Little Tyrant Doesn’t Want to Meet with a Bad End

A month later, on the eastern border of St. Meister, on a road with some light snow in winter, a well-trained team was slowly moving forward. Inside the wide carriage, a black-haired teenager was a rare find. He was flipping through the books at a steady time, while across from him, the red-haired man was closing his eyes.

Two men sitting in the same carriage, such a scene may seem quite strange to the nobles of the church, but in this month, Roja has become accustomed to it, and even occasionally sleeps here.

The interior space of the carriage carrying the two people is large, but it is not exquisite. It cannot be compared with the car that Roja used when he was at Akate's house, not to mention the Soofia's gem necklace team that the teenager had the honor to experience, but that's how it is. The reason is very simple, because this wide carriage with tables, chairs and bookcases is the headquarters of Roja's team.

There must only be one core at the core of a team. This is the consensus reached between Roja, who has never been to the east, and Earl Hanks, the head of the inquisition, before this journey, and this command car is prepared for this. , but what the two of them didn't expect was that the car they originally thought was just to prevent accidents would actually become the permanent place for the two of them.

Overall, the journey was not uneventful.

A month ago, when the team just set off, because they were worried about Noelle and their position, Roja and Hanks almost always took the road as the first priority, and the team went smoothly, but with the As time passed, some unexpected troubles began to increase.

The first is the situation that Katya once learned for Roja - can't find the way.

Katya has been in the post of logistics general manager for five years. The most important job is to repair the road. It must be emphasized that the road has been repaired, but it is not a masonry road, but a dirt road.

Why not build a masonry road with higher durability and better transportation efficiency, this matter is actually very easy to understand. To put it bluntly, the amount of work is too large, and there is no money or time. The most important thing is that there are no businessmen passing by without profit. , and it is easy for humans to walk after repairing the road, and it is also easy for aliens to go. If the level is broken, humans can exchange time for distance. If the road is repaired, then the devil will directly enter the village.

Of course, there are also problems such as masonry roads that need to be maintained, and maintenance costs are too high. In short, considering various reasons, this road can only be built as a dirt road, and such a simple road has an unavoidable problem, that is, it is affected by climate and Severe environmental impact.

Whether it is heavy rain in summer or heavy snow in winter, the traces of the road will be temporarily erased, and even in autumn, a foot of deep leaves will make the road difficult to distinguish.

Due to the fact that he learned about this situation in advance by chatting with Katya, Roja specially flipped through the system and found a good item.

【Track Detector】

[The curse invented by the superhumans of the Kingdom of Ella to break through the blockade of the Nightmare Forest. With its help, those chaotic trees can no longer disturb people's sight]

[Price: 50,000 points]

When he saw this object similar to the structure of single-sided glasses, Roja bought it almost conditioned reflexively. In order to be safe, he also borrowed the map when Kadia was repairing the road, and it was with these equipment, The team was able to move forward smoothly.

For Roja's foresight, Hanks and others in the court were ashamed, but no one thought that this was just the beginning.

Since going deep into the east, as towns and villages have become rarer, the level of activation of monsters in the forest has become higher and higher. After entering the endless unmanned area, the monsters in the forest have a tendency to gather in groups.

The monsters in the east are not afraid of people, and they are ferocious. Once they target their prey, they will follow them for a long time.

In winter, not only humans need to store food, but monsters also need to accumulate rations. Roja's team is the elite of human beings, but in the eyes of monsters who have basically never seen humans, they are regarded as migrating monkeys and are frequently attacked.

For more than a week, Roja and the others hardly slept peacefully. The six-legged bloodthirsty giant deer, the two-faced hyena, and all kinds of strange ghosts rushed out at night, Fight in the dark with the human team.

In the face of this situation, the unified command of Roja and Hanks played a role. The two teams who had no communication before fought side by side under the unified command. Both sides were awkward at first, but under external pressure, The pagans and the judges have gradually learned to cooperate during the run-in, and the combat effectiveness has greatly increased, and the atmosphere of the team has also been greatly improved.

The Perseverance sect has traveled abroad for many years as a mercenary, and the Strength sect has been forced into the mountains to become a savage. Both sides have rich field experience and are very good at dealing with monsters, while the team of judges has rich experience in fighting against people.

One is good at pve and the other is specialized in pvp. The two sides can be said to complement each other perfectly. After the initial training, the team has indeed experienced a period of stability. However, as the distance from the Tucker fortress is getting closer and closer, a nightmare has quietly crept in. to.

That was when the pagan legion and the judges joined forces to spend another night of being attacked by monsters. The early morning team marched forward in laughter and relaxation, and when a team was sent to explore the canyon ahead, they suddenly encountered an ambush.

