However, sometimes appropriate silence can make both parties more dignified.
"I am Xia Die, a golden descendant from the holy city of Ohma. I entered this place by accident while searching for my other half."
"Ohm? Never heard of it. Looks like you're a stranger here. Never mind, I'm not interested in these things. Anyway, consider yourself lucky this time. Remember, don't tell anyone what you saw today, especially not to that arrogant blond bastard! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
As she spoke, Ishtar, like a cat with its fur standing on end, kept hissing at Xiaodie.
As she floated in mid-air, gesturing wildly, her beautiful legs slid along, tracing a bright arc in the air. Her smooth, spotless feet danced like elves before Xia Die's eyes, the knuckles of her feet clearly visible, her tiny toes curling slightly, utterly adorable. One couldn't help but wonder what the girl's reaction would be if she were put in one's mouth.
"I understand. However, since it's our first meeting, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
As Xia Die spoke, she took out a simple package.
"I need no offerings from humanity..."
Just as Ishtar was about to refuse, she saw the jewel-like light emanating from the opening of the bag.
Under the sunlight, Ishtar saw that the bag contained gems that sparkled in the sunlight.
"Well, you sensible human, since you are offering this tribute with such sincerity, I will accept your kindness. After all, as a deity, it is my duty to accept offerings from believers."
You despicable stranger, trying to win the gods' favor with offerings? Well, you've really chosen the right god!
She convinced herself and quickly took the bag.
Affection level increased (pp)!
Although this world doesn't have a favorability system, Xia Die could still sense that Ishtar's attitude towards her had become much gentler.
“State your request, and as a deity, I will do my best to grant it.”
Ishtar looked at Xia Die with shining eyes, and in a great mood, she said to Xia Die.
Hmm, I didn't look closely before, but now, looking at Xia Die's elegant figure, her elfin ears, and her gentle face...
Not bad. Among the humans she has seen in this world, Xia Die's beauty is enough to rank in the top three. Of course, she is still a bit inferior to me, who is a god!
She completely ignored Xiaodie's elven ears, which were clearly not human.
"Although it's a bit embarrassing to say, I'm lost. Please show me the way to the human city."
Xia Die looked at Ishtar and said.
The primary goal at present is to find human settlements and then determine the current state of the world.
"Let's head south. If we're not in a hurry, we should be able to reach Uruk in about three days. However, there are quite a few magical beasts along the way... But with your physique, you shouldn't have to worry."
With that, Ishtar boarded her celestial ark, Maana, and vanished from before the butterfly's sight in an instant.
Watching Ishtar leave, Xia Die shook her head helplessly. In any case, she had left a good impression on him, which was not bad.
With that thought in mind, she walked in the direction Ishtar had indicated.
Soon after, she entered a forest.
Compared to the wide plains, the forest is fraught with danger, where countless dangerous monsters lurk.
However, this had no effect on Xiaodie.
A moment later, Xia Die saw, deep in the dense forest, the corpse of a magical beast slashed open by a sharp blade, and a petite figure with purple hair.
Xia Die (Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia): 3: Ulusha! I'll kill you!
The girl in front of me was petite, but she held a scythe with a chain in her hand.
The corpses of the surrounding monsters were all caused by this sharp blade.
Sensing the presence behind her, she immediately turned around and looked at Xia Die.
Although she couldn't see the other person's eyes clearly, both her cute and sweet voice and the white cheeks under the hood confirmed to Xia Die that the other person was an extremely cute girl.
"Humans...? No...ordinary humans can't survive in this forest."
Upon seeing Xia Die, the girl's tone clearly revealed a hint of discomfort and disgust.
It wasn't that she disliked Xia Die as an individual; it was just that the other party simply disliked humans, or perhaps she wasn't good at dealing with humans, so she subconsciously expressed her resistance with disgust.
"Don't be nervous, miss. I mean no harm. I was just passing by and heard some noise, so I came to check it out."
Looking at the corpses of the monsters around her, Xia Die did not go forward, but stood in place to comfort the girl.
She could tell that the girl seemed to be in a state of confusion.
At the same time, the memories that surfaced in her mind confirmed Xia Die's identity as the girl in front of her.
Anna, the juvenile form of Medusa.
Of course, although she knew the other party's identity, Xia Die did not reveal it.
"Let's leave quickly, this place is not suitable for one person to travel alone."
