Chapter 4: Sleepless Tonight on
The late night wind blew through the silent square, killing a whole giant beaked bird and two bottles of wine, plus three bottles of milk, and quietly watching the stars in the sky by the unextinguished campfire, and the deserted town seemed to be isolated from the world.

Xia Zhe felt his not very full stomach and lay on the stone road casually, while Alwyn also sat on the curb like a lady.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Xia Zhe always feels as if she has become brighter after eating.
After blowing the cold wind, Xia Zhe, who was gradually dissipating from his drunkenness, changed to a more comfortable posture and sighed: "What a beautiful starry sky!"
Perhaps people who have been away from home for a long time like to look at the stars or the moon in the night sky, although the moon here is not silver, and the stars look very large, but this does not prevent a person who has not returned home for a long time from occasionally expressing his emotions.
"Ms. Cordelia, may I ask you a question? ”
"You can call it Arvin. The girl sat beside Xia Zhe with her hands and knees.
"Alright, Arvin. Do you live alone, or with your family?"
The female knight was silent for a while and then looked at the night sky, and said with some nostalgia: "It's been a year since I left home, and I don't pay special attention to the specific time." ”
"Do you miss home, family, friends, or even people you used to hate. I guess I will. Xia Zhe asked in a very ethereal tone.
Xia Zhe's words sounded as if he was asking Alwin, but it was more like questioning himself. After staying here for a long time, he only has a very vague impression of the previous world, he clearly knows very well that the two places are different, but the specific differences, now he is difficult to express accurately in words.
Recalling the memories that were very important to him in the past, it seemed that except for a faint layer of fog, everything else was so unreal, and he tried countless times to break through this layer of fog, but found that in the end it was all in vain.
He was scared, but he didn't know what he was afraid of. Maybe those memories are just a real dream he is having now, or maybe his current self is in an illusory dream.
Alwyn might have heard something, and she was lost in thought.
Two people who are not very good at words invariably raised their heads to look at the sky, and the fire that had not been completely extinguished made a "crackling" sound from time to time.
The silence did not last long, and a wave of sleepiness crept into Xia Zhe's heart. An inopportune yawn came out of his mouth.
Sitting up, Xia Zhe couldn't help but have a headache, how should this glowing girl be arranged? Thinking about it, she could only make do with her overnight at her uncle's house. I wanted to try the soft bed that Uncle Jim praised so much, but he slept a little long on the hard plank bed.
It's cheap for Alwyn to be a foodie tonight.
For some reason, as soon as he thought of eating, Xia Zhe's brows began to twitch constantly, although he couldn't eat a whole giant beaked bird, but the fact that he didn't even eat a few bites of the barbecue still made Xia Zhe feel guilty for a while. He really couldn't figure out if the woman's stomach was connected to another dimension, after all, the figure hidden in the close-fitting armor obviously didn't change in any sense.
silently picked up a pile of garbage made by the two. The alarmed girl also got up to help, and after a period of confusion, Xia Zhe took Alwin to the room that was supposed to be his enjoyment, pointed to a large bed and said, "It may not be as good as your conditions in the Hero Association, but it's still a clean room." ”
"With all due respect, it's a very good place, and I'm honored to thank you for taking such a hard time. After the bedtime problem was solved, Alwyn asked his question curiously, "But there is a little doubt below, didn't you receive a notice to evacuate, the residents here have been evacuated, what you are doing is really irresponsible." ”
"Arvin, you can also talk to me without honorifics. You, your, that sounds weird. Saying that, Xia Zhe rubbed his uncontrollable goosebumps vigorously through his sleeves: "When it comes to the reason why I stayed, saving the world doesn't count." Xia Zhe, who made a little joke, continued to ask: "But I really want to know, what is the level of that calamity?
Alwin stared at Xia Zhe with her amber eyes for a long time, and said in a very agreeing tone: "The education I received in Xia has taught me how noble it is to be willing to share precious food with strangers, especially since you are also a person who shares the same ideals as us. It seems that the girl not only ignored Xia Zhe's advice, but also believed his nonsense.
After thinking for a while, Alwyn gradually slowed down his speech: "Calamity is the biggest enemy in this world, and after experiencing many disasters, the Hero Guild has also explored a series of emergency measures according to their destructive power, and the level judgment is an important part of it. ”
"Chaos: A crisis that causes a large number of casualties within a certain area. ”
"Destruction: A crisis that can lead to the cessation or destruction of a city's functions. ”
"Nightmare: A crisis that can cause the functioning of multiple cities to cease or be destroyed. ”
"Hell: A crisis that can lead to the cessation or destruction of the functioning of a country, or even multiple countries. ”
"And the crisis that could lead to the extinction of all races: the end times. ”
"They are always irrationally destroying everything they can around them, until they die, never knowing what tiredness is. ”
Speaking of this, Alwyn clenched his fists: "The Hero Association was established to fight these crises, the association can decide the level and number of heroes dispatched according to the calamity level judgment, and at the same time, it can also timely issue emergency rescue measures to various areas that may be affected by disasters to prevent unnecessary casualties." The radio at the top of the clock tower was used at such a moment. ”
"I see. No wonder that big horn had never sounded before. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Zhe decided to learn the common sense of this world.
