Chapter 381: Departure to Roland, Rumors of the Evil God
A short absence is better than a new marriage.
After meeting Hillary Clinton again after half a year, Yeats deeply understood what burning passion was.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
On the top floor of the castle's martial arts tower, a fierce fight took place, causing rounds of roars.
Ding! With a clear shout, Hilde clenched the wooden training sword in both hands and chopped it down heavily. Ye Zhi held the wooden sword horizontally with his backhand to block, slightly bent his calves, exerted force on his chassis, and leaned forward. As the two wrestled, Hilde retreated step by step, with a strange look in his eyes.
Looking into Ye Zhi's eyes that were so close to her, the red-haired Valkyrie's eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
“It’s been a big improvement.”
"You're not bad either." Ye Zhi smiled slightly.
Ye Zhi has quasi-master-level swordsmanship skills, which is slightly inferior to Hilde who has been practicing swordsmanship hard in the Wolf School for the past six months.
But Yeats had the blessing of Avalon, which enhanced his physical strength and made him in no way inferior in swordplay and wrestling.
Snowflakes were falling outside, but the training ground was filled with a fiery atmosphere. Tiny beads of sweat ran down Hildre's face and dripped along her chin line.
Hildreth was tall, her whole body was steaming with heat, and her eyes were particularly fiery.
“It’s not over yet.”
Clang! Hild suddenly exerted force, and the sword swung rapidly in a spiral arc, knocking Ye Zhi's sword away. At the same time, he lowered his body and moved forward, his eyes leaping with the determination to win.
Disarmament, one of the famous sword skills in the Wolf School.
Ye Zhi also mastered this move, which was a combat skill granted by the King of the Wild Hunt, but his proficiency was a little lacking.
Clang! The flying wooden sword fell to the ground, making a clear sound.
Faced with the rapidly approaching Hilde, Ye Zhi had no choice but to retreat to the weapon rack in the corner of the venue, raised his hand and pulled out a wooden spear, then swept the spear across with a fierce roar.
Hildreth stopped and observed, his chest rising and falling as he adjusted his breathing.
Seeing the spear in Ye Zhi's hand, she raised her eyebrows, with a sharper edge in her eyes, and said coldly: "Oh... the spear skills that Skach taught you... Let me see the results of your three months of being alone with her!"
The resentment is almost breaking through the ceiling!
Ye Zhi felt sympathetic and was worried about hurting Xilude, so he hesitated to draw his gun.
On the contrary, Hildreth fought more and more fiercely, and the sword tip, as swift as an afterimage, kept colliding with the tip of the gun with "ding ding ding" sounds.
"Come on, you can't lose to the spearmanship taught by the thieving cat!"
Outside the field, Diamond stood on the shoulder armor of the Asian dragon man with his arms folded, and shouted.
The Asian dragon man was confused. The Lord, a talking squirrel, would occasionally utter some strange words: "What is a stealing cat?"
Zuan Ya shook his head and said, "Women in the world can be divided into two categories, the original wife and the thieving cat."
Suddenly, Zuanya Dahuang pointed at Grey who was chewing a baguette next to her. When she found that she couldn't chew it at all, she decided to fight to the death with the baguette.
“This is the original one.”
Zuan Ya pointed one hand to the sky, posing the classic shape of "Iron Ox Beef Noodles".
"Hey, the one in the shadow world is the sneaky cat!"
Sora had a confused look on his face. He had no idea what nonsense the lord had taught the squirrel.
On the training ground, Hildreth frowned when she saw Ye Zhi just defending.
"Why don't you use the gun skills she taught you?"
You won’t be happy if you really use it.
Ye Zhi sighed inwardly.
Compared to Gray, Hildreth is obviously more wary of Skach.
But nothing happened between him and Scach yet!
If you want to become bigger and stronger, you must revitalize the husband's authority and not give in! Ye Zhi's spear force suddenly changed, it was tricky and sharp, and the moves that were almost master-like were impeccable, causing a flash of surprise in Xilude's eyes.
She thought that she could not break this spear technique, and the best countermeasure to defeat the spear with the sword was to get closer. So she quickly rushed close to Ye Zhi with the steps of a sword dance, as if dancing on the tip of a knife.
Ye Zhi was startled, and fearing that he might hurt Xilude, he suddenly retracted his grip on the gun, and his body unconsciously leaned back.
