Magical girl? She got tricked into this!

"My name is Ruby, and her name is Beth. We are both adamantium-level adventurers. We originally wanted to go to Sand Sea City, but we encountered a storm in this desert and lost our way."

What Ando Meiko said was not false at all. After she and Beth separated from the Wind and Fire Two-Headed Dragon, they had the misfortune to encounter a sandstorm. Although they successfully avoided it with the help of Ando Meiko's methods, they also lost their sense of direction.

The name she used when introducing herself was the signature on the adventurer's ID card. The only thing she concealed was that they were from the Soul-Sorrow City in Lance Country.

However, having saved his life before, the caravan leader immediately believed Ando Meiko's words, especially after hearing the words "Platinum-level adventurer", his face suddenly showed ecstasy.

"Dear adventurer, we are planning to go to Shahai City for trade. If you don't mind, we would like to give you a ride."

Hiring a platinum-level adventurer is very expensive, and getting a platinum-level adventurer to accept guard commissions is even more difficult.

The adventurers hired by a caravan of moderate size like theirs are already at the white bronze level, and their leader is even at the mithril level.

But even so, they almost died in this desert. You can imagine how dangerous it is. Now they can get the protection of two Platinum-level adventurers at no cost, which is definitely the safest guarantee.

The businessman is worthy of being a businessman. His calculations were very accurate. He did not directly tell Ando Meiko the specific location of Shahai City, but openly invited the two of them, just to test their attitude.

"Well, I can go with you and save you the trouble of traveling." Ando Meiko was still thinking about how to ask the other party to go together. Since the other party had already expressed their attitude, she was naturally happy to follow the leader's attitude and accept it.

Both of them had their own little thoughts, but since their respective interests did not conflict, they hit it off immediately and made the decision immediately.

The team leader said that he would arrange another spacious truck for Ando Meiko and the other two, but Ando Meiko and the other two refused. They chose to sit in the same truck that the adventurers had just ridden.

Because of the sudden attack of the sandworms, half of the original eight adventurers died at once, so even if Ando Meiko and the other two came up, there was still plenty of space.

Although the adventurers were depressed about the death of their companions, this depression was greatly alleviated by the addition of two powerful and beautiful girls, Ando Meiko.

In fact, rather than mourning for their companions, they feel more grateful to be alive.

Meiko Ando and Beth are one cheerful and one cold, and their personalities form a strong contrast. However, because the former does not put on airs, she also wins the unanimous favor of the adventure team members.

During the conversation, the adventure team members told almost everything they knew about the Sand Sea City, and Ando Meiko remembered it firmly in her mind.

The Sand Sea City was originally the territory of the Demon Clan, but was later captured and occupied by the Potter Kingdom. Because there was a large desert separating them, the Demon Clan did not bother to send troops to take it back, and the city naturally became the property of the Potter Kingdom.

Later, this great magical country invested a lot of resources in the development of Shahai City. As a frontline city against the demons, it has now grown to a considerable size.

Due to food shortages in the desert, many rebellious monsters will appear and prey on humans and rob goods.

In exchange for a ride, Ando Meiko and the others did help when the caravan was attacked by monsters. Of course, it was not Ando Meiko who helped but the cold-looking Beth.

After seeing Beth's strength with their own eyes, all the people were in awe. They didn't expect that this cheerful and beautiful girl was so strong, and this cold and beautiful girl was no less powerful.

Facing level three or even level four monsters, the battle seemed effortless, which made this Mithril-level adventurer have to sigh at the powerful strength of the Platinum-level.

With the protection of these two people, the caravan moved forward with greater confidence. The city that originally took a day and a half to reach was now reached in one day, saving half a day.

When entering the city, with the guidance and guarantee of the caravan leader, Ando Meiko and the others were allowed to enter the Shahai City with the caravan without much inspection.

The moment she passed through the city gate and entered the city and saw the scenery inside, Ando Meiko was stunned.

Shahai City is a city built in the desert. According to normal thinking, shouldn’t this place be dominated by ochre-colored buildings used for insulation?

But here there are magic-powered means of transportation, magic-powered lighting technology for signboards and store signs, and even rifles hanging on the shoulders of soldiers patrolling the city.

This place doesn't look like the Middle Ages at all, it has completely entered the steam age. Even the Soul-Sorrow City, which is one of the top cities in Lance, looks like a slum in front of it.

