Chapter 209: I'm sorry, you can really do whatever you want with money
At the moment of being touched by Roland's finger, the physical statue was suddenly filled with the luster of life, and in less than a blink of an eye, the goddess Venus regained life.
The power of the Rat Charm can give power to still lifes, such as Roland's previous use of the orange puppet to give real life, but this is still not the best way to use it.
Still lifes given life by the rat charm will, to a certain extent, reproduce their own legends and powers, although they are still limited by the limitation of not being able to surpass the power of the charm itself.
But with Roland's current personality, he was enough to do a lot.
"Who is calling this Goddess...... Wow! The mountain has fallen! β
Ishtar, who had just come back to life, didn't even have time to put on a posture when he saw a fist falling from the sky.
Then, she also instinctively lifted Ma Anna next to her to release the power in it.
Next, in the eyes of Youzhu of Jiuyuan Temple, a ridiculous scene happened.
The void behind Ishtar suddenly cracked, and between the countless cracks, the twinkling stars burst out with infinite and dazzling light.
The concept of Venus is stuffed into a magazine between the condensation and condensation of magic.
"βThe Mountains Shake the Salary of a Star!"
With the roar of Ishtar, a blazing white aurora rose into the sky, a torrent of magic that roared like the sea, formed by high heat, shock, and pressure, imitating the reappearance of the stars, and even the light could engulf the shattering fury of the waves.
They erupted like volcanoes, spewing out like volcanoes, and the serial explosions replaced everything in the witch's vision in a devastating manner, and by the time the aftermath subsided, the fairy-tale magical environment created by the thick darkness around them had not been dispelled, but the giant of the bridge had disappeared without a trace.
If it weren't for the fact that it fell like a light rain, with a black charcoal-like appearance, the rubble that began to weathered at the same time as it fell, and the outside of the hollowed-out viaduct, it would have been as if the other party had never appeared.
In the wisp of white smoke, Yuzhu's body urged her to act, but her mind still could not ease up from the facts in front of her.
"Bridge ......"
She whispered the demon's name in a hoarse voice, but it was clear that there would be no response.
When the Rose Hound, who was also an ace, was taken away, Yuzhu of Kuyuan Temple had never lost her temper like this, because only the bridge was her indispensable hole card.
While the system called Fairy Tale Magic enjoys the advantages of mystery, it also has a corresponding weakness, which is the breaking rules left by the legends that formed them.
Whether it's the oil of the moon or the hound, they all have weaknesses that can be restrained, but the bridge giant is different, it has no weaknesses other than the complete destruction of the golem itself.
Modern weapons, or modern magic, can't do anything with it.
And the few things that are left that can destroy it so easily are simply a handful.
"Is that the conceptual dress that the gods have left to this day? Calling for a goddess to come down or something, this is completely beyond the rules of the modern era. β
Jiuyuan Temple Youzhu cast a cold gaze at Roland, but his tone couldn't help but carry a trace of bitterness.
"It's the worst way to waste this precious thing in magic warfare, even if you use that stone statue as a medium, you still have to pay the price, is it worth it?"
"I'm basically right, and I'm worthy of being a fairy tale witch."
Roland nodded, his face full of approval.
"But you don't have to worry about the price or anything, you're an acquaintance, so you should always give me a discount, right, Ishtar?"
"Roland! It's you again! β
Sitting on the floating Anna, Ishtar wiped the cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead, and his slender jade legs overlapped up and down, although he was a fool in most cases, but in the Jiuyuan Temple, there was a hostile gaze from Youzhu, and Roland who was smiling next to him, Ishtar also probably understood the current situation, and his tone was full of remorse.
"I knew I shouldn't have carved that statue, but it should have been just a statue......
"It's really an outward statement, it's clear that our trading has been very pleasant, isn't it?"
Statues that are given life by the rat charm gain power, but they are also confused by the setting of the legend.
This is especially true when the subject is the goddess Ishtar, the Mistress of Heaven, whose true personality is inherently very bad and dangerous.
But Roland had no such scruples when he restored Ishtar.
Because, this statue was originally made by herself.
At Roland's suggestion, in order to make up for the regret that he did not build a shrine, Ishtar and Rin Tosaka took the initiative to carve a stone statue to commemorate it, so this statue will only point to the Ishtar who knows Roland no matter what.
"Abominable Roland! Don't think you can fool me this time like you did last time! β
Ishtar's beautiful red eyes narrowed, and his tone was full of indignation.
She spread her hands and spread them out in front of Roland.
"This time, at least ten gems will be required, and I will pay for it now!"
Since the bitter lesson of the last time, Ishtar no longer dares to believe any of Roland's rhetoric, and it is more reliable to pay as you go.
In this cold world, only gems can bring her a trace of warmth.
But considering that Roland himself also has the strength to deal with the kind of attack he had before, Ishtar did not have a lion's mouth.
Based on her past record, she gave a fairly affordable price, she has already conceded so much, if Roland dares to bargain again, she will ...... She'll start messing up next time!
There is no way, for Rin's sake, and he can't beat Roland, this is already the most effective way that the goddess of Venus can think of.
"It makes sense."
But unlike last time, Roland didn't argue, but happily took out ten gems from the shadows and threw them at Ishtar.
