Chapter 276
Haita looked at Fulilian, "Even after eighty years, humans are still fighting hard against the demons. Have we... made any contribution to this war?"
Probably Haita also understood Frilian's concerns, so in order not to affect the future, he no longer asked "whether they defeated the Demon King", but took a step back and asked them "whether they have contributed to mankind."
However, even so, Fulilian still didn't know how to answer.
"So what if we know the answer?"
Simmel spoke again.
"But……"
"If the end of the journey to conquer the Demon King is destined to fail, shouldn't we just challenge it? That's not the case."
Simmel's gaze swept across everyone's face, as if light shone on his face. I have to say that Simmel really felt like a brave man at this moment.
"No matter what the outcome is, we will continue to fight...after all, we are a group of brave men."
After hearing Simmel's words, Haita also smiled in relief.
"That's right."
"Listen to me and tell you a story."
A book floated next to Jie, who smiled slightly and said: "Once upon a time, there was a magician who could predict the future. In order to protect the world, he and his teammates decided to defeat a big demon who wanted to destroy the world. At the beginning of the battle, A long time ago, a magician used magic to foresee tens of thousands of futures. His friend asked him, "How many futures will we have to win?" The answer he got was disappointing... There is only one."
"During the battle, Magik's teammates asked him 'are we in the only future you see that leads to victory?' To which Magik's response was 'If I said so, it's not.' ”
"So, there's nothing good about knowing the future, right?"
Ash opened his mouth and said: "If Fulilian said that we failed in the future, wouldn't our journey be meaningless? If Fulilian said that we succeeded in defeating the Demon King in the future, this information would have a bad impact and let us If we lose in the final decisive battle, wouldn’t something big happen?”
Simmel and Haita looked at each other, and then Simmel smiled and said to Ji: "Is this the story you just came up with because of our conversation?"
"Looks like we have a new story to look forward to tonight."
Haita showed an expectant smile, "It would be better if you have wine while listening to the story. After all, wine and stories go best together during the journey."
Aize exposed Haita mercilessly, "Even if you are not on the journey and there are no stories to listen to, it will not affect your drinking, right? You are a fair-weather monk."
Haita: "If I don't travel anymore and don't have Chi's stories to listen to, I will be very bored... Then I will have no choice but to drink to drown my sorrows."
Aize: "As expected, you just want to find an excuse to drink."
Haita: "Ha, ha, ha."
It was such a sparse and ordinary conversation.
During the ten years of traveling there, conversations like this happened countless times. It was really boring and meaningless.
However...seeing it again at this moment, Fulilian couldn't help but smile.
The place in my heart felt warm, as if I had eaten a delicious meal after a long time... The place that had been empty for a long time was filled with a sense of satisfaction.
By the river, a few people decided to take a break and solve their stomach problems.
While Aize was cooking soup, Simmel asked Fulilian: "Fulillian, do you have any idea on how to go back?"
"I have absolutely no clue."
Fulian lowered her eyes in despair, "Originally, I thought I could go back as long as I touched the Goddess Monument one more time, but unfortunately this method was ineffective. I couldn't even identify the spell structure on the stone monument."
Haita said without surprise: "After all, it is the magic of the goddess. There are still many unsolved mysteries."
Ai Ze looked at Qie, "Isn't there anything that Qie can do?"
"Am I omnipotent in your eyes? I'm not Doraemon."
Ji Wei: "If you want to turn back the time and space of the entire world and allow a person to travel to the past, that has surpassed the limit of magic and reached the realm of [power]... That is a field that only gods can touch. I It’s impossible…at least I definitely can’t do it now, and I can’t understand it.”
"Is that so...even Qie can't do anything about it?"
Simmel touched his chin and said, "Then it seems that our next goal is to find a way to get Fulilian back to the future."
Haita: "If we use the Goddess Monument as an entry point, we should go to nearby towns and have a look. The churches and magicians' associations there may do research in this area."
Ash: "In other words, are we going to start collecting intelligence again?"
Afterwards, they arrived at the nearest town.
The shop owner who sells various props, the village chief who collects many books, the monk who presides over the church, the tavern where many people gather, and even the street vendors are not spared.
However, they gained nothing.
...It can’t be said that there is nothing gained. This guy Haita had a good time drinking.
While others were inquiring about the news in the tavern, Haita kept drinking. It was not until the drunken monk lay down on the floor that it affected other people's work. Then Ai and the others had to stop inquiring about the information, and asked the drunken Haita to Tatu returned to the hotel.
By the way, because the smell of alcohol on Haita's body was too strong, Ji, who looked disgusted, suggested that Haita be thrown here.
"That will affect other people's business. At least take Haita back."
This is what Simmel persuaded Ji.
"In this case, I will use magic to burn away all the alcohol smell around this drunkard, so that there is no need to carry him back."
When Ai said this, his expression was quite cold, and it was impossible to tell whether he was joking or not.
"Please don't do it yet."
Simmel smiled bitterly and shook his head.
…
Northern Plateau.
At this time, Qi and others were exploring a maze.
"I said, is this really good for us?"
Haita looked at Simmel at the front of the team, "Isn't the most important thing now to find a way to send Fulian back as soon as possible? But Simmel, you accepted the commission leisurely."
"After all, that's the kind of person Simmel is."
The corners of Fulilian's mouth slightly raised, revealing a charming smile, "I always like to take long detours and enjoy adventures more than anyone else..."