Caught off guard, Hildreth quickly retracted her strength, but her control was obviously inferior to Yeats'. She lost her balance and pounced towards Yeats.
Boom! The two fell to the ground.
The Argonian exclaimed, "Lord Hildreth, Lord Lord, are you two okay?"
Gray: "It's okay, it's just training... Ugh, why is this bread so hard!?"
How could Ye Zhi, a six-ring master, fall flat on the ground? The reason he did this was just to pretend to be defeated and end the training in a fair way.
Unexpectedly, Hildreth's competitive spirit was too strong, and he really rushed over.
In desperation, Ye Zhi had to hold her and fall down to relieve the force. He didn't feel any pain, but the girl in his arms calmed down.
When he looked down, he saw that Hildreth's cheeks were flushed and she was leaning on his chest motionless. She inadvertently raised her eyes and looked at Ye Zhi, and the shyness and embarrassment in her eyes were clearly visible.
Ye Zhi was slightly stunned.
Good man, it turns out you did it on purpose!
Xilude seemed to feel a little uncomfortable and adjusted her position in Ye Zhi's arms, which made Ye Zhi's heart beat wildly. He said dryly:
"Well...you're pressing on me, you get up first."
Hildre looked down at Ye Zhi, her eyes full of attachment, and finally leaned down and kissed Ye Zhi gently on the lips.
"When I'm not by your side...you must also remember this kiss." She whispered in his ear in a hoarse voice.
Yeats nodded stiffly.
Hildesh had just stood up, her cheeks were already flushed, and she awkwardly tucked her hair behind her ears.
Beside the field, the Asian dragon crossed his arms with a complicated look in his eyes.
Aren't you training in combat skills? Why did you two hug and kiss each other?
I heard that due to the influence of her extraordinary bloodline, it is more difficult for Master Liuhuan to get pregnant.
Sora fell into deep thought.
Perhaps, I should ask Lord Lord and Lord Hilde to start preparing...
Just as Zuanya was about to add fuel to the fire, he turned around and saw that Grey had not seen what had just happened. She was hitting her shield with a baguette, making a banging sound, and looked annoyed.
"Is this food or a weapon?"
Seeing this, Zuan Ya seemed to be thinking about something.
It may seem innocent, but it actually has a deeper meaning, and is meant to avoid further embarrassment in the situation.
Perhaps, this is the great wisdom of the queen.
Maybe in the end, Gray will be the first to eat the meat! Zuanya suddenly became alert and looked up at the sky.
I almost forgot that there are several people in heaven who are eyeing me covetously! "It's not so easy to eat the bowl of soft rice chosen by God..."
Diamond Teeth muttered:
"Besides, it's a multi-god election, so I'm eating the free meals of several gods at the same time!"
If someone says that he achieved his current status by relying on gigolos, Yeats would definitely be the first one to disagree.
It is entirely due to supreme talent and gift, hard work and sweat that he is appreciated by the goddesses.
I don’t know how many gods’ divinity this panel can carry at the same time.
Ye Zhi decided to challenge himself and try to become the Chosen One of Death again in the future...
After all, there seems to be a story between the Goddess of Death and the God of Light that must be told. Logically speaking, with my identity as the descendant of the God of Light, it is very likely that I will be appreciated by the God of Death.
Before that, go to Roland Kingdom and get the golden sword that my foster father needs, as well as the [Nibelung Ring] that is necessary to cross the plane! ...
Reception room.
"I have a distant relative in the Kingdom of Roland. She will come to greet us when we arrive in Paris, the capital of Roland." Ye Zhi closed the parchment letter in his hand and said.
"Distant relatives?" Gray picked up the chestnut cake covered with honey jam, took a sip, and looked a little surprised.
Hild also nodded, and looked at Ye Zhi with her light golden eyes, showing great concern for his family affairs.
Ye Zhi pondered and said, "I was going to say that she was my second sister, but she married far away in the Roland Kingdom and is now the wife of the Count of Champagne."
The Count of Champagne refers to the lord of the Champagne region in the Kingdom of Roland. The wine produced in the Champagne region that meets a series of special standards is called champagne.
Compared with ordinary wine, champagne has more fruity flavor and bubbles. Drinking champagne has become a fashion in the Roland royal family.
The Kingdom of Roland is divided into thirteen regions, each with its own central city. The Île-de-France, where Parisia is located, is the most populous region.
