Chapter 1438: Chapter 1016: The Second Hero (Part 2)

At the previous Elder’s Council, they had similar suspicions that Wu Heng’s rapid ascension to hero status might be due to mastering a method of advancement.

By following this method, a second hero could be replicated.

As the months passed, this matter was gradually forgotten by everyone.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a second hero suddenly emerged, and it was ’Viola’.

A former fugitive featured on wanted posters.

If any elder of the association became a hero, it would not be surprising, but for a fugitive to become a hero, it must be related to the Gold and Silver Island.

The attendant cautiously glanced at the Great Elder, whose face showed shock, and continued, "The Fifth Elder also said that the council’s previous decision was correct, and the investment in Wu Heng can be increased."

The Great Elder’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded slowly, "I understand. Do not disclose this matter outside."

"Yes!" The attendant replied and withdrew.

However, the Great Elder did not leave immediately. Instead, he sat in the room, deep in thought for a long while.

Only then did he slowly stand up, put away the Soundproof Pot, and head towards the adjoining reception room.

Upon returning to the reception room, the Archbishop was still sitting in a chair waiting, his impatience increasingly obvious. Seeing his return, he immediately said, "Bonifacius! Just say it directly, are you planning to obey the holy order, or follow the Spirit Awakening Sect to your death?"

Bonifacius’ polite smile also faded as he sat down opposite, "Archbishop, have you not received news about the Gold and Silver Island?"

The Archbishop frowned, not yet responding.

Bonifacius continued, "Why not wait a few days? The Holy Hall might send new instructions."

"Is that your reason for further delays?" The Great Elder abruptly stood up, "I will report to the Holy Hall truthfully, and you can await the fury of His Majesty and the Holy Seat!

Bonifacius said calmly, "No need to see me off."

"Hmph!" The Archbishop snorted coldly and stormed out.

...

Island Lord’s Mansion.

The figures of Wu Heng and Shanaela appeared in the courtyard of the Island Lord’s Mansion.

As they entered the living room, they heard a buzz of chatter from inside.

The maids and Xiao Xiao were surrounding ’Viola’, bombarding her with questions about her experience of becoming a hero.

The Three Ghosts were sitting not far away, smiling as they watched.

"Are you now invincible?"

"Is your attack still using smoke?"

"Now that you’re a hero, are you more powerful than your Smoke Demon Protector?"

"Yeah, why don’t you lure it over here, and we’ll capture it!"

Viola was asked to a state of slight embarrassment, her cheeks flushed, yet she couldn’t hide the excitement in her eyes. No matter how unpleasant some questions sounded, she answered them with a smile.

It wasn’t until the sound of Wu Heng’s footsteps approached that everyone suddenly fell silent, turning their gaze towards him in unison.

"Master!"

"Wu Heng~!"

"Leader, Lady Shanaela."

The Red-crowned Parrot fluttered its wings, squawking, "Leader~ Hero! Leader~ Hero!"

"Uncle, Aunt Viola became a hero." Xiao Xiao quickly flew over, speaking loudly.

"I saw from outside." Wu Heng’s gaze fell on Viola, "Congratulations on becoming a hero."

Viola immediately knelt on one knee, placing her right hand over her chest, performing a standard Knight’s salute of the Human Race, "I have become a hero, thanks to your nurturing, my lord."

Her voice was low, with a hint of tremor.

Wu Heng reached out and patted her shoulder, "As we agreed when you joined us."

"I am willing to die for you, my lord." Viola said softly.

Wu Heng laughed, "What nonsense! Now that you’re a hero, your life is more valuable."

"Yes!" Viola stood up, her eyes still filled with excitement.

A Hero~!

This is the ultimate dream of professionals in this world.

And Viola had achieved it; it still felt like a dream, somewhat unreal.

All those elders of associations and leaders of great powers stopped moving forward, yet she alone became a hero.

After signing the contract with Wu Heng, it happened in such a short time.

They sat in the living room, and Wu Heng took the cold tea offered by Mini, smiling as he asked, "How does it feel to become a hero?"

The other maids also looked over in unison.

Viola thought for a moment, "The magic power in my body feels endless, and there seems to be a new kind of energy, a power I’ve never felt before."

"This is the power of a hero. The reason heroes are strong is that ordinary professionals can’t kill them...." Wu Heng explained to Viola what he knew.

She listened intently, something she never had the opportunity to learn while serving as a Divine Punishment Church Guardian.

For his part, Wu Heng could only impart theoretical knowledge, as he couldn’t access Viola’s attributes, leaving her to explore by herself.

"Oh, right!" Wu Heng set down his teacup, "The association still owes me 12 Level 2 Merits. According to tradition, six Level 2 can be converted into one Level 1. You can decide what type of Special Items and tools you need then."

Viola’s breath quickened.

"Thank you, my lord."

The others at home also smiled along.

Xiao Xiao bragged, "The association’s Special Items are just ordinary, we have even better ones, right, Uncle?"

"We do!" Wu Heng replied to Viola, "I’ll tell you about them later."

"Yes, my lord."

At this moment, the courtyard door was knocked on, and Mini got up swiftly to open it, then quickly returned, saying, "Master, Miss Redi Li and some representatives from the Chamber of Commerce have sent gifts for Sister Viola, and a trusted aide of the Wood Elf said the Fifth Elder requests Sister Shanaela’s presence."
