Chapter 371 Tree of Life, Moonlight Sect’s Trip, Plague (7K)
In late autumn, the lord’s manor is shrouded in golden and fiery red, oaks and beech trees are dyed in autumn colors, and pomegranate and apple trees are full of crystal fruits.
A path covered with fallen leaves leads to the garden, where Yeats sits in the shade of a fig tree and plays the lyre.
The afterglow casts a layer of golden gauze on the distant mountains, the sound of music floats in the autumn, and even the migratory birds under the sunset stop.
Yeats raised his head, looked at the tits on the treetops, smiled slightly, changed the tune, and played "Dance of the Order".
In the garden, there are scenes of flocks of migratory birds, hovering over Yeats and dancing gracefully.
The maids carrying water basins walked through the garden and saw the leisurely and elegant lord, and couldn't help but purse their lips.
“It sounds good.”
The red squirrel’s red hair glowed warmly in the autumn sun, its cheeks were stuffed with nuts, and it stood on the branch, saying vaguely:
"The sound of the piano has improved again!"
"Medius is the inventor of the lyre after all. After his repair, the sound of the lyre has become clearer than the sound of Pan's Flute."
Yeats paused for a moment and smiled:
"Do you want to dance?"
Diamond suddenly became alert, raised his head and raised his tail.
The law of dancing is the magic contained in the lyre of light. Even the totem monsters of the past cannot resist the magic of the sound of the lyre!
Drill Tooth's tone was slightly cringeworthy.
"Farewell, I have to go to the forest to collect some nuts later..."
Before I finished speaking, the music sounded again, and this time the casting range covered the drill teeth. .
Zan Ya's body tensed up, but in the end he couldn't control himself and started dancing on the branches.
“Stop it!”
While Dan Ya was dancing, he looked at the smiling Yeats and shouted:
"Yeats, this is not funny!"
Grey 'Crack' gnawed on the apple, far away Standing on the garden path in the distance, the ponytail glows golden in the sun, He put his hands on his hips and said with a smile:
"You should exercise, get your teeth drilled, and find something to do, so as not to cause Yeats any trouble."
"I didn't cause him any trouble. ... Yeats brought all the trouble on himself!" Tui Ya said.
Gray was startled, remembering that Yeats would run away from home every now and then, often participating in major events related to the gods. She suddenly felt that what he said made sense, nodded thoughtfully, and took another bite of the apple.
Under the shade of the tree, Yeats, leaning on the trunk of the tree, sighed, stood up and said:
"Even if I don't ask for trouble, trouble will come to me. In this case, it is better to take the initiative... ”
Maybe this is the physique of the male protagonist of the Internet novel.
Looking at the clear autumn sky, Yeats thought wildly.
Drilling nodded sympathetically.
"However, if you don't run into trouble, who will make up for the excitement I lack?"
Yeats said: "Well said, next time I meet the totem class I'll leave it to you to deal with the monster."
Zui Ya said: "Hey, this is really my specialty!"
If he only encounters one totem monster, Zuo Ya will only die. One piece.
But if you encounter two ends...this is where the dental drill comes into play!
Fluttering -
The snow-white owl flew over, folded its wings, landed on the lawn in front of Yeats, and tilted its head.
"The magic power is not enough, right?"
Yeats understood and took out another magic crystal the size of a dove egg from the storage ring and handed it to the snow owl.
This magic crystal was purchased from the Starlight Chamber of Commerce. It contains arcane energy and is suitable for Snow Owl's practice.
The snow owl narrowed its eyes, nodded happily, held the magic crystal in its mouth, and flew away with a flap of its wings: "Gu!"
Go and learn magic from Teacher Blueberry!
Yeats translated the meaning of the snowy owl's call and rubbed his chin.
Obviously Candela is Snow Owl’s mentor, but Snow Owl seems to only recognize the little fairy Blueberry.
Having said that, Candela's magic talent is not necessarily as high as that of the little goblin Blueberry...
Candra's magic talent is extremely poor, almost the same as himself.
