Arrangements

A beautiful older sister dressed as a priest walked forward. Judging from the gazes of the other ministers, this priest held a very high position in the empire.

Bishop Iris smiled gently at the heroes: "These are weapons blessed by the gods. Please, heroes, save our human race."

The weapons were a sword, a bow, a dagger, and a staff.

The heroes immediately chose their preferred weapons. However, Misa noticed Chen Yi walking towards the staff and hesitated before heading for the dagger.

After distributing the weapons, Iris glanced at Chen Yi and then left amidst the reluctant gaze of the hero Kenichi.

Although she hadn't intentionally tried to impress them, Bishop Iris's figure left a deep impression in the minds of the heroes.

Later, the King felt sleepy and asked Princess Anna, who looked like a doll, to show the heroes around the royal palace.

Faced with the cute and exceptionally easy-to-talk-to Princess Anna, the heroes from another world began to let loose.

Seeing things they had never seen before, they would occasionally exclaim loudly. However, what these heroes didn't know was that every time they exclaimed, Princess Anna showed a look of disdain.

Although Anna was a normal person, her status was noble enough to allow them to move freely throughout the palace.

"Princess Anna, where can I learn magic?"

Chen Yi bowed to the princess, imitating a traveler, and asked.

The effect of the etiquette was obvious. Princess Anna's eyes seemed to light up. She returned Chen Yi's bow and curtsied, gathering her skirt.

This person must be a noble from another world. As expected, they are different from those rude commoners. They aren't shouting loudly either.

"Hero, your name is Yi... right? It's indeed different from the names in our world."

"If you want to learn healing spells, you need to go to the church. With your status as the Healing Hero, the nuns won't make things difficult for you."

Chen Yi nodded, acting like a gentleman: "Thank you for your answer, Princess Anna."

It was just a normal question and answer, but in the eyes of the Sword Hero, it was different.

Kenichi glared fiercely at Chen Yi, hating any man who approached Princess Anna from the bottom of his heart.

A mere healer, how dare she not recognize her own status.

She was completely different from how she was before, so timid.

This undisguised malice, in Chen Yi's perception, was like a firefly in the dark night. Was he too good-tempered...

That night, Chen Yi's room was empty.

Priest Cross Marin had just returned to his room when he suddenly shouted coldly, "Who's there!"

"Don't be nervous, Priest Marin."

The flame accurately hit the candle on the table, illuminating the two of them.

Marin said in surprise, "Lord Yi, did you come to the wrong room? I'll take you back. You must rest well, training starts tomorrow."

He put on an innocent look, making it impossible to be on guard.

Chen Yi remained silent, just watching him.

Marin's smiling eyes slowly turned cold.

"Can we talk properly now?"

"..."

The room was silent.

Chen Yi was thinking about how to achieve his goal, while Marin was thinking about whether he could take down Chen Yi without alerting the guards.

After a long while, Marin broke the silence first, "Aren't heroes from other worlds supposed to be normal people?"

"Generally, yes. I'm just a bit special."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

Marin regained his gentle demeanor. "Then, Mr. Yi, what can I do for you?"

Chen Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The hardest part was over. "Actually, I've always been very interested in magic. It would be great if there was a place where I could learn magic."

"Leave this small matter to me. The hero's problems are my problems."

"Then... thank you, Priest."

After Chen Yi left, Marin's expression flickered under the candlelight.

Most of the Royal Palace guards were martial artists and not very sensitive to Mental power.

Sensing the guards' positions, he used Mental Power to cover his tracks and returned to his room without disturbing anyone.

Talking with these old foxes is truly exhausting.

The moment he stepped out of the Summoning Array, Chen Yi had planted a Nano Eye on Marin.

It was because of this eye that he acted completely differently. The brief conversation with Marin just now was the result of Chen Yi's repeated deliberation.

The relationships within the royal palace were complex, and Chen Yi discovered three main factions.

The largest, naturally, was the Empire. They had clear objectives, and summoning the hero was an arrangement made by this faction.

Next was the Religion. The hero's weapon was actually in their custody, and their current needs were unclear.

The last faction was the power behind Marin. Their needs were also unclear, and they dared not reveal themselves within the royal palace.

However, none of these factions were something Chen Yi could handle. Furthermore, all three seemed unconcerned about who the hero was, which gave Chen Yi room to maneuver.

Evaluation: A weapon that can become stronger, you see it now.

The hero's identity was important because the hero could make these weapons stronger.

The hero's identity was unimportant because there were five heroes this time.

In the darkness, Chen Yi, uncharacteristically, did not meditate. Instead, he pondered how to protect himself.

As for those true heroes, what did they have to do with him?

The very next morning, he went to meet the King. The King arranged a team for each hero and gave them a large sum of gold.

However, the Sword Hero Jian Yi received the most gold, while the Healing Hero Chen Yi received the least.

This preferential treatment further fueled Jian Yi's arrogance. His gaze towards Chen Yi now carried a threat.

Misa, who was reluctantly given a dagger, felt a surge of joy within. Her originally introverted demeanor had vanished.

Under everyone's gaze, Chen Yi stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I have something I wish to request of you."

The King was somewhat impatient: "What is it?"

The surrounding ministers' expressions also turned unfriendly.

The Neon Braves, who were adept at sensing the atmosphere, watched Chen Yi with schadenfreude.

"Your Majesty, as you know, I am the Healing Hero, but I don't know any healing magic."

"If I were to train with the Priests and Priestesses, it might not have any training effect at all."

"Therefore, I would like to request that you take back my squad and give me some gold coins to form a squad among the common folk."

The Priestesses, who were originally just watching the show as part of Chen Yi's squad, were suddenly dumbfounded. Before they could say anything, the King's voice came through, "I agree to your request. Guards, give the Healing Hero enough gold coins to form a squad."

Marin stepped forward to acknowledge receipt, and the other ministers praised the Healing Hero for being young and promising, certain he would achieve great things.
