Chapter 325 The Dark Night Sect has decided that you will be the head chef!

"Mr. Ye Zhi, why do you suddenly want to investigate the [Secret Cult of the Tidecaller]?"

Clan communicated with Ye Zhi remotely through short messaging and the magic network.

I always feel that every time I act with Duke Yeats, I will encounter disaster...

Although Duke Yeats always demonstrated strong execution ability and averted danger, this had happened more than once or twice, so Cran always had an inexplicable awe of Yeats, as if Yeats could easily be involved in events related to gods.

Crane picked up the pipe that had fallen to the ground, held it in his hands, took a deep breath, analyzed calmly, and muttered to himself.

"I hope this is just my illusion..."

Soon, Ye Zhi's short message came back, explaining: "I have heard about the secret cult of Tidecaller. This secret cult absorbs humans and transforms them into murlocs through rituals. It is against the will of heaven and has become a major concern for the Lionheart King... For both public and private reasons, I want to eradicate the secret cult in one fell swoop, so I contacted you and want to investigate with you."

"I see!"

Clan put down his pipe, his eyes gleaming in the swirling mist, and said admiringly:

"Not only do you have noble blood flowing in your veins, you also possess the chivalrous virtue of fighting for justice!"

Helping the weak and suppressing the strong, slaying evil and eliminating demons, these are the just actions recognized by the knights.

Although most of the time, knights represent the interests of the nobles, there are also many fearless people among them who fight to defend the weak.

In Cran's opinion, Yeats is not only a talented bard, but also one of the most outstanding knights in the Golden Lion Kingdom!

After all, a dignified duke was willing to go into danger and personally investigate the secret cult that was endangering one side. This was something that those mediocre nobles could not compare to! Listening to Clan's sigh, Yeats sat in the study, tapping his fingers on the desk, his thoughts scattered.

Whether it is the knights of the West, the knights of the East, or the cowboys and samurai, they all have something in common.

To sum it up in one sentence, fight for the things you cherish.

If this operation can eradicate the Tide-Calling Secret Cult that is causing trouble to the area, it will be a blessing for the civilians along the coast.

"No need to compliment you," Yeats cleared his throat. "Please give me the information you have, Mr. Crane."

"certainly!"

Clan paused for a moment, changed his tone, and said slowly:

"The base of the Tidecaller Cult, Plymouth, is a small fishing village on the coast. Local fishermen often salvage gold from the seabed, but according to my investigation, these are actually treasures that are given to humans by the murlocs, and they carry disasters. The price of the reward is that humans need to join the Tidecaller Cult, give up their human skin and turn into murlocs, thereby expanding their faith in the murloc god..."

Ye Zhi nodded in understanding.

This plot in Phantom Wings is actually a stitching together of the famous Cthulhu mythology "The Shadow of Innsmouth", which tells the story of the Deep One and the Great Old One Dagon.

The Deep Diver is actually the prototype of the fish-man in later fantasy works.

Yeats also had an impression of this God of Mermen. He was a low-level divine power whose faith was only spread among the Mermen. He and the God of Mermen were hostile to each other, which led to the fact that Mermen and Mermen would always fight to the death whenever they met.

Theoretically, Ye Zhi could also stew the murloc into fish head soup, but it was too curious... The murloc's mounts, such as some bighead carps, giant salamanders, and jumping frogs, were very delicious when used to stew soup.

Ye Zhi thought that if he cooperated with the Dark Night Sect to destroy the Tidecaller Cult, he might be able to offer a feast to the Dark Night Goddess in exchange for a blessing.

The blessing of the Moon Goddess has already been received, so it is reasonable to receive multiple blessings from the Dark Night Goddesses!

Crane continued: "Every year, the local fishermen of Plymouth would sacrifice a virgin alive to the fish king who lived on the coast in exchange for the gold rewarded by the fish king... The content of the ceremony was dark and cruel, but the local lord was mediocre and incompetent, and it was not until this year that this matter was exposed."

"How did the paper fail to cover the fire?" Yeats asked for details.

Clan said: "Because this year, the girl who was sacrificed escaped before she was sacrificed alive..."

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment and commented:

“It’s incredible.”

"Yes, it's incredible that a weak girl could escape from the surveillance of the entire village without any help." Clan said regretfully, "Unfortunately, I couldn't find out more details."

"Wouldn't it be enough to just find that girl?"

