Chapter 361 Version Update, Disappearing Fog Wall and New World
Morningfrost Ridge, Swordwinter Keep.
As night fell and the banquet ended, Redbeard, who had been transformed from a giant dragon, smacked his lips, still savoring the lingering taste of the food, and sighed with emotion.
Otherwise, why is it required to prepare a feast when offering sacrifices to gods? Humans really know how to eat!
Before leaving, Red Beard specifically mentioned to Yeats a rune power that Grey had recently comprehended, called "Silver Dragon Time Slot".
Runes are a power that is more ancient than magic.
Magic power comes from the magic network, and runes were created at the beginning of creation.
According to legend, these runes are the origin of the world extracted from the World Tree and contain the laws of creation. There are 24 oldest runes, collectively known as the [Creation Runes]. The rune magic that has been passed down in later generations is all derived from these Creation Runes.
The magic mastered by the ancient dragons is essentially the embodiment of the power of runes, and the dragons can use the unique pronunciation method and dragon language chanting to release spells with the help of "dragon roar".
The dragon clan has its own name for this type of magic, which is called "Word Spirit".
"Is the "Silver Dragon Time Slot" also performed through the method of words?"
Yeats looked at Gray who was rubbing the squirrel's cheeks.
Gray held the drill in her hand, pinching the drill's chubby cheeks on both sides. She looked back at the sound and smiled proudly, "That's right! Even the Third Elder said that it's a very powerful word spirit!"
Ye Zhi ignored Zuanya's pleading look.
As the saying goes, there is always someone who can defeat you.
The Diamondtooth who likes to stir up trouble is naturally antagonized by the Dragonborn who is a stickler for power.
"What is the specific effect?" Ye Zhi asked curiously.
Red Beard coughed, showing his presence, and said:
"The Silver Dragon Time Slot is actually the word spirit that Gray has mastered through the Silver Dragon Heart. It can open a time-space slot with a radius of ten meters around itself, which is equivalent to a small domain. The flow of time in this domain will be greatly slowed down, causing the enemy's actions, reactions and thinking speeds to be greatly slowed down."
"But Gray herself will not be affected by the time delay." Red Beard said seriously, "In a duel between strong men where every second counts, this word magic is quite effective!"
As he spoke, Redbeard stroked his fiery red goatee, looked up at the gray sky, and sighed:
"This should be the magic that the Silver Dragon Queen mastered back then. Now that Gray has obtained it, I don't know whether this is a blessing or a curse..."
"Becoming stronger, how can it be a disaster?"
Gray smiled and hugged Red Beard's arm, pointed to the sky with one hand, and said confidently:
"Don't worry, as long as Ye Zhi is here, even a bad thing can always turn into a good thing!"
Suddenly, there was a muffled thunder in the sky.
Gray's neck shrank and she glanced at the sky cautiously.
"The climate in Morning Frost Ridge is harsh, and the thunder is caused by nature... probably." Ye Zhi said.
Red Beard frowned and said in a deep voice: "In short, the fact that Grey has the Heart of the Silver Dragon must not be spread to others. The Silver Dragon Queen and her descendants have been hunted down for hundreds of years. With Grey's current situation, it is hard to guarantee that she will not be implicated... I will continue to think of ways with other elders. Ye Zhi, you and Grey must also take care of yourselves!"
The Great Elder Red Dragon seemed to be very wary of the power of the Holy See.
Ye Zhi could understand it. After all, the once-mighty Dragon Empire was destroyed by the Heavens in the Holy War, leaving only a handful of dragons alive. It was inevitable that the Red Dragon would be wary of the Holy See, which had the backing of the Heavens.
But this also means that the dragon clan will become their natural allies.
If we want to declare open war on the Holy See in the future, we may be able to get help from the Dragon Country.
But the dragons are also divided into multiple factions. As a race with higher intelligence than humans, humans have traitors, and there are also traitors among dragons. There are also many dragons who defect to the heavens and voluntarily become mounts.
Now, it is far from the time to launch an all-out war. The top priority is to seize the opportunity of the Sanctuary version and open up your own territory.
That night.
The red dragon left Morningfrost Ridge, crossed the empire's territory from high in the sky, and returned to the Dragon Country.
Gray wandered around, observing the changes in the territory during the six months since she was away, and inquiring about what Yeats had accomplished during the past six months.
The identity of the Dark Night Cult's Chosen One is destined not to be made public.
The Duke of Honeysuckle has become the most legendary hero in the Golden Lion Kingdom.
She served the king, quelled civil strife, and helped him to be crowned. These deeds are comparable to those of Saint Jeanne, who rescued the siege of Orleans and helped King Roland ascend the throne.
It is worth mentioning that after the saint was captured on the battlefield by the ancestors of the Yeats-Brandi family, she was sentenced to be burned at the stake for heresy and witchcraft. Later, the Vatican ordered the case to be re-examined and the saint was vindicated.
This move is equivalent to the Church using the saint as a propaganda symbol. Her soul after death may have been incorporated into the heaven, just like the owner of Valhalla, who often brings the souls of heroes into Valhalla after their death in preparation for the end of the world.
Gray was surprised to learn that Yeats was second only to one person in the Kingdom of Golden Lion.
