You are all my wings!

"It's okay, don't be so shy, the enemy will find it strange."

"I, I'm not shy!"

Maggie suddenly straightened her back.

However, her hand never left Lyon's grasp.

When Lyon looked, he noticed a rare blush on her fair cheeks. Normally, she could definitely suppress this heat.

Before the enemy arrived, Leon took another look at the panel.

Wait, Maggie's affection level is already 90%?

Why is it rising so sharply?

When Leon saw the favorability rating, he immediately realized that the threshold was indeed 90%. He had thought that the standards for villains and protagonists were different.

But I haven't done much, so why is it so easy for Maggie's affection level to rise?

The legendary Stockholm?

Or is she the type whose popularity skyrockets once certain points are touched?

For example, was the time when she comforted her wounded heart a pivotal event?

Outrageous.

He sighed for a moment, then continued examining the document.

Lyon was somewhat surprised after reading this series of panel messages.

Machiru's true attributes are so strong!

Potential S++, a level above Iris.

With a lifespan of three thousand years, it can even rival purebred dragons of the same rank!

Not to mention that her magical power is four times the limit, and her other attributes are all above three times the limit.

Of course, according to the notes, Machiru can only exert a maximum of one-third of her attribute power at present.

After a third of that, he's only slightly stronger than an ordinary fourth-tier spellcaster, equivalent to a seasoned fourth-tier human spellcaster, far from being comparable to Iris and Britta in their current form.

In other words, what you saw in the game in your previous life was only Machiru's surface attributes, attributes suppressed by the monster bloodline.

No wonder Maquill, who possesses the demon bloodline feared even by the gods, is far inferior to Iris and Britta in combat.

Leon previously thought that Machiru's power, suppressed by the demon bloodline, was at most one-fifth, but it turned out that it was suppressed by two-thirds.

It is clear that the Demon race is indeed astonishing.

But what methods did Andrio use to successfully transform Machiru into an artificial demon?

Could it be that Andrio's research materials contain a lot of ancient artifacts?

Leon recalled some of the documents he had obtained last time (from the body of Iris's father) and planned to study them carefully when he got back.

He had glanced at the thing once and could understand the general experimental procedure, but he hadn't studied the specific experimental values ​​in detail yet.

After all, he currently only has a basic understanding of alchemy.

However, now that he knows Maquill can only exert one-third of her power, Leon understands even more how much mental stress she usually bears.

Looking at her, I couldn't help but feel a bit more affection. I should try to control my strength when I tease her in the future.

As for the "90% favorability rating" column, which says "can enter the spirit-sharing mode," it did pique Leon's interest.

Does this mean that having 90% favorability with different characters results in different effects?

For example, 90% of Iris's first flirting session can enhance her magic (divided into two modes: light and deep), and 95% of her flirting session can enter the soul purification mode.

90% of Machiru's is a soul-sharing mode.

The question is, what's the point of soul sharing?

Could it increase mental strength?

If it could really boost the mental strength that's already at its limit in this era, that would be awesome.

According to the background information Leon knew, long ago in this world, no one could increase their spiritual power because of the suppression of the authority of ancient gods.

That's why magicians are so rare in this day and age.

In ancient times, magicians were everywhere.

Soul-based magic, such as the contract magic mastered by Leon, was also developed in that era.

Considering the enemy was in front of him, Leon could only suppress his curiosity and forcibly shift his attention to what was ahead.

"Magical, remember to wait for my command."

"Okay, I understand."

Langley and her group, carrying the severed bear paws, climbed over the gap in the magic circle and arrived in front of Leon and his companion.

"Lord Leon, Lord Machiru, thank you both for your help. Thanks to your exquisite, artful magic, we all survived this battle with only a few casualties! We are truly grateful!"

Langley approached Lyon and his companion, carrying a bear paw, and bowed respectfully.

She was holding the bear paw because the bears that Machiru killed all had relatively intact paws left, so she understood that this was the spoils they wanted.

Lyon smiled slightly:

"It was just a small act of kindness, yet you were on the front line, using your own flesh and blood to hold back the ferocious monsters. Your courage and perseverance are truly admirable."

"You flatter us, sir. We simply did what we do best."

Langley's gaze towards Leon now held nothing but respect.

Putting everything else aside, as a second-tier mage, she had never heard of anyone casting two powerful intermediate spells in a row without experiencing any mana depletion.

No, apart from dragons, probably no other long-lived species can do that, right?

