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

"Hmph, after all, in the eyes of those scumbags, someone like me is only worth this much."

Lynn gave Fiona a strange look upon hearing this:

"Are you that self-aware?"

"Shut up." Fiona glared at Lynn fiercely. "Whose side are you on anyway?"

"Stand on the side of bystanders." Lynn breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Fiona could still curse.

If the person still looks energetic and hasn't been swayed by the illusion's words, then things will be much easier!

Lilia looked distressed: "Am I really that untrustworthy?"

At this moment, Lynn kindly reminded him, "You forgot to mention your purpose and the benefits you want."

"But judging from your expression, you probably won't say it."

Upon hearing this, Lilya gave Lynn a strange look, then licked her lips and said:

"That's true~"

"Always hiding the consequences, it's really hard to trust this stubborn little lion."

"In that case, they'll have to find another way."

"Are you trying to kidnap me to threaten Fiona?" Lynn calmly pointed to himself and said, "Don't let my appearance fool you, I can run pretty fast!"

Lilia looked at Lynn in surprise: "You're already planning to run away before we've even made a move?"

Lynn said as he backed away, "What else can we do?"

"As a novice adventurer with little combat ability, getting involved in your battle with Fiona would only be a hindrance."

"In that case, is it hard to understand why I would run out and call for help?"

As Lynn was speaking, he had already pushed the stairs to the corner.

Seeing this, Lilia raised her head, as if she wanted to do something.

However, before that, Fiona had already cleverly positioned herself between Lynn and Lilia's lines of sight.

At this moment, the crescent moon stigmata between Fiona's brows began to flicker:

"Why don't you try to make a move on him right under my nose?"

"Or... how about you take a gamble and see if I'll take the opportunity to ambush you while you're attacking him?"

Lilia smiled upon hearing this: "It's actually this kind of betting game?"

“Interesting~” Lily narrowed her eyes, concealing the bright heart deep in her pupils: “Then I’ll have to give it a try.”

next moment,

Lilia transformed into a series of afterimages and charged towards Lynn.

Having anticipated the attack, Lynn immediately slipped away and jumped off the steps.

At that moment, a violent tremor came from the steps behind Lynn, as if some elephants were colliding in the stairwell.

Seeing this, Lynn glanced back at the dusty stairwell and clicked his tongue, saying:

"Although I had guessed that my attributes might not be enough to deal with Hero-level opponents, I didn't expect it to be really not enough!"

After grumbling, Lynn decisively turned and left.

He rushed down the stairs to the Magic Mirror Corridor, went straight to Old Ody's collection room, and pressed the magic mirror on it.

A beep!

The notification sound of the failed verification of the Holy Mark came from the Magic Mirror.

Lynn was taken aback when she saw this.

Because the verification of the stigmata showed that the storage room was empty, Lynn was told not to trespass.

"Old Oddi isn't here?"

Where did he go?

Lynn paused for a moment, turned his head to look around, and then saw another set of steps leading to the upper level.

"Damn, could it be that the old man rushed up through another passage to find me?"

Realizing this, Lynn immediately prepared to run back.

Since he can't find Old Ody to team up with, teaming up with Fiona is just as good.

With his current attributes, he couldn't defeat a hero-level adventurer in a head-on battle, but Lynn didn't believe he couldn't even harass them.

Of course, before that, Lynn had to do one thing first.

That means using your free skill points to level up the 'Dragon of Knowledge' skill.

Although this would mean missing out on a level 10 fusion skill opportunity, Lynn couldn't worry about that now.

'System, open my panel and allocate all my skill points to the Dragon of Knowledge.'

Just as Lynn was mentally preparing to give the order, a familiar voice rang out:

"Lynn, what are you doing here? Where's Fiona?"

Lynn was taken aback.

The person who arrived was Seria.

She looked like she was rushing over; her forehead was covered in sweat as she ran down the stairs, her white skirt hem dusted with dust from her hurried pace.

At that moment, Lynn subconsciously said:

"Why are you here?"

