Jason was certain they wouldn't hold back.
If this kind of person is not beheaded, he will always be a villain. After all, no matter which world it is, villains possess this trait.
Why bother to warn when you know it's useless?
Jason's first goal: simply to make the king feel like trash.
Seeing a dignified king so angry that he wants to kill himself, but there is nothing he can do, he can only be helpless and furious. For some reason, Jason always finds this very satisfying.
The second purpose: Naturally, it is to mock them.
Let the king and Myne wish to eat their own flesh, drink their own blood, and keep making trouble for themselves.
Of course... Jason has no particular masochistic tendencies.
Judging from the timing of the current system sounds, they usually occur when others are making trouble for themselves.
In other words, if others make trouble for Jason, the system will appear and let him 'choose'.
The more missions he chooses, the stronger he will become.
It also means that the more troubles he has, the more opportunities he has to become stronger.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, the king and Myne are looking for trouble for Jason.
However, in Jason's view, the king and Myne are his cash machines.
Anyway, as long as the strength of these two people reaches the expected level and they can become enemies of this country, it will not be too late to clean them up.
Moreover, Jason has already seen the methods of the king and Myne in the original story, so the so-called troubles are not worth fearing for him at all.
As for Jason, why wasn't he afraid that after he warned the king, the king might kill him on the spot?
There are many soldiers around, and some magicians with considerable strength. Even if Jason now possesses 7% of the Garp template, he may not be able to defeat them all.
In fact, while it seemed dangerous, Jason was quite confident that the king would not dare to kill him on the spot.
In Jason's memory, the real power of this country is in the hands of the queen. In other words, the king in front of him is a king if it sounds good, but a son-in-law who doesn't have much dignity if it sounds bad.
He has been cowardly for so long and doesn't have the character to kill decisively.
Furthermore, Jason was holding the truth, and the other three heroes could not hear that Jason was threatening the king, so the king had no reason to encircle and suppress Jason.
If they were encircled and suppressed, then the other three heroes would definitely help Jason, because they would not dare to join forces with a king who killed a hero at will.
There is another most important reason, and that is the presence of the Pope of the Three Heroes Church.
The ambitious pope, in order to realize his own ambitions, went against the queen of this country and deliberately chose this time to summon the heroes. How could he let the king kill a hero?
Based on these reasons, Jason made this judgment.
It looks like he is walking on a tightrope, but Jason has already put wings on his back, so he is not afraid of falling into the pit at all.
...
Not long after Jason and the other three heroes left, the king was still beating his own throne in impotent rage.
The robed man who had just left before appeared before the king again.
He slowly took off the hood on his head, revealing a face that seemed to be smiling all the time, with glasses, he looked quite kind.
No matter who is in this country, if they stand here, they will be able to recognize his identity immediately. He is the pope of the large church in the capital of Melromarc, also known as the pope of the so-called Three Heroes Church.
Just as Jason had guessed.
To put it simply, the Three Heroes Church is a religion that believes in the ancient human race world holding holy artifacts: sword, bow, and spear.
At that time, because the hostile demihumans from another world held a shield as a holy artifact, there was no shield included.
"Bastard...damn the Shield Hero, not only injured Myne, but even dared to threaten me, I must kill him!!!"
Even though the pope appeared, the king still did not stop cursing.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty. Now is not the time to fight the Shield Hero."
Even though the king's words were ugly, the Pope's expression remained unchanged, and he kept his smiling face, speaking softly.
"Not the time? How long will we have to endure?"
The king's forehead was throbbing with veins, obviously on the verge of losing his mind.
"Right now, you have no reason to deal with the Shield Hero. As the saying goes, you need a pretext. If you fight against the Shield Hero in this situation, the other three heroes will not sit idly by and will definitely turn against us."
The Pope said slowly, as the setting sun fell on the glasses on his face, reflecting some light.
"Pretext? Then how do we find one?"
asked the king, frowning.
"Your Majesty, this is your country. Isn't it easy to find a reason?"
When the Pope said this, he turned and left. When he reached the center of the hall, he suddenly stopped: "The Hero of the Shield...is never a good person, is he?"
Hearing these words, the king fell into deep thought.
...
At this time, Jason had just left the palace and castle, walked across the suspension bridge connecting the castle and the city, and a breathtaking street scene appeared in front of him, full of medieval atmosphere.
The road made of stones, the neat houses on both sides, the signboards hanging under the eaves, and the setting sun cast a red light on the whole street, finally giving people a feeling of time travel.
In addition, there were many food stalls all around, emitting aromas that could not be smelled in the original world.
"What should i do next? Let's eat something first!"
Although Jason was sure that the king was thinking about how to deal with him now, he still leisurely searched for the fragrance and looked for food everywhere.
It's not that he was ignorant of danger, but rather he had absolute self-confidence.
In terms of calculations, Jason believes that no one in this country can compare to himself.
After finding a small stall that smelled good, Jason bought a pancake-like food with a few copper coins, ate it while walking, and continued to wander around the city.
If possible, he naturally wanted to find the slave trader first.
After shopping around for about 10 minutes, the slave merchant was not found, but a weapon shop appeared in front of him.
"Could it be the owner of the weapon shop from the original story?"
Jason ate the last bite of the 'pancake', and immediately strode towards the weapon shop.
As soon as the door was opened, he could immediately see all kinds of weapons hanging on the walls of the store, and there were many weapon racks next to it, displaying various equipment.
"Welcome!"
At the same time, there was a voice full of enthusiasm.
