However, the direction of this protest was quite strange.
“Alright, alright, I know you’re sixteen, but this is definitely too early for you,” Laju said in an unquestionable tone, making Lana even more dissatisfied.
However, after Lajus said that, everyone restrained themselves and never said anything as revealing as before.
Lajus, however, became interested and asked directly, "What information have you found out? About Roya Greirat?"
The princess, who had initially shown displeasure, suddenly brightened up, seemingly quite interested in Roya.
Gorgran and Iveria exchanged glances, then looked at Lajus in unison, seemingly unsure whether to bring it up in front of Lana.
Gathering intelligence is never easy, especially for someone as elusive as Roya.
Lajus simply smiled and said, "Go ahead and speak. There are no outsiders here."
After hesitating for a moment, Gegran slowly said, "Just now, well, this morning, I met Roya and Lord Gegjef."
"The whole thing started because Brian suffered an unprecedented blow and became completely despondent. Lord Gazef then thought of Lord Roya and personally came to the Shining Pavilion to invite Roya to help Brian regain his confidence."
Lahoz tilted her head in confusion, not quite understanding.
"So what intelligence did you obtain?"
Gagland had no choice but to continue, "We happened to run into the two of them and stood by watching Roya and Brian fight."
Lajus then became interested, her green eyes gleaming with a strange light, and she pressed on, "What do you think of Roja's strength?"
“Very strong, even stronger than you, Captain,” Gagran replied without hesitation.
This answer surprised everyone.
The two little girls standing to the side were the first to speak up: "How is that possible?"
"What is the captain's strength? How could someone be stronger than the captain?"
The two little girls started to stand up for Lahoz.
However, the protagonist Lajus, who was being described in this way, did not show any anger on her face; she seemed to be deep in thought.
"Is he stronger than me?"
After pondering for a moment, Lahoz pressed on, "Tell me the detailed information."
Gegrand then truthfully reported the details of their fight, especially focusing on the sword strike that Roya had made.
The initial feeling upon seeing that sword strike, the instant Luo Ya made his move, and the terrifying sense of being there were all described in the most detailed way.
Even Lajus frowned in the end.
From Gegrand's description, she could sense a powerful sense of oppression.
"It's a bit tricky."
Lahoz exhaled, her emerald eyes taking on a serious expression.
"If what you say is true, then this guy's strength can be said to have surpassed mine."
Lahoz commented on this.
Lajus is a very strong person. She is a faith-based magic caster who can use fifth-order resurrection magic, and she is also a descendant of the thirteen heroes.
Her equipment is the legendary Black Knight's Demon Sword, one of the four great demon swords, which is said to be the origin of Lajus's chuunibyou (the beginning of his chuunibyou). Such a girl's combat power is impeccably strong.
Even so, she is not invincible. In fact, there are many people in this world who are stronger than her, and Lajus knows this.
"So, how confident are you of defeating Roya when you go all out?"
Lajus immediately focused her gaze on Iveria, staring at her intently.
The strongest person in the team is not Lajus. Perhaps to outsiders, Lajus, as the captain, should be the strongest, but that is not actually the case.
The petite girl before them is the true fighting force of the Blue Rose.
Iveria was the last to join Blue Rose, yet she was the undisputed strongest member, far surpassing Lajus in strength. In some ways, they weren't even on the same level, as Iveria's extraordinary origins meant her power couldn't be measured by human standards.
If we differentiate their strengths by the adventurer quest commission level, Lajus could probably complete quests alone at around level 80.
But Iverie is different. Even if a task is given to Iverie that is level 130 or higher, she can complete it with ease.
In other words, in terms of reputation alone, Iverai was capable of accomplishing a feat like Roya's.
However, Iver Ai, who was so highly anticipated by everyone, gave a rather shocking answer after a moment of thought.
"I am no match for them, I have no chance of winning."
These words caused an uproar among the crowd.
First, the two little girls couldn't sit still and blurted out, "How is this possible? Even Iveriai isn't a match for him. Is that guy even human?"
