Chapter 235 Blood Blessing, King Solomon's Seal Ring

The Jueling Mountains.

The mountains are winding and covered with silver.

Pegasus spreads its wings and flies through the sea of ​​clouds.

Ye Zhi rode on the back of Luobo and looked down from the sky with the help of Eagle Vision. The huge stone chessboard on the top of the mountain was covered with a ruby-colored barrier.

'The Black Knight loves rubies, favoring a dark red hue that borders on deep black.'

Ye Zhi's eyes flickered.

"It's a pity that the oracle came so suddenly that I didn't have time to prepare a gift. Otherwise, I could have improved the Black Knight's favor."

But it's not a big problem.

Just tell a joke!

Yeats recalled the serious tone of Beowulf's short message and was a little surprised. How can you be sure that this is an oracle? Beowulf said that this was because he had also received an oracle from the god of war. The content was a line of ancient inscriptions. He spent a lot of money to find someone to decipher it, and the meaning was "Giant's Road".

As for what this place name hides, Beowulf has yet to explore it, but this is his first encounter with the 'Oracle'.

The so-called oracle refers to the hints or prophecies from gods.

A word becomes a prophecy. Here, "prophecy" refers to a sign and is often associated with myths and metaphors.

On the continent of Middle-earth, at the Temple of Delphi on the coast of the Aegean Sea, there was an oracle from the God of Light, "Know thyself."

The traditional interpretation of this sentence is that it advises people to have self-knowledge and not to attempt to challenge God's authority.

But there is also a view that this oracle contains the key for humans to set foot in the holy land. History has recorded that a master was enlightened in front of the inscriptions in the Temple of Delphi and ascended to the holy land.

Oracles are often vague.

But Yeats had received many oracles from the Black Knight.

Moreover, she appeared in person and said it clearly to Yeats.

At this moment, Yeats "looked" at the particularly active, invisible strategic divinity on the stone chessboard, and murmured with some anticipation: "I wonder if the Black Knight will show up this time."

call--

The white horse slowly landed, and its white wings scattered into spots of light. Ye Zhi took the carrot back to the magical pet plane and slowly stepped onto the stone chessboard.

The moment you step onto the black and white chess squares, ripples appear on the board, as if the divinity in the realm of creation has gathered together in an instant.

Yeats' eyes widened.

This is a sign of the incarnation's arrival! Red light sources were seen floating in the air, like thousands of red fireflies, gathering into a teleportation plane.

From the plane, dark red combat boots stepped out first.

jailer!

Ye Zhi coughed lightly, looked at the black knight with black braids and eyes shining like rubies, nodded and said, "Long time no see, senior."

The black knight was wrapped in a blood-red full-body armor, looking heroic.

The Black Knight looked at Yeats without making any comment on this title, and said straight to the point:

"I must admit... you surprised me."

Ye Zhi was startled: "What do you mean?"

"The Silver Oak Sword was scattered throughout the material world. The gods had thought of using some means to retrieve it, but in the end it was you who got it..."

The Black Knight's eyes flickered, and he whispered, "You have accomplished a great deed, Yeats."

Ye Zhi did not answer, but he was a little alert in his heart. The Silver Oak Sword was obtained by me, and this should not be known to the gods.

This is because of the characteristics of mistletoe. At first, 'Mistletoe' was ignored by the gods. But how did the Black Knight know this? The Black Knight's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He said lightly: "Hilde is my chosen one. You already know this."

Ye Zhi suddenly realized that the implication was that she learned about the Silver Oak Sword through Hildreth.

But the question arises, and Yeats can't help but ask: "Will the chosen ones always be under the watchful eyes of the gods?"

"certainly."

The black knight's stern gaze swept across the chessboard.

"It's impossible for a chess piece to avoid the player's gaze, but... you are different, Ye Zhi."

"What's the difference?"

"Your destiny is unpredictable."

The Black Knight paused for a moment and said, "I came all the way to see you for this very reason."

Ye Zhi frowned slightly. He had heard similar words from the King of the Wild Hunt before.

The fate of all living beings in this world has been woven by the thread of fate. Even the gods cannot disobey it and can only watch the thread of fate come to an end.

However, there are also a minority who are not affected by fate... Ye Zhi thought to himself... Is this because I am a time traveler?

The Black Knight continued, "Your every word and action is not always noticed... although there are quite a few Lords of the Divine Realm who are paying attention to you."

Above the holy land is naturally the realm of God.

It is a law-like existence, and believers can even pray for power from the realm of God for their own use.

