You are all my wings...

"We'll pull one person in if we can. Our goal is to minimize damage. I don't want my fiancée to bear the pressure of the legend alone, or for any accident to happen."

Although Leon was surprised that Britta's magical skills had become so focused and controlled, he knew that now was not the time to ask that question, and responded in kind with a focused magical voice.

Magic is difficult to control outside the body, which is why it evolved into two major class systems: spellcasters and warriors.

The spellcaster uses magic to respond to the laws of physics, first condensing the magic into a form, and then releasing it outward.

Warriors use magic to enhance their physical bodies and transform them into combat techniques.

Therefore, concentrating magic on sounds is a highly difficult skill, and Leon can only do it easily in Miracle Mode.

When he responded in this way, Britta immediately looked at him with surprise, clearly not expecting Leon to do the same.

Adding to that Leon's words, "I don't want you to bear the legend alone," she felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She only rolled her eyes at Leon, who dared to stir up her newly recovered mood in a place like the Vatican, and wasn't afraid of being caught in a trap by Tumoria next to her.

After all, Leon's attempt to seduce the saintess at the Vatican, whether successful or not, would put him in a very precarious situation if discovered.

For some reason, this forbidden feeling did not touch any sacred constraints, and instead brought her a strange sweetness and joy.

Therefore, Britta forgot to continue trying to persuade Leon.

Meanwhile, Lyon had already said to Tumoria:

"Your Excellency Tumoria, your wish is nothing more than to become a legend, to become an epic, isn't it?"

These words were so blunt that Tumoria frowned immediately:

"This should be the goal of all extraordinary individuals; there's no need to ask."

"Yes, but it's different if it's you."

Lyon smiled slightly and said:

"The title of Saintess is very important. She is not only a supreme and radiant figure in the hearts of countless people in the Holy See, like the bright moon in the sky, but also embodies the hopes and dreams of countless believers. You are the manifestation of the will of God in the world, representing the truth, purity, beauty, and goodness of humanity, the collection of all that is beautiful and pure, but there is one thing that you cannot choose for yourself."

Tu Moli continued to frown. Why was this guy spouting such a cryptic nonsense?

He understood what she meant, but did she have a choice?

In her view, truth, purity, beauty, and goodness were merely ways to better align with the sacred energy bestowed by the gods.

Despite her seemingly unrestrained and talkative nature, Tu Moliya is actually a utilitarian.

She doesn't think being pragmatic is bad; she just wants to achieve her ideals through the most effective means.

"It seems that Your Excellency Tumoria does not understand yet. If you go to the headquarters of the Holy Blood School, you will have a real chance to choose."

Lyon's voice began to carry a seductive undertone:

"Why did the Blood Society, once a prestigious branch within the Vatican, insist on engaging in such bloody research? What did they discover during their long research that necessitated using such forbidden methods to attempt to transcend the boundaries of life and immortality?"

Tumoria was not easily swayed by Leon's charms, and chuckled:

"That's all? A bunch of lunatics. I've met people like that before. Besides, what difference does it make if a bunch of lunatics produce research? What, are you trying to corrupt me?"

Berylita also gave Leon a strange look. Why did he suddenly bring up this topic with Tumoria?

It also seems to subtly suggest that the Bloodline School harbors a true method for breaking through to a higher level outside the Papacy's path.

It must be said that the seductive meaning is indeed very strong.

Lyon stared at Tumoria, a smirk playing on his lips:

"Studying knowledge is not depravity; it is conducting bloody experiments for the sake of knowledge that is depravity. Moreover, in the end, you have no chance of inheriting the position of acting pope. If you want to continue to advance, you'd better make plans as soon as possible, lest in a few years, Lady Burelita ascends to legend and her position becomes stable, then you will not even have the title of saintess, and all the paladins who followed your name will leave you."

In the original storyline, after Berylita's sacrifice and the disappearance of the First Saint, it was confirmed that Tumoria would succeed as Pope, which occurred at the end of the third part.

However, by then the Papacy's influence had greatly diminished. Even though she succeeded to the throne, she only managed to rise through the ranks by utilizing the Papacy's reserves, repairing the dilapidated ship as it gradually headed towards destruction.

