Danmaku, my skills refresh weekly.

Of the five random columns, three were related to the ability of "Seven Seven". In fact, in the previous random columns, Xia Er had also seen the same ability but did not pay attention to it. However, as the number of random columns increased, the number of "Seven" began to overlap.

"I'll probably have to use it properly to make it disappear from my panel... it's probably the legendary curse..."

Alfia carefully examined Ciel's abilities, and aside from the abilities that were hard to describe, she was very dissatisfied with the changes in Ciel's abilities.

"More than half a month has passed, and your ability value has only increased by a few points. Have you become a little lazy?"

And that was indeed the case. Apart from the 200 points of basic achievements absorbed from killing the god, Xia Er only gained a few dozen points in attributes.

But this aligns with the typical growth rate of adventurers.

What makes Alfia happy is the change in its development capabilities.

"The Godslayer truly lives up to its reputation as an overpowered ability. In your current state, to be able to push an ability to E-level is simply unbelievable."

[Divine Rune H] has reached [Divine Rune E] after the Godslayer +3 effect, which means that Sharl will be able to do more things through divine runes.

The numbering of "Runewords" created during the Great Conflict can be extended from 9 to 15!

Due to the fact that Fels didn't have many perfect magic gems to use for crafting runestone bases, the path to developing new equipment stalled on Fali.

Ciel leaned against Alfia, pointing to the [Sound-Sound Fruit] ability and said:

"Don't talk about me, look at this skill."

The Sound-Sound Fruit

·Continued mobilization

• A superhuman being who can make any sound with his body.

• People who cannot swim are afraid of seawater; their bodies become weak and powerless when they touch water.

……

“Make any sound?” Alfia keenly sensed something.

"Yes, I can use this skill to develop many sound-related abilities. You can try and see if you can replicate it!"

Devil Fruit abilities are based on the fantasies of humans from another world. This means that as long as Ciel's imagination fits the scope of the Sound-Sound Fruit, he can bypass the tedious period of verification and exploration and develop any move within the scope of his abilities.

Alfia could also use her talent to directly copy answers from Charles.

"Not bad." Alfia nodded slightly. "But are you sure you can develop a technique that suits my magic within seven days?"

Charles chuckled: "Take a look at this [Seventh Edict]."

[Seventh Edict]

• Restraint magic.

• You can issue a decree to yourself, and you will act according to the decree until it is completed.

• After completing the decree, the curse is lifted.

• If you are unable to complete the task, someone will hug you from behind and say, "I love you the most," and the decree will be successfully lifted.

……

"In short, once the [Seven Edicts] are activated, if I want to go and fight the Black Dragon right now, I will automatically go to Dragon Valley and fight to the death," Sharl explained.

"But what's the use?"

"Don't you understand? This is an AFK skill. No matter what I do or think, my body will act according to my commands," Xia Er said.

"For example, I set myself a task to develop an ability. My body will instinctively use the characteristics of the Sound-Sound Fruit to develop the ability, while my brain can use another way of thinking to judge which ability is feasible and advance the development process."

"This is not as simple as one plus one."

Additionally, [Flexibility Gymnastics] is an exercise that can increase your body's flexibility. By performing a specific exercise, you can gradually increase your dexterity.

The Seven Treasures is a magical manual containing information on 'brain training' and 'methods to enhance memory'.

Using them simultaneously can significantly accelerate the development process.

Ciel wondered if recording the techniques of "Flexibility Gymnastics" and "The Seven Treasures" could serve as a training method to improve magical power and dexterity.

After receiving an explanation from Charles, Alfia understood his plan, but...

"Can you leave? What about Loki...?"

"It's alright, you're more important. Let Lily handle the others," Charles said with a wicked grin.

……

The next day, before dawn.

Outside the Loki Familia.

Liu, dressed in neat shorts and a t-shirt, with her ponytail tied up, arrived at the gate with a wooden sword in her hand to wait. In her mind, Xia Er always brought people out for morning exercise, so there was no need to bother others.

She closed her eyes, leaned against the wall, and quietly waited for time to pass.

A moment later, another elf with black hair and red eyes appeared at the entrance of the Loki Familia, carrying a bag of steaming breakfast.

Phil Weiss glanced at Ryu leaning against the door and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, are you a guard of the Loki Familia? Could you please inform them? I'm here to see Mr. Ciel."

