You are all my wings!

“Since it is Lady Timia who wants to see it, I will of course not refuse, but Marquis Rhine, please ask him to leave.”

Lyon almost burst out laughing. No wonder she's Britta.

Chapter 146 Leave this place, and don't offend the Holy Maiden again.

Timia's eyebrows twitched when she heard Britta refuse.

"Your Holiness, may I ask what the reason is?"

"Because Marquis Rhine once spoke disrespectfully to the Holy Maiden, which disgraced the divine majesty of Goddess Astalia."

Lyon stepped forward at the opportune moment; these words were only meant for him to say.

Timia turned her head and saw a flash of silver enter her field of vision, followed by a handsome and mysterious face that entered her heart.

Is there really such a man in this world?

The rumors turned out to be true.

"Who is your Excellency?"

She asked the question knowing the answer already.

"Lion Belon, a court magician, is currently employed as the strategist by the side of the Holy Maiden."

Lyon bowed slightly.

"So, is it true that you spoke rudely and insulted the divine authority? Or have you misunderstood? I remember that Rhine was merely impolite by accident, not rude. The two situations are not the same! As an advisor, you should know that words cannot be spoken carelessly."

Timia squinted.

"With all those around me as witnesses, and with the goddess Astalia as an oath, I have not lied."

Lyon responded frankly.

"you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Alright, since that's the case—"

Timia stared at Leon's face for five seconds without saying a word.

Then he suddenly turned to the Marquis of Rhine beside him and said:

"Did you hear that, Rhine? Leave this place and don't offend the Saintess again."

Rhine's expression changed. What a mess this is! Why is it targeting me? All I did was say a few ambiguous things.

He leaned closer to Timia and whispered:

"Sister! This is my only chance to see the sacred murals! Once the Vatican comes and takes over, I won't be able to see them anymore!"

As is customary, all immovable facilities, sites, and ruins discovered and conquered in the dungeon belong to the first possessor and are protected by the laws of the Kingdom of Horsha.

Of course, given the fact that monsters are bred periodically, normal people generally wouldn't waste their energy trying to possess them.

For example, the area occupied has low output value, and occupying it requires withstanding the continuous attacks of monsters. As a result, it is costly and has low returns, so no one will do it for a long time.

Furthermore, this law only applies to nobles of the rank of earl or higher, or members of the papacy of bishops or paladins or higher.

People from other countries or low- to mid-level adventurers from this country who occupy the land are not protected by law.

If mid- to low-level adventurers want to occupy valuable areas they have discovered or conquered, they can only seek help from nobles or high-ranking members of the Church who can serve as their backers, and join their forces.

This was also one of the practical conditions that Lyon would have prioritized when he received Britta's offer to recruit him.

As a saint, she could, of course, publicly declare that this place belonged to the Holy See and had great practical binding power.

Timia smiled at Rhine but said nothing.

Rhine felt Timiya's gaze was piercing, and fear gripped him, leaving him speechless.

He glared at Leon resentfully, then turned and left.

As for Reint and his companions, without Marquis Rhine leading the way, they naturally didn't dare to venture into the Saintess's territory alone, and slunk away with her.

As he left, John couldn't resist nudging Reynolds' shoulder:

"Brother Rente, it seems we've gone astray in our lives."

"I'll say it again, I'm not your older brother! And a little bit of missteps on the road doesn't count as being off-track!"

"Don't say that, Brother Rent. I just misunderstood you before. I didn't mean any harm."

"You saying you meant no harm hurts me even more, you bastard!"

Behind the two, Hossil and Sally exchanged a glance: "These two idiots."

……

After the Marquis of Rhine and his men left.

Timia slowly walked up to Leon:

"I've heard so much about you, Leon Berlón."

"I am but a lowly court magician, unworthy of your attention, madam."

Lyon responded modestly, but was somewhat surprised.

Could it be that the identity of the Enchanting Fairy Captor that Chiron promoted for himself has already reached the noblewoman Timia?

"No, you're very famous in my circle."

Timia wore a charming smile, her eyes darting around as if hooks could reach out and grab anyone's attention.

"Having met her today, I can see that she truly lives up to her reputation. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but her mysterious aura is also captivating."

Is it a bit too bold for a married person to say that?

Lyon noticed several very sharp gazes in his peripheral vision, making him feel uneasy.

