I like traveling the most

Chapter 647: Starting over

"Hahaha, it's okay."

Aqua and Kobayashi's laziness and disrespect did not cause the noble to be angry. Instead, he laughed heartily, looking unconcerned.

"However, you are really pleasant guys. I also know why Lord Dustinis would join you. If I had met such interesting companions when I was young, I would definitely join without hesitation."

"Ah... No, that... I'm really sorry..."

Darkness looked very embarrassed.

This group of companions is more than just interesting?

It's simply too interesting!

At this time, Huihui raised her hand and said, "Excuse me, can I ask a question?"

"Well, what is it, Miss Mage?" Lundberg motioned for her to speak.

"The condition for pardon is to repair ancient relics. What exactly do you want us to do?" Huihui asked curiously, "Even if Xiaolin has experience in using relics, I don't think he can do such a professional thing. After all, using, making and repairing are two completely different things. I don't think we can repair it well."

"Ah, don't worry about this. Our experts are analyzing the repair methods."

The noble's words caught Xiaolin's attention.

"You mean...expert?"

"He is a researcher of ancient civilization. Our family has prepared a corresponding research room for him to conduct in-depth investigations. He will do the repair work himself. I hope you will collect the required materials according to his requirements."

The noble's statement made people more confused.

Huihui nodded and said, "I see, it means that you don't need to start by investigating the repair method, but just listen to the person's requirements, right? That's great, Xiaolin, it seems that atonement is not as difficult as imagined."

"Of course...you don't need to tell me this!"

Xiaolin rolled his eyes.

Lundberg also smiled and said, "Well, I want to take you to the laboratory... But before that, there is a problem that needs to be solved."

"Problem?"

Darkness looked at Kobayashi strangely.

Just when Kobayashi was curious about why she wanted to see him, Lundberg said with a slight apology: "To be honest, I can't bear it, but I can't just make my own decision. Please understand that this is a necessary instruction from the inspection agency."

It's definitely not a good thing to deliberately make an opening...

Kobayashi also felt something was wrong.

Lundberg continued, "Although it is scheduled to be pardoned, Mr. Kobayashi is still a felon of subversion of the country. It is not allowed for the prisoner to be outside without any restrictions, right? However, it is not easy to monitor adventurers."

Youyou blinked.

"That is to say..."

"Because Kobayashi has not been acquitted, he can't just act freely, right? Well, maybe he will just run away."

Chris said so.

There was a slight resentment in her words.

This is a statement that completely shows that Kobayashi doesn't trust her. No matter how nice it sounds, distrust is distrust, and it is a fact that cannot be concealed.

Lundberg did not deny it.

"Yes, it is really helpful that you understand so quickly."

After a short silence, he said: "Therefore, Mr. Kobayashi and his party, as proof that you will come back here, I want you to leave the "items of equal value" you have here. Of course, if the repair is successfully completed, the items will be returned to you at that time."

Quite an excessive request.

Even with the latter sentence, it is extremely excessive.

Kobayashi has completely understood what he means.

"... In other words, it's like owing a debt?"

"I don't really want to be treated as a debt collector."

Lundberg also looked helpless.

I think it is really a necessary instruction from the inspection agency.

"Then, the "items of corresponding value" that are sufficient to protect you are-"

He pointed to Aqua's ribbon.

I see, is it this?

That's fine.

Kobayashi grabbed Aqua's ribbon and pulled it down.

Aqua screamed, "No! Give it back to me, give it back to me quickly!"

"Hold on! If I don't give this away, I won't be able to move freely!"

"That's it, why is it my ribbon? Can't you just give him Darkness's armor?"

"There's no other way! What the other party wants is your ribbon and Yu Jian's magic sword!"

Kobayashi continued to pull.

In his opinion, handing over these two things was already a good deal. If the other party asked him to mortgage Ryu Zi, then Kobayashi would probably have to consider whether to let Lundberg be humanely destroyed.

He had no effect.

But the stupid goddess didn't agree.

She grabbed a corner of the ribbon tightly and shouted, "No! This ribbon is proof that I am a goddess!"

"Then just give it up. No one thinks you are a goddess anyway..."

Before Kobayashi finished speaking, Aqua grabbed Kobayashi's hair and cried.

"It hurts! You, you, pulling hair is against the rules, right!?"

"Because Xiaolin said something very excessive!"

Aqua pulled her hair and reached for the ribbon.

"Ah, give me back my ribbon!"

"Stop kidding!"

Xiao Lin firmly suppressed the stupid goddess, and then snatched the ribbon away.

After handing these two things to Lundberg, he looked a little embarrassed.

"...That's okay, right? It's indeed my designated guarantee..."

"If you can't go out otherwise, then there's nothing you can do about it."

Anyway, these two things are neither painful nor itchy to Xiao Lin.

"So, is that okay with you, Edgeworth?"

"Well, in this case, even though I went with you but did nothing, I am also responsible. And since Aqua-sama wants to hand over her valuables, I will comply."

Yu Jian Xiangye didn't seem to care.

This guy was obviously tight on the magic sword baby before.

Do you think that you are doing this for the stupid goddess, so you feel that you have paid a lot?

"Whoaaah!"

While Aqua cried loudly, she kept beating Xiaolin's back.

"Xiaolin, you idiot! A heartless scumbag!"

"...Aqua seems very reluctant."

Huihui couldn't bear to look at her.

Xiaolin rolled his eyes and said, "Leave her alone. Besides, this matter is Aqua's fault, and she has to take responsibility for it."

"That's right, then I'll keep it solemnly."

Lundberg ordered his butler to store these two items in a secret room, and then said to the group: "Then, I will take you to our research laboratory, over here."

Several people followed him and came to a room.

This room is filled with bottles and jars of things, messy books and messy materials everywhere, and there is almost no place to start.

