Not far from the Feathered Emperor’s palace, in a deserted alley, a figure in a white robe with black hair magically “swooshed” out.
“Ahhh, this time it’s really embarrassing! I knew that thing was not reliable!”
The great, noble priestess, possessing unimaginable power for ordinary mortals, was now scratching her head, holding her head, and looking embarrassed, like a monkey who had just been spanked.
She had confidently reassured Felina, saying, “Don’t worry, it absolutely won’t be noticed.” Yet, the eavesdropping was caught by the person involved, leading to a direct confrontation, a fight, and finally, a hasty escape. Such an incident could easily find its way into the “Miss Violet’s Career Black History Collection,” becoming a secret she would guard with her life.
It was so embarrassing, incredibly embarrassing.
Fortunately, no one should know it was her.
The silvery glow, which scanned her from the invisibility effect of the Chameleon Cloak, continued to attach to her. It seemed to prevent detectors from re-entering invisibility and escaping.
However, the Chameleon Cloak was a piece of junk that immediately became visible upon entering combat. So, when Ink’s two flying knives hit her and the self-defense ability of the 【Feather Robe Graria】 activated, the invisibility had already disappeared.
The radiant light, too bright and obscuring her appearance, ironically became Violet’s final layer of modesty.
“Truly...fortunate in misfortune. Let’s not talk about whether this will affect the subsequent plans. If this incident becomes public, and if Edwina and the others who haven’t left yet see it... Ugh, it’s probably better to escape to Mars overnight.”
Not to mention that Edwina had inexplicably used her name to fiercely criticize the Feathered Emperor before.
But... when was she discovered? She didn’t notice at all. Those people were really good at pretending, not showing any change in expression?
It felt like it was related to that old man with silver wings or, more precisely, controlled by him. There might be some large magic array covering that area.
If there’s anything that can reveal the presence of Sacred-tier equipment that requires a 7th-order detection magic to perceive, it’s likely a pre-set magic array. Judging from the feeling during the confrontation, Feathered Emperor Estini and the old man couldn’t individually release 7th-order magic.
“Sigh... I hope nothing was revealed.”
The black-haired girl looked at the staff with rabbit ears in her hand, the peculiar priest staff. She lightly brushed over it with her left hand, and soon, the weapon returned to the basic appearance of the 【Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart】.
She affectionately rubbed her beloved weapon on her face, and Violet’s tone carried a hint of apology.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
“Sorry, old friend, for putting you through this.”
A faint light flashed on the holy staff, as if responding to its master. As an artifact, the Eternal Scepter possessed a considerable degree of intelligence.
The priestess’s light-based skills were too conspicuous. Once used, it was no different from self-explosion. To conceal her abilities, she had to employ means that anyone could use or methods whose principles were hard to discern.
For example, she had imitated a little trick used by a mysterious person from the battle on Omo Island. Probably using soul power interference, she temporarily disrupted the ability of flying creatures to remain airborne.
Or she could engage in direct physical combat.
However, the weapon Violet was accustomed to, including Sigrid, was recognized by many, and in a moment of inspiration, she used a rarely used technique called “Weapon Transformation” to temporarily change the appearance of the 【Eternal Scepter of the World’s Heart】.
As for that strange appearance... well, it couldn’t be blamed on her. Violet had hardly input any transformation appearances. This set was forcibly given during a previous game event.
“But it’s okay against beginners. The attack from the combination of the Feathered Emperor and all of them just now, approaching the tier-6 level, indeed makes it a bit difficult to wipe out with just the physical collision of the artifact... After all, it’s a staff, not a melee weapon.”
“I used a Tier-7 【Light Blessing】 protection skill to protect myself, but the effect of that protection instead made most of the people there immediately seriously injured. Luckily, at that time, I still had time to minimize the impact of that skill.”
“No, it’s not a problem with the weapon. It should be that my personal combat skills are too rusty, just like Rebecca back then. Hmm... Do I need to find a place to learn in the future? But my attribute inclination...”
While the black-haired girl was muttering to herself about this and that, a strong light and aura quickly emanated from the central Sky Temple in the city, heading straight towards the Feathered Emperor’s palace she had just left.
Perhaps due to some urgency, the other party didn’t make any effort to conceal. Even in this location, Violet could feel the immense power contained within that radiance.
She looked up, her expression slightly surprised.
“A pseudo-god...? Such a strong pseudo-god. It feels like... probably around level 80 or so. Winged beings actually have experts of this level sitting in town? This guy, no, wait...”
It should be the High Priest mentioned by Sigrid in the temple, the contemporary Priest of the Gods.
There seemed to be a saying that the Priest of the Gods chosen by the God of the Sky could receive divine protection, possessing supreme power surpassing all mundane things, second only to true deities.
Now, it seemed like it wasn’t an exaggeration.
Fortunately, she ran fast enough. If she had collided with that formidable High Priest at the time, she might have been exposed for sure.
Even the Priest could bestow such intense power. It appeared that the level of the God of the Sky, Minerva, was at least level 90 or even higher. Being cautious in her actions seems to have been the right move.
However... with such powerful bestowed abilities from the Priest of the Gods, was there really no cost involved?
Violet was somewhat curious.
At least judging from Sigrid’s strange attitude when she mentioned this matter initially, this task might not be as delightful as one might imagine.
If there’s a chance, she thought she might inquire further.
Releasing the little dragon girl temporarily sent back to her pet space due to the need for infiltration, Violet briefly explained the situation to her, and the two decided to return to the embassy first.
The commotion in the Feather Palace was so obvious, and the guards and residents around were not blind, so naturally, they had seen everything clearly.
On the way back, there was obvious chaos in the administrative district. Red-winged winged soldiers were running around everywhere, and people were poking their heads out, trying to figure out what was going on.
However, the airspace above the Feather Palace was a no-fly zone, and intruders were dealt with directly as assassins. Therefore, a large number of curious onlookers could only gather around, whispering and trying to find out the details.
As soon as she saw these people, the priestess would be reminded of the embarrassing incident that happened not long ago. She could only grit her teeth, take her pet’s hand, and quickly walk away.
She really didn’t want to get involved in the mess here.
Like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
Anyway, let’s wait for this embarrassing turmoil to pass before thinking about it.
