After the feast in Mushroom City, Nebula returns to the Enchanted Forest, and Yuta and Evan return to Archer Village.

After two weeks of dull and boring work, Nebula encountered a rare break, plus the days when he didn't have to attend classes and lectures, Nebula could rest for a total of seven days this time.

Encountering such a slightly long vacation, Nebula of course thought about going out to play happily, and even what to play, where to play, and who to play with, Nebula thought about it.

It's a pity that there is always a housekeeper woman in the villa whose personality is more and more like Nanma's development, which makes Xingyun very nerve-wracking.

"Hey! Captain Nebula!! All the team members are working hard to do adventure missions, and you, as the leader of the adventure team, are sitting on the couch watching TV!? Don't you have a little bit of shame? And you've already eaten one of the cakes today! Don't eat it again!! No objections!! Nou stretched out his fingers and scolded at Nebula.

Nebula reluctantly took the list of adventure tasks handed over by Nora, and flipped through them casually, but did not find the task he wanted to take.

These quests, which Nora has listed on the list of adventure quests, are either simple hunting quests that require the adventurer to hunt down monsters that attack the village until the village is temporarily safe; Either it's a collection task, such as two hundred crocodile skins, as if the employer who posted the task wanted to make a crocodile fur coat; Or it's a guard mission, protecting an important family heir, or a little prince or princess, and going somewhere

Originally, there was a task of transporting goods, but due to the current flood of space rings for storage, instead of using horses, magic four-wheeled vehicles and other vehicles to carry and transport goods with great fanfare, it is better for one person to carry several space rings and quietly transport them through flying ships.

Nebula pursed her lips, then handed back the list of adventure tasks, shook her head and said to Nora, "I'm not interested in any of these tasks, so forget it!" We're not short of money anyway."

Nora was so angry with Nebula that she had never seen such an unmotivated adventure team leader, Nebula hadn't been on a mission for half a month!

If Nebula was just an ordinary adventurer, in such a brutal competitive environment as the Adventure Guild, with his casual attitude, he wouldn't even be able to drink soup at all!!

Just as Nora crossed her hands on her hips, ready to give Nebula a long lecture on education, Nebula's portable communicator suddenly rang!

"Hey!? Oh~~~ Hisoka? Do you have something to do with me? Well!? Let me come to the city in the sky right away, have something important to look for me? Well, okay! I'll be right over, you wait a minute! After Nebula said this, he hung up the portable communicator.

Looking at Nora, who was about to speak, Nebula chuckled and said to Nora, "Sister Nora, Hisoka said that there is something important to look for me, it seems that something big has happened in Sky City, I will set off to Sky City to find out now!" ”

Nora grabbed Nebula, who was running out of the door, and yelled at Nebula, "Now go to Sky City? Even if it is a convenient flying ship from the Enchanted Forest to the Sky City, it must take six days, and your vacation is not enough for you to make a round trip, are you an idiot to me? ”

Nebula didn't refute Nora's question, but took something out of the spatial ring and shook it in front of Nora's eyes.

Nora slowly loosened Nebula's Blue Saint Party suit, and said in surprise, "Is this thing?"

"You scumbag! Go wherever you like! I'm not your mom anyway! What do I care you do!? Nora pouted at Nebula.

Nebula folded his hands together and made an apologetic gesture to the angry Nora, and then used his mental power to activate the pale blue stone engraved with the dragon pattern in his hand

★?????????????????? ★

Castle in the sky, in front of the pharmacy -

A light blue magic array painted with countless incumbent inscriptions suddenly appeared in the air at the entrance of the apothecary in Sky City, and a young magician dressed in the uniform of the Blue Saint Party, wearing a blue peace hat, and holding the staff of the Sun family and an electromagnetic light shield, slowly fell to the ground from the light blue magic array.

"Huh!? Nebula!? How did you end up here? Were you already in the Sky City when you spoke to me? Sisoka, who was chatting with the fairy Koriel at the door of the pharmacy, was shocked to ask Nebula when he saw Nebula suddenly appearing in front of him.

Nebula shook his head and replied to Hisoka, "I just don't want to waste time, it takes six days to take a flying ship. And if it's just a lively ride together, it's too lonely to ride a flying ship alone, so I used the chrono teleportation magic stone to rush to Sky City. ”

After hearing Nebula's answer, Hisuka smiled awkwardly, after he knew the news, he thought that he had finally squeezed into the ranks of the young masters of the first-class family, but when Hisuka saw Nebula's big spending, he suddenly felt so poor.

"That's right! Sisoka, what are you looking for me? Didn't you say there was something important to tell me? Nebula asked Hisoka curiously.

