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

Lynn then walked over slowly, looking at the 'Illusion' who had walked right into the trap with amusement.

At this critical juncture, Lilia hesitated and said:

"Guests, isn't the compensation amount a bit too much for five people?"

Lynn paused for a moment, then frowned and asked:

"What do you mean?"

"I mean...this will cost extra!"

Lilia raised her right hand and rubbed her index finger and thumb together, giving a gesture that is used all over the world.

Lynn remained silent upon seeing this.

Is this... a matter of paying extra?

"Enough of this pointless charade, Illusion."

Seria stood up, grabbed the staff lying beside her, and said coldly:

"Although I don't know why you came here on your own initiative, judging from your mental wavelength, you are now in your true form, right?"

"Sending your separated, almost combat-incapable main body here, even though I don't know what scheme you're plotting, as long as I kill you here, your remaining masks will be no threat."

Seeing Seria raise her staff and point it at her, Lilia blinked and said:

"Is it possible... that my true form came here to show sincerity?"

"Show me sincerity?" Celia scoffed. "Do you think I'd believe that?"

"Elves...are they really that narcissistic?" Lilia gave Seria a strange look, then pointed at Lynn and said, "I was clearly showing Lynn my sincerity!"

"To me?" Lynn looked at the two of them in astonishment. What was the point of showing him sincerity?

"Of course it's for you!" Lilia spread her hands, looking completely innocent. "A young, beautiful, cute, and sexy girl coming to the room of a young, energetic guy in the middle of the night—what she's up to is pretty obvious, isn't it?"

Lynn's face twitched slightly upon hearing this, and he said:

"I'm not interested in slutty girls."

Lilia narrowed her eyes, a sly glint in her gaze:

"What if she's clean, unused, and only flirts with you?"

Lynn was stumped by the question.

Disguised as a bus, but actually a brand new luxury car... This is indeed quite perplexing.

"I am a man who needs security."

"I can draw up a contract, and you can set the terms."

Lilia suddenly stepped forward, getting closer to Lynn, and glanced at Sia, who was lying motionless on the bed:

"Perfect timing, the Mona family, who are best at notarization, are here too."

"Make her sign a mandatory contract, then you can use that contract as a collar and put it here..."

Lilia pointed to her smooth neck, her eyes brimming with desire:

"If we use this method, will it make you feel... safe with me?"

Lynn's eyelids twitched as he listened to Lilia's deliberately drawn-out, suggestive remarks:

"I can't understand why you would suddenly want to go to this extent."

Lynn didn't ask Lilia this question; he didn't expect this guy who offered himself up to her to tell the truth.

Besides, even if Lilia said it, he wouldn't believe it!

He asked this question to Sia and Seria, two experienced adventurers with broad knowledge.

Upon hearing Lynn's question, Celia frowned, deep in thought.

Sia, on the other hand, seemed unfazed by this situation and even offered a reminder to Seria, who was deep in thought:

"Just a friendly reminder, even in my opinion, Lynn's dragon blood purity is above average."

Upon hearing the keyword, Seria paused for a moment, then a look of realization dawned on her face:

"Your goal is Lynn's 'growth potential,' isn't it?"

Lilia paused for a moment upon hearing this, then glanced at Lynn, whose posture betrayed a hint of wariness, before licking her lips and saying:

“At times like these, a learned elf is truly reliable.”

Chapter 83 A Question for You: Would You Be My Dog? (Fourth Update)

"Growth potential..." Lynn turned to look at Seria.

That questioning look pleased Celia, who had been a teacher.

"According to some information I have, although the 'illusion face' of the Illusionary Clan has various ways of being cultivated, it generally follows a 'fundamental formula'."

Seria glanced at Lilia as she spoke, and said seriously:

"That is the 'authenticity of the mask'!"

At this point, Celia, as if possessed by a teacher, launched into a scientific explanation:

"The Illusion Mask racial skill is essentially a special kind of illusion."

"And the most important element in constructing all illusions is realism."

"The foundation of illusion lies in understanding the details of real things."

"This is why most of the masks that Phantom has combat power are replicas of herself."

Seria narrowed her eyes and said with a serious expression:

"Because what Huanmei understands best is herself, whom she can see and touch at any time."

"Therefore, the battle masks created by Illusion Mask are often templates of herself."

"But that doesn't mean they can't make other people's masks."

Lynn understood by now, and his gaze locked onto Lilia:

"You want to make my mask?"

Upon hearing this, Lilia said with a grin, "Is it not allowed?"

"I provide the body, you provide the labor—isn't that the usual practice in Knightworth?"

As Lilia finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and tilted her head to say:

"Oh? I almost forgot, you were taken in by the Knightworth family later, you're not a pureblood."

Looking at Lilia, who was deliberately reminding Lynn that she wasn't entirely one of Knightworth's own, Shia raised an eyebrow slightly and said:

"I have a feeling that I've been provoked."

"She actually tried to seduce our little one with her beauty... Does she not respect us seniors at all?"

Upon hearing this, Lilia glanced at Sia, then narrowed her eyes and said with a playful smile:

“You female dragons only know how to use sweet talk to fool children, unlike us succubi, who are always practical.”

"Oh? That's interesting."

Seeing that Lilia had actually provoked her, Shia propped herself up on her elbows, sat up in bed, and said with a smile:

"How dare a mere insect bare its teeth at me?"

Lilia then said with a grin, "I only came in my main body, not all of the Masks."

"What if I were wearing a mask right next to the High Priestess and reporting to her that I had discovered a great secret of the Mona family, and then I died on the spot?"

"Do you think the Grand Secretary might be even slightly interested in you?"

Although Xia's smile remained unchanged upon hearing this, her eyes held a much more dangerous glint.

“The Mona family is not a family that will accept threats.”

Lilia's smile was strange at this moment:

“This is between Lynn and me. You've come out to cause trouble without my permission, so I have no choice but to play along.”

Seeing this, Lynn, who was standing to the side, crossed her arms with a subtle expression:

"You two just started arguing like that?"

Upon hearing Lynn's voice, Lilia immediately turned around, revealing a sweet smile:

"Ugh, there's this fallen angel who's so annoying~"

Seeing that sudden change in expression, Lynn felt a sense of bewilderment.

Just a few hours ago, this guy in front of me was the one who orchestrated Jeken's acquisition of the Dragon Blood, coveted Fiona's identity, and wanted to capture him alive—his greatest enemy, the Gospel Society's executive 'Illusion Mask'.

However, Lilia's attitude now gives the impression that she would immediately assume a posture of being hit if Lynn were to pat her on the butt.

This style change is too drastic!

"Is my mask valuable?" Lynn couldn't help but ask Seria, who was standing beside him.

"Yes, even higher than you think."

Seria nodded and explained to Lynn:

"The Mask's strength is not static."

"She will improve as the strength of the person she knows increases. In addition, if the strength of the chosen person increases, Phantom will also receive some growth potential from it, thereby enhancing her own attributes."

"Therefore, Phantom has a great fondness for targeting talented adventurers, using their growth to help herself become stronger."

"And because some geniuses value honor, Phantom will make some sacrifices in order to attach herself to them."

"That's why they are called the purest succubi."

"because...."

Lilia then chimed in with a chuckle, winking at Lynn as she said:

"What's the difference between ruining your body before finding someone you like and those promiscuous human noblewomen?"

"This is a grave taboo within the clan!"

"You know, when I was a child, the elders in my clan repeatedly told us that we must never give ourselves away like noblewomen of the human race."

Looking at Lilia's proud expression, a question suddenly popped into Lynn's mind.

Just how promiscuous is this human noblewoman?

Why does it seem like the public opinion surrounding this group, from Old Kohler to succubi like Phantom, is overwhelmingly negative?

However, while Lynn was curious about the human noblewoman, he was more concerned about Lilia's situation.

"So, she actually doesn't have any hostility towards me now?"

If lust is considered hostility, then Lynn has nothing to say.

He was hostile to all the women present.

“…”

Seria remained silent upon hearing this.

Why aren't you saying anything?

At this moment, Seria glanced at Lynn, her sky-blue eyes filled with a hint of apology:

"My goal is to eliminate the threat she poses to Fiona."

"So for me, whether it's killing her or Lynn reaching an agreement with her, as long as it ensures that Fiona's situation is not leaked, I can accept it."

Therefore, I am not qualified to answer your question.

"After all, given the circumstances, getting her to sign the contract voluntarily and attach her future to you is the safest strategy to eliminate the threat."

After speaking, Seria paused and added:

"After all, I can't guarantee that she's not wearing a mask and isn't actually working for the Archbishop of the Evangelical Fellowship."
