Chapter 415: Chapter 215: Sharing a Ride
Shefilya sat on a nearby sofa, resting with her eyes closed.
She hadn’t actually experienced much combat. Most of the time, she stayed by Feney’s side to protect her.
Now that Lin Mo had grown so strong, she no longer needed to worry so much.
Lin Mo didn’t disturb her, getting up and stepping out of the room.
CREAAAK—
The soft sound of a door opening was coincidentally met by another.
Lin Mo turned to see Flora emerging from the adjacent room, stretching her lovely figure.
"Finished already?"
Flora turned her head to meet his gaze and asked with a teasing smile.
Lin Mo rolled his eyes. "The soundproofing in this inn isn’t that good."
He meant that if anything had really happened, she would have heard it.
Flora pouted, about to retort, ’That’s not necessarily true. What if you were just too quick...’ But then she remembered this kid wasn’t just a Mage Professional. He was also a Warrior, Assassin, and Knight; his Physique Attribute couldn’t be low.
’So, where in the world did a "monster" like him come from?’
"Miss Flora, was there something you needed me for earlier?"
"Come in and talk."
Flora gestured toward her room. Lin Mo followed her inside and took a seat on the sofa.
Flora sat on the edge of the bed, crossed her legs, and gave Lin Mo a peculiar look. "So, when I told you Feney was like a sister to me and asked you to take good care of her... this is what you meant by ’taking care of her,’ huh?"
Lin Mo spread his hands helplessly.
’At first, he hadn’t really thought of it like that. It’s just that...’
’Feney was just too adorable, the life of a kept man was too sweet, and his mother-in-law was so proactive, arranging everything perfectly. Naturally, he could only go with the flow.’
"Never mind, never mind..."
Flora waved her hand. "Let’s talk about something serious. Actually, it’s not that serious, I just wanted to ask... what exactly have you been doing all this time?"
She still couldn’t quite understand how Lin Mo’s power could have increased so quickly.
"Well..."
There wasn’t much to hide about his experiences, so Lin Mo gave her a brief summary.
"It sounds like you’ve certainly been through a lot."
Flora was filled with emotion after listening to him.
’But it all came back to the same question: how did his power increase so quickly?’
According to Lin Mo’s description, he had experienced numerous adventures and battles during this time, with barely any opportunity to stop and properly practice his Skills. While it was said that Skills improved more easily in combat, this was usually linked to an accumulation of regular practice. For most people, it was essentially a way to more quickly convert practice into results.
’But the problem was, this guy hadn’t accumulated much practice either...’
’Could he really be some kind of combat genius who gets stronger just by fighting?’
’I don’t get it.’
Despite her many doubts, Flora didn’t dwell on the issue, nor did she plan to pry into Lin Mo’s secrets.
"Oh, right. You said before that you hadn’t reached the Elite Level yet?"
"That’s right."
Lin Mo nodded. "My Mage Level is only 9, but I’m about to reach Level 10."
"Level 9?!"
Flora was stunned again. To cast Magic with that much power, she had thought he would be at least Level 10.
’The good news: he was a level lower than I estimated. The bad news: at Level 9, he could already wield the power of an Elite Mage.’
’For a moment, she didn’t know whether to be happy or not.’
"If you’re Level 9 and close to 10, your Elemental Affinity must be quite high, plus the buffs from your equipment..."
’That would make it somewhat reasonable. At least, it’s a hundred times more reasonable than his leveling speed.’
"What about you? What have you been doing all this time? And why did the neighboring city suddenly send reinforcements?"
Now that she had asked her questions, Lin Mo was curious as well. Flora had surely been busy dealing with the Goblins and the Lawrence Clan. It seemed she had made some progress, but Lin Mo knew almost none of the details.
"Me... My story isn’t as exciting as yours and Little Feney’s."
"Most of the time, I was just investigating..."
Flora’s experiences hadn’t been as eventful, so her telling of them was much more concise. In just a short time, she had laid out the broad strokes of what had happened.
"I see."
Lin Mo nodded.
’So, Duke Sed Morin from the Royal Capital was the one behind the Lawrence Clan. Everything they had done was likely at the Duke’s behest. Their goal was to use this method—like raising venomous insects to fight to the death—to force the Goblin Race to evolve, all to obtain the "Golden Egg" for alchemy research.’
’And now, by collecting all sorts of evidence and with the help of the Auswiss Clan, they had finally been able to confirm the crimes of the Lawrence Clan and completely bring them down.’
This was the first time Lin Mo had heard of the Auswiss Clan.
Although he had suspected Lady Beixila’s background was anything but simple, he never imagined it was *this* extraordinary.
’An Imperial Marquis Clan was considered top-tier nobility on the entire Continent. No wonder there was this whole affair of assigning a personal Maid and conducting preliminary evaluations and tests.’
’This also provided a reasonable explanation for Shefilya’s exceptional talent.’
’After all, the blood of an Imperial Marquis Clan flowed through her veins as well.’
