Chapter 217: The end of the war, promotion to the fourth ring, inventory of gains! (two in one)

A ray of morning light appeared above the Brocken Mountain, and the sun gradually rose, piercing through the darkness.

Under the illumination of thousands of rays of light, the "True Vision Field" that enveloped the mountains like a barrier gradually melted like ice.

Ye Zhi was extremely exhausted. With the help of Gray and Hilde, he barely stood up and looked up at the sky. This holy war was coming to an end.

The Silver Oak Sword was once stained with the blood of the God of Light, and contained the "divinity of light" that could restrain Sariel. Under the sword light slashed by Yeats, Sariel's divine power was suppressed.

The balance between him and Lilith was also broken because of Yeats's external factor, and he fell into a situation of being unilaterally plundered!

Lilith floated in front of a colorful cloud with brilliant rays of light, and stretched out her hand to release a breeze of emerald light.

These breezes cut Sariel's body inch by inch like a file, and brought his divinity back to Lilith's body, which made the Lord of Lust's beautiful face reveal an even more charming smile.

'It's all thanks to that young man who helped me weaken Sariel!'

Lilith thought to herself and glanced at Ye Zhi on the top of the mountain. Looking at his face that looked even more handsome under the shining light of the Silver Oak Sword, she felt a strong desire to possess him, as if a cat's claws were scratching her heart.

"As long as I can make him my subordinate, then I can even use the Silver Oak Sword, right?"

"It's a pity that he knew Sariel's weakness and was recognized by the Silver Oak Sword. There must be a force behind him, or maybe he was a back-up plan by some god."

"Forming an alliance with Yeats is actually equivalent to cooperating with that unknown god." Lilith thought with some regret, "It will no longer be convenient to seduce him..."

For example, if Yeats was the lover of the goddess of moonlight or magic, then Lilith would not be willing to quarrel with higher powers for the sake of a human being.

But to be fair, Yeats was very much to her liking, both in terms of talent and appearance.

This feeling of being able to only watch but not eat made Lilith a little angry. She vented her anger on the apostle, and the wind blade cut the big eyeball-shaped angel into pieces! The corpse turned into purple spots on the way down, symbolizing the divinity of the "Dark Moon Authority". It was picked up by a breeze and flew back to Lilith's palm, turning into a dark purple moonlight gem.

The gem is crystal clear, exuding an evil and enchanting beauty.

Bang! Lilith crushed the gem into pieces, and a large amount of dark purple light poured into her body. The pleasure of the divine power filling her body made Lilith close her eyes and let out a low moan from her red lips.

"My Breeze Domain has long been damaged." Lilith opened her clear eyes, her heart filled with indescribable excitement, "But now there is hope that a new domain, the Dark Moon Domain, will be born!"

The combat effectiveness of a sanctuary without a domain would be reduced exponentially. Its importance was no less than one’s life and property!

And once the territory is breached, it will take decades or even hundreds of years to rebuild it.

At this moment, Lilith discovered that there was a chance for her to rebuild her domain. Even she, as the lord of lust, could not remain calm for a moment!

Lilith was so excited that she could hardly control herself. Her cheeks flushed and she cast a burning gaze at the silver-haired boy on the top of the mountain.

"Cooperation, I must cooperate with him next time!" Lilith licked her lips and thought expectantly:

'Maybe there will be a chance to have sex with the goddess in front of her eyes!'

On top of the mountain.

Hildreda frowned. The look of the evil god named Lilith made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Gray felt the same way, and took a step forward in tacit understanding with Hildreth.

The delicate atmosphere between the two was eliminated as they adopted a unified stance towards the outside world.

Ye Zhi thought he was going to enter the Shura Field, but he didn't expect that the situation was maintained because of Lilith. He couldn't help but sigh: Sure enough, the triangle is stable! Under the sky, the charming evil god with flowing red hair looked playful, smiled at Ye Zhi, and then flew with the wind, continuing to devour the remains of the evil eye apostle.

