Chapter 346: The old woman teases the young man, the Ring of the Nibelung, and today's meal in the Kingdom of Shadows (10,000)

Two days had passed since that stormy night in Plymouth.

Yeats had not slept for three days and three nights.

In addition, after experiencing many battles in succession, even with a six-ring level, his spirit was on the verge of limit and he urgently needed a sleep to relieve the fatigue deep in his soul.

Although the shadow world is dark and isolated from the material plane.

The Shadow Castle, located in the center of Shadow City, retains the characteristics of human architecture. The interior decoration is mainly in black and dark purple tones, and the furnishings are luxurious and comfortable.

The reason why the Castle of Shadows can satisfy Ye Zhi, a human being, is because the Queen of Shadows, Skah, was once a human being.

As early as a thousand years ago in the Old Era, human civilization had developed to the height of the Middle Ages. However, until the 15th century of the Holy Calendar, the quality of facilities in cities, streets, and castles may not have caught up with that of the Ancient Empire. This is why the bards called the Ancient Empire the 'Golden Age' and belittled the present as the 'Dark Age'.

Yeats's room is located on the top floor of the Shadow Castle. Dark curtains cover the four-poster bed covered with purple velvet, making it as noble as the imperial royal "Purple Room".

The dome is covered with a layer of darkness, which can be dispelled with one's mind, revealing the dazzling galaxy above the dome.

In the kingdom of darkness, although there is no bright moonlight, there are magnificent stars.

Witnessed the battle between two powerful Saint Realm masters, and obtained the [Judgment Heritage] that night.

Under the guidance of Skach, Yeats came to his bedroom, admired the starry sky dome, and then fell asleep, completely losing the concept of time.

It was not until Skach forcibly lifted Yeats's quilt that Yeats woke up from his half-sleep.

"Get up and practice shooting!"

On Skach's cold face, his purple eyes were filled with irresistible majesty. He grabbed a corner of the quilt with one hand and said, "It's already daybreak, don't be lazy!"

"It's... dawn?" Ye Zhi looked up at the pitch-black dome in bewilderment, "Where is the light?"

It's pitch black, nothing can be seen clearly! "When the stars sink, the light fades, and everything is in darkness, it is the dawn of the Kingdom of Shadows."

Skach said calmly: "A day's plan begins in the morning. I have prepared a training plan for you today. You just need to follow my steps."

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, gradually came to his senses, and nodded slowly.

The Queen of Shadow is tasked with guiding the Chosen of Dark Night.

She is not only a master of spearmanship with extraordinary skills, but also a master of both magic and martial arts. She has amazing attainments in the fields of dark night magic and runes.

Having Baiskaher as a teacher is something that countless demigod heroes dream of.

If he had not been so lucky as to become the Chosen One of the Dark Night, he would not have received special attention from Queen Xiaose Yemu.

Ye Zhi was not sure how long he would stay in this dark shadow world, but he was sure that the opportunity to learn from Skahe was something he could not miss! As for the outside world.

Yeats was somewhat worried about Helena's current situation.

After he disappeared out of thin air in Plymouth, the Dark Night Sect would surely fall into chaos for a while, and Helena, whom he had rescued with his own hands, would also be in an awkward situation.

Originally, Ye Zhi planned to push forward the original plan as soon as he became God's chosen one, to let Helena join the Temple of Poseidon and help her ascend to the throne of the high priest of the Temple of Poseidon.

But now, leaving the film industry is still a problem, and Helena's plan can only be put on hold temporarily.

Fortunately, before Yeats left, he entrusted Helena to the priest Chloe.

There aren't many good people in the Dark Night Sect.

Margosa and Chloe, the master-servant-and-friend pair, count as two.

With Chloe's care, Helena at least wouldn't be locked up.

After all, Magosa has been the High Priestess of Darkness for so long, and her ability to coordinate the overall situation is first-class.

During the time when the Dark Night Chosen disappeared, she was still able to evacuate the Dark Night Cult from Plymouth.

Ye Zhi deduced that Magosa had probably already begun preparations for the construction of the plane array in order to welcome the return of the Chosen One of Dark Night.

