Lance, Are You a Demigod? Or a God?

awkward.

Many questions still lingered in my mind.

The changes in Lance a thousand years later were so great that she couldn't accept it for a while, and even wondered if the Lance in front of her was really the same Lance from a thousand years ago.

Lance a thousand years ago really just an honest and simple Potion Master? How much was he hiding?

According to the information gathered from Saint Blue City, Viscount Lance is not only an apothecary, but also a Beast Tamer, and importantly, he can also farm.

Farming is not a surprising life skill; with hard work and a little time, one can master it quickly.

What she cared about was her identity as Beast Tamer.

A thousand years ago, Lance never showed the slightest bit of his beast-taming talent in front of them. When he went out on missions and encountered powerful and ferocious Exotic Beast, he would just stand behind them and shout: Kill it, and I'll make you a medicinal meal tonight.

The honest and kind-hearted Lance is not only skilled at concocting extraordinary potions, but also a master chef with a gold medal certificate.

Lance's culinary skills also played a significant role in keeping him in the team.

The team can do without the "Non-Existent Potion Master," but it cannot do without the cook Lance.

Before the battle of "King Sealing Demon Slaying," the male teammates were strong, while the female teammates were plump and radiant.

A year after the "King Sealing Demon Slaying" battle ended, when she saw her former teammates again, they were visibly thinner.

She met Lance a thousand years ago: Lance, a kind and honest Potion Master.

Lance, the gold medal chef.

The Lance we met a thousand years ago: free-spirited and unrestrained. At the same time, he was also the [Viscount], deeply loved by the people of Saint Lan, a [Beast Tamer], a [Count] who could sculpt statues and build temples and was recognized by the Dragon God.

Even she, an elf who had lived for over a thousand years, could not feel any sense of superiority when facing Lance, who was a thousand years later.

"If your other teammates saw you a thousand years from now, I doubt many would dare to recognize you. Nor would anyone dare to tease you as casually as before."

"They're not dead yet?"

"???!!!"

Amelia, who was feeling sentimental and melancholic, was almost choked to death by Lance's words from a thousand years later.

Mentioning teammates from a thousand years ago and saying, "They're still alive?" That's heartless!

"What kind of look is that? As a human being, even someone as strong as a hero, it is extremely difficult to live to be a thousand years old before condensing a divine spark and igniting Divine Fire."

Of course, if you use the Elven race's [Spring of Life] to prolong their lives, then with their strength, they should be able to live past a thousand years old.

The problem is that you probably can't easily obtain the Elven race's [Fountain of Spring of Life Spring of Life, and you might not even be able to get close to it.

A bunch of terrifying old geezers are guarding the Spring of Life for you elves. That place is so dangerous that even a fly that flies there gets checked dozens of times before it dies.

Use the Spring of Life to save your teammates' lives?

She had the idea, but lacked the ability to realize it.

The Spring of Life is a sacred object of their elven race. Even royalty cannot use Spring of Life at will, let alone an ordinary elf like her.

Something's not right. How does Lance, a thousand years in the future, know that the guardians of the [Spring of Life] are a group of terrifyingly powerful old beings? She didn't even know, so how does Lance know? "You've been to the Sacred Ground of our elven race?"

"No."

"Then how do you know that the guardians of the Spring of Life are a group of incredibly powerful individuals?"

"Hearsay."

Lance offered a casual explanation. He couldn't very well tell Amelia that he had once visited the Sacred Ground of the elves out of curiosity and been scared away by a group of terrifying old immortals, could he? Could he just casually mention something that would embarrass the Black Dragon?

He was truly terrified back then. A bunch of old fogies, from all sorts of races, some of them were even legendary figures. He was so scared that his dragon wings almost cramped up.

The scene was so overwhelming that he still doesn't dare to wander around the Sacred Ground of the elves.

Besides, as a black dragon, he doesn't need the Spring of Life to prolong his life, so there's no need for him to risk his dragon life just to show off and become a god.

"Became a god? Who... became a god?!"

Lance was surprised. Could it be one of his former teammates? So fierce?

He became a god directly? Amelia was annoyed by Lance's reaction.

