Chapter 186: Reaching the Rainbow Bridge, Yeats' Hidden Blade
Strands of rainbow light pierced through the clouds, then shattered into specks of light, floating towards the cracks in the sky.
The gap in the sky gradually healed under the filling of these bits of light.
This indicates that the passage between the Trial Land and the Shadow Kingdom is closing.
Even the darkness that had just covered the sky and the sun retracted its living shadow tentacles and shrank back before the passage was completely closed.
When Ye Zhi saw this scene, he felt as if a huge rock in his heart had fallen to the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief... The Chosen One of Magic has been born, and the divinity of the Goddess of Magic has also descended at this moment.
The goddess of darkness was unwilling to continue interfering, and took the initiative to take back the dark night domain, as if giving Minerva three points.
However, based on past experience, Yeats judged that this goddess was not the type to give up.
In the divine realm that Yeats could not see, another great war was bound to break out!
Daisy's emotional voice still echoed in Yeats's mind.
"I can feel that in just this short year..."
"The conflict between the three powerful gods of Magic, Dark Night, and Moonlight is rapidly intensifying. It seems that wars have broken out more than once!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi felt a subtle mood.
As an ant-like human being, Ye Zhi had to appear under the noses of three higher-level divine powers many times, and he felt under great pressure.
There were two fights between the goddesses, the night of the lunar eclipse and the trial of Minerva. Yeats was there every time! Yeats found that he seemed to have a strange physique that attracted disasters and was always easily drawn into such a whirlpool.
But fortunately, the harvest was fruitful, and Yeats planned to review each one after the dust settled.
The most urgent task is to solve the problem of the Shadow Prince! In mid-air, the blade of the Shadow Sword vibrated hummingly, as if it accepted its inescapable fate and burned the deep purple shadow fire at all costs.
The tip of his sword pointed at Daisy, making a low and terrifying echo.
"If I can beat you once, I can beat you a second time!"
"To be honest, you've made me feel bored." Daisy yawned softly and said coldly, "It's time to put an end to our feud."
After saying that.
Daisy is shrouded in mist and rushes towards the trapped Shadow Sword.
Without the Mother Goddess's attention, the Shadow Prince was like water without a source. Every time he used up his divinity, it decreased. Daisy gradually gained the upper hand and finally seized the opportunity to tightly grasp the Shadow Sword! "Ah——!"
It was the first time Ye Zhi heard the sword scream.
A large amount of mist surged out from Daisy's palm and wrapped the Shadow Sword.
The shadow of the Shadow Prince left on the sword was gradually replaced by a cloud of mist.
Daisy held the sword that had completely turned into mist in her hand, waved it twice, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"The priesthood of trickery is finally back in my hands!" Daisy smiled happily.
The aura emanating from Daisy gradually increased.
Even Ye Zhi, a low-level transcendent, could feel the growth of her divine power.
Yeats was a little surprised, but he had already guessed Daisy's plan.
The reason why she planned this was to avenge the arrow she shot at her in the past, and to get promoted with the help of the power of the Shadow Prince!
Even after the promotion, Daisy had already planned how to face the wrath of the Dark Night Goddess.
She had not paid attention to the fish of wisdom during the whole trial, which was a way to show her loyalty to Minerva and find a supporter in the goddess of magic! In the thick fog, the gray-haired woman's long skirt swayed in the wind, and she held her hair with her slender hands, looking graceful.
She looked up, and in her pupils, a rainbow falling from the sky was reflected.
The colorful rainbow, like a road to heaven, stopped at Daisy's feet.
But she was not in a hurry to climb the rainbow. Instead, she looked back at Yeats, with admiration, favor... and even a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
This rainbow exudes a divine aura, but it is completely different from Minerva's magical divinity.
Yeats was staring at the rainbow when he heard the explanation of Fetan, the fish of wisdom.
"[Rainbow Bridge]."
"It's a bridge connecting the Midgard Continent and the Kingdom of the Gods." Feitan said, "Everyone who wants to ascend from the material realm to the divine realm must pass through this place."
Fei Tan looked at the rainbow light descending from the sky and continued, "The Rainbow Bridge you saw is not the real body of the Rainbow Bridge, but just a branch... If someone tries to ascend to the Divine Realm with a Saint Realm body, the real Rainbow Bridge will descend."
"Well, even though I'm a bit weaker than the gods, it's still fun to play with humans."
Daisy looked at Yeats and said gently, "But now, I can't stay in the material realm for much longer, Yeats."
"Is it because medium-level divine powers are more easily restricted by the laws?" Ye Zhi asked.
"You are very smart. Sometimes, even I can't see through you..."
Daisy stared at Yeats deeply, stood with her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and then smiled: "Smart people often don't live long. Only smart people who pretend to be stupid can have the last laugh..."
