I like traveling the most

"You idiot!"

A rebuke came from the lively tavern, but the surroundings were even more lively, so no one saw what happened in the corner.

It was a pity that there were no spectators when the gods were rebuked by the people of the lower world.

Xiaolin expressed regret.

"What are you doing? Why do you have to ask the guests to pay for the meal? Has Lord Hermes lost his sense of shame? It's really too embarrassing!"

Yasfei angrily taught Hermes a lesson, and bowed to Xiaolin to apologize: "I'm sorry, my god is really too willful."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's me who asked for the meal, and it has nothing to do with Lord Hermes."

Xiaolin waved his hand and showed an indifferent attitude.

Although there was no expression on his face, he actually gave Yasfei a thumbs up in his heart.

You came just in time, Miss Yasfei!

That's right, that's how it should be!

This shameless and dissolute male god must be severely rebuked, otherwise he will definitely get worse in the future!

Seeing Hermes sticking out his tongue and making faces with his back to Yasfei, with no intention of repentance at all, Kobayashi's mood suddenly became bad.

Not good! Aqua's shadow was too obvious, and he was already feeling physically uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kobayashi."

Yasfei bowed again and said awkwardly: "It's all because my God is so shameless. I'll pay for the wine this time."

"No, no, no, I'll pay."

Kobayashi refused decisively.

After all, he had already agreed to treat her, so he couldn't change his mind at this time.

"Next time, Miss Yasfei will treat you."

"I know, I will definitely treat you well."

Yasfei apologized sincerely again.

Although it was very sincere and her attitude was very good, how can I put it... There was an inexplicable feeling of formula, as if this set of procedures had been done countless times and had become a subconscious action.

Why are you so skilled!

But when I think about how Hermes often threw troublesome things to Yasfei, I can understand why she is so skilled.

"I'm sorry. I'll scold this bastard when I get back."

"Please raise your hand."

After saying that, she glared at her Lord God fiercely, which made Hermes' face twisted.

If it weren't for Yasfei holding his arm tightly, the Lord God would have disappeared in a flash.

Outside the tavern.

Xiaolin saw off the two Lord Gods.

Although Hermes was a little unreliable, he was a good Lord God who was willing to worry about and clean up the ass for his family members...although Yasfei cleaned up his ass more often.

"Oh, right!"

Just when Hermes was about to leave.

He suddenly seemed to remember something, slapped his head, took out a small potion bottle from his arms, and threw it away without cherishing it.

Fortunately, Xiaolin's fingers were nimble, and he used the silk thread to bring it into his hand.

"What is this?"

"Recovery medicine."

"Why give it to me?"

"Thank you."

Hermes didn't seem to care about it. How could something that might be given by the gods as a thank-you gift be ordinary?

Turning his head to look at Yasfei, trying to know something, the mature beauty pushed her glasses, closed her eyes and mouth, and showed an attitude of not interfering.

The main reason why she wiped Hermes's ass countless times was that when Hermes decided on something, she would never interfere.

That's why you are so hard, Miss Yasfei!

Xiaolin took it into his arms and thanked him: "I know, I will use it well."

"...Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"Under normal circumstances, when you receive the potion, shouldn't you ask what it does?"

Hermes' indifferent attitude towards Xiaolin is very novel.

He doesn't play by the rules at all.

And Xiaolin also understands that Hermes wants to brag to prove that the potion he took out is not a cheap counterfeit.

Well, if he wants to.

Xiao Lin took on the role of a supporting actor and asked, "So, Lord Hermes, what magical effects does this potion have?"

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

Hermes puffed out his chest and boasted loudly.

Yasifei also nodded slightly, indicating that what her Lord God said was right.

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

The potions in the labyrinth city are divided into low-level, medium-level, high-level, and panacea.

Although the panacea cannot revive the dead and heal the disabled, it can generally be successfully rescued as long as it is treated in time.

And this bottle of recovery potion, which is said to be stronger than the panacea, can't it even revive the dead?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"Hmm? Xiaolin, you don't look happy. Are you not satisfied with this potion?"

"No, how could that be? I am satisfied."

In fact, he was not very satisfied. After all, even if he died, he could use resurrection magic to revive him. Therefore, this potion with an exaggerated effect had great limitations in its use.

Xiaolin put the potion in his arms and said, "I was just wondering if the super recovery that Lord Hermes mentioned was that kind."

"Which kind?"

"That kind of thing."

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

It's obvious which one I'm talking about.

"Pfft hahahahaha!!!"

"Mr. Xiaolin..."

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

I really don’t blame Xiao Lin for deliberately distorting it. It’s really because Hermes was so out of tune that he led him astray.

And just now he said he was going to Flower Street. Considering that this male god often carries some unexplained medicines with him, it is understandable that unnecessary misunderstandings will occur... maybe.

Hermes laughed openly. Even if he laughed very loudly, Asfi could not reprimand him. Xiaolin's speech was really inappropriate.

"It's not good, I really like you more and more."

The promiscuous god seemed to have said something that was quite misleading.

But he is not the pervert of Apollo who takes advantage of both men and women. He probably says this out of admiration.

"Although we get along very happily, we still feel that there is something awkward about it, as if we are covering something up. It's not something superficial, but more subtle... Yes, we haven't seen through each other's true nature."

