Annie: "Just a little."
Noel: "What new dish?! I want to know!"
An Yi: "Mash the meat into minced meat, then shape it into a ball..."
……
With Lycorina and Layton offering their advice separately, many heroes began to rest.
The cold, impersonal text in the chat group lacked emotional impact, but that was exactly what Lycorina and Layton excelled at.
Walking down the corridor, Lycorina suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
The female warrior with short black hair and wearing a black tight-fitting combat suit was still wielding an axe in the open space where she usually gathered firewood.
As if imagining enemies attacking from different directions, he swung his seven-handed axe again and again.
The other person noticed Lycorina's presence, stopped what they were doing, and bowed slightly to her: "Your Highness, aren't you going to rest?"
“I’ve rested all day,” Lycorina chuckled. “What about you? It’s not good to exhaust yourself before the battle.”
Even An Yi wouldn't practice her swordsmanship before a battle.
"The Sword Hero?"
Perhaps it's because you'll be facing different enemies, and practicing swordsmanship in advance doesn't mean you know what methods the enemy will use.
I only need to face goblins, so I don't want my body to forget the feeling of killing goblins.
"Besides, the little bit of energy I've expended can be easily recovered by eating some food," Eddie said solemnly.
"Did the goblins hurt you?" Lycorina asked.
“They killed my mother and sister ten years ago,” Eddie said calmly.
She has answered similar questions countless times.
There's nothing to be sad about.
“I’m sorry… what about your father?” Lycorina asked.
“He left. My mother had given birth to two daughters in a row, and he was already resentful. It just so happened that my mother and sister were killed, so he abandoned me and left,” Eddie said.
Lycorina scratched her head: "..."
I should have known better and wouldn’t have asked!
“It’s okay, there’s nothing to be sad about.” Eddie said nonchalantly, as if he had guessed Lycorina’s thoughts. “It all happened ten years ago.”
Even if you complain a lot, you'll get tired of complaining after ten years.
Now I have my own life and my own career.
However, seeing other happy families still evokes a certain amount of envy.
“I’ve never met my parents, so I can’t really imagine it…” Lycorina smiled wryly.
Upon hearing this, Eddie paused for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle.
"If you start a family, Your Highness would understand, wouldn't you?" she said.
"Huh? You're already married?" Lycorina asked in surprise.
"No, the goblin extermination isn't over yet, so we don't have any plans in that area for the time being."
"But...to be honest, Your Highness, for a period of time after becoming a hero, I also shut down [Lustlessness]," Eddie said.
"Turn off 'Lack of Sexual Desire'?"
"Yes, because I was thinking that every hero is so strong, and they all have a strong desire to defeat the demons."
"So, who knows, I might meet a guy I like while I'm there," Eddie admitted.
"So...did you run into them?" Lycorina asked, very interested!
Eddie shook his head: "No."
Lycorina: "It's been three months already!"
"Yes, because I gained the abilities of a hero, there are more goblins I can hunt down."
So every day I think about how to defeat goblins, and I go to various places to defeat goblins every day.
Let alone men, they didn't even have time to stop and admire the scenery.
Or is observing the environment also a form of sightseeing? Eddie stroked his chin, beginning to wonder how sightseeing is defined.
In fact, for a long time, she wanted to rebuild her family, find a man she loved who loved her, and have one child, or even two or three.
Because she doesn't have a home of her own.
Her mother and sister were both dead, and her father abandoned her.
She is all alone in this world.
Life isn't just about fighting goblins; it also involves the mundane realities of daily life and encountering other people.
Whenever she sees other people's happy families, she can't help but feel a sense of longing.
Having lived in the Witcher Guild since childhood, I was never bullied.
Although she has encountered people who wanted to bully her, they all hesitated when they saw the axe she always carried with her.
I heard that this little girl often chops firewood in the woodshed, so she must have a lot of strength.
After a few years, she began to hunt goblins, and no one dared to think of bullying her anymore.
However, perhaps inheriting her mother's beauty, Eddie grew up to be even more beautiful, and people began to confess their feelings to her.
Naturally, due to her extreme lack of love, she accepted the confessions of one or two men.
but……
After spending some time together, the man faced a dilemma.
Because this woman spends 24 hours a day thinking about how to exterminate goblins, either at the Witcher Guild or in the forest.
Forget about being intimate, I rarely even have the chance to talk to her more or less to build a good relationship.
If it were a fellow witcher, that would be fine; at least he could fight goblins with her. But…
Who the hell starts attacking goblins all the time?!
It's already a good thing that goblins don't cause trouble or kill people in villages and towns, but this woman is actively looking for trouble with goblins!
Everyone knows goblins are cunning creatures, why provoke them?! "∥five≯six"≮※※
As a result, even the men who were initially attracted to her beauty gradually lost interest in her.
If you want to get this woman into bed, you might have to spend your whole life fighting goblins with her.
Rather, she was more interested in hunting goblins than men?
"Focusing on defeating the demons isn't so bad, is it?" Lycorina chuckled.
Eddie nodded: "Yes, so after listening to what the Sword Hero said, I turned on [Desirelessness] again."
Chapter 221 Turning Point 1 (Part 2) (4k)
"Anyi? What did Anyi say to you?" Lycorina asked curiously.
He said... to drive all goblins out of this world.
"In other words, kill all the goblins," Eddie replied.
“That’s exactly what An’i would say…” Lycorina nodded.
However, the first hero to say these words in front of his followers was actually Layton.
As for what An Yi and the believers said, Lycorina hasn't received the news yet, perhaps because she doesn't want to affect her mindset before the battle?
After all, the word "extinction" is too extreme.
An Yi didn't specifically tell her about this, there was no particular reason.
Because as long as she throws herself into this war, she will eventually understand.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I don't have much of an opinion on the matter of defeating the Demon King."
"I estimate that I'll be devoting myself to the battle against goblins for a long time to come," Eddie said apologetically.
"It's alright, it's alright. Exterminating goblins is also exterminating the Demon Continent race. Besides, the people on the border are not troubled by the other demon races deep in the Second Demon Realm, but by goblins."
"It's a good thing that there are brave warriors who are specifically looking to deal with goblins," Lycorina said with a smile.
Unlike other heroes, Lycorina knew exactly how many regions were affected by goblins.
Although many heroes also harbor hatred towards goblins, the Hero Alliance does not encourage the repeated killing of large numbers of goblins due to the experience reduction issue.
Because that would waste time hunting other demons to level up.
Considering the average strength of all the heroes, the goblin extermination was just a periodic cleanup, and no real amount of time was spent on in-depth slaughter.
"Oh, right, since we're going to clear out the goblins, we should help take care of the new heroes in each region in the future," Lycorina suddenly thought.
“Yes, I will.” Eddie nodded.
……
"Well……!"
Hilo came out of the room and stretched vigorously.
She scratched her head and looked out the window at the sky, a faint, deep blue.
"The goblins haven't come all night...?"
She thought secretly.
It will be dawn soon.
At that moment, she suddenly felt a little glad that she had listened to An Yi's words, and she wanted to laugh at those brave warriors who dared not rest.
Hahaha! It feels so good to be well-rested!
At that moment, she felt invincible!
Bring on the goblins, whatever!