And here, several people saw an ordinary man wearing a white coat, with a thin face, sunken eyes, and dry and colorless blond hair.

"First, first time we meet, I am Raf, the Lundberg family's researcher on ancient civilizations."

He introduced himself to a few people, and then said in a very awkward and reserved manner: "Oh, I'm really, really sorry. I didn't expect anyone to come to visit, so the ground is very messy."

Rafe kept sorting out the clutter on the floor, staggering around the room filled with clutter.

"I remember the chair seemed to be buried around here..."

He looked around, his eyes brightened slightly, and he quickly walked over to a pile of debris, pulled the chair legs hard, and said to them: "Ah, I found it, I found it, please go here...ah, it hurts!"

In front of everyone, he fell to the ground like this.

"Hey hey..."

"Well, as you can see, he is a rigid person. But as a researcher, he is still very capable. Just follow his instructions, Mr. Xiaolin, I look forward to your activity."

Lundberg seemed to trust this person very much. He left quickly after saying hello.

It seemed like there was something else going on.

Rafe was also timid and embarrassed and lowered his head to Xiaolin and said: "Um... please give me more advice. Ah, um... Lord Lundberg is the benefactor who prepared the research laboratory for me, and he is a very remarkable person... ...Yes, I am also very enthusiastic about the research of ancient civilizations, and I am very happy to provide funds and take good care of me this time. I feel honored to be able to entrust this matter to me, huh..."

Then, before Xiao Lin was about to start asking, he started talking a lot.

The taste of a standard scientific research madman.

At this time——

"...Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, come here."

"Huh? What's wrong, Megumin?"

He was dragged away by the little loli.

Megumin lay in his ear with some worry and whispered: "Is it really okay to act according to this person's instructions?"

"Since the head of the Lundberg family has said so, there is nothing we can do. Besides, there is no one else who can fix it." Xiao Lin sighed helplessly.

He really wanted to leave this chore to Aqua.

But let’s not talk about whether Lundberg will believe the stupid goddess, after Xiaolin snatched her ribbon, he was no longer willing to help.

"Hey, you two!"

Darkness also came up and whispered to them: "Don't whisper in such a close place. What if His Highness Raph hears you?"

"However, even if this is related to Xiaolin's life, you have to carefully consider whether the other party is trustworthy." Megumin retorted in a low voice.

"That is to say, this is about my life...wait, did you just say for now?"

Xiao Lin was slightly stunned.

Darkness also knew, but she had no choice but to say: "Now I can only rely on this person to take care of me. Don't say anything too rude. Aqua also needs to be careful-"

"I said, do you really know how to repair it? I don't think you are smart at all. Fix it quickly and return the ribbon to me. If you want to do it, you have to do it well... Uh-huh!?"

I saw the stupid goddess running over to provoke others.

Darkness covered her mouth and shouted, "Oh Aqua, I want to change my mood and go outside the room together!"

"……ha!"

Aqua forcibly broke away from Darkness's restraints and complained: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about all of a sudden? Darkness, aren't you asking about how to repair the relic?"

"Eh~ Only at this time can we discuss the truth! Okay, come here quickly!"

"Ah, wait, why are you pulling me!?"

Darkness took away the stupid goddess arbitrarily, and this was the only way to prevent her from causing trouble.

"Ah, Aqua-sama?! Please, please wait!"

Yu Jian Xiangye also hurriedly caught up.

Such a noisy scene scared researcher Laf, who asked cautiously: "That, that...what was that just now..."

"Ahahaha...I'd be happy if you don't mind." Chris said with a smile, but there was more embarrassment in his smile.

"Please keep talking if you care."

Youyou also persuaded.

"Okay, okay..."

Researcher Laf seemed unable to let it go.

However, he still looked very responsible.

"Well, then, let's talk about ancient relics!"

As soon as this was mentioned, Laf's interest was very high.

He said to everyone: "During the continued investigation underground, I found written materials that seemed to be the design drawings of the relics. It was recorded that the relics were made of rare materials and lost technology, and it was difficult to repair them with the materials currently in circulation."

"Hey, isn't this impossible to repair?"

"No, no, no, it's just difficult to repair with ordinary materials. Through continuous analysis, I found several materials that can be used. I hope everyone can collect these materials."

Researcher Laf smiled.

Huihui nodded and said, "It's just collecting special materials, which is better than what I thought."

"Ah, hahaha..."

Raph laughed awkwardly, "It's not as easy as it sounds... Because they are all special materials, it is necessary to sneak into that... maze."

"... maze?"

"Ah, yes."

"We are level one?"

"Yes, it's like this..."

"..."

Kobayashi took a deep breath, then slammed the table and cursed, "It's a miracle that you can do it! You are already very weak, and you have to sneak into the maze, seriously ? ! "

"I, I know, I know!"

Laff, as if afraid of being beaten, hugged his head and said quickly: "It is impossible for you to challenge the maze in your current state... So, I want to start with the exploration of the maze for beginners and the nearby ruins, where there are target materials..."

"That's not the question! We have a useless great magician who can't even use the only magic? ! "

"Wait a minute! Did you take me for a fool just now? You are a fool! This is what I care about most!"

Kobayashi didn't have time to care about the anger of the little exploding loli.

"I'm just stating the truth! You can't do anything except Explosion Magic. What can you do without Explosion Magic?!"

"Ah, you said it! Xiaolin, you said something you shouldn't have said!"

Meihui's eyes were red. She stared at Xiaolin and raised her magic wand, shouting: "Then I will prove that I can also cause an explosion now! As long as the magic power of the mana gem in the magic wand is applied to the limit...!"

"That's called self-destruction! Huihui, don't do it!"

Youyou cried and tried to stop the crazy Explosion Lolita.
