Chapter 341 – [21st Round] Mollanphone 2

“Ah… What a place!”

“Fantasy! I’m finally here!”

“Maybe I’ll meet a real prince!”

“I want to marry an elf…”

The hopeful new heroes got all their information through their mollanphones.

Thanks to my cowardly wife’s quick intervention, they were summoned with a mollanphone 2.

[Welcome, new Heroes.]

[Is this your first time in the world of Fantasy?]

[What is a Mollanphone?]

…

It was equipped with a touch screen, camera, and anti-theft features.

It was also shockproof, waterproof, and highly resistant to all attributes, removing the need to worry about magical interference.

Of course, mollanphones’ main feature wasn’t their durability, but in another aspect.

[What is Fantasy?]

[How to go home?]

[How to make friends.]

[What are Mollan’s Teachings?]

[Encyclopedia of Fantasy Monsters.]

[Latest news.]

[How to view stats correctly.]

[Who is Master Mollan?]

[Each country’s politics and interests.]

[A collection of Fantasy’s myths and legends.]

[Mollan’s Revelations.]

[Demon Lord Parmamon’s Biography.]

…

Through it, they gained access to a collection of information that would be useful for their adventures.

Naturally, it offered information that wasn’t too advanced or too detailed. Rather, it only offered ones that could be obtained with a little effort.

It also had another interesting feature: integrated communication.

?Sieg: First ^^

?Lemon: What’s your Karma rank?

?Luke: I suggest an exchange of strategic information. Send me a pm if interested. Only business, no jokes.

?Reina: Are there any secondary students here? I’ve only seen primary students here so far.

?Aaron: This is the first time I’ve seen something like this in my 1900 year career in Fantasy.

?Pico: Long live Mollan’s Teachings! Believe, and you will find your soulmate at once!

?Lulu: Let me add you as a friend!

?Link: I’m only interested in one thing. Where is Zelda?

…

Their names were automatically registered based on their files to prevent absurd names like ‘Grand King Sieg’. Long sentences and continuous conversations were forbidden to prevent the chat window from overflowing.

However, there were so many heroes that the messages were being buried so quickly an average person wouldn’t have time to read anything!

However, if one were to open a separate chat room with like-minded friends, they’d be able to get rid of this confusion.

“Everything works as it should.”

With admin rights, I checked the current situation through my Mollanphone 2S+.

Who would have thought?

The Demon Lord had been showering the heroes with useful items since the beginning.

My father-in-law used to throw his subordinates and children as fodder to support them, but I didn’t use such barbaric methods.

Information was power!

Any cultured citizen of Earth knew that.

“First of all, you have to find a companion and a source of income.”

“I don’t see lovely Lanuvel anywhere…”

“Did you start in the Holy Empire, too?”

Whether it was their first time here or not, the heroes quickly adapted to the world of Fantasy based on the information they received through their mollanphones.

Starting their adventure in the Holy Empire rather than the Dumpling Kingdom, they immediately shared new information with each other.

?Sieg: Does anyone know where Elf Princess Sylvia is?

?Aaron: She’s at the Elf Empire on the Southern Continent. By the way, there is a rumor that the third Elf King is terminally ill.

?Jenny: Wow! Thank you so much! So Prince Nasus should be on the Southern Continent, too!

?Pico: The Holy Empire considers Mollan’s Teachings as heresy. They call it a pseudo-religion! Be careful.

?James: Worshipping the Giant Empire’s Great Child is better. The giants lavish you with generous gifts afterward.

…

They acted effectively without wandering or stomping around.

If any of them needed information, they asked other heroes, and if they didn’t know either, they asked the locals for help.

Of course, the locals didn’t help them for free just because they were heroes. However, they at least asked for a reasonable price, such as running an errand.

But this, too, could be avoided later on.

Because far advanced heroes had started posting guides.

