Chapter 9: Day 8I.

Night.

After taking a cold shower in the bathhouse, dragging his tired body after a day of training, holding the reserve leather armor full of sweat and smell, wearing a freshly changed clothes, he returned to his room and put the reserve leather armor on the table, which was directly turned over to Ye Qi, who was on the bed, and looked at the ceiling above his head that looked a little flickering under the light of the candle flame.

"Since I've persevered......"

Ye Qi, who clearly understood that his willpower had never been good, was obviously a little surprised that he was able to grit his teeth and persevere in the terrible amount of training in the past few days, until this time.

Swapped out of his own system, looking at the status bar, yesterday he increased his constitution attribute by 0.1 points. Ye Qi, who understood that this was his body that had not exercised for several years and was recovering, looked at the "treasure hunter" talent that appeared in the golden interface in front of him and had a 16-hour cooldown: "Tomorrow ......"

As for the zero-ring trick stored in the emerald brooch: the cleaning technique, Ye Qi didn't use it after trying it once.

It's not that the most basic spell isn't effective, it's just that it's too powerful.

After this spell, not to mention the underwear and leather armor on the body, they were directly renewed, and there was no trace of sweat and stains. It's your own body, and it's like taking a comfortable hot bath, okay!

And at the same time, it is so powerful, but it is also too attention-grabbing.

The next morning, I don't know if it's my biological clock, it's completely turned over, or the emerald green brooch that I wear on the chest of my underwear even if I sleep, and the effect of 0.3 attribute increases in mental attributes. At half past five, Ye Qi, who got up on time, glanced at the candle on the table that he had forgotten to blow out last night, and it had burned out, leaving only a lump of white wax and oil: "It's a new day." ”

Morning jogs, breakfast, swordsmanship training, business as usual.

At noon, Jim, who was eating breakfast in the cafeteria with Ye Qi, opened his mouth and asked the former at this time: "Brother Ye, I will go to the city with my father to replenish the ingredients later, do you want to go with us?" ”

Ye Qi, who just wanted to go out to hunt for treasures, just asked, "How long will it take?" ”

"It's about two hours, don't worry, it won't delay the afternoon training."

In the expectant gaze of Jim, who had short blond hair and a delicate face, Ye Qi, who nodded: "It's just right, I'm going out to do something too, let's go out together." ”

In this way, Ye Qi, who had had lunch, sat in a carriage driven by Jim's father, and swayed with Jim towards the city gate of Black Rock Fort in the direction of Bal City.

(I forgot to mention that Jim's father was the cook at Fort Black Rock who had been cooking for the Night's Watch for over twenty years.) )

When he met Captain Ford on the way, Ye Qi, who thought he would stop him from leaving Black Rock Fort, watched him nod to Jim's father, and then ignored himself and Jim sitting behind the carriage.

In this regard, Ye Qi couldn't help but think a little strangely in his heart: "Could it be that I have always misunderstood?" Even if they were bought by the Night's Watch from the Dorne nobles, the Night's Watch didn't actually restrict their freedom? ”

Well, I have to say that Captain Ford's reaction made Ye Qi fall into a full of doubts.

In this way, when driving into the aristocratic cemetery, the "treasure hunter" talent, which had already ended the cooldown more than an hour ago, reacted again, and once again used the excuse of his stomach trouble, Ye Qi, who left the sight of Jim's father and son, hurriedly ran towards the "resonance location".

However, soon, when looking at a complete tomb made of marble on the outside, Ye Qi, who felt the resonance in the tomb, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

He apparently didn't have any digging tools with him.

Even if he had brought excavation tools, it was obviously impossible for him to dig up the treasures in this aristocratic cemetery, which was tended by gardeners every day, right?

It's not moral, what constraints do it bring to Ye Qi.

In the past few days, Ye Qi, who has clearly realized the power of his "treasure hunter" talent, obviously will not give up the treasure that is almost within reach because of such a little moral constraint.

Rather, if you choose to dig a grave, without the help of modern machinery and tools, you can only have a hoe or shovel to dig up the marble grave with physical strength, which will inevitably make a loud noise and a certain amount of time.

When the time comes, the gardeners who were attracted by the sound of ding dong dong, Ye Qi was not afraid. However, what about the nobles who are being dug up by Ye Qi and standing in the powerful class?

