Wrong, my skills refresh every week

The sound turned into mist, like raindrops, embellishing Ciel's dreams.

"I like you the most (呆suki达哟)."

Chapter 297 Return

I don’t know how long I was in a coma.

When Ciel suddenly woke up from the dream of '呆suki', he didn't know how much time had passed.

His first reaction when he woke up was:

Oops, I forgot to use [Devour] to eat up the low-health Udaeus.

Then his eyes were diverted by the touch on his face.

There was a cover in front of him that prevented him from seeing the ceiling, and the fluorite light cast shadows of objects on his face.

"Awake? Lazy guy, you've been sleeping for two days." Alfia stroked Charles' face and combed his messy bangs.

"This is... a super rare knee pillow with no ceiling visible!" Ciel paused for breath.

"Ouch!" Before Charles could get excited, the slender fingers on his face turned into steel clamps and pulled him up.

"I went to cook as soon as I woke up. I was starving."

Surrounding them was the familiar main room of the floor, with countless monster corpses lying on the ground. They seemed to be the unlucky ones who were attracted by the magic stone fragments dropped by Udaeus and violated the Witch's Forbidden Zone.

Rimuru enjoyed the Udaeus feast all by himself and slumped aside to digest it.

Charles called Pochi, took out the kitchen utensils, and selected a few of the freshest werewolves to start cooking.

Prepare the ingredients and light a bonfire.

Charles always stole glances at Alfia intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey, did you say anything to me before I passed out?"

"what?"

"For example..., Xi..."

Alfia's eyes were covered with an eyepatch, so her current expression could not be seen clearly.

She rubbed Pochi's honest head and said lightly: "You heard it wrong."

"Oh." Charles was a little disappointed, but he glanced at Alfia curiously, as if he wanted to catch something wrong with this woman.

thump—

A stone hit Charles on the head.

"Cook seriously. Don't be sneaky."

"Oh~~" Charles muttered.

Damn it, how does this woman know I’m looking at her if she’s not looking at me?

Oh, observation, human radar, that’s all right.

After the meal was ready, the two of them sat around the campfire and ate quietly.

Charles saw a little blush under Alfia's eye mask, and he didn't know if it was caused by the fire.

"Well, we..."

"We what!" Alfia reacted a little intensely.

"I mean, what do we do after this? Go back to the surface?"

"Of course, the supplies are gone." Alfia seemed to be listening to something, and her body was covered with [Silent Eden] emitting undetectable fluctuations.

"Besides, I feel like quite a few people are heading this way. We estimate that they will run into us in an hour."

"who is it?"

You actually disturbed our life as a couple?!

"It seems to be Freya's group. They should be on an expedition." Alfia took out a handkerchief and wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth: "Their target should also include the floor owner. It's better to leave quickly."

Although Charles felt that Alfia was avoiding something, he did not expose it.

"Then pack up and go, Pochi, and take our spoils with you."

"Ouch~~"

Pochi stretched out his hand, put the black sword of Udaeus that was recovered by Alfia into the bag, carried the two of them, and quickly left the crime scene.

After a while, Ota and his men carrying double blades stepped into the lord's room.

Hedin pushed his glasses up in surprise, examining the campfire and the messy battlefield in front of him: "Finn and the others have been here?"

"No, that was not the damage caused by Finn." Ota squatted down and checked the corpses of the monsters that had not been dead for long.

Alan kicked away a crouching barbarian, whose mouth and nose were oozing blood, and whose eyes were wide open. He frowned, "This injury... how come it looks so much like the magic of that slow-witted person? Did she run into the maze alone?"

"Half a round? It shouldn't be possible for her to kill Udaeus alone." Alfric was confused.

Hegni looked around, hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Follow God's will, the journey is unknown, the time will come..."

"Okay, shut up. Hegni." Hedin interrupted the dark elf's speech with a serious expression:

"This wasn't done by our people. Even if it was you, Alan, you couldn't kill that monster alone. It could have been the work of a dark faction."

Although the maze has been repaired, the rubble on the ground proves that it has experienced a huge explosion.

This time they also received a commission from the guild to investigate the frequent vibrations coming from the lower level of the maze.

Du Hualin interrupted: "Is there anyone in the dark faction who can rival Ota?"

Ota narrowed his eyes and looked deep into the maze: "Don't forget that Chardo is not dead. At level 8, the most likely possibility is that he is hiding in the dungeon."

Alfric sighed softly: "But where are the supplies?"

Ota took a deep breath and said, "He has always lived by eating monsters."

Hedin's expression was solemn: "It seems that we have to be careful on this expedition."

Alan kicked the monster's body away with all his strength: "What are you afraid of? If we meet him again, we will kill him! We are all sublimated."

Ota remained silent.

Only when you reach level 7, you will know how big the gap is between level 6 and level 8, let alone level . Ota feels that just by accumulating the ability value to the maximum, it is enough to kill three of his current selves.

The four dwarf humans crushed the monsters on the ground, and moved forward nervously with solemn expressions, unconsciously slowing down their pace.

……

Man-made maze.

Ciel gave Udaeus's black sword to Haski, hoping to use the blacksmith of the dark faction to help make it into a weapon.

Charles looked at Hasqi's work with great interest. After a reluctant visit, he asked for six [collars] and then started to return to the ground.

