Chapter 289 Heroic Will, Five Rings Knight Potion

A ray of colorful light descended from the night sky, forming a rainbow bridge across the lake that reached into the clouds. The tall, gray-haired goddess disappeared along with the rainbow, leaving only the silent starlight in the night sky.

Ye Zhi stared at Daisy's disappearing back, and thought that the trickster's "promotion ceremony" would be twice as difficult, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Being chosen by such a free-spirited goddess... good days are yet to come."

Yeats shook his head in self-mockery.

The ancient parchment book with a black and gold-rimmed cover was summoned again.

Yeats injects a touch of magic.

Soon, the Book of Vengeance transformed into a red-eyed raven, standing quietly on the back of Yeats's hand.

Yeats examined it silently and nodded with satisfaction.

[Revenge Raven] may seem inconspicuous, but it actually has the combat power of an emperor-level monster and can mobilize some power of the Law of Revenge. It is an important gain of this trip.

In addition, being promoted to a five-ring hero is of great significance. In the old era, he would have been a great figure who could be recorded in epic stories.

"King Lionheart said that when we return to Lundu, a celebration banquet will be held and my reward will be announced at the banquet."

Ye Zhi looked up at the night sky, and a trace of expectation arose in his heart. He murmured: "The aristocratic structure of the northern province may usher in a huge change!"

The firewood crackled and the bonfire burned.

The center of the camp.

Everyone sat around the campfire, silently eating the dry food they brought with them.

The battle just now has turned the five-mile area into a life-restricted zone.

Not to mention monsters, not even a flying bird could be seen.

After experiencing two six-ring level battles, everyone was exhausted, and the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the wilderness continued to echo.

The magic power in the realm of creation is still surging violently.

"The magic network here will take a long time to recover, and using spells will be even more troublesome."

The Lionheart sat on a large rock, wearing blood-stained armor, with his hands on his skirt armor, and said calmly: "Save some mana, we still need to use flying magic to travel tomorrow."

Colin bandaged the wound on the Lionheart's arm and nodded, "As you command."

The Sun Lion shrank to the size of an ordinary lion and crawled at the feet of the Lionheart King. Seeing Ye Zhi return to the camp, he raised his upper body and asked, "What was that rainbow just now? You were by the lake, so you should have seen it clearly, Ye Zhi."

"The 'Goddess of Youth' has left."

Ye Zhi paused, and said half-truthfully, "Before He left, He specifically told me to find the whereabouts of the Godhead of Light."

“The divine nature of light…” The Lionheart’s eyes moved slightly, and he nodded, “I’ll have people keep an eye out for it.”

The music of the bard has the magical power to heal wounds.

Yeats sat on the ground, took out Pan's flute, and played the melodious Faun's Afternoon Song.

The spell of "Relaxing Song" contained in it constantly heals everyone's physical and mental fatigue.

Under the illumination of the bonfire, the old king listened to the melodious music, his pupils reflecting the flickering flames, deep in thought -

The god of light, the symbol of medicine, music, swordsmanship and archery.

How similar he is to Ye Zhi... Could it be that Ye Zhi's swift sword with legendary power is the sword of the God of Light?

King Lionheart has always believed that he has a good ability to judge people and can see Yeats's extraordinary qualities.

Until today, Ye Zhi showed a closer cause and effect with the God of Light and killed the messenger from heaven in one fell swoop... Only then did the Lionheart King realize that he had still underestimated this young man.

With his current strength, he is not yet able to reach the top of the Central Courtyard Continent.

But his background and potential related to the gods are extremely precious in this world where all gods are watching.

King Lionheart was even a little worried that after his death, Renee would not be able to control Yeats.

But Yeats was no longer just his vassal, he was also his friend.

Keeping a good bow hidden is not King Lionheart’s style; the better the bow, the better it should be protected and used.

While I was thinking, the rest song was coming to an end.

Colin advised, "You have been through a hard battle today. Rest early, Your Majesty."

The Lionheart nodded slightly and ordered: "Colin, bring the spear -"

"yes."

The Lionheart took the blood-red trident handed to him by Colin and gently stroked the spear shaft, which was as smooth and slightly cold as ruby.

"What a great trident—"

The Lionheart called out, "Yeats!"

Yeats paused in his performance and gathered his consciousness, only to see the Lionheart King throwing the Bloody King's Spear towards him.

"It's yours, pick it up!"

Ye Zhi was slightly surprised.

He quickly caught the gun handle.

