Chapter 269 Yeats doesn’t have succubus blood, right?
Jero and the other two followed Yeats back to Silver Birch Manor late at night.
The scene where Earl Yeats came to help and instantly killed the blood-winged flying python was still fresh in the memory of the three of them.
Before Yeats showed strength and kindness, his attitude could not help but become respectful.
At this moment, being invited to the manor, the gentle Roger seemed a little reserved, lowering the brim of his archer hat to hide his expression.
Jero, who has white hair and a scarred face, looks like a gangster. He carries two sword scabbards on his back, hugs his arms wearing leather wristbands, looks at the oil paintings and chandeliers, and marvels.
The mansion is magnificent, illuminated by bright candlelight. Next to the spiral staircase leading to the second floor, a tower-like figure stands, watching Jero and his party with a wary look.
"Ax?" Jero was surprised, "Why are you here?"
This man is two meters tall, so strong that he seems to have the blood of a giant, and his chest muscles are almost white. His shirt was torn, and his two muscular arms were like steel bars. It was Ax who possessed a quasi-master level of physical skills.
Ax glanced at Jero indifferently, and then looked at Yeats, as if waiting for an order.
"They are my guests, and there is no need to face the enemy." Yeats said, "Please step back, Akers."
"Yes, my lord."
Akers He answered in a muffled voice. He was always dull and taciturn, his back was as broad as a mountain, and he left with steady steps.
Jero and the three of them were stunned at the same time, with surprise in their eyes.
Akers actually became a knight under Lord Yeats!
Jero had met Akers several times before, and knew that this man was as stubborn as a cow, and he was not polite to nobles, so he offended many lords who came to recruit him.
And Akers does have arrogant capital. He is not only a descendant of the Knights of the Round Table, but also blessed by the God of Fire. He has outstanding strength. Even Jero, who has a sharp eye, has to admit that he is a brave man. knight.
And he actually swore allegiance to Count Yeats, who defeated him on the playing field at a young age!
Jero took a deep look at the smiling and approachable Earl Yeats, and was secretly frightened.
“This guy…doesn’t he have succubus blood?”
——The Han succubus Liu Xuande can recruit a group of capable ministers and generals, and Yeats's charm is also full of charm!
Yeats asked the maid to invite the three of them to sit down on the sofa in the corner of the hall. He carried a piece of bloody blood-winged flying python in each hand, saying that he was cooking in person and asked to take a rest, and then walked away happily.
The three of them looked at Yeats's back, their expressions became a little strange.
"Earl Yeats seems...really planning to make the Blood-Winged Flying Python a midnight snack?" Jero said in a subtle tone.
"Hey, I grew up playing with snakes. The blood-winged flying python's fire poison is more powerful than the poison of the manticore. Doesn't Earl Yeats know?" Eva was worried.
"Could this be an obedience test or something...to see if we eat the late-night snack he made, and then decide whether to recruit the three of us - like Ax?" Roger thought on his own.
Jero and Eva looked at Roger at the same time and said in unison: "It's possible!"
Jero also had his own considerations for being invited to the manor, which was to take advantage of the opportunity. Ask about the King of the Wild Hunt. As for enjoying the Blood-Winged Flying Python, that was not necessary. He didn't want to press his throat to induce vomiting in the middle of the night!
"What do you three adults want to drink?" the maid, wearing a headscarf and a Victorian black and white dress, asked softly.
“Whiskey!” Eva said first.
The whiskey invented by Yeats has already established a reputation among adventurers. This high-altitude liquor has an audience from nobles to common people. The Starlight Chamber of Commerce has also made a lot of money through the wine industry and has the momentum to rise again.
"Okay, I'll bring it to the three adults immediately." The maid respectfully excused herself.
Jero and Roger were holding small glasses, looking at Eva who was drinking heavily from the bottle, and hesitated to speak.
Although Eva smokes, drinks, murders and sets fires, she is a good girl!
At this time, Yeats' figure appeared in front of everyone again.
He was followed by a maid who pushed a dining cart with plates covered with cloche lids. Yeats invited the three of them to sit down at the long dining table in the corner of the hall. After the three of them were seated, the maid placed the plates in front of everyone one by one.
The moment the bell-shaped lid was opened, fresh aroma mixed with hot air hit the nostrils. Jie Luo and others were startled. There was actually a cup of soup on the plate. The whole soup was placed in the exquisite white porcelain soup. In the cup, the ingredients in the soup are in the shape of threads.
