Chapter 1468 The Secret of This World (Rolling and Holding Claws)

Demi-humans are not good at fighting.

At first, Fangzheng didn't quite understand the meaning of the sunglasses merchant's words, but when the facts were in front of his eyes, he quickly understood.

That's not a problem at the level of physical fitness, but an inner... Strictly speaking, it's a problem at the spiritual level.

Although the two little girls were very brave at the beginning, just pulling out the sword in their hands made them tremble with fright, even if they were beaten, they did not dare to fight back. I don't know whether this is the long-standing nature of demihumans, or the sequelae of being a slave.

In normal terms, Fang Zheng asked them to retreat. But before leaving, he got another piece of information from the bald store manager...

"I know you don't want to fight, but you have also heard from the store manager that when the wave comes, the brave man and his companions will be teleported to the place where the wave happened. Even so, there is no guarantee that we will be teleported together , if we are together, then of course I can protect you. But if we are separated and teleported to different locations, then it is up to you!"

Fang Zheng gripped the shield ax tightly and roared loudly.

"Now, you have only two ways to go, one is to fight with the weapons in your hands, and the other is to leave me and ungroup with me, so that when the wave happens, you will not be teleported to the battlefield !"

Although according to the system settings, it should be possible to remove the team manually, but Fangzheng tried it, but found that neither of these two little girls could cancel the team.

How should I put it, it's like the NPC that must be added when passing a story level in an RPG game, and there is no way to change it.

There is always a strong sense of malice.

"Well………"

Hearing Fangzheng's speech, the two little girls looked at each other, then nodded with determination, and then Raphtalia shouted loudly.

"I, I want to fight!"

"Me too, I want to follow the shield hero!"

Shouting, the two little girls clenched their daggers tightly and stabbed at the balloon-like monster in front of them. Seeing this scene, Fangzheng nodded, and then he immediately let go of Longwei who was restraining the Balloon Monster.

"Squeak!!"

The balloon monster, which had lost the oppression of Longwei, also screamed at the moment, and then rushed towards the two of them.

Although a little rough, the two still tried their best to kill the balloon monster in front of them, and then gained experience points to upgrade smoothly.

By the way, the people in this world seem to be different from the people in the general game world, just like in the world of SAO, in order to make it closer to reality, so NPCs don’t know about attributes and levels, only players can be seen. Because it will be more "realistic".

But in this world, even ordinary people seem to be able to understand game words such as "level", "teleportation" and "attribute".

Maybe people born in similar game worlds will be like this. After all, levels and the like are commonplace things for them. If they know it from birth, then it will naturally be regarded as a normal thing.

Only people who traveled from other worlds would be surprised by this.

Although strictly speaking, the fight between the two children was indeed a bit cruel, but Fang Zheng, who had traveled through various worlds, did not soften his heart because of this. After all, in the end, everyone can protect only themselves. If they can't even protect themselves, they can't protect others. All Fangzheng can do is to help them grow and gain strength, but if they don't brace themselves to face the reality and just hide behind blindly, it won't work.

Even Qiong and Yoshino have begun to work hard to learn how to communicate with others.

The first day of exercise only took half a day. After all, he was still a child. After reaching the third level, he was too tired to move.

"Okay, let's stop here today."

Seeing that the sky had darkened, Fangzheng also clapped his hands, then he stretched out his hand and touched it in the air. Soon, a halo of light appeared in front of Fangzheng.

"let's go."

"Ah, yes..."

Although they didn't know what it was, the two little guys obediently followed Fangzheng into the halo.

Immediately afterwards, their eyes widened in surprise.

On the other side of the halo, there is a rather warm and spacious space, with flames burning in the fireplace next to it, the sofa and rocking chair next to it also look very comfortable, and there are various kinds of bookshelves on the bookshelf not far away. There are a variety of books and a series of game consoles, and there is an LCD TV hanging on the wall.

That's right, this is exactly the mansion of the mage!

Of course, the ordinary mage's mansion is to reproduce the scene in the mage's memory. For ordinary mages, they will only manifest places like taverns, but for Fangzheng, there are many that can be reproduced.

