Food Poems

Chapter 390: The trial ends, Mammon joins the team, familiars and harvest (1W)

"Are you sure you want to give up these treasures and get involved in that meaningless dispute?"

Mammon insisted, "The heritage in the Sea God Temple is ten times more valuable than the monster you mentioned. Taking the treasure and running away is the most appropriate choice!"

He always uses "ten times" as the unit of counting, and he is worthy of being a "multiply by ten" businessman.

Yeats knew very well that Mammon would not really share the benefits with her believers. Even if she gave them rewards occasionally, her real intention was just to better exploit her servants.

Compared with the ancestor of the blood clan, the [God of Jealousy], Mammon, the [God of Greed], is the real vampire!
Ye Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the bronze ruins that had sunk to the bottom of the sea for who knows how many years and were covered with seaweed and rust.

The ruins before him seemed to emit a luxurious pearly light from underneath—it was an illusion created by the God of Greed, with a magical power that aroused fanaticism, like the golden light released by a mountain of gold.

Ye Zhi's eyes were extremely calm, and he thought to himself.

This is nothing more than a trap.

Ye Zhi had no doubt that when he set foot in it, he would fall into Mammon's trial. Not only would Mammon's ring be taken away, but even his soul would be lost!

Thinking of this, Ye Zhi turned and left, ignoring the anxious black cat on his shoulder.

"Ah, you, are you really going to leave? Don't you want to think about it again? I can give you ten times the treasure, as long as you don't leave!" The black cat said in a resentful tone, "Hey, are you a fool? You don't even want the money that is delivered to your door? The inheritance in the temple is worth your ten years of hard work!"

Mammon said a lot in one breath, and even added a spell of enchantment to his voice, but this control spell had no effect on Yeats, a bard. He returned calmly without changing his expression, and said calmly:
"Don't scream at me, and be prepared to be my familiar!"

The gamble set by Mammon was to see whether Yeats could stick to himself before greed. If he withstood the test, then according to the bet, Mammon would become Yeats's familiar and obey his orders.

The devil has a strong sense of contract. In Faust, the devil Mephistopheles has been Faust's servant for a long time, so Yeats was not surprised by Mammon's proposal at that time.

However, Yeats did not think that Mammon would obey his orders obediently, and he thought that he was just another freeloader.

But at least, with Mammon, a person well-versed in intelligence, acting as a guide, it will be easier to find the remaining few demon ritual objects that make up the [Ring of the Nibelung] in the future!
Seeing Ye Zhi's firm attitude, Mammon didn't say anything more, but just sighed softly.

"It is completely stupid to give up immediate benefits for others. Others may not know what you have paid for, and may not thank you... Even so, you still want to go back?"

"You are wrong. I am doing this for myself."

Ye Zhi smiled and said, "The King Scale Snake is delicious when cooked into a dish. I must use it as a snack tonight!"

The black cat's golden eyes flickered slightly, and his mood became very strange.

After all, you're doing it for food!

Human beings are really strange. Their obsession with food actually surpasses their desire for wealth!
So, how delicious is the "hairtail fish" he mentioned? I am a little curious!

"Then go back—" The black cat's eyes released a calm and deep yellow light, "I'll make it clear in advance that if you die in the siege of sea monsters, it will be considered a failure in the trial. I will take your soul according to the contract!"

Ye Zhi glanced at the black cat on his shoulder, reached out and grabbed its neck, and held it in his palm.

"What are you doing? Let go!" The black cat widened its eyes, wagging its white paws, and the gold jewelry on its body jingled. It shouted, "There is no such clause in our contract!"

"You are not the real body, how dare you be so arrogant to the Moonlight God's Chosen." Ye Zhi raised the corner of his mouth, "Wait and see what the Moon River is!"

The Moon River was created by the Moonlight Goddess herself by cutting a piece of the moonlit sky. It contains the vast divinity of moonlight and is the most powerful magic weapon she left behind in the material plane.

After becoming the Moonlight God's Chosen, the Moon River has been tied around Ye Zhi's waist in the form of a belt. And with the blessing of the Moon River, the power of "Blessing Moon River" is enough to repel many six-ring beings!

