Chapter 017: Encountering a Moment in Eternity, But ......

My name is Moment

Sixteen years old

Originally, he was a high school student who can be seen everywhere in Japan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The only special attribute is that I am a single parent, mixed English and Japanese. The color of the skin inherited from the mother......

Originally, this was nothing, but in Japan, there is nothing strange about mixed races, except for being more eye-catching. It's a pity that I must have offended someone in the Japanese anime industry in my life, just like Kira. was hacked by all kinds of things, and some time ago there was a moment when he sent a thousand miles of blood to Brother Cheng, so forget it, it's a supporting role anyway. Later, a Gundam work directly turned the name Moment into a fool's ...... Please, is it okay for people to call his real name Solan Ibrahim, it's just his code name in the organization. The full name means a moment in eternity.

Forget it, go ahead and introduce yourself, contemptible-

Middle-to-upper physiognomy (modest)

Moral Excellence (Exaggeration)

Not Secondary 2 (Active Duty)

No experience in love......

Place of birth: Tokyo

This city hides countless superpowers, aliens, magicians, and saviors.

I was born in such a place, and of course, I didn't believe in any superpowers, magicians, or anything. Aliens are likely to have ......

Until I tragically lost my life, and was ...... by the Lord God

Tell you secretly, the main god turned out to be Xiao Mengtai, and it was really like the one painted in the rich old thief's "Yu Bai Shu". It's so cute~~!

When I drew this sword, Syluda, I swore to the Lord God that I would be like my idol, King Arthur, the Eternal King of my father's homeland in Great Britain! With the holy sword in your hand, slay the twisted (demon king) of this world and save this different world!

"Mind me, sama!"

There was a bit of a divergence in thought, and at this moment the spearman in my team shouted at me.

"It's okay Xiaolan, just a bipedal wyvern, the distortion of this world is up to me to cut off! - Mystery's "True Broken Army Cross Slash"~!!"

A dazzling golden light flashed, and the Wyvern was slain by me.

"Exia expels the target."

Slowly retracting the holy sword, I recently found that saying some idiot's lines with a blank face is really great, and I feel a little unable to quit. I must be handsome now......

See? My Lord God...... I won't let you down, and I will definitely move forward step by step to save the world in the end! By that time......

The battle wasn't long, but it took nearly a month to track down the Wyvern. It's time to go back too......

"Gone. Xiaolan, Xiaoxi"

Pack the body of the Wyvern in its entirety and wrap it in space. I pulled out the scroll and beckoned to my two current companions, Ran, the half-orc halberd knight, and Nozomi the elven marksman. After a flash of blue light, it disappeared into the decisive battle with the Wyvern......

"Lord Instant, I'll hand over the task to me, you can go back and rest early......

"What, I usually go to hand in the task, I hope you don't run!!"

"You guys~~Huh?!"

"Saki いた野の花よ (Blooming Wildflowers)"

This voice!?

「あぁどうか教えておくれ(Please tell me by all means)」

I can't help it, but I can't help but be attracted to the song. Or can I sing this song from my hometown in this other world......

"人は何所傷つけ合って (Why do people hurt each other)"

"Ugh...... Hey, Ah Zhen, you're so attention-grabbing~! Don't sing that song again—"

"Lord, Lord God! Isn't this the Lord God? What are you doing in that kind of place~!!"

……………………

Op. cant

A little further from town, there is a large lake.

The lake is one of the sources of water for the novice town of Selos Bell, and there is a small river that flows out of the lake and leads all the way to the town.

The lake is next to a mountain from which water flows into the lake.

I see.

As the order says, the lake looks a little muddy and silted.

Just as I was looking at the lake, a timid voice came from behind me.

「…… Na...... Do you really want to do this?"

It's Ah Zhen who sounds very uneasy.

What are you worried about about this flawless battle plan that I came up with?

Ah Zhen opened his mouth:

「…… I feel like I've been caught as a rare monster that I'm going to sell later......

…… The rare monster was now locked in a steel cage, sitting in the center with his knees crossed, as he spoke.

It all started this morning—

"I'm on a mission! Please help me~!!"

"Huh............?"

Hearing Ah Zhen say this suddenly, I, Locke, and Lilith expressed surprise at the same time...... Of course, I was even more surprised, and you know why~! As for Pete, because he was stimulated before, he is still in a state of shame to see people. In his words, he wanted to be alone.

"Please, please——————! I don't want to work all the time! The manager of the croquis shop always asked me to wear a maid costume to attract customers. Instead of being harassed by guests you don't know, it's better to let Yu Hangni harass alone! Please~ This is the request of my life!!"

