Chapter 199: Blessing of the Wild Hunt, release the arrows!

The lake is quiet and the forest is dark.

Cran held the white ball of light formed by the Dancing Light Technique in his palm. After confirming that the enemy had been eliminated, he was still surprised that Ye Zhi was promoted to the Three-Ring Knight during the battle.

Not only that, Ye Zhi also caused fatal injuries to the witch... Cran thought... It can be inferred that the hidden weapon hidden on Ye Zhi's body is definitely extraordinary!

Nash witnessed the whole process of the battle and secretly felt lucky that he was busy fishing last night and did not fall for the witch's trick!

"Thanks to you, Mr. Yeats." Nash praised from the bottom of his heart, "If you hadn't seen through the witch's true identity, the consequences would be disastrous!"

Yeats smiled.

It is not surprising that the lake goblin is a ghost in disguise, and the benefits of hunting ghosts are obvious.

Not only can you exchange the witch's head for gold coins or potions from the Adventurer's Guild.

He also achieved his previous plan and, with the help of the Wild Hunt divinity, was successfully promoted to the Three-Ring Knight!

When extraordinary people are promoted, they will always comprehend new talents, combat skills or spells.

Receiving a blessing is a very low probability event.

Moreover, the power of blessing is often greater than spells and combat skills of the same level.

Ye Zhi glanced at the panel and found that with this promotion, he once again obtained the blessing of the Wild Hunt.

"Thank you, King of the Wild Hunt!"

Yeats cast a short message at the King of the Wild Hunt.

I don’t know if He can hear me.

Ye Zhi waited for a while, and felt that the other person was at least at the Saint Realm level and had no time to pay attention to him.

Just as he was about to continue checking his harvest, he felt a short message coming from the magic network.

King of the Wild Hunt: "One."

Ye Zhi: “…”

He actually replied!

Ye Zhi coughed lightly, and without disturbing his fellow villager, he cast his gaze towards the bloated witch in the huge pit.

A witch always carries with her a talisman called "nightmare stone". With this talisman, she can cast a fourth-ring illusion called "nightmare magic".

However, the prerequisite for casting nightmare magic is that the target must first fall asleep. Therefore, "nightmare magic" is often cast in conjunction with "hypnosis".

Ye Zhi possesses the 'Eyes of a Thousand Illusions' bestowed by the God of Illusion, which allows him to perform two illusions at the same time.

This time, by killing the witch, I hope to have my first high-level spell!

A cold wind blew, and a few pale ghost lights swirled over the lake.

Several will-o'-the-wisp flames attacked Gray directly.

Gray quickly called Snowy Owl to come and help.

"There is a lot of resentment here. I wonder how many extraordinary people the witch has killed."

Clan frowned, "I'm afraid we'll have to ask an exorcist to come here to appease the resentful spirits here!"

"No need to bother."

The resentment that lingered on the lake for a long time had already turned into evil spirits, and Yeats had no psychological burden in collecting these resentful souls into the lantern.

"The soul-caller's lantern, a private seat, please!"

After saying this, Yeats shook the lantern.

An invisible gravitational force spread out from the lantern.

The wisps of ghost fire that were touched wanted to escape, but were eventually pulled into the lantern.

These resentful souls became fuel, making the blue flame in the center of the lantern even more vigorous! Clan and Nash showed surprise in their eyes.

However, it was seen that the will-o'-the-wisp fires that were hovering over the entire lake finally entered this lantern!

"Baron Yeats, can your lantern restrain the souls of the dead?" Cran asked in surprise.

It is almost a consensus among the extraordinary people that soul-like creatures are very troublesome.

Therefore, magic items that restrain souls are usually several times more expensive than other items of the same quality.

Yeats admitted it generously.

Although this lantern obtained from the wyvern's lair is of rare quality, it can be very effective in the current situation.

The ghosts lingering in Lake Demier can make the ghost lights summoned by the "Soul Caller's Lantern" even more powerful! "That's great." Nash said enviously, "If I had this lantern, I wouldn't be afraid of encountering ghosts when fishing at night!"

"It seems that you have encountered ghosts when you were fishing at night before?" Cran asked casually as he half-knelt down to examine the lake.

"Yes, I caught a dead body and a ghost came out of the body. He asked me to bury his body."

Nash scratched his head. “After I did what he asked, the ghost helped me catch a fish in the lake as a thank you gift, and then disappeared!”

Ye Zhi and Gray looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Thinking back to the icy lake in the Juling Mountains, Yeats had a similar experience to Nash!

Ye Zhi sighed in his heart: "Fisherman, he can really catch anything except fish..."

