Problem Girls Strategy

A black tail appeared from behind the flower bed near the Adventurer's Guild, and the gray tip of the tail swayed playfully from side to side.

These people are going to form a guild, which is a good opportunity for me to lurk around them. What reason should I come up with to join?

"The World!"

The world suddenly turned gray and white without warning. Jiang Zao walked to the edge of the flower bed and frowned at the black-haired cat-eared girl with a strand of white highlights on her forehead. "She must be the one I noticed earlier. She doesn't look like she's possessed by [What Towards Death]. Why has she been watching from the beginning?"

Taking advantage of the time pause, Jiang Zao looked at the cat-eared girl carefully.

Her long, beautiful black hair was divided into two ponytails with spiral ends behind her. She wore a black and red magician's dress with flared sleeves. Because she was squatting, she revealed her amazing absolute territory wrapped in black stockings and the black lace leg rings tied on it.

Jiang Zao took out his personal terminal and took a few photos of her, then left and returned to Kokoro and the others.

"Snapped!"

"Time begins to flow."

Jiang Zao muttered to himself as he flipped through the photos taken with his personal terminal.

Green eyes, exposed armpits, tiger teeth, cat ears, absolute territory. If this wasn't a tsundere character, I would wash my hair while standing upside down!

Ah, I forgot to pinch her furry cat ears. She clearly has human ears as well. Could it be that she wore those cat ears and tail out of her own interest?

Kailu only felt a gust of cold wind blowing, especially the ears on the top of her head were particularly cold. The flexible cat ears immediately drooped down and stuck to her hair: "What's going on, this ominous cold..."

When I came to the notice board, there were no notices seeking to join the guild, but more trivial matters, such as which guild had obtained rare materials and was looking to purchase them, the fruit market had received a new batch of fresh fruits, and a newly opened restaurant was offering a 20% discount on all items.

"Ah..." Pekolim gave an awkward smile: "I didn't expect there's none here either..."

Jiang Zao was not in a hurry to establish a guild immediately. After all, it was only the second day after arriving in the other world. How could things go so smoothly?

"Let's go hunt monsters in the wild tomorrow. We don't have to worry about sleeping outside. We'll need to spend money to build a guild, so just think of it as accumulating funds. We'll have to take our time to find people."

Chapter 220: The Demon King Died 100 Years Ago

"Protection of Light!"

"Princess raid!"

"Oooh, ooh, ooh!"

Among the names of Pekorim and Kokoro's moves, Jiang Zao's meaningless but very passionate roar seemed out of place. Fortunately, the two girls didn't care, and there was no one else around, so there was no need to worry about any strange rumors.

There are still many monsters wandering around in the outskirts of Landsol, which is a novice village. The danger level of these monsters is not high. If there are no unexpected situations, they can basically be solved smoothly by the novice adventurers.

In addition, this continent is extremely vast, and ordinary chambers of commerce will not take unsafe paths, so it is difficult for Jiang Zao and his team to meet other people in the wild.

Jiang Zao took the dagger handed to him by Kokoro and prepared to deal with the extremely tough giant blue wolf in front of him.

"It's called the Sharp-toothed Blue Wolf. It's one of the monsters that often appears on the grassland. Ordinary Sharp-toothed Blue Wolves move in groups, but this one is very large and moves alone. It might be the loser in the competition for leadership."

After listening to Pekolim's introduction, Jiang Zao reached out and scratched its pale blue fur. During the fight, each of its hairs was as sharp and hard as a steel needle. If Jiang Zao had not chosen to attack from its unprotected abdomen, his hands would probably be covered with bloody holes.

Today's hair is as smooth as the finest goose down, making it an excellent material for making carpets or clothing.

However, Jiang Zao was obviously more concerned about other things than the hair. He held the dagger in reverse and accurately cut the neck of the sharp-toothed blue wolf. The monster's unique purple blood spurted out from the wound and soaked the green grass on the ground.

"Pekorim, how is the meat of the sharp-toothed blue wolf?"

"Hmm... It's not very tasty. It has a strong sour taste that can't be removed no matter what I cook." Pekolim recalled the sour taste of wolf meat that she had happily cooked. She wrinkled her face and shook her head repeatedly: "Unless someone has a special fetish, generally no one likes to eat it."

"That's fine, I'll just cut off the intact fur and leave."

Jiang Zao and his companions fought with the sharp-toothed blue wolf for at least ten minutes. It was not easy to find a piece of intact fur on it. In the end, Jiang Zao did not get the complete fur as he wished. He could only learn from Cang Lanxing's method and cut off its tail, keeping the wolf's tail as a souvenir.

It's a pity that Nymph doesn't know biotechnology, otherwise I could bring some monster meat from this world back for her to study. Wouldn't it be double happiness to cultivate monsters with better meat quality?

Jiang Zao glanced at the grass that was soaked in purple blood and looked particularly charming, and asked Kokoro in confusion: "Won't the blood of monsters pollute the earth?"

