Chapter 39 Becoming a Hero

You can just go there and never hesitate.

No one expected that after two cruel wars, the commercial area of ​​Sky City was not much deserted than usual, and the streets were still crowded with people. Although it was daytime and there were not many customers in entertainment venues, there were many customers in sales venues, and a steady stream of people came in and out of the doors of various stores. Many people were carrying various large-sized goods to the vehicle.

Everyone was very sensible and did not guess why residents would rush together to buy large-scale goods. After the disaster, the house could be rebuilt, but the furniture could not grow out by itself. They could only buy it from the store. As one of the destroyers, the shadow chasers looked around and pretended not to see anything.

After walking around the commercial area, a group of people looked completely new, and everyone changed into local costumes. Although they were covered by the power of messengers, even if they were wearing Pavatiga's clothes, the power of messengers could only make the locals have a reasonable explanation for their behavior of wearing strange clothes. They felt that there was nothing wrong with this, but they could not make people regard their clothes as the same as locals. This was too characteristic and could easily be found by people as long as they were described in detail. Therefore, everyone simply dressed up as urban residents and disguised them in a little bit, and a group of slightly strange local people appeared. As for why these people were neatly holding a lollipop in their mouths, the answer was too terrible, and it would be better not to go into it.

"Wow, uncle, you should give me the money." Delia also changed into a new dress, lowered her head happily and admired herself. She hadn't worn such high-end clothes for a long time. It should be said that she hasn't worn it much since she remembers it. Now she has changed into new clothes and immediately got rid of the image of a wild child in the West Outer Ring District. However, no matter how satisfied she is, the little girl complained, "A set of clothes is more than a hundred credit points, which is enough for me to eat fresh meat for a month. Instead of wasting it on clothes, it's better to let me improve my life."

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, the money is given by others, so it's a waste if you don't need it."

Indeed, when the black market president was about to break up, he felt that he had prepared a metal card called a currency card for the shadow-seekers. When the survivors he saved were extorted by Delia, they were used to trade this card. It is said that this card contains a "huge sum of 50,000 credit points, and the amount will be reset every day, specifically for the daily consumption of these envoys in other worlds.

It seems that the president also saw that these envoys became a group of unscrupulous guys when they arrived in another world. He didn't want them to make any trouble because they had no money to spend. If they really had no money to pay for the bill after eating and shopping, and had a rage, it would have become a joke. Anyway, with the president's status, he doesn't care about these small money worth tens of thousands of credits. Just spend money to buy peace of mind, and can also grasp the characteristics of people in another world through the tendency to consume. As the president, he never knows what it means to suffer in money.

"It's a pity." Delia pouted, and was used to acting coquettish. "I used to think that I would take those children with me and share the money I earned with everyone. I don't have much left when I fall into my hands. This time I finally did a business alone, and the uncle didn't let me make more money. Wow, by the way, uncle, I'm wearing a dress that a young girl just wore, and it's still very warm. I must be interested. I'll suffer a little loss. It's better to have a set of one thousand credits. How about it, such a good business is not to be missed."

Twitched, and the corners of the mouths of several shadow-seekers twitched at the same time. Just a few days later, the child went from being cautious and cautious when he first met to his current attitude. This world is simply terrible.

"Yuyou, it's useless, give up." Moria, in the elf form, raised her finger and shook it in front of the little girl. "I've said it all, this guy is only interested in beasts, you are not within the hunting range."

"Hey, deer, weren't they still beasts and plants a few days ago? Why are there only beasts left now?"

"Look, he admitted it himself. As long as it is outside the human, he will send it as soon as he sees it... Hey, Sassa, what are you doing? Don't pull my hair, no, don't pull my hair, it's going to fall off the leaves, let go."

Fortunately, the terrifying Moria was forced to the side by Suff's brute force to teach her a lesson. What are you saying? How could you be interested in people only? What if that happens?