Under Yeats' instructions, Grey and Snowy Owl were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield. Adhering to the principle that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, they took away all the extraordinary materials that could be used.

"Gu!" The snowy owl flapped its wings and flew over, holding a dark purple rune in its claws.

The dark purple rune was engraved with pitch-black lines, which occasionally flashed a deep red light.

Ye Zhi's eyes lit up.

It is worthy of being my magical pet, with its own equipment pickup function!

"Nightmare Stone Amulet: A runestone that flashes nightmare-like black, red, and purple. It is made by drawing runes on obsidian. It can give extraordinary people the ability to invade dreams. Enchantment: Nightmare."

Some fairies are born with the ability to use nightmare magic, and they do it for mischief, so the nightmares they create do not really cause any harm.

"I feel like this amulet is very suitable for Teacher Snow Owl."

Ye Zhi pondered, "If the snow leopard dares to be lazy and sleep during training, I will use nightmare magic to teach it to be a cat!"

Putting the "Nightmare Stone Amulet" into the space bag, Ye Zhi concentrated his attention on dealing with the crab spider corpse in front of him.

The crab spider's body was covered with venom glands, and it lay on the ground with its eight legs facing the sky. It was quite creepy, and it made Grey's scalp tingle.

She swallowed hard, and couldn't help but flinch as she saw Yeats using his skilled collecting techniques to cut off the crab spider's legs one by one.

"Ye, Yezhi..." Gray called softly.

"Hmm?" Ye Zhi took the time to look back.

"Otherwise, let's just forget it..." Gray frowned and said, "Crab spiders don't look like something humans can eat!"

Ye Zhi raised his eyebrows. That being said, you are a dragonborn! Ignoring Grey, Ye Zhi thought to himself that as long as he cooked these ingredients tomorrow, Grey would naturally change her mind!

This involves a four-ring creature and is a serious matter. Clan has sent a text message to the Adventurer's Guild in London overnight, and someone will come to deal with the matter tomorrow morning.

Crane suggested returning the same way and staying at Nash's house for a night.

"It is an honor for me, Nash, that you are willing to rest in my home." Nash bowed and then glanced at the polluted Demier Lake, his tone becoming a little sad.

"Alas...I won't be able to come here to fish for a while!"

Gray complained in a low voice: "It feels like you grabbed a handful of bait and threw it into the river in front of your house, and the result is the same as if you came here to fish..."

Yeats smiled silently.

While returning to the lakeside cabin with everyone.

Start examining the new abilities you gain after becoming a Three-Ring Knight.

"Talent: Giant Killer: You gain an advantage when attacking large or larger creatures, allowing you to perform rapid combos in a short period of time and cause extra damage to the creature."

Yeats looked up at the sky.

In his mind, he saw himself leaping high into the air, spinning down, and his hidden blade slashing a series of bloody flowers on the giant's back.

This talent is not only useful for killing giants, but also for dealing with ancient dragons, behemoths and other large prey! "I feel like Wild Hunt means crazy hunting." Ye Zhi muttered, "The last time the beast tide... took away all my prey!"

"Combat Skill: Insight: You see through the enemy's attack route, evade or parry the attack, and greatly increase the power of your next attack."

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment.

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

See the blade, right? It's rated as playing with a katana!

Objectively speaking, seeing through is a very powerful fighting skill.

As long as the timing of release is right, Ye Zhi can perfectly resist even the sword skills of the High Ring Knight.

If you encounter an assassination attack in the future, you can see through it and use the "American Iai" gun-drawing technique.

Flintlock pistols are much more useful than rapiers! Yeats was originally a three-ring sword-dancing poet, and after being promoted to knight, his swordsmanship, archery, and horsemanship proficiency were all improved.

His proficiency in swordsmanship stops at the skilled level, which is still some distance away from the expert level comparable to the Four-Ring Knight, but he can already be called a master of swordsmanship!

Ye Zhi couldn't help but smile as he comprehended the sword skills that emerged in his mind.

Cutting vegetables will be easier now!

Yeats was particularly pleased with the last blessing of the Wild Hunt.

"Blessing: Ten Thousand Arrows: You shoot an arrow into the air with a ranged weapon or throw a non-magical throwing weapon, and specify a point within the casting range. Then, countless copies of the weapon will pour down, forming a rain of arrows, and disappear after completing the attack."

As a noble Brown family.

Yeats had already thought of what lines to shout when using this blessing.

This blessing can even be used in conjunction with the "Talent - Giant Killer" to give oneself an advantage when hunting giant beasts! "The Blue Fire Dragon Bow has its place now," Ye Zhi thought to himself, "With the Fire Dragon Arrow and Ten Thousand Arrows, I can fight against an entire mortal army without any injuries!"

