You are all my wings...

Chapter 81 I smelled lies on you

"Well, how should I put it? It's quite amazing. But if I had to say what I've learned, it's that I seem to be able to use my intermediate magic more smoothly now. However, there's something else going on, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

Iris pondered for a while with a pained expression.

Lyon rarely saw her frown, and couldn't help but run his index finger across her brow.

Why do you look so distressed?

"Your mouth is constantly eating monster meat to replenish your magic power, my teeth are sore, Leon, aren't yours sore too?"

At this moment, Iris seemed to be so tormented by toothache that she did not even notice Leon's caresses, letting Leon experience the smooth and delicate feel of her skin.

"At least I have a second profession as a warrior. Although my strength is a bit less than yours, my technique for exerting force is better than yours, so chewing it isn't too strenuous."

Leon's strength is 37, while Iris's is 39. Strictly speaking, she is indeed stronger than Leon.

However, as a pure spellcaster, Iris's high strength attribute is a racial gift. Although she also engages in daily training, it mainly grows naturally. She is not on the same level as someone like Leon who has mastered multiple combat techniques in terms of power exertion.

Attributes determine the maximum level, but how much you can bring out depends on your profession and training direction.

Just like Karl and Bovary, their attributes are mostly similar, but one is good at tanking skills such as parrying and blocking, while the other is good at roaming and blitzing. Their fighting styles are completely different, and their power generation techniques are also completely different.

Lyon himself is an example. With the two great skills of no casting and high-speed casting, he can easily defeat his opponents with the same magic power and rank.

"So how exactly do you train to even work the muscles in your teeth?"

"This is a skill that warrior-type professions naturally learn to save energy; it's not something that can be achieved simply by building muscle."

"If I encounter a similar monster, won't I have to grit my teeth until they ache?"

"You can try learning a few combat skills to hone your abilities; if you're skilled enough, it might inspire you to pursue a second profession."

“I see. But I feel that light magic is very time-consuming to learn, so I’m afraid I don’t have the time.”

"Elise, I smell a lie on you."

As Leon spoke, he took the opportunity to sniff Iris's cheek.

Iris blushed.

She quickly pushed Leon's hand away and walked to the exposed form of the Cosmic Light Moss.

"What should we do with this thing? Should we stop attacking it?"

"No need. It's safe now that its magic is depleted and its tentacles can't regenerate for a short time. Besides, killing it rashly would damage the target item. This step needs to be dismantled slowly; we can't rush it."

The form of the cosmic moss no longer resembles a normal moss; it is a strange, tangled mass of moss.

It has both the slender, dense mycelium unique to fungal monsters and the sticky, fuzzy, greenish moss. The two intertwine to form a thick green vein that connects the upper and lower ends of the branch road.

Aside from its rather disgusting appearance, the complex spectrum emitted by this cosmic moss, resembling a complex spectrum of dozens of rainbows superimposed on each other, does have the mythical charm of being used by gods to build temples.

"It seems that this thing has only just grown to the fourth level. We can easily defeat it, and the rewards won't be bad either."

Lyon observed for a moment and then gave his judgment.

He drew his second-tier magic sword and stepped forward.

"You've all worked hard. Take a break and eat something to recharge. I'll take care of this."

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing Leon mention "eating," the knights all displayed expressions of terror akin to withdrawal symptoms in addicts.

"No need, my mouth has been moving all day, and it tastes like jerky. I can't stand it."

Milo reacted the most, waving his hands repeatedly.

Despite his naturally lazy personality, he tried his best several times under Leon's provocation and the aura of trust.

But as time went on, he eventually reverted to his true nature.

Unlike Bovary, whose effects are exceptionally long-lasting, even Leon sometimes couldn't stand his fervor.

Among the knights, Marcello seemed to be enjoying himself immensely, his eyes gleaming with a hint of longing.

Leon chuckled, ignoring them, and first infused the magic sword with magic power to activate the sharpening enchantment.

Then, following a very inconspicuous line in the middle of the cosmos moss, gently cut from top to bottom.

tear.

Milky white sap slowly seeped out from the cut along the cut surface of the moss stem.

The juice had a sweet aroma. Leon wanted to lick it and try it, but remembering the description in the Dietary Guidelines that this stuff was more suitable for alchemy and not for consumption (it contained neurotoxins), he gave up on the idea.

Lyon took out the alchemical bottle, activated a micro-suction wind, and sucked the liquid into the alchemical bottle.

Then he took out a handkerchief to dry the magic sword, put it back in its sheath, took out the dismantling knife, and cut open the thick outer layer of the cosmic moss.

After cutting through the outer barrier, a beautiful, crystal-clear stem, as white as jade, was revealed inside.

This is the core of the Lightmoss spell, an item with the mythical property of distorting the flow of time.

Leon held it in his hand for a while, then tossed it to Iris.

"This is yours, Iris. Advance to the fourth rank as soon as possible, so that if the Holy Blood School attacks, we will have more fighting power to deal with them."

Everyone agreed on this point; Lyon had already explained it before.

Of course, this is also because Brierita, who has the authority to make decisions, has no objections.

"But what about the auxiliary materials for the promotion ceremony..."

Iris didn't expect to get the upgrade item so quickly, and she was a little stunned when she received it.

