"No, I... am very happy, but I hope you won't say these things in front of others in the future, as it has a bad influence."

"Understood, Your Holiness."

Kairon abruptly turned his head and met Kaiku's gaze.

His eyes were filled with shock.

What exactly happened during those seven or eight seconds of silence?

Upon seeing Keron's face, Keku actually smiled:

"Look at you! You've completely overturned your previous judgment, haven't you? What kind of normal superior-subordinate communication is this?"

At that moment, he felt a very strange feeling.

He should have been more surprised and shocked than Kayron about the conversation between Leon and Britta.

Seeing Keron's shocked and distorted face, Keku felt a morbid pleasure.

Come on, let's be jealous together!

Writhe in anger and jealousy like a maggot!

Kaylon took a deep breath: "Okay, it seems I did misjudge. There is definitely something between these two."

He couldn't help but prick up his ears to hear what happened next.

"Let's get back to the main topic. In fact, Ophimaso already knows the real reason for the monster riot. When she brought her legion to suppress the monster riot a while ago, she unexpectedly found the few people we had captured before on the 39th floor."

"Kess and Utaman?"

“That’s right, it’s them. Because Ophimaso is also paying attention to the struggle between us and the Holy Blood School, and some of her people recognized Utaman.”

"I see. She also interrogated Utaman? So what she wanted to confirm with you was something related to Magiru? Because she learned from Reint's channels that Magiru was in our team?"

"Yes, it's so easy talking to you, it saves me the trouble of explaining."

"You flatter me, Your Highness. This is merely a basic deduction based on common sense. So, Your Highness, how do you intend to deal with Machiru?"

“She wants to take Machiru away, and in exchange, she will send Kess and Utaman back to us.”

"Your Highness seems to be oversimplifying things. I think with the wisdom of the Holy Maiden, she certainly wouldn't accept such conditions, would she?"

"That's right, so she made another condition."

"Could it be... that she wants Machiru to use her Divine Might Magic again?"

“That’s amazing, how did you guess that, Leon?”

"Based on my observation of the princess's entire combat strength along the way, I discovered that she has been holding back quite a few experts above the fifth rank who have not participated in the battle. At least one-third of them have been reserved. In addition, she asked the Holy Maiden for Machiru again. I know that she is planning to launch an even larger-scale operation."

Upon hearing this, Kairon and Kaiku exchanged another glance, noticing the surprise in each other's eyes.

At first, they found it a bit boring to hear Lyon and Britta talking about serious matters.

But upon hearing Leon's speculation, their attention was immediately drawn.

Because they were unaware of this.

"Your Highness is so bold?"

Kaiku asked:

"And what makes you say that at least a third of the strong fighters didn't participate?"

Kairon pondered for a moment and said:

"That's possible. Although we've had frequent group reports these past few days, there are always a few teams absent at the same time, so we haven't actually heard their reports and aren't sure if they've completed their daily tasks."

"So that's how it is. By missing each team's schedule, you've created the illusion that everyone is on the move. But what is Her Highness's motive for keeping this from us?"

Kaiku, suddenly realizing the significance of the situation, raised a new question.

Meanwhile, Bretta's response came from within the water mirror:

"That's right. Ophimaso intends to finish the job in one fell swoop and completely clear out floors 40 and 41. Not only will he suppress them, but he will also take advantage of the riot to mobilize all the monsters and complete the task of occupying the main road of floors 40 and 41."

Chapter 158 Enough said, Kaiku, they've come knocking.

"If what the saintess said is true, now I understand part of why she values ​​Lyon so much."

Kairon looked at Kaiku and said slowly.

“Indeed, if Lyon could make such an accurate prediction based on just ten minutes of observation and the information you provided, his wisdom is truly extraordinary.”

Keku had no choice but to admit it.

At that moment, Leon's voice came from the water mirror:

"Your Highness must have other motives. I believe she has concealed some information from the Holy Maiden."

"Oh, although I also think she definitely wouldn't tell the whole story, what's your basis for that?"

"While using the riots to create numerous side areas to hide monsters is a good strategy, it is undoubtedly very risky. Based on her past achievements, she is by no means a reckless person. In other words, Her Highness the Princess must have a sure chance of victory to have made such an arrangement."

"You mean she withheld information from me, and that was her winning strategy?"

“That’s right. Of course, this is just a deduction based on the situation. There is actually more important evidence that confirms my suspicions. For example, did the Holy Maiden see any of her trusted sixth-level experts or experts like Lady Timia along her journey?”

"Makes sense."

"It seems that the Holy Maiden has understood."

"You're really something, Lyon. Without your reminder, I would have almost been fooled by Ophie Marceau too."

Hearing this inexplicable conversation, Kaiku was a little confused.

He couldn't help but look at Kailong and ask, "Brother Kailong, is the absence of the experts evidence that Her Highness the Princess is confident of victory?"

Kairon slapped Kaiku on the head, speechless.

