Chapter 325 The Dark Night Sect has decided that you will be the chef!
"Your Excellency Yeats, why do you suddenly want to investigate the [Tidecaller Secret Cult]?"
Klan communicated with Yeats remotely through SMS and relying on the magic network.
I always feel that every time I act with Duke Yeats, I will always encounter disaster...
Although every time, Duke Yeats can show his super execution ability and save the day, but This happened more than once or twice, so Crane always had an inexplicable awe of Yeats, as if Yeats could easily be involved in events related to gods.
Crane picked up the dropped pipe, held it in his hand, took a deep breath, analyzed it calmly, and muttered to himself.
"I hope this is my illusion..."
Soon, Yeats's text message came back, explaining:
"The Tidecaller Secret Cult I have heard about this. This secret sect absorbs humans and transforms them into fish-men through rituals. It is not allowed by heaven and has become a serious problem for the Lionheart King... I want to eradicate that secret sect in one fell swoop, both publicly and privately. Contact you and want to investigate with you.”
“That’s it!”
Crane put down his pipe, his eyes shimmering in the swirling mist, and said with admiration:
"Not only does you have noble blood flowing in your body, but you also possess the chivalrous virtue of fighting for justice!"
Weeding out the strong and supporting the weak, slaying evil and demons, these are just acts recognized by the knights.
Although most of the time, knights represent the interests of the nobles, there are also fearless people among them who fight to defend the weak.
In Crane's view, Yeats was not only a talented bard, but also one of the best contemporary knights in the Golden Lion Kingdom!
After all, the dignified Duke is actually willing to go into danger and personally investigate the secret religion that harms one party. This is something that those mediocre nobles cannot match!
Listening to Crane's emotion, Yeats sat in his study, tapping his fingers on the desk, his thoughts diverging.
Whether it is a Western knight, an Eastern knight, or a cowboy or a samurai, they all have something in common.
To sum it up in one sentence, it is to fight for the things you cherish.
If this operation can eradicate the Tidecaller Secret Cult that is responsible for the disaster, it will also be a blessing for the coastal civilians.
"If it's a compliment, there's no need to say it." Yeats cleared his throat, "Please give me the information you have, Mr. Crane."
"Of course!"
K Lang paused for a moment, then changed his narrative tone and said slowly:
"Plymouth, the base of the Tidecaller Secret Cult, is a small coastal fishing village. The local fishermen can often salvage gold from the seabed, but According to my investigation, these are actually treasures given to humans by murlocs, and the price of the reward is that humans need to join the Tidecalling Secret Cult, give up their human skin and become murlocs, thereby expanding their influence on fish. The belief in the god of man..."
Yeats nodded understandingly.
This plot in Phantom Wings is actually stitched together from the famous story "The Shadow over Innsmouth" from the Cthulhu Mythology, telling the story of the Deep Ones and the Old One, Dagon.
The deep diver is actually the prototype of the fishman in later fantasy works.
This god of mermaids, Yeats also has an impression, is a low-level divine power, and his belief is only spread among the mermaid clan. He and the god of mermaids hate each other, which leads to the fact that mermaids and mermaids always fight each other whenever they meet. .
Theoretically, Yeats can also stew the fish-men into fish head soup, but it is too curious... The fish-men's mounts, such as some fat-headed fish, salamanders, and jumping frogs, are very useful for making soup. tasty.
Yeats was thinking that if he cooperated with the Dark Night Sect to destroy the Tidecaller Secret Sect, he might be able to offer a gift of food to the Night Goddess in exchange for blessing——
The blessings from the Moon Goddess are already there, and the blessings from multiple Night Goddess are also reasonable!
Klan continued: "Every year, the local fishermen in Plymouth will sacrifice a virgin alive to the fish-man king living on the coast in exchange for the gold rewarded by the fish-man king... The content of the ceremony is dark And cruel, but the local lords were mediocre and incompetent, and it was not until this year that the incident was exposed."
"How did the paper not cover the fire?" Yeats asked for the details.
Crane said: "Because this year, the girl who was sacrificed escaped by herself before she was about to be sacrificed alive..."
Yeats was stunned and commented. ：
"It's incredible."
"Yes, it's incredible that a weak girl could escape from the surveillance of the whole village while being isolated and helpless." Crane said regretfully, " It's a pity that I couldn't find out more details."
"Can't we just find the girl?"
"This is the problem!" Crane said seriously. "The one who saved that girl was the demon-hunting chief judge of the Tribunal, Netherhunter Famula!"
