Chapter 455: Meteor Shower, Gray's Promotion, Snowy Night Kiss

That night, Daisy said goodbye to Yeats, saying that she was going to the "bottomless pit" to retrieve something.

Yeats had many speculations about the "important treasure" mentioned by Daisy, and recalled the holy object mentioned in the plot that was used to suppress the nightmare demon Abaddon.

According to the description in the original work, the holy object was soaked in the blood of the saint and it was unlikely to be "Longinus". It was probably one of the Holy Shroud or the Holy Nail.

Another possibility is the Holy Grail, a sacred object that Lorraine had obtained and helped him become the "Lord of Midgard".

The Holy Grail once contained the blood of the saint when he died. Later, believers compared wine to the blood of the saint, and bread and wine also became symbols of the Eucharist.

It is said that the Holy Grail has the power to rejuvenate and bring the dead back to life.

However, judging from the fact that Lorraine found the Holy Grail but still failed to resurrect the Silver Dragon Queen... the Holy Grail is not as magical as described in the legend.

According to the game's background description, the Holy Grail is set as a sacred object that can help people realize their wishes... and the way to realize the wish is to use powerful magic to change fate and even the direction of the world line. An improper operation can easily cause a worldwide disaster.

Even the Vatican could not fully grasp the power of the Holy Grail, so they had to seal it. Yeats speculated that the bottomless pit was the sealed location of the Holy Grail.

"There are really a lot of strange things in this pit..."

Yeats complained: "Not only is there Joan of Arc's head, there is a high probability that the Holy Grail is also sealed..."

"Is it possible that the Holy Grail is not a real thing, but just a spell... a spell similar to the Great Prophecy, which can help people fulfill their wishes?" Mammon pondered.

"To find out the truth, we have to go to the bottomless pit in person after some time," Ye Zhi said.

Mammon nodded slowly, greed flashing in his golden eyes.

As long as there is something good, I, the God of Greed, will never miss it! What is certain is that the treasure sealed in the bottomless pit must be the key to the fight between heaven, hell, and even the gods.

Abaddon certainly has the ability to create nightmares, but in this three-way melee, he is likely to become a sacrificial pawn and a sacrifice for the appearance of the treasure.

And the holy object that worries all the gods must never be allowed to fall into the hands of the Church again.

"If the Holy Grail falls into my hands, it will probably be a hot potato."

Ye Zhi stroked his chin and thought to himself:

"Why not go with the flow and help Daisy get the holy object... Let the Goddess of Mist keep the treasure. This will not only enhance Daisy's divine power, but also suppress the arrogance of the heavens... Kill two birds with one stone!"

Yeats actually thought about using the power of the Holy Grail himself.

But judging from a combination of various literary and artistic works, the Holy Grail is a very mysterious thing. After all, it involves laws related to wishes and resurrection. If you are not careful, it is easy for the Holy Grail to trick you into the center of the earth.

Besides, his path to promotion to the eighth ring is very clear, which is to inherit the legacy of the God of Light, which conflicts with the power of the Holy Grail.

On the other hand, Daisy, as his long-time ally, has further enhanced her divine power and can also become his helper.

"The Holy Grail is good at deceiving people, and Daisy is also good at deceiving people... This wave is a case of negatives equaling a positive!" Ye Zhi pondered.

Currently, Gray is under the care of three elders, using the dragon clan's rune array to absorb the golden dragon inheritance. It will take some time to fully master it, so Ye Zhi stayed in the Dragon Country temporarily, thinking about the daily menu,

The ecological environment of Dragon Town is unique. In addition to the giant dragons, there are also many magical beasts living and breeding among the continuous snow-capped peaks.

The snow rabbit beast mentioned by the third elder of the Green Dragon is one of them.

This monster is as big as a bear, and it can curl itself up into a ball of thick fur and roll around, which can easily trigger an avalanche. Yeats sent the snow leopard to hunt alone, and it took a lot of effort for it to carry the giant rabbit, which was about ten meters tall, back to the camp on the snowy peak.

Boom! The snow leopard threw the giant rabbit on its back into the thick snow, raised its head, and smiled proudly at Ye Zhi: "Awoo!"

This snow rabbit weighed several tons. When it fell to the ground, there was a loud bang and the snow flew everywhere.

Yeats stroked the snow leopard's forehead with a smile, took out a small piece of cheese wrapped in seal paper from his arms, placed it in his palm, and let the snow leopard lick it.

"What a big rabbit!" Mammon had lived in hell for a long time and had never seen rare species in the human world. He was surprised and asked, "Ye Zhi, how are you going to cook this snow rabbit beast?"

Ye Zhi used his palm to make a knife gesture twice, and nodded with satisfaction: "Such a big rabbit head is the perfect choice for making spicy rabbit head incense!"

"Spicy... rabbit head?" Mammon swallowed his saliva, "Are you sure this isn't some dark dish you invented?"

