Chapter 470: The Battle for the Queen's Position Has Always Been This Way
Night falls.
The aurora shines on the bright silver snow, and Yeats's oath faintly echoes in the valley.
Yeats and Skach decided to return.
"Where is the next destination?"
Skach raised his beautiful eyes like purple gems, and with a voice as cold as the wind blowing across the snow, he asked Yeats for advice.
Yeats suddenly felt dazed, as if no matter where he went, this queen from the film world would follow him with a gun.
Bathed in the aurora, the two seemed to be closer to each other.
At this moment, I can feel her warm and fragrant breath.
Ye Zhi stopped looking at Skahe's slightly blushing cheeks, calmed his excited mind, cleared his throat and said:
"Let's go back to my base, Sensei...it's not far from here."
"What kind of base?"
"A castle." Ye Zhi touched the tip of his nose. "My castle is quite big."
The purple-haired queen nodded slightly and followed Ye Zhi quietly and consciously.
The two chose not to fly or ride, but slowly waded through the thick snow.
唦唦——
In the quiet snowy night, you can sometimes hear the rustling of pine needles falling or the rustling of a nightingale's wings.
Along the way, Skach kept paying attention to the surrounding scenery with a focused look, as if he didn't want to miss any view.
Compared to the monotonous and repetitive shadow world, everything in the mortal world seems precious in Skach's eyes.
Ye Zhi took advantage of the moment when Skach was attracted by an owl and was about to walk to a fork in the road, and stretched out his arm to hold her hand: "This way."
Skach was slightly startled, but said nothing. She nodded her head and let Yezhi pull her forward in the empty and desolate snowy night.
The wind was freezing cold and Skach's hands were as cold as ice, but in Yeats's palms, there was gradually a hint of warmth.
The Queen of Shadow Realm raised her purple gemstone eyes and stared at the profile of the silver-haired boy. She suddenly felt a little unbelievable in her heart... She should have continued to guard the Shadow Realm and deal with the aftermath of the disaster caused by the black python Apep.
But the appearance of Yeats not only helped her solve a difficult task, but also bought her precious leisure time.
On this holiday far away from the Shadow Realm, the snowy nights, northern lights, nightingales of the material plane... seemed like a colorful scroll spread out before Skach.
Skach couldn't help but smile and silently held Ye Zhi's hand a little tighter.
"We're here." Ye Zhi looked up.
"Hmm?" Skach looked at his hand suspended in the air after Ye Zhi let go, and suddenly felt a little empty in his heart.
"Jiandong Castle." Ye Zhi stopped in front of the castle and turned to introduce, "It is the lord's castle in my mortal world... Teacher, you can also use this place as your base in the material plane in the future."
Jiandong Castle stood on a high slope, its spire piercing the dark clouds, and warm orange-yellow light flowing from the windows.
Skach looked at the castle. As a former princess, she had an aesthetic that was beyond her time. She nodded and said, "It's beautifully designed."
Spatial fluctuations suddenly surged.
A swirling black portal opened, and a noble and beautiful figure emerged from it.
The blonde girl was wearing black plate armor. Her delicate face was as indifferent as a ghost. The aura of death was surging around her. She walked forward and opened the castle door for her master.
There was a flash of surprise in Skach's eyes, and he turned to look at Yeats.
Although she didn't ask directly, Ye Zhi could guess what was in her mind.
Why does this summoned undead creature have a sacred aura? These two forces are supposed to be contradictory, right? Ye Zhi explained: "Her name is Kelya. She is an undead knight summoned by a warlock with the help of necromancy and holy relics after the death of Joan of Arc."
"I found her original head in the bottomless pit and let her obtain the power of her previous body." Ye Zhi said, "So she can use the two completely different powers of the sacred and the undead at the same time."
The blonde female knight in plate armor turned around and gracefully saluted Skach by pressing her chest.
The surprise in Skah's eyes had not yet disappeared. He looked at Kylia for a while and nodded slowly.
"This can be described as a miracle... She is now capable of rivaling a six-ring master. If she has the right weapon and mount, and can fully absorb the power of her predecessor... it won't be difficult for her to achieve the Saint Realm."
Joan of Arc was already at the pinnacle of the Holy Realm during her lifetime, comparable to a demigod. It makes sense that her inheritance helped Kylia advance.
Ye Zhi was still a little confused and asked, "What do you mean by suitable weapons and mounts?"
Skach glanced at the blond knight and said calmly, "I don't know much about weapons related to Holy Light, but I do know of a world-famous holy weapon known for its spear shape."
Yeats blurted out: "Longinus!"
"Since you have decided to have a decisive battle with the Knight of Apocalypse, that holy weapon is equally important to you. Moreover...if you really get the Spear of Longinus, your spear skills will reach a level that even I cannot reach." Skach said seriously.
The legendary weapons in this world are like the embodiment of authority and law. As long as one successfully obtains them, the power of the holder will be greatly enhanced.
In Western legends, as long as a mortal draws out the holy sword, he can instantly possess unrivaled power, symbolizing destiny. The imperial seal, which is comparable to King Arthur's sword in status, is useless if one does not have the corresponding ability.
Yeats remembered that the King of the Wild Hunt had a piece of the tip of the Spear of Longinus in his hand, which meant that as long as the broken handle was found, this holy weapon could be brought to light again.
"I've got it down, teacher." Ye Zhi said, "For now... let's have a midnight snack first!"
In the castle hall, a fireplace burns warmly.
When the Duke returned, the news spread throughout Jiandong Castle immediately, and Grey and Hilde also learned the news.
When Yeats and Skach walked into the first floor hall, the red-haired Valkyrie was standing by the railing of the spiral staircase leading to the second floor, with her hand on the hilt of her sword, overlooking the two people who walked in.
Ye Zhi met Hildre's gaze, but saw that her eyes were complicated. She slightly shifted her gaze and it fell on Skach again.
The atmosphere was somewhat subtle.
Yeats looked up at the sky and suddenly remembered a famous line once said by a master.
There are only two kinds of women in this world, one is the childhood sweetheart, and the other is the sneaky cat.
'No, this is neither childhood sweethearts nor cheating, why should I be so nervous? '
Yeats thought to himself, 'It doesn't matter, I hug you the same way! '
Skach seemed to understand, and tilted his head and said, "That person must be the one you just mentioned... one of Hildreth and Gray?"
Ye Zhi nodded and was about to introduce him when footsteps were heard from the side hall. A figure in cotton armor, chewing a bagel, walked out from the direction of the kitchen.
"Ye Zhi, why did you come back just now?"
Gray chewed the bagel with great effort, and while chewing, she looked at Yeats's female companion with confusion.
"This guest is..."
Look how hungry the child is. He can’t wait to have a midnight snack and starts eating!
Ye Zhi coughed lightly and said, "He is a teacher I met in the film industry. I introduced him to you before."
Gray suddenly realized, broke off half a bagel, handed it to Scach, and blinked: "Want some?"
Skach: "..."
Ye Zhi: “…”
Gray: (づ)づ
Finally, Skach said thank you quietly, took the bagel from Gray's hand, and started chewing it in the same way.
Ye Zhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
This relationship... is unexpectedly harmonious! *Skahe has settled down in Swordwinterhold temporarily.
Xilude was somewhat wary of this powerful man from the shadow world.
It was not until Hilde was doing morning exercises in the castle training ground that she was accidentally met by Skach, who then taught her some key points in combat techniques and praised Hilde's swordsmanship.
Skah has coached a group of demigod heroes, and his teaching ability is unquestionable. He is even better at teaching than the Valkyrie Brunhilde.
Even after being promoted to the Holy Realm, Hilde still had some problems that she could not overcome, but they were easily solved with Skaah's guidance.
While Hildreth admired Scach, she secretly became more vigilant.
'It seems that training should be more diligent. 'Hilde thought to himself, 'This Shadow Realm Overlord who once killed a group of Old Gods in the Old Era is an absolutely powerful enemy...'
The reputation of the Dark Night Goddess can’t be said to be extremely cruel, but it can be said to be beyond description.
As the servant of the Goddess of Darkness, the reputation of the Queen of Shadow Realm has been damaged, and this is part of the reason why Hildreth is wary.
Another part of the reason is related to Yeats...
The fight for the throne has always been like this! After the trip to Dragon Country, Grey has put aside her grudges and trusts and supports Yeats' decision.
Skach showed an unexpected enthusiasm for the food of the mortal world, which surprised Grey greatly, as if she saw herself who had just come down the mountain and thought everything was delicious.
"Come, Scahe, try this. This is called cotton candy, invented by Yeats..."
"Oh, and here are some potato chips, spicy noodles, meat floss cakes, and egg yolk pie!"
After finishing his official business, Yeats returned to the tea room. When he pushed the door open, he saw Grey sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table, and he hurriedly stuffed a pile of snacks in front of Skach.