Of course, what Fangzheng likes most is leaning on the rocking chair by the fireplace, flipping through a book while thinking, feeling the warmth under the dim light of the fire, listening to the sound of crackling firewood always makes people feel peaceful .

"Owner."

Soon, a magic servant came out and saluted Fang Zheng respectfully.

"Ready to eat."

"Okay, it's ready."

The dinner was naturally quite rich, and the two little girls ate very happily. Not only that, they also ate a lot of food, so that Fang Zheng was a little worried that the two little girls would spoil their stomachs... ...But fortunately, after scanning with the terminal, it was found that there was nothing abnormal about the bodies of the two of them, Fangzheng was also relieved.

As for the fact that the two little girls each ate food for two adults... It can only be attributed to the strong appetite of the demihumans themselves.

After dinner, the two little girls took a bath, and then went to the guest room to sleep, while Fang Zheng sat on the rocking chair by the fireplace, staring at the burning fire, and began to think.

about the world.

About this task.

The cry for help that came from the ear before was undoubtedly Raphtalia's. After all, the voices were exactly the same, and after rescuing Raphtalia and Lyfana, the voice disappeared.

However, the task is not complete.

At present, the option of returning to the main world in the Dimensional Code is greyed out, which means that what I think in this world has not been completed. Although the "assistance mission" is activated, there is no specific mission information, only one line of name.

So I was cheated by this turtle again.

Of course, the aid task itself is also a reminder, and there is only one task that I was summoned in this world, and that is to be the hero of the shield, stop the tide and save the world.

But Fangzheng is not the three middle school boys who complacently said "Okay, leave it to me" after hearing the other party's flattery.

The first thing he wants to investigate is the specific situation in this world.

After traveling through so many worlds, Fangzheng has understood that each world has different characteristics and the reasons for having these different characteristics.

For example, the game world of SAO, because it is a game world, so the existence of skills, levels, and experience points are all normal. In the main world, his dimensional code system comes from the order engraving of the order goddess family, and it will be transformed into a similar system because of his aptitude.

So, what about this world?

People in this world are used to levels, experience points, attributes, etc., but in fact, according to the bald boss, this world has something called the hourglass of Long Ke Zhi, which can calculate the timing of the arrival of waves.

And when the tide comes, the brave man and his companions will be teleported to the place where the tide happened.

Of course, if this is just a game setting, there is no problem at all.

After all, it's a game, even if it's set so that only having a baby can save the world, it's normal.

But this is a real world, then the problem arises.

It can be seen from the shield's system code that all of this is man-made.

The so-called four holy artifacts, the so-called level, attributes, and experience points, the hourglass that can predict the arrival of the wave, and when the wave arrives, it will be sent to the point of occurrence.

All these can be seen to be man-made traces.

Then the problem comes.

According to legend, the Four Saints will save the world.

But the system used by the Four Saints is obviously not made by themselves.

So, what about the guy who made the Four Saints system?

There is also the wave, although people in this country regard it as a disaster, but if you look at it from the perspective of a game, isn't this actually equal to a large-scale battlefield or a warcraft invasion?

Then again, is the wave really a disaster?

The original system of the Four Saints and Heroes was supposed to resist the tide, but in this case, why didn't the people who made the system just eliminate the tide, but still make such a system?

Or just like virus intrusion, it can only be eliminated by anti-virus software, and the Four Saints system is anti-virus software and firewall?

Is it because it cannot be completely eliminated? Just like chaos?

In short, let's investigate first. If it goes well, maybe it can be used as a rehearsal for resisting chaos.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Just as Fangzheng was thinking about countermeasures, suddenly, there was a scream, which startled him a lot. Fang Zheng hurriedly stood up and walked towards the place where the voice came from.

Pushing open the door of the guest room, Raphtalia was sitting on the bed, waving her hands desperately.

"Dad, Mom!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

"Woo... woo woo..."

Although Lyfana on the other side didn't speak, she also curled up in pain, trembling uncontrollably.

Traumatized?

This kind of situation is not uncommon for Fang Zheng. The cursed children of the dark world also had similar reactions when they were first rescued by Fang Zheng. Although they have started a new life, the nightmare of the past is still lingering in their hearts deep. At that time, Fangzheng also spent a lot of effort to appease these children.