“This [Blood Wing Flying Python Chicken Shredded Soup] is made by stewing python shreds, lemon leaf shreds, chicken shreds, shredded mushrooms and other raw materials. I filtered the soup with gauze and used it. Then it becomes a soup," Yeats said, "The blood wings of the blood-wing flying python are processed, and the texture is similar to that of chicken wings. When the snake meat is shredded and cooked together with other ingredients, it will have a warm and umami flavor. The magical effect of layer by layer. "
Jieluo and the other three stared at the snake soup on the plate, smelled the fragrant aroma, and swallowed their saliva.
The blood-winged flying python that was ferocious just now turned into a fragrant snake soup in the blink of an eye, giving the three of them a huge sense of contrast and shaking their hearts.
This soup... looks actually quite delicious!
Yeats also placed a cup of snake soup in front of him. After inspecting the three demon hunters who were still hesitant, he smiled and said:
"I am a gourmet chef. Before cooking this dish, , the poisonous substances in the blood-winged flying python have been removed through the decontamination process, and the three of you can feel free to taste it.”
In this world where the gods are watching, food and offerings to the gods cannot be taken carelessly. Then, the chef responsible for the banquet came into being. They use magic power to cook Warcraft ingredients, and their abilities are similar to those of potion masters.
Eva came from the Snake School, was proficient in alchemy, and also understood the art of gastronomy. When she heard Yeats’s explanation, she breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but look high at Yeats.
Being able to cook a king-level blood-wing flying python means that Yeats' culinary skills are at least a fourth-level senior level, or even higher!
Although the gourmet is just a sub-class, it can provide temporary benefits to adventurers through food. Legend has it that a powerful gourmet can even use food to provide permanent benefits.
“Earl Yeats’s swordsmanship is outstanding. Unexpectedly, he is also proficient in food.” Eva said with a smile.
"Just out of interest." Yeats nodded and said, "Taste it while it's hot."
Eva held the spoon in hand and scooped out a spoonful of snake soup. The moment she entered, her eyes widened.
The snake shreds bring a tsunami-like deliciousness, while the chicken shreds bring a warm and refreshing fragrance. The fragrance of lemon leaves relieves the greasy smell and brings a sense of freshness, while the taste of shiitake mushrooms gives the snake soup a delicate taste.
Eva put down the spoon and took a big sip from the white porcelain soup cup regardless of how she was eating.
The soup is smooth in the mouth, rich in umami, and the snake silk is flexible and elastic. Chew carefully, and each bite will bring you a unique experience.
Eva's cheeks were flushed with heat, and she couldn't stop. Looking out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Jero and Roger were also shocked.
“I have been traveling for so many years, but I never thought snake meat could be so delicious!” Jero said in shock.
"I can't imagine... this is actually the meat of the Bloodwing Flying Python." Roger sighed, "I was almost seriously injured by it just now... I need to take a few more bites!"
At this time, Eva I feel that the water surface of the soul in the soul realm is actually ripples. She felt something in her heart, and her energy and blood had been enhanced. Although the increase was weak, it was indeed a permanent gain!
Eva was shocked. It seemed that Earl Yeats' culinary attainments were far beyond her imagination, and he might even be a quasi-master chef!
As for the master level... Eva can't imagine it. You know, the president of the Roland Kingdom's Food Association, his cooking skills are only at the master level!
[Bloodwing Flying Python Chicken Shredded Soup] has the effect of slightly and permanently increasing Qi and blood.
The reason why it can have this effect is that, as a king-level monster, the blood-winged flying python already has sufficient energy in its body. The second reason is that Yeats’s culinary skills were amazing and he was able to preserve the energy in the ingredients intact. For a high-level transcendent, any slight difference in physical strength may determine the outcome, so permanent gains are extremely precious.
It’s like two flame-style mages competing against fireballs. With the same mechanism, the numerical value determines success or failure!
After many meals, Yeats can be called a numerical monster.
Of course, there is an upper limit to the value. Yeats is more than enough to kill the fifth ring. If he encounters the master of the sixth ring, he can only shake people.
After this late-night snack, the distance between the trio of demon hunters and Yeats became much closer.
Gerro asked Yeats about the whereabouts of the King of the Wild Hunt. Yeats shook his head:
"Don't say it's you, even I don't know his whereabouts... ..."
Jero sighed in his heart, knowing that the King of the Wild Hunt is not so easy to find. It is not easy for mortals to find traces of gods. But after all, he is Yeats's adoptive father, and Earl Yeats is bound to Learn something.
