You are all my wings!

short?

'Cecidi' felt the critical hit.

"Of course, Orpheus, thank you. I feel like I can kill a Minotaur with one punch now."

"Hehe, then why don't you use that energy on me?"

"Ophie, aren't you still resisting this state?"

"Yes, but as long as I get into that relaxed state with you, I feel much more at ease. So now I think that kissing once a day is not enough. It would be best to do it before and after every meal, and the time should not be shorter than this time."

"Haha, then you might not have time to suppress the demons."

"Right now, all I want is to suppress you and make you live a good life with me."

As she said this, Ophie Marceau's eyes were glazed over, and she drew circles on Lyon's chest.

Although she couldn't hear the voice, 'Kekti' could clearly picture that charming voice just by looking at Ophimaso's face.

She got goosebumps.

Is this really the legendary figure she knew?

"Could it be that I mistook someone for someone else? That makes sense, it's impossible for a person to be so different before and after!"

Chapter 267 Horsha IX

"That woman is actually Ophimaso's sister? After all, she is the third to last daughter of Horshah IX, so it's not impossible."

Because Orpheus's words and actions were so different from the Orpheus that 'Kekti' knew.

'Kekti' was convinced that she had mistaken someone for someone else!

It was at this moment that the two began to change positions, and 'Kekti' teleported to follow.

"Hey, that old man, why does he look so familiar?"

In a more secluded corner, 'Kekti' discovered an old man standing quietly there, with a low-key and simple demeanor.

The old man was wearing a dark blue trench coat, underneath which was a slightly loose set of casual home clothes.

As you can see, his arms are unusually thick, his thighs are twice as thick as the bloated waist of 'Kekti' in disguise, and his face is full of bulging muscles, making him look extremely ferocious, like a humanoid monster.

The reason he appears so unassuming is because when he stands in the corner, he exudes a unique charm that blends into the world, making people easily overlook his appearance and mistake him for a kind and friendly old neighbor. Even the grotesque muscles on his face seem like ordinary wrinkles.

Upon seeing this person, 'Kekti' was startled and suddenly flashed away into the distance.

"It's actually an epic-level powerhouse. Judging from his appearance and aura, could it be Horsha IX, Tuerlongye Horsha? The only epic-level magic swordsman in the human world today?"

'Kekti's' heart was pounding, and she dared not get too close to listen.

Even with the aid of various wondrous new magics brought from later generations, which provided excellent concealment, she still couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't be detected by an epic-level powerhouse.

This is living history, a super master forged through various legendary events.

In future generations, due to drastic changes in the world situation and the emergence of new types of magic, there will be significantly more legendary and above experts than in the present day.

However, in modern times, epic-level warriors are still terrifying figures who can make an entire country tremble with a single stomp.

Perhaps in terms of pure strength, human epic masters are far inferior to long-lived species of the same level, but because human kingdoms have more combat experience and more events of suppressing monsters, their epic poems will bring more great power.

Therefore, while the human epic may have weak endurance, its peak destructive power is definitely no less than that of long-lived epics.

It is this unbroken, epic deterrent that has enabled human nations to stand firm for thousands of years.

"But what are these three doing at this meeting?"

This time, 'Kekti' dared not spy, for fear that her gaze would be noticed by Turlongye.

She could only hide in a far corner, occasionally glancing at it unintentionally.

"Let's change positions, let's find a position where we won't make eye contact with Turlongye."

……

Let's rewind to a few minutes earlier.

As Leon and Orpheus completed their deep, long, long lovemaking session and entered Deep Wonder Mode, Leon also received an update message from the panel.

[Ophimosa Hidden Quest "The Two-Faced Princess" Completion +2%, Current Completion 4%]

[Ophimaso Hidden Quest "Heroic Bloodline" Completion +10%, Current Completion 30%]

It seems that the effect of the kiss was much weaker than last time, but it was still effective. Relatively speaking, it seems to be easier than the tasks of others?

After all, whether it's Machiru's "Endless Blood of Demons" and "The Alchemy of Life", Iris's "Dark Fel Energy" and "Radiant Light Elf", or Britta's "The Chosen One" and "Astalia's Redemption", these tasks are not easy.

Currently, however, the series of tasks related to Orpheus, except for "The Crown" which has not yet made any progress, have all made considerable progress, including "The Holy Cause of the Throne".

Oh right, there's also Therena's "The Brilliant Life" and "Unexpected Fate." The former is more than halfway done, but the latter is still nowhere in sight.

Of course, as of now, Leon has completed one of Iris-related tasks.

It's fortunate that, besides missions, he can also greatly improve his skills by interacting with the female leads; otherwise, it would be really not worth it to repeatedly find himself in a love triangle while trying to win over the female leads.

Not to mention that he would have to meet with King Horcia IX next.

Of course, dating these unique girls is indeed something he can't resist.

All I can say is that he's really suited for this job; he hasn't caused any scandals yet.

Next, he will face the biggest challenge that Ophim Marceau has given him.

After several flashes, he followed Ophimasso and saw a tall, burly figure quietly waiting in a corner.

"Remember, although Father's temper has improved a lot over the years, he can still get angry if he encounters something he doesn't like. However, he is more tolerant of capable people, so just perform normally and be yourself as always. Don't be nervous."

Lyon shook his head inwardly at Ophim Marceau's words.

Horsya IX Turlongye was not defined by his good or bad temper; his temper was merely a means he used to manage his subordinates.