After confirming that Xia Die was not hostile, Anna pulled down her hood to cover her face.
"Why don't we travel together? After all, this land is so dangerous, having more companions means more protection."
Xia Die looked at Anna and extended an invitation.
If the original storyline is followed, Merlin should find the other person soon, and as long as he goes with them, he will be able to reach the human settlement in no time.
"No."
Without even thinking, Anna refused.
"why?"
"I hate humans."
She glanced at Xia Die and said.
The moment she finished speaking, a scraping sound came from the bushes next to Xia Die, and then a magical beast pounced on Xia Die at an extremely fast speed.
Its gaping maw opened wide, its target the butterfly's throat.
Faced with this sudden situation, Xia Die stood frozen in place, as if she were stunned.
"careful!"
In a mere instant, Anna appeared beside Xia Die, wielding her scythe. In that instant, the monster was cleaved in two, blood splattering in the air, yet she remained untouched.
"Why don't you get out of the way?"
Anna looked at Xia Die with some displeasure, and as she spoke, she swung her scythe to wipe the blood off it.
"It can't hurt me."
As Anna approached, Xia Die instinctively clasped her hands together.
This was her habit; without exception, anyone who touched her hands would lose their life. Over time, Xia Die developed this habit to avoid accidentally touching others.
"But why did you save me?"
"No Road Race!"
Xia Die's question immediately startled Anna. Like a kitten hissing, her face flushed red as she waved her hand: "I just didn't want to see you die here and dirty my eyes, no... don't flatter yourself!"
After saying that, she turned her head slightly and muttered under her breath, "Humans... I hate them the most, I'd kill you..."
After saying that, she turned and walked away into the distance.
However, after taking a few steps, he realized that there were footsteps following him.
"Why are you following me? Do you really think I won't kill someone?"
She looked at Xia Die with some impatience and said coldly.
To this, Xia Die simply smiled gently: "I just happened to be walking on the same route as you."
"..."
Looking at Xia Die's serene smile, Anna opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing, only sighing dejectedly: "Fine, follow me if you like, but I won't save you if there's any more danger!"
After saying that, Anna turned and walked forward.
To this, Xia Die simply smiled. As a Servant, if Anna wanted to shake off Xia Die, she only needed to leave quickly. At her speed, most people couldn't keep up. However, the other party simply walked, and at a very slow pace. This was enough to show that although the other party said she hated her, she actually cared about Xia Die's safety.
However, she is not good at interacting with people and does not know how to express her feelings, so she uses this method.
Anna walked ahead, glancing around every now and then, and then glancing at Xiaodie behind her out of the corner of her eye to make sure she was safe.
However, the more she observed, the more she realized that Xia Die seemed to be quite different from ordinary humans.
Aside from those distinctive elf ears, Anna was intrigued by both his demeanor and the subtle, lurking danger emanating from him.
After all, if you were to walk alone on this dangerous land without special abilities to protect yourself, you would probably have become a meal for monsters long ago.
It wasn't until a certain moment that Anna noticed Xia Die's fingertips unconsciously brushing against a small blade of grass extending from a tree nearby.
In her sight, the small blade of grass withered and died in an instant at an extremely fast speed.
Death slipped through our fingers unnoticed, easily taking the life of this little blade of grass.
Anna's eyes widened in surprise at the sight.
With powers related to death, is this guy really not some kind of goddess of death?
But I can't sense any Servant aura from her.
For a moment, Anna looked at Xia Die with curiosity in her eyes, and at the same time she understood why Xia Die had subconsciously pulled her hands back when she approached.
So it wasn't that I hated myself, but rather that I was afraid my abilities would hurt me...
Thinking of this, Anna's mood inexplicably improved. When she saw Xia Die subconsciously withdraw her hand, Anna didn't show it, but she was still a little hurt inside. Although she said she hated humans and didn't care about their lives, Anna at this time, although she was a Servant, still had the delicate and sensitive thoughts of a little girl.
"My name is Anna, what's yours?"
A moment later, Anna took the initiative to start talking.
"My name is Xia Die, you can just call me by my name."
"Hmm... stick close to me. If you get lost, I won't care if you live or die."
Anna nodded, and when facing Xia Die, her expression became less wary.
"Thank you, Miss Anna."
Xia Die nodded, a smile appearing on her face. Although she didn't know what had happened, it was good that Anna was willing to communicate with her and wasn't so resistant.
