Chapter 616 Holy Armor
After returning from SAO, I thought I would feel even more uncomfortable, but I unexpectedly integrated into it very easily.
No, actually there are some things that I am not used to.
"Darkness, what are you doing in your pajamas in the living room? Can't you control your desire?"
Krillin was sitting on the sofa holding Aqua's egg, while Darkness was standing blankly in the living room.
After hearing Xiao Lin's question, she suddenly realized, "I forgot. We have already completed the game. No wonder the system is not working well."
As she spoke, she slid the window up and down.
The habits formed by the convenient system for two years are not so easy to change.
"Wait, I'll go back and change my clothes now."
At least Darkness remembered to go back to her room to change her clothes instead of in the living room.
Xiaolin was also lying on the sofa with his head tilted back.
To be honest, he was not quite used to it. Without the convenient system, he felt like something was missing.
For example, the egg in his hand, which the stupid goddess had spent hundreds of millions of eris to buy, felt a little strange in his hand.
It's not the egg that's weird, it's Xiaolin that's weird. After all, no matter how realistic the game is, it's not reality. It's actually a novel feeling to touch real objects again.
He was injecting magic power into the egg and doing magic training at the same time.
Before traveling through time, they entrusted the egg to Vanir, and in reality, a lot of magic should have been injected into it.
Aqua was originally going to do it herself, but ever since Kobayashi brought back Yui's USB drive, Aqua has been hiding in the warehouse and hasn't come out.
She seems to be interested in dolls.
Before, Kobayashi brought back a lot of information about dolls, hoping that the stupid goddess could help transform Ryuzi, or make another doll, but the stupid goddess thought it was too much trouble and refused to do it.
This time, Yui is a virtual AI, she doesn't even have a soul, and Aqua seems to want to use a doll to make a body for her.
Seriously, instead of using a doll as a body, why not ask the goddess Eris to create a body for me?
Or are there any special restrictions?
In short, Aqua became interested in the dolls, and Sato Kazuma, who was obsessed with the dolls, took the initiative to help her.
As for Huihui and Youyou, they ran out of the city.
boom--
A strong vibration was felt and Xiaolin nodded in understanding.
The little Loli who had endured for two years in the game could no longer bear to use explosive magic in reality, and judging from the vibration, her strength was a little stronger than that of the time traveler.
It’s only been a few days since the reality.
Kobayashi continued to inject magic power into the egg in his hand and could feel the sense of closeness coming from within it.
He didn't go out these days because he was not quite used to it. In order not to be noticed, he stayed at home.
But staying at home doesn't mean no one comes to visit.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then the door opened.
"excuse me……"
It was a weak greeting.
It was definitely not Huihui and Yunyun who could be so polite. They turned around and saw the silver-haired thief.
It's Chris.
No, to be precise, it is the goddess Eris.
Xiaolin greeted her: "Welcome, Goddess Eris."
"Wait, don't call me that name! Call me Chris in the underworld!" The silver-haired thief was a little excited. Now her identity has not been exposed, so she doesn't want others to find out that she is a goddess.
"Sorry sorry."
Xiao Lin waved his hand apologetically and asked again: "Chris, you don't look well, has anything happened recently?"
"...Whose fault do you think it is? The resurrection of so many people shocked the heavens!" Chris rolled his eyes.
"Hahaha, even though you said that, you guys are actually really happy, right? Otherwise, you would have been in a big fuss after so many people were resurrected."
"That's what I said, but I'm the one who suffered in the end!"
Chris complained bitterly.
Indeed, when Aqua descended to the mortal world, Chris became her successor. She needed to prepare several procedures to resurrect one person, and so many people must have been busy and confused.
"So what do you have going on today?"
"I was hoping you could help collect the artifacts."
It's all because of Aqua's inability to collect the powerful artifacts that are scattered all over the world. Chris, in addition to being Darkness's best friend, is also responsible for the task of recovering the artifacts.
However, she was overwhelmed by the recent resurrection of the clerk, so no one was doing the work of collecting artifacts.
"It's all your fault, Xiaolin. Take responsibility now!"
"...Don't say such ambiguous things. Besides, it doesn't matter if we delay for a while. It's not that easy to collect artifacts."
