To be honest, Rococo was really frightened after hearing the old man standing in front of her, the legendary Terran guide Orlanardo, say something like that to her.

What does "finally here" mean? He's been waiting for her? And what about the "Messenger-sama"? Whose emissary is Orlanardo referring to? And most importantly...... Orranardo, even though it was just a sentence from the first time they met, he had already shown a vivid personality and intelligence that was completely different from those ordinary NPCs, and he was the owner of the Godhead Shard?!

The game in the previous life was a mess by the owners of these godhead shards, but since Mira could not directly enter the game to interfere and supervise, she could only judge who the godhead shards were from the plot progress of the external reaction of the game system and the game information published by the players on the forum.

Bekaz, the mysterious liar NPC of Lancarros, the black and white dragon king of the Strange Domain, these are the owners of the aboriginal fragments that Mira collected through external intelligence in her previous life, and can be confirmed to have the ability to act independently, in addition, judging from some plot trends of the high-level of the Free Federation and the beast spirit clan in the previous game, there are owners of Godhead fragments within these two forces, and there are still some suspects who are likely to have Godhead fragments, but among these suspects, But there is no presence of Orlanardo the Guide.

Although the Holy City hides a Fragment of the Creator Godhead, in the game of the previous life, at least according to the information collected by Mira, no NPC within the Cult of Creation, including Orlanardo the Guide, has shown the same high intelligence and independence as the owners of the Divine Fragment such as Bekaz.

In fact, if it weren't for Bekaz's persistence in attacking the Holy City in his previous life, and even after seeing that he couldn't beat it in the final battle with Oranado, he would have rushed into the Holy City to search for the Goddess of Creation statue in the Sanctuary one by one without fighting back, and Mira would not have been able to confirm that there was still a fragment of the Goddess of Creation hidden here in an extremely special situation, which did not exist on anyone's body but was attached to the statue of the Goddess of Creation somewhere in the Sanctuary.

But right now, Orlandado's performance completely subverts the information that Mira gave Rococo to leave in her NPC database, and the Pope, the current leader of the Cult of Creation, behaves as full of humanity as the former Kinzes, rather than just a rigid NPC.

What the hell is going on?

Rococo was surprised by Orlanardo's sudden appearance and independent performance, but in fact, she was not the only one who was surprised, after turning around and seeing the appearance of the "messenger" in his mouth, the warm smile on the face of the guide Orlanardo instantly flashed with surprise.

“…… Lady Merielo? ”

Merriellu? Who's that?

"Koke, Merielo is the name of the first Primordial Elf."

Just as Rococo was surprised by Orlanardo looking at the name she blurted out, Arya's voice rang in Rococo's head.

"Actually, strictly speaking, since you are the reborn primordial elf, although you are no longer the same person as the primordial elf in the past, there is nothing wrong with calling you by the name Merriellu, after all, Rococo is just the name of your village mother after you are reborn, and Merielo, which means "original soul" in the ancient elven language, is a word specially used by the elves to call the primordial elves, and was later mistaken by people outside the elves as the name of the primordial elves."

Because of the distraction and Arya's communication, Rococo did not answer Orlanardo immediately, and the Terran hero did not continue to talk about it except for the first surprise call out the name of the original goblin when he saw Rococo's appearance at first.

Orlanardo could naturally see that the girl in front of him, who looked like a mold carved out of the powerful primordial goblin in his memory, was actually not a native of this world but an "alien adventurer", if it was another time, even if this girl looked similar to the primordial fairy, he would not think that she had anything to do with the primordial fairy, because he could vaguely feel that those alien adventurers were not the existence of this world at all.

But Rococo is different, since this girl was able to find this place intentionally and voluntarily, it proves that she is different from the adventurers outside who have no knowledge of the truth of this world, and that she knows the truth behind the scenes of this world and the secrets hidden in the statue of the goddess of creation in the fountain pool in front of her...... But the question is, why does a person from outside this world know the core secrets of this world so well? Is it really a coincidence that such an extremely special adventurer looks exactly the same as the primordial goblin who fell hundreds of years ago to protect the continent?

In any case, the only thing Orlanardo can be sure of is that the confusion on the girl's face that immediately appears when she calls out the name "Melierlu" is not fake. And the strength aside, although this adventurer girl also looks a little cold, but the gap between the primordial goblin he knows who manipulates the power of the soul and always gallops on the battlefield of chaos and order like a cold winter is still quite large, the primordial goblin Merialu is real The whole person seems to have no other distractions except for the sense of responsibility to protect the order of this world and all life, and the "coldness" of this girl inexplicably gives him a feeling of being disguised - not that kind of malicious disguise, It's that she doesn't seem to know how to express her true feelings directly, so she subconsciously chooses this way of escaping.

