Everyone is a hero, but I am a second-year player.

It was then that Anyi noticed that Arya was holding a "book" in her hands.

A small stack of papers had a hole poked in the upper right corner and were strung together with a string. It looked more like a makeshift pamphlet than a book.

Alia noticed An Yi's gaze and raised her hands: "Aminoshi! Aminoshi!

Um! "

She handed the booklet in her hand to An Yi.

It may be that after performing the chant of "aminoshi", the booklet is handed to the orc.

An Yi nodded, put down No. 0 casually, took the booklet and flipped through it.

There are all kinds of symbols on it that I can’t understand. Maybe it’s beastly writing?

Seeing Anyi take the booklet, the temporary leader of the orcs said something to Arya and Noel.

Arya nodded as she listened, then looked at Anyi, trying to translate something: "That... is... ah... um..."

Nuo'er nodded repeatedly, and finally said to An Yi happily: "I don't understand what the orc said, anyway, I will show the book to other orcs when I see them!"

An Yi: “…”

I hope that when you return from the expedition, your translation skills will be higher.

Before leaving, all the orcs, including Arya, collectively said "thank you" to the brave warriors who went on the expedition.

Maybe I learned it from Arya last night.

The heroes all smiled knowingly, but they didn't know how to say "you're welcome" or something like that, so they just said goodbye at the end.

Walking beside An Yi, Licolina murmured, "Are they also waving goodbye? Could it be an offense?"

An Yi: "This is our territory. If they don't use our etiquette, it's an offense to us."

Licorina grinned: "This statement... is not good, but it seems to be okay..."

"By the way, do we really want Miss Ruby to come with us?" Leighton glanced at "Ruby" who was following An Yi closely but not saying a word.

Also beside Ruby is Miruko.

In fact, this is where she usually stays, because An Yi looks difficult to deal with, and she can avoid a lot of sight by hiding behind An Yi.

“She is not the Thousand Heroes, she is just a puppet of the Thousand Heroes.

Because it is inconvenient for the Thousand Warriors to fight, she made a puppet to follow us so that she could gain experience points. "An Yi simply explained Zero's identity in two sentences.

"what?!"

Not only Likolina beside her, but other heroes also exclaimed.

"Wait?! This is a puppet?!"

"The doll is so similar to me! And it moves?!"

"I totally thought it was her!"

After all, I will follow behind with my head down and no words.

"Will it stop moving after moving away from a certain distance?" Likolina asked doubtfully.

"I don't know." An Yi said.

Although the entire city was made up of puppets of the [Thousand Heroes] in the previous life, it only proves that the other party's control over the puppets is within the distance of a city.

An Yi really didn't know whether the action would stop at a greater distance.

“If she stops, and the distance is not far, there is still time to send her back. Then we can let her go to other safer villages and towns to use the puppets to defeat the demons.

Fighting slimes or something like that." An Yi said.

"Well, that's fine." Likolina nodded, then moved closer to the doll with interest and looked at it carefully for a while.

“You’re exactly like Ruby-san…!”

She sighed secretly in her heart.

The other heroes also turned their eyes curiously to Zero.

Miluko quietly left Zero's side because there were too many people looking in her direction!!

"By the way, Anyi! Does she have a name? We can't call her Miss Ruby, right?" Licorina suddenly wanted to give the doll a name.

"Her name is Zero," said An Yi.

"Zero? Isn't this name too ugly?" said Likolina.

An Yi didn't say anything. It didn't matter what the name was.

"Zero...Zero...why not just call me 'Ring'?

"Bell, bell!" Licorina said excitedly.

"When giving her orders, call her Zero," An Yi reminded.

"Give orders?! Can you still give orders?" Likolina opened her eyes wide, looking like she had discovered a new toy.

Anyi: "Zero, do a backflip."

Number Zero, who was following behind An Yi, blinked, then jumped up, did a backflip on the spot, and landed steadily on the ground.

"oh--!!"

The heroes exclaimed and applauded.

"How amazing!" Licorina also exclaimed.

If Ruby saw Zero doing a backflip with her face on her, she would probably be so embarrassed that she would want to die, right?

Licorina: "Anyi, Anyi! Can she talk?!"

An Yi: “No.”

Licorina: "Anyi Anyi! Does she want to eat?!"

An Yi: “No need.”

Licorina: "So do I need to take a shower and go to the toilet?!"

An Yi: “?”

