Chapter 301 Medis, God of Messengers
Southern Province, Corinth Bay.
The strong wind blew Yeats's goatskin cloak, and he looked from a high altitude, and the blue harbor came into view.
Golden Lion has plateaus in the north, plains in the middle, and rivers in the south. There is a Fred Strait across the sea from the Kingdom of Roland.
The caravan set sail from the Gulf of Klins, reaching as far as Oslo in the north and as far as the Gray Nose Cape of Roland in the south. This place became an important trading port.
There are a large number of ships moored in the port, and a lighthouse stands on the port. On the top of the tower is an image of a young man wearing a winged hat and holding a double snake staff. He is shirtless and watches the harbor with lifelike eyes.
“That is the god of messengers, whom we honor as the [Wind Rider].”
The blind girl Hebe, wearing a silver carved eyepatch, seemed to be aware of Yeats’s Looking at him, he said softly:
"A clever and cunning messenger, agile and eloquent. He is the god of commerce, a dreamer, a traveler, and a cattle thief. He has a melodious singing voice and is good at the art of music... ..."
"How can a thief who steals cattle become the patron saint of business?" Gray asked puzzledly.
Yeats rubbed his chin and said: "Perhaps in the eyes of the God of Messengers, commerce and robbery are similar."
Gray thoughtfully murmured: "No wonder this port There will be a statue of the Messenger God built on the lighthouse!"
Hebe nodded lightly and said:
"The Messenger God is also one of the patron saints of bards. ”
“The bard and thief serve the Wind Rider, possessing the two career paths of [Wandering Poet] and [Skillful Thief]”
"The Wind Rider often performs his miracles, protecting caught thieves, lost messengers, defendants who cannot explain themselves, or injured athletes... Compared with those gods that have disappeared, the Wind Rider sends down blessings. There are many more examples.”
After hearing Hebe’s explanation, Yeats thought to himself.
There are quite a few patron saints of bards, including the god of art, the god of messengers, and the god of love. You can choose them as the career path you want to follow.
The professional characteristic of [Wandering Poet] is that he knows everything, is knowledgeable and has outstanding eloquence, but is relatively inferior in music, magic and combat.
It is worth mentioning that the messenger god is the inventor of the marathon, moves like the wind, and is also the patron saint of [boxing] sports and athletes.
Along with this, the wandering poet's athletic ability has been enhanced, and his fighting ability ranks first among many poet professions.
——If you don’t know the music, the troubadour also knows some tricks!
"Your Excellency, Duke, that is Mount Julier."
Yeats followed the direction pointed by Hebei and saw a mountain with lush trees and mist.
“In the legend of the old era, the messenger god hunted a spiritual creature called the [Sage Turtle] there, and made a lyre from the turtle shell... That lyre, It becomes a symbol of the musical authority of the Messenger God.”
"Isn't Yeats going to participate in the trial left by the God of Light? Why does it sound like this trial was set up by the God of Messenger?" Gray asked strangely.
Hebe pursed his lips slightly and said: "This legendary lyre was later given to the God of Light by the God of Messengers... This trial was mentioned in the prophecy of the Goddess of Youth, It will be closely related to the lyre of the God of Light."
Gray looked at Yeats suddenly, and saw Yeats's eyes were deep, and he nodded and said:
"This lyre is destined to me! ”
The God of Light has disappeared. As the Messenger God who is closely related to the God of Light, it is reasonable for him to descend incarnate and watch over the trials left by Him.
[The Musical Trial of the God of Light] is Yeats’s most impressive original plot.
——Players need to change jobs to become a bard who follows the path of art, then go to Mount Uriel to pass the three major trials, and finally obtain the [Lyre of the God of Light] at the same level as Pan Flute.
In the future, this lyre can grow into a legend. It is an artifact on the same level as the Silver Sword. It symbolizes the authority of music. Even the goddess of art will be amazed by the music played by this lyre.
It has been more than a year since I came to this world, and many plots have changed greatly compared to Yeats's memory. Fortunately, the content of this trial should not be much different from the original.
Yeats recalled carefully and said to himself:
"On the way up the mountain, players will encounter the woodcutter, the thirsty messenger and the lovelorn bard respectively, and these three characters are all incarnated by the messenger god."
