Chapter 179 Snow Owl’s New Equipment, Fish of Wisdom, Minerva’s Puzzle
In the history of the Atrium Continent, there once was a Magic God Chosen, who was both a Holy Mage and a Legendary Knight.
It was this man who pioneered the dual cultivation of magic and combat skills, and was known as the 'Salmon Knight'.
This title comes from a story: Legend has it that the Salmon Knight once accidentally obtained a salmon with shining rainbow-colored scales. When the salmon was grilled, the rainbow salmon begged for mercy:
"Hero, I am the fish of wisdom in Minerva's realm. With my help, you can gain extraordinary wisdom, but once you eat me, you will suffer immense pain because of this wisdom!"
The rainbow salmon was scalded by the campfire until it was sizzling with oil, and said bitterly:
"Please put out the flames and let me go!"
"The fish of wisdom?"
The Salmon Knight laughed loudly: "You are so smart, how could you end up like this and be caught by me again?"
"Hero, the reason why I jumped out of Minerva's realm is because of me Want to see a wider world ”
"As a fish of wisdom, the only thing I understand is my ignorance."
The fish of wisdom said: "And the fact that you can catch me proves that you are Minerva's divine choice. You are destined to Create an unprecedented way of arcane knights!”
The salmon knight was very disdainful, but his fingers were accidentally burned while grilling the fish. He sucked the grease on his fingers, and suddenly he became possessed of extraordinary arcane wisdom. poured into his brain.
Only then did he believe the words of the fish of wisdom, and under the guidance of this rainbow salmon, he became a famous Dharma Saint and legendary knight in the mainland.
The library is towering into the sky, with rows of bookshelves filled with books. In this memory palace, Yeats closed the "Salmon Knight Poems" in his hand and thought:
"In the second round of the Magic Goddess Trial, the fishing event to be competed is this [Fish of Wisdom]!"
Consciousness separated from the memory palace.
On the marble terrace on the second floor of the bungalow, Yeats sat at the tea table, picked up a white porcelain teacup, took a sip of hot coffee, looked at the bustling Jianhe River in the distance, and thought to himself:
"As long as the Snowy Owl can win this first round, it will be able to get clues about the [Wise Fish] first..."
"I'm not worried about the Snowy Owl, please give me some help. June, Perron!”
Yeats cheered in his heart and used the eagle eye technique to focus on the silhouette of the 'Lion'.
"What should I do if this big beaver is blocking the way? Should I use the noise spell to drive it away?" Perron stopped playing the drum and turned to ask June, who was paddling hard.
“Don’t ask me.” Jun gritted his teeth and said, “If you have a headache, it’s the people in front who will get it first!”
The giant beaver blocked the middle of the river, and the students from Tame University 'Pegasus' was the first to bear the brunt, and was about to collide with it. Charles sneered, the red agate ring on his hand flashed with red light, silently recited a spell, and the fireball spell quickly flew out of his palm.
The raging fireball bombarded the giant beaver's fur, causing the giant beaver to become angry and frantic. It jumped and set off big waves in the river. The beautiful black-haired witch Heti cooperated with her teammates, continued to chant spells, and used the magic "invisibility curtain" to cover the entire Pegasus.
The giant beaver, which had lost its target, quickly transferred its anger to the oncoming Lion. It took a deep breath and blasted the cold frost breath from its mouth towards June and his party on the ship.
At the critical moment, the snow owl fanned out strong winds, and the fierce wind elements immediately gathered above the river to form a wall of wind, intercepting the frost breath of the giant beaver!
Beside the mirror wall.
Principal Edwin's eyes flickered, and he secretly looked at Principal Fina, who was still in the dark, and said secretly:
"Judging from the efficiency of releasing the wind wall technique, this Snow Owl , and actually masters 'Quick Casting'."
"This talent is rare even among human mages!"
The next moment.
Principal Edwin opened his eyes wide and looked even more surprised.
The second after the Snow Owl released the wind wall technique, he immediately used 'spell counterattack' to crack the 'invisibility curtain' on the Pegasus.
The revealed Pegasus aroused the wrath of the giant beaver, causing its forward speed to be greatly slowed down. The Lion actually showed signs of overtaking!
"Not only fast casting, but also the talent of continuous casting!?"
