Chapter 349 Return and shock, "I win twice, it's a win-win!" (7K)
White Night City, living room.
The dome hangs high, the dark red curtains touch the floor, the long oak table is beautifully carved, surrounded by high-backed seats, and the room is filled with the smell of incense.
Colin had a solemn face, wearing silver armor and a dark red cloak, standing behind Princess Theresa in a white dress as white as snow, with an imperceptible look of shock in his eyes.
The Duke of Honeysuckle is a powerful figure in the north. As a powerful leader in the northern province, and with bards praising his deeds, he has become a well-known figure in the Golden Lion King.
Bards often like to exaggerate, comparing Duke Honeysuckle to the demigod hero in the epic, calling him the most legendary bard today, the most powerful in the continent!
However, Colin had fought alongside Yeats and knew his strength.
The five-ringed hero, the Duke, who is the mainstay of the kingdom, is enough, but he still needs at least more than ten years of experience before he can reach the master realm that symbolizes the strongest person in the continent!
However.
Peering into Yeats's faint aura, Master Colin, who wielded the legendary combat skill 'Sword of Dawn', his pupils shrank and his heart was full of disbelief.
Could it be that I'm dazzled?
But this master's will that permeates the invisible realm of creation cannot be fake!
But...how is this possible?
How long has it been since he was promoted to a five-ring hero? How could he become a master again?
Stop and stare for a moment.
Colin firmly believed in his judgment.
Duke Yeats, he was really promoted to the Sixth Ring Master!
Colin's expression remained normal, his breathing became tight, his chest heaved, and there was a turmoil in his heart.
What happened in the past few months when Duke Honeysuckle disappeared?
How could his strength undergo such an astonishing change? !
Colin couldn't wait to ask Yeats face to face.
But during this visit, he was serving as Princess Teresa's bodyguard, so speaking rashly was undoubtedly an overstep.
Take a deep breath.
Colin glanced at the princess with soft eyes from the corner of his eye, forced himself to calm down, and nodded silently towards Yeats.
See this.
Yeats smiled slightly.
He deliberately released his sixth ring aura.
If it hadn't been like this, with the cover of the dark night's fighting spirit, Colin wouldn't have been able to see the clues.
The reason why he wanted to reveal his strength was also to prepare for his future cooperation with Colin.
As one of the few six-ring combat forces in the Golden Lion Kingdom, Colin will become an important candidate to assist Theresa after Teresa ascends the throne. In front of him, the stronger the strength he shows, the more powerful he will be. A high enough voice.
As for Teresa, with her current eyesight, she could not see the change in Yeats's strength. She just felt that His Excellency the Duke's spirit was more majestic than before, his voice was calm and powerful, and his whole person exuded an aura that was inviolable.
"Your Excellency, the Duke, I came here to invite you to the royal capital and stay for a while."
Teresa's skin was as white as snow, her blond hair was like a waterfall, her voice was melodious, and she said softly:
"Father, he misses you very much, and there are some things he wants to discuss with you alone... It is not convenient for other dukes to know these things."
In the second half of the words, Teresa seemed to remember the current physical condition of the Lionheart King. Her eyes were slightly lowered, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, which was keenly caught by Yeats.
As each other's confidant, Yeats quickly deduced Lionheart's intention in doing so.
The royal capital has been the center of power struggles since ancient times, and it often falls into conspiracies and disputes when the throne is handed over.
Before ascending the throne, the royal capital needed to have a noble with a strong say in order to protect Teresa's coronation.
If he only had the strength of the fifth ring, Yeats would still be hesitant, worried about whether he would encounter a dilemma that he could not solve.
But now that I am a master of the Sixth Ring, and the country-protecting war beast Lieyang Fighting Lion is here, I have to put myself down!
The fist is the last word, and political power comes from the barrel of a gun!
Yeats secretly thought, I will protect Theresa, the crown prince, and help her ascend the throne. I will be a hero in protecting the country!
