Their commission was suspicious.

Sylvia did not doubt Chen Luo's words. If Chen Luo really wanted to lie, he could have just lied from the beginning, since she couldn't see through it anyway.

"But what does 'disappear' mean?"

"Even within the Abyss Passage, Isamara is considered special. For some unknown reason, Isamara has been repelled by the Abyss Passage since she arrived. Any movement could shorten her lifespan. Isamara even stayed on a church pew without moving for a month and a half because of this."

"Wow."

"Perhaps that's why Isamara doesn't seem to like being too far away from me."

"I understand."

Sylvia didn't understand.

Sylvia didn't know what the connection was between Isamara staying in one place for a month and Isamara liking to stay by Chen Luo's side, but Sylvia couldn't bring herself to say it.

After all, even I couldn't stay on a church pew for over a month without moving. Isamara is so pitiful.

"And it was precisely because of that unknown reason that even though I brought Isamara out after returning from the abyss passage last time, I still didn't show Isamara to anyone. Instead, I used a magical item that Liu Huaixi found to nurture Isamara after she was enhanced by the River God's power, and she has only now fully recovered."

“Isamara is so pitiful. Do you need me to look for an item in the church’s treasury that can remove this shadow curse?” Sylvia stood up, sat at the edge of the shadow, and asked Isamara.

Sylvia even considered taking Isamara's hand and seeing if she could use her abilities to remove the curse, but touching her so soon after meeting her might be a bit presumptuous.

“There’s no need to worry about that. I can remove the Shadow Curse for Isamara. It’s just that Isamara used to be an aquatic creature, so she prefers a cool and damp environment and isn’t very adapted to the land environment. So after I removed the Shadow Curse, she put it back on,” Chen Luo said, glancing to his left.

Isamara turned her head and looked at Sylvia sitting next to her with puffed-out cheeks.

Damn it, they actually disturbed me and Luo Luo.

However, due to the potential impact, Isamara still left Chen Luo's side and sat in the center of the shadows.

This shadow curse doesn't necessarily have to radiate outwards from Isamara as the center.

Just like now, Isamara is clearly clinging tightly to Chen Luo's arm in the shadow, but to outsiders, Isamara should be sitting in the very center of the shadow, which is about two meters wide, and some distance away from Chen Luo.

However, Isamara could still easily sense Sylvia's concern for her, so she only felt a little regretful about not being able to hold Lolo anymore, but she didn't complain.

“But wearing this Shadow Curse is quite troublesome, isn’t it? I remember there’s something called the Water Spirit Orb in the church… With my current S-rank talent, I should be able to borrow it from the church’s treasury. After I leave the leased area, Lolo, you can use your River God ability to summon two gold and silver ones, and I’ll return them.” Sylvia revealed a sly smile.

For Sylvia, taking something from the church, copying it, and then returning it was somewhat taboo.

But the taboo also gave Sylvia, this obedient girl, a strange sense of pleasure.

Of course, Sylvia did this without affecting the church's wealth.

Sylvia carefully examined Chen Luo's river god ability and found that summoning gold and silver items would not damage the original items.

However, for Sylvia, taking just one Water Spirit Orb was already bold enough.

[It's too small; its scope is too narrow.]

“No need. I can control the Shadow Curse, though I haven’t mastered it yet. Manifesting my physical form will cause the Shadow Curse to temporarily inflate.” Isamara declined Sylvia’s offer.

Isamara's expanding shadow curse gradually contracted, eventually reducing the shadow to the point where it tightly enveloped Isamara's body again.

"..."

For some reason, Chen Luo felt that Isamara was even more attractive this way.

As for the claim that revealing her form would cause the Shadow Curse to expand temporarily, that was obviously false. However, Chen Luo was quite pleased to see Isamara able to tell a lie that was in his favor without batting an eye.

Lying isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It's like a fashion blogger openly telling a PhD that they're not good at dressing up, so they hope the PhD will go shopping with them.

This isn't lying, this is girlfriend power!

Anyway, Isamara's lies won't hurt anyone, so let her be.

But from whom did Isamara learn to lie?

[Think about it carefully. Ever since Isamara was killed by Skadi and her group and her consciousness was transferred to Skadi, she has had two hosts: Skadi and you, who nurtured her soul using your sea of ​​consciousness.]

[Or... can you guess who Isamara learned bad habits from?]

"..."

Chen Luo remained expressionless.

It must be Skadi!

Skadi? Ha, Skadi isn't even as cunning as Isamarado now!

"Ok?"

Chen Luo frowned.

"I think Isamara must have been corrupted by me," the humanized plugin immediately said.

"Hmm." Chen Luo slowly relaxed his furrowed brows.

“Isamara, if you encounter any difficulties in real life in the future, you can always talk to me. And let me tell you, girls shouldn't always stick close to boys, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings,” Sylvia said to Isamara while holding her left hand.

Sylvia gave this reminder because she noticed that Isamara had been trying to move closer to Chen Luo after she brought the shadow back to a close-up position.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?" Isamara tilted her head.

"Won't guys misunderstand and think you like him?"

"But I just like Luo Luo."

"what?"

I really like one of Sylvia's lines: "Huh?"

Is it even possible to say something like that?

Although Sylvia was born and raised in the West, a person's talent often reflects their personality. Sylvia herself is quite conservative, so much so that after realizing that Liu Huaixi might have seen through her thoughts, she even considered using the Holy Light Hammer to strike Liu Huaixi on the head, hoping to make him forget something.

It would be impossible for Sylvia to say such a thing without batting an eye.

