You are all my wings...

“Since it is Lady Timia who wants to see it, I will of course not refuse, but Marquis Rhine, please ask him to leave.”

Leon almost burst out laughing. No wonder she's Britta.

Chapter 146 Leave here, and don't offend the Holy Maiden again.

Timia's eyebrows twitched when she heard Berylita's refusal.

"Your Holiness, may I ask what the reason is?"

"Because the Marquis of Rhine once spoke disrespectfully to the Holy Maiden, which insulted the divine majesty of Goddess Astalia."

Lyon stepped forward at the opportune moment; these words were only appropriate for him to say.

Timia turned her head and saw a flash of silver enter her field of vision, followed by a handsome and mysterious face that entered her heart.

Can there really be such a man in this world?

The rumors turned out to be true.

"And who is Your Excellency?"

She asked the question knowing the answer already.

"Lion Belron, a court magician, is currently employed as the Saintess's advisor."

Lyon bowed slightly.

"So, is it true that Your Excellency spoke recklessly and disgraced the divine authority? Or have you misunderstood? I remember that Rhine was merely impolite by accident, not recklessly speaking. The two situations are not the same! As an advisor, Your Excellency should know that words cannot be spoken carelessly."

Timia squinted.

"With all those around me as witnesses, and with the goddess Astalia as my witness, I swear that what I say is true."

Lyon responded frankly.

Are you sure?

"determine!"

"Alright, since that's the case—"

Timia stared at Leon's face for five seconds without saying a word.

Then he suddenly turned to the Marquis of Rhine beside him and said:

"Did you hear me, Rhine? Get out of here and don't offend the Saintess again."

Rhine's expression changed. What a mess! Why is this being targeted at me? All I did was say a few ambiguous things.

He moved closer to Timia and asked in a low voice:

"Sister! This is my only chance to see the sacred murals! If the Vatican comes and takes over, I won't be able to see them anymore!"

As is customary, all immovable facilities, sites, and relics discovered and conquered in the dungeon belong to the first owner and are protected by the laws of the Kingdom of Horshah.

Of course, given the regular spawning of monsters, normal people generally wouldn't waste their energy occupying them.

For example, if the area you occupy has low output value, and you have to withstand the constant attacks of monsters while occupying it, the result is naturally that it is costly and has low returns, so no one will do it for a long time.

Furthermore, this law only applies to nobles of the rank of count or above, or members of the papacy of bishop or paladin or above.

People from other countries or low- to middle-class adventurers from their own country who occupy the land are not protected by law.

If lower- to middle-level adventurers want to occupy valuable areas they have discovered or conquered, they can only seek help from nobles or high-ranking members of the Papacy who can serve as their backers, and rely on their power.

This was one of the practical conditions that Lyon would have prioritized when he received Britta's offer.

As a saint, she could naturally declare publicly that this place belonged to the Papacy and had great practical binding force.

Timia smiled at Rhine but didn't say anything.

Rhine felt Timiya's gaze was intense, and fear gripped her, leaving her speechless.

He glared at Leon resentfully, then turned and left.

As for Reint and his group, without Marquis Rhine leading the way, they naturally didn't dare to rashly enter the Saintess's territory alone, and slunk away.

As he left, John couldn't help but nudge Rainer's shoulder:

"Brother Rente, it seems we've gone astray in our lives."

"I'll say it again, I'm not your older brother! And a little bit of going astray doesn't count as going astray!"

"Don't be like that, Brother Rente. I just misunderstood you before. I didn't mean any harm."

"You saying you meant no harm hurts me even more, you bastard!"

Behind the two, Hoshir and Sally exchanged a glance: "These two idiots."

……

After the Marquis of Rhine and his men left.

Timia slowly walked up to Leon:

"I've heard so much about you, Leon Belon."

"I am but a lowly court magician, unworthy of your attention, madam."

Lyon responded modestly, but was somewhat surprised inside.

Could it be that the identity of the Enchanting Fairy Hunter that Kailong promoted for himself has already reached the noblewoman Timia?

"No, you're very famous in my circle."

Timia had a charming smile on her lips, and her eyes seemed to reach out hooks, tightly capturing people's attention.

"Having met her today, I can see that she truly lives up to her reputation. Not only is she stunningly beautiful, but her aura is also so mysterious that she fascinates me."

Isn't it a bit too bold for a married person to say that?

