Wrong, my skills refresh every week

"I'll stay in Orario."

"Oh~~, I thought you would go to that kid. Aren't you afraid that the old man will lead him astray?"

"..." Alfia was silent for a moment, then stepped on the Chardo boots in anger: "Then you go and watch over that old man for me!"

"Why me?!" Chardo wailed.

Charles was also very surprised: "Hey, aren't you going to look for Bell?"

Alfia's ears turned red, and she complained coldly: "I... in this state, what identity should I use to meet that child? Sister?"

Bell is seven years old now, and should be around 110-124cm tall.

Ciel imagined Alfia, who was not much taller than Bell, and stared at Bell with full dignity, his arms crossed:

'I am your long-lost aunt. Be good! I will take care of you from now on.'

or……

"I am your sister who is living away from home..."

“Pfft, Alfia, you can never say anything about being a big sister!”

Unusual laughter rang out between the two men.

"Boom-"

"Be careful or I'll hit you on the forehead!" Alfia raised his knife and slashed.

"Wow, you already played it!" Charles wailed, holding his crown.

Alfia stared at the two men, one big and one small, with red heads with full dignity, and turned her head and said:

"Anyway, I will never let my sister's child call me sister. I also don't want to be someone else's mother with this immature look."

"If you act like this when you first meet someone, you'll definitely be considered a weirdo."

The awkward face issue from the elders unfolded between the three people.

There was another reason that Alfia didn't say explicitly, which was that she still wanted to climb to the top.

She is only at level 3, but unlike Chardo, she has infinite potential. If she can reach level 6 in seven years, she can even recover to level 7.

So taking into account the accumulated potential and real strength, I should be able to reach the threshold of level 9.

Reaching level 7 in seven years might be impossible for others, but for Alfia, it was just a goal that had already been achieved once.

She became an adventurer at the age of 7, and at the age of 14, she reached level 7 and defeated Leviathan.

Rather than taking care of him temporarily, it would be better to compensate him with a peaceful world in the future.

"So, Chardo. Look after the child for me," Alfia ordered.

"Alas, another life of hard work." Chardo sighed helplessly: "Anyway, I also want to go see that old man Zeus, so I'll take some time to go over there."

But in Chardo's eyes, there may be other reasons why Alfia doesn't want to leave Orario, which she herself may not have realized.

Haha, at the beginning, Metluya also chased after that little rabbit devil all the way, and only stopped after she got what she wanted.

……

The harbor whistle sounded.

The merchants united by the dark faction took Chardo and sailed towards a village in the distance.

Ciel stopped waving goodbye and gently took Alfea's hand.

"Are you really not going to visit that child? Won't you feel lonely?"

Alfia's fingers trembled slightly, but she did not break free. She pretended to be calm and said, "At least not now. Wait until this body matures a little. In two years..., no less than three years..."

"Isn't it because you can't bear to leave me? In fact, we can go together."

"What are you thinking about?" Alfia pulled her hand back and turned away.

The sea breeze blew her hair, revealing her slightly reddish ears.

Charles stood there in fascination.

Who in the family understands?

The ice queen who usually keeps her word, once she is taken down, reveals a gentleness and shyness that is completely opposite to her personality and is only shown to you. No matter how many times you experience it, you can't resist it.

A huge sense of accomplishment grows and permeates in my heart.

"Hehe..." Charles couldn't help but laugh foolishly.

"What are you doing in a daze?!"

On the deserted harbor, the witch, wearing the golden morning veil brought by the morning sun, covered her flying gray hair and called out with her eyes bent:

"Hurry up and go. Noise level 2! There are countless battles waiting for you in the future! I won't allow you to be lazy now!"

"Am I really a noise?" Charles hurried to catch up.

"Humph, if you want to play a melodious tune, you have to transcend life and death at least three hundred times."

Chapter 240 A new beginning, a new big brother.

The port city of Melun.

Bathed in the sea breeze, Ciel and Alfia, wearing a gray cloak, stepped into the trading area they had visited last time.

It’s different from the last time when the whole city was undercover.

With the defeat of the Dark Faction, merchants and speculators withdrew their investments and drove their cargo ships to temporarily avoid the edge of Orario.

It won't be long before Orario recovers from the shock and they will take the time to investigate the situation in the port city.

Of course, this is not absolute.

In view of the exposure of the artificial maze, many remaining followers of the dark faction changed their base and temporarily settled in the cheap alleys of the port city.

When Charles passed under a stone bridge, a surprised voice sounded from above:

"Isn't this Ciel-kun?"

He was a brown-skinned, bare-chested male god with huge Buddhist beads hanging on his chest. He had heavy makeup on his face, purple eyeshadow and pink lipstick, which gave him an unusually charming look.

