Chapter 35: Winter Goddess and Poison Goddess

night.

Yeats rushed several miles to greet her and saw the Valkyrie he had been thinking about.

Lyna the Wolf Girl rode a winter wolf, and beside her, the Eagle Helmeted Woman rode a white warhorse, her red hair like fire, her battle robe fluttering.

Ye Zhi had already seen her true appearance, or character picture, in the game "Phantom Wings". She was one of the most beautiful characters.

Grey is also very beautiful, but she has a carefree personality, so players usually treat her as a good brother or godfather.

Because in the difficult battles of hunting earth dragons, fire dragons, ice dragons and other ancient dragons, players can summon Grey to help fight together. She can both resist damage and output damage, which has become a blessing for countless clumsy players, and she is therefore respected as the "godfather" by everyone.

"I am truly unworthy of your Excellency's coming all the way to greet me." Lena smiled.

Ye Zhi exchanged a few pleasantries with her, invited Lena to the Lord's Mansion for a banquet, glanced at the Valkyrie, and pretended to be unfamiliar with her and said, "Excuse me, who is this..."

Lena introduced, "It is the Valkyrie I mentioned to you in the letter. She once served the Emperor as the captain of the Iron Oath Guard, Hildre!"

Hearing this, Ye Zhi cast his gaze towards the red-haired woman in the eagle helmet. Her face was hidden under the eagle helmet, and out of courtesy, she nodded slightly to Ye Zhi.

Seeing the familiar characters again, Yeats couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.

Ye Zhi was unable to keep a sullen expression, and the change in his eyes was quickly noticed by Xilude.

Hildre thought about it and realized that he did not know this lord, but he did find it admirable that he, as a lord, came from afar to welcome guests.

On the way back to Morningfrost Ridge.

When Lena learned that Yeats chose to ride a mule because of his poor riding skills, she did not look down on him and said kindly:

"There are many mounts suitable for riding in the North. If there is a chance, Master Ye Zhi can choose to buy a magical beast mount. With the magical pet contract, the mind is connected, so riding skills will naturally not be a problem."

This coincided with Yeats's idea, and he asked:

"What are some suitable mounts? Does Miss Lena have any recommendations?"

"For example, wargs, frost wolves, and snow horses are all common choices. As for the most famous mount in the North, it has to be the mount of the Winter Goddess—" Lena said:

"The King of Snow, the Snow Leopard!"

Ye Zhi: “…”

What is the fifth generation of Rick? The King of Litang, right?

"The Winter Goddess loves mountains, forests and hunting. She is a subordinate deity of the Goddess of Nature and is also known as the 'Snowshoe Goddess'. The people of the North place great importance on snowshoes, which is also reflected in their belief in the Winter Goddess." Lena said with a smile, "Her mount, the snow leopard, is a rare magical pet, and only cubs can contract with humans, so it has great potential."

Yeats pondered for a moment.

I wonder if the mount of the Winter Goddess is traditional or modern.

At this time, the silent Hildesh slowly spoke with a pleasant and magnetic voice.

"I read in the epics of the Northmen that—"

She looked up at the towering mountains in the distance under the night sky. "The Goddess of Winter once fought a fierce battle with the ancient dragon of natural disasters and eventually destroyed it. The battlefield eventually formed the current Absolute Mountains."

Lena's eyes lit up: "I often hear people say that Hild is not only powerful, but also knowledgeable. It really lives up to his reputation."

Faced with the compliment, Hildreth was neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a statement: "I just read some idle books."

Yeats nodded.

I also often read books, but they were books banned by the church, such as "A Guide to the Customs of Other Races"!
Lord's Mansion.

In the banquet hall, there is cream of mushroom soup, herb roast chicken, salt-baked bread...Today's dinner is prepared by the chef of the Lord's Mansion, and will be as sumptuous as possible.

Yeats prepared the appetizers himself, pickling them with herbs and detoxifying the wasp jellyfish, cutting off the tentacles that contained the wasp stingers.

Then cut the wasp jellyfish into shreds, blanch them in a pot and soak them in cold water for later use, then add minced garlic, minced ginger, fruit vinegar and fish sauce for seasoning.

[Cold wasp jellyfish salad, two stars, made by shredding wasp jellyfish and mixing it cold, crisp and tough, refreshing and delicious, and eating it will permanently increase your resistance to poison (small)]

Lena and Hildreth sat down together.

When Hildreth took off her helmet, Yeats took a second look without paying attention.

Red-haired beauty, really pretty!
Lena was also observing Yeats's reaction, wondering if he would be as shocked as she was.