Once the plan is successful, the Golden Lion Kingdom can become an important backing for him even in the future fights with the Holy See, other countries and even alien races!
Facing Teresa's expectant eyes, Yeats nodded to express his understanding and said:
"After I finish handling the important matters at hand, I will rush to the royal capital in about a week!"
Relying on his prophetic advantage, Yeats had a vague hunch that during this trip to the royal capital, he would personally participate in a change of power.
But since he had already placed his bet on Teresa, he felt the need to continue to participate... What's more, it was the Lionheart King who promoted Yeats to the title of duke against all opinions.
In order to repay the favor of the Golden Platform, I supported the Jade Dragon and died for you.
This is the path Yeats chose as a time traveler.
"Your Excellency, the Duke."
Teresa breathed a sigh of relief unnoticeably, showed a soft smile, and whispered:
"Then, I won't stay here to disturb you anymore... I'm in Lundu, waiting for your visit."
Teresa's personal visit was, firstly, an invitation to Yeats to go to the royal capital, and secondly, it was also a gesture of goodwill towards the Duke as the crown prince.
"Your Majesty, the Princess, must have many important matters to deal with. It is inconvenient for me to persuade you to stay. I will wait until London to visit Your Majesty the Princess." Yeats said politely.
Teresa nodded gently and stood up gracefully.
At this time, Colin stepped forward and whispered a few words.
Teresa nodded, looked at Yeats, and whispered:
"Knight Colin still has something to ask you, Your Majesty the Duke, I won't disturb you two."
Theresa is a smart woman. Although she has a noble status and is a bloodline of the Lionheart King, she does not have the airs of being a domineering princess.
On the other hand, if one thinks too highly of two masters, it is not arrogance but stupidity.
After Teresa left.
Colin's face was serious, and he walked up to Yeats with silent steps. He hesitated for a long time and said:
"Duke Yeats...you...are already a master of the Sixth Ring?"
"Didn't you already see it?" Yeats asked with a smile.
Colin hissed, with a look of surprise on his face.
Even though he had seen this, the fact still shocked Colin greatly when he heard it from Yeats himself!
"How...how did you...do it?"
Colin asked stumblingly: "I remember... you were still in the fifth ring a few months ago... This kind of promotion speed is unique in the entire history!"
In less than half a year, he was promoted from the fifth ring to the sixth ring master. Even the reincarnation of Lorraine the Great could not do it!
Colin thought to himself that he really couldn't imagine how Yeats accomplished this unprecedented feat.
Even the Lion-Hearted King on the sick bed will definitely sigh when he hears this shocking news!
Looking at the unconcealed shock in Colin's eyes, Yeats' thoughts were like lightning.
If this question is cleared up, Colin will inevitably connect himself with the "Dark Night God" in the Plymouth incident.
Of course, the moment he revealed his Sixth Ring strength, people were bound to suspect whether he was related to the "Dark Night God's Chosen".
After all, on the night of Plymouth, a human being was forcibly promoted to the sixth ring under the dark sun. This information was not only known to the church, but also to the Lionheart King.
If he wanted to reveal his strength and reduce suspicion, Yeats had already thought of a countermeasure, which was to change the target!
"Teacher Candela..."
Yeats thought:
"I still have to trouble you and take the blame!"
Immediately.
Yeats looked at Colin deeply and pretended to be profound:
"You really want to know?"
Colin nodded vigorously.
With this appalling promotion speed, any extraordinary person would want to know the truth!
"You know, anything related to promotion is a top priority on the path to transcendence."
Yeats's eyes are sincere:
"Unless you swear an oath to your faith not to reveal this matter, I can only tell you the truth."
"Of course, what you said makes sense, I understand it very well!"
Colin nodded and immediately cast an oath spell.
After confirming the effectiveness of the oath spell, Yeats cleared his throat and said slowly:
"My teacher, Master Candela, will become the first sanctuary on the continent in a short time..."
