Chapter 2439: Same God, Different Fate
Life absorption is the innate magic of Wiz, the shop owner. It is a skill that absorbs the life or magic of the enemy. It has no combat power itself, but it is still very useful as an auxiliary. Sato Kazuma has now clarified his position. He is definitely not the main output, and he can't bear the damage, let alone save people. So he can only play auxiliary and be responsible for command. Therefore, the skill of life absorption can absorb other people's magic and pass it to others when necessary.
Sato Kazuma is equivalent to a converter.
However, Aqua still looked unhappy. No matter how Wiz explained that she had never hurt any human, it was useless. Wiz could feel the huge holy magic in Aqua, so she was very scared.
Although Wiz had no business acumen, as a lich, she was more powerful than the headless knight, and she also had a keen perception of holy power. She had discovered that two terrible holy powers appeared in the city before, one was naturally Duran, and the other was Aqua.
Now the goddess is in her own shop, and she has to purify herself. Wiz didn't even think about resisting, because resisting the gods would not end well. All she could do was beg the other party not to hurt her: "I really haven't hurt anyone, and I've been away from the Demon King's Army for a long time." It's been a long time indeed. Although she looks very young, her real age is a mystery.
Of course, there is another more important point, that is, Wiz has no record of doing evil in the Adventurer's Guild, and naturally there is no reward. There is no benefit in defeating her.
"You don't have a reward?" Aqua wanted to see if the other party was lying.
"I have never done anything to hurt anyone, so I am not wanted by the Adventurer's Guild, and of course there is no reward." Wiz said: "You have to believe me."
"Stupid goddess, what's that expression on your face." Kazuma found that the goddess became impatient. When she heard that Wiz didn't have a reward, her expression changed 180 degrees. If the goddess could resolutely eliminate Wiz, Kazuma would find it troublesome, but the goddess is also a god with divinity, but now she is like a profiteer doing business. When she heard that the other party is not worth money, she becomes bored. Does the goddess also have to look at the price when doing things? You are a god after all, you have some dignity, some principles, and some ideals for the people.
She is indeed a stupid goddess. Although they are both goddesses, Eris is completely different.
"I am not interested in monsters without bounties. Ah, it is really boring. Kazuma, you must become stronger and kill the demon army quickly so that I can return to heaven quickly."
Who does the stupid goddess look like at this time? Like the employee who was transferred to the subsidiary in "Hanzawa Naoki", who only wanted to return to the parent company, so she had to force Kazuma to complete the goal. For this, she could give up some of the goddess's persistence and rules, let Kazuma cooperate with the lich, and learn the skills of the lich.
If we think about it from the perspective of a corporate animal, Aqua is a member of the parent company who does everything she can to achieve results. She deceives customers and suppresses juniors. For hundreds of years, she has been wholeheartedly trying to achieve results. However, the juniors obviously have poor performance, but they are loved by everyone. She cheated and cheated to get a lot of results, but she was thrown to the subsidiary just because of a small mistake. The project she was responsible for had no future at all. The pressure can be imagined.
"Hanzawa Naoki" has proved how cruel a blow personnel transfer is to a motivated office worker. Leaving the parent company is equivalent to being banished to the cold palace, and it will be difficult for her to make any achievements.
Compared with Aqua, Eris has not sent even one time traveler so far, because Eris explained the time travel to the young souls truthfully, for example, when the language crystal and the time traveler merge, there is a certain probability that the time traveler will become an idiot. When facing the time traveler, Aqua always tries to fool them as much as possible, or even vaguely mentions some important settings such as the time traveler's ability selection, as long as the time traveler does not ask her, she will not tell them, and try her best to complete the business as the first goal, rather than the life safety of the time traveler and the prosperity and development of the other world.
It is similar to insurance agents and salesmen who sell financial products, only talking about benefits and not risks.
However, Aqua was so dedicated and sent so many time travelers, but in the end, the top management had no intention of keeping her. Kazuma said to take Aqua away one second, and the angel came down the next second to say that the contract was established, and Aqua was sent to another world. It was like a salesperson who was demoted to a subsidiary.
In the eyes of the top management, Aqua's diligence and hard work were nothing. She thought that she would be valued for her efforts to send time travelers, but it was not.
Wiz taught Kazuma life absorption without charging any fees. He was really kind. Kazuma said that when he had money in the future, he would definitely come to buy some props.
Wiz was very happy, and she was willing to hand over a task on hand to Kazuma: "I have an exorcism task on hand, you can take it if you are willing. If it is Lady Aqua, she can definitely do it."
Wiz is a kind lich with a good reputation. She often helps people solve some ghost problems, but Wiz thinks that the goddess is definitely more suitable than her: "If you complete it, you can get a good reward. Are you willing to accept it?"
Of course I am willing. The task is to exorcise a house, and the reward is this house, and Kazuma and others can live in it.
It was really a timely help. This Wiz the Lich was like Santa Claus. She not only taught them skills, but also gave them a task that they needed most. If they succeeded, they could leave the cold stable.
Let's go and see the house for the task. It was a very grand mansion. Although it was full of ghosts, it was definitely 10,000 times better than the stable. It had doors and windows, tables and chairs, a fireplace, and even a large bathroom.
"Call the team members and exorcise the demons immediately." Sato Kazuma waved excitedly. He must take this house and definitely move in.
The owner of the house had handed the key to Wiz. Now there was no one in the house. Kazuma and the other four moved in directly. They were not afraid of ghosts because they were poor ghosts themselves.
Poverty is more terrible than ghosts.
At this moment, Duran was still studying the rules of the heaven. The rules of the heaven were very complicated. Why did Aqua and Eris, two goddesses, have different fates? This was a very good topic. The head office called the Heaven managed a series of subsidiaries. In order to solve the problem of the younger soul structure of the heaven, this company came up with a time travel project, which was in charge of the guiding goddess.
In fact, the essence is not to travel through time, but to maintain the authority of heaven, so the two goddesses Aqua and Eris have completely different experiences. Aqua focuses on her own business and thinks that she will be appreciated if her business is good. In fact, she has no overall concept. Although Eris's business ability is not good, she is full of the glory of the goddess everywhere, maintaining the face of heaven and representing the authority of heaven. In addition, her loyalty to her predecessors has made her a representative of the goddess and also received the faith of the world.
"So in the end, what the head office cares most about is face, not the efforts of the office workers." Duran said that such a company will inevitably make the gods feel disappointed.
