## Chapter 231: The Three Heroes of Lut Gholein

"Pfft—"

The milk tea half-swallowed in my throat took a sharp turn as I was startled, heading towards my windpipe. I quickly covered my mouth and nose. Fortunately, it seemed no one noticed my loss of composure.

At this moment, Merchant B, sitting opposite Merchant A, spoke. He looked at Merchant A with contempt, as if the other man had come from Mars.

"Brothers, is your brain broken? How can you ask such an Idiot question? Everyone, even a three-year-old child, knows about the Three Heroes of Lut Gholein now."

"..."

Let's go, I can't stay in this Place.

I put my cloak and hood back on, preparing to stand up.

"You're not allowed to leave!!"

The Little Ghost in the necklace suddenly shouted. Her hazy, squinted eyes suddenly sparkled, like a hungry Fox spotting its Prey.

Damn it!! My teeth itched with anger. What's with this damned Compatibility? Why did this Little One wake up at this exact moment? It's a coincidence, just like the Protagonist in a Master Detective novel, where trouble happens wherever they go.

"I said, haven't you heard it countless times already? Aren't you tired of it?" I covered my forehead, feeling helpless.

"Hehe~~, how could I get tired of hearing it? Even for the same matter, different people have different views in their hearts. Isn't it interesting to see what others say?"

"How could it be interesting? Where is it interesting!!!" I finally couldn't help but burst out.

"Three Heroes of Lut Gholein, Three Heroes, Three Heroes. Why did this Sanctuary invent such vulgar Titles? It's like those vulgar Titles that are rampant in books, like the Four Heavenly Kings, Eight Great Masters, Ten Heavenly Rankings, which get dismissed by readers as soon as they appear?"

"Is it vulgar? I don't think so." The Little Ghost looked at me with her beautiful, hazy eyes, propped her chin on her hand, and shook her Little Head back and forth.

"I think it's very vulgar. I'm leaving, I have to leave this Ghost Place no matter what." I made a move to stand up.

"If you dare to leave, I'll Shout. Imagine a Man's Body emitting a Woman's Voice. Maybe before tomorrow, your Identity will be listed as the Fourth Hero. Hehe, that seems quite interesting too~~"

The Little Ghost's rippling Gaze became even more charming. It was as if she was saying: Go on, try to leave! That light smile with pursed lips, that noble and Holy smile, that harmless innocence, in my eyes, exuded an Aura more Evil than a Demon King.

"Why did I attract an evil like you?" I sat down with a thud, my Body slumping weakly on the table.

"That's a good girl. Come, let's listen carefully to what they're saying."

She revealed a victorious and satisfied Smile, refusing to give me, the defeated, even a shred of Pity.

At this point, Merchant A and Merchant B had begun an in-depth discussion about the Three Heroes.

"Among the Three Heroes, I still think Lady Shaerna is the most amazing," Merchant A said, his face full of longing.

"That's right, and don't forget, Lady Shaerna is hailed as the Rogue Queen. She's the first person in hundreds of years to train alone, and also the only one to challenge and defeat the Great Demon King Andariel alone. They say in the entire Rogue Encampment, no Adventurers dares to walk alongside her," Merchant B added, his face full of worship.

"Huh? But I heard there's another Master in the Rogue Encampment who is not much inferior to Lady Sha'erna, and is very close to her. They say that in the last battle when Monsters suddenly attacked the Rogue Encampment, he also defeated another Demon King, Belial, alone," Merchant A's face revealed a suspicious expression.

"Tch, just hearsay. It must be a Rumor created by that guy to show off. How could there be a second person as outstanding as Lady Sha'erna in this Sanctuary? Looking at History, it's easy to find that in any era, there can only be one top-tier Hero," Merchant B said.

Speaking of which, Merchant B swept away the worldly look on his face, stood up emotionally agitated, put his foot up on the chair, puffed out his chest, leaned forward, pointed his finger to the sky, and talked grandly, as if commanding the world.