Yeats's heart skipped a beat.
Underworld Hunter Famula is no less ruthless than Hastings in the Holy See. To be precise, she is more difficult to deal with than Hastings.
Hastings serves the Holy See purely to enjoy the joy of holy war, which is called fighting for fun.
And Famula is a paranoid woman.
The witch who had raised her was shot dead by Famula herself because she was found guilty by the Tribunal.
Among the senior staff of the Holy See, Famula is also ranked high. At present, I think she should be at the sixth ring level.
Yeats said cautiously: "If I remember correctly, Famula is the judge who led the [Demon Hunting Hammer] formation?"
"Yes." Crane said with a wry smile, "I Having dealt with members of the Demon Hunt Hammer, to be honest, I would rather be friends with the warden of the Empire than get close to those executioners.”
The Demon Hunt Hammer is with Hastings. The [Wing Cavalry] under Si's command is an equally famous extraordinary army with a far-reaching reputation. They are uniformly dressed in plate armor, flails, and iron masks, and are a hot-weapon unit equipped with magic matchlock guns.
Yeats remembered that the Demon Hunting Hammer did appear in the plot of the Tidecaller Mystery. They bloodbathed Portsmouth with thunderous means. No local civilians survived, which aroused the local lord's protest against the Holy See's troops entering the territory privately. However, the lord soon died of suicide.
Unexpectedly, Famula led the team in person... Yeats frowned slightly... This woman was a difficult villain in the plot, wearing a black leather coat, spiked boots, an iron mask, and a broad-shouldered windbreaker. Shake S Queen.
He is murderous, paranoid, and has a bad personality, but he has a good-looking face and is also very popular among the player community.
“The girl who escaped from the sacrificial ceremony was closely supervised after being rescued by Famula. I was unable to find out any more useful information.” Crane said, “So, I I plan to go to Portsmouth in person..."
After a moment of pause, Crane said hesitantly: "Do you want to go with me, Your Excellency?"
Yeats also said. He had to sneak into the Dark Night Sect, so he refused:
"I will act alone and contact you if there is any situation. Thank you very much, Mr. Crane."
For some reason, Crane breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "You are too polite. I will wait for your news at any time!"
Cut off the text message.
Yeats played with the ever-changing mask in his hand, his eyes flashing and analyzing calmly.
“The Dark Night Sect, the Tidecaller Mystery, and the Demon Hunting Hammer, these three forces will start a battle in Portsmouth... The Dark Night Sect’s goal should be [Heart of the Ocean], and Famula is also very interested. It is possible that we are looking for this treasure."
"But the Heart of the Ocean is part of the Poseidon Trident, and this treasure is very fateful to me..." "Since Daisy asked me to sneak into the Dark Night Sect, Then I might as well borrow the power of the Dark Night Sect and instigate a war between the Dark Night Sect and the Demon Hunting Hammer, so that I can fish in troubled waters.”
“When the high priest of the Dark Night Sect fights with Famula, I will find a way to get the Heart of the Ocean!”
“In this way, not only can the trick be completed, Through the Master's promotion ceremony, you can also obtain the Tidecaller Staff, and at the same time weaken the forces of the Dark Night Sect and the Demon Hunting Hammer... kill three birds with one stone!"
Yeats finally understood, the Trickster's move! A profession that is associated with deceit, abduction, intrigues, and even the promotion ceremony is extremely complicated!
“It’s not a big problem.”
Yeats looked to the sky and said:
"As long as I can disguise myself as the chef of the Dark Night Sect, with my skills, I am not afraid that I will not be able to defeat the high priest of the Dark Night Sect!"

Underground Temple , the purple curtain flutters in the wind.
The candlelight was weak, and the air was filled with the fragrance of orchids. The priestess wearing a veil stood outside the curtain and whispered:
"High Priest, we have discovered the whereabouts of the Heart of the Ocean. It is on the coast of Plymouth, in the hands of the six-ringed fish-man king."
Half-covered by the purple curtain, a looming body appeared lazily. Leaning on the fragrant pillow, his voice was as soft as the night wind.
"In that case, let's get ready to leave for Plymouth..."
The smell of rosemary is dazzling, and what's even more tempting is the looming figure, holding it with delicate hands. With his forehead splayed, the face behind the curtain is fascinating even in the dark.
The priest whispered: "But there is a poisonous snake in the dark night, which has entangled us. You also know that she is very troublesome..."
