Wrong, my skills refresh every week

Charles paused in his action of eating noodles.

"Hmm? Why do I hear a strong Tianjin accent? That's not possible? Rocky has an Osaka accent? So... people from Kansai are more suitable for crosstalk, is this not a rumor?"

Charles sat on a small stool, crossed his legs, and continued to eat noodles with his head down. He did not forget to take out oranges from his arms and share them with his companions around him.

An elf with black hair and red eyes beside him was staring at the orange in his hand in a daze. He seemed to find Charles' behavior very interesting, so he followed suit and borrowed a small stool from a nearby resident's house. He ate an orange and watched the fun.

……

On the high platform.

"According to my thousands of years of professional criminal investigation and crime solving experience, criminals always return to the crime scene to enjoy their work!"

Loki burped, then suddenly stepped on the stone window with one foot and pointed at a corner of the crowd: "It's you! Hiccup! The criminal is you! The one who ate the orange!"

Charles shuddered, stopped eating noodles, and started coughing violently.

In just a few minutes, no less than 30 adventurers eating oranges had gathered around Charles.

"No way, is this even possible?" Charles muttered. Fortunately, he had dispersed his targets.

When he looked up again, his eyes met with the upside-down Ai Si.

Charles: You betrayed me?

Ai Si: No!

at this time……

A thick palm landed on Charles' shoulder, and he shuddered.

"What? Are you feeling guilty?" Chanis's glasses reflecting the sunset appeared in his field of vision: "I've been looking for you for a long time. Come with me."

Charles heaved a sigh of relief and followed Chanis obediently away from the crowd, leaving only a familiar and solid back view to the adventurer eating oranges.

After a pause, he looked back at Loki.

At this moment, she took a big sip from the wine jar, and suddenly laughed out loud:

"ALL S! In just a few days, Miss Aisi's ability value has increased from B to all S, and she has completed the upgrade! Now she is level 3!!!"

"Who on earth is it?! We must kill that bastard who is leading our sweetheart to seek death, ahhhhhhh!"

"Shut up! Loki! This is a clan secret!"

The crowd watching the excitement suddenly became quiet.

Hey!

I thought it was fun to watch, but it turned out to be showing off?! Damn, I was tricked!

Ciel blinked his eyes in a silly way: "Ah... this?"

"Don't be in a daze. That idiot god is drunk and acting crazy." Chanis dragged Charles away from the crowd quickly.

In a secluded alley, Chanis looked down at Charles and said, "Tell me, what have you done these past few days? Do you know how much trouble this has brought to the clan?"

Tzanis looked Ciel up and down.

Ciel triggered a conditioned reflex:

"Brother, you know me well."

"I am loyal to my family and have been working hard for Lord Rudra's great plan these past few days. I will never cause any trouble!"

"Hmm?" Chanis's expression changed:

"You said you were working for the evil god?"

Charles' expression became serious. "I am sacrificing my life for the great rejuvenation of my clan. Big brother... is there someone whispering in your ears?"

Chanis stared at Charles suspiciously.

A few days ago, Loki angrily led [Zhongjie] into the clan, and Chanis thought his plan was exposed, so he ran away. It is said that Loki left with a few bottles of semi-finished divine wine for sale.

Later, the younger brothers gathered information and found out that there were supporters from the clan who tricked "Sword Princess" into entering the dangerous floor.

Chanis thought about it and decided that Charles was probably the only one in his family who had the courage to do this.

This guy has been acting very weird lately. If anything strange happens, it must be him.

"Charlie-kun, you're right. I know you. That's why I came to ask you."

"Hmm? Big brother, with my strength, if I go to a floor where Sword Princess is active, wouldn't it be death?" Charles said sincerely.

"Sword Princess? I'm not talking about Loki's family... Can you explain what happened to Lady Freya?" Chanis asked curiously, thinking to himself, "Sword Princess's case is really related to you?"

He wanted to take this opportunity to test Charles's background.

"Hmm? Freya?" This time he was not acting, and Charles' eyes were filled with clear stupidity.

"You do not know?"

Ciel's reaction was too smooth. It was hard to fake the confusion that comes from being overwhelmed by the huge amount of information.

"Should I...know...??"

"After you left the base that day, Freya went to the clan to ask for you. You also said that you had no relationship with Lady Freya."

Charles stroked his chin and said, "Brother, you know me well. If you must give me a possibility, it would be..."

"What is that?" demanded Tzanis.

Ciel coughed, took out his hair gel hand, and combed his hair into a big backcomb: "I'm so handsome! Even the goddess of beauty would fall for my handsome looks! Ah! My charm that has nowhere to go!"

Chanis: “…”

Are you a little too narcissistic?

Charles looked up at the sky, and said with anticipation, "When do you think Lady Freya will come to pick me up? How much will the betrothal gift be?"

Chanis: "Get lost!"

"okay!"

Chanis closed his eyes and thought.

According to Ciel's reaction, he really didn't know about Freya's affairs, which was exactly what I wanted. But Loki's family? Could this guy really hook up with the "Sword Princess"?

Could it be that his ability is really "charm"?

