Chapter 273 Reward, Colossus of the Sun God, God of Messenger
The Blood Spider evacuated safely, but the Lionheart King was seriously injured.
This "Hongmen Banquet" seemed to end with Lionheart's defeat, but the sword in the stone that was taken away was a fake.
Following the clues and eradicating the Scarlet Society is the king’s real purpose.
However, Yeats still had many questions and decided not to comment for the time being, and would discuss it with the king when he returned to the Lion Palace.
The news caused by the war has reached Lundu City.
Yeats stood on the top of the mountain where the forest fire was raging, looking around, he found that the Lionheart King's confidant and military commander seemed to have received the order long ago, leading the imperial army to surround the battlefield layer by layer. The guests were also escorted to the camp by the Imperial Guards.
What happened in the account is unknown.
Yeats guessed that it was related to the blocking of news. Firstly, to avoid causing panic in the city, and secondly, those nobles who were killed would have a power vacancy. Before the news was fermented, the Lionheart King would need a certain amount of time to complete the transfer of power.
This is when the Lion Heart King had a premonition that his life was not long, and he began to integrate the royal power in a drastic way - he tried to leave a stable enough royal family to his successors. The Heart King had long planned to leave the means to the Princess.
The Golden Lion King's power is in turmoil, with worries from the blood clan inside and troubles from the Holy See outside.
Taking advantage of the old age of the Lion King, the Blood Spider tried to restore the Blood Empire that had competed with the Snake Empire in the old era.
The Holy See has always been committed to putting religious power above royal power. The battle between the Pope and the Emperor is marked by the "Humor of Canossa", which has lasted for hundreds of years in the Atrium Continent.
In this difficult situation, the iron fist and resourcefulness displayed by this twilight old man really made Yeats respect him.
As for Colin...
Yeats followed it.
Ke Lin was covered in blood and sad, standing behind the king, his fighting spirit sluggish.
Just now, the king was stabbed by the vampire in front of him. If Colin had not been bewitched, the king would not have suffered such a disaster. You can imagine his guilt at this moment.
Yeats looked at the fire as if watching the fire, and then he thought that since he stood by the Lion-Hearted King and fought for him through life and death, his status in his heart must have skyrocketed, and he might even become a minister of Tuogu!
It seems unlucky to think like this... Yeats coughed slightly, but in his heart he still hoped that the Lionheart King would reign for a few more years.
The Lionheart King has always had a feud with the Holy See because the majestic king cannot decide on his own marriage. When King Lionheart wanted to divorce his ex-wife, the Holy See came out to object. This really made King Lionheart angry, and the grudge was thus forged.
Later, the Lionheart King vigorously developed the "Protestant" and the "Anglican Church" in the Golden Lion Kingdom, and also had the intention of launching the Anglican Church to compete with the Holy See.
Such a king who did not deal with the Holy See was naturally an important ally of Yeats. The longer he reigned, the longer Yeats would have to develop.
After all, the princess is young. Even if she is smooth and a born saint, she will definitely make some compromises to the Holy See in order to consolidate her rule after ascending to the throne.
However, when the princess ascends the throne, Yeats will become a minister of the two dynasties, and is expected to become a border Duke holding the pass.
There may be a day when it gets cold and it’s time to put on new clothes. (Wrong)
The Lionheart King recalled the Lieyang Fighting Lion to the demon pet plane, and asked Yeats, Crane, and Colin to return to the Lion Palace with him.
Yeats knew it in his heart, and secretly looked forward to it. It was time to reward according to merit!
Soon.
The Lion Palace.
The majestic golden hall has luxurious tapestries and family crests and shields hanging on the walls. The armrests of the throne are engraved with lion heads. The Lionheart King is wearing a royal robe and a crown. He puts his hands on his temples and waves to ask Colin and Crane to step aside for the time being. Down.
Klan looked at Yeats, who reassured him with his eyes. Crane nodded and left with Colin.
"In this operation, Yeats, your performance is quite outstanding."
On the majestic face of the Lionheart King, there was a rare smile.
“Although you are young, you are both brave and wise. You actually dare to break into the sea of fire and intervene in the battle between me and the vampire... If it weren’t for your words, I would have wanted Colin to wake up and still It will take some more hard work.”
"Your Majesty is overly complimentary." Yeats said humbly, "What really awakened Colin was not me, but your Majesty's friendship for him."
Human beings are not grass and trees, who can be ruthless?
The Blood Spider used "love" to bind Colin, and the Lionheart King also used "love" to wake Colin up. Beauty trap and bitter flesh trap, in the end, Lionheart's method prevailed.
Lionheart King’s eyes flashed.
