Chapter 220: The God of War chooses, recruits witches, and competes to recruit a son-in-law (two-in-one)
Outside the palace, a team of armored wing cavalry has tightly surrounded the entrance, and the air is filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Yeats walked out casually, facing the cold gaze that came unexpectedly, his face remained as usual.
We are faced with majestic armor and riding equipment.
About ten riders.
The cavalrymen held spears with cross flags at the tip of the spears, and wore gorgeous helmets with metal wings on the backs of their armors. Under their crotches were Pegasus horses clad in bright silver gear.
This is actually a heavily armored hussar with both protective power and mobility.
Resembling the 'Polish Hussars', the powerful cavalry unit in Europe in their previous lives.
The difference is.
This winged cavalry under the Black Cross Knights can really charge in the sky with the help of Pegasus.
Each cavalryman is at least a second-level transcendent, equipped with standard lances, military flag spears, and sabers. Their unique iron-winged armor is inlaid with arcane carvings, and will emit soul-shocking sharp tips in the strong wind. Howl.
Under the leadership of Hastings, the 500-man Hussars once broke through 30,000 orc troops head-on, won the great victory in the Battle of Gijholm, and achieved a terrifying battle loss ratio, earning a great reputation. The famous title [Spear of the Lord].
At this moment.
Hastings, this military god-like figure under the Holy See.
Wearing a death-like jet-black iron helmet, riding on an exceptionally majestic silver Pegasus, wearing dragon scale armor engraved with runes, the black armor shone with a cold sheen in the sunlight. .
Different from Candela's gentle and restrained aura, Hastings did not hide his aura, revealing the power of the six rings belonging to the top powerhouse in the mainland.
His cavalry seemed to be familiar with this smell and did not react much, but Yeats could clearly feel that even the air had become extremely cold.
I thought the Valkyrie was invincible. Whose general is this?
Yeats felt a little solemn in his heart.
Yeats knew this guy, he was one of the top geniuses in the original work.
After entering the card pool, Gaoluo is a five-star main C character.
Hastings’s background is destined to become the top powerhouse in the mainland:
His father is one of the seven electors and a devout church believer. Under the influence of his father, Si determined to use martial arts to promote the glory of God.
By chance, Hastings became the God of War’s choice in the Atrium Continent.
As a powerful god, the God of War’s God’s Choice’s gold content is several times higher than that of the Black Knight’s God’s Choice!
Before he reached thirty, Hastings became a master of the sixth ring, and his talent could no longer be simply described as terrifying.
"Although it is an indigenous NPC, with the blessing of the God of War, this is already a BOSS-level template..." Yeats thought to himself.
At this juncture, the church sent Hastings to investigate Pedro. The real purpose was probably not to let him trace the real cause of the apostle's death.
Candra was the only Sixth Ring Master present on the day of the incident, so Hastings chose to come for questioning.
"Yeats, let me handle this. You should go back first." Candela looked at Yeats and Gray who were walking out of the palace and said gently.
Candela knew that the conflict between Yeats and the church was irreconcilable. Fortunately, he was still in the dark at least for now.
What I can do is, first, represent the Mage Guild to support this magic god. The second is to achieve the holy realm as soon as possible and clear the way for the growth of this beloved disciple.
You must know that as a co-choice of the two gods, Yeats’s future achievements will definitely not be inferior to Hastings, the ‘god of war’!
Yeats shook his head slightly, looked directly at Hastings wearing a dark iron helmet, and asked in a cold voice:
"This is me, Yeats Brondi, Morning Frost Ridge" The Baron’s residence, I don’t know what you want to do by coming here in such a big way!”
No matter how small a baron's territory is, he is still a noble. Unlike an adventurer from a humble background, he can be manipulated by the knights at will.
More importantly, Yeats’s family is also famous. Although Yeats was actually the youngest son abandoned by his family, the name ‘Berlandi’ symbolizes many meanings.
Hastings's eyes were sharp and cold. Through the iron helmet, he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and pierce directly towards Yeats.
