Chapter 803 Treasure 1
On this day, Kobayashi was drinking leisurely in the guild. Since the matter of the stone slab was successfully resolved and Aqua's debt had been paid off, he finally had a moment of leisure time.
However, popular people will always be discovered, and people still come to him when he is drinking.
"Hey, Xiaolin. Are you free?"
"Hmm? It's Dust." Kobayashi looked at the man who was talking to him. It was Dust, the dust who was known as Axel's hopeless scum, and was called a beast together with Sato Kazuma.
"What's wrong? Do you have a problem with me?"
"I recently got some information about a treasure and wanted to share it with you."
"treasure?"
Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows. He was indeed very interested in information about treasures.
"Thank you very much, but is this okay? You and your team are also looking for treasures, right? Or are you up to something else?"
Xiao Lin didn't believe that Dust was so kind as to tell him the information about the treasure.
After all, they are all adventurers who make a living from this. If they trade their information, they will suffer losses instead. No idiot would do such a thing.
However, Dust smiled and said, "It's nothing. We are all men, so we should help each other."
"No, no, no, what does this have to do with men?" Xiao Lin rolled his eyes slightly, as if he saw through him and said, "So, of course it can't be free, what are you trying to do?"
"As expected of Xiaolin, you are on the right track."
"It's Dust after all."
Xiao Lin's mouth corners slightly raised, as if he saw through his true nature, and Dust also had an expression that said you are easy to talk to, and then said to him very seriously: "Next time... if there are extra coupons from that store, be sure to give me some!"
"You are such a rubbish..."
As expected of him, he is Dust. He is willing to sell out information about his own team's treasure just for the ticket of the Succubus Shop. It is really hard to understand how he can be the legendary dragon knight.
However, this was not a bad thing for Xiaolin, so he said seriously: "Okay, I understand. This is an agreement between men."
Common ground between men.
That is, as long as you have the invitation ticket to the Succubus Shop, everything will be easy.
"Hehehe! The deal is done!" A happy smile appeared on Dust's face. Then he leaned over to Xiaolin's ear and whispered, "About that information...jiligua,jiligua..."
"Hey, wait a minute, is your information true? No, although it should be true..." Kobayashi's mouth opened slightly and his eyes became much bigger.
"What's wrong, Xiaolin?" Duster saw his expression and asked in surprise, "Why do you have such a subtle expression?"
"No, I seem to have heard of similar topics before, but I also seem not to have heard of them before..."
Xiaolin's expression was complicated.
Because the information about the treasure that Dust just told him was information that Kobayashi had heard a long time ago, and he even put a lot of energy and physical strength into it, but in the end he returned empty-handed.
"Eh - this is the first time I've heard of this either." Dust spread his hands with some regret, and said, "If the information is correct, then it's a very rare item. Anyway... as long as you collect all seven magic stones, any wish can be fulfilled..."
“Wow! W ...
"Why are you yelling so loudly all of a sudden?"
Duster was frightened by Xiaolin and took a step back in fear, but he was more surprised by Xiaolin's reaction.
"Shut up, you can't say any more."
"Ah? ...Oh, Xiaolin, you mean that it would be bad if other adventurers heard it? Xiaolin, are you really down-to-earth about this kind of thing? Forget it, it's better to be cautious than to talk nonsense."
"Oh, oh... Yeah, I didn't mean that... But, never mind."
Kobayashi was not excited because of what Dust said, but he was afraid that Vanir would hear it. After all, that guy had caused a lot of trouble before and made them suffer.
If there is another disturbance, it might lead to even greater unrest.
"But this is indeed made based on that, right? In other words, the original owner of the magic stone was the reincarnated one... Could it be that the magic stone was a tool obtained when reincarnated? Then why did it leave his hand?"
Xiaolin felt something was wrong.
Although it happened a long time ago, I should still have some impression of it, but now I can't remember anything.
"Hmm... I don't know what they are, but it seems necessary to collect them all."
He muttered to himself.
The magic stone almost caused the collapse of Axel. If there were more magic stones scattered everywhere...
"I say, can you tell me more about that topic?"
"K-Chris!?"
Looking at the silver-haired girl who suddenly interrupted the conversation, Kobayashi was a little stunned. He had no idea how she appeared here and even eavesdropped on their private conversation.
Chris smiled and said, "Isn't this an interesting topic? Let me get involved and do some research, okay?"
"Really?... Well, Chris said so." Kobayashi nodded. After all, the real body is the goddess of luck, and there is no harm in having her intervention. However, he still has to ask the person involved for his thoughts and opinions first.
"Is that ok, Dust?"
"There's nothing wrong with me here."
Dust agreed decisively. He seemed to have no interest in the treasure at all. It would be better to say that this guy did not intend to look for the treasure from the beginning. Instead, he wanted to take the opportunity to exchange for a reward from Kobayashi.
"Great, thank you both!"
Chris got the permission and jumped happily with a smile.
"Next, regarding the matter of the magic stone..." The thief girl was very interested in these things, so she wanted to get more information. However, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly paused and looked to the other side of the guild.
"By the way, why does it feel so noisy over there?"
"Really? Who is the idiot who caused the commotion in the guild?"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but roll his eyes in anger. Although the guild was always noisy, it shouldn't be so noisy that they couldn't even hear each other's voices when their faces were close together.
"To intentionally cause trouble on such an important occasion is definitely not a decent adventurer!"
Kobayashi said as he looked to the other side.
