Chapter 113: The True Identity of the King of the Wild Hunt? The Winter's Dusk of the Black Knight

Lord's mansion, garden.

The sunlight was weak and a cold wind was blowing.

The courtyard is planted with apple trees, dotted with herbs such as sage, parsley, and fennel, and grown with vegetables such as cabbage, leeks, and garlic.

The Baron's garden is not only beautiful, but also very practical.

Under the shade of a honeysuckle fence, an old wizard in white robes was teaching the third-level spell 'Wind Wall' to Owl.

"Wind Wall is a third-level spell that requires mobilizing the magic net and wind element in the creation field at the same time. But you have magic organs in your body, so you only need to mobilize the wind element."

Kendra said, "I have just taught you the spell. To cast this spell, you need a fan and a feather from a rare creature as a casting material."

The Snowy Owl thought for a moment and blinked his yellow eyes: "Gu?"

Then I can use my wings as a fan and my feathers as materials for casting spells, right? Candela was stunned for a long time.

At this time, Kendra heard Ye Zhi's voice. He turned around to greet Ye Zhi who had returned. When he learned that the trip to Whitefish Port was successfully resolved, he nodded slightly and asked, "Why did you think of learning the 'Summon Magic Pet' spell?"

Ye Zhi said truthfully: "The contract I signed with the Snow Owl was not a plane pet contract. It is not as convenient to summon it as it is to summon a snow leopard. With the 'Summon Pet' spell, I can summon it through the pet plane, which will be more convenient."

Kendra nodded slowly and said lightly, "I see... Summoning is usually the specialty of the School of Conjuration, and I happen to know some of it."

A wizard can usually specialize in only one school.

Kendara is obviously the master of the School of Transmutation among the Seven Councilors of the Mages Guild, but he is also good at the others.

Yeats admitted that he was fooled by him and asked humbly: "How should I learn?"

"First, prepare the materials needed to cast the spell of summoning a magical pet," Kendra said. "In addition to the spell and magic net, you also need to prepare charcoal worth one gold coin, incense, and herbs. Burn them in the flames and sprinkle the ashes into the sky."

Yeats was secretly shocked.

A first-level spell costs 1 gold coin to use, which is enough to feed a civilian family for four months.

"When practicing, it's best to experiment with live chickens and ducks. Don't use it on your pet until I'm sure you've mastered it."

Kendra said very seriously, "Otherwise, the spatial fluctuations generated during the summoning will cause great harm to your Snow Owl."

Ye Zhi nodded and said, "I won't act rashly. Teacher, what is the spell?"

Kendra said, "Come to me."

Ye Zhi walked up to Kendela and stared at him strangely: "And then?"

Kendra stroked his beard and said calmly: "The spell to summon a familiar is 'Come to me'."

Ye Zhi: “…”

"To summarize the steps, you need to invoke the magic web, call the spell, and sprinkle ashes worth one gold coin into the air."

Kendra said: "Of course, as a magic apprentice, you can already start learning how to copy scrolls... Just copy the spell to summon a magical pet on the scroll, and use the scroll directly when needed."

Ye Zhi memorized the steps and began to study this spell seriously in the next two days.

Ye Zhi handed over the chickens and ducks that had unfortunately died due to the failure of the 'Summon Magic Pet' spell to the kitchen servants.

Gray was very surprised about this: "Ye Zhi, why is the food in the Lord's Mansion so good these two days?"

At the dining table, Yeats forked a roasted chicken leg and put it into Gray's bowl, saying, "Just eat yours."

Over the past two days, Yeats tried dozens of times, but all ended in failure.

However, Snow Owl successfully learned the third-level spell 'Wind Wall' in the past two days.

During the day, when Ye Zhi was practicing hard, the snowy owl would stand on the tree beside him, squinting its eyes and taking a nap.

Ye Zhi looked at Snow Owl's relaxed appearance and thought to herself, "It looks like he's lazy, but he's actually staying up late every night to study, right?"

Finally, on the morning of the third day, in the back garden.

Yeats suddenly realized something, and threw the valuable ashes into the sky. He thought of the classic lines, which sounded very funny:

"Squire, come to me!"

The ashes formed a magical wave in the sky, and a summoning gap opened.

A rooster flew out from it, flapped its wings and landed on the ground, looking around in confusion.

"You have learned a new spell!"

"Summon a familiar: First level. You choose a creature you are familiar with, leave magical coordinates on it, and summon it from a location no more than 100 kilometers away to your side. When summoning a familiar that has signed a contract with you, you can summon creatures of more than one level, otherwise you can only summon creatures of one level. Level-up: Increase the casting distance and the number of summons."

Yeats was filled with emotion.

Finally learned a new spell!

At this moment, there was a sound of a door being pushed open behind her. Gray looked out in confusion:

"What did you call me for?"

Ye Zhi asked blankly, "Who called you?"

Gray asked, "Then why did you yell, 'Servant, come to me?'"

Ye Zhi: "...Nothing, you can go back."

Gray muttered to herself and closed the door. Ye Zhi suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait, Gray, come with me to inspect the territory!"

Yeats rode on a carrot and traveled with Gray to the forest outside the town.

The goblin met Yeats and reported the gold digging rat's harvest in the past few days.

"It actually found some gemstone ore. Look, this ore can be polished into garnets, which can be sold for a lot of gold coins..."