Lyon noticed several very sharp gazes in his peripheral vision, making him feel uneasy.

At that moment, Timia reached out and touched Leon's cheek.

Lyon decisively took three steps back.

"Lady Timia, didn't you want to see the sacred murals?"

At that moment, Berylita walked over with a mysterious smile and met Timia's gaze.

Timia clicked her tongue and covered her mouth with a laugh:

"Since it was the Holy Maiden who invited me, then I will go and observe carefully."

She swayed her hips as she walked toward the sacred mural.

As they passed Lyon, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Lyon.

Lyon was very wary and immediately retreated.

"Oh, so agile for a magician? Amazing. What a pity, I'd like to touch your hand and feel these enchanting fingers."

Timia left with a charming giggle and quickly went to the vicinity of the sacred murals, where she examined them back and forth.

Iris walked to Leon's side, looked solemnly at Timia, and then warned Leon:

"This woman is definitely up to something when she tries to seduce you, Lyon. Be careful, don't fall for this wicked woman's tricks!"

Macchiato also came over:

"Elise, when did you become so good at judging people? I feel the same way."

"Master Macchiato, you truly understand me; you are my most trustworthy partner!"

Eliza nodded repeatedly, deeply moved.

Leon chuckled and patted Elizabeth's head:

"Don't worry, I'm not so easily swayed by such blatant temptation. As for her purpose, we'll find out naturally once we see what she does."

Maqilu glanced at the two of them and snorted:

"Leon, having buried countless playboys, I must also tell you something: do you know what's the easiest way for a man to get himself killed?"

Seeing that Machiru had a displeased look on her face, Leon laughed and said:

"I need you to tell me, Master Macchiato!"

Although he followed Iris's style and addressed her as Master Macchiato, his tone was clearly teasing.

However, it's unclear whether Macchiato didn't understand or what, but all I heard her say was:

"The easiest way for a man to bring about his death is by flirting with bees and butterflies, and then attracting thorny roses and poisonous bees!"

She turned and walked away.

Iris couldn't help but cover her mouth and say, "Master Macchiato seems very angry. It's strange, she's not usually this bad-tempered."

Leon shrugged and said, "Never mind her. Speaking of which, Iris, did you learn something from the sacred mural? You seem different from before."

Iris couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe, I'm so happy! You're the first person to notice the change in me."

“It’s nothing, I’ve been watching you all along, Elise.”

Lyon could utter sweet nothings to Iris without hesitation.

"Then tell me, what changes have occurred in me?"

Iris looked at Lyon, her beautiful emerald-yellow eyes full of anticipation.

Lyon was startled.

Here comes one of the questions women most want to ask men to answer correctly: What makes me look different today?

Chapter 147: Was he actually teased by Iris?

Lyon smiled and said, "Elise, your magic has improved quite a bit."

Play a safe card first.

He could see the information on the panel; in the past few days, Iris's magic power had surged again, increasing by 5 points in one go.

Current total: 104 points.

This shows that she could gain additional benefits from the sacred murals.

Iris nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, what else?"

Her gaze was truly heartbreaking.

"Your hair."

Lyon brushed a strand of Iris's beautiful, light blue hair that had fallen across her forehead, rubbed his index finger and thumb together slightly, and then sniffed it:

"There's a wonderful new fragrance, like a forest in the morning sunlight, with a vibrant and fresh feeling. It seems your physical condition has improved as well?"

Elizabeth stood with her hands on her hips, a look of pride on her face.

"As expected of my captain, he even noticed this. That's right! I have completed the bloodline sublimation!"

Bloodline sublimation is a unique method used by long-lived species.

When breaking through major hurdles such as the fourth, seventh, and ninth stages, a bloodline sublimation can be performed.

This bloodline sublimation does not directly improve attributes, but it can make the body more adaptable to the changes of the new rank, and enable a faster rate of improvement.

With the same attribute consumption, you will also gain more recovery efficiency.

This is a racial gift, something we can't envy. We should thank our ancestors for having such great achievements long ago, becoming strong enough to protect countless descendants.

However, generally speaking, after advancing to the fourth level, it takes at least half a year to complete the bloodline sublimation.

Elizabeth completed it in just a few days, which shows that she must have benefited greatly from the sacred mural.

This is truly a unique and invincible protagonist's halo.

"However, Lyon, have you only noticed these two changes?"

Elizabeth gave a seemingly innocent smile.
