Chapter 267: All parties are shocked, and the king rewards

The wind was howling, flags were fluttering on the towers, and horns were echoing in the packed arena.

All eyes were focused on Yeats. The young knight's armor gleamed silver in the sun. He scanned the entire venue and met the eyes of the king under the red tent. He placed his hand lightly on his chest and nodded in greeting.

The whole audience burst into thunderous cheers.

It seems that thousands of glories and halos are gathered on Yeats.

The tall Eva stood up, looking out at the venue with her beautiful eyes, her expression moved. She exchanged glances with her companion Roger and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Jello actually lost... lost to Earl Yeats's blessing of the Wild Hunt... This is incredible!

Roger lowered the brim of his archer's hat to hide his complicated expression, and murmured in a low voice: "We have to carry the unconscious Jello back."

Eva nodded and sighed softly: "I didn't expect that even Jello would be defeated... We still underestimated the Earl."

In the box, June observed her father's reaction, but saw the Lord Lannister tightly grasping the armrest of the chair. It was hard to tell whether he was admiring or fearful. He only said sullenly: "June, please congratulate Lord Yeats on my behalf... Congratulations to him, he will be famous all over the seven seas!"

Explorers divided the Atrium Sea into seven major areas, such as the Black Sea, the Ice Sea, the Red Sea, and the North Sea.

Yeats's victory would not only be known in the Golden Lion, but also in other kingdoms across the ocean.

Whether such a rising star is a blessing or a curse for the Lannister family who covet the throne is still unclear. The Duke of Lannister can only try to make friends with him.

If it were the former idiot of the Brown family, the Duke of Lannister would be too proud and arrogant to take him seriously at all.

However, Yeats is not only a poet chosen by God, but also a champion of the martial arts competition. He is a man of both civil and military talents, so he must be taken seriously! June pursed her lips and nodded, "I will follow your orders!"

Right now.

Wilson Brown, Yeats's brother, who was present at the scene, had a somewhat subtle expression on his face amid the cheers.

Yeats's great achievements should have been the glory of the Bronte family, but Wilson seemed to have seen Yeats establishing a family branch.

Wilson watched his brother, who was not favored by others, become successful and surpass himself bit by bit, and he couldn't help but feel that they were drifting apart.

However, Wilson felt no hatred in his heart, only an indescribable emotion.

"My father once told me that he had asked the witch of the Temple of Delphi for a prophecy, saying that when the family was in decline, a legendary figure would be born, and he would bring endless glory to Brondi—"

Wilson turned to the noble lady beside him and smiled, "This prophecy is not about me, Wilson, but about my brother, Yeats of the Bronte family."

"Fokas, look, Yeats won!" Gray said happily.

"I'm watching." Fokas's cloudy eyes flickered slightly, and the scene of accompanying the young master to the Northland emerged. Thinking of the young master using magic potions to help him recover, his voice became a little hoarse, "I've been watching all the time."

The strong wind blew up a lot of dust. Ye Zhi stood in the messy field, and a majestic voice came from the big tent.

"Yeats Bronte, come forward and see me!"

This was a summons from King Lionheart himself. Yeats jumped up lightly and in an instant he was standing outside the most distinguished red tent in the stands. He saw the court ministers standing on both sides of the tent, looking at him with kindness and respect.

A dwarf dressed in a very funny way, like a jester, with beads of sweat on his forehead and a pale face, gave Yeats a flattering smile.

Even Colin, the royal knight who had originally been rude to Yeats, now softened his expression and showed approval in his eyes.

The clanking sound of metal armor was heard as King Lionheart, wearing a crown and looking majestic, with a scabbard at his waist, walked out of the tent.

He narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ye Zhi who was standing there. Ye Zhi understood what he meant and knelt on one knee, performing the chivalrous salute: "Greetings to His Majesty the King!"

"No need to be polite."

The voice of the Lionheart was deep and powerful, revealing the dignity of a person who had long been in a superior position, and the admiration in his tone was undisguised.

"You have demonstrated your knight's fearlessness and bravery in the duel. The Golden Lion Kingdom needs young, brave, and loyal knights like you!"

"Your glory will be witnessed by the gods—"

"Yeats Bronte!"

The Lionheart suddenly raised his voice, and a powerful will enveloped Yeats, but there was no hostility, only the majesty and gentleness of an elder.

Yeats raised his head and saw King Lionheart's blue eyes, as deep as lake water, sparkling with wisdom.

"I award you the Order of the Golden Fleece, just like the heroes in the epic quest for the Golden Fleece, to honor your bravery!"

The courtier carried a wooden box covered with red velvet, on which was placed a glittering medallion consisting of a golden sheep pendant and a gold chain inlaid with flint.

Even Colin couldn't help but reveal a hint of envy in his eyes.

The Order of the Golden Fleece is the most honorable of the Order of the Golden Lion. The front side is engraved with the motto: "Hard work must be rewarded." The reverse side is engraved with the declaration "Never give in."

