Currently, Riegel is unaware that Loki has called first-class adventurers from the entire Familia for him.
He's just running down the street, gazing at the completely dark sky, and can't catch his breath.
"It's already very late."
Following Loki's instructions, Riegel initially planned to only delve into the 7th floor and not go any deeper to avoid wasting too much time and being late returning to the Familia.
However, as his strength has increased again, and his ability values have been updated, he has become visibly stronger. Even on the 7th floor, he can no longer get any stimulation, so he finally can't resist and descends to the 8th floor.
This time the result is beyond his control.
"Why am I so excited again that I completely forgot the time?"
Riegel taps his forehead and can't catch his breath anymore.
He knows this is his bad habit.
He has been in the lowest condition and becomes very excited to seek pleasure and change. Now he has gained the highest level development ability due to the [Endless] skill effect, making his physical strength and energy seem never-ending.
If he were not human, and at least still hungry, then he might continue killing without thinking about returning.
"I hope I didn't keep Loki waiting too long."
Riegel has no choice but to speed up and rush back to the Familia.
With his current speed and almost endless physical strength, he will naturally be very efficient if he goes seriously.
Therefore, it doesn't take long before Riegel successfully returns to the Familia's base camp and goes back to the Twilight Mansion.
"Hey, Riegel!"
As Riegel is about to hurry inside the mansion, a voice is heard from above, causing him to stop.
Looking up, he finds Loki leaning out of the window on the top floor of the central tower, waving at him.
"Kid, you're finally back." Loki says with annoyance. "Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you here."
Upon hearing this, Riegel doesn't speak any nonsense, after nodding his head to express understanding, he goes straight back to his room, takes off all the dirty clothes and armor, also removing two weapons, one long and one short, placing them next to the bed. He tidies up a bit and immediately heads to the god's room.
"Come on! Hurry in!"
Before Riegel can even knock on the door, Loki pushes the door open like a prophet and grabs him.
Riegel enters the god's room and is immediately bathed in gazes.
Seeing it in an instant, Riegel suddenly raises his eyebrows.
Are all the first-class adventurers in the Familia here?
As Riegel thinks about this, everyone in the god's room also looks at him.
"Is that him?"
Ais sitting quietly in the corner, seems slightly surprised when she sees Riegel.
Tiona also shouts in surprise.
"Aren't you the rookie that Ais was spying on today?"
The amount of information contained in Tiona's words leaves everyone present, including Riegel, stunned.
"Ais was spying?"
Finn and Gareth both look astonished.
"So, he's the one Loki was talking about?"
Riveria also gazes at Riegel.
"It's true."
Tione, standing next to Finn, also seems a little surprised.
Only Bete, who has endured there for a long time, then explodes.
"Idiot Amazoness! What nonsense are you saying?" Bete sneers and says, "How could Ais spy on a guy that small!?"
"You fool!" Tiona gets annoyed and says straightforwardly, "Why don't you ask Ais, I saw it with my own eyes!"
Everyone immediately focuses their attention on Ais.
"I..."
Ais opens her mouth, seeming like she wants to explain but doesn't know how to articulate it, so she lowers her head slightly embarrassed.
Who told Tiona to use easily misunderstood words?
Ais doesn't want to talk anymore, and she doesn't dare to look at Riegel's expression right now.
Riegel also doesn't look in Ais's direction.
Although Tiona's words made him pause for a moment, Riegel quickly regains his composure and takes the initiative to change the topic.
"Sorry for being late."
Riegel hesitantly apologizes to all the senior Familia members present.
"Tsk."
Bete turns his face with disgust, as if he's too lazy to say anything to him, and just glares at Tiona, annoyed by her unpleasant statement.
The others remain silent together and gaze at the Familia captain.
Finn then shows a friendly smile to Riegel.
"Are you the newcomer Loki mentioned?" Finn's attitude towards Riegel is still very friendly, and he even says with admiration, "You just returned after going through the dungeon. It seems like you've worked very hard."
A newcomer working hard. As the leader of the Familia, Finn certainly won't blame others for the delay in such a short time.
