This knight's sword was taken from the royal palace. The royal palace has quite a few good things. If it weren't for the limited number of items and the fact that there weren't many things that were actually useful to Roya, Roya would definitely have taken a few.
As you can see, the knight's sword was incredibly sharp. The sword itself hadn't received any enhancement from Roya, yet even so, Roya was able to kill the demon wolf with ease, which was enough to prove its sharpness.
Roya's gaze lingered briefly on the wolf's corpse lying on the ground before quickly shifting away to look directly at Kazuma.
The situation over there is terrible. That idiot Aqua has made a hole in the ranch fence, and it is this small but significant gap that has given these monsters an opportunity to escape.
The wolf was quite large, and it couldn't squeeze through such a small hole. But it was precisely because of this gap that the originally sturdy fence became less reliable.
Moreover, even with the fence, these cunning magical beasts have more than one way to go.
One of the monsters escaped and ran towards the farm.
Roya frowned, sensing that things were getting worse.
He had successfully controlled five demon wolves on his own, but it was clear that he couldn't deal with the remaining four.
However, before Roya could make any move, Aqua's voice came from the other side: "Megumin, quickly cast the Explosion Magic!"
"But, is that possible?"
"There are no buts. The pack of wolves is about to come in. Do you really expect He Zhen to fight four of them by himself? Let's take care of them quickly while they're outside."
Roya's lips twitched. He knew Huihui's Explosion Magic better than anyone. If the Explosion Magic had been cast from the beginning, the only thing affected would have been the forest.
But that position.
In his mind, Luo Ya had already sentenced the three of them to death.
"O pitch blacker than black, merge with my crimson! The time for awakening has come. Fall into the realm of nothingness, form an invisible distortion, appear!"
Huihui's slightly flustered voice echoed through the noisy farm, but for some reason, Luo Ya could detect a hint of excitement and agitation in her voice.
Because the place was in such a chaotic state, even with Roya's hearing, he couldn't hear very clearly. However, Roya was certain that the other party was excited about something.
The noise was a jumbled mess, interspersed with Aqua's wailing and howling, but it was clear that they were genuinely trying.
"Eplosion!"
As Megumin finished reciting her last line, the magic in the air began to fluctuate noticeably, the atmosphere trembled, and an energy, mediated by Megumin's staff, began to emanate from the farm.
The layers of magic circles that unfolded in mid-air suddenly flashed with intense light.
The violent power relentlessly swept across everything on the ground.
A wave of scorching heat hit Roya's face, and a burning, restless feeling filled the air.
A deafening roar echoed throughout the ranch.
Everything in sight turned to dust.
The monsters didn't even let out a howl before turning into charred corpses.
Of course, this includes nearly half of the farms.
The farm was quite large, but at this moment, it had become a complete mess.
"Hahahaha!"
Huihui, who had been hiding in the shadows, let out a wild laugh. As the dust settled, the girl's figure was revealed.
Aqua's voice came from the other end. That stupid goddess actually praised, "Megumin, that Explosion spell was quite good."
Huihui proudly said, "That's right, Explosion Magic is the most powerful."
However, after saying that, he collapsed to the ground, becoming a complete idiot.
"Magic, the magic is depleted."
Both idiots were immersed in joy, while only Roya and Sato Kazuma remained silent.
Luo Ya first glanced at the farm's location. Most of the area, from the outer perimeter to the inner perimeter, was completely destroyed. Almost a third of the buildings were destroyed, and only a small part of the fence remained, enclosing the cattle and sheep.
The cattle and sheep had already been disturbed by the commotion and were desperately ramming against the fence. Fortunately, the fence was sturdy enough that even though the cattle and sheep were going crazy, they couldn't break through it for a while.
Once the dust settled, the herd of cattle and sheep calmed down a bit.
You could say Huihui did have some sense of propriety, right? At least the cattle and sheep were unharmed.
But given the current situation, compensation is definitely required, right?
Luo Ya wanted to sigh a little. Of course, he couldn't be the only one to take the blame for the team's debts this time. Everyone had to pay back the money; that was a must.
Roya approached the beaming Aqua and Megumin, grabbed Megumin by the collar, glanced at the somewhat bewildered Kazuma Sato, and said expressionlessly to the group, "Let's go, let's go to the guild and see how much money they owe this time."
Aqua scratched her head, not quite understanding what Roya meant, while Sato Kazuma's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Huihui was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale.
Luo Ya took in everyone's reactions and sighed.
It seems that Aqua is the only idiot in the team.
----------------------
Adventurer's Guild.
