Chapter 175 The Breath of Longevity Theory
"A long time ago, there was a great magister named Kiel. He fell in love at first sight with a noble daughter who happened to come to the town for a walk. However, Kiel knew that this kind of love would not be fruitful, so he put all his thoughts into Putting it in practice. Time flies like an arrow, and time flies, and finally Kiel became the best great magister in the country, and then he saw that rich lady again—"

"Okay, okay, let's stop here, don't say any more. After that, you kidnapped the daughter, and then you were hunted down, and then forced to become a lich, until now, right?"

Kobayashi didn't understand the atmosphere, so he interrupted the long speech on the lich on the chair to talk about his past, and briefly summarized the whole story.

Now they are in the deepest part of the dungeon.

To be precise, it is a hidden room.

There is only a small bed, a cabinet, and a simple table and chairs here.

There is an oil lamp on the table.Under the illumination of the light, he could see the figure of the other party clearly. It was a skeleton in a long robe with a hood pulled down and covered with a layer of dry skin.

His expression was very depressed.

"It's too much, Senior Kobayashi." His companion Sato Kazuma denounced: "This great magister (lich) is telling his glorious past, even though he really doesn't have the talent for storytelling, and he is still related to the gloomy environment. A love story that doesn’t match, you should listen to it with emotion, right?”

Your kid said more than I did.

For a while, Xiao Lin couldn't figure out whether he was really stupid, or if he was playing the opposite role.

"Because this is a poignant and beautiful love story that has been widely circulated. Although it is touching and touching, after listening to it dozens of times, I don't feel the feeling of being moved. Look, it's like a certain song that I like to listen to very much. After listening to it dozens of times, I don’t feel that way at all.”

"Even so..."

Sato Kazuma was a little convinced, but since the other party was a powerful magister, he felt that it was better to give the other party some respect.Otherwise, once the other party gets angry, they may really have unnecessary fights.

Fortunately, Keir was not angry.

He rattled the bones in his throat, waved his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not angry. However, this gentleman said that my story is widely circulated outside, is it true?"

Seeking proof turned to Kobayashi.

"it is true."

"Hehe, as expected of me."

Kyle said proudly.

Sato Kazuma scratched his head, wondering: "Really, why haven't I heard of it?"

"Because your next meeting is still short. Besides, don't you check the information first when you come to the dungeon? This is the Kiel dungeon."

"Oh oh, that's right!"

"You just discovered it. It seems that you have to accumulate more experience, Sato-kun."

Kobayashi sighed helplessly.

As we all know, it is common sense to know the mission-related information, legends, and background stories before doing the mission, otherwise you will suffer if you don't know what to pay attention to.

But it was something else that interested him most.

"Kiel, you said you've been sleeping?"

"Yes, because the undead cannot end their own lives, they have been sleeping."

"No wonder."

With Sato Kazuma's puzzled expression, Kobayashi said to him: "Look, as the great magister of the Lich, Kiel is already dry, but Wiz is juicy. What's going on?"

"That's right! If you say that, it's true..." It seemed that Sato Kazuma also realized that something was wrong.

"Why do you say it is?"

"Could it be that she has been eating vegetable leaves?"

"Or is it a different type?"

"Or treat them differently?"

The two discussed it as if no one else was there.

Kiel, who had been listening silently, seemed to realize something, and interjected: "Listen to you, is there a lich that still maintains physical activity? And she still eats?"

Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma glanced at each other: "Yes, she maintains her physical activity and eats."

"No, no, I've never heard of such a lich."

"Right, that's why we are surprised."

What happened to that poor store manager (Wiz)?

The three of them complained in unison.

Pause.

Kobayashi took the initiative to change the subject, and said to the two of them, "I'll talk about this question later. Keel, do you have any request from us? If I can help, just say it."

Not just long known relationships.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that this is a dungeon known as "necessary practice for beginners", and it has been patronized by countless adventurers long ago.And when Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma appeared, the owner of the dungeon, Keir, also appeared. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no request.

"Yes, there is indeed a request."

Kiel looked at Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma, as if confirming something.

Then, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "I originally wanted to wait here to rot away, but I felt an extraordinary divine power, which not only woke me up from a long sleep. I thought it was the High Priest down, but..."

Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma, both of them are the most elementary adventurers, and there is no high priest.

