Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!
Chapter 214: D76. Never Forgotten

Chapter 214: D76. Never Forgotten

The neatly re-dressed hero hopped on the spot to confirm nothing was missed, then raised her head to look at the misty sky.

The plain finger claw hung at her waist, and a snake-shaped hairpin, which she did not know when had twined itself around her hair again, gathered her fog-white strands and fluttered slightly with the icy wind.

Hero exhaled a puff of white mist.

[Average Temperature (Cold Degree 59, Altitude three thousand+18, below 77 signifies negative temperature, above divided by 2)]

D100=d100(82)=82=5/2=2.5

Although she had succeeded in exterminating a group of Goblins, the quest she accepted from the Adventurer Guild still lacked sufficient clues, and she hadn’t been able to assist the Border Count and the army.

The Curse of Silence on her wasn’t even lifted yet.

Moreover, those hundreds of Goblins were just a drop in the ocean on the vast highland.

Despite not ignoring the Snow Woman’s warning, Hero still felt she couldn’t just head back like this.

’Let’s try a little harder.’

After a brief rest, Gleaming Scale Serpent also regained its spirit, and actively crawled into the sunlight, absorbing the surrounding light to maintain its body temperature.

After all, it is also an Intermediate Magic Creature, merely killing a few night-attacking Goblins wasn’t too exhausting.

Thus, the pair, human and snake, proceeded again along the creek.

Although there was no clear target, if they don’t progress, nothing would develop either.

The Hero moved forward in the icy chill of the early morning fog, a red gem embedded in the finger claw at her waist flickering steadily, collecting the insignificant heat in the air, bringing forth a touch of warmth.

Although this was a cold highland, perhaps because there was a volcano in the center, the temperature was not too low for a Professional to bear.

The stream was still flowing gently, its icy and dark aura a bit thicker than yesterday; despite being a flowing live stream, it emanated a sense of a dead pond.

That harsh contrast made the Hero, walking alongside it, frown slightly,

Even though she still had the appearance of a human, her eyes had turned into deep blue, her instincts as a daughter of the sea made her extremely averse to this aura.

She had thought that this monotonous journey might continue for the whole day, but unexpectedly, Hero didn’t walk much further before she made a surprising discovery.

She and Gleaming Scale Serpent stopped their steps, looking at each other, both sensing something.

That familiar Magic Power made the Hero hastily step forward, and within a few steps found a massive scale in the grass.

[Status of White Snake Scale (the lower it is, the more battered it is, below 30 Magic Creatures are lurking nearby, above 90 it’s a leyline node)]

D100=d100(34)=34

It was a huge Snake Scale, large enough for the Hero to use as a shield, but the surface, which should have been as flawless as white jade, was covered in chaos, full of scars, and even traces of crystalline blue blood attached to it.

That familiar Magic Power she wouldn’t mistake came from it, mixed with the aura of pollution and destruction, changing the Hero’s expression.

This, too, was a being she had once briefly encountered, and unlike the Snow Woman with whom she merely shook hands, that being had gifted her with Magic Power, which was the first present she received after leaving home, and it was also the opportunity for her to make a new friend.

’How could this be... Sister White Snake?’

[Erosion Aura (affects the type of Volcano Monster)]

Fire: D100=d100(56)=56

Poison: D100=d100(27)=27

Dark (Pollution+30): D100+30=d100(78)+30=108

Other (Above 75 exists): D100=d100(95)=95

[Hero casts Magic: Purifying Water LV3]

Hero crouched down, careful, extending her hand, and Purifying Water formed thick gloves wrapping around her palms before touching the battered scale.

In an instant, a foul, sickly scent arose like water poured into a hot pan, but Hero, prepared, used a curtain of water to block it off.

[Successfully purified toxin 27]

However, the hot aura still made the water-made gloves warm in a moment; if touched directly, even the Hero might get burned.

Frowning, she cupped the Snake Scale with both hands and placed it under the sunlight.

In this brief contact, her Purifying Water, condensed from her Magic Power, had been forcibly altered by the Dark Element, turning just as viciously polluted as the water next to it.

She couldn’t resist this transformation, the Purifying Water she had formed with her own Magic Power...

If she drank this water or poured it over herself, even though it wouldn’t turn her into a Goblin, it surely wouldn’t be a pleasant experience.

Hero could only increase the output of her Magic Power, maintaining the purity of the Purifying Water through repeated spellcasting.

Under the scouring of Purifying Water and the sunlight, the White Snake’s scale emitted strands of black aura, and after a good while, it washed away the chaos and regained its whiteness.

Seeing the chaos cleansed, Hero leaned in and sniffed at the Snake Scale, closely inspecting the scars on it.

’Sister White Snake...what on earth happened?’

[What did the Hero discover?]

1. The aura of Illusion

2. Wind

3. The scars of Chains♛

4. Earth

5. The nausea of evil

6. Thunder

After stowing the Snake Scale in her backpack, Hero continued along the creek, now indifferent to observing the state of the stream.

The new discovery of the scale brought more information, but it also made the series of situations even more chaotic.

Hero’s lips were tightly pressed, her eyes somewhat vacant.
