Chapter 134 Wings of the Poet God
Spring, Holy Calendar Year 1459.
The high slopes outside Morning Frost Ridge were shrouded in mist, and the barren fields were covered with short green grass and moss, with bare rocks scattered among them.
The air is crisp.
The spring breeze blew the dragon girl's brown ponytail. She wore a dark robe and sat on a stone with her chin in her hand. Her eyes reflected the handsome silver-haired boy.
Yeats wore a woolen cloak on the outside and aristocratic hunting suit underneath. He raised his arm, and the snow-white bird of prey suddenly flew through the sky like an arrow and landed on his hand, its pair of yellow eyes piercing with spirit.
"What's wrong with Snowy Owl today? So energetic?"
Gray asked.
"I fed it coffee before coming for training flight."
Ye Zhi rubbed the chubby owl and reminded it, "If I accidentally fall down while flying later, remember to save me!"
The Snowy Owl raised its head proudly: "Gu!"
Don't worry, I have several spells to protect your safety! Whether it is the "Flying Spell" that temporarily provides other units with the ability to fly, or the "Wind Wall Spell" that can carry objects with strong winds, they can provide protection when Ye Zhi is practicing flying.
The magic power stored in the magic organs of the Snow Owl is also steadily increasing through day after day of late-night meditation.
According to Master Candela, the Snow Owl is now only one step away from being promoted to the third ring.
Ye Zhi thought that his upgrade speed was fast enough.
After all, it was only less than half a year, and he was promoted from a zero-ring mortal to a second-ring one. Even Xilude, who had a destiny, could not catch up with this efficiency.
What's more, he almost died in Remiel's soul realm before he managed to break through.
But Snow Owl reads scrolls, eats, and stays up late every day... This is almost the third ring! "It's not without reason that Teacher Candela wants to take Snow Owl as his apprentice." Ye Zhi thought to himself, "Legendary wizard Merlin, nicknamed 'Little Snow Owl'!"
Two days have passed since we said goodbye to Hildreth.
She and Sora have headed to the North, and will train and fight with the Sanctuary as their goal.
The King of the Wild Hunt mentioned that Hildreth has the [Destiny] and the Black Knight as her backer. After facing Remiel and realizing the power of the Sanctuary, her improvement speed must have increased by leaps and bounds.
Yeats was looking forward to his reunion with Hildreth.
For this reason, he could not stand still... New ingredients, new territories, new spells and combat skills, Ye Zhi wanted them all!
This morning, Ye Zhi called Gray and went to the hillside outside the territory to try out the new blessing "Wings of the God of Poetry" that he had obtained after being promoted to the second ring.
There is a huge difference between blessings and spells and combat skills. Spells and combat skills can be mastered through one's own practice, but blessings only come from the power of gods.
The "Wings of Poetry" call forth a pair of invisible wings of inspiration from the divine realm of the goddess of art, granting Yeats the ability to fly.
First attempt.
Yeats concentrated his mind and felt the mottled and diverse divinity in the soul realm.
On the surface of the Water of Soul, there is an elm tree, and the shadow of the elm tree is reflected in the mirror-like water surface.
There are two rings on the trunk of the elm tree with a metallic luster. The first ring seems to be made of bronze, while the second ring has a faint silver luster.
According to legend, the first men and women in this world were created by gods using elm and oak trees.
Therefore, the tree of life in the body of a transcendent person, from ring zero to ring ten, from the root to the crown, is a path from man to god.
Yeats discovered that around his tree of life, on the surface of the soul, there were floating rose-colored rays of light, cyan aurora, thick black fog, hazy moonlight, and purple shadows...
These remaining divinities lived in peace and harmony within his body.
According to common sense, if there were so many and diverse divine powers in a human body, he would have exploded and died long ago.
Ye Zhi sighed in his heart...Thanks to Phantom Wings, thanks to the panel, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to trade with so many gods at the same time!
Ye Zhi consciously gazed at the green aurora, and felt a divine power surging from the aurora. He opened his eyes and felt the divinity rushing to his back, and his body became exceptionally light!
Jump with all your strength.
Under Gray's shocked gaze, Ye Zhi jumped more than three meters, but he was suspended in the air for less than a few seconds before falling heavily from the air.
Boom! Yeats fell flat on his face.
Gray stood up in shock: "Are you okay, Yeats?"
"It hurts... but I can still bear it..."
Ye Zhi hissed, propped himself up and stood up, lowered his head and silently chanted the spell of "cleaning" towards his muddy coat, and the power of the magic net was mobilized, and his body became brand new.
As a two-ring knight with many permanent benefits from food, Ye Zhi's physique is quite tough. He can recover after falling from a height of three meters just by brushing off the dust.
Then.
Ye Zhi looked at the Snowy Owl with resentment.
The look in his eyes roughly meant, didn't you say you would catch me? The Snowy Owl blinked innocently...But you just jumped, you didn't fly?
