I like crossing the most

Chapter 248 Retiring will only lead to aging, timidity will surely invite death

"You stupid!"

A reprimand came from the lively tavern, but the surrounding area was even more lively, so that no one saw what happened in the corner.

The gods were reprimanded by the people of the lower world, so it's a pity that there is no audience.

Kobayashi expressed regret.

"What the hell are you doing! Why do you have to ask the person who is being treated to pay for the treat? Does Lord Hermes have no sense of shame? It's really embarrassing!"

Ya Sifei angrily taught Hermes a lesson, and at the same time bowed and apologized to Kobayashi repeatedly: "I'm sorry, my god is really too capricious."

"It's okay, it's okay, anyway, I asked for the treat, and it has nothing to do with God Hermes."

Kobayashi waved his hands in a nonchalant manner.

Although there was no expression on her face, she was actually giving Yasifei a thumbs up in her heart.

It's too timely, Miss Asfi!

That's right, that's how it should be!
You must severely reprimand this cheeky prodigal god, otherwise he will definitely get worse in the future!

Seeing Hermes sticking out his tongue and making a face with his back to Asfi, Kobayashi's mood suddenly became bad.

Not good!Akuya's shadow was too obvious, and she already felt physically uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kobayashi."

Ya Sifei bowed again, and said slightly awkwardly: "It's all my family's thick-skinned god, let me pay for the drink this time."

"No, no, I'll do it."

Kobayashi refused decisively.

After all, he has already agreed to the treat, even if he can't change his mind at this time.

"Miss Asfi will treat you next time."

"I see, I will treat you well."

Yasifei sincerely apologized again.

Although very sincere, although the attitude is very good, how can I put it... There is an inexplicable and formulaic feeling, as if this process has been done countless times, and it has become a subconscious action.

Why are you so proficient!

But after thinking that Hermes often leaves troublesome things to Asfi, one can understand why she is so proficient.

"I'm sorry, I'll give this bastard a good reprimand when I get back."

"Please also raise your hand."

After finishing speaking, she also gave her own Lord Shangshen a fierce look, causing Hermes to struggle.

If Yasifei hadn't hugged his arm tightly, this god-sama would have disappeared in no time.

Come outside the pub.

Kobayashi bid farewell to the two main gods.

Although Hermes was a bit out of tune, he was a good god, willing to worry about and wipe his ass for his family members... although Asfi wiped his ass more often.

"Oh, right!"

Just when Hermes was about to leave.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he slapped his head, took out a small potion bottle from his pocket, and threw it out without cherishing it.

Fortunately, Kobayashi has dexterous fingers and used silk thread to bring it into his hands.

"this is?"

"Recovery medicine."

"Why give it to me?"

"Thank you."

Hermes didn't seem to care about it.How can something that the gods take out as a thank you gift be ordinary.

Turning her head to look at Ya Sifei, trying to know something, but this mature beauty pushed her glasses, closed her eyes and mouth, and showed a non-interfering attitude.

The main reason why she would wipe Hermes' ass countless times is that when Hermes decides something, she will never interfere.

That's why you worked so hard, Ms. Asfi!
Xiao Lin put it in his arms, and thanked: "I know, I will use it well."

"……what?"

"what happened?"

"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you ask what is the effect of the medicine when you receive it?"

Hermes' indifferent attitude towards Kobayashi is very novel.

Don't play cards at all.

And Xiao Lin also understood that Hermes wanted to brag, so as to prove that the potion he took out was not some rotten parallel import.

Well, since he wanted to.

Kobayashi took on the job of being a fan, and asked: "Then, Hermes God, does this bottle of potion have any magical effects?"

"Hmph, this is a precious potion I got from the ruins. It is a super recovery potion with only one bottle!"

Hermes puffed out his chest and showed off loudly.

Ya Sifei also nodded slightly, indicating that what her god said was correct.

This bottle of potion is indeed a treasure obtained from the ruins, and its efficacy is better than any potion on the market, even if it is a panacea.

Potions in the Labyrinth City are divided into low-level, middle-level, high-level, and panacea.

Although the panacea cannot revive the dead or cure the disabled, as long as it is treated in time, it can usually be rescued smoothly.

