Chapter 61: The Light in the Darkness IX.
PS: Thanks to book friends: new hours, 200 tips.
Amid the sound of "crackling" firewood, a roasted whole sheep set up on a bonfire is exuding an enticing fragrance.
Lying on the bed in a room behind the church hall that should be where the clergy live, Ye Qi, who woke up, got out of bed and pushed open the door in this tempting fragrance.
Look outside the door with a basin of water, a wooden basin edge, and a set of towels. At this time, she was wearing a pair of deerskin boots on her feet, a set of brown leather pants on her lower body, a sleeveless bloated leather armor on her upper body, and her golden hair was still coiled behind her head, and she was dressed as a beautiful girl with lean eyes.
Even if he met an acquaintance, and at the same time, when he saw this girl named Vivian, Ye Qi, who understood that he and the others had obviously arrived at the Byron Territory and was in a round with the eldest princess, was greatly relieved in his heart, and said hello: "Long time no see, Vivian." ”
And when Ye Qi was in a coma before, he had been taking care of the former.
Only more than a month ago, after saying goodbye to the villa area in the south of Bal City, the girl who had a lot of things to say to the former in her heart, looked at the opposite sex in front of her, who had always brought her a sense of mystery, the scar on her face at this time, and the sword marks on the inlaid armor on her body.
I can't help but think of Vivien, who died on the way to this church with the lord's guard in order to protect her family and the people when darkness suddenly fell the day before yesterday, but finally changed her words: "Thank you for coming, Mr. Night's Watch." ”
"Don't mind, I'm just here to make soy sauce."
was obviously worried about the safety of Jonathan and the others, but he didn't see the insincere expression of the girl in front of him. At the same time, Ye Qi, who didn't know about Vivian's father, just asked, "That...... Those night watchmen who came with me? ”
"They're all in the church hall now......"
Under the leadership of Vivian, Ye Qi walked through the long dim corridor to the church hall decorated with a bonfire and dozens of candles, and it was by the bonfire in a corner of the church hall where hundreds of people gathered at this time that Jonathan and his party were found.
And after looking at the companion in front of him who found out that he was coming, he didn't greet himself, but walked directly to Ye Qi, who went forward.
For a while, Vivian, who felt an inexplicable annoyance, pursed her mouth in anger, held the basin holding the clear water, and walked to the other side of the prayer hall, beside her mother and family.
Ms. Byron, who obviously saw something from her woman's distressed expression, opened her mouth and asked softly, "Is that the child?" ”
As her daughter nodded under her own question.
It's not like the other members of the Byron family who are now in the church hall, because of the death of the head of the family, and their faces are more or less depressed, on the surface they are about thirty years old, and Vivien has a seven-point resemblance, and her figure looks unusually charming under a decent dress, at least on the surface, the noble lady who sees too much sadness is pulling her daughter, walking aside, and whispering.
And Ye Qi, who obviously didn't know that he had become the object of conversation between the two mothers and daughters in this church hall, greeted Jonathan and others, who were more or less wrapped in blood-stained gauze, and took the broth handed by a night watchman, and drank it clean with a sip.
Looking to the side, sitting in the middle of this church hall, there are rows of wooden and white-lacquered benches everywhere, and in front of him is a plate of roast lamb chops, and the cheeks bulge like a hamster and eat quickly.
Although, in my heart, I felt a little puzzled that the spirit of light, which was supposed to exist in elemental form, still needed to eat.
However, Ye Qi, who searched among the crowd and still didn't see the female mage, just opened his mouth and asked Jonathan on the side, "What about the female mage?" ”
Without waiting for Jonathan to answer Ye Qi's above questions, even though he was eating delicious food that he had never eaten, he obviously noticed Ye Qi's arrival of Duoduo, that is, he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth that was almost bigger than her stomach, and preemptively spoke: "Little Sophia has gone to meditate, Duoduo warns you, don't pay attention to little Sophia!" ”
The people around were stunned under the words of Duoduo above, and they all felt that this cautious light fairy must still be because he had questioned the efficacy of the light enchantment she released before, and Ye Qi, who was still hostile to himself, just opened his mouth and asked, "Huh?" That eye of yours saw that I was going to hit her? ”
Seeing Duoduo answer under such a question, he raised his greasy hands and pointed to his eyes.
For a while, Ye Qi, who didn't want to be the size of a palm, was afraid that it was also a goblin of light who was also not big in his mouth, and then argued about something, so he could only smile helplessly.
And with a girl with silver hair, who is not very beautiful, but looks very attractive, especially the pair of unusually bright purple eyes, people are afraid that they will never forget at first sight, and the female knight arrives.
Ye Qi, who found that the people around him all stood up and saluted, and realized that this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl should be the eldest princess of the Principality of Kasha, so he hurriedly stood up, followed the example of the other night watchmen beside him, and bowed slightly to pay respect.
"Thank you for coming, Mr. Night's Watch."
The eldest princess's voice was very soft, and it did not inevitably carry a trace of majesty because of her identity as Ye Qi imagined.
At the same time, the girl in front of him was exactly the same as Vivian's before, but more polite. Ye Qi, who knew nothing about the etiquette that civilians needed to pay attention to when facing the royal family in the Aya world, could only smile at this.