Three rings can fight against a mortal army, but they are easy to get hurt. Four rings can fight against a city.

Like the witch who was just hunted, if we allow her to continue breeding spiders and hatching plagues here, the nearby towns will be poisoned.

Ye Zhi felt that the new abilities he gained after being promoted to Three-Ring Knight were even better than those he gained when he was promoted to Sword Dance Poet.

Yeats was itching to try out the "Blessing of Ten Thousand Arrows" at a shooting range.

"Halfway to Broken Mountain, there will surely be a place where the blessing can be used."

Ye Zhi thought to himself: "When the time comes, the arrow formation will go first to clear the obstacles!"

*The next day.

Sunlight shines on the villas on the shores of Lake Demeer.

A special person from the Adventurer's Guild arrived.

Through the window, Yeats saw a silver-haired old man with a scar on his face and a solemn expression. He was leaning on a cane and wearing a black deerskin cloak. He was standing in the garden and discussing the matter of the witch with Clan.

Yeats still had some impression of this old man with an elite weird look. His name was Anthony. He had worked as a demon hunter in his early years and also worked as a bounty hunter in the Kingdom of Sicily. It was said that he integrated the local hunter organization single-handedly and was a godfather-like figure.

Unexpectedly, this incident would actually alarm Anthony's arrival. Yeats wondered whether he should meet him, but then he gave up the idea.

Rather than chatting with him, it is more important to go to the kitchen and make breakfast for Gray! In the courtyard.

The old man's face was calm, and the years had left traces of frost on his face, but it could not take away his tough temperament. His silver hair was meticulously groomed, and he held a black hood in his hand. When he spoke, his eyes were always fixed on the other person, as if he wanted to force the other person to lower his head or look away.

"I already know about the matter of the witch," Anthony said calmly. "Unfortunately, there is no bounty for hunting witches in the guild, so you can't get any reward from the guild."

"I know." Clan, dressed in deer hunting clothes and smoking expensive tobacco shipped from the southern continent, lowered his head and pondered, "I just thought that you should be interested in this matter, or..."

The detective is reflected in the old man's deep eyes.

Crane smoked a cigarette with a knowing smile on his face: "Would you like to meet the Chosen One of Art?"

"Young people always have the urge to write poetry, but I haven't done it for a long time."

The old man folded his hands on his cane, looking solemn as if he was in a cemetery at any moment. He said calmly, "The guild will not reward you, but I will pay you three thousand gold coins in my personal name. I hope you will accept it."

Cran was shocked by the amount. He took a deep puff of tobacco and exhaled slowly. Through the hazy smoke, he looked into the old man's sharp eyes like a lion and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect you to be a philanthropist."

"It's just a little reward for justice."

The old man put the black hood on his head, covering his face.

"I publicized Yeats's deeds, Yeats received gold coins, and the world pursued justice... It was a good deal."

After saying that, the old man turned and left.

Crane looked at the old man's back, his eyes flickering, curious, and asked: "What do you mean by justice?"

The old man stood still, as if thinking seriously about this question, and finally said:

"The wind blows from east to west, from north to south, but the flagpole remains standing there... That is justice."

His back disappeared into the shade of the trees at the corner. Crane took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke, and sighed, "Too profound, Mr. Anthony... I'd better have breakfast first."

*In the kitchen.

Yeats took out the "French fries" that had been fried in the pan until golden and crispy, drained the oil, and placed them on the plate containing the fried spiders, smiling.

“It’s done!”

[Crab Spider Meat French Fries: 3 stars. The French fries are made from the spider meat from the crab spider's legs, chopped into small pieces, and mixed with flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Eating them can detoxify and permanently increase the power of poison spells (medium).]

[Fried small crab spiders: one star. Made from crab spider larvae, the venom glands are removed and fried. The taste is similar to chicken. Eating it will permanently increase your venom resistance (slightly)]

In Yeats' previous life, people in Yunnan would eat fried spiders, mainly flower spiders and jumping spiders.

The flower spider is also known as the big-bellied orb-shaped spider. It has a round belly, and after being fried, juice will gush out when you bite it.

Chicken flavor, crunchy! "Yeats, what's for breakfast!"

From outside the kitchen, Gray called excitedly.

Yeats held a plate and presented the fried crab spider with its claws bared to Grey:

"Here, eat this."

Gray looked down, her smile froze on her face, and her face turned pale.

Gray: ヽ(*。>Д<)o゜

Who wants to eat this kind of thing!