"Yeats——"
Daisy's expression became a little serious: "After I ascended to the divine realm, I can no longer provide you with help directly in the material realm like I am doing now."
"However, your use of the Thousand Illusions Eye will be more powerful in the future, and your advancement in the Way of the Trickster will be smoother than before."
Daisy shook the Mist Sword in her hand and smiled: "After all, this thing is under my control now!"
Ye Zhi was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized.
The Trickster was originally a job transfer of the "Wanderer" profession, and the deity it worships is the Prince of Shadows.
Now, Daisy has seized the power of trickery from the Shadow Prince, and Daisy has become the source of the trickster's power.
Moreover, this group of tricksters will continue to provide Daisy with the power of faith.
"I have certainly become the chosen one of the magic gods, so the gains are huge."
Yeats thought:
'But Daisy's improvement far exceeds mine, and even alarmed the Rainbow Bridge, reaching the middle level of divine power! "
Ye Zhi thought to himself… From a short-term perspective, I have lost a great external aid, but in the long run, the Mist Goddess with medium divine power will surely bring more blessings to me, the Chosen One of the Mist Gods.
"Thank you..." Ye Zhi nodded solemnly.
"I should be the one thanking you."
Daisy pursed her lips and smiled, looking down at the fish of wisdom floating beside Yeats, with a hint of warning in her tone: "I hope you don't tell anyone about my relationship with Yeats, okay? Hmm?"
"Who are you?"
Feitan, the fish of wisdom, said in a low voice, with a hint of confusion: "Do I know you?"
Although the Fish of Wisdom has a high status, its combat power is only that of a four-ring goalkeeper, which is almost the same as the Snow Owl who has just become the chosen one of the Magic Gods.
Ye Zhi's mouth twitched.
He who knows the times is a hero!
Daisy smiled.
Immediately, she raised her captivating grey eyes, full of charm.
"There's not much time left. Do you have anything else to ask, Ye Zhi? This may be one of the few opportunities for us to communicate face to face..."
Ye Zhi thought about it, and took this opportunity to obtain information and asked, "Do you know whether the power of the King of the Wild Hunt is low or medium?"
Daisy was slightly stunned. At this moment of separation, shouldn't you express your attachment to me? You actually turned around and asked a stinky man?
“Honestly, I don’t know much about that guy.” Daisy held her forehead and sighed. “He lives in his own realm and has no contact with the gods in the divine realm… In theory, he can come and go freely in the material realm, and maybe he is not even a weak god, but as far as I know, his collection is quite good…”
Divine power is not the key to determining the strength of a god.
Domains, artifacts, mythical beasts, environment... these may all contribute to a weaker god defeating a stronger one.
Ye Zhi thought to himself, although the villagers are weak, they are well-equipped!
When will Gungnir lend me another two days? When the chickens have eaten all the rice and the dogs have licked all the noodles, I will return it to you!
"Have you come into contact with the King of the Wild Hunt? Are you familiar with Him?" Daisy narrowed her eyes slightly.
"He is just like you. He has helped me before." Ye Zhi said calmly, because it was the truth and he was not afraid that Daisy would find out. "I will never forget those who have helped me."
Daisy rolled her eyes at Yeats, then waved her fingertips in the air, and a small cluster of purple mist appeared on her crystal nails.
Immediately, she formed the purple mist into a dagger and handed it to Ye Zhi's palm.
This is a hidden blade as slender as a snake, emitting a dark purple light all over. Runes are carved on the hilt, and the blade is as smooth as flowing water. The whole thing is stored in a dragon leather sleeve.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"This is my last little gift for you, considering you worked so hard just now..."
Daisy forcibly pulled Ye Zhi's hand, put the dragon leather sleeve on Ye Zhi's hand, and smiled: "I don't think I need to teach you how to use the hidden blade, right?"
The profession of trickster provided Ye Zhi with proficiency in the hidden blade. He put on the sleeves and complained in his heart:
"Fortunately, I can use the hidden blade now, so I don't have to cut my ring finger."
Ye Zhi's wrist shook slightly in a specific arc, a cold light flashed from his cuffs, and the sword blade popped out quickly. With another shake, the hidden sword was retracted.
This is actually a rare quality hidden blade, which is even better than June's Red Rose Sword! "Trickery Hidden Blade: rare quality. The hidden blade used by the trickster, with mist flowing faintly on it, as if it has been blessed by the mist. Enchantment: Shadow Tracking, Mist Illusion. Passive: Blade of Terror."
"Shadows of the Past: When you swing your Hidden Blade, a faint mist will appear around you, blurring you in the eyes of the enemy, thus increasing your evasion."
"Mist Illusion: You activate the rune on your Hidden Blade to briefly summon a mist illusion to confuse the enemy. When the mist illusion attacks and hits, it will cause a certain amount of psychic damage."
