Chapter 277 The whereabouts of the emperor-level monster, the cunning rabbit has three burrows

In the quiet room, the divinity of the Black Knight completely dissipated.

The prophecies he left behind still echo in Yeats' ears.

Yeats fell into deep thought.

Apostle, messenger from heaven.

Their shapes, powers, and domains are different.

Yeats remembered that Teacher Kendala once mentioned to him the origin of the Fifth Apostle.

The Book of Revelation records that the fifth angel who serves before God monitors the good deeds of the angels, investigates disputes in heaven, and attracts revenge against the world of light...

Kendra called this apostle the "Angel of Vengeance".

But why, in the mouth of the Black Knight, this angel became a symbol of the virtue "tolerance"?

Could it be that the apostles, corresponding to the seven deadly sins, have the authority of the seven virtues? It is indeed a bit hypocritical to be known as tolerant when one is clearly carrying out an act of revenge.

Yeats frowned slightly.

Thinking back to the angels I had seen, those angels that were more bizarre and terrifying than the devil, I vaguely felt that heaven was not as beautiful as people imagined.

Or perhaps, something major must have happened at the turn of the old era and the new era.

Let the old god of light fall, and let today's light no longer be bright...

From this we can see that the "revenge on the world of light" mentioned in the Book of Revelation is also very meaningful.

In Yeats's view, what is justice and what is evil is not important. What is important is to understand each other's interests and motives so as to predict the enemy and win.

Because even gods, like humans, will plunder each other for faith, authority, and power.

Just like a big lord swallowing up the territory of a small lord, a weak god becomes a vassal of a strong god.

The disputes among gods cannot escape the entanglement of "interests".

——Different from the selfless immortals in the East, the gods in the West often have human characteristics. Some of them will take humans as lovers, choose heroes they like to be their chosen ones, and even become jealous of the golden apples offered by mortals.

The so-called gods are no different in essence from humans, so it is crucial to grasp their interests.

The Vatican and the apostles were constantly threatening Yeats' safety and damaging his interests, and therefore they were his enemies.

The King of the Wild Hunt was a heretic hated by the Church, but he helped Yeats repeatedly, so they were friends.

Sort these out.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but feel the importance of improving his strength.

Even if there is the Silver Oak Sword, which can deceive the supervision of the heaven, it is only a temporary measure.

In the material realm, only by becoming a sanctuary first can one have a certain say.

to this end.

As long as you kill the Blood Spider King, you will get the full support of the Lionheart King.

Use the water from Lake Avalon to irrigate Ye Zhi's Tree of Life and help him advance to the fifth ring! "I don't know how the King's plan is going..."

Ye Zhi murmured, "He said that he would use Colin's false surrender to lure Lord Blood Spider to the ambushed Lake Ness... Calculating the time, it should be within the next few days."

*September, the season of harvest.

The grape fields of London's wineries are ripe, and the countryside is filled with rich fragrance.

The hot month of August, guarded by the god of war, has ended, and the grape month, guarded by the god of fertility, has arrived.

Yeats's amazing performance at the August Games is still talked about by the common people of London.

Yeats won three championships in poetry, duel and equestrianism, creating heroic feats.

Although it is not unprecedented, Yeats' record will be difficult to surpass for at least a long time in the future! What's more legendary is that Yeats himself was a "rotten wood" with no talent for cultivation, but now he has made a big splash.

This story has been sung by bards in taverns across London.

The content also artistically adapted the stories of "Yets fighting against the cold wave" and "studying at Cam University", which was quite popular among the citizens.

The more popular the story, the more it is sung.

For example, the Iliad written by the blind poet Homer.

Before Homer, the subjects of bards varied greatly; after Homer, bards used his works as models.

Yeats was filled with mixed feelings when he learned that his story had been adapted into a bardic song. He thought, "They sang my story, but I couldn't even get a copper coin!" However, Yeats did understand why many heroes only operated in certain areas, but their reputations could spread across the seven seas.

This is closely related to this group of wandering bards.

The competition has come to an end.

Yeats's harvest was rich.

As for equipment, the Mad Lion Halberd, the Master's Longbow, and the Order of the Golden Fleece are all of rare quality, worthy of being passed down to future generations.

