Chapter 513: Chapter 54 Paper Princess’s Parting Gift_1

——No, that was definitely not an illusion.

Although Dmitry Winter was not a Transcendent, he was, after all, a bishop.

At such close distance, his perception could not be mistaken.

The pure divine light on Giralda shone with an unmistakable clarity.

"Your Highness Dmitry, what brings you to me?"

He asked gently with a smile, facing Dmitry wrapped in a grey-white coat.

Dmitry wore a coat with fur collars made from Frost Beast hides, his hands stuffed directly into his trouser pockets. The empty sleeves flapped behind him, like a white ceremonial scarf.

He frowned slightly and looked silently at Giralda.

With an extremely odd and unfriendly tone, Dmitry asked through gritted teeth, "Still calling me ’Your Highness’?

"It’s you, Annan! I know you inside out, don’t even think about fooling me!"

...You speak with such conviction, yet you have already been fooled by me.

Annan muttered to himself inwardly.

But all he did was to reveal to Dmitry an even broader, radiantly bright smile.

Then, his body appeared to shrink suddenly, reverting back to Annan’s original form.

Having assumed "Giralda’s" identity for too long, Annan felt somewhat awkward upon returning to his true self.

Annan’s silver-white hair had grown past his neck, and his upright figure already bore some resemblance to Dmitry’s.

He still wore that unembellished, soft, and smooth silver-white robe.

Due to some damage inflicted during the battle with Bernadino, the high-collared robe had been ingeniously altered by the meticulous Paper Princess into a deep V-neck with a sapphire button at the collar to keep it snug.

Aside from the three silver rings of runes at the cuffs, it somewhat resembled Enkidu’s attire...

After Paper Princess’s meticulous repairs, its name was no longer called The Silver Sir’s Favor:

The Beloved (of Two)

Type: Equipment/Armor/Clothing (Gold)

Defense: 4 (equivalent to thick leather)

Protective Bias: Slash, High Temperature, Electric Shock, Corrosion

Defense Disadvantage: Piercing, Blunt Impact

Description: A silver-thread robe handwoven by the Silver Sir, light enough but exceedingly sturdy, bearing an undeniable sacred quality; adorned with a palest painting by the Paper Princess, it has received further enhancement. Clergy above the bishop tier can recognize its origin.

Effect: When worn by "Annan Winter," it automatically grants immunity to curse killings and prophet spells below the silver tier.

The Silver Sir’s Favor: Rub your eyes with the garment to obtain ten minutes of "Detect Poisons" ability, with effects equivalent to the namesake Hunter ability; rub your hands with the garment to obtain ten minutes of "Purify Poisons" ability, with effects equivalent to the namesake Idol School spell.

Paper Princess’s Affection: The bearer receives the Curse Binding "Comfort Regardless of Temperature," with effects equivalent to the same name Idol School spell; when the bearer is attacked, a "Trail Erase" is instantly released, with effects equivalent to silver-tier stealth ability.

Effect: Consumes silver coins for automatic repair; can be repaired with paint.

The garment, after Paper Princess’s meticulous repair, had been significantly strengthened.

And one could discern the different temperaments of the two deities by the properties they granted to this garment:

The Silver Baron seemed more inclined to give Annan a higher status, worrying that Annan would be secretly poisoned or, after his clothes were torn, left in a state of disarray and embarrassment.

But Paper Princess was more concerned with Annan’s comfort and safety: "Comfortable in Any Climate," this silver-tier spell, was too extravagant to be attached to clothing.

— Can’t you change your clothes when it’s cold or hot? (thunderous voice)

Even a king wouldn’t do this... If they had the chance, they would probably prefer to attach a same-tier spell of their own school such as "Righteous Aura" or "Persuasion Spell."

The spell "Comfortable in Any Climate" is more often used to resist attacks— for instance, to prevent oneself from being frostbitten or frozen stiff when attacked by a Cripple Wizard; or as an emergency measure to protect internal organs in hot winds and high-temperature environments.

In reality, it is the combined version of the bronze-tier spells "Heat Resistance" and "Cold Resistance." After all, these two spells cannot coexist... and in some cases, the situation isn’t that complicated.

But because spell slots are limited, even silver-tier idol wizards wouldn’t typically learn such a seemingly useless spell. And this spell is a Chanting Spell, requiring a large spell slot.

Annan is a level 22 silver-tier wizard, with a total of only thirteen spell slots, of which only four are for Chanting Spells.

What made Annan somewhat embarrassed was... Paper Princess specifically chose this spell to enchant him with, essentially saying that she thought Annan might not know how to take care of himself and could catch a cold by accident.

Whose overly concerned old aunt is this...

... Perhaps it’s because he looks to be only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Leaving that spell out, which made him quite helpless.

Paper Princess also enchanted Annan with her own domain’s Divine Arts: "Erasure of Traces."

When stealth and invisibility abilities reach a high tier, they are generally conceptual in nature.

For example, the Divine Art "Hidden in Shadows" can completely eliminate the sound and scent in a dark environment, producing no resistance when attacking, and thus no sound of wind.

The Divine Art called "Reflection Submersion" allows the stealth user to hide in a mirror world and exert an exact mirror impact on the real world— striking through the right chest with a dagger in the mirror world, for instance, would pierce the heart in the real world. Only in reflective surfaces like mirrors, lake surfaces, or sword edges can one trace the stealth user.

"Erasure of Traces" is a Divine Art from the painting domain.

Once used, it acts as an invisible eraser, directly wiping away one’s image. Even making noise, using spells, or launching attacks will not reveal one’s form; only being stained with liquid could break this Divine Art.

This ability can undoubtedly take the initiative in a defensive situation.

Generally speaking, when people see an enemy suddenly disappear, few would continue to attack without hesitation. Under the restraint of instinct and reason, attackers tend to take a defensive posture and immediately heighten their alertness.

This momentary gap is enough for Annan to react.

From these two points of view... Paper Princess’s parting gift is indeed very practical.

As written in the equipment description...

It is the "care" from Paper Princess.

"... The Silver Baron and Paper Princess, huh."

As the bishop who is an old grandmother, Dmitry could see the markings on Annan.

They were divine signatures, clear to see in the eyes of high-ranking clergy.

Less than a year away from home, and he has already received the support of two deities.

And that hair...

Looking at Annan’s hair that had turned to silver, Dmitry was somewhat conflicted.

Being the eldest son, he of course understood what this meant.

— Annan’s "Heart of Winter" had begun to hatch.
