Chapter 645 Becomes Level
The dragon business is over.
But one thing led to another. When they went to the guild, Luna, the big sister at the counter, said to Xiaolin, "I have something to tell you."
I have a bad feeling.
Never mind, just listen to it.
"In fact, there is a commission, and the client nominated you, Xiaolin."
Big sister Luna said so.
Xiao Lin frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Name us?"
“It’s really rare that someone would specifically mention adventure or something like that.” Darkness was curious.
Huihui said excitedly: “It must be because of our activeness!”
Hey, hey, are you serious?
It is true that he is active, but every time he shows his bad side, how can he accumulate a good reputation?
"Since you've nominated me, the reward must be high, right?"
Aqua said so.
Luna smiled and said, "Yes, since the client is a noble, I don't think I need to worry about the reward."
Noble?
Then the rewards should generally be high.
Aqua opened her eyes wide as if she was obsessed with money, revealing obvious desire.
Darkness noticed her emotions and immediately spoke:
"Ahem... Generally speaking, requests for specific adventurers are inefficient, regardless of whether they are nobles or not. The target adventurers may be accepting different missions, or they may have gone to a faraway labyrinth. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, they will have to pay a higher reward than usual. If you want to ask someone with high ability, just ask the guild to select high-level people."
"In other words, you mean that there is no need to specifically name them?"
There was clear stupidity in Aqua's eyes.
Darkness sighed and said, “If we only ask for help from very capable adventurers… then, once all the requests are gathered, we may have to wait for several months.”
“So, this commission is the first step towards becoming a famous adventurer who will wait for several months?” Huihui’s eyes sparkled brightly.
"Yes, yes, isn't this proof that we are famous?"
“Well, well… is that so… right?”
Darkness also looked a little uncertain.
It’s easy to say about other people, but as for the people in their team... it’s really hard to evaluate.
Xiao Lin also felt something was wrong and asked, "But why did they specifically name us? What is the commission?"
"Yes! Here are the contents of the mission."
Luna handed them the order.
"Let me see!" Aqua snatched it and read the list, "What... Investigating the ancient heritage left by our ancestors... Hmm? Ancient heritage?"
"Yes!"
Luna explained: "The client is the noble Lord Lundberg. I heard that he found a mysterious relic that is suspected to be from an ancient civilization under his mansion. After deciphering the ancient documents found with it, it seems that the relic has been kept by the Lundberg family for generations, but the details are unknown."
"The situation is unclear?"
"Yes. Although I am still continuing the analysis, the progress is not very smooth, so I would like to use Mr. Kobayashi's wisdom... That's it."
"Mine? Why mine?"
Xiaolin felt strange.
Luna shook her head and said, "Well, I don't know the details. There are rumors that Mr. Kobayashi and you have manipulated ancient civilization in the Crimson Devil Village..."
Ancient civilization?
Ah, that's what you're talking about!
Huihui followed up with, “So you did open the Crimson Demons’ mysterious facility.”
“Electromagnetic cannon…right. That thing is very useful. It hit Silvia.” Darkness agreed.
Aqua asked curiously, "Maybe the Crimson Demons told the adventurers. They seem to like stories like this."
It turned out to be the case.
That's probably it.
But with such a high profile, it's natural that there would be rumors.
"By the way, Darkness, do you know this nobleman named Lundberg?" Kobayashi asked.
"Ah, of course."
Hearing this name, Darkness also said with favor: "His family has a long history. The Darkness family has also been taken care of by him. Everyone says that he is an upright person."
Eh, that's strange.
Darkness hates people who act in an open and aboveboard manner. Is her habit a little different lately?
but……
"Isn't this a strange client? It doesn't look like there will be any trouble, so I can accept it..."
Xiaolin was a little hesitant.
Hui Hui asked curiously, “What’s wrong with that expression?”
"Well... well, we're actually pretty rich now, and we just finished the dragon issue, so it's okay to take a break for a while." Kobayashi hated working continuously.