This was the third time that Ye Zhi had witnessed this kind of scene of devouring divinity: the first time was when the King of the Wild Hunt took Remiel away with the black mist, and the second time was when the Goddess of Mist absorbed the Prince of Shadows.

It can be imagined that Lilith's divine power will also receive a qualitative improvement like Daisy's.

Sariel will follow in Remiel's footsteps and become the second apostle to die in the material realm.

The Kingdom of God will certainly not remain indifferent to the death of the Apostles, and will continue to track down the humans who disobeyed the Apostles. Ye Zhi remembered that there were several Apostles who could not even defeat the King of the Wild Hunt. Against them, even if they mobilized people to fight in a group battle, they would have no chance of winning.

Fortunately, I got the Silver Oak Sword this time.

The Sword of Mistletoe has the ability of "inconspicuousness", which can remove the curse on Yeats and allow Yeats to avoid the tracking of the apostles.

And this blessing comes from a legend: According to legend, the gods once made all creatures in the world swear not to harm the God of Light, except for a mistletoe tree that secretly grew on the edge of the kingdom of God, which was ignored by the gods because of its inconspicuousness.

It was this neglected mistletoe that was finally forged into the Silver Mistletoe Sword, becoming the weapon used by the God of Darkness to kill the God of Light, and ultimately leading the world to Ragnarok.

"With the help of the Silver Oak Sword, I can get precious time to grow." Ye Zhi felt as if a huge rock had fallen from his heart, and sighed, "It's time to return to the territory and spend a comfortable month or two."

Having said that, Yeats actually had many new confusions because of this Walpurgis Night.

For example, in the battle with Pedro, Kaelya, an undead creature, was not hurt by the holy light, and even absorbed the holy fire instead.

Thinking of the past where the great Duke Hadro was determined to summon Kelya at all costs, Ye Zhi couldn't help but feel a little curious about Kelya's background.

If you ask her directly, you won't get anything out of her. Ye Zhi had asked her specifically before, but Kylia was no longer alive, so of course she couldn't remember the past.

However, Lishi, the necromancer with a naturally unlucky physique, has presided over the summoning ceremony of Kaelya. He may have some clues about Kaelya's special abilities.

In addition, what exactly did Gray experience in the trial that would appear in the trial content of the last level?

Why did the King of the Wild Hunt send the text message in such a hurry and seemed to be not involved in the battle at all?

Why do the angels that the church believes in look more like evil gods than evil gods...

Yeats was eager to know the answers to all of this.

Fortunately, the biggest crisis has been resolved.

The night in Walpurgis went perfectly. Yeats secretly checked his gains and was shocked by his spoils.

Prepare to wait until the mess is cleaned up, find an absolutely safe place, and then share the information and take stock of the gains with Gray and Hilde.

At this moment, Zuanya's serious voice sounded in Ye Zhi's ears.

"I've made up my mind, Yeats."

"What's been decided?"

"I decided to eat and drink for free at your house and spend the winter there first!" Zuanya said proudly.

Seeing the little squirrel talking about eating and drinking for free so confidently, Ye Zhi smiled dumbly and said, "It's up to you. Just remember to protect me when something big happens!"

The fighting ability of Zuanya remains a mystery, but his ability to conceal his identity is first-rate. Without its help, when he disguised himself as a white-haired old man, he would have been exposed in front of Cersei.

Using delicious food to exchange for the squirrel on the World Tree is a great deal for Ye Zhi! Zuanya smiled and said, "As for food, anything is fine. As long as it's made by you, I'm not picky! The key is to see interesting scenes - more sanctuary-level battles like this would be great!"

Ye Zhi was in a complicated mood. I think you are just waiting for me to die!

"Since you have obtained the legendary Silver Oak Sword, you should also take a long-term view, Ye Zhi."

Zuanya said in a condescending manner: "Let's set a small goal first, and then we'll see about the world-destroying battle later. We will strive to become a holy domain as soon as possible and join the war of gods!"

Yeats: "…I'll borrow your good words!"

"The Holy Land... I don't know when that will happen."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "Just to advance from a low ring to a high ring, an ordinary person would have to put in decades of effort, and the Holy Land has not been created for nearly a hundred years!"

