The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

"This summer will be unusually hot. We're fine in the palace, but it's already getting hot in the countryside, and there are quite a few pests in the fields. In my experience, the farmers are busy dealing with them." Lorenwei grew up on the outskirts of Zerou City and had witnessed the farmers' daily routines throughout the year. Combined with the theoretical knowledge she had accumulated in another world, her knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary people.

"If they weren't going to take direct action, I wouldn't understand." The king was still puzzled: "The Tongue-Spouting Lizards are top-tier experts directly under the Fite Empire. Why would they go to such lengths to use those who have been lurking for so long? What are they after? Could they be kidnapping me like the Black Robe Organization?"

The Queen, however, was quick-witted: "That plate was originally meant to be sent to Lorenve, wasn't it?"

"Yes, Your Majesty is brilliant! I think the Fate Empire's purpose in using the Tongue-Spouting Lizards is to target me!"

The queen nodded, as expected. The king suddenly realized.

Kurara thought to herself, "Thank goodness for Lorenve's help, otherwise I wouldn't have the mental strength." She lamented that she wasn't very good at this kind of scheming and intrigue, and that the chivalrous code of honor suited her temperament better.

Putting aside feelings, from a political standpoint, she was a worthy candidate to marry her! Kurara simply stopped thinking and fully enjoyed the happiness, smiling as she watched Lorenwei talk eloquently.

Lorenwei gave a brief analysis: "My appearance in the Kingdom of Posey, and my close relationship with the royal family, especially sleeping with Kurara every day, is a signal to make the Fate Empire... afraid to take action."

She almost blurted out the phrase "I'm afraid of hurting you." But even if she had, no one would have minded too much.

“Yes, yes, that’s why Lorenve and I share a room every day,” Kurara added, her face slightly flushed.

You're clearly worried I'll eat alone. Siluf glanced at her.

Kula blushed even more, regretting that she shouldn't have interrupted.

She hesitated, wanting to say, "Don't misunderstand, Sylph." But this wasn't meant for her; it was just a way to save face in front of her mother, who had teased her.

"My daughter's quiet dedication is worthwhile," the Queen said with a smile, looking at Kurara. How could she not know her daughter was shy? She simply chose not to say it aloud.

The king pondered for a long time before saying, "So, the Fette Empire is worried that your relationship with the Kingdom of Posi might continue to develop. That's why they want to bewitch you and bring you back to the Fette Empire unharmed?"

“That’s right, it was just a slip-up.” Lorenwei raised an eyebrow. “I guess my parents must have been to the Fite Empire not long ago. The royal high command must have had contact with them, and they must have been thwarted in their attempt to establish their dominance. I’m pretty sure of it: after all, my mother is a descendant of the royal family of the Leia Empire. Even though it’s now a federation, it doesn’t affect her right to protect Leia.”

The king hesitated to express his opinion, and glanced at the queen.

The Queen laughed and said, "I guess the Fite Empire contacted your parents with a sliver of hope."

Lorenwei shrugged: "Yeah, maybe they even hinted at something about helping my mom become empress or something."

The King and Queen both thought to themselves: It's not just a matter of chance, it's almost certain!

Unfortunately, those in high positions have no idea that my parents prefer a simple, peaceful life. Otherwise, they wouldn't have retired so quickly after defeating the Demon King and gone into seclusion in the suburbs.

However, it was inappropriate to say this in front of King and Queen Percy, so Lorenwei naturally didn't say it.

If it were an ordinary group of heroes, defeating the king might make them a thorn in the side of various powerful nations, or even their next target for elimination. Too much fame could threaten a nation's rule. The principles of "discarding the bow after the birds are gone" and "overachieving someone who threatens the ruler" apply equally in this world.

However, Aethers was an exception; she was a descendant of the Leia royal family. The people most concerned were the Leia Federation's high command. They must have been terrified that Aethers would rise up, enumerate the Federation's many crimes, and then restore the Leia Empire…

With the abilities of the Hero Squad, they might actually be able to overthrow the turbulent Leia Federation.

If that really happened... Lorenwei thought to herself with delight: I would become a princess, no, a prince!

