If everyone becomes an adventurer, who will put in the effort themselves?

Suddenly, a line of text appeared on the brown document.

[No. 22 Rongyao Road, Dongda Street. Outside of weekdays, report to the bartender 'Xiao Lin'.]

Lynn read the message and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Outside of weekdays? Looking at it that way, it seems like this evening would be a good time?

"Are you done? If you are, go and complete the mission." Marco waved his hand and said, "After you accept the mission, you can see the message on the official announcement's magic mirror. Remember to go there early so they don't send you a letter urging you to complete it."

Lynn raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this, nodded, and then turned to look at Fiona.

At this moment, Fiona scratched her cheek and pointed to Duncan, who was being treated by Odelle:

"I may have to stay here for a while."

After saying that, Fiona felt it wouldn't be right to leave Lynn behind, so she stood up abruptly:

"I'll go with you."

"There's no need to go through all that trouble."

At that moment, on the second floor, directly opposite the bar railing, Lilia, wearing a mask, smiled and said:

"I'll stay with Lynn. As for Feifei, you can stay here and do whatever you want."

Upon hearing that Lilia was going to go with Lynn, Fiona breathed a sigh of relief and said with considerable reassurance:

"Then it's up to you."

Seeing his 'fiancée' hand her man over to Lilia's care, Marco, who was standing at the bar, immediately stopped flipping through the documents and gave Fiona a subtle look.

How can someone actually help their love rival? Are they that carefree?

Seeing that Lilia intended to follow, Lynn nodded slightly, tacitly acknowledging this approach.

After all, he happened to have some questions for Lilya.

The two exchanged a knowing glance, and then walked out of the six-story building where the Giant Protection Association was located.

After leaving the Giant Protection Association, Lynn looked at the bustling commercial street in front of him, thought for a moment, and then led Lilia to a side alley.

Seeing this, Lilya raised an eyebrow slightly, but quickened her pace to catch up:

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly bring me to this alley?"

"Could it be that you're upset because I didn't come out to 'protect' you? So you brought me to this alley to whip you?"

Just as Lilya was teasing Lynn, Lynn hesitated for a few seconds before asking:

"When you fought me in Rock Town, why didn't you use a move like Heroic Domain?"

"Don't you want to?"

At this moment, Lilia, who had been smiling, froze on the spot.

Only after several seconds did Lilia say quietly:

"Lynn, it's a real shame you don't learn some provocative skills!"

Chapter 108 Let's embark on the path of dual cultivation!

"It seems my words have pierced the depths of your soul?"

Seeing Lilia complaining, Lynn couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"Please don't flatter yourself; what happened before was just an accident."

Lilia paused after saying this, then complained in a coquettish tone:

"It's only when Lynn asks me that I'll consider whether or not to explain the reason. If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't even bother to answer."

Afterwards, Lily looked around to make sure no one was there, then sighed and said:

"In fact, at that time, it wasn't that I didn't want to use it, but that I couldn't."

Lilia helplessly shrugged:

"Under normal circumstances, Phantom can only create three 'masks' with combat capabilities when it is below the level of a demigod."

"Because the Stigmata originates from the Stigmata and has a special form of existence, only one of my masks can receive the blessing of the Stigmata."

"The Mask with the Stigmata, to be honest, is my strongest fighting force while maintaining the Mask state."

"To ensure the success of our attack, I arranged for my mask to go to Seria."

"After all, in my opinion, it's more than enough to deal with a lion-beast who can only maintain his hero-level combat power by going berserk and a novice adventurer who is still struggling in the game."

"On the other hand, Seria's side, because of her elven royal lineage and her renowned genius, naturally needs to use its strongest forces to buy time, lest she break through my illusion and quickly return to reinforce me."

“In fact, my thinking is not wrong, Celia is indeed the strongest among you.”

"What I didn't expect was that she would be so strong that even my strongest mask couldn't escape her and had to commit suicide to avoid locking onto her true form."

By this point, Lilia was already full of complaints:

"Moreover, who would have thought that you would possess basic attributes comparable to a hero even when you were a novice adventurer?"

"If I had known this earlier, I should have sent the masked man with the stigmata to deal with you."

"In that case, activating the Holy Mark Domain directly will suppress your speed, giving us time to capture and seize you."

Lilia paused for a moment when she said this.

After capturing Lynn, what happens? They still have to trick him into signing a contract with them.

In this situation, it seems that she is still in a position where she needs help from others, and she also faces the added hostility of an elf princess and a runaway orc princess.

Thinking about it carefully, the situation doesn't seem to be much better than it is now.

"But then again, even if things turned out that way, it doesn't seem to be much different from how things are now?"

"There should be some difference, right?" Lynn looked over curiously. "For example, you won't lose the mask with the Holy Mark."

After speaking, Lynn hesitated for a moment and asked, "Won't this affect your combat capabilities?"

Lilia paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said:

"That's true, it means you can't use the power of the Holy Mark for about thirty days..."

"In our view, this is the time for the Holy Mark to re-form."

After explaining all this, Lilia looked at Lynn curiously:

"You seem quite interested in the realm of Stigmata?"

Lynn didn't hide her thoughts and nodded, saying:

"These so-called Stigmata Domains and Hero Domains are abilities that only appear after the Stigmata level is high, right?"

"I experienced it once before, and it is indeed a power that can easily put people in a passive position."

If he hadn't just seen Mary use a fire-attribute attack, and considering it wasn't a life-or-death battle, he would have taken the hit head-on and successfully counterattacked by relying on the Dragon Slayer magic's ability to devour flames.

