You are all my wings!

Langley neither admitted nor denied it.

Lyon didn't say anything more.

Admittedly, he also made mistakes.

He originally thought that given the abundance of talent around Ophimaso, and the importance of turning the sixth-order Shadow Demon Spider into an alchemical puppet to Ophimaso, he should have made backup plans in advance to ensure the smooth execution of this crucial step.

Therefore, in theory, all Machiru needs to do on this trip is cooperate steadily with Andrio to train the sixth-tier Shadowless Demon Spider.

Unexpectedly, their plan had such a big flaw.

As for the claim that the Life Alchemy caused the Shadow Spider to awaken prematurely, Leon certainly didn't believe it.

Judging from the content of the other party's description and reaction alone, it is clear that Langley was not being sincere.

Fortunately, Maggie is not in mortal danger; she has only temporarily fallen into a coma due to the intense mental pollution.

"Once Maggie wakes up, I'll find out what happened. My friend, I thank you in advance for bringing Maggie back. If it turns out that what you said is true, I will apologize for my rudeness just now. But if I find out that you have really done anything unethical, don't blame me for taking some inappropriate actions."

Leon said this, then stopped looking at Langley, picked up Maggie, and turned to go back to camp.

It's not that he's looking for trouble, but rather that he has to express the right stance.

Upon hearing this, Langley wanted to say something more, but seeing that Leon had already returned to his tent, she sighed and muttered to herself:

"Sigh, I didn't want to see this happen either, but I had no choice at the time."

Chapter 177 You're worried about me, Maggie?

Maggie opened her eyes with a headache.

Dim candlelight, indistinct silhouettes.

These circumstances reminded Machiru of the fear of being dominated by mental pollution, causing her body to tremble slightly.

“You’re awake, Maggie.”

Leon walked over and touched Maggie's forehead:

"You had a fever for half a day, but it seems you're completely better now."

"Looks like I'm back safely."

Maggie gazed at Lyon, and for some reason, she felt much calmer.

“Do you remember what happened before? Tell me briefly, Machiru.”

"My mind is a bit muddled right now, I need to think about it carefully."

"Don't rush. I heard that you did defeat the Shadow Spider in the first ten hours, right? What method did you use to successfully trap the Shadow Spider? With the strength of this monster, ordinary methods shouldn't have been able to trap it."

Lyon first asked his question.

"It's the Great Magician Tang De. He's carrying a special magical artifact that requires multiple spellcasters to infuse it with magic power to activate. Once activated, the Shadow Spiders actively rushed towards us from the demonic tide and relentlessly entangled with us."

Maggie Lu sorted through her memories and slowly explained.

"So that's how it is. It's not an encirclement, but a targeted taunting magical artifact? It requires so many casters to infuse magic power. Could it be a sixth-tier quasi-secret treasure, the Demon Spirit God-Breaking Platform?"

Based on his memories from his past life, Leon made a deduction.

"Yes, it's a small square platform."

"That seems to be the case. I didn't expect Ophimosa to give away items of this caliber. It seems she was well-prepared."

Lyon pondered for a moment, then asked:

"Then why did the Life Alchemy fail after finally defeating the Shadow Spider?"

"I'm not sure, but I guess either the mentor did something to wake up the Shadow Spider ahead of time, or there was a problem with the sedative drugs provided by the legion."

Maggie shook her head; she was also confused about the situation at the time.

Next, she described the situation in detail:

"It was about the third minute of the life alchemy. I was focused on the life alchemy magic when I suddenly noticed that the Shadow Spider was showing signs of awakening. But I was very immersed in the spell at that time. By the time I noticed it, my mentor had already retreated before me. When I interrupted the spell, the Shadow Spider's magic attack was already coming this way."

"So the blunt force trauma to your chest was inflicted by the Shadow Demon Spider?"

"Yes, but the other parts were accidentally injured by the Legion's Tier 5 warriors during the retreat... But now that I think about it, maybe it wasn't an accident."

At this point, Maggie's mental state gradually improved, and she even gritted her teeth when talking about the person who accidentally injured her.

Although in normal legion battles, it is very common to be accidentally injured or trampled by teammates once chaos ensues.

However, considering that both sides are highly skilled and have strong self-control, the probability of accidental injury should be very low.

The possibility of personal grudges should also be taken into account.

"That big wound on his left arm was from a spear tip, right? That fifth-tier warrior used a gun? Do you remember his name?"

"I heard from them that his name is Remy."

"Were they all accidentally injured by Remy's men?"

"Yes, he was accidentally injured twice, but the others were mainly due to the aftershocks of the battle with the Shadow Spider."

"Okay, I understand. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Li... Master, you know so much, what do you want to do?"

