“Uh, so what’s the situation now?”
Miss Violet, sitting at the long table with her pet, looked at the group of unfamiliar faces lined up on both sides and couldn’t quite understand why things had taken such a dramatic turn.
After explaining their identities and the purpose of coming here, and with Violet making a move, rapidly healing the unfortunate guys who had been knocked down by Xiao Guang, they successfully blended into this group of rescue forces.
Although the other party probably still doubted Violet and Xiao Guang’s identities, they had to endure silently due to the vast difference in strength. However, the priestess didn’t mind.
After rescuing all the hostages from the prison, and with no more prisoners being soul-plundered, the group left and coincidentally met Princess Lilya and others rushing towards them.
After the lead Shadow Guard briefly explained the situation, and with the seemingly casual hint from the priestess, Lilya immediately understood her identity and cooperated accordingly.
However, Princess Lilya was clearly staring at a certain beautiful dragon girl, looking suspicious for quite a while. After all, Lilya had never seen this allegedly powerful golden-haired girl beside her master.
The team eventually advanced to the small backyard where Violet had just entered the orphanage. After confirming that there were no omissions, they turned back and sent a signal for the external knight group to take over the aftermath.
However, upon leaving, they found a few new faces at the entrance.
One of them was the person right in front of them.
“By the way, I haven’t formally introduced myself to the two lovely ladies. My name is Farnell Stephens. It’s a pleasure to meet you both, haha!”
In the adventurers’ highest and only council chamber, a black-haired man sat next to the priestess, striking a pose that only he seemed to find handsome. His peach blossom eyes sparked with electricity, literally emitting a “buzzing” sound.
This is not a metaphor, there is actually electricity coming out of his eyes.
Although he looked a bit strange and seemed a bit foolish, in the Human United Kingdom, his reputation was illustrious, and almost all adventurers had heard of his exploits.
Farnell Stephens—a legendary adventurer, unquestionably the strongest of the three legends in the Courage City, and even an idol in the hearts of countless people in the entire Human United Kingdom.
His life is even more legendary than a legend.
At the age of five, he could wield a sword, at seven, he reached the bronze level, becoming the youngest adventurer in the history of the kingdom. At ten, he broke through the earth, and five years later, he ascended to legend.
At the age of 21 this year, Farnell is not only the only son of a certain duke in the Human United Kingdom, the future heir of a large family, but he is also blessed by the heavens with an extraordinary talent called “Weapon Mastery.”
Any item, even just a broken wooden stick or a flower petal, in Farnell’s hands, could become a weapon of battle.
Any weapon he picks up, he can immediately use, and after playing with it for a few days, he can become a master in that field.
This ability, even in the world of “Illusory World,” is considered quite extraordinary. When Lilya mentioned this, even Violet found it hard to believe.
The unique ability of the 【God’s Favor】 in this world is indeed interesting. Whether it’s Farnell or Anastasia the Lord of Flame Dragon City with the ability of 【Aura Observation】, Violet completely doesn’t understand the principles of how these powers operate. It’s truly another kind of system’s power.
Furthermore, like Lilya, Farnell also possesses both magical and melee abilities as a hybrid warrior. He excels in attacking with lightning magic and rapid movement, known as 【Thunderlight】.
Violet has already figured out that the so-called magical talent in this world is actually the inherent elemental affinity one is born with.
In other words, Farnell has both a high affinity for lightning and the combat talent of 【Weapon Mastery】, no wonder he has gained such a formidable reputation, making people envy and jealous.
Farnell has been an adventurer for over a decade, completing thousands of quests with a success rate close to one hundred percent. He has repeatedly slain demons and cult organizations that invaded the capital, truly serving as the kingdom’s guardian.
Violet can see that he is very close to the transcendental level. If anyone in the kingdom is most likely to reach that level, it is undoubtedly Farnell Stephens.
Perhaps Lilya might follow the path of a magic swordsman, influenced by this guy’s legendary deeds.
However, this should not be an excuse for the priestess to show false colors towards him.
After all, this guy is just too unconventional, always being carefree. He stands in stark contrast to the solemn Miss Crimson Flame, who carries herself with dignity, and lacks the appearance one would expect from a legendary powerhouse.
“Cough, Mr. Farnell, haven’t we already told you our names before? Also, President Herbert is glaring at you,” Violet pointed to the front of the conference table with a half-smile. The man named Herbert was the last legendary adventurer in the Courage City, and he was also the oldest and most experienced adventurer’s guild leader, nearing his 50s.
Meanwhile, the stern and furious high-decibel roar from the other side was conveniently timed to erupt.
“Farnell! Are you damn flirting with female adventurers during the meeting again? Do you think I’ve retired and laid myself into a coffin? Keep it up, and I’ll kick you out!”
Bang!
The old guild president’s hand, calloused and resembling a fan, slammed heavily on the table, creating a mournful sound that startled the triumphant Mr. 【Thunderlight】, almost causing him to tumble off his chair.
“I’m very sorry!!”
Farnell promptly stood up, quickly and skillfully bowed in apology, but when he sat back down, he ignored President Herbert, winked mischievously Violet and her pet.
Clearly, he would dare to do it again next time.
“So, let’s continue with the previous topic. This time, the Adventurers’ Guild supported the actions of Her Highness the Fifth Princess, and it can be considered a complete success. Although there were some injuries, fortunately, with the protection of the spirits, no one lost their lives. To be honest, this is somewhat beyond my expectations.”
Herbert’s stern and seasoned gaze swept across the dozens of adventurers present, all of whom were informed participants in the assault on the 【Eternal Throne】 stronghold within the Iris Orphanage.
They were also the majority of the core elite of the entire Courage City Adventurers’ Guild.
From another perspective, they could be considered supporters of Princess Lilya Melchior, the Fifth Princess—supporters standing on her side.
Legendary adventurer Miss Crimson Flame, legendary adventurer Mr. Thunderlight Farnell Stephens, and the Adventurers’ Guild president, legendary adventurer Mr. Berserker Herbert.
The three legends of the Courage City all stood behind Lilya after the conclusion of the Western Frontier Battle, allowing Princess Lilya to mobilize so many high-level adventurers for the joint operation.
Herbert continued to speak loudly.
“All thanks to the Earth-tier adventurer, Miss Holy Knight Edwina, as well as the current Mithril-tier adventurers Miss Violet and Miss Xiao Guang.”
“Miss Edwina’s achievements are evident to all, and as for the latter two… they took the initiative to infiltrate the enemy’s stronghold, located and guarded the prison where the hostages were held, ensuring their safety.”
“In addition, Miss Violet, with her exquisite healing magic, saved many injured hostages and fellow adventurers. Her contributions are truly remarkable.”
The guild president exchanged a glance with a certain princess who was listening on the side. Under Violets’s puzzled expression, they unilaterally made a decision.
“After discussion, the high echelons of the guild unanimously agree to promote Miss Edwina, Miss Violet, and Miss Xiao Guang to the Sky-tier, bypassing the usual promotion process!”
