Hikaru felt a headache as he saw how much Anno loved him; he felt that her love for him was unconditional. It was as if she was programmed to love him, but Hikaru had other thoughts.
In many novels, the heroine would fall in love with the villain at first, but due to some problems, she would later fall in love with the male protagonist.
Authors often do this to highlight the main character's charisma and the villain's stupidity.
Hikaru sighed and said: "So... how do we move to the Dark-Elf Kingdom?"
Anno replied: "We'll use a special vehicle."
"A Special Vehicle?"
"Right." Anno nodded and explained: "Because the surrounding area is covered in fog, it takes a long time to find your way, and if you use other monsters to move, it is easy to be ambushed by monsters in the fog." Therefore, special vehicles are used to move in the fog. However, it can only travel to a location it has been to before.
Hikaru nodded; although he didn't understand what Anno was saying, he could still conclude that the special vehicle that Anno was talking about could be used to move around.
"BAM!"
Suddenly, the door of the room was violently kicked open, and Tsuraguki entered the room with a serious face, and she shouted: "Master, I will follow you."
Hikaru watched Tsuraguki enter the room and sighed, then said: "No!"
"Why? It would be dangerous for you if you went alone."
Hikaru explained: "Because this place needs a guardian. I don't know when Vuni will return, but if this place is attacked, someone must protect it. "Don't worry, I'm a very cowardly person; if I detect any danger, I will immediately run away."
Tsuraugki stared at Hikaru for a long time, then said: "Yes, Master!"
After saying that, Tsuraguki went out; before leaving, she turned and glanced at Anno and then left.
…
After Hikaru handed over the management of the territory to Saraya, Darnag, and Tsuraguki, he left with Anno.
The two sat in a carriage with a small wagon being pulled behind. The carriage, although small, still had enough space for four people to sit. The animal pulling the wagon wasn't a horse but a kind of monster resembling a giant iguana.
Underneath the carriage, there were no wheels, but a magic circle that made it hover.
Tsuraguki watched the car carrying Hikaru and Anno gradually disappear into the mist and sighed. Saraya saw Tsuraguki's sadness and asked: "Why don't you try asking Master to let you go?"
Tsuraguki replied, "I tried, but the result was the same as what Rika said."
[Don't worry, you will become extremely strong later on.]
Rika's voice suddenly resounded in Saraya's head, and this gave her a little hope.
On the carriage, Hikaru, who was inside, discovered that the seats were not opposite each other like the carriages he had seen on Earth. Inside the cabin, there was an extremely soft cushion underneath that was surrounded by pillows that were placed against the wall.
"This is…" Hikaru was a bit surprised. You really mean that this isn't a carriage but a bedroom?
Anno smiled and said: "This is a special car just for me. Because this car is only used by me, I have put a large cushion in place of the seat."
Hikaru frowned and asked: "But... when you came here, I saw you walking; you did not use this car."
Anno shook her head and replied, "That's when I ran away. If I had used the special vehicle, I would have been easily detected. "Besides, my four servants also walk, so I walked with them. Anyway, I don't want to sit in the carriage alone while the people around me have to walk."
Hikaru nodded, sensing that Anno was not a pretentious and contemptuous princess.
Anno and Hikaru took off their shoes and sat on the cushions. Anno suddenly took out an object; Hikaru saw it and immediately knew that it was a misty compass. Anno then attached the Misty Compass to the wall, and a magic circle appeared and synchronized with the Misty Compass.
Then the car automatically started moving. Outside the car, a spherical light enveloped the car, and within five meters of the car, the fog was repelled. The iguana pulled the car as if it had been programmed; its eyes were closed, but it still pulled the car very quickly.
Although the car went very fast, the inside of the car was extremely quiet; there was no shock. Inside the car, Hikaru lay on the system manipulator pad to see what was going on. Since receiving the group event notification, he had not received any other notifications.
Hikaru frowned and decided to view the world chat channel.
…
[Everybody! Looks like the system is error!]
[Error? Are you kidding me? The system also error?]
[Yes, I also think the system is faulty. After I received the notification of the group battle event, I no longer received any further notifications.]
