You are all my wings!

This sandstorm was an obstacle left behind by Helvies along the way. It was an epic-level magical mental storm that directly affected nearly a thousand kilometers of the border desert, creating a super natural disaster that made it almost impossible to travel to the surrounding areas.

When they arrived here following Leon's magical mark, the massive sandstorm severely hampered their progress.

"This can't go on. Let me go take a look first. This sandstorm doesn't affect me much. Machilu Elis, who can give me a magic mark first?"

Camille suddenly spoke during the journey.

After all, she is a legend and has two professions, specializing in physical cultivation. Although this magic is powerful, it is an area control skill with a large coverage area, which has a significant impact on those below the legend level, but it is not a big problem for her.

Upon hearing this, Maggie and Iris exchanged a glance.

Maggie said, "I'll give you mine."

The two of them naturally didn't want to give away what Leon had given them as his last possession to someone else. What if the magical mark was his keepsake?

However, considering that Camille is a legend, even if she can't beat Herwiz, she must have some means to fight back. So sending her there first might save Leon's life.

Although Lyon said he would be fine, the others had naturally prepared for the worst.

Camille took a small mark from Machiru's hand and examined it closely: it was a ring, pale gold in color, of unknown material, but covered with mysterious characters shrouded in magical light, giving it a somewhat mystical appearance.

Holding this thing in her hand, she could vaguely sense Lyon's location and distance.

"Is this thing really that amazing?"

She was surprised. What's the principle behind this?

Maggie didn't answer, and Camille knew it wasn't the time to ask. She immediately leaped into the air, swept away against the sandstorm, and disappeared from everyone's sight at high speed.

At a distant point, Bai Shaqilai casually performed a divination, her expression subtly changing, and the tips of her pink cat ears stood up:

"A legend, an epic, a saintess with divine authority has actually come to save Leon Belon? Looks like I need to hurry. When it comes to planning and secrecy, I can even fool her with an epic!"

If it weren't for the advice Leon gave, which included many details that hadn't been clarified and many things that needed to be asked during practical application, she probably would have backed down in the face of this lineup.

But now, we have to bite the bullet and go for it.

At the same moment, Margaret, her petite figure trailing far behind Britta, waved her hand to brush away the sandstorm blocking her way and strolled forward.

"This magic is quite powerful. Which epic would want to kidnap Lyon? With my newly promoted strength, I'm afraid I might not be able to handle it. So, should I ask Moripe to take action? But she's guarding the Holy See, and His Holiness the Pope is temporarily missing. If she leaves too, the Holy See will be vulnerable and easily invaded."

She felt conflicted.

Honestly, she wanted to save Leon, because she still had things she wanted to do with him, and she couldn't just stand by and watch him get into trouble.

Even Britta and Lyon's private affairs weren't exposed by her.

……

On the second night of being held under house arrest in the hotel.

The moonlight outside the window was deep and dim. Suddenly, a group of knights burst into each house and searched the streets. The noise caused many residents to light candles and get up.

Lyon happened to be taking a break, so he listened carefully.

"The Prince's secret treasure has been stolen. All outsiders must be searched!"

So that's how it is. Herwiz has already made her move?

Just as I was thinking this, the door creaked open, and a woman in a black dress stepped in.

"I must say, this Sambor is quite good at accumulating wealth. He actually has three secret treasures lying idle in his treasury, including this Sacred Relic Spring Map. Luckily, he listened to you and chose it first, so we don't have to go through the trouble of going to other places. Come on, let's take the so-called secret passage and take me to the Sacred Mural!"

Herwiz walked over with a smile, tossing three items in her hand.

Good heavens, Herwiz is incredibly efficient. She's only been here for a day and a half and she's already stolen the legendary prince's treasure.

However, her abilities are clearly well-suited for this kind of work.

As she travels along, she gains control over all the guards, and can obtain most intelligence unless it is something particularly secretive.

Although it was disgraceful for an epic to do such sneaky work, as a fallen dark elf, she naturally didn't care about such a trivial matter.

Lyon sighed inwardly. It seemed that Iris, who was chasing after him, would waste even more time on the journey. Every detour would make them waste even more time.

On this side, just as they were about to grab Leon, Ophie, and Marceau and leave, Helvie's nose twitched, and her smiling face faded:

"Oh? While I was painstakingly searching for the treasure, you two were having such a good time? Well, very well indeed."

