Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

The people sitting in the cafeteria were the leader Finn Timna, the deputy leader Grace Landrock, Livilia Rios Alf, and the core members Ace Wallenstein, Bert Roca, Tiona Silut, Tione Silut and Lefia Viridis.

"Li De, your ability values ​​have been updated, right? Have you upgraded?" Seeing Li De coming over, Finn stood up and asked Li De.

"Finn, are you waiting for me here on purpose?" Li De felt a little flattered.

"Of course, I heard from Bert that you are likely to upgrade today, so I gathered here to wait for you, but you haven't answered my question yet." Finn continued.

"Well, I have upgraded." Li De nodded, and handed the parchment recording the upgrade data to Finn.

Then a group of people came up to look at Li De's [Ability Value] list.

"Haha, Li De, you are really shocking. I thought your [ability value] before the upgrade last time was scary enough, but I didn't expect it to be even more exaggerated this time." Grace said with a big laugh.

"Indeed, Li De, you really broadened my horizons. You started real adventures at the age of 38, and then completed two levels in two months. The values ​​before each upgrade were exaggerated. I really delayed you before." Li Weilia couldn't help but sighed.

"Li Weilia, you are wrong. The biggest reason why I can upgrade so quickly is because of my special skills. And this is obtained by some special experiences. Without those experiences, I can't get this special skill, and I am just an ordinary adventurer." Li De waved his hand and replied.

"Don't be modest, Li De, you must know that the accumulation of ability values ​​certainly takes a lot of time, but there is no shortcut to the accumulation of great deeds. Enough adventures can accumulate the great deeds needed for upgrading. Everyone understands this. Your upgrade is your own fight." Finn said in an appreciative tone.

"Yes, Uncle Reed, you are really amazing. It only took two months to catch up with my level. I didn't know it." Lefiya was interrupted by Aisi before she finished speaking.

"Uncle Reed's [One-hearted Admiration] skill can save a lot of time to accumulate ability values. Lefiya, you don't have to care about this. You have done a good job, but I wish I had such a skill." Aisi said with envy while comforting Lefiya.

"Speaking of which, the child named Bell also upgrades very quickly, and he broke the record set by Aisi before." Tiona suddenly said.

"Little Hero should have similar skills to Brother Reed to have a similar upgrade speed, but speaking of it, Little Hero has made great progress recently." Tiona said with interest.

"Speaking of which, what do you think of the war game between Apollo and Hestia?" Reed walked to the left and picked up a piece of bread that had just been baked and asked Finn while eating it.

"Do you need my opinion? Or is there something I must have an opinion on?" Finn asked in confusion, but as the leader, Finn was quite sensitive about matters related to the followers.

"Let me put it this way, if Hestia's followers win, things will be very simple. But if Apollo's followers win, I would like to ask the leader and everyone present to prepare for the battle." Reed said slowly.

"Reed, can you explain it in detail?" Livilia asked seriously.

"Reed, no matter which follower wins, it should have nothing to do with us, right?" Grace asked in confusion.     "Hey, Reed, you guys don't want to snatch that white-haired bastard back, do you?" Bert's reaction was a bit big.

"Reed, even if we are followers, we can't attack other followers at will, especially since Bell has been in Orario for less than a year. You should know this." Finn's tone was a bit heavy.

"Don't worry, Finn. Even if we really have to take action, we will definitely not let Loki's followers bear any infamy. When have you ever seen me do something unreliable?" Reed answered with a relaxed face.

"Uncle Reed, can you tell me why?" Ai Si finally couldn't help asking.

"It's very simple, because of a person, a person named Bell Crane." Reed said lightly.

"Reed, are you serious?" Bert asked Reed in an extremely serious tone.

"Bert, listen to me first. If Apollo's followers really win, we do need to take action. And as Bert said, we are going to rob people, but the person we rob is not Bell Crane. The reason why I mentioned this little guy is that he will become the fuse for the outbreak of the war between Apollo's followers and Freya's followers." Reed gave an answer that surprised and shocked everyone.

"Reed, you mean that the goddess Freya has taken a fancy to Bell Crane." Finn's mind turned very quickly and he grasped the key at once.

"If it's that goddess, it's very possible." Livilia said after a pause.

"How could it be Bell?" Ais asked in disbelief.

Before the Monster Festival, Ais met Freya with Loki once. She happened to hear that Freya was obsessed with a child of a family, but she didn't expect that the child would be Bell Crane.

"Does Reed have any definite evidence?" Finn asked.

"Finn, can anyone confirm that Bell Crane took a book from the Mistress of Plenty, a magic book called "Modern Magic Even Goblins Know". Who would be so generous to get a magic book that even I have to make great contributions to get? And it happened to be in the Mistress of Plenty. This can't be a coincidence." Reed asked Finn.

"If this is the case, it won't be wrong. This information is very important. In addition, Reed, if the two followers really go to war because of that kid, who should we fight for? Or what kind of person is worthy of our participation in such things." Finn continued to ask.

"A girl named Cassandra Ilion. She was originally a surprise for the followers. I also planned to slowly get her out of Apollo's followers. I didn't expect that the plan didn't change as fast as it did."

After listening to Reed's words, Livilia frowned and asked, "Is there anything special about this child?"