The moment he took possession of it, Ye Zhi felt the scarlet fighting spirit in his body resonating with the Blood King Spear. His blood and energy surged, and his heart beat faster involuntarily.

This is an epic quality Blood King Spear, several times rarer than the Mad Lion Halberd.

After the death of Lord Blood Spider, this epic weapon related to the [Blood King] fell into the hands of King Lionheart and can be said to be the most precious trophy.

Moreover, the Blood King Spear can greatly enhance the power of the [Blood School] and is extremely compatible with Scarlet Fighting Qi, Blood Flame and other moves.

With the blessing of the Blood King's Spear, the lethality of Ye Zhi's scarlet fighting spirit is even greater than that of the moonlight fighting spirit!

It was impossible for the Lionheart King to fail to recognize the value of the Bloody King's Spear, yet he generously gave it to Yeats.

Ye Zhi couldn't help but look at King Lionheart and saw a gentle look in his eyes.

"You have made an invaluable contribution in this battle. The most valuable spoils of war should belong to you."

A warm feeling rose in Ye Zhi's heart. He knelt on one knee and performed the chivalrous salute:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

'It is I who should thank you, Yeats...'

The old king's eyes flickered slightly, he suppressed the emotion in his heart, nodded majestically, and said:

"You should also go to bed early. We will set off early tomorrow morning."

In the tent.

Ye Zhi looked at the newly acquired Blood King Spear, then summoned the Medusa Shield and gestured with it in his hand.

"Isn't this a typical shield-poking style?" Ye Zhi thought to himself.

After being promoted to the fifth ring, Ye Zhi discovered that not only his body was strengthened, but the area of ​​the soul water in his body also increased a lot, from the size of a river to a vast lake.

The soul of a master is like the sea, and the soul realm of a god can derive a small plane. For example, the small plane of magic pets evolved from the realm of a tamer.

As the area of ​​the soul realm grows, the divinity within the body has more room to move around and begins to scramble for territory.

Ye Zhi specially separated the two power seeds of 'Scarlet Dou Qi' and 'Moonlight Dou Qi' to avoid mutual influence.

"The soul realm has expanded and can accommodate more types of divinity..."

Yeats looked up at the sky.

The bus has become a subway.

Consciousness exits the soul realm.

Gray spread out the moisture-proof blanket and bedroll on the ground, clapped her hands in satisfaction, and said:

"Well, just stay here for one night. You look exhausted."

"Where's your bedding?" Ye Zhi smiled, "Or do you want to sleep on the same bedding with me?"

"I won't sleep anymore. I'll go outside to keep watch." Gray stuffed the expensive pillow filled with cotton into Yeats' arms and said with a smile, "I'll call you when it's dawn."

Ye Zhi looked at the glimmer in Gray's eyes and saw that her eyes were a little distressed and sad.

He looked down at his own body again. The hem of his linen shirt, stained with blood, was visible through the gaps in his tattered chain mail.

The wound under the clothes has healed under the healing spell, but it will still break if you are not careful.

"It's just a minor injury." Ye Zhi grinned.

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

Gray wrinkled her nose, looked fierce, and walked out of the tent without saying a word.

After a long time, her gentle greeting was heard along with the evening breeze that blew up the tent.

"Good night, Yeats..."

Yeats smiled unconsciously.

Completely relaxed, Yeats fell on the uncomfortable straw mat which hurt his back, and he felt sleepy.

It’s September, and autumn is already deep.

Yeats' mind kept popping up with poems related to autumn. As he thought about how the bard could be promoted, he gradually fell asleep.

*The next day.

On the northern plateau, the grass is lush and the birds are singing.

In the vast sky, a figure burning with fighting spirit flew across.

Yeats and his group used flying means to return to London City.

On the way, everyone rested by a stream.

Yeats took the opportunity to ask King Lionheart about the essential difference between the fifth and fourth rings.

"The difference lies in the use of [will]."

The Lionheart King did not hide anything and asked Colin to take out a fine steel sword. He said to Ye Zhi, "Look, I haven't used my soul power yet, so I am almost the same as a one-ring transcendent, but..."

The Lionheart's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sense of oppression emanated from his body that was as real as a substance.

Only the clanging sound of a sword was heard, and the fine steel sword was shattered by the deterrence, breaking into two pieces and falling down with a clang.

Yeats couldn't help being a little surprised.

If this happened on the battlefield, a hero would be enough to change the course of the entire battle! No wonder wars on the Zhongting Continent often adopt a "fighting generals" model similar to that in the novels: two generals duel, one loses, and the other takes advantage of the victory to pursue.