Yeats looked calm and sighed in his heart. The secret confrontation between extraordinary people is quite simple. First, he needs to probe into the opponent's soul realm. If he succeeds, he can roughly know the depth of his strength.
However.
Yeats was not afraid of such prying.
Never mind the gold finger panel, just with the drill teeth, Yeats is not afraid of being found out.
"Huh? He is actually the God of War's chosen one?"
Dian Ya's voice of disgust rang in Yeats's mind: "No wonder he is so full of blood and smells so bad."
“Have you met the God of War before?”
"Yes, there is a strong man who has been blessed by the God of War. As long as he puts his feet on the earth, he can keep fighting no matter day or night." At that time, the devil grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, his feet were off the ground, and then he was dead."
Yeats: "..."
It's quite a bug. !
On the other side.
Hastings couldn't see Yeats's depth. After thinking for a moment, he reached out to take off his helmet and shook his long black hair.
His face showed no expression at all, like a facial paralysis. It was not as majestic as Yeats imagined, but only had a cold expression.
"I came today for one thing only."
Hastings spoke coldly, glanced at Yeats, and immediately fixed his gaze on the white-robed mage.
“Ask the guardian of the Atrium Continent for advice.”
Yeats and Candela were startled at the same time.
The Black Cross Winged Cavalry has a solemn appearance, dead silence and coldness.
Only the Pegasus under Hastings’s crotch neighed, and Yeats relied on his ‘talented linguist’ to translate.
The master is still the same, always thinking about dueling wherever he goes!
Yeats was in a complicated mood.
Fighting maniac, right?
Your setting can easily become a cushion to pave the way for the protagonist's combat power, and then his heart will be broken!
Candra stroked his white beard and said hesitantly: "Excuse me, what do you mean?"
"You and I will have a duel."
Hastings Still with that paralyzed face, he held the spear hanging on the side of Pegasus.
This spear is completely jet black, with a dark light glowing from the tip. The barrel is made of ebony mixed with dragon blood, and the tip material is said to come from the underworld.
Epic weapon, Hades.
When swiping, black flames with the aura of death will surge up.
It is on the same level as Yeats's Pan's Flute, but it is still far from the quality of Silver Sword.
Candela was a little surprised. He thought that the other party came in a menacing manner and wanted to ask for an explanation for Pedro.
He didn't take this matter to heart at all, or in other words, everything else was not as important as the duel!
"Can I ask, why do you want to fight me?" Candela asked slowly.
“I often hear that Master Kendra guarded the isolated city and killed the Shadow Prince alone.” Hastings’ tone did not change at all. “I want to know how close I am to rivaling the Holy Domain now. Distance."
Kandra's eyes flashed slightly: "Is this the purpose of you coming all the way?"
"I was ordered by the church to hunt down the remnants of the Witches' Guild who colluded with the evil god. ”
Hastings said coldly: "But I really have no interest in attacking women and children."
"You are already a strong man in the quasi-sacred realm. I can see that you must be about to attack the holy realm." Realm..." Hastings said, "I believe it will be more enjoyable for me to duel with you."
Yeats was slightly surprised, not expecting Hastings to take all his intentions so easily. Take it out!
It didn’t sound like he was lying, but it seemed like he told Candela clearly that he would either fight him or he would hunt down the witch and leave the decision in Candela’s hands.
In fact, during the few days he stayed in Sternberg, Yeats was considering whether to allow his territory to accept these members of the Witches who were hiding in the mouse hole.
Many of these members are ordinary women who were labeled as 'witches' and were persecuted but were rescued by Circe, and some are witches who have truly awakened the power of their blood.
Most of these witches are literate and have unique abilities. They are talents who can be entrusted with important tasks.
However, due to the violent turmoil caused by the aftermath of the war, how to safely transfer them out of Sternberg, which is increasingly heavily guarded, is no small problem.
No matter what, Yeats will not sit back and let Hastings and the Hussars chase the witch, and the same goes for Candela.
The white-robed mage inspected the Hussars, then looked at Hastings and confirmed again:
"You brought the Black Cross Cavalry Regiment here with great fanfare, just to have a duel with me?"