He leaned on the stone bridge, holding a wine gourd in his hand, rubbing his eyes in confusion, and then jumped down in surprise.

"I heard that you died in the dungeon. When I heard the news, I was deeply saddened the entire night."

"Uh... Lord Rudra?" Ciel asked tentatively.

"Hey, don't call me sir, aren't we brothers?!" Rudra hooked his arm around Charles' shoulders enthusiastically.

"Brothers?" Charles teased.

"Oh, naughty boy, what brothers?!" Rudra knew what Xia Er meant, and said stubbornly, "We are friends who have risked our lives for each other. It's different!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chill rose behind him.

He turned around in surprise and looked down to see a round, white chin: "Who is this?"

"my friend."

A dissatisfied look pierced the back of Ciel's head.

Fortunately, Rudra clapped his hands, pointed at Alfia and said, "Sister-in-law! It's sister-in-law, right!"

The murderous aura disappeared.

The pearly teeth exposed to the air gently bit the lips.

"Alas, that's where you're wrong, brother. Be more generous when you go out. I won't steal your people."

Rudra lowered his voice and whispered in Ciel's ear, "Brother knows about the fox girl, keep it a secret!"

He patted Charles on the chest and then got down to business:

"Erebus is dead. Do you have an ideal place to go now? If you don't mind, you can stay with me for a while."

You want to be my godfather too?

Charles was slightly surprised. Although he had thought of letting Rudra take over before, he didn't expect that he would come to him on his own initiative.

When something is unusual, there must be something wrong.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Charles asked tentatively.

Rudra rubbed his nose and said, "Hehe, I am dissatisfied, brother. After this war, most of the clans in the dark faction suffered heavy losses, including Alecto and Apat. The senior cadres were almost wiped out."

"I, your brother, have gathered many remnants of other clans. The kid Jhara has also risen to level 4, which means he is neither too big nor too small. He can now be one of the top factions."

"If Joker joins, our clan will be even more powerful. We won't have to worry about Finn and the others at all. We can rest easy!"

"Joker is dead, now there is only Charles." Charles reminded.

"Ha, hahahaha." Rudra was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Yes! Joker is dead! Then Ciel, are you willing to join my family and become my child?"

Ciel recalls the composition of Rudra’s clan.

This is the family of animal trainers led by [Slave Cat] Jhara.

The main way to gain combat power is to tame monsters and drive them to fight. In addition to helping the [Ikeros Family] sell monsters to the outside world, they also collect some slaves outside the city and bring them back to the city for sale.

Well, there are several benefits of joining the Rudra clan.

1. After the demise of Ishtar's clan, Haruhime's destination, under the premise that slave trade was prohibited in the city, was undoubtedly the Rudra clan.

2. You can easily obtain the [Beast Taming Whip] and [Collar] made by the dark faction sorcerer that can drive monsters.

In the Great Struggle, they showed their achievements in binding the lv5 level red dragon battle. In the future, that kind of collar tried to capture Zagnath, and it did succeed.

What is this thing in Charles' eyes?

That's a real palu ball! I don't need to say more about what it can do, right?

3. The Rudra clan is now one of the strongest forces in the dark faction. If Tina is allowed to join the faction, it can be on par with Valetta and occupy the artificial maze reasonably.

With the right to garrison the artificial maze, Charles can launch a series of new plans.

This requires mentioning the partial divine power gained by killing Erebus.

Because he borrowed the effect of the magic of transforming into a god [Vanasel], and because the God Slayer absorbed the light particles that Erebus voluntarily bestowed on him, he obtained the [Divine Power] from the original underworld.

[Soul Cage]

Ciel can use his own blood to create his own underworld in a certain area.

The souls of those who die within the realm of Hades will be forever bound to their corpses.

……

In other words, once Charles gains control of the artificial maze, he can start transforming it into a real dungeon!

A "land of trials" where one can repeat endlessly without fear of death.

He wanted to build a dungeon with a natural ecology, like the one in "Labyrinth Fan". While preventing Finn from conquering the artificial maze, he could also achieve the goal of taming the dark faction's combat power.

But to achieve this goal, there is still a key factor missing...

The regeneration of monsters and the circulation of resources.

The solution has already been figured out.

That is the abnormal existence that can create new monsters and even change the dungeon - the Fallen Fairy.

And this..., in next year's [Nightmare Level 27], after the monsters and tentacles are born, we can start to arrange it.

……

Ciel quickly recalled his future plans in his mind and found that joining the Rudra clan was indeed a good choice.

So, in response to Rudra's sincere invitation, Charles raised his hand and high-fived without hesitation:

"Then big brother, please give me more guidance in the future!"

"Hahaha, good!"