Hermes suddenly spoke something very abstract.

But I don’t know if the compatibility is really good, but Xiao Lin actually understood what he meant.

"I think it's probably this."

Xiaolin stretched out his right hand and pointed it at Hermes, then activated the skill.

——Steal!

A sudden light appears!

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

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

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

Like him, Kobayashi also hides his true nature.

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

But don't forget, he is still a thief!

Xiaolin's exposed hand won the Lord God's heart.

"You are not only a traveler, but you also have skills that are highly compatible with mine. Sure enough, I am becoming more and more attracted to you!"

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

"Please forgive me for refusing."

"...Huh? Why?"

"I'm sorry, God Hermes. It's true that after spending a short time with you, I saw the shadow of some stupid goddess, which has caused me physical discomfort."

Xiao Lin's words can already be described as venomous.

The seriously injured Hermes was speechless on the spot.

After a long while, he looked blankly at his captain who was holding back his laughter and said, "Am I being disliked?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Yasifei showed no sympathy at all and nodded to admit that she stabbed him again.

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Hermes rolled around on the spot.

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

"God Hermes is so unbearable!"

Asifei grabbed the god who was trying to go crazy.

Seeing that it was getting late, she already had the idea of ​​leaving. If he continues to stay, he doesn’t know what ridiculous things his Lord God will do that would shock the world.

"Then let's take the first step."

"Bye-Bye."

Xiao Lin waved his hand.

Yasi Fei dragged Hermes by the collar and taught her a lesson as she walked: "Get up, you idiot! I must teach you a lesson when I get back!"

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

Hermes' screams echoed throughout the sky.

After seeing this, Xiao Lin held a moment of silence and expressed his sympathy.

"Guest, are you the one paying the bill?"

"yes."

After taking the bill handed over by the waiter, Xiao Lin's expression suddenly froze.

The numbers above are very unusual.

"...Don't you think this number is a bit high? Why does a glass of wine cost 1,000 faris?"

"Guest, you are joking, this is the normal price in our store."

Seeing the waiter's eager smile, Xiaolin's sympathy for Hermes disappeared instantly.

You must preach harshly, Miss Asfi!

Night falls

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

It's still early to go back and rest.

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

Just now, Hermes obviously wanted to take Xiao Lin to go shopping in Flower Street, but the appearance of Yasi Fei suddenly disrupted the schedule, leaving him alone and not knowing what to do.

Just then, he saw a familiar figure.

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

There were dust all over his body, but it didn't look like he was adventuring in a dungeon. His face was slightly swollen, more like he had been beaten.

"Bell?"

"Mr. Xiaolin?"

The two people who met each other greeted each other.

"Bell, your face?"

"Ah, this is..."

Bell then began to explain.

After coming out of the Adventurer's Guild, he chatted with Sword Princess Ais and revealed that he had not experienced any systematic training. After hearing this, Sword Girl Ais said that she could train Bell to a certain extent.

Being with the person you admire can be a beautiful thing.

Then Bell suffered the heaviest blow since becoming an adventurer.

Not only the body, but also the heart is in tatters.

Just like Xiaolin at the beginning when he faced LV7 Ota, the strong man like a mountain stood in front of him and was unable to fight back.

It is natural for self-confidence to be affected.

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

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

Because he found that if he continued like this, it would only continue to widen the distance between the two.

Become stronger!

No matter what, become stronger!

"So, please tell me how, Mr. Kobayashi!"

"...It's really a request that has no beginning or end."

Xiaolin scratched his head.

Although I don’t know why Bell suddenly said this, it can be seen from his firm and eager 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 he would do when he encountered a strong enemy that he couldn't defeat no matter what? At that time, he chose to believe in himself. Believe that he can defeat him, believe that he can become stronger, even if he can't do it now After defeating the opponent, you will definitely become stronger than the opponent after continuous growth!”

"Haah..."

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

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

Because this method is too abstract, Bell also looked confused.

Obviously he didn't understand what Xiao Lin meant either.

It seems that this idealism is too early for Bell. It's obvious that this is what he has always relied on, even if it is unconsciously, he should be aware of it.

Could it be said that only by not knowing can we exert greater power?

Xiao Lin fell into thinking.

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

"...Mr.? Mr. Xiaolin!"

"What, what's wrong?"

"This should be what I want to ask. What's wrong? You suddenly stopped talking. Did something happen?"

"No, I just thought of some possibility."

Xiao Lin waved his hand.

Bell hasn't figured out the matter of idealism yet. If he talks about using idealism again, he will probably get confused, so it's better not to tell him.

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

"……I see."

Bell nodded knowingly.

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

"But 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 Xiao Lin in surprise, obviously he didn't expect Xiao Lin to see through his heart easily.

It is only natural that he would know.

After all, the culprit behind Bell's fear of the Minotaur was Xiaolin, and it was precisely because of this that he felt guilty towards Bell.

"sorry."

"No, no need to apologize!"

Bell waved his hand quickly.

Xiao Lin said to him: "Although I can't help you overcome obstacles, there is something I hope you can remember, Bell."

"What?"

In Bell's confused eyes, Xiaolin said word by word:

“Forget the fear and look ahead.

Go ahead and never stop.

Retreating will only lead to aging, and timidity will lead to death. "