Colin was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly widened in confusion.
Yeats spoke freely and continued:
"And it is with the help of my teacher that I have the power of six rings!"
These two sentences are both true.
Put together, it becomes a lie.
After all, Candela really will become a sanctuary.
It was with the help of his teacher ‘Scach’ that Yeats formally consolidated the six-environment world.
The deception of the Sixth Ring Trickster, coupled with the mental illusion of "Unbreakable Lies", even the master cannot find the flaw.
In addition, Yeats' words are well-founded and full of sincerity.
For a moment, Colin was convinced!
Colin was stunned by this heavy news for a long time. He opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time. He pursed his lips, swallowed, and murmured:
"So that's it..."
No wonder Duke Yeats was promoted at such an astonishing speed because of the help of his saint-level mentor!
Colin was extremely frightened... Judging from Duke Yeats's words, the first Sanctuary will soon be born on the mainland?
This thing is so amazing!
I have an obligation to report it to His Majesty the King, but I have made an oath to Duke Yeats not to reveal it...
Colin looked troubled.
Seeing this, Yeats had already understood his thoughts and smiled:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. After a week, I will go to Lundu in person and tell Your Majesty all this!"
Colin breathed a sigh of relief and sighed secretly.
At the beginning, during the Blood Spider Incident, Duke Yeats had already shown his strategizing wisdom.
I was trapped in the gentle land of Lord Blood Spider and couldn't extricate myself, but I relied on Lord Yeats's wake-up call to wake up suddenly.
But now, Duke Yeats's strength has reached the same level as mine!
Colin saw Yeats's loyalty to His Majesty.
Whether in terms of resourcefulness or bravery, Colin was completely convinced by Yeats in all aspects!
Ke Lin looked in admiration and said in a deep voice:
"The Duke's promotion to the sixth ring is a good thing for the entire Golden Lion Kingdom... Please rest assured that I will not break my oath and will be in Lundu with Her Majesty the Princess, waiting for your arrival!"
Yeats nodded.
Before heading to Lundu, I still need to take care of some important things.
These things are related to the Dark Night Sect.
My identity as the chosen one of the Dark Night God, the [Dark Night Tower] hidden in the storage ring, Helena and the Poseidon Temple...
These matters need to be dealt with personally by the Dark Night High Priest Magosha before they can be properly handled...
Night falls.
Next to the stone window of the castle, a handsome and upright young duke stood, overlooking the prosperous city, where the night market was flourishing under the lights.
The roads in Baiye City extend in all directions, making it more convenient to develop business than Chenshuang Ridge. This is determined by its geographical location. Lena, the owner of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce, moved the entire chamber of commerce headquarters to White Night City, injecting new vitality into the business of White Night City.
Currently, Yeats's territories mainly include: White Night City, Chenshuang Ridge, Baiyu Port, and Wangwhale Port. The principality is almost monolithic with the Great Wall and Jueling Mountains as barriers.
The reason why we focus on business is actually to prepare for the promotion of the 'Renaissance' movement...
This movement can weaken the influence of the Holy See, revive the belief in the gods of the old era, and at the same time provide the goddess of art with valuable power of faith.
Yeats had arranged for Miranti, the valuable talented painter who had been recruited previously, to be responsible for the design and construction of the 'Temple of Flowers, the Goddess of Art'.
According to Yeats's conception, the temple adopts an octagonal dome design, similar to the "Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore" in Florence in its previous life.
[Temple of Flowers, Goddess of Art] will become the first wonder in the territory!
Yeats remembered that the power of faith is also helpful to the strong ones at the sanctuary level.
Just like the "patron saints" promoted by the Holy See, carpenters have patron saints of carpenters, and shoemakers have patron saints of shoemakers, in order to absorb beliefs in a specific field.
Relying on his identity as the founder of the 'Renaissance' movement, he will become a holy place in the future and gain faith from all over the mainland!
