In the room of the leader on the top floor of the Loki Familia.
Alexia, who followed Finn here, was handed a thick book by Finn as soon as he entered the door.
"This is?"
"The Grimoire just arrived today," Finn explained. "You should know magic, right?"
Alexia nodded.
Magic, unlike skills, is the ability to directly induce supernatural powers in the real world.
It is roughly divided into innate magic and acquired magic. Innate magic involves racial blood and personal qualifications and has fixed attributes. Magical races can acquire it through their own potential and practice. For example, everyone in the Elf tribe can All have magic.
Acquired magic is related to interest and identification with things and is inspired by God's grace - most of the adventurers with magic in Orario obtained it this way.
The acquired magic is different from the innate magic. You can only have three at most.
"The book in your hand is a magic book that can force adventurers to learn magic," Finn said. "You don't have magic yet? You will master your own magic through this magic book in a while."
"Um...eh?"
It took Alexia a moment to react.
Let himself learn magic? Is this grimoire now mine?
"By the way, the value of the magic book is 50 million Valis, and it has been recorded in your account."
"Boom!"
Alexia hit his head directly on the table, and the magic book in his hand flew out on the spot. He was so frightened that he quickly caught it for fear that something would happen to the fifty million in his hand. "Fifty, million fifty?! Why... ...Why do you want to give me such a valuable thing all of a sudden, Captain!"
Exia did not think that giving himself a precious magic book worth 50 million Valis for no reason was a standard issue for the Loki Familia. Although he didn't know much about the concept of money in this world, it didn't matter what currency it was for 50 million. This is already a huge number!
The particular example of the Zimbabwe dollar does not count.
(You want to keep me by increasing your debt? Or are you planning to make me do something at the cost? For example, hand over the training method of Taixu Sword Qi?)
"No, no matter what, Captain, this magic book is too valuable, I can't accept it."
"It was originally prepared for you, so just accept it. As for the reason...well, I can tell you, it's just an [investment]."
Finn was not prepared to hide anything. "Have you also seen the speed at which your abilities are growing? I can tell you straightforwardly that it is a speed that is unprecedented or even unprecedented. It only took one night to achieve this." With your speed, there is no doubt about your value to our family."
"You are a talent that has never been seen before, Exia."
"So we hope that you can grow up as soon as possible, and after you grow up, you can use your strength to feed back the family and make the family stronger. I don't think we don't understand this approach."
I understand, of course I understand.
It is a common thing to give talented people a chance to show their talents and bring more benefits. Ixia has seen Bishop Otto do this too many times.
But actually it's my turn to be a client...
"I don't think I'm of such great value, Captain. And even if it's not the case, I will definitely repay your kindness for taking me in, so I will definitely repay you for this magic book -"
"I bought everything, are you going to give it back?" Finn said with a smile. "Or do you have some unspeakable reason why you can't accept this book? If you are worried that we have ulterior motives... "
Alexia shook his head. "No, I had already given up this idea when the leader explained the reason just now. It's just... this came a bit suddenly, and I couldn't accept it quickly."
Accepting the magic book is equivalent to accepting a huge favor from the Loki Familia. This cannot be repaid by paying back the money, at least in Exia's view. In this way, whenever something happens to the Loki family in the future, Exia cannot just sit idly by and ignore it, both emotionally and rationally.
He did not object to this. The Loki family was originally kind to him, and there was no problem in repaying the kindness.
But if you accept the magic book, it won't end once or twice as a favor, and this will create a problem——
(I don't have enough time.)
Alexia can only stay in this world for three months, and now it is less than three months. This means that Alexia cannot stay here forever to repay the Loki Familia. He still wants to go back to the world over there. There are places and people you want to meet.
Moreover, he was not sure whether he would be able to come back to the world over there. If he couldn't come back, then Exia would have wasted a wave of good intentions from the Loki Familia in vain - he would feel bad about it.
(If I could come back again... By the way! That text should answer my question, right? Can I still come back?)
[Sure]
[But there is an interval. It takes three months to come to the same world again]
Burning words appeared in Exia's eyes.
(Is there a cooldown time? God's Favor and Dungeons just make me feel like a game. Are you coming too?)
But this also means that after Exia leaves this world, she only needs to wait three months to come back again.
(In this case...it's not impossible.)
There is a chance to come back, which means that the kindness can be truly repaid.
only--
(Originally, I wanted to pay off the debt before leaving. If I accept it... are I sure I can pay it off?)
Suddenly, it soared from 800,000 to 50.8 million. Alexia was about to burst into tears. "Speaking of the leader...could it be that you had planned this?"
From another perspective, Fenn's behavior is quite similar to those of unscrupulous manufacturers. At first, he used various good conditions to lure people into the factory, and then used various reasons to cut the agreed wages. He made people work for free and tied his employees to death in the factory.
"How could it be? You're overthinking it. It
's just a temporary decision made after confirming your growth rate." Finn smiled bitterly. "You only need to read the magic book once, and you will master the magic naturally. Just ask Loki to update your abilities."
"Then, if possible, we will go to the dungeon in the afternoon to test your magic and at the same time improve your abilities - this time we can go directly to the middle level, so be prepared."
"Okay, I get it."
