Chapter 349 Return and shock, "I win twice, it's a win-win situation!" (7K)

White Night City, reception room.

The dome is high, the crimson curtains are trailing on the ground, the long oak table is exquisitely carved and surrounded by high-backed chairs, and the room is filled with the scent of incense.

Colin had a solemn expression on his face, wearing silver armor and a dark red cloak. He stood behind Princess Theresa, who was wearing a snow-white dress, with an imperceptible look of surprise in his eyes.

The Duke of Honeysuckle is a powerful figure in the North. As the lord of the northern province, and with bards singing his stories, he has become a household name in the Kingdom of the Golden Lion.

Bards often like to exaggerate, comparing the Duke of Honeysuckle to a demigod hero in an epic poem, calling him the most legendary bard alive, the best in the continent! However, Colin had fought alongside Yeats and knew his strength.

A five-ring hero, a duke who is the backbone of the kingdom, is already qualified enough, but he still needs at least ten years of experience to reach the master realm that symbolizes the strongest person on the continent! However.

Master Colin, who was in charge of the legendary combat skill 'Dawnbreaker', glimpsed the faint aura emitted by Ye Zhi, and his pupils shrank, his heart filled with disbelief.

Is it my eyes that are blurring my vision? But the master's will that is overflowing in the invisible realm of creation cannot be false!

But...how is this possible?

It has only been a short time since he was promoted to a five-ring hero. How could he possibly become a master again?

Stop and gaze for a moment.

Colin firmly believed in his own judgment.

Duke Ye Zhi, he was truly promoted to a six-ring master!

Colin's face remained normal, but his breathing became rapid, his chest heaved, and a storm surged in his heart.

What happened during the months when the Duke of Honeysuckle disappeared? How could his strength have changed so dramatically?!

Colin couldn't wait to question Yeats face to face.

But on this visit, he was serving as Princess Theresa's bodyguard, and it would undoubtedly be an act of usurpation to speak rashly.

Take a deep breath.

Colin glanced at the princess with a gentle look in her eyes, forced himself to calm down, and nodded silently to Ye Zhi.

Seeing this.

Yeats smiled.

He deliberately released his Six Rings aura.

If not for this, with the cover of the Night Fighting Qi, Colin would not be able to see any clues.

The reason for revealing his strength is to prepare for the future cooperation with Colin.

As one of the few six-ring fighters in the Golden Lion Kingdom, Colin will become an important candidate to assist Theresa after Theresa ascends the throne. In front of him, the stronger the strength he shows, the more say he will have.

As for Theresa, with her current vision, she could not see the changes in Yeats' strength. She just felt that the Duke's spirit was more majestic than before, his voice was steady and powerful, and his whole body exuded an inviolable aura.

"Your Excellency the Duke, I came here to invite you to stay in the capital for a while."

Theresa's skin was as white as snow, her blonde hair was like a waterfall, and her voice was melodious. She said gently:

"Father misses you very much and wants to discuss something with you alone... It is not convenient for other dukes to know these words."

In the second half of the conversation, Theresa seemed to remember the current physical condition of the Lionheart King. Her eyelids drooped slightly, and a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes, which was keenly captured by Yeats.

As each other's confidant, Yeats quickly deduced the Lionheart's intention.

The royal capital has been the center of power struggles since ancient times, and the throne is often caught up in conspiracies and disputes when it is handed over.

Before ascending the throne, the king needs a noble with strong voice to escort Theresa's coronation.

If he only had the strength of five rings, Ye Zhi would still be a little hesitant, worried about whether he would encounter difficulties that he could not solve.

But as a six-ring master, even the national guardian beast, the Fiery Sun Fighting Lion, has to bow down to him! Fists are the hard truth, and power comes from the barrel of a gun! Ye Zhi thought to himself, I have secured the crown prince, Theresa. If I help her ascend the throne, I will be a hero who protects the country! Once the plan succeeds, even in the future struggles with the Church, other countries, and even alien races, the Golden Lion Kingdom will be an important backing for me! Facing Theresa's expectant eyes, Ye Zhi nodded to show his understanding and said, "After I finish the important matters at hand, I will rush to the capital in about a week!"

