New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 56: The Hero of Inverted Time

"Report."

Lei Ye sat on the griffin and spoke to Buyadi for the nth time.

His excuse was that he had something very important to go back and get. Buyadi was annoyed at first, but after a while she agreed.

"So why don't you let me take you there? It would obviously be faster." Bu Yadi's voice.

"Have you forgotten why we have to go back to Scorched Earth? Isn't it because we are worried about the hypnosis? After all, you are the ace, and nothing can happen to you. Wait until the armor is modified and then come to Hillius to play. Don't worry about me. I will tell you directly when there is a problem. If you really encounter any problem, you can just go back to the game."

"Hehe. You are quite skilled at this as well."

The rustling sound of the magic power flowing disappeared, and Lei Ye put down the radio.

It has been nearly half a day since we left the scorched earth.

The sun set and the sky gradually darkened. It would probably not be long before they arrived at the Frey Empire.

It's time to plan. How can I talk to the old king face to face about this matter, and how can the other party tell him?

"Report." Buyadi's voice.

"Report."

".When will you be back? It's boring without you around."

"Me too."

"Report."

"Report."

"I miss you."

"Got it. I miss you too."

As the time they were apart got longer, Buyadi's attitude became softer and softer. Several times, Lei Ye almost couldn't help but tell her that he had prepared a surprise in the Demon King's Castle, but he held back. A surprise is only considered a surprise if it is discovered by the other party unexpectedly.

And if he was discovered too early, Lei Ye was not sure what Buyadi would do, so it was possible that he would fly over and carry him to the sky above Sekoboshi Miaomiao's house.

Lei Ye turned his head and looked forward.

The city could already be seen in the distance.

Hillius.

After passing this city and continuing to fly in the same direction for a few dozen minutes, we will probably reach the royal city.

When observing below, some unusual scenery attracted Lei Ye's attention. It was a large number of knights, who were slowly running in a fully assembled state, and their direction was just opposite to Lei Ye. Each of them was riding a dragon horse, and dust was flying behind the horses.

It was a huge number of knights. Lei Ye had never seen such a number before. It was as if all the knights in the entire royal city had been dispatched.

Lei Ye took out his binoculars and took a look.

He immediately spotted the conspicuous blonde female knight among the first group of knights, who was the S-level member of the Silver Wolf Team whom he had encountered before.

This person looked heroic in her knight armor. Her medal had four lever marks on it, proving she was the Supreme Knight of the Royal City Knights.

There are more than a dozen knights wearing four-bar epaulettes like this.

As for the ones at the back, where there are not so many knights, they are densely packed.

Not right.

"Report." Lei Ye pressed the radio.

".What's wrong? Didn't we just report it?" Bu Yadi's voice.

"I saw a lot of knights here, perhaps thousands of them, and they were heading in the direction of the scorched earth."

After a moment's silence, Buyadi responded in a calm voice.

"No problem. If their target is here, I will prepare super-level magic in advance to entertain them. What about you? Is it safe?"

"I'm OK."

"That's good. Let's not talk about it for now. I saw from the surveillance that a maid came to give me something. It's strange. No one has given me anything for decades. Who could it be?"

It’s so pitiful. I haven’t received anything as a gift for decades. Is old widower Bu doing so poorly?

But it's true that the venue for the final holy war was decorated with a strong atmosphere, and it was obviously prepared for a long time. In the end, none of the Seven Deadly Sins came, and Buadi was the only one who killed people. I guess her popularity is indeed a bit average.

Putting down the radio, Lei Ye once again felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Gone, gone! Buyadi is gone!
What would she say the next time the radio rang? Would she shout "I agree" in surprise or tease the young chef's clumsy confession like a big sister? It's possible. What would she do the next time they met? Would she be kissed forcefully or carried to the sky? It's possible. Lei Ye cheered in his heart. He seemed to have seen an angel flapping its white wings and flying towards him.

wrong.

Is this true? Do angels really exist?
Lei Ye rubbed his eyes and looked down. A knight in armor was being lifted up towards him by two pairs of wings. A sword was pointed at him, with crackling lightning wrapped around it.

In an instant, a strong sense of uneasiness drove Lei Ye to move.

He pulled the griffin's neck suddenly, tearing off a few feathers. The griffin let out a strange cry and flew upward with its neck raised.

The next second, a pillar of lightning shot past from below. The powerful flow of magic made Lei Ye subconsciously touch his head, and his hair exploded.

"Fuck you, are you sick?" Lei Ye started cursing.

The only response he got was silence. The angel knight closed the distance in one breath, then swung the sword wrapped in lightning and chopped at the griffin's head.

Neuropathy.

It was obvious that it was here to kill him. Lei Ye slapped the griffin fiercely. The griffin also realized what was going on. It folded its wings and began to dive, flying up and down.

Unable to shake it off.

