You are all my wings!

The Light Healing spell, however, can also be effective for people whose lives are in danger.

Although it doesn't quite reach the terrifying effect of bringing someone back to life or healing flesh and bones, as long as the target's life force hasn't been completely exhausted, there is a possibility of saving them.

Of course, for injuries like severed limbs or broken backs, the Light Healing spell needs to be combined with the Water Healing spell.

Also because its effects are too strong.

Light Healing is the most difficult spell to learn among basic elemental magic. Once you've mastered this, you'll have a good grasp of the other types.

It requires mastering rather complex magical imagery and having a certain understanding of knowledge such as life science and anatomy.

This magic is one of the rewards from Leon's quests, and there's also a chance to learn it directly after completing the Fallen Dark Elf quest.

About 30 seconds later, the blond knight's complexion improved.

It seems that the necessary repairs have been completed; now it's up to him to recover on his own.

"Leon, what exactly are you going to do with the Enchanting Fairy?"

At this point, Iris stopped her healing spell and began eating Minotaur jerky to replenish her energy.

She had originally wanted to eat the red-skinned spider eggs, but she had already finished her share because she was craving them.

So all she could do was look at Leon with resentment while chewing on the jerky with her mouth agape.

After thinking for a moment, she stretched out her slender fingers and gently poked Leon's waist, bringing up the issue of what to do with the Enchanting Fairy again.

Seeing how Leon had handled this thing before, she had a strange feeling about it.

"This rare monster has considerable potential value. I plan to study her charm skill. At the very least, I need to find other ways to counter this skill, right?"

"I see. The Enchanting Fairy's abilities are indeed too unsolvable. It is said that if it were an ancient time when soul magic was more prevalent, there might have been a way to solve it."

When Iris heard Leon say that, she felt a sense of relief for some reason.

The two were chatting and discussing while waiting to eat and for their magic and stamina to be fully restored.

suddenly--

The dull thud of metal boots hitting the ground could be heard from the entrance to the 17th floor passage.

Lyon turned his head and saw four people slowly walking out of the passage.

A court magician dressed in a jet-black magic robe and holding a long staff, and three knights from the First Royal Knights Order dressed in full silver plate armor.

The three court knights, each wounded, removed their helmets and placed them behind them, then helped each other out.

The magician covered his face with a hood, making it impossible to see his features, but a white beard swayed beneath the hood, and his overall posture was slightly hunched, suggesting he was not young.

Leon soon discovered that he knew the magician.

This was actually his superior, a fifth-tier mage named Kellon von Hoynpis.

This is also a very famous character in "Sword, Magic and Holy Land".

He was a fifth-tier mage from the start. Although he was over a hundred years old and his physical strength had declined significantly, he was experienced in combat and as cunning as an old fox. He had mastered a large number of rare and ancient magics that were unknown to others and was known as the most learned mage in the kingdom.

Because of insufficient achievements and the lack of personal poems, he never advanced to the sixth rank.

However, thanks to the increased magic power he has accumulated over the years, and the various rare spells he has mastered, his combat strength is comparable to that of a sixth-tier quasi-legendary.

However, he is good at hiding his true abilities, so only a few close friends and relatives know about them.

It played a significant role in the early stages of the first part, in several small and medium-sized boss battles.

Furthermore, he is the grandfather of the female protagonist in the third book, and personally trained a pioneer of a new type of magic, a subverter of magical civilization. Although his potential is likely only B+, his role in the plot is definitely A or above.

Such a character should not be underestimated.

Moreover, his current position is not ordinary.

In terms of status alone, he is comparable to a marquis in the Kingdom of Horxia.

The root of this position lies in his role as the vice-captain of the court magicians' corps.

The mage, this extraordinary profession, can be considered the most common among the rare, and the rarest among the common.

Common extraordinary professions are warrior-type professions, such as swordsmen, knights, spear experts, and other ordinary extraordinary professions that revolve around weapons.