Under the dark night, Yeats's eyes were deep, and the soft voice of the head maid Delphinium came from behind:
"Your Majesty the Duke, His Majesty the Princess and Knight Colin have returned to the royal capital."
"The night is already dark, so please rest early. The people of the territory still rely on your guidance..." Yeats nodded slightly and said:
"Delphinium, help me prepare a quiet room with a brazier and charcoal. I will use it."
Through the Shadow Flame Ritual, you can send messages to Margotha of the Dark Night Sect.
Although SMS can also be done, the Shadow Flame Ceremony is a symbol of the identity of the Dark Night Sect, and the information transmitted is more credible.
"As ordered." The green-haired maid said softly.
After a while.
Quiet room.
The walls are thick, dim candlelight flickers, bookshelves are tall, ancient books are placed, and dust is floating in the air.
Yeats put charcoal, night shadow flowers, black crow feathers, and obsidian crystal into the brazier, injecting a hint of night divinity.
In an instant, purple flames burned brightly in the basin, lengthening the shadows on the soles of Yeats' feet.
Kingdom of Roland, Temple of Dark Night.
As usual, Chloe came to the temple to ask the high priest for instructions.
Along the dark purple carpet, Chloe walked in quickly, looked up at the back of the high priest on the altar, and was slightly startled.
The shadow flame in the center of the altar burned brightly, reflecting the astonished high priest of Margotha.
Chloe quickly realized the change in the situation and said in a serious voice:
"High Priest, is there something wrong with the Shadow Realm?"
"No..." Margotha's voice was a little hoarse, she was dazed, and she said in disbelief, "He was chosen by the Night God... and he returned from the Shadow Realm..."
"What did you say?"
Chloe's body trembled, and she said with surprise: "The Chosen Lord is back!"
"But we haven't even opened the Shadow Realm passage. Could it be that he came back from the Shadow Realm on his own strength?" Chloe was extremely surprised.
Crossing planes is extremely arduous, and the Dark Night Sect is already prepared to use all its strength.
But now, Lord Chosen of God is back on his own without any problems! This really surprised Chloe!
Margotha shook her head.
"Honestly, I don't know what kind of methods the Lord Chosen used..."
"But what is certain is that the previous Dark Night God's Chosen will receive personal guidance from the Queen of the Shadow Realm." Margotha said with emotion, "Now that the God's Chosen has returned, he must have received an astonishing improvement in the Shadow Realm!"
< br>
Chloe looked at the blazing purple flames behind Margotha and asked:
"Then what did Lord Chosen God say? When did he return to the Dark Night Sect?"
The Divine Chosen is often a crucial figure in the sect, and is very likely to become the real power in the sect.
Margotha witnessed "Sherlock"'s stunning performance at Plymouth.
If he hadn't attracted the attention of the Dark Night Goddess at the grand festival, become the Dark Night God's Chosen One, and been forcibly promoted to the sixth ring, even Margotha herself might have fallen into the hands of Famula!
Margotha's purple eyes flashed slightly, and there was a hint of longing to meet the Chosen God in her heart, and she whispered:
"He agreed to show up in Collins Bay south of Golden Lion in three days and asked us to take Helena with us."
Helena has been living in the Dark Night Sect for more than three months, and under the guidance of Chloe, she has gradually come into contact with the world of extraordinary beings.
"High Priest, I will take Helena with you to see the Lord Chosen!"
"Well, that's fine. Let's set off overnight and go to Kerins Bay to wait for the Chosen Master... Remember to cover yourself with shadows to avoid prying eyes."
"Yes!"
*
Three days later.
Yeats wore wing boots and flew invisibly over the Bay of Collins, overlooking the harbor with ships and bustling trade.
This is the place where Yeats met Medis and obtained the [Lyre of Light] and [Wing Boots] from the nearby hills.
Yeats felt guilty for releasing the Medis pigeon before, and planned to ask Gray to catch a royal turtle together as a gift to Medis.
