You are all my wings...

"Your Excellency, it seems you still haven't understood my good intentions."

Lyon was bearing increasing pressure, and his knees seemed unable to withstand the force, beginning to buckle slightly.

"On my own, not to mention anything else, with my diverse professional abilities, surviving here alone and avoiding multiple powerful legendary monsters in advance would be easy, wouldn't it? Why would I risk so much to find you in the center of the battlefield? Do you think I can't obtain that time-related treasure through my own means? Your Excellency, if you truly acknowledge everything I did for you before, then please take back those insults you made against my character!"

When he finished speaking, his voice rose, filled with anger, and his piercing gaze fixed on Herwiz.

Chapter 390 Herwiz: What kind of caresses do you want?

Upon hearing Lyon's words, a fleeting glint appeared in Helvie's eyes.

When did this guy become so temperamental?

How did I insult your character?

She countered with a question.

"Your Excellency believes I schemed against you; isn't that the greatest insult?"

Lyon gave a cold laugh:

“Why would I need to scheme against you? With my talents, I could have reached the top on my own. If you hadn’t initially intended to kidnap me, I would be living a carefree life right now.”

Herwiz paused for a moment, then said:

"You harbor resentment?"

"Before you said those words, I held no resentment. As for now... what do you think?"

Although Lyon is acting very tough right now.

It's not a lie to say that I can live well on my own.

But if the forest apostle's intention was to kill them after use, then none of this applies.

Based on the various divination results he has obtained under his current state of deep insight, the forest apostles' malice towards them is not low.

Therefore, it is essential to integrate Herwiz's epic power.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked repeatedly testing Helvie's limits.

Because of the time constraint, he needed to use the most extreme method: repeatedly switching between her positive and negative emotions, using extreme emotional fluctuations to increase her favorability.

He used this tactic when he first met Iris, and it helped him get rid of the predicament he had experienced for the first five years after his memories were awakened, allowing his strength to improve rapidly.

Of course, this is a dirty trick, and it can easily backfire if not used properly.

He wouldn't be in such a hurry if it weren't for the lack of time.

"So you've got it?"

Herwiz asked.

"Yes."

"So, how do you explain your choice of this direction and your desire to obtain that time-related treasure?"

"What's there to explain? This is the best route, and we can also get the treasure along the way. What's wrong with that? As for whether or not to give the treasure to Bai Shaqilai after we get it, isn't that just a matter of your decision? Do you really think that I, the one giving advice, can really decide your final choice? I'm not that forest apostle with the power to choose."

Leon scoffed and retorted, displaying a very arrogant attitude.

Herwiz stared at Lyon and suddenly realized that she didn't seem to really understand the man in front of her.

I have always regarded him as an excellent assistant, and I promised to help him become my subordinate god after I become a god.

But because he gave so much advice, I momentarily forgot what he really wanted.

At the same time, she remembered Leon's suggestion that she retrieve the Holy Relic Spring Map. The reason she was able to recover so quickly was because she had just used this treasure to repair those special injuries.

As she recalled various details, she realized that every piece of advice Leon gave her was actually the best choice for her at that moment.

Even if he had obtained this time-related treasure before Bai Shaqilai, he might have been able to use it to control Bai Shaqilai.

Considering all of this, I don't seem to have any reason to question him, and the punishment I just gave him seems to have gone a bit too far.

His resentment at this moment only made her feel a subtle pang of heartache.

[Herbie's favorability increased by 5%, current favorability is 80%]

Thinking of this, she slowly said:

"I understand. I take back what I said before."

After a pause, Helvie seemed to hesitate for a moment before speaking:

"I understand that you have your own selfish desires. If you want something, I can get it for you anytime; that's the reward you deserve. But... I can't accept you using me to guide other women!"

Her tone softened slightly.

As he said this, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he wanted to look away, but in the end he looked directly at Leon and said it.

Lyon nodded to himself; he had succeeded.

As expected, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

He said calmly, "Your Excellency, I can assure you that all the advice I gave you before was indeed the best choice for you within my knowledge. As for whether I or the women around me benefited from it, that's because miracles often favor the strong and the weak, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Miracles will favor the strong and the beautiful."

Hervé looked thoughtful.

"That's right, Your Excellency was originally a strong and capable person, but you chose to fight against the binding of the Sacred Tree alone, so your fate will be more difficult. Of course, the benefit is that your talents are fully unleashed, and you have become the fastest elf to ascend to the Epic rank."

As he spoke, the emotional pressure that had been weighing on Leon gradually subsided.

He stretched his limbs and checked the panel; in just a short while, he had lost more than thirty points of health.

If the Monster Muscle Resonance Technique isn't powerful enough, Helvie might lose half her strength in her rage.

At this moment, he felt a faint warmth coming from outside his body, and his injuries recovered quickly.

It's not just recovering; many of the minor, hidden injuries on the body that were previously visible in the Deep Dive mode are now being rapidly repaired and perfectly restored.

These hidden injuries were ones that even his supposedly strongest healing magic, the basic light-type healing magic, couldn't repair!

