Chapter 10: The Fallen Hero
William Kmeixiu, known to those who are familiar with him, is a candidate for the human brave, because he is good at the adjustment of the holy sword, even if he is evaluated as not having the talent to become a brave, he can still be selected to defeat the "Star God" team, and take on the heavy responsibility of saving the world.
Such a man should be respected everywhere, but at this moment he was wearing a filthy cloak, and his floppy hood was over his head, covering most of his face, like a down-and-out vagabond.
It's not a clichΓ© of unloading the mill and killing a donkey, and there is no persecution and suppression from the top of the government, and the hero who should have been cheered has become what he is now, just for a simple reason.
William looked up slightly, he was in a bustling market, it was very noisy, but it was full of creatures in the form of wild beasts, such as cats, wolves, rabbits, etc. Rather than simply having features such as ears and tails, they look like enlarged animals in terms of facial features and physique, but instead they walk upright.
They wear clothes and boots, and carry out the same social activities as humans, and the so-called human ...... It was extinct 500 years ago.
This is the reason why the hero has become a homeless man, no one will cheer for the old antiques of 500 years ago, let alone for the old antiques of different races, they have their own lives, they don't want to worry about the welfare of the heroes, how to earn daily living expenses, is the most important thing for them.
William lowered his head silently, this is good, but unfortunately this is no longer my world.
He laughed to himself and continued to walk forward. Today he has an appointment.
But an exclamation drew the crowd and stopped William's footsteps.
He looked up and followed everyone's gaze, and saw a girl with long blue hair falling from a three-story high shelf with a black cat in her arms, this height is very dangerous, and if she lands in a bad posture, she may be killed on the spot.
The girl's unfortunate state is that she is in a head-down state, which is the worst kind of landing posture.
The surrounding "people" were too late and powerless to rescue, so they let out the exclamation just now.
Damn it!
As a former brave William, he had a strong physique, but the battle in 500 years caused very serious damage to his body, leaving him in a state where he would collapse and fall to the ground at any time.
But he didn't hesitate for even a second, and he had already made a decision. Even if humanity has perished, protection from the weak is still in his blood. As the incantation lit up in his mouth, a light appeared from him, this was a haste, a magic that belonged only to humans, with which he could have rushed up to catch the girl. But as soon as he moved, a hand pressed on his shoulder, stopping his movement.
"You unlucky bastard, what do you want to do with your current body? Leave it to the experts to do this kind of thing like heroes saving beauty!"
The familiar tone sounded, making William's eyes widen in surprise, a strand of long purple hair floated in front of him, and a slender figure rushed out, jumped high and caught the falling girl in a princess holding posture, and then slowly fell in a circle among a ray of light and petals, looking extremely romantic.
William looked at Miss A2 and Miss 2B, who were lighting and scattering flower petals on the roof, and couldn't help laughing...... Heroic and uninhibited.
Not only were the onlookers dumbfounded, but even the rescued were dumbfounded, Cortana looked at each other with affectionate eyes, and said gently: "You are safe, little kitten." β
"Meow!" the black cat in the arms of the rescued girl dropped a blue brooch in her mouth and ran away.
"That ......" the girl said to Cortana with a scared expression, "Thank you very much for saving me, but if you don't bother, can you let me go?"
"Name, beautiful young lady. Cortana smiled and said, "I think it's a reward I've won." β
The girl was furious at Cortana's gaze, and pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "Kodoli, my name is Kodoli Notta SeΓ±oris. β
"The name is too long for the owner to remember. 2B said.
A2 shrugged in agreement.
"Xiao Ke, I'll just call you Xiao Ke!" Xiao Na has a lot of experience in the field of low IQ and quickly found a solution. She handed the blue brooch to Kodoli and smiled heartily, "It's yours, give it back to you!"
Kodoli hurriedly took it and thanked her gratefully.
At this moment, a noisy sound came from the crowd next to him.
"How can a hairless and non-requisitive species appear on Island 28?"
"It's scary!"
"Mom, what are they?"
"Don't look!"
"Get out of here without requisition!"
"Get out!"
Kodoli reached out and touched the top of her head, her face shocked: "Oops, hat ......"
Cortana looked around, grabbed her hair and said to everyone, "I have Mao's words too." β
Everyone took a step back.
Kodoli was also speechless for a while, where did her life-saving benefactor come from, how could she not even understand the basic attempts. The inhabitants of Island 28 are very xenophobic, especially disgusted by races that have no hair on the surface of their bodies, no claws and no fangs, and at least they know how to hide it with a hood and cloak, why this purple-haired girl does not know how to hide it at all.
The crowd's shouts grew stronger, and A2 and 2B jumped off the rooftops.
"There are two more!"
"Unforgivable!"
The crowd gradually gathered around, and there was a tendency to start fighting without saying a word.
A cold sweat broke out on William's head, and he hurriedly squeezed in from the crowd. He knows the character of those three people, and those who dare to do something to them generally don't end well, and this island may be slapped into slag!
"Lord Cortana, come with me!" William shouted, tugging at Kodori's wrist. He knew he couldn't pull Cortana, but if he had a "bait", it would be much easier.
Before poor Kodoli could react to what was happening, she was dragged away by William.
"Eh~~~~~~"
"Damn, William, you guy has been robbing women with me for 500 years, and now you want to rob me?" Xiao Na screamed and chased after him.
2B and A2 looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and followed.
In a remote alley, William leaned against the wall and gasped for breath, on the other hand, Kodori's face was not red and she was out of breath as if she was fine, 2B and A2 needless to say, Cortana even touched the apple that came from nowhere, and said while clicking and eating: "Running two steps and panting like this, your current state is worse than Fred." β
"This ...... There's ...... in it Very deep reasons. William wiped the beads of sweat from his chin and panted and said, "And who is Fred?"
"Brave men like you. Cortana replied, "But he is a standard winner in life, not only becoming the king of a country, but also marrying an elven princess, much better than you, the unlucky bastard who has been deleted and retrained." β
"Deletion retraining?" William paused for a moment, and then quickly understood what Cortana meant, isn't he the same as deleting and retraining now? With his current physical fitness, I'm afraid that a slime in the novice village can hammer him.
"There's a ...... in this Very deep reasons. William smiled wryly and repeated.
"Of course I do. I want to ask what the hell is going on in this world?"
"I didn't get much information, and ...... It's a long story. β
"It's okay, what I have is time. Find a place to talk?"
"Of course. But ......" William looked at Kodori, who looked confused, turned to Cortana and said, "Please give me a little time." β
Cortana graciously agreed.
William walked up to Kodori, took a deep breath and said, "The food on this island is super unpalatable, and there are no special products, so it's not a good place for sightseeing. Let's go, you're fed up with this island, I'll take you to the harbor area. β
"That...... The ......" Kodori looked like she was about to say something.
William stopped, sighed, and said, "Sure enough, is there a place you want to go?"
Kodori's eyes lit up and she nodded.
William looked at Cortana, who was nibbling on a pear. He helplessly held his forehead and said to Kodori, "Say, where do you want to go?"
"Over there!" said Kodori, pointing to the clock tower at the highest point in the city in the distance.
"Cortana-sama, I'm ......"
"Well, I've heard it all.,Let's go.,Refuse the beautiful girl's request, but you'll never have a fight in your life.γ β
"It's not for that reason, but ...... Thank you very much!"
William nodded, and led Kodori towards the bell tower.
2B walked up to Cortana and said, "Master, is this really good?"
"What?"
"Allowing William to brush Miss Kodori's favorability may threaten your new relationship. β
"That's kidding, how is that possible!" Cortana waved her hand and said confidently, "I'm Kodori's life-saving benefactor, this is just a safe thing." She must be married now, and I have to give her proper space...... Well, that's what the book says. β
2B was silent, and A2 said disdainfully, "Idiot master!"
"Why am I an idiot again, damn A2, I'll ask Sister Penny to get me a new one when I come back!"