Of course, Langley had not seen many long-lived species, and this was just her judgment; she was not sure if her guess was correct.

But without a doubt, if Leon can grow up, he will definitely be one of the top spellcasters among humans.

It's even highly possible that they could reach that terrifying legendary rank.

Faced with such a top-notch spellcasting genius, Langley's only thought was to clear up the previous misunderstanding as soon as possible.

However, considering the large number of people around, she dared not say more.

At this moment, several fifth-tier squad leaders beside Langley also came over and greeted her with the same courtesy as Langley.

All three were at the initial stage of the fifth rank, and their auras were clearly inferior to those of the core cadres that Lyon had met at Ophimaso.

"The magic of the two of you has truly broadened my horizons. It has shown me the demeanor of a top-notch spellcaster and greatly reversed my bad impression of some weak spellcasters."

Tu Kun, the bald man, was the first to speak.

Chapter 188 Apprehending the Suspect

As soon as Tu Kun opened his mouth, the people next to him frowned.

"Tu Kun, what rude things are you saying in front of these two people?"

The gray-haired lancer, Tennessee, silently criticized Tukun before apologizing to Leon:

"I apologize, Your Excellency. Tu Kun is of Western origin and does not understand our etiquette. Please do not take offense."

Xibang is not another country, but a newly established territory in the western border of the kingdom, conquered by Prince Sambor (Timia's legitimate husband).

As is widely known, the Kingdom of Horsha is located in the northeastern coastal area of ​​the continent. To the north lies the vast Monster Forest, to the south is the Great Rift Valley that stretches across the continent, and to the west is a large wasteland with a long desert line.

Because the unique surrounding environment prevented large-scale invasions by other races, humans were able to develop peacefully on this relatively spacious land.

Even though its top combat strength is far inferior to that of other races, it has been able to survive well to this day thanks to the protection of the gods. It is a country with a considerable reputation on the continent. Of course, it cannot be compared with those super countries that have long-lived species.

This Kingdom of Horsha is also the only human kingdom on the continent.

However, being the only country does not mean it is the only place inhabited by humans.

In small communities of other races on the mainland, there are also many wandering humans, or those captured and sold into slavery to other countries.

In addition, there are small human settlements and tribes that have lived in seclusion in various special terrains since ancient times, using their unique environment to defend against external enemies.

The capital city of Xibang is one of the human settlements that, though small in size, is famous for its barbarian warriors.

Twenty years ago, it was officially conquered by Prince Sambor and became the territory ruled by the Kingdom of Horxia.

In fact, this human settlement was a dragon tribe more than four thousand years ago. It was only because of the long history that the dragon bloodline gradually became diluted and slowly degenerated into human form.

Even so, these people's physical strength is beyond that of ordinary humans.

It seems that the Tukun in front of us is a Barbarian Warrior.

No wonder his fighting style is so rough and wild, so different from the orderly and disciplined style of the other knights.

Speaking of this, Leon also remembered that Camille, the second female lead in the second movie, was born a barbarian warrior from the West Bank and possessed ancestral dragon blood. She was the wildest female lead in the series.

Of course, "wild" refers to personality, nothing else.

In some ways, she was quite innocent.

Camille joined the Borderlands Legion at a young age and fought against various invading races year after year. Not long after the start of the second part, he was granted the title of Duke as the strongest war king on the borderlands.

Then, she and Iris will take over the role of the sacrificed Britta in the second part, participating in the struggle between the Papacy and the royal family, and continuing to deal with Ophimasso.

"Although Captain Tu Kun's style is vulgar, he is very straightforward, and I don't dislike him."

Lyon smiled to indicate that he didn't mind.

Then, seemingly unintentionally, he glanced towards the rear of the battle group:

"However, after observing your battle just now, I think the actions of one of my friends are quite concerning and suspicious."

His gaze fell upon the positions of several fourth-tier vice-captains.

Langley's original position was also there, but because she invited Leon and his companion to take over from Leon, her current position is similar to that of the other squad leaders.

"Oh? What problem are you referring to?"

The gray-haired lancer Tennessee raised an eyebrow, noticing the subtlety in Leon's tone.

"May I ask what the name of that vice-captain is?"

Leon moved his finger, first pointing at Reynolds, which made Reynolds' expression change drastically. When Leon moved his finger away, Reynolds' expression relaxed.

After observing Reyn's dramatic change of expression several times, Leon stopped teasing him and pointed his finger at a middle-aged knight with brown hair, rough skin, and a red neck.