Even Candela didn't mention breaking through the Holy Domain. For Ye Zhi, a four-ring transcendent, to covet the Holy Domain was nothing less than a foolish dream.

Of course, Ye Zhi’s current promotion speed is nothing short of astonishing.

In just half a year after becoming extraordinary, he had already caught up with years or even decades of hard work by others.

But the crises he encountered were unimaginable to others. Whether it was the night of the lunar eclipse, the realm of souls, or the trial of the magic goddess, they were all life-threatening tests for ordinary people.

Ye Zhi also relied on making deals with various big guys, and with the blessing of the luck of Gray and Hilde, the two destined protagonists of the original work, he was able to get through each time by luck.

This time, after passing the trial that was said to have defeated even Emperor Lorraine.

Ye Zhi's soul power had an astonishing breakthrough, breaking through the bottleneck between the low ring and the high ring in one fell swoop, and officially achieving the fourth ring!

It is not uncommon for someone to achieve high level from zero level in such a short period of time. Once they are born, they will be the ones who stir up the empire.

Such a genius, even if he was born into a common family, would be quickly accepted and absorbed by the upper class, at least be granted the title of earl, and soon hold a high position in the empire.

You know, Yeats's brother, who served in the Royal Navy and was always regarded as a genius, was stuck at the threshold of the high level for many years and could not break through.

Yeats Brown has always been regarded as a dead wood in the family. If the news of him entering the fourth ring spreads, it will cause a greater shock to the kingdom than if he became the Chosen One of God!

Due to a variety of factors such as lack of self-protection ability and being coveted by others, there are always many low-level Chosen Ones who die halfway.

Once the two elements of God's Choice and High Ring are combined, a qualitative change will occur, which means that he has already risen, and his future growth path will most likely be smooth! "Duke Thomas of the Northern Province has such a powerful momentum, but in the end he is only a four-ring knight."

Ye Zhi was eager to try, thinking: "When my three major professional paths all break through the fourth ring, relying on the concurrent cultivation of three professions and three magical pets, it will not be a problem to fight three Thomases!"

The greater reliance comes from the legendary weapon in his hand.

Ye Zhi looked at the Silver Oak Sword, his eyes flashing slightly.

This is a slender sword with an elegant shape and a cold glow. It is silver all over, with runes on the slender blade and a green vine-shaped guard. The hilt is a deep ebony color and is decorated with crystal diamonds at the end.

Compared with the giant sword in the tree 'Gramme', the Silver Oak Sword focuses more on speed, is more suitable for duels, and is suitable for throwing.

He was still far from being able to unleash the true power of this weapon, and he was still a long way from calling upon its true name [Misttin] to unleash powerful combat skills.

But Ye Zhi just happened to lack a suitable weapon, and this Silver Oak Sword could replace the Spirit Shield Blade that was cut off in the battle.

"Zhuanya, do you know the spell 'Weapon Transfiguration'?" Ye Zhi asked.

Walking with the Silver Oak Sword is still too conspicuous and it is hard to avoid being recognized. "Illusion·Weapon Transformation" can be used to change the appearance of the weapon.

Zuanya was an expert in illusion. He jumped onto Ye Zhi's shoulder, looked at the Silver Oak Sword, and asked curiously, "What do you want to transform into?"

Ye Zhi described the appearance of the Spirit Shield Blade and asked Zuanya to help transform it.

Soon, the Silver Oak Sword disguised itself into an appearance that was almost identical to the Spirit Shield Blade.

Ye Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and then tried to take the Silver Oak Sword back into his soul realm.

This sword was pulled out from Gray's heart, but Ye Zhi passed the trial and became the holder of the Silver Oak Sword, so there was no need to perform the second round of "Drawing the Sword from the Sister". She could directly summon the Silver Oak Sword in the future.

The Silver Oak Sword responded to Ye Zhi's magic power, shrinking into a ball of white light and floating into his body.

Yeats looked inward into the realm of his soul and saw an inconspicuous branch of mistletoe growing on the Tree of Life.

