Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!-Chapter 384: D142. Black Cat Girls_2

In the ancient times when the Great Demon still walked the earth, human settlements often eked out an existence in the narrow gaps between Magic Creatures.

But even in such simple survival, there was a vast difference between people. In the face of the world’s malice and the terrifying Great Demon, some tribes, much like the Ancient Hero, refused to yield and bravely resisted the Magic Creatures. Others chose to bow their heads, humbly seeking survival, worshiping the Magic Creatures as divine beings.

They built walls and erected sanctuaries in the territories of the Magic Creatures, groveling at the feet of the Great Demon. They confined their own tribes to Hell for a secluded corner of survival.

However, as time passed and the world changed, the city-states that once worshipped the Cursed Magic Creatures as gods were eventually buried beneath the loess.

Yet, new Humankind rose again on the ruins of this city-state, and through these cyclical changes, it became the city standing at the Border today.

The distant past is difficult to verify for the Kingdom today.

But the halls inhabited by the Devouring Curse Demon, revered as gods at that time by Humankind, have not been completely destroyed despite the passage of so many years. They have transformed into dangerous Secret Realms, which, even to this day, can still claim human lives.

Upon learning that the Curse Temple was located in the Border City, the Hero said goodbye to the Knowledge Hunter and returned to the Count Mansion.

[Should I talk to Grandpa?]

As the Knowledge Hunter stated, the adventurer’s sister coming into contact with the Nightmare’s remnants was merely coincidental.

But in a sense, it was also the result of getting entangled with Curse Miasma.

The curse brought negative effects, and the oppressive emotions it gave rise to attracted the remnant of the Nightmare.

If someone lacking in strength entered the ruins, they could essentially be declared dead, and coming out alive might only result in their family’s tragic demise.

That brother managed to hold on for so long thanks to the power from the Sanctuary ruins, diluted by the long passage of time.

Therefore, the Hero did not intend to act with others on this Sanctuary exploration.

Especially with the Gleaming Scale Serpent and the Knowledge Hunter in tow, the Sanctuary’s dangers did not exceed her tolerable range, and the Knowledge Hunter judged it similarly.

While not planning to act with others, the Hero had no intention of keeping it completely secret either.

The Hero had some confidence in her abilities but was not arrogant. The Sanctuary exploration was not her main task; her ultimate goal was to summon and hunt an Fantasy Species level Devouring Cursed Demon.

Whether it was informing family in advance or making proper preparations, both were necessary actions.

Though it always felt troublesome to bother the Count, failure or injury from not doing so would be a far greater loss.

[The Hero will perform two preparatory events]

1. Grandpa decided to teach the Hero Taboo Knowledge

2. The village chief grandma taught the rite of sacrificing to the Devouring Curse Demon

3. The Count offered various useful Arcane Artifacts

4. The Bishop made a long-overdue visit

5. The Snow Woman sent the Ice of Purification

6. The Sergeant handed an Amulet to the Hero

7. The Fourteenth Princess lent the Sealing Demon Lock to the Hero♛

8. The Night Tiger said it would act as a Guard on the journey♛

9. The White Snake sent the Cleansing Scales

10. Critical Success/Extreme Failure

At dinner, at the gathering around the table, the Hero cleared her throat and recounted her encounters in recent days and her upcoming plans.

The most surprised to hear that the Hero had struck a deal with the persistent Knowledge Hunter was none other than Grandpa. But, having the experience of a small Knowledge Hunter being directly captured by the Hero, he did not interrupt, but silently listened.

"Curse Temple, huh... Though I know that beneath this city there are some ruins that aren’t entirely safe, no one typically ventures into those areas, so they haven’t been dealt with much..."

The Count’s expression was thoughtful. Even he couldn’t be completely aware of all aspects of the city. Such ancient secrets were quite unfamiliar to him.

"But this explains it. Although weakened, the magic power from underground still affects the residents above to some extent, like the Blood Replacement ritual from a few years ago, and the annual curse incident statistics... Higher figures compared to inland cities..."

The Count exhaled deeply, looking somewhat burdened.

"I thought it was the inevitable flaw of being at the Border, perhaps also involving the Black Gate. But I never expected it to be underground... Miss Hero, your information is of great significance to us, and once again, we’ve been in your debt.

"It seems I, as a Lord, still have a lot to learn."

"Oh no, you’re too kind." The Hero waved her hand hurriedly as the Count solemnly thanked her. freeweɓnøvel~com

"I only obtained this information by chance in seeking to solve my own problems.

"And I don’t have much experience with underground exploration..." Remembering the Count’s queries when she proposed patrolling, the Hero lowered her voice.

The Count found it slightly amusing, noticing her uncertainty.

"It seems my previous talk put a lot of pressure on you, but I never intended to limit your thoughts, Hero. I only hope you can prepare and ensure you’re capable of facing risks. Recommending you go to the Royal Capital Academy was for this reason.

"So I’ll assist as much as possible with this Sanctuary exploration. It’s also an obligation for me as a Lord, for those living in this city.

"Therefore, regarding the exploration team—"

"Meow!"

The sudden meow of a cat interrupted the Count’s words before he could finish.

Under everyone’s surprised gaze, a black cat—the Count family’s inherited Familiar named Night Tiger—elegantly leapt onto the table, not touching anything, and skillfully approached the Hero.

"Meow, meow." The black cat’s emerald green eyes met those of the Hero, purring softly.

[Male or female♛?]

[Hero activated Skill: Heart Language]

"Hey, are you going with me?"

"Mm? You’re going with her?"

Their voices nearly overlapped, making the Count blink in surprise.
