You are all my wings!

Chapter 81 I Smell Lies on You

"Well, how should I put it? It's quite amazing. But to be specific about what I've gained, I feel like I can use my intermediate magic more smoothly now. However, I feel there's something else, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

Iris pondered for a long time with a pained expression.

Lyon rarely saw her frown, and couldn't help but run his index finger across her brow.

Why do you look so bitter?

"Your mouth is constantly eating monster meat to replenish your magic power, my teeth are getting sore, Leon, don't you feel any soreness?"

Iris seemed to be so tormented by toothache that she didn't even notice Leon's caresses, letting him experience the smooth and delicate feel of her skin.

"At least I have a warrior-type second job. Although my strength is a bit less than yours, my technique for exerting force is better than yours, so chewing it isn't too difficult."

Leon's strength is 37, while Iris's is 39. Strictly speaking, she is indeed stronger than Leon.

However, as a pure spellcaster, Iris's high strength attribute is a racial talent. Although she also engages in daily training, it mainly increases naturally. She is not on the same level as someone like Leon who has mastered multiple combat skills in terms of power exertion.

Attributes determine the maximum potential, but how much you can achieve depends on your profession and training direction.

Just like Karl and Bovary, their attributes are probably not too different, but one is good at tanking skills such as parrying and blocking, while the other is good at roaming and striking. Their fighting styles are completely different, and their power generation techniques are also completely different.

Lyon himself is an example. Due to his two major skills of casting without chanting and high-speed casting, he can easily defeat his opponents when they have the same magic power and rank.

"So how exactly do you train to work even the muscles in your teeth?"

"This is a skill that warrior-type professions naturally learn to save energy; it's not something you can achieve simply by building muscle."

"If I encounter a similar monster, won't I have to grit my teeth until they ache?"

"You can try learning a few combat skills to train. If you're lucky, you might even trigger the enlightenment of a second profession."

“I see. But I feel that learning light magic is very time-consuming, and I’m afraid I don’t have the time.”

"Iris, I smell lies on you."

As Leon spoke, he took the opportunity to sniff Iris's cheek.

Iris blushed.

She quickly pushed Leon's hand away and walked to the exposed form of the Cosmic Light Moss.

"What should we do with this thing? Should we stop attacking it?"

"No need. It's safe now that its magic is exhausted and its tentacles can't regenerate for a while. Besides, killing it rashly would damage the target item. This step needs to be dismantled slowly; we can't rush it."

The body of the zoetrope no longer resembles a normal moss. If one had to describe it, it would be a twisted moss that has grown larger due to a fungal infection.

It has both the slender, dense mycelium unique to fungal monsters and the sticky, fuzzy, green moss leaves. The two intertwine to form a thick green tendon that connects the upper and lower ends of the branch road.

Aside from its rather disgusting appearance, the complex spectrum constantly emitted by this cosmic moss, resembling the complex colors of dozens of rainbows superimposed and flowing before everyone's eyes, does have the mythical charm of being used by gods to build temples.

"Looks like we're in luck. This thing has only just grown to the fourth tier. We can fight it easily and the rewards won't be bad either."

Lyon observed for a moment and then gave his judgment.

He drew his second-tier magic sword and stepped forward.

"You've all worked hard. Take a break and eat something to recover your energy. I'll take care of this."

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing Leon mention "eating," the knights all displayed expressions of terror akin to those of addicts going through withdrawal.

"No need, my mouth has been moving all day, and my mouth tastes like jerky. I can't stand it."

Milo reacted the most, waving his hands repeatedly.

Despite his naturally laid-back personality, he tried his best several times under Leon's provocation and the aura of trust.

But over time, they eventually reverted to their true nature.

Unlike Bovary, whose effects were exceptionally long-lasting, so long that even Leon sometimes couldn't stand his fervor.

Among the knights, Mark Le seemed to be enjoying himself immensely, his eyes gleaming with a hint of something more.

Leon chuckled, ignoring them, and first infused the magic sword with magic power to activate the sharpening enchantment.

Then, following a very subtle line down the middle of the moss, gently cut it from top to bottom.

tear.

Milky white sap slowly seeped out from the cut along the cut of the stem of the moss.

The juice had a sweet aroma, and Leon wanted to lick it to try, but remembering the description in the Dietary Guidelines that this stuff was more suitable for alchemy than for consumption (it contained neurotoxins), he gave up on that idea.

Leon took out the alchemy bottle, activated a miniature suction wind, and drew the liquid into the alchemy bottle.

Then, he took out a handkerchief to dry the magic sword, put it back in its sheath, took out the dismantling knife, and cut open the thick moss skin and dense hyphae on the outer layer of the cosmic moss.

After cutting through the outer barrier, a beautiful, translucent stem, as clear as white jade, was revealed inside.

This is the core of the Lightmoss spell, an item with the mythical property of distorting the flow of time.

Leon held it in his hand for a while, then tossed it to Iris.

"This is yours, Iris. Advance to the fourth rank as soon as possible, so that if the Holy Blood School attacks, we will have more fighting power to deal with them."

No one disagreed with this point, as Lyon had already explained it before.

Of course, this is also because Britta, who has the authority to make the decisions, has no objections.

"But the auxiliary materials for the advancement ceremony..."

Iris was also surprised to receive the upgrade item so quickly, and she was a little stunned when she received it.

