Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

"Hmph, after all, in the eyes of those scum, someone like me is only of this value."

Lynn gave Fiona a strange look upon hearing this:

Are you that self-aware?

"Shut up!" Fiona glared at Lynn. "Whose side are you on anyway?"

"Stand on the side of the bystanders." Lynn breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fiona could still curse.

If the person still looks energetic and hasn't been affected by the illusion's words, then things will be much easier to handle!

Lilia looked troubled. "Am I really that untrustworthy?"

At this point, Lynn kindly reminded him, "You forgot to mention your purpose and the benefits you want."

"But judging from your expression, you probably won't say anything."

Upon hearing this, Lilia gave Lynn a strange look, then licked her lips and said:

"That's true~"

"Always hiding the consequences, it's really hard to trust this stubborn little lion."

"In that case, they'll have to find another way."

"Are you going to capture me to threaten Fiona?" Lynn calmly pointed to himself and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I can run pretty fast!"

Lilia glanced at Lynn in surprise: "You're already planning to run away before you've even made a move?"

Lynn said as he backed away, "What else can we do?"

"As a novice adventurer with no combat power, getting involved in your and Fiona's battle would only be a hindrance."

"In that case, is it so hard to understand why I would run out and call for help?"

As Lynn was speaking, he had already pushed the stairs to the corner.

Seeing this, Lilia raised her head, as if she wanted to do something.

However, before that, Fiona had already tacitly positioned herself between Lynn and Lilia's line of sight.

At this moment, the crescent moon stigmata between Fiona's brows began to flicker:

"Why don't you try to make a move on him right under my nose?"

"Or... how about you take a gamble and see if I'll take the opportunity to ambush you while you're attacking him?"

Lilia smiled upon hearing this: "So it's this kind of betting game?"

“Interesting~” Lilia narrowed her eyes, concealing the bright heart deep in her pupils: “Then I’ll have to give it a try.”

next moment,

Lilia transformed into a series of afterimages and charged towards Lynn.

Having anticipated the attack, Lynn immediately slipped away and jumped down the steps.

At that moment, a violent tremor came from the steps behind Lynn, as if some elephants were colliding in the stairwell.

Seeing this, Lynn glanced back at the dusty stairwell and clicked his tongue, saying:

"Although I had guessed that my attributes might not be enough to deal with Hero-level enemies, I didn't expect it to be really insufficient!"

After grumbling, Lynn decisively turned and left.

He rushed down the stairs to the Magic Mirror Corridor, went straight to Old Ody's collection room, and pressed the magic mirror on it.

With a "beep!" sound.

The notification sound of the failed verification of the Holy Mark came from the Magic Mirror.

Lynn was taken aback when she saw this.

Because the verification of the Stigmata showed that the storage room was empty, Lynn was told not to trespass.

"Old Oddi isn't here?"

Where did he go?

Lynn paused for a moment, turned his head and looked around, and then saw another set of stairs leading to the upper level.

"Damn, could it be that the old man rushed up from another passage to find me?"

Realizing this, Lynn immediately prepared to run back.

Since he can't find Old Ody to team up with, teaming up with Fiona is just as good.

With his current attributes, he couldn't defeat a hero-level adventurer in a head-on fight, but Lynn didn't believe he couldn't even interfere.

Of course, Lynn had to do one thing first before that.

That means using free skill points to upgrade the 'Dragon of Knowledge' skill.

Although this would mean missing out on a level 10 fusion skill opportunity, Lynn couldn't care less about that now.

'System, open my panel and allocate all my skill points to the Dragon of Knowledge.'

Just as Lynn was mentally preparing to give the order, a familiar voice rang out:

"Lynn, what are you doing here? Where is Fiona?"

Lynn was taken aback.

The person who arrived was none other than Seria.

She looked like she was rushing over; sweat was dripping from her forehead as she ran down the stairs, her white skirt hem dusted with dust from her hurried pace.

At that moment, Lynn said instinctively:

Why are you here?

