Chapter 648: Becoming a Novice Adventurer Again
“Well, I’m sorry to bother you, Megumin…”
Youyou apologized to Rafe awkwardly.
Chris covered his forehead helplessly and sighed, "In the end, she didn't give up until Darkness stopped her and took her out..."
“I think it was probably because he was unable to use Explosion Magic that he was hit hard. For Megumin, Explosion Magic is not an ordinary magic.”
Youyou is still speaking up for her good friend.
Xiaolin curled his lips and said, "But it's true that Huihui has no fighting power now, right? Well, forget it, didn't you say that you wanted us to go to the labyrinth?"
He looked back at Raph.
Indicate to the other party that it is time to state their request.
Raff immediately said with a wry smile, "Yes, yes. Even beginner adventurers can explore the nearby ruins, so I think this is also the best choice for leveling up. As for the most critical materials, they are in the old underground waterway deep in the ruins. Please recycle them from there."
"Sewer?"
"Yes! The underground waterway is a building from the time when this town was built, so I think we can use spare parts."
"We just need to find it and then recycle it?"
Xiao Lin nodded.
Chris also said: "If it is a nearby ruin, it is indeed suitable. There are not many mazes we can go to now."
"Yes, that's right."
Rafe nodded as well, "I know of a few other places that might have the material, but I think it's best to go there first."
"Then our first destination is there. Let's go down to the underground sewer together and upgrade our levels."
When Xiaolin was about to leave.
Rafe suddenly spoke up: "Ah, I, I have something to ask of you...Um, can you find a few of Mr. Kobayashi's companions to investigate?"
"investigation?"
"Yes. Although the location has been determined, I cannot directly investigate other candidate locations by myself..."
He looked a little embarrassed.
Chris said, "You mean, you want someone who can investigate candidate locations?"
"Yes, yes. I'm really sorry for hindering my chance to level up..."
"Really? Then there's nothing I can do. I'll go investigate."
She offered.
Xiaolin quickly said, "Hey, Chris, is everything okay?"
Now Chris's level has also become level one, and if she is alone, she will easily encounter danger.
To be honest, Xiaolin didn't want her to act alone either.
Chris didn't seem to care.
"It's okay, it's okay. We can't separate you guys." She waved her hand and asked Rafe, "By the way, Mr. Researcher, is one person enough?"
"No, no... If possible, one more person would be fine..."
"Then let me do this task."
Hearing the researchers' words, a man suddenly appeared here.
It’s Yuken Xiangye.
"Oh, did you hear that, Edgeworth?" Kobayashi greeted him.
Mitsurugi Hibiki nodded and said, "Ah, if we act alone, I should be the one who has the strongest combat power."
He looks very proud.
It is true that among these people, his strength can be regarded as the strongest, but...
"You are level one now, and you don't have a magic sword."
Even with the magic sword, Mitsurugi Hibiki could still lose to Sato Kazuma. Kobayashi couldn't imagine how bad he would be without the magic sword.
But Yuken Hibiki still acted cool and said, "Even if I'm at a low level and don't have a magic sword, I will still gain experience in battle. I will do better than you. Although I'm worried that I can't protect Aqua-sama... Aqua-sama, please stay safe!"
"Yes, Mi Jian should also work hard." Aqua cheered him on.
"My name is Edgeworth!"
Yu Jian Xiangye felt so aggrieved that he was about to cry.
It was really hard for him.
I worked so hard for that stupid girl, but her name wasn't even remembered... It's really too miserable.
Researcher Raph spoke up, "Well, I'll explain the investigation to you two next. Can you stay for a while? Mr. Kobayashi, when you're ready, please head to the nearby ruins. I wish you all the best."
"Ah, here we go."
Xiaolin nodded, and said to Mitsurugi Hibiki and Chris who stayed behind: "You two, try your best to investigate."
After saying that, he took Youyou away.
As soon as I walked out of the room, Darkness came over.
