Chapter 655: Revisiting the Crimson Devil Village

"The Kraken is entangled with the statue of the goddess of the Axis Cult... Could it be embedded in the statue?"

"Because it is the Water Magic Stone. Like precious gems, it is something dedicated to the gods."

Darkness and Chris discussed it.

Aqua suddenly said, "Ah, I know! Because it is embedded in the statue, it naturally came into my hands! Because I am the goddess of the Axis Cult, Aqua! This temple was also built for me. It was destiny from the beginning!"

"Ah... yes, yes."

Kobayashi said casually.

To be honest, this kind of thing is fine no matter what, it is also great to save the effort of looking for it. The most important thing is to find the Water Magic Stone and leave this town.

Let's go back to Axel quickly.

"Squid...squid...squid...ah."

"Hey, useless goddess, you seemed to say "ah" just now."

Kobayashi was a little surprised to see her like this.

Aqua pondered for a moment and said, "When I was pressed by the squid, I remembered... Alcanretia's new specialty, grilled squid?"

"What?"

"Just said, grilled squid?"

"Haha, you actually said this boring joke twice?"

Kobayashi was speechless.

Aqua was immediately unhappy, and she shouted loudly: "You, what did you say?! This is an important slogan that the Axis believers came up with in the past! In order to revitalize Alcanretia, the Axis believers once made fresh monster squids and grilled squid made by Kraken into specialties for a while!"

"Hey, specialty?"

"Although it's a bit popular...but the consumption of monsters raised in the lake and tourists is not balanced..."

She seemed to be really thinking about the feasibility of this method.

The most important thing is——

"When I was helpless, the lake overflowed... The temple was also submerged underground... After the lake calmed down, it was completely invisible, and the grilled squid was abandoned. I thought the environment had changed, but it turned out that everyone was hiding in the temple..."

"You... that..."

That is to say.

Isn't it because of the Axis believers that the squid lives here? !

"You've gone too far, this is a common thing."

"Isn't it your fault that the believers failed?!"

In the end, it's all your fault!

To be honest, even if he had underestimated the Axis believers enough, they could always come up with a lower limit, which really made people dumbfounded.

Leaving the Axis temple that sank into the lake.

Delivered the magic stone obtained to Raph.

"Oh, oh, oh... this is... how beautiful! It's like the ripples of the water, crystallizing like a radiance! If I use this magic power, I can restart the fluid control inside... In this way, the operation will be no problem...!"

Researcher Laf's eyes showed an obsessive look.

He looked at the prismatic magic stone in his hand, as if he saw a peerless beauty, and his face kept rubbing back and forth on it, feeling the temperature and magic power of the magic stone.

It's that strange way of excitement again...

Although I already know his nature, I still can't accept it. As expected, I still have to keep a distance.

"I say, can we continue to repair it now?"

Xiao Lin wanted to finish it as soon as possible.

Researcher Laf seemed to suddenly wake up, and hurriedly nodded and said: "Ah, yes, yes, of course! Thank you for giving me such good materials! I will start repairing it right away, and the remaining materials will be discussed tomorrow!"

"It seems that the second material has been found, Mr. Xiao Lin."

Noble Lengber appeared here.

He said hello to Xiao Lin.

Kobayashi responded and nodded, "Yeah. You've worked so hard at the same level as a fledgling adventurer, so there's nothing to complain about, right?"

"Of course. It would be great if you could atone for your sins. I support you, and you should do your best next time."

"I would do my best even if you didn't say it."

He waved his hand and said goodbye to the two.

"... Hehe, yes, do your best."

Lundberg said meaningfully.

Although Kobayashi felt strange, he did not ask on the spot, but left the mansion.

Come to the Adventurer's Guild.

"... That uncle is suspicious."

"What's wrong, Kobayashi, you have an ugly expression."

Seeing him lost in thought, Aqua asked curiously, "With this expression, you can't enjoy the food and drinks to your heart's content. Ah, I'll take the fried frog."