Arrows suddenly fell from the sky on both sides of the canyon, which caught the reconnaissance team by surprise. Then the strange magic made the road muddy and horses difficult to move. Finally, on the cliff, more than a dozen human-shaped monsters with green faces and fangs charged downward.

The aliens suddenly appeared in front of Roja's team. Their general strength was about source level 5, their bodies were white and blue, and their faces were similar and slightly different from humans. They had protruding teeth and a head.

The hair is sparse, and the face is hideous.

Although the members of the reconnaissance team were strong and well-equipped, they fought and retreated while insisting on fighting to join up with the large army to annihilate the remnants of the aliens, but the horror of being ambushed by the aliens and the strange appearance of the enemy remained in every place. In the hearts of individuals, with the unknown environment, many people feel fear.

After seeing the corpse of the dead alien, even Hanks, who had been silent and serious, changed his face, showing a natural fear of humanoids, but Roja was quite calm about it, because similar scenes were young have already seen.

The Legion of Redemption in the historical segment, although not so different from humans, its insane whispers are more terrifying than these terrifying xenomorphs.

"Why panic? If you are killed, you will die. What's there to be afraid of?"

The boy's calm and indifferent speech pointed out the key, and his calm appearance made many people in the team calm down. The reconnaissance team reported what happened, and Roja carefully observed the alien, the Shia human history. Natural enemy, the conclusion is that there is nothing to look at.

From a physical point of view, it is basically similar to the structure of ordinary human beings. He knows how to ambush and can use weapons. The strange cry should be the words of a different race, which shows that it has the ability to communicate.

In general, these aliens that Roja encountered are more in line with the official and Katya descriptions. They should be scattered enemies who crossed the mountains and mountains where no one was stationed on the front line. This is from their almost damaged clothes. can be seen.

The sudden attack of the aliens was an accident, but it also sounded the alarm for Roja and others, making the situation of the next road confusing in the eyes of everyone, and making everyone understand that this is not the gentle hometown of humans in the rear. , but a front line full of foreign enemies, and the entire team was further united as a result.

And it was also after the first attack that the frequency of these hideous monsters began to increase, and the number of people gradually increased, and Roja, a rare team with a small number of people, launched continuous attacks.

During the day, it was mostly calm, but at night, with the riots of monsters, the tactic of two-sided attack by aliens began to make the situation serious. It was also from then on that Roja, Hanks and others began to station in the command car. , and take control of the situation.

With a slight shaking, the black-haired boy quickly brushed a book in less than an hour, and then looked up at the window. At this time, the afterglow of the sunset had begun to gradually disappear, and night fell again, and the people in the marching team gradually gradually disappeared. Silent and vigilant, the scouts also began to leave in all directions.

"Who's coming tonight?"

The man's inquiries came from his ears, and Roja, who was looking out the window, couldn't help but turn his head, put down the book and glanced at Hanks, who opened his eyes, and after thinking for a while, the boy chose to go on the field to solve the problem.

"You were on the front line last night, so let me come today."

"...Are you going to break through? I can feel your breath is very close to Source Level 3."

"Maybe it is, but in my opinion commitment is more important and as a team leader I have to lead by example."

"..."

Looking at the boy who said this calmly, the red-haired man fell into silence, his expression did not change, but the green light on his head reflected his appreciation for Roja's words very well.

Favorability +100

Looking at the appearance of Earl Hanks, the appearance is completely invisible, and the favorability value hidden in the heart, Roja's face is also calm, but he is secretly happy in his heart.

I don't know how many times Roja has done it since he was a child. There are not 10,000 or 8,000 people who are green, but Earl Hanks is one of the most difficult to brush. It takes more than a month of training. It's only gradually getting down to three digits.

Roja wants to brush his favorability. Naturally, it's not that the teenager has any strange thoughts, but Roja's breakthrough needs Hanks' help and reminder to some extent.

As the head of the inquisition, Hanks' strength is source level 2, but his age is actually younger than Kadia. At this age, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a dragon and a phoenix. It is similar to him and Kadia. For a master like Dia, to break through the source level 3 must have some insight.

Simply put, Roja is greedy for the experience of others.

Traveling thousands of miles away from people, there is only such a master around Roja. If you want to take a shortcut, you can only take something out of his mouth. In the case of non-kinship and non-friendship, you can only brush your favorability. After a month of hard work, After accumulating the favorability level to four digits, Roja felt that the time seemed to be close.

"But when it comes to breakthroughs, I'm actually not in a hurry. After all... the recent progress has been a little rough."

