Chapter 76: Ragnarok, Old and New Era
The silhouette of the shadow cavalry disappeared, and the howling of the cold wind echoed among the cliffs.
The scene when the Wild Hunt crosses the border is like a group of ghosts passing through the gray and snowy sky.
Gray came back to her senses, with a worried look in her eyes, and looked at Yeats who had just faced the black fog. Seeing that he was safe and sound, she was relieved.
It is said that humans captured by the Wild Hunt will be kidnapped and join their army to become part of the ghosts.
Herod took off his eagle helmet, his red hair fluttering, his stern cheek expression softened slightly, and he whispered: "As long as you're okay."
Yeats nodded silently, confused for a moment about Wild Hunt The true thoughts of the king.
“The power of the Wild Hunt is strongest in winter, from the icy islands where huge waves crash on the shore to the snow-capped mountains, they are everywhere.”
Yeats thought to himself : "Even the Goddess of Winter can't stop the King of the Wild Hunt from crossing the border. At most, she can restrain his power... I don't know what kind of existence he is."
"Although he was snatched away by the ghost knight of the Wild Hunt. "The Travels of the Great Emperor of Lorraine" Yeats thought to himself, "But the King of the Wild Hunt didn't let it go in vain and gave me a new combat skill."
Disarming, this combat skill needs to be performed at close range and can be used in conjunction with the stabbing sword. It can be called a swordsmanship.
When Yeats imagined using the stabbing sword to unleash this combat skill, he remembered the steps and sword movements in his mind, and his body seemed to have muscle memory and was eager to try.
Yeats thought to himself: "My physical condition has greatly improved after eating the apple of youth, and I am fully qualified to become a knight of the first ring."
It is worth mentioning that knights have different beliefs, depending on their beliefs. It can be divided into different professions such as Storm Knight, War Knight, and Holy Light Knight, and release different combat skills.
Hilud is one of the divinely chosen knights of the Black Knights. She is a super-standard being and can easily crush knights of the same ring.
It's like Yeats is the poet chosen by the goddess of art, and the bards in the same circle can't criticize him at all.
The "disarm" combat skill granted by the King of the Wild Hunt is a universal combat skill that can be used by knights regardless of their faith.
"Since my panel is compatible with multiple powers... is it possible for me to become a Wild Hunt Knight?"
Yeats shook his head.
It is not yet known whether the King of the Wild Hunt is a friend or foe.
The Night Goddess and the Moonlight Goddess are mortal enemies who become red-eyed whenever they meet, and they offend each other in the same way.
The goddess of mist is a pure and happy person.
The goddess of magic only favored my owl, but she ignored me and left me no magic talent.
The only thing that can be sure that it will not harm me now is to choose me as God’s chosen goddess of art and youth.
This shows that the thighs of my own goddess feel better when hugged!
The journey continues.
Sora was still frightened and said in a deep voice:
"I am lucky this time. If we encounter the Wild Hunt Legion led by the King of the Wild Hunt, that kind of army will only have the Holy Light. Only the Knights can compete."
Having just experienced a battle, Gray was so hungry that he took out the bread from the bag, took a few bites, and said vaguely:
"The King of the Wild Hunt should be. You won’t show up with the ancient white dragon, right?”
Yeats handed his dry food bag to Gray with an expressionless expression: "Eat more."
"Huh?" Gray chewed the bread and opened her clear eyes.
Yeats remained silent, returning home like an arrow. As he passed through the canyon leading to the Temple of Winter, he saw two huge ice demons standing majestically, as if two glaciers were blocking the road ahead.
When he came back last time, Yeats had not seen the two ice demon statues yet, so he was in a hurry and prepared to take a detour.
"Woo--" The snow leopard suddenly raised its head and whined, the frost mark on its forehead shone slightly, and the eyes of the ice demons standing in front and on both sides lit up with blue light.
Yeats's face changed slightly, and he patted the snow leopard on his crotch to signal it to shut up. However, he saw two ice golems slowly making way for a passage as if they were obeying the snow leopard's orders.
The Argonian Soraben had already drawn the sword from his back, and his eyes widened when he saw this scene.
"These two ice golems, obey your orders from Snow Leopard?!"
Hilud muttered: "These two ice golems...should be serving the Frost Goddess. "
At this time, Yeats heard the voice of a mature woman and looked up, only to see an adult snow leopard standing at the top of the canyon with close eyes.