"Having said that, you still can't stay in the film industry for too long. Three months is the maximum limit..."

Ye Zhi silently set a deadline for himself.

Three months was enough time for Ye Zhi to make great progress and consolidate his strength and vision in the realm of a six-ring master! Ye Zhi had just become a six-ring master, and a vast new world was unfolding before him.

After all, Ye Zhi had achieved extraordinary things, but it had only been less than two years, so he lacked a lot of experience. Both his combat skills and magic needed further polishing before he could be invincible when facing the Six-Ring Master.

There are many things that I originally needed to figure out on my own, but now I can ask Queen Xiao Se Ye Mou for advice and avoid many detours.

It can be said that every word of Skach contains thousands of years of wisdom and insights, which are enough to benefit Yeats a lot! Thousands of years... I couldn't help but think about the teacher's age.

Yeats was in a delicate mood.

I don't know who is older, Zuan Ya or the teacher! Ye Zhi's soul of seeking death was burning.

The drill tooth should be bigger, after all, it is the evil little squirrel who has been fanning the flames since the beginning of creation.

Compared with Feitan? Well... the teacher is probably older than the fish of wisdom...

"How long are you going to be stunned?"

Skach frowned slightly, his tone already holding a hint of displeasure.

"Right away!" Yeats said.

Whether he can take advantage of the opportunity to learn in the film industry and deepen his friendship with Skach will determine whether he can get on Skach's good side.

If I can eat Skach's "free rice"... I can add another fierce general when I call for people in the future! The Queen of Xiaose Yemou is beautiful, but that's not the key. The key is that she likes to practice shooting! Last night, Ye Zhi slept in her clothes, quickly dressed, and used the Dark Night God to cast a [Dark Night Blessing·Night Spirit Clothes] on herself.

This is another blessing that Ye Zhi obtained in addition to [Eternal Darkness] after becoming the Chosen One of Dark Night. It has excellent concealing aura and protective effects.

From the outside, it is a robe as deep as the night, and its texture is as smooth and delicate as silk. Upon closer inspection, the black color reflects a soft glow, as gorgeous as the feathers of a raven.

The consumption of [Dark Night Spirit Robe] is very small, and the dark night divinity in Ye Zhi's body is inexhaustible, so he can keep the spirit robe activated at any time.

Staring at the handsome young man, Skach nodded imperceptibly. Judging from human aesthetics, he was indeed extraordinary. He said, "The illusion on you can be lifted."

Glancing at Ye Zhi's hesitant expression, Skach's purple eyes contained a glimmer of insight into people's hearts. In the tone of a strict teacher, he taught: "I am not interested in your background and purpose. It is enough to know that you are the Chosen One of the Dark Night. Setting up defenses against me will only affect our training progress. Such a result is not ideal."

Sooner or later, his true face will be revealed in front of Skach.

Yeats thought about it and lifted the illusion that Daisy had cast on him.

The black hair turned to silver, and the melancholy and introverted aura turned into a resolute and sunny demeanor.

"It's much better looking than before."

Skach commented lightly, hugged the magic spear, turned around and left Ye Zhi with a perfect back view, and said, "Follow me."

"Teacher, would you like to have some breakfast first?"

Ye Zhi's instinct as a chef came into play again and he asked.

"breakfast……"

Skach seemed to be unfamiliar with this word. He struggled to recall it for a moment before finding the corresponding thing from his ancient and dusty memory. He turned around and said:

"As for food, I usually only drink some shadow wine made from twilight berries at night. Um... taking food in the morning will also affect your training. I will eat with you at night."

Yeats saw that Skach had not communicated with living people for a long time. For many daily words, Skach had to think for a while before she could recall the specific meaning. This was closely related to her lifespan of a thousand years.

Having said that.

Ye Zhi looked up at the sky, feeling a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

Now we can use ingredients from the Shadow Realm to make dinner! Shadow Pond Fish, Black Crystal Honey, Shadow Ant Eggs, Void Fungus, Shadow Crabs... These are all rare and precious materials in the material plane. Not only can they be used to make potions, but they also taste great when made into food! It's time to feed the teacher some food to improve his favorability! "Ye Zhi... How old are you this year?"