Compared with tangible wings, the invisible wings of poetry are more difficult to control. Its essence is "inspiration". The clearer Yeats's mind is and the more focused his thoughts are, the more flexible the wings of poetry are.
On the contrary, when Yeats was attacked and had to be distracted, the Wings of the Poetry seemed quite useless and would crash if not handled properly.
but.
When Yeats obtained the wings of the poet, corresponding flying skills also emerged in his mind.
Among these flying techniques, there is a word called 'flow'.
Artists can easily enter a flow state, in which they seem to not feel the passage of time and are more likely to create high-quality works.
The essence of flying magic is the control of mana. The more delicate the mana is, the higher the flying skill will be.
The 'Wings of the Poet' is a means of flying that focuses on the mind. It does not consume mana but only consumes mental energy. Currently, Ye Zhi's mind can only be focused on flying for five minutes.
But if you can enter the 'flow' state, the flight time will be greatly extended.
Yeats tried many times, and got his head broken and bleeding several times. He was rescued by a snowy owl several times. Finally, at sunset, he finally got the hang of it.
"Your proficiency in 'flying' has been raised to apprentice level!"
The proficiency levels are apprentice, skilled, proficient, expert, master, and grandmaster.
Yeats's art of food is already that of a master, and his corresponding level of potion making, benefiting from the principle that medicine and food have the same origin, Yeats speculates that it is also at a master's level.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
But flying is considered one of the most difficult skills to master, and even many fourth-ring transcendents do not have the ability to fly.
Although Ye Zhi was a second-ring warrior, he was already able to fly into the blue sky, which was enough to make a group of fourth-ring warriors extremely envious.
At dusk.
Yeats walked with the wind, feeling the strong breeze on his face, and felt extremely happy.
Wuhu, this time I can fly! Gray looked up at Yeats in the sky with her mouth wide open.
"Look, Snowy Owl, Yeats is in the sky!"
Suddenly.
A wild pigeon hit Yeats's wings, instantly breaking the invisible wings woven with spirit! The 'Wings of the Poet' seemed to be able to fly without the help of wings, but once attacked, it would also collapse!
Ye Zhi's face changed, he looked down, watching the cold ground quickly enlarge in front of his eyes, and shouted: "Snowy Owl, save me!"
The snowy owl flapped its wings and a blue light appeared in its eyes.
Being stared at by it, Yeats was like a drowning man holding onto a straw. He flapped his hands in the air twice, regained his balance, slowly landed on the ground, and then he exhaled.
"Gu~" The snowy owl showed a proud little look.
You see, you still need my help~ Ye Zhi said seriously: "Thank you, round-faced fat chicken!"
This scene was seen by the albatross flying from a distance.
Kendela transformed into an albatross, his eyes flickering and his heart surging.
It is indeed rare for Ye Zhi to have the ability to fly at the second ring, but the knowledgeable Candela has seen precedents.
What's more, Yeats often received blessings from the gods, and Kendela was no longer surprised.
However, the method displayed by the Snowy Owl was——
Casting spells from a distance?
Flying is a spell under the category of 'touch casting', and telecasting is a more advanced spellcasting technique than silent casting and quick casting! I haven't even told Snow Owl about this technique yet! It has actually learned it by itself?! Kendra was in a complicated mood.
As expected, the master has the same magical pet as him! The Albatross landed in front of Yeats and Gray and transformed into an old wizard in white robes.
Yeats and Gray were surprised for a moment.
Kendra's expression had returned to calm, and he said gently: "I saw your training just now, Yeats, this should be a blessing from the goddess of art?"
Yeats nodded truthfully.
"Blessing can be released without consuming mana, and flying is a very important skill, you need to practice more." Kendra said with a smile, "As for the Snow Owl, its current mission is to advance to the third ring, so you need to give it plenty of time."
Ye Zhi: “…”
What's going on with this feeling that good students shouldn't play with bad students?
"Well, I understand, teacher. I will let Snow Owl seize the opportunity to get promoted." Ye Zhi coughed lightly, "What else do you want to talk to me about?"
"Actually, I have to go back to the Arcane Academy in Oslo to report the disappearance of Isidora to King Harrag." Kendra said, "Once I'm done, I'll come find you and go to Jianhe University with you."
Ye Zhi thought about it. The Fog Festival was approaching, which was related to his promotion to a trickster. It would be inconvenient to have Kendra accompany him. He pondered and said, "Why don't Gray and I go first, and then we agree to meet at a place?"
Kendela agreed to the suggestion and asked Yeats where to go next.
"Ingness," said Yeats, "a little town near the High Castle, famous for its beauty."
Kendra nodded and reminded, "There has been a rumor about a 'lake monster' in Lake Ness near Ingness recently. You should be more careful."
Looking at Yeats with bright eyes, Gray felt strange.
Given Ye Zhi's personality... he might want to cook the lake monster! (End of this chapter)