As for where to get the information about the emperor-level turtles... of course it is [Poseidon Temple]!
The base of Poseidon Temple is not located in the calm continental sea, but on the magnificent ice sea.
The ice sea environment is harsh, sea beasts, pirates, sea monsters, sea monsters... gather together, and the immortals are lined up like hemp.
[Poseidon Temple] was once the only faith in the icy sea where heroes gathered.
However, times have changed, Poseidon no longer performs miracles, and Poseidon's faith has gradually declined.
Currently, there are three terrifying legends circulating in the Ice Sea Kingdom.
The creature corresponding to each "horror legend" has more cards than the Poseidon.
For the pirates living in the Ice Sea Kingdom, the sound of gold coins falling into their purses is far more beautiful than the preaching of Poseidon Temple.
Poseidon? How many battleships does Poseidon have?
The Ice Sea Kingdom is nominally a free seaport, and any kingdom or individual can send ships. In fact, it is a pirate den. Only desperate guys will risk being buried in the belly of the fish and board this pirate city.
Compared to the Golden Lion Kingdom, which has a relatively stable environment, the waters of the Ice Sea Kingdom are inhabited by a large number of ferocious sea beasts, including many emperor-level creatures.
The Poseidon Temple is located in the waters of the Ice Sea Kingdom, on an island called [Poseidon Island].
Through the channels of Poseidon, there is hope to obtain information related to the Imperial Sea Beast. In addition, the materials of the Imperial Sea Beast can not only be dedicated to Medis, the Messenger God, but can also be used as materials for Snow Owl's future promotion!
The imperial owl...the owl reincarnation of Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, is nothing more than that.
In order to establish a connection with the Poseidon Temple, it was necessary for the priests of the Poseidon Temple to pick up Helena, who had the blood of the Poseidon.
Margotha has already contacted the priest of Poseidon Temple and agreed to meet at Kerins Bay today. Today is the time to say goodbye to Helena...
Secluded beach, deserted.
In the dense mangrove forest, a crab crawled across the sand and was blown over by the strong air waves. Its eight legs were swaying upwards.
Yeats landed on the ground and arrived at the agreed location. At this moment, his hair color turned dark again, and his aura also changed greatly.
Chloe and Margotha, who were hiding in the shadows, appear.
"God's Chosen Lord."
"God's Chosen Lord."
The two greeted each other in turn.
Yeats nodded in greeting, his eyes falling on Helena behind Chloe.
Under the influence of Poseidon's bloodline, Helena's hair turned towards sea blue, and her eyes were as blue as the sea water. It was obvious that she was a beautiful woman.
With a glimmer in her eyes, she looked at Yeats, whom she hadn't seen for several months, and blurted out:
"Brother!"
Yeats smiled, leaned down, rubbed Helena's head affectionately, and said:
"You've grown taller."
The ordinary words made Helena's eyes warm, and she whispered:
"Sister Chloe was taking care of me during your absence... I don't know how I can repay you... Anyway... please let me do what I can do..."
The flames of the Plymouth trial flashed before her eyes, and Helena thought to herself that if her brother hadn't desperately saved her, she would have died that day.
No matter what, I must repay him...in order to be worthy of everything he has done...
Yeats's eyes moved slightly.
Harvey, who died saving Helena, was buried in Plymouth.
Right now, for the upcoming changes in the times, letting Helena ascend the throne of the High Priest of Poseidon Temple will be the top priority of the plan.
Yeats didn't want to use a contract to restrict a little girl's freedom. As a time traveler, he still believed that treating others with kindness would result in the other person being kind in return.
"Did Chloe tell you about your bloodline?" Yeats asked softly.
Helena nodded.
In the past three months of living in the Dark Night Sect, Helena has learned from Chloe's mouth why she has become the target of public criticism and why she has the ability to cause tsunamis.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
On the day she witnessed Reverend Harvey's sacrifice for her, on the day Yeats saved her from the execution ground, a seed of hope to become stronger took root in Helena's heart.