In terms of abilities, [Talent·Accurate Accuracy] [Blessing·Poetic Mead] [Combat Skill·Fierce Lion Slash] [Combat Skill·Arrow of the Blazing Sun] [Talent·Black Knight Riding].

In terms of expertise, the proficiency levels of archery, horsemanship, and spearmanship have increased dramatically.

Compared to before the competition, Ye Zhi's overall strength has improved qualitatively!

After all, he had just entered the realm of transcendence for a year, and his foundation was weak. The soul power that needed to be strengthened through accumulation had been stuck at a bottleneck.

However, Yeats has already realized the unique "will to power" of heroes.

This kind of willpower can not only make one's own mind strong and resilient, but can also make the weak surrender through just a look or a word.

The reason why Thomas was able to hold on to his position as Duke was that he mastered how to use his will.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but look forward to being promoted to the fifth ring as soon as possible.

The next day, early morning.

Silver Birch Manor, lakeside.

Bang! Bang! Axe punched the iron post.

The fist pile forged from fine iron bore traces of deep and shallow fist marks.

Seeing Lord Yeats coming, Axe adjusted his breathing and nodded, "My Lord."

Ye Zhi nodded slightly and said, "How is your wife's condition?"

Axe's eyes revealed a deep tenderness, he was a little dull and stuttered:

"With the help of the Lord's magic potion, her health is gradually getting better... I... really don't know... how to thank you!"

"Come back to the territory with me, there will be a place where you can be of use." Ye Zhi smiled.

Axel, a follower of the God of Fire, was a fierce warrior recruited by Ye Zhi at the competition. He was at the peak of the fourth ring, but possessed quasi-master-level physical skills.

The strength of the extraordinary people under the earl's command is an important criterion for measuring the earl's background.

Currently, Yeats has not only the four-ringed Fucas and Axe under his command, but also Grey who has recovered and returned to be promoted to the fifth ring.

The overall strength of Morning Frost Ridge is not inferior to that of White Night City.

Grey's position is rather special, serving more as a personal bodyguard.

But Axe was better at fighting alone, so Yeats planned to give him the title of "Warrior" and let him lead troops into battle and do duels on the battlefield in the future.

In the future, when expanding the territory and establishing a principality, Axe’s contribution will be indispensable.

Ye Zhi originally wanted to recruit Jello's three demon hunters, but unfortunately Jello was unruly, so he had to give up.

In any case, Yeats's talent for food played a big role in curing Axe's wife through the potion and luring him to Morningfrost Ridge.

Yeats briefly encouraged Fanax.

At this time, the butler came over and said, "My Lord Earl, Clan is here to visit."

"Please ask him to come into the drawing-room."

"Yes, sir."

Yeats collaborated with Crane many times, and every time they collaborated, something big seemed to happen.

Cran was a little nervous when he was invited by Yeats this time. He looked a little restrained sitting on the sofa in the reception room.

It was not until Yeats explained his intention that Cran felt relieved.

"I would like to ask you to introduce me to the president of the Adventurer's Guild, Mr. Anthony, Mr. Cran." Yeats went straight to the point.

Clan finally had the leisure to taste the fragrant and sweet black tea and said with a smile:

"Why did you want to meet Mr. Anthony?"

"To be honest, I want him to pay attention to the whereabouts of the emperor-level monster."

Ye Zhi said: "In the field of hunting monsters, no organization is better than the Adventurer's Guild."

Adventurers and demon hunters are often confused because demon hunters often take on adventurers' jobs, such as hunting monsters, exorcising evil spirits, etc.

In fact, only those who graduated from the Demon Hunter Academy were qualified to call themselves Demon Hunters, and Demon Hunters were already the elite among adventurers.

Among the adventurers of varying quality, high-level adventurers are able to kill poisonous dragons, while low-level adventurers can only take on simple commissions.

The royal family may not be as well-informed as the Adventurer's Guild about the whereabouts of the Emperor-level monsters, which is why Ye Zhi wanted to visit President Anthony.

"Emperor-level Magical Beast... I understand. You want to use the materials of the Emperor-level Magical Beast to help your own magical pet advance!" Clan said suddenly.

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "I can't hide it from you."