She said to Xiaolin, "Xiaolin, we heard it outside the house too. Are we going to the sewer?"
“Ah, our first goal is to recover the materials there. We’ll go there as soon as we’re ready.” Kobayashi explained the situation to her and whispered, “So, what about Megumin, who went crazy just now?”
"Well..."
She looked at the little Loli who was pouting and sulking.
Aqua comforted her, "Hey, what's wrong, Huihui? Come on, adjust your mood. I'll make you a transforming robot using a milk carton."
"Well!"
Huihui’s heart skipped a beat.
She liked the robot that Aqua made out of milk cartons the most, but she still shook her head decisively: "No, I don't need it, hum."
Then he turned his head away and didn't look at the stupid goddess.
"W-what...?!"
Aqua didn't expect this either.
The robot seduction method, which always worked, didn't work.
Youyou also advised: "Huihui, stop being so stubborn like a child. Come back to normal soon."
"Hey, don't talk to me."
“O-Ouch!”
Huihui has completely refused to communicate.
Darkness scratched her head helplessly and said, “…Well, that’s it.”
“Meihui actually rejected that milk carton robot. This is really…”
Xiao Lin didn't expect that the little Loli would become so stubborn.
"It seems that he has suffered a mental blow. He may not be able to cheer up for a while."
Darkness also sighed helplessly.
Forget it.
Although Huihui gets angry easily, she recovers quickly. I believe that with the guidance of Aqua and Yunyun, she will be back to normal in a while.
"——Are you done talking, Mr. Kobayashi?"
At this moment, Lundberg came over.
Xiaolin greeted him.
"Oh, uncle noble."
“It’s Lord Lundberg!” Darkness quickly covered his mouth and shouted excitedly, “I know your words are harsh, but if you don’t stop now, something bad will happen one day, okay?!”
"Hahaha, some nobles will get angry, so it's better to be careful."
Lundberg didn't seem angry.
Then, he calmed down and said, "Okay, I would like to ask Mr. Kobayashi to work hard in the future, but there is something I forgot to tell you."
"…I have a bad feeling again."
"I really don't have the heart to do this, but I can't just pretend nothing happened and just speak out about it."
The more he said this, the more disturbing it became.
The stupid goddess yelled at him angrily, "What? You have nothing worse to say to us who have to enter the maze even if we drop to level one?!"
"…It's about the damage caused by the explosion magic you cast underground."
"Uh……!"
"Well!"
Aqua and Megumin both closed their mouths involuntarily.
Lundberg looked at them and said, "Part of the underground labyrinth collapsed, and at the same time, the courtyard of the mansion also collapsed. A big hole was opened, and half of the side courtyard was destroyed."
Speaking of which.
Even if they didn't go to see it, they knew it would be very tragic.
Lundberg sighed and said, "Although it is very regrettable, these must be calculated separately from Mr. Kobayashi's crimes, so... do you have enough savings to pay the compensation?"
"Well……!"
Xiaolin also suddenly became embarrassed.
They originally had a lot of money, but to be honest, that money belonged to Sato Kazuma, and he took all the money away to do business.
In this case, we can only...
“Thank you for your patronage!”
With the cordial hospitality of the shop assistant, Kobayashi and his companions walked out of the pawn shop.
Darkness also sighed and said, “What should we do now? Although we have raised the compensation, we can only pawn our equipment instead… We are only level one, have no skills, and even pawned our equipment… Although we finally got the guild to give us the extra beginner equipment, now we are no different from fledgling adventurers, right?!”
Her words made Xiaolin very embarrassed.
But unexpectedly, the perverted female knight changed the subject.
“That means that now even weak monsters can torture me at will…Ahh…!”
She continued to perform as usual.
Yunyun also said in distress: "What if everyone in the Crimson Devil Village finds out and I pawn the equipment I brought from the village? What should I do...!"
"What should I do, Xiaolin? If this goes on, I won't be able to get my ribbon back. Think of a solution quickly!" Aqua cried.
Ahhh, it’s so annoying!
