Chapter 323 Three years and three years...I'm almost becoming the Chosen One of Dark Night!

'On the first day of the new year, Daisy wants me to offend the goddess of darkness.'

Ye Zhi rubbed his eyebrows and sighed in his heart.

'This is a bolt from the blue!'

The Goddess of Darkness is a ruthless deity who holds powers over assassination, poison, darkness, loss, etc., which sound very dark and twisted.

Although Ye Zhi once gained the attention of the Goddess of Darkness by offering food sacrifices, if he really stood against the Goddess of Darkness and deceived her by using trickery, his end would probably not be good.

As the saying goes, you can't touch a tiger's butt.

Yeats knew Daisy's character. Since she said that this promotion ceremony would be related to the Dark Night Goddess, she would most likely ask him to touch the Dark Night Goddess... (crossed out) Touch the Dark Night Goddess! The evening breeze was lingering, and in the thick fog, the tall beauty with gray hair like a waterfall had a glimmer in her eyes.

"I will tell you directly the details of the promotion ceremony."

Daisy seemed to be looking forward to it very much. She raised the corners of her lips, put her hands behind her back, and said slowly: "First, I want you to go to a seaside fishing village called Portsmouth."

"Portsmouth?" Yeats wondered in his heart, "Why does this name sound like Innsmouth...Will we run into Cthulhu creatures like the Deep One or Dagon?"

"There used to be an organization called the Tidecaller Cult, which secretly believed in the God of Tidecaller. Let me test you..." Daisy dragged out the end of her words, blinking her lively eyes, "Do you know who the God of Tidecaller is?"

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, thinking hard, searching the books in the memory palace, and then his eyes were startled.

I actually still remember this secret. I read it in the books of Jianhe University Library.

"The people living by the sea believe in the God of Tide, and pray to the waves to give them gills for breathing underwater, flippers for free movement, and hard, sharp scales." Yeats said, "In simple terms, the God of Tide is actually a merman, and his followers also hope to become mermen, and become closer to the God of Tide from the inside out."

"Not bad, not bad." Daisy nodded with a smile, "As expected of a bard, you have a deep knowledge reserve!"

When Daisy smiled, the corners of her eyes raised, charming and graceful, like a fox, which was completely different from her world-weary, alienated and melancholy temperament when she was deep in thought.

Ye Zhi looked away, coughed lightly, and said, "How can the Tidecaller Cult be related to the Dark Night Goddess? The Dark Night Cult has nothing to do with this cult!"

Daisy said slowly:

"The Tidecaller Sect has a secret treasure called the [Heart of the Ocean], which is a sapphire that has the power to call the tide."

"The sea will be a vast battlefield for gods to compete with each other for a long time in the future." Daisy paused for a moment and said, "Therefore, the Goddess of Darkness is also determined to obtain the Heart of the Ocean. Her followers have already gone to Portsmouth to search for the whereabouts of the Heart of the Ocean."

Ye Zhi frowned slightly, and the memory of [Heart of the Ocean] came to his mind.

The Heart of the Ocean is not the so-called sapphire at all, but the hilt of the legendary weapon Poseidon’s Trident!

Legend has it that the trident, the weapon of the sea god, was broken in a great battle and split into two parts: [Tsunami Edge] and [Wand of Tidecaller]. Only when the fork blade and the handle are combined together can the trident show its full power.

And Poseidon himself fell into a deep sleep after this battle.

There is still faith in Poseidon in this world, but He has not displayed miracles or blessings for hundreds of years. Only the extraordinary people in the sailor sequence and the priests of the Poseidon Temple are still following the way of Poseidon and ascending through the means of magic potions.

The Trident of Poseidon is related to the authority of Poseidon. In the future era of navigation, the divine power contained in it will be further enhanced with the blessing of the power of faith.

In the heart of the ocean, the handle of Poseidon's trident is sealed.

Yeats was not sure whether Daisy did not know the origin of the Heart of the Ocean or whether she was deliberately hiding it from him and preparing to give him a "surprise".

With the advantage of being a prophet, Ye Zhi knew the importance of the Heart of the Ocean. After all, as long as he got this gem, he could gain the upper hand in the fight for the Trident of Poseidon!

"So, the promotion ceremony for the Five-Ring Trickster requires me to compete with the Dark Night Sect for the Heart of the Ocean?" Ye Zhi asked in a complicated tone.

This ritual is as difficult as ever! "Yes and no."

Daisy said with a smile: "I'm not asking you to take it by force, but to use your wits!"

"Is it by outsmarting or by deceiving?" Ye Zhi asked.

Daisy rolled her eyes at Yeats, and explained coquettishly:

"I want you to disguise your identity, infiltrate the Dark Night Cult, and try to get close to the High Priestess of the Dark Night Cult, gain her trust, and help her get the Heart of the Ocean."