This outsider was soon surrounded by the strong gazes of many divinities including the Wild Hunt, Moonlight, and Shadow.

Black fog, moonlight, shadows, auroras... the colorful divinity surrounded the mistletoe branches, with some ill intentions, as if as long as Yeats gave the order, they would eat this outsider.

Ye Zhi hurriedly dispersed these guarding divinities. It would be ridiculous if the Silver Oak Sword was destroyed because of the chaos of divinity in its body.

Mistletoe: “…”

Is this host so complex? He is simply a public ferry, full of passengers! Mistletoe seemed to doubt itself, completely restrained its breath, and fell into autism.

It has just arrived, and it will slowly understand things in the future... Ye Zhi thought to himself... In the future, there will be more guests in this soul realm!

Yeats's consciousness exited the soul realm.

"Ye Zhi, are you okay?" Gray was worried when she saw Ye Zhi closed his eyes for a long time.

"That sword... looks like it came at a great cost." Hildur said with a frown.

Facing the concerned looks from Gray and Hildreth, Ye Zhi shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

"Like your sword in the tree, Hilde, the Silver Oak Sword is a legendary weapon that will drain the user's soul power." Ye Zhi smiled, "But fortunately, there is still some divinity left in it, so I can barely withstand it."

Hildre's eyes flickered, she folded her arms and nodded slightly.

"Gray..." Ye Zhi turned around, remembering that he had just pulled out the Silver Oak Sword from Gray's heart, and said hesitantly, "Your heart..."

"It's okay." Gray smiled brightly, patted her chest, and said, "The King of the Wild Hunt gave me the Heart of the Dragon. I'm in very good shape now!"

Heart of the Dragon?

Ye Zhi was surprised.

He knew this item. It was the key to strengthening the Dragonborn Grey in the game, which was equivalent to the breakthrough material provided when you drew a duplicate character in a krypton gold mobile game! No wonder he felt the breath of the fourth ring from Grey.

After the spring event, not only did Hildreth break through her limits, but Gray also received a version enhancement!

But Ye Zhi still had many questions: "You met the King of the Wild Hunt? Why did he give you the Heart of the Dragon?"

The heart of the dragon is very precious, it contains the soul power of the dragon race, which can be easily absorbed by Gray, who is a dragon. And using it to make a staff can make a top-level magic weapon on the continent, and its value cannot be simply described by gold coins.

"I met him in the trial." Gray scratched her head, "He said this was a gift for me..."

Ye Zhi: “…”

This is "Pattern"! Yeats wanted to continue asking questions, but a breeze brought a pleasant fragrance, and a beautiful figure wearing red dancing shoes slowly descended from the sky.

Lilith glanced at Gray and Hildreth who were on guard, chuckled, looked at Ye Zhi, and said:

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

"I have fulfilled my promise and helped you defeat the apostle, little one."

Ye Zhi looked up at the sky. The area covering the mountains had completely disappeared, and the apostle's breath dissipated with it.

Although the rainbow bridge did not descend, the aura of Lilith was obviously stronger than before.

"I never thought that you would be recognized by the Silver Oak Sword." Lilith's beautiful eyes were shining with a fascinating glimmer. "If there is a chance, I really want to talk to you alone..."

"It was just luck." Ye Zhi said casually, and then said, "You should have gained a lot by defeating the apostle, right?"

Lilith covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, not trying to hide her happy mood. She had gained a lot from this trip, and she made a fortune! All this was thanks to the information provided by Ye Zhi and that crucial sword.

Lilith had never expected that the "alliance" with humans would bring such rich benefits. She twirled her red hair with her fingertips and said seductively, "How do you want me to thank you?"

"Just remember the covenant between us."

Ye Zhi said: "Maybe there will be opportunities for continued cooperation in the future."

Lilith snorted noncommittally, and a dark purple moonstone condensed in her palm and handed it to Ye Zhi.

"This is my token, the Dark Moon Stone. Use it to call upon me on a moonless night, and I may respond and come."

