Chapter 25: The Peeper
Coming out of the Tower of Babel, Wei Jun was holding a wooden box with armor in his hand, and a knife of ordinary style was tied to the wooden box.
These things are the harvest of Wei Jun and Xi'er after shopping for more than two hours.
The armor inside the wooden box is a set of light armor with decent defense, and the knife tied to the wooden box is just like it, just a relatively sharp ordinary knife.
Although the equipment is relatively ordinary, Wei Jun will only move within the first layer when he enters the dungeon, and such equipment is more than enough.
As for armor, whether it is heavy armor or light armor, Wei Jun likes it very much. However, with his current strength, such equipment with heavy armor is still too reluctant for him.
Therefore, Wei Jun can only settle for the second best and choose a slightly better quality light armor.
As for the weapon, why Wei Jun chose a knife, not a sword.
Wei Jun can only say that he may have been poisoned by games and anime.
The sword is a double-edged weapon that can hurt others as well as oneself.
The knife is different, as a single-edged weapon, its blade will always only point at the master's enemy.
I remember that Hestia asked Wei Jun a while ago what Wei Jun's ideal weapon would be if he entered the dungeon, and what would the shape of the weapon look like.
Wei Jun did not hesitate to tell Hestia that his favorite weapon was the knife. As for the ideal weapon, Wei Jun took out his phone and pointed to the wallpaper on the screen.
It was the Demon Hell Blood Brake Blade awakened by the DNF Hell Blood Demon God.
Looking back now, there must have been something wrong with Hestia's expression at that time.
*
With the equipment in their hands, Wei Jun and Ciel walked out of the Tower of Babel and strolled through the central square.
"The weapon shop that has been with me for so long must be boring, why don't you change me to accompany you for a good stroll?"
After looking at the time, Wei Jun found that it was only noon, and it was too early to go back.
Xi'er is an empathetic girl, who has been shopping with her for so long in the weapon shop, if she doesn't repay the other party well, this is the rhythm of loneliness!
"Huh? This one...... Forget it. ”
Xi'er was a little moved when she heard this, but after seeing the big box in Wei Jun's hand, she still smiled and shook her head at him.
Seeing this, Wei Jun looked down at the wooden box in his hand, and then smiled at Xi'er and said.
"Do you care about that? It's not too much of a hassle, we can hire a carriage to deliver it......"
As soon as Wei Jun was halfway through his words, his body suddenly trembled. He turned around sharply, as if looking for someone.
Wei Jun, who was looking around, gradually showed nervousness on his face.
Seeing Wei Jun's sudden move, as well as the panicked expression on his face, Xi'er also hurriedly searched carefully.
When there was nothing wrong with the development of the surroundings, Xi'er asked Wei Jun suspiciously.
"Joon, what's wrong?"
Wei Jun still looked around, and replied with a nervous and puzzled expression, "I...... I don't know what's going on, I feel like I'm being targeted by someone, I should ...... It's not a delusion! ”
Walking with a big beauty like Xi'er, Wei Jun received some envious, jealous and hateful glances.
Wei Jun didn't care about such a gaze at all, and he wouldn't have any strange feelings.
To be honest, with Wei Jun's current strength, he won't notice it even if he is targeted.
But now that gaze is different, it is a fiery and unscrupulous gaze, like looking at goods, and the other party has not made any disguise at all.
The moment this gaze converged on Wei Jun, Wei Jun felt a chill down his spine, and reflexively became vigilant around.
"Targeted!?"
Xi'er was slightly stunned, and then immediately became vigilant.
"Could it be...... Is it really my delusion? That's right, the ability map! ”
Suddenly remembering the ability of his golden finger, Wei Jun hurriedly opened the ability map and searched for the owner of this line of sight on it.
Wei Jun's golden finger really didn't disappoint him, and the next second Wei Jun searched, the ability map showed the target location of Wei Jun's search.
Looking towards the place indicated by the ability map, Wei Jun was stunned.
"That's, inside the Tower of Babel!"
Expand, expand!
After adjusting the ability map twice, the floor plan displayed on the ability map immediately becomes a three-dimensional map.
Looking at the projection on the ability map, Wei Jun's pupils constricted. Because the place shown on the map is the top of the Tower of Babel.
"Wait, I think it seems to be ...... Grass!!!! ”
When he guessed the owner of this gaze, Wei Jun felt that his whole person had become bad.
'Damn, why are you staring at yourself, do you say...... Is it because of Cier?
Yes! Ciel was Freya's daughter.
Now her daughter is suddenly shopping with a strange man, and if Freya doesn't react, it's a strange thing! ’
After speculating slightly, Wei Jun felt that he should have guessed eight or nine.
Although Wei Jun is not the incarnation of the Demon King, he can never be a pure person like Bell. There wouldn't be any pure white soul in his body, and Freya had no reason to keep an eye on him.
