In the magic item shop, Xiaolin and Wiz sat opposite each other, and between them was a magic item with colorful and chaotic light.
That’s right, it’s [Narrator]!
Wiz clicked the crystal ball on the table and said awkwardly: "In other words, its real ability is not the additional amplification effect?"
"That's right." Xiao Lin nodded tiredly.
Xiaolin has been testing it for several days after getting it, and finally confirmed its true function yesterday.
After absorbing magic and mental power, a [narrator] will appear in the mind, which will amplify the user's evil thoughts and absorb energy. During this period, it will continue to say dirty words to encourage the user to be more evil. And when it absorbs enough evil thoughts, it will control the user's body and force it to complete the last evil thought.
Originally it was supposed to be an evil magic item, but some people relied on it to complete their confessions and successfully succeeded, so it became a strange rumor that it would add BUFF to people.
"Besides, even if the confession is successful, it's not the magic tool's credit! It's obviously a last-minute mistake. It accidentally gave some cowards enough courage to succeed. Why should it be given the credit for such a coincidence!"
Xiao Lin was very angry because it caused him a lot of suffering.
But Liu Zi, the poisonous-tongued waiter beside him, exposed it: "But didn't Master Xiaolin also use it to do some things that cowards wouldn't dare to do? For example, in the bathroom with Master Darkness——"
"Ahhhh!!! Stop! Stop!"
Xiao Lin quickly interrupted her.
Although you can use the excuse "Didn't you add fuel to the flames at that time" as an excuse, in the eyes of others, no matter what you say now, it will only be a pale excuse.
Not to mention, he did use magic items to attack other people in the team.
The innocent Lich lady——Wiz blinked incomprehensively, with doubts in her big bright eyes, and asked softly: "Well, what's wrong? Could it be that the magic items have caused trouble to Mr. Kobayashi? If that's the case If...that's the case, I'm really sorry!"
She stood up simply, like a primary school student who immediately admits her mistake when she did something wrong, and then bowed to Xiao Lin and apologized.
It's just that her beautiful body is not comparable to that of an elementary school student, especially the shock of bowing that almost got stuck on her face. I have the urge to use the magic item again in front of her.
"It's not your fault, Wiz. It's just that I was too curious and underestimated it." Xiaolin took the initiative to admit his fault, while leaning back slightly, away from the uncontrollable fragrance.
"Really? Does it really matter?"
"No, it's okay!"
Wiz continued to pounce, his huge chest constantly occupying the small space, and Xiao Lin, who was leaning back, had no way to dodge.
It seems that this lich lady, who has no sense of distance, still doesn't understand how tempting she is.
After hearing what Xiaolin said, Wiz finally breathed a sigh of relief. She is always like this. The weak shop owner cannot accept that customers are troubled because of the magic items in the shop, even if the real fault is not hers.
He even made a request: "Otherwise, return it."
Of course, Xiao Lin refused.
It's better to have such a dangerous thing in his hands than to be left outside. If someone with an intention gets it, it will probably cause some trouble.
But there are also concerns.
That is, the problem children in the team are also troublemakers who should not be underestimated. If they are discovered in the mansion, they will definitely cause immeasurable trouble.
Looking at it this way, it seems that it would be better if someone else gets it?
No, no, no, you can't think like that.
After much thought, I could only destroy it.
It is an evil magic item in the first place, and there is no psychological burden if it is destroyed. It not only solves the worry of those idiots getting their hands on it, but also eliminates Wiz's guilt, killing two birds with one stone.
Tell Wiz what you want.
Wiz was slightly surprised after hearing this, clasped his hands and said, "Do you want to destroy it..."
That pitiful expression couldn't be a sign of reluctance, right?
Xiaolin rubbed his eyebrows and explained helplessly: "Wiz, I understand that you want to see the items in your store destroyed because of dissatisfied customers, but you have to know that it is an evil magic item and may fall into the hands of others. It will have an impact on other people, are you willing to see something like that?"
"This... okay, I understand. Please destroy it, Mr. Xiaolin." Wiz agreed after a little hesitation.
Between magic items and the safety of others, she chose the latter.
He is indeed a kind-hearted lich.
"So……"
Xiao Lin picked up the magic item and threw it to the ground.
Snapped--
With a crisp sound, the crystal ball-shaped magic item shattered on the spot, and colorful light groups emerged from the cracked place, disappearing into the air and disappearing.