Probably, it's really just that he's thinking too much, right?

“…… Ahem, little adventurer girl, did you come to me just to be in a daze at me? Restoring his original peace and kindness, Orlanardo looked at Rococo with a smile, "Oh, by the way, since you have come to the inner sanctum as a believer, you must want to hear the teachings of the goddess of creation, right?" ”

Originally, Rococo was still thinking about the unusually independent self-will shown by Orlanardo and the deep secrets that might be hidden behind it, but after hearing the old man say this, the girl who thought that Oranado was going to start rambling at length like the priests in charge of preaching in the outer temple hurriedly spoke.

"Ah, no, I'm not here to ......"

Speaking of this, Rococo was suddenly a little speechless, according to normal logic, the purpose of coming to the inner sanctum of the temple was to listen to the teachings of these religious idols of the Goddess of Creation Sect, and the Orana Doco standing in front of her was the current Pope, she didn't think much about it just now and subconsciously opened her mouth to deny it...... Will it make Orlanardo angry and think that her motives for coming to the inner sanctum are not pure?

"Well, Your Majesty, I mean, I do want to hear from you and the Bishops, but this ...... I ......"

Just when Rococo was entangled, he saw that Orlanardo was not only not angry, but showed a more kind smile.

"Hehe, don't be nervous, little girl, I actually know, you're here for this, right?"

Saying this, Orlanardo pointed to the statue of the goddess in the center of the fountain, Rococo did not expect him to be so straightforward, opened his mouth but did not know what to say, and finally had to nod softly.

It seemed that because of Rococo's frankness, Orlando's smile became more amiable, and receiving encouragement from the old man's smile, Rococo finally spoke.

"Guide, you just said that the 'messenger' is ......."

"Oh? Am I wrong? Little girl, aren't you the messenger who has been commissioned by the Goddess to collect the fragments of her Godhead scattered in the world? ”

"Ah, no, I mean I didn't mean that, it's just ......" Rococo scratched his head, "...... I haven't even had time to introduce myself, but you seem to know everything for a long time, and ...... You don't seem to doubt my identity or origin at all......"

Hearing Rococo's somewhat tangled question, Orlanardo smiled, and then looked reverently at the statue of the goddess in the center of the fountain.

"Of course, child, I will not doubt you, because everything about you was told to me by the Goddess, and the first thing we have to learn as believers is to be true to our faith and abandon all doubts in front of the Goddess."

Hearing that Orlanado sounded a bit of a miracle to outsiders, but in fact it was undoubtedly really from his heart, Rococo didn't know what to judge...... Fortunately, Alya is a bit sha, though...... Ahem is natural, but she's a good goddess and not an evil god, so it's probably not a big problem for Orlanardo to trust Arya so blindly.

Oranado didn't seem to care if Rococo would agree with his sincere or blind religious views, and after giving a salute to the statue with his eyes closed and his head bowed, Oranado turned around again and spoke to Rococo.

"So kid, you're here today to take away the Goddess-sama's Godhead fragment, right?"

Now that the words have been spoken, Rococo no longer has anything to hide, although she still doesn't know why Oranado is different from what she knows, and his words and deeds are exactly the same as the true godhead owner, but through the knowledge of the game materials in her previous life, it is clear to her that Orlanardo has always been on the side of the order, in other words, he is someone who can be trusted.

"Yes, Guide...... I don't know if you're clear, Plague Mage Bekaz...... A careerist who also possesses a fragment of the Godhead of the Goddess, he has set his sights on this place for his own ambition, with the aim of seizing the Godhead in the Holy City, and if I can, I hope to be able to recover it before his ambition is set across. ”

Orlanardo looked at Rococo's determined eyes, as if to read her determination, and after a few seconds, the old man laughed.

"Child, in this Honkai world, you are the only messenger chosen by the goddess, and I will not stop you if you want to...... However, can you guarantee that if Bekaz knew that the Godhead of the Holy City had been taken away by you in advance and turned to attack you, would you be able to protect the fragment of Godhead in your hand? ”

Rococo pursed his lips.

"I really don't have this ability now, but the primordial elf does."

Hearing Rococo's words, Orlandado's eyes lit up, and he finally confirmed what he had always suspected.

“…… If that's the case, I have a good suggestion. ”
