Reborn NPC: I'm really not the protagonist!

Hearing the voice behind him, Hill was a little dazed.

She stood up and turned around curiously.

Although the server has not been opened yet, she knows that the NPCs in "The Sanctuary" are famously intelligent. In many cases, many players even treat them as real people, which has led to many ridiculous incidents that made people laugh and cry.

Hill looked carefully and his eyes suddenly widened.

This is....!!

Alice?

The priest of light, Alice, who was regarded as the white moonlight of "Sanctuary" by countless Kingdom players and even sent knives to the game planner because of this?

As one of the first players to enter the "Sanctuary", Hill was naturally very familiar with this person.

As we all know, most people named Alice have blonde hair and blue eyes.

As we all know, in order to keep players addicted and continue playing, game companies usually give players an unforgettable experience at the beginning of the game.

And Alice is a character who is just one step away from having a knife carved into her face.

In the early stages of the game, players will see this White Moonlight in many places.

Orphanage, church....

She will enthusiastically help other NPCs, remember everyone's name, and when she sees the player, she will bend her beautiful eyes into crescents and greet them warmly.

Occasionally when adventuring in the wild, when Alice finds a player in poor condition, she will caringly restore the player's condition and even give him food and supplies.

In normal conversations, Alice's words are also full of hope and...flag.

For example, "When the children grow up, I want to open a flower shop and sell flowers on the roadside..." "Don't worry, I will of course wait until the day when you, the Chosen One, become powerful~"

Many people on the forum enthusiastically call Alice "the light of the temple", and she is even a virtual character with her own fan club.

How popular is Alice?

As a game character, the more popular he is, the more likely it is that peripheral products related to this character will appear in real life, including...books!

It is said that a ruthless person once drew a book about Alice, but two hours after it was released, he was threatened by countless indignant players and withdrew his work.

However, such a popular character, in the first world-class main storyline of "Sanctuary", [Kingdom Rebellion], with a crushing regret, took the initiative to sacrifice himself to protect the novice main city of the Kingdom area, which became the regret of all Kingdom area players...

Of course, that includes Hill!

It’s so frustrating....finally there’s a chance to even it out!

Hill was very excited. With red eyes, he looked at Alice who had already got off the carriage. Before he could speak, he couldn't help sniffing.

“Poor kid….”

Alice seemed to have discovered something. Looking at the bruises on Hill's knees and her messy hair, she quickly walked over, gently combed her hair, and gently took Hill's hand.

【cure! 】

A green light suddenly appeared all over Hill's body.

The original scars disappeared visibly, and Hill's health value returned from 24 to 30....

Without waiting for Hill to react, Alice raised her pink palm again. After a flash of light, a soft-looking ball appeared in her palm.

"Little girl, don't cry~" Soon, the ball appeared in Hill's palm. Alice smiled, bent down and touched Hill's head.

"........" Hill held the dumpling in his hand and remained silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Uh..." Alice was stunned, as if she felt that her actions had frightened the girl in front of her. She smiled awkwardly and silently withdrew her hand that was stroking the other's head.

"Snapped!"

However, as soon as she raised her hand, Hill suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"........"

The two looked at each other silently for a moment. Hill thought about it, then put Alice's hand back on his head without saying a word.

【So...so cute...】

Looking at Hill's timid eyes, Alice felt her heart melt, but she was afraid of scaring the girl, so she gave up the idea of ​​going forward to hug her and pinch her face.

Hill, on the other hand, silently observed the dumpling in his hand.

In my heart, I was still confused by the discovery I had just made.

Alice... has a pulse and temperature...

She... is alive?

Yes, I can feel the cold in this world. Obviously, this is the real world!

Thinking of this, she suddenly became a little excited and looked at the dumpling in her hand again...

Whether in reality or in games, she has never eaten any food with flavor!

Take a bite and the soft, sweet taste instantly fills your mouth.

Hill's eyes lit up, and he swallowed all the dumplings in his hand in big mouthfuls.

"Don't worry, I still have a lot here..." Alice smiled and waited quietly for Hill to swallow the last bite before handing him water and more dumplings.

Hill started eating without hesitation and stopped only when he could not swallow any more.

"Little girl, how did you get here?" Only then did Alice finally speak, and asked curiously: "Where's Mom? Are you alone?"

"...Mom, in another world." Hill thought for a moment and said honestly.

"Ah!" Alice quickly covered her lips, a little panicked. After a pause, she lowered her head with great apology: "Sorry, I'm really sorry, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Hill's hand suddenly rested on Alice's lowered head.

She didn't say anything because she didn't know what to say. She couldn't just pretend to be a macho and make dirty jokes like she did with her gaming friends in the past, right?

And she, apart from games, has no idea what real social interaction is like.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Alice felt that the girl was taking care of her emotions. She felt very embarrassed and blushed. She asked curiously, "What's your name?"

"Hill."

"Then Hill, you..." Alice nodded and was about to ask where the rest of Hill's family was, but seeing how miserable he looked, she thought about it and hesitated.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly said, "So... do you want to go to church with me?"

"Church?" Hill tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.

"Sister is the new priest of Bell Town," Alice was so touched that she couldn't help but pinch Hill's cheek. "Go help sister manage the church? At least you can support yourself."

"Oh..." Hill suddenly realized.

Yes, Alice is one of the key figures in the Novice Village, which is one of the reasons why she is so popular among players.

The church in Bell Town...

She was a little surprised that she hadn't been there for a long time...

Speaking of Bell Town Church...

Hill's eyes suddenly lit up. At the bottom of the Bell Town Church, there was the first hidden mission in the Kingdom area!

She didn't know about this mission when she was in the Novice Village. The reason she knew about it was because of the extremely special reward of this hidden mission, which made the owner of it shine in the first player competition that followed...

Now, there are still ten days until the server launch, and although there are still many things that I have not figured out, but...

Before that, maybe she could seize some advantage?
