You are all my wings...

Since reaching 90% affinity can increase the maximum magic power by exchanging bodily fluids, I have to give it a shot.

For a human like him, attributes are never fully replenished and must be constantly replenished.

This way, in the later stages of the story, attributes won't be held back by the shortcomings of the human race.

Lyon pondered for a moment before responding to Britta:

"Given my personality, I would never hesitate to take a risk for something that could yield huge rewards, provided it's safe. But since the Holy Maiden has said so, I'll be more cautious, even though I think I'm already the most cautious person in your team."

Brelitta seemed pleased with Leon's statement, and couldn't help but smile slightly, but she quickly suppressed the expression.

She said calmly:

"Then let's take Utaman away as soon as possible. His three subordinates should be dealt with by now."

That's right, in Lyon's plan, Britta initially went to the three third-rank subordinates with the four knights.

The upper spur facing the lower spur is an old trick, but it works.

Of course, this is just a basic strategy. The specific tactics are not something that can be executed by simply using the weak against the strong or the strong against the weak to achieve the goal.

Lyon had a complete plan, and the Four Knights, of course, also provided a precise attack strategy.

Combined with Berylita's strength, her strategic thinking, and her prior knowledge of her opponents' positions, all she needed to do was unleash a mid-level Holy Furnace spell at the right moment to suppress the three Tier 3 opponents, allowing the four knights to take over the suppression of them.

Afterwards, Britta rushed over and waited for Leon's trap to take effect, thus achieving the effect of a fourth-level expert using both sides.

The whole thing seemed like a back-and-forth exchange, but in reality, it only lasted three or four minutes.

Before the ground had completely cooled down, Leon cast another ice spell, freezing a path through it. He then walked over and froze the scalding hot Utaman again before taking him away.

While taking them away, they covered up the traces of the battle with earth magic.

Then, make sure to remove all traces of your actions even more thoroughly.

Andrio's men, most skilled at tracking, have already captured Utaman. Now, all they need to do is hide properly, and they should be able to gain more time.

Although the battle was won beautifully, both sides suffered significant losses in magic and physical strength and must replenish them as soon as possible.

Moreover, once they discover that Utaman has been captured, these guys will definitely be more careful in their pursuit, which will reduce the chances of Lyon and his men launching another sneak attack.

A while later, everyone returned to the sixth branch road.

Chapter 87 I absolutely did not want to get along with him for any other reason.

Lyon scanned the group of people in the passageway of the sixth branch.

All three Tier 3 Transcendent beings have been successfully captured and are tightly bound with ropes.

Our team members are all present and accounted for, but each has minor injuries.

It seems that although there was Berylita's intermediate magic to suppress them, those third-tier enemies were not to be underestimated.

Despite being outnumbered and outmatched in strength, they were still able to mount a counterattack.

It is evident that the Holy Blood School has quite a few skilled individuals.

Karl had a noticeable bloody gash on his shoulder, with flesh and blood exposed, and Bovary had a very strong burn mark on his thigh. Leon then cast two basic water healing spells on them.

Once this kind of external injury is healed, it can also restore the body's physical strength and magic recovery speed to a certain extent.

The other two were also injured, but only with minor scrapes, so Leon didn't waste his magic on them.

Incidentally, after many battles, the four knights' full plate armor has suffered numerous wounds and damage.

Even Leon's first-tier magic robe, which he wore to lure Utaman, was damaged by his combat skills.

The tank Karl's plate armor suffered the most damage.

The shoulder armor had been completely destroyed by the water-swallowing ape, and the breastplate and chest armor also had visible cracks. Other parts were covered with scratches, losing the beautiful texture that knight's plate armor should have.

Bovary's plate armor was relatively light and simple, which suited his fighting style, but it also meant that if he was hit, the damage would not be low.

He said with shame, "Your plan was perfect, but I didn't play well at the crucial moment and was countered by a scorching spell from the opponent."

Lyon said with slight interest:

"Who is so vigilant that they managed to find a chance to counterattack even after being ambushed by intermediate-level magic?"

Bovary pointed to the only woman among the three, a thin woman wearing retro black-rimmed glasses.

The woman was quite thin, like a piece of paper, with a slightly dry face and deep nasolabial folds. She looked like the kind of dull and uninteresting woman who lived a frugal and disciplined life until her thirties or forties.

“I heard them mention that this woman is called Kesi, and that she is the leader of the three.”

Bovary added a point.

"Silk engraving?"

Lyon's heart skipped a beat.

Although he was not a remarkable person, his seemingly ordinary appearance was merely the result of being ravaged by life alchemy.

However, her descendants are quite remarkable; the second female lead in the third part of "Sword, Magic and the Holy Land" is her daughter.

Together with Kairon's granddaughter, they forged a new magic system and were later hailed as a magic master who changed the world.

According to the timeline, she couldn't possibly already be pregnant, could she?

Thinking of this, Leon squatted down and touched her abdomen with his hand, tracing its shape.

This scene drew various reactions from the crowd, including surprise, confusion, bewilderment, and shock.

Even if Lyon tortured prisoners, it wouldn't provoke so many thoughts in them.

But the abdomen...

And she's just an ordinary middle-aged woman...

Milo sneered inwardly. He hadn't expected that the gentleman with his thick eyebrows and big eyes would be a kindred spirit. Not bad, very good.