Information needs to be exchanged, so Jero pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"I have been following the trail of the King of the Wild Hunt for five years. In my opinion, the King of the Wild Hunt plundered the undead and formed an army to fight against an upcoming disaster."
Yeats's mind As soon as he moved, Jero's guess coincided with his own, and he said:
"What disaster?"
"[War]."
Jerro said seriously: " After the horrific Black Death, the Midgard Continent has been at peace for a hundred years... Just like the calm before the storm, Count Yeats, you should know that war is unavoidable... And I think the King of the Wild Hunt is fighting for Prepare for this war.”
"Human civilization continues in war and peace." Roger looked like a cultural man, talking eloquently, "Even the war called [Twilight of the Gods] breaks out among the gods, let alone humans? "
Jero was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "The old era was destroyed at Ragnarok, and at the end of the new era, a war will inevitably break out... Perhaps we can witness this in our lifetime. The final battle."
Eva rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Can you say something better? I still want to die in peace!"
Jie Luo smiled and said, "I will die of old age." People can only enter the underworld, and only those who die in battle are eligible to go to [Valhalla]... I would rather die in battle than wait for judgment in the dark underworld."
Yeats Momo. Chin.
The final battle... I’m talking about a plot that was not implemented in the original work, [Judgment Day].
According to legend, on the Day of Judgment, all humans will face judgment, and all heretics except the Holy Light will be judged by the four knights.
These four knights, named Apocalypse, are in charge of war, famine, plague and death. They are the famous [Four Horsemen of Apocalypse].
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the authority they symbolize are rarely known in this world, but for Yeats, who has memories of past lives, their authority has been made public. They are not images of kindness and kindness, but are all harmful to Yeats. Humans are hostile.
Yeats frowned tightly.
A bad association arose in his mind.
More than a hundred years ago, the Lord of Plague sent the Black Death across the continent, killing one-third of the continent's population.
Could this plague be related to the Plague Knight?
If the Lord of Plague is the Plague Knight, then what kind of monster is the Holy See that he has to face?
Yeats shook his head.
In the final analysis, that is already the category of divine warfare, and it is still too far away from me at the moment.
After all, I have the Silver Mistle Sword. This little mistletoe that was ignored by the gods eventually led to the fall of the God of Light. It has "inconspicuous" abilities.
This ability can help Yeats shield himself from the gaze of the gods, thus gaining valuable development time.
On the World Tree, the squirrel who once called the condor and the black dragon, the squirrel, is also an important ally of Yeats - even if there is a war, it may run faster than anyone else.
Facing the information given by Jero, Yeats said slowly:
"In the future, if I have the chance to meet the King of the Wild Hunt, I will mention you to him, Jero... I hope you can find out the truth soon."
Jerro was startled, and soon realized that he It is not surprising that Yeats's background may have been investigated by Lord Yeats, who knew his past.
"Thank you." Jero's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"I can see the abilities of you three demon hunters. My territory is lacking three such outstanding talents... I wonder, what do you three think?" Yeats smiled. , extending an olive branch.
The three of them looked at each other.
Jero was surprised to find that there was actually a slight move in his heart, and he almost agreed to him!
"He doesn't really have succubus blood, does he?"
Jero muttered, coughed slightly, and declined: "I'm sorry, Count Yeats, I'm used to being lax. , the status of a knight is a constraint for me..."
Eva and Roger also nodded, agreeing with Jero's opinion.
With their strength, it is quite easy to become a knight under a noble. The reason why they become a demon hunter is because they are free and do not have to obey the orders of the lord.
Yeats didn't force it either.
When communicating with others, when others reject the first request, it is easy to agree to the second, easier request. This is the skill of speaking.
Therefore, when Yeats proposed that the three of them visit the families involved in the missing case in South Bank to find out the specific number and identity of the missing persons, the three of them happily agreed.
Although this commission is cumbersome and the workload is huge, the value of this late-night snack is really not worth mentioning.
The next day.
Colin's wedding banquet is approaching, and it will be held at Colin's castle on the south bank.
Yeats pretended to be ill at home and asked Forcas to write a letter for him, telling Colin that he could not make it to the wedding banquet.
At the same time, Yeats summoned the famous detective Crane, and they arranged to sneak into the Duke of Suffolk's manor to collect evidence.
“This trip is with Count Yeats——”
At Crane’s house, Crane was smoking his pipe and murmured based on past experience:
"I'm afraid something big is going to happen again..."