Skach accepted everyone who came. His face, as cold as an iceberg, showed a focused expression. He gave picky and strict comments on each food:
"The marshmallows that have been roasted have a more unique taste. I prefer them..."
Gray looked at Skach who was concentrating on tasting the food, and felt a strong sense of accomplishment in her heart. She held her cheeks with both hands and smiled, "That's right, the dark dishes prepared by Ye Zhi are too weird! These snacks are still more delicious!"
Skach said seriously: "Thank you, Gray, for preparing such rich food for me. Thank you."
Gray smiled sweetly: "Hehe, because I got here this way too... Oh, by the way, snacks won't satisfy your hunger, you still have to eat a proper meal!"
A smile also appeared on Skach's cold face: "Yes, even gods need to replenish nutrients through the ritual of feasting... Eating is a major matter that the gods also pay attention to."
Gray smiled and said, "Luckily Ye Zhi has the inheritance of the God of Food! Otherwise, I would be hungry easily!"
Skach pursed his lips and said, "Yeats... is indeed good at many things..."
After inheriting the Golden Dragon's legacy, Grey's physical condition improved significantly and her appetite also increased.
For Yeats, who inherited the legacy of the God of Cookery, providing meals was the easiest thing.
Skach returned to the human world after many years and found everything new and novel. Grey took her to experience various new foods, which undoubtedly greatly broadened Skach's horizons.
Compared to the relationship between Hilde and Scach, who are both master and disciple and rivals, Grey and Scach are so close that they are like old friends who have met again after a long separation.
Yeats looked at Gray and Skach who were smiling at each other and rubbed his chin.
Is this what they call... the joy of feeding?
*The peaceful time lasted less than two days.
Ye Zhi is about to set off to the Great Wall of Neverwinter to intercept the "Golden King" Erhantar.
Erhantar has the support of the Eight-ringed True God 'Lord of Plunder' behind him.
And this time, with Skach, who is also an eighth-ring player, traveling with him, Yeats felt relatively relaxed.
However, one must be fully prepared for everything, this is Yeats' life creed.
So, before setting off, Yeats first rushed to Avalon, the holy land of the Golden Lion Kingdom.
Half a month ago, because the Plague Knight detonated the Plague Law to form a blood river, Ye Zhi had to open his own domain to contain the blood river.
Although the River of Blood has flowed into the River Styx, Ye Zhi's own domain was still severely damaged and has not yet fully recovered.
In this world, [Holy Land] can enhance the power of a domain.
For example, the [Holy Land - Hall of Valor] can greatly strengthen the 'Valhalla' realm.
The pharaohs of the Kingdom of Horus all believed in the god of the scorching sun and ordered slaves to build pyramids, which were also man-made holy places.
If the [Holy Land of Avalon] can be transferred to one's own territory, both endurance and recovery capabilities will be significantly increased.
It's like carrying a fountain with you when you march into battle... you might end up losing more blood than you gain back!
Golden Lion, Avalon.
The fairy in the lake, Vivian, showed astonishment on her beautiful face, and said in disbelief:
"You want me to move this holy land to your territory?"
Ye Zhi said sincerely: "If possible, please help me... I will hire you as the manager of this holy land and give you corresponding compensation."
"Please allow me to refuse." Vivian said calmly, "Avalon is a refuge away from the world and should not be involved in worldly struggles."
"But if the mortal world is destroyed, how can the utopia be spared?" Yeats explained with reason and emotion, using the persuasive skills of a bard.
If it were a game interface, Ye Zhi guessed that the word "great success" should have popped up above Vivian's head at this moment.
Yeats and Vivian, as the pros and cons, made passionate speeches. Finally, Vivian sighed helplessly and gave in:
"I agree with you, but we have to sign a pledge, and I have a few conditions..."
Vivian said that Avalon must stay where it is, but allowed Yeats to set spatial coordinates in Avalon. When the war starts, you need to use the Ring of the Nibelung to teleport twice, put Avalon into the realm and then rush to the battlefield. Afterwards, you need to return Avalon to its original place.
This sounded extremely troublesome, but considering the need to proceed step by step, Yeats agreed.
After all, I have left the coordinates in Avalon. When I become an Eight-ring True God, I don't need the consent of Vivian, the administrator, and I can just pack up Avalon and take it away...
It’s just a temporary rental right now, but it will become permanent in the future! On that day, Vivian invoked the power of Lake Avalon to help Yeats repair his damaged areas and return him to his peak form.
The next day.
According to the original itinerary, Yeats and Skach rushed to the northern front and arrived at the Neverwinter Wall...
