I like crossing the most

Chapter 813 Treasure 11
"…What did you say!?"
This is really a surprising answer.

Everyone looked at each other, immersed in their own surprise.

Turning into a baby for no apparent reason is a huge deal.

In Kobayashi's impression, the only one who turned into a baby was Aqua. If I remember correctly, that girl was turned into an infant by a magic tool because she did something bad on April Fool's Day.

I didn't expect to see such a thing happen this time. It really makes people sigh at the variability of things.

Just as Xiaolin wanted to ask more about the adventurers' infantilization, Miss Sena, the prosecutor of the kingdom, came over and said, "Thank you very much for the explanation. Now, let me tell you more information."

"Ah, Sena, come and explain?"

"Hmm? Ah! Mr. Kobayashi is here too!"

After seeing Kobayashi, the serious prosecutor of the kingdom suddenly smiled happily, causing many people to look at him and Sena. They didn't know what happened between the two of them, and their inquiring eyes were a little dazzling.

Xiao Lin also pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Ah! Hello. It's been a while since the incident with the stone slab that can be used to make clothes."

"Yes! I believe that if it were you, you would definitely come for this crisis!"

The Kingdom's prosecutor, Sena, said this with great joy.

It seems that she is sure that Xiaolin will come to help in such a crisis. It makes people feel that her trust in herself makes people feel more stressed. Especially other people, seeing that Xiaolin has such a good relationship with Prosecutor Wang Guo, also look at him inexplicably.

"Hey, it's really disturbing to see you looking at me with such expectation..."

Xiaolin couldn't help scratching his head. He hadn't seen the Kingdom Prosecutor Sena much since the slate conviction. Xiaolin only knew that she had gone to the capital to escort the black-robed man and the nobles of this town. He didn't expect that she would come back so soon.

It's not that his relationship with Sena is bad. On the contrary, Kobayashi has a very good relationship with her. But I don't know if it's because he defeated many Demon King Army cadres and solved many problems and disputes that he mistakenly regarded him as a righteous partner. Kobayashi actually hopes that this job can be given to someone else. Just solve this misunderstanding as soon as possible...

"Compared to this." Xiao Lin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by others. He raised his hand and said loudly, "I would like to hear the follow-up of this matter, okay? Not only me, but other adventurers too, I think."

The other adventurers didn't say anything, but still looked at Sena expectantly. The originally serious prosecutor of the kingdom gradually softened his tone, nodded a little embarrassedly, and continued: "...Explain the special features of that maze."

Then, Sena said in a slightly serious tone: "In fact, after entering the maze, it seems that the phenomenon of mental aging will occur. Because the maze appeared not far from the kingdom, knights were sent to investigate, but..."

She sighed helplessly. Although she didn't explain, Xiaolin still clearly understood what she wanted to say. He subconsciously followed the information Luna had just said and explained, "The same symptoms as the adventurers have appeared. Is that right?"

"That's it."

She seemed to know that this matter could not be hidden, but it was also a huge insult to the Kingdom Knights. Given her status, she shouldn't talk about it behind their backs, but now she could do nothing about it. So she nodded very straightforwardly and said without thinking: "There are even worse ones."

"Of a more nasty nature?"

"Yes. Those people whose mental age has degenerated have done some incredible things."

"Something extraordinary?"

"He acts like a spoiled child on the street, eats without paying, cries when being robbed, and yells "Mom" to female passers-by. Other things include... that, running back and forth on the street, or waving his underwear and yelling... that kind of thing."

Even the serious and stern prosecutor of the Cold Kingdom blushed slightly when he said these words, looking very embarrassed.

I don't know if she was shy because she witnessed all this, or if she felt embarrassed and ashamed because the Knights had done something that undermined their dignity, but no matter which one it was, it showed that she was in a very bad mood. If the Knights were not under the command of the kingdom, she might have lost her temper.

"Wow……"

Aqua also took a step back with a little resistance. She covered her mouth with a lingering fear and said, "It's really scary just thinking about it..."

“It’s a hellish scene.” Huihui also agreed.

Youyou said with some resistance: "Let's not talk about the children first, but adults are completely perverted. If we leave them alone, they will definitely do something even more stupid. Maybe they will go to the audience hall of the kingdom and make trouble... or something like that?"

"That's it!"

The Kingdom's prosecutor, Sena, seemed to agree with this statement. She said seriously and solemnly, "The Kingdom's countermeasures for this maze are now an urgent task. I came here this time to negotiate the treatment of those adventurers whose mental age has degenerated. At the same time, I also serve as a special envoy to recruit maze investigators..."

As she spoke, she looked at Xiaolin and the others, as if begging them to accept this mission. Such expectant eyes made Xiaolin feel uncomfortable. He didn't really want to do such a mission, and if possible, he really didn't want to do it.

At this time, Miss Luna, the guild counter clerk, said, "In other words, this time it's a generous mission that will be rewarded by both the Kingdom and the Guild."

She said this temptingly. There was nothing wrong with it. After all, even the guild would not force adventurers to do quests, nor would they deliberately issue difficult quests. Of course, these also required money, otherwise the adventurers would not take action.

However, unexpectedly, this was a joint mission between the kingdom and adventurers, and the reward was so generous. Even Kobayashi did not expect it to be such an uncommon joint mission.

"As you have heard." Miss Luna, the prosecutor of the kingdom... no, Miss Luna, the person in charge of the newly appeared maze, said, "Although it is dangerous, the situation is urgent. If you are confident in your skills, please participate."