And this bottle of recovery medicine, which is said to be stronger than a panacea, could even save the life of a person who had just died.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Huh? Xiao Lin, you don't look happy. Are you dissatisfied with this bottle of potion?"

"No, how come, I am very satisfied."

In fact, I'm really not satisfied. After all, even if he dies, he can use resurrection magic to resurrect him, so this bottle of exaggerated potion with strong effects has great limitations in its use.

Xiao Lin put the potion in his arms, and said, "I was just wondering if the super recovery that God Hermes mentioned is the kind."

"Which?"

"That kind."

Xiao Lin's bent index finger was stretched straight, and he even repeated it several times in order for him to understand.

It's obvious which one you're talking about.

"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha!!!"

"Mr. Kobayashi..."

Hermes couldn't help laughing, and even Asfi's eyes were slightly reproachful.

It's no wonder that Xiaolin deliberately distorted it, it was because Hermes was too inconspicuous to lead him astray.

And just now he said that he was going to Huajie, combined with the fact that this male god often carries some unexplainable potions on his body, it is understandable to cause unnecessary misunderstandings... I guess.

Hermes laughed loudly, even though he laughed loudly, Yasfei couldn't reprimand him, because Kobayashi's speech was really inappropriate.

"Not good, I really like you more and more."

The prodigal god-sama seemed to have said something that was deeply misunderstood.

But he is not the pervert like Apollo who takes all men and women, and he probably appreciates it when he says this.

"Although we got along very happily, they still said that they felt awkward, as if they were covering up something. It's not superficial, but more subtle... That's right, they didn't see through each other's essence."

Hermes suddenly spoke very abstract words.

But I don't know if it's really a good match, Xiao Lin actually understood what he meant.

"I think it's probably this."

Kobayashi stretched out his right hand to point at Hermes, and then activated the skill.

— Steal!
The light suddenly appeared!

After the light dissipated, a feather lay quietly in his palm.

It was the feather on the brim of Hermes' hat.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!" Hermes exclaimed excitedly, finally knowing what was wrong.

Like him, Kobayashi hides his essence.

Hermes is the messenger of the gods, in charge of travel, commerce, and animal husbandry.

But don't forget, he's still a thief!
The hand that Xiao Lin showed won the favor of Lord Shenming.

"Not only a traveler, but also a skill that is highly compatible with me. Sure enough, I like you more and more!"

Hermes immediately invited: "I said, Xiaolin, do you want to come to my family?"

"Excuse my refusal."

"...Huh? Why?"

"I'm sorry, Hermes God. After spending a short time with you, I saw the shadow of a foolish goddess, which has already caused me physical discomfort."

Kobayashi's words were already poisonous.

The seriously injured Hermes was speechless on the spot.

After a while, he stared blankly at his team leader, who was holding back his laughter, and asked, "Am I being rejected?"

"Well, that's right."

Ya Sifei didn't show any empathy at all, she nodded and admitted that she stabbed him abruptly again.

Hermes, who was drinking heavily, slapped and rolled on the spot.

"Why do you say that? Yasifei, why? Am I really that unbearable? Yasifei?"

"God Hermes is so unbearable!"

Yasifei grabbed Shangshen who was trying to go mad.

Seeing that it was late, she already had the idea of ​​leaving.If he continued to stay, he still didn't know what absurd things his master god would do to shock the world.

"Then, let's go ahead."

"Bye-Bye."

Kobayashi waved his hand.

Ya Sifei dragged Hermes by the collar, and taught as she walked, "Get up, idiot! I must give you a good lecture when I get back!"

"No, don't! Let me go, Asfi!"

Hermes' screams resounded through the sky.

Kobayashi observed a silent tribute and expressed sympathy for him.

"Guest, are you paying the bill?"

"Yes."

After receiving the bill handed over by the waiter, Xiao Lin's expression froze immediately.

The above numbers are very abnormal.

"...Don't you think this number is a bit high? Why does a glass of wine sell for 1000 Farleys?"

"Guest, you are joking, this is the normal price of our shop."

Seeing the waiter's eager smile, Xiao Lin's sympathy for Hermes dissipated instantly.

Be sure to preach sternly, Miss Asfi!
----

night falls
After leaving the tavern, Xiaolin walked on the street, and the night lit up by the magic stone was indeed gorgeous.