Xinmel's eyes moved slightly, and he quietly saw Fulilian's smile in his eyes. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, then he closed his eyes and shrugged, "I can't help it. After all, everyone asked me so, I can't refuse at all." Ah...and I also want to fulfill that child’s wish.”
In order to collect information about the Monument of the Goddess, they arrived at a village.
Like the previous times, they didn't get any useful clues in that village.
As they were preparing to leave the village and set off for their next location, they were approached by a couple with their children.
The couple had been adventurers before getting married, and their children also yearned for an adventurous life and worshiped Simmel as a brave man.
"We want to use our past deeds to bring some confidence to the children, but the pocket watch with the photos of that time was lost while exploring the maze. We would like to ask you to help bring that pocket watch back."
Even their children timidly said, "Please... please."
"In that situation, I really couldn't say no."
Ai touched his chin, nodded and said, "After all, that kid is quite cute."
Simmel flipped up his hair and said narcissistically: "After all, he is my admirer, so of course he is good-looking... although not as good-looking as me."
Haita: "This person is here again..."
Aize: "But we really can't waste too much time on this commission. Fortunately, this maze has been explored by many people. We should be able to complete the commission quickly and continue to search for information about the Goddess Monument, right?"
Haita: "The premise is that Fulilian can save us some worries this time and not trigger those traps that even fools can find... What about Fulilian?"
Ash raised his hand and pointed, "If you are looking for Fulian, you can look towards the ten o'clock direction."
Several people looked up and saw Fulilian squatting in front of a treasure box. While carefully wiping off the dust on the treasure box, she smiled and said to herself: "This magic power...maybe it is a magic book."
"No, no, no, that thing is so suspicious. It looks like it's a Mimic, right?"
Haita gently pressed his swollen and painful forehead, walked behind Fulilian and said: "Fulillian, you have to understand that this maze has been explored by more than one person, how could there be a treasure chest placed in such an obvious place? Where is the place?”
Ai Ze looked at Ai with doubtful eyes, and then Ai responded: "The result of 'Judge the Magic of Treasure Box' is Mimic."
Haita: "Look, Qie said so."
However, even though Haita argued hard, Fulilian remained unmoved.
"Haita, the accuracy rate of that magic is only 99%. In other words... there is a 100% chance that the treasure box in front of you is real. The reason why those who have explored this place left this treasure box alone , just because you believe too much in the results given by magic.”
"...This guy actually believes in the one percent possibility."
Haita didn't know whether to admire Florian's perseverance or to complain about Florian's stupidity.
"Don't forget, I come from the future eighty years later."
Fulian turned back and smiled confidently at them, "Now I am much more mature and reliable than the Fulian you know. Not only have my magic skills improved a lot, but I have also begun to accept apprentices."
"...It sounds really reliable."
Simmel smiled softly, as if he had heard something good.
With a smile shining with confidence on her face, Frilian stretched out her hand towards the treasure chest in front of her.
Half a minute later...
Frillian: "It's so dark——! It's so scary——!"
Haita: "What did I say? What did I say!"
Simmel: "...I actually chose to believe in Fulilian for a moment."
Ash: "It's really good, it's really good, this is so Fulian...ah ha ha ha!"
Aize: "Is it really okay for you to watch the show like this? Fulilian is about to be completely eaten."
Because attacking the Mimic directly will also hurt the person in its mouth, you must first rescue the person the Mimic bites.
Fortunately, they have encountered this situation too many times... so many times that they almost vomited.
In a short time, a few people rescued the drool-covered Fulilian from the mouth of the Mimic, and then eliminated this "strongest (questioned) monster that can single-kill a thousand-year-old magician multiple times." "The Mimic has been killed.
Simmel: "It's obviously a super weak monster...why do I feel so tired?"
Haita: "Me too... I can't get any energy at all."
Then, a certain instigator who had just been rescued unconsciously said to the two of them: "What's wrong with you two? Are you feeling unwell? Haita, did you drink too much and get retribution?"
Haita suddenly felt red: "Whose fault do you think this is?!"
According to the clues provided by the client, the pocket watch they wanted to retrieve should be deep in the maze, so they also headed towards the depths of the maze.
Pushing open the wooden door, Simmel and the others saw a scene that made them feel extremely stomachache.
I saw more than a dozen treasure chests lined up neatly, as if they were waiting for someone destined to open them.
An eerie silence filled the small space.
Several people looked at Fulilian in the middle with strange expressions at the same moment. Should I say it was no surprise... At this moment, Fulilian was staring closely at the row of treasure boxes, with a smile on her lips and shining eyes, like a The lustful emperor looked at the row of concubines waiting for him.
"I suddenly had an ominous premonition..."
Simmel tightened his cloak tightly, as if doing so could dispel some of the chill.
"What a coincidence, I have one too..."
Haita adjusted his fallen glasses and pretended to be calm.
"I smell fun."
Ji raised her hand to cover her slightly raised red lips, her beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons, and she smiled happily.
Aize has too much beard, and you can't see any change in his expression at all.
Two minutes later, the four people gathered in a circle, looking down at... Frilian's vagina that had not been swallowed by the Mimic.
"It's so dark——! It's so scary——!"
This time, several people did not rush to save Fulilian, but turned their heads and looked at the dozen treasure boxes that had not yet been opened.
Aize: "...Just leave this embarrassing elf here."
In the past, someone should have tried to persuade Aize at this time.
But this time, it was rare that both Simmel and Haita looked hesitant to speak.