More powerful than combat skills and spells, the essence of a 'blessing' is to summon power from the realm of a specific deity.

'In the final analysis, mortals are no different from ants, even the sanctuary is no more than that.'

Yeats glanced at the sky.

I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are watching me at this moment, waiting for me to make some big news again.

It’s like the big brothers on the list waiting for the anchor to come online.

Yeats couldn't help but feel a desire and made a secret decision.

"Now that we are here, how can we not appreciate the scenery from a higher altitude?"

'Even if I have to be an ant for my whole life, I will try to be the most annoying ant!'

In Yeats's opinion, the Black Knight was relatively honest and trustworthy. He pondered and said, "You conveyed the oracle to me personally, so it shouldn't be just to tell me this, right?"

The Black Knight shook his head slightly, and a rare hint of expectation appeared on his cold face:

"Before that...why not tell a joke to lighten the atmosphere?"

Ye Zhi was stunned: "Now? Tell a joke?"

The Black Knight hid his disappointment just right, and said calmly, "Aren't you prepared?"

Ye Zhi: "Well...I was actually prepared."

"Really?" The Black Knight raised his eyebrows and immediately put on a posture of listening attentively, "I will be a quiet listener."

No matter what, this is an opportunity to improve your favorability. The Black Knight is one of the rare reliable pillars.

As for the other big names... Yeats thought about it... Daisy doesn't play by the rules, and Lilith lustes after my body, they are both dangerous characters.

As for the King of the Wild Hunt, Ye Zhi could only say, it's a pity that she is not a goddess! Ye Zhi cleared his throat and said:

"As the saying goes, the palms and backs of your hands are all made of flesh. The Holy Son said angrily, 'Why is mine not made of flesh?'"

A cold wind blew across the mountain tops.

A silence fell between Yeats and the Black Knight.

It seems that the punchline is not very loud...Ye Zhi coughed dryly and wanted to move on to the next topic.

However, the corners of the Black Knight's mouth slowly lifted up, and he let out a hoarse laugh:

"Haha...I see...What a joke from hell, isn't it."

As he laughed, the Black Knight seemed to be a little afraid and straightened his expression: "Ye Zhi, this is not funny."

"It's okay. Just laugh. If you want to go to hell, I'll go to hell for you."

The corners of the Black Knight's mouth trembled slightly. He touched his lips and nodded seriously.

"Anything else?"

"That was a close call, I almost couldn't hold it in!" the Black Knight thought to himself.

Yeats said: "The pharaoh cannot be too fat, otherwise it will be difficult to make him into a mummy."

The Black Knight covered his mouth: "Haha..."

Yeats waited for the blush on the Black Knight's neck to fade, and watched her come to her senses.

The Black Knight cleared his throat in a serious tone and said, "Ahem... Yeats... I will return the gift to you."

Hearing this, Ye Zhi was slightly stunned, and then he was overjoyed.

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

Just telling a joke can actually bring you a powerful blessing!

Black Knight, you are quite nice! "What's the return gift?" Ye Zhi asked curiously.

The Black Knight thought for a moment and said, "Blessing requires divinity as its source, but I have consumed a lot of energy to see you in my incarnation... Do you have anything made of rubies?"

Ye Zhi also considered that the Black Knight could use rubies to replenish his divinity, but he had not prepared anything before coming. He fumbled in the space bag and took out a red agate the size of a pigeon egg.

"There is only one piece of blood-red agate. Is this okay?"

"Um."

This piece of blood-red agate is of good quality and is qualified to be a collection of the dragon. The black knight nodded and said:

"If you are willing to offer me the blood-red agate, I can use it as a source to bless you."

“However, blood is not my forte, so it is slightly inferior to the blessing I gave to Hilde.” said the Black Knight.

As the god of strategy, the Black Knight is best at spells in the fields of war and prophecy, and is also proficient in blood spells.

Although his attainments are not as profound as the first two, they are more than enough to bestow blessings on mortals.

"Of course! I will offer you sacrifices and praises!"

Ye Zhi handed over the blood-red agate with both hands. He had been looking forward to the blood school's spells, and added: "And jokes!"

The black knight revealed a charming smile and took the blood-red agate personally.

The translucent red agate turned into a crystal red stream of light the moment it touched her palm.

The scarlet light emitted a faint blood aura, dancing around the black knight's blood-red plate armor, and then at her signal, fell into Ye Zhi's body!