"Joon, are you alright?!"
Looking at Wei Jun's almost pale face, Xi'er asked with a worried expression.
A little reluctantly smiled at Xi'er, Wei Jun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, maybe it's really my heart that has a delusion."
But it suddenly occurred to me that there was something important, so why don't we go back today. I'll make it up to you next time on a date, can you see it? ”
"I'm okay, but Joon, are you really okay?"
"It's really okay, let's go back first."
Wei Jun didn't think that his little caution could hide from Xi'er, but he didn't dare to explain, and he didn't dare to set his eyes on the position at the top of the Tower of Babel.
On the way back to the tavern with Xi'er, after feeling the chill behind him gradually disappear, Wei Jun couldn't help but evoke a self-deprecating smile while giving a sigh of relief.
This is the original sin of weakness, before he has enough strength, Wei Jun does not dare to provoke Freya, all he can do is patience and retreat.
Seeing this, Xi'er on the side frowned, and looked at the location of the Tower of Babel without leaving a trace.
With the carriage moving quickly, the two soon returned to the tavern.
After getting out of the carriage, Wei Jun entered the tavern with Xi'er with his equipment, threw the wooden box aside, and sat down on the chair limply.
Seeing the girls who cast surprised and puzzled glances at him and Xi'er, as well as Aunt Mia with a dissatisfied face, Wei Jun couldn't help but smile and sighed in his heart.
"Sure enough, it's still a sense of security at home."
The girls who were working saw the two people coming back and asked very suspiciously.
"Didn't you two go out on a date, why did you come back so soon?"
In the early morning, the girls found that Xi'er was carefully dressed up and went out with Wei Jun, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be the date time for the two.
"Joon, everyone, I'll be back!"
Wei Jun and Ci'er were about to open their mouths to explain something, when everyone heard Hestia's voice coming from outside the door.
Hestia jumped out of a carriage with an excited face, and waved and smiled at everyone in the room.
Then Hestia pointed to the tavern to the people in the carriage and said, "That's it, please help me move my things." ”
As soon as Hestia finished speaking, a man and a woman dressed as two blacksmiths in the carriage also stepped out of the carriage.
I saw the two of them, under the command of Hestia, carrying a delicate-looking wooden box from the carriage with a difficult face.
Judging from the struggling appearance of the two of them, the weight of the contents in the box must not be light.
After removing the wooden box from the carriage, the two blacksmiths of the Hephaestus clan refused Hestia's offer.
With Hestia's sincere thanks, he left in a hurry.
Wei Jun and the girls also walked over after seeing Hestia return.
"Joon, long time no see, I really miss me."
As soon as Wei Jun walked over, Hestia gave Wei Jun a big hug.
Catching Hestia who flew over, Wei Jun mercilessly gave her a brain breakdown, and said very dissatisfied.
"Really! Why did you leave without saying a word a few days ago, go to a friend and talk to me in advance. ”
"Wow!"
Hestia covered her little head, and didn't suggest it, and laughed stupidly.
Rubbing the place that was knocked slightly by Wei Jun, Hestia smiled and pulled Wei Jun to the wooden box.
"There's a reason I'm doing it! Joon, come and take a look, it's a big surprise I've got for you! ”
Wei Jun looked helplessly at the small wooden box in front of him and asked, "Surprise?!" You can't have been out for so many days for this thing. ”
"Uh-huh! Joon is guaranteed to be amazed! ”
Hestia held up her proud chest, looked at Wei Jun with seven points of confidence on her face, and three points of expectation.
Then he squatted on the spot and urged Wei Jun.
"Open it and take a look. Hurry, hurry, hurry! ”
Wei Jun looked at Hestia amusedly, "Got it, can't I open it for you?" ”
As he spoke, Wei Jun leaned down and opened the wooden box like a sword gate under the curious eyes of the girls.
"Huh!?"
When Wei Jun saw the contents of the wooden box, he was instantly stunned.
Inside the wooden box was a pitch-black knife tucked away in a scabbard.
Surprisingly, this weapon with a pitch-black handle and scabbard is no exception.
This weapon is about one meter and two meters long, and the back of the knife is covered with uneven black prismatic barbs of different sizes.
Not only that, but the blade is also engraved with intricate marks.
The appearance of the knife in front of him, Wei Jun can be said to be very familiar.
He never imagined that he was just casually saying that Hestia had actually gotten himself a 'Bloody Hell Demon Blade'.
Looking at the knife in front of him, Wei Jun was both surprised and emotional.
For a moment, Wei Jun's face was full of complexity.
When his right hand stroked the blade, the knife in front of him turned out to glow with a pale blue-purple luster.
