Chapter 151 Silver Oak Sword, New Talent (Two in One)
Yeats calmly put Pan's Flute into his arms.
I have long said that this flute and I are destined to be together.
When I saw it today, it was true!
Mist is surging in this labyrinth that originally belonged to the god Pan, and the remaining ownerless divinity is being gradually eroded.
Ye Zhi saw the tall, slender lady with long ash-gray hair, her eyes with long eyelashes closed, her left hand clasped on her outstretched right arm, she stretched and let out a contented sigh.
"Ah... the taste of divinity is simply addictive."
As the chosen one of the Mist Gods, Ye Zhi naturally had no objection to seeing the divinity of his goddess grow stronger.
Yeats glanced at the ribbon of her gown slipping from Daisy's shoulders.
This is really too old for a young man full of vigor and blood! Daisy opened half of her eyes, a smile appeared on her face, and she said playfully:
"It's a pity that your teacher is about to wake up, otherwise I could stay with you for a while longer."
Ye Zhi looked back at Kendela who was in a petrified state.
He was being petrified by the Eyeless Demon's gaze, and during the petrification period, all five senses were blocked, so he had no idea of what had just happened.
Ye Zhi looked down at the Eyeless Demon in the pool of blood again, feeling somewhat entangled, and thought to himself:
"So how am I going to explain this to Kendra later?"
"Let's just say that Pan's divine flute chose me, and I sent the Eyeless Demon away with just one tune?"
Well, that seems to be a good reason.
Besides, there was an impeccable lie, and even Kendra couldn't detect the flaw!
The key point is that the Mist Sect is not considered a famous and upright sect in the Central Garden Continent, so the identity of the Chosen One of the Mist God is very embarrassing, which is why Ye Zhi concealed it from Kendra.
But thanks to this identity as God's chosen one, Daisy, the human form of the Goddess of Mist, was able to arrive in time.
Daisy even appeared in the image of 'Lucifer', presumably to see the reaction of the Eyeless Demon and the apostles behind him.
Even Lucifer can change.
According to this, Daisy can cosplay anyone she wants. Yeats fell into deep thought.
To be honest, I'm quite curious about what the Lord of Lust looks like. I wonder if Daisy can transform...
Ye Zhi shook his head to drive the dangerous thought out of his mind, but saw Daisy lower her head and stare at the two eyeballs in her palms.
Then.
Daisy plated up the two eyeballs belonging to the 'Apostle of the Evil Eye' like plated up walnuts.
Ye Zhi: ??? Goddess, you are quite good at playing.
Daisy said as she coiled her evil eyes, "Dealing with these two eyes is also a big hassle. After all, I can only mobilize a limited amount of divinity in the material realm, and I cannot break through the realm of the sanctuary."
"But this time I will help you to the end." Daisy flipped her hand, and her two eyes disappeared.
Daisy put her slender hands on her waist and smiled at Yeats.
"Who told you that you are my precious chosen one? For you, even if I have to become an enemy of the apostles, it is worth it!"
The tone of this bad woman is too obvious. The Mist Goddess is in KFC!
"So, Lady Goddess, what is your next plan? Can I listen to your oracle?" Ye Zhi said cautiously.
"Don't be so formal. Just call me Daisy. After all, I can't be called a complete god right now." Daisy chuckled.
Yeats was thoughtful.
Daisy can be regarded as a wisp of soul of the Goddess of Mist in the human world. Only when she returns to her original form can she become the complete Goddess of Mist.
As for how this fragment of soul passed through the planes and came to the material world, it must involve some means of the Goddess of Mist.
Ye Zhi's eyes flickered, and two unrelated old events came together in his mind: the divinity of the Mist Goddess had been plundered by the Shadow Prince; and the Shadow Prince had invaded the material world more than 20 years ago, but was later repelled by Kendra...
"As for the next plan."
Daisy twisted her fingers around the gray curly hair that fell on her chest, and said calmly, with a faint fragrance:
"Being targeted by the apostles is always a troublesome thing. As far as I know, any creature that has been linked to them and escaped judgment will continue to be involved in events related to the apostles, just like being branded."
"But the 'Golden Branch of Life' mistletoe can hide the eyes and ears of the apostles... I plan to go look for it."
Hearing this, Ye Zhi was slightly surprised.
Mistletoe.
The evergreen mistletoe represents hope and abundance. It is considered a panacea in the Midgard continent. It can also be placed on the threshold to prevent nightmares and to create invisibility potions.
The "mistletoe" in the plot of "Phantom Wings" is directly linked to Ragnarok.
