You are all my wings!

"Yes, Rita, I suddenly remembered something urgent. Could you please help me exchange my remaining dividends for fresh monster meat? I'll go to the Vatican to pick it up later tonight, is that alright?"

Lyon spoke very quickly and changed the subject.

"So urgent?"

"Yes, the great battle is about to begin. I hope to advance to the fourth rank before the battle, so that I will have stronger combat power. In that case, I'll take my leave!"

call out! ! !

Lyon vanished in a blur, leaving Britta stunned.

……

Lyon must leave quickly, as the Divine Shackles will take effect as long as he remains opposite Britta.

Once the person leaves, her thoughts fade, and the sacred constraints will naturally dissipate.

This marriage proposal wasn't without its gains; at least he figured out how long it would take for the Divine Shackles to take effect, and to what extent it would be most effective in directly interfering with Britta's will.

And there's more good news: among the many women who currently have high favorability towards Lyon, Britta seems to be the most tolerant of his philandering.

It is unclear whether this was due to her being born to a noble concubine or simply a manifestation of the oppressive influence of sacred constraints.

"The Sacred Shackles, this thing is really troublesome."

In a corner, Leon checked the panel in the shade and found that he had not made any progress on the "Sacred Shackles" quest. He knew that he had only increased his favorability, and might not be able to break the shackles yet.

Either you need Astalia to intervene, or you need an even higher level of favorability, such as 100%.

"Leon, you just did a good deed by daring to propose to the saintess. I have to admire your flirtatiousness and boldness. No, I admire your boldness. But unfortunately, while I admire your boldness, some people don't."

A familiar, soft, and charming voice drifted over.

Who?

Lyon turned around abruptly and found someone he hadn't seen in a while standing in the corner.

This person was short, plump, and curvaceous. Beneath a dark red magic robe, a pair of long, rounded legs stepped lightly onto the dirty, gray floor tiles as they gracefully walked towards me.

It was Timia.

However, Timia's eyes and expression were subtly different from those she had seen before.

While both are charming and seductive, the previous Timiya had a somewhat deliberate and contrived seductiveness.

But this Timia seems to possess such an overt and alluring charm naturally. Although she doesn't have any exaggerated expressions or movements, every subtle expression or movement seems to be tugging at a man's soul.

This mysterious background character, Leon never knew exactly what her role was in the four films.

But now, he felt he had a vague idea.

"You're not the real Timia?"

"As expected of you, you saw through me at a glance. However, I am also the real Timia. It's just that the Timia you saw at the beginning was just my disguise."

Timia wore a faint smile, her expression a blend of gentle charm and wicked allure.

"So, who exactly are you? Or rather, what is your purpose in hiding for so many years?"

Lyon asked calmly.

"Interesting. How did you know I've been hiding this for so many years?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Timia's eyes.

"That's obvious. I heard before that after marrying you, Prince Sambor (Timia's nominal husband) changed his old habits and repeatedly took the initiative to lead troops to conquer various border regions. He clearly has a beautiful wife like you, who was once known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, but he repeatedly avoids you. Obviously, it's not because he doesn't love women, but because he can't do anything about you and can't tell the truth to others, right?"

"Indeed, it's much more pleasant to talk to someone as intelligent as you."

Timia approached with a smile.

Lyon did not retreat, because the strength of the person in front of him was clearly on a different level from that of Timia before him, making it difficult to judge.

Instead of backing down, let's talk!

"So, who exactly are you? What's your purpose in revealing yourself to me? It can't be because I proposed to Rita, can it?"

"That's right. I did test you because you proposed to the saintess. I didn't expect you to see through me so easily and realize that I'm not the same person as the previous Timia."

As Timia spoke, a hint of approving smile appeared in her eyes, which were as beautiful as peach blossoms.

Lyon pondered what exactly had triggered in Timia when he proposed to the saintess.

"After I figured it out, what do you plan to do next?"

"I must warn you, it's not so easy for you to marry a divine agent."

"What if I can't see the difference between you and before?"

"Then you can have your flirtatious talk with Britta all you want. Anyway, with your level of observation and wisdom, you can't possibly break down her defenses, and I have no need to stay by her side."

"That's all?"

"It seems you haven't realized how serious this is."

Timia's voice softened slightly:

"In this world, she is the only representative of the gods left. If she breaks this identity because of her love affair with you, and can no longer maintain her purity, and thus can no longer connect with the sacred world, then humanity will not be far from destruction. Of course, if you want love, I can give it to you."

As she finished speaking, the coldness on her face vanished, replaced by a seductive smile.

Leon ignored her fawning smile; it's not so easy to resist when a guy who's suddenly become a stranger tries to seduce you.

However, this guy's background seems to be more mysterious than I initially estimated, as he even knows such secrets.

At first, he only knew roughly what the Sacred Shackles were. In his previous life, he had seen players discussing it on player forums, saying that he had coincidentally overheard several saintesses discussing this matter.

The so-called sacred shackles are something that every generation of gods and their people must endure.

The greatest function of this thing is to maintain the purity of the saintess's mind, so that she can invoke divine authority at a lower level and thus possess a portion of divine power.

Now, listening to Timia's words, it seems that this pure intention actually has other uses.

"So, are you a member of the royal family or the Papacy?"

