The Kind Hero Party
The journey was neither short nor long. When Monsters blocked the path midway, Li Yan wanted to strike, but someone was faster than him. Those were a few passing adventurers, a perfect combination of a mage, a warrior, and a priest, who killed the blocking Monster handsomely with extremely agile bodies.
"Hello, we are The Hero Party by Hobby, and our goal is to defeat the Demon King."
The leading green-haired warrior captain waved friendly in Li Yan's direction, and Li Yan curiously surveyed the overall formation of the team before him. He had to admit that this Hero Party by Hobby did indeed have some strength. The female mage probably had a Mana volume of around level thirty, the green-haired warrior captain's level was around forty, and the priest uncle's strength was negligible, with a combat power that was touching.
"Hello, my name is Li Yan, thank you for your help. We are heading to visit a friend this time, and the consequences would have been unimaginable without your help."
Li Yan said politely.
What he said was indeed the truth. If that Monster had not been killed by this Hero Party by Hobby, its fate would definitely have been a hundred times more miserable than the current method of death.
"Hehe, you're welcome, we're a hero party after all."
The leading green-haired warrior captain scratched his hair with a foolish smile, and even expressed with exceptional warmth that he wanted to escort Li Yan's party for a stretch of the road.
Little Fool, sitting in the carriage, secretly peeped from the carriage windowsill, and was spotted by the looking-around female mage. Seeing the female mage wave friendly at her, Little Fool also stretched out her small hand and imitated the female mage's way of waving.
The priest uncle conversed with the carriage driver with a calm expression. Upon learning that Li Yan was the son of the most famous Earl, his eyes widened involuntarily; they actually helped the son of the Earl this time, and even the son of that most prestigious Earl.
"That Earl adult who used a warrior's body to kill hundreds of Demons alone? Rumors say he is the strongest warrior hailing from the greatest warrior Family."
The green-haired warrior captain opened his eyes wide and looked at Li Yan with an incredulous expression. The other party turned out to be an aristocrat's child, and furthermore the son of the most famous grand aristocrat Earl.
"Y-y-you, your dad is the Earl?"
The green-haired warrior captain pointed at Li Yan with a trembling finger. His mind was somewhat dazed; the traveler he helped casually was actually the son of his idol. That Earl adult was his most, most, most, most yearned-for idol, who not only defeated Demons and guarded the common people, but also married the King's sister, the most beautiful princess of the Kingdom.
"Mm, pretty much."
Li Yan smiled faintly and nodded. Even if the carriage driver did not reveal his identity, the aristocratic crest label on the luxury carriage could also explain his identity.
"The idol's son, are you also a warrior as strong as the Earl adult?"
The green-haired warrior captain's eyes shone brightly, staring straight at Li Yan's waist.
"Where is your matching sword?"
Failing to find Li Yan's matching sword, the green-haired warrior captain opened his eyes wide and looked around, seemingly wanting to find Li Yan's matching sword.
"Ahem, I am a mage, and I only know a little bit of the basics when it comes to warriors."
Li Yan coughed lightly and took out his staff from inside the carriage. That was the most luxurious staff in the Earl's territory, and its price alone was worth ten thousand gold coins.
Its material was St. John's Wood, a superior product cultivated and watered with the heart's blood of Dragonkind. Five miniature blessing magic arrays were engraved upon it, along with three Mana gemstones, and using it could speed up spell-casting by eighty percent while increasing power by nearly half.
"Ah?"
"You're a mage? Not a warrior?"
"You're kidding me, your father is the strongest of the greatest warrior Family, how could you possibly be a mage."
Not just the green-haired warrior captain, even the priest uncle and the female mage opened their mouths wide.
"Ahem, I know a little bit, it's not like I don't know at all."
Li Yan said modestly. When traveling away from home, hiding one's strength is always the best of the best choices, and only careless fellows like Demons would burst all their Mana outside their bodies.
It was just like those nouveau riches who suddenly strike it rich, vainly wishing to let the whole world know how strong their Mana was.
"I see your Mana doesn't seem very strong."
The female mage bit her lower lip slightly and said embarrassedly. According to her Mana perception, Li Yan's current Mana intensity was around level nineteen. Although this Mana intensity was very normal at Li Yan's age, Li Yan was the son of the Earl adult, making this Mana intensity abnormal in an instant.
"Ahem, I'm still on the path of learning."
Li Yan gave a shy smile and sat back inside the carriage.
The hero party also seemed to feel that discussing Li Yan's various aspects of strength was indeed somewhat impolite. Knowing that Li Yan was the Earl's son, they subconsciously compared the other party with their former selves, which was why they kept asking.
"Pardon the offense, Li Yan, asking a bit too much about your privacy."
The green-haired warrior captain scratched his hair embarrassedly. Meeting the idol's son, he unconsciously became excited and asked a bit too much.
"It's fine, I don't mind this aspect."
Li Yan smiled politely.
Not talking about strength, Li Yan and The Hero Party by Hobby chatted about travel, adventure stories, and combat conditions when encountering Demons.
