Chapter 314 Heroic Epic
The Heroic Epic describes the life stories of many heroes in the world. Some led the army to defeat the alien race and save the country, some fought with their partners against the dragon that destroyed the city, and some held the holy sword and overthrew the huge evil organization...

The young men were filled with excitement as they read the book, and they hoped that one day they would be recorded in it and passed down through the ages.

However, the enthusiasm of youth will always fade away, just like this store manager. Returning to a dull life is also a good life.

"Every day I see adventurers going back and forth to the dungeon to adventure. Sometimes I feel envious. But it's a bit sad to think about some faces that I can see in the morning but not in the evening."

Although they did not know each other, the store manager would occasionally find that some familiar faces had never appeared again, and he could only sigh.

It's not easy to be a hero.

Luo Qiu smiled and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations. Hertzperona is the place where they can realize their heroic dreams. Isn't it good to realize your childhood dreams in this land?"

"Take you for example. Although you have retired, you still can't let go, so you chose to open a small restaurant here."

The store manager's eyes were sharp, a complete change from his previous honest and simple appearance. The aura he exuded was also completely different from before. With his aura bursting out, it was as if a battle-hardened warrior was staring at Luo Qiu.

"Don't get so excited. I just happened to come here because I was hungry. I have no other purpose except to eat. I just want to chat with you. Calm down."

Luo Qiu didn't even raise his eyelids and continued to eat the food in the bowl.

"Who are you? I've been here for so many years and no one has been able to see through me."

The store manager restrained his breath, sat opposite Luo Qiu, and turned back into the honest middle-aged man.

"A passing adventurer, coming to eat something and kill time."

"There are many adventurers passing by me, but you are the most special one." The manager looked at Luo Qiu deeply.

"Don't think too much. I don't mean to disturb your peace. It's not bad to be an ordinary person after being a hero for a long time. It's just that most people are not as open-minded as you. Otherwise, this place wouldn't be so lively."

After finishing his meal, Luo Qiu stretched himself, glanced at the store manager, and said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with retiring to the countryside. After fighting for a long time, you'll always get tired."

The store manager was silent, his thoughts were guessed by an outsider.

Luo Qiu did not say anything else, and continued to quietly flip through the "Heroic Epic". When he turned to a certain chapter, he paused and read:

"War Knight Morn has fought for the human kingdom of Alan for more than 20 years, killing countless alien invaders."

"Were you sent by His Majesty?" The store manager, Moon, frowned.

"Of course not." Luo Qiu closed the Heroic Epic and said, "Don't think too much. I just saw a human hero occasionally and wanted to come over to take a look and have a meal."

The store manager looked at Luo Qiu suspiciously, not knowing whether he should believe him.

"Okay, it's about time for me to go. Thank you for the hospitality." Luo Qiu stood up and threw down two gold coins.

"You gave too much," said the store manager.

"No need to give me the change. It's just entertainment expenses." Luo Qiu waved his hand and walked out without looking back.

"Who is he..." The store manager picked up the gold coins on the table, rubbed them in his hands, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes: "Why do I have a bad feeling, nothing will happen to the kingdom, Your Majesty..."

After leaving Morn, Luo Qiu couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Who would have known that the dignified 'War Knight' lived in seclusion in Hertzperona? But I guess his leisure time won't last long. The Kingdom of Alan won't be peaceful for too long. 'Yesterday' is a golden-level adventure team and has its own base in Hertzperona.

Many adventurers gathered in the courtyard of a magnificent western-style manor.

There are many adventurers who want to join 'Yesterday's Dusk'. After being screened by the ghost girl, there are thirteen people who are qualified to come here for assessment, ten of whom are gold-level adventurers and three of whom are shining gold-level adventurers.

"I'm glad that you all are here as our guests. Regardless of whether or not you succeed in joining 'Yesterday's Twilight', you will all be our friends forever. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to contact us."

The leader of 'Yesterday's Dusk' was a tall Stoneman warrior who was very good at defense. He had fought with glory-level adventurers before, and no matter how hard the opponent attacked, it was difficult to break through his defense.

Okas Blagya, the 'Heavy Shield', is the soul of 'Yesterday's Twilight'. He has been protecting his companions with his shield and has saved their lives many times in the dungeon.

Unfortunately, they encountered the Death Knight in the 'Dark Realm'. There was a curse on the Death Knight's sword, and Ocas could not defend against the curse. They also lacked the magic and props to purify the curse, so they were killed and fled in panic, and even one teammate died.

"Death Knight, wait for me. We will avenge Barros."

Ocas took a deep breath and suppressed his inner sadness and anger. The most urgent task now was to add fresh blood and then run in for a while before he could think about seeking revenge on the Death Knight.

"The content of the test is very simple. If you can defeat me one step by any means within two minutes, you will pass the test."

Okas announced the content of the assessment, making the adventurers who were preparing to participate in the assessment eager to try.

If they were to defeat Ocas, they might not have much confidence, after all, even a glory-level adventurer would find it difficult to do so. But if they were to just push him back one step, many people were still confident.

On the rooftop of the villa, the remaining members of 'Yesterday Evening' gathered together and watched the captain test the adventurers.

One of the members of Yesterday's Dusk, a half-elf youth, murmured to himself, "The captain's request is too high. Even a Shining Gold-level adventurer would have a hard time doing it. I'm afraid that only a Glory-level adventurer can barely do it."

"Ella, did you have any favorite candidates when you were recruiting this morning?"

"Well... how should I put it? If we follow the captain's request just now, most people may not be able to pass it, but there is one human who can..."

The ghost girl Ella frowned, and a conflicted expression appeared on her cute face.

"Humans? There aren't many strong humans. The golden-level one looks unfamiliar. He should have just arrived from the human kingdom. But he looks very ordinary." A short shadow-man thief came out from the shadows and made some comments.

"He's a little strange, I can't see through him," Ella said.

"Oh? Even your ghost clan's mind's eye can't see through him. It seems that he has magical items that can prevent detection." The half-elf man became interested.

"There are more than just this point, there are other places, but I can't tell..."

Ella thought for a long time and shook her head, then said, "Let's see how this group of people perform first. If nothing works out, I'll apply to the guild. I'll always be able to find the right person."

"Don't get your hopes up. The boss's shield isn't that easy to break."

The short Shadowman thief didn't seem optimistic about the adventurers below, even though there were three Gold-level adventurers.