So, don't keep staring at this place. Kobayashi complained while shrinking his body. After all, he had been tortured enough times in the dungeon during this period. If possible, Kobayashi planned to spend some time leisurely. If possible, it would be best if he didn't do any laborious tasks before Sato Kazuma came back.

"Well, adventurers who are interested in this mission, please sign up and step forward!"

Sena said this loudly. She seemed very confident, as if as long as she raised her arms and shouted, these adventurers would definitely agree to her commission and go explore the unknown maze dungeon. However, in fact, no one did. After waiting for a long time, the adventurers looked at each other, but no one raised their hands, which means that no one was willing to take the risk without sufficient information.

Kingdom prosecutor Sena looked around. She didn't expect that there would be no one. It was okay if there were few people. She could regard it as the low strength of the adventurers in this town of Axel, but wasn't it a bit too much to have no one? She looked at the silent adventurers dumbfounded, and finally looked at Xiaolin and the others and couldn't help muttering to herself: "Why... is there no one?"

Even if you look at me, I can't tell you the reason. After all, once you open your mouth, you will be infamous, and it's really hard to say anything. Although Xiaolin was somewhat resistant, there were still some people who were ignorant. Or, in other words, they couldn't bear to watch Prosecutor Wang Guo perform a one-man show on the stage, and finally be embarrassed and unable to leave the stage.

Dust kindly scratched his cheek. He looked at his companions and adventurers who were also shaking their heads and looking helpless, and said, "Well, even if you say so...right?"

"Even if the reward is a lot, ridiculously much, I won't want to accept it after hearing that." With the beginning, another adventurer followed suit and said: "Besides, the knights of the kingdom have been beaten back, and it will be useless for us to go again...right, everyone?"

"Yeah yeah."

"We are just novice adventurers."

"It's such a dangerous dungeon. I'm sorry I can't help you."

The adventurers all spoke up to avoid letting the guild become dull.

Just as these people said, this is just a novice town Axel, there are basically no high-level adventurers, and the strong guys are always playing badly, so basically they won't contribute. And the Kingdom Prosecutor Sena also quickly understood this truth, so her stunned expression gradually faded. She knew that she couldn't get angry, no, it's better to say that she didn't have the right to get angry.

Because as they said, the adventurers here are too weak, and going there will only increase the number of victims of mental age degeneration, and forcing them to go will only push them into the fire pit. Although the Kingdom Prosecutor Sena is a bit cold and unkind, she will not do such a bad thing, especially for a Kingdom Prosecutor.

"Is that so... This is such a pity."

She sighed slightly, as if she was really helpless. She looked at Luna, the clerk at the union counter, and said, "The reward prepared by the kingdom alone is more than 20 million Eris..."

"Twenty million Eris!?" Aqua's eyes lit up, and she repeated it unconsciously in excitement, looking silly and eager to try. In an instant, Kobayashi held down the shoulders of this stupid goddess, signaling her not to accept this task impulsively without thinking.

"Hey, don't let the money knock you out for a second."

"But... 20 million eris... With that much money, I don't have to work so hard to pay back my debts..."

It seems that Aqua has accumulated a large debt again without her knowing.

I really don't understand whether she is a goddess or not.

The team's strange behavior also attracted the attention of the Kingdom's prosecutor, Sena, who asked, "How about it, Mr. Kobayashi? Please lend us your strength to defeat the Demon King's army!"

After such a long friendship and going through so many events, Sena naturally knew that Xiaolin and the others were far more powerful than ordinary adventurers, so she asked for help. However——

"Sorry, I refuse."

"Hey! Is it impossible no matter what?"

"Of course! In the past, I would have definitely taken the plunge, but unfortunately, this time I have other high-income guarantees."

Xiao Lin waved his hand. He was talking about the magic stone. Vanir was going to buy it back at the price of 20 million Eris per piece. Now they already had at least 20 million Eris, so there was no need to take the risk to explore the dangerous dungeon. Besides, the previous maze tower had already exhausted them, and he just wanted to rest for a while.

Hui Hui also nodded and said, “Yes, you don’t have to force yourself to go this time. After all, it’s such a dangerous place, it would be bad if something unexpected happened. So it’s better to be honest for the time being.”

"Haha, it feels really good to have the energy to spare." Aqua said happily, "Ah, this is a goddess. She always looks so relaxed, which makes people feel awe."

If you were a goddess, you shouldn’t have owed others money from the beginning, you fake goddess!
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes in annoyance, but what the stupid goddess said was right. It was precisely because of other income that they didn't have to take risks, so Xiao Lin also decisively refused: "That's it, let's forget it, let's find someone else who is in need of money this time..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw a person in the corner looking at him meaningfully, which made Xiaolin subconsciously interrupt him and ask at the same time.

"What do you want, Barnil?"

"In the maze just now, it seemed to me that there were magic stones."

"Magic stone?"

Kobayashi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This was surprising news.

Darkness also said, “Is it the last magic stone? In other words, as long as we get that, we will have collected all the magic stones, right?”

"That's right!" Vanir said with a smile, "How about it, everyone? Are you still not interested now?"

It seemed that he had Kobayashi and the others in his grasp.

Huihui said hesitantly, “Twenty million Eris is indeed a lot, but the place we are going to is too far. And from what Senna and Luna explained, we don’t know what dangers are waiting for us…”

Obviously, she was a conservative person who didn't plan to take any risks. Xiao Lin also felt that it was a bit risky, so he said hesitantly: "That's right, I have earned enough magic stones now, and there is no need to continue taking risks..."

Just when they were about to stop, Vanir suddenly made a strange gesture and said an extremely surprising news.
