Chapter 233 Who is this person and was chosen by God to be raised as a magical pet?

As night falls, the cold wind cuts into your bones like a knife.

The Great Wall of Neverwinter stretches for thousands of miles, like a giant dragon lying on the snowy plain, with torches shining on the top of the wall.

The Night Watch Knight stood beside the beacon tower, his black steel armor reflecting the firelight, holding a fine iron lance, like a sculpture in the snow.

The snow was flying heavily. Beside the campfire, a general with an eyepatch was sharpening his one-handed longsword. The blade was as bright as frost and snow, and it trembled slightly with the dull sound of footsteps coming from afar.

Boom! Boom! After countless years of ice and blood, Gareth was able to accurately perceive the movements of the enemy. His eyes were cold and he said hoarsely:

"Frost Giant."

Before he finished speaking, a shadow flashed by and he stood up.

Clang! Wherever the general's sword pointed, a frost giant as big as a mountain slowly emerged from the darkness of the flying snow.

Deathly white skin, completely white eyes, wildly dancing frost hair, a huge ice axe, that hideous and terrifying face, coupled with an overwhelming physique, made the night even more gloomy.

This is an ancient race that once raised the banner of rebellion against the gods and once made the gods tremble with fear! A newly promoted Night Watch Knight, with a pale face, exhaled cold mist even more rapidly.

Boom! Boom! The frost giant stepped into the last zhang of the attack range, but stopped.

In full view of the public.

The frost giant slowly hunched its huge body.

Gareth was stunned.

There was a figure standing on the frost giant's shoulder! "Eagle Vision."

Gareth whispered, and the magic power in the magic network poured into his eyes, glowing blue.

As he gazed, the frost giant knelt on one knee, and a graceful figure in a fur coat floated gently to the ground.

"She enslaved a frost giant?"

The young knight was stunned.

The appearance of a woman in the severe winter and extreme cold is already strange.

And that seemingly fragile woman could actually make the Frost Giants so obedient!

Gareth's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. A glimmer flashed in his eyes, and he whispered hoarsely, "Don't panic. That's the priestess of the goddess of winter in the Dragon Mountains... the Frostwind Witch."

Heavy snow fell.

The graceful figure took off her velvet white fur hood.

This is a pale woman, with skin color between snow white and ice blue, pure white waist-length hair, glass-like blue eyes, and a graceful cloak with frost and dust scattered around, making her even more charming.

Behind her, there seemed to be a cold breath with a blue-white glow, leaving a glow trail that followed closely.

Swoosh——

Dark golden flames surged from Gareth's body and he leaped into the air.

The heroic soul power was revealed, the air waves surged, and in an instant, the sky was filled with wind and snow.

Boom! When he landed, the snow that was several meters deep melted instantly, and mist filled the air.

Gareth pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword. The Wall of Winter behind him was like a ten-thousand-foot iron wall. Even the frost giants seemed small in comparison.

Staring ahead, Gareth's face was expressionless.

"What is the matter with your visit this time, sir?"

"I want to go through the Wall of Winter."

"Alone?" Gareth frowned.

"Alone." said the Frostwind Witch.

Gareth narrowed his eyes slightly, his hand still on the hilt of the sword, and said in a low voice: "Then why don't you come alone? Humans and giants are mortal enemies, you know it very well."

"It's been a hard journey." said the Frostwind Witch, "It will be easy later."

"She doesn't seem to be lying. The Dragon Mountains are not under the jurisdiction of the Winter Goddess. White dragons, liches, and snow ghosts are all very difficult to deal with. It will be much smoother with the escort of frost giants."

Gareth frowned, wondering why the other party had come at this time. "Did you receive an oracle from the goddess of winter, so you want to pass through the Great Wall of Winter?" Gareth asked tentatively.

The Frostwind Witch nodded slightly, and what she said next made Gareth stunned on the spot.

"The Chosen One of Winter has arrived. I must go and meet him."

The coming of God's Chosen One is closely related to the current situation on the human continent.

The belief in the Winter Goddess is even more popular in the North, and her choice of gods has a far-reaching influence.

Gareth calmed himself down and said thoughtfully, "Isn't your Excellency the Chosen One?"

"I am just a priest, and I have a mission to fulfill." The voice of the Frostwind Witch was flat. "If you don't let me go, I will find another way."

In the snowy night, Gareth's face was lost in thought. After a long silence, he said:

"I can let you through, but on one condition."

"What."

"Tell me the whereabouts of the Chosen of Winter." Gareth's eyes were burning. "I want to know what kind of warrior he is and how he compares to the Knights of the Night's Watch."

The eyes of the Frostwind Witch were like sapphires, and she seemed to see a hint of jealousy in Gareth, and she said slowly: "It... is not human."

"Not human?" Gareth frowned. "Orc? Elf?"

"Holy beast."

The Frostwind Witch paused for a moment and said, "And it is a sacred beast that has made a contract with humans."

Gareth was slightly stunned.

Chosen by the God of Winter, has he signed a contract with humans?