"Since that calamity has caused so much damage, and the Hero Guild has asked you to destroy it, it means that you are very powerful heroes. What's the difference between a hero?"
Hearing this, I don't know if it's an illusion, the stupid hair on the top of Alvin's head in front of him shook quietly, and the speed of his speech seemed to be a little faster: "To deal with a nightmare-level calamity, generally speaking, according to its actual degree of destruction, an S-class hero or several A-class heroes can solve it." And Lord Reggie and Zai Xia are both S-class heroes of the association!"
looked at the unusually young girl with some surprise, after all, judging from her tone, the S-class hero should be very strong. And she's such a young S-class, "No wonder she had a happy feeling when she complimented her just now, it turned out that it wasn't an illusion." Xia Zhe, who was holding his waist with one hand and touching his chin with the other, muttered in his heart.
The sensitive girl noticed a malicious gaze, and said a little unconvinced: "I am indeed an S-class hero." With that, Arwyn stood up, made a heroic movement, raised his right hand into a fist, put it on his chest and whispered: "Glory, justice, fearlessness!"
"Officially, Alvin Cordelia, the 11th Rank of the Hero Association, is known as "Knight of the Shine". Before joining the Hero Association, he was subordinate to the Duchy of Itis, the Knights of the King's Shield, and the Grand Knight Wendsol Cordelia, serving as the Knight Captain. Alwyn raised his head and introduced himself in a high-spirited manner, and the dull hair on the top of his head swayed with it, and the light of the whole person became even more dazzling.
The young man who really couldn't believe it, after comparing the conditions of the two sides, especially the height, left all his thoughts and said: "Yes! You are the best! But it is necessary for you to say the same surname together." ”
Faced with the girl's unkind eyes, Xia Zhe wisely changed the topic: "Tell me about that Lord Reggie." Judging by his tone and attitude, he should be an S-class hero worthy of respect. ”
"Lord Reggie is an S-Class 4 of the Hero Guild, and his hero is called "War Ender", and he is a very powerful, reliable, and respectable elder. Compared to Lord Reggie, Zai Xia is just a new S-class last seat. The knight replied in a very wistful tone.
"However, the ranking of the association is mainly based on the points of completing the task, and it is not necessarily a reflection of the real strength. In the past, there have been powerful heroes who were directly promoted after passing the association's assessment, such as in the next. Of course, generally speaking, the stronger the strength, the higher the ranking. Under the S-level, there are also four levels of A-level, B-level, C-level, and D-level with good combat effectiveness, and they are the backbone of the association's fight against calamity. At the S-level level, the strategic-level forces that will only be used after the appearance of a calamity above the "Nightmare" level and a powerful wanted criminal above A level will be used, and it is not that the association will dispatch it at will. ”
Alvin's detailed explanation made Xia Zhe, who heard this, somewhat understand, it seems that the number of powerful calamities is not as much as imagined, otherwise relying on this eleven-man football team alone, it is really not necessary that this person can deal with this point of play.
However, for the calamities that do not follow the routine, the power of the association is indeed not very sufficient. However, in the face of the continental countries where most of the power is on the table, such a powerful and binding force is not as strong as it seems, and it is estimated that it has become a "sword of Damocles" hanging over their heads all the time.
Just the strength of the association on the surface is already very terrifying, it can be imagined that on a sunny morning, after a super-rich man got up, before he had time to brush his teeth and wash his face, he found that an eleven-a-side football team that didn't even need substitute members rushed into the door of the rich man's house with a guy, casually knocked over the home of the rich man's house, and smashed a few tables and chairs by the way. Then he stood in front of you and said very arrogantly, this family now belongs to the football team, and the wife of the rich man also belongs to the football team. I guess anyone who thinks about this should not be happy with this possible situation, let alone countries where the actual situation is more complicated.
Therefore, such a non-state-owned non-governmental organization, in addition to being held back by disasters, should have other factors that are restrained. Otherwise, with so many powerful members, a civil society organization that can overthrow an unprepared country at any time in a bad mood would have long ago become a thorn in the side of secular countries.
Of course, it is probably in the secular countries that such an organization is allowed to exist in order to deal with an even more unreasonable calamity. Otherwise, all history proves that this uncontrolled existence cannot escape the fate of either being wiped out or annexed.