Thinking of this, Fangzheng stretched out his hand and stroked the heads of the two of them lightly. Soon, a holy light emerged from his hand.

Under the envelope of the holy light, Raphtalia, who was screaming frantically, and Rifana, who was moaning in pain, gradually calmed down. Gradually, they fell into a deep sleep again.

This time, I hope they can have a good dream.

When Fangzheng woke up, it was already the next morning. It's just that on both sides of his body, Raphtalia and Lyfana, who were lying on the bed, were still asleep.

"Well………"

After a while, Raphtalia trembled, and then slowly opened her eyes.

"Yo, good morning."

"Ugh?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's greeting, Raphtalia couldn't help being taken aback, but after seeing the scene in front of her clearly, she immediately showed a surprised expression.

No wonder, the scene in front of me was quite funny, there were two beds in the guest room, Raphtalia and Lyfana slept on one each, and Fang Zheng sat on the chair in the middle. It's just that his two arms were hugged tightly by two people, so he presented such a funny scene.

"Alas? Alas?!"

"Okay, it seems to be all right, then wait here..."

"Huh..."

While talking, Lifana also woke up, she yawned, then opened her eyes, and then...

"Oh? Master Brave? I, I..."

"Okay, let's get up and pack up and prepare to eat."

Fangzheng stood up and moved his slightly stiff arms.

"Next, we have to continue leveling."

After having breakfast, the two followed Fang Zheng out of the mage's mansion, continued to walk along the forest, and killed all the monsters they encountered in front of them. When encountering high-level ones, Fang Zheng cut them off with a shield ax to increase experience, and asked Raphtalia and Rifana to practice on low-level ones.

Perhaps because of their full stomachs, the two little guys were also working hard. In this way, after passing through the forest, I came to a nearby place called Root Village.

There, Fangzheng was treated the same as other places. Most people treated him with disgust and indifference, and a few people who spoke did not show any emotion, as if expecting Fangzheng to leave early.

"These people are really too much, Lord Brave."

Leaving the village, Rifana finally couldn't help complaining.

"Master Brave, do you really want to fight for these people?"

"It depends."

In contrast, Fangzheng was very calm.

"You know what? Lyfana, I'm not a good person. In fact, these people's reactions to me are expected and not surprising."

"However, Mr. Brave, you were clearly wronged..."

During dinner yesterday, Fangzheng also told Raphtalia and Lyfana what happened after he was summoned to this world. Of course, Fangzheng said it as a joke, but it was obvious that both of them were quite angry.

"So I'm going to give them a chance."

"Chance?"

Hearing this, Raphtalia looked at Fangzheng curiously.

"what chance?"

"Listen up, Raphtalia, Rifana."

Having said this, Fangzheng stopped and looked at them.

"As for me, it is true that I am fighting to protect mankind and the world, but it also depends on the occasion and the situation. Take those people just now, their attitude towards me is because of the order given by that idiot king, so it is not difficult to understand. After all, you can’t just trust people without being in touch with them. Just like you, if a criminal communicates with you, you will definitely avoid it, because you are not sure whether the other person is really a bad person , is still wronged, isn’t it?”

"This……………"

"But…………"

"So in this case, I will give them a chance, but only this time."

"once?"

"That's right, I don't care what kind of attitude I have towards the people I met for the first time. But if they still have the same attitude after I fight to protect them, then it's another matter. If you sneer at it and don't care about it, I will sit and watch him die, because he obviously doesn't care about my help and protection, so I don't need to protect him. And if those guys who are protected by me still speak ill and even become hostile to me... "

"What will happen?"

"I'll kill them all."

"Ugh?"

Hearing this unexpected answer, Raphtalia and Lyfana were both stunned.

"As I said, I will only protect the people I want to protect, and I will not protect those wolf-eyed wolves. Those who have received my favor, not only do not thank them, but even try to repay their favor, I will kill them directly. There is no point in letting this kind of people live in the tide, it is better for me to do it myself and kill one by one."

"Yes, but..."

"There is a saying that treats the enemy like the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves, and is as cold as the severe winter. If the dust is not swept away, it will not run away by itself."

Having said this, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.

"I love people who love me, I hate people who hate me, you see, it's that simple."