Relying on his advantage as a prophet, Ye Zhi had a vague premonition that this trip to the royal capital would allow him to personally participate in a power transformation.

But since he had already placed his bet on Theresa, he had to continue to participate... What's more, it was King Lionheart who went against all odds and promoted Yeats to the Duke.

To repay the kindness on the Golden Terrace, I will die for you with the Jade Dragon.

This is the path chosen by Yeats as a time traveler.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke."

Theresa breathed a sigh of relief, smiled softly, and said softly:

"Then I will not stay here any longer to bother you... I am in London, waiting for your visit."

Theresa's personal visit was, on the one hand, to invite Yeats to the royal capital, and on the other hand, to show her goodwill to the Duke as the Crown Princess.

"Your Highness must have many important matters to deal with. I cannot keep you here. I will come back to visit you in London." Yeats said politely.

Theresa nodded slightly and stood up gracefully.

At this time, Colin stepped forward and whispered a few words.

Theresa nodded, looked at Yeats, and said softly:

"Knight Colin still has something to ask you, Your Excellency the Duke. I will not disturb you two."

Theresa is an intelligent woman. Although she is of noble status and is the descendant of King Lionheart, she does not have the overbearing airs of a princess.

On the other hand, if one still thinks highly of himself in front of two masters, it would not be arrogance but stupidity.

After Theresa left.

Colin's face was stern. He walked silently to Yeats, hesitated for a long time, and said:

"Duke Yezhi...you...are already a six-ring master?"

"Haven't you figured it out?" Yeats asked back with a smile.

Colin hissed, his face unable to hide his surprise.

Even though he had already seen this, hearing Yeats say it himself still gave Colin a huge shock!

"How... did you... do that?"

Colin asked stumblingly, "I remember... you were still at the fifth ring a few months ago... This speed of promotion is unprecedented in the entire history!"

In less than half a year, he had jumped from the fifth ring to the sixth ring master. Even the reincarnation of Emperor Lorraine could not do it! Colin thought to himself that he really could not imagine how Yeats had accomplished this unprecedented feat.

Even the Lionheart King, who was lying on his sickbed, would be deeply moved upon hearing this shocking news!

Looking at the surprise in Colin's eyes, Yeats's thoughts raced.

If this question is left vague, Colin will inevitably associate himself with the "Chosen One of Dark Night" in the Plymouth incident.

Of course, the moment he revealed his six-ring strength, people were bound to suspect whether he had any connection with the "Chosen One of Dark Night".

After all, on the night of Plymouth, a human was forcibly promoted to the sixth ring under the black sun. This information was not only known to the church, but the Lionheart King must have also heard about it.

Wanting to make his strength public while reducing suspicion, Ye Zhi had already thought of a solution, which was to divert the target!

"Teacher Kendala..."

Yeats thought:

"I have to trouble you again to take the blame!"

Immediately.

Yeats looked at Colin deeply and said in a profound tone:

"You really want to know?"

Colin nodded vigorously.

Any extraordinary person would want to know the truth behind this terrifying promotion speed!

"You know, anything related to promotion is of utmost importance on the path to transcendence."

Yeats looked sincere:

"I can only tell you the truth if you swear to your faith that you will not reveal this matter."

"Of course, what you said makes sense, I understand it very well!"

Colin nodded and immediately cast an oath spell.

After confirming the effectiveness of the oath spell, Ye Zhi cleared his throat and said slowly:

"My teacher, Master Kendala, will soon become the first Saint Domain on the continent..."

Colin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened in bewilderment.

Ye Zhi spoke without thinking, and continued: "And it was with the help of my teacher that I was able to possess the power of the Six Rings!"

