Chapter 397 Becoming a Hero
Just go shopping without hesitation.

No one expected that after two brutal wars, the commercial district of Sky City was not much deserted than usual. People were still coming and going on the streets. Although it was daytime and there were not many customers in the entertainment venues, There are a lot of customers in the sales place. There is a continuous flow of people coming in and out of the entrances of various stores. Many people are carrying various large-sized commodities to be loaded on the carrier.
Everyone was very smart and did not guess why the residents rushed together to buy large-volume goods. After the disaster, the house can be renovated, but the furniture cannot grow on its own. It can only be purchased from the store again. As one of the destroyers, Zhuying The visitors looked left and right, pretending not to see anything.

After walking around in the business district, a group of people had a completely new look. Everyone had changed into local clothes. Although with the cover of the messenger's power, even wearing Parvatija's clothes would not feel out of place, but The power of the messenger can only make the locals have a reasonable explanation for their behavior in wearing strange clothes. They feel that there is nothing wrong with this, but it does not allow people to regard their clothes as the same as the locals. This is too distinctive. As long as Detailed descriptions made it easy for people to find them, so everyone simply dressed up as city residents. After a little disguise, a group of slightly strange local people appeared. As for why these people neatly held a bag in their mouths. A lollipop, the answer is too scary, it’s better not to delve into it.

"Wow, uncle, you should give me this money." Delia also changed into a new set of clothes, lowering her head happily to admire herself. She hasn't worn such high-end clothes for a long time. It should be said that since she can remember, I haven't worn it much, but now I put on 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 was mentally, the little girl complained, "A set of clothes only costs more than 100 credits, which is enough for me to eat fresh meat for a month. Instead of wasting it on clothes, it is better for me to improve." What about life.”

"What are you afraid of? The money was given as a gift anyway, so it would be a waste if you don't use it."

Indeed, when the black market president was about to break up, he felt very proud that he had prepared a metal card called a currency card for the Shadow Chasers. He used it to watch the survivors being blackmailed by Delia. This is the kind of card that is traded.It is said that this card contains a 'huge sum' of [-] credit points, and the limit is reset every day, specifically for the daily consumption of these envoys from another world.

It seems that the president has also noticed that these envoys have become a group of unscrupulous people when they arrive in another world. He does not want them to cause any trouble because they have no money to spend. If they really have no money to pay after eating and shopping, he will get angry. If there is another meteor shower, it will really become a joke.Anyway, with the status of the president, I don’t care about the tens of thousands of credit points. I just spend money to buy peace of mind. I can also understand some characteristics of people from other worlds through their consumption tendencies. As the president of the black market, in terms of money, But I never knew what it means to suffer.

"I still feel it's a pity." Delia pouted. She was used to acting like a spoiled brat. "The idea I had in the past was to take those children with me and share the money earned equally with everyone. It fell to me. I don't have much left on my hands. I finally started a business alone this time, but my uncle won't let me make more money. Wow, by the way, uncle, look, the clothes I'm wearing are clothes that a young girl has just worn, and they are still warm. You must be interested, I'll take some losses, I'll give you a set of [-] credits for the cheaper price, how about this, you can't miss such a good business."

Twitching, the corners of the mouths of several shadow chasers twitched at the same time. Just a few days later, this child changed from being cautious and always on guard when they first met to his current attitude. This world is simply too scary.

"Yo yo yo, it's useless, just give up." Moria in the elf form raised her finger and shook it in front of the little girl, "I have already said, this guy is only interested in beasts, you are not hunting anymore It’s within the range.”

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

"Look, he has admitted it himself. Beasts and plants, as long as they are outside humans, he will get angry when he sees them... Hey, hey, what are you doing, Sasa? Don't pull my hair. No, don't pull me. The leaves are falling out of your hair, let it go."

Fortunately, the terrifying Moria was forcibly dragged aside by Saf to teach her a lesson, really, what are you talking about, how could she be only interested in people, what would I do if that happened.

"Alas." Xiuer sighed deeply with despair on his face, pretended not to know the two women who were getting more and more troublesome, and walked while holding Delia who was trembling with laughter, "You fellow It’s almost my turn, didn’t I agree to give you five grains of gold as payment for this deal?”

