You are all my wings!

Britta shook her head; this guy was surprisingly wary of her.

"Lyon Belon, come out, you don't need to hide anymore."

"As expected of the Holy Maiden, she has keen insight and easily discovered my disguise."

Lyon's figure slowly emerged from the shadows in the corner.

"Heh, I think you deliberately leaked your presence. When did you get here?"

Britta slowly turned around and met Lyon's gaze.

Chapter Five: What kind of relationship do you want with Iris?

"I was probably there when the Holy Maiden said she was interested in me."

Lyon smiled and replied.

"Wow, that's really embarrassing."

Britta's narrow, slanted eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone was gentle.

At this moment, Leon noticed that the character panel had changed.

Unexpectedly, I gained something unexpected today, and also activated the panel information of another S-rank character.

The woman in front of me is the second female lead in "Sword, Magic and Holy Land 1".

[Character: Britta von Hesstia]

Age/Life Expectancy: 26/168

[Plot Weight: a]

[Potential Level: S]

[Class: Holy Prayer]

Current Level: Tier 4

【主要属性：生命力59/魔力量59/体力49/力量45/敏捷51】

[Title: Protector of the Gods, Listener of the Earth]

[Current character affinity: 40%]

[Character's main story quest "The Chosen One" has been unlocked]

[Mission Details: Help the Church of Astalia regain its sole status as the dominant religion in the Kingdom of Horsha]

[Quest Rewards: Increases maximum mana by 50; rewards Advanced Holy Prayer]

[The character's personal side quest "The Selection of Paladins" has been unlocked]

[Mission Details: Help Britta von Hestia win this year's selection of paladins for the Church of Astalia]

[Quest Rewards: Increase maximum mana by 10; Reward: Basic Holy Prayer]

They immediately gained over 40% favorability and even received two missions?

Lyon quickly checked the panel information and was secretly pleased.

It seems I'm about to have a bumper harvest this time.

Incidentally, although Britta is a fourth-tier character, her attributes seem to be similar to those of Iris, who is a third-tier character.

However, apart from their faster growth rate, humans are far inferior to pure-blooded elves in every other aspect of their racial advantages.

In addition, the divine protection that Britta possesses also grants her various high-level resistances, faster mana regeneration, and a multiplied effect when casting Holy Prayer.

In particular, there are four levels of divine protection, from low to high: blessing, protection, protection, and favor. Britta received the very rare second level, and after activating the protection effect, her combat power will definitely far exceed her current attributes.

Moreover, the fourth tier is stronger than the third tier and below in every aspect, and the class bonus is extremely powerful.

At this stage, Britta easily defeats Iris.

As a seasoned player, Leon would certainly not be misled by mere attribute information.

However, since they were now in front of the person in charge of the mission, after quickly reviewing the mission details and attributes, Leon focused his attention on Britta in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, the appearance of this papal saint is indeed stunning.

Beneath her long, black hair that reached her eyebrows, a pair of pure black eyes were round and bright, with narrow, phoenix-like corners that added a touch of subtle, devilish charm to her otherwise handsome features.

Her magnificent long dress concealed her body, but her exceptionally elegant and serene demeanor revealed the graceful lines of her figure.

Compared to the aloof and beautiful Iris, Britta, in terms of type, gives the impression of elegance and purity.

But Leon knew that Britta was the most ruthless heroine in the Sword, Magic and Holy Land series.

Beneath her saintly face lies a ruthless and merciless nature, capable of both killing and showing no mercy.

Lofty ideals, unwavering will, iron will, insightful understanding of human nature, and the ability to easily manipulate people's hearts.

Before appearing in Sword, Magic and Holy Land 1, her most famous feat was exploring a lost dungeon as the daughter of a concubine of a fallen nobleman, finding a divine relic, successfully summoning a miracle in the church, gaining divine protection, and using this to change her class from a magic swordsman to the rare class of holy supper.

This established her status as the ninth saint of the Papacy.

After becoming a saintess, she reorganized the Papal Knights and conquered the monster forest north of the capital.

In just three years, they conquered a vast and prosperous land equivalent to two capital cities.

As a result, she gained the support of many knights and was promoted to the third saintess based on her merits and the popularity she enjoyed under the knightly order.

Among the nine saintesses of the Astalia Cult, she had the lowest birth but the highest reputation.

Even the two senior saintesses were not as well-known among the common people as she was.

From the very beginning, she was a character whose mental and physical abilities had been essentially fully evolved.

Even at the extraordinary level, it is a rare high position among people of the same age.

This is Britta.