As they discussed the matter, another expert from the Fite Empire was dispatched.

The Fite Empire's order this time assigned three people.

At this moment, an invisible falcon is flying above the royal palace of the Kingdom of Persia.

Nicknamed the Hidden Warhawk, a three-star rating expert revered by the Fite Empire.

Innate ability: Invisibility during flight.

"Hmph! I didn't expect that you, the Tongue-Spitting Lizard, would fail so soon after I arrived! You've really disgraced our three-star rating system!" Warhawk gently flapped his wings in the air, having witnessed the entire process from his concealed flight.

Perhaps it shouldn't be "he," but rather "it."

Because the Warhawk is really just a huge eagle.

It is also a hybrid, but it has a serious tendency to revert to its ancestral form. The human part is only left with intelligence and language ability, while the body is entirely that of an eagle, only larger than an ordinary eagle, about the size of a swan.

I, Warhawk, will conceal myself and transmit all intelligence back in a timely manner! I will ensure that all your plans are exposed to the great Fite Empire without any cover! Warhawk thought ambitiously.

This high fighting spirit remained until an unexpected event occurred not long afterward...

Chapter 216 The Hidden Hunter has disappeared! Meilan is drooling over it...

Lorenwei analyzed the Fate Empire's intentions, and everyone knew that as long as the legendary hero's deterrent power remained, the Kingdom of Posey would still be safe.

Next, Lorenwei expressed her desire to return to the academy today.

"You're going back to the academy tomorrow?" the King and Queen asked in surprise.

“Yes. Don’t worry, the academy is relatively safe.” Lorenwei’s eyes were sharp: “The most powerful weapon against enemies is one’s own strength. We are all still in the learning stage, and this trip to the Kingdom of Posey can be considered an adventure, which has given me more motivation to strive harder.”

Looking at Lorenvi, whose eyes seemed to be shining brightly, Sylph vaguely felt that she had seen her before.

Having lost her memory, she couldn't recall that more than a decade ago, a young man with black hair had also possessed the same fighting spirit and had cultivated himself to the level of a sword saint in just two or three years.

“I’ve recently gained some insights into spatial magic, but there are still some bottlenecks I can’t overcome. In particular, the spatial ring I developed doesn’t have enough space, and I need to work harder on preventing it from being copied.” Lorenwei knew about the other world’s ability to copy technology, and she didn’t want her research to become a common, readily available technology.

Her current idea is to develop something similar to the capsules in Dragon Ball that allow the capsules to shrink and grow. Of course, this is not the same concept as the Space Ring, but the underlying theoretical techniques are quite similar.

If this technology could be developed, it would greatly enhance the defenses of the Kingdom of Percy. Lorenwei had already begun to consider things from the perspective of her in-laws in the Kingdom of Percy.

“I’m going back to the academy with Lorenve too. I need to study!” Kurara said earnestly.

“Of course we all have to go back.” Meilan, who was already restless and had no food on the table, chimed in.

Lorenwei laughed and said, "Yes, not one can be missing. I came out this time to find Kula, and I've finally found her."

Kula secretly pinched her under the table.

The Queen urged, "Please stay another night. Yesterday was an official gathering, tonight is a family gathering."

With that said, Lorenwei will definitely have to stay another night.

After a good lunch, Lorenve and Sylph exercised in the inner palace courtyard.

Guards stood watch nearby, and maids served them.

But unbeknownst to everyone, a hidden falcon was observing them from the sky in stealth mode.

That's Lorenwei! She's even more beautiful than in the rubbing. The Hidden Falcon, with its keen eyesight, clearly saw Lorenwei's real appearance.

The stealth falcon is much better than the tongue-out lizard; at least it saw a real person.

The tongue-out lizard girl lay down without even seeing Lorenvie herself...

Inside the inner palace courtyard, Kurara and Sylph fought with exceptional seriousness.

It wasn't out of spite, but rather because both women sensed the impending storm of war and were diligently accumulating combat experience through sparring.

Lorenwei then began instructing Melanie on how to skillfully use the new boxing gloves.

