Chapter 635: Everlasting Summer Temple
“Hahaha, the atmosphere is so lively.”
While they were enjoying getting new magic stones, Chris came over with a grin on his face.
"Yo, Chris."
"After a little investigation, I found out that there seemed to be other magic stones."
“Is this true?!”
Megumin and Darkness looked at her in surprise.
Aqua also excitedly rode on Xiaolin's back and shouted to Chris: "What! Tell me, tell me!"
"Waaaaaah! You drunkard, stop riding on others!" Kobayashi shook his back but did not throw her off.
Darkness followed suit, "I want to know too. Please tell us the details, Chris."
"Hehehe, let me explain."
Chris sat down at their seat with a look on her face that said, "I have big news." As the others watched eagerly, she slowly began to explain.
"First, there are four magic stones that are clearly recorded. This can be confirmed in the ancient documents in the Royal Library."
Royal Library?
I see. Can you confirm this in the book?
However, neither Xiaolin nor the other members of the team really like reading, and naturally they are not clear about the knowledge in the books.
Chris continued, “Also, words seem to appear on the stones.”
"Um... one, two, three, four?"
"It seems that the original magic stone is five."
While the stupid goddess was counting on her fingers to confirm the number, the highly intelligent Crimson Demon Megumin had already spoken out the initial number of magic stones.
Aren’t there already five of them?
Under everyone's suspicious gaze, Chris said: "Yes, there is no record of the magic stone found by Miss Aqua. In addition, in other records, there is a saying that there are seven magic stones in total, so perhaps..."
"Does it mean there are seven more magic stones?"
"Seven!? Is this true?!"
Aqua was so excited that the food in her mouth flew everywhere.
"Wait, Aqua, stop talking while you're eating."
Chris waved his hands.
"But, seven! Seven! If we sell them all, wouldn't that be 70 million?!" Aqua was extremely excited.
"Hey, stop messing around."
Xiao Lin held her mouth, asking her to be more obedient, and lectured her, "What if someone else heard about the magic stone again? Have you forgotten about Mitsurugi Hibiki?"
"oh oh……"
Aqua closed her mouth guiltily and looked around furtively, but this made her seem even weirder.
I really can't stand her.
"Well, that's it. The number of magic stones is five to seven."
"Five to seven?"
"I don't know why, but the documents say it's buried deep in the labyrinth."
I have to say, Chris brought good news.
"maze……"
Darkness nodded and said, “I see. Does that mean the search for the magic stone will continue for a while?”
"It's on fire!"
Megumin swung her cape and shouted, “I must practice my imagination to control the powerful magic in my hands.”
Since the Crimson Demon girl with mental problems was well-known, Kobayashi did not stop her from being a chuunibana.
Chris said with a smile: "It seems very interesting. Let me help you later, okay?"
"Oh, of course. We need intelligence too." Kobayashi agreed.
Chris's true identity is the goddess Eris, and her source of information is very mysterious, so it is safe to rely on her for help. You don't even have to worry about her betraying you like Vanir did.
"Thank you. If possible, let me join the team."
"Ah, I'd love to. As long as you tell me, I can always let you join the team and replace this useless goddess."
Xiaolin said with a grin.
Aqua yelled in grievance: "Wait, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said! Apologize, apologize quickly! Even if you are Xiaolin, you can't say that to me!"
"hehe."
“Waaaaaa——!”
The two people in the guild were fighting with each other without paying any attention to the people around them.
Huihui was also curious and asked, “But why is there only one light spot in Aqua’s magic stone detector?”
“Yeah, it’s not bad to be able to see five or seven spots of light from the beginning,” Darkness said.
“That’s strange to say.”
After thinking about it carefully, Xiaolin said, "Could it be that the other magic stones appeared far away, and the magic stone detector in Aqua's hand could not detect far away? Or, this world no longer exists?"
“After all, magic stones are consumables. If all the magic stones inside are used up, they will turn into ordinary stones and cannot be detected.” Huihui said.
The value of this magic stone lies in the large amount of magic power contained in it. If the magic power is consumed, it will no longer be valuable and will be almost the same as an ordinary stone.
"…It seems like this will be harder than I thought."
Xiaolin sighed.
Although I am interested in more magic stones, it would not be worth it if I wasted too much energy on it, so I simply gave up looking for other magic stones.
Just when he was thinking this.
"What? Are you talking about the magic stone detector?" Aqua came up with a stupid look on her face, then took out the detector in her hand, and was stunned for a moment after looking at the light spot on it.
"Huh? I say, everyone, look, look!"
She brought the magic stone detector to everyone and motioned them to look at the panel on it.
"Ok?"
"Oh, a new light."
Darkness’ eyes lit up.
Xiao Lin was surprised and asked, "Is it a reaction mechanism that if we find one, another one will appear? Are we trying to tell us that we have to find them one by one?"
"But this reaction... is quite weak."
Aqua fiddled with the magic stone detector, looking unconfident.
Darkness whispered, “The closer you are, the stronger the reaction. So…”
"Are you going somewhere far away?"
Huihui agreed.
Xiaolin scratched his head and said, "Although I know it is outside Axel, but... where is this?"
Darkness carefully looked at the terrain marked on the magic stone detector and said uncertainly: "Over there... I remember it should be in the temple."
"Yes, it's the temple of Ever Summer."
Know-it-all Chris nodded and acknowledged Darkness's statement.
"The Temple of Changxia?" Xiaolin frowned and thought carefully for a while, then shook his head and said, "Where is this place? I've never heard of it."
"Ah, Xiaolin hasn't been there yet?"
"It's quite a distance away, and it's very hot, so it's better to prepare well."
Chris instructed.
Huihui continued, “Come to think of it, I heard it was as hot as hell. Visitors were dehydrated, and dried-up corpses were seen wandering around the temple.”
