In the Age of Heroes, I am a background noble

The Spear Hero raised his spear.

The silver spear pointed at the Shield Hero's face. At this moment, the Spear Hero Yuankang felt that he was extremely lucky today. He finally had the chance to be proud!

He was still brooding over letting the Shield Hero, the rapist, go. If the noble who later invested in him had not informed him about the Medici family, the Spear Hero would have come knocking on his door long ago.

"Haha, you can kneel down, but the crime doesn't exist. Why should I admit it if I didn't commit a crime?"

"Tsk, you coward."

"Just wait and see if Mr. Green will show mercy and save your stray dog."

The farce was over quickly. The other nobles just laughed and regarded it as a daily entertainment. Some people who were curious were even starting to make a profit.

The classic story of Thirty Years in the East and Thirty Years in the West is here.

Somewhat drifting bastard.

Do you think being a hero is that great? To put it bluntly, if you spend more money, you can summon more.

Green snapped his index finger, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

Those who knew him knew that he was quite angry at the moment.

After all, he is a madman who walked down from the battlefield. Although he seems to be very kind on weekdays and even often talks trash without caring about his noble image, people who are familiar with Green know that he is quite ruthless.

He has retained the good qualities of the Chinese people. He is a madman who believes that if you offend me, I will kill your entire family. Although he will not really kill your entire family, he will never let go of the weak who show hostility towards him.

Kill him directly?

No, killing the hero now would be equivalent to falling out with the royal family.

Due to the special status of the hero, it is difficult for Green to attack him without any reason. Moreover, he is the hero of the spear. Currently, many people in the royal capital believe that he will become the strongest among this group of heroes.

Unless a brave man stronger than him appears.

"Naofumi Iwamine, cripple him. Break his gun hand! Pull the tendons out of his hamstrings!" Green approached his subordinate who was clenching his fists and looking fierce, and gave him orders word by word with a smile.

There was a storm in the calm, like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadow of the slanting moon. The strong murderous intent scared the Shield Hero who was still furious. Was his boss actually this kind of person?

That seems a bit extreme, Lord Green.

To be honest, although he is not a standard Japanese anime Asahi-style male protagonist, the Shield Hero wants to take revenge for the slander he suffered, but his intention is limited to giving the person a good beating.

Break your hand?

"Do you really have to go this far, Lord Green?"

"Well, isn't this nice?"

Patting his subordinate on the shoulder, Green showed a strange expression, which gave the Shield Hero a very familiar sense of déjà vu. It seemed that there was something wrong with the style of his boss.

The image of a sinister and cunning aristocrat!

"If you destroy him, the Spear Hero will no longer be able to retaliate against you. The weak have no right to slander the strong, so why not do it?"

"Don't be anxious, just do it. There's nothing to be afraid of."

Don't you need to be afraid?

Green's extremely persuasive words made Naofumi Iwamine unable to say no, and the chaotic fear in his heart was burned away like wildfire.

Yes, now he is not alone.

The Shield Hero Naofumi Iwamine's throat rolled and his tone became firm.

"I see."

As relieved.

Chapter 5 Duel

Duel field

Time: The Shield Hero and the Spear Hero's Invitational Duel

Number of viewers: 1000+

The news of the duel of heroes spread very widely, and basically all the idle nobles in the royal capital came to watch and have some fun. In this era of lack of entertainment, there were few other interesting things to do except eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

The atmosphere was so heated that the standing room near the arena was already full. This was the cheapest viewing spot, and even ordinary people had the spare money to buy it.

Perhaps because the financial sector in the royal capital is relatively developed, the people in the audience all have healthy complexions, wear clothes with few patches, and are in good spirits.

A staff member standing in the crowd had simple words written on a wooden board with charcoal hanging on his chest, which were about the odds of this time.

"Five more minutes! Five more minutes!"

"The Shield Hero, the odds of being defeated in five minutes are 1 to 5!"

"Gun Hero"

"Quack, that's awesome! Even if I die, it's worth it to see the heroes fight!"

"Why are you talking so weird? Forget it, I want to buy a silver coin, and the Shield Hero will be defeated in three minutes!"

People who wanted to make a fortune naturally flocked to the scene, paid their own money, and received the receipts. The trend was 100% in favor of the Gun Hero.

"It must be the Spear Hero! The Shield Hero and the like are pretty weak, right?"

"The Shield Hero is a strong bastard! Does he deserve to win? I'm betting one silver coin on the Spear Hero!"

"I bet ten copper coins!"

"I"

Green was one of them, but he was sitting in the VIP seat.

"Don't let me down."

Right now in the arena, the Shield Hero and the Spear Hero have already arrived.

"Your tea, my Lord."

The maid in the arena handed over black tea and desserts, and Green naturally enjoyed them while calculating in his mind how much he could earn if the Shield Hero won.

He also bet a thousand gold coins.

My name is Naofumi Iwamine, and I’m a fairly ordinary Japanese university student.