If Sato Kazuma hadn't gone to another town to sell products, Kobayashi really wanted to give this job to him.
"What does it matter?"
Aqua said in a rare diligent manner: "Let's do a quick investigation. If you don't know, just say you don't know. Just do as much as you can."
"Don't think that this is none of your business and just talk nonsense here."
Xiaolin rolled his eyes slightly.
Luna also came over and whispered, "Um, um... about the most important reward..."
"Ah, I haven't heard you say that yet. How much is the commission?"
"Including the nomination fee, thirty million Eris."
"Hey, thirty million..."
"Thirty million!?"
Aqua became a money-grubber again. Not only her, but Darkness and Megumin also shouted excitedly.
Luna was very satisfied with their reaction and said with a smile: "Because it is very professional, I can only ask Mr. Kobayashi, so the amount is this. However, if Mr. Kobayashi does not want to accept it no matter what, although it is regrettable, but..."
"I accept it, I accept it! We will accept it no matter what! Just investigating the relics will give us 30 million Eris, that's great, Kobayashi!"
"Long live the famous adventurer, long live the nominated fee!"
Aqua and Megumin cheered.
Have these two money-grubbers forgotten about Banir?
Darkness smiled and said, “It seems that it has been decided. Can I ask you to handle the commissioning procedures?”
"I, I understand." Luna was also frightened by the two. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I will contact Lord Lundberg first."
"Okay, let's go investigate the ruins!"
"Oh!"xN
----
"Although I accepted the commission in this way, but..."
Xiaolin looked at the little Crimson Demon loli beside him and asked, "Hey Huihui, why are we in the maze?"
“It seems there are no monsters here, so it should be called the front maze.” Huihui corrected him and said, “But there is a maze under the mansion, which is still a mystery.”
“No, no, no, that’s not the problem. You didn’t tell me there was a maze under the mansion, did you? Even though I brought a bunch of idle people with me just in case, you should have told me about this kind of thing first!”
"Wait, who are you calling the idlers?"
"That's right! I'm a member of the team, and I'm really hurt to be treated as an idler all of a sudden!"
"As long as the goddess is here, I'm willing to go anywhere."
Chris, Youyou, and Mitsurugi Hibiki.
These three people also insisted on coming along.
Xiaolin looked at them and sighed, "...It seems like they have become regular members."
"I said! I'm tired and don't want to walk anymore!"
As expected, Aqua started to feel tired less than two hours after arriving in the underground maze.
“Come on, Aqua! We’re almost at the deepest point!”
Darkness, who was walking in the front, said this to the stupid goddess who was shouting behind her.
Kobayashi also said to Aqua who was at the back, "Hey, Aqua, we're leaving first."
"Ah, wait! Don't leave me!"
Aqua quickly caught up with him.
When the group reached the deepest part of the maze, they saw a special device.
This device has a modern scientific feel. A glass-like jar stands deep in the maze, with many things resembling circuit boards on it. It looks very high-tech.
No one dared to get close, for fear that it would sound the alarm.
"A pot? But the shape is a bit strange." Chris looked at it and said, "Could it be some ancient magic item?"
"Rather than a relic, it's more like a container."
Youyou was also curious.
The tangled cables sticking out of the wall didn't seem to be from this world. There was no doubt that this was related to the person with the cheating ability...
"Um……"
Xiaolin looked at it and fell into deep thought.
Darkness asked curiously, "Xiaolin, don't you know either?"
"I don't know at all."
Xiaolin shook his head.
After all, the things in Red Devil, such as controllers, guns, and game consoles, are easy to use at first glance...but this thing looks very high-tech, and I have no impression or method of use at all.
Xiaolin shouted to his fellow aliens in the distance: "Hey, Edgeworth, come and take a look. Doesn't this look like a machine from our world?"
"My name is Mitsurugi...ah, Xiaolin wasn't wrong, sorry."
Mitsurugi Hibiki scratched his head, looked at the instrument carefully, and said, "I'm sorry, to be honest, I have no idea."
Really? Is that so? He is the same.
