YM778.TV Chapter 294 Nidite
Vincent has already heard about the existence of the goddesses so he wasn\'t too surprised about that. What he didn\'t know are the names of these mighty beings.
Even during the Arcane Mysteries Class, they were only referred to by their titles such as the goddess of wisdom, wind, or light… The only exception was Asione, the Goddess of Life and Death as her name has spread far and wide.
"Nidite… The goddess of night. It sounds cool. I mean, why did you choose her? Are you worshipping her?" Vincent curiously asked.
Lola smiled at the question as she already expected this reaction.
"Yes… You can say so. It wasn\'t obvious but I wanted to make a statue of her but I\'m worried that I may not portray her beauty properly and bring shame to her name…"
Vincent perked up after hearing this as he asked what happened to her and how she got herself connected to Goddess Nidite…
"Heh~ You want to know more about me, huh… You should also tell me a story about you."
"Of course!" Vincent answered without hesitation.
"Very well… Listen to me. Before I became a successful mana practitioner, I previously trained as a Soul Arts Practitioner. I basically inherited a visualization technique from my family... After further research conducted by my ancestors, they learned that the goddess we are visualizing is the Goddess of Night, Nidite… I believed that as well."
"Did you also find proof that she\'s Nidite?"
"Probably… Whenever I tried to call for her name, the visualization becomes clearer. Especially during the night. Furthermore, there were times I was able to feel her presence. It happened when I found an altar from ancient times… It\'s unfortunate that it was already destroyed."
Lola revealed with a bitter smile but Vincent felt excited. The story about the altar feels similar to his experience.
"Incredible… Can you tell me a bit about her appearance?"
"Hmm… Appearance? She\'s really beautiful with her shining purple hair… Unfortunately, I don\'t have talent in Soul Arts Cultivation. I\'m only a 2-Star Aura Knight. So my visualization isn\'t perfect."
"A purple hair… It\'s different from the goddess I\'m seeing in my visualization method…"
"Really? Which one?"
Vincent shook his head at this. He knows the name of one of the goddesses aside from Nidite but he\'s unsure whether she is the one appearing in his visualization method.
"Do you know of Asione? Based on what I learned in my class, she\'s the goddess of Life and Death." Vincent asked.
"Asione? I\'ve heard of her. However, I only remember that she\'s the goddess of death… Does she also rule life? I forgot. Well, it\'s not like people had seen them personally. The knowledge about the gods and goddesses was only discovered in the dungeons. Most of the ancient text discovered were difficult to decipher and there are many interpretations." Lola explained as she stared at the ceiling while comfortably lying on the couch…
"That makes sense then… Right, since there are several visualization methods… Does it equate to the number of gods and goddesses? What do you think?"
"Who knows? The families who have visualization methods wouldn\'t let it show in public. It\'s considered to be their precious secret."
"That\'s true." Vincent smiled as he accepted this explanation. In any case, it doesn\'t change the fact that the existence of the gods and goddesses is real.
"Do you know any other goddesses?"
p
"Well, will you believe me if the reason I\'ve been blind is because of one of the goddesses?"
"Haha… Are you telling me that you\'re one of the cursed children? Just what sin have you committed? Well, kidding aside, I\'m pretty sure they can no longer communicate with us mortals after the First Rapture… I don\'t think a goddess would blind you. Perhaps a demon found you being naughty and blinded you."
"First Rapture?" Vincent repeated ignoring her last words. He learned in the Arcane Mysteries Class the details of the Second Rapture but not the First Rapture. The only information he got about this is a bloody war that is just too vague.
"Yes… Unlike the Second Rapture which is quite detailed, the First Rapture only has bits of information… There was no proof but many people believed that this was a war where the gods and goddesses of this world had to fight against many evils trying to dirty this world. Any survivors of this war can only be called immortals…"
Lola spoke nonchalantly as this information isn\'t reliable as well. During ancient times, recording history isn\'t a thing so it was difficult to deduce what really happened.
Of course, she knows a few more things about this, after doing her own research but she decided not to say it for now.
Vincent wanted to ask more but a knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"Leader, the shipment of fabrics from Grandon Ait has arrived. Do you want to check it with me?" Lola\'s secretary spoke from behind the door.
"Oh? They\'re here already! I\'ll go!" Lola sat up with excitement as she fixed her clothes.
"Grandon Ait?" Vincent asked.
"Yes… It\'s a small island that\'s trading with us with inexpensive fabrics… There are three small islands out there where I\'m doing trade. Hehe… Isn\'t my port city awesome? If you get your own territory, I\'ll let you join my One Sea Merchant Union."
"You established that union? That sounds great..." Vincent replied. He already knows that this city is a large producer of Formation Cores and some convenient magic tools, so getting supplies from them is certainly a good idea.
Furthermore, he had already seen the power of her Formation Arts so he wouldn\'t doubt its quality at all. Enhancing a top-tier item is so much better than enhancing a bottom-tier item after all.
In addition, the reason why he\'s also planning to establish his territory is to make a safe haven for himself. Just from the prophecy of the blond goddess and the secrets he had discovered recently, he already knows that this world is about to fall into another chaos or perhaps, the Third Rapture. He needed to be prepared.
He doesn\'t know exactly when but he feels that it\'s getting closer and closer…
After a while, Vincent was left in the municipal hall as he finally decided to visit Millie… They were both quite busy after arriving in this territory but now that things have calmed down, he felt that it was about time to hear what happened to his other childhood friends…
Haa~
Vincent sighed.
He doesn\'t have a good feeling about this but he wanted to learn what happened.
