Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

"Hmm—" Ais puffed out her cheeks: "Loki, I want to go to the dungeon too!"

thump—

The silver staff landed precisely and gracefully on the young girl's head.

"What nonsense are you spouting? With this body that's about to shatter at any moment, what grand words are you talking about?"

Rivera put on a stern face, crossed her arms, and suppressed the young girl's willfulness with an air of authority.

"Yes, yes, Aistan, you should just lie in bed and rest. Loki will take care of you personally."

At this moment, Raul, who had been out, arrived late. After bowing and apologizing several times, he led Charles and the others away from the stronghold.

“But…” Ais stared longingly and humiliatedly at Alpha, who blinked defiantly and turned to leave, then timidly glanced at the imposing madam.

“Dame is Dame!” Riveria opened one eye and looked at the indignant child, comforting him, “Once you’re healed, I can take you to the deeper training grounds.”

Ais had tears in her eyes and looked dejected.

While the deeper level was also good, she felt she wasn't growing as fast as when she was with Charles.

After all, both leaps in ability were related to Ciel. Now her ability level is close to C-rank and she is eligible to upgrade. If Loki hadn't forcibly suppressed her, she probably would have broken the record for the fastest upgrade from level 3 to level 4.

……

After calming down the stubborn Ais, Finn rummaged through the captain's room and quickly found information about Alpha in the documents that had been sent a few days earlier.

"The Storm Spirit, born from lightning?"

"Was this her first appearance as part of Ciel's escort mission? She was also very active during the Great Rebellion, providing support on many battlefields, and possesses 'Lightning-Enhancing Magic' similar to Ais's."

"But why has this kind of character only recently become famous? And at level 1 no less? The origins of his clan are also a mystery."

Finn keenly observed Alpha's problems.

Adventurers like Ais, with her looks and age, gained a certain reputation as soon as they registered, and level 1 was completely insufficient to match her achievements.

Finn licked his thumb...

Is something being hidden?

Loki sat at the desk, his usual carefree demeanor gone, and asked with narrowed eyes and a tilt of his head:

"Shall we conduct a lie detector test?"

Finn shook his head:

"No, they are heroes who protect Orario, not criminals."

To avoid a crisis of trust among the adventurers, Finn did not have Loki conduct a lie detector test on the "noname" Familia, nor did he forcibly examine their Blessing abilities.

While doing so would quickly uncover the spies among the adventurers, it would also exacerbate the already confused state of the group of adventurers.

It would be a tremendous loss if nearly 100 adventurers who were about to ascend were pushed to the side of the Dark Faction.

"Moreover, undercover agents also have their own methods of utilization."

Finn's plan was to use these adventurers as neutral pawns that both sides could utilize.

All you need to do is identify a few particularly suspicious individuals, monitor them closely, and, if necessary, transmit some false intelligence.

He told Loki his thoughts and handed over the information containing Alpha's knowledge:

"What about her suspicion?"

Loki glanced at her briefly and chuckled, "The child is fine. We were paying special attention to her just now not to remind you."

"Ok?"

"Hehehe, I just found a good kid, so I couldn't resist." Loki's serious face broke down in an instant.

"After all, I never expected that a second child as special as Ais could appear. Ah—why wasn't I really there back then! I want her so badly, so badly, so badly!!!"

Loki hugged himself tightly...

"Double the energy of Ais, I wouldn't mind dying right now!"

Finn's mouth opened and closed as he gleaned the key information from Loki's excited words...

"You mean...that child is also a fairy?" Finn immediately connected it to [Silence] and [Gluttony]:

"Could it be that Zeus and Hera's kin brought something else out of the labyrinth?"

“Yes.” Loki’s expression changed. “So, don’t worry, fairies are a very simple race. They won’t have any bad children.”

……

Northwest Street, Guild Headquarters.

"Hello everyone, I'm Raul. For the next week, I will be your team leader, leading you to complete the various tasks assigned by the guild."

Raul introduced himself in a very serious manner...

