Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

"There's an incredibly powerful archdeacon in their church. I went into hiding, but she still found me and caught me on the spot..."

"Hehe, this just goes to show how much my followers adore me! A mere Alice would never have such devout followers!"

"Hey, it's inappropriate for you to say that about Goddess Alice. At least I have a very devout faith in her..."

Aqua ignored Darkness’s objection, proudly raised her tail, and dissed her junior at the same time.

The archdeacon of the Akusis religion is naturally a priest. The stronger the faith in the gods, the more power one can borrow from the gods, and the stronger one will become.

If even the deputy bishop is so strong, the bishop must be even stronger, which means that they are very devout in their faith in Aqua.

"Then how did you come back?"

“Darkness brought us back.”

Darkness looked over and smiled sheepishly as she spoke.

What are you embarrassed about?

"Isn't that the end of it? Let's go home. Go to the hot springs. I've already taken one."

"It's not over yet, Boss. The key point is what comes after this..."

Kazuma swallowed and pulled Aqua over to block him.

"That hot spring was run by a church. We ruined their business, so we are being asked to pay compensation."

He hid behind Aqua, avoiding her murderous gaze, and continued speaking.

"That hot spring has been decontaminated so thoroughly that it's probably unusable for the next ten years. Initially, they asked for 2 billion. After my tireless efforts and long struggle, they finally settled on 300 million. I had no choice but to say, 'My boss has plenty of money... Boss, don't do anything. Let's talk it over!"

Jiang Li was furious and kicked him!

Damn it, Wiz cheated me, and now you cheat me too!

Wiz is my wife, do you want to give me your wife too?

Aqua screamed. Jiang Li's fist had left a deep psychological shadow on her, but after a while, she didn't feel any pain on her body. Instead, she saw Kazuma fall to the ground with a thud.

Kazuma was completely bewildered, he hadn't realized what was happening yet.

Is this the value of a swordsman trained in a failed world?

“Ahahahaha! Kazuma, you’ve come to this day…”

"Duang!"

Aqua fell to the ground with a thud.

"What are you laughing at? You're also wrong!"

Jiang Li glared at the back of Aqua's head.

"That's right, Aqua is the main culprit. She was the one who purified the hot springs!"

He Zhen nodded repeatedly, I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die!

"But, but! That hot spring water is truly problematic! If we soak in it, something bad will definitely happen! How could I allow that to happen to my lovely believers? Furthermore, even if something were to happen to a guest, it would damage the reputation of the Axis Cult!"

Aqua covered her head and defended herself with a look of grievance.

“No, the Axis Cult doesn’t have a good reputation to begin with. It’s actually quite bad…”

Chapter 885 The Demon King’s Army Has a Conspiracy

2023-06-01

"This must be a conspiracy by the Alice believers!"

Aqua jumped up hurriedly and shouted righteously.

"No, I need my lovely believers to spread this message. It would be best if I could shatter Alice's faith, and then take the opportunity to bring all the believers with shattered faith under my command!"

Thinking of this, Aqua rushed out the door with full motivation.

"Stop it! You're throwing mud at me without even investigating? You're just trying to use this opportunity to badmouth Alice's followers! Don't do anything disrespectful to the goddess!"

Darkness quickly hugged her waist tightly, not letting her leave the hotel.

“Darkness’s faith in the goddess Alice is surprisingly devout.”

Megumin looked at her in surprise. She had never seen Darkness with that expression before.

"After all, he's a Crusader, and his faith is also connected to his work."

Kazuma nodded in agreement.

Like the Crusader and the Priest, they are both professions that only believers can become. One focuses on martial arts and the other focuses on magic, just like the Swordsman and the Magician. The difference is that the Crusader and the Priest both possess divine powers, while the Swordsman and the Magician do not.

Of course, Darkness had put all her skills into defense, without any attack skills, so she had almost no holy power, and only had maxed out her endurance.

“Darkness, please let me go. This must be Alice’s conspiracy!”

"You've escalated the situation again, instantly elevating her from a believer to a goddess! Stop your slanderous words. If you ask me, it's more plausible to say this is a conspiracy by the Demon King's army!"

Aqua and Darkness wrestled with each other, sending dust flying everywhere.

“What nonsense are you talking about, Darkness? There’s no way the Demon King’s army is taking action here, right, Boss?”

Kazuma was amused.

