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

Lynn then walked over slowly, looking at the 'Illusion' who had walked right into the trap with amusement.

At this critical juncture, Lilia hesitated and said:

"Guests, isn't the compensation amount a bit too much for five people?"

Lynn paused for a moment, then frowned and asked:

What do you mean?

"I mean... this will cost extra!"

Lilia raised her right hand and rubbed her index finger and thumb together, giving a gesture that is known worldwide.

Lynn remained silent upon seeing this.

Is this... something that requires additional payment?

"Enough with the boring tricks, Phantom."

Celia stood up, grabbed the staff lying beside her, and said coldly:

"Although I don't know your purpose in coming here, judging from your mental wavelength, you are now in your true form, right?"

"Sending your separated, almost combat-incapable main body here, even though I don't know what tricks you're up to, I'll kill you here. Your remaining masks will then be nothing to fear."

Seeing Celia raise her staff and point it at her, Lilia blinked and said:

Is it possible that... my true self came here to indicate that I'm looking for...?

"You think I'd believe you if you told me you were looking for a con artist?"

"An elf...is that narcissistic?" Lilia gave Celia a strange look, then pointed at Lynn and said, "I was clearly showing Lynn how to find the beast."

"To me?" Lynn looked at the two men in astonishment as they showed him the trembling N-shaped object.

“Of course it’s for you!” Lilia spread her hands, looking completely innocent. “A young, beautiful, cute, and sexy girl coming to the room of a young, energetic guy with his blood pumping at its peak in the middle of the night—what she’s going to do is pretty obvious, isn’t it?”

Lynn's face twitched slightly upon hearing this, and she said:

"I'm not interested in prostitutes."

Lily narrowed her eyes, a sly glint in her gaze:

"What if she's clean, unused, and only sexy to you?"

Lynn was stumped by this question.

Disguised as a public bus, but actually a brand new luxury car... This is indeed very perplexing.

"I am a man who needs security."

"I can draw up a contract, and you can set the terms."

Lilia suddenly stepped forward, getting closer to Lynn, while also glancing at Sia, who was lying motionless on the bed:

"Perfect timing, the Mona family, who are most skilled in notarization, are also here."

"Have her sign a mandatory contract, then you put that contract here like a collar..."

Lilia pointed to her smooth neck, her eyes brimming with desire:

"If we use this method, will it make you feel... safe?"

Lynn's eyelids twitched as he listened to Lilya's deliberately drawn-out, suggestive remarks.

“I can’t understand why you suddenly wanted to go to this extent.”

Lynn didn't ask Lilia this question; he didn't expect the guy who offered himself as a bedmate to tell the truth.

Besides, even if Lilia said it, he wouldn't believe it!

He asked this question to Sia and Seria, two experienced adventurers with broad knowledge.

Upon hearing Lynn's question, Celia frowned, deep in thought.

Sia, however, seemed unfazed by this situation and even offered a reminder to Seria, who was deep in thought:

"Just a friendly reminder, even in my opinion, Lynn's dragon blood purity is above average."

Upon hearing the keyword, Celia paused for a moment, then a look of realization dawned on her face:

"Your goal is Lynn's 'growth potential,' isn't it?"

Lilia paused for a moment upon hearing this, then glanced at Lynn, whose posture betrayed a hint of wariness, before licking her lips and saying:

“In times like these, a learned elf is truly reliable.”

Chapter 83 I ask you, would you be willing to be my dog? (Fourth update)

"Growth potential..." Lynn turned his head and looked at Seria.

That inquiring look pleased Celia, who had been a teacher.

"According to some information I have learned, although there are many ways to cultivate the 'phantom face' of the Phantom Clan, it generally follows a 'fundamental formula'."

Seria glanced at Lilia as she spoke, and said seriously:

"That is the 'authenticity of the mask'!"

At this point, Celia, as if possessed by a teacher, launched into a lecture:

"The Illusion skill is essentially a special kind of illusion."

"And the most important element in the construction of all illusions is realism."

"The foundation of illusion lies in the understanding of the details of real things."

"That's why most of the masks that Phantom possesses in combat are replicas of herself."

Seria narrowed her eyes and said with a serious expression:

"Because what Illusion knows best is herself, whom she can see and touch at any time."

"Therefore, the battle masks created by Illusion are often based on her own image."

"But that doesn't mean they can't make other people's masks."

