This time, I won't be the devil.

"what's up?"

In response to Didoris's questioning, Frey made up an excuse.

"You know, I'm not the only one in the MyGO team. I need to ask my teammates for their opinions on this commission."

When Frey mentioned his teammates, Didoris immediately understood.

"Is that the beautiful girl who scented you?"

Before Frey could answer, Tidoris puffed up her cheeks and said:

"So, you want to leave me and find another woman?"

"Dido, how can you assume someone's gender? That's my brother!"

"Brother without a dick?"

"Forehead…"

Looking at Frey, who looked puzzled, Tidoris explained:

"Don't underestimate the power of an aerodynamicist. I can tell whether it's a man or a woman by the smell."

After a while, just when Frey was standing there in a daze, not knowing how to answer, Didoris took the initiative to give him a way out.

"Let's forget about it today. Go away."

"Then I'll take my leave. See you tomorrow."

After getting permission from Didoris, Frey walked out of the reception room.

After his back disappeared, Didoris sighed softly and lit another cigarette...

Before leaving the courtroom, Frey borrowed a file about the 50 recipients of the Human Hero Medal.

Afterwards, he did not go to Noelle to discuss the matter as he had said, but went directly to a nearby hotel and booked an hourly room.

The reason why he was in a hurry to leave was to confirm the truth about the 86th Company as soon as possible.

After locking the door, closing the window, and making sure there was no one else around, Frey took out the space ring hidden deep in his clothes and took out a piece of information from it.

This was the information Frey brought out from the Demon King's Castle, recording the history of the holy war between humans and demons. He quickly found the content related to the 86th Company.

Among all the companies in the Great Expedition, the 86th Company was the most special. They were organized and rushed to the front line in the final stage of the Great Expedition.

Although the Great Crusade resulted in a victory for humanity, in fact, throughout the entire expedition, the army of the Theocracy, except for some victories achieved through sneak attacks in the early stages, basically spent the rest of the time in a stalemate and attrition war with the demons.

Although there were frequent reports of victory within the Theocracy, as the saying goes, war reports can be deceiving, but the battle lines cannot. Although the Theocracy continued to invest new troops, it had yet to make any substantial progress.

Towards the end of the expedition, with the continuous consumption of troops and supplies, the expeditionary force gradually fell into a disadvantage. It was in this situation that the 86th Company was deployed to the battlefield.

Unlike the other 85 expeditionary companies composed of elite troops from the Holy Light Knights and the army, the members of the 86th Company basically all came from lower-class backgrounds, and many of them were orphans who grew up in orphanages.

The demons have not investigated the specific origins and experiences of these people. The only thing that is certain is that their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of other companies.

Moreover, the members of the 86th Company are extremely strong-willed and even fearless of death. Even if their hands and feet are broken, as long as they still have a breath, they will continue to attack the demons like mad dogs.

At the end of the expedition, they launched several suicide attacks, causing huge losses to the demon army. They also acted as a death squad and captured several important strategic strongholds, greatly reversing the disadvantages of the Church.

Under this kind of combat style, the 86th Company suffered extremely heavy casualties. By the beginning of 970, when the Great Crusade was about to end, only 86 people were left in the 13th Company.

But it was these 13 people who actually went deep into the enemy's territory alone and fought all the way to the Demon King's city. In the end, it was the rat-headed man Keblis, one of the three kings of the demon clan, who personally took action and annihilated the 86th Company at the cost of being seriously injured and falling asleep.

This rat-headed man, Keblis, was the leader of the pro-war faction of the demon clan. It was precisely because of his slumber that the pro-war faction of the demon clan later declined.

For such a legendary company, the demon clan's data naturally has a detailed record. Looking at the entire Great Expedition, no one is more worthy of the title of "Heroes of Humanity" than the 86th Company.

However, in the records of the Theocracy, all traces of the 86th Company's existence were erased.

At this moment, after looking through the records of the Theocracy on the Great Crusade and the resumes of 50 high-ranking Vatican officials who had received the Human Hero Medal, and comparing them with the information on the Demons, Frey understood the reason behind this.

Most of these recipients of the Human Hero Medal were from prominent backgrounds. Some were close confidants of bishops, some were sons of grandmasters of the Knights Templar, and some were nephews of priests.

All the military achievements of the 86th Company were attributed to these second-generation officials of the Vatican.

Relying on these military achievements that did not belong to them, this group of second-generation officials continued to be promoted and became rich and powerful.

However, all evidence of the real hero, the 86th Company, was wiped out, and it became a non-existent company.

What's even more ironic is that the achievements of this group of heroes can now only be found in the records of the demons who are their enemies.

After understanding the truth, an inexplicable anger surged in Frey's heart.

He remembered the contents of Robin Hood's letter:

I will take back what belongs to me someday. From the 86th Company, Phantom Thief Robin Hood.

This Phantom Thief Robin Hood is most likely the survivor of the 86th Company.

At this point, it is no longer appropriate to call him a phantom thief.

After all, compared to Robin Hood, these "human heroes" in high positions, including Keith, are the real thieves.

Chapter 23 White Album

After finding out the truth about the 86th Company, Frey put the information back into the space ring.

Now that he knew the truth, he couldn't help but feel nauseous when he thought of Qi Si's hypocritical appearance.

Those who usurp the merits of others and blaspheme heroes will be thrown into the rebirth pool even if they are placed in the demon clan.