Kiel couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake.

"Holy power...?" Sato Kazuma turned to look at Kobayashi. After all, only the leader of the two has strange powers.

"The eyes are very strange, Sato-kun." Kobayashi felt that he seemed to have misunderstood something, and then took out a blue crystal necklace from his neck, and said, "The sacred power I feel should come from this."

"Well... no wonder."

Sato Kazuma looked at the necklace speechlessly.

He knew this blue crystal necklace, so he wasn't surprised after seeing it, after all, Akua would always cause trouble for them in strange places, and he had long been used to it.

"That's right, it's this sacred power."

Kiel nodded in affirmation.

That's right, he just woke up from his deep sleep because he sensed this force just now.

"So...Kiel, I can find the owner of this necklace, what can I do for you?"

"I want to ask him a favor."

"What are you busy with?"

"Can you purify me? If it is the owner who made this necklace, it should be able to do this."

Keel said very calmly.

Everyone has their own pillars for living, and when the pillars collapse, they will lose their belief in living.

Kiel's pillar is Miss Qianjin, who would rather give up her human body for the other party and become a lich.

Kind of handsome, to be honest.

And this kind of Jier lost his support after the death of Miss Qianjin, and fell into a deep sleep on his own initiative to wait for his own decay.

Kobayashi had no reason to refuse.

"Satou-kun, can I ask you to help bring Aqua down?"

"……Okay, I know."

Sato Kazuma nodded.

It seems that he was also moved by Keir's story and sincerity, so he was willing to do a little favor for the other party within his capacity.

Sato Kazuma turned and left.

Kiel took the hand of Miss Qianjin who had turned into bones and was staring at her affectionately, while Kobayashi stared at such affectionate Kiel.

As if feeling the gaze, Keir whispered, "Why, she is very beautiful. Especially the collarbone, the lines are beautiful."

"……what."

"It was really dangerous at that time. She was seriously injured and had to become a lich. She escaped from the whole world against the kingdom, and finally swallowed her last breath in this dungeon. But in such an inconvenient escape, she never Don't complain, always have a happy smile on your face."

"……what."

"Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka, that time was the happiest moment, can you feel that kind of happiness."

"……what."

Kobayashi hates poignant love stories, because he is always immersed in them unconsciously, no matter how many times he listens to them, so the best way is not to listen.

However, it was eventually infected.

Involuntarily holding Ryuzi's hand.

"Master Kobayashi..."

Feeling the great grip, Liu Zi's hands gently wrapped his right hand, as if saying that she would always be by Xiao Lin's side.

After waiting for a while, Sato Kazuma and Aqua came to the bottom floor, but both of them looked disheveled and embarrassed.

It seems that they have been through a lot.

It's just that there is no time to ask now, so I briefly told Aqua what happened and asked her to help.

The High Priest, who is part-time the goddess of water, resolutely agreed after hearing this request. After all, it is her bounden duty to be helpful (to purify the lich).

Then, she drew a magic circle in the room.

According to common sense, the size of the magic circle only needs to be enough to purify Kiel, because Miss Qianjin has already become a Buddha and ascended to heaven, but Akuya still tried her best to prove something, including Miss Qianjin's bones The whole room is wrapped in it.

After the preparations were completed, she seemed to be chewing, chanting magic word by word.A soft blue light emerges, illuminating the entire room.

Kiel murmured: "I don't know if I have made the eldest lady happy..."

"Yes! You have made her very happy!"

Kobayashi affirmed him.

The same goes for Sato Kazuma.

Even Akua showed an extremely bright and goddess-like smile with a gentle expression they had never seen before.

No, who are you!

Under Kobayashi's dumbfounded gaze, she said to Kiel in a gentle voice: "Abandoning God's will and voluntarily becoming the great magister of the Lich, Kiel. In the name of Aqua, the goddess of water, I forgive your sins... When you open your eyes again, there should be a goddess with unnaturally bulging breasts named Eris. If you don't mind the age difference, even if it's not a relationship between a man and a woman, whatever it is If you are willing to be by her side... just pray to her, let you see that young lady again, and she will definitely fulfill your wish."

Seriously, who the hell is this!
Is it a goddess?

Is the goddess coming?
Kobayashi and Sato Kazuma looked at each other, seeing each other's unbelievable eyes.