Xiaolin scratched his head.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to help, but something big has happened during this period.
"You should know that there will be a festival in the town soon, right, Chris?"
"Festival?"
“It’s the thanksgiving festival for the goddess Eris.”
"Ah, has it come to this time of year? It's all because the tasks in the heavens are too heavy, I forgot about it."
Chris held his head in frustration.
The Eris Thanksgiving Festival is a festival where people express their gratitude for another safe year and praise the goddess of luck, Eris. It seems that this festival is held around the world at this time of year.
"How about taking this opportunity to enjoy yourself?"
"enjoy……"
Chris was moved.
She has been working for a year, what's wrong with enjoying herself?
But immediately she shook her head again.
"No, no, no, this..."
“Don’t resist so much. Darkness’s father, the head of the Dustinis family, is the current lord of Axel. His family has been devout Eris believers for generations. Every year, they donate a large sum of money to help hold the festival. We were invited this year as well. By the way, Darkness also said that she wants to dress up as the goddess of luck, Eris.”
"Hey, really?"
"Of course. But I think no matter how she disguises herself, she won't look like the real person."
Xiaolin stared at Chris's chest which was not moving.
Even though Darkness wasn't good at fighting, her physical development was among the best, and she was certainly far superior to Chris.
"Xiao Lin!!!"
Chris glared at him.
Xiaolin said unconcernedly, "Oh, by the way, I also heard that it's not just women who can dress up as the goddess Eris."
"I really don't want to hear this news."
Chris complained.
If she pretended to be Eris... no, if she returned to her identity as a goddess, would she also be mistaken for a boy?
This is really a sad story.
"No, no, no, forget about the festival! Let's talk about the artifact first!"
Chris yelled.
Xiao Lin was shocked. He didn't expect that he couldn't get away with it. It seemed that he couldn't avoid it.
He sighed and said, "Even if you are collecting artifacts, they must be hidden in a noble's house. In this case, wouldn't it be better to ask Sato-kun for help? Didn't you cooperate well in the capital?"
"That's because Liu Zi didn't take action! If Liu Zi was there, it would definitely be easier!" Chris seemed to have set his sights on Kobayashi.
Really, if it was Sato Kazuma, he would be more easily persuaded.
However, the goddess's identity can be easily exposed.
Xiao Lin asked again: "Then you came here to find the whereabouts of the artifact, right?"
"Well, I even found out the location. But the artifact seems to be kept in a tricky place. The artifact fell into the hands of a noble named Andain, who seems to have a habit of collecting strange things."
“I see. Then please ask Darkness to come back. If I use the power of the Dustiness family to persuade them…”
"No, that won't work."
Chris said that Andain seemed to have obtained this artifact through illegal means, so he would definitely pretend to be stupid. Even if he went to negotiate with Darkness, he would definitely insist that he knew nothing and would definitely return empty-handed.
"So……"
"That's right, the Silver Hair Thieves are coming back!"
Chris threw over a mask.
It is the same rare black mask of Vanir as Sato Kazuma.
Xiaolin turned the mask in his hand over, played with it, and said, "I understand that you want me to disguise myself as Sato-kun, but there is a big difference in our body shapes."
"Oh, that's not important. Besides, isn't it good to pretend to be a misunderstanding?" Chris raised his thumb.
This seems to help strengthen the Silver-haired Thieves Group.
She clearly didn't want to be called this name before. Was she really infected by Sato Kazuma and Huihui?
At night, Kobayashi put off Aqua and the others, and waited until late at night to stand in front of Andaine's mansion with Ryu and Chris.
Xiaolin complained, "Why do you want Liu Zi to come along?"
"Don't say that. It's easier with Miss Liu Zi here with us!"
"Such a small matter doesn't require Liu Zi to step in, right?"
The difficulty this time is not that high.
It is much easier than sneaking into the royal city, and although the Andain family is a noble family, their influence is not as great as that of Darkness's family.
There were no guards standing guard in front of the mansion, and it was even doubtful whether there were any patrol officers inside.
Kobayashi's five-vision omnipotent eyes surveyed the surroundings.
"Um...no one."
"Really? Lucky!"
Chris grinned happily.
As seen, there were no patrol officers in Andain's mansion. After all, the crime rate in this town seemed to be lower than other places, which might be one of the reasons.
