Chapter 187: Taking Stock of the Harvest! Minerva Fountain

In the Grand Duchy of Lucia, in the Moonlight Temple in the capital, there is a flintlock pistol named "Eclipse".

The original owner once used this flintlock pistol to shoot and kill a vampire duke who was a six-ring master, and became famous for a time.

What gave him great help was the "Moon of Destruction" feature of this firearm.

This feature can effectively restrain undead and shadow creatures, and can convert the mana injected into the flintlock pistol into moonlight bullets.

Ye Zhi had longed for firearms, and he also possessed the moonlight fighting spirit, which made him highly compatible with the lunar eclipse.

Therefore, Ye Zhi remembered the weapon that had appeared in the plot and took this opportunity to ask Celine.

"I remember that there is a weapon that meets your requirements in the temple. It has shot and killed a high-ring vampire."

Xilin leaned against the shade of the tree, and smiled weakly at Ye Zhi who was casting the healing spell. "I will send this weapon to Golden Lion as soon as possible, and then I will show it to you to see if you are satisfied..."

After hearing Celine's description, Yeats knew that he was about to get the Eclipse, a flintlock pistol with a noble origin.

With the characteristics of the lunar eclipse, this flintlock pistol can also release the combat skill "Moonlight Sword".

Ye Zhi nodded slightly, thinking: "What era is it now? We are still using traditional swordsmanship. It's time to try new swordsmanship!"

When Ye Zhi caught the fish of wisdom, June witnessed it with her own eyes, leaving an indelible shock in her heart. After Heti and Celine woke up, they saw the fish of wisdom appear next to Ye Zhi, and they also realized that it was Ye Zhi who finally passed the trial and became the magic god's choice.

Heti was more grateful for surviving the disaster. Her eyes were red and she lowered her head, still frightened by the terrifying sound of the collision between the gods.

Celine looked at the fish of wisdom shrouded in rainbow light, and seeing that it was just floating silently, she withdrew her gaze and began to calmly analyze the situation ahead.

The divinity of Minerva came with the birth of the God of Magic, and the conspiracy of the Dark Night Sect eventually came to nothing.

What surprised Celine was that the chess piece sent by the Dark Night Cult would be Lothair, the prince of a great country.

He eventually died from the betrayal of his teammates, but Celine was still confused as to why that teammate named 'Mist Demon' suddenly turned against him and why he possessed a power no less than that of the Shadow Prince.

There is solid evidence that Lothair is colluding with the Cult of Darkness, so even if he, as a prince, dies here, Celine is not afraid of the pursuit from the King of Luxembourg.

What concerned her more was how Yeats caught the fish of wisdom and how he bore two divinities at the same time.

According to the stereotyped view of academia, there can be at most one divinity in a person, otherwise the person will die due to a conflict between divinities.

But this argument is not always applicable, because in history, there have indeed been cases of two gods being elected together, but they were very rare.

The most famous double god selection was undoubtedly a hero who had offered the "Trojan Horse Plan" to break into the city.

He was chosen by the goddess of strategy and wisdom, and the bard also wrote an immortal epic called "Odyssey" with him as the protagonist.

Being chosen by God is already rare in the world, let alone being chosen by two gods. It can even be said that future generations are destined to compose an epic for Yeats, who was chosen by two gods! "At this point, we can only report this matter to the Moonlight Church and wait for the Elders to discuss it before making a decision..."

Celine's eyes flickered as she looked at Ye Zhi who was treating June. A complex mix of emotions, including trust, admiration, and suspicion, flashed through her heart. She thought to herself:

"No matter what, Ye Zhi is chosen by both the God of Magic and the God of Art. The Moonlight Church must befriend him!"

June's injuries were not serious, she was just a little dazed. While Ye Zhi was helping her treat her, she stared at him blankly.

"Are you sad about not becoming an Arcane Knight?" Yeats asked casually.

June came back to his senses, a blush flashed across his short-haired handsome face, and he said in a low voice: "I just think... Elsa... her vision is actually quite good..."

"Huh?" Ye Zhi was stunned.

June knew that he had said something wrong, so he coughed and changed the subject, "So, the assassin who attacked you and Celine at the banquet a few days ago was also instigated by Lothar?"

“Now it seems that this is indeed the case.”

"But he is just a prince, so why would he have to take action himself?" June frowned.

Ye Zhi thought of Lothar's roar when he grabbed the Sword of Shadow, and his regretful look before he died, and said thoughtfully:

"Perhaps... he is not content to be just a prince."

"The death of the Elector's son is a troublesome matter." June patted Yeats's shoulder, "But don't worry, I, Lannister, will stand by you."

Yeats felt that Celine's kindness was mostly out of respect for himself as the one chosen by the two gods.

The way June interacts with me is more like that of friends of the same generation.

"Good brother." Ye Zhi nodded.

