Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

After all, there are only a few NPCs who call her the child of destiny. Maybe Delan really knows something.

But first things first, Ye Qing stabbed De Lan a few more times, and only felt relieved after making sure he was completely dead.

It was at this time that her teammates also rushed here.

Surrounded by players and a large number of Gnomes, the Stars were fighting a bloody battle.

Even Xiao Xin, who was usually the most relaxed, had his armor covered in blood.

Ye Qing took a deep breath and naturally saw a large number of Nomes pouring out of the sewer pipe.

After just finishing one fierce battle, another one came. Ye Qing couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his tense face.

She raised the Justice in her hand and was about to go forward to support her teammates.

But at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly shone from the other side of the passage. Countless gnomes turned their heads, but the terrifying beam of light enveloped them in an instant.

Ye Qing suddenly realized what this thing was and quickly shouted to his teammates.

"Everyone get down!!!"

Although everyone in Xingchen didn't understand what was going on, after hearing what Ye Qing said, they all fell to the ground at the same time.

The next moment, the beam of light instantly turned into a solid entity, and a pungent burnt smell suddenly filled the air.

There was no deafening sound, no blatant movement, only the locked beam of light as a precursor to the attack.

The siege weapon used to fight against the beast tide in the Empire plot - Yangyan Cannon

The terrifying light, like facing the sun directly, is enough to destroy most life forms, not to mention these gnomes who do not have any complex magical abilities.

After the light cannon swept through, blackened marks were left in the sewer passage, and the high temperature continued to cling to the stone slabs.

The people of Xingchen only looked up at this moment, and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear when they saw the scene in the pipe.

"What it is?"

Qin Fangyue couldn't help but swallow. This kind of power was almost as powerful as the mage's current ultimate skill.

Is this thing controlled by the player or the NPC?

What Ye Qing was more worried about was the intention of the person controlling this thing. Did he want to eliminate his group of people and the Nome together, or was it just an accident?

Just when everyone was confused, the figure covered in dark purple devil flames flew straight in and appeared in front of everyone.

"Dallis?"

"Zero, are you okay?!"

Before Ye Qing could ask any questions, Delaris had already rushed to Ye Qing, grabbed Ye Qing and began to check him up and down. The anxious expression on her face was not fake.

This made Ye Qing even more curious about what was going on with Delaris.

"It's okay. Did you fire the Yangyan Cannon just now?"

Ye Qing waved his hands and wiped off the blood on his body. At this time, everyone from Xingchen also gathered around and naturally saw the dried corpse on the ground.

After the death of the vampires, they basically look like this.

Hearing Ye Qing ask this, Delaris nodded.

"The situation is urgent, I can't wait any longer..."

After Delaris explained, everyone finally understood what she had been doing.

It turned out that Delaris was worried that Ye Qing and others would be ambushed, and even guessed Delan's plan, so she came to the sewer with some heavy weapons.

But as Ye Qing said before, she was the first to break through alone, so the gnomes behind her had already piled up like a disaster.

In desperation, Dralis could only activate the Sunfire Robe Prism first. This thing is equivalent to a disposable Sunfire Cannon, the purpose of which is to clear out these gnomes as quickly as possible.

But to Delaris's surprise, Ye Qing killed Delan without even giving him any chance.

"Ugh......"

Looking at the dried corpse on the ground, Delaris also had mixed feelings.

"Speaking of which, what is the relationship between him and you? Why do I think you two seem to know each other very well?"

After all, Ye Qing had never seen Delan call De Lalis "Mother", otherwise she would have guessed their relationship long ago.

Delaris leaned over with a complicated expression and closed Delan's eyes.

"He was a member of my clan that I converted when I was traveling around the continent. When I saw that he died innocently, I gave him a chance out of pity. I didn't expect that he would become like this today. This is all retribution..."

Delaris, who has never believed in the so-called fate, couldn't help but talk about the so-called cause and effect at this moment.

With Delan's death, the Vampire Shadow camp mission ended with Ye Qing's victory.

A large amount of reputation and experience are secondary. The key is that this time a large amount of rare materials have been added to Xingchen, which are the most important things for making equipment.

Of course, what follows is more resentment from players.

After all, this time when he rushed out of the sewer, many people saw Ye Qing's iconic justice.

Anyway, I have already received the reward, so I will just take the blame if I get scolded.

In this way, a few more days passed, and the plot of the game also progressed.

But Ye Qing didn't expect that they would have to deal with such a troublesome plot next.

"I've told you so many times that any magician's spellcasting cannot escape the three steps of spellcasting props, spellcasting movements, and spells. Why are you still so careless about the basics? You are really the worst class I've ever taught!"

The old professor slammed the table at the podium, looking very disappointed with his classmates.

"The casting action is not all there is to magic, although the action is important..."

He talked on and on, getting angry at the students.

In Hiro's memory, before his family fell into poverty, such scenes often occurred when he was studying in the City of Mages in the south.

The dream came to an abrupt end, followed by a severe pain in the head.

The headache was so severe that it almost tore Shiro's brain apart. Even after he lost consciousness, the pain did not stop its horrific torture.

Hiro swore that it was the longest and most painful time in her life.

When he woke up, all he saw was endless white, just like Hiro's brain at that time.

Where is this place, why am I here...?

Such doubts arose in Xi Luo's mind. She shouldn't be in this ward.

She remembered that she had clearly boarded the train arranged by the informant, and under the arrangement of Delaris, she sneaked across the river at night, leaving the capital of the Hiro Empire and heading for that small border country.

But why am I here now?

Chapter 5 The Name of Hero

However, Hiro didn't expect that this would be her chance to find her real name.

Soon, sleepiness came over me again. Even though I was tied to the bed, I desperately wanted to fall asleep.