However, Candela is currently the first Dharma Saint in the Atrium and is a powerful figure in the continent. His experience can be summarized in one sentence.
Precipitation!
The leisure time in autumn is valuable, because in October, the Roland Knights Conference will kick off, and there will definitely be another dispute.
Prior to this, the Divine Selection Ceremony of the Moonlight Sect will be held in September, and there are only a few days left.
Yeats planned the itinerary and called out: "Grey!"
"Huh? What's the matter?"
"Let's go on a trip in a while." Yeats smiled He said, "Go to the Grand Duchy of Lucia and check out the local customs and customs."
"Okay." Gray agreed simply, but also a little strange, "Why do you think of going there?"< br>
Yeats pondered: "If you want to suppress the night divinity in my body, you must rely on the help of the Moonlight Sect. This trip to the Grand Duchy of Lucia is also to find a way to crack it..."
Gray knows that Ye Zhi Zhi became the Chosen One of the Dark Night and was trapped in the Shadow Realm for several months. Considering his current situation, he immediately knew that this journey was necessary.
"Don't worry."
Gray's face was serious and she said seriously:
"We will definitely find a solution!"
"But...why don't you contact Herod and ask her to go with you?" Gray frowned, "This trip to the Moonlight Sect will definitely be very dangerous. Having multiple helpers is a good thing, right?"
"I have contacted her recently. She is investigating the [Tree of Life] in the north and cannot get away, so we should work separately," Yeats said.
"Tree of Life?" Gray asked puzzled, "What is that?"
"Hilud's explanation was very vague, but judging from the clues she had, the Holy Tree It’s related to the origin of the Holy See’s faith,” Yeats said:
“Just like the faith of the gods comes from the [Tree of the World], the faith of the Holy See comes from the [Tree of Life].”
Gray was startled: "It sounds so complicated."
Yeats smiled bitterly: "I think so too. In the final analysis, the information currently available is too little. I hope Hilde will gain something from this trip. . ”
Even if Yeats knew the plot of the original work, he knew very little about The Tree of Life.
The Tree of Life, the full name is the Kabbalah Tree of Life.
The Holy See revered the Tree of Life as the [Holy Tree], calling it the origin of everything. It is located in the center of the Garden of Eden and is the way God created the world from nothing.
Even the cultivation paths of extraordinary people are named after the Tree of Life.
But who first proposed this term? What was the cultivation path called in the old era? None of this is known.
The World Tree and the Tree of Life seem to be opposite sides.
Based on what Medis said, the world of gods comes from other planes.
If what he said was true, Yeats speculated that the tree of life also came from another world.
In the final analysis, the Holy See and the Apostles cannot be simply equated with the Catholic faith in the previous life. They are more like some kind of eroded existence.
The truth about Ragnarok, the purpose of the Doomsday Judgment, the game between the gods on both sides... These have exceeded Yeats's understanding of the background of the game as a player, and are advancing in unpredictable directions.
Yeats couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
A desire to climb to a more powerful level.
Becoming stronger is not just to satisfy selfish desires.
It is also to protect others and seek survival, so that before the night of the apocalypse comes, I will no longer be so passive.
"Lord, Knight Ax is asking for an audience outside the garden."
The green-haired maid Delphinium came over and bowed respectfully.
“Akers?” Yeats was stunned for a moment, then said, “Invite him in.”
“As you command.”
Ax, a follower of the god of fire, was taciturn, but he took the initiative to ask for a meeting today, which was somewhat beyond Yeats' expectations.
After a while, a muscular, dark-haired man with a bee-like waist and a resolute face walked to the garden, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said:
"Lord, I ask for temporary leave. Territory, escort my wife back home.”
Ackers and his wife Lu En are very affectionate, and they have been together for many years. It was through treating Lu En that Yeats got Acker. Sri Lanka's allegiance.
Currently, Ax is at the peak of the fourth ring. He is already a strong man in the kingdom. He is fully qualified to command an army among the major families. He also possesses the 'Fire Fighting Qi'. Possess the ability to be a strong general.