"It's like a curse...but you said you must believe in yourself..."
Helena spoke softly, raised her sea-blue eyes, and said firmly:
"I believe in myself that one day I will be able to control this power!"
Yeats was startled, and was surprised to find that Helena had a tough character.
Suffering is not worthy of praise, but the flowers that bloom in suffering are tenacious and beautiful.
Yeats smiled slightly and said:
"The Dark Night Sect is not your destination after all, Helena. The people from Poseidon Temple will come to pick you up today, and that place will become the place where you live..."
Helena had already been mentally prepared, but hearing Yeats himself say that he was going to send her away, her eyes still turned red involuntarily.
Can I not leave? Helena wanted to say this, but she still suppressed it, her sea-like eyes kept flashing, and she nodded lightly:
"I...want to be a strength to others...just like you, brother!"
"Remember what I told you?" Yeats blinked.
"Yeah." Helena burst into laughter, "Believe in yourself!"
Margotha: "..."
Is this still the evil and dark God of Darkness?
How come he's like a considerate big brother!
Licking her red lips, a bright light flashed across Margotha's eyes. Well...actually, I like this one!
Chloe coughed lightly and reminded in a low voice: "High Priest, restrain yourself..."
Margotha came back to her senses, walked to Yeats, bowed respectfully, and said:
"Lord Chosen God, can I ask you something?"
"Speak."
"What did you experience in the Shadow Realm? How did you leave the Shadow Realm?"
Yeats' words are concise and concise, with a mixture of truth and falsehood, saying:
"Scach, Queen of the Shadow Realm, accepted me as her disciple, taught me her spear skills and magic spear, and helped me leave the Shadow Realm."
"That's it..."
Margotha's expression remained normal, and her heart was filled with alarm.
Skach, the Queen of the Shadow Realm, is a figure recorded in the history of the Dark Night Sect. The magic spear in her hand has killed many evil gods. Now she actually gave the magic spear to the Chosen Master?
It seems that this divine choice is particularly valued by Queen Skach!
Margotha's mood was complicated... It's over. I'm not going to compete with the Queen of Shadows for a man. Then I might as well be a priest!
Yeats said: "Well, by the way, [The Tower of Night] is currently in my hands and I will hold it, is that okay?"
Margotha: "Of course no problem!"
The Tower of Night is a magic weapon that can change its size freely. It is currently stored in Yeats's Space Ring.
After entering the holy realm, the Dark Night Tower can be installed into the realm and become the carrier of Dark Night's divinity.
When it comes to the Tower of Night, one has to mention its corresponding [Moon River]. According to legend, it is a river of moonlight falling from the sky. It can be used as an offensive method, or it can be shrunk and wrapped around the body as a protective weapon.
Poseidon Temple will send people to greet the God-blooded ones today. While waiting for Poseidon Temple's ship, Margotha's eyes moved slightly and she whispered:
"Sir Chosen God, there is something I need to report to you face to face..."
"What?"
"The Divine Selection Ceremony of the Moonlight Sect will be held as scheduled in three months. We must find a way to destroy it."
Margotha said coldly: "The Moonlight Sect has been at odds with our sect for hundreds of years. If the Chosen Moonlight God is allowed to come to the world, it will be a great disadvantage to our sect and must be attacked!"
"You don't have to worry about this."
Yeats said calmly:
"I will personally take action during the Moonlight Sect's divine selection ceremony!"
Margotha's eyes lit up. With the current strength of the Dark Night God's Chosen, if she personally destroyed the God's Chosen Ceremony, she would definitely be able to catch him!
"The chosen one is wise!"
Yeats thought.
I said I would do it myself, but I didn't say I would destroy it myself.
Let me become the chosen one of the Moon God, who can not only suppress the divinity of the dark night in my body, but also embrace the lap of the Moon God...
I won twice, which equals a win-win!
