Chapter 688 Reward
When everything was over, Kobayashi, exhausted, sat limply on the ground, panting and leaning against the tree trunk next to him, recovering his strength.
“It’s great that it’s going so well… To be honest, it’s a gamble on all sides.”
Wiped the sweat from his forehead.
If I hadn't used brute force in the end, it would be hard to say what the outcome would have been.
Aqua said proudly, "Since the goddess's hammer has been sent down, it will definitely go smoothly!"
This foolish goddess who is too proud of herself.
But this time she really needs to work hard, otherwise Xiaolin won't be able to use his full strength at the end, and the slime's shell is quite difficult to pry open.
After defeating the giant slime Valavi, he found that his level had been fully restored.
The upgrade system of "Suqing" is not based on contribution. Instead, whoever defeats the monster with the final blow can obtain all the experience points of the monster. Walavi has devoured the physical strength and magic power of so many monsters, so his strength is extraordinary.
But considering that his level before being demoted was the same as his current level, he realized that he had been working in vain.
Forget it, it's not important.
It was good enough that they successfully stopped Walavi from destroying Axel. It would be too much to ask for more. Besides, they made such an outstanding contribution this time, they will definitely receive a lot of praise, and the kingdom will have to give them some rewards.
Suddenly, Xiaolin saw Huihui lying on the ground, looking at him sitting on the ground with great resentment.
"........."
“Hey, Huihui, are you okay?”
"This is a common occurrence, Baremov... Ah, I slipped up. As a user of Explosion Magic, I'm used to it, please don't mind it. It's just that I didn't defeat the Valavi this time, so I'm a little unwilling. If I could have another one... And being able to use magic crystals and destroy the plains at will, this feeling is really great!"
Huihui was somewhat excited.
Kobayashi could understand her idea. After all, she would always be scolded for releasing explosion magic in the past, but now, not only are she not scolded or stopped, but people even hope she can use it more often.
The feeling is naturally completely different.
As for the fact that she was not the one who defeated Walavi, Kobayashi had no way to deal with it. If she had delivered the final blow at that time, Walavi might have been able to withstand the magic damage and she would have missed the opportunity to give him a fatal blow.
"Next time, next time for sure."
"……Well."
Huihui curled her lips. She was not stupid, so she could naturally hear Xiaolin's perfunctory response.
"Well, forget it. I'm already satisfied this time. If I get a chance next time, I will definitely use a more powerful explosion magic... Absolutely!"
"Ahh...as long as you're happy."
Xiaolin twitched the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Wiz and Vanir came over.
"Ah, Mr. Kobayashi! Great, you're okay!"
“Hahaha, looks like everything has been resolved. Stand up straight, you adventurer who saved the city! Look, the people waiting for you down there can’t wait any longer.”
"under?"
Xiaolin was a little puzzled and looked down the hill in the direction of Vanir's finger.
"Mr. Kobayashi! Great, it worked!"
"Huh... I didn't expect that I could actually defeat him. To be honest, I thought it was impossible."
"Haha, the heart of a person who doesn't give up surpasses that of a monster. It's just like a fairy tale."
The three members of the Crimson Demon Clan said so.
They made an indelible contribution in this battle. It was also thanks to their use of powerful magic to continuously reduce Walavi's resistance and their creation of pit traps to control Walavi that Kobayashi and his team were able to take the initiative to attack.
"Hey, Xiaolin! It's almost time to get up!"
"Hey Duster, be a little quieter! Xiaolin is tired too!"
"it hurts."
Lynn unhappily kicked Dust, causing the blond punk to rub his butt in pain.
Yu Jian Xiangye said excitedly: "Goddess, this is really a divine strike, it's amazing."
"Really, that's awesome, Xiaolin and the others! Thank you for your hard work." Chris said happily, "If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have won this battle. It's all thanks to you!"
She was right.
If these people hadn't cleared the way for Kobayashi and Aqua, they might not have been able to get close to Walavi and deal him a fatal blow.
