Hero? Are You Worthy?

Chapter 312: Chapter 196: Burn (3)

These two people were none other than the noble swordsman Ronald and one of the Twin Thieves, Aileen, who were trapped in the monster territory.

Ronald was a true reflection of his noble lineage.

The Prince paled in comparison to Ronald, lacking a certain flair.

Onions, when compared to Ronald, lacked a certain strength.

This was a handsome man of stunning appearance and elegant demeanor.

Even though he had been trapped in the monster’s territory for many days, Ronald had maintained the dignity of his nobility; his exquisite attire had barely been soiled.

Such attire was not suited for battle, but Ronald would rather die than dress in the cumbersome armor of a common warrior, wielding a battle axe or chopper.

His hair was always neatly combed and glossy, showing no sign of being trapped in the monster territory for an extended period.

The only thing that was somewhat intolerable for Ronald was the terrible environment; the air was filled with filth, the ground littered with demon droppings, and despite his utmost care, he often inadvertently stepped in some disgusting muck.

Whenever that happened, Ronald couldn’t help but let out a cry of distress, and his skin would break out into large and small hives due to allergies... Then he would hastily pull out a Water Magic Scroll from his Space Ring, meticulously clean the sole of his shoe, or even directly switch to a spare pair of shoes.

Worse still was the lack of food befitting his status.

Due to inadequate planning, he had thought it would be easy to obtain Lord Jie Luo’s Soul Fragment and then withdraw from the demon territory, but to his dismay, that damned Luo Meng had learned of his whereabouts. That man had mobilized tens of thousands of magic-wielding monsters, sealing off the entire territory with a powerful barrier, trapping him here.

Although it was possible to break through with brute force, it would take time, and that delay would be enough for the monsters to encircle Ronald.

This damned situation had also led to insufficient food for Ronald, forcing him to stave off hunger with wild beasts, unable to cook with fire and thus having to eat raw.

Long-term consumption of such poor food had even caused his skin to lose its original smoothness and delicacy.

Holy Light Goddess above.

When had Ronald ever suffered such indignities?

He swore that one day he would cleanse the world of all these filthy and vile creatures, who did not deserve to live in this world.

Compared to him, the situation of the girl next to him was much rougher.

This girl had a face very similar to Aili’s, as if they were carved from the same mold.

However, unlike her sister who tied her hair into twin ponytails, Aileen’s dark brown hair simply hung naturally behind her, giving her a more timid impression compared to her sister’s vivacity.

At this moment, Aileen’s long hair was a messy tangle, resembling a bird’s nest.

Her Thief’s leather armor had not been attended to for a long time, with rough frayed edges.

Looking at the meat slices that Ronald had carefully cut with a dagger, ensuring uniform size, thickness, and shape, and had even cleaned with Water Magic, Aileen shook her head slightly, "Sorry, I have no appetite."

"Fair lady, I know... this dreadful food is a desecration to your delicate lips and pearly teeth," Ronald’s voice, much like a wandering poet’s, was imbued with a special magnetic quality and melody.

"But we don’t have much choice now."

"We must replenish our physical strength regardless. It’s still unclear how long we’ll be trapped here; without sufficient strength, we’d be in great danger."

"I am very sorry that because of me, you have fallen into such a predicament," Ronald apologized sincerely.

He had a good impression of most members of the Hero Team.

Sweet and innocent Rose Vesper, exceptionally bright Asina, noble and proud Silf... These three were particularly in line with Ronald’s aesthetic preferences... mainly in terms of temperament.

Aileen and Aili, although not as graceful, had their own charm in their youthful innocence and cuteness.

He despised Muse, Karsas, Benson... and Catherine.

In Ronald’s eyes, these four were nothing more than brute gorillas.

Aileen hesitated but eventually took the meat slice and began to chew slowly, "I don’t blame you, Ronald."

"I’m worried about something else."

"What is it?"

"Just now, Rose Vesper sent me a message. The Hero Team has added eight new members," Aileen said.

Ronald’s delicate fingers suddenly twitched, his slicing of the meat grew uneven, lacking the uniformity of before.

This sight seemed to utterly infuriate him. His hands trembled, and his handsome face twisted into a snarl... After a few seconds, Ronald suddenly stood up, agitated, flinging the knife and the meat to the ground as he roared in a lowered voice, "Damn it, what is going on?"

"Who allowed others to join without our consent?"

He might dislike the barbaric foursome like Catherine, but he recognized them as companions since they had been chosen by Jie Luo.

As long as Jie Luo recognized someone, he would too.