Both of these sentences are true.

When put together, it becomes a lie.

After all, Candela will truly become a sanctuary.

It was with the help of his teacher 'Skacher' that Yeats formally consolidated the six environmental realms.

The deception of the Sixth Ring Trickster, combined with the mental illusion of "Flawless Lie", was so flawless that even a master could not find any flaws.

Plus, Yeats’ words were well-reasoned and full of sincerity.

For a moment, Colin believed it without a doubt! Colin was stunned for a long time by this heavy news. He opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time. He pursed his lips and swallowed his saliva, muttering:

"So that's how it is..."

No wonder Duke Ye Zhi was able to be promoted at such an astonishing speed. It turned out that it was with the help of his Saint-level mentor!

Colin was horrified... And judging from what Duke Yeats said, the first Holy Domain will be born soon on the continent? This is too shocking! I have the obligation to submit a report to His Majesty the King, but I have sworn to Duke Yeats not to disclose it...

Colin looked troubled.

Ye Zhi saw it all and had already seen through his thoughts. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Excellency. I will go to London in person in a week and tell Your Majesty everything!"

Colin breathed a sigh of relief and sighed to himself.

Back then, in the Blood Spider Duke incident, Duke Yeats had already demonstrated his wisdom in strategizing.

He was trapped in the arms of Lord Blood Spider and couldn't extricate himself. It was only with the help of Duke Yeats's wake-up call that he suddenly woke up.

And now, the strength of Duke Yeats has reached the same level as mine! Colin saw Yeats's loyalty to His Majesty.

Whether it was wisdom or bravery, in every aspect, Colin was convinced by Yeats! Colin looked at him with admiration and said in a deep voice:

"The Duke's promotion to the Sixth Ring is a good thing for the entire Golden Lion Kingdom... Please rest assured that I will not break my oath and will be in London with Her Majesty the Princess, waiting for your arrival!"

Yeats nodded.

Before going to London, I still need to take care of some important matters.

These things are related to the Dark Night Sect.

His identity as the Chosen One of the Dark Night, the Dark Night Tower hidden in his storage ring, Helena and the Sea God Temple...

These matters all need to be handed over to the High Priestess of Dark Night, Magosa, in person before they can be properly handled...

Night falls.

Beside the stone window of the castle stood a handsome and tall young duke, looking down at the prosperous city. The night market was thriving under the light.

The roads in White Night City extend in all directions, making it more convenient to develop business than in Morning Frost Ridge, which is determined by the geographical location. Lena, the owner of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce, even moved the entire headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce to White Night City, injecting new vitality into the business of White Night City.

Currently, Ye Zhi's territory mainly includes: White Night City, Morning Frost Ridge, Whitefish Port, and Whale Watching Port. The principality has become almost an iron wall with the Great Wall and the Absolute Ridge Mountains as its barriers.

The reason why they focus on business is actually to prepare for the promotion of the Renaissance movement...

This movement can weaken the influence of the Church, revive faith in the gods of the old era, and provide the Goddess of Art with valuable power of faith.

Yeats had arranged for the valuable painter Miranti, who he had recruited earlier, to be responsible for the design and construction of the "Temple of Flowers, the Goddess of Art".

According to Yeats's idea, the temple adopts an octagonal dome design, just like the "Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore" in Florence in the past.

[The Temple of the Goddess of Art, Hundred Flowers] will become the first wonder in the territory! Ye Zhi remembered that the power of faith was also helpful to the strong men at the sanctuary level.

It is like the "patron saint" promoted by the Vatican. Carpenters have their patron saint, shoemakers have their patron saint, all in the name of absorbing the faith in a specific field.

Relying on his status as the initiator of the Renaissance movement, he will become a sanctuary in the future and gain faith from all over the continent! Under the dark night, Ye Zhi's eyes were deep, and the gentle voice of the head maid, Delphinium, came from behind: "My Lord Duke, Her Majesty the Princess and Knight Colin have returned to the capital."

