You are all my wings...

tear up.

As Lyon's earth magic cleared away the ground, a rootstock, its color distinctly different from the other gray-black roots, resembling a milky-white jade root, was revealed.

These are the very roots and tendrils of life!

The first impression of Lyon is that it's huge!

The life roots of the man-eating flower were found to be about the size of a fist, while the life roots of the pseudo-wisdom tree are at least ten times larger.

Upon seeing this, drool trickled from the corner of Elizabeth's mouth as she helped out.

She grabbed Lyon, unable to contain her joy:

"Leon, we've won the lottery!"

In front of Leon, she no longer hides her foodie nature, but she still maintains a certain reserve in front of others.

But today she couldn't even maintain her composure, which shows how happy she was.

Macchiato curled her lip. She mentally assessed her situation last time, when she only received regular meat, and figured she probably wouldn't get any this time either. She couldn't help but scoff:

"It's just a root of life, right? Why are you so happy? Iris, you're still too young. I used to eat things like root of life without a second thought!"

Leon glanced at Macchiato: "Then you won't get any this time. You're tired of it anyway. I was originally thinking of giving you some based on your contribution."

With a thud.

Leon found that his thighs were being hugged by Macchiato.

My lower abdomen feels warm and slightly sticky and slippery.

Looking down, I saw her head pressed tightly against mine, her beautiful heterochromatic eyes gazing at me with teary eyes as her head tilted back.

"Macchiato, what are you doing?"

"Oh no, it's nothing. I just slipped suddenly. Um, actually I haven't eaten Life Roots in a long time. I really miss the taste. Please share some with me, my dear and respectable master. Waaah."

Her voice seemed to carry a greater sense of sincerity.

The two little hands that were hugging Leon's legs tightened their grip, holding on tightly and refusing to let go.

Iris smiled and stepped forward to forcibly pry open Macchiato's fingers: "Master Macchiato, don't worry, you also contributed, how could you not get a share? But before that, you can't disturb Lyon's work."

Her voice seemed unusually calm, with a hint of coldness in it.

Maqilu thought she had almost won over Iris, but she never expected Iris to be so ruthless towards her at this moment, and her heart turned cold.

"Macchiato, are you really going to do this?"

Leon glanced at Iris, who had regained her 'cold' demeanor, and found it amusing.

"Of course, my dear and respectable master, I really miss the taste of the roots of life."

You'd be crazy to miss it; Lyon guarantees that Macchiato has never eaten Life Root.

Based on Leon's understanding of the production rate of Life Roots, it's only possible to obtain them by being near someone with the protagonist's aura.

The main characters here are clearly Iris and Britta.

"Alright, since you put in a lot of effort just now, I'll save you a share."

"That's wonderful, you really are the most beloved and respectable master."

Macchiato almost jumped up.

"Don't just sit there. There should be some flower buds or fruits inside the tree canopy. Collect them all; they're all good stuff."

"Good Le!"

Besides the life-giving roots, the pseudo-wisdom tree has quite a few tender roots, which, if collected, would weigh at least two or three hundred pounds.

Although the Dietary Guidelines did not mention the effects of this thing, Leon's years of experience eating monsters told him that these things should be edible.

As for those old tree roots and vines, they can only be used to make monster equipment.

Considering the large quantity, it could probably sell for several hundred gold coins. However, it's not impossible, after all, it's a rare and powerful plant-type monster.

Of course, due to the large quantity, it would be troublesome to carry it around, but that's not a problem.

"Never mind, let's get started. It's a pity there's no magician in the team..."

Leon had a sudden thought: handing it over to Macchiato to refine into a life puppet to enhance the team's combat power seemed like a good option.

"Macchiato, if you remove 30% of these remaining monster bodies, can you create an alchemical golem?"

"Of course, I am a witch! Alchemy is like child's play to me, but even if it's child's play, my fees are not cheap."

Maqilu rubbed her index finger and thumb together, giving him a knowing look.