Speaking of which, Ah Zhen has been really hard lately, and he has to wear a maid...... Well! I seem to have heard something that I really care about-

"W-What do you mean by harassing me alone! I...... I've been harassing you, but I'm not interested in you, understand?"

"Understood! That's why I'm back! Please, help me. It's rare that Sister Louis has found me such a suitable assignment for me."

"What kind of mission?"

It's rare for Ah Zhen to take the initiative to show favor, and I can't be too upright. I'll just help him, but forget about the tasks that are too difficult. Since the last time I made up my mind to venture to the castle of the Demon King's cadre, I was finally hit in the head, and I didn't seem to have any motivation for anything......

"This, this! Look at it!"

Hearing Ah Zhen say this, I looked at the order he was holding.

"-Purification Lake-The lake that is one of the water sources in this town has begun to inhabit the brutal alligator due to the deterioration of its water quality, and it is necessary to entrust personnel to purify the water. If you can purify the lake, the monster will naturally move the habitat, so you don't need to fight the monster. ※Required: A priest who has learned the magic of purification. The remuneration is 300,000 G.'"

「…… Do you have a way to purify the lake?"

Ah Zhen snorted from his nose and answered my question.

"Hmph~, who do you think I am? How can a great sage not even know how to purify magic!"

I see.

You can earn 300,000 yuan just by purifying the water quality, which is really good.

"It's Sister Louis who set the flag. However, as long as you purify, you can be alone, right? In this way, you can also monopolize the reward~!"

However, Ah Zhen doesn't seem to agree with me.

"W-This...... I suppose the brutal alligator will come and disturb me while I clean up the lake. Until I finish purifying, I hope you can protect me from the monsters.

So that's what happened~.

However, from the name of the brutal alligator, it should be a crocodile monster, right?

Sounds dangerous......

"By the way, how long will it take for the purification to end? Five minutes?"

If it can be done in a short period of time, it should be fine.

Ah Zhen tilted his head and said:

「…… Half a day or so."

"It's been too long!"

In the face of monsters that are dangerous when they hear the name, and Pete is no longer there, the only meatier Ah Zhen has to purify the lake water to seek our protection, and thieves, mages, and adventurers are our three crispy professions. We still have to block the monster for half a day, is this asking us to pile up corpses?! Who wants to~!

"Ahh Please, please——! There are no other decent tasks left! Please help me, Yuhang Nijiang~!"

I was going to return the mission to Louis, but Ah Zhen habitually wrapped his right hand around me and cried for help. At the same time, it began to be very off-the-beaten...... This kid has been played badly, right?

"It's useless to call Janis...... Well, that's right. How is the purification going to work?"

I was complaining about it, and an idea suddenly came to my mind.

「…… Hey? If you want to purify the water, as long as I can reach out and touch the water, I can keep doing the purification magic......

"Hey, Ah Zhen. I think there's a way to do it safely, so why don't you try it?"

"Huh??"

That's it, I'm going to move the cage with Ah Zhen to the lake and throw it all into the lake. You don't have to soak all of them in the lake, just put them in the shallows so that Ah Zhen can touch the water.

Originally, I wanted Ah Zhen to cast the purification magic from a safe cage near the lake, but the purification magic had to touch the water to use it, so the battle plan became what it is now. Well~、It's not bad. I'm going to put him in a cage anyway.

At this time, we worked together to move the cage where Ah Zhen was held to the lake.

And this steel cage is borrowed from the guild to hold the usual supplies after the capture of the ferocious demonic beast.

Since there is also the work of catching monsters in the commission, it seems that this is something that is used for that kind of mission. It's very sturdy anyway......

Although I really wanted to take the opportunity to sink this pit cargo god who knew that it was causing trouble, directly to the bottom of the lake, but because the cage was too heavy, I couldn't move it alone, so I didn't get too far from the shore, anyway, I just let Ah Zhen soak in the cold lake water a little.

With this cage, it doesn't matter if he is attacked by a brutal alligator while purifying the lake.

After all, the cage used to carry the monster is a triumph of wisdom! Let's get one for Locke in the future...... Small and medium-sized bounty capitals that can only melee can be farmed in this way.

Incidentally, after the purification is over, the monsters will leave the lake, but just in case they don't leave Ah Zhen's side, a sturdy chain is attached to the cage.

Because the steel cage is quite heavy, we naturally used the guild's beast cart to tow this part of the way to the lake.

In case of emergency, I plan to tie the chain to the borrowed beast cart and let it escape with the cage in tow.