Mammon's abilities mainly focus on bewitchment and rhetoric, and he is not good at head-on combat. Therefore, this consciousness that appears in the image of a demon cannot pose a substantial threat to Ye Zhi if the gamble fails.

Hearing Moon River, Black Cat's eyes flashed with something strange. He stopped struggling, drooping his limbs, thinking to himself:
"The Moon River may follow the Moonlight God's Chosen, but it is unlikely that the Moonlight God's Chosen will obtain the Moon River..."

"Only those who stand out among the multiple God's Chosen can be personally recognized by the Moon God and gain the authority to rule the Moon River."

The black cat tilted its head and looked at Ye Zhi's profile, feeling a little surprised.

It seems that the Moonlight Goddess attaches great importance to this chosen one!

After a while, Yeats took Mammon out of the seabed and saw lightning and thunder and huge waves on the dark sea.

A huge whirlpool in the center of the sea was constantly surging, and a slender silver creature as fast as lightning was circling rapidly around the whirlpool. Not far from the whirlpool, a snake-haired siren with a hideous face and a body height of nearly 100 meters was seen, with octopus-like tentacles on its lower body shaking the entire strait!

The Eagle Vision Technique pierced through the storm, and his sight fell on Perron struggling in the sea. Yeats called out:
"Snowy Owl, fish Perun out!"

"Gu~" The owl spread its spotted white wings, flowing with abundant magic power, and quickly flew across the battlefield.

Mammon, who was lying on Ye Zhi's shoulder, opened his eyes slightly.

This human actually commands an imperial-level magical beast? With this magical pet's help, it would be more than enough to take down the imperial-scaled snake!
At the same moment, surging silver flames gathered on Ye Zhi's body. The moonlight and fighting spirit seemed particularly dazzling in the dark night. The star-like light condensed into a large bow made of crystal material in Ye Zhi's palm. The almost transparent bow body revealed an even more transparent silver light as the moonlight gathered.

Bow of the Moon Goddess!

This epic weapon gifted by the hunting goddess Artemis is also the best choice for hunting sea monsters!
Under the cover of moonlight and fighting spirit, Ye Zhi rushed into the sky, overlooking the magnificent sea in the storm, and was extremely eye-catching on the battlefield!
The dazzling silver figure quickly attracted the attention of Chandler and Anfia on the cliff. Both of them showed surprise in their eyes and looked up at the figure hovering above the battlefield in the rainstorm.

He appeared in response to prayers and came in times of crisis. At this moment, in the eyes of the two, the Duke of Honeysuckle already had the aura of divinity!

"Did you... send the message to Duke Yeats?" Anfia asked in a low voice.

Chandler's eyes were complicated: "No... I think the reason why he took action was to... save!"

Before he could even promise Ye Zhi a huge profit, he had already appeared, fighting alone against three emperor-level monsters in the raging waves.

The heroic spirit of standing alone against thousands of enemies made Chandler's eyes flash with respect... Duke Yeats possesses the character of a "righteous man"!

Yeats's appearance also attracted the hatred of the sea monster Scylla. A shrill and hateful scream suddenly sounded, mixed with dizzying magic, penetrating the storm and echoing in Yeats' ears!

Sixth-ring spell: Siren's Scream.

With a shriek, the sea surface was stirred up by huge waves, as if responding to Scylla's call, gathering into a huge spiral of water column, sweeping towards Yeats! The magical shriek could destroy one's will, and make people feel despair and fear in their hearts, and watch themselves being swallowed by the huge waves!
Chandler had suffered from this trick before, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously wanted to speak out to remind Yeats to be careful, but he accidentally pulled the wound, and blood spurted out of his chest that was pierced by Scylla's tentacles!

"cough!"

Chandler's body shook, his face turned pale, but a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in his dim eyes.

Beside Yeats, there was a harp covered in golden light. Amid the deafening thunder, the breeze transformed from the divinity of art was like an invisible hand caressing the harp, playing clear and loud music!
Even on a noisy stormy night, the sound of the piano still pierces through the wind and rain, covering up the sirens' screams!
The Sea Witch's eyes showed shock: "What kind of musical instrument is that?"

He could even restrain Scylla's singing.

Is this the gift that the goddess of art gives to the chosen one?