The so-called Magic Kingdom is not a country famous for making magical weapons, but a superpower that truly integrates magical technology into life.

Such a shocking scene made Meiko Ando stand in awe.

Volume 7: A Fantastic Journey to Another World: Chapter 58: A Fairy Tale Book

No matter how surprised she was inside, Ando Meiko did not reveal her thoughts on her face. In front of the adventurer, she still had a smile on her face, showing no surprise or joy.

Anyone from any country would be extremely surprised and shocked when coming here for the first time, but Ando Meiko's calmness attracted the attention of other adventurers.

"Isn't this Sister Ruby's first time in this Sand Sea City?" The one who called her was the only female in the team, and also a gold-attribute auxiliary magician. She was best at helping teammates cast various defensive magics.

The reason why their captain was able to withstand the strongest attack of the sandworm head-on was because of the defensive magic she had attached to her, so her status in the team was not low at all.

Meiko Ando's mind raced for a moment, considering whether to keep this a secret. But in the end, she didn't answer the question. Instead, she asked, "What about you? Is this your first time here?"

"Of course not. Although we are not from here, we often take on commissions to travel through the desert because the rewards for such commissions are generally three times higher than those for ordinary escort commissions." The girl excitedly explained to Ando Meiko, even forgetting the previous question.

When the caravan arrived at its final destination, Meiko Ando said goodbye to the caravan leader and everyone in the adventure group, then left with Beth.

The exotic customs are indeed worth appreciating. After all, An Teng Meizi was driven here by the country of Lans, and has not yet figured out what she needs to do in the country of Potter.

All in all, we still need to collect intelligence, but there is no rush about this matter. The most important thing is to have a good stroll around the Sand Sea City with Beth.

The cities of Potter Country are very unique, with civilian magic technology everywhere. Even the refrigerators and the burning furnaces in Anten Meizi's world are reproduced with magic technology and use the magic cores of Warcraft as energy.

The level of technological development in this country is like a dream. At least when she was in Lans, Meiko Anten had never imagined that magic weapons could be used as technology in people's livelihood.

After entering the Adventurer's Guild in the Sand Sea City, Meiko Anten and Beth signed in at the city, and then asked the counter specialist in charge of them for some information.

It is worth mentioning that the counter specialist had clearly stated what happened in Soul-Shroud City, but there was no warrant for their arrest in the Adventurer's Guild.

In other words, they gained the first pass through the dungeon in Soul-Shroud City, were mistaken for demons, and were hunted by so many adventurers and Soul-Shroud City soldiers, but they were not wanted?

Thinking of this, Meiko Anten couldn't help but fall into deep thought, thinking about the reason why she was let off.

The first point is the reason on the side of the imperial city. The hero summoning array is not the patent of Lans Country, but no one has succeeded in decades. Only Lans Country summoned the hero An Teng Meizi.

This matter spread from the Imperial City, and by the time An Teng Meizi arrived at Soul City, it was no longer a secret. Perhaps it was because the Imperial City did not want the heroes of their country to be used by other countries that they concealed this news.

The second reason is the dragon clan. After Anten Meizi was rescued by the wind and fire two-headed dragon and Beth, she could hear the group of adventurers constantly shouting words like dragon clan and dragon clan.

When the wind and fire two-headed dragon was carrying them flying, Xiaoqing and Xiaohong kept inviting her and Beth to visit the dragon clan, further explaining the two-headed dragon's dragon identity.

Combined with what Beth had told her before, that the dragon clan had a very high status in the continent, it was not difficult for Anten Meizi to suspect that she had also been mistaken for a member of the dragon clan, so the people of Lance Country did not dare to attack her.

But this is also a good thing. Although An Teng Meizi is not afraid of others causing trouble, she would like to avoid trouble if possible. After all, no one likes trouble.

After receiving this news, the two came to the bookstore in Porter City, where there were a large number of books for rent, many of which were about the history of the continent, but Meiko Anten had no interest in understanding this world at all.

She looked around but didn't find the book she wanted... It should be said that she couldn't understand any of the words in this world. As for Beth, they had already separated and went to the second floor of the bookstore to check.

The bookstore clerk saw her wandering in front of the bookshelves in deep thought. He left the front desk and walked over to Anten Meiko and asked kindly, "I wonder what book you are looking for, sir?"

"I've read about the continent's history and am particularly interested in the summoning of heroes. I wonder if your store sells any books on this subject?"

