"Mr. Fangzheng, Mai Lu hasn't been out for a few days, do you know what's going on?"

Mains found Fang Zheng and uneasily raised her own questions. It's no wonder that since returning from this adventure, Mai Lu and the others have locked themselves in their rooms, and they don't respond to any calls, if it weren't for the occasional Mai Yin going to deliver food, they would have thought they were all dead.........

"It's very simple, just see the gap between the ideal and the reality."

Fang Zheng put down the pen in his hand, glanced at Mei Yin, and said with a smile.

"Ideals and ......... Reality? ”

"That's right."

Fang Zheng nodded, and then he thought of something again.

"Main, what do you think adventure life is like?"

"Uh-huh..............."

Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Mei Yin was stunned for a moment, and then frowned.

"Brave men adventure in the dungeon, explore, defeat monsters, save princesses, and get treasures?"

"Isn't it romantic?"

"Of course!"

Mains nodded vigorously, there were many fantasy stories about her favorite adventures to watch. The protagonist and his party go on an adventure in the dungeon, defeat the dragon, rescue the princess, and then marry the princess. This is the romantic basis of fantasy!

"But the reality is not so romantic."

Looking at Mei Yin, whose eyes were shining, Fang Zheng smiled.

"I'll just say a few things, and you'll understand."

"Huh?"

"First of all, it's convenient, people need to defecate, but there are no toilets in the dungeon, how do you think those adventurers will be convenient?"

"Woo..............."

Hearing this, Mei Yin's complexion suddenly changed.

"There is also cleanliness and hygiene, the brave and his party have been adventuring in the dungeon for ten days and half a month, and they are unlucky to not even find a water source, let alone washing clothes and bathing, plus they are fighting all the way, there must be blood stains everywhere on their clothes, what do you think will be the smell of this group of brave men after a while."

"Woo............"

Hearing this, Main's complexion changed again.

"Also, what did the dragon do when he captured the princess? In terms of royal ways, the evil dragon captured the princess, either wanting to marry her or eating her. So why did it stupidly wait for the brave to save it? And, since they've all been caught, can you expect the dragon to treat the princess with courtesy? Maybe by the time the brave man and his party arrived in front of the dragon, the princess would have turned into a pile of bones and was picked by the dragon, or she would simply have a big belly and would be about to give birth........."

"Ahhhhh

Mei Yin immediately covered her ears and shook her head desperately to interrupt Fang Zheng's speech.

"Mr. Fangzheng, you are too much, don't destroy the girl's dream like this!"

"That's right."

Saying this, Fang Zheng's expression became serious.

"It doesn't matter how romantic it is, but reality and dreams are different. If you don't go on adventures, of course you can listen to adventure stories, but Mailu is different. If they take their dreams as reality, they will die sooner or later. ”

“……………”

"Like you, is what you've seen the same thing as the reality you're experiencing now?"

“…………………”

In the face of Fangzheng's inquiry, Mei Yin stopped talking. This is normal, just like teenagers who have read too many online articles, they feel that they want to travel to the Middle Ages, and they are definitely dominating the world, holding all kinds of aristocratic beauties and opening a big harem or something.

But what about the reality?

Let's not talk about whether your ambition can be achieved or not, even if you really get a crack army and become a lord, then you will find that ——— cities of that era did not even have a sewer system, and the urine and urine were poured directly out of the window.

The eldest lady, who represents the incarnation of aristocracy, does not take a bath once a year, but only sprays perfume on herself.

The so-called aristocratic castle has been dull for many years, the lighting is terrible, the small window is not as big as anyone's fist, it is cold in winter and hot in summer, and there is no heating. There is no difference between a simple and a rough house, and if it is not decorated, it will be finished if you get a table and chairs. As for the baroque and pastoral style, don't even think about it.

That's the reality.

At that time, I don't know how many people will miss the life of blowing air conditioners, playing computers, and drinking happy water in fat houses in modern society.

The life of a five-star hotel like Founder's current castle is unmatched by a king in this world.

Even those orphans and maids are much better off than the high-ranking nobles.

"Knock knock."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by Mailu's voice coming from outside the door.

"Mr. Fangzheng, I'm Mai Lu........."

"Come in."

Fang Zheng threw a "look, I'm right" look at Mei Yin, and then spoke. Then the door opened, and Mailu walked in. It's just that at this moment, she has completely lost her usual vitality, her face is pale, and she looks like she has been locked in the room by more than a dozen big men for more than ten days, and she is haggard.

"Miss Mailu, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Main was also taken aback.

"Do you want to call a doctor.........

"I'm fine, I just haven't slept well these days."

In the face of Mei Yin's concern, Mai Lu showed a wry smile——— seeing that there were her companions here, her heart was probably a little calmer.

"Alright, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Fang Zheng gestured, and Mei Yin hurriedly made a cup of tea and brought it over and put it in front of Mai Lu.

"How? Have you now felt the life of an ordinary adventurer? ”

“……………”

Hearing Fang Zheng's inquiry, Mai Lu lowered her head and clenched the teacup in her hand, and after a few moments, she spoke.

"That......... Mr. Fangzheng, I still don't understand. ”

"What don't you understand?"