Cran was somewhat emotional. He was quite impressed by Ye Zhi's ability to tame beasts. Even a professional fourth-ring beast tamer could only contract one king-level beast.

And Ye Zhi has contracted a king-level magical pet, and there is definitely more than one.

Now, Ye Zhi actually began to try to cultivate an emperor-level magic beast... If he really succeeded, all the beast trainers would definitely admire him! "Anthony is not in the country at the moment. He should have gone back to Lazio for work. I will help you convey it." Clan smiled.

"Thank you." Ye Zhi nodded.

Anthony's ability is evident from the fact that he was able to secure the position of president of the Adventurer's Association.

Yeats was deeply impressed by Anthony, and he was a godfather-like figure in the original plot.

The Godfather controls the vast empire not only by relying on his personal strength, but also by relying on "human connections".

Several months ago, Yeats was not yet famous, but he had just hunted a witch, which attracted Anthony's visit.

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

This has a lot to do with Anthony's keen sense of smell and investment vision.

Clan is Anthony's friend, and with his recommendation, Snow Owl's promotion journey will be smoother.

Yeats exchanged greetings with Cran for a moment and personally escorted him out of the manor.

It's dusk.

A carrier pigeon flew into the manor, carrying the magical aura of the messenger school, and flew straight to Yeats.

Yeats took the letter and read the magic words on it, then the words disappeared automatically and the letter turned into a blank piece of paper.

The letter stated that the king had something urgent to tell Yeats and asked him to go to the Lion Palace as soon as possible to meet him.

The setting sun shrouded the spire clock tower and London Bridge in twilight, adding a touch of solemnity to Yeats's heart.

"It seems that the plan has changed. That's why the king is so anxious to summon me to an audience..."

Yeats rode as fast as he could to the Lion Palace.

*Leo House.

King Lionheart sat in the royal study.

The heavy oak door blocks out the outside noise, making the study room more quiet and depressing.

The walls of the study were decorated with dark carved wooden boards. A map made of parchment was spread on the mahogany desk, and a bronze alchemical oil lamp emitted bright light.

King Lionheart was staring at the map at his desk, his brows furrowed and his face as gloomy as water.

"Your Majesty," Yeats whispered.

The Lionheart King looked up, his brows relaxed a little, and nodded, "Sit down."

"What's troubling your Majesty?" Yeats asked cautiously.

"Please sit down first. We can't talk while standing." The Lionheart King waved his hand.

Yeats then sat down in the chair next to King Lionheart's desk and waited for King Lionheart to get to the point.

The Lionheart stared at the map for a while and said calmly, "I've heard about your victory in the equestrian competition. The Black Knight's riding skills are well-known throughout the continent, and they complement you very well. You should practice hard."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well... Renee thinks highly of you, too."

King Lionheart revealed a smile, which was actually because Ye Zhi supported Renee, which was what he wanted.

Ye Zhi took the opportunity to flatter him, saying, "Your Highness is very talented, has extraordinary magnanimity, and has the demeanor of Your Majesty."

King Lionheart laughed in silence. He knew that Yeats was a smart man and smart people only say smart things.

But these words sounded really pleasant to the ears, and King Lionheart enjoyed them very much.

The heavy atmosphere in the study eased slightly.

The Lionheart coughed lightly and got to the point.

"I called you here because I have something important to discuss with you..."

Yeats guessed that the king used the word "discuss" because the mission was very difficult and the king was somewhat unsure whether to send him.

Ye Zhi pondered and said, "Your Majesty called me here in a hurry. Could it be that Lord Blood Spider discovered that the Sword in the Stone she stole was a fake?"

The Lionheart shook his head. "She didn't find any clues. She was just too cunning. She carried the scabbard back and forth between several strongholds, making it difficult to determine which stronghold was the real lair of the Scarlet Society."

Ye Zhi was slightly startled. The Blood Spider King's caution was really troublesome.

Although Queen Blood Spider did not discover that the scabbard was fake, nor did she notice the Messenger God's positioning method, she kept changing her foothold based on her intuition, which greatly interfered with King Lionheart's judgment.

"Look at this map..."

The Lionheart King said in a deep voice:

"The three locations I marked in red on this map are the most likely locations for the Scarlet Society to take root. However..."