Yeats looked calmly and asked: "What happened?"
"The triennial Holy Day of the Moonlight Sect is coming soon, and the Moonlight Sect must return to the sect to participate in the Holy Day Ceremony." Akers replied, "My wife, she is also a Moonlight Cultist I need to cross the sea to go to the Grand Duchy of Lucia. The journey is long. I want to escort you. I sincerely ask for your permission."
The Grand Duchy of Lucia is the seat of the Moonlight Sect and one of the seven electors of the Shenting Empire. A domain of the Duke of Benoit.
The so-called 'Grand Duke' can already be called a small king of a principality, and his children are also qualified to be named princesses and princes.
The daughter of the Grand Duke Benoit, the Elector, is Princess Celine, a saint of the Moonlight Sect, who met Yeats several times.
Hearing that Akers and his wife were also going to the Grand Duchy of Lucia, Gray looked at Yeats in surprise and thought, what a coincidence? Or is it that Yeats already knew about the Holy Days in the Moonlight Sect?
Yeats thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"I agree."
"Thank you, Lord!" Akers breathed a sigh of relief and bowed deeply.
"It just so happens that I also have plans to rush to the Grand Duchy of Lucia." Yeats said, "Akers, why don't you and your wife take a boat with me and go together."
< br>
Ax was startled, his eyes flashed with warmth, but hesitation showed on his face: "This... How dare you disturb the lord..."
"It's not about disturbing, you can discuss it with your wife. Let’s make a decision later.” Yeats smiled and said, “If you decide on the itinerary, then take the Sea Eagle with me in three days. We will depart from the North Sea and arrive at the port of the Grand Duchy of Lucia in one week. "
Ax was grateful, his eyes flashed on his resolute face, and he said sincerely: "Thank you Lord for your grace!"
After Ax left, the head maid Delphinium stood by. He muttered:
"Lord, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting the Grand Duchy of Lucia in your capacity. It would be better to discuss it with His Majesty first..."
Yeats's status in the Golden Lion Kingdom was unusual. It could be said that any action represented the position of the kingdom. It was necessary to discuss with the king before visiting.
Yeats naturally understood this important relationship and said: "I will leave immediately for Lundu."
"Grey, you stay at Sword Winter Castle and wait for my return, and we will go together in the future. The Grand Duchy of Lucia," Yeats warned.
"I know." Gray smiled and said, "Be careful on the road and be careful not to be blocked by the black pudding monster!"
Yeats smiled hoarsely.
In the autumn of two years ago, the past emerged, and in the blink of an eye, I had become a master.
Relying purely on your own efforts is a yes.
Looking around at Yeats and Gray who were smiling knowingly, Delphinium had soft eyes and a pursed smile.
No wonder the lord rejected all marriage contracts.
It seems that he has already made his choice.
Loving each other...this is really a happy thing.
*
Lundu, Lion Palace.
Dusk shrouded the lion forest, and the afterglow soaked in the lion forest. A figure in a white dress walked on the path, and a majestic lion walked majestically beside him.
Teresa’s eyes were lowered, her beautiful and flawless face looked slightly haggard, and she sighed softly:
"Every time I walk on this familiar path, I always think of how my father would deal with it if he encountered the same predicament as me..."
The Lieyang Fighting Lion's eyes were calm, as if he had penetrated the special situation. Lesa's thoughts, she said in a low voice:
"You said The predicament must be that the Holy Domain has been born in the Mage Guild, but there is not yet a powerful Holy Domain in the Golden Lion Kingdom?”
In just a few days, the news of the birth of the first Holy Domain in the mainland has been revealed. Under the propaganda of the Mages Guild, it quickly spread throughout the continent. The nations were shocked.
After being shocked and suspicious, all the kings who verified the authenticity of the news came up with the common idea of cultivating strong men from the holy realm in their own kingdoms as soon as possible.
Otherwise, you will be at the mercy of others in the struggle for power.