With various special buffs, they become rare professions such as the Magic Swordsman, Paladin, Spear Master, and Phantom Walker like Leon.

Mages have a 50% higher job rate than magic swordsmen, but a 50% lower rate than ordinary warriors, placing them in the middle tier.

Therefore, the Kingdom of Horsha has well-organized knight orders and swordsman orders, with thousands of members, all of whom are extraordinary individuals, making it a truly grand entity.

The First Knights Order is a group of elite knights, with a total number of no more than a hundred. Each of them is a master of the third rank or above, and they are the core personnel for maintaining the stability of the capital.

The Grand Master and Vice Grand Master of the Knights held the titles of honorary nobles. Although they were not granted territories, their status was no less prestigious.

Within the kingdom, the same status is held by the court magicians to whom Lyon currently belongs.

Although it's called a group, due to the scarcity of the mage profession and the high entry requirements, the total number of people is actually only about forty.

This is also the only official magician organization in the kingdom.

Unlike the Knights Order, which is divided into four orders within the capital, various noble lords also maintain their own Knights Order and independent mages.

The magician group that Leon belongs to is also quite powerful.

The leader is a seventh-tier legendary figure, followed by five deputy leaders, all of whom are senior experts at the sixth or fifth tier and are also honorary nobles.

There are no positions below the deputy regimental commander; they range from the fourth rank to the first rank.

Because magicians are generally easygoing, management is not strict, and can even be described as very lax.

It's a good place to slack off.

Lyon was a newbie, a nobody, who passed the assessment half a month ago with his amazing skill of not singing and entered the group.

After working for half a month and meeting my boss, Kairon, once, my daily work consisted of simply reporting for duty and waiting for the king to assign me tasks.

In other free time, I can arrange everything myself. Whether I want to train, explore dungeons, or just relax, no one will interfere. It's very easy.

In fact, Leon had initially considered whether to build a relationship with Chiron and learn some rare magic that only Chiron knew how to learn, to use as a trump card for the future.

Unfortunately, after working for half a month, I never saw him again, so I could only focus on Iris's side quests and my own advancement.

I never expected to run into my boss, whom I hadn't seen for many years, at this time.

It seems that the explosion magic just now was also cast by Chiron.

However, what puzzled Leon was why, with a master like Kayron around, the knights beside him were still injured.

This is only the 17th floor!

According to the original storyline, Chiron shouldn't have encountered any special events at this point, right?

Or perhaps they were injured while exploring the forty-plus levels, and the aftermath of the battle was just a minor incident on their return journey?

“I never expected to see a combination like you here, Elf diplomat Iris and my subordinate Lyon.”

Just as Lyon was wondering what was going on, Kaylon, who had walked out of the passageway, pulled down his hood to reveal a handsome old man's face and greeted him in a gentle voice.

"It is my honor to meet the deputy commander here."

Leon replied politely, then pointed to the blond knight and said:

"Excuse me, is this third-tier knight one of your companions? We encountered him being possessed by a bewitching fairy, and luckily we managed to rescue him. If any of you know this knight, could you please take him back to the surface and settle him in?"

"You encountered that bewitching fairy? And you even rescued him? How did you manage that?"

A bright glint suddenly flashed in Kairon's narrowed eyes.

Not only him, but the others also showed obvious surprise.

"real or fake?"

Their surprise was mixed with other subtle emotions: awe at Iris Leon's beauty and demeanor, as well as envy and jealousy from fellow men.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Forgive my frankness

"Judging from your surprised expressions, it seems this golden-haired knight was originally one of your teammates on this expedition? You've also seen the Enchanting Fairy? Then you should know that what I said is not false."

Lyon smiled.

Upon hearing this, Kairon focused his gaze on the blond knight lying on his side.

He clearly knew just how rare it was for someone to be possessed by a bewitching fairy and still escape unscathed.

Ideally, one should be taken away by companions before being possessed, away from the location of the Enchanting Fairy.

