Chapter 113 The true identity of the King of Wild Hunt? The Black Knight's Late Winter Festival
Lord's Mansion, Garden.
The sun is weak and the cold wind blows on my face.
Apple trees are planted in the courtyard, decorated with herbs such as sage, parsley, fennel, and vegetables such as cabbage, leeks, and garlic.
The Baron’s garden is not only beautiful, but also practical.
Under the cover of a honeysuckle fence, an old white-robed mage was teaching the three-ring spell 'Wind Wall Technique' to the owl.
"Wind Wall is a three-ring spell that requires mobilizing both the magic network and the wind element in the creative field. But you have magic organs in your body, so you only need to mobilize the wind element."
Kandra said: "I have just taught you the spell, and to cast this spell, you need to use a fan and a feather of a rare creature as the casting material."
Snowy Owl thought for a while and blinked. Blinking his yellow eyes: "Gu?"
Then I can use my wings as fans and my feathers as casting materials, isn't it ok?
Candela was stunned for a long time. " Why do you think of learning the 'Summoning Demon Pet' spell?"
Yeats said truthfully: "The contract I signed with Snow Owl is not a plane demon pet contract. Summoning it is not as convenient as summoning Snow Leopard. There is 'Summoning'. It would be more convenient if the Demon Pet spell can be summoned through the Demon Pet plane."
Candela nodded slowly and said lightly: "I see... Summoning is usually the specialty of the Conjuration School. I happen to be on some too.”
Wizards can usually specialize in only one school.
Candra is obviously the master in charge of the school of change among the seven members of the Mages Guild, but he is also good at others.
Yeats admitted that he had tricked him, and humbly asked for advice: "How should I learn?"
"First prepare the spell of summoning a magic pet and the required casting materials." Candela said, "In addition to spells and magic nets, you also need to prepare charcoal, incense and vanilla worth 1 gold coin to burn in the flames, and take the ashes and scatter them into the sky."
Yeats was secretly stunned.
A single use of a first-level spell costs 1 gold coin, which is enough to feed a commoner family for four months.
"When practicing, it is best to conduct experiments with live chickens and ducks. Don't use it on your magic pet until I believe that you have completely mastered it."
Candra said very seriously, "Otherwise, the space fluctuations generated during the summoning will cause great harm to your snow owl."
Yeats nodded and said: "I will not act rashly, teacher, the spell is What?”
Candra said: “Come to me”
Yeats walked up to Kandra and stared at him strangely: "Then what?"
Kandra stroked his beard and said calmly: "The spell to summon a familiar is 'come to me'."
Yeats: "..."
"To summarize the steps, you need to call the magic net, call the spell, and scatter ashes worth one gold coin into the air."
Kandra said : "Of course, as a magic apprentice, you can already start learning how to copy scrolls... Just copy the spell to summon the familiar on the scroll, and use the scroll directly when needed."
Yeats memorized the steps, and in the next two days, he began to study this spell seriously.
The live chickens and ducks that unfortunately died due to the failure of the 'Summoning Demon Pet' spell were handed over to the kitchen servants by Yeats.
In this regard, Gray was very surprised: "Yeats, how come the food in the Lord's Mansion is so good these two days?"
At the dining table, Yeats picked up a roasted chicken leg and put it in Gray bowl, said: "You can just eat yours."
Over the past two days, Yeats tried dozens of times, but all ended in failure.
However, Snow Owl successfully learned the third-ring spell 'Wind Wall Technique' in the past two days.
During the day, while Yeats was practicing hard, the snowy owl stood on the tree next to him, squinting and taking a nap.
Looking at the peaceful appearance of the snowy owl, Yeats said to himself:
“It seems like laziness, but in fact you stay up late studying every night, right?”
Finally, in In the early morning of the third day, in the back garden.
Yeats had some enlightenment and sprinkled the valuable ashes into the sky with all his strength. Thinking of the classic lines, he said in the second grade:
"Attendant, come to me!"
Ashes formed in the sky Mana fluctuated, and a summoning gap opened.
A rooster flew out, flapped its wings and landed on the ground, looking around in confusion.
"You have learned a new spell!"
"Summoning a familiar: One ring. You choose a creature that is familiar with you, leave magic coordinates on it, and summon it to you from a location no more than 100 kilometers away. After summoning the familiar that signed a contract with you You can summon creatures of more than one level. Otherwise, you can summon at most one level of creatures. Level Up: Increase the casting distance and the number of summons."
Yeats was filled with emotion.
Finally learned a new spell!
At this time, there was a sound of pushing the door behind her, and Gray looked around in confusion:
"Why are you calling me?"
Yeats said in confusion: "Who called you?"
Grey said: "Then what did you do just now calling me, servant, come to me?"
Yeats: "...Nothing. You go back."
Gray muttered and closed the door. Yeats suddenly remembered something and said:
"Wait, Gray, come with me to patrol the territory!"
Yeats rode a carrot and accompanied Gray to the forest outside the town.
The little elf met Yeats and reported on the harvest of the nugget rats in the past few days.
"It has really dug up raw gemstones. Well, this raw mine can be polished to produce garnets, which can be sold for a lot of gold coins..."
Yeats was in a good mood and couldn't help but lean over. Touched the fluffy nugget rat.
“From now on, I will call you ‘Wangcai’!”