"It's late at night, please go to bed early. The people of the territory still rely on your leadership..."

Ye Zhi nodded slightly and said:

"Delphinium, help me prepare a quiet room with a brazier and charcoal. I can use them."

Through the Shadowflame Ritual, it is possible to communicate with Magosa of the Cult of Darkness.

Although short message magic can also do it, the Shadow Flame Ceremony is a symbol of the identity of the Dark Night Sect, and the information conveyed is more credible.

"As you command." The green-haired head maid said softly and retreated.

After a moment.

In a quiet room.

The walls are thick, the candlelight flickers dimly, the bookshelves are tall, filled with ancient books, and dust is floating.

Yeats threw charcoal, nightshade flowers, black crow feathers, and obsidian crystals into the brazier, injecting a hint of the divinity of the dark night.

In an instant, purple flames burned fiercely in the basin, lengthening the shadow of Ye Zhi's feet.

Roland Kingdom, Dark Night Temple.

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

As usual, Chloe went to the temple to ask for instructions from the high priest.

Chloe walked quickly along the dark purple carpet, looked up at the back of the high priest on the altar, and was slightly startled.

The shadow flame in the center of the altar burned fiercely, illuminating the astonished look on the High Priestess Magosa's face.

Chloe quickly realized the change in the situation and said in a serious tone:

"High Priest, is there something wrong with the Shadow Realm?"

“No…” Margosha’s voice was a little hoarse, she was dazed and said in disbelief, “He was chosen by the Dark Night God… and returned from the Shadow Realm…”

"What did you say?"

Chloe's body trembled, and she said in surprise and joy: "The Chosen One is back!"

"But we haven't even opened the passage to the Shadow World. Could he have come back from the Shadow World by his own strength?" Chloe was extremely surprised.

Crossing the planes is extremely difficult, and the Dark Night Sect is ready to give it their all.

But now, the Chosen One has returned safely! This really surprised Chloe! Margotha ​​shook her head.

"To be honest, I don't know what method the Chosen One used..."

"But what is certain is that all previous Dark Night God's Chosen ones would receive personal guidance from the Queen of Shadow Realm." Margosha said with emotion, "Now that the God's Chosen one has returned, he must have received an astonishing promotion in Shadow Realm!"

Chloe looked at the purple flames burning behind Magosa and asked, "What did the Chosen One say? When did he return to the Dark Night Sect?"

The Chosen Ones are often crucial figures in a sect and are very likely to become the real power holders of the sect.

Margotha ​​witnessed Sherlock's stunning performance on Plymouth.

If he had not attracted the attention of the Goddess of Dark Night at the grand festival, become the Chosen One of Dark Night, and forcibly promoted to the sixth ring, even Magosa herself might have fallen into the hands of Famula!

Margotha's purple eyes flickered slightly, and she had a glimmer of longing to meet the Chosen One in her heart. She whispered:

"He agreed to show up in Colins Bay, south of the Golden Lion, in three days, and asked us to bring Helena with us."

Helena has been living in the Dark Night Sect for more than three months, and under Chloe's guidance, she has gradually come into contact with the world of extraordinary people.

"High Priest, I will take Helena with me to see the Chosen One with you!"

"Well, that's fine too. We'll set off overnight and head to the Gulf of Klins to wait for the Chosen One... Remember to cover yourself with shadows to avoid being spied on."

"Yes, sir!"

*Three days later.

Yeats wore wing boots and flew stealthily over the Gulf of Collins, looking down at the harbor where ships were coming and going and trade was bustling.

This place is where Yeats met Medea and obtained the [Lyre of the God of Light] and [Winged Boots] from the nearby hills.

Having stood up Medea before, Yeats felt guilty and planned to ask Gray to go together to catch a royal sea turtle as a gift for Medea.