Rabbit heads are not a common food ingredient for humans in the Middle-earth continent, and even more so for the well-off Mammon.

Ye Zhi patted the huge head of the Snow Rabbit Beast and said with a smile:

"It's spicy and numbing, the taste is guaranteed to satisfy you!"

Night falls.

In the red-hot Airenil cauldron, bright red oil was seething at the bottom, and a spicy aroma wafted away with the billowing hot steam. The huge rabbit head covered with red juice looked quite strange in the pot, and the familiars such as Diamond, Mammon, and Behemoth hesitated for a moment.

Behemoth tasted it first, and was so amazed that two streams of air spurted out of his nose, and his purple skin turned slightly red.

"Roar!" Behemoth swallowed wildly, turned around in circles in the snow, bent over and swallowed a big mouthful of snow, and his expression relaxed.

tasty!

Mammon hesitated for a moment, but still lay down on the edge of the cauldron of Arenil, stretched out his little cat paws, tore off a small piece of tender meat soaked in red oil from the rabbit's head, and put it into his mouth.

In an instant, Mammon's pupils contracted rapidly, and his cat ears trembled several times in succession, before he slowly let out a sigh.

“It’s spicy… but it’s delicious!”

For the rabbit body, Ye Zhi made it into drooling rabbit, divided it into small portions, and sent it into the cave for the three dragon elders to enjoy.

The Great Red Dragon Elder was gasping for breath due to the spiciness, with dragon flames surging in his throat.

The elegant look of the Second Elder of Blue Dragon was gone, and his mouth was full of oil as he ate.

While tasting the food, the Third Elder of the Green Dragon said vaguely, "There are many magical beasts in this mountain range that you rarely see outside. Ye Zhi... You can take advantage of these few days to investigate and make some food for us!"

Zuanya complained quietly, "This abacus is so loud that I can hear it!"

Gray could only stand in the center of the magic circle and watch the three dragon elders feasting on their food. She said pitifully, "I want to eat too!"

Ye Zhi turned around and looked at Gray, and said gently: "As long as you master the Golden Dragon inheritance as soon as possible, you can eat the food I cook!"

Gray's whole body was shocked, and she immediately held her breath and concentrated her mind to fight against the unparalleled dragon will inherited from her.

The green dragon was stunned for a moment, staring at Gray who was bathed in golden light in the center of the magic circle, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Is it my illusion?

How come it seems like as soon as Ye Zhi mentioned this... the progress of digesting this inheritance leaped forward?

*Three days passed quietly.

On this day, Ye Zhi received good news from the third elder of the Green Dragon, claiming that Grey's process of digesting the inheritance was quite smooth and she was only one step away from breaking through the Holy Domain.

"This final step requires the activation of the power of the astral realm."

Green Dragon said: "According to the astrological results of the second elder Gray, there will be a meteor shower over the main peak of Dragon Country tomorrow night."

"Gray needs to rely on her own strength to achieve this last step, and we cannot interfere too much." The green dragon's eyes reflected the handsome young man, and he said with approval, "However, you are the husband chosen by Gray. With you by her side, you will definitely be able to provide her with support... So, tomorrow night, you and Gray will go to the main peak together."

Yeats agreed without hesitation.

The next day, the night sky was filled with stars, as if thousands of streams of light were flowing in the sky. In the quiet snowy village, only the sound of the cold wind was heard, which was surprisingly calming.

Ye Zhi spread the wings of the god of poetry and flew to the main peak of the Dragon Country in the direction indicated by the three elders of the Green Dragon.

The main peak is over a thousand meters high. Looking up, you can see countless stars and the scenery is magnificent.

Yeats slowly descended and saw a beautiful figure sitting beside a towering cliff, humming an off-tune tune.

Hearing the noise, Gray turned around, her face flushed, and she stammered:

"Ye Zhi, why are you here?"

"The Third Elder asked me to accompany you." Ye Zhi sat down next to Gray, "She said that today is an important moment for you to break through with the power of the stars, and I should be by your side."

Gray lowered her eyes and whispered, "The elders really told you everything..."

"What?" Yeats didn't understand.

"I mean! The elders have already regarded you as a member of Dragon Country, so they can talk to you about anything." Gray laughed, with a small dimple on the corner of her mouth. "Ye Zhi, you have this kind of magic, you can make others become friends with you quickly!"

"Yes, I love making friends." Ye Zhi laughed.

Gray raised her eyes and gazed at the vast starry sky. With a faint smile on her lips, she said softly, "The elders said... there will be a meteor shower today, when the power of the stars is at its most intense, so they asked me to come here... I didn't expect that they would tell you about this..."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"You're unhappy?" Ye Zhi stood up and said, "Then I'll leave?"

