The Hero Party Is Having Another Ordinary Day

The Demon King is about to break free of his seal. The king sends a single document to the Adventurers' Guild: "Find me a hero. A temp will do."

Bu Jie, a warrior who's cheerful on the surface but emotionally detached underneath, reluctantly takes the job.

His companions are Chuan Wu, a stone-faced spellcaster with drooping rabbit ears, and Yin Chen, a snakefolk apothecary whose words always seem to come true.

Their guide is Ban Xia, a silver-haired, red-eyed elf scholar who knows everything but never says a word.

Asked how he knows where the Hero's Sword is, he smiles. "I've been around a long time." Asked why he buys postcards, talks to cats, and watches the sunset in every place they visit, he smiles. "It might be the last time."

Along the way, they stumble across all kinds of legends:

Ling You, the greatest adventurer, vanished after sealing the Demon King, leaving only a wisp of his soul beside the sword.

A divine messenger befriended a human, then disappeared overnight after the human died.

Mention "Song Lan" to the old folk of the demon capital, and they'll wave you off: "Don't ask about the divine messenger."

Every legend seems to point the way, but each one ends at a dead end.

Yet something doesn't add up. When he says "the last time," it sounds as lighthearted as "see you tomorrow." His companions have a vague sense that he's hiding something, but none of them dares to ask. They're afraid that once they do, some things can never go back to the way they were.

Someone who can't feel sorrow, someone who records stories, someone whose words come true, and someone who knows everything but says nothing: they accompany him for one stretch of the journey.

As for what Ling You left behind, whom Jun Qian saw before he died, and why Song Lan made the demon capital fall silent, some answers will emerge along the way. Others will have to wait until the final sword is thrust in before someone asks on your behalf.