"It's not raining, and the weather is hot and dry. Some say you'll turn into dried goods if you're not careful." Aqua continued.
If Chris was asking for something, then the two of them were just pure intimidation.
"Hard stuff..."
Darkness blushed.
Xiao Lin thought to himself, "It seems like this isn't a place that can be easily visited... Well, let's take a good rest today and go to Wiz's store to buy some things tomorrow before going out again."
"Got it." X5
Everyone responded in unison.
Silent all night.
Early the next morning, Kobayashi got up with the help of Liu Zi and stretched his body.
The next magic stone seems to be in a place called the Temple of Everlasting Summer, which seems to be a maze in the desert. What kind of place is it?
There's nothing you can do about the heat.
If only there wasn't any danger.
"Haha... Good morning, everyone..."
When I came to the living room, I found Aqua and the others were already dressed and ready to go, looking very impatient.
"It's too late, Xiaolin! Come on, let's go!"
Huihui shouted.
Ok?
Xiao Lin asked curiously, "What's wrong? Huihui, you are so motivated. What happened?"
“Haha, do you want to find the magic stone quickly?” Darkness smiled gently.
Hui Hui seemed to have her inner thoughts exposed. She immediately denied it with a red face, “No, no! I definitely didn’t jump up because I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep, huh!”
But her hypocrisy has exposed her inner thoughts.
"Are you a kid before the outing?"
Kobayashi rolled his eyes.
"...Huh?" He looked around and didn't see the stupid goddess. He was a little curious: "Is Aqua still sleeping?"
"No, it seems like something happened, so I'm leaving the mansion first."
"Something's up? What's that?"
Hearing Darkness say this, Xiao Lin suddenly felt strange. That guy didn't seem like the kind of person who would not do anything without a profit.
"He said he was going to do some shopping and would meet up with us later."
"We were supposed to go to Wiz's store to buy something, so what were we going to buy specifically?"
Kobayashi just felt that Aqua was doing something unnecessary.
...Well, never mind.
"Okay, let's go."
"Yes."
"Let's go!"
The three of them headed towards Wiz's magic item shop.
Pushing open the door, the pleasant sound of wind chimes was heard, and Kobayashi walked briskly into the magic tool shop.
"welcome--"
“Welcome… Ah, Mr. Kobayashi, Ms. Darkness and Ms. Megumin, welcome to you too.”
When Vanir and Wiz saw them coming, they immediately changed their businesslike smiles into genuine happy smiles.
"What are you doing here today?"
"Ah, I want to see some desert gear."
Although Vanir probably guessed why they came, he was still considerate enough to ask, acting like a shop assistant.
——Don’t speak actively.
Wiz tilted her head cutely and said, "Desert equipment?"
"I see, you are preparing for the trip to the Temple of Eversummer." Vanir said with a look of insight.
This guy……
He just said that he would not take the initiative to spy on guests, but now he does it.
But this guy really knows everything.
Vanir nodded and said, "It's right to consider new equipment when going to the Temple of Eversummer. It's a place that will hurt your eyes if you go there."
"real or fake?"
"Of course! I just happened to want to clear out the useless stock in the store, so feel free to buy them."
"We will buy the necessary things even if you don't tell us... Wait a minute, what did you say?"
Xiaolin suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
But Vanir grinned and said, "What? I was still wondering how this poor shopkeeper can sell the goods he bought to you."
"This guy doesn't hide his true thoughts."
"No, my weakness is that I'm too honest! Well, you can look around and buy as much as you want!"
"...I always feel like you have bad intentions. Never mind. I'll just take a look first."
Kobayashi started to pick out items from Wiz's list.
The main thing, of course, is something that can be used in the desert.
Darkness looked at the list and said, “It seems that there are a lot more convenient items.”
"That devil must have bought it." Xiaolin looked at the list and said, "Other than that, it's still full of items of unknown purpose."
This is also Wiz's interest.
Sudden--
"Oh oh oh——"
Huihui exclaimed with bright eyes.
Xiao Lin asked curiously: "What's wrong, did you find anything?"
"Xiao Lin Xiao Lin, I really care about this super instant powerful magic gem!" She pointed at something on the list and shouted.
"Haha, so you really care?"
Wiz smiled in agreement and said cheerfully, "No matter how low your magic power is, it can be restored to full in one go. It's a very interesting thing!"
"So, if I use this, it's possible to cast explosion magic in succession?!"
"That's right! It can fire as many rounds as you want. That's why the price is not low."
“Ohhhhh——!”
Huihui looked as if she really wanted it.
Kobayashi was also surprised and asked, “A permanent recovery item? That’s really convenient. So, Wiz, what’s the price?”
Wiz's magic items are all very powerful, but they all have problems.
"There's just one problem."
With an awkward smile on her face, she said, "The result of increasing the recovery effect to the limit is that your magic power will be empty within a month after use until it is fully recovered."
"Isn't it the coolest thing to say that there are risks after use?!"
Hui Hui didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and even thought it was very cool. She shouted, "Xiao Lin, please buy this!"
“I’m not buying it!”
Xiao Lin held her head and cursed, "What's the point if you can't move for a month?"
"Why?! Isn't it the best that we can cast explosion magic no matter how many there are?!"
"This price is too high!"
If it were any other magic, it would be fine, but explosion magic not only draws away magic power, but also physical strength.
You'll be a waste for a whole month.
"Besides, can you bear to live without Explosion Magic for a month?"
"Hmm! Indeed, if I can't use explosion magic for a month, it's a bit..."
Huihui didn't use Explosion Magic for two and a half years in SAO, so she didn't want to go back to that. Therefore, she couldn't go without Explosion Magic for a month!
But in the end, he bought it.
