I don't want to be a heroic spirit

Maybe it’s because of the excessive beautification in the book, right? Just like many TV dramas that portray the action of smoking as cool and then let a bunch of children with no judgment learn to be bad.

By the way...she almost became one of these bad kids.

Because she thought smoking was very cool, she and her brother secretly tried it on her grandfather's cigarette. At first, they were just doing it, until her brother lit the cigarette in her mouth and let her take a puff in order to make it more realistic. She didn't choke to death.

Also because of the discomfort of being choked at that time, she became particularly sensitive to the smell of cigarettes after that, and she couldn't stand the slightest smell of cigarettes.

In addition to the group of one-shot bears they met at the beginning, Nero and the others later encountered many powerful monsters, all of which were high-level monsters that were very troublesome for novice adventurers like Axel.

The corpses of these monsters can be sold at a good price in the Adventurer's Guild. Nero doesn't need to move them. He just needs to notify the people in the guild to come over.

On the way back, Nero took out his adventurer card and read it.

"Alice, you seemed to have said you were upgraded, right?"

Nero knew that Alice's level was very high, and maybe no one in this world had a higher level than her.

When he sat in on Alice's class before, Nero learned that Alice's ancestors were brave men who once defeated the Demon King, and the blood of the brave men reached Alice in a very high concentration for some unknown reason. To put it simply, it was atavism. , so Alice can use the holy sword that is said to have been used by previous generations of heroes.

And from what Alice said, this holy sword seems to be called calibur.

…Isn’t that King Arthur’s Excalibur (sword of victory)? !

"Huh? Yes, I gained a level just now when I killed the last cannibal."

After hearing Nero's question, Alice raised her head, her eyes filled with dazzling light.

"It's more fulfilling to level up by defeating monsters than by eating high-end ingredients. My sister should have also leveled up, right? Because she has just become an adventurer, so her level is very low, right?"

After saying this, Alice seemed to realize that she had made some mistakes and added in a panic: "No, no, no! I'm not saying that my sister is weak because she is low in level. In my mind, she is always the most powerful. It seems like I can do anything, so..."

"Okay, okay, I know you didn't mean that..." Nero stretched out his hand to caress Alice's head, and said confidently: "However, even if someone says that, I don't care, don't you Have you ever seen the sun stop shining so brightly just because of some gossip?”

Feeling the rubbing sensation from the top of her head, Alice smiled unconsciously.

"Yes...sister, you are the one who shines like the sun."

Nero picked up his adventurer card and read it, then asked Alice.

"Alice, does everyone need different experience points to upgrade?"

"Huh? That's right..."

Although she didn't know why Nero suddenly asked this question, Alice explained it obediently.

"That's right. Although the higher the level for everyone, the more difficult it is to advance to the next level. But when the levels are the same, the experience points required for different people to advance to the next level will also be different. The amount of this experience value will be determined by It’s up to each person’s qualifications.”

"There seems to be a common sense in this world that the more talentless a person is, the faster they will be upgraded."

On the other hand, the higher the natural talent, the more difficult it is to upgrade.

"Hmm! I see... Hey, Alice, since even your level can be upgraded by one level, then the experience value of the monster we just killed should be able to increase a lot for a level one adventurer. Level right?”

"This...I'm not very clear about it. After all, let's not talk about other monsters. If you hit a bear, even the elite adventurers of the royal capital will find it difficult in a one-on-one situation, let alone the first-level adventurers. Under normal circumstances, there is no suspense in the battle, let alone winning.”

Alice showed a troubled expression, "I heard that it takes an average of one year for an average person to reach level 10, and it takes at least five years to reach level 20... However, being able to transfer so many After destroying high-level monsters, you can at least reach level ten or above...probably?"

Then, Alice saw Nero smile.

"Hmm! In other words... Yu Tiansheng's talent is so high that it's astonishing. It doesn't surprise Yu... No, I should say, this is what it should be!"

Nero showed his adventurer card to Alice, and then, Alice's eyes widened suddenly.

"Two levels?!"

