Chapter 200 Herod's Boundary Breakthrough (2-in-1)
A silver dinner fork was inserted into a crab spider that was deep-fried until golden and crispy, and steaming juices dripped out.
Gray raised her fork tremblingly and looked at the fried crab spider in her hand, with cold sweat on her forehead.
“It’s your turn to test the poison, Gray!” Yeats even used his gift of ‘charisma’ and encouraged, “Come on, one bite at a time!”
Gray laughed twice. Voice.
The eye-catching sight of crab spiders crawling out of a lake filled with poisonous algae flashed through my mind.
Suddenly, Gray felt that her scalp was numb, her hands were a little unruly, and her whole body was resisting this strange delicacy.
“Ah, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do... Uh, uh!”
Yeats didn’t give Gray a chance to react and grabbed the fork from her hand. , personally fed it into Gray's mouth.
Gray's eyes widened, her white cheeks showed a look of horror, she covered her mouth with her delicate hands, speechless.
One bite and your mouth is full of juice.
Gray shuddered, closed her eyes tightly and chewed as if resigned to her fate, then opened her eyes blankly.
“Huh?”
Gray tilted her head and chewed the fried food in her mouth with surprise on her face.
It’s actually quite delicious? !
Yeats observed the interesting changes in Gray's expression and asked: "How does it taste?"
Gray's throat rolled as she swallowed the fried food, her expression was a bit complicated, and she whispered:
"The taste is almost the same as fried chicken nuggets..."
"Gu~"
The snowy owl flew over with its wings and landed on the stone stove. It converged its wings and leaned over to pick up a piece of meat. A deep-fried crab spider immediately squinted his eyes with satisfaction.
"This is just an appetizer. The main dish is crab and spider meat fries with tomato sauce."
On the table, the fries are beautifully presented and the aroma is tempting.
Yeats introduced: "It tastes similar to crab meat. It has the effect of increasing poison spells and can strengthen your poison dragon breath spell."
Compared with the appetizers, this dish It seems much normal, at least the appearance is still within Gray's acceptable range.
Under Yeats's suggestion, Gray picked up a piece of crab spider poutine with her hands, dipped it in ketchup and took a bite. She was stunned for a moment.
The taste is sweet and delicious, and the silky crab spider foot meat is almost similar to the crab leg meat of the king crab. It also has a strange aroma of vegetation, which I think is related to its long-term soaking in the algae lake.
Had she not seen it with her own eyes, Gray would not have believed that this meat was taken from the terrifying giant spider that fought fiercely with the snow leopard last night!
And as Yeats said.
Gray can realize that he is more comfortable controlling the 'Dragon Breath Technique·Poison'.
Behind this promotion, Yeats, the gourmet chef, undoubtedly made great contributions!
In troubled times, every ounce of strength is extremely valuable. After walking with Yeats for so long, Gray gradually realized that it would be a bit ungrateful to refuse the food cooked by Yeats because of personal likes and dislikes. .
Just treat the food made by Yeats as a magic potion... Gray thought... just bite the bullet and take it from now on!
Not to mention.
Magic potion, how can the food made by Yeats be so delicious?
Looking at Yeats with a teasing look in his eyes, Gray's cheeks slowly turned red and she cleared her throat forcefully:
"Okay, I'm sure this dish is edible. As for the taste."
Gray muttered: "It's unexpectedly delicious..."
Yeats showed his early An expected smile.
This is the nature of humanity!
Klan walked into the hall, looked at Yeats sitting at the long dining table, and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency Yeats, Mr. Anthony from the Adventurer's Guild came to visit just now. I have some good news to share with you!"
Yeats invited Crane to have breakfast, and he spoke slowly, and he readily agreed.
After sitting down, Crane looked at the dinner plate and was stunned: "This dish is..."
"Fried crab spiders." Yeats smiled and said, "Mr. Crane , try it?”
Klan was confused.
Crab spider? That kind of thing can actually be eaten?
Immediately, Crane remembered the scene of Yeats cooking jellyfish, and suddenly said:
“I almost forgot, you are also an excellent gourmet!”
In fact, the other auras of Baron Yeats were too dazzling, covering up his talent in gastronomy.
Of course, compared with the attainments in art and animal training.
Crane felt that food was probably Yeats's most insignificant ability.
Yeats smiled and nodded, and said, "Try it?"
Klan tasted it generously and was immediately amazed.
“You can actually cook crab spiders into such delicious food... I guess the oil used is not olive oil, but more like high-quality marine animal oil?”
The vast sea is home to countless ferocious sea beasts, but it also contains precious wealth.
The Fishing Saint's "Angler's Illustrated Book" records many strange sea beasts, as well as their characteristics and values.