Sonic magic is a move that the siren is proud of. With the existence of that musical instrument, Scylla's threat is instantly reduced!

Chandler's eyes flickered. As a believer in the God of Greed, he knew a lot about the treasures in this world. At this moment, the musical instrument chosen by the God of Art was most likely the legendary instrument that could bring light to the world, the Lyre of Light!

A trace of greed and envy surged in Chandler's heart, followed by deep helplessness... Even if he owned that treasure, he could not suppress Scylla. After all, music was the specialty of the God of Art!

Thunder and lightning, heavy rain, Scylla on the sea found that his magic was ineffective, his face was ferocious, and he immediately changed his strategy, raising dozens of huge tentacles. The suction cups of the tentacles were like iron thorns, covered with barbs, and extremely sharp. They tore through the air in an instant, whistling and attacking, like a gun array breaking through the air, locking all Ye Zhi's retreat routes!
Ye Zhi's eyes suddenly focused, he drew his bow and put an arrow on it. The bright moonlight condensed on the bow. As the bowstring was fully drawn, the silver light became more dazzling. Suddenly, a dazzling arrow flashed out, and the 'Bow of the Moon Goddess' shot out a ball of silver light, which collided head-on with Scylla's tentacles!
boom! !

There was a horrific explosion in the sky above the sea. A ball of light shot up into the sky, followed by a shock wave that spread in all directions, causing the entire sea surface to surge.

Even Chandler and Anfia on the cliff were forced to put up barriers to resist the powerful aftermath.

"It's the Lyre of Light and the Bow of the Moon Goddess."

Mammon's slightly surprised voice rang in Ye Zhi's mind.

"I didn't expect you to have so many goodies on you!"

The God of Greed has a natural love for treasures, so when he sees Ye Zhi who can easily take out good things, he naturally feels some interest.

Yeats: "Shut up, familiar."

Mammon was so angry that his teeth itched: "You haven't won yet, why are you so proud!"

At the same time, the black cat was lying on the top of a big tree outside the battlefield, looking up at the mighty Ye Zhi, angrily drawing circles on the tree trunk with his claws, and muttering:

"I curse you...I curse you to be a poor ghost for the rest of your life!"

Ye Zhi: “…”

What a vicious curse!

It seems that I can only use my invincible eating skills to make the God of Greed change his mind!

above the sea.

Scylla's face was distorted, the snakes on his head bared their fangs, stared at Yeats with eyes that seemed to be spitting out anger, and screamed:

"Who are you? Why are you stopping me?!"

Yeats had heard the story of Scylla, and this sea monster had a miserable life, but he couldn't just watch her destroy the town.

Moreover, in order to pass Mammon's trial, the threat of Scylla must be eliminated.

Yeats's eyes gradually became stern, and he aimed the bow at Scylla again. Suddenly, he heard Peren's cough in his ears.

"Please, please give me a chance... I still want to... try again!"

Ye Zhi was startled and looked back towards the direction of the beach, only to see Perren, who was soaking wet and seriously injured, having been dragged ashore by the Snowy Owl using the object-control technique. He was now climbing up with difficulty, with determination in his eyes.

"The God of Love... has a spell to remove the curse. Duke Yeats, please, give me another chance!"

Throughout the ages, many romantic legends have been born under the belief in the god of love, such as a prince kissing a sleeping princess, or a princess kissing a prince who turned into a frog. The endings of these stories all end with the curse being lifted.

In the school of Eros, there is a spell called "True Love Spell", which is used to restrain curses, and the prerequisite for its casting is sincere emotions.

Ye Zhi always felt that a promiscuous guy like Perron could not master the magic that only a god of pure love could master, let alone lift such a powerful curse on Scylla.

However, when Yeats's eyes fell on Perron's determined eyes, he remained silent for a moment, put down the bow, and turned around.

"I'll go deal with the other two emperor-level monsters first to buy you some time." Ye Zhi said.

Perun's eyes showed gratitude. Standing on the beach, he called out to Scylla:

"Please stop, Scylla, please believe me, I have a way to remove the curse from you!"

Scylla was originally a water nymph.

Due to the curse of the sea witch, she degenerated into a terrifying siren, her heart filled with hatred.

