You are all my wings...

"It's nothing. I just felt guilty thinking about how I didn't perform well in the battle just now and almost hurt you, Mark."

Karl was a little flustered, afraid that his wild thoughts would be discovered, so he made up an excuse in his nervousness.

Markton was deeply moved and beaming with joy.

Leon noticed the four knights' conversation, waved his wand, and casually cast six basic water healing spells over them.

All four of them had some bruises on them.

As the tank, Karl naturally suffered the most severe injuries, with tiny bone fractures all over his body, and his walking movements became somewhat deformed.

The reason they've made it this far from the battlefield is thanks to the advantages of their knightly profession, their immense physical strength, and their unwavering will.

So he directly consumed three of Lyon's Water Healing spells and recovered most of his health.

The remaining part can only be treated with rest and supplements.

The injuries to the other three were still manageable, so Leon only used one of each to repair the obvious wounds.

"Eat more of the monster meat we stored up earlier and take good care of your injuries. We can't move until the Holy Maiden has recovered."

On the way here, Leon had already briefly explained Britta's situation to the group, so although the four of them were worried, they did not come up to disturb Britta's recuperation.

"Should we still fight that fake wisdom tree?"

"Definitely, it has been weakened considerably by us, and it would be a waste of resources not to attack it."

The Pseudo-Wisdom Tree is very strong and can easily defeat other level 5 powerful beings.

However, Leon has already found its weakness. As long as Berylita recovers, with the current lineup of four Tier 4 and more Tier 3 fighters, the success rate is very high.

If it were another powerful Tier 5 weapon, Leon would not dare to act rashly.

In addition, Lyon is also more interested in sacred murals.

This item was a legendary item that he had heard of but never seen in his previous life. On the forum, only a few players had gained some mysterious insights into it.

If you can get some good stuff from this, that would be great.

After resting for a while, Reynt's group and Lyon's group began to exchange pleasantries and introduce themselves to each other.

The fourth-tier female assassin is named Hoshil Kashlermi, and is Reent's younger sister.

Her face was covered by a black mask, revealing only a pair of beautiful, slanted eyes and delicate eyebrows. She had a shapely figure with all the right features, but she remained silent the whole way, not uttering a single word.

He exchanged pleasantries with the others, but only nodded briefly before falling silent.

In response, Reynolds explained that Hossil had a curse on his throat and was not fit to speak, but it was not meant to be rude, and he hoped everyone would understand.

The two looked very different; one was beautiful and aloof, the other was rugged and passionate.

When it was introduced that they were siblings, Milo almost blurted out something offensive like, "You two look like you were born to completely different mothers." Luckily, Mark loudly praised their relationship, interrupting Milo, otherwise the situation would have been very awkward.

The third-level scout was a halfling named Kircha, who belonged to the subhuman race.

Halflings have worse attributes than regular humans, so it should be difficult for them to infiltrate a team of powerful adventurers.

But he is very skilled. Judging by his agility alone, he can be considered a level three expert. According to several people, he is also a dual-professional, possessing another rare profession: a trap expert.

Ironically, the two handsome young spellcasters were not siblings, but a couple.

The man's name is John, and the woman's name is Sally; both are common names in the southern part of the Kingdom of Horshah.

After thinking about it for a moment, Leon realized that he actually remembered all of these characters.

Chapter 115 Master! What should I do next?

Leon remembered that this so-called Long Spear Adventure Group was one of the forces under the command of the future leading lady.

No, according to the timeline, these people should have already made contact with the first female lead and joined her ranks. They are currently an unofficial force under her command. Their purpose in entering the dungeon this time is to spy on the secrets of the Holy Maiden's operation.

In other words, due to this monster uprising, the two sides, who should have kept it a secret from each other, have surprisingly formed a temporary team.

While secretly amused, Leon also recalled a series of information about the female lead of the first part.

The main female lead is Ophimaso von Horsha, the second princess of the Horsha Kingdom, who has many prestigious titles.

The continent's number one female swordswoman, the kingdom's number one beauty, the lightning commander, and the peace ambassador.

And, the dragon slayer.

That's right, Ophima, who is currently only at the fifth rank, has already accomplished many feats and been granted the title of king ahead of schedule. Once he advances to the sixth rank, he can directly obtain the royal territory.

The most amazing and widely circulated story is that two years ago he led a large army to successfully kill an elderly seventh-tier legendary dragon.

This is the great feat of slaying demons.

In this world, dragons are divided into intelligent species and monsters.

Monster dragons, collectively known as demon dragons, possess great magical power but low intelligence. They are generally the deepest floor masters of various dungeons. If the monsters in the dungeon are not properly eliminated, they will take the opportunity to flow back to the surface, wreaking havoc and causing terror and destruction.

A single seventh-tier demonic dragon is enough to destroy a small to medium-sized country.

The intelligent dragon species have subtle differences such as red dragons, blue dragons, and golden dragons. They currently live in the far west and rarely venture into the central mainland to cause trouble. They are collectively known as intelligent dragons.

The seventh-tier demonic dragon is comparable to a major natural disaster; its terrifying power is extraordinary.

Even if Ophimosa led a large army, and even if the seventh-order dragon was in the final stages of its life and its strength was greatly reduced, it would still be a great sacrifice for Ophimosa to finally defeat it. It would not be an easy task.

