Team Invitation from the Heavenly Chosen Hero in Lord Lance's Mouth! [21st]

The person who said Lance was not Leige was a boy who looked two or three years older than her. He had short, golden-brown hair, wore loose blue trousers, a white short-sleeved shirt, and a leather money bag at his waist.

His clean, bright blue eyes held a hint of foolishness, making him the kind of person who was easily fooled.

What's that Leige? Huh? Leige?

Lance has a friend named Leige, who is also a domain expert. Well, Dragon Knight Hella, a domain expert, is not on the same level as Leige. Leige's domain is probably only slightly weaker than Lance's.

Leige can take on twenty Hela, or even more.

"Goodness" is probably just a coincidence, right? The Sky Sea Domain, Dragon Domain, Morning Star Domain, and Holy Light Domain Four Regions so vast. It would be too much of a coincidence to run into someone you know in a strange place so easily.

It's definitely the same name.

Someone as important as Leige shouldn't be a teammate of this boy, right?

Someone so old becoming a teammate of a teenager—isn't that just playing house with a child? Leige shouldn't be that kind of person, right?

It's hard to say! The young dragon thought of Lance.

When Lance Leige Reg's Hero Party, he seemed to be quite old.

There's a saying: birds of a feather flock together. Thinking of this, the young dragon's face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty. She subconsciously looked around and, not seeing Leige, breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, she was still a little flustered.

If Leige sees her, he will definitely bring her back to Lance's side. Leige must not be allowed to meet her.

Wait a minute, she doesn't need to panic too much. She's a human now, Imperial Daughter of the Farolyn Empire. The Leige knows is the Amethyst Dragonling Lucia, not Imperial Daughter Lucia.

Therefore, she didn't need to scare herself unnecessarily. Even if the Leige they were talking about was the Leige she knew, she could just pretend not to know him when they met.

"I'm right, the Regent is indeed not as strong as my teammate Leige. The strong don't die of illness. There are two ways for the strong to die: one is to be beaten to death, and the other is to reach the end of their lifespan."

The hero Leion laughed and retorted that the girl in front of him had never seen Leige send the Pure-Blooded Dragon flying with a single sword strike. If she had, she wouldn't think that the Regent was stronger than Leige.

Yes, he felt that in a few years, he would surpass the regent of the Holy Light Empire.

He will become the strongest hero, and then, together with his teammates, venture into the abyss to sweep away the Abyss Demon King and Various Royal Families!

Leige also has a dream: to defeat a black dragon.

Having witnessed Leige send Pure-Blooded Dragon flying with a single sword strike, it's hard to imagine just how powerful the black dragon that Leige considered a formidable foe was.

"Young man, apologize to the statue of the Regent, and I will not pursue your offense against the Regent."

Dragon Knight Hella came up behind the young dragon Lucia. Lord Lance's power was beyond what this young boy could imagine. Since he was now Lucia's follower, he naturally had to uphold Lord Lance's dignity.

The young hero Leion's gaze fell on the Dragon Knight Hella. After staring at Hela for a while, he slowly shook his head. "You are strong, but not as strong as me, and far inferior to Leige. If we really fight, I can seriously injure you with one sword."

Hela squinted. "This ignorant brat, does he really think he's Your Highness Lucia?"

"Then I'll see just how strong you really are, you little brat."

"Wait! Don't be impulsive! You're an adult, why are you getting angry with a young kid?"

Seeing that Hela was about to unleash her domain, the baby dragon hurriedly stopped her, fearing that Hela would suffer.

This young man before me might actually be stronger than Hela, who created this domain.

During a conversation with Lance on Black Dragon Island, she asked Lance why he, being so powerful, didn't do whatever he wanted in the human world.

Lance said he was afraid of encountering Heavenly Chosen Hero, the kind of person who was born with great fortune and could stumble and fall while walking and discover divine skills.

You can pick a grass from the roadside and eat it; it's a miracle cure that makes you immune to all poisons.

His cultivation speed was like a cheat code, advancing to a new realm every day. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he already possessed the strength to slay dragons.

By the age of eighteen or nineteen, they had already acquired the basic qualifications to ignite the Divine Fire.

In his twenties, he had many female confidantes.

These Heavenly Chosen Hero have one thing in common: they are the weakest members of the entire village.