She really wanted to lift the curse on herself and turn back into a beautiful girl, but the first sea witch who cast the curse had already died of old age, leaving her alone to suffer torture and madness during her long life.

At this moment, hearing Perun's call, the huge body of the mermaid shook visibly and slowly turned around. Its dark pupils without whites silently looked down at Perun with an indescribably gloomy expression.

"Remove the curse?" The siren grinned, terrifying and chilling, with a self-deprecating and sad smile. "Even I can't find a way, how can you possibly do it?"

"Do you believe in miracles?" Perron asked.

The Siren was stunned for a moment.

Perun said seriously: "Love is a miracle. As long as there is love, any curse in the world can be resolved!"

Magnificent rose-colored light fluttered around Perun, which was the manifestation of the materialization of the divinity of the god of love. The magic power of the god of love began to gather in the realm of creation. As a bard who believed in the god of love, Perun began to call upon this magic power and tried to express his emotions to the siren.

"I believe in love at first sight, and I also believe that given time, you will slowly and hard fall in love with me."

The elf showed a sad and tired smile on his face: "Please give me a chance, dear, let me help you, okay?"

Bang!
The sharp tentacles pierced through the elf's chest, and blood soaked the siren's tentacles.

Scylla lifted Perun with his tentacles and observed his expression closely, his eyes complicated and cold, and whispered: "Are you kidding?"

Peren spoke intermittently:

"A long time ago, in the Great Rock Strait, there lived a carefree water nymph..."

"She is beautiful, kind, and sad. She avoids the love of mortals, but is hurt by their pursuit..."

Perun slowly recounted Scylla's past. He adapted these stories, which he had compiled based on Scylla's life experience, into poems and recited them slowly.

These most unforgettable memories of Scylla brought her back to her childhood. The divinity of the god of love eased her hostility. For a moment, Scylla's eyes gradually became clear and she gradually fell into deep thought.

Amidst the raging waves, Ye Zhi was fighting a giant whirlpool monster. He looked back in the direction of Scylla and was slightly startled.

Wow, Peren actually managed to control the BOSS!
"I am a priest of the God of Love, and I have the divine magic to remove the curse."

Perun looked at Scylla and smiled weakly:

"Please allow me to kiss the back of your hand... I can't guarantee that you can recover, but at least, I won't hurt you."

Scylla found it ridiculous that an elf that could be easily killed by him said that it would not hurt him, but deep in his heart, he felt soft. This strange emotion made Scylla confused. He looked at the elf for a long time. His desire to lift the curse overwhelmed his madness. Finally, he nodded and said:

"it is good."

The human girl on top of the giant sea monster slowly stretched out her slender pale arm. There were human blue veins on that arm, and no trace of sea monster could be seen at all.

Peren held up the hand and fell into a trance.

"What are you standing there for?" Scylla's voice was a little angry.

"I just thought it was beautiful." Perron smiled, "It was the first time I held the hand of a water nymph."

Scylla was stunned. She had the appearance of a siren and the soul of a water nymph. Sometimes she would wonder which side she was cursed to be on, and the elf in front of her gave her a definite answer.

Scylla's eyes flickered slightly as she watched Peren slowly lean over and gently kiss the back of her hand.

Nothing happens.

Scylla felt disappointed, but also somewhat relieved. He looked at Peren and said hoarsely:

"Go back... I'll let you go, and I'll let the humans here go..."

Peren didn't say anything, but slowly raised his head, stared at Scylla, and slowly let go of his hand.

At this time.

Silver strands quickly grew on Peren's black hair, and the edges of his handsome face gradually became distinct.

At the same time, a surge of magical power surged out from Perun, enveloping Scylla completely.

Scylla's figure quickly shrank, his eyes widened in shock, and he said in a trembling voice:
"You...did what?"

"I just exchanged ten years of my life for it."

Perun smiled slightly and said, "I heard that the God of Love promised me that your curse can be lifted."

A dazzling light rises on the coast.

Everyone's attention was attracted by it.

Scylla's body was seen reduced to the size of a human girl, held in Perun's arms, with her eyes weakly closed, and the waves lapping against her slender, snow-white human legs.