"I led the team to Sternberg just today. After receiving the news, I came here to visit Master Candela. . ”
Hastings’ face was paralyzed, with burning fighting spirit in his eyes: “If I have the opportunity, it would be an honor for me to duel with Master Candela and get guidance from my senior.”< br>
"That's it. If I don't agree, it would seem like I'm being unkind." Candela smiled, "We can't have a duel here, right?"
"Bro outside the city There is an artificially split valley in the Ken Mountains, which was not long after the birth." Hastings looked directly at the white-robed mage, "Master Kendra, you can duel with me there, and together we can investigate why the Holy Land erupted in the Broken Mountains. A matter of super war.”
At this time, Yeats heard Candela's message: "The church should have learned that Lilith and Sariel started a war, but it is not confirmed whether I participated in it. Hastings dueled with me and also wanted to probe my mouth. ."
"Yeats, Hastings and I are going to fight outside the city. You should contact Circe as soon as possible and ask her about her plan."
" Yeats replied briefly. I saw that the Pegasus under the wing cavalry all spread their wings and rose into the sky, like heavy black clouds.
The Pegasus under Hastings’ crotch is the superior race of Pegasus, majestic.
"I'll go first, Master Candela, follow as soon as possible."
Having said that, Hastings led the hussars and flew to the valley outside the city.
Candra gave Yeats a look to reassure him, and then used flying skills to follow Hastings.
Yeats rubbed his chin.
Although Hastings is keen on dueling, he challenges Candela and observes Candela's condition to determine whether he and Lilith should fight Sariel together.
Once the cooperation with the devil was leaked, although Teacher Candela had many ways to explain it, he would inevitably fall into passivity.
Hastings is not a reckless man who only knows duels, this challenge is also well-aimed.
However, Yeats believed that since Candela agreed, there would be a way to solve the matter. The top priority was to discuss the future direction of the Witches with Circe.
Yeats came to a clean room, which was empty, with an alchemy table and various potions placed there.
A little squirrel climbed out of the mouse hole, transformed into Circe's appearance, and said:
"The group of people outside the door are sent by the church, right? How can Candela agree with her? Did they leave together?”
"That was the 'Spear of the Lord' Hastings. He came to challenge Teacher Candela. He also tried to probe him to see if he had any intention of cooperating with the Witches." Yeats summarized briefly.
"Hastings..." Circe said seriously, apparently having heard of his name, "It's a big problem."
Yeats asked: "Big Priest, can you tell me what the Witches’ next plan is?”
“Our people suffered heavy losses in the Dancing Plague in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral, but at least we achieved victory and killed Pedro. , and caused the church to lose an apostle."
"The goal of the Witch Association, which is to have the church issue a ban on the trial of witches, is still far away, but as long as we persist, there will be a day when we see the light."
Circe said: "I plan to continue traveling across the continent to rescue civilian girls and witches. First... I have to lead the remaining members to find a place to stay."
Witch Hunting in European History , lasted for three hundred years, but as long as the enlightenment ideas continue to spread in this world, the ideological tyranny of the church will be broken, and the witch-hunting movement will end one step ahead of schedule.
"High Priest, why don't you lead the witches to my territory." Yeats said seriously.
Cercy was slightly startled and said in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"My territory needs extraordinary people like the witch." Yeats said seriously, "I don't Don’t be afraid of being the enemy of the church. No matter the fire, darkness or cold wave, you can’t overwhelm the weeds. I need you who are as tenacious as the weeds. I will fight unremittingly until the dawn comes.”
Circe couldn't believe that a noble from the Brondi family was willing to accept the "notorious" witch.
He even said such rebellious words as "being an enemy of the church".
But all this moved Circe extremely, and she murmured: "Why are you helping us like this, Yeats?"
"The church has made progress, but he is not Eternal light. There are also fallen people among witches, but they should never be exterminated."
Yeats's eyes flashed and he said: "The world is in such a common and contradictory contradiction, the only thing I can do is. The only way to do this is to follow your heart, fairness and justice.”
