Chapter 531 New Skill: Walking with God
Sato Kazuma has a clear plan.
He felt that arresting a petty thief was no problem at all. As long as Doraemon of the team made a slight move, he could easily capture the opponent. After all, [Five Visions Universal (more than five)] was extremely powerful.
however--
"Sorry, I can't help."
"Why!"
Early in the morning of the second day after the banquet, Sato Kazuma hurried to find Kobayashi, hoping that he could help arrest the chivalrous thief who was causing trouble in the royal capital.
Of course, there are rewards.
For example, he would assist in supporting Kobayashi, and would not take a penny of the reward after arresting the thief. At the same time, he would also give a portion of the profits received from the nobles - about 10% - to Kobayashi.
I have to say it is very generous.
Kobayashi didn't know how much money this man, who was very suitable to be a businessman, had taken out from the nobles' piggy banks, but he was sure it would not be a small amount.
It was a pity that he would not betray Eris and would not help no matter how much money was offered, so he decisively rejected his request.
At the same time, and most importantly, he couldn't tell anyone about Eris being a chivalrous thief. Right now, Kureya and Rain - the nobles in the capital all took this matter very seriously. If he did something strange, he would easily be mistaken for her companion.
Kobayashi had a premonition that this would happen, just as he believed in Sato Kazuma, believing that this would definitely happen.
As for the excuse, Xiaolin has already thought of it.
"I still have work to do teaching Alice, how can I possibly help arrest... the chivalrous thief?"
"Brother, aren't you going?"
The little girl's voice is very soft
He noticed that Princess Alice's eyes were sparkling, and she hoped that her brother would be a hero who saved the world. That expectant look made him feel tremendous pressure.
No, don't look at me like that!
He wanted to refuse, but the expectant look in her eyes made Xiaolin's firm thoughts waver. Was she really looking forward to catching the chivalrous thief, or did she just want to know who the chivalrous thief she admired was?
"I know, I'll help!"
Finally, he surrendered.
I'm sorry, I succumbed to my sister's eye attack.
"Good! Well done, Alice!"
"Yes! Onii-sama!"
Sato Kazuma and Princess Alice clapped their hands in the air as if celebrating the success of their plan.
This scumbag must have seen through my bad ability to say no, so he wanted Alice, who was already interested in me, to beg for mercy as well. You can tell from his smug expression.
Kobayashi glared at him fiercely. Knowing that he was too cocky, Sato Kazuma quickly turned his head and whistled, pretending that he knew nothing.
Princess Alice clasped her fingers together, with an apologetic look on her cute little face.
"Have I caused trouble for my brother?"
"How could that be! Don't worry, my brother will definitely catch that chivalrous thief and make that man regret it for the rest of his life!"
Kobayashi's gritting of teeth made Sato Kazuma tremble.
For some reason, he always felt something was wrong.
At this time, Aqua and Megumin also came to join in the fun, and they spoke one after another:
“Really, Kazuma, you’re going to die if you don’t cause trouble, right? You actually got us into trouble for something like this. I helped you out of helplessness. Please don’t talk about me like this and that anymore. Really, Kazuma, you’re really something!”
"That's what I mean! From now on, you can no longer say that we are trouble makers who cause trouble all day long! But we are companions, so of course I will help you and will not abandon you!"
The two people who were only concerned with eating and drinking at the party last night are now doing this with a smug look on their faces.
Kobayashi couldn't imagine the reason.
If they want to live in the royal palace, they don't need any help. They can just borrow Kobayashi's name and live comfortably here, eating and drinking to their heart's content without any worries. Why make themselves uncomfortable?
Afterwards, Kobayashi soon found out the reason.
“Kazuma, since I’ve helped, I want a share of the profits from the nobles, too. It doesn’t have to be much, just give me 30%. As for the bounty for catching the chivalrous thief, if you don’t want it, I’ll split it with Megumin and Krillin.”
“Me too, me too. It’s fine if I’m the same as Aqua. Also, can the bounty for the chivalrous thief be changed to whoever catches the thief get it? With my explosion magic, I can definitely catch him in one shot!”
It turns out that these two people were eyeing the reward, and they were asking for a huge amount!
Even Kobayashi only gets 10% of the dividends, but these two idiots asked for 30%. If Sato Kazuma deducts the principal from this share, he will not only not make any money, but will also have to lose a lot of money.
How could he possibly accept this?
Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Stop joking, I don't need you."