The initial level of an adventurer is level one, which means...

"Sister, you have destroyed so many high-level monsters that even elite adventurers would find troublesome, and yet you only got one level?!"

"Hmm! There's nothing we can do about this..."

Nero covered his forehead, showing an extremely troubled expression.

"I am perfect like Yu, but I am often troubled by Yu's excessive talent... It is really a trouble of loneliness. No one in this world must understand Yu's distress, but there is no way, well, there is no way, this A talent that even the gods would be jealous of, is it a blessing or a curse... Hahahaha——!”

Chapter 261 Megumin was pushed back by a wheelbarrow

"Hmm! I don't know if Youyou woke up at this time..."

On the way back to Axel, Nero and Alice had already walked out of the forest and were on the plain near Axel, and the city wall of Axel was also very eye-catching not far away.

"I always feel a little sorry for Yuyou." Alice said helplessly: "She just became our teammate yesterday. She must be looking forward to her first adventure with us."

"Hmm! Listening to what you said...it seems that Yu did something wrong." Nero frowned, "It's because Yu's singing voice is too beautiful...It seems that I have to apologize to Youyou after I go back. "

"Sister Nero, you should apologize to Miss Youyou..."

Alice really thinks so.

"You can already see Axel's gate."

Nero smiled and said: "We have defeated so many high-level monsters today, so we should be able to earn a lot of Eris, right? With this kind of progress, maybe we can buy a house of our own soon."

Eris is the currency unit of this world, and one Eris is approximately equal to one yen.

"Shall we use the money obtained from completing the commission to buy a house of our own..."

Perhaps anticipating the future scene, Alice smiled expectantly.

Of course, what Alice looks forward to most is not "buying a house". After all, as the princess of this kingdom, how could Her Royal Highness be short of money? The most critical thing is the fact that "you can earn money to buy a house by your own ability."

"But... it's actually quite good to stay in a hotel." Alice suddenly said: "It feels like staying in a hotel has more of an adventurer atmosphere..."

"You don't actually need to be so entangled, because maybe people in the royal capital will find you before we make enough money to buy a house."

"..."

Nero's words instantly stopped Alice from being entangled, and also broke Alice's beautiful imagination of the future.

"Yes...I am still the princess of this country...伾"

"Hey, hey, you haven't forgotten your identity as a princess and really think of yourself as an adventurer, right?"

Nero looked at Alice in surprise, and then saw Alice turning her head to the side guiltily.

After some small talk, the two people also came to Axel's gate.

Nero and Alice passed the entrance and returned to the novice town Axel. They planned to return to the guild to submit the commission.

Then, at this moment...

"boom!"

A violent roar suddenly sounded not far away, and the dazzling firelight even obscured the brilliance of the sun.

This power has no other possibility except explosion magic, which is known as the strongest offensive magic in mankind.

"That... seems to be the explosion magic I saw in the forest last time?"

Alice still has memories of that time, she remembers...

"At that time, sister, you seemed to say that the person who cast the explosion magic in the forest was a girl from the Crimson Demon Clan, right?"

"Hmm! That's what Yu said..." Nero squinted his eyes and looked at the slowly rising mushroom cloud from a distance, "And this time, it should be the little girl from the Red Demon Clan."

"Sister, have you seen it again?"

"No, it was Yu who guessed it."

Basically no one will learn useless magic like Explosion Magic that consumes a lot of mana and can easily cause Overkill.

People who can use explosion magic are either powerful people like the Lich Wiz and the Goddess Warbuck who have no shortage of magic power, or they are people like Megumin who have bad brains.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Anxious shouts came from behind Nero and Alice, but before they could look back curiously, a man pushing a wheelbarrow flew past them and headed out of the city.

Not long after, the man came back pushing a wheelbarrow, and he was cursing.

"Didn't I tell you, if you want to cast magic randomly, go to the forest! Don't cast it in the plains near the town every day! Do you know how much work the craters you created have added to our workload! Even We still need to hire more people to fill the hole you created.”

