The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 104 The goddess is sick, three roads are all broken and five people are all crazy

Zun Zun told the eldest sister of the guild the true identity of the Demon King's army cadres and their purpose of coming to Axel. After hearing this, she left with a worried look on her face.

He should ask for help from the high-level adventurers of the kingdom. After all, there are only novice adventurers in this town, and no one can stop the Headless Knight.

But none of this has anything to do with him.

In the following days, Zun Zun kept looking for a suitable house to live in.

Generally speaking, adventurers don't buy houses. Those who can afford it live in inns, and those who can't live in stables. Although the gap is quite large, it is already the norm among adventurers.

Just respect it.

He couldn't make potions in the inn, and he couldn't stay in the stable all the time. Ordinary high-level potions were easy to make, but high-difficulty ones required an absolutely quiet and safe environment.

Otherwise, what if there was a flood near the stable one day and his medicine was purified?
He really wanted to live in the castle after the Dullahan was expelled, but Huihui disliked it because it was far from the town and refused to agree.

"Hey, hey, hey, aren't the house prices in this town a little bit outrageous?"

Zun Zun looked at the expensive house and was stunned. Because he needed a workshop or warehouse to make magic props, he needed a space like that, which increased the budget a lot.

I thought that with 200 million Eris was a small rich man, but it was still far from it.

Why is it that a house with a courtyard is sold for 5000W Eris? Can it be sold for double the price if it has two floors? How are house prices in this world calculated?!
Housing prices in the city are high, so he wants to go back to the countryside.

Of course, there is still one advantage, that is, there is no public tan area, and the property can be disposed of at will after purchase, and there is no problem at all even if it is demolished and rebuilt.

The only downside is that he can't afford it.

Just when Zun Zun was thinking whether he was not working hard enough——

"Zun Zun, can I ask you to go on a mission together?"

Sato Kazuma came to see him.

Aqua and Darkness also followed them. The three of them seemed to have formed a temporary team. It was unknown whether the three of them had done any missions before or were hit by the powerlessness of reality.

but……

"Doing a mission?" Zun Zun asked curiously, "Didn't you make a lot of money at the Cabbage Harvest Festival? You don't have to do a mission so soon, do you?"

"Actually it's Aqua."

Sato Kazuma explained with a helpless tone.

Although Aqua was in charge of logistics at the cabbage harvest festival, she also caught a lot of cabbages. She thought she would get rich, but she caught only lettuces and made no money at all. She thought she would make money, so she bought a lot of debts from the guild and is still in the process of paying them back.

I forgot, the stupid goddess has very bad luck.

"So, what's the mission?"

"this."

【Purify Lakes】

Looking at the commissioned task in his hand, Zun Zun fell into deep thought.

The reason for the deterioration of water quality is landslide, and the reason for the landslide is because of Huihui's explosion magic, but Huihui didn't use it much... No, doesn't she explode every day?
And not only did she explode, but Zun Zun did it too.

I remembered that when I was marked by the bloody flying squirrel, I changed the terrain by exploding.

Sato Kazuma pointed at the request and said, "Look at this. I came to you because there is a brutal alligator living there. The name of this monster sounds bad, so I came to you."

Indeed, the Brutal Alligator is a monster living in the depths of the forest, but since the Headless Knight occupied the castle and drove the monster away, it was probably forced to live in a polluted lake.

It’s round, everything is round.

"So Kazuma, what are you going to do?"

"Aqua said she has the ability to purify lakes. I plan to borrow a cage from the guild and throw her into the lake like a tea bag. This way, even if she is attacked by brutal alligators while purifying the lake water, it won't matter."

Is this really the method?

Zun Zun rubbed his brows and said, "Isn't this a good idea? Why do you need to look for us? You know, one more person means one more person to share the bounty."

"That's true, but it's just for insurance."

Sato Kazuma scratched his head and said, "You also know that Aqua has no offensive power, and Darkness can only be a meat shield. If there is an unexpected accident, I really can't handle it alone. Besides, it's not me who owes the money, why are you fighting so hard?"

Since you don't owe the money, you don't care about the amount of the reward?
Very much his style.

"okay."