The village rooster could beat him.

The wild rabbits outside the village could defeat him.

The village blacksmith could beat him so badly he'd cry for his parents with a single blow of his hammer.

Even a five- or six-year-old child could defeat him. But when such a young man leaves the village and ventures out into the world, he will find that those so-called strong people in the outside world are probably not as strong as the auntie who sweeps the floor in his village. When Lance said this, the young dragon thought that Lance was making up a story. Where in the world are there such people? Where is there such a magical and mysterious village? There is no such thing as a so-called Heavenly Chosen Hero.

Even now, she still doesn't believe that there is Heavenly Chosen Hero in this world who can harm Lance.

Even the Saintess of the War God Holy Mountain could not defeat Lance, and even the use of Summoning Divine Art could not cause Lance any real damage.

Even if the so-called Heavenly Chosen Hero truly exists, could he be stronger than a god? I don't believe the Heavenly Chosen Hero Lance speaks of truly exists, but what if, just what if the Leige that the boy in front of me is talking about is the Leige he knows?

She didn't believe that a big shot like Leige would casually team up with Hero Party and become his teammate.

Anyone who can be chosen by Leige must have extraordinary qualities.

Just like those who were chosen by Lance back then, they later achieved equally amazing things.

"You stay over there, I'll take care of things here."

After persuading the Dragon Knight Hella to leave, the young dragon Lucia stared at the hero before her for a moment, then grinned and asked, "What's your name?"

"Leion. And you? What's your name?"

"You can just call me His Your Highness the Little Regent." She didn't use his real name because she was afraid that Leion's teammate might actually be the same Leige she knew. "Did you live in a big city or a village when you were little?"

"Why are you asking this in the village?"

In the village?!

The young dragon's eyes widened instantly. Oh no! The birthplace of the hero Leion met one of the conditions for the Heavenly Chosen Hero that Lance had mentioned.

"So, does your village have monsters, specifically Source Beast? Are there any powerful Source Beast?"

"Yes, there are many. When I was young, I couldn't even beat the rabbits outside the village. The weakest grasshopper could beat me black and blue. And earthworms were more terrifying than the big snakes in the outside world."

???

!!

There really is such a village!!!

Those rabbit monsters Lance described really exist!!!

"And what about the people in the village? Do hunters just go out for a short while and come back with a bunch of game? And are the weapons forged by the blacksmiths better than those forged by the dwarf masters in the city?"

"Huh, how did you know?" Leion's eyes lit up. "Did you live in a village similar to ours when you were a child? Were the wild animals outside the village this strong?"

The young dragon shook its head. "The environment I lived in when I was a child was much harsher than yours. The monsters you faced were rabbit monsters, scorpion demons, earthworm monsters, grasshoppers, and the like. The monsters I faced were terrifying beings that cannot be described in words. Just looking at them would drive you crazy."

She wasn't talking nonsense; the Deep Sea Siren outside Black Dragon Island really are that terrifying.

When the Squid Girl revealed her true form, she was even larger than Pure-Blooded Dragon, and there was also Whale Girl. Besides the Squid Girl and the Whale Girl, there was also a sea serpent with nine heads. That sea serpent was even more terrifying; when coiled up, it was larger than Black Dragon Island. It was Lance's neighbor. According to the Squid Girl, the sea serpent had once tried to eat Lance, but Lance pulled it out of the deep sea and coiled it around his arm. Lance crushed one of its heads, turning it into an eight-headed sea serpent.

She had always wondered how Lance could coil a sea serpent, larger than Black Dragon Island, around his arm, but after seeing how Lance could grow larger, that question disappeared. The Amethyst Dragonling Lucia's living environment was just that treacherous.

"No wonder you're better than the person behind you."

???

o((⊙⊙))o What the heck? She's stronger than Dragon Knight Hella?

There's definitely something off about Leion's eyes. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure! My intuition tells me that you are stronger than that person. I could easily defeat him in a fight, but I can't guarantee that I can defeat you in a short time."

My intuition also tells me that you are the third companion predicted by the fortune teller I met before! Leige was my first companion, Evelyn was my second, and if my intuition is correct, then you will be my third.

The hero Leion smiled happily. He was so lucky to meet his third companion in the Holy Light Empire.

???

