Who taught him to restore his country like this?

Time passed slowly.

After capturing Whitewood City, Ron did not rush to attack other major cities, but instead chose to remain still and recuperate.

Although he had the ability to conquer Thorn Territory in one fell swoop, that was not what he wanted.

What he wanted was chaos. Only when the Territory of Thorns became chaotic would he have a chance to win the hearts of the people and restore his country with the support of the people.

One must take things one step at a time; there's no need to rush.

After spreading the news that the Duke's eldest son was trapped in Silver City, Ron handed over the management of Whitewood City to Reggie.

With more free time, he began to study alchemy.

It’s not about becoming a full-time master, but for the Heart of the White Lion.

Since we've decided to cause trouble in Thorn Territory, we absolutely must get our hands on the Heart of the White Lion.

He wanted not only the White Lion Heart, but also the Lion Hearts held by the other two dukes and royalty.

However, it is too difficult to seize it head-on, and even if you manage to grab it, you are likely to be targeted.

Therefore, he needs to use a method that others cannot observe to steal the Lion's Heart.

The Lionheart is not actually a mineral, but a special crystal composed of elemental spirits.

In the game, there is a magic potion that can summon the elemental spirits of the White Lion Heart little by little through the mark.

Ron plans to concoct this potion.

The prescription has now been obtained, but there are no high-level alchemists in the city, so Ron has to learn it himself.

He thought he might be a genius at alchemy.

……

In the calm before the storm, Whitewood City spent two peaceful days.

As usual, Ron got up early and went downstairs for breakfast that day.

But he saw Renee sitting at the dining table and crying loudly.

"You insulted her?"

Ron sat down at the table and looked at Reggie next to Renee, asking her a question.

“No,” Reggie said, shaking his head as he held a newspaper in his hand.

"Then why is she crying?"

Ron tore off a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth, then picked up the soup and took a sip.

“She…” Reggie looked at Ron with a strange expression, hesitating to speak.

"You can see for yourself."

She handed the newspaper to Ron.

Ron took the newspaper with one hand and glanced at its contents.

"On October 14th, King Ron Rhine of the Kingdom of Lah entered the Eternal Illusion and successfully broke through the Eternal Illusion of the Great Demon Lilith..."

"On October 17th, with the aid of the three major papal courts, the Kingdom of Orantia annihilated the invading demons, but the whereabouts of King Ron Rhine of the Kingdom of Lah remain unknown..."

"On October 17th, the Emerald Kingdom joined forces with the Kingdom of Diam..."

"On October 18th, the Church of Truth and the Kingdom of Orantia announced the whereabouts of King Ron Rhine of the Kingdom of Lah. He died in the Eternal Illusion on October 14th..."

"On October 10th, the Kingdom of Orrantia posthumously honored the great King Ron Rhinet of the Kingdom of Lach as the Fourth Hero. He was a truly worthy hero. Statues of the Fourth Hero were erected in various fortresses across Orrantia to mourn this fallen hero..."

"His Majesty Ron is dead! Waaah..."

Renee cried out in grief.

Chapter 92 If you can't hold on, run

The morning paper detailed Ron's great achievements in the Kingdom of Orrantia.

Lawrence, who provided the content, added a bit of personal emotion to it, saying all sorts of things, vividly portraying Ron's brave, fearless, and selfless heroic image.

Ron, who originally sought refuge, stepped forward because of his sense of justice and responsibility.

He broke through the Divine Purification Array, killed the Demon Commander, and advanced into the area covered by the Eternal Illusion... He stood at the forefront of everyone, collapsing from exhaustion several times.

Later, when the Kingdom of Diam caused trouble, sabotaged the advance, and attempted to kill Princess Karina, it was Ron who stepped forward.

He chose to sacrifice himself to save everyone!

I believe that everyone who reads this morning paper, except for those from the Kingdom of Diam, will feel a sense of awe and sorrow.

Reggie felt that she should also be saddened by Ron's death.