The fat of the giant whale king is not only an extraordinary material for high-ring potions, but also a precious cooking oil. A small amount can make the taste of food even better.
Crane speculates that Yeats used precious marine oil to make the fried crab spiders taste so delicious.
“Almost.”
Yeats said this, and then asked, “What is the good news you just mentioned?”
Crane briefly summarized Anthony's words, saying that this high-level executive from the Adventurers' Guild would pay three thousand gold coins in his own name, on the condition that Yeats's deeds of hunting hags be publicized as a positive case.
When Yeats heard this number, he couldn't help being a little shocked by Anthony's wealth.
Three thousand gold coins? Teacher Candela can't come up with so much working capital in one go.
Old guy, he’s quite good at exploding gold coins!
“Actually, this reward comes entirely from Anthony’s personal will.” Crane said, “He believes that publicizing your example will help establish the justice he pursues... Although, I don’t Understand what justice means.”
Yeats couldn't help but think of the allusion about Zigong redeeming people.
After Zigong redeemed slaves from other countries, he refused the country’s compensation and was criticized by Confucius, who believed that receiving compensation would not damage his character; but if he did not receive compensation, no one would redeem him. His own compatriots who were killed.
According to Yeats’s understanding, if you praise doing good deeds without asking for anything in return, then fewer and fewer people will do good deeds.
The three thousand gold coins given by Anthony are certainly a huge sum of money, but if it can encourage more adventurers to hunt evil spirits, this will undoubtedly be in line with his so-called "justice".
Although he had never met Anthony, Yeats felt a sense of recognition for the old man from the Adventurers Guild.
In this operation to hunt down the hag, Kelan contributed a lot. After all, he was a real fourth-ring transcendent, but he said that it would be enough to split the account between 30 and 70.
To sum up, Yeats received a total of more than two thousand gold coins. Counting the reward for hunting the flying dragon, it was enough to buy another space bag and let Gray bring it.
Yeats plans to fill Gray's space bag with healing potions and poisons prepared by himself, as well as magic scrolls drawn by Snow Owl... to highlight a teamwork.
After all, Gray is the strongest "main C card" under his command.
Yeats secretly thought that if she could visit Gray's hometown one day and follow the plot line of "Land of the Dragon", she might be able to "break through the boundaries"!
According to the game plot, Hillard should be experiencing her personal main plot now, and Yeats has no intention of intervening.
“When we meet next time, it will be Jie Xilu De.”
Yeats thought secretly: “Maybe we can bring back a legendary weapon to the territory, the sword in the tree!”… …
Beijun Kingdom, ruins of the ancient royal city.
The wind and snow were howling, and the snow-covered cliffs were full of ruins. The cold wind blows, like the trumpet of a heroic spirit. Through the ruins in the heavy snow, you can still get a glimpse of the majestic and magnificent Royal City of the Beihai Empire.
In the ruins of a collapsed palace, under a stone wall sheltered from the wind, a weak bonfire swayed with the strong wind.
The Argonians stretched out their hands, warmed themselves by the fire, breathed out a breath of white mist, followed a nearby huge root exposed out of the ground, and looked at the huge ancient tree on the high slope outside the city.
Asgardian ancient tree.
A towering giant tree that has experienced thousands of years of wind and frost. Legend has it that its history is older than the first king of mankind.
Compared to the name the red-haired king named it after the legendary divine kingdom "Asgard", people prefer to call it the 'Little World Tree'.
In the past, the royal city relied on ancient trees to build the city. People admired the greatness of the ancient trees and praised the immortality of the empire.
And when the royal city fell, a raging fire ignited in the ice and snow, and all the glory dissipated with the dust. Only the ancient trees witnessed the rise and fall of history.
Even though the rebel army set the royal city on fire, they did not take action against the ancient tree. After the royal capital moved to Oslo by the sea, only desolation and heavyness remained here.
The Argonian Sora frowned and his eyes flickered.
Since arriving in the northern border, the two of them have been unable to move even an inch.
As the claimant to the throne of the North, Shirud has too many enemies: the current King Hallag, the ambitious Snakebone Duke of the southern islands of North County, and a large number of northern tribes who hate the red-haired king and his descendants. of orcs.
On this trip to the ruins of the royal city, Hilud killed a four-ringed orc assassin who was accompanying him all the way, and followed the clues to wipe out an underground organization of Dark Night Believers, alerting the elders of the Assassin Alliance to take action.
Hilud had already anticipated this, so he and Sora split up and made an appointment to meet at the ruins of the royal capital.
Later, Sola found out.