Who is so arrogant as to raise the chosen one as a magical pet? * Morning Frost Ridge, Whitefish Harbor.

The sky was clear and ripples appeared on the blue sea. More than a dozen shark fins quickly emerged and rushed towards the harbor.

With Gao Huan's breath detection, Ye Zhi could see all the sharks on the seabed clearly.

Yeats stood on the small fortress built on the seashore, looked at the halfling Finn standing next to a coastal defense cannon, and nodded slightly.

Finn yelled, "Fire!"

Boom! Six coastal defense black guns roared in unison.

As soon as the shark man showed his head, he heard a thunderous sound, water columns and flames exploded on the sea, thick smoke billowed, and screams continued.

"Mmmurlok!!"

"Crazy Shark God, help me!"

"Mlwmlw!"

"Oh my god, we were fooled!"

The little squirrel stood on Ye Zhi's shoulder, nodded thoughtfully, looked at Ye Zhi who was helping to translate, and said with interest:

"You can speak the language of the merfolk?"

"I know a little bit of every language," said Yeats.

The rainbow salmon swam in the air beside Yeats and said slowly:

"I attest that his translation is very accurate."

Li Xi stood by with his sleeves tucked in, looking strange, thinking:

"I just thought the fishman spoke, but it turns out the lord was interpreting!"

"My Lord!" Finn came running over, his face full of excitement. "This exercise was very successful. The coastal defense artillery has the power of the first-level spell 'Fire Bomb'. These sharks are no match for them at all!"

The power of a first-level spell may seem insignificant, but six fire bombs fired simultaneously are enough to cause damage to a second-level creature.

These coastal defense guns mounted in Whitefish Harbor are more than enough to deter pirates who come to take advantage of the situation.

Yeats nodded with satisfaction.

"But I don't understand how you calculated so accurately, as if you predicted that the shark man would attack today?" Finn said curiously with admiration on his face.

"Let me explain." Li Xi said, "I fell into the water not long ago and accidentally caught a shark cub. It seemed to be of high status, so I spread the news and asked these sharks to rescue it."

Li Xi cleared his throat and said, "The results are still very ideal. The sharks around the sea area are almost wiped out."

Finn's smile froze, he scratched his messy hair and muttered:

"How come Rishi is even more cruel than Shark Man."

"To cut the grass, we must root it out. I'll leave the remaining sharks to you, Rich." Ye Zhi patted Rich's shoulder.

A hint of warmth flashed in Li Xi's eyes, and he nodded and said, "I will definitely live up to your trust!"

The progress of the two major projects, coastal fortresses and coastal defense artillery, is very smooth.

Regarding canned food, Ye Zhi received a letter from Lena yesterday, saying that the Adventurer's Guild and the White Whale Chamber of Commerce were willing to spend a large sum of money to buy the patent franchise for canned food. If they did not agree, they would cooperate in the form of dividends.

After much deliberation, Ye Zhi decided to sell the canned food patent directly in exchange for start-up capital to build a new port city on the east coast! Theoretically, the patent franchise can be used for ten years, and it is very irrational to sell it directly. However, after ten years, Ye Zhi felt that he would have the hope of touching the threshold of the Holy Land, so why would he care about this?

What's more, canned food exports are linked to food production capacity, and Morning Frost Ridge is not yet rich enough to engage in canned food export business.

This hen that lays golden eggs can certainly bring long-term benefits, but in specific analysis, the golden eggs are more important to Yeats at the moment.

Moreover, Yeats knew a lot about inventions like canned food, which was a business that made huge profits with no investment.

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

So Yeats wrote back to Lena, saying that he was willing to sell the patent franchise for canned food, which almost made Lena fall off her chair.

She tried to persuade Yeats for a long time, but failed to persuade him. She had to compromise and said that she would try her best to get him an ideal price.

The cooperation between Morning Frost Ridge and Starlight Chamber of Commerce has a long history, and Lena is someone Ye Zhi feels he can trust, so he handed the matter over to her.

"Next, I will be in charge of the construction of the Winter Temple." Ye Zhi muttered, "Although the Winter Goddess's power seems to have dropped from medium to low, she should still give me some benefits for my contribution in building the temple."

It was already the middle of the month, two days had passed since Gray left, and the competition would be held in August, so Ye Zhi still had some time to improve his strength.

Leaving Whitefish Port and returning to Swordwinter Keep.

Yeats received a short message from Beowulf, saying that he had killed a two-ringed terror-tusked pig in the back mountain and wanted to present it to the lord.

The back mountain, the Jueling Mountains are almost becoming the lord's back garden, right? Ye Zhi shook his head, remembering that half a year ago, he had a hard time beating a two-ring deer-eagle beast, but now he can just let his subordinates handle the two-ring monster.

"Just in time, after being ripened by the Faun's Afternoon Song, the peppers in the back garden are ready to eat."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "The dreaded boar is ferocious and agile, and has tusks. Although it is small in size, the quality of its meat is incomparable to that of ordinary wild boars."

