With the decision having been made by Arthur, the goddess moved quickly.
>Player Arzhur has been Blessed by the Mistress of the Beasts!<
>Player Arzhur has obtained the Blessing of Understanding!<
As soon as Arthur obtained the blessing, he felt the change. It was a strange feeling for him, as he felt like there was a direct link extending from his thoughts to another being.
This was none other than the Dragon Horn Beetle Brambles.
'Can you hear ?' Arthur tried to test it out.
~KRRR
A low sound was heard coming from Bramble, while Arthur felt his thoughts being reciprocated.
'Bramble's isn't exactly 'talking' but can communicate still… it's like a direct understanding of thoughts.' Arthur could surprisingly tell what the beast was thinking.
He even tested out by giving so commands, and Brambles responded appropriately. Arthur wished to test out the blessing more, but knew now was not the ti to do that. There were still two deities watching him after all.
"I thank the Mistress of the Beasts for her blessing." Arthur said with gratitude.
"But why? What do you wish for in exchange?" Arthur knew it wouldn't be sothing simple.
"Fun?" Arthur could tell that the deity was hinting at sothing and also had an idea about what it might be.
He went silent for a minute and thought about it, before giving a reply.
"So I just need to do whatever I want to, and as long as you find it to be fun, you'll let use it?" Arthur questioned.
"Hmm… alright." While it was still risky, Arthur reckoned he may as well take it. 'There might actually be more trouble if I deny Loki after all this. He won't be pleased and might just cause trouble for without even knowing it.' He thought.
Arthur finally extended his hand and touched the square sheet of skin that was floating in front of him.
>Player Arzhur has obtained the unique item 'Veil of Thousand Skins'<
Holding it in his hand, Arthur felt the texture of the veil. It was just like that of skin and was actually rather smooth.
'As if it were made from the skin of a beauty or that of a newborn infant…' Arthur couldn't help but think.
>The presence of the Trickster who likes Plays has disappeared<
Despite there being a notification, Arthur didn't trust that the god had really left.
'Just the fact that he can sense whether or not I'm having 'fun' ans he's watching .' Arthur could read between the lines.
~Sigh~
"Things only keep on getting complicated…" Arthur shook his head.
Still, there was another thing he needed to do.
'Wonder if Dragon's Insight can still work on it…' Arthur questioned.
The item had been given not by any deity, but the god Loki himself. Even with a legendary skill like Dragon's Insight, there were no guarantees.
>Dragon's insight has been activated!<
>Dragon's Insight is being restrained!<
>Dragon's insight has partially succeeded!<
'Just as I thought… still it can show so information.' Arthur thought.
~DING~

"This…" As soon as Arthur saw the information, he was utterly shocked.
While there was so information shown when Loki was presenting the veil to Arthur, it was not showing the details. There was only a vague description of what the veil could do.
But now that the exact effects of it were shown, Arthur almost couldn't believe it.
"This… this isn't even at the level of a legendary item!" Arthur was absolutely sure of it.
Items that could change the appearance of a player were uncommon right now, but many would appear as the ga progressed. Not just that, but there were also skills and magic that could do the sa.
But items that could change the player's na were quite rare even back then.
As for an item that could disguise the class of a player?
There were simply none.
Class was sothing that was absolute for the most part. Once a player got a class, they could only switch to a new better class or advance their class into a stronger version.
Then there was the information about the Veil of thousand skins itself.
'This is a warning isn't it?' Arthur was sure that Loki had placed it there.
It was a warning for what could happen to those that tried to go against the chaotic god.
Players would experience that themselves in the future. After all, there was no lack of people who would want to try their hands at fighting a god. Of course, a direct fight might be impossible, but making them lose out was still possible.
Then there were players that wanted revenge against the various deities. Whether it be due to their past actions or so quest, they would eventually do it.
Loki was one of the bigger targets since he liked to ss things up for the players from ti to ti.
'Even one of the top 10 guilds from back then collapsed because Loki targeted them.' Arthur recalled.
It was a huge incident back then and had shaken up all the other guilds too. It had made them wary about the god and most had decided to simply stay away from it.
It led to a reshuffling and allowed another guild to take the place of the guild that had fallen to the whims of Loki.
'I just… have to make sure I don't piss him off.' Arthur thought to himself. "But then again… it's not like our goals don't align." Considering his plans for the future, Arthur realized there will be chaos created by his actions eventually.
"Guess the trickster will really get to see so fun things…" Arthur muttered while staring at the veil.
He brought the veil closer to his face, prompting it to move on its own.
~SMACK~
The veil stuck to Arthur's face automatically, covering it entirely.
'Ugh! This…' Arthur's eyes, nose, and face were all covered by the veil making it hard for him to see or breathe.
But this was rely the start, as the veil started to grow!
