Chapter 288 Gods are not about killing, they are about human nature
The setting sun was like blood, and everyone looked up at the billowing black smoke, the shock in their eyes unable to dissipate.
"Yeats...killed that monster?"
Colin whispered uncertainly.
"Promote before the battle and kill the apostle." Lieyang Fighting Lion sighed, "Your vision is as unique as ever, Richard."
Lionheart looked up at the sky in silence.
I saw——
The weird-looking book, the thick parchment scroll and the white angel wings were all burned to ashes by the golden light containing divinity and ceased to exist.
Such a celestial being at the pinnacle of the sixth ring fell under the sword of a mere mortal poet!
Quietly, the way Lionheart looked at Yeats had changed.
It is no longer a care for a junior, but a respect for a strong man.
However, there are still many questions lingering in the heart of the Lionheart King.
While he was surprised and pleased with Yeats's performance, there was also a trace of deep worry hidden in his heart.
Beheading the messenger of heaven is a blasphemy against heaven.
Yeats's move may bring about divine condemnation and divine punishment.
How can he resist then?
The rays of light reflected the magnificent fire clouds, and the figure of the old king stood in the dusk. Richard, the Lion-Hearted King, stared at the boy's back with a pair of deep, weathered eyes, his brows furrowed and mixed emotions.
‘It was because of me that Yeats came here and was forced to get involved in the battle. '
'He even used some kind of inheritance to forcibly kill the heavenly messenger...'
The Lion Heart King's eyes flashed slightly, as if he had made some kind of determination, and his eyes became sharp and Definitely.
‘All this happened because of me, and Yeats worked for me. ’
‘No matter what pressure the Holy See will exert, I will protect him...’
‘If the king cannot even protect his subjects and vassals, how can he protect his people and defend his country! ’
Lionheart’s mood fluctuated, and he experienced fatigue and relaxation after the war, and the injury suddenly occurred.
“Ahem...”
He coughed violently and blood flowed from his fingers, causing Yeats to look back.
The Lion-Hearted King, who wants to be strong all his life, tries his best to straighten his rickety waist.
The king raised his hands, showed dignity, and said slowly:
"I will not ask about your inheritance related to gods, Yeats, this is related to the wealth and life of an extraordinary person. ..."
Everyone present could tell that Yeats's sword had an extraordinary origin, and might even be a legendary weapon rarer than the Sword in the Stone.
Only in this way can we explain why this sword can make the Sword in the Stone tremble and penetrate the protective spell of the heavenly messenger in one fell swoop.
Once the news that Yeats holds the legendary weapon comes out, it will cause a sensation in the Atrium Continent. After all, the allure of the artifact is too great. It is said that humans who possess the 'Longinus Spear' will control [destiny]. This sacred spear can cause disputes between the emperor and the pope at the top of the secular world.
Even if Yeats is a hero with five rings, he will still become the target of public criticism.
Considering these hidden dangers, neither Colin nor Lieyang Doushi tacitly asked Yeats any further questions.
For many things, it is better not to know than to know. This is the consensus of smart people.
Lionheart even suspected that there was some closer connection between Yeats and the God of Light, otherwise the origin of his sword would not be explained at all.
But the Lionheart King just waved silently and asked Yeats to come to his side. Looking at this wise and brave young knight, he said in a hoarse voice:
"And what I have to say Yes...you have made outstanding contributions to me and the Golden Lion Kingdom."
"The five-ring hero also proves that you have the ability to stand alone, Yeats..."
The Lionheart King showed a soft smile to Yeats.
"When I return to the Lion Palace, I will hold a celebration dinner."
"At the dinner... I have some important news that I want to announce to you and the world."
Yeats was exhausted, so he reluctantly pulled himself together and asked, "What's the good news?"
The Lionheart King patted Yeats on the shoulder, with deep expectations and favor in his eyes.
“You will know when the time comes!”
Most of the Dukes who can stand alone in the Golden Lion Kingdom started with five rings. Generally speaking, only five-ring heroes who hold the position of duke can convince the world.
Compared with four-ring heroes, five-ring heroes have more abilities called [Will], which stands for "will to power". It is a substantial sense of oppression, which can be understood as "power".
Thousands of ordinary armies will only break up and run away when faced with the will exuded by heroes.
The hero's "power" can even make low-level people feel heartbroken and fearful to death.
Therefore, the Duke's status is difficult to shake.
Currently, due to the betrayal and death of the Duke of Suffolk, there happens to be a big vacancy among the six Dukes of the Golden Lion.
Although Yeats was young and had only been promoted to the extraordinary for more than a year, he had already advanced to the fifth ring and achieved a peak that many people could not reach in their lifetime.
And he went deep into the dungeon and faced powerful enemies. The Lionheart King saw the contribution he made during this trip and made a decision in his heart.