"Hey, don't take my fried frog..."

Kobayashi sighed helplessly.

Aqua asked as she ate the fried frog legs she snatched: "Isn't it a pity that the food is cold? So, is there anything that bothers you?"

"No, should I say I bother you..."

Kobayashi thought for a moment and said: "That noble uncle seems to have some intentions."

"Aren't all nobles like this?"

"... Well, yes."

The nobles Kobayashi met in this world are all more despicable than the other. The only noble who can be called a good one is Princess Alice.

It would be fine if he didn't have any other intentions, but if he did...

She glanced at the quiet puppet maid beside her.

When the time comes, let Ryuko kill him.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but think maliciously.

"Ah haha, it feels so lively. This is how I feel when I return to Axel."

Chris greeted them cheerfully.

Xiao Lin also said hello.

"Hey, Chris, Alcanredia has worked hard on collecting intelligence."

"Well, thank you for your hard work. I'm still thinking about what to do if I don't collect the information about the maze."

"I didn't expect it to be an underwater temple. In that case, no matter how hard I look, I won't be able to find it."

"It's true. I really feel that the world is full of incredible things."

Chris smiled.

No, no, no, her true form is the goddess Eris after all, there is no way she doesn’t know about this... No, she really doesn’t seem to know.

After all, she didn't know anything about the squid.

Chris asked again: "Xiao Lin, do you know why the lake in Alcanredia split? You don't really think that the Axis cultist used the power of the goddess, do you?"

"That's impossible! That's all I know."

After all, after they parted from the lake after the Axis cultist performed, the other two Axis cultists whispered the truth of the matter, so the power of the goddess is absolutely impossible!

Besides, the stupid goddess is with them, how can she share her divine power with others?

"I've roughly guessed it. It's probably the power of that magic stone."

What does it mean to infer?

I think you have found some information in the heaven again, and then convey it to us?

Xiao Lin curled his lips.

Chris continued: "The relic being repaired now uses the same type of magic stone, right? It's called the water magic stone? Moreover, just a few days ago, the relic released powerful magic. Due to the huge magic power It flows into the magic stone and resonates with the same type of magic stone, and the magic stone in the water temple is activated."

"Did the lake separate because of the explosion magic?"

"It's possible. That phenomenon also started a few days ago. When you think about it, doesn't it make sense?"

Hey, if you say that...

Is there any connection between that relic and the goddess temple in the lake, so after the explosive magic explosion, the temple there opened automatically?

No, no, no, is it possible?

Axel and Alcanredia are far apart, so how can they be connected?

But what Chris said makes sense...

"Well, I seem to understand but I don't seem to understand. My head, my head is going to explode..."

"Hahaha, don't worry so much."

Chris patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "But this is just my speculation, and I don't know the truth. If the magic stone leaves and the magic disappears, the temple will sink to the bottom of the lake soon. . Before that happens, I want to explore the treasure again!”

"Indeed, I'm very curious."

"Right? Even such a precious magic stone is used. What is that relic? It's really curious."

"Ahh..."

I don’t know what that relic is.

But Xiaolin didn't have any good premonitions.

Even so, in order not to be sentenced to death, I must obey Uncle Lundberg's words.

For now...

A glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Lin's eyes.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, come and have a drink together! Come on, come on! Flowers, birds, wind and moon!"

At some point, Aqua was already standing on the guild table, using the flowers, birds, and winds to great effect.

She was obviously not willing to ask for it when she was in the temple, but this time she used it casually. She is really... very good at reading the atmosphere!

Well, let’s indulge tonight!

————

"Haha... I'm so sleepy... I was so high yesterday that I had a lot of fun with other adventurers until midnight."

"Are you messing around with the banquet show again?"

Noon the next day.

The stupid goddess finally woke up and stretched herself very lazily, looking like she was enjoying herself.