"Don't worry, I bought all the upgrade materials before entering the dungeon, just in case. It cost 34 gold coins. Remember to pay me back later."

Lyon took out a bunch of auxiliary materials from the large package behind him, then pointed to the ground, indicating to Iris to draw an upgrade magic circle.

"Okay, Lyon, you're so thoughtful."

Iris was both amused and exasperated; she was in debt again.

She walked to the corner at the end of the side road and began to draw the magic wand.

Everyone turned their heads away and looked in other directions.

After all, the magic circle used in this advancement ceremony was a secret knowledge passed down in the elven holy land, and everyone knew to avoid suspicion, even if they couldn't understand the mysterious characters on the circle.

Lyon walked to the end and began digging a pit.

If you're lucky, you might be able to obtain the life roots of the Lightmoss after its life has been restored.

Last time I ate half of the life root of the man-eating flower, and my life force increased by 4 points in one go.

This cosmic moss is at least a powerful fourth-tier moss. Even if the spell core is not suitable for consumption, the life roots should be good, right?

After digging for a while, Lyon shook his head regretfully. It seemed that he wouldn't always be so lucky.

Well, even if the Radiant Moss doesn't have the ability to return life and can't condense life roots, all parts of its body, except for the moss leaves and sap which are slightly toxic, are suitable for consumption.

After eating pork jerky all day, it's time for a change of pace.

For dinner, let's make a soup with moss stems, mushrooms, and dried meat.

Chapter 82 Your Excellency made me realize my own weakness again.

After Lyon dismantled Zhou Guangtai's body, he kept a small portion to make dried moss, and cooked the rest into a large pot of fragrant soup with some spices.

"You really aren't going to eat?"

"No, no, no."

Milo firmly refused.

"Sir, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't have much of an appetite. Just give me a little bit of soup, that's fine, nothing else."

Bovary touched his belly, then lowered his head with a look of embarrassment and shame.

Carl seemed to still be disgusted by Mark. He stood guard on the outer edge of the side road, quietly practicing his sword skills, his face showing the resolute look of a sage, and did not respond to Leon.

Mark: "Yes, sir. I was a little loud when I spoke to you earlier, and I feel really bad about it now! Please leave some for me. I feel I can't refuse your kindness as a way of thanking you."

Lyon was speechless. "If you can, I'd be happier if you used this gratitude for something more useful next time."

He served a bowl of soup to Bovary and Mark respectively.

Then he looked at Britta.

Her lips twitched almost imperceptibly, then she immediately regained her composure.

"You can enjoy it yourself; I don't need it for now."

Although it is a powerful monster, the appearance of the Lightmoss is indeed a bit crazy.

Of course, this is not the core reason why everyone refused.

It's a powerful monster, after all; its crazy appearance shouldn't deter superhumans from eating it.

The main reason was that the magic of continuously eating meat to replenish their bodies throughout the day caused them to develop anorexia in a short period of time.

Although Lyon estimated they would be better in two or three days, it seemed they wouldn't have the chance to enjoy this delicious food for now.

As for Leon himself, he possesses the core elemental magic mage skill of Rapid Mana Recovery, which makes him quite efficient at digesting monster flesh.

In addition, he had been used to this operation for five years, so it didn't have much of an impact.

He started drinking it bowl by bowl.

Slurp, slurp.

It smells so good, really good.

This refreshing and mellow soup, this crisp and delicious moss stem, it's so delicious and crunchy!

While drinking, he glanced at Iris, who was still drawing a magic circle.

That makes sense. After all, it's a fourth-tier advancement ceremony, the first step from low to mid-tier. Given the rarity of the Light Elementalist profession, it's not surprising that the advancement ceremony is complex.

After eating a large chunk of moss, Leon noticed a change in the panel.

Ok?

The increase was actually in power?

It's strange that eating monsters skilled in time magic increases one's strength.

Is it because the moss stems are relatively thick?

Although puzzled, Lyon did not hesitate and ate it in large mouthfuls.

The moss itself is not large; after removing the inedible parts, its total weight is less than 100 pounds.

With the soup, he finished it quickly, leaving only a little soup and scraps, making his stomach feel very full.

【主要属性：生命力48/魔力量51/体力41/力量41/敏捷47】

Strength increased by 4 points in one go!

Cool!

This time, he once again enjoyed the attribute growth all to himself.

It seems that the attribute bottlenecks of the three professions are still quite high, and all three of my professions are rare professions, which have a higher bonus than ordinary professions.

Rare professions tend to appreciate in value because extraordinary professions receive blessings from the world. The fewer people who hold a profession, the greater the blessings they receive because there are few competitors in the same field.

This enhancement manifests in many ways, including job affinity, ease of learning related skills, potential bottlenecks and limits in attributes, etc., all of which are different.

Furthermore, with a panel like Leon's that allows him to see the attribute increases after eating monster meat in real time, even if he has short-term anorexia, he would probably grit his teeth and eat it to accumulate attributes as quickly as possible.

Others don't have his advantages, and their potential bottlenecks are relatively low. Even when they eat monster meat, they can only feel that they seem to have improved, yet they also feel that they haven't improved. It's a very subtle feeling.

You'll only experience a noticeable increase in attributes by eating foods that can boost them all at once.

what.

In addition to physical strength, magic power also increased by two points.

At this moment, Leon realized that he had missed some information.
