He thought to himself.
Seemingly noticing An Yi's gaze, Layton turned to him and smiled, "Brother An Yi, I'm thinking, what should we name our next child?"
An Yi: "..."
Instead, think about the goblins!
"If I get pregnant, the baby will be born in ten months, right? But I don't know if I'll be able to conceive. I'll write back in a few days," Layton thought happily.
His mind is still on his wife and children; he hasn't come back to them.
Anyi: "If I got pregnant, it was during the goblin extermination."
Let's call him 'Goblin Slayer'.
Layton: "That won't do!!"
Did every classmate have to call that kid 'Goblin Slayer' back in school?! "san?ˇ☆"∪
An Yi: "Calling him 'God Slayer' is fine too."
Layton: "What the hell?!"
Rumble-
"Da da,"
Looking out the window, it seemed they had arrived at the town gate, and the carriage stopped.
An Yi turned her head to look out the window, and saw that people were already waiting for them under the carriage.
"Yo." Dus, the Hero of the Stick, raised his hand towards An Yi. "I've kept you waiting."
Annie: "Really? The room is ready, right? We're going to rest now."
Duss: "Huh?!"
Chapter 208 Do you want to do it? (4k)
This time, the believers were smarter. They made contact before the Saintess's team even set off, allowing the believers in Svi City to wait for them on the inevitable route.
In such a border region, a grand welcome for Lycorina is not permitted.
Because she came as a warrior, not as a saint of the Holy See.
Of course, the believers could not completely ignore her identity, so they gave her at least a "grand welcome".
That is, to send a fine carriage to pick her up.
This was exactly what Lycorina needed, so she was very satisfied with the believers' behavior.
Then he fell asleep contentedly.
Of course, a large group of believers could not gather at the town gate to welcome them, so only two believers of relatively high status and Dus, who said he would come along, greeted the Saintess's team.
"Why didn't you bring any women this time?" An Yi glanced at Dus's side.
"They've sent them all to seek refuge in the cities inside, without even considering what kind of place this is?" Duss said irritably.
“Dus, have you…changed somewhere?” Layton suddenly asked.
"Changed? Ah, yes, changed. He doesn't play with women anymore, he doesn't drink anymore, and he thinks about the demon race every day."
"When I came to my senses, all I could think about were the demons and how to level up my three teammates. Are you satisfied now?" Duss scoffed.
Perhaps it was through experiencing life and death, and through reflection, that his thoughts underwent a transformation.
"By the way, what about that girl? The one with the thorns?" Duss suddenly asked. (Wu)
"She's here... oh, she's gone." Annie glanced at the spot where Miluko had been sitting; the car window was open, and she was no longer there. (Six)
When did you run away?
Duss: "Dead?"
Layton laughed loudly: "Hahaha—no, no! What's up, is there something you need from Xiaomilu?"
"I just asked, just to find out if she's still alive." Duss shrugged. "As long as she's alive, that's fine."
But if he died, he died. It's no big deal.
He recalled that the initial trigger for his change of heart was Miluko's serious injury.
He reviewed the battle against the goblin centurion in his mind again and again, and he realized that he could have done better in many ways, but instead he did a lot of stupid things.
For example, if he had attacked the Goblin Centurion's vitals earlier and killed him, he could have avoided his own serious injury later.
Miluko's serious injury could also have been avoided.
But he did something stupid that almost caused the death of a fifteen-year-old child.
He reflected on it for a long time.
He also vowed in his heart that he would never again let young people younger than him suffer because of him.
If anyone's going to die, it'll be me first!
We can't let those young people die in front of us!
The carriage continued on its way, and Duss followed below, chatting idly about recent events.
"Kotan is dead, remember? He was the Steel Hero, the one who always bragged about how he and the Killing Hero were together," Duss said.
An Yi nodded: "I remember, he was a good hero. I heard that he single-handedly withstood the attack of two goblin centurions to cover the rear."
Layton: "I've heard of that too!"
Ah, this is war…! Let's go pay our respects to him later!
“Swelling∵：、→∨♀““√Tch, that was a long time ago! Ever since that day when the hero who killed him saved him, that kid hasn’t done a single decent thing for a single day!”
Having tasted the sweetness of being praised, he spends his days giving lectures and publishing books, exaggerating the significance of a few minutes' work. Even the hero himself has forgotten about it, but he considers himself a hero.
Can you believe it? For almost two months after he was rescued, his level remained the same as before!
They made a fortune, though.
Duss smiled dismissively.
"It's a pity that now I'm living to make money but not to spend it!"
"Such a thing exists?!" Layton exclaimed in surprise.
An Yi nodded thoughtfully, "After all, it's real profit, so it's normal to get caught up in it."
[Lack of sexual desire] can only satisfy sexual needs, but will not interfere with the hero's desire to make money.
Because this is itself a form of incentive mechanism.
Becoming a hero allows you to earn money using the power of heroes, and also to gain a higher status. The normal process is that the stronger you are, the more sought after you will be, and the more wealth you will gain.
It's not so much that the Steel Hero went astray, but rather that he took a wrong turn.
He skipped the step of strengthening his own power and instead gained status and wealth by borrowing the coattails of others.
The result is obvious.
With the overall strength of the heroes increasing, defeating the Goblin Centurion is no longer a rare occurrence.
It's normal for a paper tiger without real substance to be crushed by the tides of history.
"By the way, have you seen the Hero of Slaughter?" Duss asked.
“No.” Annie shook her head.
"That woman was unlike any other woman I'd ever met before. Just seeing her standing there terrified me. √￠.±"
"To be honest, I think she killed the Goblin Centurion in the blink of an eye, and it has nothing to do with that good-for-nothing Kotan," Duss said.
An Yi: "..."
Yes, you guessed right.
The system at the time determined that the Steel Hero had not contributed anything to the fight against the Goblin Centurion; he was just taking the beating.
Whether he takes the beating or not, the goblin centurion will be killed.
Delaying time can be considered a contribution, but...
He didn't really intend to stall for time, and the time he stalled for had no necessary connection to the appearance of the "Hero of Slaughter".
Therefore, he didn't even get any experience points after the campaign.
He definitely wouldn't tell anyone about this. Even heroes can't see each other's levels, so he wouldn't expose the fact that he hadn't made any contributions.
Now, as he wished, the secret has been taken to the grave.
Even if he is eventually suspected by the outside world, as long as he doesn't admit it and the hero who killed him forgets it, the truth will never be known.
As for why Elsa said she "forgot," actually...
She simply didn't understand the difference between a Big Goblin and a Goblin Centurion.
Who did you fight alongside?
I have absolutely no recollection of it!
However, other heroes believe that the reason the "Hero of Slaughter" couldn't remember is because he had killed too many demons!
She's incredibly good at killing!
……
"Oh!"
A white figure burst through the training ground gate and stopped abruptly beside Irene.
The nimble hero, Felia, was slightly out of breath and her face was flushed: "Master, I've found out about my senior brother."
My senior brother has already rushed to Swei City to provide support and assist in the investigation of the goblins.
"Huh?!" Irene stood up from her chair. "It seems the situation is more serious here with level seven demons, right?!"
She had been hoping that after a week, she would finally be able to see her beloved disciple, but he had no intention of returning to the fortress at all!
Irene desperately wanted to fly to An Yi and ask him why, but according to their agreement, she couldn't leave the fortress easily.
Unless An Yi is dying and asks her for help, guarding the fortress is more important than anything else.
