Chapter 19: The World After the Flesh

Under the combination of Lyle's carelessness, Ami's oblivion, and the nurse's misunderstanding, the bee-based weapon falls into the hands of the pioneers, and the most practical bee grenade becomes the fuse that changes the world. But don't be mistaken, the responsibility is not on the three people, the real sinner is "Ah Tou" who has been corrupted by the dark forces.

At this point, the people of the pioneer village can only passively welcome the changes in the world: the tax collector who failed to do a good job of the superintendent secretly appointed by the king has returned to the royal capital to report on his duties before the return of Lyle and others; The most grumpy Ah Jin drank the hunting potion and searched around the ground for Ah Tou, and finally found Ah Tou's body torn apart by the ancestral ghost; Ah Mo takes on patrol work, destroying monsters that gradually become stronger and even mutate; Ah Yuan and Ah Zhao went down to the dungeon again, looted the ancient books and handed them to Lyle; The villagers worked together to build walls and houses to strengthen the village's defenses, and planned large-scale mining of copper and iron ore to build a veritable refuge under the copper wall.

As for Lyle, after getting all the dungeon ancient books, he decided to return to his hometown -

"Lyle, will you ever come back?" Originally, he liked Lyle's feminine face, and spent time with each other day and night on his first trip to the dungeon, and learned that he was really a person, and Ah Zhao, who had a throbbing feeling in his heart, was very reluctant.

Incidentally, another companion, Ah Yuan, has a crush on an arms dealer, and it seems that he was coaxed into his true feelings by the enthusiasm of the profiteer when he was buying bullets.

"I want to report what happened here to the village chief first, and it is estimated that I will go to the royal capital with ancient books in the future, and there is a high probability that I will stay as an archaeological consultant and study ancient books with other scholars to find a solution." Lyle wasn't going to live here for long, and the Wall of Flesh was knocked down just a little bit earlier," ...... But if nothing happens, we will have the opportunity to live and die together in the future, and the ideal place is here. ”

"Huh?" The pioneers were stunned.

"There is no doubt that the four of you are the strongest warriors alive in the world, and it would be a waste for the world to stay here as a lord who cleansed the Corruption of the larvae of the Devourer of Worlds. Even if there is no action on the part of the kingdom's higher-ups, I will propose the formation of a Salvation Army and force you to take up the responsibility of saving the world. Lyle said as a matter of course, ignoring the mood of the person concerned, "...... Of course, you can try to refuse the king's orders, you don't have to blame yourself, you don't have to feel inferior, no one can look down on you who are already heroes, and every time you kill a larva of the Devourer of Worlds, you are doing good. ”

As for the reaction of the rejected king, and the opinions of the common people, it is not something that Lyle can predict.

"Say something! Am I a greedy person who is afraid of death? Ah Jin slapped Lyle on the shoulder, causing Lyle to stagger two steps to the side.

Rao is congenitally with an excellent physique, but he is still not as good as a warrior who has been exercising for many years.

Ah Mo said in a deep voice: "The crux of the matter is, can we survive if we don't stand up and fight?" ”

"If you stand up and fight, you will be the first to die, if you hide, don't count the luck component, with your strength, you will be the last to die, but what is the time difference between the first batch and the last batch, then only Cthulhu knows~ Maybe it's a week?" Lyle said leisurely.

Cthulhu, who was once beaten away by the ancient Terra, must return this time with the attitude of annihilating the Terra, and even the two fools of the Lunatic Cult have to die. Consider that the Eye of Cthulhu can fly, the Eater of Worlds can escape, and the Wall of Flesh can swim in lava, and it makes no sense that the Boss will be better than them.

Ah Zhao suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Lyle, you just said 'live and die together', you will also say that you will also join this 'Salvation Army'?" ”

"As before, you are in charge of the frontline battles, and I am in charge of the production of weapons, armor, accessories, and potions, and that's it." After a slight pause, he added uncertainly, "...... But in advance, the contents of these ancient books have not been fully confirmed, and I cannot guarantee that the finished products will be available in the first place, and the research will take time. ”

Ah Jin patted Lyle's shoulder with a smile and said, "I understand, I understand~ In short, we are the same as before, no matter what materials we get, we will hand them over to you, but there is an extra process of traveling merchants running errands in the middle." It is said that it will not be long before cobalt blue, mythril, and titanium will appear underground, so let's aim for the new three mines. ”

"That's right...... Then again, can you not be so intimate? I think we need to maintain a relationship between the 'owner' and the 'customer'. Lyle frowned and brushed off his palm, and took two steps back to his unicorn, ready to go.

"What did you do all of a sudden?" Ah Jin looked confused.

"People who have been in the Corrupt for a long time are likely to be corrupted by the dark power of Cthulhu, and madmen always like to sacrifice their blood relatives, lovers, and friends to show that their faith in Cthulhu is indestructible - honestly, for the sake of my own life, I want to break up with the four of you." Lyle flipped over the unicorn, and the holy beast with whom he had a heart happily spread its hooves and galloped in the direction of his hometown.

"Hey, you're going to tell me clearlyβ€”" The Trail Blazers' four-man call didn't stop the unicorn.

The four of them looked cautiously at the villagers beside them.

"............" originally came to see off the villagers who had come to bid farewell to Lyle for a few seconds, turned 180 degrees as if they had been rehearsed, and did not say a word of nonsense, striding away from Ah Jin, Ah Yuan, Ah Mo, and Ah Zhao.

"Don't listen to Lyell's nonsense!"

"We're not crazy! We're normal! ”

"You can get someone to give us a psychological test!"

"Don't treat us and Ah Tou as if we were all the way, that guy was born as a thief, and I was born into a wizard family!"

By the way, whether it is Ah Yuan or Ah Zhao, their love road is not smooth.

》》》》》》》

Seeing is believing, and on the way home, Lyle confirms with his own eyes what has changed since the 'Wall of Flesh' was killed.

Everywhere began to be sacred, and the areas that had basically changed became uninhabitable for the Terra, and only the elves to whom Lyle belonged who had lived in the sacred forest for generations and exuded the same power from top to bottom could live in the sacred area.

Creatures began to mutate everywhere, and the monster most susceptible to outside forces was always a slime, and Lyle had already seen a winged slime caught in a net by a local hunter in a small town passing by.

The people of Terra did not benefit from this, how strong they were before and how strong they are now, how weak they were before and how weak they are now, the difficulty of survival has been further increased, the people are panicked, the townspeople dare not leave the towns, and the peasant residents are rushing into the towns.

And finallyβ€”

"Has the Sacred Forest actually spread here?" Lyle arrives at his hometown, once the world's only sacred forest, and now the largest in the world.

To be exact, he still has a few kilometers to go before he officially arrives at his hometown, where he is now in an ordinary forest in the past.

Merely~

"Lyle~~!" The familiar figure of a maiden galloped out of the sacred forest.

"It's okay not to stay on the border of the Sacred Forest, it's really ......," said Lyle, who had been away from home for months, smiling. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
