Age of Heroes, Alaya Exposed Me

If he continued to release videos, all the Heroic Spirits would eventually remember him and come to settle scores.

The thought of those strange debts made his head ache.

At this moment.

His close friend beside him was scrutinizing him with suspicion.

He had short black hair, blue eyes, and wore black-rimmed glasses, appearing tall and slender.

It was Julian Ainsworth.

"What are you looking at? I'm not gay!" Wei Gong retorted irritably.

This guy was supposed to be his enemy, but now he had become his best friend. It was quite a twisted fate.

Julian asked with a hint of confusion, "I just feel like you're a bit similar to the Nameless Heroic Spirit in the video."

"Then hurry up and worship me!"

Wei Gong admitted it boldly.

However.

Often, even when you speak the truth, people won't believe you.

Julian pushed his glasses up his nose. "With your shut-in lifestyle, if someone like you could become a Heroic Spirit, then I'd be invincible."

"Tsk, believe it or not. If you beg me later, I won't even pay attention to you." Wei Gong didn't offer any further explanation.

This was a little trick.

The more openly you acted, the less likely people were to suspect you.

Now, the only problem was:

Had Joan remembered everything they had experienced through the video?

If she remembered, he didn't know what she would do...

At this moment.

Julian suddenly said with a hint of surprise, "It seems France is going to respond to the video!"

"So soon?"

Wei Gong was also a little surprised.

The video had been released for less than two hours. With the Europeans' usual laziness, it should have taken at least a few days.

Could it be that Her Majesty, the Emperor of France, had truly remembered everything?

Palace of Versailles.

The former presidential palace of France was located at the Élysée Palace.

But after Saint Joan descended, she forcefully took up residence in the Palace of Versailles, treating it as her imperial palace.

Her Majesty the Saintess had a 99% approval rating, so no one dared to advise her.

Inside the luxurious palace.

Her Majesty the Saintess wore a long, black cloak, and on her silver-gray hair, she wore a horseshoe-shaped ornament.

A pair of amber eyes scanned the crowd below aimlessly.

The council members, who had been arguing heatedly moments before, now only dared to whisper under her gaze.

Even stealing glances at her, they felt nothing but endless awe and worship.

Twelve Paladins, both male and female, stood on either side of her in platinum armor, their expressions solemn.

However.

One of the Paladins had a completely out-of-place demeanor.

It was a petite, adorable, and perfectly beautiful pink-haired "girl."

While everyone else was solemn, she hid in the shadow of a knight, secretly pulling out her phone, seemingly scrolling through videos.

It was Astolfo, or A'fu for short!

One of the Twelve Companions of Charlemagne, a handsome man renowned for his beauty.

His beauty was just a bit too much!

A'fu looked at the video title, his cute little face filled with surprise. "This video is actually about Her Majesty?"

A video about Saint Joan and a Nameless Heroic Spirit--

[Biography of the Nameless Heroic Spirit!]

[Your Name is Unknown, Your Deeds Live Forever!]

"I'll just take a peek!"

A'fu secretly glanced at Her Majesty the Saintess and clicked on the video.

Then.

He saw the end in one go!

In the video, a weak young saintess was saved by that powerful Nameless Heroic Spirit.

The two fought side by side all the way, leading France to victory.

But.

The French betrayed the saintess and sent her to the stake!

That Nameless Heroic Spirit was willing to die with her.

Countless people were commenting about romantic love and such.

But A'fu only felt an endless chill wash over him.

Something big had happened!

These people dared to fabricate gossip about Her Majesty!

Given Her Majesty's iron-fisted methods, wasn't this pure suicide?

On the throne, Her Majesty the Dark Saintess watched him calmly, "A'fu, what are you looking at?"

"I, I'm watching, watching a short video."

A'fu replied weakly.

The other party issued an undeniable and forceful command, "Bring it here, let me see!"

The immense meeting hall of the Palace of Versailles instantly fell silent.

All the councilors watched the pink-haired "girl" with trembling hearts.

Among everyone present, only this unreliable fellow dared to act so boldly.

Anyone else would have been scared to death long ago.

"No, Your Majesty!"

A'fu instinctively turned off the screen and hopped back a few steps, "A strange intuition tells me that Your Majesty will become abnormal after watching the video!"

"Hmm? What are you talking about?"

Her Majesty the Dark Saintess looked at him with the expression of someone looking at a mentally challenged child, full of mockery, "Heh heh, what kind of joke are you playing! Can a mere video shake me?"

This posture instantly made many councilors tremble slightly, feeling a fatal sense of excitement.

A standard "Joan-esque taunt"!

A'fu scratched his head and couldn't help but mumble, "But my intuition has always been accurate!"

Although he easily lost his temper and couldn't keep any secrets, forgetting important things.

He also gained a powerful [Intuition], almost like prophecy.

It had never failed!

"Astolfo, project the video directly onto the big screen for Us!"

Joan's golden eyes were filled with disdain.

She didn't believe a single word of the unreliable remarks from this pink-haired, large-breasted, cute girl.

"Um, I'm saying this in advance, don't blame me if there's a problem!"

A'fu solemnly declared once more.

He had to clarify his responsibility first. If he were to be severely trampled and ravaged by Joan, it wouldn't be fun.

Hmm, thinking about that scene, it seems even better???

The projection began.

On the huge screen, lines of automatically translated text appeared—

[Inventory of the Nameless Heroic Spirit's Life!]

[Your Name is Unknown, Your Deeds Last Forever!]

The Paladins and councilors all showed disdain.

If someone had truly accomplished great deeds, how could they remain unknown?

"Alaya?"

Joan sat on the throne and silently muttered the name.

The second of the two Counter Guardians, the one specifically meant to trick humans. Was it real or fake?

The video began to play.

Under a gloomy, lead-gray sky, a blonde girl and villagers were under attack by a familiar enemy.

A councilor couldn't help but blurt out, "Damn it, this is the invading army of Britain during the Hundred Years' War!"

"Could this be the scheme of that King of Britain?"

The councilors immediately started whispering amongst themselves.

The Hundred Years' War continued until the appearance of Joan, at which point France was on the verge of annihilation.

It was a disgrace among disgraces!

The councilors present were the most loyal defenders of France, and they would never allow anyone to humiliate the invincible France in any way!

The video continued.

The invading British forces grinned as they tried to kill the young Saintess.

As a result, a nameless man in a red cloak descended and easily swept the entire field, rescuing the Saintess.

Then.

This nameless man actually said—

[Claim you received guidance from the Lord, and call upon all of France to fight together!]

[When a lie makes the whole world believe, you can even call yourself a god!]

[Come, let us bear the last wishes of all the deceased, and join hands to deceive the whole world, turning you completely into the Lord's messenger!]

A group of councilors instantly stood up, their faces turning red.

"Heresy! This is blasphemy!"

"Your Majesty, I request that we find the creator of this video at all costs!"

"There is every reason to suspect that Britain is behind this, plotting to subvert our entire France!"

They couldn't help but be furious.