"This...what is going on?!" This unexpected scene made Chandler full of disbelief.

"He... lifted the curse on Scylla?" Anfia was so shocked that she froze on the spot and murmured, "But... how is this possible!"

Scylla's curse was cast by the first sea witch herself. After that witch died, even the current sea witch, Anfia, could not find a way to lift the curse!
She had told Perun that a true love's kiss could lift Scylla's curse, but it was all a lie!
However, Peren actually accomplished the impossible!

Anfia's face was full of surprise, she couldn't believe what she saw, but she saw Peren taking off his red robe and covering the naked and unconscious Scylla with it.

At the cost of his life and using true love as magic, Perun lifted the curse on Scylla and restored her to her original form as a water nymph.

The water nymph Scylla gradually woke up, with a dazed look in her eyes. She broke free from Perun's arms, stared at her reflection on the water at the beach, and was stunned for a long time, tears silently streaming down her cheeks.

"Thank...thank you..." Scylla whispered, "I...don't know...how to thank you..."

Perun smiled and said, "The life span of an elf is very long. Ten years is nothing more than the blink of an eye. Compared to this, seeing your smile makes me happier!"

It was sunrise, the sun shone on the sea, brilliant and golden. Scylla wiped away her tears, smiled slightly, and her body gradually became transparent under the sun.

Perron's smile suddenly disappeared, his face became serious, and he asked nervously: "Are you... okay?"

"Don't be nervous." Scylla shook her head slightly and said, "My life should have ended long ago. It was the Siren's curse that kept me alive for hundreds of years."

"But, in these hundreds of years, all I felt was pain. Because the power was too strong, I couldn't even find a way to kill myself... Fortunately, I met you."

Under the sunlight, the water fairy was radiant, with tears in her eyes, and she whispered:
"Thank you for helping me get rid of this. I... can't even repay you..."

"No need to repay," Perron said, "because I love you."

“Love…can disappoint people, but it can also give people hope.”

The water fairy smiled with tears in her eyes and said:

"I can't say I love you, but...please give me another hug, okay?"

Peren's eyes flickered as he watched the water nymph's gradually fading figure and nodded silently.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

She stepped barefoot on the beach, leaving shallow traces. The waves washed her snow-white ankles, and she tiptoed lightly.

The light gradually dissipated from the toes.

Peren kept his arms open, looked down at his empty chest, then raised his eyes to gaze at the beautiful sunrise over the sea and exhaled deeply.

"I really like her more as a mermaid..."

Peren looked at the fiery red sunrise, and the smiling face of the girl seemed to appear before his eyes. He thought:
"However, as long as her wish can be fulfilled, I will also feel happy..."

boom! !

There was a loud explosion under the sky. Perun turned around immediately and saw Ye Zhi, who was covered in moonlight and fighting spirit, throwing out a spear like a meteor.

The spear tore through the sky, leaving a silver tail flame and shooting towards the royal scale snake swimming quickly in the sea.

As its master had died, the Sea King Snake attempted to escape by triggering an undersea earthquake and a tsunami. However, Yeats had already set his sights on this prey, and when it began to retreat, Yeats suddenly attacked, and Gayeberg shot out like lightning!

Ka!

The tip of the gun sank into the body of the royal snake, and blood immediately soaked the surface of the sea. It twisted its body in pain, struggled constantly, and swam quickly in the sea, but the tip of the gun pierced deeper and deeper into its body. The royal snake's eyes went black, and it slammed into the reef, smashing the reef into pieces with a "boom". Its belly turned upside down, and it was washed to the shallows by the sea water, and finally stranded.

The majestic and majestic monster was killed by the Duke of Honeysuckle in just a few rounds.

Witnessing this oppressive performance, Anfia and Chandler were shocked and took a deep breath at the same time.

Chandler secretly felt lucky that he did not have a head-on conflict with Yeats at that time, otherwise he might have been killed by the spear like the royal snake!

Anfia felt a little regretful. If she had known that the Duke of Honeysuckle was so powerful, she would not have had to cooperate with the Knights Templar and could have surrendered directly to Yeats!
Yeats blew the hawk whistle and ordered:

"Snowy Owl, go and give the Royal Scale Snake some finishing blows. I'm going to deal with that giant vortex monster!"