"Passive: Blade of Fear: When this hidden blade hits an enemy, it will create a terrifying illusion in the enemy's mind and cause additional psychic damage."
Ye Zhi was shocked.
This weapon is several levels higher in quality than his most commonly used weapon, the 'Spirit Shield Sword'.
Apart from the Flute of Pan, this Hidden Blade of Trickery is the most outstanding equipment in his hands!
"As a chef, it makes sense for me to carry a hidden blade with me to cut meat, right?" Ye Zhi thought to himself.
The light of the Rainbow Bridge became brighter and brighter, as if urging Daisy to set off as soon as possible.
Daisy let out a soft sigh...she really wanted to play in the atrium for a while longer.
However, the mission assigned to me by the original body has been completed, and it is time to return to the divine realm... Daisy's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as she recalled the scene of the silver-haired boy rushing towards the Fish of Wisdom and grabbing it tightly.
At least, before leaving, I saw some interesting scenes that will linger in my mind for a long time.
Ye Zhi looked at Daisy's back and said, "Did you really believe in the Shadow Prince at that time?"
“He asked me for advice on magic, and I was very happy because He didn’t think of me as a liar…”
"We had a lot of topics to talk about, but He betrayed me in the end."
The rainbow light enveloped Daisy, and her voice gradually faded away:
"Fortunately, I was more skilled than him. I faked my death to make him believe it. Then He brought my divinity to the courtyard, which is why so many interesting things happened later..."
"After all, I am a liar—"
Daisy laughed heartily, her voice high and clear: "Yeats! Life is an illusion!"
“Don’t try to uncover the truth of life, just have fun and laugh!”
Ye Zhi was staring at the back of the Goddess of Mist on the Rainbow Bridge. She had reached the middle level of divine power and was about to leave this continent.
The silver-haired boy raised a smile and shouted repeatedly: "I believe what you say, Daisy, I believe you!"
Daisy's laughter suddenly stopped.
She stopped at the end of the Rainbow Bridge, looked back at Yeats, and there was something unspeakable in her eyes.
Daisy waved her hand gently, and her figure gradually disappeared in the rainbow light.
Ye Zhi couldn't determine his current location for a moment, so under the leadership of Feitan, the fish of wisdom, he first met up with Gray.
"Gu~!" The snowy owl flapped its wings and landed in Gray's arms.
Gray rubbed its head, then looked at Ye Zhi and asked in surprise: "You and Snow Owl have both made a breakthrough?"
Ye Zhi nodded with a smile: "Snowy Owl and I have become the chosen ones of magic."
Gray smiled as if to say "as expected" and looked at Feitan, who was floating beside Ye Zhi and was as calm as a magician, and said softly:
"Hey, Fetan, do you remember me?"
"Of course." Feitan said calmly, "Although I often forget things, I will never forget important things."
Yeats subconsciously plays with abstract jokes: "Gray is an important person, someone I don't want to forget, someone I can't forget."
The dragon girl was slightly startled, her cheeks flushed, and she said loudly:
"You, you are the same to me, so there is no need to emphasize it again!"
Ye Zhi's face flushed. Facing this straight ball from Gray, he was a little caught off guard and coughed dryly:
"Go...join the others first."
Lakeside.
Under the terrible threat of the battle between gods, only June held on with his tenacious perseverance.
When she witnessed Yeats and the Snowy Owl working together to catch the Fish of Wisdom, her eyes showed an expression of disbelief and shock.
Baron Yeats... became the chosen one of both art and magic! June's heart was unable to calm down, her pupils shrank slightly, reflecting the rainbow light that pierced through the darkness, and she felt grateful and touched for having survived the catastrophe.
"I survived..." June felt the last bit of her strength slip away and she fell to the ground unconscious.
When she woke up again, she saw the silver-haired boy playing Pan's flute under the tree.
The resting song with healing power allowed June, Heti and Celine to regroup.
"Mr. Ye Zhi, could it be that... you caught the fish of wisdom?" Moonlight Saint Celine's voice was weak.
Yeats nodded.
Xilin showed a relieved smile, her face pale and she said tiredly:
"Please... rest assured, from now on, you are the most important partner of the Moonlight Church..."
"I will take full responsibility for Lothair's affairs, and I will not forget to reward you!"
Ye Zhi cast a healing spell on Xilin and said in a gentle voice:
"No need to go to so much trouble, just give me some rare quality equipment!"
Xilin was slightly startled, and smiled bitterly: "With my power... I still cannot determine the ownership of the rare equipment..."
Ye Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Is there a fire gun or something like that? It would be best if it could carry the moonlight fighting spirit!"
As a bard, you need a musket to protect yourself! (End of this chapter)