[Me too, however, found that the other functions of the system were functioning normally. It seems that only the task and event functions of the system are faulty.]
[F*ck! My team just defeated another team; we waited forever and still didn't see the new message; only now did we realize that the system has an error.]
[Food! I need food.]
[F*ck you! You are always texting on the world chat channel that you need food; you do this more than 100 times a day; are you a black hole?]
[Yes, yesterday I sold you over 100 kg of food and more than 10 liters of water; did you use it all up?]
[Don't care about him; we need to know when the system error will be fixed.]
[Are you stupid? If I knew who the creator of the system was, I would immediately find that person and slash him to pieces with my sword.
[So now, what do we do next?]
[Wait.]
[Wait until when?]
[Don't know!]
[Do you think that perhaps this is not an error but a different kind of event?]
What does the player above mean? Do you have any information?
It's not like I have any information. I have a guess that the system is not showing an error, but it has just started another event; however, this event has no notification.
[The more you talk, the harder it is for me to understand.]
[Please speak clearly.]
[Haizzz. Okay! Like in other games, when the new one launches, there will be many events to help players reduce boredom and collect more items and equipment. However, when the players have enough equipment and items, what will happen?
[I know! Players will no longer be interested in participating in the game's events. Even if it's forced, the players will find a way to delay them.
[Right. Our current situation is similar. When we first came to this world, we had to find food, drink, and face a lot of monsters inside the fog. However, things are different now.
[I'm so hungry.]
[F*ck you! I'm explaining; if you interrupt, I'll kill you. Ack! For now, people don't need to worry about food. Most of the players had the ability to survive in this world, so everyone avoided having to fight other people. [To be more precise, everyone is currently aiming to safely develop themselves rather than fight other players.]
I also think the same as the player above. Presumably, the system will drop the current event and introduce a new function or event. After all, the system events have only one purpose, which is to make players fight each other until only a few survive.
[Exactly. I think there are two scenarios. One, the system will launch a new event and force people to do that event or task. Or two, the system will allow everyone to develop themselves, but it will also strengthen the monsters to make it easier for them to kill the players.
[Strengthen the monsters? So, there's a possibility that the monsters will destroy all the players, and there won't be anyone left alive.
The player above is wrong. Currently, other players have started to form multiple guilds, which means that the players have begun to unite and form a society. The guild is a country, and the guild master is the king. [Even if all the people in the country die, the King is still alive.]
[F*ck! Damn it! We risked our lives to stop the monsters, and the King lives comfortably in the castle?]
[The above players who don't want to risk their lives can leave the guild. Even though you don't risk your life for others, it also means that you have to live alone and be isolated.]
[The above player is correct. When you join a guild, you risk your life to keep the guild master safe, but the guild master must also find a way for the players to unite and fight the monsters outside. If the monsters attack the guild and many players unite to defeat the monsters, then there won't be many casualties, but if you live alone...]
[I see; thanks to everyone for the explanation.]
[I'm so hungry.]
[F*ck! F*ck! I'll give you some meat. Don't text the World Channel, okay? You are like a hungry ghost, always hungry. Why don't you starve to death?
…
Hikaru looked at the world chat channel and fell into deep thought. It seemed that the system was not at fault but was preparing something more sinister.
He sighed and looked outside through the window of the carriage. It was only foggy outside; however, behind those layers of fog were horrible monsters that were staring at the carriage where Hikaru and Anno were sitting.
However, this wagon was being protected by the energy of the Misty Compass, so monsters could not attack it. Hikaru sighed, as he did not know what to do.
…
Elsewhere, Duraxi held a Misty Lamp in one hand and a broken sword in the other; he was covered in wounds as he walked in the fog.
Although Duraxi was injured a lot, he did not feel tired or scared; on the contrary, Duraxi felt extremely excited because he saw a cave.
Duraxi said happily, "Guhi, I found the cave gate."
Guhi lazily said: "Call me Master; don't call me by my name."
Duraxi laughed, however, in his heart he thought: "Hehehe... in the future you will be my wife, a member of my harem, then I can call you whatever name you want."
Guhi continued: "To obtain the "Fire Lotus, it depends on your ability."