As for where to get the information about the Royal Sea Turtles... it was of course the [Sea God Temple]! The base of the Sea God Temple was not located in the calm sea between the land and the waves, but on the vast ice sea.

The ice sea environment is harsh. Sea beasts, pirates, sirens, sea monsters... gathered together, and there were countless immortals.

[Temple of Poseidon] was once the only faith in the icy sea where many heroes gathered.

However, as time passed, the sea god no longer performed miracles, and the belief in the sea god gradually declined.

Currently, there are three horror legends circulating in the Ice Sea Kingdom.

The creatures corresponding to each "horror legend" are more powerful than the sea god.

For the pirates living in the Ice Sea Kingdom, the sound of gold coins falling into purses is far more pleasant than the preaching of the Temple of Poseidon.

Poseidon? How many warships does Poseidon have! The Ice Sea Kingdom is nominally a free seaport, and any kingdom or individual can send ships. In reality, it is a pirate den. Only desperate guys will risk being eaten by fish and board this pirate city.

Compared to the relatively stable environment of the Golden Lion Kingdom, the waters of the Ice Sea Kingdom are home to a large number of ferocious sea beasts, including some emperor-level creatures.

The Temple of Poseidon is located in the waters of the Ice Sea Kingdom, on an island called Poseidon Island.

Through the channels of the Temple of the Sea, there is hope to obtain information related to the emperor-level sea beasts. In addition, the materials of the emperor-level sea beasts can not only be presented to the messenger god Medea, but also used as materials for the future promotion of the Snow Owl!

The royal owl... the owl reincarnation of the goddess of wisdom Minerva, is no more than that.

In order to establish contact with the Temple of Poseidon, it is necessary to let the priests of the Temple of Poseidon take away Helena, who has the blood of Poseidon.

Margotha ​​has already contacted the priest of the Sea God Temple and agreed to meet at the Corinth Bay today. Today is the day to bid farewell to Helena...

A secluded beach with no people.

In the dense mangrove forest, a crab was crawling across the sand and was blown over by the strong wind, with its eight legs facing the sky and shaking continuously.

Ye Zhi landed on the ground and came to the agreed location. At this moment, his hair color turned black again and his aura changed greatly.

Chloe and Margosa emerge from their hiding place in the shadows.

"God's Chosen One."

"God's Chosen One."

They greeted each other in turn.

Ye Zhi nodded in greeting, his eyes falling on Helena behind Chloe.

Under the influence of the blood of Poseidon, Helena's hair turned into sea blue, and her eyes were as blue as the sea. It can be seen that she is a beauty.

There was a gleam in her eyes as she looked at Yeats whom she had not seen for several months and blurted out:

"elder brother!"

Yeats smiled, leaned down, caressed Helena's head affectionately, and said:

"You've grown taller."

These ordinary words made Helena's eyes warm. She whispered, "During the time you were away, it was Sister Chloe who took care of me... I don't know how to repay you... Anyway... please let me do something I can do..."

The fire of the judgment in Plymouth appeared before her eyes, and Helena thought that if her brother had not risked his life to save her, she would have died that day.

No matter what, I must repay him... to be worthy of everything he has done...

Ye Zhi's eyes moved slightly.

Harvey, who died saving Helena, had buried him in Plymouth.

And right now, in preparation for the upcoming era of change, allowing Helena to ascend to the throne of the high priestess of the Sea Temple will be the top priority of the plan.

Ye Zhi didn't want to use a contract to restrict a little girl's freedom. As a time traveler, he still believed that if you treat others with kindness, the other party will also treat you with kindness in return.

"Did Chloe tell you about your bloodline?" Ye Zhi asked softly.

Helena nodded.

During the three months that Helena had lived in the Dark Night Sect, she had learned from Chloe why she had become the target of public criticism and why she had the ability to trigger a tsunami.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

The day when she witnessed Reverend Harvey's sacrifice for her, the day when Yeats rescued her from the execution ground, a seed of hope to become stronger took root in Helena's heart.