"But your Majesty is a little short of manpower?" Ye Zhi guessed.

The Lionheart King raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhi, was silent for a long time, and smiled hoarsely: "You...ah..."

Since this is King Lionheart's plan, the person who carries out the mission must be his most trusted confidant.

Originally, King Lionheart had entrusted the important task of eradicating the Scarlet Society to the Royal Horse Director William.

However, Lord Blood Spider's strategy of having three burrows forced Lord Lionheart to send more men, and there was a risk of the plan being leaked if he was not careful.

Yeats guessed that King Lionheart had no choice but to call him here.

The king sighed and said, "It is my fault that I did not anticipate the shortage of manpower... With your intelligence, you should have guessed my plan, right?"

There are three suspicious strongholds. Checking them one by one will definitely alert the enemy. All three parties must attack at the same time. Once they get accurate information, the other two parties will come to support them.

Colin has been sent by the Lionheart King to approach the Blood Spider King. The only people he can truly trust are the Sun Fighting Lion, William, Yeats and a few others.

Ye Zhi knew it well and nodded:

"It is my duty to share His Majesty's worries. I am willing to go to the Scarlet Society's base to investigate the enemy situation!"

The Lionheart's turbid eyes flickered slightly.

Although they had met for less than a month, Yeats's talent and courage really impressed King Lionheart.

There is no king who doesn't like loyal courtiers who can both offer advice and dare to take risks.

When the Blood Spider Lord had turned the tables on him and things got a bit tricky, Ye Zhi's presence helped relieve the Lionheart King's urgent needs! The Lionheart King sighed softly and looked at Ye Zhi in silence.

Yeats could see that the king was truly moved.

After all, this mission is like going deep into the tiger's den and involves great risks.

The Lionheart King was not a sentimental person. He began to assign tasks and said, "There are three suspicious strongholds scattered in three directions of the London sewer network. I need you to go to one of the directions for reconnaissance, Ye Zhi..."

"Once you confirm that it is the hiding place of the vampires, immediately use this rune stone to send a message to me, and I will order the other two groups of people to come to support. Otherwise, you should also be prepared to reinforce in other directions!"

"As you command." Ye Zhi accepted the communication rune stone and said, "So, the Scarlet Society's lair is located deep in the sewers of Lundu?"

The Lionheart snorted coldly: "The sewers are places where filth and dirt are hidden. The pipelines were expanded on the basis of the construction of the ancient empire, all the way to the Thames. There is a stronghold where the vampires hide..."

"I will let Lieyang Fighting Lion, William and you take charge of each route. If you encounter any enemy, be sure to report to me, Ye Zhi." The Lionheart King said solemnly, "To me, your life is more important than Lord Blood Spider!"

"The capital's sewers."

Hearing this location, Yeats couldn't help but recall some unpleasant memories.

The Blood Clan and the Scarlet Society took root here.

It is better to provide timely assistance than to add icing on the cake. Yeats recommended himself when King Lionheart was short of manpower, and he had no doubt about the generous reward he would receive afterwards.

But Ye Zhi was a little worried and asked, "What if Lord Blood Spider comes back during the reconnaissance?"

"You don't have to worry about that. I have received a message from Colin. He and Lord Blood Spider have found a remote mountain. Lord Blood Spider is trying to pry open his mouth and get false information about 'Avalon'."

Ye Zhi was surprised and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Colin's acting skills are poor and that Lord Blood Spider will see through him?"

"Colin doesn't know that the information I told him about Avalon's location was false. I also didn't ask him to hide it from Lord Blood Spider. I only asked him to spy on him."

The Lionheart King said calmly, "Given his personality, he will surely reveal this news under the attack of Lord Blood Spider's gentleness... Only in this way will Lord Blood Spider believe the news he has personally obtained!"

Ye Zhi sighed in his heart, what a deep conspiracy.

The two old foxes are bound to have the final showdown at Lake Ness.

Ye Zhi said, "May I ask Your Majesty, when shall I set out?"

"Wait for my order and set off during daylight!"

Ye Zhi: “…”

I understand the reason, because the vampires sleep during the day! (End of this chapter)