"Solve these three in a row. With this branch, you can trigger a hidden plot in the trial and participate in the trial with the [Wandering Poet] transformed by the God of Messengers... Due to the increase in challengers, the trial will be more difficult, but after this hidden mission is over , you can also get an additional treasure from the God of Messengers, [Wind Controller's Wing Shoes]"
[Wind Controller's Wing Shoes] can greatly enhance the flying ability of the extraordinary, wearing wings. The shoes can walk on the wind, and can be used simultaneously with the Wings of Poetry, which is very effective in aerial duels.
Since we know the direction, there is no reason not to hide it.
For Yeats, it seems like a plot set by a game. In this world, it is a force of destiny similar to "fate".
Fate sometimes deviates, but most of the time it returns to the right track. Yeats, who understands the direction of the original work, is like a profound mage of the prophecy school, who has some insight into the direction of fate.
"We'd better walk to the Holy Mountain to avoid unnecessary trouble." Hebe suggested.
This kind of holy land with trials often has various taboos. To be cautious, the three of them landed at the foot of Mount Uriel and walked up the mountain road.
In the clear sky, a crow landed on the wing cap of the statue of God the Messenger of the Lighthouse. Its crimson eyes reflected Yeats and the three climbing mountains.
Soon, the crow spread its wings. In an instant, it was already in the forest with lush trees. It flapped its wings and landed next to a clear lake, turning into a young woodcutter.
"Ahem!" The woodcutter pinched his throat and cleared it forcefully, "It's no use hiding, Water Fairy, I know you are here!"
Ripples appeared on the lake surface, and from the center of the lake, A beautiful girl in a white dress and a wreath of flowers rose up. Her clear black eyes were full of curiosity, and she tilted her head to look at the woodcutter.
Water nymph, also known as nymph, is a natural spirit, sometimes regarded as a kind of fairy. Similar to her are forest nymphs, mountain nymphs and lake elves.
The woodcutter's face was weathered, but his eyes were very smart. His voice changed from that of a young boy to that of an old woodcutter, and he said solemnly:
"The footsteps of travelers came from the distance. I want you to do me a little favor. I will throw an ax into the lake later. If you want to do this..."
Sweep——
Gray pushed aside the bushes and walked out of the thorny path. After listening for a while, she said in surprise:
"Yeats, someone seems to be crying!"< br>
Yeats's heart moved and he said: "Go over and have a look."
Beside the clear lake, the woodcutter sat on a stone and wiped his tears.
"I've seen this episode." Yeats complained in his heart, "The river god gave me three axes."
In the barren mountains and ridges, a woodcutter was "spawned" out of thin air. Combined with the plot of the original work, Yeats The identity of this woodcutter has been guessed, and he is obviously the incarnation of the Messenger God.
The God of Messengers is cunning and clever. Like the Goddess of the Mist, he has the power to deceive. This is one of the reasons why He can serve as the patron saint of thieves.
Unfortunately, there is also a little squirrel who is good at coaxing living in Yeats’ soul realm.
Dian Ya recognized the woodcutter's strangeness at a glance and sighed: "Yeats, your physique is really special."
Yeats pretended to be confused and said: "What do you mean?"
Drilling his teeth and said: "I just remind you to be careful about being deceived!"
Yeats deliberately ignored the woodcutter and was about to go around. As the road passed by, the woodcutter's cry suddenly became louder, and he cried loudly:
"Axe! Why did the ax I used to eat accidentally fall into the river!"
< br>While crying, the woodcutter glanced at Yeats with his peripheral vision, fearing that he might not hear.
Yeats: "..." In the plot, the player has to go into the river a total of three times, fish out three axes: gold, silver, and iron, and ask the woodcutter three times in total before the woodcutter will say that the iron ax is the one he left behind. .
When delivering the iron axe, if the woodcutter’s little moves are not noticed, he will swap the iron axe with the gold axe.
At this time, the water fairy will appear from the lake and ask for the other two axes in the player's hand.
If you fail to discover the woodcutter's package swap, you will face the curse of the water fairy, and the hidden mission will fail.
There are also evil methods of throwing the woodcutter into the river or killing the water nymph.
But you will be at odds with the messenger god. The key is to throw the other ax back into the lake when you pick up one axe.
"Why don't you go into the river to fish yourself?" Gray asked.
"I can't swim." The woodcutter choked, "I heard that there is a curse in this lake... But without an axe, how can I live?"
"Insatiable greed. Those who do not will be rejected by fairies," Hebe said softly, "This is a prophecy that has been spread on the Holy Mountain since ancient times."
Professional matters should be left to professional work.
Yeats summoned the fish of wisdom and said:
"Feitan, get an axe!"
