Versatile Mage

Chapter 2705: Legend of Purple Feather

Ye Xinxia’s holiday was over. Mo Fan wanted to escort her back to Greece, but Ye Xinxia shook her head. The domestic situation was dire. Fanxue Mountain had recently been through a major war. Mo Fan was there for leisure but he played a significant role in protecting it. Even now, his presence was enough even if he wasn’t able to actively contribute in the aftereffects of war.

A private plane landed on Fanxue Mountain which had almost been raved to the ground. A group of people in golden knights walked out of the plane. When the time came, the Parthenon Temple required the goddess nominees to return. The way the people at Parthenon Temple functioned was extravagant and high-profile even if they were poor and underdeveloped. They did this because they wanted more people to notice and visit the Parthenon Temple.

“It’s the Goddess of Parthenon Temple!” The Fanxue Mountain elites were shocked. But it made sense. Because of Xinxia, Fanxue Mountain did not suffer as much in the battle. Otherwise, more than a thousand people would have died.

Many Super Level Healing Mages who were on the verge of death were saved and regained their health in only a couple of days. While most people had forgotten how Mo Fan had looked, they still remembered Xinxia.

“The election day is around the corner. When that day comes, I will visit.” Mo Fan stroked Ye Xinxia’s soft hair.

The goddess election sounded like a grand event. In truth, it would be another round of bloodbath.

But Ye Xinxia could not retreat from it, especially after she found out she was Salan’s daughter. Because of that identity, she was destined to be a sinner from birth. She was also the Holy Saint, Wen Tai’s daughter. The souls which played a significant part at the Parthenon Temple were within her. It was her destiny that she would never be able to live a normal life. So, she thought she might as well fight for it.

“Thank you, Big Brother Mo Fan. I would like that. Don’t worry. I can take good care of myself.” Ye Xinxia nodded.

The present Xinxia was not the frail and meek highschool girl from Bo City who could do nothing but sit and suffer while gangsters robbed her of her wheelchair.

Mo Fan placed a kiss on Ye Xinxia’s cheek, bidding her farewell. Ye Xinxia also gave him a peck on his cheek. The knights then formed a human shield around her. It was time to leave.

...

The airplane took off. The rest of the golden knights patrolled around the airport. A female knight, Hua Lisi, stayed in the cabin.

The sky was overcast. The airplane flew further into the sky and appeared smaller and smaller, until it vanished from sight completely.

The approaching election day made Mo Fan anxious. Only a mage with the power as high as the Forbidden Curse would be able to make changes during the competition. It made him wonder when he would reach the Forbidden Curse level.

“Are you worried that Ye Xinxia will be mistreated?” Jiang Shaoxu asked.

“I used to worry about her. But now, not so much,” Mo Fan said.

“What do you mean?” Jiang Shaoxu asked.

“In the past, whenever we got close, the arrogant knights would berate us to maintain decorum. This time, they didn’t….” Mo Fan noticed the knights who watched them but dared not disrespect her.

“Does that make a difference?”

“It does. It tells a lot about how they see her now.”

When Jiang Shaoxu had arrived, he had seen Mo Fan bidding farewell to Xinxia. He had come to talk about the totem’s issue with Mo Fan. As a person from a military family, he understood what Mo Fan meant when he said the knights hadn’t dared to disrespect Xinxia this time.

“Have you found the new totem?” Mo Fan asked.

“Yes. Lan Yang City’s feathers gave us a lot of clues. The feathers are colorful. After Lingling and I made an analysis from the feathers, we realized that Chongming Divine Bird represents one color, Moon Moth Phoenix represents another color, and purple represents something else entirely. Therefore, we began our search with the purple phantom color. We found out about some ancient legends.”

“There’s a legend about Lightning Forbidden Place from Mingwu Ancient City. It’s a place where the sea meets the cliff. It is also the habitat for a certain purple divine bird. When it flies, its old feather falls as the sea breeze blows. Whenever its feather touches humid air, rain, or fog, it produces powerful lightning. A lightning storm will appear in that particular area.”

“The legend seems to be real. So, Lingling and I plan to take a trip down there. There’s a possibility that it could be one of the totems that we’re looking for.”

“If it is a Lightning Element, it will be very helpful to me.” Mo Fan said happily.

Since Chongming Divine Bird turned into the heart divine furnace, Mo Fan was bonded with this mysteriously feathered holy totem. Totem was the world’s Holy Spirit, endowed with powerful attributes.

Zhao Jing was the first mage Mo Fan encountered who had a much higher level of Lightning Element than him. Mo Fan wanted to improve his own Lightning Element, otherwise, he would waste the special effect from the Blessing of the God’s Seal.

Of course, he had to ensure that the rest of the elements were able to keep up with one another. But first, he had to enrich his Lightning Element and Fire Element further.

“That’s right. If you could absorb the totem’s power, you won’t need to find any Heaven Seed. You can fully master the Heaven Seed by just relying on the totem and advance to Super Level!” Jiang Shaoxu said.

“We cannot waste any time, then. Call the others!” said Mo Fan in excitement.

“I believe Mu Bai would prefer to cultivate. He took Lin Kang’s iron ink pen and plans to refine his snow pen,” said Jiang Shaoxu.

“Call Zhao Manyan then,” Mo Fan said.

“He can’t go with us either. Zhao Jing’s dead. There is certainly a lot going on with the Zhao family for now. He plans to take a trip to the Zhao family house. He wants to calm them and he doesn’t want to hide from them anymore.”

“So, I suppose I’m the only one left in this totem search team who’s capable of fighting the totem?” Mo Fan asked.

“Lingling and I can’t go with you either. The mysterious totem feather is closely related to the enormous snake. We have to crack our heads to research it these days. I came here to tell you that you might have to take the trip down to Mingwu Ancient City by yourself,” Jiang Shaoxu said.

‘So, he wants me to be his errand boy…’ thought Mo Fan. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by Novᴇ(l)ꜰɪre .ɴᴇt

“It’s fine even if you don’t want to go. You can spend some money and hire a hunter. There are a lot of things going on at Mingwu Ancient City lately, so there are quite a number of forces there. Furthermore, there is a fortress stationed nearby. You can gain some information there,” Jiang Shaoxu continued.

“Forget it. I don’t have a lot of contribution points left. I’ll go myself,” Mo Fan said. Everyone seemed busy with their own work.

He decided to take the trip by himself. It was not as though he couldn’t do anything without their help, anyway. He didn’t need them to go with him.
