Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"Speaking of which, this is my first time participating in such a formal festival."

Roland took a fried potato ball and handed it to Esther next to him.

During the day, Orario was rarely crowded with people. During this festive moment, even the adventurers didn't mind giving themselves a day's rest.

The streets spreading out with the arena as the center have been overwhelmed by the flow of people like ants. Even ordinary people have smiles on their faces. There are stalls set up by merchants who have heard the news. Various races are mixed in, and there is a good smell everywhere.

In a slightly larger place, there are minstrels who tell legends, and troupes who perform acrobatics and draw bursts of applause. These are the best people attractors. The main street of Orario can accommodate several carriages. We moved forward at the same time, but at this moment, we were still squeezed into an extremely narrow space by the crowded flow of people.

"If there's a riot, it'll be all over."

After biting into a fried potato ball that he had wanted to try before, Roland sighed in surprise.

"It's actually quite delicious."

Under the crispy skin is a texture as dense as quicksand, and there are fillings. As one of Orario's cheapest popular snacks, with such a taste, Roland doesn't know what to complain about the technology tree here. .

"Jun Luo Lan, even if you, as a hero, say such disappointing things, you will be glared at."

Hestia looked at the bustling street in front of her with her head held high, "This bustling and interesting scene is the reason why I waited for the gods to come from the lower world."

Early this morning, Hestia angrily pulled Roland out and asked to go on a date together. Normally Roland would have to go to the dungeon, and his rare vacation was also occupied by the guild's entrustment , resulting in the two of them spending a lot less time together.

The only good thing is that Hestia has her own business to attend to.

"The guild doesn't know what it is doing. It has given orders to all the adventurers on the front line. Even gods like us who have powerful families have to hold a small meeting alone."

Thinking of the rare time alone with Roland that was interrupted, Hestia bit the straw in her hand and drank the juice in the cup casually.

Although even without this incident, they would not be able to talk about their world. Esther, who saw this kind of festival for the first time, also blinked his clear eyes and stared at the fried potatoes in his hand as if they were about to shine. The ball was eaten in small bites.

Compared to her as a god, Esther and Roland's relationship is more inseparable. However, although Hestia is slightly dissatisfied, she is not angry with such a pure fairy. She can be with Roland in this place. She was very happy when she was free to wander around in the morning.

Roland reached out his hand, wiped away the residue from the corner of Esther's mouth, and said coldly.

"After all, this matter is very serious. You really won't know if you don't check it. So many people in Orario have already shown symptoms of infection. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as a bomb. Starting to take precautions now will inevitably feel like making up for the situation after the situation has been solved. "

"Is it that serious?"

Hestia looked at Roland in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

"Although this virus seems to have appeared for the first time, we will find preventive measures sooner or later. Although other people may be far inferior to you, the wisdom of the children and gods in the lower world cannot be underestimated."

"Well... let's just treat it like this."

If it is just a simple epidemic, Roland has no doubt that the gods in the wrong world have the ability to solve it. The various crooked technology trees here and the greatly improved productivity are the best proof.

However, the Apocalypse Virus is not such a simple thing. It is more aimed at changes in life forms. It can even be said to be a shortcut on the road to evolution. In this innate era and cognitive gap, this thing is definitely not It's so easy to deal with, but when these people discovered the key, they didn't know how long it would take.

Thinking about it this way, the guild is still very reliable. It has a deep understanding of the key factor of solving the problem first if it cannot solve the problem. Loki and other gods must have thought of this before agreeing to the decision of the Great Expedition.

However, for Hestia, who has been staying at home for too long and whose intelligence has seriously declined, it may take a little more effort to understand this. Fortunately, I won't tell her first and let the gods explain it to her. Bar.

Roland's face showed a very gentle and refreshing expression, but Hestia felt that there was some bad emotion in the corners of Roland's pursed lips.

She glanced at Roland suspiciously, but did not continue to ask. Instead, she drank juice and enjoyed this beautiful world.