In the courtyard at night, Skach, wearing dark purple armor, holding a magic spear, with purple hair flying, walked in front of Ye Zhi and looked back to ask.

A soldier's age has a great relationship with his combat skills and training methods. Understanding his age can also help him teach better according to his aptitude. This is the detailed consideration that an excellent mentor will make.

"Almost seventeen."

Ye Zhi paused for a moment, unable to suppress the burning desire to commit suicide, and asked back:

"Where's the teacher?"

Ye Zhi clearly saw that Skach's steps slowed down for a moment, then returned to normal, and he said in a somewhat stiff tone:

"Bigger than you."

"How much bigger?"

Bang! Ye Zhi was knocked away by a shadow wolf that suddenly appeared.

Sneak attack!

The unsportsmanlike Shadow Wolf seemed to be controlled by Skach himself, and with the force of a chariot, it sent Ye Zhi, the six-ring master, flying!

No, there is no doubt about it. Ye Zhi fell to the ground, grinning. This must be the instruction from the teacher! "These shadow wolves are the targets for you to practice today."

Skach's eyes were sharp, and she raised her gun in a gorgeous pattern. She pointed her thorn magic gun at the three shadow wolves that were approaching her in a corner, and said coldly:

"I require you to seal your soul realm first, practice your basic skills, and start from the most basic details..."

The gun was like lightning, whizzing through the wind and instantly blasting the heads of the three shadow wolves, killing the shadow beasts into shattered phantoms.

In less than a breath, that amazing spearmanship was beyond Ye Zhi's comprehension. Even the Blood Spider Duke, who was known for his spearmanship, was nothing in front of Skach! Ye Zhi couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Coach, I want to learn how to use a spear! Skah rolled up her purple hair in a chic manner. A beautiful and noble figure was reflected in Ye Zhi's eyes. She said calmly, "I have roughly understood your current state in the soul realm... I will first teach you the six-ring combat skill [Shadow Spear Penetration]. The key point of this skill is to activate the divinity of the dark night, create a phantom clone, and you can exchange positions with the clone at any time to perform a powerful penetration..."

"When the time is right, I will teach you the method of [Shadow Step]. This is much more advanced than the [Blend into the Shadow] you are using now..."

Listening to Skach's patient instructions, Ye Zhi's heart was moved, and his heart was pounding as he looked at her slender fingers holding up her purple hair.

The old woman teased the young man's hair and made him crazy.

Thank you, Master, I will never say you are old unless I can't help it! Immediately, Skahe summoned three shadow wolves again and asked Ye Zhi to fight back with the spear according to her instructions.

Ye Zhi has a certain foundation in spear skills. Although not as good as swordsmanship, he has already reached the level of an expert and can wield the Mad Lion Halberd and the Blood King Spear with ease.

But in Skach's eyes, Yeats's actions were still full of loopholes, and he could always give precise and constructive advice, which made Yeats suddenly enlightened.

Time passes quietly.

The crimson night sky rose, and the kingdom of night was shrouded in a starry sky, which was much more beautiful than the dim darkness and silence of the "daytime".

Yeats was exhausted, his arms ached, and he could hardly lift his fingers.

Looking at Ye Zhi who was out of breath, the stern and dignified Queen of the Night Eyes smiled and said gently: "You have worked hard... Go back and have a rest. I will take you to taste it, uh——"

"Dinner," Yeats said.

"Well, dinner." Skach nodded slightly and explained, "I don't use this word often."

"understand."

Yeats smiled and said:

"Otherwise, teacher, I'll prepare a dinner for you!"

Skach was slightly startled, and said, "The creatures in the Shadow Plane are different from those in the Material Plane. They do not have the materials you are familiar with."

"It's no problem." Ye Zhi said confidently, "I stir-fry the ingredients from the film industry the same way!"

Skah's strength has reached the point where he no longer needs to eat, but as a former human, he still occasionally satisfies his appetite.

The stars are rolling.

Castle of Shadows.

A stern figure was leaning against a window in the thick stone wall, gazing at the deep starry sky.

