In the black space, Xiao Lin's back was leaning on the wooden chair, as if he had no bones in his body.
He raised his head and his body sank. There was no light in his eyes, and he was like a salted fish without dreams.
On the opposite side, there was a large chair, with a petite and cute goddess sitting on it, with an embarrassed expression on her face that she wanted to be comforted but didn't know how to comfort her.
Eris scratched his cheek and asked softly: "That...Mr. Xiaolin?"
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!" Xiaolin suddenly howled loudly.
"Eh, eh?!"
A sudden howl startled the kind goddess. She was curled up and shivering pitifully, and was shocked by the man's sudden and scary behavior.
But this is just the beginning.
Xiaolin started to complain loudly and vomited bitterly to Eris: "That stupid goddess! She always misses the key at the critical moment! It's about to end beautifully, but there is a big fireworks at the end! Do you want to celebrate? Are you using my life to celebrate?! Besides, is that a small problem?! It's an explosion, an explosion! Can this be called a small problem?!"
When you are tired, destroy it quickly.
His eyes were dim and dull, returning to the look of the salted fish who had just lost hope in life.
"T-that... I'm sorry."
Eris really didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only apologize in a low voice.
What a kind goddess!
Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh.
It was obviously not the goddess's fault, but she apologized in order to make him feel better.
He had begun to regret his previous choices.
Xiao Lin looked at Eris and couldn't help but ask: "Is it really not possible to replace someone?"
"...Sorry, no."
"I guess so."
Eris' answer was as expected, and the question just now was just his subconscious expectation.
"I, otherwise I will go to heaven like this."
Xiaolin murmured.
He had to take care of problem children every day, and he always caused trouble for him and was forced to wipe their butts.
This kind of life is too torture.
I feel so tired and want to retire.
Eris hated to see anyone depressed, so she quickly said: "Mr. Xiaolin, please don't be so pessimistic and think about the good things. At least you saved the villagers of Axel, right? ?」
"Haha, if it hadn't exploded, it would have saved the villagers." Xiao Lin's laughter was aggrieved.
The core of the Destroyer is the Sunstone.
It is a stone with great energy and can drive a huge mobile fortress for hundreds of years. One can imagine the energy it contains.
It's at least ten times more powerful than explosion magic, so it's not an exaggeration to say it's the only one in the box.
Originally, Kobayashi's plan was to push the mobile fortress into the sky, reach a high enough height and quickly evacuate with speed, so that even if there was an explosion, it would not affect Axel, and even the falling debris would be burned due to acceleration. All.
However--
When it exploded, instead of leaving the town, Axel suffered secondary damage due to the explosion of the mecha.
Many adventurers and villagers must have been injured. When he thought of this, Xiao Lin's expression became quite uncomfortable.
Eris also understands his troubles, because she often goes to the lower world to clean up other people's messes. In addition, the Destroyer passed through her town some time ago, so she naturally knows how terrible it is.
She didn't know how to comfort him.
The two were silent for a while.
On the contrary, Xiao Lin came out first. He patted his cheeks with both hands and made a "pop" sound, his cheeks turned red.
Eris looked at him suspiciously.
Xiao Lin asked himself to wake up and stop thinking about miscellaneous things. At least he knew that it was better to be affected by the explosion than to be flattened by the Destroyer.
He told Eris his thoughts and was highly praised by the goddess.
The kind goddess encouraged: "
That's right, Mr. Kobayashi! The Destroyer's power is obvious to all. Even if he made some mistakes, he still saved the town anyway. He can be proud of it! Even in the kingdom, he can be called a hero! "
"I hope so."
Xiao Lin can only force optimism now.
The atmosphere became slightly more cheerful.
Then, Xiaolin began to think. Because the Mobile Fortress Destroyer arrived so quickly, he still hadn't figured out some things.
Now that the incident was over, he had many questions to ask.
There are also questions about Eris.
"Eris, I remember I asked you to lure the Destroyer away before, and you also told me that the route of action was changed to a deserted mountain, but why did it correct its route and come back?" Xiaolin asked.
