Chapter 265: Conquering the Fierce General, Burning Fist
The duel between Yeats and Vulcan follower Ax came to an end.
Ax squeezed his own potential, activated his raging fighting spirit and burned his whole body. Finally, he was carried out of the arena on a stretcher.
As the winner, Yeats's injuries were equally serious, especially his right shoulder, which had been hit hard repeatedly, causing severe pain.
Fortunately, Yeats has a variety of treatment methods. Minerva's Fountain, Moonlight Dou Qi, Green Cardamom and other abilities can be used to heal injuries, so the injury can be cured quickly.
This battle almost confirmed that Yeats was the number one among the younger generation of Golden Lion nobles.
Under the amplification of the self-inflicted flame fighting spirit, Ax's physical skills reached the five-ring expert level, but Yeats defeated him head-on with fist-to-punch. This scene deeply shocked the nobles present.
Although civilians could not see the details, the momentum of this duel was shocking. Yeats stood at the end again, and naturally received a roaring applause.
In the lounge.
Yeats put his hand on his right shoulder, releasing soft moonlight fighting energy from his palm, constantly healing his injuries. He shook his head at Fokas, who looked worried, indicating that he was fine, and said slowly:
"Akers wants to advance with all his life. He must have some purpose. Forkas, you go and find out. Maybe you can make him be used by Chenshuang Ridge."
Fukas understands what the young master is doing. It's because of the cherishment of talents.
Every year in the competition, civilians compete to show their bravery. Although some extraordinary people come from humble backgrounds, due to their extraordinary strength, they will receive olive branches from noble families and be recruited as family knights.
As a knight of the High Ring and without a backer, Akers must have had many envoys go there to lobby.
“As you command.”
afternoon.
Another finalist has been born.
Wolf sect demon hunter Gerald Fenrir showed off his smooth two-sword fighting skills. One sword knocked away June's sword, and the other sword was placed across her neck. He won the victory and shocked the whole audience. With the entire Lannister family.
June was quite depressed. She originally wanted to compete with Yeats in the finals, but her skills were inferior and there was nothing she could do if she lost.
She persuaded Duke Lannister, who wanted to send someone to teach Gerold privately, but said helplessly:
"No matter how many people you send, it's all in vain... Even if he can't defeat him, won't he still run away?"
Duke Lannister frowned: "This man has humiliated Lannister's face, how can he?" Don’t let him pay a price?”
Nutriousness is a character engraved in Lannister’s blood.
On the other hand, they are never ambiguous in repaying a favor.
June shook his head and said that if the private action was leaked, it would only make Lannister more ridiculed, so it was better to wait until the finals were over before making plans.
"The royal combat skill of Fiery Lion Slash can fall into the hands of Yeats, but it can never be left outside the Golden Lion."
Joon narrowed his eyes, "If Yeats wins, everything will It's easy to say, if Gerald wins... he can be eliminated with the help of the Wolf School."
Retribution is the same as June Lannister's life creed.
"You seem to attach great importance to Yeats Brondi?" Duke Lannister suddenly said.
“Don’t His Majesty also attach great importance to him?” June asked.
"Yes...recruit Yeats of Brondy as his son-in-law and find a good ally for his daughter. Ha, I can guess your majesty's thoughts." Duke Lannister said coldly.
"Yeats would not agree."
"Oh? How do you know?"
"Because he believes in 'freedom of love' just like the believers in Eros. ." June said.
“Love can only give way to family interests.” Duke Lannister paused, “This has always been the case!”
"Don't people of low birth have the right to pursue love?" June retorted.
"What did you say?" The voice was cold.
"Father, I am not feeling well. I will go back to my room to rest first."
Duke Lannister squinted his eyes and watched his daughter's back disappear into the living room. The hand wearing the onyx ring gently As he tapped the mahogany table, the scene in the arena appeared in front of his eyes, and he thought to himself.
——Although Akers lost to Yeats in today's duel, he is a knight worth recruiting.
It is said that he has a wife who is suffering from a disease, and the two have a deep relationship.
As long as he can win over his wife, there is no need to worry about Ax not working for Lannister.
"Come, please invite Ax and his wife to the manor for a chat!"
In a simple hotel.