At the same time, the crystal ball has no effect.
"Okay, it's been destroyed."
I felt a little regretful.
——Props are not evil, people are evil.
This sentence applies to any magic item, even the [narrator] with negative effects.
But who surrounded himself with hopelessly troubled children?
There was no choice but to destroy it.
"Well..." At this time, Wiz suddenly said: "Why don't Mr. Kobayashi choose another magic item, just as compensation for causing you unnecessary trouble these days."
Seeing Xiao Lin's regretful expression, she mistakenly thought it was reluctance.
"never mind."
Xiao Lin refused.
"but……"
"No need. Besides, are you in the red again this month? I've heard all about it. The kind-hearted owner of the magic item shop in the small town goes to the market every day to pick vegetables to eat."
"——!!!"
Wiz's body stiffened, and the lich's characteristic pale face turned slightly rosy. He shyly explained: "This, this is not a deficit, it's just some goods. No, it doesn't matter to me, those goods are really too tempting. Now! I have a hunch that they will be a big hit! They will!"
The explanation was as pale as her face.
But in order not to damage her self-confidence, Xiao Lin still agreed perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, I believe it will be a big seller."
However, Wiz could hear his disbelief in his tone, and repeated and deepened his tone: "Please believe me, Mr. Kobayashi!"
"Yes, yes, yes.".z.br>
Her reply was still disbelieving and perfunctory.
I have a headache.
Xiao Lin subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows.
He had made an agreement with Wiz. He would help her become famous, and the other party would provide free magic items of no more than 200,000 Eris per month.
It's not that Wiz hasn't been helped, it's just that Wiz's magic item shop has been as cold as the weather since winter. If he doesn't show some effect, he will be embarrassed to take the magic items.
think carefully!
Is there, is there anything I can do to help her? Something or an event that helped her become famous?
While Xiao Lin was thinking, the loudspeaker on the railing outside suddenly sounded.
【——Destroyer Alert! Destroyer alert! Mobile Fortress Destroyers are currently approaching this town! All adventurers, please be fully armed and head to the Adventurer’s Guild immediately! In addition, all residents of the town, please flee immediately——! 】
"……Eh?"
Xiao Lin blinked blankly.
He wanted to show off his skills in a certain mission and then advertise for Wiz's magic tool shop, but he never thought that it would be in such a huge and extremely difficult team mission!
And why is the Mobile Fortress Destroyer here? Didn't the goddess Eris lure it away?
In fact, long ago, in line with the idea that doing more is worse than doing less, no one in the novice village could intercept Axel.
For this reason, Kobayashi, who met the goddess every night, asked Eris to lure the Mobile Fortress Destroyer away.
Eris also readily agreed, and made it clear a few days later that the course of action had changed and that he would not run towards Axel.
But why?
Wiz's soft voice rang in his ears, and he shouted desperately: "Mr. Xiaolin, Mr. Xiaolin!"
"Yes, I am Xiao Lin." Xiao Lin woke up from his daze.
I saw that the hidden boss of Axel's Novice Village, the former ice magician of the martial arts sect, and the lich who is now one of the cadres of the Demon King's Army - Miss Wiz has completed preparations and urged Xiao Lin: "I'm sorry, look. Coming to the town is going to be in danger. I’m going to the Adventurer’s Guild now. Mr. Kobayashi, please gather your companions as soon as possible to prepare for the enemy.”
He's actually worried because the human town is about to be destroyed. What's going on with this Demon King Army cadre?
Then, the two of them split up.
When Xiao Lin returned to the mansion, there was chaos and screaming.
"Run away! The further away the better!" Aqua panicked and ran around in the hall, knocking over many things.
Megumin, who had already packed her luggage, was sitting leisurely on the sofa, drinking hot tea leisurely as if she had completely put everything behind her.
By the way, the little bundle on her back was all her property.
At this time, Sato Kazuma, who heard the broadcast, ran in from outside. Seeing Aqua and Megumin in panic, he was very puzzled. He asked Kobayashi beside him: "What's wrong with them? Why are they so panicked? Is it because of the maneuver?" Fortress destroyer? Moreover, the guild broadcasts, shouldn’t you be fully armed and go to the guild?”
Aqua was dumbfounded, holding a pillow in one hand and asked blankly: "Kazuma, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you want to deal with the Mobile Fortress Destroyer?"
