Ruby quickly left the dressing room, then took out the materials and tools for making the doll from her backpack, sat in front of the mirror, and began to carve.
Chapter 22 The Artist's Quirks? (4k)
Although she wanted to do something to help the current situation, An Yi didn't think her abilities could be of any help to the support heroes.
Since there was nothing else to do, Annie could only stand there and watch, so she decided to go back to where the orcs were first.
As soon as I got back, sure enough, the orcs and warriors were already itching for a fight, and the atmosphere was tense.
Layton and the Hammer Warrior, each holding their own weapon, stood at the very front of the crowd; they were the strongest among the warriors present.
But look at the orcs on the other side; they all have the same black hair and wheat-colored skin, and each one is as strong as Layton and his companion.
In terms of momentum, the human side seems to be at a disadvantage.
An Yi didn't need to ask any more questions. If he had to use a single word to describe the current situation, he would choose "ba"—Lin♂.
urgent!
Two words.
Anxious!
It's not hard to understand; so much time has passed, who knows what the goblins' situation is now?
Moreover, the orcs had no idea what the humans were up to.
All they can see right now is that humans are constantly wasting their time.
When hunting and lying in ambush, the beastmen are very patient; it is quite normal for them to lie in wait for several hours just to kill a single prey.
However, in terms of personality, they are by no means very patient people; rather, each of them is impatient.
Is that a sign of strong execution?
In short, they are in a great hurry. They desperately need to understand the current situation, whether it's the goblins or the humans, they need to know the situation on one side or the other.
Arya stood in the middle of the crowd, wearing An Yi's coat, her delicate brows furrowed, her eyes filled with anxiety.
Because she no longer knew how to persuade these people of her own kind.
“Anyi, you’re finally back…” Lycorina walked out of the crowd to Anyi’s side, looking exhausted.
"What happened?" Annie asked.
“These orcs almost started a fight with us just now. It was only after Her Highness the Holy Maiden stepped in and told them to wait a little longer that they stopped,” said Shara, the Archer Hero, from the side.
Annie looked at Lycorina: "What did you say to them?"
"I've said a lot, and I don't know how much of the past Arya helped me convey, but in any case, the orcs have calmed down a bit," Lycorina said with a wry smile.
However, Arya couldn't understand all of her words, or even fully convey her meaning.
However, Arya told the orcs a very crucial piece of information.
That is, Lycorina is the highest leader among humans.
Not just the few humans present, but the highest authority over all human territories and the entire human race.
Upon hearing that someone of such high status had appeared here to appease them, the beastmen were able to calm down for a while.
It wasn't about giving Lycorina face; Lycorina's appearance represented humanity's attitude towards orcs.
The fact that the highest leader personally came to the battlefield to cooperate with the orcs is enough to demonstrate how much they value the orcs.
But this will only provide temporary relief.
Over time, the orcs' anxiety will continue to accumulate.
While they're here, who knows what might happen to their families!
“Anyi, isn’t there any way to stop them from doing this?” Lycorina asked Anyi, looking at the two groups facing off.
“Yes, produce results,” An Yi said.
All we need to do is throw the fake head in front of the orcs, and they should have no complaints.
But the results aren't out yet, so we can only wait...
Oh no.
Showing them the semi-finished product is also acceptable.
Just bring a thousand brave warriors to the scene and create a fake head for them.
If you make something so real that even orcs can't tell the difference, surely you'll make them submit?
"wait a second."
After An Yi finished speaking, she turned and left.
"Wait... never mind." Shara was about to call out to An Yi, but then stopped herself.
An Yi glanced back at her, but she just shook her head and said, "It's nothing."
After An's figure disappeared into the forest, Shara asked Lycorina;
"Won't the Sword Hero say something to the beastmen?" she asked, puzzled.
"If we say anything now, we can only ask them to wait, right?"
It's just repeating what I just said; there's no point in saying it again.
Lycorina glanced in the direction Annie had left, smiled helplessly, and whispered to Shara;
"Let me tell you a secret, An Yi is actually quite bad with words."
"Huh?" Shara was taken aback.
What a sudden secret!
"If you ask him to speak, he will only omit a lot of the explanations and then tell you the final answer directly."
It's like if you ask him to tell you how to defeat a certain demon, all he'll tell you is—
'He wanted to kill, so he killed the other person.'
If you asked him to appease the orcs at this point, he would definitely stand there and tell them 'wait a little longer' with a blank expression.
"He'll just say a few words and leave!" Lycorina said seriously.
"Ah...is that so?" Shara was also at a loss for words.
"Yes, and if something happens that makes people unhappy, he doesn't know how to comfort them."
He would only ask what happened and how to solve it.
But sometimes all I want is for him to comfort me!
"Who doesn't know that the problem can be solved with just 4 minutes of time!" Liliu Corinna complained, arms crossed.
Shara: "Haha... There are times like this..."
Actually, Shara could understand it.
"Sword Hero is probably... more of a doer, right? For example, he might think that doing is more important than saying? That's why he prioritizes solving problems."
"In his opinion, you're unhappy because the problem hasn't been solved, not simply because you're unhappy, right?" Shara replied.
Lycorina frowned and thought for a while, then sighed softly and smiled: "Yeah, that's just how An Yi is, she's really bad at talking."
"Actually, Mr. Sword Hero is quite considerate of Her Highness the Saintess. Just like now, he's trying to find a solution to the problem you just raised, right?" Shara smiled.
"Hmm... let's just pretend we didn't hear any of the unnecessary complaints!"
"I'm not really dissatisfied, I was just saying it," Lycorina said with a smile.
“I know,” Shara nodded.
Even between oneself and one's teammates, friction is inevitable in daily life.
After all, everyone is different, and there will always be areas where conflicts arise, but ultimately it's not a big deal.
If you tell An Yi all of this, he'll just say "I'll correct it," and then he'll do it again next time, right?
Meanwhile, An Yi, who was preparing to solve the problem, asked questions as she walked and arrived at the rest room of the [Thousand Heroes].
After Milu brought Ruby back, she disappeared without a trace. An Yi didn't try to find her in the chat group either. Perhaps she found a dark corner to hide in?
The sheer volume of conversations she had with the people she brought back was enough to keep her busy for ages.
"Knock knock." An Yi knocked on the door.
There was no response from inside.
"Knock knock".
Knock knock.
An Yi knocked on the door twice more.
"?"
Could it be that they went out?
Judging from the other person's life experience, An Yi felt that the other person must be a socially anxious person. It's impossible for them to go out and play as soon as they arrived, right?
"Dong dong."
An Yi knocked twice more and raised her voice slightly: "Hero of a Thousand, I have a favor to ask of you."
There was still no response from inside after he finished speaking.
[Sword Hero: Has anyone seen where the Thousand Heroes went?]
An Yi first asked in the chat group.
Then he went to the stairs and asked the believer who was guarding them.
"Have the thousand warriors set out yet?" Annie asked.
The believer shook his head: "No, he hasn't come out since he entered the room, wait...!"
Could it be that demons have infiltrated...?
“She might just be asleep. Time is of the essence. Could you give me the room key?” Annie asked.
He can open the door with the slime sword, but using the key is more "legitimate".