The third companion? Does the hero Leion mean he wants to invite her to be his third companion? Wait, wait, wait... if she really joins the hero Leion's Hero Party, wouldn't she become Leige's teammate?

No, no, no, this isn't the time to think about these things. The hero Leion possesses all the qualities that Lance described as the Heavenly Chosen Hero. Could it be that Lance foresaw long ago that such a young hero would appear in the human world? That must be it.

Lance not only knows divination, but he can also observe the stars at night and even predict the future.

Given Lance's abilities, it seems reasonable that he could deduce the existence of a human who could threaten him.

Thinking about it this way, the Heavenly Chosen Hero doesn't seem so scary after all. Lance was able to predict that such a hero would be born in the human world, so he must have made corresponding preparations.

Hela, the Dragon Knight Hella standing behind the young dragon, grinned. This little brat is trying to kidnap the little Your Highness.

Mills ' gaze remained fixed on the brave Leion, a young man who was less dashing than him but more valiant.

It's when he grins that his charisma is ruined, making him look no different from an ordinary person.

The girl beside him Evelyn, did not seem like an ordinary person; she exuded an aura that brought peace of mind.

Their strength seems quite formidable as well.

At least when the Dragon Knight Hella wanted to teach the hero Leion a lesson, the girl Evelyn was not afraid.

She seemed to like Lucia very much, because the way she looked at Lucia was very gentle.

No, young Leion doesn't seem stupid at all. In order to get closer to Lucia, he actually said that Lucia was the third companion predicted by the fortune teller. That's brilliant.

If he had spoken like that when he first met Lucia, she wouldn't have disliked Lucia. I just don't know Lucia will become this boy's companion.

"What do you mean by saying I am the third companion in the prophecy of the diviner?" the young dragon asked. Could it be that there are diviners as powerful as Lance in the human world?

Is it possible to see fragments of the future through divination? "That old woman said that my third companion would meet us one day in a strange way, and her appearance would be accompanied by thunder and king. I've forgotten what else she said."

Hehe, actually we didn't take that old woman's prophecy to heart at first. But after meeting you, the prophecy naturally came to mind, and I gained a little understanding of those two memorable lines of the prophecy.

The "thunder" in the prophecy likely refers to Leige. The "king" probably refers to the Regent of the Holy Light Empire. So, Your Highness Little Regent, would you like to become our companion?

"I don't want to!" The words of refusal were on the tip of the dragon's tongue, but the young dragon swallowed them back down.

This is the Heavenly Chosen Hero Lance spoke of! He advances through a new realm every day, ignites the Divine Fire at eighteen or nineteen, and becomes a god and his teammate at twenty. Wouldn't his dream of becoming emperor be even easier to realize?

Oh right, Lance also said that Heavenly Chosen Hero is to be chosen, has his own friends who all have their own dreams. They come together to work hard for their own dreams. They will also overcome all obstacles and forge ahead for their companions' dreams, killing gods and demons alike. Anyway, Lance exaggerated a lot.

"I'm sorry, I can't be your companion."

"Why?"

"Because I have a dream."

"What dream?"

"My dream is..." the young dragon began, then changed the subject, "Do you have a dream?"

"Yes, my dream is to become the strongest hero and defeat the strongest demon king in the abyss! Evelyn's dream is to become the strongest Light Priest and cure all the diseases in the world."

Leige's dream is to defeat his lifelong nemesis, a black dragon. If Leige 'Leige dream requires my help, I will dedicate my strength to Leige.

Yes, I will do everything in my power to help Evelyn achieve her dream, to win Evelyn a Light Fruit so she can become the strongest Light Priest.

Leige's mortal enemy is the Black Dragon?! Oh no, this Leige is really the Leige she knows! Leige is trying to incite the Heavenly Chosen Hero to beat up Lance.

The Light Fruit. It seems there's a Light Fruit in her Lucky Coin, given to Lance by the Sacred Golden Dragon Constantine. Lance didn't want it, so he gave it to her to eat as fruit. The Wisdom Fruit, the Light Fruit. She lived with Lance for three years; she ate one of the legendary divine fruits and kept one. She had no other choice; for Lance's safety, she had to become a companion of the hero Leion!

However, before Leion can be tricked by Leige into going to beat up Lance, she needs to lure Leion to the Farolyn Empire first.