"How have you managed to survive in this cutthroat capital at your age? Can't you even understand such a simple thing?"

“I don’t understand. I know I can’t compare to you old silver coins. Tell me, Brother Kailong.”

Kaiku reluctantly acknowledged this fact.

"The key point is not that the experts are not here, but that her most trusted experts are not here."

Kairon explained helplessly:

“We’re not considered part of the direct line, you should know that, right? And since none of her closest experts participated in the meeting, they must be dealing with something more important. They’re so busy, they must have a complete plan, not just wasting their strength like headless flies.”

Kaiku managed to catch up with the train of thought this time:

"That seems to make sense. Generally speaking, experts at the fifth and sixth tiers are usually responsible for suppressing the main camp, but they were all dispatched instead. This shows that Her Highness the Princess was planning this from the beginning, rather than acting on a whim. So, was her previous act of pretending to be troubled by various problems just for our benefit?"

"More or less. It's possible that among the people she brought, there will be a few who will cause trouble."

Kaylon offered an explanation, having originally intended to listen further to what Leon and the other man had discussed.

I listened intently for a while, and then the sound suddenly stopped. I had no idea what was going on.

"Why did the sound stop again? Did they accidentally get into a romantic moment again? Damn it, damn it! Those two are definitely making out!"

Kaiku couldn't help but recall a series of unbearable images.

"Stop talking to Kaiku, they've come knocking on our door."

Upon hearing Kairon's reminder, Kaiku was startled and looked up outside the tent—

The tightly closed curtains were suddenly lifted by a slender hand.

Then, the two of them stepped in one after the other.

Aren't they Lyon and Britta?

Kaiku was immediately embarrassed. He had just been eavesdropping in front of everyone, and now he had been caught in the blink of an eye.

He didn't know if the two of them had heard what he said.

"Hey everyone, did you come here to take a dump?"

As soon as Kaiku uttered those words, he almost wanted to slap himself hard.

What kind of talk is that?

Lyon's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Britta:

“Your Holiness, it seems that my two colleagues were the ones who were eavesdropping on our conversation just now.”

A slightly amused and mischievous look appeared on Britta's face:

"Lord Kairon, you are a veteran powerhouse and renowned mage in the capital. Don't you know that you shouldn't eavesdrop on other people's conversations? Be careful not to overhear the secrets of the gods, or you'll live an uneasy life for the rest of your days."

Although Chiron was much stronger than Britta, he dared not be arrogant in front of the identity of the God's Agent.

Of course, if there were few people around, his mindset would definitely change, but here there are people coming and going, so he has more to consider.

He could only show his signature trembling and fearful expression, and bow his head as he said:

"I am ashamed, I am ashamed. I was momentarily blinded by greed and could not resist my curiosity. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Keku and I swear to the God of Knowledge that we will never reveal what we heard today! Not a single word will be uttered! If we break this oath, may we be cursed to death by the God of Knowledge!"

Kaiku also solemnly repeated the same oath.

Britta smiles:

"Yes, I have received your sincerity in admitting your mistakes."

Kairon breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that the other party didn't seem to care.

It was a close call, though, that the car overturned. How did they find out?

The magical fluctuations are too obvious?

Kaiku was also relieved. He thought to himself, "The saintess probably didn't hear me saying that the two of them were being intimate. I just hope this doesn't affect my image in her eyes."

"However, the idea that one can be forgiven for every mistake simply by admitting their wrongdoing seems to contradict the teachings of the goddess Astalia, so—"

"I understand! Your Majesty, please give me your orders! I, Chiron, will risk my life to complete them no matter what!"

Kairon immediately knelt down.

As a seasoned scoundrel, his principle is that life safety is ten times more important than dignity.

Even if he actually possessed sixth-tier strength, he wouldn't dare underestimate Britta, the agent of the gods.

Who knows if they'll unleash some hidden ultimate move when we get close enough?

Moreover, the powerful Papacy behind the other party was something he couldn't ignore.

If he wasn't eavesdropping and no trouble came his way, he wasn't afraid.

The problem is that the eavesdropping was discovered, the initiative was immediately taken away, and with the other party having a terrifying backer, things became very difficult.

Lyon then spoke up:

"Your Holiness, may I say a few words?"

Britta's eyes flickered slightly as she turned to look at Lyon. The two exchanged a glance, and she nodded, saying:

"Sure, you can arrange it."

Upon hearing this, Kairon immediately felt relieved.

It seems that Lyon has quite a bit of influence. With him involved, I shouldn't be given any orders that the Saintess can't fulfill, right?

This old man just wants to live a peaceful life until retirement.

"Vice Commander, since we are here to apologize to the Holy Maiden, this kind of ordinary thing is definitely not going to do. Please be prepared to work your butt off."

Kairon: ? ? ?

Chapter 159 Iris, your face is so red, so innocent!

the other side.

"Why hasn't Lyon come back yet?"

Iris and her companions sat casually outside a tent.