This elder is a fox-man from the Isu tribe who is famous for his quick movements. As a five-ring strongman, he is good at using double swords. He once put Shilud to death. Shilud managed to escape with the blessing of the black knight.
Although he has temporarily avoided the elder, it is still unknown when he will find this place.
The way to break the situation is hidden in these ruins.
Sola looked at the towering ancient trees in the distance and remembered the legend about the red-haired king and the sword in the tree.
Lord Sirud has the favor of fate...
Although many times, what this bloodline brings is more of a curse!
"It has been almost three days, and there is still no news from Sir Hild, and there is no response at all through SMS."
Sora suppressed the anxiety in his heart and murmured:
"Forget it, I have to believe that she will not be buried here before marrying Baron Yeats..."
*
Asgardian ancient tree.
The tree trunks tower into the clouds, the tree canopy covers the sky and the sun, and the leaves shine with divine brilliance, creating a barrier flowing with the brilliance of runes.
In the barrier.
The nameless realm of divinity unfolds.
This is a huge square, with a rune stone standing in the center of the square.
Surrounding the square is a desolate ancient battlefield on the seaside, with waves washing away numerous broken swords.
Cang! clang! clang!
The fierce clash of swords echoed continuously, the sword skills collided violently like a shower, and the air was torn into turbulence by the sharp blades.
The Valkyrie wore an eagle helmet, her red hair was flying in the strong wind, her blood-red cloak made a hunting sound, and she suddenly thrust out a sword amidst the light and shadow of the sword!
The one-eyed old man in ragged clothes, wearing an eyepatch and a hat, stood in front of Hilud, his one-eyed gaze calmly staring at the stabbing edge of the sword.
The pupils under Hilud's helmet suddenly shrank, and the familiar killing intent locked onto him again.
The sword skill that seemed to transcend cause and effect cut off all possibilities of dodge!
However, for more than ten days, Hilud was either fighting swords every day, or sitting on the cold sword hill and thinking about his sword skills.
In this divine realm, even if you die, you will immediately return to your original state.
Therefore, Hilud kept trying various strategies to defeat the one-eyed old man.
The one-eyed old man's moves are all traceable.
Hilud even wrote down the strategies for dealing with each sword, whether to dodge, parry, or roll.
Even the one-eyed old man’s fatal sword attack, Hilud has memorized the method to defeat it!
She jumped into the air and performed a sword dance as gorgeous as water flow. The sword skills were intertwined into an airtight sword net, weakening the old man's deadly sword power.
Zheng!
The sword in Hilud's hand was broken in the middle, and the flying blade made a sharp sword cry, while the old man's sword went straight to Hilud's throat!
The fear of death once again enveloped Hilud.
A picture of a silver-haired boy roaring and throwing a spear suddenly flashed before her eyes under the sky of lightning and thunder.
Her hand holding the broken sword suddenly tightened, and with unreasonable and miraculous sword skills, she blocked and broke the sword's force, and struck the old man first!
Wow!
The violent cyclone gradually subsided.
The figure of the one-eyed old man has turned into mist and drifted away.
Hilud was soaked in sweat.
She took off her helmet, revealing her mutilated face with scars. She closed half of her eyes, wiped the sweat dripping down her chin, and murmured unconvincingly:
"Passed... ”
Herod found this trial site based on the guidance of the Black Knight.
However, even the Black Knight does not know which god the divinity of this trial place belongs to.
After entering the trial site, Hilud touched the rune stone standing in the center of the huge square. Then, the nameless one-eyed old man appeared in his incarnation and challenged her to a duel.
Caught off guard, Hilud was killed instantly, then resurrected outside the square, and the old man disappeared.
Hilud then understood that death was not the biggest difficulty in this trial.
How to find the only way to defeat the unknown old man in the constant death... This is the key to clearing the level!
In the midst of constant quantitative changes, Hilud completed a qualitative change and successfully killed the old man, but he still received no feedback.
At this time.
The majestic and powerful declaration echoed in the square.
“I am the King of Kings.”
"Unparalleled achievements, dare to impress God!"
The fog surged in the sky.
The unknown old man appeared again.
Under his seat, the black mist gathered into an eight-legged horse.
The one-eyed old man rides on the divine horse, holding a huge sword surging with fire in both hands!
Compared with the skinny old man just now, the old man on the divine horse now shows a monstrous intimidation of contempt for the gods!
Hilud looked solemn.
There is actually a second trial?
This gatekeeper composed of nameless divinity, full of oppression like a god, stopped in the center of the square.
However, Hilud had never heard of such a one-eyed old man existing among the righteous gods today!
Suddenly.
Hilud recalled a figure and was filled with doubts.
"Why does this figure look a bit like...the King of the Wild Hunt?"