Zun Zun agreed, after all, it was also his responsibility to pollute the lake. Huihui and Youyou had no objections, Huihui even hoped that her explosion magic would work.

Then the six people walked towards the lake.

It is a place a little far away from the town. There is a large lake. The lake is one of the water sources of the town. There is a small river flowing out of the lake and leading to the town.

The lake is next to a mountain, and water continuously flows into the lake from the mountain. There are also several deep pits on the mountain that were blasted by magic.

The lake water looks a bit turbid and there is some siltation.

"I say, do you really want to do this?"

Aqua looked a little uneasy and said timidly, "I feel like I'm a rare monster that was captured and will be sold soon."

The goddess imprisoned in an iron cage looks a little miserable.

"Well...how about this."

Zun Zun suddenly said, "Since Aqua doesn't like being locked in a cage, then let's lock Darkness in a cage."

"…Huh?" X5

The five people were stunned.

Sato Kazuma waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, the person who can purify the water is Aqua, what's the use of Guandakanis?"

"But can't Aqua be purified by touching water? It doesn't matter if she is on the shore, it can also protect her from attacks by monsters." Zun Zun said.

“Is that so…?”

“Besides, Darkness has a taunt skill, right? As long as the Brutal Alligator appears, can’t Darkness use the taunt skill to lure the monster away? And she’s locked in a cage, so the monster can’t attack her at all, right?”

hiss----

Sato Kazuma took a breath.

This is also an excellent method, but he always feels guilty about it. After all, the initiator of this mission is Aqua, and everyone is here to complete the mission with her.

"But is this okay..."

“What’s wrong with that? Aqua and Darkness both seem to agree.”

Zun Zun motioned him to look at the two of them.

Darkness yelled with her face flushed and breathless, “I do! Being locked in a cage with a bunch of alligators outside craving for my body, wanting to bite but unable to... What kind of play is this? It must be amazing!”

"Me too! Besides, it's just too stupid for a goddess to be locked in a cage!" Aqua complained loudly.

Zun Zun signaled Sato Kazuma with his eyes.

They both agreed, so why would they refuse? Darkness got to enjoy the special play, and Aqua didn't have to be locked in a cage, a win-win situation!
"Okay, well, if you two agree..."

Sato Kazuma agreed reluctantly.

Then Darkness sat in the cage. Her cheeks flushed and she said in a trembling voice, "I feel like a sow on display. I will be attacked by a violent alligator soon, and you are watching my ugly appearance on the shore... This feeling is great!"

“Ms. Darkness…”

Youyou looked at her with a complicated expression.

Although I know I shouldn’t dictate other people’s hobbies, Darkness’ hobbies are just too weird. Soon, the cage containing Darkness was thrown into the lake, and Aqua sat on the shore and soaked her feet in the lake to purify the water. From what she said, it would take about half a day.

Thinking that all the residents of the city had to drink her foot washing water, Zun Zun decided to use magic to create water to drink during this period of time.

Two hours had passed since then.

The brutal alligator never showed up.

Huihui and Youyou are playing chess, and Sato Kazuma is chatting with the stupid goddess.

I'm getting a little bored waiting for you all.

He thought about it and decided to practice treading water here. He had neglected exercise since leaving the Red Demon Clan, and he couldn't continue to slack off like this.

Zun Zun controlled the magic power and strolled on the water easily and leisurely.

Sato Kazuma was stunned for a moment after seeing this and said, "It's actually possible to walk steadily on the water. Is this some special magic?"

"This isn't magic, it's simply attaching magic power to the soles of your feet as you step on the water. It's a form of practice," Youyou explained.

"I see, that's it."

Sato Kazuma nodded.

Then, he looked at the stupid goddess next to him and said, "Aqua, Zun-zun is more like a goddess who controls water than you."

Aqua immediately exploded, and she yelled, "What do you mean!? Are you saying that I don't look like a goddess?"

"Isn't it? Tell me, how do you look like a goddess? You look more like a tea bag."

"Woo! All right! Since you want to see my strength, I'll show you my power as the goddess of water!"

Aqua had tears in her aggrieved eyes.

But the movements of her hands were not ambiguous.

She put her hands into the water, and then something like ripples spread outward from where she was. The ripples continued to deepen, and the lake water became turbulent, making Sato Kazuma visibly uneasy.

