Even though we were deceived, we did help Uncle Lundberg to unlock the seal.
If you are suspected of subverting the country because of this, you will be in trouble.
By the way, I would be remiss if I didn't complain to Raff.
It’s not for Darkness.
"Try to find it."
Xiaolin smiled and nodded, but then said: "But if I feel we can't handle it, we will retreat immediately!"
"Ah! That's fine. Thank you, Kobayashi!"
Hearing that he was willing to help, Darkness smiled happily.
Huihui also said: "Then our next goal is to track down Walavi, right?"
"It's just tracking. When there is real danger, tell Sena to send the kingdom's knights over." Kobayashi warned.
"I have no objection."
"Me too."
They both agreed.
He really hopes that the two of them can keep their promises. If they are reckless and insist on going ahead without listening to advice when something bad happens, he will really curse at them.
"But...how do I chase him?"
"Um……"
Huihui's question made Xiaolin feel a little distressed.
After all, after escaping from the dungeon, no one knows where Walavi went, and Raf also moved away with magic items, so we don’t even know where to look for him.
"How about collecting eyewitness intelligence? If the monster is seen in the city, maybe someone remembers where it went."
"It's midnight, huh? Is it such a coincidence that you saw someone?"
What the two said was even more troubling.
indeed.
The seal was opened after the party at the noble mansion. Judging from the time, it was already late at night when everyone was asleep.
Uncle Lundberg probably did it on purpose.
In order to wait until midnight, when everyone has lost their vigilance, and then suddenly attack, leaving no one with time to react.
However, he didn't expect to be deceived by Ralph, and all his efforts were wasted.
When I thought of this, I felt sad for him again.
After thinking for a while, Xiaolin said, "If that doesn't work, let's go to the guild to investigate."
"These are all we can do now..."
"It can only be the."
The two agreed to do so.
Kobayashi told the two, “I’ll go tell Chris and the others what happened. I’ll leave Darkness and Megumin to investigate.”
"Understood. Leave the intelligence gathering to me."
"Daxter and the others have been doing nothing in the guild all day, so it's possible to see them if the timing is right. I hope those useless garbage dusts can be put to good use once in a while."
She was a bit too much.
But Xiaolin had the same idea. It would be great if there was any eyewitness information.
Just as they were about to go to the Adventurer's Guild, an uninvited guest broke into the mansion.
"Adventurers who are constantly running around trying to solve problems, good news has arrived! Be happy!"
“Barnil…?!”
"If you want to convey my foresight, the good news is in the Temple of Everlasting Summer! In other words, under the scorching sun, tortured by sweat-soaked clothes and protective gear, move towards success!"
“…This is too sudden!”
Xiao Lin couldn't help but complain.
This guy must have seen something, and he ran over quickly, pretending to help deliver intelligence, and then secretly asked them to do something.
That's right.
That must be it!
Vanir's lips curled up slightly. "So, fellow adventurers, do you not need to prepare any magic items? This is for your own good."
"I know, I know. I'll buy it! Let's go to the magic item store."
Xiaolin rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Arrived at Wiz's magic item shop.
open the door.
Wiz was tidying up the counter. She looked at the few people and was slightly stunned. "Hello everyone,... Um, what happened? The situation in the city seems to be a little different these days..."
"Because I think it's very troublesome, you should explain the current situation to this shop owner who has poor observation skills."
Barnil pushed the trouble onto them.
Really.
This guy, he clearly knew everything, but he refused to tell Wiz, just because he thought it was troublesome...
“Forget it. Wiz, actually…”
Kobayashi told Wiz the whole story, including the arrest of Uncle Lundberg and the disappearance of Researcher Rafe and Slime Walavi.
A long time passed.
Wiz covered her mouth and exclaimed, “How could it be… that the nobles were bad people or something… and framed Mr. Kobayashi or something…! He was clearly convicted of an unjust crime, Mr. Kobayashi is really amazing…”
"No, it's the result of my companions' hard work."
