“Yes, that’s normal. At least people won’t misunderstand anything,” Annie said.
“Alright then, from now on, I slept with Miluko last night!” Lycorina said earnestly.
An Yi: "..."
Could you please refrain from using language that could be misunderstood?
Milu: "Okay, okay..."
After a lot of fuss, the three of them finally came out of the room.
In order to avoid appearing at the same time as the two, An Yi went downstairs first.
Lycorina took Miluko back to their room.
"Miluko, can you help me change my clothes?"
"……what?"
"From a young age, every morning when I got up, someone would help me get dressed."
The saintess's robe is difficult to wear, and I don't know how to wear it properly.
So, could you help me with this?
"Ah, um." Milu nodded weakly.
She dared not say it...
In fact, she always had maids help her dress when she was a child.
Even the dress she thought looked best, she didn't know how to style, so she just put it on.
About ten minutes later.
The two came downstairs. Lycorina's clothes looked a little disheveled, while Miluko's clothes had turned grayish-white.
...It burned out!
The cultists saw Lycorina and immediately came over to ask where she had been.
The female believers wanted to help Lycorina change her clothes early in the morning, but when they found she wasn't in her room, they went looking for her.
Lycorina gave the story they had discussed beforehand, telling them that she had slept in Miluko's room for one night.
The burnt-out Milu nodded like a puppet, agreeing with whatever she said.
Yes, yes, you're all right.
After having breakfast, the group set off for the forest where slimes roam, watched by the villagers.
Along the way, the two female warriors chose to travel by carriage, while Annie and Layton walked with the group.
Lycorina leaned against the car window, looking at the scenery outside, while Miluko huddled on the other side, lost in thought.
Have any people from your village been to that forest before?
Layton asked the villager who was leading the way.
The villager shook his head: "A long time ago, someone went in to explore, but they never came out again, and people in later generations have stopped going in."
“That sounds dangerous,” Annie remarked casually.
Of course he knew it was dangerous.
Entering this forest is like entering the Slime King's territory; getting in is easy, but getting out is difficult.
Demons don't like to eat people, but killing humans is instinctive for them, and they won't miss any opportunity to kill humans.
Is this how the game is designed?
"Anyway, no one in our village dares to go in. Even when they're cleaning up the slime, they only do it in this outskirts."
"Besides slimes, no other magical beasts come to the village from the forest, so there's no need to explore it," the villager continued to explain.
"However, as long as slimes continue to appear in the forest, the disaster is not over."
Layton said in a deep voice, then shouted excitedly.
"Exploring the forest and eliminating these slimes at their source is the mission of us heroes!"
"Ohh ...
The group continued onward, and after walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally approached the edge of the forest.
A forest is not just a small patch of trees, but a mountain range that stretches as far as the eye can see.
In the wilderness at the edge of the forest, you can see all sorts of slimes hopping and jumping out of the forest.
Every so often in the wilderness, there are slime cleaners in work clothes. Now that we're quite close to the forest, we can even see them.
People are often seen in the vast wilderness, which makes the long journey less desolate.
The slime cleaners were all villagers from the village. When they saw the group of believers heading to the forest, they gathered from all directions.
"Four valiant warriors, members of the Aldrich Theocracy, are you heading into the mountains?" someone asked.
They went out to work early in the morning and didn't return until 6 pm. They had some information gaps with the villagers and didn't know that the brave warrior was going to explore the forest.
"Yes, heroes, we must go into the mountains to find the source of the slimes' birth and completely eliminate them!" a villager said excitedly.
In an instant, all the slime cleaners were overjoyed.
They are different from Masi, because of these slimes, they have to work non-stop every day, from early morning to late at night, and even work in shifts with their days and nights reversed.
If they could, they would rather stay at home and farm than keep doing such hard work.
It would be great if slimes could stop appearing!
Chapter 35 Disaster-Level Skill Point Allocation
"The fact that there are people working around the forest means it's safe not to step into the forest, right?" Annie stood on the road in front of the forest, gazing into the distance.
"Yes, hero."
"Even if you walk a bit into the forest, it's fine," one of the slime cleaners responded.
"How far is 'walking a distance'?" Annie asked.
"Well... I don't know either." The other person scratched their head awkwardly. "But once you get within a certain distance, the slimes will gather around."
Although the reason is unknown, being surrounded by slimes would be dangerous, so we haven't ventured any further.
There's nothing to be afraid of with slimes, but nobody knows how many slimes will eventually gather.
If there are too many of them, ordinary people like them can't handle them.
It is possible to continue exploring, but in the end, it will also end in a hasty retreat.
It's not hard to guess that the ancestors who died in the forest were trapped inside by slimes because they went too far into the forest.
“In that case, let’s just have the four of us go in!” Layton suggested.
“Yes, I agree.” An Yi nodded. “If we encounter danger, too many people will only get in the way.”
"Slimes are alright, but if there are higher-level demons deep in the forest, we can't be sure of the safety of too many people."
"This……"
The cultists exchanged glances, looked around at the others, and finally focused their attention on Lycorina.
"Don't worry, I don't need your protection anymore. I've become stronger!" Lycorina patted her chest and said confidently.
After saying that, the believers suddenly remembered the golden rain from the previous day.
That was divine punishment that Her Highness prayed to God for!
Yes! Her Highness is already very strong!
If they follow them and actually encounter a powerful demon deep in the forest, wouldn't Her Highness have to turn back to protect them?!
The believers exchanged glances and finally nodded firmly.
The leader of the cultists stepped forward and bowed deeply to the other three heroes.
"Please, three brave warriors, protect Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"
Then the believers chanted in unison;
"Please, three brave warriors, protect Her Highness the Holy Maiden!!"
"Oh—!! Of course!"
A flash of white light appeared in Layton's hand, and a shield materialized.
"My shield! A shield to protect life! Whether it's Her Highness the Saintess, you all, or this world, I will protect you with this shield!!"
“Ooo ...
The believers were moved to tears!
Milu imagined herself shouting out her bold words, but when she recalled her humiliating defeat yesterday, she immediately returned to reality.
"Protecting Her Highness... I simply cannot do it!!"
If some high-level demon really appears, it seems she has no choice but to run away!
"I hope we don't run into it..."
Milu prayed silently in her heart.
"Everyone, there's no need to exaggerate like that..." Lycorina waved her hands.
She actually had no concept of danger.
Firstly, because she has healing abilities, and secondly, because her magical power is very abundant.
In addition, she has a rebirth ability that she has never told anyone.
If any member of the team unfortunately dies, she can use that ability to revive them.
But I don't think we'll be in such a desperate situation, right?
After all, An Yi is still there.
Yes, her confidence stemmed not only from her own abilities, but also from her understanding of An Yi's strength.
The fiery wave that An Yi unleashed with her sword yesterday was no weaker than her [Heavenly Waterfall]!