Youyou said with a smile: "Miss Aqua is very popular. Everyone who watched Miss Aqua's performance stood up and applauded."

"Well, of course. Watching my performance makes people cry with joy."

Aqua held her head up proudly.

I don’t understand why she is so arrogant, she is just a party goddess.

this morning.

Researcher Raff came to contact us.

——Bring Miss Yuyou and Miss Megumin to the research room.

Although he didn't know what he wanted to do, Xiaolin still planned to take the two of them, but for some reason Huihui was not seen early in the morning, so he had no choice but to take Yuyou there first.

Huihui said with some curiosity: "Huihui hasn't been at home since morning. It's really rare."

"It's been like this every day lately. I'll be back before noon, but I don't seem to be in good spirits." Aqua also said.

Although I don't know what she is doing, it is not something that needs special discussion. Maybe she is still worried about the explosion magic.

"Well, that's it."

Xiao Lin looked at Yuyou and said, "Hui Hui is not here today, please stay with us for a while."

"Okay, okay! Of course!"

Youyou looked quite excited.

I-I'm needed by this team now!

You have to work hard...!

She secretly clenched her fists.

"Then, let's go!" Youyou said loudly, "I will definitely come in handy today!"

Yoyo seems to be inexplicably motivated?

Forget it, as long as she's here.

Then the group came to Raf's research institute.

"Huan, welcome, I've been waiting for you."

With a sneer on his face, Rafe trotted over to greet them. To be honest, he was a little too shy and humble.

"Yo, we're here."

Xiaolin greeted him casually and said, "As you said, I brought Yuyou. Huihui went out, so she's not here."

"Um, do you really have a problem with me?"

Youyou asked.

"Yes, yes." Rafe nodded quickly and said, "I want to hear your opinions, so I asked Mr. Xiaolin to call you here."

"What's going on?"

"Yes, it's about the next repair materials. Since the Water Magic Stone was installed smoothly, I want to start the next step."

Raph's smile was a little excited.

Aqua wondered: "What's the use of asking about this kind of thing? Magic is easy to talk about, but how can Yunyu know about the relics?"

"I would like to ask two people to serve as guides to locations where materials may be found, and to be responsible for local investigations." Raff explained: "When looking for materials, I think it is better to focus on people who are familiar with the local conditions, huh."

"...Wait a minute, did you just say local area?"

Xiao Lin interrupted loudly.

Megumi and Yoyo, plus guides and locals.

"That, could it be..."

"It's the same as you thought. This time the destination is the Red Devil's Residence."

"Really, really?"

Youyou was also a little surprised.

Xiao Lin was completely helpless.

After Alcanredia is the Crimson Devil's Residence, which seems to be a place I've been to recently.

"Isn't it good? It's better than going to a strange place at this level."

"That's true."

What Aqua said makes sense.

When he was at a low level, he would rather go to the Red Devil than go to other dangerous places.

Even though it was a gathering place for chuunibyou, it was still very friendly to Xiao Lin and the others.

"What I want to ask you to investigate this time is the ancient ruins in the Red Devil." Researcher Raf said: "The ruins in the Red Devil are in very good condition. If everything goes well, we should be able to get high-quality repair materials."

"Speaking of which, aren't there the remains of a magician killer sleeping there?"

Aqua seemed to suddenly remember.

really.

At that time, Sylvia, a leader of the Demon King's Army, possessed the ancient magic weapon Magician Killer, but was eventually destroyed by Kobayashi's shot.

"But what exactly are we looking for as materials?"

"Yes, yes. This time, I hope this is what everyone is looking for."

He pulled out something that looked like a circuit board.

Youyou asked strangely: "Um, what is this?"

"Okay, it seems to be parts related to controlling the water magic stone. I don't know the details. I'm sorry... because the relic is broken, I did my best just to speculate." Rafe was slightly embarrassed.

No, it’s not you who should be embarrassed, it’s us.