Edwin's words were full of surprise, and he turned to Principal Fina for confirmation.
Principal Fina's calm face showed emotional fluctuations, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she nodded immediately.
Edwin suddenly felt uneasy.
For three consecutive years, no mage with the talent of ‘continuous casting’ could be found among the freshmen of Tame River University.
The last graduate with this talent now holds a high position in the Mage Guild.
I thought I was sure of victory... Edwin frowned... But who would have thought that an owl would perform so well!
Heti and her teammates spent a lot of time, and finally subdued the giant beaver with the sleep spell. The black-haired girl's eyes were quite solemn, and she reminded:
"That snow owl can counterspell. , stay concealed when casting the spell!"
Charles looked ugly, soaked all over, and rowed hard: "I never thought in my life that I would be so embarrassed by an owl, it is really hateful!"
At this time, heavy fog rose in the river area. Facing the thick fog, Roy McClung, a navigator, cast a spell to summon the 'Magic Navigation Compass' and said calmly:
"This is the maze area , follow my command after breaking in, the people in Jianhe will definitely be trapped in the maze for a long time!"
The Pegasus broke into the fog, and the surrounding environment suddenly turned into a maze under the influence of the illusion.
The Lion has also arrived in the maze area.
The snowy owl stood on the bow of the ship facing the wind and waves, its sharp yellow eyes shining brightly, and its snow-white feathers with black spots hunting in the wind.
Facing the heavy fog, the Snow Owl looked up to the sky and roared. Under its mobilization, the magic power turned into a silvery white flowing halo over the river. From the silvery white halo, a scorching moonlight fell, and the fog suddenly appeared. This melted under the moonlight, and the illusion collapsed!
The 'Moon Flower' that Snow Owl mastered when he was promoted to the second ring has the effect of detecting illusions, and with the blessing of the 'Moon Fire Potion', the effect of the Moon Flower is even more amazing. !
There was an uproar on both sides of the Jian River.
The performance of this owl from Jianhe University already has the demeanor of a high-level mage!
The Lion did not break into the maze at all, but the Snow Owl directly broke the illusion.
While everyone on the Pegasus was still at a loss, the Lion came from behind and directly overtook the Pegasus!
“Jianhe University is actually ahead!”
“It was so far behind just now, and now it is overtaking?”
“This shows the importance of the captain! ”
This scene fell in Princess Celine’s eyes, and shock flashed in her beautiful eyes.
There was actually the aura of the 'Moon Fire Potion' in the Moon Flower just now!
“Did you give another bottle of magic potion to your magic pet?” Princess Celine asked Yeats for confirmation.
Yeats nodded and said with a smile: "It has not been completely digested, but it has mastered most of the power of the moonfire potion."
Princess Celine: "..."
Sure enough, an outrageous beast master will definitely have an outrageous magic pet!
The race continues and has reached the final stage: the storm zone.
Although the Lion was in the upper hand, it was difficult for June to fight with four hands. She was the only one responsible for rowing on the Lion.
Peren Chan played the instrument and she was so angry that she wanted to kill the musician in battle.
But it cannot be cut.
In the storm area, players from both sides can use spells to interfere with each other, and Perun's language spells will play an important role.
now. " Pig, Mudblood, come here!"
Charles has an arrogant temperament, how can Lord Lundu be scolded by a stinky bard who is begging for food?
He was so angry that he dropped the oar and was about to act like a melee mage.
Heti reminded: "You are under a spell, Charles, calm down."
With the help of his teammates, Charles regained his senses, glared at the elf poet angrily, and shouted:
"Why don't you come over?"
"Hey, I won't come over and you hit me?"
"Sit down, Perun!"
June's arms were exhausted, still squeezing the remaining physical energy in her body, relying on inertia to row in the storm, gritted her teeth and said:
"I can see the end point, don't stand on the deck and sway around!" "
At this time, the Pegasus overtook me again. While paddling, Charles looked back at Perun and laughed wildly:
"Hahaha, dead elf, no matter how powerful your teammates are, they can't help you. ”
Boom! !
A streak of thunder streaked through the sky, and the thunder roared along with the passionate cheers of the audience on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The heavy rain wetted the snowy owl's feathers, and it flapped its wings, condensing rapid airflow.
Acceleration!
The acceleration technique created a tailwind, allowing the Lion to speed up again.
