was William, the archon of the Free City, who knew neither magic nor martial arts, but he was the most discerning merchant in the world. ”

"The red-eyed lady is Miss Christine, the speaker of the Hermit Society, who is usually cold and difficult to approach, and she would not have thought that she would laugh like this today. I think you can have a good 'talk' with her after the ceremony. ”

"That old-fashioned old man with no hair is Wayne, King of the Eternal Divine Kingdom. I can't imagine that a proud person like him would stand under the sun just to participate in your award ceremony. ”

"The one who is a little more handsome than me is Queen Hathaway IV of the Kingdom of Galil. Well, although she is dressed as a man, she is actually a woman. ”

"That one who is as thin as a bamboo pole and has a smile on his face is the president of the Mercenary Guild, 'Greedy Dragon' Drowke. He usually has a dead face, and it's hard to squeeze out this smile for him. ”

"That kind eyebrow looks like a good gentleman, Visbros, the head of the six elders of the Adventurers' Guild, and he's a smiling tiger who is said to kill when he laughs - but I bet he's really laughing today, and definitely doesn't mean to find fault in the slightest. ”

He introduced them one by one, and Pan Long looked at them one by one according to his introduction.

No matter what the expressions of those people were before, as long as they saw Pan Long looking at them, they would immediately smile and nod their heads to greet him.

These are dignitaries and heroes from all over the world, they are usually bigwigs who stomp their feet and shake one side, but today, they are only supporting roles.

Today's protagonist is only Pan Long.

The float slowly stopped in front of the high platform used for awards, and Pan Long walked out of the float under the guidance of the ceremonial officer and walked onto the high platform.

The four brave men of the previous generation were all on the high platform, all dressed in ceremonial robes, even Pope Anna, who was always very simple. They stood in an arc and smiled as he walked up to the stage.

"Brave man of another world, thank you for all you have done for us. ”

"I know you're leaving, but your legend will always be with us. ”

"In the distant future, even the stars will dim, and our friendship will last until the end of time, longer than the stars. ”

"There are two things I am most proud of in my life, the first is to crusade against the Demon King, and the second is to establish the kingdom of Chris. And now, the third thing I have to be proud of is to know you as a friend. ”

King Chris stepped forward as he spoke, and put on the golden laurel of the Brave for Pan Long.

When Pan Long turned around and waved to the audience, everyone shouted loudly.

"Long live the brave!"