Yeats was surprised that Scylla was "converted" by Perun, but this was also a good thing. He didn't have to distract himself to deal with Scylla. Solving the last whirlpool monster was equivalent to officially passing the test set by Mammon!

"Is he really going to pass?" Mammon was a little distressed. "Although this is just a part of my consciousness, if it gets out that he is a familiar to humans, it will damage my prestige!"

Should I just run away while Ye Zhi is fighting with the whirlpool monster?
The black cat's eyes showed hesitation. He looked at the figure floating above the whirlpool in the waves. He turned back and smoothed his hair in confusion, thinking to himself:

"But I can't break the contract..."

"Only by following the spirit of the contract can we create greater wealth. We cannot abandon long-term considerations in pursuit of immediate interests..."

After struggling for a long time, Mammon finally made up his mind, raised his head and chest, and thought confidently:

"If he wins this time by luck, I'll be his familiar for a while - as long as I stay by his side, I'll always find a chance for me to win back!"

The giant whirlpool monster has its own consciousness. Sensing the critical situation, it splits into multiple whirlpools, creating a group of tornadoes, forming a natural disaster-like scene, and trapping Ye Zhi in the center of the tornado group.

The violent wind element and water element echo each other, and there are rumbling thunder that strikes from time to time, and if you are not careful, you will be seriously injured.

Fighting skills are ineffective against this kind of elemental creature, but the 'Moon River' is gathered from pure moon energy. With the blessing of the Moon River, even the emperor-level monsters cannot compete!

Ye Zhi shot three arrows in succession, and the condensed moonlight defeated the tornadoes. He then commanded the Snow Owl to bombard with arcane meteors to provide cover to ensure that his forward movement would not be interrupted by the vortex monster.

Immediately, Yeats summoned a stream of moonlight from his waist and threw it high into the sky. Instantly, the moonlight flowed in the clear sky, and this silver ribbon revealed the majestic divinity of the moonlight, which was still brilliant even in the daytime!

"Moon River... the Moonlight Sect's magical weapon..."

Chandler looked up and saw Ye Zhi taking out another rare treasure. His eyes were complicated:

"The Duke of Honeysuckle is indeed the chosen one by many gods!"

After becoming the Moonlight Chosen, the cooldown time of 'Blessing·Moon River' was greatly reduced, and its power was greatly improved, becoming Ye Zhi's strongest large-scale spell.

Sensing the almost boiling moonlight divinity, the whirlpool monster became agitated, spinning rapidly, stirring up the sea—

The water elements continued to gather, and the liquid formed a huge water element giant with a transparent body. It stood in the center of the vortex and roared like a tsunami towards Ye Zhi under the sky!

This giant of water element, formed by highly concentrated elements, has amazing destructive power. It can create a tsunami with a wave of its hand. Only a six-ring master who is proficient in both elemental magic and summoning magic can barely summon it!
But the whirlpool monster was naturally proficient in elemental magic and summoned another giant wind element.

Two elemental giants stood above the sea, their figures blocking out the sky and the sun. Their terrifying pressure made the sea boil, and their roars were as deafening as thunder!
Ye Zhi looked at him disdainfully and said, "Noisy."

He flipped his hand and pressed it down. The Moon River fell from the sky like a waterfall. The surging moonlight rushed down, forming an irrational energy torrent, destroying the order of the magic network here, and a large amount of disordered magic power continued to surge!

The sea witch Anfia was shocked:

"This... is this a spell that a Six-Ring Master can cast!?"

The power of the spell before her has exceeded Anfia's knowledge. Even a large city will be destroyed by this overwhelming blow!

Chandler also looked serious.

This is exactly the strength of the Moonlight Chosen One! In the entire church, there are only a handful of strong people who can compete with this Chosen One!

boom--

When the two elemental giants witnessed the waterfall of moonlight that covered the sky, they actually felt a trace of human hesitation!
The next moment, they raised their hands high, trying to lift the Moon Waterfall up, but they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and were directly submerged by the torrent of energy!

Boom! !

