Understanding

After deciding to participate in the Trial of the Sun, Fran left the Sun Domain and did not return directly to the Material Realm.

Because she hadn't been Sun Domain for very long, she came out directly, and now she has to wait seven days before she can proceed to the next step.

She needed to purchase some materials, specifically upgrade materials for the Black Horse, as she needed to ensure Black Horse was immune to Blaze.

Fran went directly to the Adventurers Guild. The several quests she had posted to find materials for the ' Song of the Deep Sea ' had yielded no results yet. Fran had no choice but to continue waiting.

When Fran inquired again about materials with extremely high fire resistance, she received this reply.

"Sorry, we don't have that kind of Magic Creature material in stock. You can place another order..."

Fran wasn't surprised by this, considering that even the most famous Dragonkin Dragon Scale, known for their ability to remain active for a long time, only last for about ten years.

If no Dragon Blood or similar substances are used to stimulate the Dragon Scale during these ten years, the Dragon Scale will become as brittle as mud.

Normally, many Adventurer teams will wait for a quest to appear before they start taking action, because they can earn more money from quests.

This also takes into account the fact that many Magic Creature materials are not easy to preserve. The shelf life of many Magic Creature materials is only a few months, and if they can't be sold, they will be stuck with the stock.

Therefore, unless they know that the price of a certain Magic Creature material has skyrocketed, or there is a high-value bounty for the mission, most Adventurer will not make any moves.

While completing one job might not allow them to significantly upgrade their weapons and equipment, it's quite normal for a single job to sustain them for two or three years.

Moreover, even when there is a commission, Adventurer generally don't act quickly, because Adventurer's job is a test of patience.

Their requirement wasn't just to defeat the Magic Creature, but to capture or preserve the key materials intact; that would make the Adventurer ' work meaningful.

So this kind of thing can't be rushed, no matter how much money Fran offers.

After leaving the Adventurers Guild, Fran was still struggling with how to modify her warhorse...

But then she suddenly remembered something: she vaguely recalled using the power of the Lord of Radiance to kill a dragon during her Trial in the Spirit Realm.

Fran stopped and said with a smile:

"It seems I'll have to go see the Lord of Radiance. I remember the materials from that dragon should be enough to meet the requirement of being impervious to Blaze."

After Fran returned to Monsa, she went straight to the Divine Temple and stood before the Divine Statue of the Lord of Radiance.

As Fran stepped through the doorway, a glimmer of light appeared on the Divine Statue of the Lord of Radiance.

At the same time, a voice appeared in the main hall.

"You're back so soon? Did you encounter any difficulties while recruiting followers?"

To be honest, Fran sensed that the Lord of Radiance was in a very good mood right now, because this was the first time he had proactively inquired about her difficulties. Before that, it was always the Lord of Radiance her around, giving her some reward afterward...

Fran composed herself and then said:

"I remember Monsa had a dragon's body, didn't he? I want that dragon's body to do something."

The Divine Statue was silent for a moment, then said:

"That's fine. You can take the Dragon Blood; I don't need this kind of thing to give them power."

From Fran's observation of Monsa, it's clear that the Lord of Radiance truly didn't use Dragon Blood to grant power to the inhabitants here, but the Deity before the Lord of Radiance did require Dragon Blood.

This is quite easy to guess, because before this, Monsa was not the main base of that Deity, so the other party did not pay much attention to this place.

Just like how the Lord of Radiance brought back a bunch of Block from outside, according to Fran's inquiry, the inhabitants of those Block, like the Monsa before them, didn't have many First Order Priest at all.

Moreover, judging from the previous Deity's ability to create Divine Water using Dragon Blood, it was probably because that Deity resembled a dragon, which is likely related to its unique abilities.

"Is there anything else? If not, hurry up and go to the Material Realm to help me develop followers. Now I can communicate with you through that book, so you don't need to come up every time..."

Fran only pondered for a moment before the Lord of Radiance assumed she was alright and immediately began urging Fran to return to the Material Realm to help Him develop His followers.

There's one more thing.

Fran paused for a moment, then continued:

"It's about the Sun Domain you asked me to go there last time. I found the Trial of the Sun there, but now this Trial is causing some trouble."

"What trouble?" the Divine Statue asked curiously.

"During the Trial, there will be a bunch of God's Proxy who will try to hinder the Trial, so I wanted to ask you, are you aware of this?"

The Divine Statue remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"This was the personal act of those Deity who arrived in the Spirit Realm first; I knew nothing about it."

The Lord of Radiance has not yet had time to join the circle of Deity who have already entered the Spirit Realm, because He has only been in the Spirit Realm for a short time and has not yet established a firm foothold, so those Deity do not communicate with Him.

"Could you get involved with those Deity and then put me in the group that's blocking the Sun Trial?"

Fran stated her request directly: if she could go in with the other Proxy, she would never reveal that she was the one who was to undergo the Trial.

"This won't do. Have you forgotten what we did before?"

The Lord of Radiance was referring to their previous raid on the Emerald Market.

After this incident, it was clear to anyone with eyes that it was definitely the work of a Deity, otherwise the protection of the Spirit Realm would not have failed so quickly.

Because of this incident, the Lord of Radiance incurred the wrath of the owner of the Emerald Market and the Deity who were on good terms with him.

Although the Lord of Radiance did not regret obtaining a large number of Spirit Crystal through this method, its negative impact was entirely unavoidable.

With those Deity hindering him, the Lord of Radiance of Lord of Radiance is now almost unable to communicate with Deity Deity, let alone complete Fran's mission.

"But I think you don't need to go in with those Proxy at all."

Fran had just frowned when she heard this sentence, and then she listened to the Divine Statue continue to speak.

"All you need to do once you're inside is reveal your identity Proxy; you don't need to mingle with the other Proxy."

"Won't that arouse suspicion from the Proxy?" Fran asked, voicing her doubts.

After all, everyone knew each god before going in, but suddenly there's an unknown god's Proxy after entering. Doesn't that seem suspicious?

"This is a secret among our Deity; only the Deity of the Astral Realm know its significance," the Lord of Radiance said meaningfully.

"I didn't connect this Trial of the Sun with the sun in the Astral Realm before. I thought it was just a coincidence in the name, but judging from the attitude of those Deity, it's not a coincidence."

"I cannot tell you this secret, but I can tell you that we Gods all hate the sun."

"On the matter of opposing the sun, all the Deity will stand together, so even if I send my own Proxy to obstruct the Trial of the Sun, the other Deity will not be surprised."

"Just don't show anything unique to that Trial."

Fran listened to the Lord of Radiance's words and seemed to be deep in thought.

In any case, entering as an Proxy of the Lord of Radiance is enough to make many Proxy give up attacking her, and it also helps her complete the Trial.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. If you act as my Proxy during the Trial, some Proxy of the Deity might attack you."

These divine agents who attacked Fran were none other than the gods whom the Lord of Glory had offended.

Among them were the Deity who had been driven out of Monsa by the Lord of Radiance, and the Deity who hated the Lord of Radiance because of the Emerald Market incident.

Fran even suspected that the Proxy of the Goddess of Ocean Currents would also attack her, not because of the conflict between the Deity, but because of their personal grudges, if the other party were to come to this Trial.

Fran frowned. Even though she was using the identity of the Lord of Radiance's Proxy, Fran still felt that she was not 100% confident that she could pass this Trial.

"This is unavoidable now; this is all I can do before the Trial begins."

Fran knew very well that although she would still face attacks from many people if she went in now, the situation was at least better than before.

Previously, she had to fight against all the Proxy, but now she only needs to fight against a few, leaving no room for improvement in terms of the number of enemies.

"I can also use the [Rite of Weapon Forging] to make a temporary weapon, and I can also modify myself with the ' Song of the Deep Sea ' to enhance myself."

Fran then thought of the improvements she could make now. Although the remaining seven days were a bit tight, it was enough for her to complete these initial tasks.

"That's settled then. Strengthen yourself, and then get to Zali a little earlier than usual to ask him what kind of help he can offer."

Zali is the lord of the Sun Domain. If the other party is willing to help her, she can take the initiative in this Trial and increase her chances of winning.

"Goodbye, I'll go back and prepare now."

Fran turned and closed the door, leaving only the Divine Statue's eyes still Radiance.

"Why is she going to participate in the Trial of the Sun? Doesn't she already have the mage Profession? How can she obtain the Sun Profession?"

"But if she wasn't aiming to establish Profession, then why did she participate in the Trial?"

From within the Divine Temple came the questioning voice of the Lord of Radiance.
