066 The Same Long-Cherished Wish

Although the Dusk Pavilion was brightly lit at night, there were no lights at the place where Li Ge and Ais met. Only the moonlight shone in from the window and hit the two of them.

Li Ge looked at Ais who was silent there and sighed slightly in his heart.

At first glance, Ais seemed to be the same as usual, she still looked devoid of emotional changes and had no expression on her face.

However, Li Ge was still keenly aware that Aisi was not in a good mood.

She is depressed.

She was in a very low mood.

Just like what Loki said, this girl seemed a little downcast.

And seeing the condition of the girl who had taken good care of him in the past, not only taught him magic and sword skills, but also often sparred with him, Li Ge naturally couldn't pretend he didn't see it.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Ge came closer, leaning against the window like Aisi, looking at the night scene outside, and made a sound like this.

""

Ais didn't speak, just stared into the distance.

Li Ge glanced at the piece of parchment held by Aisi and said, "Isn't this harvest good?"

Hearing this, Ais was silent for a moment, and then handed the parchment in her hand to Li Ge.

"May I?"

Li Ge frowned and asked.

Ais nodded and asked Rige to take the parchment.

On the parchment, there was Ais' newly updated ability value.

ace wallenstein

5

Strength: D549→D555

Durability: D540→D547

Smart: A823→A825

Agility: A821→A822

Magic: A899

Hunter:G

Abnormal Resistance: G

Swordsman: I

When he saw this ability value, Li Ge probably understood why Ais was so depressed.

It’s not because of anything else, it’s just because the results this time were really bad.

On an expedition, I struggled in the dungeon for more than three weeks. I still entered the ultra-deep level and dealt with countless high-level monsters. As a result, my all-ability proficiency increased by less than 20.

This kind of improvement is really too bad.

At least, for Li Ge, who has never had a proficiency growth below 500, this value is really exciting.

Li Ge could only say to Aisi: "Don't take it too seriously. It's not that you don't work hard enough, it's just that your ability value has almost reached its peak."

Li Ge was not deliberately comforting Ais.

In his opinion, the main reason why Aisi's growth is so poor is because her ability value has reached its peak.

"Strength" and "Durability" are not the abilities that Ais is good at. It is already very good to be able to upgrade both to the D stage.

"Dexterity" and "Agility" have both reached the A stage, and the next step up will be the highest S stage. According to the principle that the closer to S, the slower the growth, the progress of these two abilities will be minimal, which is purely normal.

Not to mention "Magic", the last 1 point of proficiency is just short of the S stage, which is definitely not that easy to rise to.

To sum up, the reason why Aisi's growth is so poor this time is not due to her own fault, but because she has almost reached the end of her life at level 5.

"I know."

Ais finally spoke.

However, her voice was not as plain as usual, but somewhat weak.

"I have reached my peak at this stage. Even if I kill thousands or tens of thousands more monsters, my proficiency will not increase much. I can feel it."

Now Aisi has no room to grow.

The current ability value is Ais's limit, and there won't be much room for development.

It has been more than three years since she reached level 5, and a wall called the "bottleneck" has stood in front of Ais, making it difficult for her to make any significant improvement.

It was when Ais realized this that she felt lost.

"What about you?" Aisi turned her eyes, looked at Li Ge, and asked, "Have you upgraded?"

"Yes." Li Ge met Aisi's gaze and nodded.

"Sure enough." Ais's eyes became a little complicated and she murmured: "It only took three months for you to catch up with me."

This blow, at this time, is really a bit big.

But there was no way. As someone who had watched Li Ge rise until now, Ais knew very well that it was only a matter of time before she was caught up.

No one knows better than her how fast Li Ge has grown and how much potential he has.

Recalling that when Li Ge was still 1, he could force him back with a single sword. At that time, Aisi understood intuitively that this man who was too similar to herself would soon catch up.

Now, he has done it, but he has not been able to widen the gap and is still standing still.

"What to do?"

Ais couldn't help but speak.

"What?"

Li Ge was slightly startled.

But Aisi stared at him and said, "How can I become stronger so quickly like you?"

This is something that Ais has always wanted to find out since she saw Li Ge's abilities.

She was so active in sparring with Li Ge and allowed him to learn her sword skills without any reservations. She also wanted to observe Li Ge carefully and find out the secret to him becoming stronger quickly.

