Being bred by the worm mother to breed offspring?

"Of course it's because of boredom..."

Shaking the long-empty wine glass in my hand, I was sitting at the bar tilting my head, very bored.

Speaking of drinking, I'm used to it. Even though I'm still getting drunk quickly with the wine in another world, I can still drink a little, because wine is probably the only way I miss the earth...

"In that case, let me tell you a story."

Gude, who was wiping the wine glass, put down the thing in his hand, and then looked at me with deep and incomprehensible eyes.

"That's a legend about a leader..."

24 Legends of Heroes

This is a very long and very simple story.

Because the content of the story is extremely complex, but telling it is a very simple process.

"This story has been circulating for a long time. I don't know how long it was, but it has existed since before the city of Apocalypse... The story is like this. Before the split between half-humans and humans, there was actually such a battle. At that time The half-humans are the same as now, and they clashed several times with opponents who were not human kingdoms, and the cunning kingdom used all kinds of tricks and insidious strategies to make the half-humans suffer.

Until the beginning of the final decisive battle, half-humans have been retreating steadily. When facing the final attack of human beings, you should be able to imagine that failure is doomed, because half-humans are not opponents of human beings' cunning schemes at all...

But the half-humans did not fail that time, because someone appeared during that time, he led the lingering half-humans to rescue from the desperate situation at that time, relying on his wisdom, the half-humans insisted that they were not as powerful as the kingdom. In comparison, until many, many years have passed, and now...

That's the story, simple and boring..."

I have been observing Gude’s expression, and when telling this story, he has been looking at me with very strange eyes. I can’t understand it, including this simple story that has no twists and turns, no fun, and no novelty , I also have many places that I can't understand...

Goode seemed to be telling me the story, and then he went back to wiping his glass, which of course gave me some time to think about what I was going to ask.

Because of the damage to Apocalypse City, Gude's bar customers have become very few. Maybe half-humans who are also monsters may know more, but the druid who has been here has also walked away just now. If Lissus is still there, and with her straightforward personality, she will probably notice something at once, but I don't understand what the purpose of this simple story is for me...

"What happened later? Why did the half-human still lose to the human?"

"Later... this person disappeared."

Goode shrugged his shoulders. At his age, it feels a bit weird to do such indifferent movements, but I don't care about these. In comparison, there are many things I don't understand.

"Disappeared? Where did you go? Why did you disappear?"

"Please, little brother, I'm still thousands of years away from that era, how could I know so much!"

"Okay... sorry I was impulsive..."

How could I care so much about this issue?What happened thousands of years ago has nothing to do with me, does it?Even if there was a hero at that time, it was a story after all, and there is no need to take the illusory things seriously, but why am I still so nervous?Maybe there will be an answer next.

"It is said that the human who led half-humans to the light left this world, how he left, and where he went, no one knows, including those half-humans who had the best relationship with him at that time."

"That's a pity..."

All those wild images echoed in my mind, so that I didn't even notice what Goode said. When I realized it, I realized that I had overlooked too many important points.

"Hmm... No! Why did half-humans at that time believe in humans? It stands to reason that half-humans were bullied so badly by humans at that time, shouldn't they hate humans?"

"I don't know either. God knows what happened in the situation at that time. This story is only passed down by the population of Tianqi City through the ages... Speaking of which, the original founder of Tianqi City was that hero."

"That's such a pity... The original founder of Ha Tianqi City is that hero?!"

"Yes, that's him. Sounds surprised?"

The amount of information was suddenly a bit large, and I thought I might have heard something wrong to cause such a bloody plot, but Gude's serious expression told me that this was the truth.

"No, it's not surprise, it's shock!"

I just said why the monsters are so polite to Tianqi City, so there is a reason here.

"So the human beings in Apocalypse City can get along well with half-humans because of the heroes' credit?"

"Part of it, but many of you gather together because you think there is no difference between humans and half-humans."

Well, but I don't want to talk about these now. There is one thing in Goode's words that I care about.

That hero left this world...

This is a very crucial sentence, because this sentence expresses a hope that I have always had. If there is a communication channel between this world and other worlds, does it mean that I can also return to the earth?

So I have to know more about this hero.

"So this hero is also a member of the kingdom?"

"No, he has nothing to do with the kingdom. He is not from this continent. He sounds like a little brother. According to records, he said at the time that he also came from another continent in the distant sea..."

Not at all like me, I'm a liar!I am from the earth!

Another point I am very concerned about is that I made up such a ridiculous reason for another continent because I am from the earth, because I heard that the distance between that sea and the nearest continent is far beyond imagination. There is no possibility of crossing, that is to say, this person is likely to have lied, and it is possible...

He could also be from Earth!

Once this kind of thought is planted, it will echo in my mind like a virus. If it is the earth, he is a fellow!No matter which country they are from, they are all my dearest fellow villagers!And this also proves from the side that returning to Earth is feasible!

"Actually... I still don't know why he quickly gained trust among the half-humans at that time... Listening to your story, it seems that he is still the leader of all the half-humans. It's impossible for everyone to believe him, right?"

"I don't know what method he used to make half people believe in his decision, but you are right in saying that the half people who firmly believe in him are only a small number of people, and many half people are a battle. It's just a bet on him, and that's all I know."

"Okay...thank you for the story, although it's very boring..."

Look at me, it's already very difficult to understand what Gude is talking about. After all, it happened thousands of years ago, and there will always be flaws in the information obtained by word of mouth from generation to generation in Apocalypse City.

But at least I have some hope in my mind. To a large extent, this "hero" may be a fellow from the earth. If he really leaves the different world, then I can also return to the earth again.

If only it were as simple as I thought it would be...

It is always a long time before I understand how relevant this sentence is to the current situation, but I will deal with it later. When I left the bar, Goode said the last meaningful sentence

"The hero is very similar to you, at least in terms of looking at half-humans."

Mixed with the sound of the wine glass hitting the table lightly, these words came to my ears lightly.

25 Out of town

The industry in Apocalypse City... um... I think that the progress of industry is very efficient. After a month of reforms, the firearms have basically been semi-automated, and the blacksmiths in Apocalypse City can no longer rely on my guidance. The makeover is complete.

Humans and monsters in this world are not ignorant, so they are still very fast in learning, so I am very relieved.

Of course, it is no longer a question of proficiency at this time, because when designing an engine that works with electricity, some problems of the times have been encountered, because the electric motor is the core of the operation of various machines, so this The problem had to be solved immediately.
