Chapter 427 - Chapter 427: Negotiations

As soon as the words fell, she quickly got a response.

"Here."

These were two voices, but the two voices were exactly the same.

The voices were literally identical, though two voices, they sounded as if they came from one person, with almost indistinguishable timbre and vocal cords.

Lakyus's gaze turned to the corner of the wall, where two figures darted out from a very hidden shadow, appearing before Lakyus.

They were twin sisters who looked exactly alike, petite in stature, and dressed in completely identical outfits.

The twin sisters were named Tia and Tina, and like Gagaran and Evileye, they were members of Blue Roses, the highest-ranked adamantite-class adventurers.

With this, all members of Blue Roses were assembled.

Cleric warrior Lakyus Alvein Dale Aindra, the muscular female warrior Gagaran, the magic caster Evileye, and the assassin twins, Tia and Tina.

These five were all the members of Blue Roses, one of only two adamantite-class adventurer teams in the Re-Estize Kingdom in the past, and now one of only four.

Gagaran looked over and grinned, "So, you two were here."

Her words carried a mocking tone, without the slightest concealment.

And this was actually the norm for the Blue Roses team.

It wasn't to say that just because they were teammates, they could get along harmoniously.

Like right now, for example.

Responding to Gagaran, the twins expressionlessly retorted, "I don't want to be told that by Gagaran, who's so late."

"We've been waiting for you for so long."

"What were you doing?"

"Couldn't it be that Gagaran was out scouting for males again, looking for a man to sleep with, which is why you were delayed?"

"You should probably tone it down a bit, Gagaran."

"You know, there isn't a man in this world who can handle you."

The two sang in harmony, like a duet, their back-and-forth questions and answers gradually turning Gagaran's face as black as the bottom of a pot. Gagaran was constantly teased because of her physique.

Gagaran's lips twitched, and she said with some annoyance, "You two, know when to stop! No matter what, I'm still better than you two."

"How dare you say that, Gagaran." The two replied in unison, their momentum not at all inferior to Gagaran's burly frame.

Gagaran directly attacked, "With your small bodies, if you went to bed with a man, he'd probably be worried about crushing you two little girls."

The two didn't change their expressions at all, continuing to verbally assault Gagaran, "I think the one who'd be crushed is the man you fancy, right? Who can handle a physique like yours!"

"How pitiful, Gagaran, have you realized that you're no longer human? I've always been curious about how you grew up like this."

"Could it be that you're a dragon? Your true form is actually a giant dragon, that's terrifying."

"Oh, no, it's not necessarily dragons that grow up like this, gorillas can also grow up like this."

"So, Gagaran, could it be that you're a gorilla?"

Gagaran's fists clenched, her expression becoming quite interesting. She was no match for the two's barrage of ridicule, and finally, after hearing the last sentence, she roared, "Who's the gorilla! You two little runts, don't push your luck!"

The roar was deafening to everyone present, and Lakyus, who had been watching the fun, finally couldn't help but speak up, "Hey, you three, pay attention to the occasion. Princess is here, don't say so many strange things! If you corrupt the princess, I'll be held accountable."

To this, Climb nodded repeatedly, seemingly also protesting against Gagaran and the others for speaking nonsense in front of Renner.

But these words made Renner quite dissatisfied.

"I'm already sixteen, can you stop treating me like a child?" Renner puffed out her cheeks, protesting.

But the direction of this protest was quite strange.

"Alright, alright, I know you're sixteen, but this kind of thing is indeed too early for you." Lakyus said in an unquestionable tone, making Renner even more dissatisfied.

However, after Lakyus said this, everyone restrained themselves, and those kinds of explicit words were never spoken again.

Lakyus was now intrigued and said directly, "What information did you gather? About Roa Greyrat."

The princess, who had previously shown a dissatisfied expression, now had her eyes slightly lit up, seemingly very interested in this person Roa.

Gagaran and Evileye exchanged glances, then looked at Lakyus together, seemingly unsure whether to mention this matter in front of Renner.

Obtaining information was never easy, especially for someone as elusive as Roa.

To this, Lakyus simply smiled faintly, "Speak, there are no outsiders here."

Gagaran hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "I just, um, earlier this morning, met Roa and Captain Gazef."

"The reason for this was that Brain had suffered an unprecedented blow and was in a slump, so Captain Gazef thought of Lord Roa and personally came to the Shining Golden Pavilion to invite Roa to help Brain regain his confidence."

Lakyus tilted her head in confusion, not quite understanding.

"So, what information did you get?"

Gagaran had to continue, "We happened to meet the two of them and watched Roa and Brain's exchange from the side."

Lakyus was now intrigued, her green eyes showing a different color, and she asked, "What do you think of Roa's strength?"

"Very strong, stronger than you, Captain." Gagaran replied without hesitation.

This answer surprised everyone.

Especially the two little lolis standing to the side, who spoke up first, "How is that possible."

"What is Captain's strength, how could he be stronger than Captain?"

The two lolis began to defend Lakyus.

However, the protagonist of this evaluation, Lakyus, did not show any anger on her face, she was thoughtful.

"Stronger than me?"

Lakyus pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, "Tell me the detailed information."

Gagaran then truthfully reported the information about the exchange between the two, especially spending a lot of time describing the one sword strike that Roa used.