He found that he seemed to have said enough.
Duster bumped Xiaolin's shoulder and said, "I say, Xiaolin... weren't it your companions who caused the commotion at the counter?"
"I don't know them."
Xiao Lin decisively turned his head away, pretending that he was not the same kind of person as them.
Besides, it seems that there is nothing wrong with what he just said. After all, those guys are not really decent adventurers. If they were, they wouldn't have made him become like this.
"I say, if possible, I hope to unlock the seal of this maze?"
Aqua was yelling unreasonably at the counter. She kept making things difficult for Luna, the guild counter lady, causing her to smile awkwardly but politely.
Xiaolin walked over quickly and slapped her.
"It hurts!" The stupid goddess screamed. She turned around and was about to yell angrily, but when she saw the person coming, she was slightly stunned. "Xiao Lin, what are you doing?"
"Say hello to the stupid relatives who caused a commotion in the guild!"
"Then there's no need to hit me like this!"
Aqua said this angrily, then explained: "I just want the guild to unlock the seal of the maze!"
"...Really? You didn't say anything else?"
Kobayashi stared at her suspiciously and asked as if he was asking the counter girl Luna, but Aqua crossed her arms and looked unhappy.
"You are very rude, of course!"
"Well..."
Luna still had that awkward smile.
Aqua slapped the guild counter again and shouted, "Remove the seal quickly, let us enter the labyrinth, investigate the interior, and give us some compensation - this is the only request I have for the guild."
"Obviously I said one more thing!"
Xiao Lin tapped her forehead and shouted angrily.
Darkness and Megumin looked at the lady at the guild counter awkwardly and said with their heads down: “I’m sorry, I apologize for making strange requests for my companions. Aqua did something unnecessary.”
“But, I’m serious about unlocking the seal of that maze, so could you please be a little lenient with the guild?” Huihui followed suit.
Unlike the arrogant Aqua, these two are very kind people.
Luna also pondered for a moment and said, "Although I don't know the reason, I understand that you all want to go to that maze, but... the maze there is really dangerous."
She was not trying to make things difficult for them, but was trying to persuade them earnestly. After all, the dangers of the maze were not something that could be explored by mere novice adventurers.
Even though Krillin and the others are already excellent adventurers, Aqua, Darkness, and Megumin are not qualified adventurers.
Of course, except Youyou.
"But it's really rare that the guild deliberately sealed it off. It makes people a little concerned." Youyou asked curiously, "Excuse me, has anything happened in that maze before? Otherwise, it wouldn't have been sealed off, right?"
"Yes……"
Luna looked a little embarrassed. She didn't know what to say or how to say it. In short, she was very conflicted. But after seeing Xiaolin and the others' curious and serious expressions, she decided to tell them the truth, so she slowly said:
"...Everyone, did you know that there is such a maze near this city?"
“Come to think of it, I had never heard of it before Darkness mentioned it.”
Xiaolin said this after thinking about it.
Aqua also shook her head slightly and said, "I haven't heard of it either. Rather, those adventurers who drank never mentioned it either."
"Me too."
"And I."
Huihui and Youyou shook their heads one after another.
“I first heard about this from a guild staff member last month.” Darkness said, “It seems that this is not something that ordinary people would know. Obviously, I don’t know it either.”
After all, she is the daughter of a noble family who is in charge of this town, but even she doesn't know about it. Isn't it strange?
"Yeah, it's really weird when you think about it." Youyou pinched her chin and asked curiously, "It's right near the city, and it's a great place for adventurers to make money. But even so, the adventurers in Axel don't know about it. Isn't it weird?"
"Yes, that's normally impossible."
Luna, the guild counter lady, said this with a serious face, "But now, the reason is clear."
"What is it?"
"This maze appeared last month!"
"--what!?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Aqua was even more excited and asked, "Wait a minute, what does it mean to come out of the maze?"
"Literally." Guild Lady Luna shook her head and said, "The first report on the discovery of this maze was last month. Before that, there was no report. Originally, there was nothing in that place."
A chill swept over everyone, causing them to shiver involuntarily. A chilly feeling flowed through their bodies, and their brains became calm.
Kobayashi pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Why does it feel like a topic of ghost talk? Is it some kind of horror or supernatural thing that will turn out like this? As expected, we still have to close the door and release Aqua."
"What do you mean by letting me go? I always feel that there is deep malicious intent." Aqua rolled her eyes, then puffed out her chest and said, "But Xiaolin is right. No matter what kind of evil spirit or lich it is, as long as it is the undead, I can expel it all!"
As expected, having the silly goddess around makes people feel at ease.
“But…” Darkness was also a little surprised. “I’ve never heard of a maze suddenly appearing before.”
The so-called mazes all occur after silent migration. The most obvious example is Kil's dungeon. That guy is the highest-level lich of the undead. It is precisely because he has been staying in that maze that his powerful aura has attracted many undead, and finally it has evolved into a dungeon.
However, because it has been dormant all the time, the danger level of the dungeon is not very high. Accordingly, there are not many bounties and rewards. It is purely a dungeon maze for novices to level up.
"Yes." Luna also said with a little worry: "No one in the union knows about this. This maze is really full of mysteries..."
It seems that not only them, but even the guild feels something is wrong.
So there was no reaction?
As if seeing through Xiaolin's thoughts, Luna said, "So last month, we sent out several teams to conduct investigations in the maze."
When Xiao Lin heard her say this, he knew that if nothing unexpected happened, an accident would happen.
