I loaded the dream game

It takes a lot of time to memorize all 666 sword-drawing methods, not to mention the corresponding positioning and footwork. It is so difficult that most people who learn the Six Swords will be stuck on this one move for the rest of their lives and will not make any progress.

Lilia was the same at the beginning. She could not grasp the essence of this move no matter what. She could not swing 666 swords in an instant. She even asked Xia Zhi later if such a thing was really possible.

"Don't be fooled by how violent its sword intent is, or how arrogant it is in its outnumbered stance, but it is the true sword of defense among the six swords."

In response to the girl's doubts, Xia Zhi gave the following answer.

After being reminded of this by him, Lilia showed a thoughtful expression and went back to study it for another night.

Then, the scene just now appeared.

"Even if it's cheating, you wouldn't do it like this." Xia Zhi sighed in his heart, not realizing that he was actually the one with the biggest cheat.

"Master, I have mastered it!" Lilia trotted to Xia Zhi and announced to him happily.

Xia Zhi thought about it, pushed Ailu Ke into her arms, and shared the right to touch the young star god with her as a reward.

Lilia tried to touch the girl's little head, and the feeling was so good that she immediately fell in love with it.

It was not until Ai Luke shook his head vigorously, broke free from her hands and hid behind Xia Zhi that she coughed twice and turned her gaze back to the boy.

"When can we start learning the fourth sword?" Lilia asked with a little anticipation.

"Not now." Xia Zhi shook his head and said.

"Then how long do we have to wait?" The girl tilted her head, a little confused.

Are they going to ask me to lay the foundation again? She thought to herself.

It's totally possible to learn that kind of thing while practicing it.

Lilia was a little confused. Did she need to practice the basics specifically?

"Wait until you turn eighteen." Xia Zhi answered after estimating in his mind.

"Won't that mean we'll have to wait for many years?" Lilia said dissatisfiedly.

It took her less than two months to learn the third sword from the first one. Now she has to wait so many years to start learning the fourth sword. How can she accept it?

"Why did you wait so long?"

Also, why eighteen?

"Even if I teach you now, you definitely won't be able to learn it." Xia Zhi said in a statement tone: "Some things are too early for you."

Lilia was a little unconvinced. She admitted that she might not be as good as her master, but her talent was many times stronger than that of ordinary people. This could be seen from the fact that Sister Mandong had asked her for advice so many times, but she still hadn't learned the first sword.

Kirisu Madoka, who was watching the fire by the stove, suddenly sneezed. She had an inexplicable illusion that someone was talking about her behind her back.

"You have to learn something to know that kind of thing, right?" Lilia discussed with Xia Zhi, trying to persuade the boy with words: "Can't you be flexible? I'm your only student."

"...Okay." Xia Zhi thought for a moment, nodded and compromised: "Then let's wait until this mission is over."

Lilia: “…”

This is too much accommodation.

The result of the bargaining was completely beyond her expectations, and she didn't know for a moment whether she should be happy or not.

Chapter 42 The Girl's Promise

【Currently ongoing tasks】

[Side Quest 1: Become Lilia Asprey's guide and lead her down another path that deviates from her original unfortunate fate]

[Task Reward: 500 Dream Points]

[Side Quest 20: Kill 9 beast-like creatures cumulatively (20/)]

[Task Reward: 120 Dream Points]

[Side Quest 0: Collect five ancient holy swords (5/)]

[Task Reward: 750 Dream Points]

[Side Quest 4: Defeat the Exiled Fallen Ghosts Outside the Empire’s Border]

[Task Reward: 60 Dream Points]

After taking a quick look at the side quests he was currently working on, Xia Zhi turned his attention back.

Except for the first mission of Lilia, the second and third missions were triggered when he came into contact with the literature about the lowly beasts and the holy sword respectively, and the fourth side quest was triggered after he accepted the mission of conquering the fallen ghosts from the Adventurer's Guild.

With a simple calculation, if all these four side quests are completed, he will be able to obtain approximately 1,400 dream point rewards, which is no less than the reward for completing a main quest.

However, the second and fourth tasks are not very difficult and can be completed as long as you spend some time.

The only thing that is a bit troublesome is the side quest of collecting holy swords.

As a weapon created by humans to fight against enemies that they are unable to kill, the preciousness of the holy sword can be said to be one of the most precious in the world.

And those legendary extremely precious ancient holy swords that were born from wishes are even more precious. It is very difficult for ordinary people to see one, and the task requires one to collect all five of them and complete the illustrated collection. The difficulty can be imagined.

Therefore, this task can only be put aside temporarily and wait to see if there is a chance to complete it in the future.

Compared to these, what made Xia Zhi a little curious and puzzled was that Lilia’s mission had not yet been judged completed.

She has obviously already been taught the six swords, and with her current strength, she can be self-reliant without any problems. There is no need for her to learn the brave swordsmanship and become a brave.

Or, according to the game's judgment, even such a Lilia will embark on the path of a hero in the future because of some opportunity?

Xia Zhi couldn't help but turn around and look at the girl sitting outside the carriage with him, thinking in his heart.

"Eh? Huh? What happened to me?"

Seeing him suddenly looking at her, Lilia was a little startled and quickly touched her face to make sure there was nothing strange on it.

"Lilia." Xia Zhi suddenly called out the girl's name: "Have you ever thought about becoming a hero?"

"Hero?" Lilia tilted her head slightly, then waved her hand and said, "No, there's no way I can become a hero. I can't do it."

Although it is a denial, it is not a rejection. The girl's evaluation of "brave" is that she can't do it, not that she doesn't want to do it. In other words, she still has a certain yearning and longing for the title of "brave".