[Guide: Beware of the Imperial Princess]

[Author: Luke]

[If you stay in the Imperial Fortress, the princess will ask you to find a stolen relic of her dead mother. I warn you. I don’t know what will happen if you refuse. If anyone does, please let me know. Anyway. If you start wandering around collecting information about the relic, a bunch of side quests will fall on you. Ignore them! The relic is hidden in the mouth of the lion statue in the imperial garden. No one stole it! The princess hid it herself and lied.]

As soon as this guide was published, the heroes immediately abandoned their side quests and returned the relic to the imperial princess.

Having spoiled the princess’s plan to use them for her own purposes, they broke free of her sneaky grip, enabling them to set off on their adventure more quickly.

Of course, there were downsides.

“I thought I was special!”

“How many heroes are there anyway?”

“Shouldn’t I be the main hero?”

“This is no fun. There are a lot of people here better than me.”

‘I am special, only I can go back in time, only I can regress, only I have made such progress, only I…’

The characters who basked in their uniqueness were crushed by the reality they faced.

But I didn’t care. No matter how much pampering they got, they would one day graduate from the Fantasy Institution and enter a society where no one would coddle them.

Hence, they needed to learn humility and humbleness.

If one were captivated by the arrogance that they were special, they would be in for a big disappointment.

[Guide: Fast Way to Become Powerful]

[Author: Hero A]

[I have decided to reveal the most useful information to help my juniors become incredibly strong. Master Mollan lives in a run-down village in the northwest of the Holy Empire. Ask him to train you and pray for success. His greatness can be clearly seen in Revelation 4:6. The first disciple touched his resilient body and received enlightenment. He began to act arrogantly as if the whole world was now in his hands, but Master Mollan quickly cooled his ardor. His disciple, surprised by this, realized his immaturity and repented. Don’t rely on skills alone, but open your eyes to true power.]

“… What are you doing, husband?”

“Are you blind, Ssosiel? I am generously sharing the secret of success with my juniors.

“That’s not what I meant. Isn’t it silly to let them know of such things? Through your guide, they might become a threat to your life one day and even try to steal your beautiful first wife.”

“Good point.”

My cowardly wife thought it was dangerous.

But I begged to differ.

I was more than 200 years ahead of my younger self. I thought that advantage was more than enough.

Monopolizing knowledge had many strengths, but it would make me lazy.

And that wasn’t just an assumption.

I spent more time on pelvises now than I did in the 1st round. This was proof that I had become lazy!

“You’re not lazy. I’m just very pretty and tempting.”

“I have to agree! My niece is very pretty!”

“Did you hear that? My aunt always tells the truth.”

“But also very jealous!”

“…”

My cowardly wife said she didn’t like my signature “Hero A,” so she changed it to “Munchkin.”

Wasn’t that a little too childish?

Ssosiel objected, “Much better than Hero A.”

“Why? No one knows who I am.”

“You like to give very strange names and titles. Someone will sooner or later recognize your style.”

“I doubt it…”

?Pico: Are you Kang Han Soo?

I immediately swallowed my words when I saw the comment that popped up after I published my guide.

Who was Pico? How did he manage to recognize me so fast?

“You said you went to high school together on your home planet.”

“Ah! Virgin A.”

“He’s not a virgin anymore. According to his file, he married the Imperial Princess of the Holy Empire and had twelve children with her.”

“Wow!”

“And that’s not all. Although he did it in the primary education course, Hero Pico helped the princess unite the four continents of Fantasy. The Western Continent was the only one he failed to conquer, due to which he was forced to regress.”

“Not bad.”

Once married, he became a completely different person.

Ssosiel continued. “According to the teachers, Hero Pico will be one of the first primary students to challenge you. A detailed analysis of his actions indicates that.”

“Does it?”

In just two days, Pico’s sword once again captured the heart of his ex-wife.

The power-hungry princess was full of thoughts of using him, but she was still not the kind of woman who would let her political tool touch her pelvis.

No. That was also a part of politics.

