Chapter 22: The Demon King and One Blood
Maze props are very cheap.
Since maze items cannot be taken out of the labyrinth, the price of maze items is usually less than one-tenth of the price of the real thing, and some items are not even given away for free. So at a very low price, Natalie helped Green choose a barely usable set of equipment.
Natalie: "Try it. See if it works. There's a lot more to choose from. ”
A short sword, a dagger, a bread and iron shield, and a bracer. After picking up the gear, Green tried to slash with his shield.
"Hmm...... A little unaccustomed to using a shield. ”
"Take it with you. The shield worked well. ”
"Hmm...... Listen to you. ”
Although they are all defective, at least they are sturdy, and the shield is really useful in battle.
When Green had chosen her weapon, Natalie also bought a shield.
"Vistel, we've already chosen, don't you need to buy equipment?" Natalie turned to the silver-haired Lori and asked.
"I've already bought it." Silver-haired Lori shows Natalie a bundle of crossbows in her hand.
"What are you buying so many crossbow bolts for?"
"Use." Silver-haired Lori removed a cylindrical object the size of a water cup from her waist, somewhat resembling a cannon barrel, and stuffed the purchased crossbow bolt into the barrel.
"What is this?" Green looked curiously at what was in the silver-haired Lori's hand.
"Wizard crossbow."
The silver-haired Lori tinkered with the cannon barrel in her hand a few times, and saw that the cannon barrel floated, floating next to the girl like a floating cannon.
The sci-fi-style picture made Green stunned for two seconds.
Green looked at the floating cannon floating next to the girl, and then at the cold weapon in his hand, and suddenly had a feeling of confusion.
"Wow! It's actually a magic weapon? Natalie's eyes widened.
"No, it's a magic weapon." Silver-haired Lori corrected.
“…… Is there a difference? As a warrior with muscles in her brain, Natalie says she can't understand the difference between the two.
Silver-haired Lori: "It's a big difference. Magic weapons are magic attached to weapons, and this magic crossbow only uses magic as energy to drive the crossbow to fire, and does not convert magic into magic. ”
Natalie's face was full of cuteness: "??? ”
Silver-haired Lori: "...... Sorry, I said it too deeply. Think of it as a magic weapon. ”
"Oh." Natalie blinked, an expression of understanding.
“…… How much is this crossbow worth? Green asked.
Silver-haired Lori: "I haven't asked, and I don't know too much." ”
Greene: "......"! This silver-haired Lori is really a local tyrant of the warped family, right?
"Two warriors, one mage, if you can recruit one more thief and a priest, it would be perfect." Natalie paused, "Let's go to the Adventure Guild and ask if there are any adventurers willing to form a team." ”
"Two warriors?" Green looked at the silver-haired Lori, "Isn't she an archer?" How did you become a warrior? ”
"Are you stupid?" Silver-haired Lori looked at Green sympathetically.
"Ahaha...... red-haired girl smiled, "Green, don't be kidding. The two of us are warriors, and Vister is a mage. ”
"Huh?" Green's eyes widened, "I'm a mage!" ”
"Hahaha! ~Stop it. Natalie laughed, "You can even use your fighting spirit, and you say you're a mage?" ”
Greene: "??? ”
Vindictive? I'm a spell!
Green had a "you're kidding me" expression.
"Alright. Let's go to the Adventure Guild to take on the quest and see if we can meet the right teammates. Natalie ignored Green, paid the money, greeted the two of them, and headed straight for the Adventure Guild.
There is also a chapter of the Adventure Guild on the first floor of the labyrinth. Adventurers recruit teammates, exchange information, and claim some maze quests.
Natalie stood in the quest section and looked at it, "Hmm...... Sure enough, there is no information on squad recruitment? ”
"Isn't that one?" Silver-haired Lori said, pointing to a table.
A subtle expression appeared on Natalie's face: "Ah...... It must be a prank. Ignore it. ”
"What's on it?" Illiterate Green asked curiously.