"Aqua, what are you doing? Hey!"

"Look, I, Aqua, am the goddess who controls water!"

Then, Aqua raised her hands, and a wave appeared and rushed outward, heading straight for the center of the water where Zun Zun was, and soon created huge waves as high as a hundred meters!

Even a fool would notice such a big noise.

Zun Zun turned his head and what came into his sight was huge waves with no end in sight, even the sun was completely blocked out.

“…Huh? Is this true? You must be kidding! You must be kidding!!!”

When he discovered it, it was too late. The water was flowing too fast and he could not keep his footing on the water. He was soon swept into the water by the huge waves.

"See! This is my strength!"

"—Idiot! Look at what you've done!"

As soon as Aqua was showing off proudly, Sato Kazuma scolded her.

After a brief moment of daze, Huihui didn't even realize that the wand in her hand had fallen to the ground. With a look of panic and anxiety on her face, she wanted to run towards the lake.

"Respect, respect!"

“Wait, Huihui! Don’t mess around! You can’t even tread water, can you?”

Youyou grabbed her.

However, when Youyou was about to run to rescue Zunzun, Zunzun floated back with the current. He lay on his back on the water, his belly swollen as if he was pregnant for ten months, and there was a crayfish jumping in his mouth.

“Respect, respect!?”

"Are you okay, Zun Zun?"

Huihui and Youyou rushed to rescue him. They kept pressing on Zunzun's belly, and saw his mouth spurting out water like a fountain.

Huihui was so angry that she yelled at Aqua, "What the hell are you doing? Are you an idiot? How can you use such powerful magic!?"

"Hug, sorry..."

Aqua apologized stupidly.

Sato Kazuma angrily hit her on the back of the head and apologized along with her.

But it's not over yet.

As Aqua’s huge waves turned the lake upside down, the brutal alligators at the bottom of the lake were exposed. They immediately locked onto Darkness who was still in the cage, mistaking her for an enemy invading their territory, and quickly pounced on her to bite her.

"Great, great! What an enthusiastic monster! I'm so close but I can't touch you... Come on, come on, more!"

Darkness shouted excitedly.

"This idiot!"

Sato Kazuma held his head in pain, speechless at Darkness who was still enjoying herself. He said to Yunyun who was still pressing Zun Zun's belly, "Yuyun, please use magic to destroy all the monsters gathered around Darkness."

"Eh? Ok, ok."

Youyou was also panicked by a series of unexpected accidents. She was at a loss and without thinking much, she stretched out her hand and cast magic at the group of brutal alligators around the cage.

"Light of Saber!"

"babble--------"

When lightning struck the center of the brutal alligators, Darkness in the cage screamed excitedly.

"Oh, I forgot! Water conducts electricity!"

Sato Kazuma slapped his head.

It is common sense that water conducts electricity. Under normal circumstances, only pure water is non-conductive, but polluted lakes are definitely not included.

“Waaaaaaah! Miss Darkness, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!!!”

Youyou was so anxious that she almost cried.

Darkness in the cage, after enjoying the violent stimulation of the thunder and lightning, collapsed to the ground with a flushed face, and occasionally trembled slightly, muttering softly:

“…Great.”

She was hopeless.

Sato Kazuma had a painful expression on his face. After a brief silence, he said to the stupid goddess beside him: "Aqua, take responsibility and go to the cage."

"Eh? I don't want to! I say, why don't we just give up this mission and come back tomorrow."

Aqua was stunned for a second.

He shook his head decisively and refused.

However, Sato Kazuma didn't give her room to refuse. He pointed at her forehead and cursed: "I don't want tomorrow! It's because of your reckless use of magic that Zun Zun suffered and Darkness was attacked by a group of brutal alligators. Now no one can protect you. Hurry and stay in the cage!"

"I don't want it! I don't want it!!"

Aqua cried and yelled, but was still thrown into a cage by Sato Kazuma and sent to the lake to be a tea bag goddess.

After a while, the group of brutal alligators surrounded the cage again, opening their bloody mouths and biting the cage continuously.

“No…no!!!”

Aqua in the cage cried loudly and chanted purification magic continuously. Now she dared not to be lazy anymore.