Princesses incapable of bearing children would quickly be forced to surrender their dream of sitting on the throne, after all.

In general, the adventures of the heroes were divided into two paths depending on their gender due to the information they exchanged through the mollanphones.

Ssosiel confirmed my thoughts.

“You’re right.” Males usually boarded a ship in the port of the Holy Empire and sailed directly to the Northern Continent to get the Ice Princess and the Sword Princess as companions. On the other hand, the females traveled to the Holy Kingdom to get the Saintess and Holy Knight Commander Tomato as their companions before sailing to the Southern Continent for Prince Nasus.

Their adventures were now based on maximum safety and efficiency.

I didn’t expect the itinerary to differ by gender, but I expected it to flow about the same from the beginning.

That was why the Green Cake’s role as their guide was important.

“Greetings, Hero. Our meeting has been destined. May I share with you an interesting story? There’s a nice restaurant nearby with flush toilets.”

He didn’t immediately join the hero as a companion and asked them to defeat the Demon Lord as Lanuvel did.

After observing them and analyzing their personality and behavior from a distance for about five days, he approached them, using all the data he had gathered in dialogue.

It was a business approach, which was fundamentally different from Lanuvel’s method of solving everything by just pretending to be nice.

?Lemon: Have you met the great explorer Green Cake too?

?Luke: As of this day, I’ll stop sharing information. He has a lot of information.

?Reina: A perfect boy! He fits my type so much he’s making my mouth water.

? Lulu: I don’t accept friendship requests anymore. Green Cake is enough for me. I love him!

?Link: Doesn’t this girl look too much like Zelda?

?Aaron: I found the perfect companion after my 1900-year-old career here in Fantasy. Green Cake. She is the truest meaning of perfection.

?Sieg: I will not betray Sylvia, but isn’t she a cheat? She has all the right attributes.

…

Dragons, having no gender, were free to change their appearance.

The only parts of him he couldn’t change were his green hair and eyes.

He could easily adjust to any situation based on the data gathered over five days.

And that wasn’t all.

Thanks to his connections, he gained special treatment from the rulers of all continents and could hold conversations of a higher level than the other Fantasy companions.

Fencing, spirit control, archery, magic, healing, research, cooking, laundry, camping, exploration, diplomacy, trade…

It was hard to find what he couldn’t do.

He was completely different from Lanuvel.

■¼Truth: Hero. You can’t call it an adventure if you use such an all-powerful tool. Don’t you want to go on a journey into an uncharted, exciting world?

Lanuvel was still struggling.

Day by day, her reputation fell as she said, “Please throw away your mollanphone.”

On the first day, she was still called a ‘goddess,’ but she was called a “witch” who hindered the heroes as of yesterday.

?Robin: How do you shut the pesky witch up?

?Lucia: As angry as you are, please refrain from swearing. She pisses me off too, but I try to control myself because stress is bad for my skin^^

?Smith: She really pisses me off. She’s making it hard for me to concentrate.

?Kevin: Oh! I totally agree with you!

?Arin: Green Cake is much better than Lanuvel.

?Pico: People! Witches are ancient gods of pagan beliefs! Mollan’s Teachings are the real truth!

But no matter how hard Lanuvel tried, her efforts ended in failure.

The heroes, possessed by the enchantment of the Mollanphone, fell prey to the Righteous Demon Lord’s Fabrication and Incitement.

And that will not change until their release.

■¼Truth: Those who do not take risks do not deserve to be called heroes! Perish along with this world!

Lanuvel finally lost her temper.

She rejected the heroes and cursed the world.

Like some villain.

“Handsome husband.”

“Mollan~”

Ssosiel, sitting on my lap, turned to me.

“Is it something about Lanuvel?”

“Yes. Lanuvel bypassed the system firewall and escaped.”

“Where to?”

My cowardly wife pointed toward the night sky.

“To my aunt and all the angels’ home: the Festival planet.”