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and said, "You don't have to say it all, I know. There's no point in chattering. In order to avoid the death penalty, start with what you can do. Improve your level, get the materials needed for repairs, and get back the pawned equipment..."
“We are really starting over again…”
Huihui sighed.
"Fortunately, we still have Liu Zi here, right?" Xiao Lin clapped his hands and said, "We can only rely on sneaking into the underground city. If you feel depressed, why not go to the nearby ruins?"
"I must take back everything I lost!"
Aqua yelled.
-
In order to sneak into the dungeon again and collect the materials needed by Raf, everyone decided to go to the guild first and then make plans.
The main purpose is to see if there are any suitable tasks and take them together.
Come to the guild.
The receptionist Luna said with a little embarrassment after seeing the group, "It seems like things have gotten serious again... But I'm glad you guys are okay, Mr. Kobayashi. If you want to level up, how about using the quests? You can also get the money and items you need for adventures."
"Utilize the mission?"
"Yes! The Adventurer's Guild will continue to release new quests in the future. Please check the notice board while you are adventuring."
Luna was very considerate and told Xiaolin and others a shortcut to become stronger again.
After accepting the mission at the guild, when the group was about to leave, the man with the Mohawk and overalls from Hell leaned against the doorpost again, pretending to be deep.
"Streets... This is a dungeon that points out all the roads to adventurers. Once you pass through it, the world will become wider. Take the first step."
Good guy.
He really thought Xiaolin and the others were novice adventurers.
Too lazy to argue with this little black guy, Xiaolin and his friends went to Wiz's magic item shop to see if there was anything they could afford and use.
"welcome!"
It was Vanir who greeted them, but—
“Welcome, all poor adventurers! Wiz’s magic tool shop is a gentle shop that will open its doors to customers with empty wallets. Of course, you can just look at it with envy! Hahahaha…”
Big fire!
"Aqua, do it."
"Okay, I'm on it!"
"Stop it! You stupid, useless goddess!"
With Krillin's connivance, Aqua was eager to give it a try and started fighting with Vanir.
But then they let go.
While Vanir was tidying up his clothes, he said, "The store is open as usual. Whether it's work or anything else, as long as you make good money, you can come and buy anything at any time. I'm a little worried about the stock right now... As you know, this is all due to the failure of the useless store owner. The store owner is now running around and wandering around to get the stock, and he's going through a lot of hardships."
Is he praising Wiz or scolding Wiz?
I always feel that Vanir has a lot of complaints about Wiz.
Then he added, "Oh, by the way, I'm also shopping. Come to me when you have difficulties. I promise to make a fair deal. Hahaha!"
Although Vanir said so, to be honest, Kobayashi and the others have no money and can't afford anything.
I wanted to buy some things on credit by relying on my reputation as a long-time customer, but this guy Banier refused to do so.
By the way.
Kobayashi and his friends' monthly quota of 200,000 Eris was squandered by Aqua at the beginning of the month, leaving them with no solution.
As a last resort, I had to go out of the city to complete the mission.
"We have set out, but our level has dropped. This means that we may have a hard time even with the opponent's giant toad... Be careful."
Xiao Lin gave these instructions to a few people.
Except for the perverted female knight who had strange delusions about slime, the remaining Aqua, Megumin, and Yunyun no longer wanted to recall the fear of being dominated by the giant toad's slime.
So they walked carefully along the way, towards the town's sewer.
I hope there won't be too many problems in this operation.
Xiaolin's level dropped, and his attributes also returned to zero. The Five Visions Omnipotence could not be used, the silk thread became fragile, and the strength of his body disappeared... It was really a headache.
Fortunately, Liu Zi is here.
Since she's a doll, she has no levels and no level bonuses, so if there's danger, I should be able to rely on her to get through it.
"Liu Zi, this time it depends on you."
"Yes, Lord Kobayashi and all the others, please rely on me. I will help you all become strong again."
“…Please.”
I really hope there won’t be any more accidents.