"Maggie couldn't help but ask," Maggie asked.

She felt that since there was no evidence, and they were under each other's roof, Leon wouldn't act impulsively to retaliate, would he?

Although, according to her nature, she would definitely want to retaliate fiercely to satisfy her desires.

But that was her style when she was in the Holy Blood School, where internal strife was never taboo.

Now that she is Lyon's woman, and this is a legitimate kingdom, wouldn't seeking revenge for something without evidence cause a lot of trouble?

Seeing this, Leon patted Maggie's head:

"You're worried about me, Maggie? That's strange."

"Hmph! How would I know what you're planning to do?"

Maggie turned her head away and discovered that everyone except herself and Leon was still meditating.

Unconsciously, a hint of secret joy flashed through her mind, though she didn't understand where this joy came from.

"Don't worry, I'll first find out why this person 'accidentally' injured you, whether it was due to your personal grudge, our team's 'personal grudge,' or some other deliberate act of sabotage. I won't let my anger cloud my judgment and do anything that would please the enemy, nor will I let the real mastermind get away with it."

"Then I'm relieved. Rather than you rushing to argue, I hope you can take actions that are more beneficial to our overall situation."

Maggie breathed a sigh of relief.

But as soon as she said that, Leon's gaze towards her suddenly turned strange.

"What, what's wrong with what I said?"

"Yes, there is a very, very big problem."

Lyon smiled.

"What exactly is the problem?"

Maggie noticed that Leon's laughter was getting stranger and stranger, but she didn't know what he was laughing at, and she started to feel a little flustered.

What did I say?

What exactly is the problem?

"Haha, I won't spell it out. Machiru, you should get some rest. There's probably going to be a second monster rampage later tonight, so make sure you recover all your strength as soon as possible, just in case."

Lyon said something, then seemed to remember something:

"By the way, your magic robe is all tattered now. Let me give you an inner lining to change into, so you don't accidentally expose yourself."

"Exposure?"

When Maggie looked down, she discovered that there were cuts on many parts of her thighs and abdomen.

It was covered in blood before, so you couldn't see anything.

But after Lyon healed the wound, her fair and smooth skin became very clearly visible.

She first covered it with her hand, then realized it wasn't necessary and snorted:

"What's a little bit of exposure! You've seen me completely naked, and more than once!"

"If you're willing to let me continue watching, I don't mind."

Lyon shrugged.

"Well, never mind then, just lend me your lining."

She had fallen 41 floors alone before being found by Leon. Apart from the magical item she was carrying, she had lost almost all her other belongings.

The thought of wearing Lyon's lining suddenly made her feel nervous for some reason.

Strange, why am I so aware of this?

I shouldn't have felt anything before.

Thump, thump.

She lowered her head and reached out to take the lining that Leon offered her.

*Smack!*

Suddenly, she felt her wrist being grabbed by a delicate hand.

Is this Iris's hand?

Maggie looked up and saw that it was indeed Iris.

She had woken up at some point and was standing between herself and Leon, holding Leon with one hand and herself with the other.

Chapter 178 You want to wear men's underwear on your own skin?

“Magical, the lining of Lyon is still too big for you. Why don’t you wear my spare clothes?”

Maggie suddenly felt that Iris's eyes had become terrifying.

Originally, her mental stance was far superior to Iris's, but now, she was suddenly stunned by Iris's gaze and did not make any unnecessary movements.

This guy seems to have made up his mind.

Then I can't lose either.

Maggie smiles:

"Let's use Lyon's. It's a bit bigger and can cover the knees. With your lining, Iris, it will only cover the upper thighs at most, so it won't be very effective."

Her eyes changed too.

Become steadfast and resolute.

After being intimidated by Iris at first glance, she immediately rallied.

"Oh, are you sure you want to wear a man's lining on your skin? As expected of Maggie, you're so bold."

Iris gave a soft compliment.

"It's fine. As long as it's Lyon's, I'm fine with it. After all, my master and I have already established a deep soul contract. With this kind of relationship, mere clothes are nothing."

Maggie and Iris were about the same strength. The two of them had already grabbed Leon's lining and were wrestling over the thin garment, secretly competing with each other as they pulled and tugged.

Sure enough, after this fake sisterhood broke down, even with Leon's attempts to smooth things over, the two still seemed to have a tacit understanding about their true intentions.

Lyon was speechless. What kind of mess was this?

But he couldn't very well say, "Iris, stop arguing, I'll give you a lining too."

If that were really said, it would definitely provoke a sense of shared hatred between the two of them, leading them to launch a joint attack on him.

It's a headache. Although he had multiple girlfriends in his previous life, he usually only had one at a time, and he had never encountered this situation before.

What should I do?
