You are all my wings...

……

In front of Elizabeth's mansion.

Lyon stood against the wall at the main entrance.

The mansion is located in a remote part of the western district of the capital, and there is a cemetery not far away.

At this time of day, close to midnight, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

Iris, who made a bet with Lyon, has clearly not returned here safely yet.

"That's terrifying. I thought your handsome looks could even attract the Holy Maiden."

Beside Lyon, Bisquie muttered to herself, looking terrified.

She was also a priestess of the Astalia cult before her death.

Although Britta had not yet risen to prominence during her early active years, in Bisci's mind, the holiness of the Holy Maiden of the Papacy was extremely high.

If even the saintess was attracted to Leon's handsome looks, Bisge wouldn't know which side to be afraid of.

Should one fear the collapse of their faith, or the theft of their master?

"Ugh, this is so hard to choose."

Leon slapped Bisquie away as she was about to lick his face, grabbing her chin with his fingers to prevent her from bringing her head and tongue closer.

"Why are you in heat again?"

"I'm not in heat, but rather I've decided to follow my heart after much internal struggle."

"If you keep messing around, I'll take you back."

"No, there's a cemetery nearby. This eerie atmosphere is perfect for me to train my magic."

"Then you'd better train your magic properly! If you mess around again, I'll shove you right into the toilet bowl."

Upon hearing Leon's words, Bisggie was shocked and finally calmed down.

The area in front of Elizabeth's mansion also became deserted.

Lyon was happy to relax, checking the panel for any missing information while waiting for Iris's return.

This bet is also key to his next move.

what.

He suddenly noticed that there were other updates on his personal panel.

Leon Belon

Age/Lifespan: 17/109

[Current Level: Mage (Tier 1) / Shadow Walker (Tier 2)]

【主要屬性：生命力29/魔力量25/體力27/力量31/敏捷39】

[Current Title: Wyvern (Young) Crusher]

[Core Class Skills: High-Speed ​​Mana Recovery/Shadow Leap]

[Currently mastered skills: Water, Earth, Wind, and Fire magic (no casting); Shadow Breath, Shadow Sword Slash, Phantom Step/Shadow Blade, Shadow Strike, Shadow Shield]

[Participated in the following missions: Chosen of Kings (0%), Fallen Dark Elves (1%), and Paladin Selection (0%)]

[Having successfully deceived individuals two or more levels stronger than yourself on multiple occasions, you are now eligible to unlock the extraordinary profession of Swindler. Do you wish to take this job?]

Fraudulent activity?

Was it his previous deception of Elizabeth that brought him to this crucial moment?

For example, claiming to be able to do divination is a lie, used to cover up one's knowledge of the plot.

"Unexpectedly, there was this pleasant surprise."

Lyon is very happy.

Each additional extraordinary profession will provide a corresponding bonus to various attributes.

Generally speaking, the attribute limit for Tier 1 is 10, the attribute limit for Tier 2 is 20, and so on, up to Tier 4. The higher the Tier, the greater the attribute difference.

Of course, it's not uncommon for characters with potential A+ or higher to break through the attribute limits of each rank through training, reaching two or three times the limit of their rank, if they have a specific focus.

But for ordinary people, even reaching the limit is not necessarily something they can do.

Therefore, for every additional extraordinary profession, an ordinary person can break through their attribute limits one more time.

Lyon's current total magic power is 25, and his other attributes are close to or exceed twice the limit, which is the result of having two extraordinary professions.

Other ordinary second-tier magic powers often hover between 10 and 15.

A magical power level approaching 20 is already considered top-tier, second-tier.

However, it is difficult to find a job in an extraordinary profession.

For example, a magician needs to learn three basic spells in order to receive enlightenment from the world, complete an extraordinary career, and acquire core skills that match their own situation.

The core skill Leon acquired after training in four types of non-chanting magic was high-speed mana regeneration.

Combined with this core skill and his uncastable magic, he can exert a combat effect comparable to forty or fifty magic power in a short period of time.

Of course, once you've started a job, it's generally difficult to find inspiration for a second job.

Given the same job requirements, a second job needs to be performed even more perfectly and in greater depth in order to have a chance of success.

If your goal for a second career is to become a mage, you must learn at least six basic spells to have a chance of getting the job.

If the second profession is a warrior, then similarly, one needs to master six combat skills.

Note that there is a chance.

Some people may learn seven or eight techniques, but they still might not be able to do it.

Combat skills and magic require compatibility.

Some people possess these combat skills and magic in a haphazard way, unable to develop them into a coherent system, making it difficult for them to find employment.

How to match skills for rare professions and how to advance in rank are mostly secret knowledge known only to high-ranking figures such as nobles, the Papacy, and the court.

Leon's second profession, Shadow Walker, was achieved by using his game experience to specifically learn three corresponding shadow magic and shadow combat skills, which can be considered a slight cheat.