Although there is still some time before the official start of the Monster Festival, the expectations and enthusiasm of the people can no longer be concealed. Everyone feels extremely proud and believes that they are living in the best era and can freely meet the gods in the heavens. ,chat.

In the past era, monsters ravaged the land, and people could not survive once they lost the leadership of heroes. But now, without receiving favors, they can still judge the monsters locked in cages. This contrast will make people extremely uncomfortable. A great sense of security and enthusiasm, it is not surprising to have such enthusiasm.

If you really plan to cause trouble, this should be the time. However, even for the Queen of Viruses, the Apocalypse virus has not accumulated as long as the original work. Judging from the data of infected people that the guild has checked in the past few days, if you want to reproduce The scale of the original Lost Christmas that spreads all over the world, always feels like it's still a little short of the mark.

Although the Ganesha Familia is unreliable, if they are prepared, there should not be such a commotion that would cause the monster to be released again. Even Freya will not cause trouble this time.

"Don't worry, Mr. Roland. Although you are called a hero, don't really think of yourself as someone who is responsible for the survival of mankind on your own. Children who insist on going their own way often go astray."

Just as Roland was deep in thought, Hestia suddenly poked his waist and showed an energetic smile.

"If anything happens, we gods will shoulder it. Now, just go and enjoy the festival happily!"

Looking at Hestia's pure and lovely face, although she was a little clumsy and could not understand Roland's real thoughts, this goddess was indeed encouraging Roland in her own way.

"Really? Then you should work hard at the meeting, and I will come to pick you up later."

Roland patted Hestia's head helplessly, and slowly left the guild's gate under the reluctant gaze of the goddess who suddenly wilted.

After walking out, looking at the street full of excitement and noise, Roland also felt like he was in another world.

There are stalls in the middle of the road, decorated with ribbons and flowers, and the street looks full of atmosphere. There are also flags connected in series above the heads of passers-by. There are silhouettes of the Ganesha family and monsters on the flags. One is an elephant head, the other is a lion. Under the bright sunshine, everything looks so peaceful.

Although he has been in this city for ten days, he has never done anything to simply appreciate Orario as a tourist.

"Well, before that, let's enjoy the festival first. Esther has never visited a place like this, right?"

Just like that, holding Esther's small and soft hand, Roland walked into the noisy crowd.

——

"Damn monster!"

The beast tamer of the Ganesha Familia grabbed the monster in front of him angrily, threw it to the side of the cell, and cuffed it with chains.

"What's wrong?"

Soon, someone heard the noise and rushed over. In order to prevent monsters from escaping and causing commotion in the cell of the Ganesha family, the guild specially mobilized a group of high-level adventurers to stay in Ganesha. Outside the Sa family clan.

Although in the eyes of the members of the Ganesha family, this is a bit unnecessary.

In addition to the animal trainers in each cell, they also have high-level adventurers waiting at the exit. They are all lv3 and even lv4 elites. It is really overkill to deal with these monsters that are only lv2 at most, even if they are only lv2. He himself will not be defeated by these monsters.

"It's okay, this disobedient thing got restless again and just hurt me."

The animal trainer waved his hand casually, showing the claw marks and blood stains on his hands to his companions.

"Then it seems like it's no longer useful. Let's just put him in the beast-fighting session after the beast-taming."

"Let me try again. This guy was very obedient when he first came here. I don't know what went wrong today."

The tamer is still a little unwilling. This monster has good strength in level 2. The most important thing is that it is surprisingly easy to tame. When it first came, it seemed as if it had been drained by something, and it looked depressed. , quickly became compliant, and he even pointed at this monster to make a splash at the festival.

"Then be careful yourself."

Seeing that nothing happened, the guard nodded and left, leaving the animal trainer alone.

The animal tamer took out the medicine bottle next to him with a look of displeasure, poured a little on the wound, and once again devoted himself to the great cause of taming.

Under the numbing sensation of the drug, he never noticed that purple crystals were slowly emerging from the wound at an alarming speed and gradually spreading.