This sense of sacredness like a work of art of the gods, and the beauty of the shape as a weapon, steal everyone's attention in a matter of seconds.
"Wait! This knife...... I said, "You didn't go to Hephaestus and kneel for days and nights and beg her for help in making this knife?" ”
Looking at the astonishing scene in front of him, and the kinship that began to emanate from the knife, Wei Jun looked at Hestia in surprise.
After Wei Jun looked down and saw Hestia's reddish knees, as well as the sacred words on the knife, Wei Jun confirmed his conjecture.
Isn't the dagger of the main character of the anime the weapon of the protagonist Bell made by Hestias for Hephaestus!
Hearing Wei Jun's words, the surrounding girls also looked at Hestia with a look of surprise.
Faced with Wei Jun's question, Hestia turned her face away, smiled shyly and embarrassedly, and didn't know how to answer Wei Jun.
"Damn, are you a fool!"
Seeing Hestia, who did not deny it, clutching the knife in his hand, Wei Jun couldn't help but scold.
"Our family is not short of money, what kind of weapons do you want, do you need to beg others!!"
To say that a girl is willing to do this for you, it is false that Wei Jun is not moved. But to Wei Jun, he was moved by a burst of anger.
"Hey!!! This ......"
Hestia never thought that what he had worked so hard for was Wei Jun's scolding.
Looking at Hestia's panicked and aggrieved look, Wei Jun sighed faintly.
Leaning down in front of Hestia, Wei Jun reached out and gently touched Hestia's reddish knee, and asked with a complicated expression.
"Does it hurt?"
"Huh?! No, it won't! ”
Seeing Wei Jun's appearance, Hestia also reacted, and stubbornly shook his head at Wei Jun and smiled.
But in the next second, Hestia gradually showed a lost expression on his face, and asked Wei Jun.
"Joon, do you think I'm very useless?"
"Huh?! Why do you think so. ”
"Because Joon wants to enter such a dangerous dungeon, even Ah Jian and Mi He can help Joon, but I, as Joon's main god, can't do anything.
I don't have Joon as good at making money, and I don't like Xi'er and they are as good at greeting Joon. Every time Jun comes back in tatters, I can't do anything but drugged you. ”
Hestia lowered her little head and whispered, "Isn't it useless for me to be like a rice worm?" ”
Looking at Hestia with a lost face, Wei Jun smiled and said, "Maybe it's really what you said." ”
Hearing Wei Jun's words, Hestia's eyes dimmed even more. Even the girls around them looked at Wei Jun with a hellish look.
Wei Jun stood up, rubbed Hestia's little head, and said with a doting smile.
"Don't be cranky anymore, because no matter what kind of person (God) you are, no matter what people say about you or what they think of you, you will always be my most beloved Lord God, my family, and this will never change.
Even if you are really a rice worm, I will raise you as a rice worm for nothing, this is my promise to you. ”
Wei Jun was stupid and would not be comforting, but Hestia was still touched by Wei Jun's words.
Raising his head, Hestia's look of loss turned to surprise.
"Really! Joon won't dislike me for being a clumsy and useless god?! ”
"Yes, really!"
"Really?"
"It's really true!"
"Really, really, really?"
"Yes! Really, really, really, really, I promise! ”
"Wow! Great, Joon! ”
Hestia jumped into Wei Jun's arms and shouted excitedly, and two lines of excited tears involuntarily shed from the corners of his eyes.
Wei Jun also patted Hestia's smooth back and smiled.
"Really, why are you so insecure, do I dislike you.
But I really want to thank you for the weapon, thank you for bringing me a perfect weapon. ”
Seeing this, the surrounding girls glanced at each other and showed sweet smiles.
And Wei Jun, who was holding Hestia, suddenly saw Hestia's skirt pocket, revealing most of the strange paper.
Puzzled, he picked up the piece of paper that was about to fall out of Hestia's pocket.
However, as soon as Wei Jun made a move, Hestia seemed to sense something and jumped up from Wei Jun in shock.
"Ahh Joon, no, give it back to me! ”
Hestia looked anxious to retrieve the paper from his hand, and Wei Jun became even more curious.
Wei Jun, who wanted to find out, grabbed Hestia with his left hand, stretched out his right hand and shook the note in his hand.
In an instant, the content on the note was presented in front of Wei Jun.
"Ah!! Joon, don't look at it, really don't look at it!!! ”
At this point, Hestia hurriedly covered Wei Jun's eyes, wanting to die and struggle.
But it was only a split second, and Wei Jun still saw the general content on the paper clearly.
The two large letters of the IOU stand prominently at the top of the paper, and the debtor is Hestia, and Hestia owes the money to her friend, Hephaestus.
The most important thing is that the series of zeros on the IOU almost blinded Wei Jun's eyes.
What kind of surprise is this, such a special is a fright!!!
