Chapter 227 A Midsummer Night's Dream, Wedding in the Dream
A ball of white light appeared before his eyes. Yeats groped his way towards the white light and vaguely heard a wedding march.
At the end of the white light, there is a carpet-like green grass and flowers surrounding a gorgeous statue of the god of love.
The god of love is carved vividly, with a wreath on his head, long wavy hair, an open-necked long dress, a smile on his lips, and eyes like an affectionate girl.
"You have entered the divine realm of the God of Love!"
This line of small words appeared before my eyes.
Yeats was a little surprised.
However, Midsummer Eve is the holy day of the year when the divinity of the god of love is most active.
In addition, he had just been blessed by the god of love, and there were signs that she was paying attention to him.
"This area is not hostile. It should be similar to Minerva's trial area, which belongs to the "test" type."
In this unfamiliar environment, Ye Zhi had calmed down, looked around, and analyzed secretly:
"I just don't know what the test from the God of Love is."
As far as the eye can see, the statue of the god of love next to the fig tree seems to blink its passionate and charming eyes.
Yeats opened his eyes wide, and saw that the statue had really come alive! This was an extremely beautiful blonde woman, with long wavy golden hair shining with the brilliance of wheat ears, wearing a fresh and elegant straw wreath, and a long open-necked white dress that trailed on the ground, highlighting her slender figure.
Her skin was as smooth as silk, her eyes shone with a pearly glow, and she smiled at Yeats, revealing her snow-white teeth.
"I recognize you, the beautiful boy who presented me with beautiful music. I like you very much."
There was gentle love in her eyes without any lust, and her voice was like the breeze on a summer night, relaxing both the body and the mind.
Ye Zhi was slightly stunned. This was obviously the incarnation of the god of love.
As a goddess of love with high divine power, on her holy day, she can send down an incarnation like the goddess of darkness.
But what was her purpose in appearing here? Where did Gray and Hildreth go?
Doubts linger in my mind, but etiquette is still indispensable.
This was not the first time Ye Zhi had dealt with gods. He placed his hand lightly on his chest and lowered his head, saying:
"Beautiful God of Love, it is my honor to dedicate music to you on your holy day."
"It's called A Midsummer Night's Dream, isn't it?"
"Yes, Lord Eros."
"Art and beauty are always inseparable. That song is beautiful, and you who created it are also very beautiful." The god of love said with a smile.
With the addition of various buffs, Ye Zhi’s charm value is almost maxed out.
The god of love is never stingy in expressing his love and he happily praises Yeats.
Yeats couldn't figure out what the god of love was thinking for a moment, so he lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Fortunately, this is not the world of Greek mythology... Yeats thought to himself... otherwise the beautiful boy would easily be targeted by Zeus! "To thank you, I will also give you a gift on this Midsummer night." The god of love finally stated his intention.
Ye Zhi raised his head and asked in surprise: "But I have already received the blessing?"
"Blessing is the manifestation of love, not the essence of love. True love is the fusion of the souls between partners—"
The sun would be eclipsed by the brilliant golden hair of the god of love. She covered her lips with her slender white hands, revealing an incomparably beautiful smile, and said, "So, I want to give you a wedding in your dreams!"
The music of the wedding march became more solemn, and the fragrance of rose petals wafted in the air.
On the left and right sides of the altar of the god of love, two beautiful figures slowly walked out of the morning mist.
On the left side of the altar, red-haired Hildreth wore a veil and a silk black wedding dress that revealed her snow-white one-shoulder design. The floor-length fishtail skirt was embroidered with gold and silver threads, which looked restrained yet luxurious.
In her hand she held a bunch of bright red roses, more beautiful than priceless rubies, but still no match for her charming face.
Hildre's injured eyes were tightly closed, her eyelids drooped, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her face beneath the veil was flushed brightly.
Ye Zhi could hear her nervous breathing and heartbeat, and even her snow-white neck and shoulders were faintly flushed.
Ye Zhi was stunned, his heart beating very fast. He never thought that after taking off her armor and putting on her wedding dress, Hildreth would be so adorable.
