You are all my wings!

"It's nothing. I just felt guilty thinking about how I didn't perform well in the battle just now and almost hurt you, Mark."

Carl panicked, afraid that his wild thoughts would be discovered, and in his nervousness, he made up an excuse on the spot.

Mark was immediately moved and overjoyed.

Leon noticed the Four Horsemen's conversation, waved his wand, and casually cast six basic water healing spells over them.

All four of them had some bruises on their bodies.

As the tank, Karl naturally suffered the most severe injuries, with minor bone fractures all over his body, and his walking movements were somewhat deformed.

The reason they've made it this far from the battlefield is thanks to the advantages of their knightly profession, their immense physical strength, and their unwavering will.

So he directly consumed three of Leon's water healing spells and recovered most of his health.

For the remaining part, all that's left is rest and nourishment.

The injuries to the other three were still manageable, so Leon only released one of each to repair the obvious wounds.

"Eat more of the monster meat we stored up earlier and take good care of your injuries. We should wait until the Holy Maiden has recovered before we can move on."

On the way there, Lyon had already briefly explained Britta's condition to the group, so although the four were worried, they did not come up to disturb Britta's recovery.

"Should we still fight that fake wisdom tree?"

"Definitely, it has already been weakened by us quite a bit, it would be a waste of resources not to attack it."

The pseudo-wisdom tree is very strong and can easily defeat other fifth-tier powerful beings.

However, its weakness has been found by Lyon. As long as Britta recovers, with the current configuration of four Tier 4 and multiple Tier 3 experts, the success rate of attacking it is very high.

If it were another powerful fifth-tier opponent, Lyon would not dare to act rashly.

In addition, Lyon was also quite interested in the sacred murals.

This item was a legendary item that he had heard of in his previous life but had never seen. On the forum, only a few lucky players could encounter it and gain some mysterious insights.

If you can get something good from this, that would be great.

After resting for a while, Reynt's group and Lyon's group began to exchange pleasantries and introduce themselves.

The fourth-tier female assassin is named Hoshir Kashlermi, and is Reent's younger sister.

Her face was covered by a black veil, revealing only a pair of beautiful, slanted eyes and delicate eyebrows. She had a curvaceous figure and all the right features, but she remained silent the whole way, not uttering a single word.

He exchanged pleasantries with the crowd, but only nodded briefly before falling silent.

In response, Reynter explained that Hossil had a cursed throat that made it unsuitable for him to speak, and that it was not meant to be rude; he hoped everyone would understand.

The two looked very different in appearance and temperament; one was beautiful and aloof, while the other was rugged and passionate.

When it was introduced that they were siblings, Milo almost blurted out something offensive like, "You two look like you were born of completely different mothers." Luckily, Mark loudly praised their relationship, interrupting Milo, otherwise the atmosphere would have been very awkward.

The third-tier scout was a halfling named Kircha, who belonged to the subhuman race.

Halflings have worse attributes than regular humans, so it should be difficult for them to join a strong adventurer team.

However, he is quite skilled. Judging by his agility alone, he can be considered a top-tier third-level fighter. According to the others, he is also a dual-class user, possessing another rare profession: a trap expert.

Ironically, the two young spellcasters who looked remarkably alike were not siblings, but a couple.

The man's name is John, and the woman's name is Sally; both are common names in the southern part of the Kingdom of Horsha.

After thinking about these characters for a while, Leon realized that he actually remembered them all.

Chapter 115 Master! What should I do next?!

Leon remembered that this so-called Long Spear Adventurer Group was one of the forces under the command of the future first female protagonist.

No, according to the timeline, these people should have already made contact with the first female lead and joined her ranks. They are currently an unofficial force under her control. Their purpose in entering the underground city this time is to spy on the secrets of the Holy Maiden's operation.

In other words, due to this monster uprising, the two sides, who should have kept their secrets from each other, have surprisingly formed a temporary team.

While secretly amused, Leon also recalled a series of information about the first female lead.

The main female character is Ophimasso von Horsha, the second princess of the Kingdom of Horsha, who has many prestigious titles.

The continent's number one female swordswoman, the kingdom's number one beauty, the lightning commander, and the peace ambassador.

And, the dragon slayer.

That's right. Ophimaso, who is currently only at the fifth rank, has already accomplished many feats and been granted the title of king ahead of schedule. As long as he advances to the sixth rank, he can directly obtain the royal territory.

The most astonishing and widely celebrated feat was leading a large legion two years ago to successfully kill an elderly seventh-tier legendary dragon.

This is a great feat of slaying demons.

In this world, dragons are divided into intelligent species and demonic creatures.

Monster dragons, collectively known as demon dragons, possess powerful magic but low intelligence. They are generally the deepest floor masters of various dungeons. If the monsters in the dungeon are not properly eliminated, they will take the opportunity to flow back to the surface, wreaking havoc and causing terror and destruction.

A single seventh-tier demonic dragon is enough to destroy a small to medium-sized country.

Intelligent dragons have subtle differences, such as red dragons, blue dragons, and golden dragons. They currently live in the far west and rarely venture into the central part of the continent to cause trouble. They are collectively known as intelligent dragons.

A seventh-tier demonic dragon is comparable to a major natural disaster; its power is terrifying and extraordinary.

Even if he led a large legion, and even if the seventh-tier dragon was in the final stages of its life and its strength was greatly reduced, Ophimaso would still have to pay a huge price to defeat it, and it would not be an easy victory.