Therefore, Ye Qi, who directly chose to give up this resonance point, took advantage of the fact that there was still some time to run to another resonance point.

Looking at the tomb in front of him that was more solemnly decorated than the previous one, and the materials of the main body of the tomb were even more elegant, he was speechless and complained: "You can do it~", he could only choose to turn around and return.

Although, before walking out of this aristocratic cemetery, three resonance points were found before and after.

However, Ye Qi, who was obviously powerless for the treasure of this aristocratic cemetery for the time being, directly chose to ignore it, and decided to go to the wild of Bal City while Jim's father and son were replenishing the ingredients.

However, soon, a new idea popped out of Ye Qi's mind: "Should I go back and see, after all, no matter what I say, it has been seven or eight days since I came out......"

As this thought came to his mind, he initially thought that the Night's Watch of Blackrock Fort would restrict their freedom after buying him from Baron Dorne for 42 gold Muton. Therefore, during these days, the desire to return to the original world, which had been suppressed in the depths of my heart, was out of control when I saw that the night watchmen did not restrict their freedom.

In the midst of the carriage passing through the crowd, he stood up and looked at the wall at the end of the view.

Although, knowing what he said next would make it difficult for Jim to come out with him.

However, compared to the desire to go home...... In the end, Ye Qi, who had made up his mind in his heart, said to Jim: "Jim, I want to go out of the city, and it will probably take ...... I'll be back tonight at the latest. Can you help me ask Captain Ford for a leave of absence? ”

"Huh? ……”

Obviously, Jim, who didn't expect Ye Qi to bring up this kind of thing at this time, couldn't help but look at the front by mistake for a while, although he heard Ye Qi's words, he still continued to catch a glance at his father.

Half a ring, after seeing that his father didn't say anything, and didn't turn around, he understood that his father was Jim who made his decision, and after secretly clenching his fists with both hands, he looked at Ye Qi, holding the last expectation, and asked, "Brother Ye, is there something very important?" ”

Ye Qi, who was not lying about this, just nodded: "Yes." ”

After receiving such a precise answer from Ye Qi, Jim, who was obviously struggling in his heart, finally spoke: "That...... Okay, but Brother Ye must come and go before nightfall. Winter is coming, and there will be some bad things in the wilderness where there is no order to shine in the fire. ”

In the past few days, Ye Qi, who had more or less learned some information about this, nodded his head, jumped out of the carriage, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.

And the moment Ye Qi jumped out of the carriage, it was the old Jim who tightened the reins in his hand and stopped the carriage.

"Child, you should know, Ye Qi, this kid, may never come back."

Jim, who obviously couldn't find any reason to deny what his father said, touched the tears that appeared in the corners of his eyes at some point, and with the help of racial talent, he kept looking at the back of Ye Qi, who was walking through the crowd in the distance and approaching the city gate in the distance: "I know, but Brother Ye doesn't belong here." ”

Apparently the old Jim, who saw the tears in the corners of his child's eyes, couldn't help but helplessly stretched out his calloused right hand and pressed it on Jim's head. ”

………………

On the other side, Ye Qi, who had already left the city at this time and was on the dirt road between the golden wheat fields, gave up his old problem again.

[Isn't it a bit unkind to do this yourself, let Jim, a minor, help him shoulder the responsibility......]

[Whatever, if there is no accident anyway, this time and again, it will only take a few hours at most. 】

In the middle of the sound, Ye Qi, who had been walking on this avenue for five or six minutes, raised his hand in front of his forehead and looked at both ends of the road where there were no pedestrians in front of him.

"Unlucky, why didn't you see a carriage? Just walk to the crystal of order, doesn't it take dark to get there? ”

I have to say that Ye Qi, who was muttering like this at this time, made a mistake.

At the beginning, he really didn't think about what to do if he couldn't catch a ride on the road.

However, fortunately, after waiting for him to walk on this road for about half an hour, he casually went to a stone the size of a keyboard in the field on the side, and found an earthy yellow, also marble-sized natural essence, an old man driving a horse came into Ye Qi's eyes.

After learning that this old man who was about to return to Qingshui Town with a cart of goods could be regarded as being in the same direction as his destination, Ye Qi, who couldn't help but shout luck, took a ride.