The shadow wine in the glass glowed with a dim purple light and exuded a rich violet aroma. The night breeze gently caressed Skah's purple hair. She gently shook the wine glass, savoring the unique bitter and lonely taste of Twilight Grapes. She caught a glimpse of a figure walking behind her.

"Master... ahem, teacher!"

Ye Zhi, holding a plate covered with a bell-shaped jar, changed the topic and said, "It's time to eat!"

Skach sat down elegantly at the long dining table.

This decorative dining table has not been used for thousands of years. The reason why the restaurant is kept in the castle is entirely because the Shadow Castle was built according to the castle in Skah's memory.

Thousands of years ago, so long that even Skahj herself could not remember, she was a princess of a human kingdom in the old era. Later, because of her outstanding talent, she was promoted to a subordinate god by the Goddess of Darkness. She buried a group of evil gods with her magic spear, and was crowned the Queen of Night.

The magic spear stood beside her, with a murderous aura. Skach put his hands on his chin, looked at the plate of food that Yezhi brought to the table with interest, and asked:

"What's this?"

“Stir-fried void fungi!”

Ye Zhi opened the bell jar, and a rich fungal aroma filled the air along with the surging purple light.

The slices of Void Fungus on the plate were shining with golden light, and the fungus was glowing with unpredictable green, purple and blue colors, like the mysterious void. It was a strange fungus that grew in the shadow world and absorbed shadows, but it tasted quite fresh and tender.

It is a bit similar to the Atractylodes macrocephala that Yeats tasted in his previous life... After this mushroom is cut, the flesh will turn indigo blue. If it is eaten without being cooked, you will see "little people dancing". It is very famous.

The void fungi from the material plane are the ingredients for the potions of the sixth-ring illusionist, and since the shadow world is isolated from the material realm, this thing will never appear on the market.

Ye Zhi didn't dare to bring too many void fungi back, fearing that Skacher would be unhappy, but he still brought some and put them in his space bag...

If the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be harvested! Scach was stunned. She had lived in the Shadow Realm for many years, so she naturally knew the source of the mushroom. It was in the Shadow Jungle near the Shadow Castle, where she had trained Ye Zhi in spearmanship today.

Skaha knew that Void Fungus could be made into a delicacy, but she was the only one who had survived in the Shadow Realm for thousands of years. She was not very keen on food and would not go to great lengths to get Void Fungus.

However, looking at the familiar ingredients being made into golden, attractive, fragrant delicacies, Skach couldn't help but feel a little curious and glanced at Yeats: "Can I taste it now?"

"Of course, go ahead!"

Skach sat upright on the obsidian seat, his night-colored eyes calmly gazing at a piece of void fungus pierced by a fork, then he raised his hand gracefully and put it into his mouth.

moment.

The unique and delicious taste quickly burst out on Skach's tongue.

Skach closed his eyes lightly, and before his eyes appeared the illusion of thousands of elves dancing in the dark jungle like fireflies, and a hint of surprise emerged in his heart.

This eating skill... can actually make me hallucinate.

After a moment, Skach slowly opened his eyes, with a rare hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Teacher, how is it?" Ye Zhi was a little nervous.

Skach put down the cutlery, his face remaining cool and dignified, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Your accomplishments in food are beyond my expectations."

Her voice was still cold, but revealed a hint of softness, and she said softly, "Very good."

Yeats breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, even his qualification to be chosen by the Dark Night God was obtained by cooking...

Everyone who has tried it says it’s good!

Afterwards, Yeats presented Skach with a black crystal honey salad, which was made from the shadow world's unique plants, such as twilight grapes, night shadow flowers, and shadow flame grass, and topped with black crystal honey.

This honey is dark purple in color and is brewed by the black crystal bees in the shadow world who collect night shadow nectar. It has the visual effect of burning purple shadow flames and has the effect of enhancing the night vision ability of extraordinary people.

Skach tasted the salad and nodded slowly, with a hint of surprise in his tone: "How... do you know so much about the Shadow World?"

"The Dark Night Sect in the human world already has many records about the Shadow World. After thousands of years of accumulation, there is also a thick pile of documents." Ye Zhi lied.

