You are all my wings!

Lyon took it, unfolded it, and saw that the note read:

"If Your Excellency Lyon sees this letter, please know that I, Kilcha, am merely a small adventurer who was forced into this situation. The guild leader's decision has absolutely nothing to do with me, so please understand. Furthermore, the reason the guild leader decided to leave is not for any other reason than that the Second Princess personally came to this dungeon because of the monster uprising."

interesting.

Lyon tossed the note to Bovary and stroked his chin in thought.

Bovary took a look and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:

"As expected of you, Your Excellency. With this note, we can verify that your previous judgment was entirely correct. You are truly insightful and unfathomable!"

His words of praise and admiration were endless.

The others took the note, their expressions ranging from deep thought, wariness, to tension.

"The Second Princess has personally arrived?"

"Did she really come because of the monster riot? It would be terrible if it was because of the Holy Maiden."

"Not necessarily, they shouldn't be so quick to break off relations."

"Sir, shall we continue to stay in this cave? Should we find another place to rest temporarily, so that Reint doesn't bring more people to cause trouble?"

Chapter 118: You can guess what the consequences will be if you stay with Leon, right?

"No, we can stay here. This place is suitable for hiding from monsters, and the ventilation is not bad. We can continue to rest here."

Lyon shook his head.

"But what if the Second Princess comes to deal with the Holy Maiden? Or what if Reint holds a grudge and deliberately causes trouble?"

Miro was very nervous.

"No, the Vatican knows you've entered this training ground. A saintess can be executed by her own people, but she cannot be killed by outsiders, understand?"

Could one be executed by one's own people?

These words seemed to carry a certain taboo, and the group fell silent for a moment.

"As for Reint, if he dares to come, I dare to kill him here."

Lyon smiled faintly:

"Do you really think he's that powerful, just an ordinary fourth-tier? It's one thing that he chose to completely side with the royal family—his stance is understandable. But to choose to disregard sentiments and gratitude, even at the cost of offending us, means his future is destined to be bleak. As for now, continue to recuperate. It's a good time to eat the monster meat we stockpiled earlier. You guys, thoroughly review the previous battles and strive for a better performance in the next one!"

"Yes."

The group answered in unison.

Iris, who hadn't spoken until now, stepped forward, quietly took Leon's hand, and said:

"Leon, go do some meditation and practice. I'll help you de-stress later."

Lyon was baffled by those words. "Relieve stress?"

Maggie, sitting in the corner, twitched at the corner of her mouth. "Impressive, Iris. She's automatically and consciously replaced 'kiss' with 'stress relief'."

Are you relieving your own stress, or Lyon's stress?

……

the other side.

"Captain, do we really have to offend the Holy Maiden's people so badly? I think they saved us after all, and they've treated us quite well, haven't they?"

John, a novice third-tier spellcaster, couldn't help but say.

They had been away from their previous hiding place for half an hour, narrowly avoiding one wandering fifth-tier monster after another, and were still some distance away from reuniting with the main team.

Although they have two fourth-tier monsters, neither of them are spellcasters. Facing a fifth-tier monster, it will inevitably take a lot of time to fight.

This would undoubtedly be extremely risky.

“John, you’re still young. You’ve already shown extraordinary talent and incredible luck to reach the third rank before you’re even thirty. But you probably haven’t had much contact with others in the first half of your life, have you? When it comes to experience in dealing with people, you’re still too green.”

Rent smiled at John and explained gently:

"Do you know what the biggest reason that prompted me to cut ties with them was?"

John was taken aback: "Isn't it just to avoid offending the Princess?"

"That's certainly one of the reasons, but more importantly, Lyon is someone you shouldn't get too close to."

"why?"

The two women suddenly asked in unison.

John's girlfriend, Sally, has an innocent look on her face.

The fourth-tier female assassin, Hosil, had a lower, slightly hoarse voice, clearly indicating that pronunciation was indeed difficult for her.

The two suddenly interrupted with a question, drawing a puzzled look from John:

"Sally, are you concerned about this?"

"Of course, I think Lord Lyon is quite charming. He's handsome, a strong commander, and calm in battle. Several quasi-paladins listen to him. He doesn't seem like a bad person."

Sally smiled.

The female assassin, Hosil, standing to the side, nodded silently.

John's eyes widened, and Reyn's lips twitched.

"See, John? Now you know what I'm thinking, right? If we stay with Leon any longer, can you guess what will happen?"

John nodded silently.

Sally: "Haha, what are you talking about? I can't understand you."

Rent slowly said:

"Sally, we've been a team for over half a year now. Honestly, what do you think of my character?"

"Hmm, it feels alright, but don't try to seduce me. I have an instinctive dislike for you, so you have no chance, Commander."

Reynard almost coughed up blood. Is this the issue I'm trying to emphasize?

"Don't worry, I've always considered John my own brother, he won't do anything to you."

