Food Poems

Chapter 40: If you are not found, it is not illegal
A cold wind blew.

Yeats looked up and saw a snow leopard slowly walking out of the cave, standing on the high rock, overlooking him and his group.

The snow leopard has silver-white fur, a body covered with black spots, a long and fluffy tail, and majestic and deep eyes, like the guardian of the snowy land.

This ferocious beast occupies the top of the food chain in the snowy mountains, and there are almost no other beasts in the snowy areas that can compete with it.

For a moment, everyone felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, worried that the snow leopard would suddenly attack.

call--

Another black shadow with spots in the snow-white color flew over quickly and landed on Ye Zhi's arm.

The snowy owl squinted its eyes and looked at the uninvited guest in front of it, its proud temperament clearly revealed.

"Gu! (▽д▽)"

This is not the place for you!

Although it looks like a round-faced fat chicken, the snowy owl is a real bird of prey.

Like the snow leopard, which is also a strong creature at the top of the food chain in the snowfield, it was not afraid of the stage, but instead cast a sidelong glance.

It was not known whether the warning of the snowy owl had worked or the snow leopard had no intention of attacking. The smaller snow leopard stared at everyone deeply, then quickly left and disappeared into the mountains.

Ye Zhi rubbed his chin, feeling a little regretful. He had wanted to give it a try to see if he could use food to trick the snow leopard into signing a contract with him.

After all, Miss Lena mentioned that the snow leopard is a very suitable mount-type magical pet.

He just left like that without even giving me a chance to drug him!
"It's all thanks to you." Gray happily reached out and rubbed the owl's round head.

"Gu!" The Snowy Owl narrowed its eyes and made a low guttural sound, like a cat enjoying the caressing.

An owl is also a cat, and a snow leopard is also a cat.

Ye Zhi thought…if I could contract a snow leopard, it would be like having two cats at home!

"According to legend, the guardian beast of the goddess of winter is the snow leopard."

Hildre looked at the snow leopard going away and said, "I wonder if this snow leopard has any connection with the Winter Temple we are going to."

"If it is a guardian beast, why would it come here instead of staying in the temple?" Yeats said.

"Maybe it sensed the breath of the dark night, came over to investigate, and then found that the matter had been dealt with?" Gray speculated.

Ye Zhi looked at Gray in surprise.

Gray asked curiously, "Why are you so surprised?"

"Nothing." Ye Zhi said, "I just think that you can give such a reasonable analysis, which is really rare."

Gray: "(`A) Huh?"

I'm so angry. I'll eat more white rice tonight and let this lord pay more for food!
If this snow leopard is really the guardian beast of the goddess of winter, then wouldn't it have a lifespan of hundreds of years and a frighteningly high number of rings?

Ye Zhi thought, if that was the case, it would be better to find a snow leopard cub and raise it from scratch.

After all, it is easier to establish tacit understanding and trust with a magical pet that has been cultivated since childhood than with a magical pet of a high level in the contract.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhi glanced at Gray beside her, who had not yet grown into a powerful dragon slayer in the later stages of the game.

Well... the same goes for Dragonborn, they need to be cultivated from the early stages!

Return to the caravan and reunite with Lena.

Lena was very surprised when she learned that Ye Zhi and others had completed the bounty and even wiped out a hideout of the Dark Night Sect.

As agreed, Hildreth did not tell anyone about Yeats's astonishing performance at that time, but Lena had a sharp eye and still detected clues from the change in Hildreth's attitude.

"Master Ye Zhi must have played a huge role in the team, so the Iron Oath Guards would treat him with courtesy."

Lena thought to herself, "No matter how he did it, the Starlight Chamber of Commerce's strategy to befriend him couldn't be wrong!"

late at night.

The caravan camped on a leeward hillside. They had officially entered the Jueling Mountains. The temperature dropped sharply at night, and Yeats put on the sweater that Fucas gave him.

When Yeats saw this handmade sweater, he couldn't help but think of the scene of an elderly knight knitting, and felt a little emotional.

He is not only my savior, but also my housekeeper, and the only guard who escorted me to Morning Frost Ridge.

Phocas has sacrificed so much for me as a lord!

"Let him knit a woolen hat some other day." Yeats pinched his red ears with both hands and muttered, "It's so cold without a hat..."

The evening wind was howling, and Ye Zhi was sitting under a fir tree not far from the camp, feeling the blessing he had received from the Goddess of Darkness today, the poison blade.

[Blessing], unlike spells, does not require the use of magic power, but can be released with faith. However, when releasing blessings, it is often necessary to use media such as statues, marks of gods, and emblems of gods.

I have neither faith nor a medium, so what can I rely on to release the blessing?

Do I have to rely on the shadow power that entered my body when I received the blessing?

Ye Zhi recalled the sticky, cold and uncomfortable feeling in his body when he received the blessing, but it quickly dissipated when the panel prompt sounded.

"Could it be that... I only need a panel to release the blessing without a medium?"

Ye Zhi focused his attention on the palm of his left hand, and saw a green halo gradually emerging from his palm.

It really is! Ye Zhi suppressed his surprise, drew out the rapier with his right hand, and slowly pressed the green halo towards the sword.

In an instant, the blade of the Spirit Shield Sword emitted a deep green light, which was a blessing from the 'Poison Blade'!
Ye Zhi tried it a few more times and found that the green light of his left hand could only be used to poison weapons, but it was very convenient to be able to release it without a casting medium.

"According to this statement, I can release the blessings of multiple gods at the same time, and there will be no conflict between beliefs..." Ye Zhi removed the poison blade and had an epiphany.

I understand, faith in everything is false, only cheating is real!
"Gu! (`)"

Yeats looked up and saw a snowy owl perched on a treetop, meditating in the moonlight.

His snowy owl becomes full of energy at night and can even teach himself spells. His magical talent is so high that even the elf Blueberry is ashamed of it.

"The Snow Owl can also learn ice spells." Ye Zhi thought to himself, "I should be able to find some good frost spell scrolls during this trip to the Winter Temple. I can bring them back for it to study."

I definitely can’t understand it, but it’s OK as long as my magical pet can understand it!

"Ye Zhi, I was just looking for you." Gray's voice came from a distance, "What are you doing here?"

Yeats: "Watching the snowy owl during evening study."

Gray looked up at the Snowy Owl and said, "It looks like it's gathering magic power."

"Accumulate magic power?"

"Magic pets are different from humans. They can store magic power in their bodies. The more magic power they store, the sooner they will break through." Gray crossed her arms and said, "According to my intuition, it is not far from the second ring."

Ye Zhi: “…”

I haven't even reached the first ring yet, but my pet is almost at the second ring?

Well, the improvement of Snow Owl's strength is equal to the improvement of my strength...Ye Zhi glanced at Gray who was hesitant to speak: "Just say whatever you want to say."

Regarding today's events, Ye Zhi guessed that Grey must have many questions in her mind, but when it comes to the Food Spirit, she still has to be reserved.

"What I actually wanted to say is..."

Gray did not talk about the sacrifice, but talked about the villagers who were used as sacrifices.

"It is illegal for Morning Frost Ridge to accept people related to the Dark Night Sect without permission."

"According to the law, these people must first be handed over to the Arbitration Office for interrogation..." Gray paused, "But don't worry, first of all, the Arbitration Office does not have enough manpower and will not interfere in such trivial matters. More importantly-"

Gray raised her head and assured, "As long as we are not discovered, it is not illegal!"

Yeats: Σ(Д;)
Are you the lawless outlaw who is well versed in the law?