It's still early to go back to rest.

"In that case, why not go to Flower Street?"

Just now, Hermes obviously wanted to take Xiaolin to Huajie together, but the appearance of Yasifei interrupted the schedule, leaving him alone without knowing what to do.

Just then, he saw a familiar figure.

With short white hair and standard adventurer equipment, with hunched and thin shoulders, he walked slowly on the street.

His body was dusty, but it didn't look like it was caused by adventures in the dungeon. The slight swelling on his face was more like being beaten.

"Bell?"

"Mr. Kobayashi?"

The two who met each other greeted each other.

"Bell, your face?"

"Ah, this is..."

Then Bell began to explain.

After he came out of the Adventurer's Guild, he chatted with the sword girl Ais, and said that he had never experienced systematic training.After hearing this, Swordswoman Aisi said that she could train Bell to a certain extent.

It's such a beautiful thing to be with the person you look forward to.

Then Bell suffered the heaviest blow since he became an adventurer.

Not only the body, but even the heart is tattered.

Just like how Kobayashi faced LV7's Ota at the beginning, the mountain-like powerhouse stood in front of him and had no power to fight back.

It is natural for self-confidence to be hit.

"Mr. Kobayashi, what will you do when you encounter a strong enemy that you can't defeat anyway?"

Bell, who wanted to get closer to the person he longed for, asked Kobayashi for advice on how to break the barrier.

Because he found that going on like this would only continue to widen the distance between the two of them.

Be strong!
Be stronger no matter what!

"So, please tell me the method, Mr. Kobayashi!"

"...It's really an endless request."

Kobayashi scratched his head.

Although I don't know why Bell said that suddenly, but it can be seen from his firm and longing eyes that Bell really wants to change the status quo and become stronger than before.

"Then believe it."

"Believe?"

"Believe in yourself. Didn't Bell ask, what will you do when you encounter a strong enemy that you can't defeat no matter what? At that time, you choose to believe in yourself. Believe that you can defeat him, believe that you can become stronger, even if you can't do it now. After defeating the opponent, after continuous growth, you will definitely be stronger than the opponent!"

"Aha……"

"Specifically, it means having confidence in yourself, and it is still a strong confidence. Even if you are said to be ignorant, or arrogant, but as long as you believe that you can do it, you will definitely be able to do it."

It is not realism, but idealism, which is also the way Kobayashi has always grown up.

Because this method is too abstract, Bell is also at a loss.

Apparently he didn't understand Xiao Lin's meaning either.

It seems that for Bell, this kind of idealism is too early.Obviously, this is what he has been relying on all along, even if it is unconscious, he should be aware of it.

Could it be that if you don't know, you can exert greater power?

Kobayashi was lost in thought.

If this is the case, can he find another way to make himself stronger?

"...Sir? Mr. Kobayashi!"

"What, what's wrong?"

"This should be what I want to ask, what's the matter, suddenly you don't speak, what happened?"

"No, I just thought of a certain possibility."

Kobayashi waved his hand.

Bell hasn't figured out the matter of idealism yet. If he tells him that using idealism is likely to confuse him, it's better not to tell him.

"Back to the topic just now. The most important thing is self-confidence. You have to believe that you can do it. After all, if you don't even believe in yourself, who will believe it?"

"……I see."

Bell nodded knowingly.

He is still very ignorant now, but as long as he keeps growing, he will understand one day.And that time was when he became famous.

"However, if you can change the fear in your heart, Bell, and overcome that obstacle, you will become stronger than you are now."

"……Eh?"

Bell looked at Kobayashi in surprise, obviously he didn't expect Kobayashi to see through his heart easily.

It is natural to know.

After all, it was Kobayashi who was responsible for Bell's fear of the Minotaur, and it was precisely because of this that he felt guilty towards Bell.

"sorry."

"No, no need to apologize!"

Bell waved his hand quickly.

Kobayashi said to him: "Although I can't help you overcome obstacles, there is a sentence that I hope Bell can keep in mind."

"what?"

In Bell's puzzled eyes, Kobayashi said word by word:

"Forget that fear and look ahead.

Go ahead, don't stop.

Retreat only grows old, timidity invites death. "