The cage containing Ah Zhen has sunk to the edge of the lake, allowing Ah Zhen, who is sitting inside, to be immersed in the lake. Then it's about maintaining the status quo, and the three of us just have to wait in the distance. Actually, I sympathize with Ah Zhen, this half-day mission, because he may be attacked by monsters at any time and can't wear swimsuits. A professional suit is also clothing, so sticking to the body will take away a lot of heat from the person's body. Of course, I can also learn divine magic to help, but the problem is that the magic of this sequence is all on its own. Although the skill "Purification" has appeared in my learnable skill slot, I, as an adventurer, need four skill points to learn. And...... Judging from my mental power, at most, I can only detoxify the wound...... As for purifying a large lake like Ah Zhen...... To be honest, sometimes I feel terrified, or subconsciously avoid this problem, you know, such a lake, I heard that it takes dozens of priests to keep practical purification skills, even if ten priests are good, but because the MP is not enough, it is possible to purify in half a day after two shifts of rotation. And 300,000, in fact, only 30,000 were distributed to the priests. And that's not even counting the adventurers who were used to protect these priests......

Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, this is also Ah Zhen.

300,000 you want to hire a priest to spend a month vomiting blood and constantly using purification magic? I really huh...... Some people say that I miscalculated this account, but in fact, it will only be longer than this, not shorter than this. First of all, where do you go to find a priest like Ah Zhen who can use purification magic continuously for half a day? Once the purification stops, the pollution of the lake backfires. Plus it is impossible for a person not to take a break, so at least a long time every day falls under repetitive work. All in all, this job is definitely not a task for a squad of adventurers. Hehe~, it seems that Sister Louis is gradually showing her fangs...... You can see it, but you can't eat it, in addition to accumulating pressure, it will eventually become a good use......

In this way, the purification device will be ...... After correcting and setting Ah Zhen by the lake, two hours passed without incident.

There is still no sign of a monster attack.

Locke and Lilith and I stayed on the land about twenty meters away from Ah Zhen, idle and bored while fighting the landlord while watching Ah Zhen's condition. And the reason why they will play the landlord is naturally taught by me. Needless to say...... As for why it is so leisurely, this is not thanks to the Demon King's cadre who lives in the nearby castle - the death knight Beiruhard

At this time, I shouted to Ah Zhen, who had been immersed in the water.

"Hey, Ah-jin! How's the purification going? It's cold to soak in the lake all the time, right? If you want to go to the bathroom, just say it! I'll get you out of the cage——! Don't move! On the tube, three two with a five, I only have one card left! Locke, do you want it?"

I shouted from a distance, glancing at the landlord Locke, and finally at the gang, my farmer, Lilith, who seemed to be very troubled at this time. At this time, Ah Zhen also shouted back.

"The purification is going well! Also, I don't want to go to the toilet anymore!"

I was worried about what would happen to him if he kept soaking in the water, but it seemed that he was still calm.

"Doesn't seem to be a problem~. Bomb four threes! Pair eight, pair point, one six. I'm out of cards......

Locke said so.

"Wait a minute, Lilith, I'll look at your cards! All I have left is a king, and I can hold my hands in my hands~!"

"Don't look at it, you shouldn't have smashed my three fives with a three-two, I think Lilith should have a hand left...... She should have three sixes and a set of wires...... All the cards have appeared in the front, except for the four threes in my hand, there can be no bombs, a blow doubled, a small win a game. Give money, give money!"

"A high intellect is a great one, come, sixty. I'm sorry Lilith......

The cards in Lilith's hand are just like Locke said, three sixes, a five-card ten-to-point line, and a little interesting is that she also has a single Xiao Wang. Three sixes with a little Wang, everyone can think about it, if I don't want it, she just comes out of a five-card connection. Even at this time, Locke's bomb is useless, because even if Lilith holds it in his hand, Locke's nothing is useless, and I can kill him. You can't afford to hurt three twos and a big meow, if I wasn't in a hurry to use three twos, we would have won this game!

"It's okay...... I'm worried about what the three sixes bring, the rules of these five connections, I'm still counting, Yuhang brother, you smashed it, I'm also sixty...... Xiao Locke, you are picking it this time, obviously the second and the king are in the hands of me and Yuhang's younger brother, and you dare to call the landlord. However, the brutal alligator did not come. If only it could end in peace......

As the saying goes, if you win, you don't shuffle the cards, and no one buries you when you die. Depressed watched Locke shuffle the cards, but in the end, Lilith said a declaration that no matter how she thought about it, she would set up a flag.

Then, as if as an opportunity, a slight wave began somewhere in the lake.

In terms of size, it's about the same size as the average crocodile on Earth.

However, it is a monster after all. It's still a little different from the short-billed crocodiles on Earth.

"Jade, Jade Hangni——! Something seems to have come over! Now, there's a lot of stuff coming here!"

It seems that the crocodiles in this world also seem to act in groups.