Xiao Lin waved his hand and said, "By the way, didn't Vanir just mention the Temple of Eversummer? Do you know where Valavi went?"
"Well, it's up to you whether you believe it or not! Well, I have conveyed to you the result I foresaw - as my consolation, I will send this useless shop owner to you, and you can use her like a slave."
“…Huh? Eh hey hey——!”
Vanir's words were quite extreme. Wiz, who had not expected him to say that, exclaimed in surprise.
"Mr. Vanir, I've never heard of such a thing!?"
"Of course, because I didn't say it."
"Why don't you tell me? If I'm not here, the store won't be staffed enough, okay?!"
"Don't worry, just leave that to me, and things will go more smoothly. Besides, it's clear that dismissing the junk shop owner will increase sales."
He threw Wiz to Xiaolin as if she were trash.
Wiz's eyes suddenly filled with tears.
“Too much?!”
Even Wiz would be hurt by being told that, but what hurt even more was that Vanir was telling the truth.
"Adventurer man!"
Vanir said loudly to Xiaolin: "This shopkeeper will be of great help in the battle of Changxia's temple! ...If you bring him with you, he will be very useful, right?"
Even without him saying anything, Xiaolin knew about this.
The last time we went to Changxia's temple, it was also Wiz who used his great power to defeat the monsters in the temple and collected the magic crystals.
But Vanir's enthusiasm and eagerness reminded Kobayashi of the bad things that happened before, and he became somewhat resistant.
He quickly asked.
"…What exactly is your purpose?"
"Hmm? What's the purpose?"
"You can't help us without any benefit, right? And you can't just help us to force Wiz on us, so what's your purpose?"
"No, ninety-nine percent of the time, it's to force it on you."
Vanir said that he had no other purpose at all, and his disdain for Wiz was self-evident. He seemed to think that she was just a hindrance in the store.
Wiz immediately lowered his head.
"Injured... Am I so useless..."
Xiaolin didn't believe him.
"Then what about the remaining one percent? With your temperament, Vanir, you wouldn't do such a useless thing. Why did you go out of your way to help us?"
“Hahahaha——”
Barnier laughed and said, "Of course it has its benefits. To be more precise, it is an insurance policy to avoid damage."
"Insurance? Are you saying that Valavi is dangerous enough to warrant such caution?"
Xiao Lin was slightly stunned.
After all, even if that thing is an ancient relic, it is nothing more than a slime.
Could it be possible that it could turn the world upside down?
Vanir smiled mysteriously: "Who knows? Isn't the insurance prepared in advance? Well, I am tired of protecting the junk shop owner these days, so I want to give it to you for safekeeping for the time being."
"What do you take people for?"
Wiz yelled angrily.
"Hmph. She has some skills as an adventurer, but she's a worthless shopkeeper with no business sense, right?"
"I'm not a waste~~~~!"
Vanir ignored her grievances and continued to ask Xiaolin:
"How's it going, kid? I don't think it's a bad thing for you guys, huh?"
“If Wiz is willing to help, I’d be very grateful too…”
"Then the deal is settled! You can make good use of this useless shop owner and make her so tired that she can't come to the store anymore!"
That's really an exaggeration.
Wiz wiped his eyes in grievance: "Wow, this is obviously my shop, but the treatment is too bad... Wow, Mr. Kobayashi and his friends are in trouble now, and I can accept it in order to help them..."
"Ahh, please."
Xiaolin twitched the corner of his mouth.
Wiz was very strong, but being driven away and having to join them was another matter. He didn't say much, though, as it would be bad if he hurt Wiz's pride.
Darkness and Megumin were glad to hear that she would join the team.
"Honestly, I'm really grateful to have Wiz's help. As I said earlier, we've lowered everyone's level first, so it would be great if someone as capable as Wiz could join us."