"According to Ophelia, Mr. Night's Watch has an alchemical crystal ball designed by the Alchemists of the Third Age, the Yadivar?"
Ye Qi, who understood that what the eldest princess was asking was the one who had to take out the magic crystal ball in front of everyone because of the large consumption of her own physical energy on the previous road, and released the magic missiles stored in the crystal ball to relieve the pressure on the shadow demons who continued to rush out of the darkness, and Ye Qi, who looked up at the magic robe worn by the former.
Ye Qi, who obviously understood something from it, took out the magic storage crystal ball that had consumed magic power from his savings space, and handed it directly to the silver-haired girl.
In the middle of the ring, in the strange eyes of the other people around, she took the magic crystal ball in Ye Qi's hand from the front of her, and in the hand of the female knight who turned around and handed it to her, she took the crystal ball that looked extremely dim on the surface at this time, and after a careful beating, the silver-haired girl did not mention Ye Qi's impolite behavior just now, but asked like this: "Mr. Night Watchman, if you allow it, I hope to exchange this alchemy crystal ball with you for 1200 gold Muton." ”
In the face of such a request from the silver-haired girl, due to the powerful power brought by the former's noble status, Ye Qi couldn't help but make a mistake at this time.
Although, this magic crystal ball that stored 20 magic missiles in it, he only spent 24 soul crystals on the order crystal.
On the one hand, it can also be equivalent to spending 240 gold Muton to redeem.
However, it is clear that with this magic crystal ball that can exert 20 long-range and not weak blows in battle, Ye Qi, who is equal to having an extra hole card that can be used at any time in the face of battles in various situations in the future, naturally fell into hesitation.
At the same time, although she saw Ye Qi's hesitation, the silver-haired girl, who was obviously very curious about the alchemy process of the previous era, made her last effort and compromised: "I know that alchemy products like the third era are already very rare. Why don't you, Mr. Night's Watch, lend it to me for three days? ”
During the period, he held back a glance without leaving a trace. In the distance, all of them stood up, more than a dozen of them were wearing white cloaks with gold trim, wearing fine armor, wearing knights' swords at their waists, and their strength was probably all of the bronze rank, and they were staring at their royal knights with cold eyes.
Ye Qi, who was staring at his female knight with a smile on his face, obviously didn't expect his noble status when he heard the above words of the silver-haired girl, and he really wanted to crush himself, maybe it was as simple as crushing an ant, and he would be so easy to see, so he just said: "Okay, it's yours, 1200 gold Muton." ”
Five minutes later, sitting by the campfire, I looked at the two secret gold coupons that I had taken from the female knight before, using the secret insignia as the security mark, and marked the secret magic gold coupons representing the "1000" and "200" amounts respectively. Thinking that with the continuous arrival of new people, Ye Qi, who tried his best to arrange a safest environment for them to grow up in the early stage, and also needed a lot of money, just muttered: "That's fine." ”
Jonathan, who was watching everything on the side, obviously misunderstood something by hearing Ye Qi's muttering, stepped forward and patted the former on the shoulder.
Under Jonathan's obvious abrupt behavior to Ye Qi, he looked up at the other four night watchmen around the bonfire at this time, all with black faces.
After half a ring, he realized that they obviously felt that they and others had good intentions to come to the rescue, but they were forced to buy by this threatening nature, and Ye Qi, who felt very angry, but because he didn't want to get into trouble with himself or the night watchmen for this, he just opened his mouth and persuaded him: "Actually, this is also very good, anyway, in the recent period, I just need money, and this 1200 gold Muton can be regarded as a solution to my urgent need." Besides, this kind of magic crystal ball that can only release the Zero Ring Spell: Magic Missile will not be of much use at critical moments. Even if it's a favor......"
In the eyes of Jonathan and others, the above paragraph of Ye Qi seems to be a comforting word, but it is actually true.
After all, only from the skill points, after obtaining the two skills of Wind Attack and Starlight, which are suitable for different combat intensities and high and low matching, when facing the elemental forms of creatures such as Shadow Demon, there is Ye Qi who can choose effective means of attack, to be honest, after thinking about it carefully, he really doesn't care much about the magic crystal ball that activates at most two at a time, and each magic missile can only provide 2 points of strike effect.
However, as this incident about the magic crystal ball came to an end, when he learned from Jonathan's mouth that he and the others would leave for Baal City in twelve hours, looking at the blood-stained bandages on the thirteen people who would definitely be present as the main force of the battle with the dozen or so royal knights on the way back to Baal City, Ye Qi couldn't help but ask with great confusion: "Isn't this church protected by the divine power of the goddess of the dawn, it is very safe." Can't we just go out in this wound? ”
"I can't."
During this period, from the time he came to this church hall, he was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and the other five priests, obviously praying to the gods he believed in, and at the same time, Adrian, who was also recovering his divine power, opened his eyes and explained: "The shadow power in this polar night enchantment brought by the shadow demons is constantly encroaching on the god-given power accumulated in the church in the past. We have thirteen to fourteen hours left at most! ”
"This ......"
Ye Qi, who didn't know that there was such a reason, just after thinking about it slightly, he asked, "Then there is no other way to destroy this polar night enchantment?" ”
"The only way is to use the Polar Night Enchantment as a carrier for the link between the main plane and the shadow plane: kill all the shadow demons!"
