You are all my wings...

Berylita shook her head; this guy was surprisingly wary of her.

“Leon Belon, come out, there’s no need to hide anymore.”

"As expected of the Holy Maiden, she has keen insight and easily discovered my disguise."

Lyon's figure slowly emerged from the shadows in the corner.

"Heh, I think you deliberately leaked your information. When did you get here?"

Britta slowly turned around and looked at Leon.

Chapter Five: What kind of relationship do you want with Iris?

"It was probably around when the Holy Maiden said she was interested in me."

Lyon smiled and replied.

"Wow, that's really embarrassing."

Birelita narrowed her long, slanted eyes slightly, her tone gentle.

At this moment, Leon noticed a change in the character panel.

Unexpectedly, I also gained some unexpected benefits today, including the activation of another S-rank character's panel information.

The woman in front of me is the second female lead in "Sword, Magic and Holy Land 1".

[Character: Brelitta von Hestya]

[The character's personal side quest "The Selection of Paladins" has been unlocked]

[Mission Details: Help Brelitta von Hestya win this year's Astalia Holy Knight selection]

[Quest Reward: Increase maximum mana by 10; Reward: Beginner Holy Prayer]

They immediately gained over 40% favorability and even got two quests?

Lyon quickly glanced at the information on the panel, secretly pleased.

It looks like I'm about to have a bumper harvest.

Incidentally, although Berylita is a Tier 4, her attributes seem to be similar to those of Iris, who is a Tier 3.

However, apart from their faster growth, humans are far inferior to pure-blooded elves in every other aspect of their racial advantages.

In addition, the divine protection that blesses Birth Rita also grants her various high-level resistances, faster mana regeneration, and a multiplied effect when casting Holy Prayer.

In particular, there are four levels of divine protection, from low to high: blessing, protection, shelter, and favor. Birelita has obtained the very rare second level, and after activating the shelter effect, her combat power will definitely far exceed her current attributes.

Moreover, the fourth tier is superior to the third tier and below in every aspect, and the class bonus is incredibly powerful.

At this stage, Berylita easily defeats Iris.

As a seasoned player, Leon would certainly not be misled by simple attribute information.

However, since he was now in front of the person in charge of the mission, Leon quickly glanced through the mission details and attributes before focusing his attention on Britta in front of him.

Upon closer inspection, the appearance of this papal saint is indeed stunning.

Beneath his brow-length black hair were a pair of perfectly round, pure black eyes, the long, narrow corners of which added a touch of subtle, devilish charm to his otherwise handsome features.

Her beautiful long dress covered her body, but her exceptionally elegant and serene demeanor revealed her graceful figure.

Compared to the aloof and beautiful Iris, in terms of appearance, Berylita gives the impression of elegance and purity.

But Leon knew that Berylita was the most ruthless female protagonist in the Sword, Magic and Holy Land series.

Beneath her holy face lies a ruthless and decisive nature, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Lofty ideals, unwavering will, iron will, insightful understanding of human nature, and the ability to easily manipulate people's hearts.

Before appearing in Sword, Sorcerer and the Holy Land 1, her most famous feat was exploring a lost dungeon as the daughter of a concubine from a fallen noble family, finding divine relics, successfully summoning a miracle in the Holy See, gaining divine protection, and thereby changing her class from a Spellsword to the rare class of Holy Prayer.

This established her status as the ninth saint of the Papacy.

After becoming a saintess, she reorganized the Papal Knights and conquered the monster forest north of the capital.

In just three years, they conquered a vast and prosperous land equivalent to two royal capitals.

As a result, she gained the support of many knights and, based on her merits and the popularity she enjoyed under the patronage of the knights, was promoted to the third saint.

Of the nine saints of the Astalia faith, she had the lowest birth but the highest reputation.

Even the two most senior saintesses were not as well-known among the people as she was.

From the very beginning, she was a character whose mental and physical abilities had been largely developed.

Even at the extraordinary level, it is a position rarely seen among people of the same age.

This is Britta.

Unlike Iris, who had to go through various trials to transform from an arrogant and proud character into a more charismatic and heroic one.

Unfortunately, before the first part of the story ends, Brierita will perish along with the big boss.

If it's not a mutual destruction, then it's a sacrifice to defeat the big boss.

Leon, who had played through all the side quests, knew this: Britta's death was almost inevitable.