Facing the question of Lieyang Fighting Lion, Teresa nodded gently and sighed:
“Among the people in this country, the one who is most likely to be promoted to the holy realm is undoubtedly Yeats, but he If you have no skills at all times, if you concentrate on cultivation, you will inevitably not be interested in politics. I need his assistance, I need him to resist the foreign enemies on the northern border, I need him... to win a victory between countries for me."
"It sounds like Yeats is pretty good. Busy." Lieyang Fighting Lion said.
"So, I sometimes hate my own incompetence and regret that I can't fight in person like my father." Teresa's eyes flashed with a hint of sadness, "If my father is still alive...he will definitely become the first in the Golden Lion Kingdom. Sanctuary, unlike me, needs to rely on others for everything..."
Lie Yang Fighting Lion's tone suddenly became serious.
"Teresa, look at me."
The young queen raised her head in confusion, looking at the emperor-level monster that has survived since the founding emperor's time, only listening to the fierce sun fighting the lion Teaching:
“In this world, not only those who are well-rounded are qualified to become kings.”
"Those who know how to rely on others and are good at utilizing the abilities of others are also qualified to become kings."
"You know your own shortcomings, which means you are better than many people, and all you have to do is to utilize your own abilities." "Knowing people, knowing people, employing people, and leading them with your personality charm"
"The king has many ideas, and knowing people and employing them is the key to success." , this is also the way to become a wise king... So, instead of doubting yourself, it is better to use talents like Yeats."
Lieyang Doushi said with a smile: "The dignified art god chooses not to rely on his power. , It’s such a pity, isn’t it?”
There was a glimmer of light in Teresa’s eyes, she smiled and said:
"You are right, it is better to trust each other than to doubt each other."
The Lieyang Fighting Lion smiled silently, with deep eyes.
Being able to trust a duke with great achievements is already the gift of a wise king.
Yeats himself was also a wise man whose benevolence was greater than his ambition. Lieyang Fighting Lion had contact with him, and that was why he suggested this to Teresa.
As the founding beast, Lieyang Fighting Lion understands the pattern of Golden Lion both at home and abroad.
In terms of talent, Teresa is far inferior to Louis, the ‘Sun King’ on the other side of the ocean.
That was the British monarch who ascended the throne at the age of four, looked on coldly at the turns of the regents, and immediately took all power at the age of twenty, pushing the centralization of monarchy to its peak.
Even the Lion-Hearted King at that time couldn't help but sigh when faced with the 'Sun King' who was decades younger than him.
However, Teresa did not have to compete with Louis personally... She also had extraordinary heroes under her command.
Just like the saint who single-handedly supported King Roland to ascend the throne during the Hundred Years War.
The upcoming Knights Conference is an opportunity for Duke Honeysuckle to become famous in a foreign continent for the new king Theresa!
“Yeats himself is also a student of the holy mage Candela. Behind him is the shadow of the Mages Guild, and kings from all over the world will respect him.”
Lieyang Fighting Lion said: “As long as he can Make good use of this person... As a monarch, you have already succeeded."
Kandela's promotion to the Holy Domain has greatly improved the status of the Mages Guild in the Atrium Continent, and together with Yeats, the value of the united front has also been improved.
But the Holy See will never sit idly by. As a behemoth that has competed with the Mages Guild for nearly a thousand years, its heritage is destined to soon cultivate new powerful men in the Holy Realm.
"I think that instead of participating in the disputes on the continent, we should focus on the vast sea."
Teresa said seriously: "The news from the Ice Sea Kingdom is that the wall of fog at the end of the world has been Disappear, the world outside the fog wall is likely to determine the pattern of the new era... We must bet on the sea before other kingdoms follow suit!"
Lieyang Fighting Lion was noncommittal.
It is a war beast that protects the country and has been fighting since the days of Emperor Fred the Great.
According to its idea, it is the right way to conquer the Kingdom of Roland across the sea and follow the 'Conquering King' route that conquered the Golden Lion across the sea.
ocean? Those are just places where pirate barbarians stay. History has proven that pirates will eventually disappear!
But Teresa is the king after all, Liyang Fighting Lion said in a muffled voice:
“You are the king, follow your will.”