"Your sister?" Gray asked in surprise, "I've never heard you mention her before."
Ye Zhi shrugged and said, "We haven't been in touch for many years. I can't even remember what she looks like. But she recently sent a letter to her family, and my brother gave it to me. I thought since I'm going to Roland, I might as well meet her."
Long before he was conferred the title of Duke of Honeysuckle, Yeats had already separated from the Bronty family and established a branch, but he still maintained contact with the main family.
At present, the reputation of the Duke of Honeysuckle is not limited to the Golden Lion Kingdom. Yeats's reputation is also gradually spreading to the Roland Kingdom across the strait.
This is closely connected to the Bard's praise and the shocking response to Yeats's recent achievement Moonlight Chosen.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
"How do we get to the Kingdom of Roland? When do we leave?" All of Hildreth's questions were very rational.
As the chosen one of the God of Strategy, Hildreth is always the calmest person in the team unless he is playing chess.
"Take a boat directly to the harbor at the mouth of the Seine River, then you can go straight down the river and take a boat to the capital of Roland."
Ye Zhi, Gray, and Xi Lude, three six-ring masters, flew directly to the capital of Roland. Being too ostentatious would arouse the vigilance and alertness of local strong men. According to the official review process, entering Roland by boat is also a kind of respect for the Kingdom of Roland.
"The Knights' Conference will be held in October, which is less than half a month away. We will set off in two days. What do you think?" Ye Zhi inspected the two of them.
Gray and Hildreth had no objection.
…
Two days later.
The sky was blue and the sea was calm. The masts and sails sailed against the wind and waves, crossing the Strait of Lion d'Or and arriving at the mouth of the Seine.
Looking into the distance, the harbor is extremely prosperous with merchant ships coming and going, while in the farmlands farther away from the port city, the grape fields are lush and green, and the atmosphere is peaceful.
Hildrede was moved by the scene and whispered, "I have learned about witchers in the North. They often live in poverty and have to carefully calculate every bottle of sword oil and magic potion. When they are forced to do so, they will also take on jobs such as tending to grape fields, searching for the landlord's missing daughter, and eliminating pests in farmland."
Gray was shocked and said, "This is even worse than the registered adventurers in the Adventurer's Guild."
Hildre shook his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and said, "The overall strength of demon hunters is much higher than that of low-level adventurers, but the world's recognition of them is not high. This may be because of their strange tempers... It is common for them to not be able to find a job."
Yeats was thoughtful.
Since becoming the future "Legendary Demon Hunter", Jello has been doing the dirty work for himself, and he looks so radiant.
In the past, they kidnapped wealthy businessmen for profit, but now that they are on shore, they have begun to develop their own hobbies... such as playing cards.
According to Jello's teammate Roger, Jello has been either going to the sorceress to talk about love, or going to the tavern to play cards with others, under the pretext of collecting intelligence.
His colleagues denounced Jello for not making progress, and Jello said that you are right, so do you want to play cards? Yeats shook his head, stopped thinking, and immediately ordered the fleet to move forward at full speed.
That evening.
At the mouth of the Seine, at the harbor, Yeats's second sister led her entourage to greet them.
The mansion was magnificent and the long dining table covered with a white tablecloth was filled with delicious food. Well-dressed men and women were holding champagne and chatting with each other.
This was a social dance organized by Yeats's second sister, Shirley Brontë, to welcome the Duke of Honeysuckle who came from afar.
The visit of the Duke of Honeysuckle to the Kingdom of Roland has become a hot topic in the Roland fashion world recently.
It is fashionable for the self-proclaimed upper-class nobles to be related to the Duke of Honeysuckle.
Foreign monks are good at chanting.
Yeats was not only a favorite of Queen Theresa, but also a six-ring master at a young age and a chosen one by God for art. His reputation spread throughout the Roland court, becoming more and more mysterious, as if he had an aura of divinity.
There was singing and dancing outside the mansion, and in the study, Xue Rui and Ye Zhi met alone.
"It's been a long time, my dear brother."
With her long silver hair braided into a wreath and wearing an elegant white dress, Sheri's eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Yeats, and an elegant smile appears on her face.
Yeats recalled his memories of his previous life and found that his second sister was relatively kind to him, but after she got married, they gradually reduced contact because they were too far away.