The two winged angels flew not slower than the griffin, and they could raise their hands and release attack magic while flying. Continuous pillars of lightning struck down, forcing the griffin to move frantically in the air.

But this was not a solution. The opponent did not look tired at all. He was like a cold machine. He just kept chasing behind and attacking silently. However, Brother Griffin was already sweating profusely.

This cannot continue.

"It's never going to end, right? Lightning Arrow!"

Lei Ye changed direction and let the griffin fly by himself. He began to fight back, harassing with lightning arrows, which consumed the least magic power and were the most skillful.

However, the Angel Knight did not avoid at all. He used his face to withstand Lei Ye's attack and chased him straight without moving at all.

Obviously, this is the reaction of a hypnotized knight. On the battlefield, he feels neither pain nor fear, only a goal, just like a machine.

"Keep chasing, keep chasing!"

After chasing for more than ten minutes, Lei Ye finally couldn't stand it anymore.

An idea was born in his mind like a morning erection.

He held the griffin's head to make it fly straight instead of up and down.

At the same time, he took out the instant version of the luxurious dragon meat feast from the storage bag, chewed it with one hand, and started to take off his pants with the other hand.

The bird stopped flapping and another bird, exposed to the air, began flapping.

The angel knight was probably also a female knight, but she did not shy away at all and rushed straight towards Lei Ye. It seemed that she discovered that the griffin was no longer dodging, and this was a good opportunity to attack, so she began to release lightning magic with a sword.

The huge thunder hit Lei Ye's lower body straight on, and then disappeared completely!

The Angel Knight slowly lowered his hand, and Lei Ye could actually see a hint of doubt on that cold visor.

But it was only for a moment. Seeing Lei Ye bathed in the light of lightning but standing still, the Angel Knight raised the sword again and let the magic power gather at the tip of the sword. More powerful magic power but smaller lightning shot directly at Lei Ye.

Lei Ye controlled the griffin's butt, concentrating the opponent's attack on a certain point on himself. He stood calmly in the air, greeting the divine thunder in the sky with an arrogant posture.

All the electric lights were swallowed up by his crotch, without exception.

At this moment, Lei Ye, bathed in lightning fragments, looked like the ancient god of Hillius who was in charge of lightning.

The Angel Knight refused to believe in the evil and repeatedly used lightning to attack, but it didn't work. After all, her magic power was not infinite. Another ten minutes passed and she became weaker and weaker. The symptoms of magic overdraft began to appear and her body shook.

"Thunderfall." Lei Ye whispered. This special magic that was released in seconds was hanging above the Angel Knight's head. She reacted quickly and dodged subconsciously, but her body was weak and she couldn't avoid it in time.

Enshrouded in the crimson lightning, her body began to melt as if unable to support itself, and fell downwards.

Just as Lei Ye breathed a sigh of relief, a sword was projected out from the light curtain.

"Grass!"

What a mad dog, it will bite back even when it is dying.

Because he didn't see the initial move, he didn't have time to dodge, and the target of the sword was not Lei Ye, but the larger Griffin brother.

Three seconds after the Angel Knight fell, the Griffin Brother also flew down with a sword stuck in his chest, wailing.

Listening to the griffin's screams, Lei Ye's heart was bleeding.

How much will this cost Grady?

He himself was not worried about falling to his death. While falling, he took out something from the storage bag and tied it around himself.

【Wings of Wind】

This is just a joke. A fan of Lao Da would crash a plane? Impossible.

He flew down on his small hang glider, slowly descending, and in his eyes he saw the body of the Griffin brother falling straight down.

Oh, it’s not a corpse yet. Brother Griffin is staring at him, and it looks like he has something to say.

Lei Ye understood what it said.

"Leiye, is there something wrong with your play this time?"

Sorry, Brother Griffin, there was something wrong with my typing.

Its body fell to the ground with a thud. Lei Ye ran over immediately after landing, wanting to see if he could save it, but unfortunately, this time the griffin was really a corpse.

Lei Ye sat beside Brother Griffin's body and sighed.

At the same time, he glanced in another direction and saw the angel knight's head stuck in the soil, probably in the same state. Not far away, her horse was eating grass with its head down, and farther away, the dust from the knights' galloping was flying all over the sky.

. . .

. . . .

. . . . .

There was a sudden weight behind me.

Lei Ye immediately felt this strange feeling. With an idea in his mind, he immediately took off the holy sword from his back.

Hey, interesting, this thing actually regained its weight.

It's really weird. It suddenly became light and then suddenly became heavy. What's going on? Does it mean that its ability to recover returns along with its weight?

"Hello."

Just as Lei Ye was thinking about it, someone greeted him in a cold voice.

"Long time no see." she said.

After confirming what was talking, Lei Ye slowly put down the holy sword and slowly stood up. He took two steps back and looked at the sword. For the first time, he saw the sword light up with golden light because of someone other than the brave man.

