From the curse back, I started to eat the clone's soft rice

"And this gentleman, if I remember correctly, we just said that only female adventurers can join the team, right?"

"How can you assume my gender, young lady?"

......

A whole morning passed, and many adventurers came to where An Xiu and others were, wanting to join the team, but none of them could join.

During this period, there were a few guys who tried to make trouble, but without exception, they were teased by Meli and then thrown out by Darkness.

After a long wait, An Xiu finally found the first target that met his requirements.

"Well, then, can I join Mr. Hero's team and defeat the Demon King together and become everyone's companion?"

A young girl with dark red pupils, who looked young but whose figure was slightly out of shape for her age, came to An Xiu and the others nervously after seeing the recruitment notice and said.

Chapter 220: An Xiu: The intensity is medium, it can’t be higher

"My name is Youyou. Although I only know intermediate magic at the moment, I will soon be able to master advanced magic. I am the foremost magician of the Crimson Demon Clan."

"Well, I really want to join Mr. Brave's team and become everyone's companions, please!"

I only heard Youyou speaking haltingly, suppressing her shame.

The above general self-introduction has drained all the courage of the girl. At this moment, Youyou is lowering her head nervously, waiting for the response from An Xiu and others.

It's no wonder she was so nervous. After all, this was a team of heroes. From the fact that so many adventurers had been rejected before, it was clear that it was very difficult to join.

In addition, Youyou has been living in the Crimson Demon Clan for many years and has developed an inferiority complex in the wrong environment. She is very worried that she will be rejected. It is better to say that being rejected is a matter of course.

However, Anxiu and Meili, who had just rejected adventurers who applied to join the team, looked at each other at this moment.

"Youyou, huh? A great magician from the Crimson Demon Clan is indeed qualified to join our team."

Mary just nodded and said.

The Crimson Demons are a special race unique to the Suqing world. They were created by a reincarnated person who was sent to this world by Aqua with a scientific research plug-in. They are a powerful race that is born with extremely strong magic power and talent, and have black hair and red eyes. They look no different from humans.

Every member of the Crimson Demon Clan is a natural born great magician, and the Crimson Demon Village established by the Crimson Demon Clan is also one of the most powerful forces in the entire Suqing world.

As for Youyou in front of him, she is the daughter of the contemporary Red Demon Clan's patriarch and the most talented of the new generation of the Red Demon Clan. Her strength, talent, appearance, and background are all impeccable.

The only problem with his personality is that he has lived in the twisted environment of the Crimson Demon Clan, where everyone suffers from the second-year syndrome. As a result, the overly normal Youyou has become an outlier. In addition, his natural insulator from friends ultimately led to his weak and inferior personality.

But this kind of personality is indeed a problem if taken alone, but when it comes to Youyou who possesses the above-mentioned conditions, it becomes an advantage.

A beautiful girl with strong strength, good talent, excellent appearance and background, who is not only not arrogant but also very obedient. It can be said that she is tailor-made for the team of An Xiu and others.

"But there's one thing we must clarify. You can join our team with your qualifications, but once you do, you must obey all of Mr. An Xiu's orders. Are you okay with that?"

Meili asked Youyou in front of her.

In response to this, Youyou naturally nodded with excitement and surprise.

"I, I can accept it. I am willing to join the team and obey Mr. Brave's orders. Thank you very much for being willing to team up with me!"

"Okay, you pass!"

Hearing this, Meili stood up and gently patted Youyou's shoulder to show her welcome.

"Now, we'll all be companions from now on. How about we have a big meal together to celebrate?"

Chris, who was sitting nearby and witnessing this scene, made a suggestion.

Naturally, everyone present had no objection to this. After all, due to the previous series of rejections, except for Youyou, all the adventurers who had lined up to apply to join had dispersed, and there would be no gain from continuing to wait.

So everyone immediately stood up and prepared to find a good seat.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Everyone, please stay."

A figure in a red robe stood up from a seat not far away.

"From a team perspective, your team is indeed perfect, but in my opinion, there is only one flaw."

"Don't you think your team is still lacking a Crimson Demon Clan magician who is good at using explosion magic?"

"So...what do you mean?"

An Xiu and the others looked at the girl in front of them and asked according to her meaning.