After he said such words, the girl lying limply in the wheelbarrow like a slime said it matter-of-factly.

"Don't underestimate me. As a Crimson Demon, I have a very high IQ, so I know that if I release explosion magic in a forest full of monsters, those monsters will be attracted by the huge movement. , and when my magic power is exhausted and unable to move, I will become a monster's ration, but it is different when I am released in the plains, because uncle, you will definitely come over as quickly as possible... This is my trust in you, uncle. !”

"Get out of here!"

The two of them looked very familiar. The uncle seemed to be a civil worker in this town, and the girl who was leisurely lying in a wheelbarrow and was brought back by the uncle...

"Megumin, why are you here?"

"!!!"

Megumin suddenly raised her head and showed an expression as if, as a boy, you happened to bump into your good friend while wearing women's clothing at a comic exhibition cosplay.

"Nero...Nero!"

The children were so frightened that they stuttered.

The pale face may be a sign of depletion of magic power, but at least the stuttering must be due to Nero.

"Nero! How did you... Oops!"

Hui Hui had only said half of her words when the wheelbarrow carrying her suddenly tilted to one side, and then Hui Hui, who was completely powerless, fell off the wheelbarrow.

The red peaked hat that Hui Hui had been holding in her arms slowly fell on her head.

"Is she someone you know? That's great, take her away quickly." The nameless uncle looked at Hui Hui lying on the ground with disgust and said, "I still have work to do, let her stay away... I don't want to see her for a second."

After that, the uncle pushed the wheelbarrow away. Judging from the direction, it should be the place where the mushroom cloud appeared before.

Although the uncle's attitude, like chasing away flies, was a bit excessive, Nero could understand it.

Imagine that you have finally completed a project, got three months of paid vacation, and have already taken a plane to Sanya, Hainan to enjoy your vacation, and suddenly your boss called you to rush back to work overtime.

Then you will suddenly find that the uncle's attitude is already good.

Nero squatted down beside Huihui, and then reached out to poke Huihui... the hat on her head.

"Moshimoshi, can you hear me? Are you still alive?"

Because of the exhaustion of magic power, Huihui even looked very strenuous when she turned her head to glance at Nero.

The blushing little face revealed Huihui's inner shame.

Nero couldn't help laughing.

"I'll carry you back."

Chapter 262 The goddess hawking in the fruit and vegetable store

Huihui, who had exhausted her magic power, couldn't move, so Nero decided to carry her back.

After asking Huihui where she lived, Nero realized that he had asked a stupid question, because Huihui came with Youyou, so of course the two of them lived together.

Huihui's body was very light, and she didn't feel anything when she was carried on his back... Of course, it was also partly due to Nero's strong physical fitness as a servant.

"However, we won't go back directly. I still have to go to the guild to submit a commission. Do you mind?"

"Of course I have no objection. This is much better than lying on the ground until it gets dark and then going back by myself with a staff."

Huihui hugged Nero's neck, looking particularly well-behaved.

"Hmm! You should feel honored to let me, the emperor, carry you on my back!"

"Hmm... Then you can also feel honored. After all, you are carrying the strongest magician of the Red Demon Clan and the future world's number one magician!"

Even though she was weak and could only be carried by Nero, Huihui didn't seem to intend to give in verbally.

Alice followed Nero and looked at Huihui lying on Nero's back with a somewhat envious look for a while.

Alice remembered the night when she and Nero first met, when she was carried by Nero as a princess.

When she nestled in Nero's warm embrace, the fragrance lingering in her nose made her head dizzy.

When she jumped down from the castle window, she seemed to be free from some kind of restraint. The freedom of embracing the sky shocked her and she was also overwhelmed by excitement.

"Sister, she is... the girl from the Crimson Demon Clan who used Explosion Magic in the forest you mentioned before, right?"

Alice couldn't help but ask, "Did you... know each other before?"

"... Um! So, I don't think I've introduced Huihui to you yet."

Nero blinked, hugged Huihui's thighs with both hands and said, "She is Huihui, Yunyun's partner..."
