Chapter 55. My Hero!


    Char had heard a simr theory from someone else.


    Strictly speaking, the man was not a human being. He was master craftsman, Crickto, the manager Siege City, and the only divine servant of the Eighth Holy Spirit His status was simr to that of Fredrick in the Church of Judgement.


    A tinum disc was stored in the secret room in the center of Siege City. This super-capacity portable hard disk-like item contained a copy of all the knowledge of the civilizations several eras before the fall of Siege City. In terms of function, it was equivalent to a skill library for all professions. It was a true master machine that surpassed all professions.


    Char had been busy with coaxing girls and pushing the plot, so he did not pay much attention to his ss.


    He knew that no grandmaster could be more direct than the tinum disc.


    He did notck experience or guidance, but hecked a convenient skill database to build aplete system in his mind, so he included Siege City in his n at the beginning. Instead of running around looking for a mentor to give him skills and experience, it was better for him to pick one from a library.


    Living on a wastnd like Siege City, where time had almost stopped, Crickto had slowly integrated the knowledge of several eras. He had once expressed to Char the idea of "The One". Unfortunately, the people were ignorant and could not reach that height.


    At that time, Char had thought that it was because the other party despised flesh and blood creatures, and that it was nonsense to have such a mysterious setting.


    However...


    Ri...


    He was starting to believe it.


    Char looked at the girl in admiration, but thetter was still writing on the paper, probably having a new idea.


    "Let''s set off to save your friend." He said and gave the Dark Elf a look. The Dark Elf rolled her eyes helplessly and then put on her cloak, wrapping herself tightly.


    "Just be patient a little longer." Char smiled. Even though this was a human town, the Dark Elf''s striking skin color still brought about a lot of helplessness. After all, they all belonged to the United Holy Kingdom.


    "Eh? Is Miss Evelyn going too?" Ri was stunned at first, then she wrung her fingers uneasily. "Char, I didn''t mean to trouble you, and I didn''t mean to ask for help because I really didn''t have anyone else to ask for help. What am I saying?"


    "I understand." Charughed. "You''re trying to say that you didn''t invite me to be your guard because I''m just a guard. The reason is that there''s no one else you can invite. This is an objective choice, right? "


    "Hmm! It''s... It''s like this, I''m too much trouble for you, I''m just..."


    Char ced a finger on the girl''s lips.


    He bowed slightly, his movements were elegant, and his smile was as warm and bright as the morning sun.


    "Miss Ri, it''s not a problem to solve a beautiful girl''s problem. It''s an honor."


    The warmth from his fingertips traveled from her lips to the tip of her heart. The girl''s pupils dted in an instant, and her heart beat faster.


    Was he flirting with Ri?


    Howling Rock Canyon.


    It had only been a week since theyst met, but Apple Pie looked a lot wilder than before.


    The young girl was wearing a pair of hot pants made of animal skin, and her youthful body was bound in a leather armor that was obviously one size smaller. She crossed the rugged rocks as nimbly as a monkey.


    She was not holding a dagger, but a short wand.


    It was the [Young Florin Branch] that she had obtained in the Rotten Fforest.


    Suddenly, a cry sounded above her head. A huge creature spread its wings and swooped down from the sky. Although the sound waves could not produce any distracting magic effects, the momentum of the dive was shocking.


    As a level 35 Grey-headed Vulture, even if it was not a magical creature, it still had a temperament that would make ordinary Militia tremble in fear. However, this did not seem to work on the Apple Pie. Not only did the roar not scare her out of her wits, but her cheeks also became even redder.


    She was even more excited!


    The youngdy leaped through the forest. The rugged surface of the ground did not allow her to slow down even a little bit. Every jump andnding was apanied by the opening and closing of her mouth. With every shortmand, the short wand in her right hand would emit a faint blue gas, which turned into a weak airflow that rushed behind her, allowing her to jump further this time.


    In the long and narrow mountain stream, there was a narrow gap that could only allow one person to pass through. A few pairs of eyes that were full of reverence and nervousness could be seen from inside, like chicks crying for food.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    The distance between the girl and the finish line continued to shorten, but the distance between the monster and the ground was also rapidly closing. The slender figure was reflected in its brown eyes as it got closer and closer!


    "Be careful!"


    A cry of surprise came from the crack in the stone. Apple Pie suddenly rolled to the left as if it had eyes on the back of its head. The air waves and sharp ws of the vulture plowed two deep ravines on the ground, and its curved beak also pecked and broke a limestone that was half the height of a man. However, the female thief sessfully dodged the attack.


    In the smoke, the girl coughed a few times, and her HP dropped by more than half.


    "So much sand. It looks like I''m going to die. Cough, cough, cough. I really shouldn''t have been so stubborn."


    Apple Pie licked the blood at the corner of her mouth. The saltiness of the blood made her wonder if this was a game. This was the first time she had felt so hopeless since thest time she was sent back to the grave by the Soul Sucking Monsters.


    No, she did not seem to be so desperatest time. Unfortunately, the NPCs and guards hiding in the area were all weaklings. Otherwise, they would have had a chance if everyone attacked together!


    What a pity...


    It would be great if her hero was here. The young girl suddenly thought of Char.


    The Grey-headed Vulture pped its wings to disperse the smoke and dust, and its sharp eyes stared at the girl.


    As a predator with intelligence no less than a human, it was full of respect for the female thief in front of it after its determined strike missed.


    The vulture screeched and threw itself forward. Apple Pie no longer had any intention of dodging. Instead, it took out a small crossbow and held it in her left hand.


    "I''ll make sure you''re hurt too!"


    "Whoosh"


    Bang! Bang!


    The moment the arrows were shot, Apple Pie tilted her body and felt as if she had been hit by a high-speed train. She could even hear the sound of her bones breaking and the pain spread.


    ''So this is what it feels like to be in a car ident.''


    As she thought about this, she watched his HP drop to the single digits.


    [HP is too low. Warning!]


    [HP is too low. Warning!]


    "What''s the use of just a warning! Damn it! Why is my quest so difficult?"


    Suddenly, she heard a sound.


    It seemed to be the sound of the wind.


    Then, her body suddenly became light, as if she had turned into a feather, and her falling speed slowed down to an incredible speed. Then, she fell into an embrace. It was not warm, but it was very broad, giving her a strong sense of security.


    It was so familiar.


    Apple Pie forced her eyes open, wanting to see who it was, but her mouth was suddenly stuffed with something.


    It felt terrible. She felt like she was being rape.


    A sweet, warm current poured out from the bottle, and her HP stopped dropping, starting to slowly recover.


    The young girl opened her eyes, and a young man''s face came into view.


    Her nose scrunched up and she actually cried.


    "Waaa! My hero!"
