This fact alone was enough to astonish everyone present.

At the same time, Finn and the others finally understood...

"I see. This is indeed an important matter that needs to be explained in advance."

Magic is essentially a vital asset for each adventurer... and even for the entire clan behind them.

If it is easily copied by outsiders, even if it is a unique and unprecedented case, it will cause a lot of subsequent troubles.

After all, not everyone is as straightforward and easygoing as Welf, a true buddy.

For a time...

“Yingying, you just said that you and your brother Sang were both instructed by that ‘Ling Shu’.”

Tiona, who was already sitting next to Yingmei on the rocky ledge, asked softly, "Could it be..."

"Yes, you guessed right."

Ying smiled and nodded. "The 'Genshin Impact Descent' magic that Sora and I used can also be used by Ling Shu."

"That's just how he is. Even if he has 'accidentally' learned someone else's magic, he will only feel at ease using it after obtaining the person's approval."

"And Kong and I have already accepted him."

Ling Shu felt that although these matters involved too many things and could only be explained with half-truths, the Loki Familia members were familiar with him after all, so it was necessary to let them know some important matters in advance.

and so……

"Although Ling Shu has this kind of personality, he really often 'accidentally' learns other people's magic."

Ling Shu (Kong) explained: "Based on this characteristic, even if he doesn't use it casually before obtaining the 'approval' of the person involved, everyone still needs to have a clear understanding of this matter beforehand."

"So……"

Ling Shu (empty) looked at Finn, "Finn, do you still want to see him?"

Chapter 122 Mother is giving a lecture

At this moment, Finn, as the leader of the Loki Familia, had many things to consider, so he did not give a definite answer immediately.

In particular, he felt he couldn't make decisions for Riveria.

Therefore, the little human [hero] looked directly at his old partner beside him.

As for the latter...

“Finn, if possible, I would like to meet with this young man alone.”

Riveria, on the other hand, did not have those overly worldly considerations.

Her idea was very simple...

“If this young man named ‘Dongfang Lingshu’ is not a bad person, I think that as someone who is also exploring the ‘realm of magical knowledge’, I should find an opportunity to discuss the truth with him, instead of being afraid of his existence and avoiding him.”

"This is a very foolish and short-sighted act."

indeed.

It is never as good as learning from the strengths of others than to reinvent the wheel; this is a truth that the ancient Chinese sages summarized long ago.

Only by embracing the mindset of seeking common ground while reserving differences, taking the essence and discarding the dross, can we go further.

Of course, Riveria is clearly not the kind of person with a terrible personality like a 'mad scientist'. Although she yearns for 'knowledge', she does not think that is a reason to abandon her basic human principles.

Therefore, she also gave the premise that "this young man is not a bad person".

And seeing her attitude like this...

"Since you've put it that way, what objections could I possibly have?"

Finn shrugged with a wry smile, then looked at Ling Shu (Kong), "However, if I may ask a question..."

"Ku, is your friend also a member of the Freya Familia?"

"That's not it."

Ling Shu (Kong) shook his head. "He has always been an adventurer belonging to the 'Frigga Familia,' a small faction that has only recently arrived in Orario, and he is the only member currently in the group."

"Look, he just leveled up to Lv.2 a while ago. The 'Gods' Gathering' had just ended not long ago, and he hadn't even had time to get his [title] yet."

Listen to his explanations...

"Frigga's clan?"

"It's definitely a faction I've never heard of before."

"Kudu said that this clan has only been in Orario for a short time."

"There is only one member in each department."

The people around were talking amongst themselves.

At this time...

"A family belonging to one person."

Rivera said with a sigh, "Under normal circumstances, small factions like this that are just starting out are easily targeted by those with ulterior motives."

She looked at Ling Shu (Kong), "Moreover, your friend's magical talent... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's 'astounding'."

"In this situation, it becomes even more dangerous."

As he spoke, the elven royal's tone became very serious. "Kong, and Ying, there's something you two did that was very inappropriate, something I haven't mentioned before."

"But now, it seems necessary to tell you immediately."

"I hope you don't think I'm meddling."

Without waiting for Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying to respond, Rivera, seeing that they were both looking at her, said seriously, "You are too trusting of others..."

"???"

The very first sentence left Ling Shu completely baffled.

This 'masked bastard' of mine is always scheming, planning in advance what to say and what not to say, and always subtly guiding the conversation... And yet, is that considered—too trusting of others?

Is it...

“I don’t deny that your mindset is a rare virtue. But in many situations, we still need to have a basic sense of caution.”

Riveria turned to look at Ying, "Along the way, you and Sora have shown us so many of your abilities. I am glad that you can still trust us so much even though you belong to different families."

"We are also willing to respond to your trust with concrete actions."

"but……"

She narrowed her eyes slightly. "Those abilities you had before were all your own, so ultimately, the decision of whether or not to reveal them to others is in your hands."

“But just now, regarding the magical talent possessed by that young man named ‘Dongfang Lingshu’, and the background of the clan he belongs to, that’s everything he has.”

“You and Sora didn’t seem to think that so casually exposing other people’s information, especially unintentionally revealing your friend’s ‘vulnerability’… Although Finn asked first, this is undoubtedly a very dangerous act for the person involved.”

"Moreover, it is also very excessive."

After saying this, Rivera looked around and warned, "Tiona, Ais... you too, from now on, keep matters concerning that young man to yourselves and don't gossip about them."

"We can't cause trouble for others, you know?"

"Oh."

Led by the little angel, everyone responded in unison.

Even Finn was forcing a wry smile at that moment.

As for Ling Shu...

Although he was somewhat amused and exasperated, knowing that Rivera had misunderstood certain important matters due to a lack of understanding of the situation, however…

"I've truly come to understand once again why Riveria is respected by so many people."

Anyone with eyes can see that an elder with such sound values, even if her earnest advice is unpleasant to hear, is actually a form of 'concern'.

Therefore, Ling Shu (Kong) didn't offer much explanation at the moment, and simply accepted the 'education' humbly.

Not long after...

"Alright, alright, we'll talk about the future later."

Finn aptly smoothed things over, suggesting, "We'll continue exploring deeper tomorrow, so let's have dinner first and get some rest tonight."

"Next, we'll have to take turns keeping watch at night."

Once those words were spoken...

"Oh right, it's time to eat."

Tiona's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at her friend beside her, "Yingying..."

"Okay, I understand, I understand."

As Tiona playfully pulled and shook her left hand, Ying smiled wryly, "Perfect timing, Sora brought a lot of ingredients, so I'll make you 'grilled pork chops' tonight too."

"Okay~"

******

Dinner time, as always, was spent in laughter and joy.

After that, it was time for everyone to rest and take turns keeping watch.

In fact, as mentioned many times before, Ling Shu in the 'Air Firefly' split transformation state does not need to sleep.

This is the advantage of energy life forms.

However, sometimes you really can't act too 'different'.

and so……

"Tonight's shift work is arranged in pairs."

“Me and Riveria, Tiona and Tione, Sora and Bert, Ying and Ais.”

"Each group is responsible for two hours of night watch, and we will set off again after eight hours."

Inside the three-bedroom, one-living-room dark gold-colored cottage, Finn sat on a rocky stool on one side of the hall and laughed, "Thanks to Ying's magic, we're not really 'camping' anymore, strictly speaking."