Although Ophie Marceau was essentially a hostage she had sent to Lyon, and this scene was somewhat expected, the subtle scent in the air immediately dampened her good mood.

With a cold expression, she stretched out her long black skirt, wrapped it around the two of them, and then disappeared on the spot.

……

Several hours later.

As Camille arrived in Bolas City in Sambor Territory, apart from Baishaqilai who had foreseen that Helvie's destination had changed direction, the others were still struggling to move forward in the sandstorm until Iris discovered that the location of the magic mark had changed.

Meanwhile, Leon had already led Helvie through the underground passages of the outer city of the capital, bypassing the entrance to the Auradu Underground City and taking side paths on each level at an extremely fast pace.

After all, they were epic-level experts. In the past, it would have taken them several days to travel there, and they would have had to be careful to avoid monsters. But now, with Helvie leading the way and with Leon being familiar with the side roads, they quickly arrived at the side road area on the 40th floor and prepared to take a detour to the 41st floor.

Along the way, Herwiz casually killed a few fourth or fifth-tier monsters who didn't know their place, and flew straight past without collecting her spoils, leaving Leon speechless.

After she killed the sixth-tier common monster, the Azure Ring Serpent, on the 41st side path, Leon hurriedly shouted:

"Sir, since we are still a short distance from the sacred mural, why don't we get some fresh food? The meat of this giant snake is delicious. I guarantee that eating it fresh will be much better than the dried meat that you have stored for a long time, and it will also have a better recovery effect."

Upon hearing this, Herwiz immediately stopped flying, her body hovering in mid-air. Her long black dress billowed forward with inertia, revealing her fair and slender ankles, and the rounded shape of her buttocks behind the dress became quite eye-catching.

"You still dare to speak to me? But..."

She glanced back at Leon, a thoughtful look flashing in her beautiful, obsidian-black eyes:

How are your cooking skills?

"That would be excellent."

"Then I'll leave it to you to take care of it, as soon as possible."

"Your Excellency, if it needs to be done quickly, I hope you can unseal a small portion of my magic. Some of my self-created micro-magic spells are very suitable for handling these tasks. Not much, just one-tenth will suffice. I promise I will not take the opportunity to escape, after all, I came back for Orpheus, didn't I?"

Lyon remained expressionless.

In fact, he has already activated the autonomous triple deep mode and is also preparing to unleash the Miracle Catcher skill.

If I could observe Helvie's method of sealing me, glean some insights, and obtain some information, it might help me find the key to breaking my own miracle divination technique.

Herwiz observed Lyon for a moment, then said calmly:

"Alright, I doubt you'd dare to try anything funny."

With a casual wave of her hand, an invisible force descended upon Leon.

A strange feeling welled up inside me.

It was as if some kind of shackle deep within my soul had been unlocked.

The feeling was too fast and too rapid. He was surprised to find that even in his Tri-Depth Mode, he could not fully grasp the full scope of Helvie's move. He only felt that the invisible power unleashed in that instant was extremely intricate and meticulous, like a complex and precisely assembled machine that was dazzling.

Miracle Catcher skill activated!

Buzz!

Lyon entered a more mystical state, as if countless streams of light were hurtling towards him.

At that moment, he looked inward and vaguely caught a key point, and suddenly had some understanding.

As expected of a legendary mind-sealing magic, it actually distorted all my subconscious memories of successful and failed attempts to project magic.

No wonder they couldn't even summon the newly generated magic this time.

Moreover, this trick was done very discreetly, and even if one noticed this crucial detail, it would be impossible to quickly crack the code.

It takes a little time to recall and reflect on past spellcasting experiences, and slowly find the correct subconscious memories in order to regain the spellcasting skills that have been practiced to the point of being instinctive.

Without the triple-mode stacking and Miracle Catcher abilities, it would probably take him more than a decade to break this blocking technique.

Now, if you combine it with miracle divination, it can usually be done in one or two weeks.

In other words, I have to pretend to be polite for another two weeks?

He shook his head inwardly. Oh well, at least he could learn about Herwiz's magic along the way.

After all, although he had also tried to win over Helvie in his previous life, it was mainly through combat strategies rather than emotional ones, so he certainly didn't know anything about her personal story or the specific details of her magic.

Now, we must understand her more thoroughly in order to ensure that we remain on the safe side and find ways to escape or even retaliate.

