Chapter 500 : The Descent of a God

"Felyn, you have to be careful."

Today was the day Felyn was setting off for Varil.

And in three days, Adelina would be coming to the Royal Capital District to take her exam.

"Mhm, don't worry. Varil isn't a very dangerous place. I'm very afraid of dying. Adelina, you just focus on your exam."

"But I'm still worried about you. If only I were there."

"I estimate I'll be back by the time you finish your exam. I'll have a gift for you then."

"Really?! Thank you, Felyn!"

Felyn was currently carrying his suitcase, waiting at the door for Zervanie and Viloti.

The two young ladies who lived together were both in their respective bedrooms putting on makeup, requiring patient waiting.

And Felyn wasn't bored while waiting, because he saw an acquaintance he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Senior Felyn, I didn't expect to be in the same school as you again. What a coincidence."

Her short black and red hair fluttered slightly, and her perfect legs wrapped in long boots made Felyn a little dazed.

"Bernice, what are you doing here?"

"I registered with Miss Daiyi. I just got back to school today. While I was away, did you secretly go looking for Miss Daiyi at night?"

He didn't know if it was Daiyi's intentional arrangement, but her dormitory was right across from Felyn's, just a street away.

Seeing Bernice appear at Daiyi's door with a suitcase, she should be Daiyi's roommate.

"I won't talk to you for now. Your girlfriend is about to give me another mission."

Bernice fiddled with her hair and complained, "Felyn, can you have a word with your girlfriend? She orders me around every day."

"Then I will relay it to Daiyi truthfully. I'll just tell her: 'Bernice complained in front of me that you order her around every day and she's not happy. You should give her fewer tasks in the future.'"

"Then forget it. You two are truly a pair, your hearts are so black."

After saying goodbye to Felyn, Bernice carried her suitcase and walked into the dormitory.

Daiyi's dormitory continued her usual simple style; it was almost impossible to tell it was a girl's home.

However, the moment Bernice stepped into the room, she noticed something was wrong.

Similar, too similar.

The layout here was too similar to Felyn's home on Mist Street in Seiva.

Daiyi had moved it over almost one-to-one.

Whether it was the position of the dining table or the gurgling teapot at this moment, it all made Bernice feel as if she had returned to Seiva.

"Daiyi, do you like Felyn that much?"

Bernice looked at Daiyi, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and felt that she seemed to have more color in her face.

"Eh? Why do you say that?" Daiyi was currently wearing a nightdress, sitting at the table taking notes.

Bernice didn't say the reason out loud, lest it would make Daiyi feel awkward later.

"Tell me, young lady, why did you call me here?"

Bernice had been carrying out missions in Seiva recently. More and more spies were invading the Siveshus Empire, and Bernice had been ordered by the Church of Truth to clean up the people who shouldn't be in the empire.

"Bernice, actually, I called you here..."

"Wait, wait, wait." Bernice held out her hand, not letting Daiyi finish. "Don't tell me you called me back to protect your husband, Mr. Felyn?"

Daiyi twirled her long black hair, and under Bernice's surprised gaze, she slowly nodded.

"Mhm."

"Sigh, sigh, sigh." Bernice sighed three times in a row, put her hands on her hips, and shook her head. "Miss Daiyi, have you made any progress with Felyn recently?"

"Progress? It's still the same as before."

"No way? You still haven't told him that you've fallen for him?"

Daiyi was stunned for a moment, then rested her face on one hand. "Bernice, you can't talk nonsense."

"It's just the two of us here. It doesn't matter if you tell me." Bernice quickly sat down next to Daiyi. "Are you planning to just silently protect Felyn like this? And then have a tragic love story with Felyn where you both give a lot but end up missing each other?"

"But... but I can't tell Felyn about this yet." Daiyi finally didn't refute Bernice's words. Her hand pinched a corner of her notebook, her palm also a little sweaty.

"Why? Are you worried he'll reject you like he rejected the others? Please, young lady, look at yourself." Bernice picked up the mirror on the table and placed it in front of Daiyi. "Look, isn't this a divine statue? If I were Felyn, I'd be ecstatic."

Daiyi's cold and divine face appeared in the mirror frame, truly like a portrait hanging in the center of a great cathedral.

Her dark green eyes were the most precious thing in this room, now tinged with a touch of confusion. "The reason I'm not telling Felyn is actually that I've been dreaming recently."

"Dreaming that Felyn married you?"

Daiyi shook her head and didn't tell Bernice.

It wasn't Felyn who appeared in her dreams.

It was the God of Truth.

Ever since Daiyi learned about the concept of the divine chain proposed by Felyn and his divine art, Daiyi's research had made great progress.

At the same time, she found that the power of Truth within her body was rising rapidly, at an abnormally swift speed, surpassing the divine affinity for Truth in her father, Aurelian's, body.

And at this time, the Goddess of Truth had also unfurled a scroll for her in her dreams.

Daiyi couldn't see the contents of the scroll clearly, but after waking up, four words remained in her mind.

"The Descent of a God."

The originally unreachable gods would descend from the heavens and be summoned to the mortal world.

If this was true, then the world's structure would be completely changed.

The power of the gods was very strong. The corresponding churches would rely on the power of the gods to directly sweep across the entire continent and conquer the world.

Daiyi didn't know if this dream was true or false.

But she had a faint feeling that in the near future, the world would enter endless turmoil.

This was no longer a matter of the Siveshus Empire's survival, but a matter of the entire world's survival.

Daiyi didn't know if the sudden explosion of the power of Truth within her body was related to this matter.

"Then have you told Felyn about this?"

Daiyi shook her head, not knowing whether she should tell Felyn about this.

"Tell him. Tell him your troubles, and then he will come to save you again. At that time, you will embrace and confess to each other. How romantic."

Daiyi tilted her head as she listened to these words.

Come to... save me again?

But it was too late to say it now. She would tell him after Felyn returned from Varil Village.

"Bernice, Felyn is setting off for Varil Village today. Could I trouble you to take care of him nearby?"

"Varil? Isn't there still an Imperial Guard in that place? It should be very safe." Bernice put her suitcase on the ground and began to pack her luggage.

"I just have a bad feeling in my heart. I feel like something is going to happen."

Bernice walked to Daiyi's side and placed her hand on Daiyi's shoulder. "I can understand. I'm also very afraid that Felyn will come back holding several of his children."

Jokes aside, Bernice still agreed to Daiyi's request.

She put on a mask, wore sigil light armor, and followed behind Felyn.

From Bernice's perspective, Felyn got on the carriage with Viloti and Zervanie and left the school.