"Oh, Famula."
The texture of silk rang softly, and the figure slowly stood up, and opened the curtain with slender fingers.
The high priest of the Dark Night Sect wears a purple robe, which is gorgeous and soft in texture and fits her exquisite figure. She wears exquisite amethysts on her wrists and neck, which sway gently with her steps.
Margotha Tess has a high nose, full red lips, and long eyebrows. The curved arc adds a bit of majesty and mystery.
“The heart of the ocean is a sacrifice to the goddess of the night, and we are bound to get it.”
The high priest's gaze was deep and sharp, his rare dark purple eyes shimmering like gems, and his long hair as thick as night floated gently, filled with a terrifying magical aura.
"If Famula dares to hinder our plans...I will take action!"
At the same moment, a violent shadow formed on her dark purple nails and fingertips.
The priest shuddered.
The high priest's talent in shadow magic is unique. What's terrible is that sometimes even she herself cannot control this restless power.
This moody, cold and noble high priest is an authoritarian presence in the Dark Night Sect, possessing irresistible majesty and temptation.
"Please calm down the high priest." The priest lowered his head and said, "I will continue to inquire about Famula's movements... In addition, there are still some matters in the sect waiting for you to decide..."
Under the cover of purple curtains, Margotha crossed her slender legs beside the bed. Her purple robe exuded a vague fragrance and said lightly: "Let's talk to me about this after dinner."
" The thing I want to report to you is related to food..." The priest said awkwardly, "Just today, the gourmet chef who used to be the head chef of the sect was found to be an agent of the Mist Sect who infiltrated our sect."
Margotha frowned slightly.
"How many days has that craftsman been dormant?"
"Two days. It should be yesterday that the Mist believer disguised himself as the original chef by disguising himself. This morning he was discovered, but the original chef also He has disappeared." The priest asked for instructions:
"Now, there is still a vacancy for the position of head chef in the sect. Is it necessary to recruit a qualified chef from the sect headquarters? "
Margotha thought for a moment, nodded gently, and said: "That's fine. The participation of the chef in the night goddess's festival is indispensable... However, this time, the identity must be strictly checked, and no business trips are allowed. Pool!”
The priest said: “Don’t worry, unless the goddess of the mist casts the illusion herself, no more mist believers will sneak in!”
Margotha nodded slightly, stood up and said: "There is no guarantee that the other chefs are not the masters of the Mist Sect... I'd better cook it myself."
"I will also prepare a piece of food for you." Margotha Gesha said softly to the priest.
The face of the priestess changed, cold sweat fell down, and her voice became trembling:
"Thank you, thank you, high priest..."
The high priest refines poison. He is a master of cooking, and he also follows the method of refining poisons. His cooking skills are... difficult to describe in just one word!
"By the way, remember to choose a chef with good culinary skills this time."
Margotha warned: "Although I don't want to satisfy the goddess of the night...but at least I must be satisfied!"

Morning Frost Ridge, Sword Winter Castle.
Nearly a week has passed since Gray returned to the Dragon Land.
During this period, the Black Knight once again performed miracles on the chessboard on the Jueling Mountains, and asked her beloved horse Farlan to carry Hilud to her temple to help her digest the experience she had gained in the North in order to break through the six-ring bottleneck. .
The Black Knight said that Hilud’s “retreat” time this time will be about two to three months.
"Her talent is one of the best among all the knights I have ever seen, so promotion to the sixth ring is a natural progression." The black knight said, "It's you, Yeats..."
"What's wrong with me?"
"With your talent, you are actually not suitable for practicing combat skills, but you have been promoted from the first ring to the fifth ring in more than a year." The black knight admired, "When What a miracle..."
Yeats: "..."
You are obviously complimenting me, but why can't you be happy?
After all, Herod is the Black Knight's divine choice. With the help of the Black Knight, I believe that after the retreat, she will be able to step into the realm of the master.
By then, Hilud will also have a place among the top powerhouses in the continent.
Yeats also felt a sense of urgency. The top priority was to complete the promotion ceremony set by Daisy first!
In late February, on a foggy day, Daisy arrived unexpectedly.
"I have already thought about how to get you into the Dark Night Sect." Daisy said seriously.
Yeats asked curiously: "What can we do?"
Daisy said: "Let you serve as the new head chef of the Dark Night Sect as a gourmet chef!"
< br>Yeats: "..."
Send some soup?