Yu Jian Xiangye is just a high school student. Even if he is popular with the opposite sex, it is impossible for him to know about these high-end instruments.
Aqua said in dissatisfaction: "You two are really useless. This is a job worth 30 million Eris, be serious!"
"I have already done this, but I just don't know. There is nothing I can do about it."
Xiaolin looked at her and asked, "By the way, Aqua, how about you come and take a look? You also know the knowledge we have over there, right?"
"Yes……"
Aqua came closer, stared at the instrument carefully, and said, "This thing should be somewhere... Ah, I got it! Look, isn't there a button underneath?"
She yelled, pointing at the bulge under the instrument.
After taking a closer look, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned and said, "Ah, it's true. It's so small, I'm surprised you can see it."
“Hehehe, the goddess’ eyes are different from the two of you who are useless at the critical moment! Then hurry up——”
The stupid goddess pressed the button all at once before he could react.
……No.
Xiaolin grabbed her wrist all of a sudden.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
"Wait, what are you doing all of a sudden? If your hands are grabbed, you won't be able to press the button, right?"
“What are you doing… This is my line! How can you be so stupid as to just press it suddenly?”
Kobayashi pressed his fingers on her forehead, as if pressing down her IQ button.
Huihui also said: “It’s possible that it’s a self-destruct switch, so it’s better not to press it.”
“Yes, Aqua. Even though we don’t know what it is, there should be other ways to investigate.” Darkness quickly dissuaded.
"..."
Aqua covered her mouth and laughed, "How annoying! How could I really press it? Of course I was just kidding, hahahaha..."
"Hey, what was your silence just now? Your silence just now."
"Xiaolin, you're really worrying too much. Well, let's put the button aside for now and investigate what this is."
Under Kobayashi's questioning, the stupid goddess kept hitting the instrument as if she was avoiding the question.
"Hey, Aqua, stop knocking."
"It's okay, it's okay. If it's damaged to this extent, it won't last for hundreds of years, right?"
Aqua continued hammering without caring.
However, alarms were soon sounded in the dungeon.
"……Eh?"
Aqua froze.
[Emergency has occurred... Emergency has occurred... Confirmed that the device has been attacked... Defense system, activated! ]
Xiaolin couldn't bear it any longer.
“You idiot——!”
"Eh? Is it my fault now?"
"No matter how you think about it, it's your fault. You've done unnecessary things again!"
"me……"
Aqua was too embarrassed to speak.
At this time, Youyou also ran over. She said anxiously, "Mr. Lin, it seems like something is talking!"
[Defense Warlock deploys... to incapacitate the invader...]
"To disable the invaders is... oh!?"
Just when Xiao Lin didn't know what was going on, his body suddenly began to tremble like a sieve.
When Yu Jian Xiangye saw this situation, he said unwillingly: "Damn it, are the levels cleared?"
"Eh!? Why is there such a rare curse?"
Chris was very confused by this, but she quickly said, "Now is not the time to talk about this! This is bad, Xiaolin! If this continues, everyone will become level 1!"
"What did you say!?"
Xiaolin was slightly surprised.
Darkness fell to her knees, her face flushed as she said, “Ku… my power is being absorbed… ah!”
She seemed to like it very much.
Aqua panicked and said, "What should I do, Xiaolin! My skills can't be used anymore!"
"Oh no, oh no, oh no. If this continues, I will become weaker than when I first came here! But how can I stop it?"
Xiaolin frowned.
"Hehehe... Leave it to me at times like this!"
At this time, Huihui stood up.
No, she stood on the platform, overlooking everyone.
Xiao Lin said, "I was wondering why you were so quiet. So you were there. Where did you climb up from?"
"I asked Liu Zi to bring me up here. No, it's not important!"
Huihui swung her cape and said, "My father, Piao Saburo, said that there is a way to absolutely stop runaway items, and that is - no matter what it is, as long as it breaks, it will stop!"
"Wait, anyway, using explosion magic in a dungeon..."
"——Explosion!"
She doesn't listen to anyone at all!
