Chapter 1782 This Hero is Too Cold (The Weather is Really Bad Recently)

The next battlefield that Listardai led Duanmu Huai to was a border city. When they arrived here, the residents of the city were in a state of panic. According to them, one of the Four Heavenly Kings was manipulating its undead army to march here. They had previously attacked another city, and now they had an army of tens of thousands of dead.

But it's not that simple.

When Duanmu Huai and Listarte arrived at the city wall and saw the army of undead, they realized that the situation was far worse than they had imagined.

Among this group of undead spirits, there were also a large number of living people. They were tied up like prisoners, and then pulled in the hands of the undead spirits like pets. Among them were men and women, old and young. They cried, screamed, and begged. Just like this, they were caught in the army of undead spirits and moved forward.

The guards responsible for protecting the city stood on the wall, watching the scene at a loss.

"Hahahahaha."

Behind this army of undead spirits, a three-eyed demon was laughing loudly.

"What are you going to do now? Foolish human! It's time for you to make a choice! Do you want to kill your compatriots with your own hands, or do you want to be killed yourself? Come on, make a choice......"

The demon stood in the distance, mocking the foolish humans. It let out a harsh snicker. At this moment, the morale of the soldiers on the city wall had already plummeted. Looking at the undead creatures was one thing, but seeing

But for Duanmu Huai, this is not a problem.

"Do you have any way to purify these undead spirits?"

"I?"

"Aren't you a goddess?"

Duanmu Huai stared at Listarte as if she were a useless trash, which made Listarte very unhappy.

"I, of course I am, but the power I can use in this world is limited..."

"Then there's no way."

Duanmu Huai said nothing more. He withdrew his gaze from Listarte, then reached out and took out a small piece of iron from his arms. Listarte didn't see clearly what it was, because the next moment, Duanmu Huai raised the iron block and threw it out. The latter whizzed through the air and disappeared in the army of tens of thousands of undead spirits and the living.

Then the next moment, a dazzling light burst out instantly.

The blazing, shining light that burned even the retina stung Lisi Dade's eyes. She screamed and raised her hands to shield her face. She only felt a scorching wind blowing in her face. Even though she was a goddess, Lisi Dade had to instinctively curl up and hide behind the city wall. After a long while, she opened her eyes and looked outside.

Then, Listarte was completely stunned.

The tens of thousands of undead spirits and the humans they captured on the grassland had all disappeared, leaving only the green grass, which had now turned into black charcoal. Duanmu Huai, who had been standing beside her, had disappeared without a trace. Listarte blinked her eyes and looked into the distance, only to see Duanmu Huai standing at the back of the battlefield, with a pool of bloody debris next to him.

Even if she didn't see it, Listarte could guess that Duanmu Huai must have used the light just now to launch a surprise attack and kill the Four Heavenly Kings.

but……………

"You, you are going too far!"

After they reunited, Listarte stared at Duanmu Huai with eyes full of dissatisfaction and complaints.

"You didn't see the look in those people's eyes. They almost regarded you as a monster! Although I know that your decision was understandable, I hope you can think about it..."

Duanmu Huai stopped, and Listarte couldn't dodge and bumped into him. The hard steel shell almost made Listarte cry.

"I asked you."

Duanmu Huai stared at Listarte.

"I asked you if you had any way to deal with the undead, and you clearly said no."

"No, after all, this is the rule..."

"Then there is no other way. This is the best way."

Duanmu Huai continued to move forward.

"On the bright side, their souls are at peace, rather than suffering in perpetual evil."

"Even though that's what I said... "

"If you want the best of both worlds, you have to have the best of both worlds. Do you have it?"

"……………………"

Listarte stopped talking. She admitted that she didn't have it. She also admitted that Duanmu Huai had asked her. But she had no way. Obviously, Duanmu Huai had no way either, so he decisively chose this method. This made Listarte a little disappointed. Before this, she had never encountered such a thing. At that time, the heroes would accept their own statement that the gods could not interfere with other worlds at will and could only rely on their own strength.

Listarte didn't think there was anything wrong.

Until now.

