Chapter 783 Everyone is happy
"Hey!"
Just when Xiaolin was about to wonder if this guy understood what was going on, Huihui chuckled.
"I'm just kidding." She spread her hands, as if to say that you really have no sense of humor, and said, "It's not just the slate. Magic items don't have value descriptions, so users don't know how to use them, right?"
“That’s right. The nobles didn’t figure out how to use the slate.” Kobayashi confirmed Huihui’s thoughts and said, “It’s certain that the previous owner insisted on not telling us how to use the slate.”
“Is that why the nobles lost their temper and sentenced her to death…” Darkness couldn’t help but say this sadly.
Although Xiaolin felt a little sad for his fiancée, he still shook his head and said, "And this guy doesn't know how to use the slate. Right, you."
"Yes, that's it." The man in black robe who was asked nodded gently.
I'm so grateful that he admitted it so readily after becoming honest. I think he will confess his mistakes in the future. It would be even better if we can expose the evil deeds of the noble.
Aqua pouted her lips in dissatisfaction and asked, "How do you know? Did you use mind reading? Wow, that's too bad."
"No way!" Xiao Lin yelled at the stupid goddess who took a step back, "The Five Visions' omnipotent ability was not used. Besides, didn't this guy just say that he didn't know how to use it?"
"is it?"
“Did you say…?”
Not only Aqua, but even the man in black robe seemed unsure about what he had said and looked confused... Even though he couldn't see his face clearly, he was still very confused.
Xiao Lin did not show off deliberately, but said: "Didn't you say, 'You guys did a great job in using the slate and collecting materials'?"
“Indeed, indeed, it seems that he said this…” The man in black robe thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Xiao Lin continued: "Regarding the usage and the words, they are so small that you can't see them without a magnifying glass. If this guy investigates carefully, he should not only know the usage, but also the existence of the curse."
“In other words, not knowing about the curse means that he also doesn’t know about its existence…” Darkness continued his words and nodded as if she had understood something.
That’s right, it was because of this that Xiaolin discovered the flaw in his words.
"So I know that he definitely doesn't know about the curse."
This is also how the black-robed man's personality was reversed, turning him into the honest person he is now. In the eyes of others, this seems to be a bargain for him, but for Kobayashi, who has personally experienced the change in his personality, this is a very severe punishment. Moreover, the interrogation of the Kingdom Prosecutor Sena has not yet begun, so I think he will receive a more severe punishment.
Aqua scratched her head and said with a silly look on her face: "Well... although I don't quite understand, let's just leave it at that. The matter has been resolved satisfactorily, and everything will be fine!"
She really doesn't want to use her brain at all, what an idiot.
"Aqua Aqua, you forgot something important." Huihui pulled the clothes of the excited stupid goddess and looked at her hesitantly.
"What's going on?"
"There is no evidence to prove our innocence now."
"Ah! Yes, there is also this matter!"
Aqua suddenly yelled.
There is currently no way to prove that they were not the ones who stole the gems, so if that damn noble continues to pursue responsibility, it will only cause them a lot of trouble, and they may not be able to punish that guy.
At this time, the man in black robe raised his hand and said, "Well, regarding this, I will just turn myself in..."
"Can I believe... you?" Aqua looked at him with some disbelief. After all, he hated them so much just now, and now he suddenly turned around and said that he would surrender because of them. It was still hard to accept.
"Don't worry." The Kingdom's prosecutor, Senna, pushed up her glasses and said, "I will take responsibility for what happens next."
She had a serious look on her face. She thought that in addition to these incidents, the matter of the noble brutally murdering the black-robed man's fiancée would also be thoroughly investigated.
"Oh, that's up to you."
Xiaolin waved his hand, trusting her very much.
Aqua heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Ah, it's finally over..."
"Well, this way we can go back to our daily lives." Youyou also looked happy.
"Hey, Xiaolin." Aqua suddenly said in a flattering manner: "Can we have some fun today, right?"
"Yeah, let's go to the pub then."
Kobayashi did not refuse Aqua's request. Instead, he said that after looking at TPO, they should go to the pub to celebrate and relax. No matter what, they have suffered a lot of torture in these days.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after finally being freed from this hell.
When they were about to leave, the man in black robe suddenly stopped them, "Well, one last request..."
“What are you doing?” Huihui replied unhappily.
The man in black robe said: "About that stone slab..."
Afterwards, he told Kobayashi and the others some information about the stone slab that they didn't know.
--the next day--
"Ahhh, good morning!"
When Kobayashi got up, Aqua and the others were already making noise in the living room of the mansion. It would be more accurate to say that he was woken up by these people.
"Well, good morning."
"It's not morning yet."
"Xiaolin, you're just in time. Help me, Aqua is stuck on the sofa and won't get out."
Only then did I see Aqua putting her head on the sofa, like a quail, and not coming out. I didn't know what this guy was doing.
"Because - I was beaten half to death before, can't I just roll around on the sofa?" Aqua said lazily, "I'm already exhausted and finally escaped from the hell of part-time job. Please let me play for a hundred years, thank you."
“No way!” Huihui grabbed Aqua’s arm and yelled, “We’ve been working part-time to collect materials and haven’t been taking any risks!”
Then she patted her chest.
"Come on, please remember what our job is!"
"What is that...?"
“Please think about it carefully!”
The stupid goddess didn’t even want to use her brain anymore. She just looked at Huihui foolishly, with even disgusting saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth.
This guy is becoming more and more useless.
“Alright, alright, Huihui.” Darkness calmed the irritable little girl and said, “I’ll go make some tea so you can calm down. Xiaolin, do you want some?”
"Oh, please make me a cup of black tea."
"I'm going to help!"