The Moon River descended from the sky, with a huge range, and hit the body of the giant vortex monster. The water elements that made up the giant vortex monster collapsed and disintegrated, followed by a violent water vapor explosion. The rumble shook the strait, the cliffs trembled, and the smoke produced by the explosion filled the entire coast!

Peren stood there blankly, a sharp tinnitus echoing in his ears, and he swallowed hard.

Fortunately, Scylla walked fast... otherwise, he would have walked like the Maelstrom, in an uneasy manner!

hum-

The battlefield fell into silence, with only the sound of waves crashing against the rocks.

Anfia and Chandler removed the shattered protective spell and looked up.

Under the blue sky, the young duke stood with his back to the rising sun, bathing in the sunset glow, holding a longbow. He looked like the incarnation of the god of light and could not be looked at directly.

The two couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He was able to fight against three emperor-level monsters alone and yet had such a perfect performance... Moonlight God's Chosen One is one of the strongest people in the world!

"It's actually... really... solved..." Anfia still looked incredulous.

Chandler smiled bitterly and said, "The contract between us is void. I should also consider how to apologize to him..."

Anfia had a bitter look on her face, but she forced a smile and said, "At least the threat to the Giant Rock Strait has been lifted, thanks to Duke Honeysuckle. In the future, I will have an explanation for my parents who were shipwrecked..."

Mammon walked up to Yeats with his head down, and said:

"Hey, let's sign the contract!"

Ye Zhi was just pulling back the Kayeborg that was inserted into the King Scale Snake when he heard the call. He glanced at the black cat and said:
"What contract? Didn't I already tell you that I won't work for you?"

This guy must have said that on purpose!
The black cat puffed up his cheeks and said unhappily: "I am the one serving you, not you serving me!"

Ye Zhi suddenly realized: "That is to say, the contract we are going to sign is that you will be my familiar, right?"

Mammon: “You’re asking even though you already know the answer!”

"Then let's talk about it when we get back to the mansion." Ye Zhi said bluntly, "I'm worried that you'll tamper with the contract, so I want to ask a professional to review it first!"

"Professional?" Mammon tilted his head in surprise.

……

In the mansion.

Gray put down the parchment and nodded, "There is no problem with the terms! It is indeed a familiar contract!"

Mammon squatted on the coffee table, wagging his tail, staring at Gray with dead eyes, thinking that the professional was actually a dragonborn? There are really some strange characters around him!

Ye Zhi picked up the parchment roll, looked at Gray, and asked curiously, "How come you also know about this kind of clauses?"

"I learned about demonology in Dragon Country," Gray said truthfully. "The Great Elder's collection not only includes books from the elves and dwarves, but also codes written in demon language. I studied it for a long time."

"Hell Code?" Mammon asked in surprise, "You actually learned this!"

Gray said proudly: "Even though I didn't understand it at the time, as long as I memorized it first, it will always come in handy!"

Yeats was amazed.

As expected of Grey’s amazing wisdom!

"The Code of Hell is divided into the Old Code and the New Code." Mammon said, "The New Code was compiled by the new Demon Lord Lucifer, and it was largely based on the New Testament. After he took office, the originally chaotic and disorderly atmosphere in Hell was rectified a lot."

Yeats: "Do you have laws in hell?"

Mammon rolled his eyes at Yeats: "With laws, there is order. With order, I can command tens of thousands of demons to willingly build a palace for me. Just like Lucifer said, if we only rely on the law of the jungle, how can we build a new hell?"

Ye Zhi: “…”

Lucifer has gone crazy and is talking about creating a new hell!

"Since there is no problem, let's sign the contract." Mammon said calmly, "I will try my best to tell you what you want to know, and I can also go to war when necessary... In short, I can do everything a familiar can do, including warming your bed."

Xilude said coldly: "That kind of thing is not necessary."

Ye Zhi nodded and said, "Indeed, a cat can't warm a bed. Wait until you change back to your original form!"

Hildes stared at Ye Zhi: "Can't I do that?"

Ye Zhi was stunned, then nodded. Gray next to him raised his hand and said, "I, I can do it too!"

Zuanya was cracking melon seeds beside him and nodded with satisfaction.

The God of Greed has joined the team, and now there’s something exciting to watch every day!
Mammon had already noticed this squirrel with a strange smell, but he didn't mention it.

