It seems she gained something from this trip to Cat Island, perhaps even grasping a glimpse of the mysteries of divination, otherwise she wouldn't have arranged the locations so perfectly.

Activating ten teleportation spells in succession allows one to traverse a hundred kilometers in the blink of an eye, a speed many times faster than an epic flight. Even for Bai Shaqilai, this consumes a considerable amount of magic power.

As far as he knew, legendary masters of spellcasting could generally achieve supersonic flight with their physical bodies, starting at one times the speed of sound, increasing to two times with experience, and reaching nearly three times the speed of sound at their peak, which is 1 kilometer per second.

Epic spellcasters start at three times the speed of sound, with six times the speed of sound being their peak level, and the fastest being 2 kilometers per second.

In other words, even if Herwiz could find her using the magical marks on her body, it would still take her more than eight minutes to fly there at full speed.

Thinking of this, Lyon glanced at Bai Shaqilai, whose face was slightly pale, next to him.

Her magic is so depleted, and the Legendary Poems have been corrupted by high-level demons. Should I knock her out?

It seems that this won't work. Her physical attributes are basically twice that of mine, a gap that can't be bridged by power-generating techniques.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Bai Shaqilai noticed his gaze and looked over suspiciously.

"It's nothing. I just suddenly felt that Your Majesty's buttocks were unexpectedly perky. When Your Majesty grabbed me in a hurry just now, I accidentally bumped into them. The feeling was truly wonderful, an excellent touch that I have never experienced before."

Lyon immediately changed the subject.

Bai Shaqilai's face immediately flushed red, and her eyes widened in disbelief:

"You still dare to flirt with me at a time like this? I can only say that your reputation as a womanizer is well-deserved! Let's go! I used to think that since you could grasp the essence of miracle divination, you must be someone who appears to be a playboy but is actually determined and has lofty goals. It seems that I overestimated you before!"

She grabbed Leon and teleported away quickly, saying as she did so:

"Disappointing, utterly disappointing!"

[Villain Bai Shaqilai's favorability +2%, current favorability 39%]

Huh? You're saying you're disappointed, but your favorability rating is skyrocketing?

Indeed, most creatures are all hypocrites.

Lyon remarked that the art of flattery has indeed proven effective in all countries throughout history.

However, he estimated that if his favorability rating had been lower and he hadn't shown the charm of a miracle astrologer, this kind of teasing would have probably resulted in him being beaten to death.

"So, Your Excellency Bai Shaqilai, are you going to take me directly to the Divine Ruins?"

"Lyon asked."

"That's right, I couldn't hide it from you, you miracle astrologer. But you probably can't use magic right now, so how do you know that? Did you do a divination here before?"

"Of course, I did a divination after I first heard about this site. You may not know this, but I have a natural magic overload syndrome. I have so much magic that it's practically free. Even if I use up all my life-gazing power, I can still do many divinations every day."

"Do you know the specific entry route?"

Bai Shaqilai's eyes revealed a competitive intent.

Although she was impressed by the wonder of Leon's miraculous divination a week ago, she couldn't immediately be completely convinced, as she believed that her own divination skills were inferior to Leon's.

After all, the difference in their social standing is undeniable.

Therefore, she still wants to reclaim her supreme right of interpretation in this field.

"You jest, sir. Even if I knew, so what? Without your strength, I couldn't open the entrance."

Leon replied casually. In reality, he only knew how Machiru activated the Divine Might Magic, but now that Bai Shaqilai had brought him here, it was clear that she had already divined a way to enter without using Divine Might Magic.

In his previous life, all he knew was the approximate location after being activated.

Bai Shaqi Lai nodded slightly. Sure enough, he even knew that the entrance required legendary strength or above to open.

This is the level that Leon Belon should be at.

His teasing just now was probably just to ease my tension after I had used up a lot of magic.

That's what she was thinking.

Ever since Leon introduced the concept of the Miracle Astrologer and repeatedly proved that he indeed possessed this ability, she has viewed Leon through a more enigmatic lens.

Although she was still far superior in terms of strength, she would no longer treat Leon with the same casual and frivolous attitude she had before.