"It's like a curse...but you said you must believe in yourself..."

Helena spoke softly, raised her sea-blue eyes, and said firmly:

"I believe in myself. One day, I will be able to control this power!"

Yeats was stunned and surprised to find that Helena had a kind of tenacious character.

Suffering is not worth singing about, but the flowers that bloom in suffering are tenacious and beautiful.

Ye Zhi smiled slightly and said, "The Dark Night Sect is not your destination after all. Helena, the people from the Sea God Temple will come to pick you up today. That place will become your life..."

Helena was mentally prepared, but when she heard Yeats say in person that he wanted to send her away, her eyes still involuntarily reddened.

Can I not leave? Helena wanted to say this, but she still held back. Her eyes like the sea kept flashing, and she nodded gently: "I... want to be a strength for others... just like you, brother!"

"Remember what I told you?" Ye Zhi blinked.

"Yeah." Helena burst into laughter, "Believe in yourself!"

Margotha: “…”

Is this still the evil and dark Chosen One of the Dark Night?

How come he is like a considerate older brother! Licking her red lips, a cluster of light flashed across Margotha's eyes. Well... Actually, I like this one chosen by God! Chloe coughed lightly and reminded in a low voice: "High Priest, restrain yourself..."

Margotha ​​came back to her senses, walked up to Ye Zhi, bowed respectfully, and said, "Lord Chosen, can I ask you something?"

"speak."

"What did you experience in the film industry? How did you leave the film industry?"

Ye Zhi's words were concise and mixed with truth and lies. He said, "The Queen of the Shadow Realm, Skahe, accepted me as her apprentice, taught me her spearmanship and magic spear, and helped me leave the Shadow Realm."

"I see……"

Margotha ​​looked calm, but she was shocked.

The Queen of Shadow Realm, Skah, was a figure recorded in the history of the Dark Night Cult. She had slain many evil gods with her magic spear. Now she actually gave the magic spear to the Chosen One? It seemed that this Chosen One was particularly valued by Queen Skah!

Margotha ​​was in mixed feelings... It's over. I'm not going to compete with the Queen of Shadow for a man. Then I might as well just be a priest!

Ye Zhi said: "Well, by the way, the [Dark Night Tower] is currently in my hands and I own it. Is that ok?"

Margotha: "Of course!"

The Tower of Darkness is a magical tool that can change its size freely and is currently kept in Ye Zhi's space ring.

Once you step into the holy land, the Tower of Darkness can be placed within the realm and become the carrier of the divinity of dark night.

When talking about the Tower of Night, we have to mention its corresponding [Moon River]. According to legend, it is a river of moonlight falling from the sky. It can be used as a means of attack, or it can be shrunk and surrounded by the body as a protective device.

The Sea God Temple will send someone to welcome the Blood God today. While waiting for the Sea God Temple's ship, Margosha's eyes moved slightly and she whispered, "My Lord, there is something I need to report to you in person..."

"What?"

"The Moonlight Cult's God-choosing Ceremony will be held as scheduled in three months. We must find a way to disrupt it."

Margosha said coldly: "The Moonlight Sect and our sect have been at odds for hundreds of years. If the Moonlight Chosen One is allowed to descend into the world, it will be very disadvantageous to our sect. We must strike back!"

"You don't have to worry about this matter."

Yeats said calmly:

"I will personally take action at the Moonlight Cult's God-choosing Ceremony!"

Magosa's eyes lit up. With the current strength of the Chosen One of Dark Night, it would be easy for her to destroy the Chosen One ceremony herself!

"The Chosen One is wise!"

Ye Zhi thought to himself.

I said I would do it myself, but I didn't say I would destroy it myself.

Let me become the Moonlight God's Chosen One, so that I can suppress the dark night divinity in my body and cling to the Moon God's thighs...

I win twice, which means a win-win situation! (End of this chapter)