'Colin... Huh, the knight who has followed me for nearly twenty years, when things come to a close, is not as good as a junior! ’
To say that the Lionheart King is dissatisfied with Colin, that is for sure. The dignified knight actually fell into the temptation of the vampires and fell under the pomegranate skirt of Lee Matilda. It is simply ridiculous.
However, Lionheart can also understand that humans are complex animals, and no matter how strong Colin's swordsmanship is, he still has character flaws that cannot be overcome. And this lesson will promote Colin's growth.
In the future, King Lionheart will feel more at ease when he delivers Colin's "sword" to Princess Renee.
Thinking of this, Lionheart King's eyes seemed a little cloudy, showing a bit of the fatigue of an old man.
His injuries were not faked, because it was impossible to hide the fakeness from the Blood Spider Lord and make her think she had succeeded.
Only in front of Yeats, who was trusting and discerning, would Lionheart take off his mask and show such an expression.
"Yeats...come forward." The Lionheart King sighed long and long.
Yeats stood beside the throne and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
The Lion-Hearted King looked at Yeats, slowly stretched out a big hand, and touched meaningfully. On his shoulder, he said in a low voice:
"Your father was deprived of his hereditary title for committing crimes. Honestly, have you ever hated me?"
Yeats was startled, thinking that I had come from time travel and had never understood this kind of thing. Then he smiled faintly and said:
"Even if the hereditary title still exists, it belongs to my brother and has nothing to do with me. It doesn't matter at all..."
Ye Zhi paused and complimented: "I owe everything to your Majesty for what I am today."
"You are so truthful when it comes to telling lies. Your father is just the same."
The Lionheart King smiled and said: "He is obviously an extremely proud person, but he also pretends to be like a worldly person, just like a swan in a flock of wild ducks, eating the same mud and dead grass. , then sooner or later he will flap his wings and fly away.”
The implication was that Yeats was accused of not being sincere in his compliment.
Yeats also didn’t know. The fact that the king could say this meant that the two were close friends. This had a lot to do with the conversation in the Lion Forest. He mused:
“Perhaps , I am just pretentious and lucky to be valued by you."
"No one is lucky...and you are destined to achieve great things."
The Lion Heart King shook his head.
"I see your contribution in my eyes. Without you, the real Duke of Suffolk would not have been discovered so quickly. You got rid of a serious problem for the Golden Lion!"
"I remember , your archery skills are impressive, but none of them are worthy of your handy longbow. No!" Lionheart King said about the reward:
"Wait a minute, I will order someone to give you a long bow forged by a master craftsman. This long bow is called [Master Long Bow]. 】, with rare quality, you will be satisfied!”
Yeats’ eyes moved slightly.
Rare weapons are qualified to become heirlooms of nobles. It is rare for a Duke's family to have more than two rare weapons.
[Master Longbow] is even more outstanding than the previous Blue Fire Dragon Bow. Combined with ‘Talent: Penetrating Yang with a Hundred Steps’ and ‘Blessing: Thousands of Arrows Firing’, it can greatly enhance combat capabilities!
First the halberd was sent, and then the long bow - the halberd skills and the archery skills both blossomed, and now they really developed towards Lu Fengxian's template.
Yeats sighed secretly.
Including the [Master Longbow], I have a total of three rare weapons in my hand, namely the Trickery Hidden Sword, the Master Longbow, and the Crazy Lion Halberd.
Not to mention epic and legendary weapons, the master's collection may not be as rich as Yeats's!
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yeats said sincerely.
"Your performance this time is particularly outstanding. A long bow is not enough to express my sincerity." Lionheart King smiled and said:
"In this way, I will let Lie Yang Dou The lion gives you a power seed containing a ray of the power of the blazing sun, which will help you understand the combat skill [Arrow of the blazing sun]. This combat skill is said to be a combat skill left by the Sun God in the old era, and it also complements you. ! ”
In the Atrium Continent, the status of the Sun God is even inferior to that of the God of Light.
After all, it is recorded in Genesis that the first thing God created was light, and then he created the sun, moon and stars.
【Arrow of the Fierce Sun】, this combat skill can inject the power of the blazing sun into the arrow. The arrows shot are like dazzling sunlight, able to penetrate obstacles, burn the enemy, and leave a trail of scorching light.
Furthermore, the longer the bow is drawn, the more powerful the arrow will be, and the strong light can even be used to cause a dazzling effect.
The sun god has died. Don’t even think about strengthening [Fire Sun Arrow] through the sun divinity, but it is still a powerful combat skill!
“I heard that the power of the God of the Sun has disappeared, hasn’t it?” Yeats hesitated.
The Lion-Hearted King seemed a little emotional and sighed:
“Yes, the belief in the God of the Sun has gradually declined, and only a little strength remains.”
