Britta asked the question knowing the answer already.

"It's me, Britta. I suddenly remembered I have something to discuss with you. I hope I haven't bothered you?"

Behind Ophimosa followed a short, masked man, none other than the assassin king, Xuertuo.

"Let me introduce you. This is Wang Xuertuo, a sixth-tier assassin and my good friend."

Ophim Marceau then looked behind Britta:

"Breita, introduce me to your friends too. I heard you've befriended an elven diplomat and even found a strategist skilled in shadow magic?"

Upon hearing this, Lyon's heart skipped a beat; the princess was implying something.

Could it be that based on the traces just now, the person eavesdropping might have mastered shadow stealth skills, and then, recalling the information provided by Reint earlier, guessed that he might be the eavesdropper?

That makes sense. Since he was able to find traces of Chiron's eavesdropping magic, it's normal for the other party to find traces of him as well.

Fortunately, they weren't caught red-handed, which is the best news, allowing them to make excuses at will.

Britta also keenly sensed that Ophimasso doubted Léon, and immediately smiled:

"Let's put the introduction aside for now, Ophimaso, and tell me why you've come to see me at this time."

"Oh, sorry, I got so interested in your new friend that I forgot about the important thing. Well, I just noticed a shadow peeping at me while I was taking a shower."

As Ophimasso spoke, a sly, fox-like glint flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lyon cursed inwardly, thinking, "This is a terrible smear!"

At the same time, Iris, who was meditating beside him, moved her body almost imperceptibly. The movement was so slight that it was clear she was trying her best to suppress her body.

However, the astute Ophimasso clearly wouldn't miss the opportunity to observe everyone's reactions after she said that.

Chapter 162 If you see my body, you have to marry me

As she glanced around, Ophimasso smiled. At that moment, Britta subtly moved closer to Ophimasso, blocking her view.

"I can't believe you had the time to take a bath while suppressing a monster riot in the dungeon."

"Today we have welcomed such a great help from you. I have been fighting for many days and I am truly filthy. I dare not offend the eyes of a holy person like you."

"A pure heart leads to a pure body. God does not care about outward filth, but only about the purity of the soul."

Britta said calmly.

She deliberately avoided mentioning the alleged spying incident again.

In her opinion, it was absolutely impossible for it to be such a coincidence.

Lyon breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Britta was the type to be emotionally stable and could see through Ophimasso's divisive tactics at a glance.

Of course, from their conversation, Lyon suspected that Ophim Marceau had already identified him, but he just didn't have any evidence.

This guy is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

"Wonderful! The Divine Interventionist is truly thought-provoking!"

Ophim Marceau exclaimed:

"That's why I've come to you today, Britta, to see if you can use divine revelation to catch this little spy."

So-called divine revelation refers to the unique prayer ability of those who possess divine protection. Through sincere and prolonged prayer, they gain divine attention and receive divine guidance.

This is also known simply as divine revelation.

Even those with the lowest level of divine protection have a chance to receive it if they are devout enough.

As for Britta, a protector and agent of the gods, it's safe to say that her prayers are always answered. Of course, the amount of divine revelation she receives will vary depending on the circumstances.

But at least Britta could ensure that every prayer was answered.

"To disturb the gods with such a petty thief is making a mountain out of a molehill."

Britta, of course, refused.

"That's not as simple as a petty thief, Britta, do you know the rules of my royal family?"

"what?"

"Any man who sees my body must marry me."

Ophimasso said slowly.

Even Britta, with her composure, couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Lyon: ? ? ?

The key point is that Ophimosa didn't even take a shower.

Is this guy really going this far to catch the person who leaked the information?

Although this rule did exist, generally speaking, if a man saw a princess naked, the result was usually beheading.

There is only a very, very small chance of hitting the jackpot and turning one's fortunes around.

"Your royal family's rules are too outdated."

Britta quickly regained her composure and criticized without holding back.

“Breita, take back what you said. Our rules may be outdated, but they were ultimately set by our demigod ancestors, weren’t they?”

Orpheus invoked the name of his demigod ancestor.

Although this demigod has been dead for a long time, the name of a demigod must not be dishonored, which is a habit that everyone has from the bottom of their hearts.

Britta nodded slowly: "I take back that criticism, but you know in your heart whether it's outdated or not, don't you?"

"Anyway, I need your help to find this little spy, Britta. Just name your price."

“Your royal rules are none of my business, and I will not pray to the gods for guidance because of other people’s affairs. Please go back, Ophimaso.”

"Alright, since you put it that way, let's do it that way."

Ophimosa seemed to have anticipated Britta's rejection.

Or rather, all of this was just an excuse from the beginning.

She glanced at Lyon for a moment, then suddenly walked over.

"You are the legendary Leon Belon? I've heard so much about you."

With the princess speaking so close to him, even Leon could no longer pretend to be meditating.

