You are all my wings!

"I'm not wearing a child's skin, I just won't grow up! I won't grow up, you know? Don't be fooled by how small it is inside, it's fully developed! You don't believe me? Want to touch it, you boring master!"

Upon hearing this, Iris blushed slightly; Maggie was far too bold compared to her.

But wouldn't that put us at a disadvantage?

Iris couldn't help but say:

"Ahem, Leon, actually I'm quite well-developed too..."

Britta's face darkened; even at this moment, Leon was still flirting with these two innocent girls.

The key point is that these two are so easily flirted with.

Sigh, compared to those two, I'm still too cautious.

She was filled with emotion.

At this moment, Lyon said, "You two have had enough. With someone as capable as Britta right in front of you, there's no need to compare yourselves, is there?"

I'm got something going on?

A warm sensation crept up her neck and rushed to her head. Britta couldn't help but glare at Leon again. This guy really didn't care about the occasion!

But why do I feel a little happy?

She smiled at Maggie and Iris: "Your figures are quite appropriate for your current age. As Leon said, don't worry too much about that."

Maggie was speechless. Britta's smile had a vibe of a victor condescendingly comforting a loser.

Don't be afraid, you've just lost to age?

Bullshit, you, Britta, are the youngest in terms of actual age, okay?

Many people know about the saint's experiences, and it's not hard to guess her age; she's currently only 26.

Maquill had previously learned through subtle questioning that Iris's actual age was 36, five years older than herself.

Of course, since Maggie doesn't grow up or age, she looks like a normally developing twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

As for Iris, being a long-lived species, although she looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old human girl, according to the pure-blooded elf's calculations, her mental age is about the same as Machiru's apparent age.

In other words, both Iris and Magiru were severely attacked by Britta's words.

Maquill felt she clearly sensed the 'contempt' in Britta's eyes and flew into a rage!

She was about to say something—

"Ahem, I say, with a formidable enemy at hand, isn't it a bit inappropriate to discuss this?"

Lyon interrupted with a question.

The three of them glanced over at the same time:

"Didn't you bring it up first?"

Lyon sensed something was wrong and immediately adopted a serious expression, changing the subject:

"I was mainly talking about the previous prisoners, Utaman and Kess. I have some considerations regarding these two."

"What are your considerations?"

Britta's attention was indeed diverted; after all, she was still very mindful of the difference between business and personal matters.

"First of all, these two people have considerable potential and their sins are not too great. If we can win them over and make them our own people, that would be good."

Lyon had barely finished explaining when he heard Miro's loud cries for help coming from afar.

He looked around and saw seven or eight fourth and third-tier goblins crossing the gap in the magic circle and heading towards the area where the magic circle was set up.

It looks like they're trying to destroy this defensive magic array.

Meanwhile, Karl and his companions intercepted another group of goblins, but they were also stretched thin.

These little goblins are very precise in their targeting; they don't seem to be an ordinary rioting monster horde.

The distance between the two is approximately 150 meters.

Lyon frowned and raised his hand, pointing forward.

This is a good opportunity to put my newly acquired intermediate magic, which I've mastered to a minimum.

With a wave of his hand, the area of ​​more than 20 meters where the seven or eight goblins were located suddenly turned into a large black swamp!

Splash!

The little goblins immediately got stuck in the mud as they rushed forward, and the more they struggled, the deeper they sank.

Whether it was third-order or fourth-order, it was swallowed up in just a moment.

Maggie's eyes widened:

"An instant-cast, no-cast intermediate earth magic spell, Little Swamp?"

She couldn't help but be shocked.

Leon is a second-tier cultivator, not a fourth-tier cultivator like her, and he doesn't have the fourth-tier enhancement!

How could such a powerful intermediate spell be cast without the support of a fourth-tier class?

"Li... my dear and venerable master, you didn't also glean this from the sacred murals, did you?"

"Hmm, maybe half and half? No, it should be 70% thanks to the sacred murals."

After thinking about it, Leon realized that he had managed to do the remaining 29.9% by recalling the details of the resonance, and that made sense.

As for the soul-purifying effect of flirting with Iris, it's best to keep that a secret.

"you you……"

Maggie looked at Leon, her eyes gleaming with desire.

Chapter 182 can only be done when Iris is not around, right?

"What do you want, Maggie?"

Lyon noticed that Maggie was poised to pounce at any moment.

Just as he said this, Maggie suddenly slid to her knees, grabbed Leon's thigh, pressed her face against his hip, and raised her large, watery eyes:

"Tell me how to decipher the sacred murals, my dear and venerable master!"

"Didn't you tell me you knew?"

"Uh...that's not important! Just tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it!"

Maggieru knew that she couldn't imitate Britta's method; it was a method that only those who had a connection with the gods could use.