"Goblin ......... It's a very weak monster, why do they ......... So ........."

Speaking of this, Mai Lu seemed to be a little unsure of how to describe it.

“……… So......... Evil? ”

"There is no necessary connection between weakness and evil, in fact, sometimes it is more evil because of weakness."

"Yes, is that so?"

"That's right."

Fang Zheng took a sip of tea and looked at Mai Lu.

"Let's say, for example, if a mage of my caliber ......... Forget it, don't talk about me, just talk about Megumi, when you get to a mage like Megumi, if you want to destroy a town, what do you think you will do? A burst of magic, or summoning a fire meteor, or something like that, can easily blow up an entire town to ashes, and the people inside——— whether they are men, women, old people, or children, will die without even corpses, right? ”

"Ah......... Hmmm........."

Hearing this, Main's face became a little unnatural, and Mai Lu nodded.

"What about goblins? Let's say goblins want to destroy a town, what do you think they do? ”

“…………………”

Mailu didn't answer, in fact, she didn't want to think about it just by remembering what she had seen in the goblin lair.

"They kill men and children, cut off their heads and kick them as balls, play with women, and then use them as pregnant mothers to give birth to more goblins......... Which side do you think is more evil? ”

“…………… I think the latter seems to be more .........."

Mai Lu didn't speak, but Mei Yin raised her hand timidly to speak, indeed, since they were all dead, it seemed better to be killed in an instant, just hearing what Fang Zheng described later, it was enough to make Mei Yin's hair stand on end.

“…………… Ordinary adventurers......... Is that how it ends? ”

Hearing this, Mai Lu thought of the adventure team they had rescued, and they were physically and mentally traumatized, and their spirits were almost completely destroyed. So much so that when they were rescued, they didn't even react like dolls. Börlind's spells were able to heal their physical injuries, but they were powerless to deal with mental wounds.

Not only that, but after this, Mailu also listened to Börlind and Rena tell their story, and after she rushed up in a state of rage, they were surrounded by goblins, attacked, and nearly knocked down. If it weren't for the timely action of the goddess officials later, then their companions might have suffered the same thing.

Because of this, Mailu hasn't slept well for the past few days. Every night when she dreams, she remembers the situation. But the ending is different every time. Yumailu successfully killed Goblin, and when she returned, she found that her companion had been toyed with by the other goblins, and her body was dismembered, screaming for death.

There are also endings where Mailu and others are caught by goblins, humiliated, and then killed in order to save their companions.

It's scary.

Either way, Mai Lu felt so terrible, she had screamed more than once and woke up from her dream, but thinking back to that dream, Mai Lu couldn't let go.

"Pretty much."

Compared with Mailu, whose expression was gloomy, Fang Zheng looked very calm.

"Goblins are really weak, and most of the goblins they attack are villages that don't have much money. Because of the low pay, high-level adventurers will not take on the task of defeating the goblin lair, except for some weirdos. Therefore, those who are willing to crusade against the goblin lair are basically new adventurers, just like you, who have encountered goblins in the wild, and think that goblins are not a big deal, so they take the task and enter the goblin's lair——— and then it depends on luck and strength. If you're lucky and careful enough, you might be able to come back alive. If you're unlucky......... You've seen the end. ”

“……………”

Every time Fang Zheng said a word, Mai Lu trembled, indeed, if it wasn't for the Goddess Officer and them this time, maybe in the future, they would also crusade against the goblin lair with the same mentality, and at that time......... If they hadn't seen this, what would their fate be?

"There is one place that rookie adventurers misunderstand, that is, the reason why high-level adventurers are reluctant to crusade against goblins is not because they think that goblins are easy to get worthy, but because even adventurers who can slay dragons may die in the goblin lair."

Speaking of this, Fang Zheng smiled.

"So, Megumi's presence is very important."

"Uh........."

Hearing this, Mai Yin had not yet reacted, and Mai Lu's face suddenly changed greatly.

"Do they do that often?"

"It's safer to deal with goblins, otherwise why do you think they would let Megumi follow?"

That's right, that day, surrounded by goblins, the goddesses used a trick that Mailu couldn't imagine at all.

That is to desperately add defense to himself, and then directly let Megumi cast a burst magic on top of his head.

This can almost be regarded as a "all the same" trick, after all, although Megumi can't use any other spells, only the burst magic is the real gold level.

However, it is also a good thing.

Because the goblin's lair is basically in the tunnel or in the mountains, if Megumi casts this move, it will have two effects.

First, everything within the entire burst spell will be destroyed, and secondly, the surrounding goblins will also be killed.

That way, if the defenses were strong enough, they would be able to crawl out of the rubble——— which was all the experience they had gained in the deepest labyrinths, after all, it wasn't once or twice that Megumi's burst magic was buried.

And if the defense is not strong enough and you are killed directly, then it is better than falling into the hands of a goblin.

This is also the reason why every time the goddess and Ace go to the goblin lair, they will bring Megumi with them.

For them, Megumi is their "ultimate insurance".

"So you get it now."

Fang Zheng smiled and looked at Mailu.

"So, do you still want to be an ordinary adventurer now?"
