You are all my wings!

"Divination?"

Bai Shaqilai clearly didn't believe it: "Even if you really are an astrologer, it's impossible for you to be able to divine for a legendary astrologer like me, even if you're above the required level."

A mocking smile played on Lyon's lips as he said calmly:

"You still don't believe I'm a miracle astrologer? A miracle is when you hide your destiny, I can still traverse the endless fog and find the impossible."

In fact, there are no miracle astrologers.

This is a profession he made up entirely.

Considering that he had never actually worked as an astrologer, he felt that perhaps it was because his fabrication was not concrete enough, so he decided to use such a name to refer to his disguised profession.

If I were to actually get the job, I wouldn't be an ordinary astrologer, but one of the rarest of the rare, someone who could truly divine miracles and predict the only possible, perfect ending from the impossible.

Bai Shaqilai was slightly shaken when she saw Leon's calm and composed expression.

Was he really not lying?

As an astrologer, she had already done the divination; Leon was clearly a liar.

However, even if he lies all the time, it's impossible for him to see that he is pursuing a high-level demon and is also troubled by this thing.

Some of my secrets are unknown even to my mentor.

As for being mind-controlled?

The moment she thought of that word, it was as if something had erased the thought from her mind, and she stopped thinking about it altogether.

However, perhaps because of what Leon had just mentioned, she found herself already feeling a bit uneasy about the word.

"I might believe a little bit, and temporarily accept your claim that you are a miracle astrologer."

She spoke slowly:

"So, since you claim you can divine miracles, then let me ask you, what miracles are mine? And how can I find more high-level demons?"

Lyon's heart stirred slightly.

Bai Shaqilai wants to find more high-level demons?

What is the reason?

Is this her thought after being interfered with by demons, or does she spontaneously believe that only more demons can allow her to control the demons within her?

However, this also made Lyon understand the three purposes he mentioned in his previous conversation with Baisaqilai.

Thirty percent of the target is him, thirty percent is the Dragon Girl Tenia, and forty percent, mostly, is a high-level demon hidden in the school's headquarters.

According to the information on the panel, this demon should not be on Moretes.

Because of Morets's capture, Iris's Dark Fel quest did not progress.

On the one hand, it's possible that Bai Shaqilai possessed one naturally; on the other hand, it's also possible that there was another one hidden within the school at that time.

It may have originally been in Moretes, but was transferred.

In short, the situation is not clear.

However, despite the uncertainty, Lyon still has ways to negotiate.

"It seems you have been to the dungeon, but found that no high-level demons dare to approach you."

He spoke with certainty, a statement only someone with a thorough understanding of the characteristics of high-level demons could utter.

"Correct."

"Do you intend to kill the demon to gain merit, or do you have other purposes?"

"No comment."

"So it seems there's another purpose behind it. Could it be that you've really been corrupted by the demons, thinking that you can be freed by acquiring more high-level demons? Do you know that high-level demons devour each other to become stronger? The more demons you find, the more impossible it will be for you to escape them?"

Lyon made a casual sarcastic remark as a test.

Unexpectedly, Bai Shaqilai's expression clearly changed, her beautiful pinkish-purple pupils narrowed slightly, and her fluffy cat ears stood up.

So you guessed it?

Lyon had expected a more complicated reason, but it turned out to be surprisingly simple.

It seems that this astrologer was blinded by evil spirits.

[Character Bai Shaqi Lai's affection level +2%, current affection level 25%]

[Bai Shaqilai's hidden side quest "Demon Infestation" completion +5%, current completion 5%]

[Bai Shaqilai's hidden side quest "Mind Control" completion +20%, current completion 20%]

Wow, it seems this isn't just winning the lottery, but also a lucky big win.

Although the "Mind Control" task is only of beginner difficulty, it means that helping Bai Shaqilai break free from Helvie's mind control is not too difficult in essence. The key is to realize that she is being mind controlled.

After all, no matter how strong Herwiz's Mind Puppet Master skills are, she probably can't easily control a legend with two rare professions.

Perhaps it is precisely because both of them are secretive individuals that they have not been able to break free of mental control by external forces for so long.

"It seems you know more than I initially expected."

Bai Shaqilai's shocked expression returned to calm:

"Since you've provided so much information as promised, I'll let it slide for now. I hope you can recall more information during this time and reveal more when I come in next time, so I won't get itchy hands and want to whip you again."

She turned around, the cold, hard composite door of the cell clicked open automatically, she stepped out with her long white legs, and then closed it.

Lyon was surprised that Baisa Qilai was so trustworthy, and didn't take the opportunity to ask more questions.

Is it because she also needs time to organize her thoughts?

However, Lyon did not take the opportunity to dodge away, which was clearly useless.

In the instant she dodged, Bai Shaqilai's agility allowed her to detect it immediately and then suppress it with chessboard magic.

Even if he manages to escape, if Herwiz were there, she would definitely suppress him instantly.