With a happy face, Hisoka replied to Nebula, "Nebula, our Vernier family has finally left their names on the Stone of Glory in the family hall!" ”

"The Stone of Glory? What is that? Nebula was even more confused when he heard Hisoka's answer.

Hisoka coughed lightly twice and explained to Nebula, "The Stone of Glory is an important item for the Family Hall to rank the major families in the Adventure World, and it is said that the Family Hall has a world-class intelligence agency, if you are willing to spend a lot of money, you may even be able to inquire about the inside of the Holy Land." ”

"In order to improve the status and credibility of the family hall, the family hall has produced something like the Glory Stone, and the Glory Stone will only rank the top 100 families in the adventure world, as long as the family name is ranked on the Glory Stone, it is almost equivalent to entering the ranks of the world's first-class adventure families." Hisoka explained to Nebula in detail what the Glory Stone did.

Nebula nodded knowingly, not surprised, after all, the Vinier family where Sisoka is located has already taken the line of the Earth Defense Headquarters, and the Vinier family is originally a first-class family in the Magical Jungle, and it is not surprising that it is now ranked in the top 100 in the world.

"Hisoka, how many of your Verniers are in line?" Nebula asked Sisoka without hesitation.

Sisoka scratched his head and said to Nebula very embarrassedly: "It's not too ideal, it's ninety-ninth, and your brother Ryan's Lachett family is ranked twenty-ninth, which is already extremely high, this is the gap between the super family and the first-class family." ”

After listening to Hisoka's answer, Nebula was very puzzled, the Ratchet family, which had the combat power of the Grand Magister, was actually only ranked twenty-nine!? Could it be that the number one family is hiding a level 180 Dharma God?

"That's right, Nebula! Our family is going to have a small celebration in the park of Sky City to celebrate our Vignier family as a world-class adventurous family, and you should definitely join in. Ever since hearing about your behavior in Magatia, my father has wanted to see you," Hisoka said with a sincere invitation to Nebula.

Nebula nodded to Hisoka and replied, "Yes! No problem, I'm fine anyway, just going for lunch is fine. ”

"And Siso, don't you want to say anything else? For example, the real reason why you called me to Sky City" Nebula asked Hisoka, stroking his chin and looking expectant.

After hearing Nebula's inquiry, Hisoka laughed loudly and said to Nebula: "Hahaha~~~ is worthy of being Captain Nebula!" You know me well and know that I still have some things to say! ”

"Nonsense! There's no way you're going to call me over because of something like a family celebration, and if you really dare to do that, I'll beat you up so much that your dad won't even recognize you. Nebula patted Hisoka on the shoulder and chuckled at Hisoka.

Hisoka shook his head and explained to Nebula: "Nebula, in fact, this is the way it happened, when I first arrived in Sky City a few days ago, there was a sudden very strong vibration in Sky City as a whole, although the tremor was only a few seconds, but it did shake violently, and caused more or less damage to some unreliable buildings in Sky City. ”

"After that incident, an old magician named Spirona made a terrible prophecy that the city in the sky was about to be destroyed. Although most of the inhabitants of Sky City did not believe in Spirona's prophecy, because Spirona was a Grand Magus who had lived in seclusion in Sky City for decades, and she was also proficient in divination magic, and Spirona had a high level of prestige among the upper echelons of Sky City. Therefore, most of the elders of Sky City acquiesced to Spirona's prophecy, "Sisoka explained the cause and effect of the matter in detail to the nebula.

Nebula stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then asked Hisoka in confusion, "So what does this have to do with me?" Do you want me to stop the destruction of the city in the sky? I don't even know the reason for the destruction of Sky City, how can I stop it? ”

Hisoka said to Nebula a little helplessly, "Do you listen to me first?" Because the elders of Sky City are very worried about the future of Sky City, so the elders issued a high reward to the Adventurer's Guild, as long as the adventurer can find the cause of the impending destruction of Sky City and solve the crisis, Sky City will grant the adventurer the position of Guest Elder, and you can also go to the treasure room of Sky City for many years to choose three things. This kind of good thing, do you dare to say that you are not tempted? When it came to the idea that he could pick any three items in the treasure room, Hisoka's eyes even flashed with gold.

Nebula scratched his head in annoyance, and responded to Hisoka: "These conditions are indeed tempting, but we have no way of investigating the cause of the crisis in Sky City, so this is just a piece of paper and cannot be eaten at all." ”

"Nebula, you're wrong! Most people may not know much about the crisis in the Sky City, but the Archmagist of Spirona, who made the prophecy, must know something to some extent," Hisoka replied with a shake of his finger and a wink of his eyes.

(Well, let's continue the main story!) Everyone should know what the next task is.)