"Thank you for your tolerance."
Riegel doesn't underestimate Finn because of his deceiving appearance.
The seemingly underage human-like Pallum in front of him is not just a Level 6 first-class adventurer but also a legendary figure considered a hope and hero by his race.
He alone has created Loki Familia's achievements today and led Loki Familia for several decades, from a newly established small Familia to one of the strongest Familias in Orario now. He has written personal adventures and epics and is a renowned figure in the world.
Therefore, whether they are Elf royal family members or Familia members present with distinct personalities and unique characteristics, they all have sincere trust in Finn, who seems to have no dignity at all.
Even Loki, the main god, just remains silent, watching everything with a smile, completely handing it over to Finn, who shows the opponent's abilities and prestige.
Furthermore, the other party looks young, but in reality, he is 42 years old, much older than Riegel in his previous life. Emotionally and rationally, he has no reason to look down on others.
Finn is full of goodwill and curiosity towards Riegel standing in front of him.
"Loki praised you a lot. She just praised you in front of us." Finn says with a smile. "No one can be praised like this by Loki. Honestly, I'm still curious about you even if I search all of Orario."
"Yes, yes!" Tiona can't contain herself when she hears this. She raises her hand and shouts impatiently to Riegel, "Newcomer, Loki praised you. We've never seen her talk about a guy like this!"
"There are quite a few girls." Tione adds accurately, saying with a sarcastic tone, "It's just that Loki praises the appearance and figure of a girl."
Everyone present immediately nods in agreement.
"..."
The smile on Loki's face disappears.
"Deserves it."
Bete makes a jab from the side and almost doesn't let Loki break through the defense.
"Okay, stop causing trouble." Gareth taps the table to stop the atmosphere from turning sour. Then he looks at Riegel and says, "I'm very curious, what abilities does this kid have?"
"I heard you just joined the Familia two days ago, and you received the Blessing at that time, right?" Riveria interrupted and said to Riegel, "Loki said there's something you want to ask us, please let us know. As long as it's not too much, as fellow Familia members, we'll surely find a way to satisfy you."
Riveria's attitude is similar to the others; they are all quite friendly towards Riegel.
Only Bete is still standing there with a disgusted expression on his face, even a bit impatient, as if he doesn't like Riegel.
"You're just a young man who received the Blessing a few days ago. I don't know how diligent you are."
This sentence makes the atmosphere slightly different.
"Bete."
Finn furrows his brow and warns, causing Bete to snort and turn away.
"Ignore him."
"He just has a foul mouth."
Tiona and Tione approach Riegel and console him.
Ais also shifts her gaze back to Riegel and looks at him.
However, Riegel only glances at Bete, without any sign of annoyance on his face. He shakes his head calmly.
"Thank you for your attention. I'm fine, and I don't care." Riegel reflects for a moment, then says, "Compared to this, I have an uncompromising request. I want all seniors to help me."
"What?" Finn chuckles.
He still has a clean conscience.
Moreover, Loki gathered everyone here and introduced Riegel to them, only for what she called an uncompromising invitation.
In other words, Loki informed them in disguise to assist Riegel.
Thinking about this, Finn and the other two Familia executives exchange glances, waiting for Riegel to speak.
In such a situation, Riegel speaks.
"I want to seek magical advice from you."
One sentence makes everyone blink.
"Seek magic advice?"
Riveria, the strongest mage in Orario, becomes slightly interested because of his words.
"Yes." Riegel nods and says calmly in front of everyone, "I have awakened magic, but if I want to use it, I have to fulfill some conditions."
There's no need to explain what these conditions are.
In short, Riegel needs someone to consult before he can use his magic.
"What kind of magic is it?"
Tiona can't contain her curiosity and asks.
Finn, Riveria, and Gareth all look directly at Loki.
Loki smiles and says something meaningful.
"The magic is somewhat similar to Lefiya's [Elf Ring]."
Just with this sentence, everyone raises their eyebrows, and their views on Riegel also slightly change.
