Chapter 1521: Chapter 307 Arrival

"When did you start to suspect these doubts?" Catherine furrowed her brow and asked with confusion, "From what you just said, you seemed very convinced that Danacus was constantly threatening Lady Nellie. You even said you nearly shot the arrow. Was it only in the last moment that you noticed something unusual about Danacus?"

"It’s rather embarrassing to admit, but I wouldn’t have noticed anything wrong, even at the last moment, if I were alone. I was really close to shooting that arrow," Pannis sighed and said with a bitter smile, "I must thank the Huntress, Lady Artemis, and her Hunting Arrow. When I focused all my attention on the Hunting Arrow, I suddenly felt my mind clearer and calmer than usual, and I sensed a vague consciousness from the arrow, which I think was from Lady Artemis."

"A hunter must always keep their mind clear to avoid turning from the hunter into the prey, and when hunting, they must ensure their mindset remains unfluctuating, otherwise it will definitely affect them," Pannis’s words made Flare pause and then explain, "When your soul is close to Lady Artemis’s will, it naturally gets influenced by the Deity’s will, manifesting as clarity and calmness. Didn’t you feel it when you held the Hunting Arrow?"

"No, I think you misunderstood me." Pannis shook his head and said, "I could confirm that I was in an absolutely clear and calm state at that time. Even if seeing Nellie got me a bit agitated, I could instantly adjust back to a state of absolute clarity and calm. If I weren’t sure of that, I would have had no right to enter the Door of Mist."

"Then your statement is contradictory," Flare’s green eyes stared at Pannis with puzzlement and she asked softly, "You, already clear and calm, suddenly became clearer and calmer than usual? Are you talking about different degrees?"

"No, no, no, it’s hard to explain with words." Pannis, distressed, tugged at his hair and after a moment of thought, his eyes suddenly brightened and he exclaimed, "You must have had a similar experience, right? You dream you are doing something while asleep, and believe that it is real life. You think you are consciously doing those things in reality. Then, suddenly, you awake and realize it was just a dream, and all those feelings were just illusions within the dream. You get up from bed, thinking you are now awake, starting your day’s activities, handling matters of the King’s Court, issuing orders to your subordinates. But then, you wake up again, and only then do you realize that everything before was just an illusion, just a dream, and this time you are truly awake."

"Multiple dreams?" Flare murmured thoughtfully, "Though rare, I have indeed experienced that. Are you saying your experience was similar to multiple dreams?"

"Although there are great differences, there indeed are similarities," Pannis nodded affirmatively and said, "At that time, I could be sure that I was awake and calm, but after my spirit was influenced by Lady Artemis, I suddenly felt as if I were awakened from a dream. Only then did I realize that my feelings had deviated slightly before, not to the point of being unconscious, but as if covered by a layer of mist, making my cognition more blurred than usual."

"This means your will was interfered with," Flare said after a moment of silence, speaking in a deep voice. "These are the words of the goddess, which I cannot speak for Lady Artemis, so the goddess conveyed this on behalf of Lady Artemis. The goddess said that the will of a deity is very strong, strong enough that even when mortals are merely near their will, they can be influenced, just as you became clear-headed when you were close to the will within Lady Artemis’s Hunting Arrow. This is also a form of influence. The phenomenon you described could likely be due to being too close to the soul of Danacus, hence you were influenced by him. This is not necessarily intentional disruption by the deities; it is often just that we—or even they themselves—cannot perceive it. Thus, it doesn’t pinpoint any issues...Um, Lady Nellie wants you to shut up; she needs to think for a moment."

"It appears that Goddess Yuktiraxil has also identified the issue," Pannis, who would certainly not obediently keep quiet as a mortal who dared to jest at the forest goddess in the World Tree, obviously would not comply so readily, and, pretending not to hear, he shrugged and said, "Can a deity who has fallen into slumber truly still radiate their will outwardly? There haven’t been any such records in history. Lady Denia also mentioned just now that an unknown deity, in their sleep, was never perceived by the outside world, which shows that even a deity in slumber would hardly be able to interfere much with the outside world, and moreover, to do so in such a precise way that I could not detect by myself, unless..."

"Unless he has made other arrangements, or like you suggested, he still retains a certain degree of conscious awareness," Lina suddenly interrupted Pannis, "We must admit, you’ve realized a problem that all of us overlooked, and you are more impressive than I thought. If you hadn’t noticed this issue, perhaps we all would be in trouble. Well done, child."

Pannis’s mouth twitched, and like everyone else, he faced the clearly no longer his own Lina with a stunned expression, and even Flare took a long time to respond, apparently even the Goddess Yuktiraxil behind her was shocked by the changes taking place.

"Ah, you’ve come again, Lady Denia," Catherine said before she wanted to slap herself hard and poke a few more holes in Pannis, because she realized she had caught Pannis’s style quite heavily. Fortunately, the knight girl came to her senses in time and corrected herself, "No no, I mean, we welcome your descent, Lady Goddess."

"Don’t be nervous, children, just like last time, I only sent a fragment of my consciousness to descend; it won’t cause any harm to Lina here," Lina, now called Denia, spoke in a very gentle tone, "The environment here is much like last time, and Lina is quite special, which is why I could descend successfully if it were the main world, it would not be so easy. I descended this time mainly because our discussion is very important. Always having the children relay messages is too troublesome and prone to misunderstandings, so direct conversations like this are a bit more convenient. You others needn’t try; yes, I’m talking to you, Yula—oh, good, you weren’t trying; I’m just reminding you."