The dim candlelight reflected the sleepy eyes of the janitor. The old man was dozing with his head on his chin. He was awakened by a chaotic knock on the door. He opened the door full of complaints and a burning smell suddenly hit his face. .
Several men in linen shirts carried the stretcher, and Akers, who was completely charred, lay on it, unconscious.
"It's Ax again! It's burning like charcoal!"
The old man said angrily: "His room is on the second floor, the first one on the left is where his wife is coughing The sound can be heard in the corridor, send it over quickly!"
"Please wait, let me escort Akers"
A majestic voice sounded.
The gatekeeper was stunned, looking up and down at the visitor's clothes. He saw that he was wearing bright silver plate armor, with a beautiful sword sheath on his waist, and his tiger eyes shot out. He was suddenly frightened, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile:
"Master Knight, are you a friend of Ax?"
Forkas was silent for a moment, and looked at Ax, who was severely burned on the stretcher, with a look of respect in his eyes.
Akers is also an outstanding person who can push the young master into a desperate situation and attract the young master's olive branch.
Fokas nodded and said: "That's right."
"T-then... Ax's room fee has not been paid for several days... Look..." The old man raised his eyes and spoke nervously.
Fokas was startled. How could the majestic Knight of the Four Rings of Ax be so poor that he couldn't even afford the room fee in this shabby hotel? This is incredible!
After settling the bill for Ax, Forkas personally carried the stretcher to the second floor with a farmer, and knocked gently on the wooden door. The coughing inside finally stopped, and the woman's weak voice could be heard. Voice:
"Ax is back?"
"Yes, madam." Forcas said solemnly, "I was ordered to escort Ax, please allow me to come in."
"Mr. Thank you, ahem, the door is unlocked. Please help yourself..."
Push the door and walk in. A strong smell of herbs hits your face. The light is dim, and a pale woman is lying on the bed. When he saw Akers on the cold mattress and straw bed, his face suddenly turned red and he struggled to get up.
"Ax..."
If it weren't for Forcas' quick eyesight and quick hands, the woman would have fallen off the bed. She thanked Forcas, then took a tough stance and slowly crawled To Ackles on the stretcher.
Putting her hand gently on Ax's burnt face, the woman's palm released the gentle moonlight.
Ax gradually woke up, with a childlike innocence and trance in his eyes: "Luen..."
"I'm here." The woman nestled her head on Ax's burnt chest, close to her heart position, and said softly, "Ax, I'm here."
Forkas winked at his companions, left the room together, and gently closed the door.
The pungent burnt smell and the rich herbs unexpectedly harmonized into a strange smell, like the warm smell of bedding after it has been dried in the sun.
“You are saying that Ax’s wife was cursed by the Plague Lord and contracted malaria.”
In the lobby of Silver Birch Manor, Yeats held a quill at the desk and muttered:
"Is it for the prize money that Ax is living in poverty in order to heal her? He wants to win the championship?"
>Phocas nodded and said: "Ax has no need to hide it. This information can be easily found out."
"Because the disease caused by the Plague Lord is extremely difficult to cure, and Ax is not like Sa The Duke of Fogg, who is so wealthy, is a knight with four rings, but he is also stretched thin by this disease. Even the place where he stays is indispensable for mice and cockroaches. "
Yeats frowned slightly and was silent for a moment. , sighed lightly.
No matter how powerful the extraordinary being is, he is still a human being.
As long as we are human, we will get old, sick and die.
Under the sanctuary, everyone is an ant.
Some ants gain the power and favor of gods and become powerful, but they cannot escape their fate.
The reason why the God of Light is loved by others is because He holds the power of ‘medicine’.
For humans who are afraid of disease, 'medicine' is as precious as sunlight and water.
“I have a cure for the Plague Lord’s malaria.”
Yeats said slowly: “When I make the potion, you can give it to Ax for me and convey it to him. I mean, it’s up to him to believe it or not.”
“But you will also pay a lot of money to treat his wife, right?” Fokas expressed concern.
“The raw materials need to be stone dace dragon scales, licorice, honey, ground lice...”