If it were a life-or-death battle, Lynn wouldn't dare to directly confront it head-on.

Putting aside the fact that he is not yet familiar enough with dragon-slaying magic, even if he were, he wouldn't dare to gamble on whether he could withstand it.

After all, if they really can't hold on, then people will really die!

"The Stigmata Domain does indeed exert a great suppressive force on us in the bloodline direction."

Lilia agreed with Lynn's statement, but then added a consolation:

"However, at a higher bloodline level, there are some special characteristics that can temporarily and significantly enhance one's own attributes."

"So, using that kind of technique, adventurers from the bloodline direction aren't entirely unable to resist the suppression of the Holy Mark domain. Let's just say each has its own advantages and disadvantages?"

"A trait that greatly enhances attributes?" Lynn was somewhat surprised to hear this. "Do you mean the short burst of speed technique I used before?"

Lynn thought of the radiant glow he would receive after reaching the required level of his Lumen Dragon Bloodline.

Is that 50% speed-boosting technique how adventurers in the Bloodline faction counter the suppression of the Stigmata's domain?

"You're right, that's exactly your condition."

Lilia knows exactly what methods she has for adventurers who follow the bloodline path.

"Once the bloodline is explored to a certain extent, some special skills will be obtained."

"It could be a burst skill with strong offensive capabilities, the ability to forcibly control others, or a significant boost to a certain attribute."

"These bizarre and varied abilities are like a killer weapon for adventurers in the bloodline direction."

"On the other hand, there is not much change among adventurers who are pursuing the Holy Mark."

"Advanced adventurers automatically gain control over their aura and can freely manipulate their killing intent; elite adventurers automatically gain the Holy Mark attribute, which can be used temporarily to amplify their attacks."

"At the Hero level, the key is to use attributes to interfere with the surroundings and suppress nearby enemies with attributes."

Lilia explained the methods of adventurers following the bloodline and holy mark paths with great familiarity:

"Theoretically speaking, adventurers on the Sacred Mark path are strong in their stability. Once they reach that level, they will possess all the necessary abilities. Furthermore, because the path is fixed, participants are less likely to be overwhelmed by challenges."

"A top-tier hero-level character, combined with the Stigmata Domain, attribute enhancements, and matching skills to unleash their full potential, can reliably unleash more than 10 times their own attribute power."

Lynn's expression was very strange when he heard this. Why did this sound like the 'independent riding area' in the game?

However, can a top-tier hero-level weapon really unleash an amplitude ten times greater?

Thinking about it this way, his flowing light state only has 50% of the speed attribute amplitude, isn't that a bit too little?

Is it because the bloodline level is only 10?

"Of course, adventurers who follow the bloodline path also have advantages."

Lilia said this with a slightly annoyed tone:

“Someone like Sharna has a bloodline characteristic that can stably unleash more than 20 times the normal power in all five attributes. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be recognized by the succubus race as the woman with the best chance of gaining a foothold in the church.”

"However, some adventurers whose bloodlines are not properly excavated, or whose bloodlines are too special and for whom there is no precedent to refer to, can probably only increase their attributes by 3 to 8 times. This makes them weaker than those adventurers who focus on the Holy Mark, and they can only rely on higher base attributes to fight."

"However, overall, the top-tier hero-level heroes, whether in terms of bloodline or holy marks, don't differ too much in combat power."

Lily stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Lynn with a slight, suppressed laugh:

"The premise is that you don't end up like Mary, whom you just fought, who reached Hero level in bloodline while also leveling up her Stigmata to Hero level 60."

"If she's an 'all-rounder,' unless you can crush her in one area and end the battle quickly, once a weakness in that area is discovered, you'll most likely be dragged down by her all-around abilities."

“Marie?” Lynn exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the familiar name, “Is she that strong?”

Although Lynn admits that Mary is very strong, it's hard for Lynn not to see her as a 'normal' hero-level adventurer after he just tricked her with his candy trick!

Lillia looked at Lynn with a subtle expression, hands on her hips, and said:

"Lynn? Do you really think an adventurer who gets hit in the face head-on by an attack enhanced with the Fire Mark attribute by a Hero-level bloodline adventurer, and only suffers minor injuries, is some easy prey?"

Upon hearing Lilya's explanation, Lynn suddenly realized the problem.

Yes, after taking that full-force punch from him, which was also imbued with Mary's own fiery arm armor and finally hit her in the face, she was completely healed in less than a minute after being treated by Odelle?

At most, his face will look a little messy and he'll bleed a bit, but he's still a long way from being unable to fight.

With such limited resilience, if the fight drags on, Lynn's chances of losing are extremely high.

Is this the 'unparalleled power' brought about by training both the Stigmata and Bloodline directions to the Hero level?

Lynn suddenly realized that she could perhaps copy Mary's homework.

For no other reason than that Lynn also likes playing with buckets.

In games, going all-in on a single attribute is for showing off your skills, but in real life, who would risk their life just to show off?!

"Looks like you've got an idea?" Lilya said with amusement when she saw Lynn's expression. "You want to follow Mary's path too?"

"That's a road that even Sharna found difficult. Are you sure you really want to take it?"

Hearing Lillia's teasing remark, Lynn nonchalantly replied:

"Give it a try, it's free anyway."

The price of dual cultivation is simply that one cannot devote enough energy to either. However, Lynn did not expend too much energy on the bloodline direction. Therefore, his efforts in dual cultivation of the holy marks and bloodlines are similar to those of someone who specializes in only one area.

If that's the case, why not give it a try?