According to legend, the [Silver Mistletoe Sword] made of mistletoe killed the god of light and foreshadowed the coming of Ragnarok. It is an ominous sword that kills gods.
Ye Zhi thought to himself: "This thing... No, this thing and I have no fate at all!"
This kind of magic sword in mythology is usually cursed, and whoever uses it will bring bad luck.
"I'll bring you the mistletoe, too, if I find it."
Daisy glanced at Yeats, her tone slightly helpless:
"After all, you seem to need mistletoe to ward off disaster more than I do—"
"You are filled with death energy, and this death energy is caused by the apostles." Daisy crossed her arms and said, "But this is the first time I have seen a human with such a strong death energy like you..."
"Did you kill the apostle?" Daisy suddenly asked.
Ye Zhi's body was shocked, thinking, could it be that the fact that I wore the Wild Hunt King's vest to kill Remiel has been exposed?
Daisy saw Yeats's reaction and said in a strange tone: "Is it true?"
Ye Zhi laughed dryly: "How is that possible? Haha."
This excuse seemed a little feeble and weak. Daisy looked at Yeats suspiciously, but she also felt that it was impossible.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Next time you use 'Guardian Fantasy Beast', it won't be like today..."
Daisy's implication was that this time Yeats used the 'Guardian Fantasy Beast' to summon the illusion of Lucifer because she was there to help.
The next time you use the blessing, it will return to normal effect.
Ye Zhi was still somewhat curious about what kind of mythical beast he would summon.
But after performing this blessing, the mist divinity in one's body will fall into a deep sleep, and it will take at least a week before it can be released again.
Daisy was shrouded in mist, moving her fingers and smiling softly.
"Then, see you next time, my chosen one~"
The subtle fragrance dissipated.
Yeats pondered for a moment, thinking about the mistletoe, the 'golden bough of life' mentioned by Daisy.
This extremely rare herb, like the Immortality Flower, appears in the spring event "Walpurgis Night" in the plot.
The Immortality Flower is related to the treatment of Hildreth's injuries, and with the Mistletoe, it is possible to conceal the eyes and ears of the Apostles and gain precious development opportunities.
"Spring activities?" Ye Zhi rubbed his eyebrows.
According to Daisy, sinners targeted by apostles will always be inexplicably involved in events related to the apostles, which is like a curse.
After the trip to Pan's Labyrinth, Yeats couldn't help but feel a little alert, thinking:
"It's too dangerous to go back to the territory now. We might lure the boss back home and wreak havoc..."
"We have to attend Walpurgis Night after all, so we have to find the mistletoe first!"
Snap!
Shortly after Daisy disappears, Kendra breaks free of her petrified bonds, her eyes serious.
The white-robed wizard looked around and was slightly startled when he saw the eyeless demon lying in a pool of blood.
Gray, who had just fallen asleep due to Daisy's divinity, now slowly woke up and looked around blankly, "What happened?"
Boom! The ruins trembled violently, and the labyrinth that had lost its divinity was about to collapse.
"No time to explain, take the children away from here!" Yeats shouted.
Kendela raised his staff, blasted open the ceiling of the ruins with a fireball, flew out of the maze, and then used a large-scale levitation spell to take the children away in batches.
Snow Owl used the flying spell on Gray and Clan, giving them the ability to fly temporarily and use the hole to leave the maze.
"Huh? This is actually the art of flying!" Clan was full of surprise.
Even I haven't mastered the skill of flying yet, how can Ye Zhi's magic pet give others the ability to fly?
The Snowy Owl looked haughty and glanced sideways at Cran.
What a fuss! The maze collapses further.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Ye Zhi looked back and saw the young man in flowery clothes with a distraught look on his face.
"The altar of Pan... collapsed? I can't feel his divinity... where did he go?"
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"Pan is dead!" Yeats shouted, "You can die holding on to your faith!"
Unexpectedly, the young man in flowery clothes was silent for a moment, his eyes turned red, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted."
Yeats was startled, then quickly spread the wings of the god of poetry and rushed out of Pan's labyrinth.
Behind him came the singing of the Pied Piper.
"In my solitude came——"
"The sound of the flute, in the dark woods surrounding the mountaintop."
"And I saw Pan."
"Towards the abyss, annihilation."
"The end of loneliness, and the end of everything..."
"The great god Pan is dead!" The Pied Piper's voice was mournful and sad. In the collapsed labyrinth, he was like a martyr of the old times. "With him, poetry itself disappeared!"
His eyes were blank, and with the help of the sunlight, he saw the outstretched wings of inspiration behind Yeats.
