"I understand, Lady Freya, Miss Hyrise. I'm a little tired today, can I go rest first?"
Clutching the Grace imprint paper tightly in her hand, Bell tried her best to calm her emotions and said.
She had confirmed her true allegiance.
Then, next.
As long as she finds the Dragon Balls that Lu Yuan transformed into, everything will return to normal!
"I heard you were knocked unconscious and brought back by Alfia, so you might be a little tired. Go and rest first."
Nodding, Freya didn't object and watched Bell walk out the door.
And not long after Bell left.
"I didn't expect such a flaw to appear. Is it Hestia's plan, or just a coincidence? Hyrise, what do you think?"
Sitting on the sofa, leaning to the side, and propping up her head, Freya asked in a cold voice.
"It should be a coincidence."
Hyrise stood beside Freya, answering respectfully.
Based on the information she had gathered about Bell's whereabouts, Hyrise was certain that Bell had advanced on the night of their operation.
"You should have seen some of that child's abilities. Don't let a third person know."
After a moment of silence, Freya seemed to accept Hyrise's conclusion and casually instructed.
Putting aside those two skills.
Bell's development ability alone could overwhelm the knowledge of the gods.
Sudden Stop, which was related to time, Freya had anticipated because she had seen it once before.
But Luck and Limit Break Growth... especially Limit Break Growth, shook Freya's heart again.
This ability could definitely help Bell take a shortcut to becoming a hero!
"I understand, Lady Freya," Hyrise nodded respectfully.
"Also, that child is probably suspicious. Order Heding and Hegni to personally train Bell tomorrow. Hopefully, the fatigue will distract him..."
"Yes."
......
The next day, early in the morning.
After eating the Freya Familia's breakfast.
Before being taken to the battlefield training grounds, Bell met Ais, who had come to visit, and was granted half an hour to talk to her.
"Remember! You only have half an hour to finish your nonsense!" Paine, a member of the Freya Familia, stood in the distance and shouted impatiently at Bell.
He was the one leading Bell into the battlefield training grounds.
Plus, with the goddess's special instructions, he was now very dissatisfied with Bell's dawdling behavior.
But there was no way around it.
Ais's visit was something that had been arranged yesterday, and Paine couldn't stop it.
"Ten minutes is enough, please wait a moment, Mr. Paine," Bell nodded, then turned to Ais and said directly, "Miss Ais, I hope you can help me find [Sougo]!"
"Tell me, where is he?" Ais's cold face still didn't show any expression, but from the hand gripping the sword hilt tightly, it could be seen that Ais was very nervous.
Nervous about whether the information Bell spoke of was true or false.
Although Lu Yuan, in his Sougo belt form, hadn't spent much time with Ais.
But the experience of being both a teacher and a friend, and even fighting and getting stronger together, made it impossible for Ais to forget.
Some people can spend a lifetime together, and their relationship may only remain at the stranger stage.
While others, after spending a short time together, their relationship can become a mentor-student relationship, or even a life-and-death friendship.
In Ais's heart, Sougo's status was no less than that of Riveria. (Similar to the old man in the ring)
She didn't want this mentor-student-like existence to disappear.
Therefore, after hearing Loki say last night that Bell had news about [Sougo], she hadn't even closed her eyes all night.
Eager to find him, to find Sougo.
"I don't know where he is now."
Bell's words made Ais show a rare cold expression.
But before Ais could speak, Bell changed the subject and continued, "But I know what he looks like now!"
In fact, the name Sougo was something Lu Yuan had said when bragging and telling stories to Xiao Luli.
Otherwise, even Bell wouldn't have known that the [Sougo] that the Loki Familia was so concerned about had always been her big brother, Lu Yuan.
"Not the belt?" Tilting her head, Ais asked, puzzled.
"It used to be, but because the [Sougo] limited-time item is special, so..."
"What has he become?" Ais didn't doubt, just nodded, took Bell's words, and asked.
"He now looks like seven yellow glass balls, with one to..."
Bell's voice began to lower, describing the appearance of the Dragon Balls in a volume that only she and Ais could hear.
Two minutes later.
"A total of seven?"
"Yes." Looking at Ais's puzzled expression, Bell nodded solemnly.
"Where are they?" Ais pressed.
If [Sougo] was divided into seven parts, then searching would undoubtedly be much more troublesome.
No wonder the girl in front of her would ask her to search. Was it because she wasn't strong enough?
Looking at Bell's delicate face, Ais thought silently.
"They're not in the dungeon, they're in Orario, maybe even somewhere in the Freya Familia... and, the seven glass balls are all placed together," Bell said the information she had deduced.
Since she had been brought to the Freya Familia, then the Dragon Balls that Lu Yuan transformed into were likely here too!
It's just that, because she was being watched so closely, he couldn't get a chance to find the Dragon Balls.
Therefore, finding outside help was the only way Bell could think of!
And this outside help must not have much contact with the Hestia Familia! This way, it wouldn't attract the attention of the Freya Familia!
Thinking about it, in all of Orario, the only one with the ability to investigate the Freya Familia without attracting attention was probably the Loki Familia.
Plus, Bell knew about the [Sougo] matter, asking Ais to investigate could be said to be the only opportunity she had grasped.
"I understand, I will bring [Sougo] to you!"
Ais didn't let Bell provide more detailed information, and didn't even ask why Bell didn't look for it in the Freya Familia, just said that she would go and find [Sougo].
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Bell bowed deeply to Ais.
"No need, if I can find [Sougo], I will thank you instead. Then, goodbye."
"Goodbye..."
Watching Ais leave without hesitation, Bell could only pray silently in her heart, "Please find Brother Yuan, Miss Ais."
......
"Are you done talking? If you're done talking, hurry up and follow! Do you want me to carry you!? Daily training is probably already starting!"
Before Bell could wake up from her worried mood, Paine immediately walked over.
After confirming that Ais had left, he shouted at Bell. And his attitude was extremely bad.
"Yes, Mr. Paine, I'll go right away."
Taking a deep breath, hiding the emotions in her heart, Bell followed Paine towards the training ground.
At the same time.
Ais, who had just left the battlefield, wasn't in a hurry to go back.
Instead, she found a secret place to hide.
"Freya Familia, huh? I will find you, [Sougo]..."