He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of confusion appearing in them, then he looked up to observe, and then stood up with a look of trepidation.

"Your Highness, I am so sorry for your rudeness. I was in a deep meditative state and did not notice your arrival. Please forgive me!"

"No need for such formalities in the dungeon."

A faint smile appeared on Ophie Marceau's lips:

"I've heard so much about you. You're a second-tier mage, a second-tier shadowwalker named Leon Belon. You're not only a court mage but also Britta's strategist. You once single-handedly slew a powerful second-tier monster, a juvenile dragon, and you were also the capturer of the Enchanting Fairy and the commander of the fifth-tier pseudo-wisdom tree's conquest, right?"

Lyon was speechless; he hadn't expected Ophie Marceau to have investigated him so thoroughly.

No, others may not know, but Britta will definitely keep track of the fact that she's recruiting a strategist.

With prior monitoring and intelligence from Reynolds' team and Lady Timia, it's not surprising that she figured out a lot of things.

"Your Highness is too kind. I only did something insignificant within the framework of the team."

Lyon quickly yielded.

If this woman targets us again, things will become very difficult.

"No, your talent goes far beyond just having a team. As the commander, I don't underestimate your contributions like others do. The outcome of the same battle will be vastly different with and without you in command."

Ophim Marceau exclaimed:

"Lyon Belon, if you ever become unhappy here with the Saintess, you are always welcome to come to me. I will definitely give you a good enough position to make the most of your talents!"

As she spoke, she looked at Britta and smiled slightly:

"Breita, I hope you don't mind me saying this to your face. I just can't bear to see such a talented person unable to use his abilities. After all, how can commanding a mere few third-tier knights compare to commanding a large army?"

Wow, Orpheus is quite the tea connoisseur.

Leon sighed inwardly, realizing that he hadn't thought Orpheus was so cunning when he played the game in his previous life; he only saw her as a female character with great leadership and heroism.

It's quite surprising that Britta is showing such a side of herself.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I have already made up my mind to follow the Holy Maiden. Please forgive me for not being able to reciprocate your kindness; I can only appreciate it in my heart."

Britta remained silent, and Lyon spoke up at that opportune moment.

"It's okay, people will change eventually, I can wait."

Ophie Marceau glanced back at Lyon one last time:

"By the way, your shadow skills are quite good, I admire them very much."

"Your Highness is too kind. I haven't used this skill for a while now. I wonder where you saw me use it?"

Lyon responded calmly.

This guy can set up linguistic traps any minute; you'll be in trouble if you're not careful.

"When I saw it is not important. What is important is that you'd better be careful of your surroundings next time you use this skill. If there is an assassin king like Xuertuo around, then you'll be exposed."

Ophie Marceau met Leon's gaze with a half-smile.

Chapter 163 Ophimaso's Attributes, Quest

"Your Highness, rest assured, I will only use my skills when facing monsters, so I am not afraid of human experts."

Lyon countered each move with a different strategy.

But hasn't Ophimasso already confirmed that he is the eavesdropper? Why is he still testing him repeatedly?

What is her purpose?

Lyon was on guard.

At this moment, Britta coughed lightly: "Your Highness, if you are just going to chat, please go back first. We still need to meditate. There are quite a few wounded people who need to be treated tomorrow."

"Well, I was in a really good mood talking to your advisor today, so I couldn't help but chat a little longer. Don't mind, Britta."

Ophimasso smiled and greeted Britta, then turned and left.

“Let’s go, Xuertuo. Let’s continue to catch that peeping thief. If he refuses to marry me, I’ll kill him.”

The short, masked man, Xuertuo, silently nodded to Britta and then followed.

After the two walked about twenty meters from the tent, Ophimasso asked:

"how?"

“He deliberately disrupted his breathing rhythm, which was completely different from what he had shown before. Based on just this observation, it is impossible to determine whether he is Leon Belon.”

Xu Ertuo said slowly.

"But his professional skills are the most suspicious, and judging from his answer just now, it seems like he knows I suspect him."

Ophimasso pondered.

What does Your Highness think?

“It must be him. I didn’t expect Britta to be so bold as to send someone to spy on my territory. However, Leon Belon’s skills are indeed versatile and he is very suitable for spying on all kinds of secret information.”

"Then I'll find an opportunity to kill Leon Belon?"

Xu Ertuo made a throat-slitting gesture.

"No need. He is a rare talent in command, and according to the intelligence we have recently gathered, Leon Belon has something that everyone has overlooked, but which is of a very high level."

"Command skills?"

"No, his command ability is secondary. The key is that he knows all the weaknesses and shortcomings of the monsters like the back of his hand. He can tell the fastest way to win against each kind of monster with just one glance. This ability is as if he had conquered the Auradu dungeon in his previous life."

Ophimosa slowly recounted many details he had seen in the intelligence.