But in the end, what Ais saw was just a man who was running at an extremely fast speed, constantly moving forward, constantly climbing up, approaching his own field at an alarming speed, and gradually transforming into a truly strong man.

As for tips, she saw none.

Originally, Aisi would definitely not express her feelings like this.

But at this moment, Ais couldn't help but speak out, making no secret of her desire to become stronger.

This made Li Ge silent on the spot.

"I'm sorry." Ais realized belatedly, looked at Li Ge apologetically, and said, "I asked about something that troubled you."

This question is really difficult for Li Ge to answer.

You can't just say that you didn't do anything but work hard to kill monsters every day, and that's how you got to this level, right?

I'm afraid this is not adding insult to injury.

So, Li Ge organized his thoughts before speaking again.

"Actually, I can understand your eagerness to become stronger." Li Ge said: "I am the same as you. I want to become stronger quickly and become stronger than anyone else, so that I can realize my long-cherished wish. ”

"Long-cherished wish?" Ais was successfully attracted.

"That's right." Li Ge said calmly: "I want to get rid of other people's control, get rid of other people's sight and plans, run in the direction and path I want, no longer be numb, no longer follow the crowd, and be arranged by others."

This is a feeling that only Li Ge understands, but Aisi does not understand.

But when she heard the word "long-cherished wish", Aisi still had some resonance with Li Ge.

"So you are just like me"

Aisi's eyes became more complicated when she looked at Li Ge.

She also has a long-cherished wish, or rather a sad wish that she wants to realize.

That's why she was so eager to become stronger.

Li Ge naturally knew this, and even knew what the long-cherished wish in Aisi's heart was that was unknown to others.

Therefore, he could say such a sentence.

"We seem to be similar in every aspect, but the most similar thing should be this, right?"

Li Ge chuckled, and the sound reached Aisi's ears.

"We all want to become stronger in order to realize our long-cherished wish, so I can really understand your thoughts." Li Ge looked at Ais and said: "Unfortunately, I can't give you any mature advice in this regard. After all, I’m still exploring, I’m just luckier than you and I got the chance to achieve my goal. I’m really sorry.”

If there was any secret, Li Ge would not be stingy and would be willing to teach Ais everything.

But he didn't.

He was able to grow so quickly mainly because of [The Fool's Obsession].

This cannot be shared with others.

Therefore, Li Ge was completely unable to solve the troubles and questions in Aisi's heart.

"The only thing I can do is probably listen to your troubles like this." Li Ge smiled and said: "If you have something to say, something unhappy, I don't know who to say it to." , then tell me.”

"If this can make you less confused and less distressed, then I am very willing to be the listener."

These words made Ais look at Li Ge.

Li Ge didn't look away, just looked at Ais.

Their eyes don't have the same color, but they have the same emotions and the same obsession.

Looking at this pair of eyes that were exactly like her own, for some reason, Ais did feel that the distress in her heart was lessened.

"Thank you."

Ais took a deep breath and thanked Li Ge.

"No need." Seeing that Aisi had cheered up a little, Li Ge asked, "Have you thought about it?"

Ais nodded and looked out the window again, her golden eyes becoming determined.

"Since there is no room for growth at this stage, let's move on to the next stage."

Li Ge would not fail to understand what this sentence means.

"Upgrade?"

This is Ace's only way out.

Since the stage of 5 has reached the end, reaching the limit and unable to make any further progress, Aisi can only find a way to rise to 6.

Only by upgrading can one's strength be greatly improved, and one's own "weapons" will be sublimated to the extreme. Only then can more possibilities and new potential be revealed.

If she can't do it, Aisi will never grow up properly in the future.

"Come on." Li Ge stared at the determined Ais and said, "If you need my help, just ask."

This is the only support he can give.

"Thanks."

Ais thanked her again.

The two of them looked out the window and stopped talking.

The moonlight shone down and still hit the two of them for a long time.

No one knew about the conversation between Li Ge and Aisi.

Even the senior members of the Familia clan only focused on resting on the first day after returning from the expedition and could not pay attention to too many things.

The same goes for the rest of the people, who all began to recuperate.

The three-week expedition really made many people feel physically and mentally exhausted. At this time, only a good rest can allow everyone to be healed.

Until the next day, a news spread not only among the Loki Familia, but also among Orario.

"Li Ge successfully rose to level 5."

As soon as the news came out, the whole city was shocked.
