Quack! The life of a brave man is also a life!

Some people even smiled.

At this time, the playing children noticed Cloro, and their smiles suddenly turned into fear, and they turned around and ran away.

This situation made other people aware of Cloro's existence. After seeing Cloro's gorgeous and expensive armor, hostility flashed in their eyes.

Cloro immediately explained when he saw it.

"I am Cloro, the hero of the Morian Church, and I am here to find the hero Baici."

The residents here were slightly relieved, but the hostility in their eyes did not decrease.

The Morian Church, the hero, these are all enemies.

Baici's purpose has never been concealed, even if the people who joined later have more or less noticed something, but they all understand that this is something that needs to be kept secret.

No one wants to lose the last place to stay.

The people here are those who lost their families in the conscription, and the slaves who were dispersed.

They are hostile to the church and the nobles.

Soon, the old village chief came out. He looked at Clo and said:

"Welcome, brave man. Please forgive these people for not knowing etiquette."

"It doesn't matter. After all, everyone will be like this when a stranger suddenly appears. I'm here to find the brave Baici."

"Oh, Baici. I'm afraid you have to wait a moment. I will notify Baici."

"Okay."

Clo nodded and didn't say much.

Following the village chief, he walked towards a house that looked a little nice.

The village chief said apologetically at the door: "Sorry, brave man, our village was established not long ago, and this is the best house. Please forgive me."

"It's okay." Clo looked at the wooden house, and then asked in confusion: "Village chief, where is your previous village?"

"It's gone. Some time ago, General Cecily recruited soldiers and took away countless people. We are the only ones left. If it weren't for Lord Baici, I'm afraid we would have starved to death. In addition, the empire recently dismissed slaves, and these people had nowhere to go and no one to accept them. Thanks to Lord Baici for accepting these people, although life here is not very good, at least they will not starve to death. When do you think this war will end?"

The village chief did not tell the truth. After all, the village is in the empire. If it were somewhere else, he would not mind adding fuel to the fire and blackening the empire.

Clo, who was sitting on the wooden chair, was silent after hearing this.

It will never end...

He knew the answer, but he couldn't say it, and he didn't want to burst the village chief's hope.

"It will always end, right?" He said with emotion, giving people a feeling of encouragement.

"Yes, it will end. It's a pity that I may not see it... I'm old, and I don't know when I will leave."

"..."

When Clo heard this, his eyes were full of envy.

He also wanted to grow old like this and die.

Don't look at his appearance as if he is in his teens or twenties, he is actually almost eighty years old.

He became a hero at the age of 25 and worked as an executioner in the Antu Church for more than 50 years... He doesn't want to continue, and he doesn't want to fight anymore.

...

On the other side, Bai Ci got the news.

"You said that the hero Clo is looking for me? When did another hero come?"

He didn't know that there were more heroes, and he looked at the person who notified him with a confused face.

"Is it fake?" The person who notified him was also surprised and didn't expect this to happen.

Fortunately, Meili heard it, brought Ritt over, and explained.

"The Empire has summoned another hero, named Mary. The hero Clo is a hero from the Antu Church in the East Continent. He reached an agreement with the goddess, so he came to find the hero."

"Ah? There is such a thing!? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Bai Ci looked at Meili in confusion, and the people who notified him breathed a sigh of relief. It was okay if he was not an enemy.

"I just received a message from the goddess." Meili explained.

"Okay, let's go and take a look."

Bai Ci put down the shovel in his hand, patted the dirt on his pants, and tidied his appearance a little before walking towards the wooden house.

When he arrived at the wooden house, he saw Clo, who was exhausted, when he entered the door.

Clo, who was chatting with the village chief, saw Bai Ci and immediately showed a kind smile, and introduced himself with expectation.

"Hello, hero Bai Ci. I am the hero Clo."

"Hello." Bai Ci looked at Clo and nodded.

Meili and Ritter on the side looked at Clo curiously, trying to see what was different about him, but they didn't find anything after a look.

At this time, Cloe stood up and said with a smile: "Let's talk alone."

"Ah? Okay."

Bai Ci was a little confused, but he didn't refuse.

Merry knew the specific situation and didn't stop him. Ritt was curious, but he thought that his identity couldn't be exceeded at this time, so he had to give up.

So Cloe and Bai Ci walked out and walked on the street.

"Ah! It's the brave man!"

"Brave man!"

Just passing by the market, Bai Ci was immediately surrounded by children on the roadside. Faced with this situation, Bai Ci smiled and turned on the head rubbing mode directly, patting the head of the child in front of him.

Immediately made the group of children excited.

Clo, who was standing aside, couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene, and his eyes were full of memories.

Before he knew the truth, he was also loved by people. It's a pity that after learning the truth later, the more he was loved by the people, the more uncomfortable he felt in his heart, and finally he couldn't stand it and withdrew from people's sight.

After Baici calmed down the group of children, he continued walking with Clo.

"Baiji, do you know what a hero is?" Crowe suddenly stopped and asked Baiji.

"I don't know. The process of me becoming a hero is very confusing, you know?" Baiji didn't know much about the hero and looked at Crow in front of him.

"I know...but can you bear this truth?" Crowe looked sadly, his eyes full of pain.

This made Bai Ci realize something, and he asked cautiously: "What is it?"

Crowe thought for a moment, smiled and said, "I have dreamed of becoming a brave man since I was a child. With constant efforts and hard work, I finally became a brave man. It's a pity that a brave man is not a brave man...just a poor clown."

Bai Ci frowned when he heard this, feeling that this was a bit strange.

The brave man is a clown?

"The brave are supposed to bring peace, right? But the truth is that the brave are the puppets who create war."

"What?"

"The brave man is God's puppet and God's slave. Countless people admire and yearn for him. Only after he becomes one do they realize that the brave man is a joke. He cannot die or live. He is full of killing. Peace is a ridiculous lie."

"So what's going on?" Bai Ci had no real sense at all and couldn't understand what Crowe meant.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Crowe grabbed Baiji's wrist and looked at it with an affirmative look.

"I heard from the village chief that you have saved many people and given countless homeless people a place to stay. You have done a good job. You have done a good job. But you can't protect all of this now. Once Morrigan If the church goes to war with other churches, then the war will destroy everything. What will you do then? "

"Uh..." Baiji looked at Crowe with a subtle expression.

I can't tell you here that my plan from the beginning was to defect to the demon clan?

I can't say it, I can't say it. If I say this, I will have no choice but to run away overnight.

"Can you tell me what you want to do?" Crowe asked seriously, his eyes full of seriousness.

Baiji was a little unaccustomed and wanted to take back his grabbed hand, but found that Crowe wouldn't let go, so he could only say:

"I never thought about it, but now all I can do is gather all the suffering people together and give them a village or town where they can live and work in peace and contentment. That's all."

"What's the next step? Can you guard these people like this?"

"Huh? What do you mean? What do you think?"

"Don't you protect these people?"

"No, is this a question of whether we can keep it or not?"

"What?"

Crowe was startled and looked at Baiji incomprehensibly.

"What is the question of whether you can keep it or not?" he asked confused and doubtfully.

Baiji looked at Crowe speechlessly, and then said seriously and firmly:

"If you ask me if I can defend it, I can tell you clearly that I can't defend it now. I know this better than anyone else, because I know what level I am at. The problem is, it's not that I can't defend it. The problem is that as a brave man, you must stand up and do your best to protect.”

"If we don't stand up, then who will? Just watch? I can't keep it, and watch countless people die in front of my eyes?"

"I only know that as long as I stand up now, I can give them a chance to breathe. That's all. Because isn't it a brave person? Isn't this what a brave person is?"

Bai Ci smiled freely, isn't a brave man the holder of courage?

"Isn't this...a brave man...yes, this is a brave man..."

Like a blow to the head, Crowe took a step back in surprise, and even let go of Baiji's hand.

He stared at Baiji with wide eyes, suddenly aware of his past and his former self.

I feel really ridiculous and pathetic...

So what if we know the truth? What about the slaves of God, the executioners?

And no one stipulates that these things cannot be slaves and executioners...

"Haha...hehehehe! This is a brave man, this is a brave man... He stands up before anyone else, even if he can't hold on, he still gives the people behind him a breather..."

Crowe raised his head in collapse, trying not to let his tears flow out. Only now did he realize that he was really stupid. He knew so much but didn't do anything.

There I am in pain and despair, caring about myself, complaining about the world and worrying about others, a one-man show.

Why did you let me meet you now... If only it had been earlier!

If it had been earlier...I wouldn't be like this now...

But it’s not too late!

"Baiji! You are so right! Thank you for letting me see what a true warrior is in the end! Thank you!"

Crowe smiled happily and relieved.

His hands were moved and excited and grabbed Baiji's wrist, and all the divine power surged out of Baiji's body at this moment.

"Wait! What are you doing!? The power of God..."

After realizing it, Bai Ci's eyes widened in disbelief. He felt that his divine power was growing crazily.

Crowe's eyes sparkled, and he smiled with joy and relief.

"I have a deal with Morrigan. I promised her to give you all the power of the gods. Kill me instead."

"What!?"

"Don't worry, this is all what I asked for. I am the brave man of Antu God. I have brought countless wars and massacres to Antu for more than fifty years. I have long since lost the courage to live. Every time I think of me I wanted to go crazy and kill myself after killing all those innocent people, but now I can finally be free."

"Ah? No, it's better to be alive than dead, right?"

"No need, Baici. I want to thank you for letting me understand what a hero is in the end. I believe you can do it, you can do it!"

"No..."

"Take my divine power, I hope it can help you go further, thank you."

Kro smiled with relief, and passed all the divine power to Baici with both hands. His life was full of mistakes, but he could clearly feel that he was right at this moment!

"You... are a real hero, Baici. And be careful..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes lost their luster, and his soul was destroyed by Morrigan at this moment.

He died just like that.