"Very good, then this important task is entrusted to you. As a reward, you can get a larger share of the Life Roots."

Lyon pointed to a section of tree trunk that had been divided up on the ground and some old vines that had been cut off.

Ma Qilu's eyes lit up, and her eyebrows curved upwards:

"I really can't do anything with you, but since it's my dear and venerable master's request, I'll reluctantly show you what it means to be a rare professional witch! Behold my superb skills!"

……

The life-giving roots were quickly divided into seven parts of different proportions and distributed to everyone.

This was Leon's division based on everyone's contributions in the battle. Iris and Leon each received the largest share, as they were key to the battle, each contributing 18%. Berylita came in second with 16%, as her intermediate magic basically controlled the entire battlefield. Macchiato came in third with 15%, as she contributed her wand, the self-destructing cursed snake, and the subsequent life alchemy.

Those who made the biggest contributions were mostly fourth-order, which is reasonable.

The remaining 33% was divided among the other four knights. Karl received a slightly larger share, about 10%, as he was the main tank. Bovary received about 8%, and Milo and Mark each received 7.5%. No one objected (except for Milo, who habitually complained a few times).

Everyone knows what this thing is used for.

The moment they received their portions, everyone devoured them, wolfing them down without exception.

Even though Britta, who is known for her holy and solemn style, appears to be eating elegantly in small bites, the way she is frequently putting food into her mouth clearly shows that she cannot resist her body's instincts and craves this food.

Macchiato and Elizabeth are kindred spirits and are both foodies among foodies, so they naturally don't care about their image at this moment.

The moment Leon bit into the root of life, he immediately felt a boom in his head!

No joke, it really was a loud bang, and a large amount of fresh, tender juice burst out, flowing in my mouth and sliding down my esophagus with each swallow, instantly nourishing my body and soul.

Comfortable!

Although it was divided into many portions, the feeling of fullness this time was still much stronger than when we attacked the man-eating flower last time.

Lyon knew that this was a difference in the levels of life.

Tier 5 Powerful is, in a sense, very close to the mature form of a powerful monster.

【主要屬性：生命力56/魔力量60/體力42/力量42/敏捷49】

Vitality increased by 8 points in one go!

This terrifying growth.

With his attributes exceeding 50, Leon's current HP is comparable to that of a powerful second-tier monster or a seasoned fourth-tier human.

Starting from Rank 4, resources become more abundant, allowing players to encounter more powerful monsters. Therefore, generally speaking, successful Rank 4 veterans are not bound by the limits of conventional attributes.

Only newly promoted humans to rank four experience that awkward situation where their primary attribute exceeds 40, but their secondary attribute doesn't even reach 40 points.

Other long-lived species generally have 50 or 60 points in their main attribute when they break through to the fourth rank. Some even approach the double attribute limit, reaching 70 or 80 points. However, those like Iris, who reach over 90 points of magic power upon breaking through, are rare.

However, according to Iris's original storyline, even if she breaks through to the fourth rank, her main attribute will only be around 70 or 80 points at most.

These changes are entirely due to Leon's early intervention in her development.

Even Berylita's magical power and physical strength have grown significantly since before the main storyline began.

Chapter 130 This is my advice to the Holy Maiden.

Leon looked at everyone and found that everyone's complexion was incredibly good, giving them a refreshed feeling.

It seems that this wave of life roots and tendrils has basically succeeded in helping everyone break through their original life limits.

The Vitality attribute is also very interesting. It is related to physical strength, but more importantly, it represents the body's ability to recover from injuries and its resistance to diseases (such as resistance to curses, germs, toxins, and inflammation).

It cannot increase the total length of life, but it can improve the quality of life.

In addition, if your vitality is high enough, your stamina recovery speed will also be improved.

"It seems that everyone can clearly feel the changes brought about by this thing."

