Chapter 178 Is This Really a Beaver?

Riverside, second floor of a villa, marble terrace.

The maid respectfully told Megan that there were guests coming to visit.

Meghan had expected this, and soon, Princess Celine, wearing a sapphire dress, walked up the stairs.

Yeats was a little surprised and looked around at Celine and Megan.

"Do you two know each other?"

"I spent some time in the Moonlight Church, and that's when I met her," Megan said calmly.

Xilin smiled slightly, looked at Ye Zhi, and said softly: "Sir Baron, how is your injury?"

"It has fully recovered." Ye Zhi nodded.

Moonlight Dou Qi can switch between the two properties of Moon Fire and Moon Healing, and Ye Zhi's recovery ability is therefore greatly enhanced.

"Please rest assured." Celine sat down next to Megan and said seriously, "The Moonlight Church and I will find the real culprit as soon as possible."

"Have you found any clues in the past few days?" Megan asked.

"The maid's adoptive father is an elder of the Assassin's League, but the clues end here." Celine frowned slightly, "What we can be sure of is that someone from the Dark Night Cult must be behind this."

Yeats suspected that Lothar was the mastermind of the assassination. It made sense that Lothar, a prince, colluded with the Dark Night Cult in order to ascend the throne.

If this were true, Lothar would definitely take action in this trial.

Yeats looked at the two warships on the river with a twinkling gaze.

"I have to remind Mr. Candela to be on guard against Lothar while maintaining the trial."

Ye Zhi thought to himself: "If there is solid evidence that Lothair is colluding with the Dark Night Cult, we can use the Moonlight Church to get rid of him, and this will not arouse the hostility of the Elector."

Killing someone with a borrowed knife is a case of yes.

At this time, Celine paid a return visit to Yeats in a very considerate manner, saying:

"Mr. Ye Zhi, do you feel any discomfort after taking the Moonfire Potion?"

The process of drinking the potion and then turning its power into something useful is called digestion. If something goes wrong during the digestion process, all the previous efforts may be wasted.

Because Celine had experience in digesting the Moonfire Potion, she made a special trip to ask Ye Zhi, hoping to provide him with some experience.

"It was indeed extremely painful when I first drank it." Ye Zhi thought of the burning sensation and said thoughtfully, "But now I have completely digested the potion."

Celine was slightly startled.

"Are you sure?"

The digestion of potions requires a gradual process. Every 10% digestion progress of the Moonfire Potion can enhance the Moonlight spell.

From what Ye Zhi said, it seems that he has digested the Moonfire Potion 100%?

Megan coughed lightly and said, “Celine, you may not understand…Yezhi’s talent in moonlight magic is the most outstanding I have ever seen in my life.”

"He completely digested the bottle of Moonfire Potion you gave him in less than a day."

Under Celine's astonished gaze, Megan continued:

"It only took him half a month to practice the Moonlight Breathing Method and he was already able to use the Moonlight Fighting Qi freely... If I remember correctly, this progress is quite amazing even in the Moonlight Church."

Even for a three-ring knight, it would take years to master the moonlight fighting spirit. How could he be able to use it freely in just half a month? An expression of disbelief and surprise flashed across Celine's beautiful emerald green eyes, and she turned her head to look at Ye Zhi for confirmation.

However, Ye Zhi spread out his palms and ignited a cluster of bright, crystal and hot moonlight.

"Not half a month, but a week."

Ye Zhi waved his hand to disperse the moonlight fighting spirit and corrected it.

Celine's delicate and beautiful face was stunned for a few seconds, her eyes flickering.

It is rumored that Ye Zhi has no talent in practicing magic.

But he seemed to be personally watched by the Moonlight Goddess.

With his amazing talent in moonlight magic, he can even become the Holy Son of the Moonlight Church!

Immediately, Xilin clenched her white and slender hands, picked up the black tea in the white porcelain cup and took a sip, then looked away, gazed at the river, and said softly, "Watch...watch the game."

River bank.

As the players from both teams boarded the ship, there was noisy discussion among the crowd.

"Why did Jianhe University only send two players?"

"It seems that the owl represented Jianhe in the competition."

"Haha, it's settled now, I bet on Taim River University to win!"

Inside the dragon boat, June Lannister sat on the deck, picked up the oars, looked at Perron who had taken out the tambourine, and said curiously:

"Why did you bring a musical instrument up here?"

"You are responsible for rowing, Snowy Owl is responsible for steering, and I am responsible for playing music." Perron smiled slightly, "This is called clear division of labor."

June: “…”

Can this really be won?

Things have come to this point, no matter how unreliable your teammates are, you have no choice but to face the challenge head-on.

Two ships were anchored at the starting point, respectively named 'Lion' and 'Pegasus'.

Whoosh! A cluster of arcane missiles shot into the sky, marking the start of the boat race, and enthusiastic cheers and applause rang out on both sides of the river.

June held a wooden paddle in his hand, his arms surging with the standard golden fighting spirit of the Three Ring Knight, and he paddled very fast with the power enhanced by the fighting spirit.

When Perun beat the drum, he infused the sound of the drum with the magical power of the inspiring song.