“Damn it, this owl can actually accelerate!” Charles exclaimed, “They’re catching up, think of a way, Hetty!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll read it. Curse!" Heti also chanted the acceleration spell.
"You read it too late!" Charles said angrily.
"Not all mages can cast spells quickly." Roy said calmly, "That snowy owl can do it."
Huh~
On the Lion When he was about to catch up, the acceleration technique released by Heti increased the speed of the Pegasus!
The bow of the ship, which is engraved with a lion, and the bow of the ship, which is engraved with a pegasus, are chasing each other. You come and I go, the leading positions of both sides are constantly changing, and the gap is less than an arm's length.
The snowy owl stood proudly on the bow of the ship, raised its round head, and gave the command:
"Goo!"
Go ahead at full speed! !
Heti has also used all means, and the only thing left is a competition of willpower, and she said in a concentrated voice: "Go at full speed!!" In the heavy rain, Perun injected the magic of inspirational music into the passionate drumbeats. , with an operatic tenor, loudly said:
"June Lannister! Don't let Elsa cry for your failure!"
"I must kill you!!"
The gold on June's body The fighting spirit was pushed to the extreme.
The mana rope at the end is close at hand.
The difference between the bows of the two ships is only a millimeter.
At this time.
The snowy owl spread its wings and flew.
The weight of the hull has been slightly reduced, but for June, this is already the biggest help!
“Huh?!”
Looking at the Lion catching up with the Pegasus, Charles showed a look of astonishment and confusion.
Perun looked at the snowy owl flying with the Lion and said in shock:
"Is it really a genius?!"
This unexpected scene made Heti and Roy's pupils shrink. , the strength in his body seemed to be suddenly taken away.
The Lion crossed the finish line one hull ahead of the Pegasus! !
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The storm formed by the spell has subsided, the sun breaks through the dark clouds, and a rainbow hangs in the clear and bright sky.
Candra stood on the river bank at the end with a smile, waiting. The sky behind him was filled with brilliant sparks from pyrotechnics.
Candra couldn't help but feel longing in her heart.
"Do I really have a chance to become a teacher chosen by the magic god?"
Warm cheers and passionate shouts rang out, and audiences on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were competing for this top university. Cheers to the winner.
“It turns out that the snowy owl is the winner!”
“Minerva uses the owl as her sacred animal, so I’m afraid it has already determined the champion!”
“It’s over...lost everything. ..."
In the viewing area, the picture on the mirror wall disappeared.
Principal Edwin let out a long sigh in his heart.
If they can win the competition, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the reputation of Tame River University.
But now, all the flowers and applause belong to Snow Owl and Jianhe University.
He stood up, shook hands with Principal Fina, and said gently:
"Congratulations, Principal Fina, your school has really admitted an unexpected student."
A smile appeared on Fina's cold face, she nodded lightly, and then said:
"The selection of the Magic God will be officially decided in the second round. I look forward to the performance of your students in the final round."
Edwin has already learned about the second round of trial items and said dumbly:
< br>"The owl must also have an advantage when hunting the [Fish of Wisdom]... I would like to take the liberty to ask, does this magical creature have an owner?"
Fina said: "It is Lecturer of our school, Baron Yeats’s magic pet.”
The surprise in Edwin’s eyes was clear: “That artistic god?”
Fina nodded.
Edwin was both surprised and sighing in his heart...if the magic pet of the God of Art could really catch the fish of wisdom and become the Chosen of Magic.
The Baron Yeats family, isn’t it...a double divine choice! ?
The second floor of the bungalow.
Meghan, Gray and Celine celebrate Yeats.
"Congratulations, it's more likely that your demon pet will become the chosen one by magic." Megan smiled.
Celine said with a smile: "A snowy owl appeared on the dual-school trial, and the effect was so ideal. Looking back now, it's still a bit incredible."
"Well... Chapter The second round will be held soon, and the Moonlight Church must also be prepared." Megan reminded Celine to be wary of the Dark Night People.
Celine nodded, stood up gracefully, and said goodbye to everyone.
Along the Cam River, the response was still enthusiastic. Looking at the river bank, Yeats could not help but smile.
My snowy owl has the appearance of a Dharma Saint!
*
The first round of trials is over.