This medal is made from the epic material [Golden Fleece]. It can be used to cast the high-level protective spell 'Golden Barrier'. Its value cannot be summed up in gold coins!

King Lionheart personally awarded Yeats the Order of the Golden Fleece.

Ye Zhi waved the pendant on his chest and whispered, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

King Lionheart patted Yeats's arm and ordered Colin to bring a halberd made entirely of gold.

"I ordered people to forge this Crazy Lion Halberd with refined gold and Crazy Lion's tusks. It accompanied me in my youth when I was fighting all over the world."

The Lionheart King's big hand stroked the halberd handle, and there was a touch of tenderness in the iron man's eyes. He said slowly: "You told me before that you didn't have a weapon that could perform the Fierce Lion Slash... Heh, you may not know that you can also use this fighting skill with a long halberd."

Ye Zhi was stunned, his eyes flickering slightly. He didn't expect that the Lionheart King still remembered what he mentioned casually.

"Now, I will officially grant you this [Mad Lion Halberd] as a reward for your victory!" King Lionheart said solemnly:

"I hope you can make good use of this weapon and study the Fierce Lion Slash diligently, so as to live up to my past unique skills and my painstaking efforts!"

Ye Zhi was somewhat emotional, knelt on one knee, held the halberd handle with both hands, and said:

"I am willing to serve your majesty!"

The Crazy Lion Halberd is of rare quality. Although it cannot be compared with epic weapons, it is already a treasure worthy of being passed down to future generations!

This halberd is quite heavy. It is forged from refined gold and is quite thick. The tip of the spear is shining coldly, as if an emperor-level magical beast, a mad lion, is about to pounce and bite.

The power of the Mad Lion Halberd is far from being comparable to that of the Silver Oak Sword, but it is still a handy long-handled weapon.

Ye Zhi stroked the halberd, and was reluctant to let it go.

As the saying goes, the closer your hand is to the halberd handle, the further away your godfather is from you! "Mad Lion Slash" was recorded in a special book with magical words. King Lionheart gave Ye Zhi the secret manual of this fighting skill on the spot and said that if he encountered any difficulties in the process of practicing, he could go to the palace to ask him for advice.

This not only showed the favor of King Richard the Lionheart and Yeats, but also gave Yeats a reason to enter the palace for an audience.

The nobles also had factions, and some powerful officials formed factions that even the king could not do anything about. But the Lionheart was by no means a foolish and incompetent puppet king. He promoted Yeats, a new noble, and also intended to use Yeats to check and balance factions and protect the royal power.

When the royal power changes, everyone has to take sides. The reason why Yeats chose to stand on the side of the royal family is because in the original plot, the princess ascended the throne and became the ultimate winner.

In the original plot, Renee, who ascended the throne, remained unmarried for life and claimed that she married herself to the Golden Lion Kingdom. Under her governance, the Golden Lion Kingdom ushered in its golden age, developed commerce, culture and navy, and even the conflicts between the church and the gods were eased. She was a queen with flexible means and outstanding abilities.

Yeats also thought about joining the Lannister faction, but instead of helping an ambitious man to ascend the throne, it would be better to support a wise monarch and thus gain a reliable ally for the future confrontation with the Church.

As for now, the threat posed by Lord Blood Spider has not yet been completely resolved.

Colin's wedding is approaching, and the Lionheart uses the Sword in the Stone as bait to lure the Blood Spider into the trap.

Because of the merit of helping the royal family get rid of Lord Blood Spider, Ye Zhi believed that the Lionheart King would be willing to give out any precious fifth-ring material, which would be enough to help him break through to the fifth ring!

A five-ring hero has few rivals when traveling across the continent. As long as he doesn't run into a monstrous six-ring master, he can escape even if he can't defeat him.

And the seven-ring sanctuary level...Ye Zhi had experienced the power of the sanctuary and knew that it was a force that was enough to shake the physical world.

The leader of the apostles who hunted down his adoptive father, Michael, the King of Holy War, is even more powerful than the Holy Land.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but feel that he had a long way to go. He leaned on the Fierce Lion Halberd and looked at the flags flying above the arena. He thought to himself, "First, I'll practice the Fierce Lion Slash... This royal fighting skill has a stronger single-target killing power than the Unicorn Spear. It's enough to become my new trump card!"

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

* On the second floor of the tavern, inn.

The scarred, white-haired man was unconscious on the wooden bed. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, took out the dagger from his waist, and saw his two companions yawning beside the bed, and his fierce eyes softened.

"Oh, you're awake. You've been unconscious for a whole day and night." Eva, wearing a tight black leather jacket, said lazily, "It seems that Earl Yeats was quite harsh."

Jello was stunned for a moment, and the words of Earl Yeats before he fainted emerged in his mind. He said hoarsely: "I... lost to him?"

"What else? Not only did I not get the Fierce Lion Slash, but I also wasted a lot of medical expenses!" Eva rolled her eyes.

