You are all my wings!

And, a complex look in his eyes that seemed to want to say something but couldn't.

The moment she met Leon's gaze, she fell silent.

It's as if the previous talk of arrogance in the professional field was just an illusion.

Lyon keenly sensed a slight change in her emotions.

She seemed to have been extremely excited, but then suddenly calmed down and started to worry about this and that.

At this moment, there is only a six-centimeter distance between their lips.

The warm breath they exhaled mingled with each other's, filling their cheeks, moistening their ears, and stirring their heartstrings.

But strangely, Leon noticed a fleeting, almost imperceptible sadness in Maggie's eyes.

What is she grieving over?

“There is something wrong with my bloodline. Even if I can give birth, I cannot let him suffer. I can bear this pain myself.”

Machiru continued to focus on the topic of childbirth, her voice low.

This made Leon realize that the proud and arrogant Maggie actually harbored an inferiority complex deep down.

Because she endures the pain of demon bloodline every day, she is both numb and sensitive.

Coupled with her experience with the Bloodline School, she felt even more insecure.

Maggie continued to whisper:

"So, my dear and respectable master, I'm sorry I can't bear you children."

This guy thinks too much.

I haven't even mentioned anything yet, and you're already thinking so far ahead.

Could it be that Maggie's high favorability rating is largely due to her ability to overthink and manipulate others?

Or is it that Machiru's current status as a slave makes her more likely to think that way?

That's true. Slaves in this world are implicitly expected to bear more offspring for their masters.

Even if Machiru were a fourth-tier player, she probably wouldn't be able to resist thinking that way.

Like Iris, she never brought up this kind of topic, which shows that in her mind, such things need to be done step by step, rather than the idea of ​​taking it all at once like Maggie.

Leon understood this, and with a slight exertion, he tapped Machiru's forehead with his own.

puff!

A soft sound.

Maggie Lu bumped her head and glared at Leon. "We're talking about serious business, why did you hit me? I'll hit you!"

“Maquilu, I’m only 17 years old. In my hometown, I’m not old enough to be a father yet.”

Lyon smiled:

"Furthermore, I'm also planning to research how to help you resolve the negative issues of your demon bloodline. Wouldn't it be better to consider these issues after that?"

"Impossible. I've studied this for so many years, and even divine energy can only be suppressed to a certain extent."

Maggie shook her head.

“Maquilu, how old are you to say it’s impossible? Research is a lifelong endeavor. Besides, in my opinion, you just have a conflict between your physique and divine energy, which doesn’t mean this thing is useless.”

"That's true, but apart from the ruins of the gods, I really have no other clues right now, so please forgive me for not being able to have your child."

She seemed to have resigned herself to the situation.

Why does she keep bringing up having children?

Is that really all she feels?

Lyon's eyes flickered as he stared at Maggie:

“Magical, I understand.”

"What do you understand?"

Maggie was taken aback. She noticed that Leon's eyes suddenly became serious, as if he had made up his mind.

That was a look she rarely saw on Lyon's face.

Previously, Leon's eyes held a faint sense of detachment from the world, which Maggie clearly sensed despite how well he concealed it.

"Actually, you're still afraid. You're afraid you'll destroy something, afraid you'll shatter your current life, afraid your demon bloodline will cause trouble, and afraid that the tragic end of demons in mythology will also come. So you don't want to and dare not leave more traces of yourself in this world, right?"

Lyon said slowly.

Maggie's pupils contracted.

"Do not……"

"Since you're so afraid, let me give you courage."

He gently stroked Maggie's cheeks with both hands.

Their lips slowly approached.

Maggie's eyes widened. Even though she had grabbed Leon first, she was frozen in place, watching Leon's face get closer and closer, his earnest and clear eyes fixed on her, his eyelashes clearly visible.

Her heart felt like it was going to jump out of her chest.

In an instant, many images and scenes flashed through my mind.

There was the bitter cold and hunger he endured in his small home on the border when he was young, the bloodline that was modified while he remained conscious, the mental pollution he suffered from the demon bloodline day after day, the horrific scenes of many people who underwent the modification at the same time as him dying from physical collapse, and the disgusting monster flesh that was not recognized by ordinary people, all in order to become stronger...

All sorts of suffering, it seems that nothing good has ever happened since I was born.

Finally, the scene froze, and the face that appeared in my mind overlapped with the person in front of me.

Everything seemed to change after I met him.

She seemed to have truly gained boundless courage.

In that instant, Machiru realized that she had entered a very strange state, in which she even felt that the constant mental pollution was nothing.

boom!!!!!!

Not only Maggie, but Leon also found himself entering a wonderful state of mind.

