A Former Police Officer Who Died And Get A Second Life!-Chapter 126: Learning Magic

The wives showed no signs of stopping.

Qiong Xing and the others quickly finished their meals and quietly left the dining hall.

Apparently, the discussion continued for several more hours after that.

It made them realize that arguing with women was something they could never win.

"Women are scary," Leander muttered quietly.

Everyone silently nodded in agreement.

"Don’t we... have something like that?"

"Hm? What do you mean? Oh, do you mean souvenirs? Sorry. I’ll make sure to bring some next time."

When Qiong Xing apologized to Elias, the others sighed and shook their heads.

What? What was wrong?

"It’s not about souvenirs. What he’s asking is whether you have any complaints about us."

"Huh?"

What kind of question was that?

"Like the women were saying earlier. If there’s anything you want us to change, just tell us," Leander said.

Qiong Xing thought about it seriously.

But nothing came to mind.

"Hmmm... no, there’s nothing."

All three of them loved him deeply.

Each of them expressed their love in different ways and with different words, but Qiong Xing could clearly feel how much they loved him with their whole hearts.

Because of that, there was nothing that troubled him and there was nothing he wanted them to change.

If anything, it only made him happy.

That day, Qiong Xing came to the edge of the forest with Albe and Cari.

For safety reasons, they also brought Elias with them.

They chose a wide open place with as few obstacles as possible, a place where even if something happened the damage would be small.

"Alright, I’ll start teaching you... but before that... Caribert aside, do you know how much magic power you have and what attributes you can use?" Albe asked.

"I was told that my magic power is infinite, and that I can use all attributes," Qiong Xing answered.

"...Huh?"

"...What?"

"Wow, Mama is amazing!"

Just as Lunios and Solinos had explained to him before, Qiong Xing simply repeated their words.

However, Albe and Elias stared at him as if they had just heard something unbelievable.

"Huh? Wha—what... huh?"

Albe grabbed his head as if he was confused, while Elias stood there frozen in shock.

To be honest, it was understandable that they were confused.

Qiong Xing possessed something far more dangerous than even a demon like Albe.

To them, the idea of someone having that level of magic power was simply impossible for a living being and having all attributes at the same time was just as absurd.

Meanwhile, Qiong Xing himself had been living normally without even realizing how abnormal it was.

"I was surprised too when I learned about it recently," Qiong Xing said calmly. "But since it has not caused me any pain or hardship, I decided not to worry about it. More importantly, if I have it, then I should use it. For Cari and the others, I want to be able to use it properly. If I have it but cannot use it, then it has no meaning, right?"

"That’s... true... but still..." Albe said hesitantly.

"Cari will protect Mama too!"

"Thank you, Cari. Let’s work hard together," Qiong Xing replied with a gentle smile.

While Albe was still troubled by the situation, Cari was honestly happy and said he would do his best too.

Seeing Cari’s bright smile, Albe seemed to finally give up or maybe he simply chose to stop thinking about it for now.

After nodding several times, he finally decided to start teaching them magic.

"Well... to be honest, there is not much I can teach," Albe said. "First, Caribert needs to understand what attributes he can use. You have to feel the magic power inside your body. Close your eyes and try to see what color the magic flowing through your body is."

Cari closed his eyes just like he was told and tried to feel the magic power inside him.

However, it seemed difficult because a deep wrinkle soon appeared between his eyebrows.

"How many attributes can someone normally have?" Qiong Xing asked.

"For humans, at most two," Albe explained. "For demons, besides dark magic, some of them can have all four elements. But even then, having all four makes control very difficult. On top of that, the power is actually weaker compared to someone who only has two attributes."

Apparently, having all four attributes was not necessarily better.

Because a person could use many types of magic, controlling them became much more difficult.

If someone could not control their magic properly, it could become dangerous not only for the people around them but also for themselves.

For that reason, people who possessed all four attributes usually had a very hard time mastering them.

"How can someone feel their magic power?" Qiong Xing asked.

"Hmm... for that, the only way to explain it is by feeling," Albe said. "Humans can live even without magic power. But for demons, magic power is used, at least a little, for basic life activities. If it disappears, they can even die. That’s why it’s important to feel your own magic power and learn how to control it. Otherwise, your life could be in danger."

For humans, it was probably something like blood.

Qiong Xing closed his eyes and imagined something like blood flowing through his entire body.

He felt something warm like a steady pulse flowing from the tips of his toes up to his head, through his arms and legs.

"Then... if you and the others ever run out of magic power, would it be possible for me to give some of my magic power to you?" Qiong Xing asked.

"...It should be possible, but..." Albe replied slowly.

His answer sounded unusually dull, so Qiong Xing asked what was wrong.

Albe explained that demons almost never shared magic power with each other.

In the demon world, strength was everything.

Those who were weak and those with little magic power were simply abandoned.

The strong and those with great magic power stood at the top and formed the structure of the demon world.