Therefore, if we only look at the current paper strength comparison between Berylita and Ophimaso, Berylita is basically completely defeated.

But things can't be viewed that simply.

Because the emerging court power represented by Orpheus was still weak, while the Papacy behind Berylita not only had divine backing, but also a terrifying foundation built up over a longer history than the Horshah royal family, and a powerful organizational structure that the Horshah Kingdom could not match.

Before the two sides completely break off relations, the Papacy is still controlling everything behind the scenes in the kingdom.

Had it not been for Horthy IX's extraordinary strength, the court's power would have been even more precarious.

Orpheus is also very popular. In the first two installments of the Sword, Sorcerer and the Holy Land series, she was the undisputed main heroine. In the third installment, she was relegated to the main role, but her popularity remained high.

It wasn't until the fourth book, when Iris was promoted to a demigod, that Iris's popularity was surpassed by Iris.

As for Britta, if she hadn't sacrificed herself so early in the first part, given the rapid growth of the Holy Prayer class, there would probably have been much more to the story in terms of the conflict between her and Ophimaso.

With this information in mind, Lyon also chatted casually with Reynolds and the others, subtly trying to glean information from them.

After chatting for a while, the two began taking turns keeping watch and resting.

After finishing the fourth-grade bear jerky, Leon took out the Ice-Cold Unicorn Horn and the Kraken Brain Core and began his usual meditation training.

Meanwhile, Iris, who had been sitting next to Leon, looked visibly disappointed when she saw him begin to meditate immediately after finishing his casual conversation.

At this moment, Machiru suddenly grabbed Iris and pulled her aside.

Iris shook off Machiru's wrist and said coldly:

“Miss Macchiato, we’re not familiar with each other. You can speak freely.”

Ma Qilu's lips twitched, speechless.

Why is this woman suddenly so obnoxious?

Is it because he can't get what he wants in Lyon that he's taking his anger out on me?

“Miss Iris, I just kindly told you my master’s secret, and this is how you treat me?”

Elizabeth: "Who knows if you're lying to me?"

Machiru's heart skipped a beat; she understood what Iris was thinking, and she chuckled.

“I understand. You think that Leon only glanced at your lips briefly and didn't do anything else, unlike what I said before, that he's madly in love with you, so you doubt the truth of what I said?”

She thought to herself, "That gullible Iris, she's actually being smart for once."

"Yes."

Elizabeth readily admitted it.

“Then you are mistaken, Miss Iris. Although you have known Lyon for much longer than I have, if you ask me, my understanding of my master is far deeper than yours. Without exaggeration, I am Lyon’s expert!”

As Machiru spoke, she put her hands on her hips with an air of arrogance and looked down at Iris, who was a head and a half taller than her.

She can now say the word "master" without any hesitation.

Deep down, she certainly didn't acknowledge Leon as her master, but for some reason, she was very adept at these superficial formalities.

"Lyonton?"

Elizabeth was stunned:

"You've only known Lyon for two days, what makes you say that?"

"Because we have already exchanged soul contracts at a deep level, Miss Iris probably has no idea what it feels like to have a soul contract that makes your souls become one. You can't even imagine how wonderful that joy and special connection are."

Machiru looked at Iris with a wicked grin, her expression extremely arrogant.

As for that special feeling she described, is it true?

Of course, it was a lie to Elizabeth.

It was just an ordinary soul contract.

Iris believed it, and she couldn't help but say:

"Then you mean..."

“What I mean is, you saw that Leon barely glanced at you just now, but in reality, he was trying his best to suppress his emotions! After all, his teammate was seriously injured, and they are currently in the perilous 41st floor. How could he, as the commander, show his romantic feelings and cause the team's morale to drop?”

Iris suddenly realized that it made sense; she really shouldn't have let her feelings for her children interfere at this time.

Maqilu's expression shifted to one of disappointment and frustration:

“Miss Iris, I am so disappointed in you. I came here with good intentions to give you guidance, but you said we are not familiar with each other... Well, we are indeed not familiar with each other, but this is not a matter of familiarity, but a matter of etiquette, understand?”

Iris was stunned by the reprimand and couldn't help but ask:

"Then, Miss Macchiato... no, Master! What should I do next?"

Macchiato knew she was close to achieving her goal, but she couldn't let Iris give up kissing Leon so easily.

It's better to be more tactful, praising first and then subtly changing the subject; that would be a smoother approach.

So she said:

"As for you, it would certainly be good to seize the opportunity to get closer to Leon, and it could also comfort his troubled mind and the pain he's under immense pressure. However, my suggestion is actually..."

"I understand, Master Macchiato!"

Iris turned and left with a grateful look on her face, not hearing Machiru's next words, "It's better to keep a low profile and minimize contact with Leon."

Chapter 116 Leon's First Experience

Macchiato was surprised by how fast Iris was moving. She was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly appeared next to Leon in the blink of an eye.

This made Maqilu extremely upset. Why did this guy only listen to half of what she said?

But it was too late. While everyone was resting, Iris suddenly shoved Leon close with her mouth.

With a smack.

Ma Qilu froze.

Is this guy really that efficient?

What was Lyon's reaction?

He opened his eyes.

The corners of my mouth were wet and slightly warm.

When you touch it with your fingers, you feel a sweet-smelling, silky, sticky liquid.

The tongue and gums seemed to retain the lingering sensation of touching something pink.