Ishtar's eyes lit up, and he burst out with a speed far beyond the panel, took all the gems, put them in the palm of his hand and studied them carefully, confirmed the authenticity before nodding with satisfaction, and then quickly hung them in the interior of his clothes.
Although I don't understand what state it is now, I use Rin's body, but I don't feel the existence of the other party, that is, this is the extra money she earned alone!
This time, for whatever reason, she wouldn't hand over these gems again.
"It looks like we're going to change my prejudice against you a little, although you're a bad guy, you still have some merit, then, we're both clear."
"Wait, that's all there is to it? She's a goddess! β
An untimely voice shattered the harmony between Roland and Ishtar.
Under the momentum of the liberation of the Ishtar treasure before the world, the surrounding puppets were inevitably affected, and thanks to this, Aozaki Aoko was finally relieved and could rush to support her friends.
As a result, when she crossed the white smoke and came to the side of Yuzhu in Kuyuan Temple, Qingzi found that her friend had lost her words.
She knew why.
Without the cover of such eye-catching things as the previous Noble Phantasm and the Giant of the Bridge, the sacred posture on Ishtar's body finally bloomed completely.
The overwhelming, suffocating sense of oppression silently announced that the beautiful existence on the other side was a completely different creature from them.
It is not a superficial difference between races, but a difference in the nature of life that is greater than the tectonic gap between ants and humans.
Even if you don't have the knowledge of a witch's family, even if you don't have any contact with the mysteries, you can understand it when you see Ishtar.
They are the embodiment of miracles that should not exist in the existing world, and only the glorious title of 'God' can show how unattainable they really are, from the beginning to the present.
In order to obtain the gifts of the other party, a variety of sacrifices will gradually arise in various myths, and in order to calm the anger of the other party, there will be a reason for the beginning of each heroic story.
And such a great existence, for ordinary people, if they can borrow the power of the other party, even if they pay for their lives, there are many people, and they can destroy the bridge with beads with one blow, this power is enough to make the magicians of the world flock to it.
But she was actually sent away by ten gems?
Even if ten gems are indeed precious, there is always something wrong with it.
"That's right, it's a goddess, let me introduce you, she is the Ishtar in Sumerian mythology, although this gesture is a degradement, but her power is almost impossible to compare with in the distant gods."
Roland stretched out his hand, looked at Ishtar next to him, and spoke lightly.
"The origin of the Bridge Giant can be traced back thousands of years to the past, this level of mystery is infinitely close to magic, and fairy tale magic can still maintain its full function, most magicians in this world will be defeated by it in the case of head-on combat, including your sister."
"But Ishtar is different, she is one of the best symbols of the splendor of the gods, and her mystery is far greater than that of the giants of the bridge, and her legend is very suitable for dealing with this kind of golem formed by the terrain, if you only rely on the current one, it is impossible to win against her."
Ishtar and Yourong raised their heads proudly, revealing a proud expression, but Roland's next sentence made her face collapse directly.
"If you want to say the only weakness, it is only that she is obviously in love with gems, but she lacks financial luck, no one is worshipping her in modern times, so when facing gems, she will be very talkative."
Ishtar blushed and snorted coldly, but before she could complain, Aoko Aosaki first showed an angry expression.
"But ten gems is too unreasonable! It's too cheap to be a god, so I apologize to the goddesses of the world! β
"For 30,000 yen, I can hire a magician to be my guide, and ten gems is already a fair price."
Roland looked at Aoko Aozaki slowly, and ended the conversation with very lethal words.
"Moreover, it's not that I underestimate you, Qingzi, ten fine gems, did you take them out?"
"Of course, if you sell your property, you can, you can, you can probably take it out......"
Aoko Aosaki, who was poked in the sore spot, still wanted to be hard-mouthed, but when Ishtar's shining eyes looked over, under the pressure of her divine energy, her voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she hung her head in despair.
The Aozaki family is not a landlord like the Tosaka family, or has a legacy of the past generation like the Kuenji family, and her grandfather left Aoko a unique 'magic' in the world.
But that thing can't be realized, otherwise when faced with the living expenses of 30,000 yen per month for the cohabitant, Aoko would not have quickly accepted it after a few complaints and got used to this kind of life.
Looking at the teasing in Roland's eyes, and Ishtar's expression of pity that gradually changed from expectation to 'why is this kid poorer than me', Aoko Aosaki only felt that the string called reason in her head was on the verge of breaking.
"Damn!"
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she stretched out her finger to point at Roland, a look of indignation.
"Don't think you can do whatever you want if you have money!"
"I'm sorry, but it's really possible to do whatever you want with money."
When Aozaki Aoko was broken by these cruel words and had already made up her mind to fight to the death with this cheap brother-in-law, Yuzhu of Kuyuan Temple behind her pressed her hand on her shoulder.
"Wait, Aoko."
For the two who had already confirmed each other's enlightenment, they didn't even need to explain, so Aozaki Aoko stopped her movements and let Kuenji Youzhu control the current situation.
The fairy tale witch took a deep breath, looked at Ishtar, who was looking at her curiously, as if she had seen something interesting, and coldly turned her gaze to Roland.
"What do you want from me?"
