4 This is an exceptionally difficult task, and it is normal that it requires careful consideration.
This is someone who infiltrated the Duke's city all by himself!
The reason why the heroes haven't explored Duke City yet is because it's probably the most dangerous area in the entire demon realm.
Furthermore, with the current turmoil within the Demon Realm, it is exceptionally difficult to infiltrate.
That's a place where even the Nightmare can't reach, so it's even less likely that heroes could bypass the demons' scrutiny and sneak in.
Even Aria only dared to observe from afar using her speed advantage, and did not actually enter the Duke's city.
Bata is slightly stronger than the current heroes, mainly because she has a physical advantage over humans, not because she is so strong that she can enter the Duke's City at will.
After a long silence, Milai seemed to have made up her mind. She first looked intently at An Yi, then, as if she had thought of something, she looked away.
Only after making up his mind once again did he look at An Yi seriously.
An Yi was also watching her, waiting for her decision.
He didn't proactively say "refusal is also possible," because, in principle—
Commands are absolute.
The five people standing here now are from the higher-ups of Nightmare, not heroes.
The Blood Sword belongs to the Lord of Nightmares, so when the Lord of Nightmares wants to use it, she has no right to refuse.
However, Annie allowed her to refuse.
Because this is just a "good opportunity".
The discovery of vampires presents a good opportunity to explore ahead of time and pave the way for the heroes.
But it's not something you have to do.
If Miley herself determines that this is a task she is not capable of undertaking, she can certainly refuse...
“I can go…” Miley looked into An’i’s eyes, “but I want the Dream Master to do one thing.”
An Yi: "Mm."
If you make a request of someone, it's perfectly normal for them to ask you to do something in return.
Although in terms of status, the other party had no right to negotiate terms with me...
Milai: "Can you just call me by my name? You can just call me Milai."
An Yi: "But... um... what did you say?"
Milai frantically tried to control the blood rushing to her face, preventing it from turning red: "I mean, next time just call me by my name, just call me Milai."
She said it again.
I said it again, "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!"
Mi Lai was internally screaming with frustration!
What is she even talking about?!
To be honest, it doesn't matter what you call her anymore. I don't care if she's called "Miss Blood Warrior" for the rest of her life.
But... but alas!
She's about to go on a very dangerous mission, isn't she?!
That's the territory of the Blood Clan, the territory of the true high-level demons, a land teeming with high-level demon combatants!
If she broke some taboo, it's not impossible that she might die inside, is it?!
At least... at least while I'm still alive, when I can see the Sword Hero again, let him call my name once more, okay?!
The first time she heard it might be the last, and she didn't want to go to a place where she could potentially die without ever hearing it once.
If we say, "Let's tell the Sword Hero about this after we get back," then wouldn't our entire lives be filled with regret if we couldn't come back?!
She doesn't want that.
Make sure to seize this opportunity and leave no regrets!
Before meeting Arya, she had never had such thoughts at all.
The reason is simple: An Yi always addresses everyone as "Mr. XX" or "Ms. XX".
Even the other three teammates in the squad would not call him by his first name.
In Miley's memory, An Yi never called her "Licorina" once; she always called her "Your Highness the Saintess."
Thinking about it this way, the search results for "Sword Hero" are actually equal for everyone, until...
The appearance of this white-haired catwoman!
She hugged the Sword Hero without any sense of distance from him, and even now she's still clinging to him. The key point is that she wasn't called "Miss Aria" but was addressed by her name directly!
Equality was suddenly shattered!
Miley had only one thought—
No way! I want one too!
Now that an "exception" has been made, why can't she try to get one?!
The next mission could be fatal!
"cough."
An Yi coughed lightly, then recalled that fleeting glimpse that she didn't really want to remember, before speaking;
“Alright, Miss Miley.”
With a "ku," Milai clenched his fist. He had already been half-submerged, but he still gritted his teeth and said solemnly.
"No, miss...!"
An Yi: "Hmm..."
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't one shyly reply "This... is fine" and then let the matter rest?
An Yi hadn't expected the other party to be so resolute.
“Then, Milai,” An Yi said expressionlessly.
"Boom!"
Mi Lai's legs buckled and she knelt on the ground. Not only did her knees thud, but her heart also pounded heavily.
Lana: "? Are you okay?"
Arya also had a question mark in her eyes.
Elsa stood there blankly, completely bewildered by what had happened.
An Yi: "..."
He had seen similar people before. In the later part of his previous life, he had even encountered someone who would turn off his "lack of passion" and approach him with impure motives.
Although he doesn't like interacting with others, his familiarity with the demon race, coupled with his superb combat skills, naturally makes him stand out among the heroes.
When one's ability to defeat demons reaches a certain level, even without deliberately doing anything, one will become prominent among heroes.
Naturally, this mysterious and powerful "Sword Hero" attracted attention from all sides.
Even though he can't be found most of the time, it doesn't affect his popularity.
Mysterious, powerful, ruthless, and dangerous.
For some girls, this kind of man's attraction is fatal.
Of course, the person in front of her, Milai, was simply admiring him.
Under the influence of "lack of sexual desire", the other person's admiration for you is definitely not for wanting to have a relationship with you that goes beyond that of an idol and worshipper.
Admiring great people doesn't necessarily mean wanting to start a family with them, right?
"I'm fine...it's just that there's something wrong with my blood." Mi Lai stood up, supporting herself on the table, and composed herself.
That's incredibly powerful!
She continued, "My Lord, please don't misunderstand. I just feel that... as a subordinate, it's fine to be addressed by my first name."
Annie: "I didn't treat you as subordinates."
Miley quickly said, "No, since you've joined [Nightmare], then you are my master!"
The master calling his subordinate "Miss" is strange in itself!
Lana scratched her head: "I think the Sword Hero considers us friends, right?"
Ah, may I take this opportunity to call the Sword Hero Mr. Karl?
To be honest, I've always felt that we're being a bit too distant.
Like Elsa, I don't have a surname, so you can call me Lana or Miss Lana.
Annie didn't object: "Okay, Miss Lana."
Miley: "?!"
Did they really close the distance so easily?!
However... it's still better for her to be called by her full name!
She hasn't lost yet!
Miley composed herself: "Ahem, anyway, can you tell me more about the [Vampire] territory?"
Without further ado, let's get to the point.
“Okay~~” Aria said with a smile.
Before long, a large map of the demon race appeared on the conference room table.
This map can be easily obtained using [Nightmare], but it doesn't contain any information about the Duke's City.
Simply put, the low-level demons of Earl City will never be able to reach Duke City in their entire lives. The maps they buy in which cities basically only contain detailed information about that city.
Even in the Marquis's city, it was the same.
An Yi knew that this was actually a setting in the "game".
