The heroic epic of the Star Knight took place more than 200 years ago. The exact time is naturally not remembered by this uncle.

It is only remembered that after the Demon King awakened, he summoned countless followers and began to invade the continents of Sistelan, Sturt, and Gabriel. It is rumored that even the dragons were defeated by the Demon King.

It took only three years to defeat the main forces of various races on the three continents. However, due to the tenacious resistance of each race, he only conquered half of the territories, and the rest was just a matter of time.

At this time, under the guidance of the gods, a country in the continent of Sturt summoned a brave hero from another world, the Star Knight.

Under the leadership of the Star Knight, various races and demons began a fierce battle that lasted ten years, later known as the "Holy Demon Crusade."

With great sacrifices, the Star Knight and his seven companions, aided by outstanding heroes who became the eight great heroes along with the Star Knight, successfully defeated the Demon King and eradicated him!

However, nothing is perfect in the world. In the final battle, the Star Knight was cursed by the dying Demon King, which would gradually turn him into a demon.

In order to lift the curse, the Star Knight embarked on the eight trials given by the gods.

Unfortunately, he failed at the last trial, and it was said that he was only a little short of success.

By then, the Star Knight had already half-transformed into a demon. To avoid becoming the second Demon King, the Star Knight, while still conscious, pierced his own heart with the holy sword and walked alone through the trial field, ending his glorious life.

In gratitude, the gods used divine power to help him restore his human form in death and return his peaceful body to his companion, the fifth hero, the Moon Shadow Sword Saint.

The Moon Shadow Sword Saint, the Star Knight's best friend, buried him and the holy sword together in an unknown place so that no one would disturb his eternal rest. At the same time, the Moon Shadow Sword Saint disappeared, said to have accompanied his best friend until the end.

Of course, there were also rumors that the Star Knight did not die, but only wanted to be free and began to travel the continent to punish evil.

This theory was widely accepted by the public.

Having finished telling this story, Uncle Kell ordered another glass of beer with Han Mu's permission.

He then told Han Mu about some of the Star Knight's active battles during the "Holy Demon Crusade."

Such as slaying the Demon Grand Chancellor with the second hero Berserker, the sixth hero Demon Hunter, and the seventh hero Flame Mage by infiltrating the Demon King's base.

There were also stories of the Star Knight and the fifth hero, the Moon Shadow Sword Saint, killing the Demon Great General and so on while being surrounded by nearly ten thousand demons.

Han Mu was not interested in such stories, as the Star Knight probably was already dead, and even if he wasn't, it would be impossible to find him and didn't want to hear his stories anymore.

As for confirming whether or not he was truly summoned from another world, he would have to visit that so-called country on the continent of Sturt later.

As for the name of this so-called country and many other details of the legend, which were Han Mu's concerns, Uncle Kell was unsure whether the rumors were true or if he had simply forgotten.

"There are rumors that the royal family of the kingdom is the descendant of the brave, but I think it's nonsense. It should be just a rumor spread to maintain their legitimacy. The current king is so incompetent, how could it be possible…"

"Alright, alright, what's the deal with the fifth-generation brave?"

Seemingly annoyed by Han Mu cutting off the story of the Star Knight, the uncle took another bite of his meat skewer and continued.

"As for the fifth-generation brave, I don't know. They are just the product of the nobles' hype, what use are they?"

"I don't quite understand your point. I'm only concerned about one thing: whether this brave was summoned from another world or not. Do you know anything about that?"

"I think probably not. Except for the first brave, the others are just noble scions who borrowed the title. They killed a few demons and thought they were something, deceiving ordinary people. They can't deceive us well-informed adventurers."A few more common-sense questions were raised, and they were all answered one by one by the adventurer, which made Han Mu feel very satisfied.

In the future, if there is an opportunity, Han Mu would like to meet this fifth-generation hero.

Feeling that he has asked almost everything, Han Mu decided to leave.

"Well, it's getting late, and I think I should leave. Boss, please give me the bill."

"Coming!"

The sloppy boss walked up to Han Mu with the bill, and the meal cost a total of 42 copper coins.

Han Mu also ordered a cup of wine for the other person before paying the bill, bidding farewell, and leaving the restaurant.

When he returned to the hotel, as soon as he opened the door, Xiaoming pounced into Han's arms.

With a pitiful look on her face, she was like a little dog ignored by its master.

"Brother Mu Mu, why did you leave for so long and leave me here by myself! I'm angry!!"

Xiaoming pouted for a moment, her angry face round and plump, and Han Mu couldn't help but poke it lightly with his index finger.

Soft, smooth, and springy.

Gulp~

The sound of hunger came from Xiaoming's stomach, and her face immediately turned red.