The clerk smiled and said, "Of course we don't have it here. The summoning of heroes is the most important secret of all countries. Even the history of the continent only mentions it casually. If you really want to know more, you can only go to the library of the nobility or the imperial city."

The clerk said this half-jokingly, but she didn't expect the girl in front of her to nod thoughtfully, as if saying, "You're right, I'll go take a look over there."

"Guest, I was just joking. Are you really planning to go to the Imperial City to read?"

"Of course not. I was just wondering if you've ever seen this since there are no books about heroes." Yako Anten pretended to put her hand into her pocket, but actually took out the stone ball from her personal storage space.

That was what she got after passing the ninth level of the Soul-Sorrow Underground. It was the much-talked-about mythical treasure, the piece of useless stone engraved with strange words that did not respond to any means.

"Can I have a look at it?" The clerk frowned. Her action of not refusing immediately but asking for a closer look caught Anten Meiko's attention.

"Of course." Meiko Anten readily handed the stone ball to the clerk.

The clerk took it and examined it carefully. After about five minutes, an idea suddenly occurred to her. She patted her head, turned around and walked to the front desk to rummage through the drawers and finally found a book with pictures.

It was an illustrated fairy tale book, and on it was a stone with the same inscription as the one on the stone ball that Anten Meiko had.

"Sir, is this what you're talking about? Although this is just a children's book, I think your stone should be based on the toys in it."

Meiko Anten bought the fairy tale book without hesitation, and after buying a few books that Beth brought down from the second floor, the two of them left the bookstore.

We found a quiet tea shop that we passed by while shopping, walked into the shop, ordered two cups of scented tea, sat down side by side and piled the books we had just bought aside.

Volume 7: A Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 59: The First Hero

Meiko Ando only bought that fairy tale book, while Beth mostly selected the human history of the entire race. It is said that history is written by the victors. This era is far from being as peaceful as Meiko Ando's world, so many contents in history books are not true and are for reference only.

But since it is a historical record, the overall framework is naturally not too bad. Knowing some true or false content can roughly infer other things, which is better than knowing nothing.

While sipping tea and eating cakes, the two of them looked at the books they had chosen, and remained silent for a while without saying anything.

Although Meiko Ando cannot understand the words of this world, the fairy tale book in her hand has many illustrations, and she can also read a lot of content from the illustrations, although it is not so comprehensive.

The two of them sat there motionless for the entire day. Only when the shop owner came to tell them that the shop was closing did they pack up their books and leave.

As they walked towards the hotel, Ando Meiko could hear Beth sighing all the way, which made her curious: "Beth, what's wrong? Why do you look so sad? This is not like you at all."

Beth lamented, "Nothing. I just wanted to help you find some information about the Hero's Summoning. But I've looked through the entire Hero's Tale and the History of the Human Continent, and all I've seen are brief mentions of similar topics. Furthermore, the Hero's Tale ends with the hero and the princess living happily ever after."

"It does feel like a fairy tale, but I think you should help me look at my book."

"That fairy tale book?" Beth asked with a raised eyebrow.

In fact, when Ando Meiko was flipping through the book, she also took the time to glance at it a few times, but because the narration was too childish, she thought that maybe the former just bought it because of the pictures in it, so she ignored it.

"Yeah, I looked at it for a long time, but just looking at the pictures is useless. I can't even connect the story."

"Okay, I'll help you check it out when we get to the hotel." Beth agreed happily, and then added, "It's also good as a bedtime story. My mom used to tell me stories before I went to sleep..."

At this point, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird and sad. Beth suddenly fell silent, and Ando Meiko wanted to say something comforting, but she felt that it would be too abrupt to say anything at this time. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.

In this extremely torturous atmosphere, the two finally arrived at the hotel and rented a nice room. Although the expenses were higher than those in Soul City, with the existence of magical technology, the quality of life was greatly improved.

The first thing I have to say is that each room is equipped with an independent bathroom, and there is a bathtub and a shower in the bathroom. By activating the fire and water magic circle, hot water can be sprayed from the shower.

Not only that, the wind-attribute magic circle next to it can even adjust and lower the temperature of the hot water. Everything is perfect.

When Meiko Ando reluctantly walked out of the bathroom, she recalled the times when she basically took cold showers in this world, or simply wiped her body with a towel, and she could hardly hold back her tears.