In the dark, unlit corridor, Kobayashi led the way.
His Five Visions were always invincible in such situations, and Chris used his skill of sensing treasures. The two of them moved forward in the direction of the response, but... every time she saw expensive portraits and antique items on the road, she would stop.
"Chris, don't stop as soon as you see the treasure, okay? Let's go quickly after we get the artifact."
"I, I know... but how should I put it? As long as there is a treasure in front of me, my thief blood will begin to boil. When I think about how many poor children I can help with such a treasure, I can't help but...!"
Are you Bai Zhantang from another world?
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to be a chivalrous thief, wait until I'm not around. I only allow you to take the artifact away. And if you want to steal, there should be more valuable and easier to carry treasures in the treasure house."
"That's right! Xiaolin, you are also a qualified chivalrous thief."
"…Sorry, I'm a hero."
"Hahaha, you're joking again."
Chris patted Xiaolin's shoulder.
He is clearly a hero sent by the goddess, yet this guy dares to say this about himself.
The two of them continued forward and finally came to a room with a heavy door.
"Wait, Xiaolin."
Chris held Xiaolin's arm, and after looking around, she said, "I can sense the existence of a trap. Leave it to me. Xiaolin, you haven't learned the skills to remove traps, have you?"
"Oh, please."
"give it to me."
She began to disarm the trap.
Soon, the door was opened and the alarm did not sound. She was a very good thief.
Chris stretched and said, "After all, it's a noble family. Even if they are lax, there should be traps. However, the traps they prepared are relatively simple and can be easily disarmed. Okay, let's go."
"and many more."
Xiaolin held her back this time.
He used the Five Visions to scan the room, and after a careful inspection he found that there were no other traps, so he allowed Chris to open the door.
"Xiaolin, you are really careful."
"After all, an accident happened."
Kobayashi was talking about something that happened in SAO, but Chris didn't know about it, so he seemed a little confused.
Walking into the room, there are a large number of strange props, piles of treasures, and various novel equipment in the treasure house.
This time Xiaolin also opened his eyes wide.
He likes strange and bizarre equipment the most, and the noble Andain is more to his taste.
Chris also began to dig through the piles of treasures. She followed Xiaolin's advice and did not take the big treasures, but instead picked out small and expensive-looking gems.
"Chris, you don't look like a goddess at all right now."
"You don't look like a hero at all."
Chris mocked Kobayashi for wearing strange equipment.
The two laughed.
Xiao Lin took off the equipment that was in the way and began to look around. He did not find any artifacts. Then, Five Visions found a dark room in the room, and the artifact was in that dark room.
However, you still need to find the mechanism to get in.
As Kobayashi was feeling around on the wall, a part of it suddenly caved in, and the wall began to rotate like the revolving wall of a ninja house.
"Is it a secret door? It's a good idea to come with you, Xiaolin."
"Hehehe, because my eyes are very powerful."
The two of them walked into the dark room, talking and laughing.
In the center of the room was a suit of armor, which seemed to be sealed and bound by layers of chains.
The silver-white armor reminded people of a highly perfect work of art. There was no crack anywhere, and the surface was extremely smooth. Even people who knew nothing about armor would have their heartbeat quickened after seeing it, and understand the magic of this armor.
"This is……"
"Yes, it is the Holy Armor Equis... the strongest armor in the world, a divine weapon that can bring victory to the one who wears it."
Kobayashi's eyes lit up.
My hands couldn't help but want to touch this armor.
however--
"Wait a moment, handsome man. No touching."
A man's voice broke into Xiaolin's head.
"Are you talking about me?" Xiao Lin raised his eyebrows. "Although I am happy to be called a handsome man, your disdainful tone makes me uncomfortable."
"I don't care! If it's a girl, you can touch her as you like, but men are forbidden! Who are you two? Why are you here in the middle of the night... Are you intruders?"
"Yes, yes, we broke in without permission. We will take you back and hand you over to the next owner." Chris touched the chain that bound Equis and said, "There are very few female reincarnated people, so it may be difficult to fulfill your wish, but I will give priority to you..."
“Kidnapping!!!”
Before she could finish, Aquis shouted loudly.
