Wrong, my skills refresh every week

"Oh." Bohm's eyes lit up: "Have you found a craftsman who can forge dragon scales?"

"Not yet, but I found a way to use it." Ciel patted Pochi and Alpha who were following behind him.

His beard curled up and his mouth opened: "Hey, that kid is..."

"Oh. Alpha, come and call grandpa." Charles waved his hand, and Alpha greeted him obediently.

Bohm's eyes widened, and he took a long time to catch his breath: "I didn't expect you to succeed!"

His face became visibly kind: "You want dragon scales, right? Wait, I'll get them for you."

The two re-entered Bohm's private warehouse, and Charles soon saw the dragon scales again. He processed some of the materials stored on Bochi and gave them to Bohm, and replaced them with a giant shield of a peculiar style.

"This is a good thing. I heard it's a replica of a divine weapon of Zeus's family. It can absorb and record a spell that touches it. The disadvantage is that the material of the shield itself is very poor and can't withstand strong impacts. It's difficult to fight with it. The number of uses is also limited."

Bohm remembered the name: "It seems to be called the Shield of Equis."

A one-time mind steal? Oh boy!

Ciel wasn't sure whether there was an adventurer in Zeus's clan who had awakened abilities similar to his, or whether there were monsters with similar copy magic properties below the 61st floor.

But Charles himself knew very well how terrifying this ability was.

Without hesitation, he handed the replica of the [Kratos Shield] and the Black Dragon Scale to Pochi. After bidding farewell to Bom and returning to the church, Ciel checked Pochi's condition.

After a full-throated bear roar, a layer of black scales crawled on Pochi's limbs, his claws shone black, arcs of lightning flashed between his fur, and his size increased by three times.

"Good guy!"

The Shield of Equis stole Alpha's magic [Ball Lightning].

The item is in Pochi's item column and is integrated with Pochi's body. The wear and tear of the equipment when using the item is borne by Pochi himself. The Shield of Equis, which originally had a limited number of uses, can now be used multiple times.

The black dragon scales gave him super strong resistance to magic and physics, and added the special ability of [self-regeneration]. Charles guessed that it should also have a certain [God's Assassin] effect, immune to divine power!

The remaining ten throwing knives made from the flying dragon claws enhanced Pochi's offensive power.

Even if Pochi is only level 1 now, with the help of the set of equipment, if you can't penetrate the black dragon's scales, you can't penetrate Pochi's armor!

Looking at the majestic Pochi bathed in lightning, Lily almost drooled: "Master Ciel, is this Lily's new mount?"

"Hmm? Want to try?" Ciel said with a wicked smile, "If you want, you'll have to earn enough magic stones to feed Pochi. It has a big appetite!"

Lily's eyes sparkled, and she rubbed her little face against Pochi's big head: "Ah, I will work hard! I will earn enough magic stones for Pochi!"

"I'm asking you to hunt monsters properly."

Ciel was very happy to find a power player for Pochi. With simple training, Pochi could be upgraded to level 2. With Lily's spearmanship, he could at least reach level 4. The only weak link among the members now was probably Cassandra.

However, Charles was already prepared. He gave the [Unjust Staff] he brought from the Dark Faction to Cassandra. As long as he recalled those [puppets of the Osiris family], he would instantly have 10 level 5 combat forces.

With Orange and the big fairy Alpha around, those unconscious little fairies should cooperate as much as possible and there will be no need for any adjustments.

For all these, we still need to wait for information from the dark faction.

……

Didn't have to wait too long.

Alfia had also returned to the church. She was only stunned for a moment by the changes in the church and did not say much.

"The dark factions have all retreated back to the harbor for the time being. Belle seems to be very active recently. It is said that she has cooperated with Finn to capture several evil gods."

Alfia briefly described Finn's recent offensive strategy and the dark faction's response.

