Are you worthy of saving the world?

"Cecilia, why are you suddenly wearing a dress today? And you put on your makeup carefully. It's not like you're going to a social dance... Is it for little Yuli?"

After Safia asked this pointed question, Cecilia answered honestly.

"I just mentioned to the maid that I was going out with Yuri today, and they prepared this kind of clothes for me...

It’s very uncomfortable to wear something so light, and if they hadn’t said Yuri would like it, I wouldn’t have worn it.”

"That's it..."

Safia smiled helplessly: It seems that there is no progress at all. Our Princess Cecilia still has a long way to go before she can understand the relationship between men and women.

"I think Cecilia looks beautiful no matter what she wears." said the black-haired boy.

"Really? That's great, Yuri!"

Cecilia looked happy: "Then I'll change back into the knight uniform next time!"

Safia: ...Where did the straight man come from?

Yuri nodded continuously: "Yeah, the knight's uniform is pretty good."

Compared to the light and gorgeous dress, he preferred the absolute sensuality of Cecilia in black pantyhose.

"By the way, Cecilia, don't do this next time."

Safia said to Cecilia across Yuli.

"Boys like a sense of mystery and surprise. If you want to give a gift, you should choose it secretly and then surprise the other person."

However, Sword Princess showed a smug expression and puffed out her chest proudly.

"Huh~ Huh~ You underestimate me too much, Safia, even I know this kind of common sense.

Although we chose the gift together this time, but for your 15th birthday... Yuri, you should look forward to the "mysterious gift" I will give you! "

"Yeah, I'll be looking forward to it!"

Yuri said this in an extremely cheerful voice, glancing at Cecilia's round and perky buttocks.

Yuli had actually already guessed what the birthday surprise the girl had mysteriously promised him would be.

"Birthday? Little Yuli is about to become an adult." Safia suddenly became melancholy.

“Don’t sigh like an old man.” Yuli frowned, “Do you want me to be a little kid all my life?”

"But when little Yuri turns 15, that means the Lily Cross will be disbanded, right? We were originally formed to protect the underage Son of God."

Safia said faintly: "Alas... I feel like my son is growing up and is going to leave me."

"You're not my mother."

Yuli's complaint made Cecilia chuckle.

“Well, I can understand why Safia feels lonely, but I am mostly happy.

Because this also means that Yuri is no longer our object of protection, but a man who needs to protect the world and us, right?

Thinking of this...for some reason my heartbeat started to speed up, hehe."

"That's true. I'll leave everything to you, my savior." The blue-haired girl patted the boy's shoulder.

"Hey! Stop putting pressure on him!" the blonde girl said angrily.

Yuli suddenly felt that even if he became ten thousand times stronger, Cecilia would still regard herself as his protector.

"and……"

Cecilia clasped her hands together and murmured with longing: "Yuri's birthday also means that the Saint will come back, right?

I'm so looking forward to it. I haven't seen Lady Valkyrie for three years...

If the Saint Lady saw Yuri's recent growth, she would definitely be very happy!"

……

……

……

While chatting and laughing, the three of them entered the largest weapons store in the commercial street in the downtown area.

"Lady Safia, and this is... Her Highness Cecilia! Welcome!"

As soon as I walked in, the shop assistants showed me their extremely warm smiles.

Safia was a frequent visitor here, and Cecilia seemed to have accompanied her and other members of the Knights once.

They also immediately understood the identity of the black-haired boy surrounded by the two young ladies.

A female clerk covered her mouth and said, "Are you Lord Ulysses?"

"Feel honored, everyone... This sir is our son of prophecy, Ulysses Falchion!"

Safia introduced it loudly and passionately, with an exaggerated tone that made her sound like a lackey around a dandy boy.

The staff and scattered customers in the store all showed expressions of great emotion.

"Remember to give me a discount next time, you understand me?"

The blue-haired girl whispered stealthily to the man who looked like the store manager.

“Oh…of course, Master Safia.

I didn't expect to have the honor of receiving the Holy Son and Her Highness Sword Princess. There is no better publicity than this...!"

“Hehe, I’m glad you understand…Ah, little Yuri! Wait for me!”

Yuli left Safia, who was obsessed with money, and took Cecilia with him to start choosing weapons.

The layout of the weapons shop reminded Yuri of a small museum in his previous life. The lighted display glass cabinets were neatly arranged, displaying a dazzling array of weapons, many of which were rare items that had left their names in history.