Although Ron is a bit fierce and crazy, there's no denying that he's a good person.

"Sister Reggie."

Renee threw herself into Reggie's arms, her body trembling with sobs.

Reggie gently patted the little girl's back, unsure how to comfort her.

after all……

She looked up at the opposite side.

Ron was flipping through the morning paper with a look of 'Is he finally dead?'

Seeing that Ron didn't intend to pay attention to him, Reggie looked away and silently added something in his mind.

They'll lie.

If she could, she would like to ask: "The Church of Truth says you died in the Eternal Illusion, so why are you still alive?"

She was very curious about how Ron had managed to fake his death without telling the Church of Truth.

Also, how did Ron manage to arrive in the Lionheart Kingdom on the day of his 'death'?

It should be noted that the Lionheart Kingdom and the Orantia Kingdom are separated by three kingdoms and an ocean.

But remembering what Ron had said before, "Curiosity killed the cat, don't ask what you shouldn't ask," she wisely refrained from asking.

"The fourth generation hero..."

Ron put down the newspaper and checked the faction affiliation section.

The faction you belong to will only be displayed if both sides agree on it.

For example, if Orrantia unilaterally announced that Ron was the fourth-generation hero, if Ron was unaware of it or did not accept it, this identity would not appear.

Having another identity means having more options, so Ron had no reason not to accept it.

At this point, the Kingdom of Orantia (Hero) appeared in his faction list.

'I wonder if I, a hero not recognized by the Sword of Heroes, am even fit to wield it?'

Ron couldn't help but think to himself.

The Kingdom of Orantia possesses a holy sword, which was brought out from the divine realm by the old men of the previous war between the divine kingdoms.

Because only heroes throughout history could wield it, it was also known as the Sword of Heroes.

Normally, this holy sword is in a state of disrepair, its performance no different from that of scrap metal. Only when the Demon King is born will it reveal its powerful abilities.

Only those who have earned the approval of the Sword of Heroes can wield it and are worthy of being called heroes.

Since the founding of the Kingdom of Orantia, only one hero has been born—the third generation hero.

As for the previous two generations of heroes, they both came from the kingdom that was destroyed here.

Now, Orantia finally has a second hero.

However, the title of hero was bestowed rather casually, without even obtaining the consent of the Hero's Sword.

Orantia had no choice; after all, the people of Ron were dead and the country was destroyed. The only way they could express their gratitude was by giving him a title.

The title of "brave" is undoubtedly the most appropriate and respectful.

Since the person is already dead, it doesn't matter whether the Sword of the Hero agrees or not.

Furthermore, they believed that the Sword of Heroes would not be too averse to this virtuous hero.

Is that right?

Ron thought about it seriously and gave up the idea of ​​inheriting the Sword of the Brave - he felt that the Sword of the Brave would dislike him.

Let's focus on getting the White Lion Heart first.

Speaking of this, Ron started to feel a bit of a headache again.

He discovered that he was indeed a genius at alchemy. After studying alchemy for two days, he had mastered six of his seven orifices.

I know absolutely nothing about it now.

If things continue like this, even if he succeeds in restoring his kingdom for the third time, he will have difficulty refining low-level magic potions.

Not to mention crafting high-level potions that can summon elemental spirits.

He had no choice but to abandon his idea of ​​refining medicine himself and seek out a high-level alchemist to refine medicine for him.

"Reggie, I'll be away for a few days."

After careful consideration, Ron spoke.

"Where are you going?" Reggie asked, puzzled.

"I'll be back in about five days."

Ron gave an estimated return time but did not disclose his whereabouts.

"While I am away, do not go out, even if someone asks for help. Be cautious when accepting those who come to you for refuge."

The Thorn Territory had been too calm these past two days, and he couldn't accurately predict Silver City's next move, so he instructed Reggie to take charge of the defense.

"Oh."

Reggie nodded, looking puzzled.

"If you really can't hold out, just run. Surrendering is fine too. Don't fight to the death."
