Manga Born to Be King

　　Then Fituria, as Melti wanted, put her on top of her head and sat down.

　　"So high, so high!"

　　Melty was very excited.

　　"Please step back a little bit."

　　I saw Fittoria grow to nearly [-] meters high... It is almost no different from a high-rise building.

　　"It's amazing! It's amazing!"

　　Melty's voice was a little indistinct from the distance, was it okay to stay that high? .

Chapter 664

　　At the end of the day, Raphtalia, Philo, and Melti all slept soundly in the bird's nest prepared by the Philo birds.Fittoria, like last night, ran to talk to Nangong Xiao who was still awake by herself.

　　"what?"

　　"I want to continue the topic that was unfinished yesterday..."

　　"you are annoying."

　　"Have you really tried...to get along with them?"

　　After being asked by Fittoria, Nangong Xiao fell silent.When he mentioned the other three heroes, he suddenly flashed a bad premonition, as if something was about to happen.

　　"Furthermore, Fittoria has a lot to do."

　　"What do you have to do?"

　　"I have to save the world from the clutches of the waves. The waves don't just happen where people live."

　　"No-one's-are there sand clocks too?"

　　Fittoria nodded.

　　"Fitoria is in charge of that kind of place. If possible, I hope you can come and help. Please sit down and have a good talk, there is no extra time in this world for the hero - to continue to quarrel."

　　"How do you say it seems like heroes often fight with each other."

　　"I've seen the same thing happen over and over again over the long years."

　　"Ok."

　　"There is another thing for you to remember."

　　"What is it?"

　　"If the tide strikes in a state where the Four Holy Spirits are incomplete, the tide will become relatively difficult to deal with. Instead, it is better to kill all the Four Holy Heroes while the tide temporarily stops and then summon them again. more favorable approach.”

　　In other words, is it a burden to the world every time a hero dies?

　　Fittoria stood up and turned around and said, "Although I don't know which wave will happen after the first wave, the moment will come when this world will be forced to sacrifice all their lives. The hero will participate in that battle, but he will be forced to make a choice. And Fittoria is waiting for that moment to come."

　　"choose?"

　　"It's a dilemma for the people or the world. If you can't live in peace with other heroes and you want to give up your mission, you will try to live until that moment. If you choose to protect the world, you will be able to complete your mission despite the huge sacrifices involved. ."

　　"Then what if the choice is for the people?"

　　"It was a thorny road. However, the heroes of the past all hoped that they would choose that road, but it seems that they cannot do it at all. It is really difficult to cross this dangerous road with the strength of one person alone."

　　"How much do you know? Listen carefully."

　　"Fittoria has forgotten many things. But I only remember...Saving the world and saving the people are two different things."

　　The world and the people are two different things?

　　From Fitria's point of view, I would feel that the life and death of human beings have nothing to do with me.So what does it mean for the world?

　　Nangongxiao knew that she was referring to the tide, but she couldn't understand the other meanings hidden in her words.All in all, there is a moment that is destined to come.

　　Even if it is said that he is fighting for the people, he believes that he has no obligation to stand up for the people.

　　"I'll leave everything to you..."

　　Fittoria cuddled on top of him with the brightest smile she'd ever known.For some reason, her figure looked like a child who was about to cry.

　　Fittoria once said that she was raised by the brave.And where is the brave man now?Presumably either returning to the world where he belonged, or dying long ago in the distant past.

　　(Does Fittoria think I look a lot like her adoptive parents?)

　　For Fituria, the promise with the heroes of the past... may be her only hope of survival.The promise to protect the world has become the driving force behind these long years.Then her determination to realize her mission is naturally not difficult to understand.

　　In the long years, how many times has she established a relationship with human beings?In the face of this hopeless world, Fituria must have had the experience of being deceived and despairing.

　　After a while, Fituria let out a deep breathing sound similar to Filo's, and fell asleep leaning on him.

　　"Thanks for your care!"

　　Melti and Philo waved their goodbyes energetically.Early the next morning, Fituria said that it was almost time to leave, and instructed everyone to get on the carriage.After arriving at the destination, Fittoria turned into an ordinary Philo bird, raised her wings and waved her hands, and ran away from the scene.

　　What caught my eye now was the stone-built fortress that was responsible for monitoring the border.The sentries patrolled back and forth on the fortress, monitoring the surrounding movement. There were not many pedestrians coming and going. The sentries stationed at the gate were busy checking the goods carried by the carriage.

　　"Really, the vigilance is extraordinarily strict."

　　"Is it because we want to prevent us from absconding? The number of soldiers is less than that of the Northeast Customs, so I should be snickering."

　　"That's right..."

　　Nangong Xiao ran straight to the gate.In order to inquire about information, he decided to ask someone to ask.

　　"Hey, what happened recently?"

　　When the soldiers saw Nangong Xiao, they immediately became vigilant.

　　"The devil who killed the three heroes has appeared!"

　　"What? I only killed one."

　　"It was you who killed them...I wouldn't believe you even if I killed them!"

