You Don't Even Have to Guess Who the Culprit Is

The normal range should be a quantity that doesn't even fill a small bag.

"A total of 140,000 Valis, please accept this."

The staff member handed William a small bag filled with Valis.

In the evening, William and Lefia finally returned to the Loki Familia.

After greeting the gatekeeper, the two headed straight for the Familia's reception room.

"Lady Riveria, please continue to teach me magic!"

This was the first thing Lefia said to Riveria after finding her in the reception room. The Elf was extremely humble, bowing at a ninety-degree angle as she begged Riveria, who was drinking tea and reading a book.

"Then you go wait in the Book Repository! I'll be right there."

Riveria put down the Magecraft in her hand and looked at Lefia calmly.

"Yes."

After responding, Lefia closed the door and headed downstairs to the Book Repository.

She knew that Riveria must have something to say to William, because William had mentioned in the Dungeon that Riveria had asked him to demonstrate magic to him.

"William, thank you so much."

Sure enough, not long after Lefia left, Riveria stood up and thanked William.

"It's nothing. I've more or less guessed what you asked me to do."

William shook his head. It was just a small favor, and there was no need for Riveria to apologize to him so sincerely.

"No, William!"

"You've been a huge help to that woman Riveria this time. She's been having a lot of headaches over little Lefia."

Gareth, still holding a bottle of liquor in his hand, sat on a single sofa and laughed heartily.

Dwarves are that kind of race; when they're not fighting or forging weapons, drinking is their only pleasure.

Riveria glanced coldly at Gareth, who wasn't sitting still, and spoke in an icy tone.

"That rude dwarf is right."

"You really did me a big favor."

"Lefia's eyes told me that she was truly serious this time; she had finally made up her mind to study magic properly."

"That's right, just accept this woman's thanks!"

"Don't you have magic? Sooner or later you'll need to forge your own wand."

"The wand used to forge a first-class adventurer weapon requires the trunk of the Great Holy Tree, and only this woman can obtain that."

William looked at Gareth speechlessly. He had only shown his magic a little bit; how could he possibly repay such a small amount with the trunk of the Great Holy Tree?

The trunk of the Great Holy Tree is a rare and highly sought-after material for Mage. Even a small section of it costs hundreds of millions of Valis, and it's still priceless!

"Okay! I'll send you a branch of the sacred tree, long enough to make a staff, in a little while."

Contrary to William's expectations, Riveria agreed quite readily.

"No, what you're offering is far too valuable; I cannot accept it."

William shook his head. Although he also wanted to get his hands on this top-quality material, it was a trivial matter to accept something for nothing.

He couldn't accept such a high reward from Riveria.

"The branches of the Great Holy Tree aren't that expensive to me; they always insist on giving me one when I go home every year."

"My warehouse is already overflowing with stuff, you don't need to be so polite with me."

This Spirit King spoke with a serious expression and rather boastful words, saying that the trunk of the Great Holy Tree, which was extremely rare on the market, was nothing more than something to be stored away in her warehouse.

"Please consider this my modesty! I will buy one from you when I have saved enough Valis, but I cannot accept it now."

"You two stop arguing. William, you've already taken Finn as your master to learn spear fighting, so why don't you take Riveria master to learn magic?"

"So you don't need to refuse a gift between master and disciple, right? That little brat Lefia's staff was also made from a branch of the Great Holy Tree given to her by Riveria."

The old dwarf couldn't stand anyone dawdling. In his eyes, William had no manly qualities whatsoever and was just being pretentious.

"Hmph! Even a rude dwarf can occasionally offer a good suggestion."

Even when Riveria is praising Gareth, he won't change the adjectives he uses specifically for Gareth.

"Ah! Isn't it a bit inappropriate to have two masters at the same time?"

William truly hadn't expected to have such a bizarre situation as having two masters. In his previous world, while one could have many teachers, one could only have one master.

"What's wrong with that? Aren't all adventurers like that?"

Gareth didn't understand what William meant. When adventurers learn a new skill, they usually seek out a mentor for guidance in addition to studying on their own.

The most obvious example is the blacksmiths of the Hephaestus Familia. Almost every one of them has two masters: one who teaches them the craft of blacksmithing and the other who teaches them how to fight.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for an adventurer to have multiple mentors at the same time in Orario.

"So, William, do you agree?"

"Of course, even if you disagree, you must accept the branches of the Great Holy Tree."

"I understand. I'll leave the rest to you, Master Riveria."

Since Riveria didn't mind, William naturally didn't intend to refuse.

He had always used modern magic that used thought to induce scientific phenomena, and now that he has suddenly switched to magical power, there are many things he is not used to.

Although he could solve these problems on his own, it was ultimately not as good as having a Mage teach him step by step, especially since this Mage was the strongest Mage in Orario. This was like a pillow coming to him when he was dozing off.