Skach was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly realized the passage of time, and sighed softly: "That's right, after all, thousands of years have passed in the human world..."

Ye Zhi was about to say something when he suddenly felt Skacher's sharp gaze and choked.

I haven't said anything yet! Why did you suddenly interrupt the spell?

Skach lowered his purple eyes slightly, took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his lips with graceful movements, and said lightly:

"From now on, I will lead you in shooting practice in the morning, and when night falls, you will serve me a dish... It would be best if there is something new every day, okay?"

Ye Zhi was stunned.

Skach glanced over with a cold look.

Yeats made a prompt decision:

"no problem!"

Yeats thought of the classic fairy tale "One Thousand and One Nights". Others told the king a different story every night, but he would cook a different shadow dish for Skach every day!

Skach nodded slightly, stood up, turned around and said:

"Rest. I'll come see you tomorrow morning."

She floated away with the scent of violets, and Yeats caught a glimpse of a barely perceptible smile on the corner of her mouth.

While enjoying the aftertaste.

In my mind, the voice of Zuanya sighed.

"This isn't the Night Eyes Queen, this is the Night Snack Queen."

Ye Zhi's face changed slightly.

Zuanya, if you want to die, don't take me with you!

*The Material Plane.

In the dead silent forest of Roland Kingdom, there is a deep Shadow Lake. The surface of the lake is as dark as the bottomless abyss. There is no living thing and dark ripples are rippling.

A raven with black feathers flew over, landed on the surface of the lake, and actually dissolved into the water, with its shadow quickly approaching the bottom of the lake.

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

A faint light appeared from the deep cracks at the bottom of the lake, and dark shadows penetrated into it. At the bottom of the dark pool of water, there was an ancient temple, covered with a dark barrier on the outside, and traces of purple runes flowed.

Dark Night Sect, Dark Night Temple.

"High Priest!"

The shadow passed through a long corridor and came to a hall with an altar. It fell to the ground, revealing a figure wearing a dark purple robe.

Chloe's true face was hidden under the veil. She looked at the charming figure above the altar and asked nervously, "Is there any news about the Chosen One?"

Margosha turned around, her beautiful face looking slightly haggard, and shook her head gently:

"No... It's been almost a week since the Black Sun came, and I still haven't received any response from the Shadow World."

After the stormy night in Plymouth ended, the news was immediately blocked by the Royal Guards who arrived late.

The reason why the Lionheart did not send out a Six-ring warrior when such a major disaster occurred was that, firstly, the local lord of Plymouth was not a vassal of the Lionheart, and the time for the Lionheart to receive the news was greatly delayed. Secondly, the Lionheart had already been seriously ill, and Margotha ​​speculated that he could not even survive until the end of summer.

As for the Vatican, the elite force 'Demon Hunting Hammer' was almost wiped out in this operation.

Even Famula, one of the three giants, was seriously injured and on the verge of death. This was a great humiliation for the Holy See, and there was no possibility of releasing the news.

The Crusaders led by Hastings immediately began searching for the whereabouts of the Dark Night Sect, but Magosa was cunning and had led the remaining troops to leave Plymouth early, cross the channel, and retreat to the Dark Night Temple base in the heart of the Kingdom of Roland.

This week, Margotha ​​has been trying to establish communication with the film industry through rituals, but to no avail.

Even though the hope was slim, the Dark Night God's Chosen One was related to the rise and fall of the entire Dark Night Sect, so Magosa had to devote all her energy and attention! Chloe looked at the purple flames surging on the altar, the expensive ritual vessels and incense made of high-ring magic beast materials placed on the altar, and asked: "Then should we continue to try to send a message to the Shadow Realm? Or should we prepare for the construction of a new magic circle?"

"The preparation work for the plane array is too arduous. According to conservative estimates, it will take three years to open the passage between the shadow world and the material plane again, and it will also cause great damage to the sect's vitality..."

Margosha showed a trace of bitterness on her face. She took a deep breath, and the helplessness in her eyes turned into determination:

"But it has come to the point where we have no choice. In order for the Dark Night's Chosen to come back alive, we have no choice but to do this!"

