I like crossing the most

Chapter 819 Treasure 17
"By the way, we were also very active this time!"

A few days after returning from the labyrinth, Krillin and the others went to Wiz's magic tool shop, and Aqua started showing off and publicizing her achievements as soon as she came in. Her careless look made people feel annoyed. When will this guy stop being so complacent?

When Xiaolin couldn't help but want to complain, Darkness also said: "Senna's commission has been completed, I am looking forward to the bonus!"

That's right, the Kingdom Prosecutor Miss Sena clearly said that if they can crack the movable maze, the kingdom will issue a very generous bonus. Not only that, the Adventurer's Guild will also give a lot of bonuses. That's why they are looking for the reason why the maze appeared.

“This is more important than that.” Huihui’s eyes sparkled, and she said excitedly, “Mr. Vanir, is it really okay to raise the price appropriately?!”

Because Xiaolin and the others had collected all seven magic stones, Vanir said that he could raise the price appropriately as a reward for their hard work, and Huihui, Aqua and the others naturally said shamelessly that they would not be polite. Xiaolin didn't want to agree at first, but -

"Well, it's great that we have collected all the magic stones. Let's do some calculations." Vanir fiddled with the abacus in front of him and said, "The amount is... one, two, three, four, five, dot, dot, dot, this number."

"Xiao Lin Xiao Lin! There are so many zeros! I can't count them all!" Hui Hui shouted excitedly.

That’s right, Vanir gave too much.

Xiao Lin took a closer look and said, "Let me see, this is... tens of millions... ah, it's actually three hundred million!?" He was stunned. He didn't expect that this guy was willing to pay such a high price to get these magic stones. It was really surprising.

Vanir waved his hand and said, "Although it is impossible to get such a huge amount of money immediately, it is okay to give it to me in advance before the full amount is obtained, right?"

This is the norm.

Three hundred million Eris. No matter if it was a kingdom or a lord, even the Grand Duke of Hell, it was impossible for them to pay so much Eris at once. So it was normal to choose to pay in installments, and Xiaolin and the others could naturally accept it. However, the key point was——

"…You're not planning on stealing or robbing other people's savings, are you?"

"What stupid things are you talking about?"

After being looked at suspiciously by Xiaolin, Vanir sneered and said, "We are different from the money-worshiping goddesses over there. If we want money, we can get a lot of it easily. But you should also know that there is not that much deposit in the Demon King's City at present, so we can only pay in installments."

Did this guy say something inexplicable, saying that there is not so much deposit in the Demon King's Castle? Could this guy be planning to steal the money from the Demon King's Army and then give it to them? To be honest, Xiaolin really doesn't want it to do that. After all, it might cause the Demon King's Army to counterattack and anger, and then the unlucky people will only be Xiaolin and his team.

"If you're still worried..." Vanir seemed to see through Xiaolin's worries. He touched his chin and said, "Here, I'll give you a share of today's celebration right away."

"Oh oh oh!" Kobayashi had a bag of Eris in his hand. A rough calculation showed that there were at least one million of them. It was already a generous bounty. You know, even the Adventurer's Guild could only make so much money by defeating those powerful monsters, such as One Strike Bears, White Wolves or Griffins.

Xiao Lin looked at his companions with expectant eyes, smiled, and said, "Okay! Let's go to the guild's tavern and get drunk!"

"Great!"

"Agree!"

"Oh, that's nice."

The companions agreed immediately. It was obvious that after this reluctant battle, they also wanted to relax. So the whole team ran to the guild, ordered a lot of drinks and food, and celebrated.

"Cheers!" X6
"Wait a minute Huihui, you are not allowed to drink bubble wine."

"Ah! How cunning! I'm already an adult, why won't you let me drink? That's too much!"

“Okay, okay, Huihui, don’t be angry. Just drink the juice like me.”

After calming down the noisy Huihui and Yunyun, everyone began to review their adventure, expressing sympathy and helplessness towards the puppet master, and also felt headache about the powerful strength of the puppets he created. Of course, there was more expectation for the magic stone and its effect.

"If you collect all the magic stones, you can make your wish come true... So, how is the investigation going?"

Xiao Lin couldn't help but say this. After all, if you collect seven pieces, you can make your wish come true. Everyone will be looking forward to it and take it seriously. If it gets into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, it might cause even greater unrest.

“Come to think of it, Chris seemed to have said that?” Aqua drank a glass of bubbles, and after asking the guild waitress for another one, she said, “Of course, my wish to become rich has been fulfilled. I don’t think I have any other wishes.”

Is this guy serious? Rather than being rich, shouldn't she be more concerned about when to defeat the devil and return to heaven? Does this guy intend to eat and drink like a loser in the underworld for the rest of his life? This stupid goddess is really hopeless.

“Hey, Aqua! Can you at least pay attention to something else?!”

"For example?"

"For example -"

Just when Kobayashi was about to say something like "defeat the Demon King", he unexpectedly heard someone else's voice beside him.

"Ah, we met just in time!" It was Chris. After seeing everyone, she decisively ran over to talk to them, making Xiaolin and the others look at her expectantly with bright eyes. Chris lived up to everyone's expectations and said with a smile, "The long-awaited new information about the magic stone!"

“——Please be sure to tell us the details!” Huihui said excitedly, and the team members seemed to be listening to her. Kobayashi motioned for her to sit down quickly, and asked the guild waitress who passed by to bring her a glass of bubble wine.

After Chris sat down and took a big sip of the cold bubbly, he said contentedly under the expectant gaze of his companions: "According to the information I have investigated, this magic stone cannot activate its power just by gathering seven of them."