Unexpectedly, his habitual behavior of bullying the strong, coupled with Iris's last-minute intervention, actually unlocked a third extraordinary profession, and an extremely rare one at that!

This profession is one that even those who have played through all the side quests in the previous life have never encountered.

Is it because deceiving the female lead makes him more likely to attract the world's attention and enlightenment? Leon simply took the job before Iris arrived.

"Job offer: Scammer!"

Chapter Seven: Thank You for Your Trust

The job application process has no special effects.

Because he was already familiar with the job application process, and with the help of the interface, Leon successfully got the job in no time.

The whole process was smooth and uneventful, even calmer than when I took the job of the Shadow Walker for the second time.

The changes in the body were also surprisingly subtle.

This made Lyon wonder if he had taken a fake job.

Upon closer inspection, the differences were discovered.

"The magical power seems to have increased somewhat."

He looked at the updated information on the character panel.

【主要屬性：生命力30/魔力量27/體力30/力量31/敏捷39】

"Hmm, aside from Agility remaining unchanged, Magic Power increased by 2 points, and the other attributes increased by an average of 1 point? Not bad."

Lyon was slightly surprised.

After all, I just started this job, so every little bit of extra pay is welcome.

Especially magic power; a single point of magic power can be equivalent to several points of other attributes. Through various buff spells, other attributes can also be boosted for a short period of time.

It can be described as omnipotent.

Therefore, magic is the most important attribute in the entire Sword, Sorcerer and Sacred Land series.

When you take on a new job, your attribute cap will definitely increase, that's for sure, but you need to train thoroughly to see exactly how much the cap has increased.

In addition, the more jobs you have, the higher your training efficiency will be.

This can be considered a cheating mechanism. Leon discovered it when he repeatedly played the first few installments of "Sword, Magic and the Holy Land" in his previous life. He wondered if those big shots had mastered this little bit of secret knowledge.

Of course, Lyon's judgment was that very few people should know this, because the increase brought by the second job was relatively small, and it would be difficult to discover without active comparison and research.

It takes five or six extraordinary professions to become noticeable.

Then comes the crucial core skill.

[New Core Class Skill: Trust Aura]

[Effect: When the skill is activated, it increases the target object's (single) trust in you. The effect varies depending on the object, environment, and conditions. The higher the base affinity and the more meticulous the conversation, the greater the increase.]

Wow, this is good.

Lyon's eyes lit up.

When I see Elizabeth later, I can use this skill to improve my deception efficiency.

The quest for "Fallen Dark Elf" also needs to be prepared in the next couple of days.

I just don't know how much magic power it consumes. In theory, core skills generally don't consume too much magic power, which is quite hardcore.

This is also what distinguishes the extraordinary from ordinary unemployed people.

Under the same circumstances, they will consume less magic power when activating the corresponding skills in their profession compared to those who are not employed.

For example, when Leon first started learning magic, he needed 4 points of magic power to cast a basic spell.

Once you've mastered the skill to the point where you don't need to chant, you only need 2 points of magic.

After becoming a mage, you only need 1 point of magic power.

When one's mastery deepens, perhaps one point of magic power will be enough to unleash two basic spells.

At least Leon had achieved this feat in his previous life in the game.

"Wow, it's been at least 20 minutes past midnight, hasn't it?"

Suddenly, Bisji shouted:

"Leon, Leon, that blue-haired elf still hasn't shown up. Doesn't that mean you've already won the bet? What's holding her back? I didn't see you have anyone hold her off."

Blue-haired elf?

Leon paused for a moment before realizing that Bisquie was referring to Iris.

Her hair color is a refreshing turquoise, like the sky, and it has a very beautiful textured sheen. You could even call it blue hair.

“I didn’t arrange anything. She probably just met her long-lost mother and chose to follow her over making a bet.”

As they were talking, a solitary figure slowly approached from not far ahead, bathed in the dim moonlight.

This is a long-eared elf with light blue hair cascading down her shoulders. She wears a pure white dress that covers her exceptionally slender body, and her long, white arms swing weakly.

As they drew closer, her beautiful features, her emerald-yellow eyes, and her skin that shone even in the night sky came into view of Leon and Bisquie. The unique beauty of this haggard beauty under the moonlight caused them to temporarily stop talking.

It was Elizabeth.

At this moment, the usual proud expression on Iris's face had vanished without a trace, leaving only loneliness.

It wasn't until she was ten meters away from Leon that she seemed to sense his presence.

She slightly raised her head to observe Lyon, her expression indifferent:

"So you came here to take advantage of my vulnerability?"

“Miss Iris, you’ve wronged me. I only wanted to befriend you and let you know that I wasn’t lying to you. As for the one hundred gold coins from the bet, they’re still in your hands, aren’t they? In other words, as long as you don’t acknowledge the bet, you don’t have to pay me back the money.”

Lyon smiled faintly and spoke.
