Chapter 1189 - 1192: Legacy (3)

Ruben and Stephen both nodded, agreeing to Arnold's remark.

"So aside from some other conflicts during the meeting, the discussion mainly revolve around how they should treat these returnees. It's not that easy to accept that these returnees, with some of them having such trashy personality, will be the so called 'heroes' of the Green Planet."

Ruben shrugged as he recounted the few things that happened during the meeting.

Such as a sudden fight among the ministers.

And then the curses thrown at each other.

Arnold and Stephen silently gave a thumbs up to Ruben for surviving such a mess and could come out intact.

"If I can, I don't want to experience that hellish meeting again in my life." Ruben sighed. He felt that if he had to attend that mess of a meeting again, he would lose half of his life.

It was truly painful.

"Did they finally come to a decision?" Stephen silently poured another glass of wine for himself. The wine that Ruben took out was really good and he liked it.

Ruben nodded. "They decided to revise the history books."

Pfft!

Wine sprayed out and Arnold quickly stepped away to avoid being sprayed at.

Ruben: "…"

He was glad that his sitting position was not in front of Stephen.

*cough* *cough*

"What did you say? History books? You're saying that those b*stards will enter the history books?" Stephen repeated the question several times, filled with extreme disbelief.

How come that Samuel would enter the history books?

Does it mean that he could read Samuel's deeds from the books from now on?

Just thinking about how his friend would be 'immortalized' in the history books made Stephen so confused.

He was absolutely sure that there would be many discrepancy with the reality, though.

After all, some things were not suitable to be written.

…But it would still portray Samuel the way people see him.

For those who knew him personally, they might find that the words used to describe him might not be so accurate, though.

"Yes." Ruben nodded helplessly. "Not just Samuel but also Riya, Dina, Murin, and even Peter."

"… I can understand the first three, but the last two…" Arnold was stumped.

Knowing what Murin did…

He felt that if he was written into the history books, it might be full of his bad deeds instead of his good deeds.

"While it's true that Murin has a lot of conflicts withe others, but his contribution as a magician from the Magic Association can't be denied. He shared many things regarding beast masters' profession that other returnees didn't know," Ruben explained helplessly.

He was also shocked when he heard the higher ups proposing to keep Murin's name.

The magicians from the Magic Association were originally resisting this idea. After all, they were the one who have been trampled by Murin several times in the past.

How could the magicians from the Magic Association be willing to accept seeing Murin becoming famous and entering the history?

None of them were willing.

But what could they do when everyone were supporting it.

"How about Peter? He's still alive, right?" Stephen asked in confusion.

He didn't mean that Samuel and others have passed away, but in the eyes of many people on the Green Planet, they might not be able to come back.

"Peter's part will be limited temporarily and then a detailed one will be written by the Martial Arts Association to be keep and then released in the future," Ruben replied. "Peter himself didn't mind and he's not exactly the type of person who would read books."

The other two nodded blankly.

It was still unbelievable.

"Hah… to think that someone like Samuel could be written in the history books." Arnold didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he remember this.

Knowing Samuel personally…

They really felt that it was odd.

"Indeed." Stephen also sighed.

"I'll tell Amelia about this latter." Arnold smirked. "I think she'll be happy to share stories about Riya."

Among the returnees from Continent Z, the information about Riya was the most limited one. Because aside from her friends and those who were close to her, Riya didn't really interact with other people.

"Ruben can also tell stories about her. After all, he's her student." Stephen smirked, raising his glass towards Ruben.

Ruben shrugged and then said, "I'll continue to work hard in my role. By the way, Stephen, I'm planning on incorporating runes into magic tools for other magicians to use. Ruby might need your help in the Research Institute later."

"Is there no other magicians?" Stephen arched his eyebrows.

Even if they have bad relationship with the magicians from the Magic Association, it was not like there were no magicians at all in City A Base.

"Not many people are trustworthy enough."

Stephen nodded in understanding at Ruben's explanation.

Arnold looked at Ruben with strange expression. "You're really working hard as rune master too now."

He didn't expect that he would hear about Ruben trying to incorporate runes into magic tools, which would allow many people to use these tools.

Ruben smiled. "I made a promise."

He made a promise with Riya that he would become the best rune master and magician on the Green Planet while she was away.

Even if she couldn't see it, he had seen her notes and wished that he could truly implement it on the Green Planet.

"Let's have a toast… for a better future."

Those people had made history by allowing themselves to be written into the history books, so they couldn't be left behind too much.

At the very least…

They had to make a name for themselves and achieved their own dreams.

"For the continuation of the legacy." Ruben raised his wine glass.

Even if they were no longer here, what they left behind will never be forgotten.

"For… hope." Arnold smiled.

So that if they did return someday in the future, even if they failed to meet because their time is up, they would know that they have done their best to create a better world for the future generation.
