You are all my wings!

"We'll pull one more person if we can. Our goal is to minimize damage and avoid any mishaps. I don't want my fiancée to bear the pressure of the legend alone and suffer any accidents."

Although Lyon was surprised that Britta's magical skills had become so focused on controlling sound, he knew that now was not the time to ask that question, and responded with his own focused magical voice.

Magic is difficult to control outside the body, which is why it evolved into two major class systems: spellcasters and warriors.

The spellcaster uses magic to respond to the laws of physics, first condensing the magic into a form, and then releasing it outward.

Warriors use magic to enhance their physical bodies and transform them into combat skills.

Therefore, concentrating sound with magic is a highly difficult skill, and Leon can only do it easily in Miracle Mode.

When he responded in that way, Britta immediately looked at him with surprise, clearly not expecting Lyon to do that either.

Adding to that Leon's words, "I don't want you to bear the burden of the legend alone," she felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She only managed to roll her eyes at Leon, who dared to stir up her newly recovered mood in a place like the Holy See, without even fearing that Tumoria next to her would seize on her weakness.

After all, whether Lyon succeeded or not in his attempt to seduce the saintess at the Vatican, his situation would be quite precarious if he were discovered.

For some reason, this forbidden feeling did not touch any sacred constraints, but instead brought her a strange sweetness and joy.

As a result, Britta forgot to continue trying to persuade Lyon.

Meanwhile, Leon had already spoken to Tumoria:

"Lady Tumoria, your wish is nothing more than to advance to Legendary, then Epic, isn't it?"

These words were so blunt that Tumoria immediately frowned:

"This should be the goal of all superhumans, there's nothing to ask."

"Yes, but it's different if it's you."

Lyon smiled slightly and said:

"The title of Saintess is very important. She is not only a pure and supreme being like the bright moon in the sky in the hearts of countless people in the Holy See, but also embodies the beautiful hopes of countless believers. You are the manifestation of the will of God in the world, representing the truth, purity, beauty and goodness of mankind, the collection of all that is beautiful and pure, but there is one thing that you cannot choose for yourself."

Tumoria continued to frown. Why was this guy spouting such a cryptic nonsense?

He understood what she meant, but did she have a choice?

In her view, truth, purity, beauty, and goodness were nothing more than ways to better align with the divine energy bestowed upon them by the gods.

Despite her seemingly unrestrained and talkative nature, Tumoria is actually a utilitarian at heart.

She doesn't think being pragmatic is bad; she just wants to achieve her ideals through the most effective means.

"It seems that Lady Tumoria does not understand that if you go to the headquarters of the Holy Blood School, you will have a real chance to choose."

Lyon's voice began to fill with a seductive quality:

"Why would the Blood Society, once a prestigious branch within the Vatican, insist on conducting such bloody research? What did they discover during their long research that necessitated using such forbidden methods to attempt to transcend the boundaries of life and immortality?"

Tumoria was not easily swayed by Leon, and chuckled:

"That's all? A bunch of lunatics. I've seen people like that before. Besides, what difference does it make if a bunch of lunatics produce research? What, are you trying to corrupt me?"

Britta also gave Lyon a strange look. Why did he suddenly bring up this topic with Tumoria?

It also seems to subtly suggest that the Bloodline School hides a true way to break through to a higher level outside the Papacy's path?

It must be said that this is indeed very persuasive.

Leon stared at Tumoria, a sneer playing on his lips:

“Studying knowledge is not depravity; conducting bloody experiments for the sake of knowledge is depravity. Moreover, in the end, you have no chance of inheriting the position of acting pope. If you want to continue to advance, you'd better make plans as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Lady Britta advances to legendary status in a few years and her position becomes stable, you won't even have the title of saintess, and all the paladins who followed your name will leave you.”

In fact, in the original storyline, after Britta's sacrifice and the disappearance of the First Saintess, it was Tumoria who was confirmed to succeed as Pope, which took place at the end of the third part.

However, by then the Papacy's influence had greatly diminished. Even though she inherited the throne, she only managed to advance by utilizing the Papacy's existing resources, repairing the dilapidated ship as it gradually headed towards destruction.