"My name is Huihui, the foremost magician of the Crimson Demons, and I possess the most powerful offensive magic, 'Explosion Magic'!"

"This encounter with you is the fate chosen by the world. I have been waiting for people like you to appear."

"Well, would you consider my earlier proposal to let me join this brave team and embark on the journey to defeat the Demon King together? My explosive magic and yours will surely write a legendary chapter that will be sung in this world for a thousand years!"

"But, but, a normal adventurer team should avoid having people with the same profession as much as possible."

Youyou spoke weakly at this moment.

"Shut up, Youyou, aren't we best friends? Good friends should help each other. I advise you not to ruin my good deeds!"

"Ah, I'm sorry!"

Yunyun, who was scolded by Huihui in anger, apologized repeatedly, and Huihui continued to look at everyone without feeling embarrassed.

Seeing this scene, Anxiu, Meli and Altria, who knew the original plot, knew that the girl in front of them must be anxious.

After all, according to the original plot, Huihui and Youyou should have just arrived in Axel not long ago. Huihui is shunned by other adventurers in Axel because she only knows explosion magic and has no intention of learning any other magic. Originally, Youyou should be alone like her, and in some ways, she might even be worse off than Huihui.

Unfortunately, unlike the original, Anxiu and others appeared, so Youyou, who should have been unable to find teammates like Huihui in the original, went ashore early. How could Huihui, who had just witnessed the whole process of Youyou joining the team not far away, sit still?

Join the team of heroes, defeat the devil and save the world, and then embellish your experience a little and show off to the Crimson Demon Clan. Such a dream script is about to be obtained by Youyou. It is good enough that Huihui does not turn into a water ghost on the spot to drag Youyou back. It is completely expected that she will jump out and start promoting herself.

However, An Xiu and others, knowing the other party's nature of being a scammer, naturally would not be fooled.

"Then let me ask you, how many times can you use your Explosion Magic in a battle? Do you have any other special skills? How fast does your magic regenerate? How can you cooperate with other companions?"

"Well, well... my explosion magic can only be used once per battle. Any magic other than explosion magic is impure. I've never learned it."

Her true identity was exposed in just a few words, and Huihui was already sweating profusely.

"I see."

After receiving Huihui's answer, Meili, who was at the front of the group and following Anshu, nodded.

"Overall damage is acceptable, but the damage method is limited, the recovery is weak, the vacuum period is extremely long, and there is a lack of coordination. It is highly tactical and has very low versatility."

"The overall evaluation is medium, it can't be higher."

An Xiu spoke up and continued the conversation.

"Wha, what do you mean?"

Huihui's expression at the moment was bewildered, she had no idea what the person in front of her was saying.

Chapter 221: The establishment of the Anxiu team, Meili's plan to become famous

For various reasons, Huihui finally joined the team.

Although under normal circumstances, the effect that Huihui, who only has Explosion Magic and has it maxed out, can play is quite touching, and may even backfire if you're not careful, it can still be considered a countermeasure card.

Although this countermeasure card is of little use given the strength of Altria and Meli, Anshu's team is not a team of adventurers like Kazuma in the original work who need to struggle for a living, and they don't need a mouth like Huihui at all.

If he hadn't met them, Anxiu would naturally not have taken the initiative to force himself to get the bad guys like Darkness, Megumin, and even Aqua in the original work, but since he happened to meet them, it wouldn't matter if he accepted them.

Oh, no, Aqua is an exception. Even if Anxiu gave away such a top-notch scumbag like this to others, he would not recruit her into his team.

Just like that, with Youyou and Huihui joining the team, Anxiu's adventurer team was officially established.

Everyone first ordered a big meal in the dining area of ​​the Adventurer's Guild, and then began to discuss the subsequent action plan.

"Now that the team is formed, let's set out as soon as possible to kill the Demon King and all those Demon Kings/military officers."

Chris couldn't wait to propose to An Xiu.

"Eh? Are we going to go and subjugate the Demon King and his generals right away? Isn't that a bit too dangerous..."

Youyou spoke hesitantly.

Unlike Chris, who knew the strength of Altria and Meli, Youyou thought that it would be too hasty for a newly formed adventurer team to attack the Demon King/military cadres and the Demon King right away, even if they had the prophesied hero Anshu.