"Are you hungry? Don't be mad, let's go eat together."

"I want to eat meat!"

Suddenly Xiaoming became happy again.

Indeed, women are fickle, even little devils.

They went back to Elsa's shop, and the business was still good, but what surprised Han Mu was that there was not even an adventurer today.

Although he was a little puzzled in his heart, he soon stopped caring, as it had nothing to do with him.

Elsa seemed very fond of Xiaoming's appearance, but Xiaoming seemed a bit scared of her.

Several times Elsa tried to touch Xiaoming's head, but Xiaoming dodged her.

Elsa was a bit disappointed.

After having dinner, Han Mu helped Xiaoming prepare a basin of hot water, settled her in and covered her with the quilt before he went out again.

"I have some things to do tonight but I will be back very soon."

Staring…

Xiaoming became angry again.

It was just fine earlier…

Han Mu sighed and walked to Xiaoming's bedside, patting her head.

"We need to hurry home tomorrow, so make sure you get a good night's sleep."

It seemed that Xiaoming was no longer angry, and she said pitifully.

"I know, remember to come back soon."

"Okay."

Han Mu patted Xiaoming's head again and turned off the oil lamp.

He watched as Xiaoming closed her eyes, then put on his cloak and left the hotel, heading towards the city hall.

He received a report from the soldiers on the city wall, claiming that someone had seen what seemed like a resurrected undead at the abandoned tomb outside the northern adventurers' area.

The soldier on the city wall reported the information to the guard captain, and the guard captain handed the report to the governor, Viscount Leopold Weir Harrison.

The governor, who was overwhelmed by a certain matter, casually ordered the guard captain to send a squad of soldiers to investigate.

The resurrection of the undead was not a very common occurrence, but it was not uncommon in this world.

Basically, these slow undead were not difficult opponents. The newly dead corpses controlled by evil wizards and transformed into zombies could be more troublesome.

These skeletons, which have been dead for who knows how many years, are just low-level skeleton warriors when resurrected, without muscles and wizard enhancement, they can be easily destroyed.

After receiving the governor's order, the guard captain returned to his office area and called for the deputy soldier, Mori, who was on standby.

The order from the superior was quickly conveyed to Mori, who immediately put down his wine glass and asked his subordinates to keep quiet.Immediately go to see the Guard Commander.

The Guard Commander ordered him to lead his soldiers to investigate the abandoned adventurer's cemetery to the north and eliminate any undead found.

Morrie, who received the order, felt very unlucky, as this was not supposed to be his job. However, because everyone else had been sent out to search for a noblewoman, only he happened to be available.

He went back and woke up some sleeping subordinates, counted the number and found two people missing, not knowing where they were fooling around.

He wrote down their names and planned to punish them heavily after completing the task.

With the Guard Commander's order in hand, he showed it to the soldier guarding the city gate. The gate opened a crack to allow the torch and oil lamp-carrying soldiers to pass through. Perhaps it was because it was evening, the group was somewhat scattered.

"Newbie, are you scared?"

An old soldier teased a new recruit.

"Not...not scared at all."

"But your voice is trembling a little."

"It's not like that. I'm just a little cold."

Morrie didn't intend to stop his soldiers' conversation behind him, as he had also worked his way up from a new recruit and knew the benefits of such conversation.

First, it would help to dispel their fatigue. Secondly, it would help to ease the tension between new recruits by making fun of them. Lastly, as long as the conversation didn't go too far, it could also strengthen the friendship among subordinates.

Morrie didn't think of himself as a gloomy person, and he didn't manage his troops as strictly as some noble knights did.

He didn't want his subordinates to be gloomy; he wanted them to form friendships centered around himself, solidifying them into a united force.

Soon, the destination was not far behind the large tree in front. When he was a new recruit, he also came here to clear the undead, which were mostly small characters like skeletons.

Moreover, there were only three of them at that time.

At that time, a somewhat strict soldier made it a good opportunity to train new recruits, letting him deal with one of them.

Every year, there would be some cases of the dead coming back to life, and the soldiers who were assigned these tasks would generally treat them as opportunities to train new recruits.

"All of you draw your weapons and be on guard!"

He issued the command to arm themselves while moving the new recruits to the front.

Seeing these tremble with fear, Morrie sighed, thinking that the new recruits of these two years were much worse than those of previous years.

When he was assigned to deal with skeletons, although he was afraid inside, he didn't even break into a cold sweat, let alone tremble.

However, fear was natural since they were dealing with dead creatures who hated the living, had hollow eyes filled with darkness, and were born with some low-level fear effects.

But he still managed to kill one by himself at the time.
