"Correct."
Bell nodded and continued, "The Magic King Solomon built the Wall of Mary with seventy-two magic pillars. In ancient times three thousand years ago, it protected humans, elves, dwarves and other intelligent races for decades."
"He was therefore admired, respected, thanked, and hailed as king by countless people."
"And the kingdom he personally established and ruled was the predecessor of the modern 'magical superpower - Yardina'."
"I think the name was..."
"Strares".

The night roads of Orario are actually not easy to navigate.
Because there isn't a surveillance network like in modern cities, all sorts of shady characters start causing trouble as soon as it gets dark.
Previously, when Ling Shu first arrived, before he had received the 'divine grace', he had wondered: if he failed to join a certain clan that day, he might end up sleeping on the streets at night, and all his belongings would be taken away.
As for Seele... the reason she dared to walk alone at night was partly because she was able to use the power of 'charm', which was almost irresistible to creatures in the lower realms.
Secondly... the Lv.6 [Goddess Chariot] can always lurk in the shadows to protect you.
To be honest, just to keep Seele from being bothered, Eren, as the vice-commander of the Freya Familia, has in the past chased away, crippled, and even killed countless clueless guys.
And tonight...
"Hehehe~"
“I’m telling you, Seele… it’s hard for you to walk with your arms hanging on me like this.”
On a side street leading to Daedalus Street, Ling Shu felt that everything was going wrong for him.
First, a strange sensation coming from his arm made him inexplicably distracted.
Moreover, it was precisely because of Seele's overly intimate actions... well, Bell and Lily were alright; the former was merely amazed by the close relationship between their leader and the goddess, while the latter was already used to scenes of interaction between humans and gods.
To be honest, she had caught glimpses of even more 'explosive' scenes a couple of times.
It's just holding hands, nothing at all.
In short, what truly made Ling Shu feel uneasy was a chilling gaze emanating from the surrounding area.
Let me put it this way...
Cats, too, can be jealous.
Chapter 244 This is our 'home'
Despite the piercing gazes from behind, Ling Shu finally brought Seele, Lily, and Bell back to Maria's Orphanage, located inside Daedalus Street.
At this moment, the group had just arrived at the entrance of the reddish-brown abandoned church...
"Slap slap~"
As Seele consciously stepped back and released her hands from holding Ling Shu's right arm, the latter immediately clapped her hands twice.
It was precisely at this moment, when Belle and Lily were completely bewildered...
"Whoosh~"
A petite figure leaped down from the rooftop.
As her little feet touched the ground, she seemed to lose her balance, swaying a few times before carefully adjusting the animal-eared hood on her head.
"Thank you for looking after the house, Zaoyou."
"Oh~ you're back~"
The sleepy-eyed little girl yawned, "Can I go back to sleep now?"
"no problem."
After a brief response, and following his heart's desire, the wind-elemental gengod before him directly dispelled his physical form.
Clearly, this was a backup plan that Ling Shu had arranged at the headquarters.
After all, he was confident that his recent high-profile actions would make him famous and attract more and more attention from outsiders.
And in that mixed group, what if some foolish individuals tried to 'steal our base'...
“Not only does Zaoyou possess healing abilities, but she also prefers to find a quiet place to sleep and doesn’t mind staying in one place all day long. Having her stay at the orphanage to protect Laiyi and the others is undoubtedly the most suitable option.”
Ling Shu had previously informed Xi'er and Maria's mother about this idea.
Now...
"Lord Ling Shu, who was that just now?"
"Zaoyou, one of the Anemo Genshin Impact characters."
"!"
The brief answer immediately surprised Lily.
You should know that news about the [Twin Stars] and the 'Genshin Impact' magic... has already spread throughout the entire Netherworld as their 'savior hero'.
Even Bell, who came from a rural background, had heard rumors about this.
but……
"Can Lord Ling Shu also summon 'Genshin Impact'?"
The little girl said in surprise, "Although Lily knows that you have a private relationship with the [Twin Stars], this..."
"Let's go inside and talk about some things."
Ling Shu waved his hand casually, "It just so happens that this is your first time joining the group, and there are some confidential matters within the faction that you should also learn about."
At this point, Ling Shu and Xi'er had already pushed open the door and entered the abandoned church.
Now, Ling Shu himself has renovated the place with the materials he found.
Although it still falls into the category of 'old building' from the outside, at least it no longer leaks wind and rain.
Ling Shu also specially erected extremely high beams inside the room.
On the one hand, this thing can effectively strengthen the overall structural stability of the current building.
on the other hand……
During the day, Zaoyou would curl up inside her favorite Daruma doll, hugging her knees and squatting on the eaves to sleep.
In the event of an emergency, this ninja from the Inazuma 'Final Battle' will immediately become alert and take action.
And now, in the evening...
“After we came back, it was like a ‘shift’.”
Today, because everyone had a chance encounter with Loki's Familia at the 'Abundant Mistress' tavern and returned rather late, Maria's mother and Ray, along with more than twenty other children, had already gone back to their rooms to sleep.
To avoid disturbing others, Ling Shu directly brought Bell, Lily, and Seele to his room.
"There are still some empty rooms in the camp. I'll take you there later."
"Now, let me explain some things you need to know."
Bell and Lily sat upright.
Ling Shu and Xi'er sat on the edge of the bed. The former said frankly, "First of all, as you can see, this is an orphanage without formal operating qualifications. In addition to Xi'er (Frigga) and me, there is a respectable lady named Maria Mathilde. She has adopted more than 20 children and formed this big family."
"Now that you have joined the Frigga Familia, you must take on the responsibility of protecting your 'family' from now on."
"besides……"
Ling Shu carefully reminded them, "Don't look at those children with pity. They are very happy now. Unwarranted sympathy is actually a form of arrogance and a disguised form of harm."
"Did you remember?"
"Yes, Lord Ling Shu."
Belle and Lily quickly responded.
immediately……
"The second thing."
Ling Shu raised his right hand, pointing his index and middle fingers. "This is a core secret of our clan. After you hear this, you are not allowed to spread it."
Seeing Belle and Lily both nod...
"I possess a very special skill. With it, I can not only easily see through what kind of [skills] and [magic] other adventurers possess, but also gradually 'learn' them all."
"!"
Lily looked surprised again.
Bell... now that he knew very little about adventurers, he wasn't really surprised because he didn't understand them to begin with.
But even so...
"He really is just like the 'Magic King'."
A naive young boy, yearning for heroes, uttered this remark.
"So, Lord Ling Shu has even learned 'Genshin Impact'."
"Furthermore, did you already know that Lily possessed 'transformation magic' when you first met her?"
Lily cautiously asked a question.
Upon hearing this…
"I do know."
Ling Shu frankly replied, "I divided the 'mystery level' into nine grades, from low to high, based on the different 'learning difficulty (actually, the level of favorability)'." (PS: I'm temporarily concealing the divine power that can analyze the 'tenth level'.)
"Curly, Lily's 'Cinderella' magic is a 'mystery level 4' ability, which is quite rare."
"However..."
He turned to look at Bell, "Over here... uh oh~"
Halfway through his sentence, Ling Shu felt a pinch on his waist, which made his voice go off-key.
It was clearly Seele, sitting next to him, who was 'reminding' him not to reveal certain important information casually.