When the two were being silly, Kiel bowed deeply to Aqua in the room filled with light.

When the light dissipated, it turned back into a dark room again.The Lich Grand Magister named Kiel no longer exists, and for some reason, Miss Qianjin's skeleton also disappeared.

The four of them fell into a moment of silence in an indescribable atmosphere.

a long time.

Xiao Lin said calmly, "...let's go back."

On the way back to the ground, Sato Kazuma seemed to be a little bit troubled by Kiel's ending. He didn't care about the possibility of being discovered by monsters, and kept asking Aqua about what happened after Kiel.After getting Eris to try to help, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Kobayashi, on the other hand, carried the treasure he got from Kiel on his back, and followed the two of them without saying a word.

"Master Xiaolin, your complexion is not very good."

"...I'm fine."

It's just that he hasn't come out of the story yet, but he has a strong control over his emotions, and he will soon return to his normal state.

However, he still smelled the breath of longevity theory.

The so-called longevity theory refers to the regrettable future in which profound emotions appear pale before the relentless passage of time.

Thinking of Ryuzi, thinking of Aqua, that's why I feel anxious and sad.

He even developed a radical thought.

Just like if you don’t listen to poignant love stories, you won’t resonate with them. As long as you don’t get involved with them, you won’t care about longevity theory. If that’s the case...

"Master Kobayashi, you should practice your courage."

"Um???"

"I know you are afraid of the dark, so you hold my hand very hard, but if you keep being so timid, you will not only be laughed at by others, but also lower my evaluation."

"Feel sorry."

Kobayashi gestured to let go of her hand.

Instead, Liu Zi quickly grabbed his hand, and after holding it back, she seemed to be swearing or telling, and calmly said with firmness: "It's okay, Mr. Xiaolin. I will always be by your side until the gears stop. Until that day."

"...Thank you, Ruzi."

Kobayashi's heart warmed slightly.

Akuya also said in a cheerful tone, "Don't worry, Kobayashi. I'm a goddess. Whether it's a zombie, a lich, or other undead, nothing is a problem in front of me! And even if you die, I will It can also resurrect you! It doesn’t matter if it’s a hundred times or a thousand times, it’s fine!”

"...No, forget it, no one wants to die hundreds or thousands of times."

Kobayashi couldn't help complaining.

The consolation of the stupid goddess is surprising and touching, but her guarantee is a bit resistable, and Kobayashi is still not sensitive to death and so on.

"What are you talking about, idiot Aqua!" Seeing that the atmosphere became lively, Sato Kazuma also joined in.

"Huh? Why call me a fool!"

"Because you are an idiot! Don't even think about it, who is willing to die so many times! Besides, you always cause trouble for others, how can you help?!"

"What did you say?!"

"Don't admit it?"

Seeing that Akua still didn't know where she made a mistake, Sato and Zhenwei said in a low tone, "You don't know, right? Before you came down, Kiel said that he woke up because of a special divine power, and in the end It was found that the source was the necklace on the chest of Senior Xiaolin. That’s right, it’s the sapphire necklace you gave me.”

"You, what do you want to say?"

"So, the two of us were so easy to encounter undead monsters when we went down the dungeon. Could it be because you were there? Because Senior Xiaolin and I never encountered such a situation!"

"——!!!"

Hearing Sato Kazuma's question, Aqua couldn't help shaking, and stood stiffly in place.

After a while, she managed to squeeze out her voice, and then gave an extremely ambiguous answer: "Why, why, how, there is no such thing!...It should be..."

"Speaking of which, it was the same when you were fighting the Headless Horseman. Those undead seemed to like to gather around you."

Seeing Aqua shake her body again, Sato Kazuma silently distanced herself from her.

At this moment, the roar of some kind of creature came from far away in the darkness of the dungeon, probably because the energy that hadn't dissipated from Akua's body attracted them.

- lurking.

Sato Kazuma used his skills without any hesitation, and quickly disappeared.

"wait wait wait!"

Akuya stretched out her hand, did not stop Sato Kazuma, then turned her head once and for a while, looking at her proud disciple with tears in her eyes.

"Little Lin, don't leave me..."

The crying appearance does not have the demeanor of a goddess at all.

Seriously, who the hell was that just now?