Yeats rubbed his eyebrows: "There are a lot of extraordinary materials, but they are not worth mentioning to the royal family. When I enter the palace and ask your Majesty, I should get something." For example, the pangolin is said to be a magical beast with dragon blood, and its scales can be used for medicinal purposes; the louse is a poisonous insect that grows deep underground and can fight poison with poison and treat malaria caused by the plague lord.
These materials, combined with the Fountain of Minerva, and using green cardamom as a medicinal ingredient, can be used to make a four-ring magic potion [Stone Dragon Potion], which is miraculous in treating diseases.
With Yeats's alchemy skills, five-ring magic potions can also be made, but five-ring magic potions require the use of emperor-level magic beasts, which are extremely rare. Even if the royal family has the materials for emperor-level magic beasts, they may not be willing to do so. Take it out.
Fokas was still a little worried and said: "You have worked so hard, what if Ax doesn't appreciate it?" Yeats' eyes flashed slightly: "I won't make a mistake."
The next day, Yeats came to the palace, met with His Majesty, and expressed his request.
Lionheart King graciously gave Yeats some of the king-level monster materials he requested, but he also put forward conditions.
"[Fierce Lion Slash] is the royal family's secret skill. I take it as a reward with certain considerations."
Richard muttered: "But no matter what, this combat skill cannot be lost to a person. The demon hunter gets it. I hope you defeat Gerald Fenrir in the duel. These materials will be used as an advance reward."
"Then can I learn Fiery Lion Slash?" Yeats asked.
Richard glanced at Yeats: "The Lion Slash is a heavy sword combat skill. You are good at using the Swift Sword. How can you use it freely even if you learn it?"
Yeats said: "I You can also use a mace to perform Fierce Lion Slash!"
Richard: "...I'll send someone to deliver the materials. You can go."
The day of the final is getting closer. The closer.
The atmosphere in Lundu City is lively, and the Wolf School is ready to make a move.
As a "defected demon hunter" of the Wolf School in the North, Jero reached the finals of the Golden Lion Competition. This caused the Wolf School to suffer great shame and humiliation, and secretly sent assassins here.
These assassins and vampires are operating secretly, and sometimes the two groups will fight each other, causing great trouble to the security of Lundu City.
Tomorrow is the final.
The duel between Yeats Brondi and Gerald Fenrir is a highly anticipated one.
In the manor, Yeats made the [Stone Dace Dragon Potion] and ordered Phokas to deliver it to Ax's residence.
Hostel.
Dong dong——
“Please come in.”
Forkas opened the door and walked in. He saw Akers wearing a linen shirt, sitting on the edge of the bed and giving him wife gives medicine.
Seeing Phokas in plate armor, Ax felt like he was facing a powerful enemy and was about to stand up, but Luen gently held his hand, shook his head and said:
"Mr. Phokas is a good man. …You were unconscious a few days ago, and it was Mr. Fourkas who escorted you back.”
Akers was startled, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.
He sat down sullenly, staring at Phokas silently.
“What’s the matter with you?” Lu En smiled weakly.
Phokas said: "On the order of my Earl, I am here to send the stone dace dragon potion. This potion can treat malaria. It was specially refined by Master Yeats for Mrs. Luen."
Click!
The medicine bowl in Ax's hand fell to the ground, and there was strong shock in his eyes.
Lu En was also stunned, with disappointment in her eyes. She forced a smile and said:
"You are joking, my disease is not so easy to cure... It is the kindness of Count Yeats, we I understand, but we cannot accept this potion.”
"My young master is the chosen one of the Goddess of Youth, and the Goddess of Youth is the servant of the God of Light. In the past, the God of Light healed diseases and saved people, and held the power of medicine. I believe you have heard about it."
Fokas slowly Said: "And this potion uses materials from two king-level monsters, namely the Stone Dace Dragon and the Earth Louse Woman. Both materials can cure malaria. Both of them have been recorded for a long time..."
Listen to Fu As Cass spoke, Ax's expression remained as hard as ice, full of rejection.
Seeing this, Phokas sighed in his heart, Ax must have learned many lessons.
But Luen looked at Ax and whispered:
"How about... let's give it a try?"
"But we have tried it many times." Akers said in a low tone.
“I believe in the character of Lord Furcas and Lord Yeats, and I also know that the goddess of youth does have the miraculous ability to cure diseases.”