"Hey, I heard it all. As soon as you leave, uncle, the things you left behind will disappear. The gold and other things will disappear with you. I won't get anything."

"Really?" Xiu'er said with a half-smile, "Why do I think you will ask me for payment in advance, and then exchange it for credits before we leave?"

"Ha, ha, ha, uncle, look at what you said, ha, how could I do such a bad thing of passing on risks." The little girl said with a dry smile, "I just pursue maximizing interests for the sake of my future life. Ha ha ha ha."

"Oh." He sighed again. Xiuer had made friends with too many people. How could he not see the hesitation and uneasiness hidden in the little girl's heart under the smile on her face? It was different from when they first met. Now she What seemed like wild bargaining was actually mostly testing. In this case, instead of letting her continue to feel uneasy, it would be better to say clearly, "You really plan to continue your previous life."

"Otherwise, what can we do?" Delia's smile was a little stiff, "You can't stay, and you can't take me back."

"Oh, even if we can take you back, do you really plan to go with us?"

"No, that's your world, uncle, not mine." The girl shook her head decisively. It was obviously not the first time she had considered similar issues. "I belong to this world, even though I don't like it very much. I don’t like everyone here, but 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 heavy price." Shuer shrugged, "But this does not mean that you need to go back to your previous life. Live." "Are you talking about those people in the black market?" Delia curled her lips, "I hate them and don't want to accept their favors."

"Didn't you say that before, because of your parents?"

"Well, I didn't know the truth before, but now I know." Delia's face became gloomy, she bit her lip and remained silent for a while, before she whispered, "My opinion is the same as yours, uncle, and I can understand their actions. Emotionally it's unacceptable though. Not because of the years I've lived, it hurts to be subconsciously ostracized by everyone, but I don't really care, but they put the stigma on my parents for so many years, and it's still going on Go down, I will never forgive them for this."

"Ah……"

"Uncle, you are not allowed to laugh, you are not allowed to laugh." Delia glared at the Shadow Chasers in protest, "Just think of it as the willfulness of a little girl, but I would rather live as hard as before, than It’s weird to accept charity from them, but that’s what I think.”

"No, no, no, it's not strange at all. On the contrary, I'm surprised that you don't think so." Shuer patted the little guy's head, "But who told you that if you don't accept their favor, you will have to go back to the past? life?"

"Ok?"

"Have you forgotten? I just told you that once you listen to that conversation, you will never go back to the past. Haha, even if you imagine living like before, it is impossible."

"Uncle...what do you mean?"

"Let me ask you, you told us a few days ago that you wanted to see the Tower of Babel, right? Why, because your parents were missing inside?"

"Well, actually, on the day they left, I heard them say that they were going to the Tower of Babel. Although I was very young, I almost forgot all about them, but I didn't forget this at all, so When I heard the chairman talk about this matter today, I immediately realized that my parents are one of them." The girl muttered in a low voice, "I always thought that they would never betray human beings and believe in some kind of machinery. So, it is indeed the case.”

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

"There is another reason, let's just think of it as a child's fantasy." Delia said with a slight blush on her face, "There has been a legend circulating a long time ago, saying that the Tower of Babel contains many secrets before the mechanical apocalypse. , once you master these secrets, you can become the greatest hero."

"Huh?" The Shadow Chasers were stunned, and Shuer asked in confusion, "What is the greatest hero? Saving the floating city? Or defeating the mechanical beasts to save the planet?"

"I don't know either." The girl said awkwardly, "That's what the legend says. I guess the person who made up this legend didn't think it through. However, even though I know it's just a legend, I've always been looking forward to it."

"I'm afraid it may not be just a made-up story." Shuer and Mia looked at each other. If it was just Delia who wanted to go, it might just be a story, but since even the people in the black market mentioned it solemnly, I'm afraid it's definitely not the case. The story is so simple. Shuer pondered for a moment and showed a strange smile. "So, do you want to become a hero and change your destiny?"

"what?"

"Become the hero of this city with us, and then be our spokesperson here, haha, the spokesperson who will never be controlled by us?"