Gray shook her head, blushing as she grabbed Ye Zhi's arm, keeping him by her side, and explained softly, "I originally wanted to give you a surprise, and suddenly appear by your side after becoming a sanctuary, but now I realize..."

Gray took a deep breath, expressed her feelings all at once, and said in a slightly faster tone:

“It is a great experience to have your loved ones by your side at the most important moment of your destiny!”

After saying this, Gray raised her eyes and secretly observed Ye Zhi's expression.

Yeats's profile, reflected in the starlight, is three-dimensional and profound, with a smile in his eyes:

"I was thinking, if I hadn't rescued you that day, you could have gotten out of trouble by yourself, right?"

"Of course you can...but I am reasonable! The elders told me that we must act according to the law in human society!" Gray said seriously.

Yeats was moved: "According to the law...the Duke can marry multiple wives."

Gray's eyebrows drooped suddenly, and she became like a dejected puppy that fell into the water. She opened her mouth and said angrily: "I... don't know... maybe, I haven't read such a decree..."

A wave of heartache surged into Yeats' chest, and he stretched out his arms and gently held Gray in his arms.

"I promise you, Gray, you will always be the first in my heart..."

No matter whether it was a lie or the truth, at least at this moment, Yeats felt that a soft spot in his heart was occupied by Grey... because of the sadness revealed in her trembling eyelashes, Yeats was willing to swear an oath for her.

Gray snuggled in Ye Zhi's arms, feeling her hot cheeks, and whispered, "The Second Elder said that bards like to use sweet words to deceive others..."

Ye Zhi put his hands on Gray's shoulders, looked directly into her eyes, and said seriously, "Are you willing to be deceived by me for the rest of your life, Gray?"

"I……"

"I am a man who tells lies all the time, but everything I say tonight comes from my heart... The stars can prove it for me."

The meteor shower mentioned in Blue Dragon Astrology quietly arrived along with Yeats' words.

Millions of light streams fell in the vast river of stars, with an otherworldly beauty. Grey was stunned by it, her mouth opened wide, and her eyes sparkled.

Ye Zhi laughed and said, "Don't just stand there, use this opportunity to mobilize the power of the star realm."

Gray nodded repeatedly, then held Ye Zhi's hand and said, "Together! Let's get closer to the stars together!"

The two floated up in the night sky, and went deep into the sky amidst the brilliant meteor shower. As Gray activated the power inherited from the Golden Dragon, strands of silver light flowed toward Gray in the invisible realm of creation.

In this grand star shower, Yeats heard Gray leaning close to his ear and whispering: "Yeats... do you still remember... the song you hummed for me before?"

"Twinkle, twinkle little star?"

"I want to hear you sing it again." Gray requested in a voice as thin as a mosquito's hum.

"You have to promise me first." Ye Zhi said firmly.

"What?"

"Agree to be deceived by me for the rest of your life." Ye Zhi said.

Gray held Ye Zhi's hand tightly and said, "One lifetime is not enough? It will take ten lifetimes, a hundred lifetimes!"

"One hundred lifetimes? If a human lifetime is calculated as one hundred years, then you have to be a god to be able to accompany each other for ten thousand years."

"Then let's become gods together, Ye Zhi!"

Gray said: "Being with you is the reason why I want to become a god!"

The surging power of the stars poured into Gray's body.

Under Ye Zhi's surprised gaze, her body changed and turned into a crystal clear and beautiful silver dragon.

Each scale glowed with a translucent silver light, which was extremely beautiful, and the gentle eyes on the slender dragon head could clearly recognize Gray's shadow.

Transformed into a dragon, this is the symbol of the Dragonborn's promotion to the Holy Land! The silver dragon used its tail to wrap up Ye Zhi's waist, put him on its back, and carried Ye Zhi through the meteor shower.

A meteorite flew towards her and hit Gray, causing her to scream in pain and lose her balance.

The man and the dragon kept flipping in the air, and then fell. In a burst of bright silver light, Ye Zhi hugged Gray, who had turned into a human form again, and stared into her eyes in the rotating world.

Falling along with the two of them were millions of meteors.

Gray had a tired look on her face, but she smiled sincerely:

"Yeats, we have become stars."

“A wonderful metaphor.”

Yeats kissed Gray's cold lips.

Bang——

The two fell into the snow.

The night sky is like crimson silk and the snow is like a white carpet.

Everything was quiet and silent, and a field that rose out of nowhere blocked the three fiery sights.

Red Dragon immediately turned around and said, "Second Brother, what happened in there? Hurry up and show us!"

Lan Long was so anxious that he scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "There is nothing I can do!"

The green dragon exclaimed, "This realm seems to be Gray's realm, containing the power of the stars and the dragon race... It is very similar to the [Starry Night] realm of the Silver Dragon Queen back then!"

The red dragon stared at the field for a long time, but couldn't see through the barrier. He sighed heavily and said:

"No matter what, just don't let anyone get killed!"