"Tsk..." June was shocked and immediately asked, "After becoming the Chosen One of Wisdom, have you learned any powerful new spells? Oh, I'm just curious, just tell me if you have or not."

"No." Ye Zhi said truthfully, "I just learned a new spell."

"Ah?" June was confused.

As the chosen one of magic, one should have gained a lot of knowledge about magic. How is it possible that one can only learn a new spell?

What Ye Zhi said was true. He just glanced at the panel and apart from the new talents and blessings, he had only learned the 'Flash' skill.

Feitan's calm and gentle voice rang in Ye Zhi's heart.

"Although you are the worst chosen class of magicians I have ever taught, as long as you don't lose heart, you will definitely be able to learn something."

Ye Zhi: “…”

Thank you for your encouragement! I can only say that my magic talent is too poor. Even if I become the chosen one of magic gods, I can only say that I am just barely qualified.

Maybe all my intelligence is put into charm... Yeats secretly complained... At this time, a handsome guy with an IQ of 9 passed by!

"My Snow Owl has also become the chosen one of magic."

Ye Zhi said: "It has learned a lot of new spells."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet. June stood there in a daze. Heti and Celine also stopped moving at the same time. They looked around at Ye Zhi and the snowy owl beside him with an incredible look in their eyes.

This news exploded in everyone's mind like a heavy bomb. Heti stuttered:

"Teacher Ye Zhi, you and Snow Owl are both chosen by the magic gods?"

Ye Zhi smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "The true meaning of wisdom lies in sharing. In the end, we caught the fish of wisdom together, and Minerva's divinity also fell into my body and Snow Owl's body at the same time."

Celine's face was filled with shock.

Even Ye Zhi's magical pet was chosen by God! Is there a possibility that Ye Zhi is actually a relative of a certain god, otherwise how could he receive so many blessings?

Unconsciously, because of the existence of Snow Owl, Ye Zhi's position in the heart of Moonlight Saint was once again elevated! Ye Zhi knew that once the news that he and Snow Owl had become the chosen ones of magic gods was announced to the outside world, it would inevitably cause a huge sensation and might even lead to the church's pursuit.

But precisely because of this, I should announce this news in order to gain the attention and protection of the Mages Guild.

After all, he had been at war with the church for a long time, and he was also cursed by the apostles, which could only be resolved by finding the [Mistletoe].

If only we could completely eliminate the threat posed by the Evil Eye Apostle...

Ye Zhi frowned slightly, and a plan came to his mind.

The King of the Wild Hunt said that He was hunting down the seven apostles.

When I go to the Witch's Night to look for [Mistletoe], the Evil Eye Apostle may also come.

On Witch Night, there will be many beautiful witches dancing around the bonfire and drinking fine wine. The scene is very erotic...

Ye Zhi thought to himself that the old pervert, the King of the Wild Hunt, would most likely not miss this kind of party!

The trial is over.

Everyone is ready to leave here.

Yeats asked Fetan for advice on how to leave.

“If you want to leave the water source, you must find a portal to the outside world,” Feitan said.

"Where is the portal?" Yeats asked.

The fish of wisdom was silent for a long time, and there seemed to be a crow flying across the black spot in the sky.

After a while, Fei Tan said calmly: "I forgot about it."

Yeats: ??? "If you let me drink from the fountain of Minerva, I might be able to remember it," said Fetan.

Minerva is also known as the goddess of springs. According to legend, she used her divine power to create a spring based on the principle of the [Fountain of Wisdom]. The spring is extremely sweet and anyone who drinks it can gain arcane wisdom.

The origin of this [Fountain of Wisdom] is even older than Minerva. According to legend, it appeared at the roots of the World Tree before the birth of the gods.

"Where can I find Minerva's fountain for you?" Gray clenched her fists. "Fetan, think about it carefully!"

Feitan: "But... I really can't remember..."

Can even wise fish become forgetful?

Ye Zhi's mouth twitched, and then he said calmly: "Minerva's fountain water, right? Just wait, I'll give it to you!"

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

After saying this, Ye Zhi scooped up his palms, and a clear spring gradually gushed out from his palms.

Gray and Feitan both looked surprised.

Ye Zhi suppressed the upward curve of his lips and glanced at the panel.

This is the blessing he had just received from Minerva.

"Blessing: Fountain of Minerva: You summon a pool of sweet and clear spring water from Minerva's spring. The spring water has the effects of replenishing mana, removing toxins and restoring. The spring water can exist continuously and can be put into the water bag."

Goddess Minerva understands me, and this blessing is very suitable for me as a cook.

Yeats thought to himself that if the meat was cooked in Minerva water, it would definitely be fresh and delicious without any smell! Then, Yeats turned his eyes to the wise salmon that floated over and lowered its head to drink water.

"Although the oil secreted by Fetan is painful, it can be turned into delicious fish oil if it is heated over high heat."

Ye Zhi thought: "The Fountain of Minerva, plus the wise salmon oil, this trip will yield two high-quality ingredients!"

