Chapter 119 Ye Zhi is promoted to the Knight of the First Ring

The foreshadowing from the Black Knight made Yeats and his companions fall into deep thought.

"The Church's influence is extremely widespread, and it has always been suppressive of polytheism." Ye Zhi thought to himself, "It is reasonable for the gods to hate the Holy Light."

The prosperity of the church can be traced back to the era of the King of Lorraine.

This tough guy who came from heaven established Holy Light as the state religion, but secretly asked Archmage Merlin to create the Mages Guild to provide a check and balance.

Yeats felt that if this was the case, there was no need to establish Holy Light as the state religion.

Of course, it is possible that the King of Lorraine was not in control of himself...

"It is true that corruption and extravagance are common in the church." Hildreth pondered, "When I was serving in the Middle Court Empire, I often heard about the sale of priesthood and indulgences to make money, as if as long as there was money, all the evil in the world would no longer exist."

Gray tilted her head and asked, "What is an indulgence?"

"The Pope claims that believers can be forgiven for their sins after purchasing this voucher." Hilde said coldly, "In fact, it is just a means of making money."

Yeats thought for a moment and said, "If I rob a bishop who sells indulgences, am I guilty or not?"

"It's a good joke material..." The Black Knight nodded thoughtfully, "I'll make a note of it."

Then.

Yeats took out the Four Kings Knight chess piece and presented it to the Black Knight.

He briefly introduced the rules of the game to the Black Knight, who nodded with interest and said, "To win the game of Knight Chess, it seems that you need the favor of the goddess of luck more than strategy, but it is still a novel chess sport... I accept this gift."

"In return..." The Black Knight looked at Ye Zhi and said, "You have the shadow of practicing combat skills. If I'm not mistaken, you are trying to get promoted in the knight profession?"

Yeats nodded truthfully.

Currently, his life ring is close to the second ring level, and his professions as a bard and a wanderer are both at the first ring.

The bard is his main profession, and music-related spells are enhanced.

Ye Zhi planned to wait until he reached the third ring and then change his job to a sword dancing poet.

The wanderer develops in the direction of the trickster, honing the art of illusion.

Being promoted to a first-ring rogue gave Ye Zhi the ability of "skillful hands"; and being a part-time knight could further enhance Ye Zhi's physique and strength.

Ordinary extraordinary people also have the situation of working in multiple professions part-time, but compared to concentrating on a single profession, the effort and energy put into working part-time will be multiplied.

Ye Zhi had never properly studied the "Way of the Wanderer", and the reason he was able to be promoted to a first-ring Wanderer was purely due to the blessing of the Goddess of Darkness.

If Yeats could take advantage of this Late Winter Festival and be promoted to knight with the help of the Black Knight, it would undoubtedly be a pleasant surprise.

"The joke just now was quite good." The Black Knight said hoarsely, "I am equally satisfied with your food and chess skills. I intend to help you become a knight. Are you willing?"

Hearing this, Ye Zhi's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Of course!"

"It's a pity that you mainly follow the path of the bard..." The Black Knight paused for a moment and said seriously, "In fact, it's not too late for you to major in the way of the knight now."

Ye Zhi: “…”

Are you trying to compete with the goddess of art and youth?

There are ten extraordinary paths in this world, corresponding to ten professions and the ten essences on the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

There are 32 different occupations based on the different gods that people believe in. For example, the wanderer is divided into three occupations: thief, assassin, and trickster, which correspond to three paths.

There are thirty-two professions corresponding to thirty-two paths to becoming a god.

Occupations like gourmet chefs, jewelers, and perfumers are life professions and are not on the path to becoming a god. Therefore, extraordinary people who make a living from these professions often have a combat profession.

Ye Zhi possesses the talent of 'Spirit of Food' and has reached the master level in food attainment. The main thing he lacks is the Ring of Life.

As for the Black Knight's suggestion that he major in chivalry, Yeats thought about it and decided not to accept it.

After all, as a poet chosen by the goddess of art and youth, he would grow faster by following the 'bard's path'.

What’s more, it was the goddess of youth who came first!

Seeing Ye Zhi shaking his head, the Black Knight did not force him. He asked him to close his eyes and feel the soul realm. Then he spread out his palms, and a knight chess piece carved from a ruby ​​condensed in his palms.

The knight chess piece slowly floated to the top of Yeats's head, and in an instant, it shattered into ruby ​​fragments, and crystal light poured into Yeats' body.

Ye Zhi hissed and felt his skin burning hot. The burning sensation lasted for a moment, and a cool feeling surged from the depths of his soul.

Ye Zhi had experienced this feeling many times. When receiving the blessing from the gods, the panel would help him digest the tremendous extraordinary power.

"You are blessed by the Black Knight."

"You have been promoted to a Knight of the First Ring!"

"You have learned new spells and new combat techniques."

"You have acquired the following proficiency items: 'Experienced Riding' and 'Experienced Swordsmanship'."

Ye Zhi's mind suddenly became clear. He felt the new strength in his body. His eyes gleamed and he slowly exhaled.

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

Being promoted to a bard put him on the path to transcendence, and being promoted to a knight further enhanced his combat capabilities! A first-ring knight generally only possessed apprentice-level riding and swordsmanship, but with the blessing from the Black Knight, Ye Zhi's swordsmanship attainments were close to those of a second-ring knight.

The two newly learned spells are "Forced Duel" which Hilde often uses, and the other is the exclusive spell of the Black Knight, Analyze the Opponent.

"Analyze the opponent: a first-level spell. This spell helps the caster quickly analyze a single opponent and see the opponent's obvious weaknesses. Upgrade to a higher level: discover additional weaknesses."

"Unparalleled Swordswoman breaks four in one second, right?"

Ye Zhi complained in his heart.

Analyzing the opponent is undoubtedly a very useful spell in a duel. Using it in the game can increase the critical hit rate.

The key is that Ye Zhi can also tell his magical pets about the weaknesses he sees and command them to attack the opponent's weaknesses.

Another combat skill is the "Bronze Slash", which is quite common among the First Ring Knights.

Bronze Slash is a combat skill that almost every First Ring Knight can master. It is named because it coats the sword with a layer of bronze. In the future, it can be upgraded to Silver or Gold Slash.

Fokase has a Silver Slash move. Ye Zhi speculates that in his peak period, he could use the Diamond Slash of the Four-Ring Knight, but now he is restricted by the Ring of Life and can only use the Two-Ring Silver Slash.

After successfully being promoted to the Knight of the First Ring, Yeats expressed his sincere gratitude to the Black Knight.

"Next time you pray, just prepare a few more jokes." The Black Knight said calmly.

Got it, prepare a few more church-related jokes!

Yeats recalled the classic joke:

"How did they discredit the church? They just repeated what the church did..."

The sun sets in the west.

The Late Winter Festival is coming to an end.

The Black Knight's avatar disappears.

Yeats rode on Carrot who had stepped into the second ring, followed by three sled dogs, Alaska, Husky and Samoyed, and returned to the territory.

The trip was fruitful, as he tamed three sled dogs with the strength of a first-ring warrior, and was successfully promoted to a first-ring knight.

"The Winter Festival is over, and spring is about to arrive."

Ye Zhi looked up at the last ray of sunlight before falling into darkness, and thought:

"Once the cold wave is over, we will start the promotion to the second ring!"