“When the members of the Dark Night Cult are ready to sacrifice the Heart of the Ocean to the Dark Night Goddess, you can replace the gem.” Daisy pursed her lips and chuckled. “I believe that by then, the Dark Night Goddess and her followers will be in a state of panic!”

Ye Zhi was surprised and said, "Let me become the Mist Sect's insider in the Dark Night Sect?"

"Not bad." Daisy tilted her head slightly and asked with a smile, "Don't you think this is interesting?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

Daisy is as generous as ever, letting the chosen ones in her own camp go undercover in other sects.

However, being an undercover agent was very risky, especially dealing with a group of vicious guys from the Dark Night Sect. Ye Zhi's face couldn't help but become a little embarrassed.

"Hey, I accepted the invitation of the King of the Wild Hunt on the Isle of Avalon and helped you a lot."

Daisy raised her eyebrows slightly, crossed her arms, and glanced at Yeats.

"Besides, I'm not just here to watch the fun. First, the Heart of the Ocean will be yours after you get it. Second, if your life is in danger, I will definitely help you. Third, I will bear the wrath of the Dark Night Goddess for you..."

"How about this deal? Is it reasonable?" Daisy said.

Ye Zhi was stunned. It was unbelievable that he was actually tempted! Daisy's purpose was as pure as ever. She was too bored, so she was looking for death while having fun. Before this, she had already made enemies with the Dark Night Goddess. Now she was planning to outwit the believers and offer the sacrifice [Heart of the Ocean] to the Dark Night Goddess, as if she was waiting for this powerful god to come to her.

Ye Zhi was confused and said, "But... the Dark Night Goddess is a powerful god. After this is done, she will definitely know that you are behind it. When she wants to take revenge on you, how will you deal with it?"

"I have the magic goddess Minerva protecting me."

Daisy said seriously, "At worst, I can cede land as compensation and give Him the fragment of authority I got from the Apostle of Vengeance... Then I can return to low-level divine power and be able to move around in the material world!"

Ye Zhi: “…”

You're almost destroying the Rainbow Bridge! "As the saying goes, you should repay a favor, so have you thought about it?" Daisy urged.

Daisy had indeed helped him a lot, and since the Heart of the Ocean was part of the [Trident of Poseidon], Yeats was also determined to get it.

"Okay." Ye Zhi nodded. "When do we leave?"

Daisy thought for a moment and said, "In February, when the Dark Night Cult and the Tidecaller Cult have new developments, I will let you set off for Portsmouth!"

"Members of the Mist Cult have infiltrated the two organizations you mentioned, so you can get inside information, am I right?" Ye Zhi speculated.

"clever."

Daisy's figure gradually disappeared in the fog, and her tone was full of expectation.

"With your talent in Dark Night magic, you will definitely be able to break into the upper echelons of the Dark Night Sect. Then, things will be even more interesting!"

In the courtyard where the fog has disappeared, there is silence, only the starlight is shining.

Ye Zhi looked up at the sky and murmured:

"Fast forward three years and three years...I'm almost the Chosen One!"

*The goddess personally performs miracles and explains the contents of the rituals. This treatment is usually only enjoyed by those chosen by God.

Each trickster's promotion ceremony is very difficult, but fortunately the rewards are quite generous.

If you can get the Heart of the Ocean, your movements on the sea will become more convenient.

After making plans to go to Plymouth, Yeats continued to stay in White Night City, waiting for news from Daisy and dealing with various matters after taking over Thomas's territory.

It is the New Year, and January of each year is also a very important month in the Central Plains. The White Night City is decorated with lights and colors, and the civilians are enjoying the joy of the festival, full of festive atmosphere.

The first "King's Chess Tournament" was held in Yeats' court, and Rich won the championship.

In the study.

Gray picked up the queen chess piece and captured the opponent's bishop. She looked at Hildreth's increasingly serious expression and asked curiously, "Hildreth, don't you like playing chess very much? Why don't you participate in the chess competition in the palace?"

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

"I'm afraid something might happen." Hildreth put his hand on the corner of the chess table and pondered.

Gray was stunned for a moment and said, "Playing chess...what will happen?"

"Someone will die." said Ye Zhi who was watching the fight.

Gray was startled to see that the corner of the chess table was slightly cracked. It turned out that it was caused unintentionally by Hildreth while he was thinking about playing chess. Cold sweat immediately ran down her forehead.

Seeing that the chess game was in trouble, Hildreth looked for help to Ye Zhi who was watching the game nearby.

Ye Zhi shook her head, indicating that she had run out of requests for help, and said, "Gray, it's your turn."