At this moment, Lyon's overly direct and sharp words were no longer just enough to make Tumoria frown.

Her eyes turned cold.

I just thought that although this person was a bit naive and immature, he still had a lot of charm.

But now it seems I misjudged him.

He's just a young man who accidentally gained Britta's favor and became incredibly arrogant, possessing only a handsome appearance.

"How dare you! Do you think that just because Britta is here, I wouldn't dare punish you for your disrespect?"

Tumoria's voice deepened.

The four were currently in the long corridor leading from the Vatican to the living quarters. The corridor was constructed of large, neatly cut stones, and the sound echoed outwards.

There was a figure peering in this direction from in front of the residential area.

Britta also found it strange; Lyon rarely mocked someone so directly.

The one being mocked now is Tumoria, a powerful sixth-tier, second saintess.

What were his thoughts on how he did it?

She also remembered that the last time Lyon mocked Mark, it was when Mark was arguing with her about command issues.

However, in retrospect, although the argument caused Mark to lose focus for a few days, it also proved in countless subsequent instances how unreasonable Mark was in that argument, and he gradually came to respect Leon.

So Lyon did deliberately provoke Tumoria just now?

Of course, it cannot be denied that Britta also felt a bit resentful.

Because Tumoria was so annoying, her seemingly unrestrained demeanor actually kept her constantly probing the secrets of each saintess, making Tumoria wary.

Limited by her status, she naturally couldn't rebuke Tumoria, and could only respond coldly.

Could it be that Lyon, after only overhearing a few words, realized that Tumoria had designs on him, and that's why he spoke up for her like that?

Wasn't he afraid of offending the powerful Second Holy Maiden for his own sake?

How come this guy is always so considerate?

Sigh, I wish I hadn't chosen to change jobs back then.

While Britta was momentarily filled with sweetness, a host of sorrows also lingered in her heart.

[Character Britta's affection level increased by 2%, current affection level 89%]

At this moment, Leon continued to sneer:

"Your Excellency Tumoria, do you think I'm disrespectful just because I spoke a few truths? Your magnanimity doesn't seem as grand and generous as you pretend to be, nor does it reflect the tranquility and kindness you project to the outside world. I ask you, do you really think that by simply going through the motions of performing miracles in the Holy See, you can bypass Her Excellency Britta and inherit the throne, thus fulfilling your long-cherished wish?"

Tumoria's face was icy cold, as if covered in frost.

Chapter 341 A Mysterious Interference Fraud

Tumoria was furious and was already thinking of punishing Leon. Her magic power seemed to be gathering uncontrollably in her palm.

"Your Excellency Tumoria, don't be in such a hurry to punish me. Think about it carefully. Don't all the people around you tell you that it will definitely work and that it's definitely possible?"

Leon stood beside Tumoria, making no attempt to hide, and instead continued to speak.

"Am I the first person to tell you the truth? Don't you yourself think what I said makes a lot of sense, so even though you're angry, you don't fly into a rage, right?"

Britta was also prepared to intercept.

Tumoria's profession is the only warrior-type profession among the nine saintesses, the Holy Swordsman. With enough time to accumulate experience, coupled with the protection of the third-tier gods (slightly inferior to Britta), her agility and strength have reached more than twice the level, and her stamina is close to three times.

Although Britta possessed divine authority, she had no need to use it against Tumoria, who was also a saint, and therefore dared not be careless.

She felt that since Leon was going to be her mouth double, she should also prevent Leon from being injured by Tumoria in her rage.

Tumoria saw Britta subtly blocking her way and wanted to make a move, but she was also a little hesitant. If things got out of hand and reached the Great Saintess, it wouldn't look good either way.

Meanwhile, Lyon was still calmly saying:

"A person who has been in a high position for a long time will inevitably be deceived by those below him. You clearly have such a strong desire for promotion, yet you only preach trivial miracles among the common people. Do you really think your reputation among the common people is greater than that of Lady Britta who cleaned up the northern monster forest? What truly makes people remember you is not your performance, but the real things you do, your true achievements, isn't that right?"

What puzzled Britta was that Tumoria clearly looked like she was about to fly into a rage and attack at any moment.

But he remained there, listening to Leon's words with an icy expression.

why?