"Oh." Shure sighed deeply with a desperate look on his face, pretending not to know two women who are getting more and more troublesome. He walked and said, "You guy should be a little bit like me. Didn't this business be agreed to give you five gold as rewards?"

"I heard it all. Uncle, you will leave, the things you left will disappear. Gold and other things will disappear with you. I will get nothing."

"Is that?" Shur said with a smile, "Why do I think you would ask me for compensation in advance and then exchange it for credit points when we were not leaving."

"Ha, ha, ha, uncle, see what you said, ha, how could I do that kind of bad behavior of transferring risks?" the little girl said with a dry smile, "I am just pursuing the maximization of interests for the sake of my future life, hahahaha."

"Oh." She sighed again. She had had too many friends with people. How could she not see the little girl's face smile, and the confusion and anxiety hidden in her heart. Unlike when she first met her, she seemed to be making trouble now, but in fact she was mostly testing. Since this is the case, instead of letting her continue to be nervous, it is better to make it clear, "You really plan to continue your previous life."

"Or what?" Delia's smile was a little stiff, "You can't stay or take me back."

"Ha, even if we can take you back, are you really going to go with us?"

"If you don't go, that's your world, not mine." The girl shook her head decisively. It was obviously not the first time she considered a similar issue. "I belong to this world. Although I don't like this place very much, and I don't like everyone here, this is my home, and I just want to stay here."

"So, we never planned to take you away. Although it is not impossible to take you back after paying a lot of money." Shure shrugged, "But that doesn't mean you need to go back to your previous life."

"Are you talking about the people in the black market?" Delia curled her lips, "I hate them and don't want to accept their favor."

"That's not what you said before, because of your parents?"

"Well, I didn't know the truth before, but now I know." Delia's face turned gloomy, bit her lips and remained silent for a while before whispering, "My opinion is the same as you, uncle. I can understand their actions, but I can't accept it emotionally. It's not because my life over the years, although it's really painful to be subconsciously rejected by everyone, but I don't care much, but they have to bear the stigma of my parents for so many years, and I have to bear it all the time. I will never forgive them."

"Oh……"

"Uncle, you are not allowed to laugh, you are not allowed to laugh." Delia glared at the shadow chasers in protest, "Just think this is the willfulness of a little girl, but I would rather live as hard as before than accept their alms. It's strange, but that's what I think."

"No, no, no, not at all, on the contrary, it's strange that I don't think so." Shuer patted the little guy's head, "But who told you that if you don't accept their favor, you must return to your previous life?"

"Um?"

"Did you forget it? I just told you that once you listen to that conversation, you will never go back. Haha, even if you imagine that life is as impossible as before."

"Uncle...what do you mean?"

"I ask you, you told us a few days ago that you want to see the Tower of Babel, right? Why, because your parents are missing inside?"

"Well, on the day they left, I heard them say they were going to Babel. Although I was very young, I almost forgot about their affairs, but I didn't forget this at all. So today when I heard the president talk about this, I immediately realized that my parents were one of them." The girl muttered in a low voice, "I always felt that they would never betray humans and believe in some mechanical things. It's true, it's true."

"Haha, that's it, no other reason?"

"There is another reason, just treat it as a child's fantasy." Delia said shyly, "Since a long time ago, there has been a legend that there are many secrets before the mechanical doomsday hidden in the Tower of Babel. Once these secrets are mastered, she can become the greatest hero."

"Ha?" The shadow chasers were stunned, and Shuer asked in confusion, "What is the greatest hero? Is it the greatest hero to save the floating city? Or to defeat the mechanical beast to save this planet?"

"I don't know either." The girl said awkwardly, "That's what the legend says. I guess the person who compiled this legend didn't think it was done. However, although I knew it was just a legend, I always looked forward to it."

"I'm afraid it may not be just a story." Shuer and Mia looked at each other. If Delia wanted to go, it might be just a story. But since even the people in the black market mentioned it solemnly, it might not be as simple as the story. Shuer pondered for a moment and showed a strange smile, "So, do you want to be a hero to change your destiny?"

"ah?"
