Chapter Two Hundred and One: So This Is a Test?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Unknown ceiling.

When I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar roof. The stone roof was a very dirty black-green color, and the ventilation windows next to it were even more dilapidated, and even several wooden sticks had been broken off. A cold wind blew, and I shivered. When I looked down again, I found that I was covered with a tattered quilt, and I hadn't even taken off my dirty and torn clothes.

What is this place? Who sent me to this house?

There was a disgusting smell around me, like the kind of stinky socks that hadn't been washed for half a year. This damn environment is almost the same as under the overpass.

Brother, has he been abducted and trafficked?

With a depressed sigh, I struggled to get up. However, the sharp pain in my body made me frown, and the feeling that almost my internal organs were about to be torn apart made me take a few breaths of cool air. Then at this time, I remembered what had happened before I lost consciousness, and I remembered the terrible hellfire......

Wasn't I fighting hellfire, how could I sleep in this hellish place?

Filled with doubts that could not be answered, I was wary of trying to accumulate little to no strength in my body. But before I could get out of bed, I suddenly smelled a familiar smell. Then the wooden door of the dilapidated house was opened, and a girl with a blank face walked in with a bowl of something.

"Misaka?" My eyes lit up, and the appearance of Misaka Hatsue made me let go of my guard. Smiling and saying hello to her, I asked, "Misaka." What is this place? By the way, what happened before I passed out. Did that damn Hellfire end up being killed? ”

"Don't worry, it's no problem." Nodding. Hatsue Misaka placed the soup bowl in his hand on the bedside table. Finding my tattered shoes from the side, Misaka Hatsue answered my question slowly: "Xu Yu, you can rest assured that the hellfire has been killed by your last resort." Although you were unconscious by then, all the problems of the Shadow Forest were solved. Later, Lord Hades manifested himself in the sky, and he used his powerful mana to restore all the wounds suffered in the Shadow Forest......"

"Hades has appeared?" Misaka Hatsue's words left me dumbfounded.

"That's right, and he resurrected all the slain creatures with terrifying power." Nodding affirmatively, Hatsue Misaka picked up the soup bowl again.

But I was so frightened by what Hatsue Misaka said that I didn't even notice that she was going to eat for me herself. When the corners of Misaka Hatsue's mouth moved to put the soup bowl back on, I was there with my mouth open and muttering, "Has Hades appeared?" Does he really have the power to restore all life? It's incredible...... But that's it. This guy could have appeared sooner and easily killed Sodrensus and Hellfire, right? I fainted, I knew I was working so hard? This bastard...... He just watched me work hard and take risks, but he was there to watch the play? ”

Suddenly, my dissatisfaction with Hades reached its limit.

What's the point of me working so hard? Obviously, Hades can pinch an opponent to death with just one finger, and I am really asking for trouble when I am so impulsive.

With black lines on my head, I depressedly took the soup bowl from the table. He chewed loudly, as if he was going to swallow all the depression and egg pain. When I think of how stupid I was at that time, I felt the urge to put down the bowl and scold again.

But......

Looking up at me expressionlessly, Misaka Hatsue suddenly interjected, "Although I don't want to say it." But Misaka must tell Xu Yu that you are wrong. Even if Hades did have the power to kill the Dreadlord and Hellfire so easily, he wouldn't do it casually. If it weren't for Xu Yu, you made a move that made Lord Hades have no choice but to do it, he would never have appeared at that time. ”

"What?"

I looked up in amazement. But I heard Misaka Hatsue continue: "Every world has its development direction and independent future, and no one has the right to interfere in the development and demise of a world. The destruction of the Shadow Forest by demons is inevitable and normal, and it is not worth the course of Hades' change of the world. Let's take an analogy. Could it be that you will help relocate a nest of ants because they were flooded? ”

I can't refute it! For the dignified Hades, a mere Shadow Forest really didn't deserve his attention.

But in that case. Why did he show up?