Lynn understood what was going on and fixed his gaze on Lilia:

"You want to make my mask?"

Upon hearing this, Lilya said with a grin, "Can't I?"

"I provide the body, you provide the labor—isn't that your usual practice in Knightworth?"

As Lilia finished speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and tilted her head to say:

"Oh? I almost forgot, you were taken away by the Knightworth family later, you're not a pureblood."

Looking at Lilia, who was deliberately reminding Lynn that she wasn't entirely one of Knightworth's own, Sia raised an eyebrow slightly and said:

"I have a feeling that I've been provoked."

"She actually tried to seduce our little guy with her looks... Does she have no respect for us seniors?"

Upon hearing this, Lilia glanced at Sia, then narrowed her eyes and said with a playful smile:

“You dragonesses are all talk and no action when it comes to fooling children, unlike us succubi who are always practical.”

"Oh? That's interesting."

Seeing that Lilia had actually provoked her, Sia propped herself up on her elbows and sat up from the bed, smiling broadly as she said:

"How dare a mere insect bar its teeth at me?"

Lilia then said with a grin, "I only came in my main body, not all of the Masks."

"What if I were wearing a mask right next to the High Priestess, and then I reported to her that I had discovered a great secret of the Mona family, and then I died on the spot?"

"Do you think the Grand Secretary might be even slightly interested in you?"

Although Xia's smile remained unchanged upon hearing this, her eyes held a much more dangerous glint.

"The Mona family is not the kind of family that would accept threats."

Lilia's smile at this moment was strange:

“This is between Lynn and me. You’ve come here to cause trouble without my permission, so I have no choice but to play along.”

Seeing this, Lynn, who was standing to the side, crossed her arms with a subtle expression:

"You two just started arguing like that?"

Upon hearing Lynn's voice, Lilia immediately turned around, revealing a sweet smile:

"Ugh, there's this really annoying fallen angel!"

Seeing that sudden change in expression, Lynn felt a sense of bewilderment.

Just a few hours ago, this guy in front of me was the one who orchestrated Jeken's acquisition of the dragon's blood, coveted Fiona's identity, and wanted to capture him alive—his greatest enemy, the Evangelical Fellowship's leader 'Illusion'.

However, Lilia's current attitude gives the impression that she would immediately assume a position of resistance if Lynn were to pat her on the butt.

This style change is too drastic!

"Is my mask valuable?" Lynn couldn't help but ask Celia, who was standing next to him.

"Yes, even higher than you think."

Celia nodded and explained to Lynn:

"Masked's strength is not static."

"Her strength increases as the strength of the person she learns increases. In addition, if the strength of the chosen person increases, Phantom can also receive some growth points from them, thereby enhancing her own attributes."

"Therefore, Phantom Charm really likes to target some talented adventurers, using their growth to make herself stronger."

"And because some geniuses value honor, Phantoms will make some sacrifices in order to attach themselves to them."

"That's why they're called the purest succubi."

"Because..."

Lilia then chimed in with a chuckle, winking at Lynn and saying:

"How is she any different from those promiscuous human noblewomen who ruin their bodies before finding their ideal partner?"

"This is a grave taboo within the clan!"

"You know, when I was a child, the elders in my clan repeatedly told us that we must never give ourselves away like noblewomen of the human race."

Looking at Lilya's proud expression, a question suddenly came to Lynn's mind.

Just how promiscuous are these human noblewomen?

Why does it seem like the reputation, from Old Kohler to succubi like Phantom, is all negative?

However, while Lynn was curious about the human noblewomen, she was more concerned about Lilia's situation:

"So, she actually doesn't seem to care about me anymore?"

If lust is considered hostile, then Lynn has nothing to say.

He was hostile to all the women present.

“…”

Seria remained silent upon hearing this.

Why aren't you saying anything?

At this moment, Celia glanced at Lynn, a hint of apology in her sky-blue eyes:

"My goal is to eliminate the threat she poses to Fiona."

"So for me, whether it's killing her or Lynn reaching an agreement with her, as long as Fiona's situation isn't leaked, I can accept it."

"Therefore, I am not qualified to answer your question."

"After all, given the circumstances, getting her to sign the contract voluntarily and attach her future to you is the safest strategy to eliminate the threat."

After speaking, Celia paused, then added:

"After all, I can't guarantee that she wasn't wearing a mask and was actually by the side of the Archbishop of the Evangelical Fellowship."