Originally he was just a novice food chef, but now he has become the chosen one of God that the entire sect relies on.

Chloe couldn't help but feel deep emotion and respect.

Ye Zhi's face appeared in her mind. Chloe remembered the task he had given her and asked, "High Priest, the chosen one risked his life to save the blood of the sea god. What should Helena do with it?"

Margosha rubbed her brows and said:

"It was the Lord Chosen who decided to support Helena to the throne of the High Priestess of the Shanghai Temple. Even if he can't come back for several years, we must carry it out."

"For now, let her stay with you... continue to take care of her and don't let her get scared."

"yes."

Chloe's eyes moved slightly, recalling the moments she had spent with Helena over the past few days, and said:

"Helena is a kind girl. She has always been concerned about the safety of the Chosen One, but the secret of the Chosen One being trapped in the Shadow World... must be hidden from her!"

Margotha ​​nodded slightly.

suddenly.

A strange and cold aura quickly spread in the temple.

A strange color flashed in Magosa's eyes. She looked back and saw the purple flame in the basin bursting up violently, with billowing black smoke! "High Priest!"

Chloe was surprised:

"What is going on!"

Margosha was stunned for a moment, and the shock in her eyes quickly turned into surprise. She said, "It's a reply from the film industry!"

Between the two planes, the magic network communication is completely ineffective, and communication can only be carried out through rituals and other means.

This Shadow Flame Ritual can ignite the same flame in the shadow world and use the swaying of shadows to convey some short messages, like Morse code.

Chloe held her breath, not daring to disturb Margosa who was concentrating.

After staring at the changes in Shadow Flame for a long time, Margotha ​​slowly exhaled, with a gleam of hope in her eyes.

"High Priest? Is there any news from the shadow world?" Chloe asked tentatively.

A long-lost smile appeared on Margosha's face. She translated the information conveyed by Shadow Flame and said:

"This is the news sent back by the Chosen One... His life is not in danger in the Shadow Realm, and he said that he has a way to leave the Shadow Realm."

"I can leave the shadow world by myself?" Chloe was shocked. "How... is this possible?"

Margosha shook her head and said, "I don't know what the method he mentioned is, but he must have his own secrets."

"So, we don't need to prepare the plane formation anymore?" Chloe said.

"We still have to make a backup plan." Margosha groaned, "We'll observe for a while, and I'll continue to send messages to the Shadow World. During this time, go collect the materials needed for the formation!"

"Yes, sir!"

Chloe paused for a moment and said, "High Priest, there is one more thing about the Moonlight Sect."

Mentioning this old enemy of many years, Margotha ​​narrowed her eyes slightly, her cheeks covered with frost, and said coldly:

"What did those old guys on Tsukishima do again?"

"The spies reported that the Moonlight Cult has learned of the arrival of the Chosen One of Dark Night and has also begun preparing for the Chosen One Ceremony."

"They plan to pray for the Moonlight God's Chosen One to come on the full moon night that only occurs once in a thousand years in half a year!"

The Dark Night Cult and the Moonlight Cult have been fighting for a hundred years, and their spies have long since infiltrated each other.

But the Dark Night Sect is better at hiding after all, and in terms of intelligence, the Dark Night Sect always has the advantage.

This time, the spy brought back important news.

"【Moonlight God's Choice】?"

Margotha ​​smiled coldly.

"How can we just watch them allow the Moonlight Chosen to come and become a thorn in the side of the Chosen One?"

Chloe said: "High Priest, what you mean is..."

"The Moonlight Chosen Ceremony must be destroyed!"

Margosha narrowed her eyes, a cold light flashed across them, and said: "Since the Lord Chosen by Dark Night is confident that he can escape from the Shadow Realm, then... his attainments in Dark Night magic are definitely better than mine..."

"If necessary, I will ask Lord Chosen of Dark Night to personally take action and teach these Moon God followers a lesson!"

*Film industry.

Shadow Castle, the top floor temple.

The purple flames in the huge brazier burned fiercely, casting ever-changing shadows on the stone walls.