"Exactly, exactly, you spoke right to my Heart. I knew long ago that was absolutely impossible. It must be some shameless Adventurers trying to show off by using Lady Sha'erna's name." Merchant A was immediately stunned by Merchant B's suddenly unleashed Dominating Aura and couldn't help but repeatedly agree.

"Wow!! You're being looked down upon."

The Little Ghost, who had heard the entire Dialogue clearly from the side, looked at me with ill intentions.

"It doesn't Matter," I said lightly, sipping a mouthful of tea.

"Wow!! Impossible, Xiao Fan, how could your Heart be so broad?" Seeing my calm and composed appearance, the Little Ghost lowered her Head with a look of defeat.

"Hmph~, just boring jealousy. Ugly jealousy and malicious cursing towards someone who is close to the Idol they worship. Truly boring," I gazed into the Distance, saying in a world-weary tone, as if I had seen through worldly affairs.

"How... how could that be... Xiao Fan, how could your Image be so tall? Ugh~~" The Little Ghost, stunned by my suddenly burst forth sense of maturity and stability, unwillingly let out a Wail.

Although I said that, I would absolutely not tell the Little Ghost that for a moment just now, I was planning how to instigate Xiao Xue to strip these two damned Merchants naked and throw them into the crowd.

Older Sister Sha'erna...

Actually, I already knew. She arrived in Lut Gholein two months ago. Unfortunately, at that time, I was busy running around chasing Fallen, and I deliberately avoided meeting her—not for some boring reason like hiding my Identity, but because I didn't want her to know about the Quest I was doing now. If she found out, with Older Sister Sha'erna's Character, she would definitely be furious with me and Kashya, and it would be unavoidable for her to intervene.

From the moment I took over this Quest from Older Sister Sha'erna, I had already made up my Realization. I couldn't let her fall into more cruel Infighting again. One pair of hands stained with the Blood of Kindred is enough. This is my Thought, and also Kashya's Request.

So, on one hand, it was intentional on my part. On the other hand, Older Sister Sha'erna simply didn't know I had come to Lut Gholein. The entire Western Kingdom is so big, how easy is it to meet?

"By the way, Brothers, listen to me, I saw Lady Sha'erna in Oasis City a few days ago!!" Merchant A said, revealing the news with a proud look.

Oasis City? My Heart moved. I almost couldn't suppress the strong longing in my Heart, wishing I could rush over immediately and meet her. How brilliant would the gentle Smile she revealed only to me be at the moment of meeting? Older Sister Sha'erna's every frown and smile rolled around Within the Mind. From the moment we first met at the Archery Range, as I thought about it, my face couldn't help but reveal a silly Smile.

"How is that possible?" Merchant B's expression was less disbelief and more Jealousy and hatred.

"Why would I lie to you?" Merchant A's face bloomed with a Smile of pride from the bottom of his Heart.

"You guy splashed by God's foot-washing water, quickly tell me, what does Lady Sha'erna look like?" Merchant B asked, almost roaring.

"How should I describe it? As expected of the Rogue Queen... No, she should be called our Queen of Lut Gholein," Merchant A revealed an infatuated expression.

Queen? I wonder if that damned fat Pig Az will cry when he hears that? But even if he cries, there's nothing he can do. He and Older Sister Sha'erna are not on the same Level at all.

"Awe-inspiring, that Aura that couldn't be looked at directly, Eyes so cold they could Freeze the Earth, beauty that would make Angels feel inferior..."

"Specifically! Tell me specifically!!" Merchant B urged excitedly.

"..."

"Why aren't you talking? You damned guy, how much Money? Tell me. I'll pay."

"..."

"If you don't speak, I'll get angry at you." Merchant B's Eyes really turned red. It seemed what he said was true.

"Didn't I say? It's simply impossible to look directly..." After being immersed for a long time, Merchant A sighed.

"It wasn't just me, everyone around was the same. Not one dared to raise their Head. How should I describe this feeling? Although I really wanted to raise my Head and take another good look, I always felt that someone like me, even one more look would be a blasphemy against Lady Sha'erna. Also, if Lady Sha'erna found out I was looking at her, I felt like I would definitely be killed...