"Isn't this an empty city plan? How could Finn fall for this?" Charles' expression was very strange: "No, could it be that Valetta gave him a different feeling, so he became cautious?"

"That guy is really praising Valetta! He is indeed a despicable Parum."

Charles recalled that Finn was always smiling every time he saw Valetta, and was even in the mood to make jokes. He couldn't help but pay homage to this kind-hearted brave man.

Without hesitation, they sacrificed civilians and adventurers for the sake of the greater good. Tsk tsk, such decisions will continue to be made in the future.

Unfortunately, you don't have the final say in the future.

When the two were discussing how to go to the next level in the Seven Days of Death, there was an unexpected knock on the door. Alfia returned to the room temporarily, and Charles patted his face, put on a harmless expression and opened the door.

"Ah. Are you Charles?" A blond man wearing a traveler's hat appeared at the door. He looked at Charles with a half-smile:

"Come with me, Jester wants to see you one last time."

Chapter 159 Belle's Final Request

Is it that time yet?

Belle's existence depends on how long she can last without falling asleep.

In the first week, although Ciel was in charge of the class, it did not cause her too much burden. However, in the second and third weeks, she did not have this privilege.

All in all, Belle hasn't slept for nearly 19 days and has been maintaining a high-intensity fighting state.

Charles glanced at the room secretly, thinking that Alfia would want to take one last look at Belle. Until he heard a sound of breaking air from the windowsill, he nodded calmly:

"Ok."

Following the male god Hermes, they headed towards Daedalus Street. On the way, this "promising young man" who gave people the impression of "singing, dancing, and repping" was always testing something intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey, how did Ciel-kun know Jester?"

"It was a beautiful encounter. In the rain of flowers, I saw her at a loss."

"What is your relationship? She seems to trust you?"

"Supporter."

"Jester should have told you a lot of information, right?"

"One hundred million points."

Hermes narrowed his eyes and lowered his hat: "So, the sudden involvement of the Soma clan in the "fireworks" business is also a benefit to Jester?"

"No, that was my idea," Charles admitted.

"Oh? Why?"

"because……"

Charles hadn't answered yet.

On the corner of the street, a black-haired man named Erlen, who was wearing shabby clothes and looked harmless, exclaimed: "Ah~~ My wallet! All the wealth of the despicable god worth 666 fari."

Hermes stopped and shifted his gaze from Charles to the friend god who suddenly screamed. He was an unlucky man whose wallet was stolen.

Two shadows, one green and one gray, flashed by.

Soon, the criminal was brought to justice, and Liu and Adi escorted the criminal back to the male god.

"Sorry, Charles-kun, it's in the underground waterway ahead. Can you get there by yourself?" Hermes said, jumped onto the eaves in two steps, and left towards the center of the commotion.

Ciel shrugged. Erebus had already begun questioning justice, and the plot officially entered its prologue.

Without disturbing Hermes from reminiscing about the past with his old friend, he turned and disappeared into the alley.

After walking around, Charles soon found the entrance to the underground sewer that Hermes mentioned. In a corner, he saw Belle leaning against the wall, her whole body glowing.

"You're back? That's great. I get to see you again, Charles."

"You specifically asked Hermes, the errand boy, to inform me. Is there anything you want to arrange after your death?" Charles' expression was not very friendly.

"Ah, sorry. I didn't tell Lord Hermes about you, Ciel."

Belle smiled, the heavy dark circles under her eyes made her mind a little confused, but she still remembered what happened in the Astraea family.

"I've almost reached my limit. But there's still a lot to do..."

"You want me to help you?"

"We agreed that you would take over my identity and complete my unfinished mission." Belle forced a smile, her eyelids gradually starting to droop.

"I'm really useless. Even though I know the future, I couldn't accomplish anything without your help, Ciel. I couldn't find Jalla, nor could I completely defeat the An Faction and stop the Great Rebellion."