At that moment, Timia reached out and touched Leon's cheek.

Lyon decisively took three steps back.

"Lady Timia, didn't you want to see the sacred murals?"

At that moment, Britta walked over with a mysterious smile and met Timia's gaze.

Timia clicked her tongue and covered her mouth with a laugh:

"Since it was the Holy Maiden who invited me, then I will go and observe carefully."

She swayed her hips as she walked toward the sacred mural.

As they passed Lyon, they suddenly reached out and grabbed Lyon.

Lyon was very wary and immediately retreated.

"Oh, so agile for a magician? Impressive. What a pity, I'd like to touch your hand and feel those enchanting fingers."

Timia left with a charming giggle and quickly went to the vicinity of the sacred murals, where she examined them back and forth.

Iris walked to Leon's side, looked solemnly at Timia, and then warned Leon:

"This guy is definitely up to something when he tries to seduce you, Leon. Be careful, don't fall for this wicked woman's tricks!"

Maggie also came over:

"Iris, when did you become so good at judging people? I feel the same way."

"Master Machiru, you truly understand me; you are my most trusted partner!"

Iris nodded repeatedly, moved.

Leon smiled and patted Iris's head:

"Don't worry, I'm not so easily swayed by that blatant temptation. As for her purpose, we'll find out naturally once we see what she does."

Maggie glanced at the two of them and snorted:

"Lyon, having buried many playboys, I must also give you a piece of advice: do you know what's the easiest thing for a man to do to bring about his death?"

Seeing that Maggie had a displeased look on her face, Leon laughed and said:

"It is up to you to tell me, Master Machiru!"

Although he followed Iris's style and addressed her as Master Magiro, his tone was clearly teasing.

However, it's unclear whether Maggie didn't understand or not, but she said:

"The easiest way for a man to bring death upon himself is by flirting with bees and butterflies, and then attracting thorny roses and poisonous bees!"

She turned and walked away.

Iris covered her mouth and said, "Master Magiru seems very angry. It's strange, she's not usually this bad-tempered."

Leon shrugged and said, "Never mind her. Speaking of which, Iris, did you glean anything from the sacred mural? You seem different from before."

Iris couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe, I'm so happy! You're the first person to notice the change in me."

“It’s nothing, I’ve been watching you the whole time, Iris.”

Lyon could utter sweet nothings to Iris without hesitation.

"Then tell me, what changes have occurred in me?"

Iris looked at Lyon, her beautiful emerald-yellow eyes full of anticipation.

Lyon was startled.

Here comes one of the questions women most want to ask men: How do I look different today?

Chapter 147: I was actually teased by Iris?

Lyon smiled and said, "Iris, your magic has improved quite a bit."

Play a safe card first.

He could see the information on the panel. In the past few days, Iris's magic power had surged again, increasing by 5 points in one go.

Current total: 104 points.

It is evident that she can gain additional benefits from the sacred murals.

Iris nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what else?"

Her eyes were so pitiful.

"Your hair."

Leon brushed aside a strand of Iris's beautiful, light blue hair that had fallen across her forehead, rubbed his index finger and thumb together slightly, and then sniffed it:

"There's a wonderful fragrance, like a forest in the morning sunlight, with a vibrant and burgeoning feeling. It seems your physical condition has improved as well?"

Iris stood with her hands on her hips, a proud look on her face.

"As expected of my commander, he even noticed this. That's right! I've completed my bloodline sublimation!"

Bloodline sublimation is a unique method used by long-lived species.

When breaking through major hurdles such as the fourth, seventh, and ninth tiers, one can undergo a bloodline sublimation.

This bloodline sublimation doesn't directly improve attributes, but it makes the body more adaptable to the changes of the new rank, allowing for a faster rate of improvement.

For the same attribute consumption, you will also gain more recovery efficiency.

This is a racial talent that cannot be envied. We should thank our ancestors for having established great achievements long ago, becoming strong enough to protect countless descendants.

However, generally speaking, after advancing to the fourth rank, it takes at least half a year to complete the bloodline sublimation.

Iris completed it in just a few days, which shows that she must have gained a lot from the sacred mural.

This is truly a unique and invincible protagonist's aura.

"However, Lyon, are these the only two changes you've noticed?"

Iris gave a seemingly innocent smile.