“Just putting on the gloves doesn’t mean you know how to use them,” Lorenwei said. “If your abilities aren’t utilized, these gloves that come with you will be crying.”

The maids on the sidelines almost laughed: Is this how you coax a child? Do you think she'll listen?

After hearing what Lorenwei said, Meilan finally agreed, "Emmm—go ahead, I'll listen carefully."

Maid: "..."

Lorenwei instructed: "Look, Thanos's complete set has five gems here. You can use these gems for physical attacks, healing, and defense, representing the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."

She explained in detail the function of each gemstone.

“Most importantly, this gauntlet has a hidden mode. Once activated, it grants a special and incredibly powerful ability…” Lorenwei said to Meilan with a mysterious expression.

Meilan's eyes widened immediately: "What ability?"

"If you snap your fingers while wearing boxing gloves, half of all life in the universe will disappear..."

"Really?! That's wonderful!" Meilan exclaimed excitedly. "How many will die?"

That would make me the true Demon King! No, if it were just ordinary people dying in the world, I would be the Great Demon Emperor who carries on the legacy!

Lorenwei: "..."

"Could we designate certain people to live?" Melanie was surprisingly compassionate. "I can't bear to part with you, Sylph, and Kurara. And Grandma too..."

Lorenvi: "Hey, hey, don't take this kind of question seriously! It's scaring me a little..."

"Huh? You said you could die by snapping your fingers?"

"Disappearance isn't death, but that's a joke, hahaha! Okay, let me tell you the truth. It's when you concentrate all your power in the back of your gauntlets, hold it there for more than a count of three, and then suddenly focus your mind, and a very powerful attack will occur!"

"What kind of attack?" Meilan asked curiously.

"Launch the attack. First, you need to understand the attack, and it's best to get into a stance. I'll teach you: bend your front leg, straighten your back leg, cross your arms in a cross shape, extend your gloved arms forward towards the target, and then shout loudly and forcefully..."

"What incantation do I need to recite?"

"It's not chanting or incantation, it's shouting out the name of the move. Incantations mobilize magic power, but this is a concentrated burst of your strength and magic power, creating an instantaneous propulsive force. Moreover, the gauntlets are bound to their owner, so once launched, they can be easily recalled."

"Teach me how to summon it first. Grandma said that before throwing something away, you should think about how to pick it up."

“…Your grandmother was truly wise,” Lorenwei exclaimed. “By the way, did you perhaps throw something away back then?”

Meilan recounted her past experiences: "Stones! Stones for shooting birds. Some stones are easy to find, and I actually go to pick them up, but they're not easy to find. And you have to shoot a bird to easily pick it up, otherwise it will fly too far away."

Poor people can't even bear to throw away a stone they can easily pick up; Meilan cried so much when she was little. Lorenwei sighed for a moment, then began to teach Meilan how to use this powerful attack, that is, the gauntlet's ultimate move.

"Okay, don't worry, I've got it. And after I turned ten, I basically never had time to post anything while shooting birds!" Meilan repeated it once and remembered it, but she didn't understand why she had to say such strange words.

However, the honest Meilan didn't care about such things and followed Lorenwei's instructions in a very strict manner.

"You're so good at hunting birds? I don't believe it." Loren smiled. If that were the case, with Melanie's gluttony, the birds of Master Mountain might have gone extinct.

The formal test begins. Meilan's front leg is bent, her back leg is straight, and her hands are crossed in a cross stance. While gathering her strength, her gloved arms are stretched forward towards the open air...

"Ultraman Missile!" Meilan's voice resounded through the sky.

Boom—the gauntlet was thrown out with a bang and flew into the sky.

Bang————————

A giant falcon suddenly appeared in the sky.

Yo——————

The falcon, which died suddenly, fell slowly to the ground as if smoking, amidst a shower of scattered, messy brown-black feathers.

"Hahaha! I hit it!" Meilan jumped high on the spot, but she was also a little puzzled. "Hey, where did this eagle come from? Oh well, never mind, it looks pretty fat!"

"It actually hit?" Lorenwei exclaimed, speechless.

However, it seems that the eagle appeared suddenly just now?
