My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 423 325: Summoning of Heroic Spirits, What Does It Mean for Zeus to Descend?

Xue Dili and that little beggar had been separated for no more than 20 seconds before he was killed.

Through their previous interaction, Xue Dili learned that while the little beggar appeared to be a beggar, his ancestors were likely nobles, as he was always talking about reclaiming his ancestral glory.

Then, upon successfully summoning a Heroic Spirit and securing a spot in the "Great Expedition," he naively believed himself to be the Chosen One, and treated everyone with arrogance, just like he did with that guard.

He even naively began to trust the nobility, foolishly distancing himself from Xue Dili.

The first time Xue Dili tried to speak to him reasonably, he chose to command; the second time, Xue Dili was prepared to heal him with Cursed Blood, but he chose to refuse; and this time, after choosing to separate from Xue Dili, Xue Dili no longer helped him.

As for this mansion and the Count's household...

Nobles? Interesting, considering he truly loved the nobility.

He strode into the Count's banquet.

Bright magic chandeliers stood against the ceiling, illuminating the gilded dome, while steam-driven gears slowly turned, and fine mist-like white smoke sprayed from the gear interlocks.

The long table was laid out with a sumptuous feast, with a dignified middle-aged noble seated at the head, as velvet-like cushions adorned the benches in front of the dining table.

Next to him, a young noble lady leaned against a gilt handrail chair inlaid with enamel.

The butler in a tailcoat silently bowed and said, "Count, the Heroic Spirit has been invited."

"Please, quickly invite him!" the dignified middle-aged man said excitedly.

The next moment, Xue Dili glanced at the arrangement of the place and smiled, as the lenses of his glasses reflected the light from the chandelier on the dome, and outside the window, the pure white steam seemed to thicken the city's mist.

"Hello, unknown Heroic Spirit, I am Count Laurent, once a Mysterious Noble promoted through the Great Expedition, still participating in the Great Expedition to uphold the glory of my ancestors. I know you are very confused about why you are in this world, and the story of the Great Expedition and the nobility, so we have long prepared intelligence for you." the Count said, giving a nod to the young lady beside him.

The young lady, clad seemingly only in pure white gauze, stood up silently, handed a leather-bound booklet to Xue Dili, and gave him a deep bow, during which she slightly exposed the scant chest she had managed to squeeze out.

Xue Dili didn't even glance at this little gesture, merely picked up the booklet silently.

This is the home planet of the Ninth Apostle, so when Xue Dili arrived in this world, he originally thought it would be an end-time like world, or a nation with a focus on "Life", but now it seems this world is more "ordered" than he imagined.

Leaving aside the Great Expedition and the so-called odd "Summoning of Heroic Spirits," it's like a normal world during the First Industrial Revolution.

He flipped through the booklet silently, where handwritten characters appeared, and the knowledge in his mind, along with the translation module left by the Great Sage, began to function together, soon allowing Xue Dili to understand the language of this world.

He quietly folded the booklet and placed it on the dining table, exhaling a long breath.

"Heroic Spirit, the war between Humans and the Demon Race is about to commence. We hope to participate in this Great Expedition, so we wish for you to protect my daughter this time, and likewise, fulfill your duties for the sake of humanity." the Count spoke politely on the surface, but seemed to regard Xue Dili merely as a hired hand.

However, Xue Dili squinted his eyes slightly.

He now temporarily understood a portion of the world's information, which is divided into two continents: one fertile Great Plain known as the Human Realm, the other desolate wasteland filled with sulfur and toxic gases, known as the Demon Realm.

Themselves, they call the Human Race, while referring to the other continent's race as the "Demon Race."

Every hundred years, the Human Race and Demon Race each choose a group of chosen children, who summon renowned historical heroes, most of whom had previously participated in Great Expeditions, akin to the "Rebirth of the Filth" method to have them battle, and hold a "Great Expedition" on a giant isolated island between the two continents.

In essence, the chosen children from both the Human and Demon Races and their Servant Demons and Heroic Spirits fight on that island, with the winning continent becoming the Human Realm, a paradise of singsong birds and favorable weather, while the losing continent turns into a Purgatory filled with sulfur and toxins.

And now, the time of the next Great Expedition is upon us. For the Humans, it will be the 13th Great Expedition, after enjoying 1300 years of the Mortal World's beauty from 12 consecutive Great Expedition victories.

Each Great Expedition has a special mystical technique broadcasting scenes of the island to various places, thus many returning children successfully promote from commoners to nobility, and many noble children can further prosper their families.

Therefore, after successfully completing the Heroic Spirit Descent, the little beggar immediately excitedly proclaimed himself as noble.

Xue Dili reclined back tactically.

So it seems, I was meant to descend as an alien, but was rejected by the world, only relying on their "Heroic Spirit Descent" ritual to degrade into this form and participate in the Great Expedition?