"What do you mean? If I can't activate my power, is there any other condition for using it?"

"That's right! The intelligence shows that if you want to activate it, you must take seven magic stones and go to a certain place."

Chris said this while shaking her head. She looked very proud. It seemed that this information was very secret, and she looked very satisfied after knowing this information. Xiaolin looked at her with a little surprise and asked subconsciously:

"Going somewhere? Where?"

"Island in the sky."

"That's really... quite far."

Hearing Chris say this, Darkness couldn't help but sigh softly, and the stupid goddess Aqua also pouted unhappily.

“Eh? This is really troublesome. It would be nice if it were all over with if I sold it to that devil. Anyway, I can get 300 million Eris even if I do this. It’s already worth it. There’s no need to take risks elsewhere. I might as well just take this money and live a carefree life—”

"I heard that there is a magical altar hidden somewhere on the island. If you offer the magic stone to the altar, any wish will come true."

"Okay, let's go!"

Aqua immediately changed her tune.

This guy is really hopeless. Xiao Lin wanted to slap her right now, but he didn't do it.

Huihui said unsurely, “Can I wish for anything?”

"Yeah!" Chris nodded seriously and said with a smile, "How is it? Pretty impressive, right?"

"It's more than amazing, the effect is too strong." Youyou couldn't help but admire it, but soon her expression turned slightly worried and she said, "There is no magic tool like this even in the Crimson Devil Village. If it is lost outside--"

Xiao Lin felt something was wrong and couldn't help asking, "Chris, I remember you said that this magic stone was brought here by the Japanese, right?"

"Ah! Yes!" Chris drank the bubble wine in one gulp, sighed comfortably and said, "Yes, that's what I heard."

Although it was just hearsay, it was most likely true. After all, Chris was a goddess, and she must have known such information to tell Kobayashi and others so confidently.

Xiao Lin asked uncertainly: "If that is a reincarnation tool, it won't work even if it's given to other people. But, is there such a setting for the reincarnation tool on the altar on the island in the sky?"

After all, the so-called divine tools, that is, the reincarnation bonuses given by Aqua and the others, are usually items or skills. Let's not talk about the powerful skills that will disappear after the user dies, but divine tools should not be used by anyone other than the user, and they are usually ordinary divine tools. Why would there be other tools, and why should they be placed on the altar?
"…But it's amazing, isn't it? Any wish can come true."

Kobayashi looked at Aqua, wanting to ask her what was going on, but this guy just said so with a stupid look on his face, not noticing Kobayashi's hint at all, which made people angry and speechless.

Huihui also asked, “Could it be magic or something like that?”

"Hmm..." Chris also groaned. After thinking for a while, she said, "No, it's hard to say. I also heard about it, so it's hard for me to comment..."

Her true identity is a goddess. Since Chris said so, it is obvious that she has not found any accurate information. I think this matter must be something that she is very concerned about. As expected, Chris looked at everyone and said:

"Besides, I haven't actually been there... I'm also curious about what kind of place that Sky Island is."

"Indeed... I am very interested in how people's wishes will be fulfilled."

Huihui also said this with anticipation. This guy is very interested in things like magic tools. I don’t know if it’s because the Crimson Demons themselves are proficient in magic tools, or because her father Piao Saburo is a master of magic tools... Of course, it’s a derogatory term.

“Yes.” Even Darkness was a little shaken and said, “If we continue to collect magic stones, it will take a long time, but now that all the magic stones have been collected…”

She looked like she really wanted to go and find out what was going on. Seeing her thinking this way, Huihui quickly said loudly, “I really want to go there!”

“Me too. If I can go, I’d like to take a look.” Darkness also said with a smile. She seemed to be very interested in such magical items with powerful effects. No, maybe she also had some wish that she wanted to fulfill.

But Xiaolin would not be so reckless. After all, a magic item that can fulfill any wish itself gives people a sense of unreliability, not to mention that they have to go to the altar of the Sky Island to use it. If they were like Huihui and the others, they would definitely rush over. But Xiaolin stopped the excitement of the crowd and continued to look at Chris, asking: "I say, Chris, besides the matter of fulfilling wishes, have you heard any other rumors?"

"Well... yes." After thinking carefully, Chris said, "No, it seems that there is nothing."

"Although I am a little skeptical..."

"Very interested! Well, I really want to go!"

While Youyou was a little worried, Huihui spoke so loudly that it made people wonder if she had some wish that she was eager to realize, which gave people a slight headache.

Darkness looked at her lovingly, then looked at another companion and asked, "Aqua, what do you think?"

"Hmm..." After thinking for a while, Aqua suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up and she said, "The magic stone is already ours. It doesn't matter if we go there. I am also very interested in things that can make wishes come true."

Just when Xiao Lin thought she had figured out the cause and effect and was going to use this method to defeat the devil and return to heaven, she didn't expect that she would actually -

"Besides, if any wish can really be fulfilled, it might be faster than selling it to make money! In this case, wouldn't it be an inexhaustible supply of money?"

I take back what I said before. This stupid goddess is as stupid as ever. She always thinks about money instead of trying to defeat the devil. It's really a headache.

Darkness looked at him again.

"Xiaolin, what do you think?"

"Me? Yeah... Well, I feel like there will be a lot to gain, and... the artifacts of reincarnated people other than me? There's a possibility that I can use it, too. To be honest, I'm also interested... Let's go. Yeah, I'm also interested."

Xiaolin nodded and said so.

Aqua cheered and said, "Then it's decided! Let's set off tomorrow morning!"

"You're still the same as always, getting so excited when talking about these topics..." Xiao Lin sighed slightly and said, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that."