In Mammon's opinion, this squirrel is very similar to the squirrel on the world tree, and it is very likely the famous "Ratatosk".

A squirrel could be Ratatosk, but a squirrel being Ratatosk is unlikely.

After all, it was an old monster that survived the old era. How could it voluntarily follow Ye Zhi?
Is it up to him to cook delicious food?
While Mammon was thinking, Yeats had already signed the contract and handed the parchment to Mammon. He watched the black cat stretch out its paw and press a handprint on the parchment, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Everyone should be hungry. I'll go cook the royal snake and then we'll have dinner!"

During this trip to the Giant Rock Strait, he not only obtained the Ring of Mammon, but also contracted a new familiar: Mammon.

Although this black cat is just a consciousness and does not have the powerful power of the original body to summon the "no return to city" field, the knowledge it contains can also provide great help to himself.

Even due to the restrictions of the familiar contract, if Yezhi wants to know the information about hell, Mammon must tell him the truth.

In addition, materials were harvested from the giant whirlpool monster and the sea-shaking emperor snake.

The [Pure Water Crystals] produced from the giant whirlpool monster are used to make potions, allowing Ye Zhi to master the spells of "ship control", "whirlpool" and "sea walking", which can greatly enhance the ability of naval combat.

The royal snake tastes delicious and can be used to nourish qi and blood and improve physical fitness. It is a rare food supplement for knights. Ye Zhi plans to divide it into several sections and braise it, steam it, and stew it in soup!
That night.

Yeats used royal snake as the main ingredient to prepare a "full snake feast".

It was the first time that Mammon tasted such delicious human food. His pupils dilated in amazement. He immediately buried his head in the rice bowl and ate with relish.

"How does it taste?" Yeats asked cheerfully.

"Very good, ten times better than the food I ate in hell!" Mammon praised.

"Hmm...Why does snake meat taste like fish?" Gray asked curiously while chewing.

"Because the oarfish itself is a bony fish, but scholars mistakenly thought it was a sea snake and gave it the wrong name." Ye Zhi said slowly, "I think it would be more appropriate to call it the oarfish."

Mammon was surprised and asked, "How do you know so much about Warcraft?"

Ye Zhi waved his hand and said, "I'm just more familiar with the ingredients in this world!"

Mammon was thoughtful, thinking, "Following him, I can taste such delicious food every day... well... being his servant is not a loss at all!"

Two days later.

The storm in the Great Rock Strait gradually subsided.

The story of the Duke of Honeysuckle saving the city was spread once again.

Chandler of the Knights Templar and the sea witch Amphia came to apologize and gave large sums of money as compensation. Yeats accepted the gifts from them because Chandler was a believer of Mammon and Amphia's starting point was to protect her homeland, which was similar to Grey's philosophy.

Peren was still very sorry about Scylla's departure, and for the past two days he often stared at the sea alone.

Yeats invited him to go to the capital of the Kingdom of Roland to change his mood.

"I'm going to the Roland capital, Paris Gia, to participate in the competition. The place has a strong artistic atmosphere and may be able to inspire you."

"Are there any dancing girls in Paris?" asked Perron.

“…There should be.”

Perron smiled and said, "Let's go together!"

Ye Zhi shook his head helplessly and walked slowly on the beach. Suddenly, his heart moved and he looked back.

But then a beautiful figure was seen floating on the sea, looking at Perron's back, and noticing Yeats, the figure nodded gracefully.

"Play one more song before you go, Perron," Yeats called.

"Of course!" Peren seemed to be unable to see the water nymph, so he sat on the ground, took out his harp and played slowly.

It was a sunny autumn day, and a black cat appeared behind Yeats, wagging its tail.

"I don't understand mortal love. I want to ask, is the constant pursuit of love a kind of greed?" Mammon looked at the figures of Perun and the water nymph.

"Not really." Yeats smiled, "Because great love is always selfless, I think."

Mammon glanced at Yeats and said nothing.
"In Roland's capital, there is another ritual vessel of the demon god that is related to gluttony. I will help you get it."

"Why?" Yeats asked.

That gift can make your cooking taste better... Mammon didn't say it directly, but shook his tail and said proudly:
"Because I'm greedy!"