Watching the busy scene of the team camping outside the window, the black-haired boy sighed in disappointment. Under the light of the setting sun, the boy muttered to himself:

"Although it always feels like a breakthrough, every time a critical moment comes, there will be a sense of emptiness, just like an empty shell in name only."

"..."

Roja said this, frowning as if thinking about the reason for this situation, but his eyes swiped to the side without a trace, and he saw that the expression of Director Hanks, whose expression did not fluctuate slightly, changed slightly. , his eyes flickered as if he was about to stop talking, and the pupils of the young man shrank suddenly upon seeing this.

There is a play!

The young man who found Mr. Earl's change was overjoyed, but his face was still full of confusion and sorrow, like a waiting

The young man whose senior pointed the way, he sighed, and said again as if talking:

"I won the Challenger Cup this time, and the outside world held me too high and regarded me as a representative of the Church, saying that I would break through soon, and saying that this was Shia's blessing, but this time, I'm afraid It's going to be disappointing, but I just hope it doesn't smear the country."

"Representative of the country", "Sia's blessing", Roja's words came into the ears of the red-haired man one after another, making Hanks, who was hesitant to speak, gradually look serious.

People who love the country do not want the country to lose face, and believers with firm beliefs do not allow gods to be despised. In the past, Roja's promotion was only a personal matter in the eyes of men, but now, it seems to be connected with something that cannot be compromised.

Hanks was a little anxious on this side, wondering if he should speak out to help the domestic upstart who led the pagans, while Roja on the other side narrowed his eyes sharply, feeling that it was time to close the net.

"Okay, don't say these depressing words, I won't wait for me to complain about the things outside, Lord Count, the command will be handed over to you tonight, please rest well, we who bathe in the brilliance of Shia, we can't lose to the alien species. A monster like a man."

"..."

The smiling young man put down his book, tidied his clothes, stood up and walked to the car door. He looked at the young man who was about to get out of the car, and his movements were not sloppy. The red-haired Earl who was in a hurry finally couldn't bear to speak.

"......and many more."

"Huh? Is there anything wrong with the count?"

"Just a little bit, let's talk."

The head of the court with a serious face said so, and called Roja to the front, the black-haired boy heard the words with doubts on his face, but joy in his heart.

Won!

-------------------------------------------------

Half an hour later, the black-haired boy got off the carriage under the darkness of night and walked silently to the reserve post on the front line, constantly recalling what Earl Hanks had said before.

"What you lack is the core of belief."

"The core of belief?"

"Yes, source level 3, you can climb up not by stacking strength, but the reverse influence of belief, or, in other words, active alienation."

"initiative......"

The boy who heard Hanks' experience had a vague feeling in his heart, and the red-haired man also said his summary without reservation.

According to Earl Hanks, each person's promotion to Source Level 3 is very different, but the only thing that remains the same is that the alienation of Source Level 3 is active, not the passive human body when absorbing magic energy. alienation, to do this, something special is needed, which is the so-called core of belief.

The core of belief is not a common belief such as the will to break through, but something more fundamental and rooted in the soul. This kind of thing cannot be seen or touched, but it is possible to step into a high-level supernatural being. The essential.

Because of this, some people break through the source level 3 very easily but don't know why, because they already have the key to open this door, and some people can't get in after wasting their lives, because they have touched the keyhole countless times, but they have taken it out. Nothing comes out.

"The Count, can you ask what the core of your belief is?"

"Faith and Justice."

In the face of Roja's somewhat presumptuous question, the director of the inquisition gave a firm answer, and the answer did not exceed the teenager's expectations, but Hanks, as a senior judge, had the sword of faith, and Roja was in charge. Several ancient gods were really not religious.

So what is a good way to figure out this problem, and Hanks also proposed a solution to this point.

"Many families will send their younger generations to come to me to experience during this period, hoping to gain something in the battle of life and death."

"Then, what's the result?"

"Some people succeed, some people fail."

"..."

Hearing this, Roja found that Hanks' face was a little more dignified and did not ask any more. In the battle of life and death, the successful person will naturally be able to advance, but the failure of the person can be imagined.

All night, Roja was thinking about what his core was. The young man had never experienced a lot in the moments between life and death, so he had some vague feelings, but there was a feeling that he couldn't grasp it by a piece of paper.

"Exactly, what is it?"

The black-haired boy stretched out his palm to Yinyue, and in the Xiongguan Fortress where the boy was the destination, the same movement was replicated on the blond girl's body.

In the freezing cold ice pool, a naked girl named Noelle was immersed in it, and the golden light that made people dare not look directly was flickering in her blue eyes, and when she raised it to the sky, In his hand, there was a letter from afar. The signed name reflected in the girl's eyes, hooking her heart like a thread implicated in the world.

"Roja..."