Anyway... in short, it was an Aura that made people not dare to raise their Head and look again."

Merchant A flusteredly tried to describe the feeling at the time. Finally, he realized his limited ability and mumbled like a rogue.

"Ah—, I wish I could meet our Your Highness someday. Even if it's just a glance from afar."

Merchant B let out a light sigh that seemed to understand Merchant A's feelings, his face full of longing.

For quite a while after that, Merchant A and Merchant B were immersed in daydreaming. The silly Smile on their faces, anyone with a discerning Eye could tell at a glance, they were definitely putting themselves in the role of the Hero Protagonist of some Book, and putting Older Sister Sha'erna into the role of the Princess.

Shallow, truly too shallow, simply unbearably vulgar, hopeless, trash that only produces carbon dioxide and pollutes the Atmosphere. I angrily looked at the two of them with contempt. Older Sister Sha'erna is mine, don't even think about it, daydreaming is not allowed either!

As if sensing my Resentment, Merchant A and Merchant B quickly sobered up. After discovering the expression of Fantasy still lingering on each other's faces, they gave a knowing Smile like real Men. Feeling that the Compatibility of their foolishness had increased quite a bit, they couldn't help but feel a sense of mutual appreciation. It was suspected that bromance was erupting from it, but of course, the latter sentence is just my personal opinion.

"Speaking of which, the other two, although far inferior to Lady Sha'erna, are still very active," Merchant A coughed and changed the subject.

"Yes, yes, although they can't compare to Lady Sha'erna, they are still quite good," Merchant B nodded in agreement like an Idiot.

Listening to their Tone, it was as if after discussing the most popular Protagonist in a certain manga, they finally started paying attention to Supporting Character A and Supporting Character B, who stood behind the Protagonist with humble expressions, barely showing one-tenth of their face and a few fingers.

"That Master Druid wearing a Full-face Helmet is very mysterious. Until now, no one knows what he looks like," Merchant A said.

"Mm, very mysterious, very mysterious," Merchant B said.

"Wow!! Xiao Fan, look quickly, they're finally talking about you," the Little Ghost said.

"I heard he annihilated several major Desert Bandit groups that had been harming the Western Kingdom for hundreds of years, all by himself," Merchant A said.

"Mm, very amazing, very amazing," Merchant B said.

"..." Merchant A.

"..." Merchant B.

"And there's another one who's also very remarkable," Merchant A said.

"Yes, yes!" Merchant B said.

"Wow!! Xiao Fan, look quickly, you were glossed over," the Little Ghost said.

"Hoo—" I picked up the tea, took a full sip, calmly put down the Cup, and let out a long breath.

"It's nothing. Men are usually more interested in topics about women. This is very normal," I gazed into the Distance again, a calm and world-weary Smile on my face.

Although I said that, I would absolutely not tell the Little Ghost that for a moment just now, the thought in my mind was planning how to sink the Corpses of these two damned Merchants in the Gemini Sea.

"Oh, right, right, I heard the Class of the last Lord is a Priest, which disappeared thousands of years ago," Merchant A said excitedly.

"Yes, yes, I heard that too. I heard many patients deemed incurable by healers were cured with miraculous hands by this Master Priest. If there were more Priests like this on the Continent, then we Civilians would have Peace of Mind."

"You're being praised!" The Little Ghost looked at me and smiled with pursed lips.

"Is that so? I don't feel anything at all? Besides, I'm the one being praised, why do you look happier than me?"

"How would I know? Xiao Fan is being praised, so I'm just very happy."

The Little Ghost covered her Mouth and secretly chuckled, her perky Nose wrinkled cutely, and her silver Eyes were also overflowing with irrepressible Joy.

"Be as Happy as you like, Little Idiot." I couldn't help but laugh too, not because of the Merchants' praise, but because of the natural Maiden's Sentiments the Little Ghost revealed towards me.

That's right, the Priest mentioned by Merchant A and Merchant B is not the Little Ghost. Don't forget the Little Ghost's Shut-in Attribute. She wasn't even willing to show herself in front of Velas and Sarah, let alone running out to treat those Civilians?