Gray hesitated for a long time, and under the extremely stressful gaze of Hildreth, she stood up and said, "I give up, Ye Zhi, you come and play!"

Xilude was stunned for a moment and said, "But the game has not yet been decided."

Ye Zhi sighed: "Doesn't this show that you are a good chess player?"

"Look, the corner of the table is cracked." Ye Zhi pointed.

Hildre looked in the direction, her cheeks flushed, and she said softly, "Sorry, I tend to get distracted when playing chess..."

Ye Zhi: “…”

A true chess master can win the game without playing chess!

The sunlight came through the window, illuminating the owl standing on the bird stand. Its eyes were bright and it stared at Yeats, motionless.

"The Snowy Owl looks very energetic today." Gray said, "Is it because it's New Year's Day, so it didn't stay up late last night?"

"No, it was also studying runes all night last night."

Ye Zhi said calmly: "The eyes you saw were actually drawn by it using runes."

Gray was stunned and moved closer to look at the snowy owl. She saw that the snowy owl was sleeping with its eyes closed. There were strange rune patterns on its eyelids, making it look like its eyes were open.

"How can you draw runes like this!" Gray said with a smile.

Ye Zhi shrugged slightly and said, "This rune is called [True Vision Rune]. It is a five-ring rune spell. Even when the snowy owl is sleeping, it can provide it with spiritual vision, provide alertness, and see through invisibility and illusions."

Hildre thought for a moment and said, "That is to say, through the True Sight Rune, Snow Owl can read the scroll even in his sleep?"

Ye Zhi stroked his chin and said, "In theory, it is like this... Now it can learn magic while sleeping, and its efficiency is much higher than before."

"As expected of a magic master!" Gray exclaimed.

"Speaking of this, the Snow Owl's arcane attainments are still some distance away from the master level." Ye Zhi pondered, "I want to help it become an emperor-level magical beast... but I can't find the right potion materials for the time being."

The way Warcraft advances is different from that of humans. Except for a few holy beasts, Warcraft cannot rely on faith to gain strength and can only be promoted through bloodline and rare materials.

The magical beasts in nature will instinctively eat and hunt those rare fruits, birds and beasts that are beneficial to their advancement.

For example, the emperor-level Basilosaur and the Sea Demon Squid are natural enemies of each other, and can even rely on devouring each other's remains to reach the realm of legendary monsters above the emperor level.

If you want to promote the Snow Owl to the Royal level, the potion must be related to the arcane, the materials must be at the sixth level, and there is also the risk of failure in the promotion.

All the emperor-level monsters are catastrophic beings that can cause earth-shattering tsunamis.

The Golden Lion Kingdom has the Royal Sun Fighting Lion, and other kingdoms also have Royal-level national guardian beasts. If the Snow Owl can be promoted to Royal level, the Principality of Morning Frost Ridge will have a strategic defensive weapon.

Hildes thought for a moment and said:

"There are very few royal-level magical beasts in nature, but there are many related records in the old era... Perhaps, by excavating relics with remnants of ancient magic, we can find the corresponding potion materials."

Ye Zhi nodded slightly, thinking: "This time I have to sneak into the Dark Night Sect, I have to find a way to get some benefits and materials back... Whether it's the five-ring potion materials for Fucas and Axe, or the promotion materials for Snow Owl, the more the better!"

At this time, Gray raised her hand and said happily: "The Great Elder's treasure house has many treasures left over from the old era! I will be returning to Dragon Country soon, so I can help see if there is anything suitable for Snowy Owl!"

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment and said, "You want to go back to Dragon Country? Why are you telling me now?"

Gray was stunned, lowered her head, and said guiltily: "The Third Elder asked me to go back to Dragon Country in a few months to help me check the condition of the dragon's heart... I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would worry, and I accidentally let it slip just now..."

Ye Zhi touched Gray's head and said in silence:

"I don't mean to blame you! I just want to ask, do you want me to go back with you?"

Gray heaved a sigh of relief, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said, "Not yet, wait until I convince the elders... then I'll let you enter Dragon Country!"

"If you want to give the Great Elder's collection to Snow Owl, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince him." Ye Zhi said.

"No." Gray smiled, "The Great Elder loves me the most. Besides, he has so many treasures, it won't be discovered if two are missing!"

Zuanya jumped out from under the corner of the table, hopped onto the chess table, and teased: "She hasn't even married Ye Zhi yet, but her elbow is already pointing towards him. How can she marry him!"

Gray's face suddenly turned red.

Hildesh put her hand on her chin, thinking.

Ye Zhi had a blank expression on his face. He grabbed the drill and stuffed it into his coat pocket. He nodded and said, "Gray, thank your elder for me first!"