Secondly, those who are more than 2 levels above the Enchanting Fairy, or blessed by gods, protected by poems, or have already accomplished great feats, can withstand the first wave and then stay away from the Enchanting Fairy.

The worst outcome is being taken in and killed.

At this moment, a brown-haired knight who was less seriously injured broke free from the other two people supporting him and walked over to the blond knight lying on the ground, looking down to check on his condition.

“Thor is indeed still alive, and there are no signs that his magic and life force have been drained.”

The brown-haired knight spoke in a low voice:

"I am grateful for your rescue. I just heard that you are also a mage from the Mage Order? I am Schwaton Tim Horrus, captain of the third squadron of the First Royal Knights, a fourth-rank knight."

"Lion Belron, a first-tier court mage."

“The Holy Land of the Elves has dispatched a diplomat, Iris C. Forren.”

“Mire Dahl, a third-tier knight under Captain Schwaden of the Third Squad.”

"Tidu Tolly, a third-tier knight under Captain Schwaden of the Third Squad."

“Deputy Commander of the Court Magicians, Magician Kaelon von Hoynpis.”

Both sides quickly completed their introductions.

This is basic etiquette within the kingdom.

When encountering each other in the dungeon, they will introduce themselves to prevent accidents during exploration and to investigate which underground level they perished in.

Leon doesn't know much about the character Schwarton.

All that is known is that the other party was also born a baron, successfully married into an earl's family, and rose to become the captain of the First Knights Order based on his military achievements and fourth-tier combat power.

He participated in many explorations of the Auradu dungeon, was a good person, loved by his subordinates, and had a good family relationship. In the final boss battle of the first part, he sacrificed himself to save the people.

Overall, he is an ordinary yet respectable character.

Although he doesn't have much importance in the plot, his eldest son has a promising future. With the help of Schwarton's legacy, he quickly becomes a famous court strategist, overseeing several post-disaster reconstructions and economic reforms in the capital. He is a talented individual.

As for the other two third-tier units, Leon really had no recollection of them at all.

"Leon, if you don't mind, tell me how you rescued Thor."

Kairon asked the question.

Judging from his expression, he must have been very curious about the answer for a long time, but he still patiently waited until the introductions were over.

Iris stopped Leon and met Kayron's gaze:

"Your Excellency Vice-Commander of the Mage Guild, although Lyon is your subordinate, he has done no small thing. If he were to speak out, can you guarantee that you wouldn't misinterpret his words and accurately publicize his achievements?"

Lyon was somewhat surprised that Iris, who still harbored some doubts about him, was now quite protective of him.

Was it the 66% favorability rating that came into play? Or was it gratitude for his previous act of protecting her from the Enchanting Fairy's attack?

At this point, Schwarton couldn't help but say, "Excuse me for speaking frankly, Miss Iris, Thor is just a nobody, and saving him shouldn't be considered a great achievement."

Iris glanced sideways at Schwarton; she recognized his eyes—the kind that wanted to get her attention. She said calmly:

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, Mr. Schwarton, but your ignorance is regrettable. You are unaware of the true terror of the Enchanting Breath Fairy, and you don't know what it means to rescue someone while they are possessed by an Enchanting Breath Fairy."

"Watch your words, Miss Diplomat!"

Schwarton's subordinate, Milley, revealed an angry expression of defending his superior and drew one end of his sword hilt.

Lyon placed his hand on Iris's shoulder and smiled:

"Don't worry, Iris, I trust the character of the vice-captain and the knights."

Iris was almost startled by Leon's sudden contact, but she found that her body didn't seem to reject it. Plus, it wouldn't be good to shake off his hand in front of others, so she pretended not to care and said to Kayron and the others:

"If your achievements are misinterpreted by others before being publicized, causing the facts to be distorted, even if there is a global response in the future, it will weaken the power of your personal poems later. Therefore, please publicize the deeds you are about to hear correctly after you leave the dungeon."

With such a serious explanation from diplomat Iris, both Kayron and Schwarton understood that she was not joking.