“Wait, wait, Kazuma! Can we discuss this? Issei! How about an Issei like Krillin? I’m the high priest. It’s no exaggeration to say that there’s no high priest as powerful as me in the royal city! And I guess the thief might be a ghost or something like that. Think about it, after all, the knights and guards of the royal capital can’t find any clues, maybe it’s the lich who’s doing the evil!”
"...You, please don't blame all the sins on the lich, okay?" Sato Kazuma was speechless at the stupid goddess's outrageous remarks.
However, her guess was reasonable. To be able to steal things without being discovered, the chivalrous thief might really be an invisible being like a ghost. And Aqua was a genuine goddess. There was definitely no better high priestess than her in the royal capital.
"Right? The chivalrous thief is a ghost that I can drive away, I can heal accidental injuries, and I can also set up defensive barriers. Is there any helper who is more cost-effective than me?"
Aqua, who was trying hard to promote herself, was like a new employee being interviewed by a big company.
This is not good. I finally understand why those presidents are so high and mighty. It feels great to control people like this! This is how I will deal with Aqua from now on.
An evil and sinister smile appeared on Sato Kazuma's face.
"Okay, adopt it!"
"Thank you for your patronage! Mr. Kazuma, you will be happy with this wise decision."
The stupid goddess looks like a complete lackey.
It's really embarrassing.
Huihui was not to be outdone and said, “Wait a minute! I have my strengths too! My Explosion Magic is humanity’s ultimate attack magic, and its power is self-evident. If the enemy is extremely powerful, I can also render him powerless in an instant!”
“…Are you kidding me? Do you know how much trouble your explosion magic has caused the team so far? You use explosion magic without paying attention to others, and you don’t listen to advice no matter what. There are countless repair orders sent to the mansion every day, and most of the bounties for defeating the Demon King’s army cadres have been handed over! This time we are arresting the chivalrous thief in the city, there is no room for you to show your abilities!”
Sato Kazuma didn't dare to activate the Explosive Little Lolita at all.
You have to know that this place is not like a rural town like Axel. The buildings and facilities in the royal capital are more prosperous and dense. If an explosive magic is not controlled, it may affect many innocent civilians. Then you will be regarded as a reactionary in collusion with the Demon King's army and you will be doomed!
In that case, it would be better to be considered as a member of the same group as the chivalrous thief. At least he would not be sentenced to death.
"Oh my! Wait a minute, Boss Kazuma, I have another story to tell."
"You really won't give up... Well, then just tell me. No matter what you say, I won't agree to it."
“Don’t be so absolute, Boss Kazuma.”
The little girl's smile is very confident, and she seems to be very confident.
She first organized her words before slowly speaking, "Boss Kazuma, I don't deny what Aqua said about the enemy being a lich or a ghost, but please think about it, if the enemy is not a lich or a ghost, can Aqua still stop the chivalrous thief?"
"hiss----"
Sato Kazuma took a breath.
Indeed, Aqua is an expert in dealing with enemies like liches, ghosts, and demons. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is their nemesis. But once the enemy is a human or a monster, Aqua is helpless. For details, please refer to Chapter 3 where she fought with a giant toad and was eaten.
"But there's no need. We have Senior Kobayashi. He's your replacement."
"……Eh?"
"Leave enemies like liches and ghosts to Aqua, and leave enemies like humans and monsters to Senior Kobayashi. After all, you only have one shot, so you don't have any room to play, right?"
"how come!"
Huihui woke up suddenly, and then she glared at Kobayashi angrily, as if she was angry at Kobayashi for stealing her job.
It's not his fault.
Kobayashi scratched his head and was about to take advantage of the situation to withdraw when Huihui sighed deeply, like a deflated ball, and then pulled the unsuspecting Youyou over.
"There's no other way! Then let's add Youyou!"
"W-what?"
“What do you think, Boss Kazuma! If you hire me, I will bring Youyou along too! Unlike me, Youyou is the most outstanding Grand Mage of the Crimson Demons! Hire two Grand Mages for the same price, buy one get one free!”
“Mei, Mei Hui???”
Youyou exclaimed.
Kobayashi was somewhat helpless about Huihui's desperate efforts. In order to make money, the little loli even went so far as to give the title of the most outstanding great magician of the Crimson Demon Clan to her opponent.
But no matter how you think about it, you won't agree, right?
Sudden--
Sato Kazuma pinched his chin and muttered softly, "Buy one get one free? Huihui is a time bomb. Her presence will definitely cause trouble in the end. It is undoubtedly a double-edged sword. But Yunyun is different. Her presence can stabilize Huihui. And we don't know how many chivalrous thieves there are. It won't matter if she is added? The most important thing is, buy one get one free!"
