Chapter 75: Guan Ernai sells the first (please subscribe!)
The next day.
The snow is falling harder.
The wind howled in the cold, and on nights like this the gusts of wind slammed against the wooden windows. People said that this was the echo of the Wild Hunt passing through.
Yeats, wearing a thick robe, came to the handicraft area to visit Og, whose roof was covered with snow.
Knock knock.
After the door opened, the troll's eyes were red with traces of tears in his eye sockets, as if he had just cried. He stood hunched in front of the short door frame and forced a smile.
"It's you, my friend. Please come in and sit down."
Ye Zhi's mood gradually became heavy. He smelled the herbal scent in the house, saw Rand was dejected, and there was no one around, so he asked, "Does the long-step flower have no effect?"
“It’s not the disease, it’s the life span,” Ogg said.
Yeats was silent.
It seems I didn't make it to the funeral.
"She said... people will die eventually, the key is to see what is left behind... She said, leaving behind me and Rand..."
Og's voice trembled slightly with a smile: "But Og is very scared, Yeats, because I haven't left anything. I really want to leave something, but I am an alien in people's eyes. I can see the people coming and going, and see the tops of their heads. Everyone passes by me to where they are going, but I can't find where I should go. Og is very sad."
Rand came over and patted the back of his hand gently.
Ye Zhi looked down at the animal tooth necklace in his hand and said, "Ogg, I met the witch doctor of the troll tribe."
"He knew your father and asked me to bring this animal tooth necklace to you. He also told me that you can find him in the Gravel Tundra if you want revenge."
"Revenge?" A look of confusion flashed in Oger's eyes.
"I'm sorry, I don't know more and I can't help."
Yeats said: "But you have left at least one thing in this world..."
"You owe me that gold coin," Yeats said half-jokingly, "so I will remember you, my friend."
Oger's pupils dilated slightly.
“Everyone has fear. The key is how to overcome fear, and that is to face it with a smile.”
Ye Zhi turned his head and looked at Rand: "What do you think of what I said?"
Rand nodded vigorously, looked at Oger, and said loudly: "Don't you still have me? Everyone knows that I am a famous wool craftsman. At worst, I won't take the risk!"
"Ogg... not afraid..." the troll grinned.
"Well, I'm not afraid!" Rand choked.
Ye Zhi said kindly: "Don't be afraid of death, because your family will be on both sides."
Og and Rand were stunned for a long time, with tears in their eyes.
"It's time for me to go back home," Yeats said with a smile. "I look forward to meeting you again next time."
Before leaving.
Kendala, Philus and Lena all came to see them off.
Gazing at the silver-haired boy's receding back, the purple-robed wizard whispered, "Baron Yeats has made a name for himself in Winter Lake City, and he is also the Poet Laureate. I really feel bad for his nickname of rotten wood."
Candela stroked his white beard, his eyes deep, and said with a smile: "Clumsy on the outside, but talented on the inside. If you don't make a name for yourself, you'll be amazing when you do."
The wind and snow were howling.
Between the cliffs, four black spots moved slowly.
Hildre, Gray, and Sora rode draft horses, heavy horses with amazing endurance that can adapt to severe cold climates.
In the North, horse plowing is far more common than ox plowing.
Yeats rode on a silver-white snow leopard, letting the leopard lead the way while he read the manuscript.
Thanks to the skilled riding skills enchanted by the "Traveler's Saddle", Ye Zhi did not fall off the snow leopard's back.
The snowy owl folded its wings and stood on the snow leopard's back. Seeing that its master was so eager to learn, it couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
"Gu!"
After I go back, I must ask Blueberry to teach me some new spells.
She teaches much better than that old man!
"Baron Yeats is really studious." Sora whispered, "He never forgets to study even when he is on the road."
Hildes nodded silently, thinking that Yeats must have worked very hard to win the Aurora Poetry Festival.