Jello was silent for a while, then said, "Yeats said something to me that is worth a thousand gold."

"What?" Roger asked curiously.

Jello spoke word by word: "He said that the King of the Wild Hunt is his adoptive father."

Eva and Roger were stunned, their eyes filled with shock, and they said in unison: "How is this possible?!"

"Nothing is impossible. Legend has it that the Black Knight is the adopted daughter of the God of War." Jello got out of bed, rubbed his swollen head, and sighed, "This also explains why he has so many Wild Hunt blessings... My understanding of the Wild Hunt school is far inferior to his, which is why he defeated me."

"It turns out that Earl Yeats is not only favored by the goddess." Eva murmured, "He also has a close relationship with the King of the Wild Hunt... He really looks like the God of Light."

The God of Light, the most beloved of all gods in mythology, everyone likes Him except the God of Darkness.

Roger leaned against the door frame, lowered the brim of his hat, and said with lingering fear: "I am really lucky that I was not injured by the Earl."

"So, sorry, I can't return to the North yet." Jello said in a deep voice, "I have to find a way to meet with Earl Yeats... I want to follow him, find the King of the Wild Hunt, and learn the truth about my master's sudden death!"

"You... Oh, forget it. Anyway, there's work to be done in Golden Lion." Eva crossed her arms and said, "You two both know about the vampires, right? They are the old enemies of the demon hunters. Now Golden Lion has a bounty order for vampires. Killing one will give you a reward depending on the status of the vampire. This can be considered as making quick money."

Jello whistled and grinned, "I don't care about the bounty or anything like that. I just hate vampires!"

*The news that Yeats won the tournament had spread throughout London.

He was chosen by the goddess of art and a brave and fearless champion knight, becoming a legendary figure of the Golden Lion in an instant.

After learning about Yeats's deeds, envoys from various countries all praised this nobleman who had overcome adversity and expressed their welcome to Earl Yeats to visit their countries.

Yeats, on the other hand, stayed at Silver Birch Manor and studied the Fierce Lion Slash diligently.

The sun is shining brightly.

In the backyard, Gray, as Ye Zhi's sparring partner, took a horse stance, stretched out her two palms, looked imposing and her eyes sparkling: "Come on, attack me!"

Ye Zhi rubbed his eyes and seemed to see a Tyrannosaurus Rex behind Gray!

After absorbing the energy of the dragon's heart, Gray is developing in the direction of a humanoid dragon. Her strength is terrifying. It is no problem for her to demolish the city gate with her bare hands. Ye Zhi suspects that she can even give the emperor-level Warcraft Mad Lion a shoulder throw! After all, she is a five-ring hero, so she can't be careless. Ye Zhi took a deep breath, holding the halberd in his hand, and his eyes were fixed.

Boom——

Ye Zhi's halberd slammed to the ground, and then his body soared into the air, spinning in the air, and an even more powerful attack whizzed towards Gray!

Fighting Skill: Fierce Lion Slash! The energy in the creation field even condensed into a roaring lion, and as Ye Zhi wielded the Crazy Lion Halberd, it pounced forward angrily! Gray's eyes flashed with surprise, and a dark red dragon claw phantom condensed in her hand. 'Dragon God's Blessing: Dragon Claw' cut the Crazy Lion phantom in two like cutting tofu.

But the tremendous force had not yet dissipated, and it landed in the lake behind Gray, causing a column of water to burst out.

Crash——

The falling water column soaked Yeats and Gray like drowned rats.

The two of them stared at each other and laughed out loud at the same time.

"Ye Zhi, when are we going back to Morning Frost Ridge?" Gray blinked her bright eyes.

"Wait until the day when Lord Blood Spider is executed." Ye Zhi looked up at the sky and said, "I have a feeling that by then, I will be promoted to the fifth ring."

"I heard that His Majesty intends to marry his daughter to you..." Gray peeked at Ye Zhi's expression, "Princess, is she... pretty?"

"Marriage is a means of seeking political alliances, and I have no intention of marrying into the royal family."

Ye Zhi paused and glanced at Gray, who was smiling: "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Gray chuckled, "Just thinking about what to eat for dinner!"

Yeats pointed to the unfortunate swans in the lake and said: "Eat roasted swans."

Roast swan was a famous dish in the Middle Ages and was also listed as one of the Eight Northern Delicacies in the Yuan Dynasty.

Gray complained, "Finally some more normal ingredients."

At this time, the old knight walked to the courtyard and said respectfully, "Young Master, His Majesty has sent someone to summon you to the palace to see him."

Ye Zhi and Gray looked at each other and nodded immediately: "I'll go right away."

In the carriage, Ye Zhi frowned and murmured to himself: "If I'm not mistaken, His Majesty the King should discuss Colin's wedding banquet with me."

Zuanya stood on the table and shook his head: "The battle between the six-ring masters is really boring. It would be more interesting if the apostles and gods got involved!"

Ye Zhi: “…”

The Squirrel School knows his family’s totem. Is this the character it is?