Normally, shouldn't we start with commissions from novice adventurers?

"That makes sense. I was too anxious. Sorry, sorry..."

Chris also realized at this time that her remarks were inappropriate and immediately apologized to everyone.

"In that case, let's start by taking on some novice commissions, like subduing giant frogs. This will both increase our combat experience and help us improve our coordination."

Chris proposed it to everyone again, but unfortunately she still didn't get approval.

After all, with the current configuration of Anxiu's team, even without counting Anxiu, Meli and Altria, they are still at the supermodel level in Axel, a city of novice adventurers.

The regular backbone mage is Youyou, the reconnaissance, infiltration and sneak attack are done by Chris, the goddess with full luck, the front row is Darkness, and at the critical moment there is Huihui's explosive magic.

This lineup might be a bit immature to defeat the Demon King/military commander, but it is definitely a waste of talent to defeat low-level monsters like giant frogs.

"Actually, there's no need to rush to find a stronger opponent. According to my perception, there should be a high-level demon wandering outside of Axel right now."

I only heard Meili speak calmly.

"Superior demon?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in Anxiu's team except Anxiu, Meli, and Altria changed, especially Chris.

In Suqing's worldview, demons and gods are absolutely opposite. Even Aqua, the most frivolous character in the original work, has always hated demons. Even the Akusis Cult, a place where gods and humans gather, is hostile to demons.

The upper-level demons are basically the most powerful level of demons besides the duke-level demons.

At this moment, it was natural that everyone reacted strongly when they suddenly heard the news about the superior demon revealed by Mary.

"Is this news accurate? Could it be that Miss Meili made a mistake?"

"A high-level demon, Axel's adventurers alone probably wouldn't be able to take it down, right? If we want to defeat a high-level demon, the guild will probably have to seek outside help."

"Why would a demon of this level appear in Axel? Is there something attracting this demon?"

Facing everyone's questions, Mary calmly pressed her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"There's absolutely no problem with the accuracy of the information. You must trust my ability, Miss Meili. After all, even the prophecy about the hero was made by me, let alone a mere high-ranking demon."

"And you must also believe in the strength of our team. A mere high-ranking demon is not a formidable foe for us. What we should really consider is how to use this demon to gain greater benefits."

Upon hearing this, Yunyun, Huihui, Chris, Darkness and others all looked a little confused.

"Using this high-ranking demon to gain further benefits, do you mean exchanging it for a bounty after killing it?"

"It's smaller, the layout is smaller."

Meili waved her hand without hesitation.

"It's just a mere bounty, not worth our attention at all. What we really need to do is use this high-ranking demon to build momentum for our team and for the brave Anxiu."

"Building momentum?"

"That's right. Although I released the prophecy about the heroes, just one prophecy is not enough to convince everyone of our team and the hero Anxiu. If we want to convince more people who don't know us, we must show a good enough record."

"While finding the Demon King/Military Leader and defeating them would be a way to gain fame, we can't let this high-ranking demon go. We should make good use of it."

"I plan to spread the news about the appearance of a high-ranking demon in Axel, so that the Adventurer's Guild can seek support from those with sufficient influence."

"It would be best if the reinforcements could defeat the superior demon, saving us the trouble of taking action. If the reinforcements are defeated by the superior demon, we can then take down the superior demon once it proves its strength."

Of course, that's what she said, but in reality, Meli knew that anyone who came to support Axel would definitely be defeated by that superior demon.

On the one hand, this is what was written in the original work. Mitsurugi Hibiki, who came to support Axel, was indeed defeated by Host, who was wandering outside Axel in search of the evil god Warbuck's half body. On the other hand, the strength of the upper demon is already comparable to that of the Demon King/military cadres. Even if we don't know the original work, there are very few beings in this world who can defeat the upper demon.

Therefore, as long as the plan goes smoothly, their team will eventually become famous throughout the ancient kingdom of Belzer even if the existence of her and Artoria is not exposed.

Chapter 222: The Demon Sword Hero is defeated, and the Adventurer's Guild asks for help

Meli's plan went very smoothly. After revealing that a high-level demon was wandering outside the city of Axel, the Adventurer's Guild of Axel immediately sought help from outside.

This request for assistance was quickly responded to.

"A high-level demon? I feel like he'll be a formidable opponent."