Although, she is a doll.

Licorina looked at Zero with a smile, "Ring! Shake my hand!"

However, the other party did not obey her instructions and just kept walking forward without even thinking for half a second.

Licorina pinched her chin and said, "But the name Zero is really not nice...

Zero, shake my hand!"

Zero blinked, then reached out and took Rikolina's hand.

"Oh!" Licorina exclaimed again.

Unlike a normal person's hand, it naturally has no temperature, and also lacks that vague sense of strength that people have. Instead, it feels stiff.

It was as if a pair of pliers had clamped her hand.

“I asked the Thousand Heroes, and she said that if you press Zero’s forehead, Zero’s faceplate will appear.

You can change your name on the panel." An Yi suddenly said.

"Okay! Thank you Anyi!" Licolina nodded happily.

Then he pressed on Zero's forehead with his hand. There was no sinking feeling, but the interface still appeared in front of him.

"From today on, your name will be Ling!"

……

A day had passed since the expedition set out.

About ten kilometers away from the forest on the border of the town, the brave warriors of the reconnaissance department discovered the traces of goblins.

33 A Surprise for the Goblin Empire (4k)

The goblins' appearance was not because they noticed the departure of the expedition team, but it was a sign of things to come.

It can even be said to be expected.

Because a large number of goblins died, the forest was cleared. After a period of recovery, goblins from areas with tight resources will inevitably migrate here.

Not every ordinary goblin will be commanded one by one. They have to be at least at the level of goblin centurion to be managed by the goblin thousand-man commander.

Therefore, ordinary goblins will slowly move towards areas with abundant resources, and the Goblin Empire will not care about them.

As early as some time ago, traces of goblins were discovered in a farther place, so it was normal for them to move towards the edge of the forest.

An Yi had also prepared a response plan long ago.

That is, let some residents change into white clothes and start activities in the forest.

In fact, it is no different from normal operations, and the residents themselves will help cut down trees in the forest.

They can't help much with carrying, but they can help with chopping trees.

At least some of the brave men who were originally responsible for cutting down trees can help build houses.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the Goblin Empire begins to notice more "humans in white" appearing in towns.

During the time when the expedition was set out, the brave men had their work cut out for them besides repairing the houses.

The agile hero began to lead the reconnaissance heroes to the forest, to the place where the two dead heroes were "killed" at that time.

Oh, by the way, the Hero of Death used up 90% of his magic power to fake his death and has not been resurrected yet.

So we can only rely on the immortal hero to lead the way.

However, they didn't really run to the scene foolishly.

First, they ate food that imitated the taste of goblins, and then they walked a long way around the surrounding area.

Because the reconnaissance heroes can find the location of the goblins in advance, they can avoid their sight and conduct exploration.

Naturally, they also found footprints left by a large number of orcs and goblins.

And following these footprints, we arrived at the entrance of a cave.

There was no further exploration at this point.

After a brief exploration, we found that the cave had a narrow terrain and a complex environment, and it was easy to run into goblins head-on, so we had to stop going deeper into the cave.

It must be said that the goblins were very cautious in hiding from the orcs.

Of course, it may not be because they are wary of being found.

What is more likely is that when they take the orcs out hunting, they can use these caves to disrupt the orcs' sense of direction.

I don’t know if this will prevent them from escaping, but it will definitely prevent them from rescuing people in a short period of time.

If they escaped and tried to go back to rescue their families through the interconnected caves, by the time they returned, all their family members would have been dead.

However, where the cave leads to can still be searched and guessed from the surface of the forest.

If we look around this cave, we should be able to find some clues, right?

About three days later, the reconnaissance warriors began to find more similar caves, and the Goblin Empire inexplicably began to send some goblin centurions to guard the cave entrances.

This made the brave explorers alert, wondering if the goblins had noticed their movements.

Because the Holy Maiden Team and a group of brave warriors with rich combat experience had left, the brave warriors in charge of the exploration did not know what was going on with the goblins, so they called in Eddie as an advisor.

Eddie's answer to this is:

"Perhaps the goblins are not on guard against you, but the expedition team that has been away for a few days," she said to the members of the exploration team.

"But the expedition team is still far away from those cave entrances, right?" asked a brave man.

"The goblins must have discovered that the expedition members can hide their scent.

The sense of smell no longer makes sense.

It’s better to see with your eyes than to smell with your nose,” said Eddie.

"So that's it!"