While he was thinking, he landed on the ground and quickly began to deal with the blue-ringed snake.

Blood is drawn, skin is peeled, internal organs are removed, and the parts are cut along the magical veins to select the most suitable edible parts.

Although his trip to the dungeon was rushed and he didn't bring any cooking tools, he had already learned a few alchemical spells while accompanying Treina in her studies. He immediately used the on-the-spot materials, gathering iron and stone with the Alchemy spell, and then used the Perfect-grade Hurricane Flame Bullet compression technique to melt the bones of the Azure Ring Serpent at high temperatures. He combined the two to make a large pot and barbecue skewers, and then used the Freeze spell to reshape them.

With the three-mode enhancement, he could do these things with ease. Every item was exquisite, gleaming coldly in the dim light, with no rough edges to be seen. Moreover, he was extremely efficient, completing the tool's creation in just a few minutes.

Helvie watched from the side, the coldness in her eyes slowly disappearing, and she nodded slightly:

"You are quite talented. You can do this much with only one-tenth of your magic power. You can even make so many moves with a disgusting-looking monster like a sixth-order serpent."

Although she was rejected by the world, she still loved beauty and disliked the damp and gloomy creature, the Blue Ringed Serpent.

But as Lyon methodically worked out the pieces of meat that looked reasonably appetizing, the feeling of disgust disappeared.

[Herbie's favorability increased by 2%, current favorability is 28%]

Ophimaso looked forward to it, thinking: "My dear is cooking for me for the first time. What a memorable day this would be if this dark elf weren't here."

"By the way, honey, you don't have any seasonings, how can you make it taste good?"

Ophie Marceau leaned closer to Lyon, watching as he deftly skewered pieces of roasted meat onto bone skewers, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

"Don't worry, seasonings can be minerals or the flavor of other materials. They can be extracted using alchemy. We can get a lot of seasonings here by using local materials."

As he spoke, Leon had already swiftly completed the preparation of the seasoning with a series of micro-magic spells, and then used alchemical magic to evenly infuse the seasoning into the meat, which was then quickly roasted.

In no time, the enchanting fragrance filled the air.

Each skewer is full of flavor, with a slightly pungent, spicy, and salty aroma. The seasoning is extracted from fluorescent moss, which Lyon sourced locally. It contains a small amount of capsaicin, while the saltiness comes from the salt in the blood of monsters.

The two women each took one, and the aroma made their stomachs itch, so they couldn't resist the urge to eat.

Herwiz took a small bite, the juice bursting on her tongue, the slightly spicy and fragrant flavor flowing in her mouth. Her eyes lit up, and she began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

"Excellent, I haven't had such fresh and delicious monster meat in a long time."

As she ate, she remarked with a smile to Leon:

"You're really good. This meal of meat has made me decide to go for it again."

Leon, who was just eating meat and feeling his strength attribute rapidly increasing, was taken aback when he heard this: "What determination?"

Herwiz smiled slightly, her rose-red lips appearing even more vibrant and striking against the backdrop of the barbecue juices.

"Of course, I want you to follow me for the rest of your life, serve me, and help me become a god. After all, it's rare to find an all-around support talent like you. Don't worry, once I become a god, I will guide you and make you my subordinate god. As for any external forces that try to stop me, I will naturally kill them one by one. So, you should warn your past confidantes not to provoke me. Next time, I won't hold back."

[Herbie's favorability increased by 10%, current favorability is 38%]

Lyon noticed the sudden surge in favorability, but instead of feeling joy, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Helvie looks normal, but is she actually a yandere?

Or is she an epic-level yandere?

Just because I genuinely praised her beauty before?

Just as Lyon was about to say something, Helvie glanced at Ophie Marceau:

"I used to think you were a good hostage, but now you're really an eyesore. I might as well just kill you right here and now, so you won't keep hanging around in front of me and getting on my nerves."

She reached out and made a grasping motion, and her mental magic suddenly erupted.

Chapter 377 I cannot bear to say anything against my conscience to someone as charismatic as you!

Using the last of his magic power, Leon teleported before Ophimasso and said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency, why do you keep changing your mind like this?"

Herwiz paused briefly, a burst of magical light gathering in her hand, ready to be unleashed at any moment.

"Get out of my way. Don't think I won't punish you just because I have my eye on you."

"Your Excellency, if you kill Orpheus, it will be even more difficult for you to become a god in the future. Do you know why?"
