Chapter 24: A Power Not of This World God's Favorite Finds Himself...
When Salis walked into the tent, she saw steam rising from the cup and a girl with blonde hair and red eyes sitting quietly beside it. When she saw her coming, the corners of the girl's mouth rose slightly.
Salis pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands and lowered her head: "Greetings, Miss."
Vifiya nodded: "Ms. Salis, please sit down."
After Salis sat down, Neve refilled the cup in front of her with tea.
White smoke continued to rise from the cup. Salis nodded to Neve to express her gratitude. Her eyes fell on Vifiya and she said, "Miss Vifiya, could you please pass a message to Isidore and Kaharun? If possible, I would like to meet them here."
Weifeiya immediately understood what she meant. She instructed Nifu, "Nifu, go ahead and take a look outside."
Neve didn't suspect anything. After bowing to Vifia, she walked towards the tent entrance swiftly. When Neve's figure disappeared, Salis snapped her fingers.
"This is soundproof magic." Salis's gaze suddenly fell on the fingertips of Vifiya's right hand for a brief moment, so fast that Vifiya thought it was an illusion.
Salis didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "You've seen God."
She mentioned it again, but this time it wasn't a question.
Vifiya raised her eyes, but there was no emotion in them. Her spirit, which had been shaken by the impact at the foot of the cliff, had calmed down. She was about to speak when she suddenly remembered Salis's request for her trust. She felt the touch of the silver bracelet on her right wrist. For a moment, she took back the words that were about to be spoken and changed her direction: "Yes."
Salis's eyes were slightly surprised when she heard this, as if she didn't expect her to answer so directly. At the same time, she also realized that this was a small test of Vifiya's trust in her.
She continued to ask: "How many times?"
Vifiya stared into her eyes, with an imperceptible scrutiny in her eyes, but she still spoke honestly: "Twice."
Upon hearing this, Salis fell silent, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.
Vifiya was not in a hurry. She picked up the cup on the table, blew gently on the rim of the cup to cool it down, and took a sip.
The crisp sound of putting down the cup brought Salis back to her senses.
But Vephia didn't give her the chance to speak first: "You have also seen God, right?"
It was clearly a question, but the meaning behind it was firm and decisive. Salis hadn't expected her to ask this out of the blue, but she had no reason to hide the answer from her: "I guess so."
And then, "Be careful what gods you see."
This sentence contained too much information, and Vifiya was unable to react for a moment.
The goddess is the god revered by this world and the only righteous god recognized by mankind.
Vifiya's eyes were on Salis's face, and seeing the look on her face, she knew exactly what she was talking about.
"Why?"
Salis lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then spoke carefully: "You are the focus of attention."
Although she had some guesses, Vifiya still felt uncomfortable in her heart. The god who had done nothing in the past suddenly appeared in this life.
Combined with God's previous behavior, if what Salis said is true, then everything makes sense.
What was worthy of God's attention about her? It was, of course, because she was not of this world.
A dark light flashed across Vifiya's red pupils, then disappeared in an instant. Her voice was soft, as if unaffected: "Are you sure?"
"yes."
"All the time?"
Salis shook her head in response, then placed her index finger to her lips, silencing herself. "That's enough for today. If I say any more, I'll be seen."
She removed the soundproofing magic and picked up the cup on the table with a relaxed expression.
The two stopped talking, and Vifiya sorted out all the information she had heard today in her mind.
The tent suddenly became quiet.
Salis's gaze once again gently fell on the fingertips of Vifiya's right hand. After thinking for a moment, she reminded him, "You were planted with a magic seed. It's a tool to test whether you have magical aptitude."
Following her gaze, Vifia lowered her eyes to look at her fingertips, and quickly recalled that Osha had told her in advance that the magician in the palace would test whether she was a hidden magician.
Salis stroked the handle of the cup. "These seeds, planted without the person's consent, will cause the person to become dizzy and vomit within three days. It's best that you avoid contact with ordinary magical items."
Vifia thought for a moment and said, "But I don't feel that way." Besides, she had come into contact with quite a few magical items recently.
Salis understood her concerns. Her eyes fell on her earrings. "Isidore spent seven years making these earrings. They are top-tier magical items. I don't even know how much magic he put into them. It's just that they suppress the magic power of other magicians. It's easy."
She tilted her head slightly, staring into Vifiya's crimson eyes, which were slightly surprised, and raised the corners of her lips nonchalantly: "Don't worry, whether it's me, Isidore, or Kaharun's magic, few people on this continent can detect it."
Because the stronger the magic power, the easier it is to hide from people with weaker magic power, unless they don't want to.
This is the confidence of being the world's top magician.