The black mole sniffed the gold coin handed over by Yeats, hugged it and ate it, looking very happy.
Yeats left a magic coordinate on the body of 'Wangcai', and when necessary, it can be summoned through the 'Summon Magic Pet' spell. Later, Yeats met the necromancer Rishi who was explaining the 'Guide to Potato Planting' to the farmers.
The farmer greeted Yeats in awe and left at Yeats's signal, leaving Yeats to communicate with Li Xi.
"I really didn't expect, Lord Lord..." Rixi sighed, "Under your leadership, Chenshuang Ridge could develop to this extent."
When the Golden Lion King established the barony of Chenshuang Ridge, its original intention was to establish an outpost to deal with the barbarian invasion of the Jueling Mountains.
In this poor place, even survival is a big problem, but Yeats of Berlandi actually developed this territory into a town-level scale, with a prosperous market and business, equipped with crossbows and chain mail. The militiamen show more elite temperament!
Lixi was well aware of the difficulty and couldn't help but feel shocked. When he saw this respectable young nobleman, he smiled and said:
"I plan to entrust Baiyu Port to you as a knight's territory. , I hope you can manage it for me, what do you think?”
Rixi was startled and frightened, and quickly refused.
Yeats said sternly: "I trust your ability, Lixi. If you want to leave in the future, just return this knighthood to me."
Lixi's eyes were moved and he pushed up his unilateral glasses. , whispered: "I am willing to serve you..."
Back to the Lord's Mansion.
By the fireplace.
Yeats unfolds the letter sent by the carrier pigeon. This is a handwritten letter from Lena Starlight.
[To my dear Lord Baron, Lord Yeats personally writes:
I have received your letter that you are looking for a sled dog, and I will do my best to fulfill your request.
Beyond that.
Please allow me to tell you something other than business cooperation.
Actually, three days ago, I led a caravan on the Red Oak and returned to the Golden Lion Kingdom from the ice sea, when I unexpectedly encountered turbulent waters.
The encounter was so thrilling and mythical that most people didn't believe what I said.
But this matter is suppressed in my heart. I think if it were you, you might be willing to listen to these crazy words.
Getting back to the subject, the Turbulent Sea sent the red oak to the Crazy Shark Sea. You know, the legendary realm of the Crazy Shark God, surrounded by countless sharks.
I thought I was certain to die, but just as I was praying to the goddess of death, the figure of the King of the Wild Hunt appeared in the sky.
He rode an eight-legged horse, held a thunder-like spear, and killed a huge great white shark with just one blow.
It was precisely because of His appearance that the caravan and I were able to survive and return to the Golden Lion.
After this disaster, the Starlight Chamber of Commerce has been severely weakened and is no longer able to continue investing in your territory.
Please also accept my sincerest apology. Lena Starlight. 】
Yeats put down the letter and frowned slightly.
The King of the Wild Hunt rescued Lena’s fleet?
This plot didn't happen in the original work. Is it because of the butterfly effect I caused?
The appearance of the King of the Wild Hunt mentioned by Lena in her letter is crucial information.
Eight-legged horses and thunder spears, this description is very similar to the god-king Odin in Norse mythology.
But in the pantheon of "Phantom Wings", there is no main god Odin.
Yeats couldn't help but think of the 'Twilight of the Gods' and 'Old Gods and New Gods' mentioned by the guardian beast Snow Leopard.
A bold guess emerged in Yeats's mind.
“Could it be that the King of the Wild Hunt is Odin who died in Ragnarok in the last era and was resurrected in the new era, coming as the Wild Hunt?”
Yeats fell into deep thought. .
What is the purpose of the King of the Wild Hunt?
If the King of the Wild Hunt was formerly the King of Gods, then it is not difficult to explain why he dared to offend all the gods, including the Holy Light, at the same time.
But in the official setting of "Phantom Wings", there is no name Odin at all, and there is no record of the eight-legged horse or the thunder spear.
Only as a time traveler, I can know that this is Odin's appearance based on my knowledge of Nordic mythology in my previous life.
Yeats rubbed his eyebrows and thought:
"Odin's answer is so simple that it is doubtful. It is better to assume a bolder direction."
" For example, the person who stole "The Travels of the Emperor of Lorraine" was actually the Emperor of Lorraine who was so powerful that he swept across the continent..."
At this time.
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Hilud pushed the door open and walked in, with long fiery red hair and a pair of pale golden phoenix eyes looking at Yeats, saying:
“Two more days. Today is the holy day of the Black Knight, the Late Winter Festival.”
During the one-day Late Winter Festival, followers of the Black Knight will review the battles of the past year, think about strategies, analyze battles, and integrate accumulated knowledge into future battles.
"So, I would like to ask you for a day off. I am going to go to the Black Knight chessboard on the top of the mountain to pray." Hilud said.
Yeats asked curiously: "Does prayer require any offerings?"
Hilud thought for a while and said: "He favors large prey such as wild boars and wild deer. I am going to start from this Let's start with it."
Yeats said: "I'll go with you."
The holy relics of the Black Knight include king chess, war horses, falcons, and hounds.
She particularly likes strategy chess games, and Yeats’s invention of Knights of the Four Kings also meets this requirement.
“I have to ask the Black Knight to bless the war horse Carrot in my prayer.”
Yeats thought secretly: “If we can get a suitable sled dog, we can also increase our combat power!”