Unlike Iris, who had to undergo various trials to transform from an arrogant and proud character into a more charismatic and heroic one.

Unfortunately, Britta will perish together with the big boss before the end of the first movie.

If it's not a mutual destruction, then it's a self-sacrifice to defeat the big boss.

Leon, who had played through all the side quests, knew that Britta's death was almost inevitable.

There is only a very small chance of reaching Britta's perfect ending.

This is why, despite being the second character in the first part, Britta's plot weight is only A, even less than Iris's A+ weight, who was a background character in the early part and only rose to prominence later.

As for the present, Lyon has another question.

I haven't even met Britta yet, so why does she have such a high initial level of liking for me?

40% is already a fairly high level of friendliness.

Once they cross the 60% mark, it wouldn't be surprising if they developed into lovers at any time.

A flood of information rushed through his mind, and Leon began to speak:

"What I'm more curious about is why the Holy Maiden would be interested in someone as insignificant as me."

“You are a well-known figure who successfully killed a wyvern larva at the first level, how can you be considered an unknown nobody?”

Britta smiled slightly.

"No, no, it's just a rumor."

Lyon looked humble.

In reality, he hadn't yet been promoted to a higher rank at that time, but his combat strength couldn't be measured by ordinary first-rank standards. Although his progress in improving his strength was slower than he had hoped, as a transmigrator, he still had some tricks up his sleeve.

“Excessive modesty seems hypocritical, Leon Belon. I’m currently looking for a suitable strategist. Your ability to win against overwhelming odds must be due not only to your own superior qualities but also to your strategic thinking.”

Britta maintained her usual gentle voice.

"I see. Since the selection of this year's Holy Knights is approaching, does Your Excellency intend to increase your chances of winning through strategy?"

Lyon said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, Britta's eyes flickered slightly.

"You guessed my purpose from just a few words? It seems I was right."

"You flatter me, Your Holiness. This is just a reasonable deduction, isn't it?"

"The selection of paladins is still at least three months away, which is not easy to predict. Alright, enough of the small talk. I want to ask you, what kind of relationship do you want with Iris?"

Leon was slightly taken aback. "That's a really strange question..."

He stared into Britta's beautiful, black pearl-like eyes and slowly asked:

"May I ask from what standpoint Your Excellency is asking this question?"

"If you can become my advisor, I will recommend that you two get married. What do you think?"

Britta suddenly uttered such a startling statement.

Chapter Six: Rare Professions

"marry?"

Lyon hadn't expected that Britta had this in mind.

"So, the Holy Maiden wants to be inclusive and bring both me and Iris, the elven diplomat, to her side?"

"It's so easy to talk to someone as smart as you, that's right, that's exactly what I'm after. Think about it, Leon Berlon. I can give you a week to consider it, how about that?"

Lyon burst into laughter at Britta's question.

"Hahaha, the Holy Maiden is quite the joker."

"I'm not joking!"

Lyon's reaction surprised Britta.

But I must say, even with Lyon's unladylike laughter, he still gave Britta a dashing and beautiful air.

Britta stared at Lyon a few more times.

After Lyon finished laughing, he noticed Britta's gaze and returned it without hesitation.

“Your Holiness, I suggest you reconsider this proposal.”

"why?"

"Perhaps you underestimate the hidden power behind Iris. Her marriage is not something that humans can decide so easily."

Upon hearing this, Britta frowned slightly: "Even if the Holy Land of the Elves has already asked these diplomats to increase intermarriage with humans?"

“That’s right, Your Majesty might as well investigate further.”

Lyon said with a slight smile:

"I had a very pleasant chat with the Holy Maiden today. Since I have something to attend to later, I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

After saying that, he slowly retreated, disappearing into the shadows of the corner of the wall.

From Britta's perspective, as soon as Leon's body entered the corner, he blended into the shadows like a drop of ink and vanished instantly.

This scene also cast a shadow of frost over Britta's face, as she realized that her investigation of Lyon had also been flawed.

After a moment of silence, Britta murmured softly:

"What an amazing performance, a rare profession: the Shadow Walker?"

At this moment, her face showed a different kind of joy.

The rarer a profession is, the more bizarre and unique its core skills become.

Just like her extraordinary profession, the Holy Prayer, even though her own magical power is not top-notch, she can still pray for the blessing of the goddess Astalia and generate immense power.

Therefore, even though she was only at the fourth level, she was still able to accomplish many great feats.

She already considered Leon as her future subordinate, and was naturally pleased with the new power he displayed. She decided that she must give Leon and Iris a push to get married, and then bring them both under her command!