It would be better to use this time to develop and accumulate strength, and wait for rescue from Britta, Ophimaso, or even Hamra.

As long as they still need intelligence, I am temporarily safe.

If there is no rescue, then by accumulating enough strength and waiting for Bai Shaqilai's chessboard marks to fade, one can immediately use the Shadowless Form to evade pursuit after finding a way to escape.

That's right, Lyon has already come up with a proper way to develop.

Use the deep purification mode to train the monster's muscle resonance technique.

Furthermore, by leveraging a deep sharing model to enhance mental strength, the intensity of intervention in fraud can be increased.

This is indeed a magic-banning circle, but it mainly bans spellcasting and the use of magic power for combat techniques.

As for magic, it doesn't disappear from one's body, but rather becomes difficult to access.

Compared to casting spells, mobilizing them within the body is less difficult, but it cannot create a strengthening effect.

So, if you enter both the deep purification mode and the deep sharing mode, and combine the two, can you mobilize magic to strengthen your muscles?

No, you don't even need to layer them; perhaps a single deep purification mode is enough.

He began to experiment with autonomously entering a deep purification mode.

boom!!!!

As soon as the mode is activated, the brain immediately becomes infinitely clear and focused.

The magic that was originally difficult to access was now clearly under his control, circulating within his body.

Although it is still impossible to cast spells or activate combat skills and traits.

However, the second-order frequency used to simulate the muscle strengthening of monsters is sufficient.

Just then, under that highly oppressive state, he had already grasped the essence of the second-order frequency.

Iris glanced at the bloodstains on Ang's back with heartache, took a deep breath, and with a determined look in her eyes, she also focused and entered a meditative state.

She was also put into deep purification mode by Leon, so her condition was naturally excellent at the moment.

Time slips away quietly.

……

Tavern.

"What information did you get this time?"

“Mentor, this person is full of lies. I need to carefully examine and perform divination to confirm which of those pieces of information are true. I will report back to you later.”

"So you're saying Leon Belon leaked a lot of secret information to you this time? Fine, I'll wait for your good news. Remember, we don't have much time. We should leave once we've asked enough questions."

"A good mentor."

Bai Shaqilai responded softly, turned and left, entering a dark corner of the tavern, and then disappeared from the spot.

……

News of Leon and Iris's disappearance has spread.

Both the Vatican and Ophelia, who received the news afterward, arranged for a search.

Hamra also temporarily put aside his activities of connecting with the envoys of the six kingdoms and entrusted the wandering elves active in the local area of ​​the Elven Holy Land to help with the search.

Adventurers' Guild.

It was afternoon.

"Huh, a missing person request? A handsome silver-haired man? Why does this person seem familiar to some of the main characters in the recent rumors?"

"Dude, you're not mistaken, this is the guy I told you about last time, the one who's supposedly going to marry the Second Princess."

"Haha, could it be that someone was jealous and just took him out?"

"Don't talk nonsense. This commission isn't just for the royal family; even the Holy See has commissioned someone. This guy is formidable."

"Both of humanity's superpowers are looking for him? And another beautiful pure-blooded elf has also gone missing? Could it be that they eloped? I think this is very likely just a bloody incident caused by a love triangle."

"Hey, that makes sense. Men and women are all about what happens in their crotches."

Such rumors occur from time to time.

The prevailing opinion is that the two eloped.

There's no other reason than that the disappearance of a man and a woman together inevitably raises such reasonable suspicions.

……

Deep within the palace.

"Father! Lyon is not that kind of person! He would never abandon me!"

“Ophie, don’t get agitated. Your second personality has only just gone dormant. Don’t trigger it again, or even if we find Leon Belon, we’ll only find you in poor physical condition, right?”

"Father, why didn't you say that just now?"

Ophim Marceau looked suspicious; just moments ago, Toulonier had announced, with obvious delight, the news of Lyon's apparent elopement.

"I was just saying that casually. Don't worry, I'll help you find it with more people and effort."

Tuerlongye coughed lightly. He was initially very happy, but what could he say when he saw Ophimaso's strong reaction?

We can only go along with Ophimasso's wishes for now.

As an epic-level powerhouse, the ruler of a nation, and one of the strongest humans in the world, the only thing he couldn't do anything about was his exceptionally talented daughter, who possessed superhuman strength from a young age.

……

A corner of the central cathedral.

The ninth and eighth saintesses, who were ranked the lowest, were whispering among themselves.

These two are also the youngest of the nine holy maidens. They were promoted from the candidates last year and are both only 16 years old, looking quite young.

"Why do Britta and Tumoria both look so strange? Didn't they return victorious the day before yesterday after wiping out the remnants of the Holy Blood School?"

"It's said that it's because Britta's advisor has gone missing."

"Then why is Tumoria also like this? And it feels like something's wrong with Tumoria, but something else is wrong with her."

The one who sensed something was wrong was the Ninth Saintess, Cynthia, who was just over 14 years old.

"How to say?"