"That's exactly the problem!" Clan said seriously, "The one who saved the girl was the Chief Demon Hunter of the Inquisition, Hades Hunter Famura!"

Ye Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

The Hades Hunter, Famula, is a tough character in the Holy See who is no less ruthless than Hastings. To be more precise, she is even more difficult to deal with than Hastings.

Hastings works for the Vatican purely for the pleasure of holy war, or in other words, fighting is fun.

And Famula, a paranoid woman.

The witch who raised her was found guilty by the Inquisition and was shot dead by Famula herself.

Among the high-ranking officials of the Holy See, Famula is also ranked high, and it is believed that she is currently at the sixth-ring level.

Ye Zhi said cautiously: "If I remember correctly, Famula is the Inquisitor who led the [Demon Hunting Hammer] formation?"

"Yes." Crane said with a wry smile, "I have dealt with members of the Demon Hunting Hammer. To be honest, I would rather be friends with the warden of the Empire than get close to those executioners."

The Hammer of Demon Hunters is an extraordinary army that is as famous as the Winged Hussars under Hastings. It is notorious and has a uniform of plate armor, flails, and iron masks. It is also a hot weapons unit equipped with magic arquebuses.

Yeats remembered that the Hammer of the Demon Hunter did appear in the plot of the Tidecaller Cult. They slaughtered Portsmouth with thunder and blood, and no civilians survived. This caused the local lord to protest against the church army's unauthorized entry into the territory, but the lord soon died by suicide.

Unexpectedly, it was Famula who led the team herself... Ye Zhi frowned slightly... This woman was a tough villain in the plot, wearing a black leather jacket, spiked boots, an iron mask, and a wide-shouldered windbreaker, looking like an S queen.

He is bloodthirsty, paranoid, and has a bad personality, but he has a good-looking face and is very popular among the player community.

"The girl who escaped from the sacrificial ceremony has been under strict surveillance since she was rescued by Famula. I cannot find out more useful information." Clan said, "So, I plan to go to Portsmouth in person..."

After a pause, Crane said hesitantly, "Will you come with me, Your Excellency the Duke?"

Yeats still had to infiltrate the Dark Night Sect, so he refused:

"I will act alone and contact you if there is any situation. Thank you very much, Mr. Crane."

For some reason, Cran breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You are so polite. I will be waiting for your news at any time!"

Cut off text messages.

Ye Zhi played with the ever-changing mask in his hand, his eyes flickering as he analyzed calmly.

"The Dark Night Cult, the Tidecaller Cult, and the Hammer of the Demon Hunters, these three forces will fight in Portsmouth... The Dark Night Cult's target should be the [Heart of the Ocean], and Famula is also likely looking for this treasure."

"But the Heart of the Ocean is part of the Trident of Poseidon. This treasure is very dear to me..."

"Since Daisy asked me to infiltrate the Dark Night Sect, I might as well borrow the power of the Dark Night Sect and provoke a war between the Dark Night Sect and the Hammer of the Demon Hunter, so that I can fish in troubled waters."

"When the high priest of the Dark Night Sect fights Famula, I will find a way to get the Heart of the Ocean!"

"In this way, not only can I complete the Tricker's promotion ceremony, but I can also obtain the Tidecaller Staff and weaken the power of both the Dark Night Cult and the Hammer of the Demon Hunters... Kill three birds with one stone!"

Ye Zhi finally understood that the profession of trickster was all about deception, conspiracy and intrigue. Even the promotion ceremony was extremely complicated! "It's not a big problem."

Ye Zhi looked up at the sky and said, "As long as I can disguise myself as the head chef of the Dark Night Sect, with my cooking skills, I am not afraid of not being able to take down the high priest of the Dark Night Sect!"

*In the underground temple, purple curtains flutter in the wind.

The candlelight was dim, and the air was filled with the fragrance of orchids. The veiled priestess stood outside the curtain and whispered:

"High Priest, we have discovered the whereabouts of the Heart of the Ocean. It is in the hands of the Six-Ringed Merman King off the coast of Plymouth."

A vague figure was seen half-covered by the purple curtain, lazily leaning on the scented pillow, and the voice was as soft as the night wind.

"In that case, let's get ready to set off for Plymouth..."

The scent of rosemary is dizzying, and even more tempting is the vaguely visible figure, with a slender hand on the forehead, and the face behind the curtain is fascinating even in the dark.

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

The priest whispered, "But there is a poisonous snake in the dark night that has entangled us. You know, it is very tricky..."

