"It seems I indeed have an unseen brother!"
Noah’s words were a roundabout answer, unraveling part of the heart-knot that had troubled Parvati for years.
"May I learn more about him from you?"
"After understanding him, what do you intend to do? Make your dreams manifest and turn them into reality?"
"If dreams are the revelations given by fate, then I want to challenge fate!"
The Silver Moon Elf, who appeared only to be the size of a seven or eight-year-old child, looked up, gazing with interest at the Holy Dragon analyzing her.
"I want to try to ensure the scenes in my dreams never come to pass."
"Hahaha, quite the rebellious spirit, worthy of your name, Augustus."
Noah couldn’t help but laugh aloud upon hearing this, then swiftly shifted the topic,
"Unfortunately, I don’t know much either. If fate has given you guidance, then as long as you walk out of here, you’ll eventually meet him. There’s no need to inquire from me."
"I will never harm my brother, no matter what he’s done!"
Seeing that the Holy Dragon was unwilling to reveal any information about her brother, Parvati declared immediately, though she didn’t press further but rather made a request that caught Noah by surprise,
"Therefore, I wish to ask you to keep this weapon for me!"
Parvati extended her young hand, where a glimmer of light emerged, forming a slightly curved spear.
The spear appeared as if it had just been snapped from a tree and trimmed, simple and unadorned, yet even Noah couldn’t ignore the power it contained.
With the spear in Parvati’s possession, as long as it was thrown, it would definitely pierce through the target she aimed for.
This was genuinely a Divine Artifact, but as a god-gifted weapon, this Spear of Destiny, also had a flaw. It could only be wielded and used by Parvati alone, and no one else could exhibit its seemingly fate-bestowed power of certainty.
Gwen, always wanting to steal the limelight, had taken the place of Noah to try and verify it. As Parvati’s aunt, the spear in her hands was just a wooden stick, showing no extraordinary characteristic except for being robust and undying.
However, apart from this wooden spear, she could use other divine weaponry, though none were as powerful as when in Parvati’s hands.
Noah had also secretly studied a bit and found that the weapons and equipment bestowed by the Elf God, except for the most unique Spear of Destiny, were only limited to the Elf Bloodline.
However, all equipment could only achieve their maximum effect if wielded by the chosen Parvati, while other equipment would vary in power depending on the strength and level of Elf Bloodline.
"You wish to entrust it to me?"
Parvati explained her reasoning to the Holy Dragon,
"Because in my dreams, it is with this that I pierced my brother’s chest. If I entrust it to you for safekeeping, the conclusion of my dreams, endlessly looping, cannot become reality."
"Isn’t this a bit lazy!"
"If I can defy fate in the simplest way, isn’t it better? I see no need to make things harder for myself."
Faced with Noah’s teasing, the girl wasn’t swayed. Compared to striving to avoid the scenes in her dreams, she thought it best to directly hand the spear, which would pierce her brother’s chest, to the Holy Dragon for safekeeping and not use it at all. After all, she still had other weapons.
"You have a point. In that case, I agree to your request."
Noah consented to the girl’s request,
"But when do you plan to retrieve it from me?"
"I may not need to use it ever, so there’s no need to set a retrieval condition. You can handle it as you see fit."
"Is that so? Then I won’t stand on ceremony!"
Noah extended a dragon claw, gently hooking it. The invisible Mage’s Hand, refined by Noah, grasped the Spear of Destiny, which looked like nothing more than a sharpened stick, showing no abnormalities.
Word Spirit·Time-Space Amber
A resinous liquid, akin to pine sap, seeped from the Void, encasing the wooden stick heavily, transforming it into amber. Time and space lost their meaning concerning the stick.
"From today on, this is part of my collection, and even if you ask me for it, I shall not return it."
Those who want to challenge fate are not just limited to Parvati. Of course, Noah did not intend to challenge fate, for he didn’t believe fate existed.
He merely wanted to challenge the Elf God, who seemed to have a touch of destiny’s power and looked so mysterious.
"Thank you, Granduncle."
Parvati expressed her gratitude politely.
Noah waved his dragon claw.
Thus, on that day, the Moonlight Princess, parted with a Divine Artifact, formally set out. She simply made an appearance in Elisium City, which caused quite a stir and created a storm throughout the city.
"Your Highness, I am an Elf from Yingcui Forest. I have hunted Storm Sub-Dragons and Golden Behemoths alone, earning the title of Giant Beast Hunter. I wish to follow you, to be the bow in your hand. Please bestow upon me the honor of following you!"
Once Parvati’s identity was confirmed, an Elf Ranger immediately stepped out from the crowd, kneeling on one knee, holding aloft a precious longbow, cherished as if it were life itself.
This action seemed to release some signal, like opening an indescribable monster’s seal. In that instant, the crowd became restless and surged like a tide.