Yeats was in a good mood and couldn't help but bend over and touch the furry gold digger.

"From now on, I will call you 'Wangcai'!"

The black mole sniffed the gold coin handed to him by Yeats, hugged the coin and gnawed it, looking very happy.

Ye Zhi left a magic coordinate on Wangcai, so he could summon it through the "Summon Magic Pet" spell when needed.

Later, Yeats met the necromancer Rishi who was explaining the 'Guide to Potato Planting' to farmers.

The farmer greeted Yeats in awe, and at Yeats's signal, left, leaving Yeats to communicate with Rich.

"I really didn't expect, Lord..." Li Xi sighed, "Under your leadership, Morning Frost Ridge would be able to develop to this extent."

When the Golden Lion King established the barony of Morning Frost Ridge, his original intention was to build an outpost to deal with the invasion of the barbarians in the Absolute Ridge Mountains.

In this poor place, even survival is a big problem, but Yeats of Blandy has developed this territory into a town-level scale, with a prosperous market and a militia equipped with crossbows and chain mail, which makes them look even more elite!

Richie knew the difficulty and was shocked. However, he saw this respectable young nobleman smiling and said, "I plan to make Whitefish Harbor a knight territory and give it to you. I hope you can manage it for me. What do you think?"

Li Xi was shocked and terrified, and quickly refused.

Ye Zhi said seriously, "I trust your ability, Li Xi. If you want to leave in the future, just return this Knight Territory to me."

Li Xi was touched, he adjusted his glasses and whispered: "I am willing to serve you..."

Return to the lord's mansion.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

By the fireplace.

Yeats unfolded the letter delivered by carrier pigeon. It was a handwritten letter from Lena Starlight.

[To my dear Lord Baron, Mr. Yeats:

I have received your letter about wanting to buy a ring of sled dogs, and I will do my best to fulfill your request.

besides.

Please allow me to reveal something to you other than business cooperation.

In fact, three days ago, when I led a caravan on the Red Oak, returning to the Golden Lion Kingdom from the Ice Sea, we unexpectedly encountered turbulent seas.

The encounter was so thrilling and mythical that most people didn't believe what I said.

But this matter is suppressed in my heart, and I think if it were you, you might be willing to listen to these crazy words.

Back to the point, the turbulent sea sent the red oak to the Crazy Shark Sea. You know, it's the legendary territory of the Crazy Shark God, surrounded by countless sharks.

I thought I was doomed and was praying to the goddess of death when the King of the Wild Hunt appeared in the sky.

He rode an eight-legged horse, wielded a lightning-like spear, and killed an enormous great white shark with a single strike.

It was because of His appearance that the caravan and I were able to survive and return to Golden Lion.

After this disaster, the Starlight Chamber of Commerce was severely damaged and can no longer continue to invest in your territory.

Please accept my sincerest apologies. Lena Starlight.

Yeats put down the letter and frowned slightly.

The King of the Wild Hunt saved Lyna's fleet?

This plot did not happen in the original work. Is it because of the butterfly effect caused by me? The appearance of the King of the Wild Hunt mentioned by Lena in the letter is crucial information.

Eight-legged horse and lightning spear, this description is very similar to Odin, the god king in Norse mythology.

But in the pantheon of "Phantom Wings", there is no main god named Odin.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but think of the "Twilight of the Gods" and "Old Gods and New Gods" mentioned by his guardian beast, the snow leopard.

A bold guess came to Yeats's mind.

"Could it be that the King of the Wild Hunt is Odin, who died in Ragnarok in the last era and was resurrected in the new era, and came as the Wild Hunt?"

Yeats fell into deep thought.

What is the purpose of the King of the Wild Hunt?

If the predecessor of the King of the Wild Hunt was the God-King, it would not be difficult to explain why he dared to offend all the gods including the Holy Light at the same time.

But in the official setting of "Phantom Wings", there is no name Odin at all, nor is there any record of eight-legged horses or lightning spears.

Only as a time traveler, based on my knowledge of Norse mythology from my previous life, can I know that this is the appearance of Odin.

Ye Zhi rubbed his brows and thought:

"Odin's answer is so simple that it's suspicious. It's better to make a bolder assumption."

"For example, the person who stole the "Travels of the Emperor of Lorraine" was actually the powerful Emperor of Lorraine who swept across the continent..."

At this time.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Hildreth pushed the door open and walked in. Her long hair was flaming red. Her pair of pale golden phoenix eyes stared at Ye Zhi and said, "In two days, it will be the Black Knight's holy day, the Winter Dusk Festival."

During the one-day Wintergarde, followers of the Black Knight review the campaigns of the past year, ponder strategies, analyze battles, and integrate accumulated knowledge into future battles.

"So, I would like to ask you for a day off. I am going to the Black Knight chessboard on the top of the mountain to pray." said Hildreth.

Yeats asked curiously, “Does prayer require any offerings?”

Hild thought for a moment and said, "He favors large prey such as wild boars and wild deer. I plan to start from this aspect."

Ye Zhi said, "I will go with you."

The Black Knight's sacred objects include the King's chess set, warhorse, falcon, and hound.

She was particularly fond of strategy chess games, and the Four Kings Knight Chess invented by Yeats also met this requirement.

"I have to ask the Black Knight to bless the horse Carrot in my prayer."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "If we can get the right sled dogs, it will also increase our combat power!"
