Chapter 652 Lake Temple
On the way to your destination.
Chris asked Xiaolin, "By the way, how is it going over there? Have you solved the problem with the underground sewer?"
"If there is a problem, it's a pretty big one...but at least we found a way to solve it." Kobayashi sighed slightly.
It's really hard to be at a low level.
Coupled with the stupid goddess's innate monster-absorbing body, they suffered a lot.
"Compared to us, have you made any progress in your investigation, Chris? I haven't heard of a maze nearby?"
"Ahhhh, about that matter...I'm having some trouble."
Chris said this somewhat embarrassedly.
She has always been very reliable, so she must have encountered some difficulties to say this.
Darkness asked curiously, “Didn’t they find it yet? If we don’t have enough manpower, we can come and help.”
"No, that's not what I meant."
Chris scratched the scar on his cheek.
Aqua was very impatient with his hesitating and asked quickly, "What's going on? Please explain it more clearly."
“…No.”
"what?"
"No matter how hard I search, I can't find anything. No one knows. It seems that there is no labyrinth in Alcanretia."
Hmm, so that’s how it is…
“Hahhhh————?!”
Several people suddenly shouted.
Xiao Lin was even more surprised and asked, "Hey, hey, hey, but doesn't the ancient document say it's in Alcanretia?"
"Yeah, it's true. I looked through the ancient documents of this street and found such a record. But I can't find it. Why?" Chris looked troubled.
I want to know too!
Something bad happened.
If I can't find the maze, I won't be able to bring the materials back. If I continue to stay here...
Aqua was also panicking: "What, what, what should I do! If I don't find the maze and bring the materials back, then I won't be able to get my ribbon back!!"
So annoying!
Xiaolin pushed her face which was approaching.
Huihui was also puzzled. “So, it existed a long time ago, but it disappeared naturally… Is that right? It disappeared because of a disaster or some other reason?”
"What can we do about this? If we can't collect the materials, how can we get a pardon?!"
"Yeah! If Xiaolin dies, won't Mo Wangxiang be defeated? If you don't work hard, I'll be in trouble too!"
"Let's work together to prevent Mr. Kobayashi from being sentenced to death...!"
Although they care about themselves, but...
Even if I get beheaded, I can still be resurrected, right?
And Kobayashi can guarantee that he will not be sentenced to death no matter what, because he has Alice.
"Well, don't worry, everyone."
Darkness comforted the confused crowd and asked the silver-haired thief, “Chris, have you got any information about the labyrinth?”
"Well, of course!"
Chris gave a thumbs up.
Xiaolin asked curiously, "Huh? What is it, Chris?"
"About the labyrinth. It's true that the labyrinth couldn't be found, but after various investigations, a target was finally identified. Because of this, there was a commotion in the town of Alcanretia... Xiaolin, your eyes are so scary?"
Because if this town gets in turmoil, bad things will happen!
Just then, two people ran by in a hurry.
"Hey, hey, the Axis cultists are going to use that power to create a miracle again!"
"Really? This has been going on for several days in a row?"
“I think it’s the fifth time! To be honest, I’ve always thought that the Axis Cultists were suspicious, but after seeing that scene, I couldn’t help but change my opinion.”
“Ah, I didn’t expect that I could really use Aqua’s power…”
This sensitive keyword.
"Eh?"
Aqua was slightly stunned.
What the hell is her power? She just arrived in this town.
"Look, it's about to start, go check it out!"
"Oh! Let's go!"
The two men left in a hurry.
Like there's something urgent.
Xiao Lin looked at their departing backs and subconsciously asked, "...What was that conversation just now?"
“Yes, yes! That’s what happened just now! That’s what happened just now! The power of God used by the Axis believers! This is the hottest topic in Alcanretia right now. It’s faster to go and watch it directly. Let’s go and watch it right away!”
Chris said and turned and ran.
“Ah, Chris!… Damn, you’re really good at running away. You’re a natural thief after all. But, what is that power of Aqua you just mentioned…”
“…Even if you ask me that, I don’t know.”
There was clear stupidity in Aqua's eyes.
I really can't count on her.
Forget it, let’s go and take a look.
With curiosity in mind, the group ran towards where the crowd gathered.
I saw a man in the crowd, wearing Axis religious uniform, and he was saying something to the onlookers.
"Come on, come on, everyone gather here. Next, I will show you the power of the God of Water that Aqua-sama has given me because of my usual faith!"
There was loud cheering all around.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh: "So many people have gathered here."
"Because the show is so gorgeous. It's been happening every day since a few days ago, and now it's become a very popular show," Chris explained with a smile.
Hey, isn’t this just street performance?
As expected, what kind of main god there is, what kind of believers there will be.
Megumin was surprised. “Is this the goal Chris was talking about? I just think this is some Axis cultist talking nonsense.”
"Okay, okay, no rush. Let's see what he will do first."
"Aha……"
After hearing what Chris said, the others stopped making noise and focused on looking at the Axis cultist in the crowd.
I just don't know what he will do next.
“Come on, look, everyone. This is the power of Aqua-sama, the power of a devout Axis believer…! Haaaaaa! Lake, part!”
The man shouted toward the river that ran through Alcanretia, and slowly stretched out his hands.
Rumbling--
The ground was shaking, and the lake began to separate to the sides. As everyone was puzzled, the lake gradually separated to reveal the mud inside. And at the bottom of the lake, something like a temple appeared, white, tall, and looked particularly sacred.
"Oh……"
“Ohhhhh——!”
This time, even Kobayashi and the others were surprised.
Darkness exclaimed, “Are you kidding me? The lake really parted…?!”
“And there’s something like a temple at the bottom of the lake!” Huihui also screamed.
Youyou whispered, "What is this? Magic? Did you use magic?"
stare----
Xiaolin stared at the stupid goddess.
