You are all my wings...

Kailong smiled slightly and said:

"Don't worry, my greatest strengths are having a pair of ears that listen attentively and a mouth that never boasts or embellishes."

Schwarton said in a deep voice:

"The chivalrous code I have always upheld is integrity and honor!"

The knight profession has a special buff: once you choose a knightly code you believe in and practice it consistently, your combat power will be enhanced.

Knights who can reach rank four are those with relatively high adherence to the Knight Code.

Incidentally, when you reach a higher level in practicing the Knight's Code, you have a chance to change your class to the rare Paladin class when you advance.

"In that case, I have no further comments."

Elizabeth nodded slowly, her pretty face displaying a serious expression that was quite charming.

Leon turned his head to look and suddenly had an urge to touch her and tease her, but considering that there were other people present, he suppressed the thought.

He began to recount some details of how he captured the enchanting fairy.

The solution is simple; by carefully observing the marks on the blond knight, it can be deduced quickly.

Once Lyon rises to the sixth rank and gains global recognition, this matter will become known to the world.

After this, the Enchanting Fairy will no longer be so unsolvable.

Therefore, what is more important for Lyon is the dual purpose behind this achievement.

……

"I never imagined it would be done this way. It's truly amazing. This could indeed be a double achievement and is something worth celebrating."

Kailong was full of praise.

"Furthermore, you are one of the few exceptional talents with two professions. Why wasn't this mentioned when you joined the company?"

Leon explained the details of how he captured the enchanting fairy, which of course also revealed the fact that he had two professions.

However, Lyon didn't care about that, as long as his three professions weren't exposed.

After all, having two jobs is rare, but it's not unheard of.

There are truly no other professions with three options.

"The group only asked for one job description at the time, but did not ask for a second one."

Lyon chuckled softly in response.

"You little brat, are you afraid we'll persecute you? Don't worry, the leader is also researching multi-profession topics recently. Once you've risen through the ranks, there will be other tasks assigned to you."

Kairon stroked his white beard, his tone becoming somewhat more friendly towards Leon.

"The deputy commander is joking. I was just following the rules."

Lyon shrugged.

Schwarton and his two companions, who had been dismissed by Elizabeth as ignorant, realized the significance behind the matter from Kairon's words and attitude, and their faces showed shame.

Being criticized as ignorant by a seemingly very young girl, and being unable to refute it, is indeed quite embarrassing.

Kailong ignored the expressions on his companions' faces and said thoughtfully:

"Speaking of which, your problem-solving approach is ingenious, and your execution is also quite outstanding. You not only thought of the method of boiling the frog in lukewarm water, but you also firmly carried out this tactic, successfully weakening the Enchanting Fairy. Perhaps, you are quite suited to learning ancient magic."

Lyon's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that there's hope for me to learn rare and ancient magic from Kairon?

"I hope the deputy commander can give me some guidance in the future."

"Of course, we'll talk about it next time when we have the chance."

Will there be another chance?

Isn't this just another way of saying "next time, definitely"?

Lyon frowned slightly.

Kylon himself mentioned ancient magic, and Leon, taking advantage of the situation, didn't realize that Kylon hadn't meant anything specific.

What, trying to trick yourself?

Lyon remained silent, deciding to wait and see.

Seeing that Leon didn't respond, Kalong smiled and said:

"Judging from your expressions, you seem to want to continue exploring? Coincidentally, we've come all the way back from the 35th floor, clearing out as many monsters as possible along the main path. If you need to reach any destination, you should hurry. If you're late and the monsters respawn, it won't be so pleasant."

As he spoke, he yawned.

"We're getting old, so the rest of us will head back to the surface first. You two youngsters, keep up the good work. As for Lyon's achievements, I'll find a familiar bard to spread the word for you, don't worry."

As he spoke, he winked at Leon, revealing a lewd expression that any man would understand.

Elise caught a glimpse of this expression out of the corner of her eye, and a feeling of disgust rose in her heart. This was too much like most men she knew.

On the contrary, Lyon was always so elegant and composed, and never showed such an expression.

A strange thought suddenly arose in her mind: Come to think of it, it's not normal for her and Leon to be exploring the dungeon together without any other teammates, just a lone man and a lone woman.

Why did I insist on becoming his teammate in the first place to confirm whether he was lying to me?

Why was I so bold back then to venture into the dungeon with someone I'd only met a few times and who even suspected my motives?

Moreover, this was the first time he had explored the dungeon with anyone other than his mother!

Am I the one with the problem?

She couldn't figure it out for a while, so she forced herself to keep telling herself, "Forget it, don't overthink it. I'll keep looking for opportunities to test him. It hasn't been long yet, and I can't tell whether Leon is trustworthy or not."

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Actions Are Also Cute

Thor, the blond knight who survived being possessed by the Enchanting Fairy, was taken away by several members of the knightly order.

Iris and Leon continued toward the 25th floor. Along the way, Iris observed Leon much more frequently than she realized. She was unconsciously watching Leon for far too long, which was very dangerous in the dungeon.

Fortunately, thanks to the help of Kailong and his group who had cleared the way beforehand, the two encountered far fewer obstacles this time.

According to the pattern, after the monsters are eliminated, they will be reborn in the dungeon at different time points, such as 24 hours, 3 days, and 7 days, depending on their strength.