"Didn't you say that? Lord Hades was forced by you. Glancing at me, Misaka Hatsue's expression did not fluctuate: "You used a trick to destroy the hellfire. That's really amazing. But didn't you find out? The flames from hell are not so easy to extinguish; As you cool the Hellfires with the springs, the flames spread to every corner of the Shadow Forest along the underground waterways. In particular, your reckless pressure on the underground fountain to erupt even more quickly contributed to the spread of the Hellfire. Hellfire is able to absorb all energy, and the energy you exert in the spring water is absorbed by the Hellfire and even clings to it, so that it spreads to all the places where there is spring water. If no one can stop this, the entire Shadow Forest will be destroyed, and it will even become a terrible Hellscape. ”

The situation described by Hatsue Misaka was so terrible that I couldn't imagine it or respond to it for a while. Looking at my stupid appearance, Misaka Hatsue sighed and shrugged his shoulders with a helpless attitude and said, "This kind of thing is intolerable to the king of Hades, so he can only help Xu Yu clean up the troubles." Even if he could only change the future of the Shadow Forest by appearing just like this, he wouldn't allow the Hell World to appear in his territory......"

That is to say...... Hades was forced out by me, otherwise he wouldn't have and wouldn't have to show up at all? I shuddered, and I shuddered at the thought of Hades' anger at that time. What is this called? Self-defeating, good intentions did a bad thing?

But I was glad to be able to resurrect Lady Igerine, Sarah, the Night Elves, and the Blue Feather Clan from Hades. These small lives may not seem like much to Hades, but to me...... But they are all very important beings. Not being able to save them was enough to make me regret it, and now that I can make up for it, even if I am taught a lesson by Hades, what is it?

Thinking about it this way, all my grievances vanished.

Looking at Misaka Hatsue happily, I continued to ask curiously, "Okay, let's not talk about that matter." So what is this place, are we still in the Shadow Forest? ”

"Of course not!" Shaking his head categorically, a hint of teasing flashed in Misaka Hatsue's eyes. Looking at me steadily, Misaka Hatsue continued, "Since Xu Yu did something to make trouble for Lord Hades, Lord Hades decided to continue to test Xu Yu. The previous encounter in the Shadow Forest only gave Xu Yu a score of sixty points, and Xu Yu had to pass this test again if he wanted to satisfy Lord Hades. Gee...... Misaka sighed very much, it is really not an easy thing to become the son-in-law of Hades. ”

My head was full of black lines, and I was speechless.

It was only then that I realized what had happened since I entered the realm. Is everything a test of Hades? Whether it's the sealed Dreadlord or the orcs, or Sodrensus and Hellfire, these were originally designed by the Hades! He wanted to see what I could do to solve these crises and then make an assessment of me......

It's a pity that due to various reasons, due to my various recklessness, it is clear that I have not been able to make a good impression in the heart of Lord Hades. Sixty points is already ten points to save face, and for some reason he even graciously gave me a chance to go through a second test.

That's really ......

It's too much to eat, nothing to do!

Roaring in my heart, my face was very decadent. Lowering my head helplessly, I continued weakly: "So...... Misaka, tell me how Lord Hades plans to torture me again! I smell nasty sulfur in this damn place, am I being sent to hell? ”

"Hell? Of course not. Shaking his head, a hint of expectation flashed in Misaka Hatsue's eyes: "Didn't Misaka tell Xu Yu just now?" Hades resurrected all the creatures of the Shadow Forest, but not the invading orcs. All the dead orcs have been reduced to ashes, and the remaining wounded are now all housed outside this house! In addition, this is the wild world that belongs to the orcs, and we were sent to the orc's hometown by the teleportation light at the end of the thunderstorm beast tide......"

"Home of the Orcs...... I'll go! "I was dumbfounded.

The homeland of the orcs, that is to say, there are many, endless orcs here? If I were to be tested in this place, wouldn't it be worse than the peaceful Shadow Forest? Orcs are all brutal masters, and if they don't get along, they will fight to the death.

"In addition......" It seemed that I hadn't been hit enough, and Misaka Hatsue continued expressionlessly: "In order to prevent Xu Yu from doing anything to cause trouble to Lord Hades again, this time Lord Hades has already set limits on Xu Yu's requirements and achievements. You must get the approval of the orcs in the shortest possible time, and take these remnants of the orcs back to their clan. After that, you must lead all the orcs to set out again, and no matter what, you must find a rich place for them to live and work in peace. (To be continued......)