As they walked through the aisles between the windows, Safia kept explaining things, literally taking over the clerk's job.

"Little Yuri, I recommend this Sword of the Judge.

Pay attention here, its biggest selling point is that it has the most perfect cross-shaped hilt, and the right angle is accurate to six decimal places. "

"The spiritual power amplified by this sacred shape filled with faith can reach twice that of other weapons of the same type.

It is said that one hundred and fifty years ago, a Paladin used it to kill a Gug giant! And it was not an ordinary kill, but a one-shot kill..."

"Yuli, is there anything you like?" Cecilia asked.

"Do you have weapons imported from Albion?"

Yuri held his chin up and looked around, then asked the nervous clerk at the back.

He felt that the weapons in front of him were not suitable for him now. What era was it in which he was still using traditional weapons?

Lacking technical skills, it was difficult for him to bring into full play the godly hands he had acquired from more than 5000 hours of gaming time in his previous life.

"I want a weapon that has some operational requirements," Yuli added.

The clerk was stunned for a moment and took him to a quiet corner of the store.

In this display case, a peculiarly shaped one-handed weapon stands quietly upright.

The swords in "Goddess Apocalypse" can be divided into more than a dozen types based on purpose, length, culture, etc., among which the mainstream ones are two major categories, namely double-edged sword/straight sword (Sword) and single-edged sword/saber (Saber).

The former can be considered as the practical evolution of the ritual sword. The pious cross shape and inlaid gems can give rise to a stronger power of faith.

The latter pursues the performance as a slashing weapon itself. The traditional double-sided sword blade is changed into a stronger single-edged sword, and the slender hilt is changed into an arc-shaped guard.

Obviously, the sword that appeared in front of everyone tended to be the latter. The curved narrow sword body reminded people of some kind of Oriental weapon.

"Hey, what a strange-looking sword..."

Cecilia murmured as she stared at the Albion saber in the window.

"It's clearly a single-edged sword, but the connection between the hilt and the blade is so huge and bloated, and the shape of the guard is also weird, open and tilted outwards?"

Yuli gestured to the clerk to take out the goods for him and explained to the blonde girl with a smile.

"This is not the jaw and the guard, this is the internal combustion mechanism and the trigger mounted on the sword."

Yuri knew the name of this weapon.

In the game, she is a special Easter egg weapon called "Blue Queen" that pays tribute to the original.

026 This is not a bug, this is a game easter egg (please read it later)

"The internal combustion engine mounted on the sword...?"

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Cecilia tilted her head in surprise: "Ah, you mean Albion's steam engine?"

Of course she knew about the steam engine, which was a mechanical device invented by the island nation of Albion.

In contrast to the magic technology used by magicians, this is a mechanical technology that uses the divine power to do work.

In recent years, the railways built on the Tiamat continent have been powered by steam engines produced in Albion.

At the beginning of the construction of the railway, strong opposition broke out in all parts of the three major countries.

The nobles believed that building railways would pollute the earth's veins and shake the foundation of migration, but these voices were soon drowned out by the overwhelming convenience brought by trains.

At the beginning, Cecilia was very resistant to this mechanical device that transferred energy through combustion.

She thought it was a blasphemy against the power of the great goddess, but after she actually took the train a few times...

However, shouldn't a steam engine be quite large?

"Not a steam engine, but an internal combustion engine."

Yuli shook his head and corrected him, “To put it simply, the internal combustion engine is the “old model” that was replaced by the steam engine.

Instead of absorbing the energy from the air to burn, it injects its own spiritual energy into the cylinder and achieves ultra-high efficiency through compression combustion.

Although it cannot absorb atmospheric spiritual energy like steam engines and will soon be eliminated, the advantage is that it can be miniaturized and even modified into weapons like this."

The technological development in "Apocalypse of the Goddess" is completely opposite to Yuri's previous life.

The first thing invented was the internal combustion engine, but it was soon replaced by the steam engine due to the narrow scope of spiritual power application.

In this world, there exists a gift from God called Yiyong, which is a truly endless and universal energy source.

Therefore, compared with the internal combustion engine with higher combustion efficiency, the steam engine, which can collect the migration surge in the air through its huge volume and has lower purity requirements, has gained a technical advantage.

Safia showed a surprised expression: "Little Yuri, you actually know about Albion's latest technology?"