The stronger the monster, the longer it takes to regenerate.

The principle behind it is unclear, but this is the phenomenon.

In other words, the two of them will have a very high chance of not encountering any powerful monsters within 24 hours.

Of course, it's only a high probability.

Because there may be some monsters that are active in the side areas, and since the threat of monsters on the main road is gone, they wander onto the main road.

These are all possibilities, and the fact is that their journey ahead was almost entirely smooth.

Ten hours passed in the blink of an eye, and the two of them descended to the 24th floor.

It's only one floor away from the target 25th floor.

During this time, the two encountered only second-tier weak monsters, with a few first-tier ones that were basically not worth mentioning.

All things considered, the total earnings are estimated to be no more than 20 gold coins.

Although this amount is a huge sum of money for ordinary people.

But for the extraordinary, this money is only enough for the maintenance of the equipment.

Compared to the previous rewards from fighting Minotaur and Red Spider, it's like night and day.

This is the norm in dungeon exploration; if the main path is cleared by skilled players, the intermediate rewards will definitely plummet.

However, if the target is a deeper area, this can save time and is also safer.

All things considered, each has its advantages and disadvantages.

However, some special items were collected along the way.

These items are either full of magic or have special properties, but because they are not popular, they generally have few buyers.

Until a suitable use is found, it can only be temporarily stored away.

For example, the color-changing slime gel that Leon obtained earlier, and the salamander tongue pouch he encountered on the 23rd floor.

This tongue pouch is the organ in which the fire salamander stores fire elemental magic, and it is rich in fire-attribute magic.

However, this part has a rather violent fire attribute, and no craftsman has yet been able to forge it into magical equipment, so it doesn't fetch a high price.

Leon collects this thing mainly because it's suitable for creating magical items that were only invented in the third part of the series, and he plans to try it out sometime in the future.

Incidentally, after several battles, Leon's Tier 1 magic robe has lost a lot of durability, and he will probably have to change into a new one after leaving the dungeon.

Iris's leather armor is of excellent quality, a top-tier Tier 3 item, and its durability hasn't dropped much.

However, her frequent use of the magic wand has also depleted its durability, and it will probably need to be repaired.

From the moment they set out until now, the two of them have been in the dungeon for nearly 26 hours.

During this period, after each match, the two would choose a place to rest and eat Minotaur dried beef to replenish their energy.

Thanks to the large quantity, the two of them ate a lot throughout the day, and still had half of their supplies left.

After eating so much Minotaur jerky, his stamina didn't increase anymore, which made Leon basically certain that the reason for his previous increase in stamina was most likely the red spider eggs.

Next time I have the chance, I can go hunting red-skinned eggs to really boost my stamina.

According to the outside time, it should already be the afternoon of the next day.

Thanks to their professional bonuses, ample rest, and the constant replenishment from eating Minotaur meat jerky, both of them are still in pretty good shape.

However, considering that entering the 25th floor would require entering a side area, which would be slightly more difficult, Lyon suggested resting before entering the 25th floor.

“Elise, how about we take turns sleeping for a while before we get to the 25th floor? Let’s pretend it’s nighttime right now.”

"Aren't we going to reach our destination before the new monsters are born?" Iris looked at Leon suspiciously. Wasn't he in a hurry before? He still seemed quite energetic. Why did he suddenly stop? Was he finally going to slip up and reveal his true purpose?

"My destination is the side area on the 25th floor, not the main path. There's a high chance of encountering powerful second or even third-tier monsters there, so it's best to rest up before going."

As Lyon spoke, he began to clean the ground and arrange resting items.

Simple sleeping bag, campfire, and animal scare incense.

"I see. Since the target is a side quest area, there's no need to rush. By the way, what exactly is your target upgrade item?"

Seeing this, Iris pretended to believe Leon and began to talk to him, testing him as she went. After a while, she suddenly heard Leon continue:

"This is information I obtained from an adventurer. It is said that in the side area on the 25th floor, there is a place with a very high abundance of the four elemental magics. I suspect that there are some special magical items there."

"A place where all four elemental magics are abundant?"

Elizabeth's beautiful emerald yellow pupils shifted upwards, and she couldn't help but recall some past events:

"Speaking of which, I once heard my mother say that my father also died in an accident on the 25th floor of an underground city. Unfortunately, I don't know which underground city it was."

Lyon's heart skipped a beat; it seemed that Iris knew about her father's death.

According to the plot, Hamra's downfall was largely due to the loss of her beloved.

However, Hamra has never appeared in the main storyline, and all Leon knows about her is the footage he has seen before and the information that netizens have deduced from various clues.

To complete this "Fallen Dark Elf" side quest, some more detailed information is still missing.

“Elise, if I may ask, do you know what your father went through back then?”

"All I know is that he went to explore the dungeon to prepare a birth gift for me, but ended up being followed by enemies..."

Elizabeth's voice was calm:

"I've never heard my mother say anything more detailed."

"But you traveled on the mainland back then because your mother was investigating this enemy, right?"

"Yes, but unfortunately, we didn't find any clues."

As Iris said this, a very subtle hint of disappointment crept into her voice.

Even Iris herself was unaware of the subtle emotions she was experiencing at that moment.
