I, Asuna, don't want to travel around the world

If you get that kind of stuff on your body, people will definitely misunderstand you!

If someone is accidentally swallowed by the giant frog...

Even if someone rescues him afterwards, he will probably end up being socially dead!

"Forget it. This is my first expedition after all. I'll just use a little more force and use the stones to get rid of them."

Asuna clenched her fists, then looked around, trying to find some usable stones to get rid of those giant frogs through long-range attacks.

However, this plain has always been a place frequented by giant frogs. Even if there were stones, they would have long been pressed into the soil by their amazing weight, and no large stones could be found at all.

"Hey, Chris, lend me your dagger and knife!"

Suddenly, Asuna's eyes lit up, and she instantly took the weapons in Chris's hands and at his waist.

"Hey, Asuna, wait..."

"Shh!"

Before Chris could finish his words, a sound of breaking air was heard, and a silver lightning suddenly appeared beside him and shot towards the giant frog in the distance.

“Quack~…”

In the distance, a giant frog suddenly spurted out a large amount of blood from its head. It was originally screaming happily, but then its voice changed, as if someone was pinching its throat. In the end, it could no longer scream and fell to the ground.

“Eh?! Eh?!

Was that my short knife just now? !”

Chris was a little flustered.

It seemed that it was not a product from a roadside stall, but some kind of priceless treasure.

"Yes, the quality is very good. If you have the chance, take me to buy one."

As she spoke, Asuna weighed the dagger in her hand and threw it out fiercely.

"Wait……"

Chris wanted to stop it, but it was too late...

Seeing the other giant frog fall to the ground, Chris seemed to have suffered a major blow. His body swayed violently and he almost lost his balance.

"Eh? What's wrong? Are those two weapons important to you?!"

Asuna panicked as she saw Chris's eyes completely drained of life.

Weren’t those two weapons bought from a roadside stall?

No wonder it can withstand my power, it turns out it's not just an ordinary weapon...

I'll go look for it later, I hope it doesn't fly too far...

Asuna had a good idea of ​​how much force she had used. As long as they were not picked up by someone by chance, they should be able to get the two weapons back.

"No...it's okay. It's just an 'ordinary' weapon I salvaged from someone else. Just let it go."

Chris was in tears.

The two artifacts that I had finally recovered were gone just like that...

Chapter 11: The Knight Girl Who Is in a Coma but Looks Enjoyable

Asuna was helpless. She looked at Chris who was trying hard to act like, "I'm fine, nothing's wrong with me," and patted her silver hair gently.

Since Chris's weapon had been thrown away by herself, Asuna had no choice but to take out her own dagger and use it as ammunition to fire it out.

Unlike Chris's two weapons, Asuna's dagger was actually bought from a roadside stall, and the quality didn't seem to be very good.

Asuna didn't use much strength, but just barely used the dagger to pierce the giant frog's head.

"It's definitely not an ordinary weapon." Comparing the difference between the two, Asuna smiled bitterly.

I hope it doesn't fly too far.

She added silently in her heart, then she and Chris came to the dead giant frog and found the dagger that Asuna had just thrown at it.

Asuna: "..."

Chris: "..."

The dagger that was emitting a cold light not long ago now seems to be on the verge of being scrapped?

The sword was twisted by the violent collision, and there were traces of red and white unknown fluids on the sword, which seemed to be the blood and brain tissue of the giant frog...

All in all, it makes people not want to take it at all.

Chris almost cried when he thought that the two artifacts he had collected with great difficulty might end up like this dagger.

However, if the images of those two artifacts were the same as this dagger... probably... no one would be curious enough to pick them up, right? !

After all, it's really disgusting!

"I don't know why, but I suddenly felt relieved, hehe...hehe..." Chris said in a low voice with his mouth twitching.

"Well... let's use it to cut some materials first..." Asuna took out a piece of cloth and carefully wrapped the hilt of the sword. Then, she used this short sword that could be scrapped at any time to remove some materials from the three giant frogs.

Chris took advantage of this opportunity to run around on the plain, trying to find the two artifacts that Asuna had thrown away somewhere.

"Haven't you found it yet?" After packing up the materials, Asuna came to Chris.

"No..." Chris felt a little depressed.

"Wait for me." Asuna handed the package to Chris and went to search in the distance along the trajectory of the weapon she had just thrown.

Her strength was much higher than Chris's. In just a few seconds, she had reached a distance of several hundred meters.

If we search further, we will come to a trade road.

The coming and going of people and carriages made Asuna feel troubled.

"Do I have to go to the Adventurer's Guild to issue a commission?"

She glanced back and forth at the people passing by, but didn't notice anything unusual.