The two men moved forward unsteadily in their Lambton, and in a remote tunnel, under the warm yellow light, they saw a cat-man covered in blood.

Charles came closer and saw, isn't this his eldest brother?

"Master Jaro, who hurt you like this?" Charles approached him and tried to test him, wondering if he should give him another blow so that he could inherit his position as the leader.

Jatra opened his eyelids and slowly got up: "Oh, sorry, I fell asleep suddenly."

"You are in a coma due to excessive blood loss."

"If I say you're asleep, then you're asleep." Jiji Luo was about to curse, but when he saw Charles take off his hood and mask and stare at him with a smile, the anger instantly disappeared from his face.

"It's your Excellency. You see, I didn't recognize you at first."

"What's going on?" Charles asked again.

Ja Luo said calmly: "Nothing, I was conducting an experiment and was accidentally affected by the Fire Stone. Fortunately, I came back alive."

"experiment?"

"Yes, you saw that monster during the decisive battle. If we can capture it and make it our strength, we won't have to fear the Brave Ones anymore!"

Charles' pupils shrank.

Good man, you are planning to summon the Destroyer now?

Charles asked, "It doesn't look like it's going well?"

Ja Luo laughed bitterly: "Not bad, I expect that if I repeat this experiment 30 more times, I will be able to master the technique of summoning that thing."

Charles became more and more suspicious, thinking that Jalo definitely had the skill to fight against death.

Otherwise, with his current operation, he would never succeed without approaching death forty or fifty times.

Ciel took out a bottle of "coconut milk" from his [Nika Pocket], patted Jalla on the shoulder and consoled him: "When you succeed, let me see it, brother."

"Of course."

Chapter 298: Jatra's Glorious Past

Charles learned a lot from Jhara about the recent developments of the dark faction, including the plan to gather a large number of middle and lower level monsters and implement a large-scale monster delivery.

Because of Charles's intervention, the scale of Ikeros's monster capture and "collar" production is expanding. It is estimated that it will not be long before Valeta will think about counterattacking.

I just don't know if she will learn her lesson. It's not easy to convince others if she always brings people to send them off. Besides, there are not many people in the secret faction who can fight.

Ciel smiled and waved goodbye to his elder brother, then restrained his expression.

"What are you keeping him for? You should have already got the key you mentioned," Alfia said puzzled.

Charles flipped over the snake and chuckled, "Everyone has his own value. Look, he can survive the explosions that caused the floors to collapse again and again. Isn't he very capable?"

"If you keep working hard, you can become level 5 in a few years, which is much better than Valetta."

Jhara is a beast tamer. When he reaches level 5, it means that he will capture more monsters beyond level 5, which is of great value.

Unfortunately, Ciel didn't think he would live to see that day.

Before long, he will be the only one who can take on the leading role in this huge secret faction.

……

Follow the same path you came from and return to the ground.

After completing the handover with Lily, Ciel did not rush back to the Loki clan. After three weeks of training and experiments at Ais' place, Ciel had obtained the data he wanted, and it was almost ready for implementation.

He first organized and bound the data compiled by Lily into a simple training manual.

He brought the manual to Maria Orphanage and gave it to Mother Maria, who had adopted many orphans.

Ciel suggested: "You don't need to worry about the children's food now. You can make arrangements so that they can receive education and exercise as early as possible. Even if they don't become adventurers, you can wait until the school district returns next year and let the children go to school in the district."

"School district..., can the children get in?" Mother Maria has a yearning in her heart. If the children can go to school in the school district when they grow up, she will probably wake up with a smile in her dreams.

The students in the school district are talents that are coveted by countries all over the world. As long as they graduate, they will have no worries about finding a job. Even if they don't want to fight, they can still find a position in a guild and live a worry-free life.

Xiaer recalled: "The school district's admission requirement is "curiosity for knowledge", which is impossible to achieve through hard work, but we can take the initiative to absorb more knowledge than our peers and use facts to tell them that we are more active than those half-baked ones!"

"In addition, there are combat courses in the school district. As long as you pass the entrance exam and have a strong foundation, you can enter the combat course to avoid lack of curiosity and lag behind others."

Maria's mother knew very well that although Charles was not a powerful adventurer, he was already a big shot. His vision and skills were naturally not something that she, a low-level person, could compare to.

It is impossible for anyone to tell these peasants such valuable life strategies.

"We can turn the orphanage into a school. I hope that when the school district returns for the second time in three years, a group of our graduates will be able to enroll successfully."

"For those who didn't pass the exam, I can also recruit them to work in my industry. You should have heard of the "supermarket" on West Street."

When Charles was talking to Maria's mother, he heard sporadic footsteps behind him, and then someone hugged his thighs from behind.

Looking down, I saw a pair of furry golden ears shaking gently.

"Lord Ciel~~" Haruhime raised her head shyly, her tail swaying.

Charles saw Astraea slowly approaching on the side of the street, and Iska waving at him.

"Oh huh? What a coincidence, busy man." Iska jumped to Ciel's side with full energy and picked up Haruhime from Ciel's feet: "Wow, don't run around."

"Ah~~ Lord Ciel!!" Haruhime stretched out her hands vigorously, trying to pull Ciel's clothes again.
