"This is really a headache."

The little human hero sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation, "This has really given us a big problem."

indeed.

As he said, we really need to rack our brains to think of a good way to deal with Ling Shu.

It should be noted that even the 'guild' can only record basic information about the various clans due to various reasons.

For example, the adventurer's appearance, gender, age, race, level of favor... and the title bestowed by the gods.

Apart from that, all that's left is 'Adventurer's Experience' and 'Background'.

These are all important secrets that cannot be disclosed to outsiders.

As for the 'skills' and 'magic' they possess, those are top secrets within each clan.

However, now someone suddenly comes up to you and says: I can know these secrets at will.

This is no longer a question of whether or not to take precautions.

To put it bluntly, this is a crucial matter that can subconsciously instill murderous intent in people.

Rather...

"Luminous, you (Freya's Familia) are as bold as ever!"

"...How dare they form an alliance with someone like that."

Finn didn't say the second half of his sentence directly, but just kept it to himself.

But the expression on his face was enough to achieve the effect of 'silence speaks louder than words'.

Seeing this...

"Ling Shu is willing to reveal these things on his own initiative. I think Mr. Finn should understand his intentions, right?"

Ying squinted and chuckled softly.

Indeed, it's easy to understand.

This is a deliberate 'self-restraint' designed to deepen mutual trust.

Generally speaking...

"I will not disclose any information that would harm the interests of the Loki Familia."

"In return, I ask Mr. Finn and others to keep what I just said confidential."

Yes, that's exactly what Ling Shu is talking about now.

The passive effect of 'Crown of Wisdom'... is comparable to 'True Name Revelation'. If this were to be publicized, Ling Shu would definitely attract countless troubles.

Conversely, if Ling Shu were to leak information about the Loki Familia, it would also deal a heavy blow to the latter.

Of course, both the now powerful Ling Shu and the Loki Familia, which have accumulated sufficient strength over the years, are capable of dealing with those 'troubles'.

However, being able to cope is one thing, but not wanting to cause trouble for no reason is another.

in this way……

"understood."

Finn took a deep breath. "Since the Freya Familia has formed an alliance with you, and I just made the same promise... then let me take a gamble and consider myself tricked into joining your pirate ship."

"so……"

He looked directly at Ling Shu. "You brought this up suddenly, not just to express your sincerity, right?"

"Correct."

Ling Shu did not deny it, "Knowing about this matter will make it easier for everyone to understand the effect of activating my skill 'Crown of Wisdom'."

"Currently, I have divided all the skills and magic I have mastered into nine levels according to their different 'learning' difficulties..."

Chapter 226 Riveria's Approval

It is said that ever since Ling Shu obtained the skill 'Crown of Wisdom', before he recently awakened the 'Trinity' ability, he would occasionally switch to his original body to stroll around the streets, and he would record all sorts of adventurer abilities from time to time.

Among these, there are not many high-level [skills] and [magic], the vast majority are common, low-quality spells with the 'ball' suffix, such as Fireball, Waterball, Windball, Lightningball, etc.

Yes, many adventurers know these sample spells that can be made into 'ordinary magic swords' and 'standard magic books'.

They even... regarded it as a treasure.

Unfortunately, their analysis difficulty only requires 'affinity level 1'.

Moving up another level, once you reach the analysis difficulty of 'Affection Level 2', you'll encounter advanced spells such as 'Wind Blade Technique', 'Flame Arrow Technique', and 'Ground Spike Technique'.

Both of these levels can be analyzed almost instantly.

Therefore, under these circumstances...

Relying on the 'Crown of Wisdom' with its extreme analytical range of seven meters in radius, and the closer it gets to the main body... until they come into contact, the higher the analytical efficiency can be. In the past month or two, Ling Shu has accumulated nearly three digits of skills and magic.

Especially those skills that are more focused on 'passive effect bonuses', which can be kept active without cost as long as certain conditions are met...

To be honest, the reason Ling Shu was able to solo the Minotaur in the 'middle level' of the dungeon was because his buffs had enhanced his basic combat power to an exaggerated degree.

Just imagine:

Here's a passive skill that can increase 'strength' in adversity.

And then there's another passive skill that increases 'Agility' when mana is consumed.

Then, with so many interconnected passive abilities...