"I didn't choose this wedding dress, it was their idea."
The god of love stood behind Yeats and smiled softly: "The meaning of the black wedding dress is loyal love, which lasts until death... It's beautiful, isn't it?"
Yeats nodded stiffly.
"Don't stand there like an idiot. You already have a bride." The god of love smiled and patted Ye Zhi's shoulder, making him turn his head and look to the other side.
On the left side of the altar, brown-haired Grey wore a straw crown and a spotless white wedding dress, looking like a princess in a fairy tale. The cuffs and hem of her dress were decorated with dreamy white lace, and the fluffy hem reached the ground.
In her hand was a bunch of golden sunflowers, bright, warm and full of vitality, and even Gray's face had a childish smile.
She had obviously been looking forward to this day for a long time. Her bright smile broke into Yeats's chest like a little deer. Compared with her usual cheerfulness, that smile was a little shy and timid.
Ye Zhi also laughed. He actually knew that Gray had kissed him secretly during the trial that day, but he just played dumb and didn't tell her.
Gray seemed to know that the truly important things could not be understood with words or eyes, and could only be communicated with the heart.
"The meaning of a white wedding dress is purity, beauty, innocence... Hey, you are all stunned." The god of love laughed.
Through the morning mist, dew soaked the green grass. Gray and Hildreth stood on both sides of the altar, holding bouquets of flowers.
I don't know why.
A very terrible guess suddenly arose in Ye Zhi's heart.
He felt his voice become hoarse, turned his head to look at the God of Love, and said: "So, what is the content of the trial..."
The god of love suddenly became very serious, nodded, and said:
"You can only choose one of them."
"Why?"
"Why? Because love is sacred and does not allow third parties to interfere, and I am the god of love. What do you think?" The god of love asked with a smile.
"But..." Ye Zhi still wanted to argue. This is a fantasy world. Why can I only choose one?
The god of love's face suddenly darkened, and he urged:
"Okay, make your choice quickly, the wedding is still going to go on."
"I don't understand."
Ye Zhi looked around at Gray and Hilary. They were still smiling, but their expressions were very lost.
This made Ye Zhi's heart tighten, and he protested to the God of Love: "Do I have to participate in this trial?"
"Isn't love unreasonable?" The God of Love still smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Do you think I am reasonable?"
Yeats looked as if he had seen the true face of the god of love for the first time, and his expression became very strange.
She was right. Love has no logic, no reason, and no reason! Ye Zhi looked around at Gray and Hilde, who lowered their eyes and had sad expressions. A huge sense of loss enveloped him. He gritted his teeth and said, "If I choose one of them, what will happen to the other one?"
"It will fall down." said the god of love lightly.
"Fall down?" Ye Zhi was stunned.
Is this some kind of variety show? If one is chosen, the other is eliminated, and then they fall off the floor? "Falling won't hurt, but it will disappoint the soul." The god of love said something mysterious, "Instead of disappointing three people together, it's better to let one person suffer the bitter fruit alone, what do you think?"
The god of love looked at Yeats with a smile.
Yeats, however, felt that this beautiful goddess was somewhat hideous.
"What if I choose both?" Ye Zhi said in a deep voice.
"Then they will both fall together." The god of love smiled, "and you will be left alone in the end."
Ye Zhi frowned and tried to call upon the soul realm in his body, but found that most of the divinity in this divine realm was ineffective.
The only thing left to use is: mistletoe.
Ye Zhi's heart was shaken.
I still have to rely on you at the critical moment!
"Don't waste your energy." The god of love seemed to have seen through Ye Zhi's attempt, "You should make your choice as soon as possible."
Ye Zhi was silent for a long time and looked at Gray and Xilude.
If I were Gray and Hilde, would I be willing for Yeats to give up another companion for me?
They wouldn't do that.
Ye Zhi knew Xilude very well. She would rather be a shield for her companions and be the one who got hurt.
Yeats knew Grey very well. She was so kind that she seemed like someone from a fairy tale and she cherished her companions, friends and family.
