Chapter 126
Time flew by, and before he knew it, a week had passed since Broly came to this new world.
And the return time of this world differed from the previous two worlds.
【Positioning Interface Time: 28 days 14 hours 29 minutes】
【Current Interface Time: 286 days 0 hours 50 minutes】
After coming to this world, the Crystal Palace gave two return time prompts.
The first was the Heaven time where Aqua originally was, which was synchronized with the time of Broly's original world.
The latter was the time of the world currently in, yet it presented a 1:10 time flow ratio with the Heaven time.
In the prompt given by the Crystal Palace, if he directly transmigrated to this world, he could only stay for less than a month.
But because he went to Heaven first and then came here, the return countdown was calculated according to the Positioning Interface, that is, Heaven time.
Of course, according to the Crystal Palace, his body time was still calculated based on Heaven time.
"Hunted one thousand Giant Frogs, no one has ever been able to achieve such a feat during the Giant Frog breeding season..."
On the seventh day of coming to the Isekai, due to Broly's active performance in hitting Giant Frogs, Aqua was being awarded a Medal of Honor.
For Adventurers, Giant Frogs are not considered very dangerous Magic Beasts, but for Ordinary People, they are existences that can endanger their lives even more than high-level Magic Beasts.
"Here, I, Prosecutor Sena, on behalf of Axel Town, confer upon Miss Aqua the identity of Excellent Adventurer of Axel, and the title of Giant Frog Hunter!"
The capable black-haired woman put the medal on Aqua, and after she finished speaking, enthusiastic applause rang out from the audience.
Most of those clapping were farm owners; these people had suffered from Giant Frogs for too long, and every time the Giant Frog breeding season arrived, they would feel terrified.
Wanting to hire Adventurers to subjugate Giant Frogs but unable to offer high prices, each time it relied on the town officials joining with the Adventurer's Guild's subsidies for some Adventurers to be willing to go subjugate Giant Frogs, reduce their numbers, and make the farms and their lives a bit safer.
However, unexpectedly this year, before the Giant Frog breeding season had reached its most intense phase, a fierce character like Aqua, a High Priest, emerged and took a commanding lead on the road of subjugating Giant Frogs.
This made the farm owners around Axel very grateful, and after jointly reporting to the City Lord's Mansion, today's commendation came about.
Of course, a more important point was that the unit price of the Giant Frog subjugation commission quest would decrease, because Broly in Aqua's party subjugated too many Giant Frogs.
Just the Giant Frogs hunted caused Axel's current frog meat market to suffer a severe blow, from the previous 600 Eris per kilogram to the current 100 Eris per kilogram.
Frog meat couldn't fetch a price, so the official subsidies and the subjugation rewards jointly given by the farm owners also became difficult to maintain the previous price of 5,000 Eris.
"Miss Aqua, this is 500,000 Eris rewarded to you on behalf of the town and the Adventurer's Guild, as a reward for your party subjugating Giant Frogs and safeguarding the safety of Axel's surroundings.
However, the threats to Axel's safety are not only Magic Beasts like Giant Frogs, but there are many other Magic Beasts as well.
If possible, would you please continue leading your party to help Axel eliminate more threats?"
City Prosecutor Sena asked thus after handing over the reward money.
"No problem, leave everything to me!"
Aqua on the podium was very excited; as a Goddess she should respond to Believers' prayers, although the people below weren't yet Believers of the Axis Cult, she was also willing to give a corresponding response to those who placed high hopes on her.
She, Aqua, was just such a Goddess who could make people feel at ease.
"Since Your Excellency Aqua is so enthusiastic and responsible, then it just so happens that the Guild has an urgent commission that needs handling..."
At the side, after Aqua expressed her attitude, the Adventurer's Guild receptionist Luna brought a new commission quest form, seemingly prepared in advance.
...... "Broly, Broly..."
At Marian's home, Aqua rushed in somewhat flustered.
"What's wrong?"
Broly, who was practicing Water Purification at home, looked over with some curiosity.
"What else could it be, this guy got complacent on stage accepting the award and took on a troublesome quest."
Marian followed behind, holding her forehead, saying that ever since she went with the two to hit Giant Frogs, Marian knew who the one truly dealing damage was.
Undeniably, Aqua has powerful Assist capabilities, but compared to the boy's simple and direct Violent output, her Assist capabilities are truly dispensable.
If Broly himself didn't mind much, Marian would have wanted to knock this guy Aqua on the head, boasting to others about being an expert at hunting Giant Frogs, when in the end she was just relying on her cute disciple to deal damage.
"Is that so?"
Broly looked at Aqua.
"Sorry, but in that situation on stage, I simply couldn't refuse."
Aqua apologized, hugging the boy's waist.
"Broly, please, you must help me."
Aqua. Nobita pleaded.
"So, Aqua Master, what commission did you actually accept?"
Broly. Doraemon inquired.
"Actually, she accepted a commission to deal with a Newbie Killer, which is a Pitch Black Magic Beast that appeared near Axel recently.
That Magic Beast seems able to judge an Adventurer's level; when encountering high-level Adventurers, it simply won't show itself, but when encountering low-level Adventurers, it will jump out and attack those newbie Adventurers.
Quite a few newbie Adventurers have died because of this, the Adventurer's Guild is rather anxious about this, and you and Aqua belong to the category of low-level but very powerful Adventurers.
So, the Adventurer's Guild wants to ask you to help resolve the Newbie Killer matter."
Marian helped explain.
In this world, continuously grinding low-level monsters doesn't raise your level high, so even though Broly hunted a huge pile of Giant Frogs in this week, plus some other monsters.
But as of now, his and Aqua's Adventurer levels are still below Level 12, making them bona fide newbie Adventurers.
"This doesn't seem like anything difficult, right?"
Broly asked strangely.
"For you it's not difficult, but for Aqua..."
Marian didn't say the rest, but Broly heard the implication.
"With Aqua Master's combat style, I'm afraid it would turn into a meat bun beating a dog — having gone with no return."
He continued speaking.