"Could it be like Ivelie's situation?"
Under Iver's displeased gaze, the two little girls uttered these words in an incomprehensible tone.
Iveriai actually hated it when people talked about her race, but in the current situation, she just sighed and didn't pursue it any further.
If it were the normal Iveria, she would definitely punch Tia and Tina on the forehead to express her dissatisfaction.
Just now
Laju noticed Iveria's hesitation and asked directly, "Do you have any other speculations? Iveria, just say it."
Iveria glanced at Lana beside her again and said, "Regarding Roya's identity, I actually have a bold guess."
Everyone listened attentively, and Tia and Tina, who had been making a ruckus earlier, stopped talking and became well-behaved.
Iveria continued, "I suspect he might be someone who inherited the bloodline of the 'Players'."
[Player]
The changes it has brought to the world are undeniably enormous.
This is also the deepest secret hidden in this world, and very few people know about it. But clearly, Iverai is one of those who knows.
However, when the people in the room heard the word "players," they showed a confused expression. Clearly, even as steel-level adventurers, they had very little knowledge of the truth.
Iverai had no choice but to explain: "Players are a very special group of people. They are born with extremely powerful strength and extraordinary potential. They can become stronger at an astonishing speed, far surpassing superhuman strength. You could even call them monsters."
"Never mind, you may not know what players are, but you must know the six great gods who once descended upon the Slane Theocracy, the Eight Greed Kings who defeated the dragons and ended their rule over the world, and the thirteen heroes you all know, right?"
"And these people mentioned above are a kind of existence called [Players]."
The crowd erupted in uproar upon hearing this.
They may not know what players are, but they must know these people who have left a deep mark on history. They may not all be towering heroes, but they are definitely major figures who changed the course of history and have already made their mark.
And these guys all have the same identity.
How could this not be shocking?
Lana lowered her eyes, seemingly deep in thought. Her gaze remained calm, but a hint of curiosity lurked beneath.
Compared to Lana's calm demeanor, the knight beside her was already getting restless.
"Are the Thirteen Heroes also included?"
The six great gods of the Slane Theocracy, or the eight Greed Kings who defeated the dragons, were all too distant for them.
History in this world has also experienced gaps, and the legends about the Eight Greed Kings or the Six Great Gods have become somewhat blurred, but the Thirteen Heroes is definitely a piece of historical information that everyone in the arena is very clear about.
Because it happened more than two hundred years ago.
This event is recorded in textbooks and some old books.
The Thirteen Heroes can be considered one of the most famous legendary figures in modern times.
It is said that more than two hundred years ago, there existed a powerful being in this world known as the "Demon God".
They are cruel and violent, fond of killing and plundering, and even more ferocious than the Eight Desire Kings in history who brought their personalities to the extreme.
Because of this existence, one civilization after another has been destroyed, and the world has fallen into a state of suffering.
At this time, nations rose up in resistance, united as one, and a group of powerful and skilled heroes emerged. They led the charge, resisted the evil gods, and ultimately succeeded in defeating all the demon gods, ending the chaos caused by them.
Among them, the thirteen most outstanding individuals were known as the Thirteen Heroes.
Chapter 428 Eight Fingers
It is precisely because of this that everyone knows a great deal about the Thirteen Heroes.
Such secrets are things that most people have never even heard of before, so it's perfectly normal for everyone to show curiosity when 4 mentions them now.
After all, it's like when you're a kid and you hear hero stories all the time, and then you're suddenly told that those so-called heroes have another identity. It's normal to be curious; everyone feels that way.
In response, Clem inquired, "Are all the Thirteen Heroes players?"
Iver glanced at Clem and casually replied, "No, of the thirteen heroes, only the leader is a player."
As he said this, Clem's eyes seemed to light up, as if to say that even ordinary people could reach the level of the Thirteen Heroes.
Iverie noticed the boy's expression, and after a moment of silence, she swallowed back the words she was about to say.
"Not just anyone can become a player."
She didn't say those words aloud, but that was a small glimmer of hope for the upright young man before her.