Yeats knew that love is selfish, but family affection can be shared.
Yeats loves Gray and Hilde and doesn't want to miss either of them. They will also believe in him and approve of the decisions he makes.
Looking at the two girls in black and white wedding dresses and with different styles, Ye Zhi nodded deeply.
There was clearly no verbal communication.
But they seemed to hear what Yeats said with their hearts.
Then, Gray and Hildreth also nodded slightly with their eyes flickering.
Immediately.
Ye Zhi looked at the god of love and said slowly:
“There are millions of roses and sunflowers in the world. To me, they are no different.”
"But the time I put into each of these roses and sunflowers makes them extra precious."
"They are unique to me, and I am unique to them."
"So?" The God of Love looked deep.
"so."
Ye Zhi paused for a moment and stretched out his hand.
"Only children make choices—"
Ye Zhi clenched his five fingers and said in a deep voice:
"I want them all!"
The god of love suddenly laughed, a laugh so beautiful that the flowers and plants shook, a laugh so stunning that it could overturn a whole country.
Snap! She snapped her fingers.
A huge chasm opened up between Ye Zhi, Gray, and Hilde, and a bottomless abyss stretched before Ye Zhi's eyes! Boom! !
The ground beneath Gray and Hildreth's feet collapsed, and they fell into the abyss at the same time! Ye Zhi was stunned and glared at the god of love.
The God of Love said calmly: "I told you that if you do this, they will all fall down."
"Don't let go this time!" Ye Zhi suddenly yelled.
"What did you say?" The God of Love was stunned.
Ye Zhi had no time to answer and jumped into the abyss. The feeling of weightlessness and fear of falling made his whole body stiff, and the wind cut across his cheeks like a knife.
Clang! The mistletoe breaks free from the constraints of the divine realm.
Ye Zhi's soul realm can be used again! The God of Love was slightly stunned, looking at the bright light blooming from Ye Zhi's body in the deep valley, as if he had found something, with a look of shock in his eyes.
"Silver Oak Sword?!"
The invisible wings of the god of poetry spread out behind Yeats, flying rapidly towards the bottomless depths.
His eyes couldn't see where Gray and Hildreth were, but he could hear their heartbeats by feel.
Snap! Snap! Wild Hunt Blessing: Wild Hunt Lock!
Ye Zhi's left and right palms shot out two iron chains, which shot towards the bottom of the valley like lightning.
The iron chain is cold, but like a lover's hand, once it is wrapped around you, it will lock tightly and will not let go.
Chains are heartless, but aren’t people kind?
Ye Zhi felt the touch of the chain and exclaimed in surprise: "Got it!"
Snap! Snap! Yeats used all his strength to bring the two chains back to his side.
Gray and Hildreth threw themselves into his arms like fledgling swallows returning to the forest.
"Yeats!" they both said in unison.
Ye Zhi hugged the two of them, his heart almost jumping out of his chest, and said with a red face:
"I don't know how to put it, anyway——"
"You are all my wings!!"
Gray and Hildreth's cheeks flushed as they looked at Yeats without noticing, then they made eye contact with each other and smiled sweetly.
Beside the deep valley, the god of love looked at him with a strange look in his eyes and laughed:
"This year's Midsummer Eve was a good show."
"However, the Silver Oak Sword is in the possession of this human." The God of Love whispered to himself, "This is a sword that can kill divinity. No god will not be afraid of it. Those people will not let him go."
"Fortunately, he has not yet entered the Holy Land, and his aura is still within the range where it can be hidden." The God of Love shook his head and said dumbly, "However, his two lovers also have destiny, which makes me look forward to the story of the three of them."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"This time, let's bless all three of them together!"
Snap! The god of love snapped his fingers.
The divine realm dissipates.
The moonlight is like water and the evening breeze is cool.
In the pavilion in the back garden, Yeats opened his eyes, felt the soft jade in his arms, and looked down.
Gray and Hildreth leaned on his left and right arms, breathing evenly, eyes closed, and relaxed smiles on their faces.