"That's not the case. The blood of monsters contains a lot of magic power, which is the best nutrition for the earth and plants."

"If you say so, the scenery at the front line of the fight against the monster army must be very beautiful."

"Huh? How did the master know that?"

Kokoro's surprised expression left Jiang Zao speechless.

I just said it casually, and it turned out to be true?

"There are several famous scenic spots on the front line. Many adventurers go to the front line just for the beautiful scenery."

"Why would a relaxing option like sightseeing be included in a serious matter like war?"

"Ahaha..." Pekolim couldn't answer Jiang Zao's question: "Maybe it's because compared to the brutal wars hundreds of years ago, the current wars are much milder."

"I'm really curious about how the battle is going on at the front line. They're not holding a sports meet, are they?" Jiang Zao complained with his eyes half closed. He didn't expect that Pekolim and Kokoro would awkwardly avert their gazes, not daring to look at him. He was immediately shocked.

No, your Different World War really has a sports theme?

Is it possible that the princess of this kingdom is sleeping around in the Demon King's castle?

Or is she a stubborn blonde princess who immediately confesses when she sees delicious food?

"A-choo!" Pekolim's nose felt itchy and she sneezed loudly. She rubbed her nose in confusion and muttered softly, "What's going on? Am I catching a cold?"

"I thought this world would be very serious with demon kings and monsters, but I didn't expect you guys to be holding a sports meet!"

Jiang Zao was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, which made Pekolim and Kokoro lower their heads in shame. They also felt that the current situation on the front line was indeed far from the general impression of war.

After all, scenic spots, sports events, and arm wrestling competitions have nothing to do with war.

"Wait! If the war is so harmonious now, why did the goddess Eris ask me to defeat the demon king? Isn't she afraid that the demons will be out of control and cause chaos?"

"Well... I don't know the details, but ever since I received the oracle at the age of eleven, I have been preparing under the guidance of the village elders."

"Huh? When I was eleven years old?" Jiang Zao's eyebrows were twisted into a ball, with a face full of question marks.

Pekolim also discovered the blind spot, and sweat dripped down her forehead. "If I remember correctly, Kokoro, you are 110 years old now, right?"

"Yes, is there any problem?" The long-lived little elf guide did not find any problem. The elves themselves are not sensitive to time. Ninety-nine years for the elves is no different from one or two years in the human concept.

Pekolim swallowed her saliva and slowly introduced the history to her two companions with a hint of embarrassment: "If I remember correctly, a hundred years ago, the demon king who tried to disrupt the stability of the front line was killed by a blue-haired hero. After that, he disappeared under an assumed name. The history books record that he also had an elf companion at that time."

"Eh? Is that so?" Kokoro seemed extremely surprised, as if she had never heard of this matter before.

"Don't you know?"

"I don't know. After receiving the oracle, I devoted myself to studying and never paid attention to the situation outside. The elders also didn't mention these things."

Jiang Zao raised his eyebrows and pointed at himself: "In other words, I can officially resign as a hero and no longer have to worry about the love and hatred between the devil and the hero?"

"That should be it..."

Kokoro said anxiously: "But, Master, if you are not a hero, then I..."

"Kokoro," Jiang Zao put his hand on Kokoro's head and comforted her gently: "Even if I am not a hero, you are still my exclusive guide. No, you should be my first family in this world."

"Yes! Master!" Kokoro's face flushed with excitement. She almost thought that Jiang Zao would let her go back to the Fairy Forest after he stopped being a hero. She didn't expect that he valued her so much.

"boom!!!"

The loud noise of the explosion reminded Jiang Zao of the "welcome" he received when he first came into this world, and the gentle smile on his face turned into a grim grin.

Let me see who is setting off fireworks in the wild!

Chapter 221: Professional Adventurers Must Dare to Make a Conclusion

If there is a road to heaven, you don’t take it; if there is no door to hell, you can come to it on your own.

Jiang Zaoru, like the runaway Unit-01, was filled with dark resentment. He rolled up his sleeves with a grim smile and walked towards the direction of the explosion.

Pekolim and Kokoro looked at each other. They didn't want to stop Jiang Zao. After all, they both knew that Jiang Zao was affected by the explosion when he came to this world. If his luck was worse, he might fall into some dangerous place.

"Master, wait for me!"

"Jiang Zao, don't run so fast!"

Kailu sat on a big tree and looked at Jiang Zao and the other two in the distance. This area was all plains, and it was really not easy to find a big tree for hiding and surveillance.

She was covered in grass debris. Previously, for surveillance, she had used invisibility magic to lie on the grass. She finally found this big tree and just climbed up, but Jiang Zao and the others were chatting and she didn't know what they were going to do. They rushed to the place where explosions had been heard from time to time in recent days.

"Really? I just sat down, why don't you let me rest for a while!"

Kailu complained, but she jumped down from the tree nimbly and followed behind her target while keeping a certain distance from him.