Judging from her expression, she really disliked what Leon said.

How could they actually tolerate it?

Or did Leon really speak to her heart?

What Britta didn't know was that Leon's knowledge of her past life and his words certainly played a role.

However, his newly acquired core fraudster skill, interfering with the trust aura, is also quite helpful.

The self-buff and external betting effects of the Interference Trust Aura remain effective after the upgrade. The newly added interference effect mainly allows for the deception of matter.

After Lyon's promotion, he took some time to test it out and had roughly figured out how to use it.

For example, if you deceive a stone by saying it is a feather, it will become very light.

Conversely, if you are a stone and you are a deceitful feather, you will become very heavy.

Intervening in fraud requires only mental energy, not magic.

Currently, the scope and scale of his fraud are limited to substances the size of a small sandbag and weighing within a range of 5 kilograms.

And it can't be a fraud that violates the laws of physics too much. For example, he can't currently defraud a rock into an atomic bomb, that's too outrageous, but defrauding it into firecrackers or fireworks is possible. The more familiar he is with the structure, the easier it is to succeed in the fraud.

At the same time, if a stone containing explosive substances is used to make gunpowder, it will save mental energy compared to other stones, and the explosive effect will also be good.

And don't underestimate 5 kilograms; with a little exploration of how to use it, it can actually have many amazing effects.

Of course, intervention in fraud has a limited time frame and will become ineffective after a certain period of time.

The specific timeframe depends mainly on the aforementioned factors, such as structure, similarity, size of the material, and mental energy consumption.

The substance that can be used for deception must be within five meters of you and not be covered by magic.

Of course, items covered in magic can also be used for deception, but the higher the quality of the materials, the more mental energy is required.

While Leon was speaking, besides maintaining his own aura of trust, he also subtly interfered with and deceived Tumoria's socks, turning them into cool, slippery tentacles, and also deceiving the close-fitting clothes under Tumoria's lining into a burr-like, cool underwear with tentacle plates.

By using interference and deception, he simultaneously teased Tumoria's sensitive areas on the soles of her feet and various parts of her body, causing her to experience strange reactions and thus forcing her to expend more effort to control this physiological instinct.

After all, for a saintess who has to strictly adhere to the rules of gender to maintain purity, the more she suppresses herself, the more intense the reaction will be when those tightly guarded body parts are triggered to sensitive points.

Just like a flood control dam, the higher it is pressed down, the more violent the impact will be when it breaks.

Therefore, in Britta's eyes, although Tumoria's expression was as cold as iron, as if she was holding something back, she never made any further moves.

Because Tumoria no longer had the energy to be angry.

That cold expression was just a facade she was trying hard to maintain, afraid that she would break down.

Of course, Leon knew when to stop; he couldn't go too far, or it would arouse her suspicion.

You need to make her feel that what she just experienced was just an illusion, and that it was because you have a 'm' element in your personality that you felt that pleasure.

So Lyon continued:

"Your Excellency Tumoria, think about it again. Besides feeling that I am bold and disrespectful, did my honest words also give you an instinctive sense of sudden realization? Because I reminded you that the flattery of those around you had indeed made you lose yourself and forget the goals you should have upheld?"

Tumoria slowly frowned.

"Sometimes people deceive themselves, but there are some things that you can't really deceive yourself about."

Leon stared at Tumoria, while simultaneously refining his manipulation of the deception, causing her body to experience even more subtle changes.

For example, temperature changes and the subtle friction caused by body movement enhance the detailed feel of socks and undershirts.

He didn't explicitly say to trust your bodily instincts, because he knew that if he did, Tumoria would suspect that he or Britta were doing something to her.

If he explicitly says, "You have to trust your body's instincts," it will definitely make her more suspicious.

What does it mean that some things you can't fool yourself about?

Tumoria, her face stiff and cold, spoke slowly.

"You have to ask yourself that. When you encounter a problem, the first thing you think about is the thing that you can't fool yourself the most."

Tumoria fell into deep thought.

As Leon spoke, he gradually reduced the interference of the fraudulent items to prevent Tumoria from carefully considering the source of this strange physical sensation while she was deep in thought.