"I just made these two ice golems in preparation for the cold wave." Suddenly, the snow leopard jumped down from the high cliff, stepped on the ice golem's body and landed in front of Yeats and others.
"I have completed the commission you gave me and am ready to return to the territory." Yeats said.
The snow leopard nodded and said with a smile: "Let me escort you for a while."
As it said, its eyes emitted blue light, and the two ice golems came as if obeying the order. When you reach both sides of the canyon, you feel like a door god.
The snow leopard came to Yeats and walked side by side with the little snow leopard. The little snow leopard rubbed his neck intimately and shook its tail. The snow leopard also stretched out its tongue and licked his head.
With this guardian beast accompanying him, the safety is greatly improved. Yeats took advantage of the opportunity to raise questions about the Wild Hunt, but saw the snow leopard shook his head:
"About the King of the Wild Hunt, I also We don’t know much, but we can be sure that there was no King of Wild Hunt in the last era.”
“What does the last era mean?” Gray asked strangely.
“At that time, the faith of Holy Light had not yet been born, and the gods were fighting endlessly, and finally ushered in a catastrophe...”
Snow Leopard whispered: "Most of the records about the previous era have been erased, but I am convinced that there are still gods from the previous era who are still alive today, and my Lord Winter Goddess is one of them."
Hilud was surprised: "The existence of the Winter Goddess is older than the Holy Light?"
Snow Leopard sighed: "Rather than saying it is ancient, it is better to say that our Lord has been resurrected in a new era, with divine power. It’s not as good as before. Of course, this era is much more peaceful than the last era.”
Yeats frowned slightly.
According to the plot background of "Phantom Wings", at the end of the last era, a major event called Ragnarok occurred, and then a new era began.
In Ragnarok, all the old nine-ring true gods died. Finally, in the new era, a group of dead gods were resurrected one after another, but some gods were buried forever in Ragnarok.
Officially it has been made clear that Thor, the God of Thunder and Storm, is the old god resurrected in the last era.
I didn’t expect that the goddess of winter was also an old god.
The King of the Wild Hunt didn’t exist in the last era? So it shouldn’t have been long before He was born? How could he have the confidence to despise the Holy Light?
Yeats scratched his head.
That being said, let’s eat first.
Speak of ingredients, and they arrive. An ice toad that does not know whether to live or die buries its head in the snow to disguise itself, waiting for travelers to pass by and suddenly jump out of the snow.
This ice toad is about the size of a horse. Its gray-white skin is covered with light blue tumor-like lumps. Its huge mouth is full of small sharp teeth. It quickly stretches out its tongue and wraps around the snowy owl. , dragging it towards his bloody mouth.
Snowy Owl was furious, but could not break free from the shackles of the tongue roll, so he used the magic of giant enlargement on himself.
The Ice Toad looked at the snowy owl that was getting bigger. He retracted his tongue in shock and widened his eyes.
Frost spells are ineffective against this ice toad, and its sac contains cold poison. A forceful attack will detonate the cold poison, causing the meat to taste bad.
Yeats successfully made the ice toad close its eyes with a sleep spell, and then let the guardian beast snow leopard use its thunder claws to electrocute the ice toad from the inside out at close range.
Snow Leopard was still a little surprised as to why he subconsciously obeyed Yeats's instructions. Then when he saw him handing him a piece of cheese, he lowered his head and licked it involuntarily, wagging his big tail.
“Woo!” The little snow leopard raised his head and said that I want it too!
Yeats handed over the cheese and rubbed his chin in front of the cute little snow leopard rolling in the snow as if he had taken catnip.
I didn’t add ice to the cheese either?
Hilud: "..."
The guardian beast was just talking about Ragnarok, but now it has become like a big cat.
I am afraid that Yeats’ culinary skills were not inherited from the previous era!
"Yeats, it's getting late, let's have dinner——"
Gray's eyes suddenly widened, looking at Yeats who was squatting in front of the ice toad and gesticulating with a knife, and said in panic:
"You don't want to eat this ice toad, do you?"
Yeats: "What else?"
"It's covered with tumors! It's poisonous and looks disgusting!"
"Wouldn't it be better to eat its legs?" Yeats said.
Gray was stunned, with a strange look on his face, and said:
"I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so I stopped eating..."
