MTLNOVEL Chapter 134
Chapter 75: The Three Legends and the Adventurers’ Discussion (Bonus)
“Um, so what’s happening right now?”
Miss Vilyric, sitting at the long table with her pet, looked at the line of unfamiliar faces and couldn’t quite grasp why things had taken such a dramatic turn.
After explaining their identities and purpose for being there, Miss Vilyric swiftly healed the few unfortunate souls knocked out by Xiao Guang, and they successfully infiltrated this rescue team.
Though it was likely that most were still suspicious of Vilyric and Xiao Guang’s identity, they had to swallow their doubts due to the massive gap in strength; but the Priestess didn’t care.
After freeing all the hostages who had been held in the cells and were no longer having their souls harvested, they headed outside and happened to run into Princess Liliya and others coming this way.
After the lead shadow guard briefly recounted the situation, with what seemed to be a casual hint from the Priestess, Liliya immediately understood her identity and coordinated with her.
However, the Princess was noticeably fixated on a certain pretty Little Dragon Daughter, staring suspiciously for quite a while. After all, Liliya had never seen this supposedly super strong blonde girl beside her teacher.
The team finally moved into the small courtyard where Vilyric had entered the orphanage, confirming there were no oversights before they turned back and signaled for the knight regiment outside to move in for cleanup.
Yet upon exiting, they found a few unfamiliar faces at the door.
One of them was the man before them.
“By the way, I haven’t formally asked the names of the two beautiful ladies yet? I am Furnal Stephens! Pleased to meet, haha!”
In the council chamber, the highest and largest of the Adventurers’ Guild, a black-haired man sitting next to the Priestess struck a pose that only he would think was cool, his peach blossom eyes sparking with what looked like electricity.
This was no metaphor; actual electric currents seemed to be emanating from his eyes.
He raised a hand to press down on a paw that the little dragon daughter had lifted into the air, while Vilyric turned her head away, looking utterly annoyed.
Though he seemed a bit odd and looked rather foolish, he was a well-known figure throughout the United Kingdom, notorious among adventurers.
Furnal Stephens—legendary adventurer, undoubted strongest among the three legends of the City of Courage, and even an idol in the hearts of countless people across the United Kingdom.
His life was more legendary than most legends.
He wielded a sword at five, reached copper level at seven, becoming the youngest adventurer in the kingdom’s history. By ten, he broke through to the earth level and five years later, he ascended to legend.
Now at 21, Furnal was not only the only son of a duke in the United Kingdom but also the future heir of a vast family. Additionally, he possessed an absurdly gifted ability called [Weapon Mastery].
Any object, even a mere stick, or a flower petal, could be turned into a weapon in Furnal’s hands.
He could immediately wield any weapon he laid his hands on, and within a few days, would become a master in that field.
This ability was so outrageous that even in [Fantasy World], when Liliya mentioned it, Vilyric found it hard to believe.
The unique [Divine Favor] in this world was indeed fascinating; both Furnal and Nastaia’s [Qi Observation] ability from Flame Dragon City left Vilyric baffled, as they operated on a principle that seemed entirely different from her understanding of power systems.
Moreover, Furnal, like Liliya, was a hybrid warrior possessing both magical and melee abilities, excelling in electrical magic attacks and swift movements, known as [Lightning Flash].
Vilyric could see that the so-called magical talent in this world was essentially just an inherent elemental affinity.
In other words, Furnal had both high lightning affinity and the combat talent of [Weapon Mastery]; no wonder he had developed such a notable reputation that was the object of envy.
Furnal had been an adventurer for over a decade, handling thousands of quests with an almost one hundred percent success rate, having cut down demons and cults that threatened the capital numerous times, effectively protecting the kingdom.
Vilyric observed that he was nearing the super level; if anyone in the kingdom were to reach that level next, it would undoubtedly be Furnal Stephens before her.
Perhaps Liliya might follow the path of a magical swordsman, influenced by this guy’s legendary deeds.
However, that did not justify the Priestess’s courteous demeanor toward him.
After all, he was too flashy and laid-back, standing in stark contrast to the proper Miss Fiery Blossom, lacking the aura befitting a legendary figure.
“Ahem, Mr. Furnal, I believe we already told you our names earlier, and the President is glaring at you.”
Vilyric pointed with a seemingly amused expression toward the head of the table—President Herbert, the last legendary adventurer of the City of Courage, the oldest and nearly fifty-year-old head of the Adventurers’ Guild.
And at that moment, his authoritative and enraged roar rang out perfectly.
“Furnal! Are you seriously flirting with female adventurers during the meeting again? Do you think I’m just retired and lying in a coffin? Keep this up, and you can get the hell out of here!”
Bang!
The old president slammed his callused hand on the table, causing a heavy moan of distress, startling the overly confident Mr. Lightning Flash, who almost fell off his chair.
“I’m very sorry!!”
Furnal quickly jumped up, bowing expertly in apology, but as he sat back down, he cheekily winked at the oblivious President Herbert, ignoring the dumbfounded expressions of Vilyric and her pet.
Clearly, he would dare to do it again.
“Well then, let’s continue the previous discussion. This time, my Adventurers’ Guild supporting the action of the Fifth Princess has been a remarkable success. Though there were some injuries, thankfully, not a single fatality, thanks to the blessings of the spirits. Honestly, it caught me a bit by surprise.”
President Herbert’s weathered gaze swept across the dozens of earth and sky-level adventurers present, all of whom were involved in the eradication of the [Throne of Immortality] base within the Iris Flower orphanage.
This group represented more than half of the core elite of the Adventurers’ Guild in the City of Courage.
From another perspective, they all stood within the camp of Princess Liliya Meikailande—supporters in her cause.
Legendary adventurer [Fiery Blossom], legendary adventurer [Lightning Flash] Furnal Stephens, and the president of the Adventurers’ Guild, legendary adventurer [Berserker] Herbert.
The three great legends of the City of Courage stood behind Liliya after the western battlefield concluded, allowing the princess to mobilize so many high-level adventurers for combat.
Herbert continued with a booming voice.
“This is all thanks to the earth-level adventurer, Holy Knight Miss Edwina, as well as the current Ink Steel-level adventurers Miss Vilyric and Miss Xiao Guang.”
“The achievements of Miss Edwina are well acknowledged, and the latter two… they were the ones who took the initiative to breach the enemy’s stronghold, locating and securing the prison where the hostages were held, ensuring their safety.”
“Furthermore, Miss Vilyric skillfully employed her healing magic, saving many injured hostages and fellow adventurers; she truly deserves great credit.”
The president exchanged glances with a certain princess sitting on the side, and with Vilyric looking perplexed, he made a unilateral decision.
“After discussion, the highest-level guild members unanimously agree to promote Miss Edwina, Miss Vilyric, and Miss Xiao Guang’s adventure rank to sky level!”