Teresa smiled slightly He smiled, soothed his emotions softly, and said:
“I still don’t understand many things, and I need to rely on your guidance.”
Only then did Lieyang Fighting Lion show a satisfied look, faintly aware of something amiss.
Is this the way I taught her to control people, and then she used it on me again?
"Your Majesty, Duke Honeysuckle wishes to see you!" the maid said respectfully.
Teresa's eyes were shining and she whispered softly: "Invite him in."
In the living room.
The resplendent chandelier emits soft light.
On a high-backed chair, Teresa was dressed in a luxurious purple robe, with blond hair hanging down like a waterfall, and a jeweled crown on her head, looking elegant and noble.
Wearing a crimson ducal robe, Yeats walked in slowly, bowed his head slightly, respectfully and calmly, and said: "See your Majesty."
"No need to be polite."
Queen Theresa’s voice was sweet and clear. She nodded and signaled Yeats to sit down in front of her. She said with a smile:
"Why did the Duke come here this time?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I plan to visit the Grand Duchy of Lucia in the near future, and I would like to inform you specifically."
Theresa's eyes flashed. A trace of surprise: "The Grand Duchy of Lucia is the territory of the Elector, why do you suddenly think of going there?"
"The Roland Knights Conference is coming soon, but my combat skills have not been improved for a long time. " Yeats half-truthed, "You know, I am good at moonlight magic, and the Grand Duchy of Lucia is the seat of the Moonlight Sect. I want to go there, and maybe I will gain something. "
The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window spilled in through the floor-to-ceiling curtains, coating the young queen on the high-backed chair with a golden glow. Her demeanor was more majestic than before, and her eyes were still warm and soft.
The second-in-command duke in the kingdom suddenly wanted to go to the territory of the imperial elector, so he would inevitably encounter suspicion.
But Teresa remembered what Lieyang Fighting Lion had just said, she smiled slightly and said softly:
"In that case, Your Excellency, there is no harm in going. Please bring my love to the Moonlight Sect. Goodwill."
Yeats raised his eyes and looked at Theresa, as if they had reached a tacit understanding silently -
They would not question each other and be loyal to each other.
This sense of connection made Yeats feel in a trance for a moment, as if sitting in front of him was that twilight lion of extraordinary caliber.
In the blink of an eye, Theresa's soft call made Yeats regain his mind.
"Stay and have dinner with me, Your Excellency the Duke." Teresa said softly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yeats smiled slightly and said, "I will respectfully obey your order."
Only Yeats and Teresa are not like monarchs and ministers, but more like friends. , spent an intimate and harmonious dinner time.
That night, Yeats sent a letter of visit to the elector "Duke Benoit" in the name of the Duke of Honeysuckle.
At the same time, Yeats sent a message to the Moonlight Saint Celine, saying that he was about to visit the Grand Duchy of Lucia.
However.
Unexpectedly, Yeats received a piece of bad news from Celine.
During the SMS exchange, Celine’s tone was low and she said:
"It is a great honor for you to visit the Grand Duchy of Lucia, but epidemics are rampant in the principality. It is not recommended that you visit in the near future..."
"Epidemic? What kind of epidemic is it?"
"Initial judgment, it is The plague has infected tens of thousands of civilians, and among the priests sent by the Moonlight Sect to treat them, there are also those infected with the plague... This disease is so powerful that even extraordinary people will be infected. "
Plague!
Hearing this fierce name, Yeats felt a chill in his back.
This disease has a better-known name than the plague.
The Black Death.
It caused a loss of one-third of the population in the Middle Ages and claimed tens of millions of lives!
More than two hundred years ago in Shenting Continent, the Black Death was also rampant and was regarded as a curse cast by the "Lord of Plagues".
It was precisely because the Black Death intensified social conflicts that people targeted witches, believing that witches were the culprits of these disasters, which indirectly triggered the witch-hunting movement that lasted for hundreds of years.
Even though he was blessed by the goddess of youth and ignored the epidemic, Yeats still couldn't help but feel a beat in his heart when he heard the notorious name of the disease.
