Hilo, upon hearing this, immediately reacted: “That’s right, what about ‘fire’?”
“Would Kami-sama teach you a word that didn’t even appear in the conversation?” Sephie pressed further.
Sephie was hiding a piece of information.
That is, humans already knew the monster pronunciation of “fire”.
Therefore, when Anyi said “fire monster,” she heard the word “fire.”
Although she didn’t want to suspect that Anyi was colluding with monsters, his actions were too suspicious!
Strength exceeding his attributes, fluent monster language, his skillful use of the system, all made her sense something special about him.
Did he have a hidden identity?
Impossible to say!
Anyi thought their suspicion was reasonable.
After all, as soldiers, they shouldn’t lack this level of discernment.
It would have been strange if they had just laughed it off like Ariana and the three.
So, he had already considered this possibility.
He currently had a key piece of information. Ariana, the three, and many believers knew it, but didn’t know the details.
“Before we fought the Goblin Centurion, I obtained information about a group of monsters called [Succubi].”
Without much delay, Anyi said calmly.
Hilo: “Succubi?”
“When we fought the Goblin Centurion, we had the Succubi guide us.
Because I didn’t know if the Succubi could provide information about the Goblin Centurion that we didn’t know, I asked them to teach me some of the monster language.”
“Miss Miruku should know that I spent some time with the Succubi before we captured them.” Anyi explained.
Everyone turned their attention to Miruku.
Miruku: “?!”
Me?!
Miruku shrugged slightly and looked around.
Thinking… quickly thinking… remembering!
“Yes… That’s right.” Miruku nodded.
【Thorn Hero: After Mr. Anyi captured the Succubi, he interrogated them for a while.
During the time before I arrived, Mr. Anyi had already obtained crucial information about the Goblin Centurion.】
Miruku, afraid of stammering, typed directly.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
Anyi nodded: “During that time, I learned the monster language from them.
Both combat-related and daily-related terms. After system analysis, I quickly learned the basic monster language.”
“Why didn’t you tell us earlier?!” Hilo questioned again.
Anyi remained calm: “I was teaching you how to use the system to analyze and record monster languages, explaining the basic principles.
Otherwise, I could just say I learned the monster language from the Succubi, why would I explain so much?”
“This… Ah.” Hilo scratched her head.
The other three members of the Silver Moon team fell into thought.
That’s right, if Anyi hadn’t explained so much, and simply replied “I learned it from the Succubi,” they wouldn’t have had anything to say.
After all, it was verifiable information.
Anyi didn’t need to explain, teach them, or even get angry at their suspicions.
But he still patiently explained.
Sephie still doubted whether the Succubi had taught him the monster language, but since it had come to this, she didn’t dare ask further.
After all, what was the point of suspecting?
The Succubi weren’t here, and there was no way to verify it.
Ariana, however, was a little unhappy: “Those chosen by Kami-sama are those who hate monsters.
If Anyi was really colluding with monsters, Kami-sama wouldn’t have chosen him!”
She was a little annoyed, whether they suspected Anyi or Kami’s choice, Ariana was unhappy.
“Fine, we were being too suspicious.” Hilo nodded apologetically.
Hearing this, Eira and Sephie were also startled.
That’s right, if Anyi really had an unspeakable relationship with monsters, why would Kami give him such strength?
They didn’t know Anyi’s background, but didn’t God know?
“Sorry, we were too sensitive.” Sephie bowed her head to apologize.
Eira also said: “You helped me earlier, and I didn’t even thank you, sorry.”
Sisrine bowed slightly.
But compared to suspecting Anyi, she was more inclined to trust him.
After all, it was Anyi who gave her confidence and trained her.
If Anyi were the enemy, why would he cultivate such a difficult enemy?
“Let’s go.” Anyi didn’t blame them, “Now that we know about the system’s functions, our mission isn’t just to unlock Bestiary entries.
We also need to collect and learn as much of the monster language as possible.
Then bring it back to human territory.”
“Okay!” Hilo nodded with a smile.
Along the way, everything was novel, the bizarre-looking monsters, the equally bizarre buildings and streets, and even the goods being sold.
Monsters were chattering along the way, and in their ears, the eight heroes’ conversation sounded like gibberish.
Contrary to their expectations, entering the monster city didn’t bring the immense survival pressure they imagined, it was more like…
A sightseeing trip or a stroll outside the city?
They didn’t know that it was because of the high mana of some members of their team, comparable to Class 4 monsters, that they were able to travel smoothly.
Otherwise, with their size, monsters would have kicked them to see how far they could fly.
Moreover, knowing their own strength, they also had a certain amount of power.
Other humans would enter timidly, with a guilty conscience, making it difficult for them to travel among the monsters.
But the humans here didn’t realize this, they simply thought that the monsters were on edge.
Although monsters were 70% responsible, humans were also 30% responsible.
Behind the team, Anyi asked Ariana:
“Holy Maiden, you didn’t suspect I was the enemy, did you?”
“Suspect? Why would I suspect?” Ariana asked back.
“Because I used a monster language no human could use.” Anyi said.
“So what?
Anyi’s a genius, isn’t it normal for him to do something no other human can do!” Ariana said confidently.
Anyi was stunned, silent for a moment, then said: “Fine then.
Thank you.”
“I accept your thanks! But… what am I thanking you for?” Ariana was happy, but also puzzled.
“Probably, for trusting me.” Anyi said.
“Ho.” Ariana didn’t know how to respond, only replying with a sound.
Thanking him for trusting him?
Wasn’t that a given?!
Because Anyi also always trusted her!
A few days later…
Three days until the one-month anniversary of the Holy Hero’s birth.
Three days until the death of 【Blade Hero: Hilo · Rost】, who killed the Sword Demon;