Mark seemed to be deep in thought. Even His Excellency Lyon had this kind of quirk that was not understood by the world. It seemed that he must have suffered a lot of scorn. He really shouldn't have raised his voice at him back then.

Brelita observed more closely and thought:

"When he heard the name Kers, although he concealed it well, his eyes were clearly off, and his subsequent actions were also very pointed. It seems that Leon knows a lot of information that I don't know. Where does he get his information from? Should I find an opportunity to test him again? It would be good if I could seize the opportunity to get closer to him and improve our relationship. Of course, I don't want to get along with him for any other reason."

Bovary was moved once again. He couldn't help but cover his slightly moist eyes with his hand, turning his head away to avoid being seen, thinking:

"Your Excellency is truly concerned for me. I clearly made the grave mistake of underestimating the enemy in battle, yet he not only did not blame me, but also showed me through his actions that since I have fallen into the hands of this enemy, I should carefully study the enemy and prevent the same mistake from happening again!"

Thinking of this, Bovary also squatted down like Léon and reached out to touch the silk.

Lyon turned to look at Bovary, who had suddenly squatted down beside him: "What are you doing?"

"I will learn from Your Excellency!"

Bovary answered loudly.

Leon was speechless. "I was just checking if she was pregnant. What's there to learn from that?"

This kid's thought process seems to have evolved to a stage that's becoming increasingly incomprehensible. Is the halo of trust really that terrifying?

After Miro was bet on with the aura of trust, the effect lasted for a day or two before gradually fading away.

Only Bovaryx has shown its effects so far.

What exactly is the difference?

Lyon is planning to go back and try it with someone else next time.

As for the woman in front of him, he had just confirmed that there was indeed a subtle throbbing in her belly, indicating that she was probably one or two months pregnant.

Only his quick wit and keen senses allowed him to perceive this subtle change.

He pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to wake up Ke Si, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

"Your name is Kesi, right?"

She opened her small eyes, looked around, and took a clear look at the situation before her.

"Yes."

Her voice was surprisingly calm.

“Tell us briefly how many of you came this time, what your strength is, and why you're going to such lengths to deal with the Holy Maiden.”

"Why should I tell you? If you're threatening me with death, I suggest you just kill me directly to save yourself the trouble."

"If you're willing to cooperate, we might be able to offer you a respectable job. You wouldn't want your unborn child to live like a rat in a stinking alley, would you?"

Ke Si's expression changed, and her gaze suddenly turned fierce, like a mother cow protecting her calf:

How did you know?

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

So amazing, you could tell she had a child at a glance?

Is it really that flat?

Brelitta thought to herself, "I'm sure of it. My judgment was right. Leon did have some secret intelligence source. I'll talk to him alone later."

Bovary was suddenly embarrassed. His hand, which was about to reach for the brocade, stopped and froze in the distance. A strange sense of shame rose from the soles of his feet and surged into his mind.

He tried to find an explanation for himself: "...So Your Excellency had seen through other situations...but he must have meant to guide me as well. It's just that I misunderstood Your Excellency's deeper meaning. It seems that I still need to observe and learn more."

Finally, he stood up nonchalantly, only to have Milo slap him on the shoulder with a suppressed laugh on his face. This made Bovary even more ashamed, and he silently walked to a corner and shut himself away.

Leon ignored the interruption beside him and said with a smile:

"I don't need to tell you how I know. You just need to consider whether or not you want to tell us. By the way, your leader, Utaman, has also been captured by us. If you refuse to talk, interrogating Utaman or the other third-tier members will yield the same result. Even if you don't tell, they will definitely tell. And are you willing to give up this opportunity to let the child in your womb live in the sunlight?"

Chapter Eighty-Eight: Elise of the Fourth Rank Loves Pranks

After Lyon uttered those words, the stadium fell silent.

Milo thought to himself, "They're the stubborn remnants of the Bloodline School who have survived to this day. Will they really be so easily persuaded? It would be easier to interrogate them sooner rather than later. It's too tiring to just watch them like this."

"You won."

Ke Si suddenly sighed and said:

"But how can you guarantee that your promise will be valid?"

"It depends on whether you trust your own judgment. I think you're a very smart person and won't make the wrong choice, at least for the sake of the baby in your belly, right?"

As Lyon spoke, he cast an aura of trust over them.

Ke Si's eyes glazed over for a moment, then he said:

"Okay, I said, I hope you keep your promise."

……

Three hours later.

Entrance/exit on the 37th floor.

Andrio, wearing a mask and a brand-new magic robe, appeared lightly.

"Where are Utaman and Machiru?"

"I'm here."

Not far away, a loli girl dressed in a pure black magic robe appeared quietly, carrying a magic wand.

Behind her were three other Tier 3 Transcendent beings, each tall and strong.

"Where is Utaman?"

"Half an hour after arriving here, I searched around and found some signs of a battle that happened not long ago, as well as traces of other adventurers clearing monsters two days ago. Based on my judgment, this guy looks like he has been killed or captured by the target."

Macchiato shook her head indifferently.

Andrea frowned.

Were Utaman captured?

He had fought with Burelita before and knew she was strong, but he also knew that with Utaman's mithril skin, he would definitely not lose as long as he wasn't trapped. So he confidently let him lead the team to search for the target.
