Narrator Bro Still Needed to Grow

No wonder!

No wonder Zhen Yi knows so much history, no wonder almost every name she mentions has a corresponding existence. It turns out she wasn't making things up at all, but telling a story!

The characters are real, but the story itself is entirely fictional!

So, is the Herobas, whom I have never heard of, also a real being?

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, and he whispered to Hong Lin again, "Have you heard of Herobas?"

"Herobas?" Hong Lin frowned slightly, then nodded. "[The Hand of Purity], the Emissary of [Annihilation], how come you've encountered him before?"

Cheng Shi was taken aback. Was He really the [Annihilation] Emissary?

"[The Hand of Purity] is the leader of the World Destroyers of the Era of Depravity, and the one who led the entire era to Annihilation."

He considered everything in this world to be filthy vermin, constantly gnawing away at the First Cosmos. Therefore, He Annihilation everything, restoring the First, and attempted to please His Lord of Grace in this way.

This wasn't said by Hong Lin; the Dragon King has once again launched his mini history lecture.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi was completely stunned, and his expression changed slightly. He recalled the group of World Destroyers Kannaal City and the leader who was surrounded by World Destroyers during the previous Trials, and wondered if the other party was Herobas.

But that wasn't the whole reason for Cheng Shi's shock. What shocked him even more was that Li Jingming actually mentioned the word "The First".

Although "The First" is not "Origin," aren't their meanings too similar?

Was he testing someone because he knew something, or was there something like that in the story of Herobas?

However, Cheng Shi dared not ask this question aloud, so he could only hide the shock in his eyes and turn his attention back to Chenosli.

Seeing that Cheng Shi didn't follow up with anything, Li Jingming raised an eyebrow thoughtfully.

He enjoys discussing history with people, believing that only through extensive communication can one continuously fill in the gaps in past Memory. Therefore, during Trials, he never hesitates to offer topics for discussion.

But now it seems that this Fate Weaver was still too wary of him.

Silence fell again among the three players. Chenosli was still discussing with Morkius how to bypass the Supreme Court and confront the Iron Rule of Order.

Although the defenses of the Supreme Court were not as tight as those of the Wailing Iron Prison, the patrol and rotation times of the Iron Law Knight were not something anyone could control.

As first-level Adjudicator who have not yet taken up positions in the Supreme Court, the two could only try to fill in the timeline of the Iron Law Knights' garrison based on their own impressions, so as to choose a suitable opportunity to infiltrate them.

Chenosli's plan was for Morkius to stand guard at a crucial outermost switching point to keep watch for him, while he would take advantage of the switching interval to bypass all the knights and go straight into the depths of the Supreme Court.

Chenosli was almost entirely responsible for the entire plan. He forbade Morkius to speak in order not to drag his junior into the mess. However, Morkius clearly cared about the other person, so he would cough lightly at key moments to give a hint.

The process of discussing the plan was very boring, Cheng Shi's mind wandered as he listened.

Although the time flow in the dream was different from that in the real Trials, it was still a waste of Trials time. He wanted to urge Li Jingming, who had the power of [Memory], to speed up, but Li Jingming was obviously very interested in every frame of the Memory, so Cheng Shi pursed his lips, started to empty his mind, and began to daydream.

Hong Lin was the same; she was even more anxious than Cheng Shi. However, she understood the Dragon King better and knew that being anxious was useless. So she closed her eyes early and took a nap.

Li Jingming sensed the Change in the two men, his eyelids twitched, and perhaps to liven up the atmosphere or to continue the previous conversation, he suddenly asked Cheng Shi:

"You ran into Herobas?"

Cheng Shi was counting sheep when he was suddenly asked a question. He instantly forgot where he was in the count. He looked at the Dragon King speechlessly and said irritably, "You owe me sheep."

"?"

Li Jingming was stunned. He was now reacting to the word "compensation" with a kind of stress. As soon as Cheng Shi finished speaking, a lot of the anger that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly came out.