"We will operate in the upper and middle levels and take on corresponding missions. Ah, don't worry, the commission will be split equally among everyone and will not be taken back by the Loki Familia."

Raul was also serving as captain for the first time, and apart from Charles, the team consisted entirely of young children, which made him feel immense pressure.

After leaving them to wait in the lobby, Raul squeezed alone into the notice board to look for a suitable mission for their adventure.

"A brilliant strategy, as expected of Lord Charles."

Fels's understated praise rang in my ears.

"Hmm?" Ciel stared in confusion at the black-haired loli who suddenly burst into a disgusting laugh.

Fels analyzed:

"You should be certain that Finn won't do anything to damage his reputation immediately after receiving the 'Feniana' reputation bonus."

"He actually only had two choices: either ignore it and let 'noname' develop in the shadows, or he would consolidate his forces and deliberately use the constant stream of excellent undercover agents to achieve his own tactical objectives."

"The option to sacrifice the entire 'noname' was cleverly manipulated by you, exploiting the weaknesses of the hero's personality."

“In this way, once Finn has sunk costs, he will be easily pulled into your rhythm and will never be able to get out.”

"This is also what you want to achieve: to establish yourself and grow strong in Orario as a neutral clan."

"

As Charles listened to Fels's analysis, three question marks suddenly popped into his head...

No, how come I don't know about this?

"No, why does this pattern seem a little familiar?"

Ciel unconsciously recalled his first elder brother, Gin.

Yes, that's right.

Fels's vision for the future of the entire "noname" clan is exactly the same as that of the "brewery".

The roles have been slightly reversed.

The undercover agents who were supposed to be righteous have turned into villains like Ciel. And the leader representing the absolute evil side has been replaced by Finn.

“According to Lord Charles’s plan, ‘Noname’ will incubate into a neutral organization that the whole world will be extremely wary of.” Fels trembled slightly, as if imagining the scene at that time.

But what Ciel saw was a completely different, tragic scene...

"I think I heard Finn telling me to catch mice..."

This is ridiculous! Even if you create a carry without a strong player, it can still be disastrous! ??

Charles stared at Fels with a complicated expression...

"You're so mean, sage."

Fels: "Hmm? This is all thanks to Lord Charles's great wisdom."

Chapter 257 Raul: My team is full of old Deng

"No, it's all the astonishing wisdom accumulated by the 'Sage' over 800 years! Truly worthy of the title 'Sage'."

Charles was very excited; he stared intently at Fels as if he had found a fun toy.

He doesn't dislike characters who are influenced by Di, but things get interesting when Ciel realizes you're influenced by Di.

When I interrupt your cult and then cult you in return, how should you respond?

"No, these all belong to Lord Charles..."

"No, it's yours! The whole plan was the work of 'The Fool.'"

Fels was silent for two seconds, then his mouth opened slightly wide...

Gaa————

Fels suddenly felt like a huge pot had been dumped on her head, making it hard to breathe. She felt she desperately needed to "force herself to calm down" and quell her turbulent emotions.

With her keen intellect, she quickly grasped Charles's meaning.

"You, you wouldn't want me to..."

"Yes, that's right!"

"As the former King of Bones, the 'Fool' who rebelled against the gods to avenge the shattering of the Philosopher's Stone, attempting to destroy the world! Pretty impressive, right, Spartacus! With your past, it wouldn't be right not to pull off a 'Bone of Sin Reigns Supreme' move."

"Sparashi... my foot!" The little black-haired girl's face fell.

"I am not capable of this responsibility. Lord Charles, you should..."

“No, you can do it, Fels! This is an order.”

"Goo-"

Fels lowered her head, and she couldn't help but wonder if this was another of Lord Charles's plans.

But what value do I have that can be utilized besides making magical items?

As Fels pondered, an image of an old god sitting regally on an altar unconsciously surfaced in his mind…

"Do you mean to pin all the blame on Uranus?"

"Hmm?" Charles leaned back tactically, giving a thumbs-up in a show of respect: "As expected of Lord Fool!"