Hearing Ando Meiko's praise for the Potter Country, Beth looked bewildered for a moment, then explained, "The Legend of the Brave says that the technology of the Potter Country is actually closely related to the first generation of heroes. It's the result of the heroes incorporating ideas and concepts from their own world into magical weapons."

Ando Meiko suddenly realized: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this? Shower heads, bathtubs, water heaters, gas furnaces, billboards, don't these all exist in my world... I see, that explains it."

However, in this case, the reason why other countries are so backward becomes a mystery. It is impossible that Potter Country alone is monopolizing technology, right?

"Although I hate humans, I'm still amazed by the magical technology of Potter Country." Beth didn't hesitate to express her admiration. She turned back to look at Ando Meiko and said, "You want to listen to me read fairy tales? Then lie down."

"Okay." Meiko Ando used a hair dryer to dry the moisture on her hair, then took off her robe, untied all the restraints on her body, and then lay down on the bed and covered herself with the quilt.

Beth knew that Meiko Ando liked to sleep naked in a hotel room, but every time she saw her taking off everything in front of her, she could never get used to it and her pretty face would blush every time she saw it.

Because her body is so perfect. Not only does every part of her body have a golden ratio, she also has proud assets and well-proportioned lines. Her skin is like a freshly peeled boiled egg, white, tender and smooth without a trace of flaw.

Even though Beth was very self-aware and thought she was perfect enough, she still felt a little pale in comparison to Ando Meiko and had to admit defeat.

She had often imagined how comfortable and wonderful it would be if she could hold her as a pillow and fall asleep.

She shook her head to get rid of the shy thoughts in her head. Seeing that Ando Meiko was already lying down, she read the fairy tale in the book bit by bit.

According to legend, the world was originally a chaos. After countless years, a wisp of consciousness was born from this chaos. This consciousness felt that the surroundings were too dark, so it used the chaos to create space.

Although she had the space, she still felt it was too dark, so she spent countless years creating mountains, rivers, plants, sun, moon and stars in the space. Now the whole world was lit up.

The chaotic consciousness felt very happy because the surroundings were no longer dark, but after looking for a long time, she also felt bored because the things in the space did not change at all and remained the same no matter how long she looked.

So she created time so that all things could undergo their own changes. From then on, the sun and the moon would rotate, the mountains and rivers would change, the grass and trees would grow, and the illuminated world would become wonderful again.

But this excitement only lasted for a while, and the chaotic consciousness became bored again, because all things grew according to their own laws, and she could not intervene and could only watch, and the plants could not move or communicate.

So he spent countless years taking out the contents of his body and shaping animals, one male and one female, of different appearances, forms, and states, and placed what he created into space.

These creatures reproduced on their own, and their population grew larger and larger. The Chaos Consciousness was very happy to see this, because there was life in the wonderful world.

But creating living creatures took up too much of her energy and content, so she was tired, and it wasn't long before the chaotic consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

Volume 7: Strange Journey to Another World: Chapter 60: Who is Ruby?

Beth paused here, and she pricked up her fox ears and twitched them smartly. She raised her head when she heard the sound of gentle breathing.

Meiko Anten fell into a deep sleep just like the chaotic consciousness described in the story. She did not continue telling the story, closed the fairy tale book and put it on the bedside table, then leaned over and gently kissed Meiko Anten on the forehead.

When she made this move, her heartbeat began to accelerate "bang bang bang". When she saw that Anten Meiko did not wake up, the blush on her cute face disappeared.

She did this just on a whim to imitate what her mother had done to her before, but even she herself didn't expect her reaction to be so strong.

At this time, she sat back in the chair, holding her slightly hot face, staring at the pretty face of An Teng Meizi who was sleeping soundly, with a touching smile on the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, she no longer had the aura of remaining calm in the face of the army of monsters. She was just like a girl who was deeply in love.

The next day, Meiko Anten did not continue reading. She put all the books back into the storage space and went out again.

Having visited all the places she wanted to go yesterday, Meiko Anten stood on the spacious street and looked up at the most magnificent building in the middle of the city.

According to the information she had learned yesterday, this building was the mansion of the Shahai City Lord, and it was also the most heavily defended place in the entire Shahai City.

Beth followed her gaze and looked forward. She looked at An Teng Meizi in confusion: "Why are you looking at the City Lord's Mansion with such expectation?"

Meiko Anten smiled and told about her conversation with the bookstore clerk yesterday.