Therefore, if we only look at the current paper strength comparison between Britta and Ophimaso, Britta is basically completely defeated.

But things can't be viewed so simply.

Because the emerging court power represented by Orpheus was still weak, while the Papacy behind Britta not only had the support of the gods, but also a terrifying foundation built up over a longer history than the Horsha royal family, and a powerful organizational structure that the Horsha Kingdom could not match.

Before the two sides completely break off relations, the Papacy is still controlling everything behind the scenes in the kingdom.

Had it not been for King Horshah IX's extraordinary strength, the court's power would have been even more wretched.

Orpheus is also very popular. In the first two installments of the Sword, Magic and Holy Land series, she was the undisputed main heroine. In the third installment, she stepped down as the main character, but her popularity remained high.

It wasn't until the fourth book, when Iris ascended to demigod status, that Iris surpassed her in popularity.

As for Britta, if she hadn't sacrificed herself so early in the first part, given the rapid growth of the Holy Prayer class, there would probably have been much more to the story in her struggle against Ophimasso.

These pieces of information came to mind, and Lyon also chatted casually with Reyn and the others, trying to glean information from them indirectly.

After chatting for a while, the two began to take turns keeping watch and resting.

After finishing his fourth-tier bear jerky, Leon took out the Ice-Reduced Unicorn and the Kraken Brain Core and began his usual meditation training.

Meanwhile, Iris, who had been sitting next to Leon, looked clearly disappointed when she saw him start meditating immediately after finishing his casual conversation.

Suddenly, Maggie grabbed Iris and pulled her aside.

Iris shook off Machiru's wrist and said coldly:

“Miss Maggie, we are not familiar with each other. You can speak directly if there is anything you need.”

Maggie's lips twitched, speechless.

Why is this woman suddenly so irritating?

Is it because he couldn't get what he wanted in Lyon that he's taking his anger out on me?

“Miss Iris, I just kindly told you my master’s secret, and this is how you treat me?”

Iris: "Who knows if you're lying to me?"

Maggie's heart skipped a beat; she understood Iris's thoughts and chuckled.

"I understand. You think that Leon only glanced at your lips briefly and didn't do anything else, unlike what I said before, that he's crazy about you, so you doubt the truth of what I said?"

She thought to herself, "That gullible Iris has actually been smart for once."

"Yes."

Iris readily admitted it.

“Then you are mistaken, Miss Iris. Although you have known Lyon for much longer than I have, if you ask me, my understanding of the master is far deeper than yours. It is no exaggeration to say that I am Lyon’s expert!”

As Maggie Lu spoke, she put her hands on her hips with an air of arrogance and looked down at Iris, who was a head and a half taller than her.

She can now say the word "master" without any hesitation.

Deep down, she certainly didn't acknowledge Leon as her master, but for some reason, she was very adept at these superficial gestures.

"Lyonton?"

Iris was stunned:

"You've only known Lyon for a couple of days, what makes you say that?"

"Because we have already exchanged soul contracts at a deep level, Miss Iris probably has never experienced the feeling of souls becoming one under the magic of contracts. That kind of joy, that special connection, you can't even imagine how wonderful it is."

Maggie looked at Iris with a wicked grin, her expression extremely arrogant.

As for the special feeling she mentioned, is it true?

Of course, it was a lie to Iris.

It was just a simple soul contract that was signed.

Iris believed it, and she couldn't help but say:

"Then you mean..."

"What I mean is, you noticed that Leon barely glanced at you just now, but in reality, he was trying his best to suppress his emotions! After all, his teammate just suffered a serious injury and is now in the perilous 41st floor. As the commander, how could he possibly show his romantic feelings and cause the team's morale to drop?"

Iris suddenly realized that it made sense; she really shouldn't be preoccupied with romantic feelings at this time.

Maggie's expression shifted to one of disappointment and frustration:

“Miss Iris, I am so disappointed in you. I came here with good intentions to give you guidance, but you said we are not familiar with each other... Well, we are indeed not familiar with each other, but this is not a matter of familiarity, but a matter of etiquette, understand?”

Iris was stunned by the reprimand and couldn't help but ask:

"Then, Miss Machiru... no, Master! What should I do next?"

Maquill knew she was close to achieving her goal, but she couldn't let Iris give up kissing Leon so easily.

You should be more tactful, praising first and then making a transition; that will create a smoother effect.

So she said:

"As for you, it would certainly be good if you could seize the opportunity to get closer to Leon, and it could also comfort his troubled mind and the immense pressure he's under. But my suggestion is actually..."

"I understand, Master Machiru!"

Iris turned and left with a grateful look on her face, not hearing Maggie's next words, "It's best to keep a low profile and minimize contact with Leon."

Chapter 116 Leon's First Experience

Maggie noticed that Iris was moving incredibly fast. She was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly appeared next to Leon in the blink of an eye.

This made Maggie extremely upset. Why did this guy only listen to half of what she said?

But it was too late. Iris had already taken advantage of the moment when everyone was resting and suddenly shot a flying dart at Leon.

With a soft "smack".

Maggie Lu's body stiffened.

Is this guy so efficient?

What was Lyon's reaction?

He opened his eyes.

The corners of his mouth were wet and slightly warm.

When you touch it with your fingers, you feel a slightly sticky substance with a sweet fragrance.

The tongue and gums seemed to retain the lingering sensation of touching something pink.