The feeling of seeing that sword for the first time, the moment Roa struck, and the immersive feeling of terror, were all described in extreme detail.

By the end, even Lakyus frowned.

From Gagaran's description, she could feel a strong sense of oppression.

"A bit tricky."

Lakyus exhaled, her emerald eyes showing a few traces of solemnity.

"If it's really as you say, then this guy's strength can be said to have surpassed me."

Lakyus made this assessment.

Lakyus was a very strong person, she was a faith-based magic caster, could use fifth-tier resurrection magic, and was herself a descendant of the Thirteen Heroes.

Her equipment was even one of the four magic swords held by the Black Knight, one of the Thirteen Heroes, the magic sword Kilineiram (the beginning of Lakyus's chuunibyou), such a girl, her combat power was impeccably strong.

But even she was not invincible, and in fact, there were many people in this world who were stronger than her, and Lakyus was aware of this.

"Then, if you went all out against Roa, what are your chances of winning?"

Lakyus directly focused her gaze on Evileye, staring at her without blinking.

Among the team, the strongest person was not her, Lakyus, perhaps to outsiders, the captain, Lakyus, should be the strongest, but in reality, it was not.

The petite girl in front of her was the true combat power of Blue Roses.

Evileye was the last to join Blue Roses, but she was the de facto strongest among Blue Roses, her strength even far surpassing Lakyus. In some ways, the two were not even on the same level, because Evileye's background was extraordinary, and her strength could not be calculated using human standards.

If the strength of the two was divided by the adventurer task request level, the task that Lakyus could complete alone was probably around level 80.

But Evileye was different, even if she was given a task of level 130 or higher, she could complete it with ease.

In other words, in terms of reputation alone, Evileye had the ability to complete a feat like Roa's.

However, Evileye, who was held in such high expectations by everyone, gave a rather shocking answer after thinking for a moment.

"I'm not his opponent, I have no chance of winning."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

First of all, the two lolis couldn't sit still and said directly, "How is that possible, even Evileye is not his opponent, is that guy still human?"

"Could it be the same as Evileye?"

Under Evileye's unhappy gaze, the two lolis said these words in an incredible tone.

Evileye actually hated it when others talked about her race, but in this situation, she just sighed and didn't pursue it further.

If it were the usual Evileye, she would definitely give Tia and Tina a punch on the forehead each to express her dissatisfaction.

But right now

Lakyus noticed that Evileye showed a hesitant look and asked directly, "Do you have any other guesses? Evileye, just say it."

Evileye's gaze turned to Renner on the side again and said, "Regarding Roa's identity, I actually have a bold guess."

Everyone listened attentively, and the previously noisy Tia and Tina also stopped talking, looking well-behaved.

Evileye continued, "I suspect that he may be a person who has inherited the bloodline of the existence called 'Player'."

[Player].

The change to this world cannot be said to be insignificant.

This was also the deepest secret hidden in this world, and very few people could know this secret, but it was clear that Evileye was one of the insiders.

However, when the people in the field heard the word [Player], they showed a confused expression, it was clear that even as adamantite-class adventurers, the truth they had come into contact with was very little.

Evileye had to explain, "Players are a very special existence, they are born with extremely powerful power, have extraordinary potential, can quickly become stronger at a staggering speed, their strength far exceeds ordinary people, and can even be called monsters."

"Forget it, you may not know about Players, but you must know the Six Gods who once descended on the Slane Theocracy, the Eight Greed Kings who defeated the Dragon Lords in the past and ended their rule over the world, and the Thirteen Heroes you are familiar with, right?"

"And the people mentioned above are an existence called [Player]."

Everyone was in an uproar.

They may not know what a Player is, but they must know these people who have left a strong mark on history, they are not all great heroes who stand tall, but they are definitely big figures who have changed the historical pattern and direction.

And such guys actually have a unified identity.

How could this not be shocking.

Renner lowered her eyes, seemingly thinking about something, her gaze was still calm, but at this moment, there was a hint of curiosity hidden underneath.

Compared to Renner's calm attitude, the knight next to Renner could no longer sit still.

"The Thirteen Heroes too?"

Speaking of the Six Gods of the Slane Theocracy or the Eight Greed Kings who defeated the Dragon Lords, these were a bit too far away for them.

There had also been a break in the history of this world, and the rumors about the Eight Greed Kings or the Six Gods had become somewhat vague, but the Thirteen Heroes were definitely a piece of historical information that everyone in the field was very clear about.

Because it happened more than two hundred years ago.

Textbooks or some ancient books recorded this matter.

The Thirteen Heroes, that could be said to be the most famous group of legendary figures in modern times.

It was said that more than two hundred years ago, there existed in this world a powerful existence called "Demon Gods".

They were cruel and tyrannical, liked to kill and plunder, and were even more ferocious than the Eight Greed Kings, who had brought their personal character to the extreme in history.

Because of such existences, one civilization after another was destroyed, and the world fell into a sea of suffering.

At this time, various countries rose up in resistance, everyone united and worked together, and a group of powerful and skilled heroic figures emerged, they took the lead and resisted the evil gods, and finally successfully defeated all the Demon Gods, ending this Demon God Rebellion.

And among them, the thirteen most outstanding people were called the Thirteen Heroes.