"No, I can't..."

Shiloh wanted to resist her sleepiness, but she couldn't and fell into a deep sleep.

Next to her bed, two women in black veils stood on either side, covering her forehead with their hands.

------

Clank, clank, clank

The magic train was moving slowly, and Hiro woke up slowly in the berth, just in time to hear the sound of the broadcast.

"We will arrive in Rostocka in half an hour. Passengers who need to get off please pack your luggage and get ready..."

The city of Rostocka?

Oh, by the way, I just got a vacation from the City of Mages, so I went to my grandparents’ house to rest.

Hiro rubbed his eyes and took out the letter his mother had sent him from the storage ring.

According to her mother's instructions, the envelope could only be opened when Hiro was about to arrive, so she didn't know what was written inside before then.

"You should be arriving in Rostocka soon, right? I wonder how much you remember about the Ivy Villa you visited when you were a child. That was where your grandparents lived. It will also be your home in the next few years."

"Your brother needs care right now, so your grandmother has to take care of you instead of me. Grandfather was seriously ill and was hospitalized a few days ago. Your grandmother is now living alone in the villa by the lake, so you must listen to your grandmother and remember to visit your grandfather in the hospital when you are free."

"Also... I hope you have forgotten what happened in Night City and your father who disappeared in the city. Although I have never been to Night City in person, I have heard some bad rumors about it. Your father was too obsessed with exploring ancient powers, and he took you to explore those dangerous and strange things in that city in the name of tourism. His disappearance must be because he came into contact with something bad..."

"You have amnesia, which means you must have encountered something like him that you want to forget. Since your body has chosen to forget, it is best not to try to recall those memories and continue to forget them... Those memories may not be good things for you."

"Although Rostocka is a remote place, it has beautiful scenery, fresh air, and clear water. It is very suitable for vacation and recuperation. The school in the City of Mages only has a month and a half vacation, but I think this is better for you. You need to rest well now."

"After you arrive at the villa, remember to get along well with your grandmother..."

The rest of the content was some daily reminders and some prohibitions, such as not going out casually at night, locking the doors and windows at home, and not opening the door to strangers. Hero did not read it carefully.

In her memory, her relationship with her mother did not seem to be particularly close since she was a child. Instead...

"On the contrary... On the contrary what was it...?"

Thinking of this, Shiro felt his brain was a little blank, as if he had forgotten something.

Something...very important was forgotten by her.

Those things were even related to my father, but how could I have forgotten them?

However, the reminder from the radio interrupted her thoughts. She quickly got out of bed, washed up, and packed her luggage quickly.

Hiro walked along the path in his memory. The further he went, the taller the trees around him became, and the thicker and denser the branches and leaves became, until they blocked out the sky. The concept of time seemed to become blurred in this place. If he didn't check it deliberately, he would probably have difficulty distinguishing day from night.

The air in the woods was filled with the peculiar smell of soil and plants after the rain. It couldn't be said to be very pleasant, but it wasn't a bad smell either. Shiloh was a little irritated as he drove away the mosquitoes around him, but despite this, a few red spots appeared on his snow-white calves.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Hero came to a fork in the road. On the left side of the fork, she could vaguely see the villa at the downhill of the path. It was a spacious mansion with a dark brown tile roof and white walls with a slightly bluish tint. It was the villa in her memory.

However, the fork on the right aroused Heero's curiosity. She had no recollection of the existence of this road, and even when she tried to recall it, her mind came up blank.

Hiro followed her line of sight and looked to the right. The fork in the road leading to the woods in the west was deep and dark, extending to a place she could not see, but inexplicably, she just looked in this direction.

An uneasy feeling arose in Xi Luo's heart, making her not want to get deeper into it.

At this moment, a blurry image suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Forget it, grandma is still waiting." Shiro gave up the idea of ​​looking to the right and turned to walk towards the villa.

There was something buried in the soil around the villa. A glimpse of white caught Hero's attention. She approached the white thing and wiped off the soil on it.

There was a strange bracelet buried inside, with vines and dragons entwined around it.

What is this again…?

Hiro frowned, remained squatting, and once again examined the villa and the surrounding woods. An indescribable sense of weirdness lingered around her. Although it was still the end of August, Hiro shuddered.

After calming down, Hiro raised his trembling hand and knocked on the door of the villa.

"Oh, it's my dear granddaughter, come in quickly, it's going to rain soon."

The grandmother opened the door holding a candle, and when she saw that it was Hero, she immediately smiled kindly.

"Hello, Grandma."

Her grandmother's appearance was exactly the same as in her memory, which made Shiloh feel at ease. But when she stepped into the villa, the strange atmosphere in the room made fear and anxiety creep through her body in an instant.

There were no lights on in the villa. Even the beautiful crystal chandelier in the hall, my grandmother didn't seem to want to turn it on. Instead, there were a lot of lit incense and candles.

For some reason, Hiro always felt that this was more like the arrangement of some magic circle he had learned.

Hiro felt her hands and feet were a little stiff. However, she was always more curious than brave, so even in the face of such a strange scene, she had the courage to ask questions.

"Grandma...what is this...?" Heero asked, pointing at the incense and candles in the house.

"Ah... this..."

My grandmother speaks slowly, but her pronunciation is very clear.

"There have been a lot of bugs lately, so we light these incense and candles to pray for peace... and to keep the house dry..."

"Ah, that's right."

Xi Luo nodded briskly. She also remembered a little bit. It seemed that this was the case. Her grandfather and grandmother were particularly superstitious about certain folk remedies and were very particular about this aspect.

But... is it necessary to use so much...? Shiloh took a look at the unusually large number of incense and candles, and his doubts were still not completely resolved. However, even if he continued to ask, his grandmother would probably not say anything.