"I'm relieved to hear that, Commander. To be honest, I was always worried that you might attack me."

Sally said, a naive smile on her face.

Renault's forehead veins nearly burst.

Woman, damn woman!

Why can't women ever see my inner beauty?

He took a deep breath, suppressing the nameless anger rising within him:

"Very well... no, what I'm saying is, since you trust my character, listen to me and stop having anything to do with Lyon! It's best if you don't have any relationship with him at all! It will only hurt you!"

"why?"

The two women asked in unison again.

"Let me put it this way. Last night while we were resting, do you know what I saw? I saw Leon juggling three women all by himself! I won't go into the part about him carrying the saintess the whole way, which everyone saw. After you all rested, he was all lovey-dovey with the elf. And after the elf was done, he beckoned to that little girl and asked her to come and serve him!"

Renette described it vividly, even mimicking Lyon's tone at the time, before concluding:

"Think about it, does someone as obsessed with women really have any real skills? Was the Holy Maiden's injury really just an accident? The four quasi-holy knights obey him, isn't it because he used his looks to get the Holy Maiden to hand over command to him?"

These words caused the group to fall into deep thought.

John couldn't help but admire:

"Brother Rent is indeed very observant. He can find many details that I can't see. Alas, if I hadn't followed Brother Rent, I'm afraid I would have taken many detours in my life."

Sally frowned and thought for a moment:

"But he really fought quite well back then, didn't he? The large-scale fire spell that attacked the vines in the middle looked like at least a top-tier intermediate spell."

"Perhaps it was the saintess's magic that just happened to overlap with his?"

Rent countered with a question.

At this moment, Hoshir whispered:

"Brother... your jealous face is too... too ugly. Now that you've left, stop saying things that hurt others."

Renette is heartbroken, and I'm jealous?

He didn't respond to Hossil, but suddenly grabbed John's shoulder and exclaimed:

“Oh John, do you believe that truth is often in the hands of a minority?”

“I didn’t really believe it before, but now I feel I have to believe it, Brother Rent.”

"Okay, okay, you really understand me."

"So, Brother Rente, now that we've rejoined the main force, should we report the findings of our reconnaissance to the Princess?"

"Of course, absolutely."

"So what would you say?"

"I'll just say one thing: the Holy Maiden was injured by the sacred mural. As for the rest, it's up to the Princess to decide. After all, she's probably here to suppress the demon riots, so she might not have time to deal with the Holy Maiden's matter. But if she's interested, we can make a great contribution!"

"As expected of Brother Rent."

Suddenly, Qiercha, who had been silent all along, spoke up:

"I apologize for interrupting your conversation, but I still have to remind you that a fifth-tier monster has discovered us."

Reint: "??? Qiercha, why didn't you say so sooner?"

"Commander, this isn't a question you'd ask. You're acting very strangely today."

"Hmph! Everyone, prepare for battle!"

Chapter 119 Iris Wants to Try Again

While Reent and his companions encountered monsters.

Lyon took advantage of this opportunity to recuperate and once again engage in deep meditation.

He confidently told the knights that the princess wouldn't come to cause trouble, mainly because he knew that the conflict between Ophimasso and Britta hadn't reached an irreconcilable point.

Those below him believed that the two were bound to have a life-or-death struggle.

But Lyon believes there may be an opportunity to mediate.

So this time, he was prepared to seize the opportunity to replicate the last part of the magical imagery of the Ice Reduction Magic.

The stronger one's power, the greater one's influence in subsequent negotiations.

Unfortunately, we didn't find any trace of the Shadow Scorpion along the way. It must be wandering around this 41st floor. If we're lucky, we can find it later.

He quickly entered into deep meditation.

The ice-cold unicorn and Kraken brain core in his hands emitted a faint glow in the darkness.

Although they use "last night" and "tonight" to refer to time, in reality, it is dark most of the time here.

The darkness of the 41st floor was even greater than the previous floors. If it weren't for the fact that everyone here was a seasoned adventurer with the advantage of their rank and good senses, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it would be pitch black for an ordinary person.

The other knights, except for Milo who was on guard duty, also rolled up their sleeves and didn't even sleep, simply using the knight's breathing technique instead of sleep.

Knight breathing techniques are fundamental skills that can effectively improve control over the rhythm of battle, control over stamina consumption, and deepen the use of combat skills, allowing one unit of strength to achieve the effect of several units of strength.

When facing an enemy with the same physical strength, those who have mastered breathing techniques will be able to endure longer. It is a skill with a very high potential and very wide application.

The time spent in the dungeon this time was only about a week.

However, the overall improvement is much stronger than before.

Bovary, in particular, has shown signs of becoming even stronger than Karl, and often steals Karl's thunder in battle.

Therefore, they were all secretly competing with each other, and during breaks they would eat meat in large quantities, or practice their combat skills, or practice their breathing techniques.