As for Iris, she had already hinted at it before the relationship broke down. Her method of understanding was also quite unique and closely related to her profession as a Light Elementalist.

She estimated that it was because the Holy and Light attributes were highly similar, and the Long-lived species were quite special.

Of these people, only Leon's method, being a normal human being, is of reference value.

Now that Lyon is repeatedly showing off the results he has learned from the sacred murals, how can she not be envious?

At this moment, Leon stroked his chin:

"You really can do anything?"

Maggie blinked, then her shoulders twitched and her face shrank:

"Of course, something like last time won't do. At the very least, we have to wait until Iris isn't around before we can do it, right?"

Beside her, Iris shot her a cold look.

She reached out and grabbed Maggie's shoulder, her expression a mixture of a smile and a sneer.

“Miss Machiru, what do you mean by ‘things that can only be done when I’m not around’? Don’t try to confuse us with ambiguous statements. Besides, it’s still a battle, so don’t disrupt everyone’s plans.”

"Anyway, Leon has already dealt with those little goblins. I'm having a private chat with my dear and respectable master. You outsider, get out of my way! Leon is my master, that's a clear and public relationship. And you, Iris, what is your relationship with my master?"

Maggie retorted.

What is your relationship with Lyon?

These words effectively shut Iris up.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say, "Lyon is my lover," but she seemed to freeze, unable to utter a single word.

Maggieru wins big!

She stood up with her head held high and said proudly:

"My dear and respectable master, after this battle is over, you must tell me how to comprehend it. If you're willing to tell me, I'll do anything for you!"

Does this guy really understand what it means to do everything for you?

Leon shook his head: "Let's talk about it then."

He glanced at Iris again; this girl's skin was getting thinner and thinner.

After thinking for a moment, he patted Iris on the shoulder and smiled:

"Iris, you are my most important team member. Our comradeship is the strongest. Don't listen to Machiru's nonsense."

"Oh, yes, that's right."

Iris replied with a mixture of disappointment and relief, unaware that she was slurring her words.

She was both disappointed that Leon hadn't indicated a deeper relationship between them, and relieved that he hadn't made things too complicated.

This wonderful feeling is very subtle.

It wasn't that she didn't want Leon to remain silent, but rather that she didn't want him to speak carelessly.

Iris didn't even realize that her mindset had become so complicated, even though she had previously thought she could face everything with ease.

Not long after this incident, the Four Horsemen discovered several more small monsters that had managed to sneak in through gaps in the magical barrier. Fortunately, there weren't many of them, and the four Horsemen easily suppressed them by using magic to provide ranged support.

Each person possesses their own signature intermediate-level spell, with a range that extends quite far, reaching up to two or three hundred meters.

Standing around the camp, even the slightest movement allows them to provide support to all sides.

Lyon estimated that only 15 minutes had passed since the battle began, and four small groups of monsters had already slipped through. It seemed that the intercepting forces were under great pressure and had been forced to abandon the large groups of monsters that had been scattered.

Based on the normal rhythm, the first day of the monster influx is the peak period, with the peak monster tide occurring around the fifth or sixth hour, and its impact is unparalleled.

It will gradually fall back down after the sixth hour.

In other words, the pressure on the defending side in this battle will not be small either.

The casual chat we just had was only because the interception troops were at their most energetic and strongest before the battle.

"If things continue like this, the battle situation will definitely tilt drastically. I'll go get some fresh monsters to cook and replenish my magic and stamina. You guys will take care of the long-range support later."

Lyon gave a brief instruction, and a figure leaped and sank into the ground.

The remaining three women exchanged glances, then silently took out monster jerky and began to eat.

Spending so much time with Leon, they unconsciously developed this habit of replenishing their energy at any time.

Just over twenty seconds later, Leon returned, dragging two four-meter-tall monsters with him.

One is a fourth-tier Blood Scorpion, a distant relative of the Shadow Scorpion, a common monster, considered a rare species. Although its combat strength is not high, but—

According to the Dietary Guidelines, the meat from the tail of a blood scorpion is highly nutritious!

It is very helpful in improving physical fitness, strength, and sensory acuity.

Lyon hadn't expected to be so lucky today, managing to catch this fish that had slipped through the net.

As expected of a super riot that could shake the entire 41st floor, even such rare species have come out.

The other is the fourth-order Green Needle Bee.

This is an old friend of mine; I even encountered one that Andrio had turned into an alchemical golem.

This is also mentioned in the Dietary Guidelines. Using offal meat may increase magic power, which is considered a normal level of enhancement.

Lyon chose it because it was the best of a bad bunch; there was nothing better, so he opted for this potentially useful item as a last resort.

Upon returning to his tent, he immediately set up a large pot and began dismantling the body at a rapid pace while boiling water.

Due to the urgency of the battle, he could only resort to the quickest method: boiling the food and sprinkling it with some marinade spices.