Really, thank you so much.
Darkness extended her hand to him and said with a smile, "How are you, Xiaolin? Can you still stand up?"
"If you can still move, let's go down too." Aqua also stretched out her hand to him, and said with a smile on her face: "Go back early and have a good drink at the bubble bar!"
"Yes Yes."
Being urged, Kobayashi sighed helplessly, stretched out his hands, grabbed the hands they handed over, and stood up from the ground.
He turned to look at the little Loli who was still lying on the ground.
“It’s better to carry Huihui on your back.”
"It's a great help, please."
Kobayashi helped the weak Huihui up and carried her on his back.
Aqua said to the female knight, "Darkness, let's go down first! I want to use your sword to cut Valavi!"
"Ah, I see."
Darkness agreed without any hesitation, but soon asked in surprise: “Chevalavi? Aqua, are you going to treat my sword as a kitchen knife…?”
"hurry up."
"Wait, wait, Aqua!"
The stupid goddess pushed her and walked quickly downwards. She seemed to like the taste of Walavi.
Wiz and Vanir smiled slightly upon seeing this.
"Haha, it seems like they have turned back into Mr. Kobayashi and the others."
"Because we've been in a lot of emergency situations this time, I can finally say something relaxing."
Vanir saw through everything. He looked into the distance and said, "Then let's go back... back to that city."
The agitation in Walavi ended there.
Kobayashi and his team carried back the broken parts of its body bit by bit.
Although it looked ferocious and frightening before, and no one could resist its advance, the original purpose of Walavi was to make food. Yes, it was a high-quality bracken cake. If it was just left on the plain, it would be a waste of natural resources.
So under Kobayashi's command, they worked hard to bring these things back.
When the other adventurers were told that Walavi was edible food, they were quite resistant, but after tasting it, they immediately changed their attitude and became more diligent.
--Then.
The commotion at Walavi lasted a few days.
someday.
Adventurer's Guild.
"Adventurer, Mr. Kobayashi!"
Sena stood in front of the guild, surrounded by other adventurers, and Xiaolin stood in the middle of the crowd. She said loudly to Xiaolin in front of everyone: "In order to commend you, I will now present you with a certificate of appreciation as proof of your defense of this city."
Kobayashi and his team successfully saved the city, and he received a letter of appreciation as the representative of the team.
“And, in recognition of your achievement in defeating so many magical creatures and preventing massive destruction… the reward is thirty million Eris!”
Thirty million...
Many adventurers looked at him with envy when they heard this number.
But the stupid goddess said in a somewhat unhappy tone, "I am telling you, you defeated such a big guy, but the money you gave me is too little? Only 30 million Eris?! Did you take a kickback?"
"Don't say such outrageous things, idiot."
Kobayashi hit her head, causing Aqua to puff up her lips in pain.
An honest and upright prosecutor of the Kingdom would never do such a thing.
Sena was also slightly embarrassed and said, "Sorry... Walavi... Although the monsters attacked, there were almost no casualties. In addition, their huge appearance can only be confirmed by those who have directly fought against them. Thirty million Eris, this is the result of my desperate negotiations with them."
“Although it was preventive, the danger was not communicated to the country?”
Darkness immediately discovered the problem.
Although this judgment was unpleasant, if the town was destroyed at that time, they would be in more trouble.
Besides, no one died, which is worth being happy about.
"…Senna, you're going back to the capital, right?" Xiaolin asked, as if he had suddenly thought of something. "You should be in a hurry to go back to the capital to report this matter."
"Yes."
Sena nodded and said, "Because we need to escort the masterminds of this incident, Lundberg and Rafe, to the capital. Thank you very much for your care."
"Oh, you should stay alert over there too. If possible, please say hello to Alice for me."
"...You actually dared to address Princess Rokka by her name. Mr. Kobayashi, you are really...too reckless."
Sena didn't know what to say.
Although she also knew that Kobayashi and Alice had a good relationship, it was really not in accordance with etiquette to say so in front of outsiders, especially in front of the Kingdom Prosecutor.