In short, the reason why Ling Shu, whose current Grace level is only Lv.2 and whose other basic abilities are far from top-tier except for his 'Magic Power' stat, was able to personally play the role of the Israeli boxing champion is due to the above reason.

The most terrifying thing is that those 'skill' effects that occasionally turn into debuffs can be temporarily turned off by 'Crown of Wisdom'.

in this way……

"As it stands, the highest level of skills and magic that everyone here has awakened is 'Mystery Level 7'."

Obviously, Ling Shu wouldn't reveal the term 'favorability rating'.

Therefore, they changed to the more sophisticated-sounding adjective 'mystery'.

at the moment……

"The learning difficulty... or rather, the 'mystery level' out of nine levels, even Ais and Lefia's abilities are only '7'?"

After Finn and Riveria initially accepted Ling Shu as an ally, they didn't dwell too much on the pros and cons of 'intelligence leakage'... Of course, they would definitely have a meeting with Loki and Grace afterwards to discuss the details of the follow-up matters.

But now, the Lilliputian hero and the learned elven royalty, after listening intently to Ling Shu's explanation of the relevant information, couldn't help but sigh in admiration:

"The world is indeed too vast to be fully measured by our limited perspective."

Finn looked at Ling Shu and asked, "If I may ask, have you ever seen any skills or magic with a higher level of 'mystery'?"

"Have."

Ling Shu nodded, then added, "I have indeed seen quite a few skills and magics with a higher degree of 'mystery,' but... I'm going to follow my 'personal principles,' so I'm sorry I can't reveal too much."

"Just as I just promised you, I will not casually reveal any information about adventurers that I have 'discovered'."

"unless……"

He turned his head to look at his silly younger sister beside him, "The person involved himself agreed to disclose this information to the outside world... to the 'designated group'."

Seeing Ling Shu looking over, Ying shrugged slightly and smiled in a very cooperative manner.

Finn and the others then understood.

Without a doubt, the "Genshin Impact Descent" magic awakened by the Twin Stars is one of the most illustrious examples of this.

After all, that's a special ability that connects to 'another world,' and even the gods are currently very curious about it.

"understood."

Finn smiled helplessly, "Ling Shu, now I understand why Ying said when she introduced you that you set a self-imposed rule of 'not using the skills or magic of the person involved unless permitted by them'."

"Because what you're doing is less like 'learning' and more like a 'passive analysis' ability that you can't even control."

"Lefia's 'Elf Ring' magic requires knowing the corresponding incantation and seeing the spell's effect before she can summon the magic of her 'kin'."

"You..."

"I agree that you may use my magic as long as you do not do evil."

As the vice-captain of the Loki Familia, Riveria could tell that Finn seemed to have subconsciously spoken too bluntly.

In the eyes of this "madam," Finn, being too "rational," inadvertently overlooked the influence of some "emotional" aspects.

Ultimately, if he continues to communicate in such a rigid and inflexible manner, he will most likely be unable to successfully build rapport between his group and this relatively unfamiliar young man.

As for Ling Shu... without a doubt, this young man is worth getting to know better.

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the extraordinary level of familiarity between him and Ying, we have to seriously consider the attitude of the Freya Familia.

and……

"You possess this...excuse my bluntness, but this ability is truly 'terrifying'."

Rivera looked directly at Ling Shu, "You, who possess this special ability, are willing to 'self-restrict' to avoid harming others, and just now you even risked exposing sensitive information that could put you in danger... I think this is a respectable quality."

"Since you are willing to trust us, we will not let you down."

The easygoing elven royalty smiled slightly and said, "If possible, we might be able to cooperate with the Frigg family on our next 'expedition'."

She turned to her colleague beside her, "Finn, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this suggestion...

"Yes, this is indeed a very promising proposal."

The little race's "Hero," having been a comrade-in-arms with Riveria for many years, immediately understood the "mama-san's" intentions.

At that moment, he stopped speaking rigidly and immediately supported Riveria's position.

"By the way, there's something I feel I need to make clear beforehand."

Rivera looked at the others around her, "The promise I just made to Ling Shu was merely my 'personal' judgment."

"In other words: Ais, Lefia... if you are willing to trust Ling Shu, then you must give him the corresponding permission yourself."