In order to thank Snow Owl for his outstanding performance, Principal Fina specifically asked Yeats if he had any need for rewards.
After all, Jianhe University achieved a very high reputation in this trial, and Fina felt that she should really express herself.
Yeats was well prepared and asked for a portion of castoreum to prepare the "Petrel Potion".
The Petrel Potion requires 5g of castoreum, a portion of Thunder Bluff Tail, 5g of cuttlefish bone powder, 200 ml of icy sea water and a Thunder Bluff purple root.
Among the materials, Thunder Bluff Tail, Yeats has already received it from Duke Vic. Among the remaining materials, only ‘Thunder Bluff Purple Root’ is difficult to obtain.
"Thunder Bluff is the sphere of influence of the Tauren..." Yeats secretly thought, "I remember that Perun had an ex-girlfriend who was a Tauren. He might have channels."
In addition to castoreum, Fina also prepared for Yeats a memory crystal of the 'Three Ring Spell: Lightning Strike', and a magic scroll recording the fourth ring spell 'Ice Storm'.
The Thunderbolt Technique, as the name suggests, summons a thunderbolt. Both Snow Owl and Snow Leopard can master this spell.
Learning spells with the help of memory crystals is much easier than learning spells with scrolls. The former can learn new spells in just a few hours.
"The memory crystal of the lightning technique can be given to the snow owl to learn, and then it can be taught to the snow leopard after it has learned it." Yeats thought to himself.
Ice storm is a high-level spell, an advanced version of rain and snowstorm, and can be upgraded into a snowstorm in the future.
You don’t have to rush to learn the fourth-level spell. Give the scroll to Snow Owl first, and you can also give Teacher Candela some free time to teach Snow Owl a few more tricks.
Yeats was in a delicate mood.
"Maybe in a while, it will be Snow Owl's turn to point out Teacher Candela..."
The last reward, called 'Arcane Glasses', is a pair of silver glasses. Chain monocle made of glass crystal.
It can increase the power of spell casting and improve concentration when chanting spells and drawing scrolls.
In the palace, Yeats asked the snow owl to wear arcane glasses.
The snowy owl wears a monocle, revealing the aura of a wise man.
Yeats's eyes lit up.
“Elegant, so elegant!”
I feel like I can add a dress and a top hat to the snowy owl.
“I remember that the parrot in the library of Jianhe University seemed to have a top hat, and it was also a magic prop...”
Yeats looked at the sky and said: "This thing is destined to be my owl!"
That night, Candela came to visit and brought news about the second round of trials.
The reminder about the trial is no different from what Yeats remembers, it is exactly [Fishing].
“When the second round of trials begins, both players need to go to the top floor of the ‘Minerva Bell Tower’ at Jianhe University and use the teleportation gate to reach Minerva’s divine realm.”
Candra said: "And there, catch the [Fish of Wisdom] recorded in the "Salmon Knight Poems"."
"'Salmon with shining iridescent scales'..." Gray looked strange when hearing this description, "Does it sound like it's poisonous?"
"Is the fish of wisdom you want to catch going to be? Is it the same as in the story?" Yeats asked.
"It's very possible." Candela glanced at Yeats's expectant eyes, understood the apprentice's thoughts, and smiled, "That's Minerva's divine fish, don't think about it. Has it been eaten?”
Yeats searched the food knowledge in his mind and found that there was a recipe that actually used the wise fish.
However, the real value of the Fish of Wisdom lies in its ability to solve most of the puzzles in the world. It is because of its help that the Salmon Knight can smoothly advance to the Holy Realm.
"Because the Snowy Owl is the winner of the first round, it can get hints about the location of the Fish of Wisdom."
Candela handed Yeats a note.
It said:
“I am cold whether alive or dead;
I am never thirsty, although I can never stop drinking;
< br>
What is always old, sometimes new;
Never sad, sometimes melancholy;
Never leaving, but always drawing closer?
My friend, I look up to you. "
Gray came over, looked at the note, and said in confusion: "This prompt is the same as no prompt! ”
"I don't know much about the hints, but cracking the puzzle will help find the wise fish faster." Candela smiled, "Yeats, I wish you and the Snowy Owl good luck."
Gray snorted.
Mysterious!
When the Snow Owl catches the fish of wisdom, Yeats will definitely make it delicious!