-- Two hours after the purification began --

At first, Ah Zhenta soaked in the water, but while maintaining the recovery of MP, he chanted the purification magic, so that he would not be too tired for a long time. But now, probably wanting to end the purification as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible, he began to chant purification magic at a frenzied high speed. It's really worthy of Ah Zhen, and the MP is really high......

「『Purification』!『 Purification』『Purification』——!」

A large group of crocodiles surrounded the steel cage containing Ah Zhen and gnawed hard......

「『purification』!『 purification』——! The cage is chirping! The cage is quacking! The cage, the cage makes strange noises! 『purification』! 『purification』——!」

Ah Zhen screamed in the cage, but in this situation, he did not forget to chant the purification magic, so that he could not use the "Seven Days Explosion" to blow them all away, because the cage would lose money if it broke...... I'm actually a little at a loss.

"Ah Zhen——! If you want to give up, just say it——! If you give up, we'll pull the chain and drag you along with the cage to escape——!

I've been yelling at the cage for a while now, but Ah Zhen persists despite his fears, but he doesn't give up on the mission.

"I—I don't want it! Giving up at such a time is a waste of this time, and most importantly! Wouldn't you get paid for it?! 『Purification』! 『Purification』——! …… Wow, wow, ah——!h I just snapped! The cage just made a noise that it shouldn't have made!"

Ah Zhen kept screaming, and the brutal alligators who surrounded him didn't even glance at the three of us.

Looking at the situation over there, Lilith muttered a little.

「…… I think I'll be happy to stay in that cage...... No! It's not that I want to stay inside! I mean Pete, if it were Pete, I'd hope so. Anyway, let's just watch Ah Zhen being besieged by the brutal alligator, is it really okay?!"

Lilith said something that someone would want to stay in the cage, causing me and Locke, who had been caught up in her speech, to nod.

"Lilith, you know Pete a lot......" Ah Zhen, I really didn't think of a way, but I couldn't help but complain about Pete's matter.

"yes.,Anyway, it's also a childhood sweetheart...... That's right! How about we attract the brutal alligator one by one? Come and practice and wait."

"It should be no problem, Locke, you stay honest with me, you have a 'Seven Days Explosion' so the short-beaked crocodiles are all attracted to it!" I screamed to stop Locke, who was excited as soon as he heard the practice.

That's all—

-- About five hours after the purification began --

With a "Seven Days Explosion" explosion, the purification was declared complete, and the brutal alligators retreated. What was left was the battered but intact cage that had been gnawed by the brutal alligator. It's really nice that the damage didn't go beyond the limit and didn't have to lose money......

Locke fell without regret, and he couldn't hear Ah Zhen chanting purifying magic.

「…… Hey, Ah Zhen, are you alright? The lake has been purified, and the brutal alligators have all gone somewhere else."

We approached the cage and spied on Ah Zhen's condition in the cage.

「…… Choke...... Woo...... Hiccup......"

Since I'm so scared that I hugged my knees and cried like a cat, wouldn't it be better to give up the task early......

"Well, now that the purification is complete, let's go back. We've all agreed, and we're not going to get paid this time. The 300,000 are all yours."

Hearing that the 300,000 were all his, Ah Zhen, who was holding his legs and burying his face between his knees, twitched his shoulders.

However, he still didn't look like he was going to come out of the cage at all.

「…… Hey, it's almost time for you to get out of the cage, we should go back."

「…… ...... directly."

Hearing me say this, Ah Zhen seemed to whisper something.

…………?

"What did he say?" I asked Locke. Because he has longer ears in the team......

「…… He said that the world outside the cage was so scary, it would be nice to just bring him back to town like this."

…… It seems that this mission has left a deep wound in Ah Zhen's heart. Not really, right?

That's all—

"Ugh...... Hey, Ah Zhen, you're so attention-grabbing~! Don't sing that song again. Just dragging a caged cage with holes in and a blank boy sitting in it with his knees crossed is enough to attract attention. I think it's safe to get back to town, so you should come out."

"Don't. This is my sanctuary. The outside world is so scary, I don't want to go out."

Nested in a cage, Ah Zhen who refuses to come out of the cocoon. We who have completed their mission and returned to the town are heading to the guild under the watchful eyes of the townspeople.

However, although one person had more psychological trauma this time, there was no damage worth mentioning otherwise. With Lilith here, she will rush to dispose of the short-billed crocodile corpse that I cooperated with her to kill alone, and Locke finally got his wish and gave the short-billed alligator group a 'seven-day explosion' that was not retaliated by the short-billed crocodile group who were busy retreating. I also got one star up.

The whole mission went smoothly and perfectly, and it was so rare to be able to complete the task so easily without encountering any unexpected incidents......

I don't know if it's because I came up with such a flag-like idea. As a result, such an inexplicable guy suddenly jumped out of the street......