Because she always felt that Leon, like herself, was just putting on an act with his frivolous appearance, and that he actually had his own profound and far-reaching goals and was a lofty and aloof person. Although there was no concrete evidence yet, it did not stop her from unconsciously thinking in that direction.

Of course, she would also constantly examine Lyon to verify her judgment.

For a divination technique, the more accurately one recognizes a person, the more accurate the information one can divine; this is almost her instinct.

As she spoke, she had already grabbed Leon and reached the entrance of a hidden cave at the foot of the mountain. She waved her hand to erase the traces around them and then flashed inside.

In the dark, deep cave, the faint echo of footsteps came from the far end.

"I'm asking you, do you know why I brought you here?"

"Firstly, because the mysterious ruins can conceal Helvie's psychic magical mark; secondly, because you intend to resolve the demonic problem within the divine ruins? Before that, would you like to see if my miracle divination can be of any use to you? And perhaps learn the essence of miracle divination along the way? And finally, find a time-related treasure?"

"Smart!"

Bai Shaqilai was very satisfied with Leon's answer. As an astrologer who was used to working alone, someone who could understand her without needing to say a word was just what she wanted.

"So do you think I'll succeed this time?"

"The opportunity is not small. If you advance here and succeed, even if you cannot defeat Helvie, you may still have some means to contend with her."

As Leon spoke, he was also pondering which side he should help.

The current situation is that two bosses are vying for it.

Judging from their natural talents and current strength, Hervé is naturally superior, even to an excessive degree.

The differences are significant, both in terms of magical counters and attribute strength.

However, Bai Shaqilai has two rare professions, and her future potential is not low. If she can successfully improve and update her divination theory this time, and successfully advance using the time-based treasure, her strength will increase by leaps and bounds, and she will definitely be strong.

Although Lyon pretends to be very knowledgeable about divination, if he wants to perfect a theory, he will probably have to cooperate with Baisaqilai, who has a century of experience.

As the originator, even if I cooperate with her, the benefits I can share are enormous, which can accelerate the improvement of the project. The advantages are not small, and the task can be completed quickly.

From a purely economic perspective, the benefits of helping Bai Shaqilai are now quite obvious.

Most importantly, Herwiz's sickly appearance was very risky and extremely dangerous.

She had previously intended to kill Ophimaso, but after her persuasion, she now believes that even if she is not present, she will not harm Ophimaso. However, it is hard to say what Ophimaso will decide in the future.

So, I have to stand on Bai Shaqilai's side?

No, no, what if Herwiz were to become a complete yandere? Wouldn't that be an even greater risk?

For a moment, Lyon was also in a dilemma.

At this moment, Bai Shaqilai asked again:

"I've started trying your divination methods these past few days, focusing all my efforts on divining those key figures in the future. I've made some new discoveries about them. For example, those women who came to save you last time, each of them holds a pivotal position in the overall future. So, you started dealing with them in order to easily obtain sufficient anchoring information from them?"

"If Your Excellency thinks so, then so be it."

Bai Shaqilai glanced at Lyon sideways. If it really was true, then were some of his scandalous rumors false?

But the sounds he made with Iris in the cell earlier didn't seem fake.

Was it an act on purpose, to make me lower my guard?

[Villain Bai Shaqilai's favorability +1%, current favorability 40%]

"Speaking of the commotion in the west of the city last time, who were the people who went there?"

"Leon asked."

Bai Shaqilai pondered for a moment and said, "An unfamiliar female epic, a dragon legend, a halfling at the sixth level, the third saintess, a fifth-level witch, your beloved Iris... and a younger sister who looks very cute. I can't divine anything about that younger sister. What is her background? I heard her call you 'brother' from afar?"

Kekeqi?

Unexpectedly, even Bai Shaqilai's legendary divination techniques had no effect on Kekeqi.

How should I put it to be more appropriate?

Obviously, it's impossible to say that Kekeqi is just an ordinary person and therefore didn't gain anything, because once Baishaqilai discovers the truth in the future, it will definitely cause her hard-earned reputation as a miracle astrologer to collapse.

Lyon remained calm and said, "If you want to truly master the art of divination, I cannot give you the answer. I can only say that if you succeed in your divination, you will surely gain a great deal."

"Oh? Then that's something to look forward to."

Bai Shaqilai seemed lost in thought, her pink cat ears, as soft as velvet, perked up at the tips.

As they spoke, the two quickly traversed the cave passage and arrived at the end of a passage.

As Bai Shaqilai waved her staff, a dazzling white magical light flashed, and the moss and vines at the end seemed to come alive, spreading out layer by layer to reveal a seemingly ordinary gate—the hidden entrance to the divine ruins.

If you didn't know in advance, it would be easy to be blinded by these vines, assume it's the end, and then turn around and leave.

The gate was ten meters long and six meters wide, with doors opening to the left and right. The material was cold, hard, and deathly white, with a heavy and solid feel. There were no words engraved on it, but Leon knew that the gate was forged from the bones of a powerful legendary monster.

In his previous life, he had read information on the forum that this gate was three meters thick and contained a powerful sealing magic array, which even legendary experts could not easily push open.

However, Bai Shaqilai doesn't have this problem. Although her strength isn't legendary or top-tier, her divination skills can detect magical energy channels, allowing her to skillfully enter them.

She had clearly prepared for this in advance. Without any fancy moves, she pushed the door open with her hand, and the seemingly unstoppable door slowly slid open, allowing a ray of aurora to shine through the crack and illuminate the two people's faces.

The aurora reflected on the face presents an endless spectacle, as if the vast world has been condensed into a beam of light and focused here, dreamlike and magnificent.

Only 3 minutes had passed between exiting the teleportation array and opening the portal.

Meanwhile, Helvie was still chasing Leon's magical mark, traversing the entire expansive 41 floors.

……

The sacred murals are here.

After Herwiz left without hesitation to chase after Lyon, the concealment magic she had left around Ophimaso quickly lost its effect over time.

At that time, Ophimaso was still immersed in the resonant power of the sacred murals, eagerly absorbing all the essence of her legendary combat technique.

Because she wasn't very skilled at disassembling, even with the Deep Miracle Mode, her efficiency was still far inferior to Leon's, and after most of the day, she still hadn't fully grasped it.

Even so, this efficiency far surpasses that of her training alone, successfully pushing the progress from 60-70% to 80% of the refinement level. As a legendary combat technique, this efficiency is quite remarkable.

This legendary combat technique is called Blade of Destruction. It is a legendary-level peak combat technique. If used well, it can even rival the power of some epic-level combat techniques.

After all, even with the help of Miracle Mode, she usually finds this combat skill extremely difficult to learn and progresses very slowly.

suddenly--

"Huh, why is there suddenly another person?"

"That's right, they weren't here just a moment ago, how come there's someone here in the blink of an eye?"

"Hey, who are you? How did you get in here?"

Several paladins from the Papacy slowly gathered around Orpheus, drew their swords, and looked on warily.

"Wait, I recognize her."

The Ninth Saintess, Cynthia, who had walked over, suddenly said:

"She is the second princess, Ophimaso. Everyone, don't be alarmed. The royal family has been cooperating with us recently, and perhaps it was Berylita who granted her the right to use her."

……

A moment later, Ophie Marceau, who had just woken up and realized that Herwiz and Leon had suddenly disappeared, almost went crazy.

Following the unseen connection she felt with Leon, she strode away from the sacred mural and ran with all her might towards a place a thousand miles away.

As she ran, her gentle and lovely face was filled with regret.

Even though Herwiz seemed to have a good attitude towards Lyon before, if the sacred mural is not done properly, it will definitely cause some problems.

Herwiz had thought of killing him in a moment of weakness. If she hadn't grasped anything from the sacred mural, wouldn't she have wanted to kill Leon as well?

Thinking about this, she felt increasingly depressed, as if something was blocking her chest.

How could I be so engrossed in combat skills that I neglected to pay attention to the outside world?

"Honey, you absolutely can't get hurt!"

As her mood shifted, the shackles on her mind were broken by her second personality. Her long, flowing golden hair flew up, and surging magic burst forth. She seemed to be burning with life, and her speed increased faster and faster.

……

At the same moment.

On a desolate road outside the city of Bolas in Sambor.