Seeing Sylvia's surprise, Isamara turned to look at Chen Luo.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[What you eat is what you get]: sneak into the village, don't even bother firing a shot!

Reward: 100 Primogems

“Isamara is not human, but an aquatic being. And perhaps because I helped heal her, Isamara’s understanding of the word ‘like’ is different from that of humans,” Chen Luo explained.

Who knows why Isamara would issue such a request?

Why does Isamara prefer to develop her character secretly?

“Oh.” Sylvia nodded thoughtfully.

"Ah, that was a really good night's sleep." The fifth voice rang out in Chen Luo's house. The Herrscher of Knowledge flew out of the Valkyrie's dormitory and stretched.

"Hey, Isamara, you're finally out!" Xiao Shi greeted Isamara when he saw her.

"Hmm." Isamara nodded gently, and then the shadowy curse around her slowly spread until it engulfed half of Chen Luo's body again.

“The Golden Shadow Curse is somewhat out of control.” Isamara said, then fell silent.

"The Golden Shadow Curse, huh? That makes sense." Xiao Shi nodded.

"..." Chen Luo stared intently ahead, then felt someone grab his arm from the shadows.

And there was something slightly warm and soft, gently pressed against the half of Chen Luo's face that was covered by shadow.

【mua!】

[Hmm, Isamara seemed particularly interested when Xiao Shi was around.]

"..."

So who exactly corrupted Isamara?

Chapter 1352 Sylvia's Too-Free Gift

"Congratulations on becoming an S-rank talent user," the Herrscher of Knowledge said, standing in front of Sylvia.

"Thank you! You're the first one to congratulate me." After saying that, Sylvia gave Chen Luo a somewhat resentful look.

"I just didn't have time, there were a lot of unexpected things happening just now. Congratulations on becoming an S-level talent user." Chen Luo smiled sheepishly.

For Chen Luo, becoming an S-rank talent user seemed to have become commonplace, which was why he had forgotten about it. Is it too late to catch up now?

"I'll forgive you since you helped me prepare the medicine and transport it back and forth." Sylvia said, her face beaming with joy.

[Ding! Mission complete]

[Ding! Mission complete]

The reward for making Sylvia an S-class talent has been long overdue.

"Lolo, is there anything you wish for? Just tell me, and I'll try my best to fulfill it," Sylvia assured her, patting her chest.

Sylvia did not take Chen Luo's help in asking Raphael for blessings and special promotion materials, nor did she take his personal preparation of the potion for granted. Sylvia had long hoped to become an S-class talent.

Who would refuse to become an S-class talent?

This is especially true for Sylvia, who has always been at the top of the A-level talent pool but doesn't know how to break through.

If we consider breakthroughs in talent as a form of cultivation in the East, then Chen Luo is the one who bestowed the grace of enlightenment upon us.

“Any wish is welcome,” Sylvia added at the end.

"I've always been the one granting wishes to others, but now that someone's offering to grant me one, I'm at a loss for what to wish for." Looking at Sylvia, whose eyes were sparkling with excitement, Chen Luo couldn't bear to refuse, yet he didn't know what wish to make.

"What is it? What if you bring it up and I can help you make it happen? It's not illegal to try."

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Wish to grant someone else's wish]: Make a wish, young man, anything is possible.

Reward: 300 Primogems + 20 points of Sylvia's affection.

"This... alright, let me think about it." Chen Luo was taken aback when he saw the request.

Chen Luo really didn't expect there to be such a naive person in this day and age, but Chen Luo liked him.

[Seriously, I never imagined that these days there would be girls who practically wrap themselves up in a gift box and present themselves as a Christmas present. Why don't you try making that wish?]

Go! Go! Go.

Chen Luo was quite excited to finally receive payment from someone else.

Moreover, it's amazing that someone can help you fulfill your wish while also completing a request.

This is such a freebie! Damn it! I had absolutely no chance to do anything!

"What do you mean by 'giving away for free'? This is called repaying kindness!" Chen Luo was somewhat dissatisfied with the humanized plugin's description.

Sylvia could only help Chen Luo fulfill a limited number of wishes, and Chen Luo could basically obtain those wishes through his own efforts, whether it was people, hearts, or precious treasures.

However, if Chen Luo doesn't make a request, Sylvia will probably be uneasy for a long time.

To use a more realistic analogy, Sylvia is the kind of person who, if she owes someone money, will definitely pay it back as soon as she has the money.

Such people easily gain the trust of others.

Such people rarely betray the trust of others. The more Chen Luo looked at Sylvia, the more satisfied he became. Sylvia was truly a suitable friend.

Wake up! You want to be her friend, but she doesn't even want you to. Does she mean she wants you to be her friend?

“It’s just a wish, why think about it for so long? Lolo, don’t you usually have any wishes? Like money, cherished items, or even people you like…” Sylvia’s voice trailed off.

“I mean, like Little Isaac…” Sylvia quickly explained after seeing the Herrscher of Knowledge looking at her and Isamara “may” be looking at her.

"Okay, Yvette it is."

"what?"

Chen Luo really liked Sylvia's comment, "Huh?"

After all, there are fewer and fewer innocent people like this around Chen Luo. Sylvia, who is so innocent and easily surprised, and who has not yet experienced the vastness of the world, is the one who is most likely to ask soul-searching questions.

After all that talk, you're just looking for amusement, aren't you?

"Just kidding, I'm sorry Sylvia, I really can't think of anything to wish for. Let me think about it some more."

"Oh." Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief once again.

If Chen Luo really insists on this wish, then Sylvia will be in a difficult position.
