Chapter 153 Returning to the Land of Swords 2

"Only the hero who can draw the sword of the hero can defeat the cataclysmic disaster."

The village chief continued speaking, following up on what Xiutark had said. These were things that every village chief was required to know. Although that was the claim, the village chief's gaze remained fixed on Shi Yichen.

Although she was only a teenager, she remembered everything about the Sword of the Hero, including that Shi Yichen had drawn the Sword of the Hero more than 500 years ago, and that the hero Simmel had not drawn the Sword of the Hero. But these things could not be told to outsiders; only the village chiefs of each generation knew them.

"This is it."

Upon hearing what the village chief said, Shutark immediately remembered.

"It was Mr. Simmel who drew the sword of the hero."

Philon had only heard about these things from others; otherwise, she really wouldn't have known.

"That's right, it's a pretty famous story, haven't you heard of it?"

Shutark looked at Philen with some doubt. Even he had heard this story. How could Philen, who was with Shi Yichen and Frilian, not know it? Moreover, Philen's adoptive father was Haita.

"Mr. Haita said nothing."

Philen didn't know why Haita hadn't told her anything, not even Shi Yichen and Frilian had mentioned it to her.

"Maybe he forgot."

Shutark suddenly felt that something was wrong, because his master, Aize, had not mentioned this to him either. Like Philon, he had only heard about it from others.

"This is it, everyone please come in."

The young village chief led Shi Yichen and his companions to his home, where all the previous village chiefs had lived.

"It's so warm."

As soon as she entered the house, Frilian ran to the fireplace to warm herself.

"I'll go make you some tea."

As he spoke, the village chief prepared to make tea for Shi Yichen and the others.

"I'll go instead. It seems like you have something to say to Frilian."

Shi Yichen rubbed the little village chief's head and said with a smile.

"Then thank you very much, Lord Shi Yichen."

The village chief bowed slightly to Shi Yichen and said...

"I'll go help too."

As she spoke, Philon went to make tea for Shi Yichen.

Seeing this, Shutark was torn between going and not going, and finally sighed and sat down in a chair.

"Philan, what brings you here?"

Shi Yichen didn't expect that Philon would also pass.

"Come over and see if there's anything I can help you with."

Philen smiled and said to Shi Yichen.

"Then please take these cups of tea out for me."

Shi Yichen thought for a moment and then placed the tray with tea in his hand into Fei Lun's hands.

"Yes, Lord Shi Yichen."

Philen responded with a smile, saying she was happy to be able to help Shi Yichen.

"But this puts me in a difficult position, Lady Frilian. Didn't we agree to come back in half a century? Even I, who am usually so mild-mannered, am furious."

As soon as Shi Yichen and Philen went outside, they heard the little village chief speaking to Frillie in a manner that was very similar to his own.

"These are the last words of my grandmother, the village chief two years ago."

After the village chief finished speaking, he returned to his original appearance.

"I told you, it's alright if you come back in eighty years. The people of this village have guarded the Sword of the Hero for generations, so protecting themselves should be easy."

While warming herself by the fire, Frilian said to the village chief, "The Village of Swords is no ordinary village. How could they be entrusted with guarding the Hero's Sword if we didn't have some strength?"

Although Frillian is a bit lazy, she will gradually do what she says.

"That's what we mean, but we still hope you will fulfill your duties diligently."

The village chief looked embarrassed and said to Frillie, "Some things can only be done by the people involved back then."

"Don't worry, we'll take care of it. Have a cup of tea first."

Shi Yichen gently patted the little village chief's head and placed a cup of hot tea in her small hands.

"Thank you, Lord Shi Yichen."

The village chief smiled sweetly at Shi Yichen.

What does "responsibility" mean?

Philon asked, somewhat confused.

"We've eliminated the monsters! Monsters regularly appear around this village."

Frillie explained to Philon that although she didn't know where these monsters came from, clearing them out was something she had promised the previous village chief.

"Especially recently, the mountain lord has been rampant, making it impossible for us to live in peace."

The little village chief always looked angry when he talked about the mountain lord; his chubby little face was incredibly cute.

"I understand. Let's start clearing out the monsters tomorrow. Troublesome things should be dealt with as soon as possible."

After hearing the village chief's words, Frilian had no choice but to nod in agreement, since it was a promise she had made to someone long ago.

"Great! I've already booked a hotel for you. You can relax and rest here for a few days."

The village chief smiled and nodded. She had already arranged everything when Shi Yichen and the others first arrived, which was what she should do as the village chief.

"Well, thank you very much then."

Shi Yichen rubbed the little village chief's head.

"Lord Shi Yichen, this is what I should do."

The village chief smiled and nodded.

…………

the next day.

Led by the village chief, they headed towards the sacred area where the Sword of the Hero was kept. Even before they got close to the center, there were already many monsters on the outskirts.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Without Shi Yichen and Frilian even lifting a finger, Shutark and Philen eliminated the monster before them.

"There are so many monsters here, even though it's so close to the village."

"Looking at the dissipating monster corpses around him," said Shutark.

"Given the dire situation, why don't you commission other adventurers to eliminate the monsters?"

Philon was also puzzled. These monsters weren't very strong; ordinary adventurers could easily defeat them. Moreover, there were powerful people in the Land of Swords, but certain circumstances prevented them from coming.

"Although we would like to issue the commission, but..."

The village chief said with an embarrassed expression.

"But, after all, Simmel is a hero."

Shi Yichen and Frilian understood the village chief's unspeakable difficulties; there were some things that could not be known to outsiders.

Philon and Shutark exchanged glances. They didn't understand what Frilian meant by that, nor could they figure out how the two things were connected.

"Let's keep going."

The village chief led the four people onward.

"There are so many monsters here, they're all gathered outside that cave entrance."

Shutark looked at the dozens of monsters in the pit, and for some reason they were all looking into the cave entrance.

Shutark jumped down with his axe in hand. Dealing with monsters of this level was a piece of cake for Shutark.

After clearing away the monsters at the cave entrance, Shutark turned around and looked inside. To his surprise, he found a sword stuck straight into the ground inside the cave.