"Of course, Your Excellency. The life root of a fifth-tier plant-type monster is from a powerful monster. It's a treasure, several levels more precious than the meat of other monsters. To be honest, eating it like this feels like a dream."

Bovary echoed Lyon's words.

That's true. Among all existing food items, the Life Root has the most obvious and immediate effect on improving attributes.

Moreover, it can basically ignore rank restrictions and force upgrades.

You can feel a noticeable change after just one bite.

Although it cannot directly increase physical strength and magical power, the changes are still very obvious, giving people a wonderful feeling that their bodies have been cleansed of a lot of impurities and have gained a lot of vitality.

Unlike other monster meat, it takes a long time to feel like your body has become stronger.

The meat of powerful monsters falls somewhere in between. Eating it can make you feel slightly stronger, though it might be an illusion. But if you eat more, the effect will be more noticeable.

Eating too much can allow adventurers to transcend class limitations and gain higher attributes.

This is why adventurers are obsessed with powerful monster meat and hate ordinary monster meat.

But Leon knew that the growth effect of ordinary monster meat might not be much worse; it just required finding the right part of the body.

Of course, once an attribute reaches its rank limit, the improvement will become slower and slower, and the meat of powerful monsters is generally much better than that of ordinary meat.

However, no matter how much you eat, you will eventually reach your professional limit and growth will gradually plateau.

This falls under the category of diminishing marginal utility, and Lyon also felt that he had almost reached the limit of his attributes, so he had to get promoted and find a new job as soon as possible.

By this time, the spoils had been mostly collected.

Leon left behind about 300 pounds of tender roots and some newly sprouted needles. He kept two or three tenths of the old, inedible trunks, vines, and hard, iron-like pine needles to forge new weapons later. The rest was left for Macchiato to make life alchemy golems.

Although this item has a high casualty rate, it can undoubtedly become a very useful meat shield. If used properly, it can greatly improve the efficiency of defeating powerful monsters.

In addition, there were some monster skeletons left behind by the False Tree of Wisdom, and equipment left behind by other adventurers on the battlefield.

After some careful selection, I found the teeth and claws of three types of fifth-tier monsters, which can be considered a success.

After all, it's a fifth-tier monster, so its value is still quite good.

Everything else was basically a mess.

In addition, Leon found his second-tier magic sword, which he had been forced to discard last time, among these miscellaneous items. It was so corroded that even its own mother probably wouldn't recognize it; it looked like a large whip that had been squeezed dry.

The three-tiered short sword I just used to locate the core of the intelligence has also developed more corrosion marks and lost at least 30% of its durability.

This pseudo-wisdom tree is really not picky about food.

At this point, Machiru had already drawn a rather large, complex six-pointed magic circle on the ground, about thirty meters in diameter.

That is, four six-pointed star arrays were superimposed, and each point was filled with bottles and jars, which were the Macchiato's own reserve materials.

Other items used on-site included pine needles and vines from the pseudo-wisdom tree.

Lyon was very interested in watching and learning, and while manipulating earth magic to dig a hole in the corner of the valley, he carefully observed Machiru's actions.

After digging out a cave that could be used for temporary hiding, he planned to cook a soup from the tender roots and pine needles of the False Wisdom Tree, and then save some to dry and make items for restoration.

Based on his experience, eating these fresh, tender tree roots and pine needles should also increase his attributes.

The other knights were sent to the outer perimeter to keep watch and prevent monsters from attacking while Machiru was casting her spell.

Macchiato took back the fourth-order wand from Iris's hand, ignoring the disappointment on Iris's face, and began to chant a spell.

Lyon listened carefully to Macchiato's lyrics and found that they were all relatively easy to understand.

In other words, it means to respectfully request Hades, the god of the underworld, to change the life or death of the things before them and to provide specific indicators of the transformation.

After listening for a while, Lyon roughly understood that these life alchemy spells all had a pre-set transformation framework.

If it is a plant-type monster, it will be transformed into a vine-type alchemical golem that can be flexibly controlled.