At this moment, Lyon's overly direct and sharp words were no longer just enough to make Tu Moli frown.

Her eyes turned cold.

I just thought that although this person was a bit naive and lacked shrewdness, he still had a lot of charm.

But now it seems I misjudged him.

This is just a young man who accidentally gained Brierita's favor and became incredibly arrogant, possessing only a pretty face.

"How dare you! Do you think I wouldn't dare punish your disrespect just because Britta is here?"

Tu Moli's voice deepened.

The four were currently in a long corridor leading from the Vatican to the living quarters. The corridor was constructed of large, neatly cut stones, and the sound echoed outwards.

A figure was peering in this direction from in front of the residential area.

Britta also found it strange; Leon rarely mocked someone so directly.

Now, the one being mocked is Tu Moliya, a powerful sixth-tier, second-ranked saintess.

What was his thought process behind doing this?

She remembered that the last time Leon mocked Mark, Mark had argued with him about command issues.

However, in retrospect, although the argument caused Mark to lose focus for a few days, it also proved in countless subsequent instances how unreasonable Mark was in that argument, and he gradually became more convinced of Leon's authority.

So Leon did deliberately provoke Tumoria just now?

Of course, it cannot be denied that Britta also felt somewhat resentful.

Because Tumoria was so annoying, her seemingly unrestrained demeanor actually kept her constantly probing the secrets of each saintess, making her wary.

Limited by her status, she naturally couldn't rebuke Tumoria, and could only respond with indifference.

Could it be that Leon, after only overhearing a few words, figured out that Tumoria had designs on him and was trying to win her over?

Wasn't he afraid of offending the powerful Second Saintess for his own sake?

This guy, this guy, how can he always be so thoughtful?

Sigh, I wish I hadn't chosen to change jobs back then.

While Britta was momentarily filled with sweetness, a mix of melancholy and longing also lingered in her heart.

[Rita's affection level increased by 2%, current affection level is 89%]

At this moment, Leon continued to sneer:

"Your Excellency Tumoria, do you think I'm disrespectful just because I spoke a few truths? Your magnanimity doesn't seem as grand as you pretend, nor does it match the tranquility and kindness you project to the outside world. I ask you, do you really think that by simply going through the motions of performing miracles in the Holy See, you can bypass Her Excellency Burelita and inherit the throne, thus fulfilling your long-cherished wish?"

Tu Moli's face was icy cold, as if covered in frost.

Chapter 341 A Strange Interference Fraud

Tumoria was so angry that she was already thinking of punishing Leon, and the magic power in her palm seemed to be gathering uncontrollably.

"Your Excellency Tumoria, don't rush to punish me. Think about it carefully. Don't all the people around you tell you that it will definitely work and that it's definitely possible?"

Leon stood beside Tumoria, making no attempt to hide, and instead continued to speak.

"Am I the first person to tell you the truth? Don't you also think what I said makes sense, so even though you're angry, you're not furious?"

Berylita was also prepared to intercept them.

Tumoria's profession is the only warrior-type Holy Swordsman among the Nine Saints. She has accumulated enough experience and, with the protection of a third-tier deity (outshining Britta), her agility and strength have reached more than double, and her stamina is close to triple.

Although Birelita possessed divine authority, she had no need to use it against Tumoria, who was also a saint, and therefore dared not be careless.

She felt that since Leon was going to be her mouth double, she should also prevent Leon from being injured by Tumoria in her rage.

Seeing that Burelita was subtly blocking her way, Tumoria wanted to make a move, but she hesitated. If things got out of hand and it reached the Great Saintess, it wouldn't look good either way.

Meanwhile, Leon was still calmly saying:

"When someone has been in a high position for a long time, they will inevitably be blinded by their subordinates. You clearly have such a strong desire for promotion, yet you only promote trivial miracles among the people. Do you really think your reputation among the people is greater than that of Lady Burelita, who cleaned up the northern monster forest? What truly makes people remember you is not your performance, but the real things you do, your true achievements, isn't that right?"

What puzzled Brulee was that Tumoria clearly looked like she was about to fly into a rage and start a fight at any moment.

But he remained there, listening to Leon's words with a cold expression.

why?

Doesn't she seem to dislike what Leon said?

How could they actually tolerate it?

Or did Leon really speak to her heart?

What Brierita didn't know was that Leon's words, based on his knowledge of her past life, certainly played a role.

However, his newly acquired core skill as a fraudster, interfering with the trust aura, is also quite helpful.

The self-buff and external betting effects of the Interference Trust Aura remain effective after upgrading. The newly added interference effect mainly allows for the deception of matter.

After Lyon leveled up, he took some time to test it out and had roughly figured out how to use it.

For example, if you deceive a stone by saying you are a feather, then you will become very light.

Conversely, if you deceive someone who is like a stone, they will become very heavy.

Intervening in fraud does not require consuming magic power; it only requires consuming mental energy.

Currently, the scope and scale of his fraud are limited to items the size of a small sandbag and weighing around 5 kilograms.

And the deception can't be too contrary to the laws of physics. For example, he can't deceive people into thinking a rock is an atomic bomb yet, that's too outrageous. But he can deceive people into thinking it's a firecracker or fireworks. The more familiar he is with the structure, the easier it is to succeed in deception.

At the same time, if a stone containing explosive substances is used to make gunpowder, it will save mental energy compared to other stones, and the explosive effect will also be good.

And don't underestimate 5 kilograms; in fact, by slightly expanding the range of uses, it can have many amazing effects.

Of course, interference with fraud has a limited lifespan and will become ineffective after a certain period of time.

The specific timeframe depends mainly on the various factors mentioned above, such as structure, similarity, size of matter, and mental energy consumption.

The object that can be deceived must be within a five-meter radius and not covered by magic.

Of course, items covered in magic can also be used to deceive, but the higher the grade of the material, the more mental energy is required.

While speaking, Leon not only maintained his self-buff of trust, but also subtly interfered with and deceived Tumoria's socks, making them appear as cool, slippery tentacles, and also made Tumoria's undergarments appear as burr-like, cool underwear with touch plates.

By using interference and deception, he simultaneously teased Tuja's sensitive areas on the soles of her feet and various parts of her body, causing her to experience strange reactions and thus having to spend more time and energy to suppress this physiological instinct.

After all, for a saintess who must strictly adhere to the precepts between men and women to maintain her purity, the more she suppresses herself, the more intense the reaction will be once those sensitive parts of her body are touched.

Just like a flood control dam, the higher it is pressed down, the more violent the impact will be when it breaks.

So in Berelita's eyes, although Tumoria's expression was as cold as iron, as if she was holding something back, she never made any further moves.

Because Tumoria no longer had the energy to be angry.

That cold expression was just a facade, a facade she was trying hard to maintain in case she couldn't keep up.

Of course, Leon knew when to stop; he couldn't go too far, or it would arouse her suspicion.

You need to make her feel that what she just experienced was just an illusion, and that she felt that pleasure because you have a 'm' element in your personality.

Therefore, Lyon continued:

"Your Excellency Tumoria, think about it again. Besides feeling that I am bold and disrespectful, did you also instinctively have a sudden realization when I reminded you that the flattery and sycophancy of those around you had indeed made you lose yourself and forget the goals you should have held onto?"

Tu Moliya slowly frowned.

"Sometimes people deceive themselves, but there are some things that you can't really deceive yourself about."

Leon stared intently at Tumoria, while simultaneously intervening in the deception with greater precision, causing her body to perceive even more subtle changes.

For example, temperature changes and the subtle friction caused by body movements enhance the detail of socks and undershirts.

He didn't explicitly say to trust your body's instincts, because he knew that would make Tumoria suspect that he or Brierita were doing something to her.

If he explicitly says, "You have to trust your body's instincts," it will definitely make her more suspicious.

What does it mean that some things can't be fooled?

Tu Moliya, her face cold, slowly opened her mouth.

"You have to ask yourself that. When you encounter a problem, the first thing you think about is the thing that you can't fool yourself the most."

Tu Moliya fell into deep thought.

As Leon spoke, he gradually reduced the interference of the deceptive items, preventing Tumoria from pondering the source of this strange bodily sensation while she was lost in thought.
