Chapter 220: The Legend of the Rainbow Tail

Chapter 220: The Legend of the Rainbow Tail

It was an odd sensation—both handbooks mentioned the same person, yet both conspired to omit her name.

Sonya and Deya had no leads on this, though it was nothing more than an insignificant detail.

Ashe mentioned it to Sonya simply because the coincidence was too striking not to share as a piece of gossip. However, he wasn’t particularly curious.

After all, the owners of the handbooks were from an unknown time, and ‘she,’ ‘that woman’ mentioned in the texts might well have been dead for centuries. If fate allowed, they might even end up exhuming her remains!

This was the enchanting allure of the Virtual Realm, a final resting place for knowledge and a graveyard for sorcerers.

Each Sorcerer Handbook here chronicled a life from thousands of years ago, with stories so deeply engraved they may have been lost to the real world without any remaining written records.

Reality is cruel to everyone, but the Virtual Realm cherishes each of its children.

Ashe handed the Sorcerer Handbook back to Deya, and upon absorbing it, her hair quickly returned to white.

“What ability did you get?” Ashe asked curiously.

“Shouldn’t that be private? How can he have the nerve to ask? Go on, White Queen, Rush him, scold him to death!”

“My dear Princess, we’re teammates now, and it’s essential to be transparent about information that could potentially enhance our combat strength.”

Deya felt a strange sensation, her expression turning peculiar: “I’ve gained a sensory ability called ‘Love Hunting.’”

“What?”

“It means, if someone harbors feelings of affection for another, I can easily sense it.”

Upon hearing this, Sonya instinctively stepped back.

But then she saw the Witch wink at her, with a look that said ‘even without this ability, I could see right through you.’ Sonya tried to maintain eye contact with the Witch, but the blush on her face was impossible to hide.

As Ashe recalled the later content of the handbook: “Speaking of which, that Mission Sorcerer seemed to have captured many hidden couples within the Temple. Could it be that she awakened her own talent when she exposed Frank, becoming a love cop? Nonetheless, this ability is quite practical, certainly more so than my ‘Shovel Proficiency’ or ‘Secrets of Bliss (effective only on females over two meters tall)’.”

“Those Sorcerers who can and dare to fly undoubtedly have fully spread their wings, and might even have developed a tactical system, possessing numerous Two-Wings spirits and Miracles. It’s not an exaggeration to call them the strong among Two-Wings Sorcerers. If it wasn’t for their inability to elevate their Faction Realm to Sanctuary-Level, they wouldn’t risk challenging the sky.”

“But even they cannot touch the sky, which shows that relying on flight to reach the Distant Skies is completely unfeasible.”

Ashe tilted his head, “But isn’t the Rainbow Tail also high in the sky? After all, it’s the tail of the White Bull.”

“The information I found says that the Rainbow Tail might be very long, possibly even hanging down to the ground,” Sonya said. “These Sorcerers fly not to transmigrate through the sky, but to search for the Rainbow Tail that descends within the Golden Rain.”

“Although there is no evidence, many Sorcerers believe that once they enter the Rainbow Tail, the Knowledge Creatures will no longer attack them, and they will be able to follow the Rainbow Tail to the Distant Skies.”

“So the true meaning of the Rainbow Tail is a ‘safe flight route’...” Ashe finally understood, “It’s a miraculous way of smuggling oneself...”

“In the past, I would have definitely thought that the Rainbow Tail was just a myth passed around among Sorcerers,” Sonya said with anticipation. “But now it’s different, Observer, give it your all. Just like finding the Golden Fish, let’s find the Rainbow Tail too!”

“It’s not that simple,” Ashe said with a touch of irritation. “I have a feeling that the truth about the Rainbow Tail is like the true nature of the Golden Fish—definitely different from the information that’s been spread around. Otherwise, other Sorcerers would have already found it, and it wouldn’t still be a legend.”

“They sure are arrogant. There are only a few Sorcerers in the entire Virtual Realm who have found the Rainbow Tail, and here they are, setting it as their target right away. Go ahead and mock them!”

“If you’re so eager to express your desires, do it yourself.”

“The White Queen has changed; you don’t love me anymore.”

“My dear Princess, even if I loved you, I’d still find you annoying.”

Ashe pushed the sports car to chase after time, looking at the area notifications on the Virtual Realm map, determined to scavenge at least one more Resource Point tonight.

Suddenly, a series of golden areas appeared on the Virtual Realm map.

Based on past experiences, golden areas indicated the presence of an Adventure. However, the area notification gave Ashe a chilling feeling—

“Everyone will grow old and die, including you, so you better hurry up.”