Under the dim dusk on the northern plateau, Lionheart King suddenly felt melancholy. He hated that he could not complete the reform of the ecclesiastical authority in his lifetime, and that he had a little fear when facing the apostles just now, but he was not as good as Yeats...
However, this world belongs to young people after all.
The Lionheart King's eyes reflected an eagle soaring across the sky, and he thought to himself:
"Fortunately, I can appreciate the grace of this eagle again..."
That’s it.
The war came to an end.
Yeats was promoted to the Hero of the Five Rings and has already entered the ranks of the strongest in mainland China.
However, this time a lot of the light and divinity of the Silver Oak Sword was consumed, and this gorgeous swift sword looked dim at this moment.
"It seems that we have to find a divinity related to the God of Light to fill the consumption of the Silver Sword, lest the trump card cannot be used..." Yeats thought to himself.
Also.
Soul power must be fully exerted through the "container" of profession.
The three major professions, Knight, Trickster, and Bard, have officially entered the fifth ring, and new blessings can be used.
Among the five-ring potions of these three professions, knight's potions are relatively common, while the magician's potion materials are the most mysterious and rare. Five-ring tricksters usually rely on [rituals] to achieve promotion.
But as Yeats, chosen by the God of Mist, the [Ritual] is different from that of other extraordinary beings, and will be personally assessed by the Goddess of Mist.
Yeats was a little worried and murmured:
“I don’t know what kind of trouble Daisy will make during the five-ring promotion ceremony...”
"I'd better drink potions to be promoted." Yeats thought to himself, "Find some emperor-level monsters that are compatible with the way of the fog, and make potions, which can also promote you to the fifth-ring magician!"
During this trip to Lake Ness, the death of the Blood Spider Lord eliminated a major hidden danger.
The Scarlet Society and the vampire forces headed by the Blood Spider Lord cannot escape the fate of destruction.
The Apostle of Revenge, who tried to descend using Lord Blood Spider as a container, was plotted by Daisy and was eventually killed by the Sword of Silver.
Yeats took stock and found that he had actually killed three of the seven divine envoys mentioned by the King of the Wild Hunt, and there were still four left.
Among the remaining four apostles, the first three are the famous "Twelve-Winged Seraphs", who are called [King of Holy War], [God's Wrath] and [God's Revelation] respectively. It's getting more and more difficult.
It's terrifyingly powerful at first glance·Jpg
However, counting the time, it is not far from the time when Candela broke through the sanctuary in the original plot.
[Kandela Breaks through the Sanctuary] is an important time point in the plot of "Phantom Wings", which means that the laws of the Atrium Continent are loosened, and humans can also master domain power on this continent. This will It had a huge impact on the divine world. And this also means that Yeats can have one more teacher at the sanctuary level, which will give him new confidence, and he will not be at a loss when attacking the sanctuary in the future.
“Master Sixth Ring can establish a country and become king on Zhongting Continent, but when the Holy Land is born, this situation may change greatly.”
Based on the advantages of the prophet, Yeats deduced in his mind:
"According to the development of the plot, the narrow battle between kingdoms will rise to the battle between races... The strong men of the holy realm of humans, elves, and orcs, Each fights for his own side..."
"No matter what, I have to move towards the Sixth Ring Master, lest I fail to keep up with version updates and be left behind by the destined protagonists like Gray and Hilde... …”
It’s worth mentioning.
Part of the divinity of the Book of Revenge was plundered by Daisy, and the other part of the divinity, Daisy expressed that she would make it into [The Book of Revenge·Youth Edition] and give it to Yeats as a token of his outstanding performance on this trip. rewards.
As night fell, under Colin's suggestion, everyone camped on the spot to repair, used treatment methods to recover their injuries, and returned to Lundu City tomorrow.
Lionheart approved.
In the vast night, Yeats walked alone to the lakeside and looked up at a crow flying from among the twinkling stars.
The crow sat on the back of Yeats's hand, with bright red eyes and feathers hunting in the wind. It was very handsome and looked like a [Raven] species.
This raven actually exuded an aura similar to the "Book of Revenge", which surprised Yeats.
"Try to sense this raven with your soul, and then control it to change its shape." Daisy ordered.
Yeats did as Daisy said.
I saw that the crow, accompanied by a cloud of mist, turned into a parchment book with a black cover.
Yeats's eyes widened. This parchment was very similar to the Book of Revenge!
For a moment, Yeats felt that the book was inexplicably hot to the touch, and he watched it nervously, fearing that it would cause any changes.
Daisy disappeared, and her voice echoed in Yeats's ears, explaining to him the specific purpose:
"This book was fabricated by me using the spirit of revenge. It is different from the original one. Don't worry. ~"
"As for the first usage, it's called [Oath of Vengeance]. You just need to engrave the name of the target you want to take revenge on the page. Will gain strength, while the enemy will be weakened by hatred."