"The Travels of the Emperor of Lorraine", a pornographic book written by Perron.
Yeats was overwhelmed with emotion as he watched.
You are such a talented elf, you wrote the story of Lorraine fighting Medusa so realistically!
After being promoted to a bard, Ye Zhi had already learned the "Charm Person" spell, and after reading this book, his spellcasting effect was improved.
Since they were a small team of four, they traveled light and returned faster. When they passed a snowy peak, the sky suddenly darkened.
The wind was strong and the clouds were rolling, and the cold wind was biting. A team of ghostly black knights appeared under the dark clouds. Four knights wore tattered armor, helmets, held spears, and rode dark horses that walked on the wind.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
At the front of the four black knights, there was a commanding knight who was obviously an elite monster, holding a battle flag and wearing black armor that shone with a faint light.
"Wild Hunt?" Yeats frowned.
The Wild Hunt has no entity, it is just a ghostly creature. If it were just the Wild Hunt dogs, it would be easy to deal with, but facing this entire Wild Hunt cavalry is quite tricky!
At this moment, the commanding knight raised his flag and pointed, and a wild hunter knight suddenly rushed out from his side. The thunderous sound of hooves swept up a strong wind and rushed straight towards Yeats!
Hildreth put on an eagle helmet, her blood-red robe fluttering in the wind, and the rapier in her hand shot out a black beam of light. The Wild Hunt knight who was hit suddenly tightened his horse, turned his target, and rushed towards Hildreth.
Spell, Force Duel! Hildreth forced the Wild Hunt Knight to give up attacking Ye Zhi and duel with her. This spell was favored by the Black Knight, causing Hildreth's armor to glow black, and surprisingly gaining benefits in the duel!
She leaped from her horse's back and wielded her sword with smooth and flowing sword skills, slashing at the Wild Hunt Knight, but her sword passed through his body that was like a black mist.
"Use elemental damage!" Ye Zhi reminded, then touched the snowy owl beside him, and the inspiration of "heroism" flowed into the snowy owl's body.
It was daytime, and the Snowy Owl suddenly opened its eyes wide, with a fierce look: "Gu!"
It flapped its wings and flew up, blowing out a biting cold wind, which condensed into a rain cloud above the heads of the Wild Hunt Knights.
Hail and sleet suddenly fell with a terrifying force, instantly disrupting the Wild Hunters' formation.
Sora's pupils shrank slightly.
Ye Zhi's Snow Owl has actually learned a third-level spell! Hildreth fell back on the horse, tightened the reins, and used Frost Slash to fight against the Wild Hunt Knight, instantly gaining the upper hand.
The commanding knight of the Wild Hunt saw that the situation was not right and rushed towards Ye Zhi himself.
A black wind enveloped his body, and Ye Zhi felt a strong fear in his heart, but he was not worried about the state of fear! A brilliant white light shone in his palm, and Ye Zhi pressed the white light into his chest, releasing his "heroic spirit" to himself, while removing the state of fear, he cursed at the commanding knight:
"Look at you, you are selling your head!"
The commanding knight looked down and saw that the black horse under his crotch was gradually dissipating into black mist, which was a sign that the spirit was on the verge of collapse.
The commanding knight looked deeply at Ye Zhi, raised the flag high, and a strong wind blew past, and he and the other four Wild Hunt knights all disappeared.
All was quiet.
Yeats inspected everyone and counted the losses.
"It's good that no one is hurt..." Ye Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his empty palm, and his face changed.
No, the book was taken away by the black wind just now!
Are you all grabbing the pornographic book? The prompt sound in his ear made Ye Zhi stunned on the spot.
"You have gained the favor of the King of the Wild Hunt."
"You have learned new combat techniques."
"Combat Skill: Disarmament: When you attack an enemy with a weapon and hit it, you can make the target drop the item it is holding."
Ye Zhi: “…”
The King of the Wild Hunt also looks quite unserious.