Hamelin could see the pair of wings. He was stunned for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he shouted excitedly to Yeats.
"Poets, keep flying towards the sun!"
Boom! A huge cloud of dust rose in the mountain.
Pan's Labyrinth collapsed completely.
It was sunrise, the sun shone through the misty mountains and forests, and the children's faces were filled with fear.
Amid the noisy crying, Clan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh:
"Luckily I escaped."
"The children have been rescued too!" Gray turned around happily and said, "Yeats, the operation was a great success!"
Yeats frowned.
"What's wrong?" Gray asked nervously.
"What a loss." Ye Zhi said with a pained look on his face, "The magic flute in the flute player's hand could not be rescued!"
Although there is Pan's Flute as a high-end version of the Magic Flute, that flute is at least of rare quality and can be sold for thousands of gold coins!
At this time, a snowy owl flew to the treetop and took out a shiny flute from the nest.
Snowy Owl handed it to Ye Zhi and tilted his head: "Gu?"
Are you talking about this flute? Yeats: "..."
Snowy Owl, you did a great job!
*At noon, Yeats brought more than a hundred abducted children back to Shuimo Town, and the villagers knelt down excitedly to express their gratitude.
Although the reward was a little less, only more than two hundred gold coins, it was better than nothing. After all, this was the limit of what this poor town could offer.
Yeats glanced at the panel.
「Circle of Life: Second Ring (63%)」
"Professional Path: Second-Ring Knight (10%), Second-Ring Trickster (1%), Second-Ring Bard (75%)"
After the journey through Pan's Labyrinth, the Ring of Life was upgraded again, and the professional level of the Bard improved by leaps and bounds.
However, if you want to achieve career advancement, you must first make a breakthrough in the Ring of Life.
Yeats then revisited the trip.
Pan's Flute is undoubtedly the biggest gain of this trip. This epic item is of higher quality than the 'Musical Instrument Brooch' and has the effect of increasing crop yields.
Bards often need to use musical instruments as spellcasting tools, and Pan's Flute as a magic tool can greatly enhance the power of the music! With the help of Pan's Flute, Yeats's Rest Song can even have the effect of healing teammates.
Thanks to the improvement of his professional level, Ye Zhi discovered that there was a new music spell on the panel, called "Tranquil Song".
The effect of the Tranquilizing Song is similar to that of the Tranquilizing Spell, which can eliminate hatred and soothe people's hearts.
"Now I'm not afraid of Hong Wen anymore." Ye Zhi said secretly.
In addition, in terms of intelligence, the true identity of the Saint of Mist and information about mistletoe were learned.
As for the Pied Piper's magic flute, Ye Zhi took a look and identified it, and found that it was a rare quality flute that could enhance the power of spells from the School of Enchantment.
There is already Pan's Flute, which overlaps with the Magic Flute... Yeats shook the Magic Flute at Candela:
"Do you want it? Teacher Kendra, I'll sell it to you at a lower price."
"I have a friend who practices enchantment magic. She might be interested in this flute."
The two of them bargained back and forth, and the final price was set at 1,500 gold coins.
Gray was a little embarrassed and muttered: "The master and the apprentice will become more and more alike... I don't know who influenced who..."
After agreeing on the price, Kendala asked Yeats about what happened after he was petrified.
Yeats pulled out the prepared rhetoric: "After you were petrified, Pan's flute suddenly appeared from the altar and chose me... Thanks to Pan's flute, I was able to escape danger."
Candela pondered for a moment and nodded slowly:
"Pan has been stigmatized as a demon, so he must be dissatisfied with the apostles. As the chosen one of the gods of art, it is only natural that Pan's Flute is close to you."
Yeats: “Ah yes, that’s it!”
"Come to think of it, your Snow Owl has already been promoted to the third ring." Candela stroked his beard and said, "Did it gain any new talents when it was promoted?"
When extraordinary creatures are promoted, they have a chance to acquire new talents and comprehend new spells.
The trainer can sense the growth of the pet through the pet contract...Ye Zhi examined it and said, "I have learned two new spells, spell counter and flash."
"There's also a new talent called... 'Continuous Casting'!"
Kendra's hand stroking his beard froze, and he tilted his head and asked, "What talent? Continuous casting?"
Ye Zhi was puzzled and said, "I don't understand, is this talent amazing?"
Kendra said seriously, "Don't ask this question in front of other mages."
Yeats: “Why?”
“It’s too hateful.”
Ye Zhi: “…”
Continuous casting, like a spell machine gun, right?