(Note: The Rebirth Pool is a torture method in the comic "Martial God" (Sea Tiger series). In order to pass the review, I will not expand on it here. Friends who are interested can search it directly on B station)

But Frey will not break up with Qis because of this. With his current strength, he is not yet at the point where he can overturn the table.

Frey's current soul strength is 5.0, and the level cap is 50. If he just wants to live a stable life, that's more than enough.

But after seeing the current state of the Theocracy, he realized that if he wanted to break free from the constraints of this corrupt system, he would need even greater power.

In the human camp, the true pinnacle of combat power is the nine agents who have reached level 70.

An agent is someone who can directly act on behalf of the gods' power. Among the seven gods, Alice, the god of light and contract who possesses enormous faith, has three agents, and the other six gods each have one.

Since the power of the agent comes from the gods, there are many restrictions on its use. In Frey's view, the so-called agent, to put it bluntly, is a tool used to carry the power of the gods.

The reason why the fighting power of the hero and the demon king can reach the extraordinary level is because they are respectively the agents of the power of the seven gods of mankind and the three pillars of the demon clan.

Now that he has finally gotten rid of his identity as the Demon King and regained his freedom, Frey does not want to be manipulated by the gods for power this time.

As a player, he has a way to increase the level cap without relying on the power of the gods.

Thinking of this, Frey had an idea, and then he took out a book with a black cover and a mysterious aura from the void.

Unlike the information stored in the space ring, this book was really taken out of thin air, as if it did not belong to this world.

[Witness]: An inherent talent gained by understanding the principles of the world, it grants the holder the [Identification] skill and the qualification to read the Book of Fools.

This is the Witness's unique talent, another thing given to Frey - [Book of Fools]

In the game "Dark Souls", every player will have his or her own Book of Fools. According to the meaning of Tarot cards, the Fool symbolizes adventure and departure. This Book of Fools is equivalent to a travel log, which will record the various tasks completed by the player and issue corresponding rewards.

When the game was first launched, the player level cap was 50. With the updates of subsequent versions, by the time Frey traveled through, the player level cap had been raised to 60, and the Book of Fools was given another important function.

Every time a page of the Fool's Book is completed, the player's soul strength will increase a little, thereby increasing the level cap.

In a sense, the Book of Fools is equivalent to the player's cheat code.

But the Book of Fools in Frey's hand is completely different from the one in the game.

The content of the book is blank, without any words or patterns, and it cannot be written on. It looks like a white photo album.

In the six months since the time travel, Frey has checked the contents of the book every day, but to this day, the Book of Fools has not changed at all.

As for this item from another world, Frey searched through all the information but could not find any relevant information.

If Frey wanted to reach level 50 or above, he would need the power of the Book of Fools, but he had not found a way to use it.

However, he is far from worrying about the level cap yet. Even if he wants to investigate the Book of Fools, he will have to wait until his strength improves.

In Frey's opinion, instead of waiting for the favor of the golden finger, it is better to work hard to do the things at hand.

His current goal is to explore the maze and upgrade it as soon as possible, but for now, he has to focus on dealing with this TGA.

After making up his mind, Frey put away the Book of Fools, left the inn, and returned to the Tavern Gensokyo.

It's past 9 o'clock in the evening and it's not closing time yet, but the door is already locked.

From a distance, one could see the burly boss Van Dam standing in front of the door like a giant Buddha.

Frey greeted the boss and after asking around, he learned that the news that he had won the TGA had spread throughout the entire maze city, and naturally, some people recognized him as the street singer in the tavern.

After the box was opened, a group of guys who wanted to find out about Frey came to the tavern, seriously disrupting business, so the owner simply kicked everyone out and closed the tavern early.

"Sorry to trouble you, boss."

"It's nothing. These people will calm down in a couple of days."

"Besides, you defeated the Rotten Giant. I should thank you on behalf of those Iron-rank guys. You are indeed worthy of being recognized by the Dark Knight."

After hearing what his boss said, Frey realized that he had defeated the elite monster that killed a large number of adventurers, which should have been a great achievement.

But today everyone only cares about his TGA achievement and therefore harbors ill will towards Frey. Only Van Damme recognizes his achievements.

Van Dam patted Frey's shoulder with his thick palm and said:

"Since you have the Dark Knight's Soul Crystal in your hand and have completed my commission this time, you can be considered my friend."

"If you have any difficulties in the future, or if you are bullied, tell me. There is no one in the entire Labyrinth City that I can't beat."

Hearing his boss say this, Frey felt a warmth in his heart.

For him now, Gensokyo is a place similar to home.

Although Frey can now support himself by exploring the maze, he has no plans to leave the tavern for the time being, because not only can he get all kinds of information here, but living next to a level 40 strong man also makes him feel more secure.

When Frey entered the tavern and was about to go back to his room to rest, the owner told him:

"By the way, if you have time, please help clean up the grocery room next door. The daughter of a friend of mine might be staying here for a few days."

Hearing that he was Van's friend, Frey couldn't help but wonder if he was also a homosexual, but since he had a daughter, that shouldn't be the case.

It seems that the boss also has normal friends.

After returning to the room, Frey, who had been tired all day, took off the armor that was blessed by the forest fairy.

Since the armor had the effect of increasing his sensitivity, he felt even more tired after taking it off.
