Chapter 3: A Third-Tier Mage Can Be Very Useful!
"Good kid! You actually detected the Di Ke Clan's tracks. Are you really only a third-tier?"
Holy Moon looked at Lin Ye in disbelief, growing more satisfied the more he saw.
"It wasn't me, the wind elements told me."
Lin Ye extended his finger, and a Qing-colored whirlwind wrapped around its tip, making Holy Moon's eyelids twitch.
This truly was the demeanor of a Magic God. At such a young age, he possessed such elemental affinity.
If he were also equipped with a spirit furnace... even Holy Moon, a ninth-tier powerhouse, could barely imagine it.
"Then why don't you help deal with these invisible Di Ke Clan members? What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Cai'er's pretty brows furrowed slightly. Thinking her Great-Grandfather was making things difficult for him, she tightly squeezed his hand in displeasure.
"Xiao Ye..."
"It's alright, Cai'er, this is very simple." Lin Ye readily accepted Holy Moon's challenge.
As everyone knows, mages use Eye of Investigation and Eagle Eye Technique.
The former can detect large unknown areas but cannot reveal invisibility, while the latter can detect invisibility but has a limited range.
However, besides these two, there is another, most practical one.
That is the light-attribute Eye of Truth!
"Eye of Truth!"
Lin Ye let out a low shout, and the staff in his hand glowed with dazzling light. The rich light element made even Holy Moon, standing nearby, afraid to blink, fearing he would miss this scene.
Whoosh~!!
In the span of a single breath, an Eye of Truth had already flown towards the city wall, illuminating all the invisible Di Ke Clan members attempting to climb the wall!
Holy Moon was about to praise Lin Ye when he keenly noticed that one Eye of Truth after another was being sent out by him.
In less than a minute, the city wall was covered with Eyes of Truth, revealing the forms of all the invisible Di Ke Clan members!
"Such fast casting speed, and this skill range! It's twice that of a normal mage!"
Holy Moon stared at the scene, dumbfounded, his fingers unconsciously stroking his beard, almost pulling it off with the force!
"You little monster, you are truly a prodigy unseen in a thousand years in the Magic Hall!"
Lin Ye scratched his head, a little puzzled, "Isn't this how normal mages are? My grandfather never said anything."
Holy Moon clutched his chest, almost cursing Lin Chen from head to toe. That old man, he was actually hiding Lin Ye's talent!
"Great-Grandfather, isn't Eye of Truth a Priest's magic?"
Cai'er, who was huddled beside Lin Ye, suddenly moved, writing on Holy Moon's palm. This sentence, however, made the old man Holy Moon freeze.
That's right, was Lin Ye even from the Magic Hall? How could he know a Priest's skill? Then he looked at Lin Ye seriously.
"You kid, did you secretly join the Priest Hall?"
"Huh? Great-Grandfather, what are you saying? If Priests can use it, why can't we Mages? Isn't the principle pretty much the same?"
Listening to Lin Ye's words, Holy Moon almost bit his tongue. What else did you, kid, know that Great-Grandfather didn't?
"Forget it, I won't pursue your secret. How are you doing with the 'Flower Transfer Technique' book?"
"I've already learned it." Lin Ye confidently patted his chest.
Flower Transfer Technique is a secret manual of the Assassin Hall, primarily used for storing skills, allowing magic skills to connect more smoothly, thereby achieving perfect combos and leaving the enemy no chance to retaliate!
Holy Moon sighed heavily upon hearing this, and couldn't help but pat Lin Ye's head. He was too satisfied with this grandson-in-law!
Meanwhile, on the other side, the warriors by the city wall, upon noticing the Eye of Truth, immediately struck their armor or shields to alert their comrades nearby.
"It's the Di Ke Clan! Damn it, thanks to these Eyes of Truth, they've been a huge help. Brothers, kill these sneaking beasts!"
"Kill them all!"
"For the Alliance!"
The Knights of the Knight Hall roared in unison. The next second, a Pure White Blade was instantly swung out, swiftly killing the invisible Di Ke Clan members who had just climbed the city wall!
Then, with the help of the Eye of Truth, all the Di Ke Clan members attempting to sneak attack were annihilated!
Afterwards, the Priests who originally belonged to the Demon Extermination Pass reacted, immediately casting Eye of Truth. The rich light element instantly filled the ramparts of the Demon Extermination Pass!
Light element was nothing short of poison to the demons!
The situation instantly turned in favor of the Demon Extermination Pass. Under the coordinated attack of thousands of mages, the pressure and casualties of the Warrior Hall and Knight Hall were greatly reduced!
Lin Ye stood beside Holy Moon, watching the dazzling and brilliant magic in the sky, and the advantageous counterattack below. A smile couldn't help but appear on his face. He then recounted these scenes to Cai'er, who listened quietly.
"Let's go, we won this autumn offensive."
Holy Moon looked at the scene below, smiled, and waved his cloak, bringing Lin Ye and Cai'er back to the main hall.
About half an hour later, Lan Yanyu, Sheng Lingxin, and Lin Chen walked back side by side. The few of them chatted and laughed, as if the brutal war they had just experienced was nothing.
"I wonder which Priest was so sharp, releasing the Eye of Truth in advance. That's why our warriors didn't suffer too many losses. When I find him, I must reward him handsomely!"
Sheng Lingxin laughed heartily three times. If not for those Eyes of Truth, this autumn offensive would probably have increased losses by another ten percent.
"It was your son-in-law who released it."
As soon as Holy Moon's words fell, the entire hall fell silent, especially Lin Chen, who looked as if he had swallowed a fly as he watched Lin Ye whispering to Cai'er.
"Grandpa, you must be joking. Xiao Ye is from the Magic Hall, how could he know a Priest's skill?"
Sheng Lingxin couldn't help but laugh, but when he saw Holy Moon's serious expression, his laughter abruptly stopped.
"Xiao Ye... was it really you?"
Sheng Lingxin swallowed, a little disbelieving.
"It was me. Thanks to Grandpa, I was able to learn the Priest Hall's skills. I even know healing spells!"
Lin Ye's own spiritual power was attribute-less, which allowed him to accommodate and freely use magic skills of various elements.
The next second, a golden beam of light entered Sheng Lingxin's body, and the visible external injuries were rapidly healed!
"I heard that Ling Xiao, the Hall Master of the Priest Hall, has been at odds with you recently. Did you steal their skills?" Lan Yanyu looked thoughtfully at Lin Chen, who was beside her.
"Don't talk nonsense. I traded for it legitimately, and I returned it in a day. That guy being at odds with me is purely because he wants to annoy me."
Lin Chen replied calmly. Since Lin Ye's talent had already been exposed, there was nothing for him to hide. It was better to be frank; at least it would be easier. After all, they would all be one family eventually.
"Xiao Ye, you're amazing!"
Cai'er happily held Lin Ye's hand, earnestly writing words of praise on his palm.
"Thank you, Cai'er."
Lin Ye smiled brightly, then used his other hand to caress Cai'er's soft purple hair.
Watching this heartwarming scene between the two youngsters, Sheng Lingxin and Lan Yanyu exchanged smiles. If there were no demons, their lives would probably be like this too...