Circe looked at Yeats for a long time.
She was filled with emotions. She never thought that Yeats, who came from a noble family, could say such enlightening remarks.
"I still need to continue to rescue the suffering witches." Circe shook her head, "But the children of the Witches should not continue to wander with me. Yeats, if you agree, I will let the witches The remaining witches in the guild will follow you. "
"Most of them lack combat capabilities, so they did not participate in the battle. They are mainly responsible for logistics in the witch guild. I believe they can also provide some help in your territory. ." Circe then handed Yeats a list of names recorded on a parchment.
Currently, there are still more than ten members of the Witches Association, among which there are only three extraordinary beings named Ziying, Oriole, and Delphinium.
These names were given to them by Circe the day after tomorrow, and they also regard Circe as their mother.
Zi Ying is good at controlling plants and is responsible for the cultivation of herbs in the Witches' Association.
Oriole, who has the ability to remember photographs and has certain management abilities, often helps Circe manage the affairs of the Witches.
Delphinium used to be an etiquette teacher in the palace. Later, she was arrested due to her bloodline awakening and was forced to join the Witches.
Yeats felt Circe's trust in her from this list, so he put it away solemnly and asked about Gretchen.
"Greqin's bloodline is different from other witches." Circe said, "I plan to take her with me and personally teach her how to practice magic... She may become the next one. "The high priest."
Yeats nodded and said: "You are welcome to come to Chenshuang Ridge at any time, High Priest Cirsi."
Cercy's eyes were quite bright. Moved, he immediately asked: "Sternberg's vigilance has become more and more intense. How do you plan to lead the remaining witches to leave Sternberg?"
"I have received the news that in the near future, the Starlight Chamber of Commerce will The caravan will enter Sternberg.”
Yeats said: "I have some friendship with the owner of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce. She will allow us to leave Sternberg with the caravan."
Cercy frowned and said: "But the caravan will still be interrogated, and the target will be more Isn’t it obvious?”
“You don’t know that the Starlight Merchant Guild’s business involves the lords and the Adventurer’s Guild, and the guards will turn a blind eye.”
< br>Yeats smiled:
“We can’t really investigate, right? What if we really find out something?”
Circe was stunned and felt incredible: "How do you know these things so clearly?"
The importance of intelligence is self-evident.
Yeats still remembers that Lena, the owner of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce, lost money to her grandma's house because she was running a boat on the ice sea and strayed into the turbulent sea.
But this man is also a character. He decisively gave up the fight with the White Whale Chamber of Commerce for the North Sea trade route and chose to cooperate with Anthony of the Adventurers Guild.
Combining the clues about Anthony learned from Crane and his own memory, Yeats gradually pieced together what happened.
Anthony was engaged in the smuggling business in Sternberg. Weapons, medicines, protective gear... The smuggled stolen goods were mainly for low-level adventurers. They were high-quality and low-priced, with small profits but quick turnover, and were widely welcomed by poor friends.
But this job cannot be done by the dignified president, so Lena acted as Anthony's white glove. The two parties reached a consensus with Lord Sternberg, a third party, that it was said to be a special trade route, but in fact it was smuggling, and there was no need to Pay tithes to the church.
Although Starlight Chamber of Commerce does not earn as much as before, it can still accumulate capital again and lay the foundation for rising again in the future.
Lena Starlight As Yeats's angel investor, Yeats has always been grateful to her and thought that when he returned to the territory, he would hand over the [Whiskey] business to Lena.
Giving help in times of need is much more important than adding icing on the cake.
But this time, Yeats relied on his old relationship with Lena and planned to seek help from her again.
Of course, we still cannot tell everything about the Witches' Guild. We can only say that we will take a few people out of the city and provide appropriate rewards.
That night.
Cersei announced her decision to the members of the Witches' Society, and said that Baron Yeats's Morning Frost Ridge was willing to accept witches.
This caused a huge response among the witches.
"The Baron is actually willing to accept us?"
"Isn't he afraid of conflict with the church?"