It was also the first time in this world that a corner of magic was officially shown to Vifia. This blind spot called the magic world finally took the initiative to dispel its own fog after her seventeenth rebirth.
"Lord Salis?!"
A cry of surprise reached the ears of Salis and Vifiya. They looked towards the source of the sound, only to see Kaharun's eyes wide open: "Why are you here?"
Compared to Kaharun's surprised expression, Isidore was much calmer: "Teacher."
His gaze shifted to Vifiya, and his silver pupils changed, with a faint smile: "Long time no see, Vifiya."
At this moment, Vifiya saw that he felt a little complicated, but she still nodded with a smile.
Isidore's smile was so obvious that Salis was stunned. She had actually seen Isidore a long time ago, as described so exaggeratedly in Kaharun's letter.
God's favorite found his missing home, and everything seemed to return to normal.
Salis's eyes showed some relief as she looked at Kaharun, "You're still making such a fuss. I heard that the hunting club can invite relatives and friends. Since you didn't invite me, of course I came on my own."
At Vifiya's signal, the two sat down. Neve refilled their cups with drinks again, bowed to Vifiya, and left.
"We wrote the letter," Isidore retorted calmly.
Salis's face froze as she thought of something.
Kaharun said doubtfully, "You're not so obsessed with research and development that you haven't seen our letter, have you?"
Salis picked up the cup and took a sip slowly: "It's normal for someone as busy as me."
Just as Kaharun was about to retort, he caught a glimpse of Isidore staring at the silver bracelet on Vifiya's wrist, his expression more solemn and serious than ever before.
Seeing this, Kaharun subconsciously raised his hand, his fingertips glowing as he cast a soundproofing spell: "What's wrong?"
Isidore's face was solemn as he looked at Vifia: "Where did this bracelet come from?"
Upon hearing this, Vifiya's eyes flashed with consideration, and her eyes gently shifted to Salis, meeting her thoughtful gaze.
Kaharun and Isidore followed her gaze and looked at Salis. Salis suddenly realized something and looked at her with a look of surprise: "What did you see?"
Isidore's gaze returned to the bracelet, and he spoke thoughtfully, "I can only sense that there are two very powerful magical powers within it."
He stretched out his hand, hovering above the silver bracelet, his pupils slightly dilated: "No, the other kind is not magic, it is a more advanced power."
After he finished speaking, the power in the silver bracelet surged. Even if it was just a tiny bit of power that leaked out, Salis and Kaharun could clearly feel how powerful and biting this power was, and that it was a power that did not belong to this world system.
Kaharun's expression changed, and Salis's face was also solemn.
Isidore, who had a clearer sense, felt a sharp pain in his eyes and could not help but close them.
Only Vifiya was not affected at all.
Her gaze swept across the faces of the three people one by one, then fell back on the bracelet. Seeing their reactions, she knew that this matter was not simple.
She tentatively touched the silver bracelet and turned it gently.
After making sure that Isidore was fine, Salis and Kaharun looked at Vifia's movements at the same time. They could feel the tremendous power surging inside, but the power was no longer leaking out, as if the power that had just been revealed was an illusion of theirs.
Sally looked at the silver bracelet. The power inside was stronger than anyone else present. She had been wearing this bracelet before but didn't feel any difference. It was just an ordinary bracelet.
It only meant that the owner of the power didn't want her to know, and now that Isidore had seen through it a little, the power suddenly appeared.
What is certain is that the owner of this power deliberately allowed them to sense it.
What does it mean to be the master of power?
"This is indeed mine." Vifiya broke the silence. She looked at Isidore. He had already opened his eyes. Seeing that he was fine, she turned her attention to the other two people.
"I just felt a different kind of power." It felt like being surrounded by the early spring sunshine, very warm.
Vifiya did not say the latter part.
After hearing this, Isidore finally spoke: "Until you are sure whether the bracelet is safe, it is better not to..."
The words stopped abruptly, and they could clearly feel again another force gently reaching out from the silver bracelet.
Actively let them sense the powerful magic of this world.
The magic power was much stronger than that of the three of them, and as someone who had seen God, Salis recognized that this was the power of God, the power of the true God.
She understood something and her face relaxed: "It's okay, the bracelet is safe."
Kaharun wanted to ask more, but seeing the look on Salis's face, he stopped asking. He knew there were some things he shouldn't ask now.
Isidore said nothing, but looked at Vifia. Seeing that she did not refute him, he understood what she meant. He then instructed her, "If there is anything you need from me, just squeeze your earrings and call my name, and I will hear you."
Vifiya saw the faint worry in his eyes, but he didn't ask anything. What Salis said before was still in her mind, and something in her heart was slightly touched. She nodded.
Salis and Isidore knew that Vifiya had a secret, but Kaharun simply knew what choice he should make at what time.