There is only a very small chance of reaching Brierita's perfect ending.

This is why, despite being the second character in the first season, Burelita only has an A rating in terms of plot weight, even less than Iris, who was a background character in the early part and only rose to prominence later, and had an A+ rating.

As for the present, Lyon has another question.

I haven't even met Britta yet, so why is she so fond of me from the start?

40% is already a very high level of friendliness.

Once they cross the 60% mark, it wouldn't be surprising if they developed into lovers at any time.

A flood of information rushed through his mind, and Leon began to speak:

"What I'm more curious about is why the Holy Maiden would be interested in an nobody like me."

“You are a well-known figure who successfully killed a wyvern larva at the first level, how can you be considered an unknown nobody?”

Berylita smiled slightly.

"No, no, it's just a rumor."

Lyon looked humble.

In reality, he hadn't yet advanced to the next level of his extraordinary rank, but his combat strength couldn't be measured by the standards of a regular first-level rank. Although his progress in improving his strength was slower than he had hoped, as a transmigrator, he still had some tricks up his sleeve.

"Excessive humility appears hypocritical, Leon Belon. I'm currently looking for a suitable strategist. Your ability to overcome stronger opponents, besides your own exceptional qualities, must also stem from your wisdom and shrewdness!"

Berylita maintained her usual gentle voice.

"I see. Because the selection of this year's Holy Knights is approaching, Her Majesty plans to hold the selection at the Zhizhi Temple."

Lyon said thoughtfully.

Upon hearing this, Berylita's eyes flickered slightly.

"You guessed my purpose from just a few words? It seems I was right."

"You flatter me, Your Holiness. This is just a reasonable deduction, isn't it?"

"The selection of paladins is still at least three months away, which is not easy to predict. Alright, enough of the small talk. I want to ask you, what kind of relationship do you want with Iris?"

Leon was slightly taken aback. "That's a really strange question..."

He stared into Britta's beautiful, black pearl-like eyes and slowly asked:

"May I ask from what standpoint Your Excellency is asking this question?"

"If you can become my advisor, I will recommend that you two get married. What do you think?"

Brelitta suddenly uttered such a startling statement.

Chapter Six: Rare Professions

"marry?"

Lyon hadn't expected that Britta had this in mind.

"So, the Holy Maiden wants to recruit both me and Iris, the elven diplomat, to her side?"

"Talking to a smart person like you is simple, that's right, that's my purpose. Think about it, Leon Belon, I can give you a week to consider it, how about it?"

Leon burst into laughter at the question posed by Britta.

"Hahaha, the Holy Maiden is really joking."

"I'm not kidding!"

Lyon's reaction surprised Britta.

However, it must be said that with Leon's appearance, even his unladylike laughter gives Brierita a kind of dashing beauty.

Brillita then stared at Leon a few more times.

After Lyon finished laughing, he noticed Britta's gaze and returned it without hesitation.

“Your Holiness, I suggest you reconsider this proposal.”

"Why?"

"Perhaps you underestimate the hidden power behind Iris. Her marriage is not something that humans can decide so easily."

Upon hearing this, Birelita frowned slightly: "Even if the Elven Holy Land has already asked these diplomats to increase intermarriage with humans?"

“That’s right, Your Majesty might as well investigate further.”

Lyon said with a slight smile:

"I had a very pleasant chat with the Holy Maiden today. Since I have other matters to attend to later, I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye."

After saying that, he slowly retreated, disappearing into the shadows in the corner of the wall.

From Britta's perspective, Leon's figure disappeared into the corner as soon as he stepped into the shadows, merging with them like a drop of ink, vanishing instantly.

This scene also cast a shadow of frost over Britta's face, as she realized that her investigation of Leon had also been overlooked.

After a moment of silence, Birelita murmured softly:

"What an amazing performance, a rare profession: Shadow Walker?"

At this moment, her face showed a different kind of joy.

The rarer an extraordinary profession is, the more unusual and unique its core skills become.

Just like her extraordinary profession, the Holy Prayer, even though her own magical power is not top-notch, she can still pray to the goddess Talia for blessings and generate immense power.

Therefore, even though she was only at the fourth rank, she was still able to accomplish many great feats.

She already considered Leon as her future subordinate, and was naturally pleased with the new power he displayed. She decided that she must give Leon and Iris a push to get married, and then bring them both under her command!
