NOVEL NEXT Chapter 23: Chapter 23
After graduating from being a Great Magician, Riku's temperament had changed quite a lot.
"Riku, you can use magic too?" However, Riku's transformation stunned Fia, who was quietly getting dressed on the side. She asked curiously.
When Riku fought her, it was always a head-on contest of strength and speed. Now he could even use magic clearly, Riku still had a lot left to show.
"What do you mean, Riku? Privately, you should call me 'husband.'" Riku raised his eyebrows, deliberately acting with authority.
"Hmph." Hearing this, Fia pouted, snorted with a tsundere attitude, but in the end, her face reddened, and she softly said, 'Stupid husband.'
"Don't add 'stupid' before it," Riku said with a helpless smile.
"Well, I can use magic. But rather than magic, it should be called a little gadget." Riku explained slowly.
But halfway through the explanation, Riku suddenly realised that after getting married, he hadn't given her any gift. Even the rings were prepared by those werebeast chiefs and elders, which made Riku feel a little embarrassed, so he hurriedly added, "Fia, if you want, I can give this to you."
'You should keep it for yourself, husband. I'm not like you, always out and about.' Fia shook her head gently, understandingly.
"Sorry, I'll make it up to you with the best gift in the future." Riku touched his face and said seriously.
"All right, I'll remember it. Let's talk about this later. Doesn't husband have something important to discuss with the chiefs and elders?" Upon hearing this, Fia's tail wagged rapidly, her red eyes shining, looking very happy.
"Mm, let's go out." Hearing this, Riku also became serious.
A moment later, Riku held Fia's small hand and left the bridal chamber, telling a werebeast maid waiting outside to go notify the werebeast chief and elders. Then the two of them headed toward the conference room.
Along the way, all the werebeasts they met sincerely congratulated Riku and Fia. No matter what their attitudes had been before, now that everything had been settled, the vast majority of werebeasts only had sincere blessings. After all, this was the day of their princess's wedding.
A short while later, the dusty werebeast chief and elders arrived at the conference room and sat down. Riku and Fia took the main seats.
"Hehe, Riku-sama, did you have a good time last night? Fia didn't neglect you, did she?" As soon as he sat down, the chief asked with a wide grin.
"Mm." Hearing this, Riku touched his nose and nodded.
"Stupid old man! Shut up already!" Fia shouted in embarrassment and anger, her face red. She was really dissatisfied with this old man who had "sold her off."
"Hehe, I'll shut up, I'll shut up." The werebeast chief didn't look angry, just nodded happily, looking very pleased.
The other werebeast elders also looked relieved.
"I wonder, Riku-sama, what did you call us here for this time?" Then the werebeast chief and elders became serious and asked one after another.
"I'll be leaving soon to seek opportunities to become stronger." Riku nodded and spoke slowly.
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Fia's body also stiffened. She pressed her lips together. Although she had already prepared herself mentally, it still came too soon.
"Um, Riku-sama, won't you stay for a few more days?" The werebeast chief hesitated, then finally asked.
"Don't be so tense." Riku reached out and patted Fia's head gently. "I have spatial abilities. If I want to come back, it's very easy."
"Spatial abilities?" Upon hearing this, everyone gasped, looking at Riku in shock. In this world, the ones most skilled in spatial abilities are the Flügel. That's why the Flügel are extremely troublesome, not only are they strong, but in terms of chasing or escaping, no race can match them.
They never expected that Riku, besides being strong, even had spatial abilities.
'Riku, you never tell me anything.' Fia looked up, pouting. Although she looked displeased, if you looked closely, you could see the joy and happiness in her eyes.
And if you looked at her rapidly wagging tail, it was even more obvious.
"Mm. This time, I gathered you all here because I want you to do something." Riku nodded, not explaining further about his spatial abilities, and spoke very seriously.
"What is it? Please tell us, Riku-sama. If it's something we can do, we'll do our best." Upon hearing this, the werebeast chief also became serious and replied solemnly.
"I know the general locations of other races' strongholds, so I want to scout out enemy information. I'd like you to form an elite team to gather detailed intelligence." Riku looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"What!" Hearing this, all the werebeasts gasped, their faces showing extreme shock.
The locations of a race's strongholds are extremely important. If a stronghold is found, it could be wiped out, which is extremely dangerous. That's why many races hide their bases very well. Now, someone was telling them he knew the general locations of all the races this news was too shocking.