Ciel consoled him, "You have captured several evil gods, and the Dark Faction's military strength has been much weaker than it was during your time. You have also joined forces with Astraea and Finn to organize several attacks, and the results have been fruitful enough."

"But I haven't broken through the man-made maze yet. It's still too much for one person." Belle smiled, she opened her eyelids and looked at Charles:

"I know that Alfia and you are deliberately hiding something from me. I also remember that Alfia's mother once seemed to say that she wanted to become "evil" or something like that."

Belle reached out and grabbed Ciel's sleeve, "Hey, Ciel. Are we friends?"

"Of course." Charles nodded.

"Well. Although I don't know what you are planning, can the ending make everyone laugh?" Belle said with anticipation in her eyes.

"Laughing? Sorry, I don't understand what level of goal it is. Too broad."

Belle closed her eyes and resisted the urge to sleep: "I have always been helped by others, so I really want everyone to gather together happily and let everyone hear me say thank you."

"Ms. Liu, Xier, Mr. Ota, Mr. Finn... Aissan... Mr. Borus... I hope everyone can smile."

"Also, I hope that Alfia-san can survive, and Artemis-sama..., Alyssa-san, Adis-san..., ah, remember to tell Lus-san that justice is cyclical..., and..."

Belle told Charles about her regrets and goals one by one.

Ciel closed one eye and said, "You are quite greedy."

"Gosh..." Belle smiled weakly, using her last bit of strength to look at Charles:

"May I?"

"I'm not as gentle as you, and I can't guarantee the process. But...for Alfia's sake, I'll try my best to satisfy your wishes in terms of the results."

"It's not because of our friendship, but because of Alfia's mother?" Belle laughed and complained: "That's enough... Ah, it's almost time..."

"Then... Mr. Joker." Belle slowly raised her fist: "Then I'll leave it to you, Aibo."

"Ah...see you again if we're lucky enough, Miss Jester." Charles stretched out his fist and pressed it against Belle's.

At the moment of fist contact, Belle's body gradually became transparent and spread out like stars in the sky. A dreamy thumb-sized object fell into Charles' hand.

He was silent for a moment, carefully put away Belle's remains, picked up Belle's black robe and weapon on the ground, and put them on.

The red clown that brought laughter disappeared, and was replaced by a gray fool full of ambition.

A vortex of chaos flashed in the sky, and the world's memory was repaired. Belle's appearance was completely blurred, and except for the gods, the only thing left in everyone's memory was the name Jester.

"Don't you want her to see you for the last time?" Charles turned his head and looked towards the shadows, wearing a mask.

"No, being too attached to your mother won't do her any good. It will only encourage her weakness."

“So strict.”

Alfia had a very strange expression on her face. The moment Belle disappeared, all her memories of being with Belle were being replaced by the little one in front of her. She covered her head...

"Hmm...it was indeed a dream."

"What's wrong? What's wrong? The way Alfia looked at me was full of maternal love. Could it be that she mistook me for Belle?"

"Go away. I... won't make such a low-level mistake." Alfia rubbed his brows: "You are just noise."

"But your body doesn't feel that way." Ciel held Alfia's hand in a mean way.

If it were in the past, she would have gotten over it long ago.

My guess was confirmed, and then the interesting story began.

I wonder how the people would react when they knew that the hero who had always protected them suddenly joined the enemy camp?

Ah... No, the "absolute evil" that is in his hands is actually a partner of justice. Will those guys in the dark faction collapse?

Chapter 160 Why are you wearing Belle's clothes?

After Belle fell asleep, Charles did not stay to wait for Hermes, but left the sewer with Alfia.

Hermes arrived shortly after they left.

Chatting with old friends took up a lot of his time. Although he obtained a lot of useful information, there are still many mysteries that have not been solved.

"Disappeared?"

He stood there, looked around, and then clapped his hands.

Invisible ripples spread in the air, and a girl with short blue hair, wearing silver-rimmed glasses and with fatigue in her eyes, slowly emerged.