See the shining iridescent holy fish of Minerva , a deep strange color flashed across the woodcutter’s eyes, and he said with tears in his eyes:
“Yes, but I haven’t said yet, what kind of ax I lost!”
"I lost two axes here a few years ago, one is gold and the other is silver."
Yeats said casually: "No matter what kind of ax I fished out, I'll look at it first." See if it’s the two I threw away!”
Under the lake, the water fairy was slightly stunned.
When did you throw an ax here?
The woodcutter was equally strange. How did he know the content of the assessment I had set?
In addition, this sacred object is closely related to the goddess of wisdom. Could it be a tip given to him by Minerva, the goddess of wisdom?
Soon, Feitan picked up a shining golden axe.
Gray exclaimed: "Yeats, have you really thrown an ax in this lake?!"
Yeats said dumbly: "It's possible, but I don't want it anymore, Just give it to the Water Fairy."
The Water Fairy was slightly startled.
You are quite generous!
Subsequently, Feitan picked up another silver axe, and Yeats generously said that he did not want this axe.
The woodcutter couldn't help but said: "How can you prove that these two axes are yours?"
Yeats said cheerfully: "It just looks familiar."
Immediately, Feitan picked up an iron axe, and the woodcutter's eyes widened:
"Yes, this is the ax I lost!"
Yeats asked: "How do you prove that this ax is yours?"
The woodcutter was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to answer, his expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.
Yeats smiled and asked Fetan to hand the ax to the woodcutter, saying:
“Don’t thank me too much, thank the Water Fairy.”
Seeing the backs of Yeats and his party gradually disappearing, the woodcutter's eyes flickered and he murmured:
"He seems to have recognized my identity, so he deliberately argued with me?"
The Water Fairy appeared on the lake beside the woodcutter and whispered:
"He seems to have the ability to predict the future... You originally wanted to test his eyesight and prediction ability, which is much better than eyesight. "
The woodcutter rubbed his chin, suddenly grinned and said:
"This trial seems to have a good seed. I want to go there myself...let me observe it again!"
On the subsequent mountaineering trip, Yeats met a man who had been possessed by witchcraft. The messenger is dying of thirst.
Originally, this witchcraft can only be alleviated by the spring water given by the water fairy in the previous branch.
Yeats used the Fountain of Minerva to pour heavily on the messenger. The curse on his body disappeared without the messenger even reacting.
The messenger looked at Yeats blankly, becoming increasingly unable to see through this mortal.
You are obviously the chosen one by the Goddess of Youth, but you have repeatedly shown abilities related to the Goddess of Wisdom... Are you chosen by the two gods like the famous Odyssey?
Odyssey, the protagonist of the epic poem of the same name "The Odyssey", used the "Trojan Horse Strategy" on the battlefield in his early years and won the favor of the goddess of strategy. In his later years, he wandered on the sea for more than ten years before returning home with difficulty, and was deeply loved by the goddess of wisdom. favor.
This level was passed easily, and soon we came to the third level in Yeats’ memory.
In the valley deep in Mount Julier, a huge rune stone stands.
Beside the rune stone, a bard played his lyre melancholy.
The bard claimed that his wife died of illness and wanted to revive her through trials.
Gray complained in a low voice: "There are so many strange people on this mountain..."
Heb whispered: "This may also be part of the trial, Your Excellency Gray. "
Gray nodded slightly and muttered: "The Sword of Lian Yincan Yeats was able to pass through all the trials, and the mere trial of the lyre was not a problem for him at all.”
The wandering poet transformed into the god of messengers called himself “Medius” and kept it. Long hair, melancholic temperament, exuding a sense of despair, he said slowly:
"I received a prophecy from a witch. My wife's soul is trapped in this deep mountain. I will use the power of music to rescue her... Please allow me to participate in the trial with you."
< br>Considering the [Winged Boots of the Wind Rider], Yeats agreed, and together with Medis, they placed their hands on the boulder engraved with the sacred emblem of the Light.
A familiar light and divinity surged from the boulder, and immediately, the surrounding scene changed.
This is actually a field surrounded by periwinkles. There is a gloomy mist in the air. The scene seems familiar.
Yeats suddenly realized.
It’s the underworld that Daisy once took me to!
The first level of the trial of the God of Light is to use music to hypnotize the three-headed dog of hell so that it can pass through the gate of the underworld.
"Follow me." Yeats patted Medis on the shoulder, and walked ahead to lead the way.
Medis:? ? ?
Why are you so familiar with this place?