Megumin thoughtfully explained: "Kazuma, what is approaching this town is the most vicious bounty target that claims not to be left with even a blade of grass except the Axis cultists after passing by - mobile Fortress Destroyer. If you want to fight that thing, it’s not an exaggeration to say that you are reckless and arrogant.”
"...Even if you say that, I have no idea."
Sato Kazuma spread his hands and complained.
His time in the lower realm is still short, and he always eats and drinks every day, so he doesn't know the horror of the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.
"Wait a minute, why did Megumin talk about my followers like that! They are all good kids, don't be so afraid!"
Aqua was yelling and yelling at the side.
Ignoring the idiot goddess who was angry because her believers were being slandered, Sato Kazuma turned to Kobayashi and asked: "What exactly is the Destroyer? I have heard this name from time to time before, but what does Mobile Fortress mean? It sounds like it is very big. Already."
"It's not that big, Sato-kun." Xiaolin extended his hands outward to make a big circle and said, "It's the size of a castle on top, so it's called a mobile fortress."
"So big?!"
Sato Kazuma was also surprised, but he reacted immediately and asked doubtfully: "Don't Megumin like the big ones the most? Wouldn't it be solved with one shot?"
In this regard, Megumin said: "No. The Destroyer is engraved with a powerful magic barrier. If it uses explosive magic, it will not be a problem to stop one or two shots."
"Then more. If you rely on magic stone crystal..."
As he spoke, Sato Kazuma shut up and stopped talking.
Because he remembered that the hundreds of magic stones and crystals Xiaolin bought had long been squandered, and the real culprit was this little loli who didn't know how to control himself.
"咻咻咻——"
Megumin turned her head and didn't dare to look at Sato Kazuma, whistling and pretending to be ignorant.
This guy……!
Sato Kazuma was furious, but now he was not in the mood to scold her.
Because there are more important things right now.
"Senior Xiaolin, what should I do?"
"Well... no matter what, we have to go to the guild first."
Kobayashi
Give your answer after thinking.
Although he was unprepared for the arrival of the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, escaping was not an option no matter what.
Whether it's him or Darkness.
"...By the way, where is Darkness?" Looking around, he found that the perverted knight in the team was missing.
Could she have gone to the guild already?
"...I'm sorry, I was too slow." Darkness appeared on the stairs on the second floor. She saw Kobayashi, Sato Kazumago, and said, "Huh? What's the matter? Go get ready quickly. With Kobayashi With your personality, you will definitely go to the guild, right?"
At this time, she was wearing heavy armor that no one had ever seen before.
In addition to the usual pure white armor, he also wore a heavy cloak made of woven chains, and even a detachable shield was installed on the gauntlet on his left hand.
It's just that she didn't wear a heavy helmet. This should be her last stubbornness as a female knight.
As expected, Darkness would not escape.
After all, she is the daughter of the Dustinis family, a noble family in the kingdom. How could she leave the people and escape alone?
Sato Kazuma was also infected.
He just mistook it for the way of chivalry and howled at Aqua and Megumin: "Hey! You two should take a good look! You have lived in this mansion and in this town for so long, and you don't have any feelings at all. Really? Come on, get ready to go to the guild!"
"...Kazuma, you are a little too enthusiastic today, and the light in the depths of your eyes is a little too sparkling. Besides...we have only lived in this mansion for a month, and you obviously can't bear to part with it."
Aqua's words immediately exposed Sato Kazuma's true thoughts.
As expected of a goddess, her complaints are sharp.
After the preparations were completed, the team came to the guild.
As soon as he came in, Dast raised his hand and said, "Hey! Xiaolin! You are indeed here! I knew you would definitely come!"
"Isn't it natural? I'm an adventurer." Kobayashi high-fived him, and Sato Kazuma did the same.
They are all companions who have been to the succubus shop together. Although they often dig holes in each other and throw dirty water on each other, at critical moments they are companions who trust each other.
Chis, Taylor, Lynn, all members of Team Dust are here.
Not only that, but surrounding the entire guild again, all adventurers appeared here with their strongest equipment.
The aura they exude is quite powerful.
Well, the powerful men who were not seen in the past were all blown up by the Destroyer. So, after the atmosphere was about the same.
"Everyone present, thank you for responding to the guild's call! Next, let's start discussing how to deal with the Mobile Fortress Destroyer!"
Under Luna's greeting, many adventurers are gearing up. It seems that the opportunity to become famous has arrived!