Ye Zhi recalled the scene in the trial just now, his expression changed slightly, and he looked up at the sky.
The God of Love...is not that unkind actually.
"You have received the blessing from the God of Love!"
"Blessing: Telepathy: This blessing is held by Yezhi, Gray, and Hilde. No matter how far away you are, you can communicate with each other telepathically, and your cooperation will be more tacit. The power of your combined attack will be multiplied."
Ye Zhi's heart was shocked.
The power of combined attacks is multiplied? This is our exciting combo skill!
The two people in his arms trembled slightly. Ye Zhi lowered his head and his eyes met theirs.
Gray and Hildreth raised their cheeks at the same time.
Hildre's eyes were as gentle as water, like a river after the iceberg melted.
There was hope in Gray's eyes, like a river flowing through a sea of sunflowers.
Their breathing was slightly quickened, and the fragrance wafted in the air, and Yeats felt a palpitation in his heart.
The moonlight was bright and the night was silent except for the sound of the wind. Ye Zhi wished she could hold him like this forever.
However, Gray and Hildreth quickly broke free from Yeats' arms.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Ye Zhi coughed twice, looked at the two people with blushing cheeks, and said, "Your wedding dresses are both very beautiful!"
The blush on their faces became more and more obvious.
Apparently, they experienced a dream wedding with Yeats.
Yeats had no idea what kind of struggles they had gone through in their dreams, but judging from the expressions on their faces, it seemed that their thoughts had become more resolute, just like his.
Hildre's eyes flickered, and he said, "Ye Zhi, I have something to tell you!"
"Me, too!" Gray said quickly.
Ye Zhi said: "I also have something to say to both of you...but, you two should speak first."
"Then, shall we say it together?" Hildreth looked at Gray.
Gray nodded slightly.
The night is very quiet, the breeze is gentle, and the moonlight makes the night look as beautiful as a painting.
After a moment's thought, Ye Zhi heard Gray and Hilde say in unison: "Ye Zhi, I like you!"
Ye Zhi's brain buzzed and he could only hear his own heartbeat.
Isn't the script that I confess to both of you at the same time? What are you two doing? However.
The mist divinity in his body grew rapidly at this moment! Ye Zhi seemed to hear the joyful laughter of the mist goddess.
"The results are a little off, but you've passed, Yeats!"
A pleasant reminder sound came to his ears, and Ye Zhi felt mixed emotions, as if he had a sweet burden.
"You have completed the Tricker's ascension ritual!"
"You have become a fourth-ring trickster!"
Hildreth's eyes were burning: "What's your answer?"
Grey nodded like a chick pecking at rice and stared at Yeats closely.
Ye Zhi touched the tip of his nose and said, "Well, what I mean is... Anyway, the three of us are spending the night together, no, celebrating the festival!"
The sound of fighting drifted in the evening breeze. Zuanya sat on the treetop, rubbed his eyes, and exclaimed: "How did Ye Zhi pass the test in the blink of an eye?"
"well……"
The little squirrel looked up at the bright moon and sighed:
"It's a pity that I didn't see the three of them fighting!"
boring.
Zuanya thought.
Next time I want to see a river of blood! It's late at night.
Yeats lay on the bed, looking at the dark ceiling, with a smile still on his lips.
"Yeats, are you asleep?" Gray's inner voice whispered.
Gray and Hildreth also received the "Blessing of Telepathy", which allows the three of them to have "encrypted calls" anytime and anywhere.
"Not yet, what about you?"
"I can't sleep either." Gray paused for a moment and said, "I have something to tell you."
"What?"
"That's right, the contract we signed is about to expire." Gray whispered, "I want to continue to stay by your side, so..."
"I want you to stay with me, too." Ye Zhi said with a smile, "So, no matter how long you want to stay, it's no problem!"
Gray stopped talking. Ye Zhi could imagine her reddened cheeks. After a long moment, she softly replied, "Yeah."