Yeats: "..."
Death Note (×) Revenge Note (√)
"As for another use, you can use this [Book of Revenge] to transform into [Revenge Raven]."
Daisy said:
"The raven can pursue the case for you. The whereabouts of the enemy, and use the cries of hatred to disturb their minds. At the same time, this raven can also be regarded as a magic pet with a similar level as you."
Yeats said in surprise:
“You mean, that raven just now is comparable to an emperor-level magic pet?”
"Yes." Daisy said with a smile, "And it is an emperor-level magic pet with the power of revenge!"
Yeats's eyes lit up.
The importance of familiars to extraordinary people is self-evident.
The Imperial Raven, blessed with the power of revenge, is even stronger than the current Snow Owl.
"In general, it is a good treasure in the mortal world. Even the so-called Sixth Ring Master of humans will be affected by the power of revenge..."
Daisy smiled softly, and the corners of her mouth seemed to turn up in front of her eyes.
"How about this treasure? Isn't this treasure suitable for you?"
Yeats nodded and said: "This blacklist... I mean, what is engraved on the page of the book of revenge is [ Is there an upper limit for the names of enemies?”
Daisy said: “On the fifth ring, you can only designate one enemy, but for the sixth ring, the number can be increased to three.”
Ye Zhi rubbed his chin. .
The Revenge Crow summoned by the [Book of Revenge] can be used as a dual-purpose magic pet for both reconnaissance and combat.
Compared to the snowy owl, which only appears in cold areas, crows are responsible for reconnaissance and are less noticeable.
The [Oath of Vengeance] ability can have an amplifying effect, which is particularly useful in duels.
"It is worth noting that [Oath of Vengeance] requires emotions to be triggered. To put it simply, you need to be hurt first before you can regard the other party as an enemy and record it in the parchment." Daisy added .
Yeats: "..."
Got it, avoid its sharp edges and be patient!
Yeats put away the book of revenge and immediately asked why Daisy appeared here.
“The Rainbow Bridge connects the atrium with the Kingdom of God. I was too bored in the Kingdom of God, so I gave part of my illusion power to the Goddess of Magic, and restored it to a lower level of divine power... which can be considered her. Thank you for protecting me from the revenge of the goddess of the night."
Yeats nodded, the gods are not about killing, but about human nature.
Daisy swallowed the Prince of Shadows, and was able to avoid being targeted by the goddess of the night, all thanks to the goddess of magic.
It is only natural to give the goddess of magic a return gift.
Daisy said lazily: "As for the low-level divine power, you can barely intervene in the atrium. It happened that the King of the Wild Hunt found me and said that the Apostle of Vengeance has targeted you and wants to ask me for a favor. I thought it was quite interesting, so I came over.”
It’s really Daisy’s style!
No wonder the Archbishop of Mist came and said that the Goddess of Mist suddenly stopped responding. It should be an abnormality caused by Daisy ceding part of her illusion authority.
Speaking of which, although the adoptive father was not present this time, he still saw his good intentions!
Yeats: "...and then what?"
"Then, now I have swallowed the divinity related to revenge."
Daisy spread her hands and said: "I guess the rainbow bridge is coming soon. , and then I will be promoted again and go to the Kingdom of God."
The words just finished.
A magnificent rainbow appeared in the sky.
The rainbow cuts through the sky and falls on Lake Ness. It leads to the sky and is the [Rainbow Bridge] connecting the two worlds!
Daisy appeared next to Yeats, held her forehead and sighed, saying:
“Well, look, this rainbow is urging me to go back again.”
Yeats: "...You won't destroy the Rainbow Bridge, will you?"
Daisy blinked, her beautiful gray eyes shining in the starlight:
"Wouldn't that be better?"
Immediately, Daisy turned around gracefully, held up her skirt and said goodbye to Yeats, walked slowly towards the Rainbow Bridge, and said lazily:
"The Rainbow Bridge is a law. There are many Rainbow Bridges in the world, just like the [Law of Revenge] is divided into many fragments."
Daisy said: "But from now on, when I am in charge of [Revenge] Under the fragments of the law, neither revenge nor tolerance is important anymore. "
"Those who want revenge should take revenge, and those who want tolerance should be tolerant. The important thing is not what God thinks, but what people think. "Daisy smiled, "This is the right I give people!"
Yeats sighed: "It sounds very nihilistic."
"Isn't revenge inherently nihilistic?" Daisy tilted her head and said.
"Revenge also has its meaning." Yeats said seriously, "Just like nothingness itself, it also has meaning...meaninglessness is a kind of meaning."
Daisy curled her lips. , said:
“Wait for your next promotion ceremony, I won’t let you go easily!”
Yeats's face changed slightly.
Don’t do that kind of thing!
