Chapter 353 Hot Spring Trip
"I said, I've already taken care of General Winter." Shi Chen looked at Chris, who was still slumped over the table, and emphasized with a smile.
"Are you serious?" Chris asked, stunned.
Why would I lie to you?
"How did you do that?"
"If you want to do it, you can do it."
"You're trying to fool me again! Why didn't you explain things clearly to me when you got to my place?" Chris said unhappily.
"Get up first, the mat is going to be flattened."
"Go to hell!" Chris said, his face flushed, as he got up and sat back down.
"It really looks flat."
"How could this be..." Chris said, but he still looked down and saw no change at all.
"Can you please stop talking about this?" Chris sighed helplessly.
"Okay, okay, I'll tease you again next time."
"next time?"
"Don't do that. Are you free these next couple of days?"
"What do you want to do?" Chris asked warily.
"Aqua and I are planning to go to a hot spring. You can come with us!"
"With Aqua-senpai... never mind." Chris's expression changed, and he shook his head in refusal.
"Are you that afraid of her?"
"No, I just have something important to do."
"Okay, let's assume you have something to say."
"That's exactly right!"
"What exactly is it? Are you sure you don't need my help?"
"No need, I can handle it myself. You should go have fun with Aqua-senpai and the others."
"Sigh, fine then." Shi Chen shook his head.
He knew that Chris wasn't looking down on his abilities, but rather genuinely didn't want his help.
She does indeed like to shoulder everything alone.
"Why are you sighing? Are you so eager to help me? Why?" Chris asked, puzzled.
"You're a goddess, is it any problem for me to help you?"
"You know I'm a goddess? You have no respect for me at all." Chris pouted, annoyed.
"This goddess is not that goddess."
"What do you mean?"
"It's simple, because you're cute."
"Me? Cute?" Chris paused for a moment, then became embarrassed.
It seems no one has ever said that about her before?
"Of course, I swear to God."
"There's no need... Do you really think so? I have scars on my face."
"What's the big deal? It doesn't affect anything."
"Is that so...?"
"Are you sure you don't need my help?"
"Never mind, I can handle this myself."
"Okay, but remember to tell me if you encounter any difficulties, and I'll help you."
"Why are you being so nice to me?"
"Didn't I just say it? Because you're cute."
"you.
.
"Alright, I'll head back now. See you next time." Shi Chen stood up and left the guild without hesitation.
Chris stared blankly as he disappeared. After a while, she realized that she had forgotten to ask him how he got to the realm of gods.
He fooled this guy again, but he's still cute...
Three days later, Shichen and Aqua and the others were all ready to set off for the holy city of Alcanreti.
It is known as the city of water and hot springs.
Since Shichen had never been there before, he could only go by carriage with everyone else.
Youyou and Huihui have been there, but one doesn't have enough skill points to learn spatial teleportation, and the other has no chance of learning it.
If you take a horse-drawn carriage, it might take a day and a half. It's better to take the carriage in the morning, as you only need to camp out in the wild for one night.
They didn't mind the long journey, as it provided ample time to enjoy the scenery along the way.
For adventurers, being hired as a guard by a caravan is the best option, since they can ride in the carriage for free.
But this trip is for fun, and I'm not short of money, so it's definitely more appropriate for me to be a regular passenger.
Shichen even chose the most expensive carriage, but it only had five seats.
This was just right, because there were six of them.
Kazuma Sato isn't here; he's still in a state of self-isolation.
"What do we do with only five seats available?" Youyou asked, noticing the situation inside the carriage.
"It's very simple."
When Shichen fell asleep, he first got into the carriage, then lifted Frilian into the carriage and placed her on his lap.
Frillie didn't mind and obediently sat on his lap, took out a comic book, and started reading.
"To be treated like a child in front of everyone...it must be so embarrassing, I'm so envious..." Darkness watched with envy.
Shi Chen ignored her and said, "Alright, come on up."
"No, I don't agree!" Huihui shouted.