However, this trip to the Moonlight Sect was a must.
Otherwise, only dark night combat skills can be used at the Knights Conference, which is no different from self-destruction!
Taking a deep breath, Yeats calmed down.
It is impossible for the Sixth Ring Master to suffer from the disease, unless it is a curse imposed by the Lord of Plague himself.
Yeats once witnessed the Duke of Suffolk, who had the strength of the fifth ring, because he could not bear the pain caused by the epidemic, he took refuge in the vampire family and used vampire blood to reduce the suffering of the epidemic.
"Has the cause of this epidemic been ascertained?" Yeats asked.
Celine said bitterly: "It is not an infectious disease caused by bacteria, but some kind of curse, otherwise it would be impossible for even extraordinary people to be infected... As for the source of this curse, we are still investigating. ”
Speaking, Celine sighed softly.
“If the curse is not lifted before the Holy Festival, then we can only rely on the moon god to send a miracle...”
Yeats hissed.
The situation that we least wanted to see happened.
Zhongting Continent already has an understanding of bacteriology. This microscopic existence in the realm of creation can also be used by necromancers to become the energy source for spells such as 'pandemic rays'.
The plague curse is a hundred times more terrifying than the plague, and behind it is most likely the [Lord of Plagues] who ravaged the entire continent a hundred years ago!
Even in the original work, there is very little information about the Plague Lord. Players initially infer that he possesses powerful divine power and is an existence on the same level as the Moon Goddess and the Night Goddess.
If the epidemic in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is really brought down by the Lord of Plague, then as Celine said, only the miracle of the Moon Goddess can save this crisis...
However, the epidemic is rampant, why? When the divine selection ceremony is about to come?
Yeats frowned, always feeling that things were too coincidental.
No matter what, you still have to go and investigate in person to get the qualifications to be chosen by the Moonlight God!
"The Medical Knights have also sent people to the Grand Duchy of Lucia." Celine whispered, "Now my father and the elders of the sect are worried every day, and they have no spare time to entertain the Duke... ”
"No need to entertain."
Yeats thought of an excuse and said:
"I was entrusted by my teacher to track down the whereabouts of the Lord of Plague, and I am also good at medicine. This trip to the Moonlight Sect should also be I can provide you with some help."
Celine was stunned for a moment and said in a surprised tone: "Your teacher...you mean..."
Kandela's achievement in the Holy Realm is at the top. Everyone knows among the forces.
It was no longer a secret that Duke Honeysuckle was Candela's student.
Yeats’s intention to come was well-founded and even gave Celine a glimmer of hope in overcoming the crisis!
On the other side of the message, Celine took a deep breath, restrained her excitement and joy, calmed down, and said:
"So, you suspect that this epidemic in the Grand Duchy of Lucia will be related to Is it related to the legendary Lord of Plague?”
Hearing Celine’s convinced tone.
Yeats secretly thought that the name of Sanctuary is still useful, so he can only blame Teacher Candela for taking the blame again!
“Yes, my teacher once investigated the Black Death more than two hundred years ago and found that although the Black Death has ended, it has not completely disappeared. Its recognized source, the Lord of Plague, still exists. "Yeats said, "So please don't worry, I will take care of myself when I come here. Forget it."
"If you can really solve this epidemic...I...don't know how to thank you..."
Celine was moved: "In short...when you arrive, I will personally take someone to greet you!”
Set up your itinerary.
Yeats returned to Sword Winter Castle and relayed to Ax and Gray the current critical situation in the Grand Duchy of Lucia.
But everyone still agreed to go.
“Beyond the apostles, there are four horsemen of the apocalypse, named famine, plague, war, death...”
An unpleasant association arose in Yeats’s heart, he shook his head and murmured Murmured:
“I hope my inference is wrong...”
Soon, Yeats adjusted his mentality again and said to himself:
"Daisy promised to show up. At worst, I will hug her thigh when the time comes."
As the Chosen God of the Mist, if you can't beat him, you will Shake your own goddess, this makes sense!