Because they entered the woods, the distance she could get closer was smaller. After casting invisibility magic on herself again, Kailu quietly moved to the bushes about ten meters away from Jiang Zao and the others. Her furry, sensitive cat ears finally heard their conversation.

"Pekorim, do you think the one who could create an explosion of this magnitude is a human or a monster?"

"It should be a monster. At least I have never seen a magician in Landsor who can cast magic of this level."

Kokoro remembered the blood-red commission she had seen on the Adventurer's Guild commission board before, which was hung in the most conspicuous position but no one dared to accept. The commission was to subdue the evil dragon. Thinking of such a big commotion, she nervously clenched her spear: "Could it be... a dragon!?"

"Dragon?" Jiang Zao's eyes suddenly lit up. He was quite interested in the big four-legged lizards in the magical world.

I don't know if I can draw out Pekorim's void weapon and work together to fight against a fantasy-level creature like a dragon.

"There have been no rumors of dragons in this area, and the quest in the Adventurer's Guild also states that the red dragon is in the volcanic area."

"That's right, Pekolim. I think too much, haha." Kokoro had just left the Fairy Forest and had not experienced much combat. She had learned a lot of knowledge from books and was not familiar with how to integrate it into practice.

She naturally understood the living habits of creatures like dragons. Even green dragons would not appear in the woods, but would choose swamps filled with poisonous gas, not to mention red dragons that loved high temperatures.

"The explosion was so loud. If it was a monster, it should be at least a boss or a lord, right?" Jiang Zao rubbed his hands, eager to see it.

The monsters on the continent of Astraea are divided into four levels: ordinary, elite, boss, lord, and overlord. Those above the overlord level are called cadres of the Demon King's Army. They are directly under the Demon King, and each of them has a bad reputation. They are always ranked with the highest bonus on various bounty lists.

"If it really is a boss-level monster, we'd better leave early..." Pekolim didn't think they could defeat the boss-level monster.

"If even you say so..." Jiang Zao knew that curiosity killed the cat, so he followed her advice: "If we find out it's the leader, we will leave immediately."

The three of them followed the direction of the explosion and walked far into the woods. Trees broken by the shock wave of the explosion fell crookedly to the ground. The further they walked, the more messy the scenery became.

"The aftermath is so terrifying, it must be a monster."

Seeing Jiang Zao's immediate conclusion, Pekolim joked, "Jiang Zao, what are you going to do if it's not a monster?"

"You must be joking. A true adventurer should have the courage to draw conclusions. Well, if it's not a monster but a female magician, I will definitely bring her into the guild!" Jiang Zao seemed to be possessed by divine power at this moment. He clenched his right fist and punched his chest twice, then pointed straight ahead: "It's definitely a monster, believe me!"

"Why is it limited to female magicians?"

"Hmm?" Jiang Zao turned around and answered Pekolim as if it was a matter of course: "Are there any male magicians?"

Pekorim looked at Kokoro, the only one in the group who could perform magic, and then recalled the adventurers she had met on her journey. It seemed that, perhaps, she had never seen a male magician...

"With such destructive power, it must be a monster. Even my Grimm Explosion can't do it to this extent." Kailu squatted behind a complete bush and whispered, "What is that person talking about? Of course magicians have... have..."

Halfway through her words, she glanced at the white-haired elf "mage", then looked at herself, and most of her confidence disappeared.

Male magicians should exist...right?

Not to mention that Kael's tail was almost tangled because she was worried about whether there were male magicians in the world, Jiang Zao and his team did not find any traces of monsters after searching the area around the explosion.

"Did he perish together with the enemy in the explosion?"

When Jiang Zao was muttering, Kokoro waved at him vigorously: "Master! The wind spirit told me that there is a human lying on the cliff over there!"

"Humanity!?"

No way, I just borrowed a move and it really backfired?

Jiang Zao complained in his heart and followed Kokoro to a cliff that stood out in the air and was particularly conspicuous in the woods.

"Master, Pekolim, look, it's lying there."

The two looked in the direction Kokoro pointed, and there really was a magician lying unconscious on the edge of the cliff, his shoulders covered by a large magic hat and his shoulders blocked by a black cloak with gold edges, revealing his orange boots.

"This... should be a female, right?"

Judging from the outline revealed by the cloak, she does look like a petite woman, but Jiang Zao knows that there is a terrifying existence in the world named Hideyoshi, who is now more commonly called a transvestite.

Faced with Pekolim's teasing gaze, Jiang Zao could only take the initiative to step forward to confirm.

He walked over to the magician whose gender was still unknown, picked up a branch from the ground and poked it on the magic hat: "Excuse me, are you a man or a woman?"

"Why would anyone, when faced with a lady lying on the ground, rudely poke at her hat with something like a stick?"

A low, muffled voice came from the hat, and the pleasant voice proved that it at least sounded like a young girl.