Lune smiled, with a hint of determination on her weak face. : "Perhaps, this time it will be a miracle."
Ax's eyes flickered, and after a while, he nodded slightly.
He helped Lu En sit up, took the [Stone Dace Dragon Potion] from Phokas's hand, opened the cork, and was greeted by the fragrance of cardamom.
The couple exchanged glances, and then Ax helped Luen drink the potion, watching her nervously.
Lu En's body went red and white, first hot and then cold.
Ax was very worried when he saw it, and he wanted to pick up Phokas by the collar and question him.
But after the drug took full effect, the color in Lu En's pale cheeks actually returned.
She was sweating profusely, as if she had just taken it out of the water, but her eyes were filled with disbelief. She panted slightly and glanced at Ax.
Ax was also stunned.
He didn't even dare to feel happy, for fear of falling from the peak of ecstasy to the valley of despair.
Until Luen stood up from the bed, gently hugged Ax's shoulders, and nestled her head in the crook of his neck.
This man, whose whole body was burned into charcoal, did not say a word. His body was shaking violently, while he was crying and smiling.
A ray of sunlight shines into the gray room, illuminating the cold bedding and floating dust.
The joy of seeing the dawn in the pain, the joy of seeing the dawn in the pain, and the uneasiness of fearing that it was a dream, deeply touched Phocas.
The old knight cleared his throat and said hoarsely: "Ax, my young master hopes that you can serve for Morning Frost Ridge... I hope you can understand this intention."
Ax Dan He knelt on his knees, lowered his head deeply, and tried his best to restrain the trembling with his fists on the ground.
"I...swear to the death and be loyal to Earl Yeats!"
*
Akers and his wife have already moved into the side hall of Silver Birch Manor.
When the trip to Lundu is over, Akers will return to Morning Frost Ridge with Yeats.
Yeats did not need to worry about Ax's loyalty at all, because from the moment he cured Luen, Ax was already firmly tied to the warship Morning Frost Ridge.
Since he was a knight under his command, Yeats also began to cultivate Akers.
If there are any actions related to Vulcan in the future, Ax may be brought along. After all, he seems to be very popular with Vulcan.
On the other hand.
In order to repay Yeats's kindness, Ax gave Yeats the ancient family heirloom book he had learned, [Combat Skill: Burning Flame Fist].
The Burning Flame Fist can wrap flames around the fist and blast it out.
The power is similar to that of the Extreme Cold Fist, but it has gorgeous special effects and can cause burns.
The prerequisite for mastering this combat skill is to first learn "Spell: Burning Hands", a low-level spell that can release flames in the palm of your hand.
Yeats’s flame style proficiency, after the addition of [Dragon Flame Fruit Tart], has reached the proficiency level. It is easy to learn the "Spell·Burning Hand" and completely master the "Burning Fist" It's only a matter of time.
The Burning Flame Fist is not as extreme as the Raging Flame Fighting Qi, and will not cause the side effect of 'self-immolation'.
Besides, not everyone can learn the flame fighting spirit. Yeats is not very interested in this extreme combat skill like the "Seven Injury Fist", but he is very interested in rubbing fireballs with his hands.
When the Flame School reaches the advanced level, Yeats will be able to master the magical magic skill of "Fireball Technique"!
When June learned that Akers had become Yeats's family knight, she came to congratulate her with a rather sour tone:
"You have subdued a strong general."
"Where." Yeats said cheerfully, "Drink tea, drink tea."
June curled her lips, picked up the black tea, and slowly blew in the hot air.
"My father also wanted to recruit Ax, but I didn't expect you to be one step ahead... With his strength, he may be promoted to the fifth ring in the future, and you have no rivals in the northern province."
"In the central province, even though Brondi and Lannister have formed an alliance, they have no rivals." Yeats said with a smile.
June was noncommittal and looked at Yeats: "Tomorrow is the final between you and Jero. I have a request..."
"Don't worry, I will win the championship without you having to say it." ." Yeats said.
June was startled.
“Because I have promised Your Majesty.”
Yeats's eyes narrowed: "Yeats of the North, you must pay your debts!"
June: "..."
What he said are all my words!