Feitan was sipping spring water when he suddenly felt an eerie feeling. He looked up and saw Yeats looking at him with a smile.

As if seeing through Ye Zhi's thoughts, Fei Tan said helplessly: "What's wrong with you, the chosen ones of magic? Are you all thinking about how to eat me?"

Ye Zhi was surprised and said, "I didn't, I just wanted to ask you for some fish oil!"

Fei Tan was stunned: "Do you know that the oil on my body can be used for cooking?"

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I am a food chef, and my attainments are not low."

This time it was Feitan's turn to be surprised. He really didn't expect that Ye Zhi actually had the skills in the art of eating! Alchemy, enchantment, and forging are the "three magical gods" of life professions. The masters of each profession are even more respected than the masters of combat professions.

Although professions such as fishing, catering, sewing, and inscription are not as good as the "Three Fantasy Gods", they can also undergo qualitative changes if they are cultivated to a high level.

Yeats's attainments in food feasting were at the master level, exceeding human limits, and he also had remarkable insights into alchemy, herbology, and fishing.

"How is your attainment in food feasting? Is it at the proficient level or the expert level?" Fei Tan was a little concerned.

Yeats smiled but said nothing.

Master level? How old are you? How can you have master level food skills? When Fei Tan was skeptical, Ye Zhi said, "I am a master food chef."

Feitan was stunned on the spot, and the spring water slipped out of his mouth before he could drink it.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I'll have a chance to show it to you in the future." Ye Zhi smiled.

According to the story of the Salmon Knight, the wise salmon will serve as the teacher of the Chosen One of Magic until the end of the Chosen One's journey.

Yeats guessed that it was because Feitan had experienced too many years and possessed too much knowledge that he was so forgetful.

But Feitan never forgets his friends...that's what's so adorable about this fish.

Fei Tan looked at Ye Zhi for a long time, still in disbelief, and then said:

"You were able to obtain the [Blessing - Fountain of Minerva] because the goddess was worried that you would not be able to use the offensive spell blessing freely, so she gave you a blessing that is relatively easy to release..."

Yeats had mixed feelings.

What nonsense are you talking about? Sooner or later I will stew you!

"But this Minerva Fountain is genuine. I have remembered the location of the portal. Let me lead the way..."

Everyone followed Feitan to the exit of the trial site.

Halfway through, Ye Zhi began to take stock of the gains from this trial of the Magic Goddess.

A rare weapon, the 'Deceitful Hidden Blade'.

A magical flintlock pistol, 'Eclipse', on delivery.

After breaking through the third ring, in addition to comprehending the flash technique and the Fountain of Minerva, he also gained a new talent.

[Talent·Language Scholar: You are proficient in most languages ​​in this world. The effect of your language spells is improved, and your speed of learning languages ​​is greatly improved.]

This talent, similar to the Thousand Illusions Eyes and Aesthetic Art, is the reward for becoming the Chosen One.

Ye Zhi found that he even mastered the pronunciation skills of ancient language and dragon language, but he could not release magic through dragon language like the dragons.

"Oh, by the way, I can teach Gray how to speak Dragon Language." Ye Zhi was delighted. "If she encounters something she doesn't understand, she can come and ask me, the Dragon Language Master, for help!"

The Snowy Owl broke through the fourth ring and became the strongest fighter in the team. It also comprehended new talents and new spells.

[Talent: Arcane Wisdom: You gain wisdom from the arcane, learning arcane will be easier, and the power of arcane spells will be increased.]

[Spell·Arcane Shock: With the caster as the center, release a layer of arcane shock wave to the surroundings, shocking the enemy and causing arcane damage.]

[Blessing·Spell Resonance: When the enemy casts a spell through the magic net, you can use this blessing to imitate the opponent's spell. ]

The so-called arcane spells mainly include: Arcane Missiles, Arcane Concussion, Arcane Blast, etc., which are good at using small-power moves to quickly perform combos.

Snow Owl's original main area of ​​study was frost magic.

But now, with this talent 'Arcane Wisdom', Snow Owl can completely develop in the direction of an arcane mage.

The Snow Owl's talent was already quite good, and now with the added bonus brought by the Magic God's Chosen One, it was not difficult for him to become a Sanctuary Mage.

Yeats was lost in thought, thinking immaturely.

Merlin? He is just an ordinary person who was born in an era without snowy owls! He passed through the portal and left the trial ground.

The sight of the Minerva bell tower came into view again.

The black-haired witch had a solemn expression on her face as she guarded this place. She was surprised when she saw the light coming from the portal.

Yeats and others appeared.

Megan looked around at everyone, her eyes fixed on Fetan, the fish of wisdom, and then she became aware of the aura emanating from Yeats, unable to hide her surprise.

"Ye Zhi...you, have become the chosen one of magic?"

Ye Zhi nodded and smiled:

"And the Tree of Life has been promoted to the third ring. Next, I should consider career advancement."