Two years ago, Yeats was just a remote frontier baron who tried his best to resist the cold wave.
Two years later, Yeats had climbed to a high position in the kingdom and became a veteran of two dynasties!
Facing Ye Zhi who had already achieved the sixth ring, Gray also felt a sense of urgency and thought to herself:
"I can't hold Yeats back...it has to be more effective than drilling teeth!"
Currently, Drilltooth mainly serves as a mascot in Yeats' team.
However, this is a totem-level monster after all, and it was once a close friend of the "blasphemous" black dragon and the "withering wind" divine eagle.
Ye Zhi thought that Zuan Ya should also have its own exclusive plot, but he didn't know what kind of war it would provoke...
Before setting off for the Kingdom of Roland, there was a rare period of leisure.
While Ye Zhi was contacting the Temple of the Sea God to inquire about the movements of the emperor-level sea beasts, he was also messaging Teacher Megan of the Mage Guild to learn about the current situation of the Mage Guild and Candela.
Megan said that she would come to Morning Frost Ridge in person in the near future and would reveal a blockbuster news to Ye Zhi in advance!
Ye Zhi had already vaguely guessed what Megan's so-called important news was.
The first possibility is that Candela has already broken through the Sanctuary, and the news has been obtained by the Mage Guild in advance.
The other one is that which has appeared in the plot. The seven councilors of the Mages Guild passed a document called "The Seekers' Decree". In order to resist the interference of the secular church and clergy, the mages under the Mages Guild are now allowed to participate in the struggle for secular power.
There is a proverb that has been circulating in the Midgard Continent: what belongs to God belongs to God, and what belongs to the King belongs to the King.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
In the old empire, the clergy and the secular nobility kept to themselves.
But in modern times, the Holy See has used various means to interfere in the secular world. The Mages Guild could no longer sit still and began to use magic to fight against divine arts.
In the plot, this "Seeker's Decree" marked the beginning of the confrontation between the Mages Guild, the Kingdom of Roland, the Kingdom of Golden Lion, the Divine Empire, and the Papal States. The two "throwing out of the window incidents" triggered a war of faith that involved the entire Midgard continent, called the "Thirty Years' War."
No matter which situation it is, it means that the Mages Guild, relying on the First Sanctuary, has officially declared war on the Holy See in the secular world.
Shortly after Candela was promoted to the Holy Realm, powerful Holy Realm figures were born one after another in the Vatican and even in other races.
"The version is going to be updated..."
Ye Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he muttered to himself: "Now we are entering the [Navigation and New World] version."
In mythology, the gods used the body of the Founding Titan to arrange the earth and the sky. The maggots from the rotting corpse of the Founding Titan turned into dwarves and elves, and the Founding Titan's eyebrows were used to build the "Wall of Fog" that surrounds the Midgard continent.
In this era, the world has an end, and the entrance to the underworld is located at the northern end of the world. On the ocean, a fog wall stretching thousands of miles blocks the way for human fleets.
No matter how skilled a captain is, he cannot break through the barrier of the fog wall. Any fleet that breaks into the fog wall will die.
But after Candela broke through the sanctuary, the fog wall surrounding the atrium gradually disappeared. After the initial shock, the captain and the pirates were ecstatic and led their fleets to explore the unknown sea.
Yeats remembered that there were only two continents in the world, the North and the South, but in fact, when the fog wall disappeared and the new version arrived, humans discovered a new continent.
This new continent, which was based on the "America" in the previous life, was called the Aztec continent.
The rich resources and magical creatures on the New World made a large number of explorers prosperous, and there were many examples of people being promoted from mortals to high-level powerful warriors overnight.
Ye Zhi suddenly felt fortunate that he already had the strength of six rings before the new version came.
This means that he is now qualified to have a share of the rich new world.
But at the same time, in the coming era of the Holy Land, those who cannot enter the Holy Land will only achieve their achievements here.
Ye Zhi felt a strong motivation in his heart and murmured to himself:
"There is no shortage of magical ingredients on the new continent. Making them into feasts can also help with promotion to the Holy Realm!"
Perhaps because it was too idle, the clone created by Daisy's magic felt bored and decided to look for Yeats again after some time.
"When you participate in the Moon God's Choosing Ceremony, I will come to see you again."
Daisy crossed her arms, twisted her fingers around her curly grey hair, and smiled with sparkling eyes.
"That can also be considered as your sixth-ring trickster professional advancement ceremony!"
"So what are your plans for the time being?" Ye Zhi asked curiously.
The Mist Goddess is a person who can't sit still for a whole day and always has to do something fancy.
"I plan to go to the Ice Sea Kingdom to develop some believers and compete with the Sea God for faith. What do you think?" Daisy blinked.
Ye Zhi was slightly stunned and was about to ask why they chose the Ice Sea Kingdom, but then he thought that Daisy might have also sensed something.
When the fog wall disappeared, the first to be affected were the Ice Sea Kingdom and the pirates in the vast ocean.
In this chaotic situation, the Mist believers can claim that the disappearance of the fog wall is a gift from the Mist Goddess to mankind, and reap a wave of faith power! "I don't know how Helena is doing in the Sea Temple..."
Ye Zhi thought to himself, "I have to contact Poseidon priestess Talaseya and get information about the fog wall!"
