Chapter 482
Then in the evening, Igarashi, who lived alone in a single room, heard a knock on the door. It was Aqua.
"This town seems to be in crisis."
Aqua looked serious.
"Indeed, if the goddess of water goes to bathe in hot springs everywhere, all the hot springs will turn into hot water before long."
Igarashi nodded repeatedly and sighed.
"Listen carefully to me! I didn't purify the hot springs of my own will, and the hot springs will recover on their own. But it's strange. When I soaked in the hot springs, it took me a long time to purify them. Speaking of my purification His ability is so great."
With that said, Aqua put her finger into the cup on Igarashi's table, instantly purifying all the juice inside into pure water.
"Let's see."
Aqua tilted her head, looking very proud.
"Pour me another glass of juice."
"oh."
The goddess of water honestly poured a glass of new juice and placed it in front of Igarashi, licked her fingertips and continued.
"As you can see, generally speaking, the purification ends in an instant, but I just spent a lot of time in the hot springs. This proves that the hot springs are polluted to a considerable extent. I heard that the quality of the hot springs has suddenly improved all over this town. Isn’t it a worsening disaster? This must be the demon king’s army who sees our Axis Order as a threat. They think we can’t win in a head-on challenge, so they want to seize the Axis Order’s most important financial source, which is the hot spring!”
Aqua was thinking wildly, but Igarashi had to admit that she was right.
"I will rise up to protect this town! Igarashi, are you willing to assist me?"
"Why are you coming to me? Just like how you usually complete tasks, you can solve it yourself."
"They rejected me with all kinds of stupid excuses, saying that Axis cultists are scary and so on, even though they are so cute."
"What about Wiz? She should be willing to help you, right?"
"The water I purified seems to be lethal to the lich. She is a little weak."
"It's up to you. You can figure it out on your own."
"Please!"
It seems that Aqua also knows that she alone cannot solve this problem. She keeps shaking Igarashi's arm, and her whole body is almost leaning on Igarashi. Although her fighting skills are not good during this period, How much progress I have made, but I have learned to ask for help.
"Okay, I'll help at the last minute."
Then the next day, as the compassionate goddess of water, Aqua went around purifying the polluted hot springs and removing toxins. However, others did not know it. Seeing that their hot springs had turned into ordinary hot water, many hot spring shop owners Start rejecting Aqua as a guest.
Aqua hopes to get help from the Axis cultists. Originally, she looks a lot like the goddess Aqua, with aqua hair. She is not opposed to becoming a priest of the Axis cult. Those cultists are really capable. May help, but all this fell apart after Aqua went to the headquarters of the Axis Order and purified the largest hot spring into hot water.
For a moment, Aqua was in a situation where everyone was shouting and beating her.
It was a little pitiful for the water goddess to receive such treatment in her own territory. Although Aqua was mentally retarded, she still hugged Wiz and cried all night.
The effect of the goddess's tears was so powerful that the powerful King of Inanimate was almost completely purified, but it was Igarashi who pulled the two apart in time and allowed Wiz to use life drain on himself to avoid the Lich being destroyed.
Looking at the tearful Aqua, I should say, I should feel pity, but Aqua's sad expression at this time makes people laugh. She really lacks the majesty of a goddess.
"Okay, let me help you, go to the source of the hot spring, there should be a problem there."
Igarashi held back his laughter and reached out to the helpless goddess.
Chapter 667 Purification
The headquarters of the Axis Order, there is a mountain behind the cathedral, and the source of the hot spring is on that mountain.
The road leading to the mountain was guarded by the Knights, who claimed that no one could go up the mountain except the hot spring manager. Now there was a problem with the hot spring. They did not find the culprit, but they stopped the goddess of water who wanted to solve the problem. This way The guards are really useless.
Igarashi simply used the law to brainwash them.
"Sir, the hot spring manager has actually gone up the mountain before. He said he wanted to investigate the cause of the pollution, and also said that no one is allowed to come here."
No one is allowed to come? Isn't this just a plan to do something shameful? What a bunch of pig brains.
Igarashi didn't care that he had become his loyal knight and pulled Aqua up the mountain. The attitude of the knights suddenly changed, which was very strange, but Aqua couldn't care too much at this time. She didn't care about details in the first place. People are preoccupied at the moment and just want to solve the pollution problem of hot springs.
Push aside the overgrown vegetation and walk on the steep mountain road covered with snow.
Because I searched mentally beforehand, I didn’t go the wrong way.
In order to deliver the hot springs from the source to the town, the Axis Order built six huge water pipes. The small sources they encountered along the way were all polluted. Then, Aqua, under the leadership of Igarashi, saw A "human" releasing toxins.
The guy's limbs were twisted beyond the limits of the human body, dripping venom into the water.
"Igarashi, him?"
Aqua still didn't quite understand the situation and quietly pulled on Igarashi's sleeve.
"He is the culprit. He is a mutant of the poisonous death slime. He has the ability to mimic. He probably deceived the knights outside by transforming into a hot spring manager. But even if he can mimic, he shouldn't be able to mimic voices. Yes, the Knights are still not very vigilant.”
"You can see my true identity so easily. Who are you?"
Hans, who was poisoning, had actually discovered the two people not far away. After all, they didn't hide at all, and they were talking there unabashedly. Full of vigilance, he immediately changed back to his true form, and the extremely huge death poison was Slime, although most of the time, slime is a low-level monster, but when it grows to a certain level, or has some innate characteristics, it becomes very terrifying. It has a considerable degree of physical attack resistance and magic immunity. Coupled with the ability to swallow and digest almost anything, Hans became a cadre of the Demon King's army, one with a high bounty.
Igarashi looked at Aqua and said.
"Look, this guy looks like jelly, with liquid all over his body and the word death. Aqua, the goddess of water, can you purify it?"
Igarashi who said this grabbed Aqua's arm who had not yet reacted, and threw her to the slime. Hans was shocked when he heard the words "Water Goddess", it was like a soft slime. Sugar or Jelly's body tried hard to move, but Aqua flew too fast and still touched the slime's body. Facing the liquid that contained the concept of death and poison, the goddess's purification ability immediately activated, and Hans instantly Let out a wail.
If they are ordinary clothes, they will be eroded by slime's corrosive body. After all, Aqua has the ability to purify, but she cannot protect her clothes. But she is wearing the goddess's feather robe, and slimes cannot erode it. Instead, he was injured by Hagoromo.
"Aqua, are you scared? If you are, I will pull you out and run away together, right?"
"No! If I can't protect those children now, how can I face them? If I can't even protect the financial backbone of the believers, what's the point of my existence? Don't pull me out, just let me and this guy die together. alright!"
Aqua seemed to be looking forward to death. She even shrank from the giant toad, but now she showed the demeanor of a goddess.
In fact, Hans was already struggling to his death. He wanted to rely on the slime splitting talent to give up part of his body and escape, but he was restrained by the invisible power in the air and could only sit back and wait for death.
With the secret assistance of Igarashi, a Demon King Army cadre was purified by Aqua. During this period, she seemed to shed tears in fear, for fear that she would be swallowed. The goddess's tears were stronger than the purification power, and the slime There was no way to fight back from beginning to end.
Aqua then becomes the hero who saves the town.
She used her 100% true ability to purify, and as a result, the source of the entire mountain turned into hot water, which was far away. The lich Wiz, who was still in the town, almost ascended to heaven because of this purifying power.
Although Aqua purified the toxins, she also turned almost all the hot springs into hot water. In a short time, the hot spring city will become the hot water city.
The Demon King's Army wanted to cut off the Axis Order's financial resources, and to a certain extent, they succeeded.