Eris put her hand on her chin, pretending to be thinking, and said, "This is also my doubt. I obviously took it away, why did it come back? I remember that the only thing that attracted it was the powerful energy that exploded in an instant. But it’s winter and no one comes out to do the mission.”
"...Wait, a powerful burst of energy in an instant?"
"That's right. After all, it is a war weapon against the Demon King's army. It will go wherever there is a battle. And the characteristic of the Sunstone is that it is easily attracted by heat, so it destroys it aimlessly."
As she explained, Xiao Lin's expression changed.
He remembered the previous series of explosions.
That's right, it was because he used hundreds of crystal bombs to cause great damage when he insisted on killing General Dong in a fit of passion.
So that's the one, right? !
By the way, it's all my fault!
Xiao Lin's expression was very complicated. Without someone to blame, he suddenly didn't know how to vent his anger.
"That...Mr. Kobayashi?"
"No, it's okay."
Xiaolin hesitated for a while, but finally told Eris about it.
After hearing the reason, the kind goddess felt bad. She wanted to blame but couldn't say the words.
Not only did Kobayashi not know the reason for the Destroyer's actions, but also if the route was not changed, he would eventually go to Axel. The most important thing is that the man in front of him saved Axel.
Eris didn't speak, but Xiaolin still didn't dare to look at her.
Silent criticism is the most painful thing.
Fortunately, Aqua's voice intervened: "Hey! Xiaolin! It's time to be resurrected! Hurry up and get back from that breast pad goddess!"
Quite excessive and outrageous.
Xiaolin could see that Eris was not feeling well.
The goddess's face was flushed with tears, and she pitifully looked like she was begging Xiao Lin not to spread the word.
She probably forgot that Xiao Lin had already spread "Eris' breasts are padded" as a doctrine throughout the Theocracy.
Of course, Xiao Lin will not be uninterested.
After ensuring with his eyes that the news would not spread, he hurriedly bid farewell to Eris and followed Aqua's call to ascend to heaven.
Opening his eyes again, the aqua blue figure was very close.
I could smell the sweet fragrance coming from her body, and I could see the concern in her pure aqua eyes.
My heart felt warm.
Seeing Xiao Lin open his eyes, Aqua relaxed and said, "Phew, I was scared to death. Half of my body was gone, and I thought the goddess power couldn't be resurrected. Humph, you are worthy of me!"
Give me my touch back, you stupid goddess!
"Wow, I'm really alive!" Megumin exclaimed.
Darkness also said: "He is indeed the most powerful high priest of Axel. You are so powerful, Aqua!"
Sato Kazuma curled his lips and said, "That's all she can do."
You're right, that's all Aqua can do.
Xiao Lin strongly agrees with this point.
Liu Zi caressed his cheek and said, "Can you be resurrected even if half of your body is gone? You really have tenacious vitality.
, the same as Xiaoqiang. "
Aqua's usual venomous tongue displeased her.
She yelled: "Wait, wait! Shouldn't you praise me at this time? Isn't it all my credit for resurrecting such a shabby Xiaolin?"
Hearing these words, Xiao Lin felt unhappy: "Then, which stupid goddess is the one who caused me to be blown up to pieces? Huh?!"
"This, this..."
Aqua's eyes were darting around, not daring to respond at all.
She was definitely guilty. No matter what, it was her fault that the mecha exploded.
The most important thing is that she didn't tell Xiao Lin about the invisible danger of the mecha exploding, because she thought it was harmless, so she hid it.
Xiaolin simply sat up, and Aqua was so frightened that she immediately ran behind Darkness, looking timid, fearing that Xiaolin would settle the score with her.
But I have no intention of scolding her now.
Stand up and look around.
Since the height of the explosion did not reach the standard, Axel's Novice Village was still affected. Countless stones and mecha fragments were scattered throughout the town, and the houses and streets were all smashed into pieces. But this is not so bad, the worst is the plains. Because the Destroyer continuously released rays from underneath him, the entire plain was pitted.
What you see is devastation.
This is too tragic.
Xiao Lin sighed slightly, and at the same time he felt happy in his heart.