"The old man that day turned out to be Baron Yeats, who participated in the fight against the Evil Eye Apostle The whole process is simply incredible!”
Yeats’ disguised identity has been revealed to the Witches, which has deepened everyone’s trust in him.
In this era, it is not easy to find a lord who is willing to treat witches as equals to humans, and is even willing to accept witches.
The three extraordinary beings Ziying, Oriole, and Delphinium all agreed to Circe's arrangement and were grateful to Yeats.
After all, Yeats made the greatest contribution in this incident. Without his assistance, Pedro and the apostles behind him would have wiped out the Witches.
Although escorting the witches out of Sternberg was quite troublesome, for Yeats, this was also a good opportunity to recruit talents.
Moreover, the friendship with Circe will also deepen. This is a top powerhouse with six rings of combat power.
As she wanders around the continent, perhaps other witches will come to Chenshuang Ridge in the future. This is undoubtedly a cost-effective long-term deal.
Night falls.
Candra returned to the palace, with no injuries visible on his body.
Yeats asked about the outcome of the duel between himself and Hastings.
“I used swordsmanship to duel him, so he gave up the spear he was good at and used his sword to duel me. In the end, we just ended in a draw.”
Candra He sighed: "The Chosen God of War's accomplishments in combat skills are truly astonishing."
"What was his reaction when he saw you using the sword?" Yeats asked curiously.
"He still has the same expression as before." Candela said, "However, after the duel was over, it was obvious that he was a little unhappy, even...depressed."
Ye Zhi thought about it, it was the same. It was very rare for a majestic God of War to be beaten to a draw by a mage with a sword. His Taoist heart did not collapse!
But it’s hard to say how strong Hastings will be.
"I have discussed with the owner of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce and plan to leave Sternberg at dawn tomorrow." Yeats asked about Candela's whereabouts, "Teacher, where are you?"
"I plan to go to the Watcher's Tower again and stay there for a while -"
The white-robed mage's eyes flashed slightly, he looked at Yeats, and said with a smile:
"During my absence, I will let Megan take care of your safety on my behalf... You must also be vigilant, Yeats."
Yeats smiled hoarsely and said: "Don't worry Go into seclusion, teacher.”
Kandra’s eyes softened and he said thoughtfully:
"Yeats, among the apostles, the one who ranks above Sariel is called the [Angel of Vengeance]."
"It must be a strong desire for revenge that will prompt the Angel of Vengeance to descend on the material plane... ...You should pay more attention."
Yeats nodded.
Avenging angel, right?
Just see if I can hug Lilith and Daisy’s thighs and that’s it!
*
The setting sun is like blood.
The afterglow fell on the metal wings of the hussar formation, making the armored cavalry even more grim in the chilling atmosphere.
Hastings stood in front of a split valley for a long time, recalling Candela who slashed the sword, and murmured to himself:
"The Guardian is indeed extraordinary. ”
"But I... can do it."
Hastings stretched out his hand, and a stream of black light quickly flew towards him. He closed his eyes and clenched the black 'Pluto' spear in his hand.
Black killing aura burned on the spear. Suddenly, he opened his piercing eyes, and the tip of the spear blasted out towards the complete mountain wall!
Boom! !
A long canyon was suddenly blasted out of the cliff, and the gunfire continued to sweep towards the sky, splitting the black clouds in the sky into two!
The Black Cross Winged Cavalry are all moved!
Looking at the blood-red dusk, Hastings looked cold and murmured in a low voice:
"The Forest of Elves, the Kingdom of Beasts, the Dragon Mountains...the strong men from all over the world, Everyone has a premonition of the arrival of a new era. "
"Master Kendra, you are definitely not the only one who wants to attack the sanctuary..."
"Captain of the Winged Cavalry. Come forward respectfully.
"Speak."
"I just got the news that the Golden Lion King is planning to hold a knight duel conference in Lundu, only for knights under thirty years old——"
Squad Captain Said: "There are very few knights under the age of thirty who have even been promoted to the fourth ring. Do you want to... go to London to compete?"
"Boring."