　　"......"

　　The bad premonition in my heart really came true.

　　(Although I don’t know if it’s a good thing done by the trash king or the Sanyong Cultists, but there must be someone who blames me behind it.)

　　A strange applause came into my ears, and then I only felt a strong magical pressure.

　　At this time, the feathers on Filo's back suddenly stood upright, and instantly transformed into the form of the Filo bird queen. First, he quickly rushed back to Melty and pulled her to his back, and then reached out to Raphtalia who was about to become invisible. .

　　The beam of light poured directly onto Nangong Xiao.The surrounding area has turned into a piece of scorched earth. The location of the fortress that originally guarded the border has now been turned into a dilapidated ruin, and a huge meteor crater centered on Nangong Xiao appeared on the ground.On the periphery of this crater, there is a large group of soldiers, staring at everyone with malicious smiles.

　　"This, what is this..."

　　"Is it still safe after being subjected to the High Group Synthesis Magic [Sanctions]? As expected of a shield demon."

　　Turning his eyes to the source of the sound, He saw the Pope who had appeared at the church in the town area to greet the Four Braves, with a kind smile on his face.At the back stood dozens of guys who looked like church-related people, including a few knights.

　　The Pope kept smiling.He exuded a strange temperament, and that smile seemed to remain unchanged even if someone died in front of him, just like a mask.In short, although there were slight changes in his face, he couldn't tell what was going on in his mind at all—probably that's how he felt.

　　Thinking back carefully, Tian Mulian and Chuan Chengshu were brutally murdered by unknown people, and this guy was probably the mastermind behind the scenes.

......................................

　　"What I believe in is the brave man who saves the people and saves the world from the crisis of the tide. As for the brave man who causes problems in various places and even despises the believers, they are all fakes."

　　The Pope replied as if gossip was commonplace.

　　"Well, that's right. Everything is for the sake of this country, and even for the holy war in the world. This is a demon of shield that this church has stepped forward to expel the people who are leading the way to deceive the people, and three people who have shaken the foundation of the people's faith. Fake hero, so that the authority of this church and the battle will be more stable."

　　"Is it a fake hero..."

　　Hearing Nangong Xiao's muttering, the Pope's face was slightly distorted, and he responded unhappily: "That's right... Fake heroes who have caused various problems in various places have caused the country's belief to be shaken. The fake sword hero detonated the spread of the epidemic and disrupted the ecology. system; the hero of the fake gun liberated the sealed monster; the hero of the fake bow abused his authority and abused the believers of this religion.”

　　Although I don't know what good things Kawasumi Shu has done, those vile lords who set heavy tax rates are all rich, and they may be very keen to donate to the church.

　　"That's why I started to clean up the fake sword and bow hero Luo who started a pointless investigation!"

　　The Pope said this with a natural look on his face.

　　"I lured the sword and bow to the designated locations, and then launched the "sanction" to completely wipe out their existence. This is also the guidance of God."

　　Tian Muren and Chuan Chengshu seemed to feel that this incident was too far-fetched, so they launched an investigation on their own.Unexpectedly, the two of them were one step ahead of them, and unfortunately they were attacked and killed...

　　The Pope smiled and ordered his subordinates to bring their weapons.Its surface is decorated with intricate silver embellishments, and in the center is a square gem that doesn't feel good, similar to a high-end weapon that will only appear in the later stages of the game... that is, the holy sword?

　　"Accept God's punishment!"

Chapter 665

　　"Accept God's punishment!"

　　The Pope raised his sword high, and even though he was still a long way from Nangong Xiao, he slashed straight down.Then He saw a shock wave coming straight towards him along the ground, he raised his hand to block the attack, and the shock wave left an obvious huge crack on the ground.

　　Melti explained: "That weapon is an ancient legacy of people trying to replicate the weapon wielded by the legendary hero...why was that weapon...it should have been lost hundreds of years ago... …”

　　"It wasn't lost, it was stolen, right? It was stolen by the Sanyong Church."

　　"Since there is such a thing, why are you summoning a hero! Can't you easily defeat the tide by mass-producing that sword?"

　　Melty shook her head.

　　"It might be enough to match the legendary weapon based on its pure attack power... But logically, it should also have to pay a relatively large amount of power."

　　"Is it seven-nine-seven?"

　　"Well, it takes hundreds of people a month to use the magic power. And the current technology can't be mass-produced... It has existed in the world since the age of mythology, in other words, it is a legendary weapon! This is the cultists. The product that has been poured into mana day after day, was brought out for this holy war. Now is the moment to start the holy war!"

　　Holy war...?Really flawless rehearsal.

　　"Then, the exercise is almost over, and the next step is to use real strength!"

　　The Pope pointed his sword forward, and the sword in his hand turned into a long spear.It's just that although the shape of the weapon has changed, it still does not change its luxurious style.

　　"Sword, spear, bow... Which weapon type should I use to purify you? Besides, the power of the cultists is limited, so I'll send you to the west with one blow."