The boss of the Demon King's army is here enjoying the hot springs. Who dares to come here and cause trouble? Wouldn't that be like challenging the boss and wanting to die?

"..."

Jiang Li didn't say anything.

"...Boss, why don't you say something? I'm a little unsure!"

Kazuma was immediately frightened and spoke tremblingly.

"This... well, it's not easy for me to explain."

Jiang Li's tone was vague and he spoke evasively.

"Why don't we go back, Boss."

Kazuma suggested sincerely, "Actually, there's nothing much to do in a hot spring, right?"

"What are you afraid of? I'll take care of everything!"

Jiang Li rolled his eyes and gave Kazuma a look of disdain.

"That's not what I meant, Boss. I meant, weren't the actions here directed by the Demon King?"

Kazuma came closer and said meaningfully.

“I think it’s arbitrary.”

Jiang Li rolled his eyes again.

If the actions here were really ordered by me, why would I come here to take a hot spring bath?

And brought you bunch of scumbags with you?

"That's okay, come on, boss!"

Kazuma immediately breathed a sigh of relief and smiled peacefully.

The boss will take care of the problems and I will take the benefits!

"what are you guys saying?"

Huihui looked at the two of them suspiciously, always feeling that there was something big between them.

"Don't mind yourselves, kid!"

"I'm going to be an adult soon, stop looking down on me!"

Huihui immediately got angry and started arguing with Kazuma.

At present, it is very likely that Hans's arbitrary decision was made in the action in Alcanretia, and the so-called secret mission should refer to this matter.

The Demon King's army had suffered losses here before, and they suffered heavy losses at the hands of the Axis Cult. It was no surprise that Hans had a grudge against the Axis Cult.

"Aqua, what's wrong with that hot spring run by the church?"

Jiang Li walked forward and separated Aqua and Darkness, intending to ask more detailed questions.

"Poisoned!"

Aqua was held in Jiang Li's hand. She was afraid of being beaten, so she immediately answered Jiang Li's question.

"If you soak in that kind of hot spring, at the very least you'll develop skin rashes or other skin problems, and at worst you could even become weak and die!"

"scare!"

She suddenly reached out and pawed at Darkness, who was being held on the other side.

Are you a cat?

"It seems that this is correct."

Jiang Li let the two of them go and let them continue to fight as if no one was around.

"What do you mean?"

Huihui looked over curiously and saw the winged kitten lying on her straight chest.

"This is the work of Deathly Poison Slime Hans, one of the Demon King's army cadres. He can concoct all kinds of poisons. He must have poisoned the hot springs in the church!"

"So sure?"

Huihui looked at Jiang Li suspiciously. Why could they conclude that it was done by the Demon King's army just based on poison?

This person is indeed——

"Actually, I ran into Hans when I was taking a hot spring bath just now."

Jiang Li said seriously.

"I heard he was going to attack the hot springs in the city, of course I was sure!"

"So it's just reverse push!"

Huihui rolled her eyes and asked, "Why are you pretending to be a serious detective solving a case?"

"However, he said he was going to attack the hot springs. But there are so many hot springs in the city. Which one would he target?"

There are at least hundreds of hot springs here, of varying sizes. If we were to search for them one by one, by the time we find the person, all the hot springs in this city would probably be gone!

“Darkness, come here!”

Jiang Li waved his hand and called the summoned beast Darkness over.

"what's up?"

"Take my badge and go to the guild in this city to gather some information. It's likely that more than just the Axis Cult's hot springs have been poisoned."

"Badge, let me play with it!"

As soon as Aqua heard the badge appear, she rushed over with green eyes.

Jiang Li took a step forward and stomped Aqua mercilessly under his feet, then handed the royal emblem to Darkness.

"I understand. I'll go right away!"

Darkness respectfully accepted the badge and headed towards the guild branch.

The guilds in this world were established under the auspices of the state, with their headquarters in the royal capital and branches in every city, which greatly accelerated the flow of information.

“Kazuma, Megumin, Aqua, go out and investigate. Visit the hot spring shops and see if there’s a muscular, brown-haired middle-aged man hanging around there!”

"Why? I was just about to go take a hot spring bath. Hehehe, the long-awaited mixed bath!"

"Yeah, at least wait until we've had a hot spring bath!"

Megumin and Aqua both echoed Kazuma's opinion.

"Three hundred million."

Jiang Li said expressionlessly.

"I'll be right there. I love working!"