Cheng Shi was just making a casual remark, and naturally had no intention of actually demanding compensation. However, instead of answering the Dragon King's question, he asked a question in return:

"Narrator Bro, in which era did Herobas a god?"

"?"

Narrator Bro!?

Upon hearing this word, Li Jingming's eyelids twitched, and Hong Lin, who was taking a nap nearby, was startled awake. She grabbed Cheng Shi's shoulder and sharply scanned his entire body.

"Who are you!?"

Cheng Shi was suddenly bound, his eyes widening in shock, but he quickly realized what had happened.

Oh no, I have the same nickname as Zhen Yi again!

She also calls Li Jingming "Narrator Bro"!

This is truly bad luck begetting bad luck, bad luck has reached its peak!

This time, however, there was no need for explanation, because Cheng Shi knew that Big Cat was simply reacting to stress and wouldn't be confused. So he put on a look of disappointment, as if to say, "How come you can't even tell a joke?" and looked at Big Cat with a sarcastic gaze.

"No, sis, I'm just annoyed by him, why did I upset you?"

"..."

Hong Lin was indeed startled. Her face flushed slightly, and then she looked Cheng Shi over again, recalling all his actions during the Trials and in Dolgo D. Only then did she pretend to be nonchalant as she released Cheng Shi's shoulder, forcing herself to say:

"What stress? Who's stressed? I'm just testing your reaction, seeing if you're not cautious enough."

"..." Cheng Shi laughed in anger.

Okay, okay, I wasn't careful enough.

Even if I'm not careful, I can't possibly be like some people who tear down the doors of the Wailing Iron Prison and then turn around and fight the Chief Judge!

Cheng Shi the Big Cat had turned away awkwardly, Cheng Shi ignored her and instead looked at Li Jingming, who was listening intently, and repeated the question he had just asked.

He noticed that, unusually, the other person did not respond when the word "era" was mentioned.

The Dragon King's silence wasn't solely due to being given an unlucky nickname; it seemed that Cheng Shi had asked him a question that touched on a blind spot in his knowledge.

"Interesting. I knew you must have unique Memory." Li Jingming chuckled twice, looking quite pleased. "Let's make a deal, Cheng Shi. Tell me what your so-called 'era' is, and whether it's what I'm imagining."

Li Jingming did not know the "era," but after collecting a large enough amount of Memory, he discovered that some historical Memory were unusually chaotic due to different perspectives.

He had never understood why this was, until today when he heard Cheng Shi's question. He suddenly realized that those chaotic Memory did not seem to be linear.

Era... which era... this sounds like parallel timelines, so is it possible that Memory are also parallel, which is why different Memory seem conflicting and chaotic?

Li Jingming's curiosity was piqued. He turned around and looked intently at Cheng Shi, his eyes filled with longing for new Memory.

Cheng Shi refused the deal.

He never intended to tell the Dragon King anything; he deliberately used the word "era" to make Li Jingming scratch his head in confusion...

Well, not entirely.

The speed at which one can gather information is limited. If you want to know more about the times, it is best to have many people working together to collect information.

Cheng Shi had intended to explore the History School, but upon learning that Zhen Xin was the founder of the History School, he hesitated.

As for the reason... those who know, know.

So he set his sights on the Dragon King. Originally, as a Believer in [Memory], it was difficult to cooperate with him Cheng Shi of his Faith identity. But the other party was nominally Believer in the God of Merriment.

Why not have some fun cooperating with a player who often blasphemes against the God of Merriment?

If that's the case, then it can be considered an offering to Him!

Confident in this way, Cheng Shi action and gave the other party a small hint.

Of course, he could only offer a hint; otherwise, given his understanding of the times, he probably wouldn't be able to satisfy the Dragon King's appetite for Memory.

Once the fact that you are equally ignorant is exposed, then the pretentious act you put on will become a disgrace to others.

You can't do something so foolish.

"I'm not interested in the deal; I'm only interested in the compensation."

It seems the Narrator Bro's knowledge base isn't that great either; I suggest he go back and hone his skills further.

"..." Li Jingming's smile froze, he frowned, and then nodded thoughtfully.

He seemed to understand.