"Hey, Famula."

There was a slight sound of silk texture, and the figure slowly stood up, and used slender fingers to push aside the curtain.

The high priest of the Dark Night Cult was dressed in a purple robe that was gorgeous and soft, fitting her slender figure. He had delicate amethysts on his wrists and neck that swayed gently with his steps.

Margotha ​​Tess has a high nose bridge, full red lips, and long eyebrows, the curved curve of which adds a bit of majesty and mystery.

"The Heart of the Ocean is a sacrifice to the Goddess of Darkness. We must obtain it."

The high priest's gaze was deep and sharp, his rare dark purple pupils glowed with gem-like light, his long hair, thick as night, fluttered gently, and he was filled with a terrifying aura of magic.

"If Famula dares to hinder our plans... I will take action against her!"

At the same moment, violent shadows faintly gathered at the tips of her dark purple nails.

The priest shuddered.

The high priestess's talent in shadow magic is one in a million. The terrible thing is that sometimes even she herself cannot control this restless power.

This moody, cold, and noble high priest is an authoritarian figure in the Dark Night Sect, possessing irresistible majesty and temptation.

"High Priest, please calm down." The priest lowered his head and said, "I will continue to inquire about Famula's movements... In addition, there are some matters in the sect waiting for your decision..."

Under the cover of the purple curtain, Margotha ​​crossed her slender legs beside the bed. Her purple robe exuded a faint fragrance. She said lightly, "Talk to me about this after dinner."

"What I want to report to you is related to food..." the priest said awkwardly, "Just today, the food chef who used to be the head chef of the sect was found to be a spy from the Mist Sect who infiltrated our sect."

Margotha ​​frowned slightly.

"How many days has that spy been lying dormant?"

"Two days. It should be that yesterday, the Mist believer disguised himself as the original chef. He was discovered this morning, but the original chef has also disappeared." The priest asked:

"Right now, the position of head chef in the sect is still vacant. Do we need to transfer a qualified food chef from the sect headquarters?"

Margosha thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "That's fine. The grand ceremony of the Dark Night Goddess cannot be without the participation of the Food Master... However, this time we must strictly check their identities and there can be no more mistakes!"

The priest said, "Don't worry, unless the Mist Goddess herself casts an illusion, no Mist believers will sneak in!"

Margotha ​​nodded slightly, stood up and said, "There's no guarantee that the other chefs might not be spies of the Mist Cult... I'd better cook myself."

"I will prepare some food for you as well." Margosha said softly to the priest.

The priestess's face changed, cold sweat dripped down her face, and her voice became trembling: "Thank you, thank you, High Priest..."

The high priest is a master at making poison, and he also follows the same method in cooking. His cooking skills...it's hard to describe!

"By the way, remember to choose a chef who is qualified in food this time."

Margotha ​​warned: "Although I don't ask to satisfy the Goddess of Dark Night...but at least make me satisfied!"

* Morningfrost Ridge, Swordwinterhold.

It has been nearly a week since Gray returned to Dragon Country.

During this period, the Black Knight once again performed miracles on the chessboard in the Absolute Mountains, and asked her beloved horse, Faran, to carry Hildreth to her temple to help her digest the experience of her training in the North in order to break through the bottleneck of the six rings.

The Black Knight said that this time, Hildreth's "retreat" will last for about two to three months.

"Her talent is one of the best among all the knights I have ever seen, so it is only natural for her to be promoted to the sixth ring." The black knight said, "But you, Ye Zhi..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"With your talent, you are not suitable for practicing combat skills. However, in just over a year, you have advanced from the first ring to the fifth ring." The Black Knight exclaimed, "It's really a miracle..."

Ye Zhi: “…”

It's obviously a compliment to me, but why can't I be happy? After all, Hildreth is the chosen one of the Black Knights. With the help of the Black Knights, I believe that after the retreat is over, he will be able to enter the realm of a master.

By then, Xilude will also be able to occupy a place among the top strong men on the continent.

Yeats also felt a sense of urgency. The most urgent thing was to complete the promotion ceremony set by Daisy! In late February, on a foggy day, Daisy arrived unexpectedly.

"I've already figured out how to get you into the Dark Night Sect." Daisy said seriously.

Ye Zhi asked curiously, "What method?"

Daisy said: "I will let you serve as the new head chef of the Dark Night Sect as a food chef!"

Ye Zhi: “…”

Send soup?