Aqua angrily demanded, "Huh? Why aren't I paid? Didn't I already complete the mission?"
Apart from Aqua shouting and yelling, Kazuma Sato and Megumin remained silent, turning their attention elsewhere.
They had anticipated this outcome.
The saleswoman, Luna, glanced at the young man standing silently to the side.
She had already guessed the young man's identity. Actually, it was quite simple. At this point in time, the only person who would team up with Sato Kazuma and Aqua was Roja.
Moreover, the young man's physique hadn't changed much. Although his appearance and distinctive blond hair had been altered, the familiar feeling he exuded made Luna recognize him quickly.
At this moment, Luna's face showed a troubled expression. Aqua, standing to the side, was making a scene and even started grabbing Luna's arm and shaking her violently. The goddess was trying to get justice for herself in her own way.
Chapter 313 Darkness's Joining
However, this approach had little effect; a mistake is a mistake, and it wouldn't change because of Aqua's outburst.
Luna could only force a laugh and look at Roya with pleading eyes.
Roya said helplessly, "Aqua, don't be like this. This happened because of you."
"What do you mean by 'our reasons'? I risked my life to complete this mission, and that damned wolf even bit my arm. And you're telling me I won't get paid? Are you kidding me?"
Luo Ya, somewhat speechless, said to Luna, "Just tell me what happened."
Luna scratched a strand of hair by her ear, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Well, let me be frank. The reason you haven't received your payment is because the client's ranch was destroyed, causing greater damage than the wolf attack. So the guild has already returned your payment to the client as compensation. In addition, you must also repay 15 million Eris for the loss."
"What? Fifteen million?"
Aqua stared blankly, her expression becoming completely stiff.
Not only Aqua, but Kazuma and Megumin, who were standing to the side, were also extremely stiff. Megumin even silently retreated behind Kazuma, ready to slip away at any moment.
However, the next moment a merciless iron hand gripped Huihui's collar tightly, and Roya's voice came softly in her ear: "Huihui, don't even think about running away. You caused all of this."
"What? What do you mean I caused this? Don't you bear any responsibility at all? Don't try to pin all the blame on me."
Just as the three were about to get into a fight, Luo Ya's calm voice came from behind them.
"You have no objection to splitting the debt equally, right?"
Aqua wanted to say something, but when she met Roya's gaze, the goddess shrank back and dared not utter a sound.
Seeing the three people's reactions, Roya nodded and said, "Then let's leave it at that."
The three's debts rose another level, reaching a staggering 30 million Eris in total.
Perhaps because they had incurred such a large debt for no reason, everyone became listless and looked somewhat sickly.
Seeing that everyone wasn't very enthusiastic, Luo Ya didn't mention any more missions. Instead, he told everyone to get lost and remember to come to the meeting place tomorrow so he could find another front-line unit.
Everyone agreed that the team could be expanded. The team was already quite large, but it did lack a warrior-like class. If Roya could find a qualified warrior, it would make up for the lack of a front-line tank.
Strictly speaking, the lack of a front row was the reason that this series of tragedies occurred.
Kazuma is a roaming support type, and Aqua can't withstand him head-on at all. Even if Roya goes to divide the battlefield, the remaining few demon wolves are enough to give everyone a hard time.
This time, the three of them only need to reflect a little when they get back to know where the problem lies.
Therefore, everyone had no objection to Roya's decision; on the contrary, they strongly agreed with it.
Since there were no objections, Luo Ya simply waved everyone away.
So, the rest of the time was spent sitting in the Adventurers' Guild, quietly waiting for that masochistic knight to appear.
As usual, Roya sat in the guild chair. The young man ordered a pot of wine and sat alone in the chair, waiting somewhat lazily for the target to appear.
The recruitment requirements have been sent out, and now it's just a matter of waiting for the other party to show up so that they can be invited to join.
The bounty board now includes a recruitment quest from Roya for his adventure team.
"Recruiting teammates, with preference given to those of higher ranks. Requirements: front-line, knight, with considerable stamina. Meeting place: first floor of the Adventurers' Guild. Person in charge: Pamela."
The three idiots weren't here, and Luo Ya was too lazy to hide it, so he simply waited right there for that masochist.
The wait wasn't long. Soon, Roya saw the blonde knight in heavy armor appear beside the bounty board. The girl looked around and then quickly went to the task list Roya had posted. She stared at the contents for a few moments, then peeled it off, looked around, and quickly locked her gaze on Roya.
After hesitating for a moment, the young woman walked toward where Roya was.