“Never mind how I got here.” Celia strode down the steps, saying as she went, “I’ve just confirmed something: the Phantom’s real target is Fiona!”

Where is Fiona now? Isn't she with you?

Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately pointed to another passage:

"She was dragging a phantom mask through another passage."

Upon hearing this, Seria's expression immediately changed.

Chapter 76 How could you be so easily fooled? (Fifth Update)

"She went to stall Huanmian?"

Seria's face turned ugly:

"Oh no, Fiona's straightforward personality isn't good at dealing with enemies like Illusion."

"I have to go and support her."

As she spoke, Seria pulled a skill stone from her pocket and tossed it towards Lynn:

"Here are the skill stones I promised to prepare for you. Use them while you can, I'm off to support Fiona!"

"After you use the skill stone, hurry up and notify the guild members to call the military police!"

Upon seeing the skill stone that had been thrown at him, Lynn's remaining wariness vanished instantly.

He immediately reached out and caught the skill stone, then affixed it to the stigmata:

"I know what to do."

"Also, thanks, Seria!!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

The notification sound from the Sacred Mark System rang in Lynn's mind.

[Learned the skill 'Luminous Dragon Lv1'.]

At the same time, the skill system also joined in the fun.

[The newly added skill conflicts with 'Learned Dragon'. Should we consume 20 skill points to balance the bloodline?]

Lynn was stunned when he saw the two system notification sounds that suddenly popped up.

Just then, 'Seria,' who was in a hurry to leave, suddenly stopped, turned her face to the side, and looked at Lynn with a 'strange' smile:

"Oh dear~~"

"How could you be so easily fooled, young man?"

"You actually believed me right away!"

Lynn's expression froze instantly.

He looked at the 'Seria' in front of him, watching her face gradually transform into the likeness of 'Lilia', and then a slight twitch appeared on his lips:

"You really are a persistent ghost, Phantom Mask!"

"Just call me 'Lilia'."

Lilia, holding a staff just like Seria's, said with a smile:

"But you, young man, are a really strange child."

"Having received that level of dragon blood, you don't even have the slightest rejection reaction!"

Lilia lowered her eyes as she spoke, looking at Lynn with a half-smile:

"This is not something an ordinary person can do."

Upon hearing Lilia's sinister voice, Lynn expressionlessly refined all his free attribute points and skill points in an instant!

-----------------

At the same time, in Rock Town, inside the Alchemy Workshop.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The pure white sphere of light emitted rays of light, like lasers, which shot towards the petite figure in front of her.

Faced with that energy ray that had no attributes but was incredibly fast, as if it had sacrificed everything for attack speed.

Lilia quickly dispersed her form, transforming herself into wisps of black mist.

Puff puff puff!

The pure white rays pierced through the black mist, leaving behind holes the size of fists.

At this moment, Lilia, who had barely dodged the ray that was aimed directly at her vitals, reassembled herself, then raised her head and looked down at the silver-haired elf in mid-air, who was looking down at her with her chin held high. She met those cold and ruthless sky-blue eyes.

"You are weaker than I imagined."

High above, the elven princess, who had maintained a powerful dominance over Lilia throughout, issued a chilling assertion:

"It's because the 'Illusion Mask' was separated."

Lilia's expression froze upon hearing this. Finally, she raised her hand and said:

"Really!"

"Can you elves who love studying people really be this annoying?"

"They even know so much about the Phantom Clan's racial skill, 'Illusion Mask'..."

"We are an endangered species!!"

"Elves are a race that remembers history."

Seria remained expressionless, looking down at Lilia from her elevated position.

"We will record the history of every race in this world."

"This is the master of history, the expectation of the goddess of nature when she created the spirits."

Upon hearing this, Lilia scratched her cheek, glancing at the twelve magical orbs surrounding her that were clearly gathering power.

"Honestly, I never expected to be given a history lesson at a time like this."

"Of course, compared to going to class, the worst thing is still..."

Lilia then lowered her hands and looked solemnly at Seria in front of her:
