Chapter 367 Iris: Yes, so I've already accepted the proposal.

As soon as Bai Shaqilai finished speaking, an invisible chessboard solidified in the void and crashed down on Lyon and his companion.

Oh no!

The pressure they experienced while flying was significantly lower than when they were standing. The moment they were pressed down by the chessboard, they immediately plummeted straight down as if out of control.

Leon quickly hugged Iris and whispered in her ear:

"Dispel the flight magic and accelerate our descent."

Although Elizabeth did not understand what he meant, she still quickly did as he said.

Immediately afterward, two compressed hurricane bullets condensed beneath Lyon's feet, spewing out abundant heat.

Once Leon has mastered magic to perfection, he can gather magical power in any part of his body and directly unleash the spell.

call out!!!!!

The two, who were already falling at a rapid pace, increased their speed even further, and were about to crash to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Thirty meters before landing, Leon suddenly sidestepped and fired compressed hurricane bullets, his body arcing through the air before skimming the ground and flying out of the terrifying two-hundred-meter-long chessboard area, disappearing into the distance.

Seeing this, Bai Shaqilai's expression changed slightly: "You actually thought of using the downward acceleration to exempt me from the heavy pressure on the chessboard? Interesting."

Having only used it once before, Leon was able to grasp the essence of her move and counter it, which shows his remarkable skill.

"However, when it comes to legends, no matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, you can't outsmart me."

She chased after him, her body transmitting energy.

call out!!!!!

She suddenly appeared in front of Leon, who was flying close to the ground. Her pink and white short skirt fluttered in the wind, and her long, white legs were more conspicuous than a crescent moon in the night.

"It's over!"

Boom!

The invisible chessboard is pressed down again.

This time, Leon and Iris flew close to the ground, making it impossible for them to avoid her chessboard.

Last time, the space inside the cave was too small for her to unfold her chessboard, but now that it's open space, she can easily unfold it two or three hundred meters in an instant!

However, in the instant she unfolded, Bai Shaqilai found that Leon in front of her suddenly disappeared.

This made her frown slightly. Why was it that trick again?

She lightly poked at the air with her slender fingers, while waving her astrological staff with her other hand.

position!

Bang! ! ! ! !

Ninety meters away, a conspicuous footprint was suddenly left on the ground.

Bai Shaqilai smiled slightly: "It seems that my holding back last time made you misunderstand my strength."

She clenched her fists.

The footprints on the ground cracked into a spiderweb pattern and collapsed deeply.

"From now on, your lives are in danger."

The astrological staff emitted a faint, dazzling light.

A moment later, Leon and Iris appeared ninety meters away, embracing each other in a deep sleep, and fell asleep.

She giggled.

She still has the mark from last time.

With the aid of divination, wouldn't it be incredibly easy for her to ambush anyone she wants?

As for Morettis being killed by Moriper and herself being hunted down, it was naturally an outcome she had anticipated.

Having accumulated nearly a century of experience as a legendary astrologer and possessing two professions, how could I possibly not get the best possible result from this divination?

Look, that madman Moretsus has been killed; a good outcome.

Trick Morrie into underestimating herself, and you'll get a good result.

Obtaining a high-level demon is a good outcome.

And now, the fact that two key figures for the future, Leon Belon and Iris Foullen, have been planted in the shadows is an even better outcome.

The only pity is that Leon Belon didn't bring Tenia with him this time.

If she could acquire another Tenia, she would perfectly fulfill her expectations.

"Never mind, let's leave Tenya with them for now."

Bai Shaqilai gently grabbed the two of them by the collar, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot.

……

Lyon awoke from his deep sleep.

Beside him, Elizabeth had a serene expression, her eyes closed, her eyelashes long and thin, and her arms wrapped around him.

He glanced around.

It was a pitch-black cell, dimly lit, with no windows and a double door, the kind that looked like it had at least three locks.

Touching the surroundings, I realized the entire cell was made from materials from the bodies of at least sixth-order monsters.

His equipment and food supplies were also gone.

Only in the corner of his pocket were five spare pieces of sixth-tier powerful monster jerky, wrapped in oilcloth and sewn to the corner of his clothes. They were inconspicuous and felt like wrinkles in the clothes.

He searched all over Iris's body; her leather armor and magic wand were gone, as were the items in her pouch and pockets, leaving only a thin undergarment.

This lining is a second-class Minotaur fur lining that Lyon commissioned the Adventurers' Guild to make; he and Iris each have one.

He tried to cast a spell, but found that he couldn't mobilize any magic power.

"A forbidden magic array?"

The Forbidden Magic Array is a relatively advanced magic array, requiring a high level of understanding of cryptic writing and the ability to activate two to three hundred magical images simultaneously to activate it.

In other words, this is a magic circle that only a fifth-level spellcaster would have the opportunity to set up.

Without magic, the ability can still be summoned, but its power will be greatly reduced. Forget about Shadowform, even Phantom Slash won't let him squeeze through the crack.

Lyon's abilities are not weak, but after trying it, I found that without the aid of magic, he could condense into a jet-black blade, but it only had the strength of a first-tier weapon, which was obviously not enough to cut through the thick wall made of sixth-tier magical material.

However, since his power was not suppressed, if he continued to use physical combat techniques, he might be able to widen the gap, but it would likely take a long time.

What about the ground?

Lyon tapped it with his finger; it was clearly a material of similar quality.

"Why is this guy imprisoning us instead of killing me?"

As she was pondering, a small gate opened outside the door, revealing a fair and delicate chin that was so white it seemed to glow.

It is clearly Bai Shaqilai.

"Being able to wake up so early, it seems you are also exceptionally gifted."

"Your Excellency Bai Shaqilai, so your initial purpose for going to the school was for me?"

Seeing that Bai Shaqilai did not intend to harm him immediately, Lyon knew that he was still useful, so he spoke to test her.

"That's right, 30% of it is for you. Are you happy?"

Bai Shaqilai's voice was like a silver bell:

"And you, just as my divination predicted, have walked right into my ambush."

Lyon, combining the fragments of information Bai Shaqilai had previously gleaned, felt a slight stirring in his heart and asked, "Then there's a 30% chance it's the dragon girl, Tenia?"

"Oh? How can you be so sure it's 30%, and not the rest?"

Bai Shaqilai looked surprised.

"Because Her Excellency Bai Shaqilai clearly arrived earlier than us, but did not go to find Tanya immediately, and was instead found by us, this shows that Her Excellency has something more important to do, which is obviously more important than Tanya."

Leon sat against the wall, cradling the unconscious Iris, listening intently to the sounds outside.

When the gates were closed, even with his agility, he couldn't hear anything outside the cell.

But now, he could clearly hear the voices.

It was very faint, like a whisper heard through a blindfold, even from several rooms away.

Without a reference point, he couldn't determine the distance for the time being, but based on experience, he estimated it to be within twenty to thirty meters.

In other words, the place that Bai Shaqilai brought them to was a place with a relatively high population density.

Could it be that she's playing a trick on him, taking him and Iris back to some underground prison in the capital and hiding them away?

Clearly, his and Iris's disappearance would inevitably lead to Lelita and others mobilizing their forces to search for him.

Once the message is sent out, it goes without saying that Orpheus will definitely make a move.

This is really troublesome, since we've almost met all the conditions for Astalia's resurrection.

Bai Shaqilai seemed not to hear the sound of Leon moving—no, it should be said that she didn't care at all. She responded to Leon's explanation with a smile:

"Indeed, the divination told me you are a very cunning person, and now it seems that's true. Just from my actions, you were able to guess that Tenia wasn't the main point. So, why don't you guess what my other purpose is?"

Lyon hesitated for a moment, then asked instead of answering:

"I would like to ask you a question, Your Excellency: why did you bring me, an unknown nobody, here? Is it because your divination abilities are so strong that you foresaw that I would be a great threat to your future?"

"That's right, exactly."

Lyon had assumed that Bai Shaqilai wouldn't answer, or would at least beat around the bush, but to his surprise, she answered directly and frankly:

"You are the culprit who prevented me from becoming a demigod in the future. Not only that, you are also the key figure I divined to be the one who will destroy the world in the future!"

Lyon was speechless.

This pot is huge.

Kekeqi and Camille had both said this before, and that they had already tried to change their minds.

Unexpectedly, Bai Shaqilai still made the same judgment.

"May I ask, Your Excellency, is the phrase 'key figure' a confirmed fact? Is it possible that the world's destruction was delayed because of me? Or am I the legendary savior?"

"Leon asked."

He has already activated the Trust Aura, a skill that only requires mental energy, so he can still use it.

At the same time, he was also considering how to use the interference halo to escape.

However, because the materials here are very potent, the amount he can swindle is very limited.

Fortunately, my mental strength has increased quite a bit recently, so I should have a good chance of cheating on a certain location in the cell, such as cheating on the door lock. The success rate would probably be higher.

In addition, he sensed that neither of the two modes on his body had exited, indicating that he had been unconscious for less than 12 hours.

By simply checking when you exited the state, you can figure out how long you were unconscious, how far you could go at Bai Shaqilai's speed, and roughly determine your location.

Bai Shaqilai laughed:

"What? You really think you're the savior? Let me put it this way, there are many possible endings for the future world, and in every single one of the scenes I divined, I saw your figure. Tell me, if you're not a key figure, then what are you? Surely it's not like all the futures I divined are scenes of you failing to save the world, right? If so, your future is pretty miserable too."

Although she said Leon was miserable, she was smiling, clearly not believing that Leon could always arrive at the crucial moment of the world's destruction.

After all, this was too outrageous, and the other party was a well-known womanizer and a master at seducing high-class women, according to divination.

For someone like her who had upheld chastity and integrity for over a hundred years, such a person was something she deeply abhorred and hated.

Bai Shaqilai was the last princess of the Fox People Kingdom. During her escape, she acquired the accumulated wealth of the Fox People Kingdom over thousands of years and set a long-term goal of revenge and restoration of her kingdom.

In order to achieve these two things, she devoted herself to studying ways to become stronger from a very young age, and discovered a second profession that was extremely compatible with her as an astrologer: a chess player.

Thus, she painstakingly and diligently improved herself by utilizing the Fox People Kingdom's legacy while living in seclusion on an eastern island. With the help of the Fox People Kingdom's semi-mysterious treasures, she developed a completely new theory of divination, which successfully gained worldwide acclaim and propelled her to legendary status.

Her path to promotion, after a turbulent adolescence, was incredibly smooth.