"Or..." Lilith narrowed her eyes and said softly, "Compared to this token, you want my sister's dancing shoes more?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

Is this in accordance with porridge etiquette?

Ye Zhi took the Dark Moon Stone and said politely, "Have a meal before you leave."

"Eat?" Lilith was startled, then smiled and said, "When you come to hell, you will have a chance."

Ye Zhi: “…”

Now I’m not afraid of going to hell anymore, because I have acquaintances even in that kind of ghost place!

Lilith looked at Yeats again, and then her figure gradually melted away in the sunlight, and the divinity of this place drifted away.

"That evil god has evil intentions towards you, Yeats," Gray whispered.

"How do you know?"

"Dragonborn's intuition!"

"Do you have any companions here, Yeats?" asked Hilde.

Ye Zhi nodded: "Now, let's go and meet up with them."

*Yezhi, Gray, and Hilde are all high-level extraordinary beings and have mastered the ability to fly.

On the way to another mountain, Yeats learned about the trial process from Grey and was surprised.

"The illusion of the first level is Valhalla."

Gray recounted the incident, "There, the Red Devil showed me the gigantic divine pig, the divine chicken that laid golden eggs, the divine sheep that produced honey wine... Oh, and the divine chef Ander, the god of food that the Black Knight mentioned!"

"The God of Food?" Ye Zhi was surprised. "What does he look like?"

"It looks like a catfish." Gray said in a complicated tone, "The Red Devil said that Ander has a divine tongue, and he can even pull out his tongue to play like a piano!"

Yeats looked strange.

What a fucking divine tongue! Erina feels really bad.

Catfish monster... Five-star chef Tam, right? The God of Food is actually a catfish, which is beyond Ye Zhi's expectation.

"Then how did you get through?"

Gray smiled proudly and said, "I said, the dishes made by the God Chef are not as delicious as yours, so the devil let me pass!"

Ye Zhi was startled, and laughed in silence. He felt warm in his heart and asked, "What about the second level?"

"The scene of the second level is the Colosseum..." Gray explained the scene of the naval battle. "The Red Devil also mentioned an ancient empire queen named the Silver Dragon Queen..."

Listening to the description, Yeats fell into deep thought.

It's probably no coincidence that Grey looks similar to the Silver Dragon Queen.

And it is possible that the queen is also a dragon descendant, and therefore she has the ability to control dragons.

"The Queen once fell in love with the Emperor of a distant empire, which would have led to the union of two huge empires. However, God was afraid that the incident at the Tower of Babel would happen again, so he was furious..."

Yeats thought to himself, "Isn't this the story of Lorraine?"

"Could it be that after Lorraine's death, he transformed into the King of the Wild Hunt and embarked on a path of revenge?"

Yeats felt that he had guessed it almost right and was amazed.

Wow, it feels like the King of the Wild Hunt is only the second round! But how did Lorraine get Gungnir and become the King of the Wild Hunt? Ye Zhi still couldn't figure it out. He thought that Grey was not very interested in power, so it was normal for her to pass the second round. He asked, "What about the third round? What is the content?"

As for the third level, Gray hesitated and was unwilling to speak directly.

Ye Zhi did not delve into it further, but instead thought about the real world he saw in the third level.

Deep down in his heart, Yeats really longed to return to reality.

But that was in the past.

Because of many important people and things, Yeats had reasons to stay.

"When there's a chance, I'll go to Dragon Country with you again."

Ye Zhi looked at Gray and said with a smile: "Haven't you always wanted to know your own life experience? Now that you are stronger, ask your elders, they may be willing to reveal some clues."

Gray's eyes flickered, her ponytail fluttering in the wind, and she nodded vigorously:

"It's a deal!"

On the other side, Hildreth looked at Gray who was talking happily with Yeats, lowered her head in thought, and then fell silent.

She also wanted to tell Yeats about the trials she encountered in the ancient tree of Asgard.

The pain of constant resurrection and death gave Hildes rich experience in enduring pain and loneliness.

Her love was silent, as if it disappeared beside Yeats.