No, that's not right. How could the real criminal be so bold as to return to the crime scene to eat melons? Aren't they afraid of being caught by Loki on the spot?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

But...if it's not this guy, then who could it be?

There is someone who keeps causing trouble for the clan... for me! Supporter... Supporter? No, the one who can go deep into the maze with Sword Princess is not necessarily the supporter in my stereotype.

So, it’s Chandra, the drunkard dwarf who’s always been mad at me?

Or is he a usurper who is secretly eyeing my position as the leader? An ambitious person?

Humph, there is a rat in the clan... No matter who you are, I will find you out!

But, before that...

"Hey, come back!"

"Okay, big brother, please talk to me if you have something to say."

Chanis pushed his glasses up. "You said... you have been working for Lord Rudra this week? How is the response over there?"

Upon hearing this, Charles immediately said excitedly: "Lord Chanis, let me tell you a secret."

"Ok?"

"If Lady Freya values ​​me, we can persuade Freya's family to rebel." Charles was beaming with joy, immersed in a beautiful fantasy:

"Plus, now... the harbor is full of people from the secret faction! Orario... has been surrounded! If we instigate Freya's family to rebel, we can just wait for Lord Rudra to wave his hand, and you, brother, can wave the flag and shout, and offer gifts of surrender, then... this huge cake of Orario will definitely have a share for us!"

Ciel spread his arms and bent his legs: "Surprise! Brother! Are you happy or not!"

"happy!"

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Uh-huh? !

Chanis subconsciously wanted to laugh along with Charles, but suddenly a chill ran down his spine: "You...what did you say? The port has been occupied by the dark faction?!"

Chapter 51 Without you, the clan will be finished!

Chanis was horrified, his legs trembling, and he was thinking of packing up and running away immediately.

Although he had some strength in the Soma clan, he only relied on his cleverness to sneak attack the original substitute for the leader and took advantage of the situation to get to the top.

Before Chanis, according to the Soma clan's management model, the position of leader had always been rotated. In some cases, one would be forced to resign within three days of taking the position because of being too aggressive in exploring the maze.

For this reason, Chanis came up with the idea of ​​using the magic wine to control his clan. This would not only suppress Old Six who was always thinking of replacing him, but also allow him to use other people to meet Soma's wine-making funding needs and satisfy his own desires.

at the moment……

"Such important news, are we allowed to hear it?"

Chanis put his hands on Charles' shoulders and seemed to notice that he had grown a lot taller, but that didn't matter at this point.

Xia Er nodded heavily: "This is Lord Rudra's trust in us, brother! We must not let Lord Rudra down!"

A basin of cold water poured down over Chanis's head.

Yes, he has already joined the game. The method of running away with the money is not feasible. The sea route is full of their people, and it is hard to say about the land route, which may have been blocked long ago.

Chanis did not blame Charles. If it weren't for Charles, he would never have known such a horrifying plan.

This might be the largest attack since the Dark Faction came out. If they knew nothing, they would have died inexplicably. But after knowing everything, the choice was obvious.

Chanis forced a smile and said, "Little brother Charles, you are great. You are worthy of being my close brother and my good son. I, your godfather, am very pleased."

Ciel was overjoyed, his halberd ready to strike: "You are finally willing to be my godfather!"

"Since you told me such important information, it is enough to prove your loyalty to me. I think your original suggestion was good, and I agree."

Charles clasped his hands together and said, "Foster father, I accept..."

Chanis held his hands up in the air and said, "Hey, no need to be so polite. Let's just talk about our own affairs. Just continue to call me brother. Don't be too formal. The title of godfather always feels a bit awkward to me. It prevents me from picking up girls."

I didn’t really intend to kneel… Ciel complained:

"Yes, Yi...Brother!"

Charles was slightly disappointed: "A foster father is different from an elder brother. A person can have many elder brothers, but there can only be one foster father. As the saying goes... Once a teacher, always a teacher..."

"Ok?"

"I'm sorry, brother. I remembered it wrongly."

Charles was a little confused and almost said the classic line.

"Don't bother with your Far Eastern culture. It's not important." Chanis waved his hand and said, "I'm going to prepare for Lord Rudra's work now, but there is something more important that needs to be entrusted to you."

"Don't worry, big brother. Just tell me what's the matter." Charles looked serious and bowed his head.

"There are bad people in the clan. They always want to cause trouble for me and replace me. This is something I should investigate personally, but now I'm leaving it to you."

Chanis patted Charles on the shoulder and said, "We have the same secret, and you are the one I trust the most."

"Okay, big brother. No problem." Charles grinned, revealing his eight big white teeth. "You know me! I have the most experience in catching mice!"

Charles pursed his greasy lips and said, "Big brother, that...magic wine?"

Recalling Freya's words, Chanis patted Ciel on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, do your job well. You won't be left out."

……

The two returned to the clan, and Charles took the lead in asking Chanis to provide the divine wine.

Due to Freya's order, Chanis did not refuse and directly opened the room where the divine wine was stored.

"This is all the divine wine we have at the moment. This is the best way to get hold of something against those bastards."

"Can I use these divine wines at will?"