"Chili pepper, terrified pig, um... let's make 'chilli fried pork' tonight!"

Suddenly, Ye Zhi felt a little regretful. Unfortunately, Gray and Hilde were not there, so he had to enjoy this delicacy alone.

"Why not invite the courtiers to come to Jiandong Castle and have dinner together? Who should I invite..."

As Ye Zhi was thinking, he suddenly felt a particularly cold wind.

call--

The wind was howling and snow was falling in the summer.

The Frost Flame Snow Leopard under his seat raised its head and let out a menacing growl!

Ye Zhi's aura spread out in all directions, and he quickly locked onto the high-level mage hiding in the air, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"Here comes with bad intentions."

As if realizing that his whereabouts had been revealed, the wizard floating in the snow revealed his true form.

A white-haired elf with icy blue skin, wearing a blue and white cloak, a hood on her head, white hair around her collar, beautiful and pale, with extreme coldness surging around her body, staring at Yeats expressionlessly.

Soon, Ye Zhi discerned the opponent's strength. He was a five-ring hero and very tricky.

If absolutely necessary, one has to use the little remaining divinity of light in the Silver Oak Sword to kill it.

When Ye Zhi obtained the Silver Oak Sword, there was still some light divinity remaining in this legendary weapon.

It was by using this part of divinity that Yeats successfully injured the Evil Eye Apostle.

However, there was not much of the divine power of light left, and Yeats estimated that he could only use the sword like the one on Walpurgis Night twice at most.

Ye Zhi had no idea what would happen if the divinity within the Silver Oak Sword completely dissipated.

However, thanks to this trump card, Ye Zhi can remain calm even when facing a five-ring hero.

Although the temperature suddenly became extremely cold, Ye Zhi gained resistance to the severe cold after eating the ice silkworms, and his face remained calm and said:

"Excuse me, what advice do you have?"

The white-haired elf took off his hood, and his waterfall-like silver hair curled slightly and fell to his waist. His glass-like blue eyes examined him carefully, and he spoke slowly:

"I'm here to meet the Chosen of Winter."

Ye Zhi and the snow leopard sitting under him were both startled.

"Are you... a priest of the Winter Goddess?" Ye Zhi asked tentatively.

Ye Zhi felt that the other person's breath was familiar.

Yeats had experienced a similar feeling from Celine, the Saint of the Moonlight Church, and he reasonably speculated that she was the so-called "Saint" who could serve as a vessel for the descent of the gods when necessary.

The ice-blue elf glanced at the snow leopard under Ye Zhi's seat, then nodded slightly.

"What's your name?" Ye Zhi asked.

"The world calls me the 'Frostwind Witch'"

Yeats was surprised.

Ye Zhi still had some impression of the Frost Wind Witch, who was the teacher of [Frost Winter Arrow·Hogus], named 'Ian'.

Out of fear of winter, people labeled Ian a witch, but in fact she was a serious clergyman.

But the nickname became widely known, and Ian gradually accepted the title of witch.

After flying for many days and nights, the Frostwind Witch traveled thousands of miles to Morning Frost Ridge.

Ian originally wanted to remain invisible and secretly observe the divine messenger, but since his identity had been exposed, he simply showed up and said calmly:

"I learned about you and the sacred beast 'Frost Flame' from the oracle of the Winter Goddess. The oracle said that the Winter Goddess lacked a guide in the practice of ice magic, so she ordered me to come here."

Another instruction from the oracle, which the Frostwind Witch did not state explicitly, was to rebuild a Winter Temple, which would also allow the Winter Goddess to recover with the power of faith.

Hearing this.

Ye Zhi's heart moved.

I'm worried that no one will teach Snow Owl the new spells of Blizzard and Frostfire.

The skill instructor came to me on his own! "Before that."

The Frost Wind Witch said calmly:

"First, I want to test what you and the Frost Flame Holy Beast have learned through a duel."

Ye Zhi naturally had no objection to the instructor's decision to conduct a baseline test, but when he heard that he would also be tested, he was surprised:

"Me too?"

“You are a messenger of God, and you have signed a contract with the Chosen One of Winter. If one suffers, all will suffer. You should be assessed together.” said the Frostwind Witch.

Ye Zhi thought thoughtfully that perhaps he could also learn new frost spells from the Frostwind Witch.

The Frostwind Witch has mastered the Song of Ecstasy and can even use this ability to control Frost Giants. Under her guidance, music and spells may be improved!

"Okay." Yeats looked up at the sky, "But it's getting late. Why don't we have dinner first and then discuss it."

The Frostwind Witch nodded slightly: "I'll wait for you."

Ye Zhi invited her to dine together, but the Frostwind Witch shook her head slightly and declined politely:

"I get moisture from ice and snow. Cold wind and dew are enough."

Ye Zhi said, "I have some ideas about food, maybe you will like the food I cook."

The Frostwind Witch still shook her head.

Yeats rubbed his chin.

Iceberg beauty, right? I'll use chili to cook for you later! This is much more delicious than northwest wind!