There was a smile on her face.
However, Vanir was keenly aware of the problem.
"...Hmm? So you guys are under a level-consuming curse, right?"
Darkness said unnecessary words.
Vanir seemed to see through everything, muttering: "Will it be easier to hand it over to the useless shop owner? ...I see, I see..."
“Please wait a moment, were you thinking about something disturbing just now?” Huihui asked quickly.
Xiaolin also had a headache.
"I said, Vanir, I told you not to do unnecessary things!"
“Hahahaha, why would I do anything unnecessary? I’m a demon who sees through everything, so I’m good at predicting future actions! But then again, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, so shop owner.”
"……what?"
"Eat my special level-consuming curse!"
"Ahhh!"
Before everyone could react, the mask on Vanir's head emitted a fierce strong light, which instantly fell on Wiz, causing her to scream in panic.
"Hey, what are you doing, asshole!"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but curse.
In this way, their convenient tool man will no longer exist, right? !
Vanir laughed wildly and proudly, "Hahahaha, you should thank me! In order to prevent you from losing the opportunity to appear, I lowered the level of the useless shopkeeper to the same level as you!"
"Didn't I tell you not to do unnecessary things like that?!"
"If someone tells me not to do something, I'll be happy to do it. Mm, what a great negative emotion, quite delicious!"
"You devil..."
Xiaolin clenched his fists.
No, he is the devil without a doubt. The more people don't want him to do something, the more he wants to do it. In order to taste the delicious negative emotions, it is common for him to do such hateful things.
Damn it, don’t let him succeed.
Wiz also felt very aggrieved.
"Wow, wow, wow...why am I also..."
"Of course, she may not have the omnipotence you want, but her strength is unquestionable. Those of you who are of low level, please work hard to improve your level. Then, I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, Vanir quickly ran out of the magic item shop.
This is clearly his home ground, but he is running away so quickly. He must be afraid that Kobayashi and the others will loudly condemn him.
I couldn't help but feel the veins on my forehead popping up.
"That guy, just did whatever he wanted, and then disappeared..."
"Next time you come to the store, play with the merchandise in front of him."
Huihui had the same idea.
Only Darkness looked at Wiz with concern and asked, "Are you okay? I heard that the light just now caused your level to drop..."
"Sadly, it is."
Wiz said with a slightly apologetic expression, “As the level drops, some magic becomes unusable. Mr. Vanir, in a place like this, you really can’t let anyone take advantage of you…”
Really, just doing unnecessary things.
I could have walked this world freely with the help of Wiz and Ryuzu, but isn't it becoming more difficult now?
"But it's really a big help that Wiz is here. I'm sorry to have to ask you to help find Valavi so soon."
"Yes. Although I don't know how far I can go due to my level, I will try my best."
It's really reliable.
Some people are still reliable even if their level is lowered, while others can still cause big trouble even if their level is lowered.
"Xiao Lin, I always feel like you're thinking about something bad."
“I’m not thinking that you’re always causing trouble, Megumin.”
“Ah, so it is!”
"Let go, let go quickly!"
Kobayashi pushed away the aggressive little Red Demon Lolita who was rushing towards him. She went crazy and started touching him just because he said something to her.
"correct."
At this time, Wiz spoke up, "Just last night, on my way back to Axel, I felt a strange magical force heading in the direction of Eversummer's temple. Now that I think about it, that was probably the magical creature that Mr. Kobayashi let go, right?"
"Last night... the timing was right."
“Is that the magic of Walavi?”
Hearing Darkness say this, Krillin also asked.
Wiz nodded and said, "Although there is no definite evidence, I think it should be so because it is a kind of magic that I have never felt near it. I think if I can get closer again, I should be able to know if it is the same thing."
"There is no other goal now..."
Xiaolin touched his chin.
Although I feel uneasy about Barnier's suggestion, if Valavi is leaving in the same direction, I will go and take a look.