Liu opened her eyes blankly, staring at her black-haired compatriot with an embarrassed and shy expression, and leaned back tactically: "Sorry, I'm also here to see Ciel."

"Eh?" Seemingly hearing a more intimate form of address than herself, Phil Weiss hid the food basket behind her back: "Um, you and Charles are?"

“Me…?” Ryu noticed Philwiss’s subtle movements, seemingly sensing his compatriot’s feelings for Charles.

Ryu didn't feel jealous at all. It would be unreasonable for a man as intelligent, gentle, and loving as Ciel not to have suitors.

But what is her relationship with Charles?

Friends? I guess so? But it seems their acquaintance began with Leila's mistake, so realistically, shouldn't she be considered the defendant?

Teacher? Not quite. Mr. Charles didn't see himself as the one teaching; we were simply discussing and seeking advice on justice from each other.

Comrade? But he kissed me?

goo—

Liu blinked her bewildered eyes, stared into Phil Weiss's eyes, and finally said bluntly, "I'm the one who stole Ciel's first kiss!"

"Huh?!!" Phil Weiss took three steps back in fear, her eyes beginning to fill with hostility as she looked at Liu.

"Ugh, shameless scoundrel! How dare he lay a hand on a child younger than himself! What a disgrace! At least it should start with holding hands... and then... after a long period of getting to know each other, before handing over something precious!"

Ryu blushed: "No, that's not right. It should be that he took mine away on his own initiative... No, that's not right either. My lips weren't taken away... Well, anyway, that's how it is. Our relationship is a long story."

"Then explain slowly!"

Two elves, one gold and one black, started arguing loudly outside Loki's Familia.

Lily, who had just finished her shift and was waiting for Ciel to relieve her, was yawning as she took the little ones out for exercise when she saw this scene.

The person in question appeared, and both elves glared at them simultaneously: "Mr. Charles, explain yourself! What is your relationship with her?!" x2

Lily instinctively took two steps back, looking at the elves surrounding her from the left and right, her head spinning:

No, Lord Ciel, what are you up to?

Chapter 290 Is the man-made maze locked?

Relationship? What kind of relationship?

I don't make it!

Oh no, Lord Ciel didn't tell me this would happen at all!

Lily gasped inwardly.

Ciel only told her to use the wealth of the Loki Familia to help Fels sell customized training equipment, and then use this identity to contact grassroots business families like Demeter to join his 'supermarket'.

Overall, it wasn't much different from the work she had done before.

But what is the situation now?

More women are eyeing Lord Ciel now?!

Should I drive them away? Or try to negotiate with them?

Just when Lily was having a major headache and felt like she was about to be exposed.

"What are you talking about?"

A cool voice sounded behind Lily. Riveria stood there with her arms crossed, exuding elegance.

"Lady Riveria!"

The two black and gold elves simultaneously composed themselves...

Oh no, Lady Riveria has seen us being so rude.

Phil Weiss handed over the meal she was carrying: "This is a small token of my gratitude. Please accept it, Mr. Charles."

Ryuu stood up straight and honestly reported, "I... I was invited to join the morning exercise."

Lily quickly took the food basket: "This is such a hassle."

"Also, Rion-san, take the loadout from over there, let's set off."

“Wait a minute…” Phil Weiss interrupted Lily’s strategy of splitting up the group: “Um, can I join the morning exercise too?”

"No, spare me!" Lily roared inwardly, but outwardly she could only offer a perfunctory response for the time being.

“I’m sorry, Miss Philweis, we don’t have the equipment suitable for you at the moment. Besides, such a barbaric training method is not suitable for an elegant elf like you.”

Ryu then came out carrying a barbell: "Am I being barbaric?"

Let it be destroyed. Lily looked up at the sky: "This is the necessary price to pay to become stronger."

Rivera watched with great interest as the little boy was fawned over by his fellow countrymen, thinking to herself, "This is the charm of seeing through the unknown and gaining wisdom."

So he said, "[Swift Wind], stepping into the unknown, sweating and striving wildly, is not something that needs to be refuted."

"Let me join you for morning exercise today."

"Eh? Lady Riveria?" Phil Weiss was extremely alarmed.

Lily was completely devastated. Why did a simple morning exercise turn into this situation?