I finished college in an ordinary way, then had an ordinary interview everywhere, and finally found a job in an ordinary company. I will die in an ordinary way. However, I didn't expect that I, an ordinary person, would become a hero!

But why is the Hero the weakest? It's said that the background here is a popular foreign game in the real world. The other heroes have played it, and they say that the Shield Hero is the weakest because it is difficult for him to kill monsters directly!

Damn it! But even so, I will work hard! To become a qualified hero!

asshole!

Why are you all looking at me like this? I clearly didn't have any intention of raping the princess. I even only exchanged a few words with her. Why are you treating me like this?

I clearly did nothing wrong!

A bunch of evil, fat-brained nobles!

Luckily, Lord Green saved me and pledged his honor to protect me. Otherwise, I would be finished! I would be imprisoned and never see the light of day again!

I became a knight of Lord Green's family and he asked me to cripple the guy with the gun. Is it really necessary to do this?

It doesn't seem right, but it seems okay

But the Lord has told me to obey my oath.

In a trance, the memories of the past half month flashed through his mind, and the Shield Hero Naofumi Iwamine regained consciousness and looked around.

The open-air arena, the stupid audience, the teasing eyes and expressions of the nobles in the private rooms on the high platform, is Lord Green watching them?

In the vast crowd, he seemed to find the only encouragement among the malicious visions, which made him feel the strength of his body surge.

"In that case, I must keep my promise."

He lowered his voice so low that only he could hear it.

"For Lord Green's kindness, for my innocence, for the grief of those greedy nobles, and for the honor of my family."

The man pulled his hair back, the diamonds on the divine shield on his forearm gleaming brightly. He looked at the Spear Hero who was still waving to the audience, his eyes gradually becoming sharper.

Accompanied by the summer wind, the arena was filled with one-sided shouts. Ninety-nine percent of them were cheering for the Spear Hero. Only a few gamblers who wanted an upset hoped that the Shield Hero could hold on for a while.

"Defeat him! Master Motoyasu!"

"Damn you, Shield Hero! You're not fit to be with other adults!"

"Beat him, beat him!"

"Damn it, you have to defeat him within three minutes, Gun Hero, right? Come on!"

"Come on, big brother with the gun!"

"Yes, obey my oath."

Yes, they are cheering!

Hail the great brave!

"Thank you for your love! My dear friends from another world!"

"I will definitely win this! Thank you for your support and love!"

The Spear Hero, Yuan Kang, was wearing a red robe, the silver spear in his hand gleaming in the sunlight, his long golden hair draped around his waist like an angry lion, but he was defeated by that smug face.

He was really happy. Few people could refuse the sincere love of others. Normal heroes were very popular among the common people, and most nobles would not discredit them.

Then, the blond warrior turned around, raised his proud head and thrust out his spear in provocation.

"I didn't expect you to actually come. I thought you would be too scared to come."

Ah.

You really look down on me.

The Shield Hero snorted, lowering his center into a fighting stance and placing his shield against his chest.

Form Transformation Magic Shield Medici Family Alchemy Product

In the blink of an eye, his shield turned into an alchemical shield covered with magic patterns, which is the strongest type of defense that Naofumi Iwamine has.

In addition to their exclusive skills, the heroes also have special abilities. For example, the Shield Hero can simulate the shield into some special materials and shapes.

For example, there is a round vine armor shield made of hemp rope, or a clover-shaped concentric shield, etc. However, these all require skill points. The magic pattern shield consumes the most skill points of the Shield Hero, and naturally it is also the one with the strongest defense.

"Since I have promised, I will not regret it."

Alchemical items?

This change changed Yuankang, the Spear Hero's originally nonchalant attitude. He was not really a fool. He recently inquired about the situation of the Medici family and found that the Green family was rich in alchemical weapons made with ancient magic pattern technology.

Obviously, the Shield Hero used this weapon.

But that's it.

Ha ha.

"You're so brave! Where do you get that confidence from? It really is an alchemical item from the Medici family. You're so lucky to be favored by Green."

"But, the weak are still the weak. What can a mere shield do?

Raising his spear, the spear hero Yuankang's spear also changed from an ordinary silver spear into a cross spear inlaid with several gems and with a cool shape.

All heroes have cheats, and the Shield Hero is not the only one.

After the referee announced the rules, with an order, the two heroes moved at the same time. The fastest one was the Gun Hero!

"Piercing gun!!!!"

call out!

Like a red arrow, the voice of the Spear Hero turned into a meteor, and flew out like an arrow the moment the voice fell. This is the Spear Hero's sprint skill!

So fast!

"Bang!!"

Damn, this is way faster than the low-level monsters!

He narrowly blocked this charge, and the cross spear and the magic shield collided violently with each other, making a harsh sound in the air.

Naofumi Iwamine's face changed drastically. If it weren't for the reaction he had developed from the recent long-term fighting, he would have been out now!