A mild-mannered king can foster a complacent court bureaucracy, while a king who can 'abuse' his power can more easily maintain firm control over the entire country.

The subjects could tolerate the king's 'violence' because the king's authority was high enough.

If the king had little authority, he might be angered on one day and then be retaliated against a dozen times the next.

This King Horcia IX, while possessing top-tier strength, has long since mastered the art of concealing his emotions. It is estimated that he would not reveal easily discernible feelings except in front of a few of his beloved children.

It is also the most difficult to deceive such a worldly-wise person.

In Ophimasso's eyes, he was probably just a powerful and influential father, so she likely seriously underestimated Horcia IX's tolerance for Lyon.

After all, according to the rumors, the reason Lyon and Ophie Marceau fell in love was through voyeurism.

Of course, because there are many rumors, King Horshah IX may not ask about this matter.

Now, the real trouble is that Lyon has to 'diagnose' this so-called magic surge syndrome for him.

Soon, Lyon, led by Ophim Marceau, met Horthy IX, a two-meter-tall, frighteningly muscular man.

As was customary, Lyon gave a half bow.

“Lyon Belon, I’ve heard about your rumors for a while now. This isn’t a palace, so the etiquette doesn’t need to be so complicated. Raise your head.”

The voice seems normal so far, without any complex emotional fluctuations, like a father who is normally meeting his daughter's boyfriend, with a scrutinizing gaze and slightly restrained expression.

Lyon looked up and met Toulon's gaze.

"Yes, she is indeed good-looking and has a good temperament! No wonder Orpheus was able to break through some of the mental constraints he had built up over the years."

Tuerlongye nodded slightly:

"However, I do have some questions about the magic surge syndrome that you and Orpheus mentioned."

They arrived, but I didn't expect them to get straight to the point after just a couple of greetings.

Chapter 268 'Kekti': This woman's love-struck mind is too severe, she's beyond saving.

"Regarding the illness of sudden increase in magic power, I have seen a case with symptoms similar to yours."

Tuerlongye said calmly:

"However, that person is not in danger of exploding and dying; he is still alive."

Alive?

Lyon's heart skipped a beat. Was this something that Turlonger made up, or was it actually true?

This guy is really something, posing such a difficult problem right off the bat.

"Oh, well, I'd really like to meet him."

"I'll let you see me, since you stole Orpheus's heart."

A faint, enigmatic smile appeared in Turlongye's eyes.

"I wouldn't dare. I had no intention of stealing Your Highness's heart."

Before their relationship was further solidified, Lyon naturally wouldn't call Orpheus by that nickname in front of outsiders.

"It wasn't stolen?"

"Yes, we only discovered the nobility of each other's souls through a series of unexpected events, and thus became attracted to each other."

Lyon was merely playing with words, but because of his deep tone and deep immersion in the role, the sentence felt very real.

Ophimosa, who was standing to the side, nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Yes, Lyon suffered unbearable pain at a young age, yet he remained righteous, heroic, intelligent, and decisive! He saved me from life and death many times and performed feats that I could not match. The nobility of his soul probably transcends the ordinary world."

This spirited young woman was unusually charming and adorable at this moment, showering him with compliments.

Lyon felt a chill run down his spine; he realized that Ophie Marceau seemed to have a super-enhanced beauty filter on him.

At that moment, whether it was his imagination or not, he noticed that the corner of Turlongye's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

At the same moment, 'Cecidi' moved behind Turlonie, and could see the positions of Leon and Ophimasso facing each other.

Of course, she didn't dare to observe too often, since experts can sense the gaze behind them. She was only relying on the special items from the future; otherwise, she would never have dared to steal glances at an epic-level expert.

Of course, regardless of the circumstances, she still deciphered Ophie Marceau's exaggerated words about Lyon, and her pupils contracted.

"Noble soul? Really? This woman is way too love-struck, beyond saving. She's clearly just a womanizer."

'Kekti' remained silent.

After judging that the woman might not be Orpheus, 'Kekti' became quite critical of her.

After all, one is a respected senior colleague, and the other is just a love-struck nobody with no fame. How can they be compared?

However, although it wasn't Ophimasso herself, since she was able to appear before King Horsha IX, she was most likely Ophimasso's sister.

Of course, considering that Ophimosa was very young at this time, it is also possible that she was her older sister who was about the same age.

"It's a pity that the purpose of their gathering is still unclear."

……

"Alright, Orpheus, you've said these things many times already, there's no need to repeat them."

Turlongye coughed lightly, his gaze towards Lyon suddenly sharpening:

"Let's get back to your illness. Orpheus said that your magic power surges every now and then, and you need Orpheus to channel it to resolve it. So, how much magic power do you have right now? Show me, let me see if there's anything special about your magic aura."

"Your Majesty, shall we demonstrate here?"

"Don't worry, no matter how much noise you make, I will take action to eliminate it. You don't need to cast any spells; you just need to release the maximum amount of your magic power."

"Tuerlongye said slowly."

This relieved Lyon; it seemed that Toulon didn't intend to pursue the details of how he and Ophimasso met.

It is estimated that Ophimosa has done a lot of work in this regard.

The close relationship between her and Turlonger was indeed beyond Lyon's expectations.

On the one hand, although Turlonye did not explicitly express it, it seemed that he was indeed very accommodating to Ophimaso's requests.

Secondly, Lyon could also see his fondness for Ophimasso, which was probably much stronger than that of other well-known princes and princesses.