In an explosion of this intensity, it can be said that he was lucky to still have half of his body left.
What's even more fortunate is that he didn't wear the necklace when piloting the mecha.
Yes.
When he had a bad premonition, he deliberately took off the blue crystal necklace and the Elf Curse Seal necklace and gave them to Liu Zi for safekeeping.
After all, Aqua can be resurrected infinitely, but he is more worried about the equipment.
Who is his favorite equipment?
Xiao Lin watched the villagers coming in from the other side of the city gate and asked, "Are the villagers injured this time?"
"No." Sato Kazuma replied: "Because the villagers retreated in time, no one was injured."
"What about the adventurers?"
"No. In other words, he was injured, but he was healed by the idiot high priest next to him."
"Yeah."
Xiao Lin nodded assuredly.
At this time, Dast and other adventurers also happily gathered around him. As soon as they came up, they surrounded Xiao Lin, and then kept roaming his body with their hands.
Xiao Lin kept shrinking his shoulders in fear.
Because of the explosion, his clothes were destroyed. Although Liu Zi put on a pair of pants for him in time, his upper body was still naked.
Anyone would be nervous and scared if they were touched by a group of men, okay?
But don't get me wrong, they don't have weird ideas. Instead, he put him down and then lifted him up, throwing him high and then catching him steadily, and so on.
"That's great, Xiaolin!"
"You saved the town!"
"you are my hero!"
"hero!"
"hero!"
"hero!"
…
The cheers resounded on the city walls and continued to spread, reaching the ears of other adventurers, the ears of the villagers who had just returned to the town, and the ears of everyone.
In this way, Xiao Lin became the hero who saved the town. Although he felt guilty and felt that he was not qualified to be called a hero.
Megumin liked this kind of occasion very much, and she looked at Xiaolin with eager eyes. This is not a feeling of like or admiration, but envy. She also hopes to turn the tide and save the town and then be praised as a hero. That's why she is so keen on defeating the Demon King and spreading her name.
Sato Kazuma is the complete opposite. If he has to die and be blown up to the sky to become a hero, then he will not be grateful for it. Not to mention, even if his mecha explodes, he may not be able to stop the Destroyer.
Darkness smiled softly and looked at Xiaolin silently, wondering what she was thinking.
Liu Zi also pursed her lips, Xiao Lin was able to shine, and she was honored as a waiter.
The most pitiable one is Aqua.
This stupid goddess keeps asking for credit loudly. She likes to show off and wants to show off her presence. Unfortunately, the protagonist this time is Xiaolin, so she doesn't have any chance to appear.
After a while of commotion.
"Xiao Lin! Don't you have anything to say?"
"What?"
"Don't you have anything you want to say?"
Just like every battle must have an ending, every win must have a speech, Dast also urged Xiaolin to say something.
Be it encouraging words or inspiring words.
As a member of the Knights, he understood that this was a great opportunity to enhance his reputation.
Xiao Lin thought for a while and said: "I want to say that stopping the Destroyer this time is not my personal credit, or it is not the credit of any one person. It is all thanks to everyone's help, you evacuated the villagers, and you laid the trap , only you who induce the Destroyer can allow me to free my hands and go for a big fight. This is our common victory!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"
"aweason!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Everyone clapped and cheered.
This was just the simplest polite words, but I couldn't bear to hear them. Even though all they did was useless and they could only watch the show from the side, Xiao Lin still didn't forget them.
This suddenly greatly improved Xiao Lin's popularity.
The whole Axel fell into a sea of joy.
Being able to successfully intercept the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, even if most of the towns and plains were destroyed, is enough to show off.
Originally they couldn't speak out because they didn't contribute.
But things are different now.
Xiao Lin said that this was everyone's contribution. Of course, they could shamelessly say that they had made a contribution and brag about what they had done in the guild all day long. Even if it was setting a trap, they would have to boast that it was the key to stopping the Destroyer.
But while everyone was still immersed in joy and joy, Xiao Lin was not feeling well.
His hand was holding a piece of paper, trembling slightly.
It says
[Arrearage, 8900 Eris]
That’s right, we all start with the receipt in front of us.