Hastings He said coldly: "I can't be interested unless I'm facing off against the Golden Lion King."
"You don't know something! There are rumors that in this duel, one is that the Golden Lion King wants to prove that his prowess has not diminished, and the other is that the Golden Lion King is choosing a husband for the princess!"
The team leader is actually a little a little bit. Excited: "If you want to become the emperor's daughter-in-law -"
He finished his words.
The bright tip of the spear stood in front of the squad leader, stopping him from what he was going to say next.
“I want to become a knight of the sanctuary.”
Hastings had a sullen face and said indifferently: "Women, it's a nuisance."
*
The next day, it was dark.
Yeats led a group of Witch Club members who were wrapped in cloaks and wrapped tightly, and boarded the carriage of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce.
After everyone was settled, Yeats came to the front of the queue and rode side by side with Lena.
"How many slaves did you transport in one go?" Lena joked.
Yeats also smiled and replied: "There will not be any slaves in my territory."
"Oh?" Lena heard Yeats's implication and said in surprise , "Unexpectedly, Lord Baron still has such lofty ambitions?"
There have always been abolitionist scholars lobbying in the Golden Lion Kingdom. The slaves here do not refer to serfs, but to slaves in the traditional sense.
Although slavery was criminalized by the Golden Lion Code as early as 1102 of the Holy Calendar, the nobles still circumvented the law in various ways and bought and sold women and children as slaves for their pleasure.
Yeats also thought about raising an elf slave girl to warm the bed.
But ideas are ideas. He has Gray and Herod whom he cherishes, and he has received modern education, so he cannot think completely as a noble.
“You have to have ambition after all.”
Yeats looked at the red-haired wolf girl and said, “Lena, you think so too, right?”
The wolf girl Lena's golden breasts shone with light, and she grinned: "What else? I have survived until today just for one breath!"
"I have a business to discuss with you. It is a spirit that you have never seen before. Counting the months, the first batch of spirits is ready for sale."
Yeats said: "If you are interested , I also hope that Miss Lena will return to Chenshuang Ridge with me to discuss cooperation."
Lena's eyes lit up, she was worried about not having any products to open up the situation, she had a premonition, Yeats said something fierce. Wine can help her and the Starlight Chamber of Commerce win this turnaround!
Because Candela was busy in retreat, Yeats did not entrust him with the search for the unicorn horn. As a businessman, Lena believed that there would be channels to acquire the unicorn horn.
Hearing that Yeats needed a unicorn horn to refine the promotion potion, Lena smiled and said:
"Unicorn horns are indeed rare, but if this spirit can sell well and you are willing to pay a high price, you can definitely buy it!"
Yeats smiled and nodded.
"I would like to ask, unicorn horn is made of four-ring material, why do you need to use this?" Lena asked curiously.
"Because, I am already the fourth ring." Yeats said truthfully.
Lena was stunned on the spot, her wolf ears stood up, and a strange look appeared on her face.
"Four, four rings?!"
Yeats showed the aura of a high-ring extraordinary person.
Lena became more and more sluggish, and stammered:
"It's only been half a year, and you've actually been promoted to a high level?!"
" Good luck." Yeats pretended.
Lena took a deep breath with great effort and said solemnly:
"Lord Baron, if you need the Starlight Chamber of Commerce in the future, just ask, everything can be discussed!"
Lena doesn't It is clear what kind of amazing adventure Yeats encountered to be promoted to the top ring in just six months.
But as a strong man with the fourth ring, he has the confidence to dominate, and he is a figure worthy of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce’s heavy bet!
Lena could no longer afford to fail for the second time, and this time she decided to spend all her wealth on her cooperation with Yeats, thinking:
"Even if Baron Yeats and Duke Thomas fight, I bet he will win this time!"
The dawn was filled with mist, and the guard briefly interrogated a few words before letting this extremely suspicious caravan pass.
Yeats glanced back at the carriage, thinking of the purple fireflies, orioles, delphiniums and others hiding in it, and thought to himself.
Now, three Toolman cards have been drawn!