When Darkness went to the kitchen to make tea, Yunyun quickly followed.
"what……"
Huihui sighed deeply and said, “I almost want to cast explosion magic somewhere other than the rocks and the lake…”
"This statement is very dangerous, and the consequences it brings are also very dangerous, so I reject it." Kobayashi refuted her without giving her face.
"Madonosuke, you should understand my feelings, right?"
Huihui teased her pet.
“But if we keep going like this, we’ll definitely become more and more inert.” Xiaolin agreed with Huihui’s desire to take risks and said, “Okay, let’s take on some small tasks tomorrow.”
“Really? We agreed on this!?” Huihui said excitedly. She felt uncomfortable after not releasing explosion magic for such a long time, so she was very happy to hear these words.
And the one who is unhappy is the stupid goddess.
Aqua said reluctantly: "Eh——, I'm not going."
Thoughts of resistance were palpable.
"Even if I have to drag you over, I will drag you over!" But Xiao Lin was determined not to allow her to be willful.
At this time, Darkness and Youyou came back.
"The tea is ready. Here you go."
"Be careful of the burn."
"Oh, thank you."
"Thank you."
The two handed them each a cup of steaming hot black tea, and at this moment, for some reason, the Crusader of the team actually laughed.
Huihui asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Darkness? You’re smiling happily.”
“Ah, um… how should I put it.” Darkness scratched her cheek and said, “I feel like my normal life is back.”
She smiled somewhat happily again.
Xiao Lin stretched his legs on the sofa and said lazily, "For me, this kind of ordinary life is the best. Also, you guys, don't pick up strange props on the roadside in the future."
“It’s not easy to find a powerful item like the black slate.” Huihui shook her head. “My luck is not as good as yours, Xiaolin.”
No, no, no, it’s because of bad luck that I always get involved in messes.
“Slate.” Darkness groaned and said, “Xiaolin, there is something I am concerned about—”
"what happened?"
"As for the curse carved on the stone slab, only that part is new, and there is no sign of deterioration. I can't figure out why that is."
"Well... although it's just my guess..."
Kobayashi pinched his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "It was the previous owner of the stone slab, that man's fiancée, who did it. When the nobles tried to take the stone slab away, they cast a curse on it and carved some words on it."
“Want to take revenge on the nobles… I understand her feelings.” Huihui nodded.
"No, that's not the case." Xiao Lin shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then the content of the curse is wrong. For example, if you use it, you will die... or something like that."
“Now that you put it that way… it’s true.” Huihui nodded seriously, agreeing with what she said.
Xiao Lin was also curious and asked, "I say, Darkness. Although I don't quite understand the invisible rules of this world, after the heirloom is taken away, will people try their best to get it back?"
“Yes.” Darkness nodded and said, “Some people even believe that treasures passed down from generation to generation are more important than one’s own life. So, it is understandable that the prisoner made such a request at the end.”
"I see." Xiao Lin thought it through and smiled, "Then, this is how it should be."
He began to explain the whole story to his puzzled companions.
“First of all, if the nobles lost Sydney’s past to the slate, they might be able to get it back, so she was adamant about not telling them how to use it.
Then, the curse is insurance. Even if you see the small text and know how to use the stone tablet, you may hesitate or even give up using the stone tablet after seeing the curse.
Even if they knew how to use it, the nobles would not use the slate in a bad way.
If you change your mind, you may return the slate.
Then I may succumb to fear and tell others how to use it.
Even so, the curse would make the nobles change their minds and return the slate...
Well, the above explanations are far-fetched.”
Xiaolin spread his hands.
Although everyone said it was a far-fetched explanation, everyone knew that this was most likely the course of events, so they nodded seriously.
"I say, Xiaolin."
"What's wrong, Aqua? Are you finally willing to leave the sofa?"
Kobayashi looked at the stupid goddess who came up to him with a fawning look on her face.
Aqua said with evil intentions: "The slate should be usable once more, right?"
"Yeah, it seems so." Xiao Lin nodded and said, "If the curse really falls on that black-robed man, then it can indeed be used once again without any side effects... What do you want to say?"
"Then make a piece of clothing that can be sold for a good price, like a piece of clothing that has a very powerful effect!"
Aqua said excitedly.
This man was completely obsessed with money and actually wanted to make a fortune by using the stone slab.
Huihui immediately refused and shouted, “No, no, no, we should make the most of the stone slab and make a legendary outfit!”
Indeed, if you have to choose, this one is obviously more useful.
Just like the Armor of Angry that was made later, it was a very powerful magic item, much more powerful than a divine weapon, and it could obviously be a help to them.
By the way, the armor is currently in the warehouse, waiting for them to use in the battle against the Demon King.
“By the way, what does Darkness think?”
"I am content with the armor and clothes I have now. You four shall discuss their final use."
Darkness shook her head.
She was the type who was content with what she had. No, considering that only she could wear the Armor of Angry, she didn't want more.
"Where's Yoyo?"
"Um...I...this..."
She seemed to have a hard time deciding and thought about it in great distress. To be honest, it was a huge burden for her to make such a difficult choice.
Kobayashi also decided to think about it carefully. There was still a chance to make clothes without any side effects, so he had to make good use of it.
After all, I had an agreement with that guy to use up the effect as soon as possible and return the slate to its owner's home.
That's right, this is what the black-robed man asked them last night, and Xiaolin and the others also promised seriously that they would definitely return the slate to his fiancee's family. Anyway, they had no use for it, and they were not so obsessed with the clothes. If you think about it carefully, they worked hard because of the clothes.
Then several days passed.
The man in black robe was thrown into jail, and the noble was escorted to the royal city for trial for maliciously injuring civilians. This is cause for celebration.