Hearing that a former teammate had become a god, you were only a little surprised? Shouldn't you be shocked, incredulous, excited, walk over, put your hands on her shoulders, shake her, and ask for details?

What's with this rather lukewarm response?

"They've all become gods."

"???"

That's outrageous.

His former teammates have all become gods, but he alone hasn't become a god yet?

Oh, this elf in front of me hasn't become a god either.

It's normal that long-lived species, which don't face life-threatening challenges, have far less ambition than humans.

"This is good news."

Lance replied with a smile, his gaze falling on the little dragon. The little dragon was having a blast, even letting the children grab her dragon tail and use it to pull the children around in circles in the square. The fact that his teammate had become a god made him slightly jealous, but only slightly.

"Your former teammates have become gods, don't you want to see them?"

"They're gone. I was just a passerby in their lives. If I hadn't happened to meet you in Saint Blue City, you would have been passersby in mine too."

The longer you live, the more experiences you have, and the more people you meet.

He had personally experienced the pain of separation and death several times, and the first time, he suffered for a long time.

The second time, he watched his friend die of old age in front of him, and he still couldn't get used to it.

The third time, he felt like running away, thinking that as long as he didn't make any new friends or get too close to any new friends he did make.

He won't feel sad or heartbroken when his friend dies.

He failed. If he had fallen into a deep sleep that lasted for hundreds of years like other Pure-Blooded Dragon, he might have been able to succeed.

Unfortunately, he wasn't that kind of dragon. He couldn't stand being alone and preferred to learn in the human world and interact with kind-hearted humans in various guises.

This destined him to experience life and death.

Gradually, he came to his senses and decided to let his good friend see him off, watch him be laid to rest, and spend money to hold a funeral for him.

Before he turned 1,900, he was the one who saw off his good human friends and watched them be laid to rest.

Two thousand years later, his good friends saw him off and watched him be laid to rest.

Occasionally, he would see his good friends off.

In recent centuries, he has stopped befriending humans and instead seeks out long-lived species to befriend.

For example, there are powerful king beasts, divine beasts in the mouths of humans, and some ugly, ferocious and terrifying Magical Beast beasts and divine beasts as friends. He knows a unicorn.

According to Wang Shou's friend, he knows an ape that has lived for countless years, and also an Earth Bear that has evolved several times.

He knew a Nine-Headed Monster Bird, Magical Beast.

Take the dragon cub to meet his friends when you have some free time.

The dragon cub would probably like a pure white unicorn.

"Have you become a god too? Or are you now a legendary demigod?"

Given the lukewarm reaction, Amelia suspected that Lance might have become a god, or even a legendary demigod.

The possibility of becoming a god is slim, but the possibility of becoming a demigod is still there.

Becoming a demigod, while not granting immortality, will result in a lifespan far exceeding that of ordinary powerful beings, making it possible to live for over a thousand years.

Otherwise, she simply couldn't explain why Lance's reaction was so indifferent.

"Don't overthink it, I don't have much time left to live."

I don't believe it.

Amelia didn't believe Lance at all.

This is a scammer.

"If you really don't have much time left to live, when you hear me say that the others have become gods, your reaction won't be so indifferent. You will definitely ask me to take you to them and ask them to extend your life."

After all, you used to be so afraid of death. When danger struck, you were the fastest runner; even the bravest warriors couldn't catch you.

A thousand years ago, when danger struck, Lance was always the one who ran first to escape. "Just because I don't have much time left doesn't mean I'm about to die."

"I don't believe a single word you say. Don't even think about lying to me a second time. I'm not the same person I was a thousand years ago."

Looking at Lance before her, Amelia changed her original plan. In her original plan, Saint Blue was just a transit point for her. After seeing the Dragon God Temple and appreciating the scenery of Saint Blue, she would stay in Saint Blue for a while and then leave.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Lance at Saint Blue.

If Lance were still the same Lance from a thousand years ago, she might be curious about how Lance managed to survive until now, but she probably wouldn't change her original plans for Lance's sake.

But the Lance who appeared before her now was completely different from the one from a thousand years ago.

He aroused her desire to explore.

This also piqued her curiosity.

Even if she leaves Saint Lan, her heart will remain here until she uncovers the secret of Lance a thousand years from now.