"I, I! I have to go back to Dragon Country!" Gray said, "I originally told the elders that I would travel outside for a year. Now, I have to explain it to the elders again!"
Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Do you want me to go back with you?"
"You have many important things to do in Morning Frost Ridge, and..." Gray smiled foolishly, "Later, when we find an opportunity, we will return to Dragon Country together!"
Accompanying Gray back to Dragon Country is similar to meeting the parents. Now is not the right time. Ye Zhi pondered and said, "Are you going back alone?"
"The Third Elder came to pick me up. She seems to have known that I was in Morning Frost Ridge."
Gray paused for a moment and said seriously, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon after the elders help me check the Dragon Heart!"
Ye Zhi didn't know much about the dragon heart hidden in Grey's body. Even for Grey's sake, she should let her elders help her check it carefully.
Her elders were all dragons, which Yeats had not yet come into contact with, but from Gray's description, they didn't seem so unkind.
Ye Zhi hummed, feeling a little disappointed. She didn't expect Gray would be away from the territory for some time.
Accustomed to Gray's company, Yeats felt a little regretful at the thought of parting with her.
But "the blessing of telepathy" has bound them together tightly. Even though he is far away from home, Yeats seems to be always with her.
"When you come back, I'll make you something delicious." Ye Zhi said with a smile.
“Ordinary food is fine…”
"That won't do. It must have been done by a monster!"
"Ugh!" Gray protested.
Ye Zhi ignored him and turned to communicate telepathically with Xilude, secretly sighing that he had gotten used to the dual-thread operation so quickly.
"I have to go back to the North, Yezhi." Hildreth said straight to the point.
Ye Zhi was stunned: "What?"
I thought I could fast forward to the moment when we were sleeping together, but in the end, my martial arts skills were useless? "I... still have to go to the North to continue investigating the matter of the nameless old man." Hildreth did not hide anything from Ye Zhi and whispered, "I think that the information about His past will reveal the history of the old era. What happened in the end..."
"Is that kind of thing important?" Yeats tried to persuade him.
"Yeats...There is no sanctuary in the present age. If we want to achieve a sanctuary, we have to go back to history."
Hild said softly: "I think... only if you have power can you protect the people you want to protect."
After a long pause, Hildreth expressed his feelings and said softly:
"I can better protect you, Ye Zhi."
It was rare for Hildreth to speak his mind so bluntly.
But after experiencing the wedding in his dream, Yeats felt that his relationship with her had taken a step closer.
Her words moved Ye Zhi. After a long silence, Ye Zhi whispered:
"After you left, I was the only one left."
"Gray is leaving?"
"She needs to go back to Dragon Country to check the dragon heart inside her body."
"...You'll be lonely."
"But I don't want to disappoint you." Yeats let out a sigh and smiled, "Even if I am alone, I have to keep dancing. As long as I keep dancing, there will be a time for us to meet again."
"Yeats." Hildreth thought thoughtfully.
"how?"
"Have you and Gray... kissed each other?" Hildreth suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Ye Zhi was caught off guard.
"If we start from the same starting line," Hildreth said with a strong desire to win and a bit of shyness, "I won't lose!"
Yeats' words got stuck in his throat.
Thinking of the "Talent·Favor of the Silver Unicorn" and "Blessing·Enhanced Sense" that I have.
With all those unique skills, how could he lose to the Dragonborn and the Valkyrie?
"Wait for you to come back." Ye Zhi said seriously.
"Well...good night!" She smiled lightly and cut off the telepathy.
Yeats stared at the dark ceiling for a long time, thinking about future plans.
The Battle of Snow Forest, becoming an earl...things have to be done one by one.
In addition, the promotion ceremony for the Four Rings Knight is to win a competition.
"Is there a competition in Lundu soon?"
Ye Zhi murmured, "It seems that only those under 30 are allowed to participate... Then won't I be able to stand out?"
Suddenly, Daisy's smirk appeared in his mind. Yeats sat up suddenly and murmured:
"Now that things have come to this, let's see what new blessings the Fourth Ring Trickster has given us!"