This is the headquarters of the Axis Cult, and Aqua is the idiot goddess worshipped by this idiot church. If there is anything, it is definitely closely related to her.
"Even if you looked at me like that, I didn't do anything!"
Aqua quickly explained in a low voice.
Well, Xiaolin thought about it and it made sense. This guy was already hated by everyone in Alcanretia, so how could he do something like this?
Unless she did it when she was still a goddess.
Chris laughed and said, "Hahaha, that's a good reaction. I was also shocked when I saw it for the first time."
"... Could it be that this is the target maze?"
"That's right! The only labyrinth that Alcanretiaf's skills confirmed was the underwater temple! It was only confirmed in the past few days. No one knew about it before the lake parted."
"Is that true?"
Darkness covered her head with her hands in pain.
Xiao Lin pondered, "The temple sank into the lake...so it left behind records from a long time ago, and no one knows about it now."
"That's it. It meets all the requirements, right?"
Chris's face was filled with smiles.
Youyou complained: "Indeed, except for the fact that it's unreasonable, it's simply perfect..."
“But, it seems that it only appeared when the lake water separated. How long will that state last?” Darkness was curious about this.
So does Kobayashi.
After all, the required materials are in the temple. If they go down and the lake closes up, they will be drowned by accident...
"That depends on the efforts of the Axis cultist."
"Hello..."
She looked very uncertain.
Chris waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I won't joke around for now. From what I've observed every time, it seems to stay like this before sunset. There's still some time before sunset, so it's okay to challenge it today. Oh, and I want to join the team too. If you want to go to the underwater temple, take me with you. Please give me your advice, Xiaolin!"
"Ah, please teach me!"
Xiaolin shook hands with her.
Honestly speaking, with all levels reset to zero, it is clear that Chris is more reliable than these problem children.
Xiaolin prefers to team up with her.
but……
"The underwater temple sleeping at the bottom of the lake?"
"It's getting ridiculous again."
“But I feel relieved now that I’ve found the labyrinth. If it weren’t for the street performances of the Axis cultists, I would never have found it.”
“That’s true.”
Krillin didn’t comment on what Darkness and Megumin said. Then, he turned to look at the stupid goddess.
“…Hey, Aqua.”
"what?"
"I'll ask you again, is it really none of your business?"
"The divided lake? Um, I don't know anything."
She said it decisively.
Xiaolin also wanted to believe it.
"But if it had nothing to do with Aqua, how could the Axis believers be able to separate the lake?"
"Didn't he say it himself? His power was awakened because of his sincere faith in me. Hehe, I'm so proud~!"
"How is that possible? It's too unreasonable no matter how you look at it!"
Complaining to the smug idiot goddess.
……Um?
At this time, two more Axis Christian women were talking not far from them. Kobayashi signaled them to keep quiet and at the same time pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.
"So that guy is busking again?"
"It seems so. The lake will automatically separate when the time comes, and he insists that it is his own power."
"If this can attract believers, that's good. But what's going on, eh?"
"Who knows? I don't know either. Isn't it enough to be able to use it?"
"That's right. We also have to work hard to persuade the believers."
After they finished talking, they left in a hurry.
After pondering for a long time, Kobayashi looked at the stupid goddess with sweat on her forehead beside him.
"Hey, Aqua."
"What's wrong, Mr. Kobayashi? Let's go."
"Wait a minute! Did you hear what the believer just said?"
"Ahhhh, I didn't hear anything!"
Aqua covered her ears, as if she didn't want to hear anything, and ran quickly towards the temple at the bottom of the lake.
This guy……
But it is also true. After all, they are Axis believers, so it is natural for them to do this.
Everyone followed.
Walking on the soft mud and sand on the seabed, the group arrived near the temple.
This really is the bottom of the lake.
Chris clapped his hands and said to them, "Then hurry in! ... ah?"
"What's wrong, Chris? Not moving on?"
"No, I wanted to go in... What is this? It seems to have a barrier."
As Darkness asked, she kept touching the air.
wrong.
To be precise, it is a barrier.
"Boundary..."
"Leave this matter to me!"
Chris slammed his tablet and said, "I will be with you while you search for the magic stone in the underwater temple. This barrier... is that!"
She turned over the slab of stone near the entrance.
I don't know what this is doing.
Soon, Chris ran back.
"That's all right now. I just broke a corner of the barrier and now I can get in. This way, I think people in the city won't get in by mistake."
"Thank you, Chris."
"That's awesome."
“That’s very thoughtful.”
Everyone praised him.
Chris puffed out his chest with pride.
"Okay."
With her help, the group was finally able to enter the temple and find the materials they needed.
----
"Ah, isn't it beautiful? As expected of the temple of Alcanretia!"
Aqua praised.
The temple at the bottom of the lake was originally a rather dirty, dilapidated, ruined building, but it turned out to be very clean and tidy inside, though it seemed a little shabby as it had not been repaired for a long time. But this gave it a sense of history.
"What kind of structure is it..."
"The protection of the Goddess of Water..."
Chris' tone was a little strange.
"Wow?!" Youyou suddenly screamed, "Water drops are falling on my head!"
Well, after all, we were soaking at the bottom of the lake, so it was normal for there to be water.
"By the way, this temple sank into the lake..."
"An ancient temple. As far as I know, this doesn't seem to be what Eris taught."
As a paladin of the Church of Eris, Darkness’ words are very important, but of course, they are not as important as those of Chris, whose true identity is the goddess Eris.
"Well, in Alcanretia, it's the temple dedicated to Aqua, right?"
"Of course. Look, my statue is also being worshipped! Ah...wait! Why is my statue in tatters?!"
Aqua saw the statue in the corner and started screaming again.