"What's wrong?"
"Why should Frilian be allowed to sit on your lap? You're affecting us."
"How will this affect you?"
"It affects our mood!"
"Isn't it because there aren't enough seats?"
"Shouldn't I be the one to sit? I'm so petite, it won't be uncomfortable for you to sit on my lap."
"Huihui, just say you want to sit on Shichen's lap," Youyou bluntly pointed out.
"No, no! I was just thinking of Frillie; maybe she wouldn't agree."
"I don't care," Frilian replied softly without looking up.
"Shichen, I want to sit on your lap too," Aqua said coquettishly.
What's the rush? The journey is so long, why don't you take turns coming?
"You said it!" Aqua happily got into the carriage and sat next to him.
"Time, can I...can I do it too?" Youyou asked shyly.
"certainly."
"Okay!" Youyou happily got into the carriage and sat on the other side of the carriage.
"Ah!" Huihui belatedly realized that there was no room next to Shichen.
She could only sit opposite Darkness.
The carriage soon set off, and they began to enjoy the scenery along the way. However, in the dead of winter, there were no rooms available.
It's all white, nothing but white.
There weren't many wild monsters on the road, so the journey was a bit boring. The only time I looked forward to it was during mealtimes, when Shichen would make roasted meat.
Occasionally, Shichen would take Huihui and the others back to the villa because it wasn't convenient outside.
Unlike Frillie, who already possesses magical powers and can transform everything she eats into magic, Huihui and the others don't need any special abilities.
Aqua doesn't need it either; she's a goddess, and goddesses don't need convenience.
Darkness was quite something; she kept going, enjoying the discomfort, and didn't dare to move at all along the way. She only relieved herself at the hotel when she arrived at her destination.
This girl is hopeless. It's a good thing she didn't leak anything halfway through.
After settling into the hotel and waiting for Darkness to have a rest, she emerged looking refreshed. Shichen then took them to explore the holy city of Alcanredia.
"Hmph~ Hmph~" Aqua skipped and jumped happily in time with the passing hours.
She's been like this ever since she got here, as if she's really looking forward to it.
I always feel like I've forgotten something.
Stepping out of the hotel, you can immediately feel the beauty of Alcanretia. It is close to clear lakes and mountains with hot springs. There are canals everywhere, the buildings are all in a blue color scheme, the street scene is very beautiful, and the pedestrians on the street all look full of vitality.
The place gives one a sense of peace and tranquility.
Luna had told Shichen that they had fought a war with the Demon King's minions here before, but after that battle, they never went near this place again, and the word "Demon" from the Demon King's name never appeared again.
One reason is that this town is home to many priests, who are a very difficult profession to deal with for the Demon King's army.
Secondly, this town is blessed by the water goddess, Aqua.
Hmm? Aqua's favor?
Shi Chen paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.
Damn it, isn't this the headquarters of the Axis cult?!
No wonder Aqua was so excited!
"Aqua, you..."
"Welcome to Alcanretia! Are you here for sightseeing? To join the cult? For adventure? Or to be baptized? Oh, and if you're looking for work, be sure to come to the Axis Order! There's a great job out there: just go to other towns and spread the word about how amazing the Axis Cult is, and you can earn money. Plus, there's an extra benefit: anyone who does this job can call themselves an Axis follower! Come on, follow me!"
Suddenly, a woman appeared in front of them, staring at them with a fanatical expression.
It wasn't because of his appearance, but because she felt she could recruit people into the church!
Not only that, in an instant, Shi Chen and his group were surrounded by a group of Axis cultists, each of them with eyes that seemed to glow red, as if they had spotted some kind of prey.
I ran into a large group of Axis cult members as soon as I stepped out. No wonder it's their headquarters!
This is the real reason why the Demon King's army won't appear here: because this town is inhabited by a large number of Axis cultists, and the Demon King's army members have no desire to have anything to do with them.
Even the Demon King's army fears the Axis cultists, which shows how terrifying they are.