"Urgent! This is a harmonious and friendly team, and adventurers who want to embark on a journey with the beautiful and noble High Priest Lala have come to sign up......" Natalie's face was a little delicate, "I've had a good time every day since I joined this team, and I won the lottery." Thanks to joining Lara-sama's team, not to mention being cured, she has become very popular...... Entry conditions, only for adventurers of the master class......"
A subtle expression appeared on Green's face: "...... It looks like a prank. Although Green didn't understand what the level of the master profession was, judging from the previous explanation, it was clear that there was something wrong with this recruitment announcement.
Natalie nodded, "Forget that." Let's take a look at the tasks first. ”
Because Green is illiterate, he can only watch Natalie and the silver-haired Lori discuss from the sidelines. In the end, the two chose to receive a task of collecting the "horns of the Thunderhorn Rabbit".
In the words of the two of them, although the reward of this quest is low, it can be carried out at the same time as other collection quests, and although it is troublesome to kill the "Thunderhorn Rabbit", it can also be a good exercise in the cooperation between each other.
After receiving the mission and purchasing the map, the three of them set off.
When the group passed through a portal outside the square, an endless grassland appeared in front of them.
With a backpack on his back and a shield in his hand, Green looked around and frowned slightly. I always feel ...... It seems to have a strange feeling.
"This is the labyrinth." Silver-haired Lori looked around, "Isn't there a boundary in this grassland?" ”
"Each floor of the Endless Labyrinth is very large!" Natalie took the map and studied it for a while, "Bunnies, go this way." ”
Natalie stuffed the map into her backpack, held her shield, and led the team in one direction.
"The most mobs on this level are the Horned Rabbit, a rabbit with horns on its head. They hide in the grass and suddenly burst out to hurt people, and our target is the Warcraft mutant of the Sharphorn Rabbit, the Thunderhorn Rabbit......"
Before Natalie could finish speaking, suddenly a white figure shot out of the grass! Straight to the silver-haired Lori!
The silver-haired Lori hurriedly hid to the side! At the same time, he raised the Bible in his hand to block, but ......
"Flutter!"
It was a strong rabbit, about the size of a normal rabbit, but with a long, spiral-shaped horn on its head, like a sharp spear, enough to pierce a hole in anyone's body! And the rabbit's long horn did pierce the belly of the silver-haired Lori!
The red blood instantly stained the silver-haired clothes.
Green took the shield and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air! If that rabbit shoots itself......
"Damn it!" Natalie angrily swings her sword at the Hornhorn Bunny!
However, with a kick in front of the rabbit, she jumped out of the silver-haired Lori and dodged Natalie's sword.
"Wow~" Silver-haired Lori spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground weakly.
The cute rabbit has a long spiral horn on its head, and the red blood dripped from the horn, leaving a few drops of blood on the ground.
The rabbit did not run away, but turned at Natalie, his body slightly bent......
Shoot!
Natalie raises her shield!
"Bump!"
The powerful impact shook Natalie's body, but she managed to block the attack. The rabbit's long horn pierced directly into the shield, like a nail nailed to the wooden shield in Natalie's hand.
"Chance!" Green roared, raised his shield, and slammed it straight at the rabbit!
"Bump!"
The two shields collided, causing the horned rabbit to be nailed to the shield to be dizzy, and depriving the rabbit of the opportunity to pull out its horns.
Green retracted his shield, drew his sword, and stabbed it down!
The fur of the longhorn rabbit was stronger than Green had expected, but Green managed to stab it with a sword.
Scarlet blood spreads on the longhorn rabbit.
The rabbit struggled with Natalie's shield for a while before finally losing his strength......
"Smack! ~" With a bang, a lump of meat fell to the ground.
The rabbit is finally dead......
"Veste!" Green and Natalie didn't care about the falling pieces of meat, and rushed directly to the silver-haired Lori.
"Are you alright?" Natalie hurriedly covered the bleeding stomach of the silver-haired Lori with her hand.
"This ...... Is it a labyrinth? Silver-haired Lori trembled and raised her hand, looking at the blood on her hand.