The drum beats were passionate, igniting the passion of the scene. Once they started beating, people became mad, forgetful, and desperate.

Perren's performance was full of energy, but the Lion of Cam River University was visibly left far behind by its opponent.

"Behind so much?" Peren was shocked.

June rowed hard and said unhappily, "They have three pairs of hands, and we only have one!"

Soon, the Tayme University's 'Pegasus', which was far ahead, was the first to enter the first obstacle course: the depth charge area.

The mine buried under the water exploded, but was blocked by the barrier covering the Pegasus.

Even the speed of the Tame River ships increased again.

June sensed the strange fluctuation of water element and his face darkened: "Oh no, there is a sailor on the other side, maybe a three-ring navigator!"

The sailor profession, who believes in the god of the ocean or the god of storms and thunder, has a great advantage over other professions on the water.

However, the advancement potion for this profession is notoriously unpalatable. Its ingredients include fermented herring, air-dried shark meat... The second-level [Herring Potion] can make people dizzy and cry when faced with the wind.

There are some sailor potions that are not difficult to drink. For example, the fourth-ring potion [Siren] uses citrus, siren's tears, rum, basil leaves and tobacco. Everyone who has tasted it says it is good.

The 'Pegasus' of Taim River University, led by a navigator, easily passed through the minefield.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Gu!" The snowy owl stood at the bow of the ship, its feathers fluttering in the wind, its head motionless as if it was equipped with a stabilizer. It slowly turned its head and gave the captain's orders.

Follow behind the other person!

Perron was shocked and said, "Wake, it's a wake, the captain used the wake tactic!"

June said angrily, "You have time to yell but no time to paddle!!"

Under the guidance of the Pegasus, the Lion passed through the minefield, but the distance was getting farther and farther.

In the second area, a group of otters appeared in the river. Under the command of the summoner, they swam under the bottom of the ship with hard oysters or shells in their hands and kept hitting the cabin.

On the Pegasus, Heti calmly commanded Roy and Charles to divert the attention of a group of otters. Although a lot of time was delayed, the Pegasus successfully passed through the area.

On the Lion, June looked stern as he looked around the ship at the otters that kept hitting the hull with their shells. He said:

"What the hell are they doing?!"

Perron stopped playing and smiled as he explained: "Otters are strong swimmers and feed on crustaceans. They use hard objects such as rocks and ship hulls to crack open shells."

June said with a headache: "Who asked you this?"

At this moment, the Snowy Owl's eyes lit up blue, and a commander-level pressure was released, covering the group of otters.

On the shore, the summoner was shocked to find that he had lost control of the group of otters! "Gu!" The Snow Owl's eyes fixed.

Little ones, listen to my command, push the boat, and go full speed ahead! Snow Owl used his superior aura as a three-ring magic pet to recruit these otters as his subordinates and ordered them to push the boat under the water.

"What's going on?!" June looked around in shock and found that he didn't paddle, but the Lion was actually moving at full speed! Peren looked in disbelief, his lips trembling, and pointed at the Snowy Owl, saying:

"Captain, it, it has recruited the otters!"

The mirror wall shows the current competition on the river.

When Principal Edwin saw this scene, he almost spit out the tea he had just drunk. His gentlemanly manners were gone and he kept coughing.

Otters are clearly an obstacle.

The Snowy Owl used its superiority as a magical beast to get these otters to help push the boat? !

"This..." Edwin turned to look at Kendra, "Is this legal?!"

Candela stroked his beard, as if he was looking at a favorite student, his eyes twinkling, and said with a smile: "Adapting to local conditions and taking advantage of the situation, this is exactly the wisdom advocated by Minerva!"

On board Pegasus.

Roy looked back, only to see the Lion catching up with him at an alarming speed, and was surprised.

"Heti, Jianhe's people are catching up with us!"

The black-haired girl's calm expression wavered a little.

"How is it possible?! Aren't we almost leaving them behind?"

"Oh my God, that snowy owl, it, it's asking the otter to help push the boat!" Charles was dumbfounded and shouted, "Does this really make sense?!"

The words fell.

In front of the Pegasus, an extremely huge giant beaver appeared, baring its front teeth and staring blankly at the oncoming Pegasus.

Second floor, terrace.

Ye Zhi used the Eagle Eye Technique to look far into the distance and exclaimed:

"What a big beaver!"

"The beaver should be a magic pet of a certain wizard, cast with the giantization spell, and set here as an obstacle."

Megan analyzed: "After passing this obstacle, only the illusion area and the storm area are left... The team that rushes through the storm first will be able to seize the initiative in the second round of trials!"

Yeats remembered that beavers produce a precious spice, which is known as one of the four major magical beast spices along with ambergris, musk and civet, and is called "beaver scent".

To make [Petrel Potion], you need to use one of these four spices.

"Speaking of ambergris..."

Ye Zhi glanced at Gray, then shook his head and dismissed the idea.

After this trial, try to apply for some castoreum from Principal Fina.

"According to the plot of the game, I remember that this spice can also be used in the second round of trials."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "My impression of the second round is much deeper than the first round, because it is one of my favorite events."

"【fishing】!"
