However, the surrounding heroes and believers were all stunned.
"Sword Hero... you learned magic just from one glance?!"
"Holy crap! I spent days trying to get even a single drop of water out of the basin!"
"As expected of the Sword Hero! Truly a genius!!"
Amidst the initial surprise, some noticed something amiss.
"Several days? Didn't the book only arrive today?"
"My esteemed hero, the transport of the magic book was entirely handled by me, without the assistance of any of you heroes. That's why the speed varies depending on the region."
"So that's how it is..."
……luxuriant
I went to Ruby's studio and knocked on the door. The doll "Rin" opened it silently.
After passing through the first door, the second door was also opened by the bell; it wasn't locked from the inside. (Ling)
Looking up, Annie saw Ruby sitting cross-legged on the ground with her back to the door, fiddling with something, her long hair, which usually dragged on the floor, draped behind her.
Beside her lay a headless corpse... an unfinished doll that resembled a corpse.
Because apart from the lack of organs that express sexual characteristics, it is entirely the image of a human body with delicate skin and tender flesh.
Besides Ruby, there were two finished dolls lying nearby, simply covered with two white sheets...
It also looks like there are two corpses lying there.
Annie silently leaned closer to look, and Ruby was sticking goblin skin onto the doll's head.
Perhaps because it was the final stage, all the other dolls were in standby mode.
"Is it almost done?" Annie asked.
Ruby's movements did not stop at all, as if she had not noticed Annie's presence at all, and she did not answer his question.
Immediately afterwards, Annie saw Ruby carefully attach the cut goblin skins together.
Instead of using needle and thread, they used glue, which is more convenient.
The glue in this world is made from the sticky secretions of some kind of magical beast, and it's a fairly common substance.
The moment Ruby finished attaching the goblin skins together, a flash of white light appeared in her hand, and a carving knife materialized.
When the carving knife was placed on the goblin skin on the doll's head, a wonderful scene immediately appeared.
The area touched by the carving knife changed from the goblin's gray-green skin to a human-like skin color, and the color spread outwards at an extremely rapid speed.
Above Ruby's head, which was now closed by An Yi, the blue magic bar was also shortening at an extremely rapid pace.
The Goblin King's skin is currently a high-level material for her, requiring a large amount of magic to complete the [Flesh Transformation].
Ruby's magic was depleted, and a "head" covered in skin but without eyes or hair appeared in her hand.
"Phew..." Ruby let out a long breath, then turned around abruptly, "Dinner's here!!"
"Wow! What are you doing here?!"
Lu turned around and saw An Yi looking down at the doll's head in her hand.
Ruby quickly hugged the doll's head and hid it in her arms, saying hastily;
"I'm so sorry!! It'll be ready soon! Just a little longer!!"
"At least wait until I finish making this doll before I atone with my death!!"
2. Annie: "I'm not here to rush you."
Ruby breathed a sigh of relief and patted her flat chest: "Ha...you should have said so earlier..."
"Not urgent."
He knew that Ruby would be working at full speed these past two days to fulfill her promise to make three dolls in three days.
In other words, within the time it took to say two sentences, "Number One" had already come over with two baskets of food.
Ruby watched as the dolls quickly set out the food in front of her and said to An Yi, "Anyway! I'm going to eat now! It'll be ready in a minute!"
After saying that, she turned her back and lowered her head to eat.
"I was so scared... I was terrified!"
On the first day, she perfectly created her first doll, and seeing that the progress was going well, she took a nice nap.
However, when I woke up, most of the next day had already passed, and I hurriedly started making the second doll.
After working for twenty consecutive hours, and seeing that it was already the third day, the progress of the third doll was still less than halfway done, so I sent a message to An Yi in the middle of the night.
Ruby ate with her back to Annie while grinning awkwardly.
If she hadn't slept for so long, she probably wouldn't have had to rush.
She either doesn't sleep at all, or she sleeps excessively day and night.
You might wake up in the morning, at noon, at night, or even in the middle of the night.
Especially after becoming a hero, you are not afraid of your body. You can sleep when you want to sleep and not sleep when you don't want to sleep.
And you can study human puppets every day without spending time showering or sleeping! ↓》san¥¤○☆四〗″°∶
For her, this is the perfect state!
but……
Her condition was arguably the worst after being assigned a time-limited task!
Fortunately, An Yi didn't pursue the matter further.
Ruby felt apologetic in her heart.
"I'm sorry...! Mr. Carl is so supportive of me! He cares about me so much! Yet I still couldn't complete the task he assigned me on time!"
I'm so sorry!
"this is for you."
At that moment, An Yi suddenly placed the "Basic Magic for Heroes" in her hand next to Ruby's eyes.
Ruby paused, holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other: "What is this...?"
Annie: "A gift."
No, it's just a little joke, like picking up a flyer from the roadside and then tossing it to a friend as a "gift".
"what."
Ruby, with food still in her mouth, stared blankly up at Annie with her mouth slightly open.
Seeing Ruby stop moving, the dolls automatically carried out their previous instructions and began to expressionlessly collect the unfinished food into the basket.
"Ah..." Ruby looked up at An Yi, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, which then spilled uncontrollably down her cheeks and dripped into the bowl.
Surprisingly...!
They actually brought me a gift?!
I clearly wasted time! I clearly didn't finish the task on time!
An Yi: "?"
"Is the food bad?"
"Waaah...! No!" Ruby wiped her tears forcefully with her sleeve. "It's food that got in my eyes!"
An Yi: "?"
That really hurts.
"I...I...I won't let Mr. Carl down! I'll do my best!!" Ruby swallowed the food in her mouth and cried out.
An Yi: "...Hmm."
What happened suddenly?
He was a little confused; had he done something wrong again?
Was it just a little joke that made Ruby feel like she was bullying her?
Thinking of this, An Yi suddenly realized; Liu
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. If you don't like something next time, just tell me," he said.
Ruby's head buzzed.
I'm...sorry?!
It was my fault for giving you a time limit. If you don't like (me giving you tasks) in the future, just tell me!
Ruby burst into tears: "Waaah—!! I'm the one who should be apologizing!!"
An Yi: "..."
what happened again?
Ruby put down her bowl, knelt down facing Anie, and begged, "Waaaaah—Mr. Carl, I was wrong!! Please don't despise me!!"
I will never do it again! I have no complaints whatsoever! Please use me as you wish!!
An Yi: "..."
It has appeared that people who don't often socialize tend to overexert themselves.
That won't do. It will make others feel pressured to be friends with you.
This feeling is too heavy.
Most people would feel a little uncomfortable in this situation, but An Yi is different...
Because! There are similar people in the team!
The puppet behind her silently took away Ruby's bowl as well.
"Let's calm down for now," Annie said.
He had only made a small joke, but Ruby felt that she had been bullied, so she started to cry. While he was apologizing, Ruby felt that things had gotten so bad that they might not be able to be friends anymore, so she became very sad.