The soldiers in the Midgard Continent have no lethality to heroes unless they have blessings and protection, so there is no point in piling up their numbers.

"I don't need to take action at all. Low-level people pose no threat to me."

Lionheart King said: "Moreover, [Will] also has strong and weak points. Some five-ring heroes with weak wills have a weaker influence on the four-ring. However, when a five-ring hero with a strong will duels with the same ring, even if his soul power is slightly inferior, he will still have the upper hand!"

Ye Zhi seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "So, the contest between heroes is first and foremost a contest of [wills]?"

"good."

The Lionheart nodded and said, "If you want to sharpen your will, you can't just rely on breathing techniques and meditation. In this world, you will see some people staying under waterfalls to practice asceticism, and some people climbing snow-capped mountains to isolate themselves from the world... What they are tempering is [will]."

"In addition, the stronger the enemy, the stronger the hero's will will become as long as he can withstand the will of these powerful enemies—"

King Lionheart said: "So, you will see some heroes tirelessly challenging powerful enemies, knowing that they will die but still insisting on doing so. This is the secret of will."

Yeats sighed to himself.

My will is so strong.

I have experienced the oppressive feeling of the sanctuary many times. The so-called heroic will has no effect on me at all!

After explaining the special features of the Five-Ring Hero, the King went on to talk about how to advance to the Six-Ring Master level.

Lionheart said: "As for the Six-Ring Master... In addition to possessing the heroic will, he must also reach the pinnacle of a combat specialty and possess mastery."

"For example, Colin is a master of swordsmanship, and I am a master of archery." The Lionheart King said, "Some six-ring masters possess two or more master-level specialties at the same time... This will lead to qualitative changes and have a great advantage in a duel."

Yeats nodded and thought:

"My expertise in Potions should be at the master level."

"His expertise in food science is even more terrifying, and he has master-level attainments..."

There is also a feat related to entertainment, 'King's Chess', which Yeats is also a master at...but these feats are not applicable to combat and are classified as life-related feats.

Some masters in some areas of life are given the title of "Master" not because their soul power has reached the sixth ring, but because they have reached the master realm due to their specialties in potions, food, forging, etc.

With Ye Zhi's attainments in alchemy, he can completely make the five-ring potion by himself.

However, a good cook cannot cook without rice, so you still have to find the right ingredients first.

So, Ye Zhi asked King Lionheart about the promotion potion for the Knight of the Five Rings, and asked if the royal family had any suitable five-ring materials.

The Lionheart King frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "When it comes to the realm of heroes, it is already very difficult to get a promotion in the professional path... Often you have to fight epic monsters to get the corresponding main materials."

"For example, the Five Rings Knights' promotion potions include [Frost Giant Potion] and [Cyclops Potion]... But these giants only exist on remote islands or at the end of the polar regions. Occasionally, the materials appear in the secular world, but they will be sold out quickly."

"Golden Lion is famous for its longbows. The royal family only has some five-ring main materials for the hunter profession. However, I will write a letter to the Roland royal family. They are famous for training knights, so I'm sure there will be some gains."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, regarding the knight's promotion potion, I have my own choice." Ye Zhi said.

Lionheart said, "Oh? What potion is that?"

"[Moon Pig Potion]."

Ye Zhi said: "Your Majesty should have heard of the story about the Calydonian Boar. This giant boar that killed a large number of heroes in the epic is actually an emperor-level monster called the Moon Pig."

"In the old era, a king neglected the moon goddess during the autumn harvest sacrifice. The moon goddess then released a huge wild boar on the plains of Calydon, trampling the crops and attracting many heroes to surround and kill it."

This moon pig in the epic, on the one hand, helps to enhance Yeats's attainments in the moonlight genre, and on the other hand, it coincides with the concept of "hunting" in the Wild Hunt.

"Every year during the autumn harvest season, there are sightings of moon pigs on the mainland."

Ye Zhi said: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to help me keep an eye out for information about the Moon Pig. I would be very grateful."

"Don't worry, leave this to me." The Lionheart King nodded and immediately ordered:

"Let's continue on our journey. I have sent a message to have a celebration banquet prepared at the Lion Palace, and all the dukes are invited to attend..."

Patting Ye Zhi on the shoulder, the Lionheart King said meaningfully:

"This is an occasion for you to demonstrate your will, Yeats... Young people should have the vigor of youth and don't be too modest!"

The implication is that King Lionheart told Yeats that he didn't have to hide his promotion to hero.

Ye Zhi: “…”

Showing off my power in front of others is something I am good at! (End of this chapter)
