No! Turn around!
"I will protect this city. Whether it's the thousand brave warriors, other brave warriors, or ordinary people, I will ensure their safety."
Go back to where you belong. This is where everyone works, so stop causing trouble here.
Or do you want me to see you off?
A cold voice came from behind Maiti, startling him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
But then, he felt a wave of relief wash over him, and the chill vanished without a trace.
Mati suddenly turned around to look.
Nobody's here.
"cough."
At this moment, a believer quickly stepped forward.
"Sir, you heard it too, right? The Hero of Slaughter will protect us, so please don't worry about the Thousand Heroes," the believer said.
"Was that person called Search:◇.4【‖樲；*★The Hero of Listening to Slaughter here just now?" Maggie asked loudly.
He wasn't sure.
He only heard the other person's voice and didn't dare to turn around.
To be honest, he wondered if he was hallucinating.
"Yes, the Hero of Slaughter was right behind you just now, and we heard what she said to you," the believer replied.
Meatie stared at the believer for a long time.
The believer was not in a hurry; he watched him quietly and waited for his response.
Finally, Maggie slumped his shoulders, looking somewhat dejected, and shook his head with a sigh.
"All right……
I... want to see my sister one more time.
His tone was not very firm, and he might not even be sure if he wanted to see Ruby again.
But at least he wanted to talk to his sister a little longer.
Even if there's no particular reason, after spending so much time here to see my sister, shouldn't we at least chat a bit more?
The believer nodded: "Okay, I'll contact her."
Please come to the meeting room in the alliance this time. We will provide tea and snacks, as well as a quiet environment where you will not be disturbed.
"Thank you, please." Mati nodded politely.
In fact, when he realized he couldn't pull Ruby away, he already knew he couldn't forcibly take her away.
She is beautiful, strong, and dares to walk in the sunlight; she is no longer the weak, pitiful, and timid sister she once knew.
I have to admit, she has changed.
Dramatic change.
She no longer needs to be taken care of by herself.
They don't even need to protect themselves.
Because there are stronger people who can protect her.
However, his desire to get Ruby out of Danger Zone 7 remains unchanged.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that this is how it should be.
Ruby didn't give Mickey, who had been waiting in the meeting room for a long time, the answer she wanted. She sent someone from the Hero Alliance to give him a reply.
not see.
However, another "person" came to see him.
The other person walked in from outside the door, and Mai Ti stood up from the chair with mixed feelings: "Sister..."
No, your eyes…
Unlike the Ruby we just met, the "Ruby" standing at the door of the meeting room has a "0" in her left pupil and a "1" in her right pupil.
"Hello, I am Number One."
The other person spoke stiffly, one word at a time.
Number One walked toward Mickey, his movements not at all like a puppet, but like a real human.
Standing in front of Maggie, she took a piece of paper out of the pocket of her warrior's outfit and handed it to Maggie.
Maitti took it with a puzzled look.
If you feel lonely without me, then bring her home as a substitute.
“Who wants it?”
Mati crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground.
……
"Oh? Why are you back?" Ruby opened the door and looked at the "Number One" doll that looked exactly like her outside, and asked in confusion.
Number One blinked, then shook his head, unsure how to answer Ruby's question.
"Did he say anything to you?" Ruby asked again.
Number One blinked, then fell into thought again, before speaking in a completely emotionless voice—
"Who wants it?"
She imitated the action of Maggie throwing the crumpled paper on the ground.
Then he took out the crumpled paper he had picked up and put back in his pocket and gave it back to Ruby.
Ruby smiled and said, "Throw this away."
Number One did not answer, but instead went into the room, then walked to the third trash can, and swirled his palm to pour the crumpled paper from his palm onto it.
Having received no further instructions, she resumed her usual standing posture and stood quietly in the room.
Unlike the temporary "Zero", this "Number One" underwent a long period of production and adjustments, and is now able to do a lot of things like a normal person.
She can walk normally like a normal person, and she has also been fitted with a throat and a lung-like structure, which allows her to speak.
However, the speaking function is not actually for her to respond verbally, but rather to facilitate her relaying messages.
Moreover, the messages she relays are just simple ones; anything too difficult would take her a long time to say.
After all, she has to adjust her breath and vocal cords to say every word, which is a mechanical process, unlike human muscles which can be controlled instinctively.
It seems to be able to think, but in reality, it only thinks about the content of the instructions, and all its thinking is for the purpose of executing the current instructions.
For example, if you tell her where to go, who to talk to, and who to find, she can think about it and then start to act.
However, if you give her a vague instruction like "act according to your own will," she cannot follow it.
Ruby also discovered that the tasks could actually be written directly into the doll's control panel.
"Number One, begin executing Task List 1," Ruby said.
Instead of blinking to think as usual, Number One immediately took action.
【任务清单1：1.打扫卫生，2.扔垃中＾'轉羣』◇：7√.4＋↓1¨＆69］0×78＊|0圾，3.去拿今天的饭菜，4.在主人用餐结束后，将餐具拿回食堂。】
Ruby... is now living a life where all she does besides being a doll is eat and sleep!
No need to take a bath, we need to hurry up and make number two!
The first one was still a simple experimental work, mainly to test the puppet's ability to understand instructions.
The second one is a "fighter jet"!
With combat as its primary function, it is equipped with weapons, giving it the strength and ability to defeat low-level demons!
Then send them to hunt down goblins!
……
It's not just that small area of the world that's fighting against the demons; almost the entire border region of human territory is being pushed towards them.
Nearly half a year has passed since the first hero in human history, the Holy Hero, appeared.
During this period, in addition to the Saintess Squad and the Silver Moon Fortress Squad, reports of successful defeats of Level 6 demons came from various places.
It's not just goblins, but also level six demons, undead, elemental creatures, and orcs.
Half-orc is a new term to distinguish them from orcs. Orcs are those that look like humans but have only animal ears and tails, while the demons, who are not human in any way except for their body shape, are called half-orcs.
Although these border regions are minor troubles for the entire demon race.
But for the demons in the border regions, humanity has already launched a full-scale war against them.
The Saintess Squad ultimately consists of only four people, and they can only operate within a small area in a given region.
However, the heroes are not limited to the eight capable individuals from the Saintess Squad and the Silver Moon Squad.
In nearly half a year, thanks to the Hero Alliance's rapid familiarization with the mechanics of the game, heroes from all sides have begun to emerge.
They formed groups and armies to fight against the demons, while also accumulating prestige and fame.
In another area near the Saintess Squad's area of operation, there is a group of heroes called the Dragon Lance.
Their current achievements include successfully defeating four Goblin Champions, as well as several Goblin Tribe Chiefs and Centurions.
They are not fighting the same goblin empire as the Saintess Squad, and it may be a bit of a rivalry. They are now actively penetrating deeper into the goblin empire in the region.
In a building in the town closest to the forest, Leif Conway, the leader of the Dragonlance Extermination Group and the Lance Warrior, received the weekly report from the Hero Alliance.
"The Saintess Squad killed another Goblin King's Servant?"
The muscular man with long hair tied back and a stubble beard looked at the weekly newspaper in front of him, a fighting spirit rising in his heart.
"So, the Saintess Squad has already killed two Goblin Kings. It seems we'll have a hard time catching up with them," another young hero said with a wry smile.
"Isn't that because the goblin king is hiding and won't come out?!" Leif said angrily. "If they dared to come out, we would have killed them long ago!"
Wait... it seems there's more than just good news.