I don’t know if it was the buy one get one free offer that stimulated Sato Kazuma, but he began to calculate the pros and cons.
Not bad, Huihui.
Just like merchants want to stimulate customers to consume, originally for the same product, they will definitely choose the one with the lower price. But once the buy one get one free promotion lowers the price of a single product, it is easy to imagine which one the customer will choose.
But did you forget that Xiaolin was here?
Forget it. He is probably in a state where he obviously doesn’t need it but can’t help buying it because the price is so low. I won’t remind him.
The agreement was quickly reached and the entire team was determined to go.
In the end, I don't know what the talent selection just now is for. No, it is still useful. At least Darkness doesn't need a bounty. According to her words, companions helping each other does not need rewards. Sato Kazuma was very moved.
In fact, Kobayashi understood that Darkness had to follow because she was afraid that Sato Kazuma, Aqua and other problem children would cause trouble.
The team also hoped that Darkness would follow them. After all, the name of the Dustinis family was quite useful in the capital. Sometimes, even if they got into trouble, there would be someone to help clean up the mess.
Before arresting the chivalrous thief, Kobayashi asks Aqua to renew his favor.
【Xiao Lin???】
LV 8
Power: A878
Durability: A856
Smart: A899
Agility: A843
Magic: A885
Skills: [Heroes of Another World] [Along with the Gods]
Magic: [Parody]
As Xiaolin thought, he had new skills.
Walking with God
·missionary.
·Can use faith power.
Undead Nemesis.
Depending on the output of faith, the damage to the undead is increased or reduced.
……
There is power in the simplicity and brutality, and the malice towards the undead is fully reflected in just a few words.
The inspiration for skills is not only related to experience points but also to one's nature or interests. Krillin was able to obtain [Along with the Gods] probably because of Ainz Ooal Gown, and his strong desire to defeat the opponent influenced him.
Being able to use the power of faith may have already reached the realm of gods.
As for level...
"No changes?"
Unlike "Momoharu", it is not simply obtained by defeating monsters, but can be obtained through various behaviors, which is a phenomenon experienced.
In other words, this value is the history of one's life. The gods will extract a track called "killing a monster" buried in this history and turn it into nutrients for growth.
However, Krillin did not actually use his own body to fight the powerful enemy, so this projection that only exists in the world of "Bone King" cannot be extracted.
This is also to be expected.
After all, if one could go to dungeons at will to become stronger without any danger to one's life, then this world would be too crazy and the world would be full of bugs.
Forget it, don’t be too greedy.
When he came back from "The Earthly Wrong", he was already at level 6 and could level up, but he chose to temporarily hold back on leveling up in order to fill up his experience points. After "Re:Zero", he leveled up to level 8. By the way, defeating the Demon King's Army cadre Sylvia was not enough to level him up, and it didn't even count as a [Great Achievement].
He didn't gain any experience points from the battle with Bone King, but he did have great achievements. If he wanted, he could upgrade to LV9 at any time. You know, in "The Hera Family" as a thousand-year-old faction, the Queen is the only LⅤ among them, and he can also be one of them.
No, no, no, don't be impatient.
Perfection is his main theme. Unlike deliberately suppressing his own strength, increasing his experience points to a higher level will be beneficial to his future development, so he must not be in a hurry!
Xiaolin calmed down his restless heart.
Princess Alice saw this and asked curiously, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"Ah, this is a favor, a way to become stronger, it can..."
Kobayashi explained to her what grace was, while Aqua's mind started to work rapidly.
Granting favor = joining the clan = Axis = state religion = defeating Eris!
The conversion formula is established!
Aqua's eyes lit up, and she ran towards Alice like a pervert, drooling as she ran, shouting, "Alice, let me grant you a favor... wuwuwuwuwuwu!"
Before she could finish her words, she was held down by Sato Kazuma and several others.
“Idiot! What on earth are you thinking? How could a princess of a country join the mentally ill Axis Cult? Do you want this world to be destroyed?!”
“That’s what I’m saying, Aqua, please don’t do anything rash!”
"I'm sorry Aqua, I didn't want to do this, but Kazuma gave me too much."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Only Aqua wanted Princess Alice to join the Axis Church so much, and then make her church the state religion. Unfortunately, due to the strong opposition from her companions, she was unable to achieve this great feat and could only give up in tears.
Idiot, how could I let you succeed?
Xiaolin rolled his eyes.