This is not surprising. After all, according to the definition of this world, a so-called hero is someone who easily makes people admire him.

They are saints chosen by the Church of the Light, ancient myths awakened in modern times, with the mission of protecting humanity, bearing the fate of fighting against those who endanger humanity, and destined to bring victory to humanity.

I am more talented than anyone else in the world, I stand on a battlefield that no one else in the world can reach, I fight alone without any support from anyone in the world, and therefore, I am stronger than anyone else in the world.

This is how people in this world view heroes.

Although destined to bear a tragic fate, as long as one sacrifices one's own happiness, one can protect people's lives and allow mankind to survive in this unfriendly and dangerous world. There is no shortage of fools in this world who are willing to do such things.

but……

"I don't want you to become a hero." Xia Zhi said, looking into the girl's wine-red eyes.

"Why, why are you suddenly saying that?" Lilia was a little overwhelmed by Xia Zhi's sudden seriousness, and her eyes unconsciously drifted to the side: "Is there anything wrong with me becoming a hero?"

"Will you promise me?" Xia Zhi did not answer her, but just looked at her quietly and asked.

"Okay..." Unable to bear his gaze, Lilia turned her head to the side with a slightly red face and whispered, "I promise you."

The girl did not ask why. When faced with Xia Zhi's request, she just agreed. It seemed very casual, making people feel that it was just a casual promise made by the girl. It would not be strange at all even if she forgot or regretted it one day.

but……

[Side Mission 1 (Completed)]

[Reward: 500 Dream Points]

Such a task completion prompt appeared in front of him, which surprised Xia Zhi himself.

"Does this mean that the completion of a task like this requires the personal confirmation of the person involved?" He was a little confused.

So, Eluko's mission is the same?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look into the carriage behind him, but he saw the red-haired girl lying listlessly in Kirisu Madoka's arms, looking at him with pitiful eyes.

Summer Solstice: "..."

Who would have thought that the Star God, the creator of mankind and the god of the world, would also suffer from motion sickness?

Chapter 43 I have never seen this world before

After two and a half days of long journey, Xia Zhi and his companions finally arrived at the destination village.

"Look, look at the summer solstice, what is that?"

Ai Luke quickly recovered his spirits and pointed to a stall not far away. He kept pulling Xia Zhi's sleeve and asked curiously, "Can I eat that?"

Xia Zhi looked at the colorful mushroom caps on the stall, hesitated for a moment, and felt a little unsure for a moment.

"Of course you can't eat it. What are you hesitating about?" Kirisu Madoka looked at him suspiciously.

You really want to buy one to try, don’t you? Her eyes seemed to be questioning.

Xia Zhi pretended not to see it and turned his head away.

"These mushrooms, if used in controlled amounts, can be used to stimulate the magic power in the human body. They are very useful for healing or increasing strength in battle."

Lilia on the side introduced them to the few people.

As a former princess, she had come into contact with many books in the library. Although she only glanced at most of them, it was enough for her to remember the main knowledge in them.

"But I heard that some sub-species are immune to the toxins of these fungi and eat them as a delicious dish."

The girl added another piece of trivia to the others.

"Subhuman race..." Ai Lu tilted his head and thought for a while, then pulled Xia Zhi's sleeve and asked curiously, "Are Star Gods considered subhuman races?"

"I don't think so." Xia Zhi replied after thinking for a moment.

If you really want to count it, it is the humans who were born from the fragments of the star gods' souls that should be called sub-gods.

It is for this reason that humans are the only two races in the world that can use magic. After all, the magic in this world essentially comes from the soul of the star god. For them, using magic is equivalent to using their own life force, so there is a saying that "the closer you are to death, the stronger your magic will be."

By the way, another race that can use magic is the golden fairies born from the fragments of Eluk's soul in the original work.

"I don't know where the Fallen Ghosts mentioned in the bounty mission are hiding now." Lilia said with some concern.

The so-called Fallen Ghost Clan is a subspecies of the human race that mutated in ancient times and has pupil powers that can manipulate people's minds.

Because they are a signless species, it is difficult to distinguish them from humans in appearance, so they will use this advantage to lurk among the crowd, leading people to depravity and destruction with their cursed eyes and vicious whispers.

Therefore, once discovered, they must be conquered and eliminated before they cause irreversible consequences.

The above are statements from the Zanguan Church, and are also the views of most humans in this world on the Fallen Ghosts.

"Let's talk about that later. Let's find a place to stay first." Xia Zhi made the decision.

Seeing that Lilia was still a little worried, he comforted her, "Don't worry, I have a way to find the fallen ghost."

The girl nodded and felt relieved for the moment.

Carrying their luggage, a few people quickly found the only hotel in the village with the enthusiastic guidance of passers-by.

"Hi, hello."

Seeing a customer coming, the girl who was hiding behind the counter reading a novel and slacking off hurried out to greet him.

"Excuse me, are you staying at the hotel?"

"Yes, please prepare two guest rooms for us." Xia Zhi said.

By the way, is it really possible to make money by opening a hotel in a small place like this?

He looked at the simple layout and decoration of the hotel and thought to himself.

"Okay, please register your names here." The girl took out a book from behind the counter and handed it over.

Xia Zhi took the book, opened it and took a look at it, a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

Are you sure this is the register?

He cast a questioning look at the girl, but received an equally puzzled look in response.

So, he thought for a moment and then turned two pages, found a paragraph and read it out: "Knight Mulan dislikes Ross's frivolity, but his eyes linger on Ross unconsciously. This man looks like an overbearing paper tiger and fierce, but in fact he is as delicate and soft as a kitten, innocent, naive and cute, and particularly attractive..."