“Legend has it that one of the seven wonders of the world is The first [Colossus of the Sun God] is nearly 100 meters high. The statue stands on both sides of the port. Merchant ships can pass under the statue. The statue was eventually destroyed by a major earthquake... But the truth of history is no longer known. Everyone knows. "
The Lionheart King shook his head: "In the final analysis, even gods cannot be eternal, let alone humans?"
[Wonder].
What a touching term for "Civilization" players.
Yeats remembers that the sanctuary-level bosses in the game can even move wonders directly into their own domains, thus providing a large number of attributes and power of faith bonuses, and each also has unique abilities.
For example, the world wonder [Great Lighthouse] dedicated to the God of the Ocean has the extraordinary power to calm tsunamis and break through sea fog. It also has a restraining effect on some evil gods in the ocean.
There is a wonder in the Golden Lion Kingdom called [Stonehenge], located in the south of Lundu.
Unfortunately, Yeats is still far away from the sanctuary level.
Otherwise, move this wonder [Stonehenge] directly into your own territory.
It can exert powerful effects in field confrontations.
Summary of harvest.
The Master Longbow and the "Combat Technique: Arrow of the Sun" commended by the Lionheart King both helped to enhance Yeats's archery skills.
Yeats's archery skills are already at the expert level. With the blessing of the growth talent 'A Hundred Steps Penetrating the Yang', once he reaches the fifth level, he will have master-level archery, becoming his second best expertise.
After discussing the reward, it was time to discuss the battle plan. Yeats expressed his doubts:
"Your Majesty, the Blood Spider is cunning and cunning. If she finds out that the Sword in the Stone she took away is a fake, wouldn't all her previous efforts be wasted?"
Lionheart laughed: "I never said it was a fake, you just thought it was a fake."
Yeats was stunned.
"To be precise, the scabbard that Lord Blood Spider took away is real, but the Sword in the Stone is still in my hand. The scabbard is real. Even if Lord Blood Spider suspects the sword, he can't be sure. Authenticity.”
The Lionheart King calmly said: "And I have already placed the [Messenger God's] method on the scabbard, which can provide me with the location of the scabbard. She has been seriously injured and must return to the stronghold to recuperate. By observing the blood spider By following the movements of the public, we can determine the stronghold of the Scarlet Society and eradicate it in one fell swoop.”
The God of Messengers, a being similar to Hermes in Greek mythology, is in charge of travel, letters, communication, and wandering merchants! The patron god of thieves and thieves, he is a clever, cunning god.
The favorite sport of the Messenger God is actually [boxing].
Yeats concluded that this may be because fists are the most effective means of communication...
Spells such as text messaging, messaging, and animal messengers are all inventions of the God of Messengers. It is not surprising that there are methods similar to "tracking and positioning" in his genre.
"Then what should we do now?" Yeats asked.
“When the Blood Spider recovers from her injuries, she will definitely look for the entrance to [Avalon], because the real artifact—the Sword in the Lake—is hidden in Avalon.”
The Lionheart King sneered: "But, she doesn't know the exact location of Avalon, so she will definitely try her best to find information... I will let her get this information!"
Yeats's heart moved, and he was surprised. Said: "Your Majesty doesn't want to..."
"Yes, I want Colin to bring false information to see the Blood Spider Lord again!"
The Lionheart King said coldly: "The Blood Spider must have believed the false information provided by Colin, because she thought she knew Colin. When she came to the so-called entrance of Avalon based on the false information, she didn't know that I An ambush has been laid there for a long time!”
Yeats was surprised, is this the plan of Master Six Rings?
“But what if Colin is bewitched by the Blood Spider again?” Yeats expressed doubts.
“I believe him.”
The Lionheart King narrowed his eyes: “At the same time, he is also testing him...testing whether he has really come forward.”
"If he hadn't..." Lionheart King stopped talking, but the indifference and aloofness in it were self-evident.
Yeats said: "Your Majesty is wise, but I don't know where to set the trap?"
"[Loch Ness]."
Lion Heart The king asserted, "The place is inaccessible and the terrain is rugged. It is the place for an ambush!"
Soon, the Lion-Hearted King looked at Yeats and said:
"Tomorrow is the last event of this competitive meeting, riding. Since you have already won two major championships, why not also take this last award into your bag."
"Before the competition, I will You prepare the [Pegasus Potion] for your war horse to drink. This potion can help your war horse break through to the king level. With this potion, it will be easy for you to win the riding championship," Lionheart King said calmly.
Yeats: "..."
What is the purpose of taking drugs?
“When the Blood Spider steps into the trap, I will invite you to go to Loch Ness together, Yeats——”
The Lion-Hearted King stood up slowly, said vigorously and solemnly:
"Let you see, although I am old, my heart is not old!"