"You really do have a sword spirit, I know that. So where exactly is the hilt? Why do you tremble when I touch it?"

There was silence for a while, and the Holy Sword did not reply.

After a long while, she finally spoke again.

"It's about time. Let's go back to the scorched earth this time."

"What do you mean?" Lei Ye didn't understand. "No, sister, I just came out, why do you want me to go back? Oh, yes, so my memory can be restored because of you, so you suddenly didn't react just now, and now you suddenly appear again."

Lei Ye stopped talking. He was a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

But since the other party was willing to come forward, it meant that he wanted to tell him the story, so Lei Ye gave up expressing himself and waited quietly for Shengjian to start speaking.

"You have already investigated the matter almost thoroughly in the past three hundred rounds."

As soon as he opened his mouth he mentioned the heavyweight title, Lei Ye was shocked and couldn't believe it.

"More than 300 rounds? Impossible! If I were to rewind, Bu Yadi would definitely find out that I have lost the ability to rewind! How could I still be standing here? She would have already hung me up and imprisoned me."

"You should still be feeling the strange sensation of the sword behind you suddenly becoming heavier."

"Um"

"That moment is the latest save. I learned from your conversation with Buyadi in the previous save that she was too happy, so she used quick save after reading the letter. After that, you probably repeated it more than 300 times in the next three days. You went to the royal city again and again, and each time there were minor changes due to Buyadi's contact. I have obtained enough information from these changes, so now, it's time to return to the scorched earth."

More than three hundred times
Great fear enveloped Lei Ye's heart. If these more than 300 save files that he knew nothing about were true, then it could only mean one thing: something big went wrong with Buyadi.

He stumbled to his feet and ran towards the griffin, but suddenly remembered that it was a corpse, so he turned and ran towards the horse left behind by the angel knight.

When he passed by the holy sword, he picked it up and hung it on his back.

"That's it, go meet her."

The Holy Sword's voice was emotionless. "By the way, I can tell you something. For example, why you are such a hero but have such a miserable life."

Brave?
These two words made Lei Ye's already confused heart even more confused. He did not interrupt Holy Sword's words nor did he want to reply. He just rode as fast as he could.

"It's simple. The goddess who was in charge of you died. Maybe she was killed, or maybe it was the backlash of the summoning magic. In short, she died on the day she summoned you."

"In addition to the [Cook Man] given to you by the rules of the world, you should have also obtained a powerful inherent skill, the top basic attributes of humans, and this holy sword, but everything disappeared with the death of the goddess. You came into this world with nothing."

"It's not like you have nothing. At least this holy sword belonged to you in the beginning, but it was taken away. Don't blame me for not cooperating with you at the beginning. It's because if you hold this sword in your basic state, you will only be treated worse. In that case, you will not be able to complete the main quest."

There is really a goddess guiding me.
Lei Ye's confused mind couldn't help but fantasize a little. If he successfully got the guidance of the goddess, what kind of earth-shaking changes would happen in the five years in the other world? Maybe the world would still guide him and Buyadi to meet in the Demon King's Castle, but what kind of ending would such an encounter lead to?

It’s hard to imagine that Lei Ye had given up on being Long Aotian a long time ago.

The Holy Sword's last words made him a little concerned, and he couldn't help but ask softly.

"Main quest? Is there a main quest? Is it to kill the demon king?"

The purpose of a hero's existence is to kill the devil and save the world.

but--

"The Demon King is not important. What's important is that skill, Quick Save. This skill is too dangerous. If someone gets it, it is very likely that the whole world will fall into an infinite loop. And you, as a hero summoned to this world, have the sole purpose of destroying this skill."

"Destroy. Skill? Are you kidding me?"

Lei Ye was becoming more and more confused.

"I know what you mean. Once the holder of this skill is killed, time will immediately return to the save point set by the holder. Therefore, killing the holder is meaningless. The only way for this skill to be destroyed is to disappear with the holder's natural death, like a bonfire burning out."

"So you are the hero. The goddess believes that this skill is safest when held by a short-lived creature with a moral value above the critical point of 50. Therefore, you were chosen."

The radio came on.

There was a loud noise over there, and amid the chaos, Lei Ye could barely catch what Buyadi was saying.

"Leiya, help me."

This was the first time Lei Ye heard Buyadi's voice, and he immediately believed what had been saved three hundred times. The voice sounded tired and painful, completely different from the voice he heard from Buyadi in the last save.

Moreover, this seemed to be the first time that Buyadi showed weakness to him as a demon king.

Behind him, the inorganic whisper of the holy sword was heard.

"A farmer chosen from a village, a warrior rented from the mercenary market, an illegitimate princess abandoned by the power field. This ragtag team of heroes, except for the real core, all others are replaceable."

"They are insignificant cogs, put together to serve a single mission."

"——From the beginning to the end, the purpose of this team's existence is to send you to the scorched earth at the right time."