[You have received the blessing from the Black Knight! ]

[Blessed Blood Flame Blade: Scarlet blood flames can wrap around your right hand weapon. After the blood flames inflict damage to the enemy, the bleeding effect gradually accumulates. When the upper limit of the bleeding effect is reached, the blood flames will explode.]

"This blessing is mainly used on weapons." The Black Knight said, "The steps to cast the spell are to wipe the sword with your palm while casting the blessing... You can try it now."

Clang! Ye Zhi drew out the Silver Oak Sword and used Blessing at the same time.

Suddenly, a ball of scarlet blood flame ignited in the palm of his left hand! Ye Zhi slowly placed his palm on the sword, and the blood flame immediately climbed up the sword like a red snake.

Slowly wiping the sword edge from the hilt, Ye Zhi made a sword flower, and the scarlet blood flame on the silver oak sword burned brightly! The blood flame had a sharp breath, and it already had the prototype of scarlet fighting spirit! Ye Zhi's heart was shocked, and the fashionability increased again!

Seeing Ye Zhi use the blessing so quickly and freely, the Black Knight's eyes flashed with affirmation and he thought to himself.

"Before using the blessing, I must first adapt to the divinity, but Ye Zhi seems to be very compatible with my divinity..."

Although Yeats's magical talent was not good, he never rejected any external divinity.

It was as if any divinity could occupy a place in his body... This was the advantage of him being able to use multiple blessings at the same time! The Blood Flame Blade was strong in continuous damage, and its power could not be directly compared with the four-ring combat skills, but it was enough to become Ye Zhi's trump card.

After all, the negative effect of "bleeding" is extremely restraining to humanoid creatures! Ye Zhi sheathed his sword and said sincerely:

"Thank you, Senior Black Knight."

The Black Knight nodded slightly, his eyes gradually deepened, and he said slowly:

"The main reason why I came to see you is for the following reminder... You can also understand it as a request."

A request from the gods? Yeats was quite surprised.

The Black Knight narrated slowly: "Legend has it that more than a thousand years ago in the Holy Calendar Era, there was a human king whose power and wealth reached an incredible level. Even the gods were terrified by his power of the Holy Land alone."

"Can the holy land make gods afraid?" Ye Zhi was surprised.

Isn't this the deed of the King of Lorraine? Is there another master?

"He is called King Solomon. The reason he can do this is because he obtained a 'ring'." said the Black Knight.

Ye Zhi said strangely: "This ring, can't it be called the Supreme Magic Ring?"

"The One Ring, that's probably what you humans call it," said the Black Knight, "To be precise, it's called the Seal of Solomon."

"This seal ring is engraved with a hexagram pattern. It possesses ancient contract magic and can even summon demons to serve it."

"When Solomon was alive, he used this seal ring to control the seven hell kings, 'Baal', and the seventy-two demon gods, and established a huge human empire."

"After his death, the whereabouts of the seal ring is unknown, and his soul is also affected by the contract and turned to ashes..."

The Black Knight looked at Ye Zhi, who was hesitant to speak, and nodded slightly, signaling him to speak.

"Isn't the King of the Seven Hells Lucifer?" Ye Zhi asked, "I've heard of Lucifer before, but where did this Baal come from?"

"Baal is the former Demon Lord who was killed by Lucifer." said the Black Knight.

Ye Zhi: “…”

First he was driven by King Solomon, and then he was usurped by the fallen angels from outside... What a cowardly devil he is! "Solomon's seal ring and Lorraine's sword in the lake are buried together in the present-day Kingdom of the Golden Lion."

The Black Knight stated his purpose and said, "I hope you can help me find clues about the [Solomon's Seal] in the material world. I will also give you epic armor as a thank you gift."

"Any clue will do?" Ye Zhi asked tentatively.

"As long as you try your best."

"Why don't you let Hirud take action?"

"She is in the North, looking for an opportunity to enter the Holy Land. And this opportunity... will be closely related to Valhalla." The Black Knight did not continue the conversation.

Gray and Hildreth were destined to reach the Sanctuary, it was only a matter of time.

On the contrary, I have to make long-term preparations for promotion to the Holy Realm.

The most urgent task is to participate in the competition in Lundu, improve the way of chivalry, and try to abduct a princess back to the territory to do odd jobs.

As for the investigation into Solomon's Signet, Yeats decided to accept it.

After all, the Black Knight has no mandatory requirements for this commission. As long as you agree, the epic equipment will be given for free.

On the other hand, Ye Zhi really knew the plot of the game related to this signet ring. This ring was related to future cooperation with the demons.

“I’ve seen this episode—”

Yeats nodded secretly.

“This thing is meant for me!”
