White Cloud City

While Link was busy crafting an axe for Holun, Felina was not idling around, she took Merchant Masos with her and circled around White Cloud City in search of the exiled god Elodim.

However, after an entire day of searching, she had not gotten any results. She clearly felt that he was right here in White Cloud City. It was strange that she did not even see a phantom of his appearance.

She had a feeling that the exiled god was avoiding her on purpose.

By late night, Masos and her returned to the Sleeping Giant Inn feeling lethargic after a day of futile work.

Link was also busy the entire day. He was just about to rest when he saw Felina. Looking at her dejected expression, he said, “It seems like it didn’t go well.”

Felina nodded and said, “I didn’t find him. I have this feeling that he is playing catch with me. At times, I even have this feeling that he was staring at me in some secluded corner.”

Masos was present as well. He had followed Felina around the entire day and was extremely tired. He felt as if his legs were breaking.

The three of them then made their way to the hall of the inn before finding a table to rest their weary legs. Masos massaged his legs as he asked, “May I know who you are looking for? If you are to tell me, I may be of help.”

Felina did not know if she should divulge the secret to Masos. She then stared at Link to which he gave a reassuring nod.

She thought for a moment before she said, “I have no idea how he looks like now as well. I can only roughly tell his location. He is an exiled god and possesses unimaginable wisdom. We hope to find this person and obtain countermeasures against the Divine Gear from him.”

“You don’t know his exact appearance?” Masos frowned as he stroked the beard he had just tidied. He then said, “Even if you were to give a vague description, I would be able to help you find him. However, I cannot be of any help like this.”

It was truly a dead end.

Link then fell into deep thought. He drank the beverage that was served as he thought about the peculiar magic book by Elodim he had read some time ago. He could get a sense of Elodim’s character from the book.

After half a minute, Link said, “Although I have no idea what he looks like. He is definitely a strange one. Yes, extremely strange. He seems to be angry at everything in the world and is extremely arrogant, belittling everything around him…He should have another habit. He likes to sit on the roof while staring at the starry night sky.”

Felina shot a glance at Link quizzically and said, “Link, what even…”

“I once read a magic book written by him. It was a peculiar yet powerful book filled with vulgarities and anger. Through his writing, I could sense his character. It should be some sort of intuition.”

Words were the embodiment of a writer’s soul. If a reader were to immerse themselves fully in the writing of an author, they could feel the very sense of their soul and their being. This interaction was extremely mysterious. Usually, people who could achieve this were exceptionally focused and patient people who possessed a strong mind.

Link was one of them.

After Masos listened to Link’s explanation, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

Link knew that Masos was on to something and asked, “What did you want to say?”

“In White Cloud City, there is a being that fits your description perfectly, though it is a cat and not a human. It is an extremely intelligent cat,” Masos said in an incredulous tone, though he truly felt that the cat was the being Link and company was looking for.

“A cat?” Felina and Link stared at this merchant expectantly, waiting for him to divulge more information.

Masos then nodded seriously and said, “Yes, a cat!”

He then described this cat in greater detail, “This cat has extremely shiny fur. From afar, it looks as if he’s enveloped in a godly aura. It has a slender body and is extremely fast, able to capture its prey in an instant. It was a common consensus in the city that the cat was special, believing that it could defend them against evil spirits. I have seen it a few times as well, and it behaves exactly like the way you described. One night, I even saw the cat squatting on the roof of a wooden building, staring at the stars. I thought it was interesting at that time and threw an acorn at him. He then stared at me with a deadly stare that sent shivers down my spine.”

That was strange.

Felina munched at the food that was served in a daze. Although it was delicious, her focus was completely elsewhere. She said, “The queen once told me that this exiled god had basically no powers. The only special thing about him is his immortal soul. If that is the case, do you think he might have revived using the body of the black cat?”

This might just be possible. Link was starting to get interested with this peculiar black cat.

“Masos, do you know where this black cat is?”