Looking up, he noticed a faint emerald light emanating from Helvie and falling onto him.

Crack!

A dense grinding sound came from the joints inside the body.

Unlike the squeezing and friction caused by the mental pressure before, this time it was the friction sound of bones strengthening and growing!

"Is this... the effect of the Sacred Relic Spring Map?"

A thought struck him, and he immediately guided the warmth brought by these faint lights, letting it travel over all the tiny hidden wounds and minor flaws that could be seen in the Deep Vision mode, even including the minor fractures in his bones when he was suppressed by the divine power of the Forest Apostle...

Soon, all the hidden wounds accumulated in the past and present were washed away by this warmth.

In no time, not only did his body recover, but all his visible injuries were also repaired in one go.

Vitality +2, Stamina +1, Strength +2, Agility +3

【主要屬性：窺命力40/神聖能量容納量7/精神力67/生命力121/魔力量278/體力154/力量137/敏捷162】

Leon never expected that repairing all the hidden injuries in his body would increase his attributes so much.

It seems that if I can learn higher-level healing magic in the future, I must combine it with the Deep Life-Seeking Mode to constantly repair hidden injuries and keep my body in peak condition.

"Thank you for your help."

Lyon greeted Helvie.

“Your injury was caused by me. Since it was a misunderstanding before, it is only right for me, as the person who helped you, to help. There is no need for this.”

Herwiz said calmly, her eyes almost imperceptibly avoiding Lyon's direct gaze.

As she spoke, she took something out of her bosom and tossed it into Leon's hand.

This object is dark black, an octagonal iron hammer, but the hammerhead is surprisingly smooth to the touch, without any roughness or protrusions.

"What is this?"

Lyon's heart skipped a beat.

"A powerful Shadow-type treasure, something I acquired before. I don't need it anyway, so it's perfect for your second profession."

Herwiz said calmly:

"I'll reward you. After all, you've given me so much useful information. As a reward, keep it safe. It will give you an extra layer of self-protection when I'm not able to keep an eye on things."

Lyon was somewhat surprised; he had obtained the upgrade item so quickly.

We don't even need to fight legendary monsters anymore?

She wanted to increase her self-defense capabilities, but theoretically, treasures are items forged with spellcasting materials as their core, and can also be used to upgrade.

Moreover, if the crafting method is good and enough auxiliary materials are added, the effect of the Shadow-type powerful treasure is slightly stronger than that of pure powerful materials.

Of course, it could be a decline in quality, but overall the quality remains the same.

He fiddled around for a moment, trying to inject some kind of ethereal property into it.

Buzz!

The hammer shuddered, then remained motionless, slowly disappearing from view.

He then tried to inject materialization features into it.

Suddenly, the iron hammer surged and transformed into a giant hammer. It felt weightless in the hand, but with a casual swing, a powerful wind howled and stirred the surrounding magma into a hot vortex.

He understood; this treasure should have 70% materiality and 30% illusory characteristics, forged by combining the two.

Quality...

It's slightly stronger than the powerful legendary material.

This is really good, but it's a bit too good.

He already faced immense pressure using legendary materials to advance to the fifth rank. Even elevating his combat skills to the King level wasn't enough; he needed to elevate them to the Legendary level to be on the safe side.

After all, although the previous range was large, it was still within the normal range.

But crossing into the legendary stage is where the real super-transformation occurs.

Both lifespan and the essence of life will undergo a tremendous sublimation.

Even those legendary monsters rely on their unique characteristics in battle, using their skills as a last resort, which speaks volumes.

Now that this powerful forged treasure is of even higher quality, I'm afraid I'll have to hone my combat skills to the legendary level, and even achieve perfect control, before I can possibly make such a significant leap in my advancement.

Well, this is fine too. With multiple modes supporting me, I can eventually handle these difficult problems.

Since that's the case, let's lay a better foundation.

At the same time, we will strive to make the Monster Muscle Resonance Technique as powerful as possible, so that our bodies can better withstand the power of advancement.

After he advances to the fifth rank, he will likely be able to directly compete with the legends, and may even have a chance to defeat them.

Of course, this also means that he will need epic materials to advance to the sixth rank and demigod-level materials to become a legend.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but shake his head, thankful that he had cheat codes.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with the product?"

Seeing Leon begin his experiment with obvious enjoyment, Herwiz smiled knowingly.

"Satisfied, extremely satisfied."

Lyon lowered his head and examined it carefully. Is this the joy of clinging to a rich woman's coattails? First, Bai Shaqilai gave him a powerful legendary water-type material, and then Helvie gave him this shadow-type treasure. He is now only one skill away from reaching level five.

“Very well, then let’s go find that time-related treasure. This time, I’ll follow your suggestion for now.”

Herwiz gazed into the distance, her voice drifting softly over.

Lyon suddenly looked up.

Why did she suddenly agree to listen to me?

Why did my assertiveness have such a good effect?

Or is it that the level of affection has begun to undergo a qualitative change?