——

"Sword Hero, please try it."

Sitting in the rich hostess tavern, the smiling Xier held a piece of cake, placed it in front of Roland, and then sat leisurely opposite him.

"This is a special cake that will be sold tonight. This is the only one I made by myself."

"Hmm...it's okay to help taste it, but you guys are going to attend the festival, I guess."

Roland looked at Xi'er in front of him. She was not dressed like a maid in the tavern today, but was wearing regular clothes.

Facing Roland's gaze, Xi'er stretched out without shyness. Her exquisite figure, outlined by clothes as soft as silk and like a sailor suit, showed a charm far beyond her age, as if she was basking in the sun. The cat was just as elegant and lazy. He waited until it finished stretching and then said calmly.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, we have to prepare the store before we can take the holiday. We still have a while."

During a festival like today, most of the pubs that are always open all year round are closed, and they are ready to save their energy until nightfall before opening to harvest the festival's fat sheep. The hostess of the abundance is no exception. She prepares everything before opening. After some preparations, these clerks can go and enjoy their vacation.

After hearing such words, Liu also came over and served Roland a cup of black tea.

"Please don't mind. Xi'er has been looking forward to talking to you again for a long time."

"Sister Liu!"

Facing the girl's shy smile, Lyu just smiled lightly and left with steady steps.

Roland also casually picked up a piece of cake, put it into Esther's mouth, and looked at Xi'er with some fun.

"So, what do you want from me?"

Hearing such straightforward words, Xier stood up nervously, then bowed in Roland's direction.

"I'm really sorry for what happened last time. It was because of me that you got entangled with that garbage. I've been thinking about how to apologize."

What is Freya doing? Is she getting involved in role-playing?

Roland was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to remember what happened last time. But before he could speak, Xier hurriedly came over with a book in his arms and pushed it in front of Roland.

"Is this a magic book?"

Roland gently stroked the book cover, feeling the strange fluctuations on it, and spoke.

"Yes, this is something that was given to me by a guest a long time ago for me to handle on my own, but I knew that I didn't have the qualifications to be an adventurer, so I kept it away until you appeared and made me understand who it was. He is its true owner.”

Xi'er said righteously, with an expectant look, as if she didn't know the value of this thing at all.

The magic books in the dungeon world are almost all disposable items. People who have read the magic books will naturally acquire them even if they do not have magic. But then the magic books will lose their original power and become useless. Paper.

Every magic book is a prop that is better than first-level equipment. Ordinary families can't get one even if they spend all their money.

Roland does not lack the financial resources to buy this thing, but he just has no idea about it.

After all, there is nothing he can't learn from the magic in the Earthly World, and he doesn't think it can work on him. Although there is no limit to the number of magic slots for Roland, why bother putting a spell out in the eyes? ?

However, since someone took the initiative to send it to his door, he remembered something.

During the official upgrade a few days ago, Roland gained unexpected development abilities, which were beyond grace and a gift from the world itself when unity was formed through constant approaching balance.

The native magic system of the Dicuo world can be said to be a mess, and it is incomparable to the magic obtained from favors. This can also be said to have directly led to the fact that no one in Dicuo seems to study magic. In the complete realm of gods, the magic of truly powerful people is the embodiment of their possibilities and potentials. Counting them all together, He Xingyue's Noble Phantasm is very resemblance.

If the world's gift of possibility is that kind of vision, then can the so-called magic of developing possibility help you understand this power more deeply?

"Really? Then I would be disrespectful."

With this question in mind, under Xi'er's surprised gaze, Roland did not hesitate and gently opened the book in front of him. The next moment, unprecedented light penetrated his field of vision.

In just a short moment, he seemed to be standing directly from a higher angle, overlooking everything in the world and a clearer version of himself.

Fire, darkness, malice, chaos, countless paths lie in front of Roland, just waiting for him to reach out and turn this possibility into exploitable power.

But Roland just looked at the farthest path in front of him silently. This path did not come from his power or his personality, but from the essence that was opened by grace and released.