Xiaolin smiled indifferently.
Not to mention that Sena would not report such an insignificant matter to Alice, even if Alice knew that Kobayashi called her by her name, she would only feel happy.
Maybe she is in the capital now, clamoring to come to Axel again.
No, considering that the perverted female guard is blocking him, he probably can't come.
And Axel is not completely safe now.
Darkness was a little curious: "So, what happened to the two people being escorted? Lundberg seemed to want to fight back against Rafe..."
"He is very happy."
Sena sighed slightly and explained, "Maybe it's because she hindered Rafe's plan, so she feels good about being betrayed."
This is of course.
Although Kobayashi and the others were also fooled, Lundberg was actually the one who was fooled the most. He gambled his noble status to gain his future. He thought that the magical creature Valavi he liberated was very powerful and could help him conquer the kingdom. However, everything he did became a trick for Raf.
It was a sign of good self-cultivation for Lundberg that he did not get so angry and embarrassed as to challenge Raff to a duel.
I sympathize with his experience.
But that doesn't mean Kobayashi will forgive Lundberg. If he really gets the help of the magical creature Valavi, he would not be killed a hundred times for what he has done.
Instead, Darkness sighed slightly.
As a representative of the nobility, the Dastinis family, she must have felt that the appearance of such a noble had brought disgrace to her noble name.
But there is no need to do so.
Kobayashi had never expected anything from the nobles of this kingdom from the beginning. Whether it was Lundberg this time or the previous lord Eldap, they were all a bunch of dirty and filthy trash.
Sena spoke again.
"If there's an accident, it should be Raph."
"Raph? What's wrong with him?"
"No, he was very honest during the interrogation and did not resist. Lundberg remained silent during the interrogation, but Rafe confessed everything he did, but how should I put it... he did not show any remorse for the crime he committed."
This is the researcher.
Perhaps in their eyes, these kinds of things are what we should pay in pursuit of our goals, whether it’s the environment being damaged, people getting hurt, or even their own lives being sacrificed.
This guy is really scary.
Sena seemed to notice their resistance and said with a smile: "Don't worry, once we are transferred to the capital, we won't see you, Mr. Kobayashi, anymore. Please rest assured about this."
"Ah, that's good news."
Xiaolin nodded.
Uncle Lundberg would probably be sentenced to death for subverting the kingdom, and so would Raf. If the two of them didn't have any special means of escape or someone came to rescue them, they would probably never see each other again in this lifetime.
May they be able to calmly accept their sins when they are judged by the goddess Eris.
"Well, I'll excuse myself first. Please take care, everyone."
"Oh, you too."
Xiaolin said goodbye to her.
Sena nodded to everyone as if in gratitude, and walked out of the Adventurer's Guild with a smile on her face. Everything seemed to have finally come to an end.
"...Haha, now I finally get rid of the burden. I feel a lot more relaxed."
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm finally free."
Darkness sends her blessing.
That is to say, this kind of inexplicable thing should be borne by Sato Kazuma. I don’t know why Kobayashi has to bear everything after he was gone. I really hope he can come back soon.
“Really? Why should I be suspected? I’m just an ordinary citizen who has defeated even the leaders of the Demon King’s army.”
"I think it's because your usual actions are suspicious."
"Hey, little Loli, what did you say about me just now?"
"No, nothing. I just have some honest thoughts... ah, it hurts! Stop pressing my head!"
Huihui screamed in pain.
She always seemed to mistake Kobayashi for Sato Kazuma. You know, he has always had an excellent reputation in Axel. How could he be regarded as a scumbag?
"Xiaolin, that kind of thing is fine!"
Aqua urged him.
"Hurry up, I'm getting impatient! Hurry up, hurry up!"
"I know, I know. Are all the members here?"
Xiaolin looked around.
All the adventurers who had fought before gathered here, and what he promised must be fulfilled today.
"Then, let's drink together!"
"Cheers!"