“Never mind how I got here.” Celia strode down the steps, saying as she went, “I just confirmed something: the Phantom’s real target is Fiona!”

"Where is Fiona now? Isn't she with you?"

Upon hearing this, Lynn immediately pointed to another passage:

"She was dragging a phantom mask through another passage."

Upon hearing this, Seria's expression immediately changed.

Chapter 76 How Can You Be So Easily Fooled? (Fifth Update)

"She went to stall Huanmian?"

Celia's face turned ugly:

"Oh no, Fiona's straightforward personality isn't good at dealing with enemies like Phantom."

"I have to go and support her."

As she spoke, Celia pulled a skill stone from her pocket and tossed it towards Lynn:

"These are the skill stones I promised you. Use them while you can, I'm off to support Fiona!"

"After you use the skill stone, hurry up and notify the guild members to call the military police over!"

Upon seeing the skill stone that had been thrown at him, Lynn's remaining wariness vanished instantly.

He immediately reached out and caught the skill stone, then affixed it to the stigmata:

"I know what to do."

"Also, thank you, Seria!!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

The notification sound of the Stigmata System rang in Lynn's mind.

[Learned the skill 'Luminous Dragon Lv1'.]

Meanwhile, the skill system also joined in the fun.

The newly added skill conflicts with 'Learned Dragon'. Should 20 skill points be consumed to balance the bloodline?

Lynn was stunned when he saw the two system notification sounds that suddenly popped up.

Just then, 'Seria,' who was in a hurry to leave, suddenly stopped, turned her face to the side, and looked at Lynn with a 'strange' smile:

"Oh dear~~"

"How could you be so easily fooled, bro?"

"You actually believed me right away!"

Lynn's expression froze instantly.

He looked at 'Seria' in front of him, watching her face gradually transform into 'Lilia's' likeness, and then twitched the corner of his mouth:

"You really are a persistent ghost, Phantom Mask!"

"Just call me 'Lilia'."

Lilia, holding a staff just like Celia's, said with a smile:

"But you, young man, are a really strange child."

"Having accepted that level of dragon blood, you don't even have the slightest rejection reaction now~~"

As Lilya said this, she lowered her eyes and looked at Lynn with a half-smile:

"This is not something an ordinary person can do."

Upon hearing Lilya's sinister voice, Lynn expressionlessly and instantly refined all his free attribute points and skill points!

-----------------

At the same time, in Rock Town, inside the alchemy workshop.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The pure white sphere of light emitted rays of light, like lasers, which shot towards the petite figure in front of her.

Faced with that energy ray that had no attributes but moved at an incredible speed, as if it had abandoned everything for the sake of attack speed.

Lilia quickly dispersed her form, transforming herself into wisps of black mist.

Puff puff puff!

The pure white rays pierced through the black fog, leaving behind holes the size of fists.

At this moment, Lilia, who had barely avoided the beam that was aimed directly at her vitals, reassembled herself, then raised her head and looked down at the silver-haired elf in mid-air, who was looking down at her with her chin held high. She met those cold and ruthless sky-blue eyes.

"You are weaker than I imagined."

High above, the fairy princess, who had maintained a strong hold on Lilia throughout, issued a cold pronouncement:

"It's because the 'illusion mask' was separated."

Lilia's expression froze upon hearing this. Finally, she raised her hand and said:

"Really!"

"Can you elves who love studying humans be so annoying?"

"They even know so much about the Phantom Clan's racial skill 'Illusion Mask'..."

"We are an endangered race!!"

"Elves are a race that remembers history."

Celia, expressionless, looked down at Lilia from her elevated position.

"We will record the history of every race in this world."

"This is the master of history, the expectation of the goddess of nature when she created the fairies."

Upon hearing this, Lilya scratched her cheek, glancing at the twelve magical orbs coiled around Celia, clearly gathering power.

"Honestly, I never expected to be given a history lesson at a time like this."

"Of course, compared to going to class, the worst thing is still..."

Lilia lowered her hands and looked solemnly at Celia in front of her:
