“It’s really unbelievable!”

Watching her own feet leave the small boat and soar into the white mist, Sonia was so excited that goosebumps covered her whole body. It was like seeing Daidalos for the first time in a holographic play within the light curtain, and she was deeply moved by this miraculous scene.

“Don’t get too excited,” Asho reassured her. “We need to cooperate with each other. If we make a mistake, we’ll fall.”

Sonia, however, was confident at this moment. “Didn’t you say that there is a bond between us? If there really is a bond, then this kind of understanding is nothing.”

She glanced at Asho and tightly held his right hand with her left hand, as if by doing so, their hearts would be connected. The wings of their silver wings flapped at the same frequency, supporting each other like a pair of birds in flight.

“We’ve worked so hard to find so many clues about the Golden Fish, deduced the truth, and discovered the correct way to fly…”

Asho coughed solemnly. “I deduced the truth and discovered the way to fly. Of course, you, Sword Girl, also made a great contribution…”

“Yes, yes, Observer, you’re amazing,” Sonia smiled brightly. “I declare that tonight, your position in my heart can be compared to Daidalos!”

“Only tonight? And who is Daidalos?”

“She’s my most admired idol! It’s only for one night, but at least this time I compared you to someone.”

“I’m curious about who or what you compared me to before…”

The two of them laughed foolishly for a while. Asho stopped laughing, looked up at the gray sky, and asked seriously, “Are you ready?”

“Mm,” Sonia nodded heavily.

“Observer, let’s fly.”

Flutter!

With the flapping of their silver wings, they flew into the white mist like birds, soaring higher and higher. The Knowledge Sea became farther and farther away, and Asho’s “Virtual Realm Map” began to become chaotic. The higher they went, the thinner the white mist became, and they could even faintly see a golden light at the end!

“How did those sorcerers find companions to fly with them?” Sonia suddenly asked. “Can other sorcerers also team up to explore the Virtual Realm besides us?”

“Perhaps, but I guess it’s an even more incredible possibility.”

“What possibility?”

“That they met friends from the real world in the Virtual Realm.”

“By chance, they met another sorcerer in the Virtual Realm who happened to be a friend they knew, and both of them happened to unfold their silver wings, and they happened to know the truth about the Golden Fish? So many coincidences that rely on luck…”

“It’s precisely because there are too many coincidences that it can be called a miracle.”

As they got closer to the sky, the white mist became thinner and thinner. They also felt that their ‘bodies’ were getting heavier, as if the Knowledge Sea’s gravity on them had increased. Their hands, feet, and even their bodies felt like they were filled with lead.

The Knowledge Sea was preventing illegal immigrants.

If they really flew up relying on miracles, they would most likely be stopped here. Just like adventurers, their soaring dreams would be pulled down by heavy gravity, falling into the deep sea and shattering like crystals.

However, the swinging of their virtual wings seemed effortless, easily cutting through the white mist and resisting gravity. Even if their souls were bound by the Knowledge Sea, the virtual wings still allowed them to roam freely.

As they saw the golden light getting closer and closer, and as they were about to smuggle from the Knowledge Sea to the Time Continent, Sonia’s panic grew, and her breathing became heavier.

She couldn’t suppress her emotions and couldn’t help but ask a question that had been buried deep in her heart: “Why me?”

She didn’t understand her own emotions. Clearly, this question could be asked after everything was over, asked tomorrow, asked in the future. But she had to get an answer at this moment, even if it wasn’t the answer she expected.

Even though it could harm her own interests, at least at this moment, Sonia felt that there was something more important than her promotion to the Second Wing.

Asho unexpectedly glanced at her, although it was abrupt, he understood what Sword Girl was asking.

He had originally planned to make a joke, but the words that came to his lips turned into the truth: “It’s just a coincidence.”

Sonia concealed her emotional fluctuations well and showed a professional smile. “I knew it. It seems that I’m lucky—”

“It’s not luck for me,” Asho said softly. “It’s precisely because of this coincidence with you that a series of miracles happened.”

“Some things cannot be locked up. Even if they are bound, they will still grow wings and fly,” he suddenly recalled this phrase. “Sword Girl, I can fly not because of the silver wings, but because of you.”

“When I was bound and trapped in prison, you became the window for me to explore the Virtual Realm, and you helped me obtain the power of a sorcerer.”

Asho looked at Sonia and smiled. “Sword Girl, you are my wings.”

Sonia stared at him in a daze. Under the increasingly dazzling golden light, the black mist that covered the Observer’s face quickly dissipated, revealing a finely crafted smiling face and a pair of radiant eyes.

After knowing each other for many days, Sonia finally saw his face.

At this moment, all the dissatisfaction, complaints, worries, and so on that had lingered in her heart vanished. She had never felt this way in her life. It was even more joyful than wearing new clothes for the first time, more exciting than seeing Garlean for the first time, and sweeter than the feeling of eating ice cream for the first time… It was like… It was like the previously unnoticed emptiness in her heart was quietly filled.

Finally, she tightly held Asho’s hand, made a soft sound in her nose, and whispered:

“You are also my Golden Fish.”

Asho chuckled. “What a strange metaphor. I feel like I’m just a stepping stone for you.”

Sonia defended herself softly, “That’s not what I meant…””Just kidding, I understand what you mean. So next… let’s witness the real golden fish!”

Splash!

As they flew over the outermost white mist, what came into view was a clear, mirror-like, vast ocean-like golden sea that occupied the entire sky.

With the flapping of the silver wings, the golden sea in the sky seemed to be stimulated, stirring up waves. The rolling golden sea water reflected the distinct feathers of the silver wings, suddenly looking like layers of fish scales!

In the blink of an eye, the golden sea turned into the belly of a golden fish!

“This is… the truth of the golden fish!” Sonia murmured softly.

Asho was also deeply shocked by this spectacle, but he didn’t linger at all, instead he showed a satisfied smile, leading Sword Girl into the golden sea!

The next second, the world turned upside down!