She began to think seriously, is everything she did right? Of course, Listarte also knew that this was the rule. Gods cannot interfere in the world, but if that is the case, why do they let Gods guide the heroes? Because Gods cannot defeat the devil, so heroes are needed to defeat the devil. That is to say, heroes are just pawns and props of God...

"Forget it, let's not talk nonsense." Duanmu Huai obviously didn't know what Listarte was thinking, and he had no patience for it.

"What do you know about the geography of this world?"

"I, I, of course I understand it."

"Okay, I'll ask you a few questions now, and you answer them one by one."

Although she didn't know what questions Duanmu Huai wanted to ask, Listarte could only answer them. Fortunately, Duanmu Huai didn't ask her questions like height, weight, and measurements as Listarte expected. He just asked some information, including which kingdom the city belonged to, the location of the kingdom in this world, the route the undead creatures had taken to attack the city before, etc.

This knowledge was not a secret to the goddess Listarte. In fact, it was the information that she, as a guiding goddess, should introduce to the hero. However, Duanmu Huai's performance was so surprising that Listarte forgot to introduce these basic knowledge to Duanmu Huai.

"Anyway, it won't work here."

Listarte looked around. The two of them were standing on the street. The residents and guards of the city were watching him quietly, not daring to come forward. Logically speaking, as a hero who saved the city, Duanmu Huai should be cheered and thanked by everyone. This was also the scene that Listarte had always seen when she led the brave to victory.

But now the situation was completely different, and there was a dead silence all around. The way those people looked at Duanmu Huai was not like looking at a hero, but more like looking at a murderer who had committed many crimes. The soldiers even clenched their spears tightly, and Duanmu Huai's expression was more nervous and uneasy than when they faced those undead creatures just now.

"Anyway, let's go somewhere else first. This isn't a good place to chat."

This was the first time that Listarte had encountered such a thing, which made her feel very uncomfortable. It was obvious that this city did not seem to welcome them, so there was no point for them to stay here. So Listarte opened the portal again and set the location.

"Let's go back to the grassland village we went to first. The people there shouldn't have any ill feelings towards you, and they won't care about your appearance."

“I don’t care…”

"I care! Come on, let's go!"

Lisi Dadai pushed Duanmu Huai hard, and then walked into the portal. Then the scenery flashed before their eyes, and then the two of them appeared in the original grassland again. However, this time Lisi Dadai set the location in the village. However, when the two walked out of the portal again, the scene in front of them surprised Lisi Dadai.

The originally peaceful village was now completely engulfed in flames, with corpses of villagers scattered all over the streets. The entire village had been completely destroyed.

"how is this possible?"

Seeing this scene, Listarte was puzzled.

"The Demon King's army is still far away from here, why is this village being attacked?"

"You've already given the answer."

Compared to Listarte, Duanmu Huai's voice was still so calm, even cold.

"This village was attacked by the Demon King's army."

"how is this possible?"

"How is it impossible? When we first came here, didn't some Four Heavenly Kings attack us on the grassland? Then it is normal for the demons to come here and attack this village later."

"Hahaha, you are worthy of being a brave man."

However, at this moment, an old man appeared not far away. He was covered in blood and looked at Duanmu Huai and Listarte with a smile on his face.

"Sure enough, I knew you would come back. But unfortunately, it's too late!"

"late?"

"Yes."

The old man made a gesture, and then a huge turtle with flames all over its body appeared from behind him. Then the turtle opened its mouth and spit out a pile of scrap metal.

“Then, that is…?”

"You came here for this, right? The legendary armor! Made of diamond, the hardest material in Geabrande, it is also known as the Diamond Armor. It is a divine weapon that can even block the attacks of the Demon King! But unfortunately, long before you arrived, I, the Demon King's Army Staff Officer and Summoner Chilkabur, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, had completely destroyed it!"

"………………………"

"………………………"

I originally wanted to find a place to do a side quest, but ended up accidentally triggering the main storyline. What on earth is going on?

"I want to say that we didn't know about the legendary armor. Do you believe it?"

"……………Aha?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter."

Duanmu Huai silently clenched his fists and stared at the old man in front of him.

"Since you've offered to deliver it, go and die."