Thinking of this, Ye Zhi also smiled, nodded slightly, and greeted: "Indeed, we haven't contacted each other for a long time."
Xue Rui stared at Ye Zhi, her eyes flickering with disbelief, and said softly, "I have heard a lot about your deeds in recent years. I can't believe whether the hero described in the story is the same person as my brother..."
"But it wasn't until I saw you in person that I realized that some changes had indeed taken place in you." Xue Rui said softly, "I don't know when this change occurred, but I can understand that you have grown up, and at an incredibly astonishing speed...Yeats."
The younger brother who was once ridiculed as a piece of rotten wood has now become the famous Duke of Honeysuckle in the continent. This huge contrast makes Xue Rui seem a little uneasy when facing Ye Zhi, as if the younger brother in front of her has become extremely unfamiliar.
Ye Zhi's heart moved slightly.
I am indeed not her real brother. Instead of trying to maintain a relationship with her, I would rather ask for some useful information.
Yeats then changed the subject, saying that he came to Paris Gia to attend the Roland Knight Conference, and asked Xue Rui if there was anything worth noting about Roland at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Xue Rui sighed softly and said, "Roland is not at peace right now... A few days ago, a demon hunter claimed that he saw a demon..."
Ye Zhi was slightly surprised: "Demon?"
"Yes, a succubus with bat wings eloped with the priest of the god of love. The demon was later killed by the holy knights who arrived. The priest of the god of love was in great pain. He wrote a poem to commemorate the demon and disappeared... This poem is very famous and circulated in Roland's social circle. However, the Vatican has been banning the priest's works." Xue Rui said.
Ye Zhi was slightly stunned: "This priest of the god of love you are talking about, could he be called..."
Xue Rui: "I think his name is... Peren?"
Yeats had mixed feelings.
It is indeed you, the elf with boundless love!
After chatting for a while, Yeats left the reception room and reported the situation to Gray and Hilde.
"Demons often come from the Hell Plane, and the possibility of them appearing in the Material Plane is very small, unless they are loyal to certain gods..." Hildreth frowned slightly, "In other words, the appearance of demons in the Kingdom of Roland means that there may even be evil gods appearing in the kingdom!"
Evil gods often refer to powerful demon gods to whom demons are loyal, or terrifying monsters that have cultivated human intelligence and commit evil in the name of God.
The Minotaur, a "minotaur" who once occupied the labyrinth and demanded virgins from people every year, was regarded by humans as a terrifying bull-headed evil god for a long time.
Ye Zhi pondered for a moment, wondering whether the demon might be related to the Nine-headed Hydra mentioned by Artemis, but quickly rejected this speculation.
The demons originated from the plane of hell, and had little to do with the nine-headed Hydra, which was native to the material plane. Instead, it was possible that the demons of hell were directing the demons to act.
Yeats once came into contact with the lustful demon Lilith. This demon was relatively easy to talk to, but there were definitely some bloody and cruel demons among them.
Yeats secretly became more cautious.
Neither hell nor heaven can be trusted.
The only right way is to pick up the Silver Oak Sword and "fight, fight, fight"...
This power to defeat angels and demons is the reason for being king! "What is their purpose?" Gray thought for a moment and said, "They came to the material plane with so much effort, they must be looking for something, right?"
Hildre looked at Gray in surprise.
Is she pretending all the time? Why do the questions she ask always get to the heart of the matter?
Yeats was also surprised and thoughtful.
If we were to ask what the devil's purpose was, there was only one.
The Lord of the Rings, oh no...The Ring of the Nibelung!
King Solomon used this ring to control the demons to serve him.
In other words, the forces of hell are also determined to obtain this ring!
Ye Zhi told the two of them his own inference: "The Ring of the Nibelung can not only cross planes, but also has the power of domination. It is currently in Roland. It is very likely that what the demons are looking for is this treasure!"
Gray and Hildreth looked at each other and nodded at the same time, agreeing with Yeats's opinion.
Many times, Yeats's reasoning was surprisingly accurate. The two even suspected that Yeats had read the script in advance, so he could make accurate judgments every time.
"Perron is a person who has come into contact with the devil, so he must have more information."
Ye Zhi sighed and said, "Although I really don't want to see him, I still have to find that guy first..."
Then, I asked him for a few more volumes of pornographic books and gave them to a certain Liu Bei fan who wishes to remain anonymous! (End of this chapter)