"Don't worry, I bought all the upgrade materials before entering the dungeon, just in case. It cost 34 gold coins. Remember to pay me back later."

Leon took out a bunch of auxiliary materials from the large package behind him, then pointed to the ground, indicating to Iris to draw the upgrade magic circle.

"Okay, Lyon, you're so thoughtful."

Iris was both amused and exasperated; she was in debt again.

She walked to the end of the side road and slightly turned the corner, and began to draw the magic wand.

The group turned their heads away and looked in other directions.

After all, the magic array for this advancement ceremony was a secret knowledge of the Elven Holy Land, and everyone knew to avoid suspicion, even though they couldn't understand the mysterious characters on the array.

Lyon walked to the end and began digging a pit.

If it were possible, one might be able to obtain the life roots and tendrils of the returned life of the Cosmic Light Moss.

Last time I ate half of the Life Root of the Man-Eating Flower, my life force increased by 4 points in one go.

This cosmic moss is at least a powerful fourth-tier material. Even if the spell core isn't suitable to eat, the life-root tendrils should be pretty good, right?

After digging for a while, Lyon shook his head regretfully. It seemed that such good results weren't always possible.

Even if the Radiant Moss doesn't have the ability to return life and can't condense life roots, all parts of its body, except for the tang and its juice which are slightly toxic, are suitable for consumption.

After eating pork jerky all day, it's time for a change of pace.

For dinner, let's make a soup with moss and dried meat.

Chapter 82 Your Excellency made me realize my own weakness again.

After Leon dismantled Zhou Guangtai's body, he kept a small portion to make dried scallops, and cooked the rest into a large pot of fragrant soup with some spices.

"You really won't eat?"

"No, no, no."

Miro solemnly refused.

"Your Excellency, I appreciate your kindness, but I really don't have much of an appetite. Just give me a little soup, that's all."

Bovary touched his belly, then lowered his head with a look of embarrassment and shame.

Carl seemed to still be disgusted by Mark, standing guard on the outer edge of the side road while quietly practicing his swordsmanship, his face full of the resolute look of a sage, without responding to Leon.

Mark: "Yes, Your Excellency. I spoke to you a little loudly earlier, and now I feel quite bad about it! Please leave me some; as a token of my gratitude, I feel I cannot refuse your kindness."

Lyon was speechless. "If you can, I'll be happier if you use this gratitude for something more useful next time."

He gave a bowl of soup to Bovary and Mark.

Then he looked at Britta.

Her lips twitched imperceptibly for a moment, then she immediately regained her composure.

"You can enjoy it yourself; I don't need it for now."

Although it is a powerful monster, the appearance of the Lightmoss is indeed a bit crazy.

Of course, this is not the core reason why everyone refused.

It's a powerful monster, after all; its appearance isn't so grotesque that it would deter superhumans from eating it.

The main reason was that they had been eating meat continuously all day to replenish their bodies, which caused them to develop anorexia in a short period of time.

Although Lyon estimated they would recover in two or three days, it seemed they wouldn't have the chance to enjoy this delicious food for now.

As for Leon himself, he possesses the core skill of an elemental mage, Rapid Mana Regeneration, which makes him quite efficient at digesting monster flesh.

In addition, he had been used to this practice for five years, so it didn't have much of an impact.

He started drinking it bowl by bowl.

Slurp, slurp.

It smells so good, really good.

This refreshing and mellow soup, this chewy and delicious moss stem, so delicious and crunchy!

While drinking, he glanced at Iris, who was still drawing a magic circle.

That makes sense. After all, it's a fourth-tier advancement ceremony, the first step from a lower to a middle tier. Given the rarity of the Light Elementalist profession, it's not surprising that the advancement ceremony is complex.

After eating a large piece of moss, Leon noticed a change in the panel.

Ok?

What's increasing is actually power?

It's strange that eating monsters skilled in time magic increases one's strength.

Is it because the stems are thicker?

Although he didn't understand, Lyon didn't hesitate and ate it in big mouthfuls.

The moss itself is not large; after removing the inedible parts, its total weight is less than 100 pounds.

With the soup, he finished it quickly, leaving only a little soup and scraps, making his stomach feel full.

【主要屬性：生命力48/魔力量51/體力41/力量41/敏捷47】

Strength increased by 4 points in one go!

Cool!

This time, he once again enjoyed the attribute growth all to himself.

It seems that the attribute bottlenecks of the three professions are still quite high, and all three professions are rare professions, which have a higher bonus than ordinary professions.

Rare professions tend to appreciate more because extraordinary professions receive blessings from the world. The fewer people who hold a profession, the greater the blessings they receive because there are few competitors in the same field.

This blessing manifests in many ways, such as job affinity, ease of learning related skills, and potential bottlenecks in attributes, all of which are different.

Furthermore, with a panel like Leon's that allows him to see the attribute growth after eating monster meat in real time, even if he has short-term anorexia, he would probably grit his teeth and eat it to complete the attribute accumulation as soon as possible.

Others don't have his advantages, and their potential bottlenecks are lower. Even if they eat monster meat, they can only feel that they seem to have improved, but they also feel that they haven't improved. It's a very subtle feeling.

Only by eating foods that can increase many attributes at once can one have a more noticeable experience.

what.

In addition to physical strength, magic power also increased by two points.

At this moment, Lyon realized that he had missed some information.