Unexpectedly, Yeats just glanced at her politely, his expression normal, as if he had already known that Hildreth was extraordinary.

"Did he know this a long time ago? Or does he just have extraordinary self-control?" Lena was more inclined to the latter.

In front of each person was a small bowl of "Cold Wasp Jellyfish Salad". Grey sat next to Yeats, looking as bitter as a gourd.

This is a dish made from something highly poisonous!
If the guests knew that the host treated them with wasps and jellyfish, they would definitely curse!
"What kind of dish is this?" Lena asked curiously.

"I made the cold cuts myself," Yeats said truthfully. "They were made from wasps and jellyfish."

Lena was stunned for a moment, suspecting that she had heard it wrong.

The Argonian herald stood behind Hildurd, carrying a two-handed giant sword on his back, and said coldly:

"Wasp jellyfish are poisonous. I don't know why the lord uses them to entertain guests."

Ye Zhi was not angry either. This Asian dragon was loyal and died while trying to save the Valkyrie.

The corpse is talking... We should save it if we can.

Ye Zhi picked up a piece of jellyfish skin and tasted it, then said, "It tastes very good. Are you sure you don't want to try it?"

Hildreth looked at Ye Zhi thoughtfully and said, "Are you a food chef?"

Only a gourmet chef can make magical beasts into edible dishes.

The supply of the army can be said to be more important than tactics. If there is a food master accompanying the army during the journey, it can greatly improve the army's supply capacity. Therefore, Hildreth attaches great importance to the food master.

"A little research."

Yeats acknowledged the identity of a food chef.

A gourmet who can make poison into food must have a very high level. Hildreth looked down at the dish of cold wasp jellyfish, picked up a piece, put it into his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

Hildreth paused for a moment, and a strange look flashed across his eyes.

The taste is delicious.

I can even feel my resistance to poison improving, which is clearly a benefit provided by this dish.

Even if it's just a little bit, it can affect me, which is definitely not something that any food chef within the three rings can do!

Hild raised her eyes, and the handsome silver-haired noble boy was reflected in her eyes, and she was secretly puzzled.

How could he be so unknown when he has such an accomplishment in food and is so young...

"It has a very refreshing taste. I never thought that wasp jellyfish could be made into such a crispy and chewy cold dish." Lena praised, "Delicious!"

Ye Zhi smiled, and felt Gray beside him poking him, and whispered:

"Ye Zhi, is there any more in the kitchen? I'll go get another one..."

Ye Zhi was stunned and glanced at Grey, only to find that she had an innocent look on her face and the plate of cold wasp jellyfish was already empty.

"Don't look at me like that." Gray blushed slightly and said stubbornly, "This is the first time I've tasted this kind of seasoned cold dish. It feels like oriental food and I find it very novel."

Ye Zhi: “…”

Okay, this is very Grey!
During the dinner, Yeats revealed the origin of the wasp jellyfish and the whereabouts of the suspected Dark Night Sect members.

"The Dark Night Sect." Lena frowned slightly, "We must try our best to avoid unnecessary trouble on this trip to the northern trade route..."

Hildreth expressed a different opinion: "Since we are going to pass through the Absolute Mountains, we must first eliminate the hidden dangers. I think the Dark Night Sect mentioned by Baron Yeats is indeed real. We might as well take the initiative and destroy the hiding place of the sect members."

"Why is Lord Hildreth so sure that the Dark Night Sect is hiding in the Absolute Mountains?" Lena asked.

"In fact, when I passed through White Night City, I saw a bounty in the guild, which read 'Catch the Dark Night Bishop who escaped outside the city, regardless of life or death.'"

Hild said: "The most likely hiding place outside the pass is in the Jueling Mountains, especially the ruins of the ancient temple. It was once a temple dedicated to the God of Dreams and had a close relationship with the Goddess of Darkness."

Ye Zhi was slightly startled.

In "Phantom Wings", the God of Dreams and the Goddess of Dark Night are originally different priests.

But after murdering the God of Dreams in the Dark Night, she took over the authority of dreams. In addition, she also possessed the priesthood of poison and assassination.

And Hildreth's reasoning gradually evoked Yeats's memory of the previous plot.

"The ruins of the Dark Night Temple, a third-ring dungeon. The boss is a Dark Night Bishop. The output mainly relies on poisoning. Just prepare some antidotes..."

Ye Zhi thought to himself, "In terms of hard power, I can only assist Xilude."

On the other hand, you can also use your chef’s expertise to poison the followers of the Dark Night Goddess!
