"Wait, wait, wait! It's weird, no matter how you think about it, it's weird! Why is there compensation?!"

Several members of the team gathered together.

Kazuma Sato held a check with trembling hands, and his voice trembled like his hands when he saw the high number on it.

He really couldn't understand why he had to lose money instead of getting a reward for defeating a powerful monster.

"And it's still 150 million Eris?!"

Aqua was also dumbfounded and looked at the bill blankly.

"It's really an exaggerated amount. It's dozens of times higher than the compensation required for the ruins I destroyed in the past." Megumin raised her right hand and made a gesture of "I want to work hard too". She didn't know that she Who are you comparing to?

Darkness nodded and said, "Indeed, what we did was a bit too much."

Everyone recalled the scene when they killed General Dong.

Hundreds of explosions with power comparable to explosion magic were released together, blasting a large crater hundreds of meters wide and bottomless on the plain. Even if the claim amount was as high as hundreds of millions, it would be understandable.

...understand a hammer!

After working hard to kill a powerful monster, when you are about to receive the reward, you are told that you have to lose money. Who can understand the pain?

Is this reasonable? !

Isn’t this bullying an honest person? !

Sato Kazuma rushed to the counter, pointed to the amount on it and asked the receptionist: "Miss Luna, why is it like this? Don't you think this number is strange? In fact, what is written in front of the amount is not the amount owed, but the amount written in front of it. The bounty is 150 million Eris, right?”

"this……"

Luna looked embarrassed and did not explain, but her expression told them that it was true.

Aqua excitedly grabbed Luna's collar with both hands and lifted her exaggeratedly broad chest. When she rocked back and forth, the ripples of the water and the white halo reflected in everyone's eyes.

He tilted his head slightly.

No, I almost got immersed in it.

"What do you mean? Why is there such a high compensation? Are you looking for trouble? Hey~~!" The underworld goddess glared at Luna with an unhappy expression, especially the last flick of her tongue, which made the little gangsters wandering around the street angry. Essence.

Sometimes people have to wonder if she is really a goddess.

"Miss Aqua, even if you say this, it has nothing to do with me. This is the kingdom's decision... to be precise, it is the lord's decision." Luna looked helplessly at the unreasonable Aku. Ya.

Indeed, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Luna. As a receptionist, she can only convey the results of the trial.

But I seem to have heard an interesting name.

Lord? Aldap?

Aqua asked relentlessly: "So, even the lord can't ask for so much compensation. There has to be a reason, right?"

"actually……"

Luna gave an explanation for this.

——Destroying the ecological environment and hindering Axel's development plan.

The plain where Xiaolin and others were doing the mission was not just the snow spirit activity there. There were also many hibernating monsters under the snow-covered plain. The high temperature generated by hundreds of magic spells melted the snow on the plain, causing many monsters to wake up early.

And because of the winter, most of the adventurers were cultivating, causing monsters to cause chaos everywhere. Many villagers' pastures were attacked, and most of the cattle and sheep they raised were devoured.

"So we have to compensate the villagers for their losses, right?"

"Yes, that's it."

This compensation is reasonable.

Because he had a hot head and arrogantly wanted to kill General Dong, he was negligent and caused damage to the villagers' property, and he should be compensated.

"But it doesn't take that much!"

Aqua restrained herself slightly after hearing this, but she still danced angrily and gestured: "150 million, 150 million! Do you know how much high-end bubble wine you can buy? Do you know!"

This guy doesn't care about the life or death of other people. He just wants to enjoy himself and doesn't want to pay high compensation.

She doesn't look like a goddess at all.

Xiao Lin sighed and was about to teach her a lesson when he heard another receptionist who was wearing the same uniform but with short hair and small freckles on her face talking to her.

"Actually, you really don't need that much."

"Deborah!"

Luna's expression changed slightly, trying to stop her colleague from continuing.

"What does it matter? It was the evil and disgusting lord who asked the kingdom to increase the compensation." Deborah looked like she despised Lord Aldap.

It has to be said that Aldap failed extremely as the lord of Axel. Not only were the guards and adventurers secretly belittling him, but even the waiting ladies were resentful of him.

Xiaolin turned his attention.

"Miss Luna, it's inappropriate for us to have to pay for the money we didn't get after we worked so hard to defeat powerful monsters."

"Inappropriate."

"It's inappropriate for you to say good things for the lord that everyone hates."

"…inappropriate."

"Then tell me what's going on."

Under Xiao Lin's guidance, Luna quickly told the truth without much struggle.

Originally, they only needed to compensate for the damage to the ecological environment, which could be filled with the bounty from the kingdom for defeating General Winter. However, Aldap complained to the superiors that the trade road he planned to lay had been blown up, and he insisted on using " "Hindering Axel's development" was used as an excuse to increase the amount of compensation by 150 million.

If it was really to blow up the trade route to hinder development, it would be fine, but in fact they all knew that this was just an excuse for the greedy lord.

"I see, that's it."

Xiaolin nodded expressionlessly after hearing the latter.

As expected of an unpopular lord, what he did was quite disgusting.

"Alderp, right? Let's go and reason with that guy now, and make him look bad!" Aqua was furious, rolled up her sleeves and rushed to the lord's mansion to fight.

Xiaolin grabbed her and said, "It's useless. The other party is right now. Even if we go to find him, it's just unreasonable, and it will give the other party an excuse to control us."

Darkness also echoed: "Alderp's reputation is indeed not good. It's useless to go to him rashly, but this matter can be reported to higher-level nobles. If we can find evidence, he should pay the price."

She was talking about her own family.

The Dustinis family, known as the [Kingdom's Blade], is a great noble in the kingdom. The territory is the surrounding novice villages including Axel.

Especially since Dustinis's family is still in Axel, how can he not pay the price for offending the daughter of a noble family?

I will remember this grudge!

"Damn it!"

Aqua shed tears of unwillingness.

She really cried, and she cried loudly while holding Xiaolin because of the loss of a lot of money. She didn't look like a goddess at all.

And Dust, who was watching the show all the time, jumped out to add insult to injury when he saw that Xiaolin had to pay a huge debt.

"Hey, Xiaolin, I heard that you have to pay hundreds of millions of compensation?"

"... Didn't you watch the whole process?"

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that you would have this day! How about it, you have no money! Become a poor ghost like us!"

This guy——!

But he doesn't seem to know that he is very rich, so you can use this to play a trick on him.

Xiaolin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and then immediately retracted it, pretending to be in pain and said: "Ah, indeed, I have no money."

"Hehehe, then come with me..."

"Now there is only 80 million Eris left."

"Huh——?!"

Daxt widened his eyes, like a giant toad.

He always felt that Xiaolin was in Versailles.

What's more, Xiaolin deliberately sighed loudly: "What should I do? From now on, rare ingredients can only be reduced to one meal a day, and the bubble wine with limited marks will be reduced from three bottles a day to one bottle. Ah, what should I do!"

"You, you...!"

Daxt couldn't say anything.

Axel is a scumbag who is hated by everyone, and he should be given a chance to slap his face at this time.

Daxt, you did a good job.

I give you a five-star praise.

And Xiaolin's pretentious appearance made the other people in the guild hate him, and they all thought silently in their hearts.

-I really want to beat him!