[Villain Machiru's favorability +3%, current favorability 94%]

[Initial TY exchange completed, entering mind-sharing mode]

[Unlock hidden attribute: Mental Strength]

Chapter 209 The Wonderful Sharing of Spirits

After activating the mind-sharing state, a night passed in the blink of an eye.

This is similar to, yet different from, Iris's state of soul purification.

Soul purification grants him a higher level of soul purity in a short period of time, resulting in extremely high concentration, which allows him to rapidly improve the efficiency of training magical imagery.

The state that Maqilu achieved allowed him to see many things hidden deep within his own heart.

That is an ancient memory that exists deep in the blood of countless people.

They hunt beasts and fish, gather in tribes, fight against natural disasters, and dance with demons.

Even more distant and unreachable, all the vague images.

Just witnessing a few things was enough to shake Lyon to his core.

Then, a strange power emerged from the depths of the soul, like a lotus in water, slowly growing, eventually sprouting a flower pod and releasing lotus seeds.

The lotus seed slipped and fell upon the heart, continuing to transform into a new blue lotus.

After repeating this several times, a pure and beautiful place formed in the center of one's mind, connected by ten blue lotuses.

The magical images he possessed drifted and seeped into the clusters of green lotuses.

A sudden realization dawned on him: "Is this my spiritual power? The spiritual power that was suppressed deep within my heart by the authority of the ancient gods and could not manifest?"

The mind is an abstract concept.

When one masters magical imagery, the mind becomes something that is both real and illusory.

When his mind manifests these spiritual entities in the form of blue lotuses, the magical imagery seems to have more precise guidance and can be more easily commanded and mobilized by his spiritual power.

After a moment of contemplation, Leon realized that merging these magical images with his spiritual power would not make the magical images stronger or more perfect.

But it has one great advantage: it allows one's mental energy to better align with the magic one has mastered.

In addition, the enhanced state that comes with manifesting spiritual power will greatly increase his efficiency in learning the four magic systems he has already mastered.

The upper limit of mental burden from repeated spellcasting will also increase, and recovery will be faster.

"Unexpectedly, it has manifested attributes that are usually only possible to activate at the legendary rank."

Not all legendary-tier individuals can activate their mental power attribute; they are quite rare.

This knowledge was mentioned in the background information of his previous life. In his previous life, Leon had completed all four parts but had never unlocked this attribute, and as far as he knew, no player had ever succeeded in doing so.

In addition, there are those mysterious images we just saw.

"If what I saw in that shared mental state is indeed an ancient vision, then it means that the so-called shared mental state is not sharing the mental state of a specific living person or Machiru."

Lyon made his judgment.

The so-called spiritual sharing model is about sharing the collective spiritual resources that the world has accumulated over the years.

If we use the psychological theories he knew from his past life, these are equivalent to the collective unconscious.

Each person's mind is continuously connected to the collective spirit of the world. However, because the collective spirit of the world is so vast, the connection between ordinary people is very small, like capillaries with only very subtle interactions.

Entering the shared mode allows access to more refined ancient spiritual information.

When mental energy receives enough essential information, it will grow.

Yes, the nourishment of spiritual power is not energy, but spiritual information.

This is not ordinary information, but spiritual information!

The higher the quality, the greater the benefits.

Most of the information is rather disorganized, requiring the recipient to perform appropriate filtering, which is quite a burden.

So, after 30 minutes in this mode, he felt mentally exhausted and was forced to exit the state.

However, despite the smaller workload, it is a fact that this mental energy was activated and grew under this mode.

【Mental Power: 11】

This is his current mental strength.

It started at 10 points when it was first activated, and after half an hour of sharing mode, it increased by 1 point.

Although it was only a 1-point increase, Lyon clearly felt a slight improvement in his reaction speed.

He was able to meditate on those unfamiliar magical images a little faster than before.

In comparison, the sharing mode is more tiring than the purification mode, and you can only enter once a day at most.

"However, you can't enter the shared mode too often. Like leveling up, this thing will instantly put a huge strain on your mind, and in severe cases, you'll get lost."

Lyon thought to himself.

The purification mode is generally not tiring, but it does not increase mental strength.

"In other words, the purification mode can temporarily enhance focus and comprehension, while the sharing mode can increase mental strength in the long run."

In summary, he found that the purification and sharing patterns were also related to the characteristics of Iris and Maquill.

Iris is purer in nature and has fewer distracting thoughts, and her first exchange with Deepty also enhances her magic.

The purification mode perfectly matches her personality and her unlimited magical power.

Machiru is often exposed to all sorts of mental pollution, and the demon bloodline is indeed more likely to connect with ancient landscapes and obtain richer ancient spiritual information.

The sharing model is a perfect match for her physical condition.

So, what other changes will occur if I reach a 90% affinity with Britta in the future?