……

……

At the gate of Axel, a group of people were hurriedly carrying a girl dressed as a paladin and running towards the city.

The girl was wearing a suit of armor that was silver, white, orange, and yellow, which gave her a very heavy feeling.

However, it was this piece of armor that seemed to have suffered a very powerful blunt force blow at this moment, as if it could shatter at any time.

At one side, two sturdy young men were struggling to lift the knight's sword.

The greatsword, which was almost the same size as them, was also seriously injured, just like the paladin's armor.

A large number of cracks spread from the sword's spine. A seemingly ordinary dagger pierced through the broadsword. Judging from the degree of the strange depression on the sword body, this was definitely not an accident!

Moreover, next to the dagger, there was a dagger, which was firmly embedded in the big sword. The tip of the dagger penetrated out, and a ray of cold light was very dazzling in the eyes.

This is clearly a deliberate murder!

No matter who it is, after seeing the tragic state of this greatsword, this thought will come to mind.

But... despite having suffered such a horrific attack, this knight lady, who had withstood two attacks to protect them and immediately fell into a coma, actually had an inexplicably strange smile on her face? !

Seems like you're enjoying it?

Want... another one?

No no no, how is that possible?!

If this lady knight hadn’t stepped forward, our merchandise would have been ruined!

The expression on her face must have been one of relief that she had successfully protected these civilians from that malicious attack!

The leader of the caravan was deeply moved and immediately ordered his men to send the young lady knight to medical treatment.

At the same time, he was prepared to invest in helping the knight lady buy a new set of armor and a greatsword.

After all, her armor and sword had been almost scrapped in order to protect them. Now that she had the ability, she naturally could not treat her benefactor badly!

Change! Must change! Give me the best!

The leader of the caravan was full of pride and had no idea that the knight lady was much wealthier than him.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

"We can't stay in this town. Let's leave the investigation to the adventurers of the Adventurer's Guild."

He stroked his chin and said.

"Go find an artist and ask him to draw the two weapons stuck on Miss Knight's sword. Post it and see if you can find any clues."

"Also, send someone to the Adventurer's Guild and ask them to help ask the adventurers who hunt giant frogs if any strange figures appeared today."

Although the attack came from a plain not far from the trade route, the caravan leader did not think that any new adventurer could launch such a powerful attack.

The only possibility is that an outsider sneaked in and attacked them under the pretext of hunting giant frogs.

Moreover, when they were faced with the attack, they also searched the plains, but apart from the giant frogs and the adventurers who were fighting the giant frogs, there were no suspicious figures at all.

"I just hope those new adventurers can find some problems."

The leader of the caravan sighed inwardly.

He had traveled all over the country for most of his life, so it was inevitable that he would offend some people, but this was the first time he had encountered such a powerful attack as today's.

If that knight lady hadn't stepped forward, he might have lost his life today.

Although he had sent people to collect clues, he knew that in the end they would get basically no results.

Soon after, the news that the famous caravan had been attacked spread smoothly throughout the city of Axel.

A request to find relevant clues was also posted on the Adventurer's Guild's bulletin board.

On the commission form, a twisted greatsword with a dagger and a short sword inserted into it was drawn in detail.

Even the styles of the daggers and daggers were guessed by adventurers who were proficient in this field.

Seeing the high reward of 300,000 Eris, the adventurers who were originally slacking off in the Adventurer's Guild could no longer sit still and immediately mobilized people to look for clues.

At this moment, Asuna and Chris are on their way back...

Chapter 12: Darkness

"The bodies of those giant frogs, are they just left there?"

Asuna asked Chris on the way.

"No, they will send someone to retrieve it when we return to the guild."

I don’t know why, but Chris, who was very depressed before, seems to be in a much better mood?

The corners of her mouth curled up into a slight smile, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and for some reason, there was an unconcealable joy in her eyes.

"That's weird, Chris." Asuna glanced at her, confused.

However, when she thought of her other identity, she felt relieved.

As a deity, it must be easy for her to handle multiple things at once.

Did something happen in the divine world that made her happy?

After coming into contact with the gods of this world, Asuna could easily tell the difference between humans and gods.

So when Chris appeared in front of her, she recognized at a glance that the girl who had changed her appearance was the goddess Eris who saved her.

Although I don’t know if the two weapons I accidentally threw away just now have any special meaning to her, but seeing that she is in such a good mood now, there shouldn’t be any big problem, right?

Asuna nodded cooperatively without asking Chris why he suddenly became so happy.

"Hey, Chris, are you back from the plains? Did you see any suspicious figures?"

As soon as he entered the city gate, Chris was stopped by an adventurer.

but……

Suspicious figure?

Could it be that some dangerous guy has come to this novice village?
