In a manor that looked quite old-fashioned in the city, a diligent gardener was trimming the flowers and plants, the coachman was driving the carriage towards the stable in the backyard, while some maids were tidying up the rooms and others were mopping the floors.
Inside the dining room, a sumptuous lunch was laid out on the long table. Bread was spread with cheese and dipped in sweet honey, and the leg of lamb had been carefully roasted by the chef, topped with a very rare spice!
After hastily eating a few bites, Pirus ran back to his room. He felt a surge of excitement about his encounter today; could he really become a legendary hero and save all of Brobdingnag?
“Teacher, are you still there?” Pirus quietly called out from his room. Bai, who claimed to be from the Fairy Clan, said he had come with a divine mission, sensing that disaster was about to strike Brobdingnag. He had come to select the next hero to save the continent, and Pirus was chosen as his disciple to inherit this heroic legacy!
Thinking about such a grand and majestic event about to happen to him, Pirus could hardly sit still. As soon as he finished his meal, he returned to his room.
“Yes, Pirus. I just arrived here from the distant Island of Life, so I am not quite familiar with the current situation in Brobdingnag or where this place is. Can you explain it to me?”
Unbeknownst to Pirus, there were several figures hiding in his backpack on the table, stifling their laughter while watching him intently. Pirus only knew that he had to perform well in front of his teacher if he wanted to become the next hero.
“Teacher, Brobdingnag has now split into two countries: Eastern Brobdingnag and Western Brobdingnag. The two nations have been fighting continuously. We are in Grud of Eastern Brobdingnag!” Pirus spoke into the air. Although he could see nothing, he felt that his teacher was watching him closely; he could sense his teacher's magical power feeling his spirit, thoughts, and sincerity.
“I need to be more sincere!” Pirus thought.
Bai Yujing then asked, “I remember that Brobdingnag used to have its capital called Lobrugrud. Why is it built in such a remote place? This seems like the edge of the continent?”
Pirus nodded, “Yes, I heard my teacher mention that the original capital was called Robrugrud. However, after the country split two hundred years ago, it became like this. Since both nations have been at war and Eastern Brobdingnag has lost more than it has won, they later moved their capital here for safety at the edge of the continent!”
“Oh, I see!” Bai Yujing began to understand the current situation of this Giant Country.
Bai Yujing then recalled something: "Oh right, I remember there was a smaller human who looked like you all and had reached Brobdingnag. Have you heard of him?"
"Are you talking about the little man in the bottle, Lemuel Gulliver? The one who, according to legend, bewitched the great King Brobdingnag the Eleventh, plunging the entire continent into darkness, ultimately leading to the division of Brobdingnag? Oh, of course I know him; here, he is known by everyone! He brought war and disaster to the entire continent, and it is even said that the drought from a few years ago was also due to this demon," Pirus exclaimed in a series of astonished remarks.
Bai Yujing did not expect Lemuel Gulliver to have such fame here, even being referred to as a demon. The division of Giant Country had led to over two hundred years of war; that was truly insane.
Pirus, being rather innocent, did not make any other associations. Instead, he suddenly thought of something else; he only wanted to express his loyalty in front of his teacher so that he could inherit the hero's legacy capable of cultivating the Fighting Spirit secret technique.
"In the neighboring Shenait City, there are many legends about Lemuel Gulliver. There is a castle there where it is said that Lemuel Gulliver was summoned by Evil Wizards with the intent to destroy the entire continent. The first place Lemuel Gulliver appeared was in Shenait. Teacher, why do you ask about this? Could it be that Lemuel Gulliver has resurrected and wants to bring disaster to Brobdingnag again?"
Bai Yujing felt this was very important information and immediately noted it down. If possible, he must visit Shenait City; perhaps he could find something left behind by Lemuel Gulliver.
However, Pirus's imagination seemed quite rich. Since he had said so, Bai Yujing decided to go along with his thoughts: "That's right, the evil demon Lemuel Gulliver is about to return. He will bring disaster to the entire continent. When he descends upon this land again, all of Brobdingnag will be shrouded in his shadow."
"When that time comes, death, disaster, blood, and fire will ignite the world. Pirus, only you can defeat him and save this world. Pirus, are you willing to take on such a heavy responsibility?" Bai Yujing's tone was powerful and resonant, igniting a spark of determination and fire in Pirus's eyes as he stood up.
Pirus stood at the foot of the bed, raising his small fist and said: "Of course, my teacher! I am willing! No matter what price I have to pay, I will definitely defeat him!"
"Well done, Pirus! You truly are the one I have chosen—the savior of this world. When you save all of Brobdingnag, everyone will thank you for your efforts. Glory and crowns will be bestowed upon you; evil will ultimately retreat, and you shall be crowned as king!"
Bai Yujing's words made Pirus's eyes light up as if he could see his future: clad in armor and wielding a longsword, defeating the evil Demon Lemuel Gulliver and saving the entire world. His teacher, Divine Messenger Angel Bird White, would place a crown upon his head.
Everyone would be shouting his name from below; countless beautiful maidens would gaze at him with admiration. Those who had bullied him before would grovel at his feet, humbly kneeling before him as he walked past without even glancing at them. And thousands of years later, legends about him would still circulate throughout this world.
At this moment, Bai Yujing interrupted Pirus's imagination: "Of course, to become a hero, one must put in sweat and effort. Without ambition and determination, even if opportunities come knocking at one's door, they will still be missed. Pirus, would you be that kind of person?"
"No, of course not! To defeat Lemuel Gulliver, I am willing to give everything. Not just sweat; I would not hesitate to sacrifice my life and blood!" Pirus was completely convinced by Bai Yujing, believing he was the one chosen by the gods, the protagonist of a novel.
Bai Yujing immediately added fuel to the fire that was already burning brightly within Pirus: "Very well, Pirus. Starting tomorrow, you will undergo my special training and inherit the legacy of heroes. Then we will begin searching for clues about Lemuel Gulliver. To defeat Lemuel Gulliver, we must first understand him so that we can be fully prepared when he descends to the mortal realm again!"
"Yes, Teacher!" Pirus stood up straight, like a soldier in training!