"Leon asked."

"neither."

Timia resumed her indifferent expression, whether it was because Leon didn't respond to her comment, "If you want love, I can give it to you," or because it was simply her nature, with her alluring smile merely a tactic to deceive people.

"Neither? In other words, could they both be?"

Lyon's eyes flickered, and he tentatively asked:

"According to what you just said, it seems you need to stay by Rita's side frequently. That means you weren't using the identity of Timia when you were initially stationed nearby, since Timia and Rita have no relation whatsoever. You changed your identity to Timia, whom I know, to avoid trouble, right? So your other identity is someone from the Church?"

Timiya narrowed her peach blossom eyes and released her aura of pressure.

This oppressive aura was similar to the one Lyon had previously felt from Turlon, but with an added sharpness.

Lyon's skin, and even deeper muscles and bones, seemed to be suppressed by a property that could cut and damage across matter, causing his body to suddenly sink.

Fortunately, he had used the Monster Muscle Resonance Technique today to increase his magic resistance, otherwise this pressure would have been enough to cause his muscles to rupture and leave many scars.

It's worth mentioning that the sharpness in the aura isn't the sharpness developed by warriors or swordsmen, but rather an aura that naturally arises from a very strong inherent characteristic.

This was clearly a characteristic of the Distortion Domain, a feature only found at the Legendary level or higher, and the sense of déjà vu in this feature reminded Leon of this character.

So it was her?

No, not necessarily. I only learned about this distorted domain in my previous life through games, and there are still some differences between that and my personal experience now.

Thinking of this, Leon mustered his mental strength to withstand the pressure, straightened his back, looked at Timia, and said:

"It seems I was right. You are indeed playing the role of Orpheus's aunt and the prince's wife on one hand, and on the other hand, you are also a well-known figure in the Holy See, which makes it convenient to protect Britta, right? After all, after the last monster riot, you were the first person from Orpheus's side to rush over to find Britta."

A hint of surprise flashed in Timia's eyes:

"Not only could you resist my pressure, but you could also deduce so much in that instant? Not bad. It's rare that I thought highly of you before. Someone who can comprehend the mysteries of the sacred murals on their own is indeed worth looking forward to."

Leon understood. Timia had suddenly become unusually nice to him as soon as she arrived at the Sacred Mural, and had tried to seduce him several times. Now it seemed that she had realized long ago that he had gleaned something from the Sacred Mural.

"On the other hand, your sense of mission is so strong, I have my doubts..."

As Lyon was speaking, Timia interrupted him:

"A sense of mission? Where does a sense of mission come from?"

Leon chuckled: "You said that without divine intervention, humanity would surely perish. Don't you realize how noble your sense of mission is?"

Timia was speechless for a moment.

Based on his previous guesses about Lyon's identity, he made a judgment:

"It seems you've always felt like you're being forced to protect Rita, right? Don't you feel very awkward doing this, but have no choice but to do it?"

Timia frowned:

"What do you mean?"

"It means I already know who you are."

Lyon grinned.

At the same time, he initiated the advancement enlightenment of the third level of the Fraudster.

On the one hand, the shared mode was about to end, and on the other hand, since he was still under her oppressive power and couldn't move, he might as well take advantage of the opportunity to advance and break free from this suppression.

boom!!!!

He instantly entered a state of spiritual transcendence.

The soul ascends into the sea of ​​knowledge, and a vast cloud of knowledge rushes in.

Since it is still in sharing mode, his efficiency in receiving this type of information has been significantly improved.

In the blink of an eye, he absorbed a large amount of knowledge, and even his mental strength increased.

This knowledge consisted of various fraud techniques and skills. In fact, due to the sharing model, he absorbed far more extraordinary fraud knowledge than during his last advancement, and for a time he was completely absorbed in it.

Timia, standing nearby, noticed that after Leon said he had guessed her identity, he suddenly went into a daze and felt puzzled.

Upon closer inspection, a hint of shock flashed across her eyes:

"This is an inspiration for starting a job... no, an inspiration for advancement? But how is this possible?"

Chapter 331 Don't ask, it's all about divination!

"Only the founders of a profession can gain enlightenment to advance. Could it be that he created a rare profession of divination?"

Timia became more and more surprised as she looked at Leon.

Two of the three professions are extremely rare; this talent is truly outrageous.

There's definitely a reason why they can understand the sacred murals.

Unfortunately, this person didn't fall for my trap and stubbornly refused to get into my bed.

"The key question is, is it true that he guessed my identity, or is he bluffing me?"

Timia had no choice but to patiently wait for Leon to complete his advancement.

After a while.

Lyon has completed his upgrade to Conman.

【主要属性：精神力24/生命力88/魔力量169/体力85/力量78/敏捷97】

[Mental Strength +2, Vitality +5, Magic Power +9, Stamina +6, Strength +3, Agility +6]

Numerically speaking, the increase in this profession is not as significant as that of the Elemental Mage and the Shadow Walker.

But considering that he has already advanced to the third tier three times, and each time he has been declining, it seems reasonable.

After all, we're only advancing three levels now. The increase would be much greater if we jumped to the next level.

If the con artist can advance to the next level ahead of time, then we might be able to see the true potential for growth in this profession.