Seeing that Hildreth remained silent for a long time, Ye Zhi glanced sideways, and her eyes happened to meet hers.

Hildreth smiled, and the beauty of that smile made Yeats' heart tremble slightly.

This is the sharp blade in my hand. The moment it is unsheathed, everything will be eclipsed by the cold light.

Ye Zhi thought that the purpose of the scabbard was to protect the sword.

*The sun has risen.

Yeats met up with Kendela and his group on a devastated hill with fallen trees and cracked ground.

"Ye Zhi..." The white-robed wizard's eyes flickered, and he had too many questions in his heart.

The dazzling sword light that slashed towards the Evil Eye Apostle still left an indelible and shocking impression on Kendela.

If it weren't for Yeats, this disaster would have ended in tragedy, and even Circe would have been lost in front of him! Circe whispered: "The students you accept are much more useful than those I accept."

Kendra's eyes sparkled and he smiled, "I'm so happy that you have the energy to say this."

Cersei was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Sometimes, I really don't know whether you are stupid or smart..."

"I am a dull person. The only thing I am commendable about is that I will keep doing what I have decided to do."

Kendra paused, his eyes flashing with seriousness, and said, "You are the one I have chosen, Circe."

The witch high priestess was stunned for a long time, looked away, and said: "I will go and stay with Ge Liqin for a while, you can talk to your students slowly."

This shy scene happened to fall into Yeats's eyes, and he felt deeply moved.

I enjoy eating old dog food very much!

"Teacher." Ye Zhi called back Kendra's attention and said with a smile, "I would say yes. These are all the guidance of the Magic Goddess. Do you believe it?"

"I believe it." Kendra said seriously, "Because I was also in a desperate situation, and under the guidance of the Goddess of Magic, I became a guardian."

What's more, Ye Zhi was the chosen one of the magic gods. Kendra thought that he could only get the legendary Silver Oak Sword with the help of the goddess of wisdom and magic. This was a possibility! Ye Zhi was stunned and shook his head, saying, "I'll explain it to you in detail when I have a chance... Teacher, what I want to ask is, if the Chief Judge lets the Evil Eye Apostle descend into the material world, what will be the reaction of the Mage Guild?"

Candela's face was solemn, and he said in a cold voice: "Pedro killed innocent people, and he deserved it. But from what I know about the church, they will not admit this action, and will put all the blame on Pedro."

"The conflict between the church and the Mage Guild has lasted for nearly a thousand years, and has intensified recently, with the potential for war to break out." Candela said seriously, "All I can do is grasp the inspiration I got from this war and strive to enter the Holy Land as soon as possible!"

Ye Zhi was slightly surprised.

After all, Candela has the heritage of a Watcher and does have the foundation and qualifications to enter the Holy Land. If he can truly become a Holy Land, he will surely lead the arrival of a whole new generation.

If the Mages Guild really started a war with the Church, it would inevitably lead to a continent-wide melee due to faith, which would be quite similar to the "Thirty Years' War", the first pan-European melee in previous history.

The gods will certainly take advantage of this chaos to select their chosen ones or even come down in person.

"The troubled times are approaching, the curse has been lifted, let's go back to Dawnfrost Ridge and expand the territory into an earldom."

Yeats thought to himself, "The greater the influence of the territory, the more it can promote the idea of ​​natural human rights and effectively oppose the church's claims!"

Theory cannot be separated from productivity.

The doctrine of natural human rights of the previous Enlightenment, that is, people have the innate rights to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and property, is very consistent with the current version.

After all, even in a world where gods exist, human beings' pursuit of concepts such as survival, freedom, and happiness has never stopped.

After this battle, he not only became a high-level extraordinary person, but also had the Silver Oak Sword at his disposal. It was a huge gain.

Grey even received a gift from the King of the Wild Hunt and was greatly enhanced in this version.

It was unknown when Hildreth would return to the North, but Ye Zhi still planned to keep her and let her stay in Morning Frost Ridge for a while.

Ye Zhi was full of longing and thought to himself, "It's time for this baron title to become earl!"