The firelight danced in a pair of purple eyes as deep as the night. Skach raised his eyelids and looked at Ye Zhi beside the brazier, and whispered: "It seems that the Dark Night believers in the material plane hope that you can go back soon..."

Yeats has been staying in the film world for a week, and during this week he has cooked many delicious dishes for Scaher in various ways.

During training, Ye Zhi, out of his desire to improve his strength as quickly as possible, practiced spearmanship very diligently. All his performances caught the eyes of the strict teacher Skach, who nodded from time to time.

Diligent students are always more likely to be favored by strict teachers.

Skah's favorability bar has risen significantly, which is directly reflected in the tone of her daily conversations.

The indifferent tone was replaced by a gentle tone and occasional concern.

The master has a scent of violets on his body, as mysterious as the night.

Ye Zhi looked at the purple-haired beauty's profile under the firelight, calmed himself down, and said truthfully: "I really can't stay in the film industry for too long... Three months is the final deadline."

Skach looked at Ye Zhi deeply and said, "But when to leave the shadow world is not determined by your personal will."

What this means is that Ye Zhi will have to wait until the plane channel is arranged in the outside world before he can leave this kingdom of shadows.

"How long did the previous Dark Night Chosen usually stay in the film industry?" Ye Zhi asked.

A trace of reminiscence flashed across Skah's night-colored eyes, and he slowly said, "In the past, a cold-hearted girl found me and followed me to learn spearmanship. About two or three years later, the plane rift opened, and I personally sent her away from the Kingdom of Night..."

Ye Zhi thought of a human girl who was once chosen by the Goddess of Dark Night and Moonlight, and asked curiously, "What happened next?"

"Later, she was guided by the moonlight..."

Skach lowered his eyes, and there was a hint of regret in his voice, which never easily revealed emotions: "Kindness makes people weak, and indifference makes people numb; weakness breeds meanness, and numbness breeds unkindness... She was entangled in the completely different paths of dark night and moonlight, and finally... fell into madness."

Ye Zhi was stunned.

"I killed her myself," Skach said softly.

The sound was like the night wind, causing the purple flame in the brazier to sway constantly, the room temperature became icy cold, and the shadows on the stone wall enveloped Ye Zhi.

In the dead silence, Yeats looked at Skach's slender shoulders and suddenly forgot that she was a warrior with a thousand-year lifespan who killed gods.

Putting his hand on Skach's shoulder, Ye Zhi said in a gentle voice: "Teacher, you don't have to blame yourself... You just made the right choice."

The next moment, Ye Zhi quickly retracted his hand, regretting that he should not have been so abrupt. He might have been shot by the purple old woman with the magic gun!

at the same time.

Skach raised his midnight eyes, his pupils glowing with a faint light, calm and sharp, with loneliness and majesty.

She clasped her hands across her chest in purple armor, hugging a dark and cold magic spear. She glanced at Ye Zhi's fingers, then fixed her eyes on his slightly embarrassed face.

There was a long moment of dead silence.

Scach gave a gentle smile.

"If one day... you also come to a similar situation, falling into paranoia and madness on two completely opposite paths, Yeats."

"No matter where you are, I will find you..."

Skach's midnight purple eyes were filled with a deep cold light, and there was a hint of a smile on the corners of his mouth.

"Then, I will deliver you the death that is destined for you."

Ye Zhi's hair stood on end, he shuddered, and complained:

"Teacher, don't say such terrible things with a smile on your face!"

Just like ice and snow melting, the corners of Queen Xiaose Yemu's eyes curved up, with a gentle glimmer in her eyes. She smiled softly and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm just talking about a possibility... By the way, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

She held the magic spear with her hands behind her back, placing the pitch-black spear behind her, and raised her cheeks slightly. The expectation revealed on her beautiful face made Ye Zhi fall into a trance for a moment.

Master...so cute!

"Hmm?" Skach tilted his head slightly.

Ye Zhi came back to his senses and coughed lightly:

"I'll make dinner in a minute. There's a dessert made of shadow ant eggs wrapped in shadow spider silk. It's going to be delicious."

"Is this...is this really edible?"

The thousand-year-old Queen of the Shadow World listened to the very impactful dish names announced by Ye Zhi, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, and said in amazement.

"Yes!" Ye Zhi nodded seriously.

Skach looked at Yeats for a moment, sighed helplessly, and said, "Well... you are the food master, I will trust you."

After delivering the message to the material plane, the two left the attic where the shadow flames burned together and walked up the spiral staircase cast in the shadows of the stone walls.

Ye Zhi had not yet figured out how to explain to Skach that he wanted to leave the Kingdom of Shadows by passing through the underworld.

After all, even for Queen Xiao Se Ye Mou, being able to travel through the underworld with just six rings is truly a fantasy!

[Blessing: Telepathy] can still keep in touch with Gray and Hilde directly, so that they don't have to worry about their situation... It just gives me a sense of déjà vu of some scumbag.

Ye Zhi coughed dryly and thought to himself, I want to be the king of gigolos!

"Hurry up and catch up."

Skach's voice came faintly from the front, with a hint of urging.

I can see that you are really hungry, the queen of midnight snacks! Ye Zhi shook his head, followed Skarcher, and asked: "Teacher, besides crossing the plane channel, is there any other way to return directly from the shadow world to the material plane?"

Even someone as powerful as Skach could not easily cross the boundary between planes. She thought for a moment and slowly spoke:

"The Shadow Realm is connected to the Underworld, and the Gate to the Underworld is connected to the Far North of the Midgard Continent."

"But the underworld is more dangerous than the shadow world. With your strength, going to the underworld is just a matter of life and death..."

Yeats nodded in agreement.

According to common sense, this is indeed the case. The underworld is the domain of the goddess of death, and he is not familiar with the goddess of death, so she will not show leniency to him.

But the Messenger God and the Goddess of Death have a connection. To put it simply, one of the Messenger God's chosen gods died in the underworld while delivering a letter. The God of Death owed the Messenger God a favor and gave Medes the winged boots, which enabled him to fly freely in the underworld.

With this treasure, one can easily fly over many dangerous areas in the underworld, and finally, as long as one passes through the gate of the underworld, one can see the sun in the world of the living.

Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell.

Although he has a notorious reputation, he is famously stupid in the plot.

Mortals do not know the temper of the three-headed dog of hell. When they see its terrifying appearance, they are frightened and dare not cross the boundary between life and death.

In fact, the three-headed dog of Hell will turn a blind eye if you offer it a few delicious honey cookies.

Yeats thought to himself:

"With my food skills... it's easy to get on good terms with the three-headed dog of Hell!"

Skach glanced at Ye Zhi who was deep in thought, thinking that he was worried about being trapped in the Kingdom of Night forever, and said gently: "I have a [Night Mirror] that can force a plane channel to open, but it has not fully recovered after the last use. Conservatively speaking, it will take a year before the [Night Mirror] can be opened again."

As he spoke, Skach let out an imperceptible sigh.

"If it is the Ring of the Nibelung..."

She stopped talking and said nothing more, but it aroused Yezhi's curiosity even more. He followed behind Skahe and said:

"Teacher, what happened to the [Ring of the Nibelung]? Can it have any effect on the Shadow Realm?"

Zuan Ya once mentioned that the [Ring of the Nibelung], like the [Silver Oak Sword], belongs to the category of [Main Artifact], and its status is far superior to the Sword in the Lake.

According to Yeats's understanding in his previous life, this ring has the effect of controlling people's hearts.

But judging by what Skach said, this ring seems to have some unexpected effects! Ye Zhi's mind kept making associations. You know, the Black Knight had hinted that he should look for [King Solomon's Ring].

King Solomon once used his ring to control the devil, and even in the end he suffered the same disaster as all the previous ring holders. This description coincides with the Ring of the Nibelung!

Ye Zhi's breathing became a little faster. The Queen of Shadow Country obviously had a deeper understanding of this legendary magic ring! Whether this magic ring was destined to be with her depended on what kind of use it had! "Let's eat first."

Skach said calmly: "I will tell you only if it satisfies me."

Ye Zhi: “…”

Is it really okay to train the queen of the film industry to be a foodie...