"Lance."

"What's wrong."

Who was your favorite member of our team back then?

"I like you all. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't choose to team up with you."

"No, I mean, have you ever had a crush on any teammate of the opposite sex?"

"No."

"You never even secretly liked me?"

"I used to like your money."

"!!!"

Amelia gritted her teeth. In Lance's eyes, she was an elf, not as attractive as those cold gold and Silver Coin.

"You have no conscience. Have you forgotten that when you're in danger, I'm always the first one to appear by your side and want to protect you? Haven't you been moved by my actions?"

"Speaking of this, I was also puzzled back then. Why did you always like to hide behind me, the Potion Master, whenever there was danger?"

If you stood in front of me, I would think you were trying to protect me, but you always hide behind me. No matter what I think, I feel like you're using me to take the fall for you.

Even I, Potion Master with virtually no combat ability, got scammed. Between the two of us, who's the heartless one?

Lance didn't expect Amelia to bring up old grievances with him. Back when they were adventuring together and encountered danger, all the teammates instinctively sided with the powerful hero.

This guy, however, could find him accurately without even looking at him, and then hide behind him.

It's one thing if it happens once or twice, but it happens every time. I don't know whether to say this elf is stupid or smart.

"Because I discovered your true colors back then!"

"What true face?"

Did they see through his disguise as a black dragon transformed into a human?

That's unlikely. This guy's dream is to be a Evil Dragon Elf Knight. If she had really seen his true form, she would have already begged him to sign Evil Dragon Knight Contract with her.

They might even subtly threaten or intimidate him.

She secretly said something to him behind his teammates' backs, like, "You don't want your teammates to know you're a dragon turned into a human, do you?" Given Amelia's intelligence at the time, it was possible that she would do something so foolish.

"Beast Tamer! I knew back then that you weren't just a simple Potion Master, but I never imagined you were hiding your true abilities so well. You're a Potion Master and a Beast Tamer at the same time!"

"You're just putting on airs. You only found out I'm a Beast Tamer after you came to Saint Blue."

Beast Tamer. He's a black dragon, not a Beast Tamer. He's heard it so many times that he almost thought he really Beast Tamer.

A true Beast Tamer is not like him.

"Your honest and simple-mindedness a thousand years ago was all an act!"

"It's not an act; I'm genuinely honest. No matter how much I pretend, I could never do it so convincingly."

He was an honest black dragon.

Amelia pursed her lips; she might have believed it a thousand years ago.

A thousand years later, she has traveled all over the country and seen too many things and people. What's a few years of pretending? Some people pretend for more than ten or even decades.

She had seen it.

"I want my former teammates to meet you a thousand years from now."

"Sure, call them over, I'll treat you to dinner."

Amelia walked to Lance's side, kicking the snow on the ground with her foot. The smile in her eyes was no longer as bright as before. "I lied to you."

"???"

"Not all teammates became gods; some died. Iliya died."

Iliya.

Lance pictured a little girl who was often distressed about her rapid development.

Iliya wasn't tall, but among the female members of the squad, she had the best figure.

I often slip and fall on flat ground while walking.

During puberty, she developed too quickly, and other aspects of her life couldn't keep up, resulting in problems with her body proportions.

She wasn't proud of her figure; instead, she often felt inferior because of it.

Later, Iliya found him and asked him if this Potion Master could use a potion to heal her body.

If it can't be treated, it would be good to use medication to stop her development.

Ordinary medicine wouldn't work; he needed a supernatural potion. Later, he concocted a supernatural potion that cured the root cause of Iliya's suffering.

She remembered that Amelia was quite envious of Iliya back then, because Amelia was relatively flat-chested. It was a pity that the little girl died.

She is a soldier.

The weapon used is a hammer.

He was born with superhuman strength.

Let's try to develop her into a grim reaper another day.

If she hasn't been reincarnated yet—no, she probably didn't go to hell after she died; she most likely went to heaven.

There's nothing we can do.

There are no connections in Heaven for the time being.

When is the anniversary of her death?

"She became a heroic spirit after her death. It's a pity I'm not a heroic spirit summoner, otherwise I could have summoned her down to see you."

They became heroic spirits?
