The path of acquiring Retainers was smooth.
Linde was in a good mood.
Next, it was time to return to the town.
Along the way...
It basically continued the previous pattern; whenever they encountered a magical beast, it was kill, kill, kill.
The experience provided by these magical beasts was negligible for the Star Spirit and Freya.
But for Anna's strength improvement, it was enormous.
However, when the Star Spirit learned that Anna was just an ordinary person before, she fell into deep silence.
"You, did you really just become Master's Retainer yesterday?"
Anna smiled and nodded.
"…"
Star Spirit.
Such a rapid rate of progress, was she cheating?
"Actually, I'll tell you something."
Anna leaned closer, "The reason I leveled up so quickly is entirely because of Master."
The Star Spirit's eyes immediately lit up.
What the heck.
I knew it, how could there be no secret to this.
It's too outrageous to gain strength so quickly just by leveling up through monster hunting.
"Quick, tell me right away."
"Don't worry, it seems all Retainers/Subordinates know about this."
Anna's pretty face was a bit red, but she still said, "Actually, it's Master's..."
"Huh?"
The Star Spirit's eyes widened.
Are you kidding me?
Bodily fluids or something, that's too exaggerated, isn't it? 13
At this moment.
The Star Spirit only felt her worldview had been irreversibly shattered.
In the evening.
At Anna's house.
"Phew!"
The moment she stepped through the door, Anna's body suddenly swayed.
"Anna, are you okay?"
The Star Spirit instinctively supported her.
"It's nothing, just ran out of magic power."
Anna gently let out a breath, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
This day was even crazier than yesterday.
The monsters they encountered.
Neither their strength nor their numbers were comparable to the kingdom's soldiers from yesterday.
Until later.
The joy of increasing her strength almost made her forget herself.
"I know some recovery magic, it should make you feel better."
The Star Spirit raised her hands and began to gather magic power.
"No need."
Anna shook her head, a little shyly saying, "I have a better way."
"You have a recovery potion?"
"No, it's magic replenishment."
"Hmm?"
The Star Spirit blinked.
Magic replenishment?
A method to replenish magic power?
But Anna's expression, why did it feel a bit subtle?
On the other side.
Their conversation naturally couldn't be hidden from Linde.
However, before he could act, Anna was already standing in front of him.
She looked up, her serene eyes filled with an inexplicable color.
"Master... mmph..."
This, this, is this magic replenishment?
The Star Spirit, as a new Retainer, saw this scene and her pupils contracted violently.
Thump! Thump-thump!
As a pure spirit several hundred years old, this scene was too stimulating for her.
She only felt her heart pounding deafeningly, almost jumping out of her chest.
Seeing her like this, Freya smiled, "You don't need to be like this."
"This is very common among Retainers/Subordinates."
The Star Spirit: "..."
Very common?
Is this Retainer really proper?
She really seems very off.
And... the Star Spirit looked at Anna, her expression becoming strange.
Why did it feel like.
Miss Anna's demeanor seemed to be getting more and more abnormal?
"Actually, this also has to do with Master."
Noticing the Star Spirit's thoughts, Freya directly explained all the knowledge about magic replenishment and its associated details.
So.
It was like this?
The Star Spirit looked shocked.
Saliva actually had such an effect?
Indeed.
This Retainer is too off.
Is it inappropriate for me to still be here?
But soon, it was already too late.
"Freya, come help out, assist Anna."
At this moment, Linde's voice rang out.
"Understood, Master."
Freya's face lit up with joy, and she quickly scurried over.
Having someone to share the pressure made her less afraid.
Now, she.
Only wanted to take more, to become stronger.
"Miss Freya."
The familiar suffocating sensation came, and Anna only felt herself being endlessly dragged into the depths of the sea.
The intense feeling of weightlessness made her instinctively rely on her companion.
[experience 5]
[experience 10]
[experience 25]
Watching the continuous experience, Linde only felt his own magic power also subtly increasing.
This made him more and more excited.
Indeed.
My Linde's strength improvement is entirely due to my own efforts.
He looked up at the sky, feeling that one day, he would pierce through this firmament.
On the other side.
The Star Spirit, who had run to another spot, couldn't help but complain.
"Damn it, I'm still a living person here."
"And, this room is too small, isn't it?"
The Star Spirit sighed, gradually feeling drowsy.
The sound was gone.
Time to sleep.
The next day.
The Star Spirit groggily opened her eyes.
She looked at the dark circles under her eyes in the mirror, a visible resentment flashing in her eyes.
Why did she have to experience such a thing?
Seventeen times.
A full seventeen times.
She had just managed to fall asleep, and then was woken up again.
Now her mind was filled with the voices of Freya and Anna.
If this continued, she would surely suffer a nervous breakdown.
At the same time.
The nightmare-like sound rang out again.
Again?
Will it ever end?
That afternoon.
After lunch, Linde set off with his Retainers/Subordinates.
"Master, are we leaving here?"
Anna looked at her small house, a little reluctant.
Although it was small and broken.
But it held many memories of her first times.
"Don't worry, I've already left a coordinate."
Linde gave her a head pat, smiling, "Once you learn Teleportation Magic, you can come back and visit anytime you want."
"Mm-hmm."
Hearing this, Anna's face broke into a brilliant smile.
"Master, where are we going next?"
Freya interjected, "However, we've caused such a big mess, I'm afraid my father won't let us go."
"It doesn't matter, whoever comes, just eliminate them."
"057 Master, it's still best not to be too careless."
After a moment of hesitation, Freya said, "With Master's strength, even a hero wouldn't be your opponent."
"However, you still need to be wary of one person."
"Oh, who?"
"My father."
A complex look flashed in Freya's eyes: "Or, to be precise…"
"I no longer know if that person is my father."
As the Brave of Sorcery, having interacted with her nominal father for many years, she had still noticed some differences.
Within that seemingly aged body, there was an indescribable power.
Once, she even sensed a trace of a demon's aura from him.
"Don't worry, I've got everything under control. You just need to follow along."
Linde shrugged indifferently.
Although the power level of this world was not low, he didn't pay it much mind.
After all, using the Brave's strength as a benchmark,
the strongest combat power wouldn't be beyond his ability to handle.
On the other side,
Anna looked at the Star Spirit: "Why do you still seem so down? Are you sick?"
"Who do you think this is all because of?"
Freya complained helplessly: "And, is it really normal for all of you to be so energetic?"
These people definitely slept less than she did.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this at all.
Linde chuckled: "You'll know if you try."
"Heh… heheh."
The Star Spirit's mouth twitched slightly.
Sure enough.
This perverted master was definitely eyeing her too…
