CHAPTER XXII

"Not should, but for sure!" Lyman looked at Ye Qi, who was not very sure, but he was very sure: "The traces left at the scene, according to the person in charge of the inspection, are exactly the same as the situation after your teacher appeared in the Sacred Mountain; It's just that that terrifying flame dragon breath has turned into acid! ”

Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on Lyman's face: "It is even more terrible than aqua regia, except for the holy weapon, there is nothing left; And even a little residue is enough to corrode and penetrate five inches of steel plate! Sure enough, the rumors that were called the strongest existence outside of the gods by the original people must have a corresponding basis! ”

Acid breath, copper dragon ......

The chaotic character, although inclined to kindness, but if you meet the proud young people of the Holy See......

Coupled with the information of Lyman at this moment, as well as the news obtained from several people's mouths, Ye Qi has completely determined the existence of the 'kindred' in the Desert of Death - of course, according to the other party's survival mode, it must be different from his teacher, not to mention his 'acquired synthesis' by the system; according to the memory of the Dragon Inheritance, this copper dragon is more in line with the 'tradition', and his teacher is full of 'rebellion'!

Unlike pure-blooded dragons, the half-blood dragon vein, although most of the time it will treat things in a 'traditional' way, but more often it is dominated by the side that is of human blood - and according to the style of his teacher, even among the half-blood dragon veins, it is quite different, if his teacher is banished, Ye Qi is not surprised at all.

But. This bronze dragon is different. Judging by the various 'traditional' patterns he exhibits. It's entirely possible that the other party is a pure-blooded dragon - perhaps able to transform into a human form, but it is a dragon at heart; It is not like a half-blood dragon vein, it is essentially in the form of a human being, and only in a special state can it become the form of a dragon; It may seem similar, but it is fundamentally different.

The former can be maintained in a fairly strong state all the time. The latter, if they want to maintain that considerable state, will have to pay some inevitable costs - both physical strength and energy are limited; The former, on the other hand, is not consumed at all, it is completely instinctively thirsty, and drinking water is as simple as that; Therefore, from a certain point of view, there is a certain gap between the hybrid dragon vein and the purebred dragon, and in fact, the same is true.

As the dragon vein of the time dragon, Ye Qi could clearly feel it. The dragon breath he used was not only difficult to control. And when facing different opponents, the degree of consumption will also be different - and in the memory of the Dragon Inheritance, the time dragon has a considerable understanding of time when it is a young dragon, and can borrow a period of time in the future; And so far, the dragon vein of the time dragon has only slightly mastered the control of the dragon's breath, and as for the ability to borrow time that is completely instinctive, he has not even touched the edge.

Therefore, Ye Qi did not deny the gap between the dragon vein and the giant dragon, but had a fairly clear understanding - therefore, when facing the red bronze dragon who might be a pure-blood, he did not rush to the Death Desert; Although in the memory of the Dragon Inheritance, the other party is quite kind, and he also has the same dragon bloodline, but the bloodlines of the same race and different species cannot make Ye Qi feel at ease; After all, the Bronze Dragon is also known for its chaos at some point.

He didn't want to be thrown into a puddle of mud by the other party as soon as he saw him, turned into stones, or comprehended those acids that were more terrifying than the king's water—in Ye Qi's plan, he would only look for the traces of this 'kindred' after he had completed everything at this stage and truly stepped into the legend, whether it was to ask some questions about the Lorrant Dragons or to form an alliance, the necessary strength was indispensable.

It's just that, judging from the current point of view, the Holy See's unintentional actions have undoubtedly changed his plan again-

"What are you going to do with the head of the Inquisition?"

After Lyman's words fell, Ye Qi asked directly-before changing his plan, Ye Qi must know the plan that may exist in the Holy See; After all, sufficient news is really necessary for Ye Qi, who habitually arranges plans in advance to prevent everything; What's more, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles, such hometown words are also familiar to Ye Qi.

"There are no obvious signs yet; However, according to the news from my secret son, the director of the inquisition is planning to cause trouble! Lyman shook his head before he unsure of the news: "Prepare to use other forces against your kind, this bronze dragon!" ”

"Is your source of news in Dude or Dobrown?" Ye Qi asked with a raised eyebrow, and such a question obviously surprised Lyman, he looked at Ye Qi in surprise and asked, "How do you know the Dao?" ”

"The Thoughts of Slaughter, the Hand of the Abyss, and the Lair of Terror, the top ten dark mercenary organizations in the dark mercenary world, recently held a secret meeting in Dude; Although I don't know the news of the Dao yet, as far as I know, there are already many well-known dark mercenaries or organizations that are going to Dude and Duobrown in the Xialin District one after another! ”

"On this premise, what could be more appropriate than Dude and Brown?" After Ye Qi asked Lyman rhetorically, he immediately sneered: "After all, the creed of mercenaries is Kimpton supremacy, whether it is an ordinary mercenary or a dark mercenary, they are all chasing that golden light!" What's more, at this moment, it's not just Kimpton, but there is also an even more sought-after reputation - the hero of the dragon slayer! ”

"Things like slaying dragons have been written into stories, biographies, and have been sung by troubadours, and every hero who can slay dragons has been regarded as a legend, and their deeds have become legends!"

"The huge body of the dragon that fell under the dragon slayer sword has become the capital of the dragon slayer to show off, the teeth and scale armor have become the new weapons in the hands of the dragon slayer, and the more precious blood and bone marrow have become the elixir that people are crazy to compete for! In addition, it is rumored that every dragon has unimaginable wealth, as long as it is properly spread under the protection of the copper dragon. There is a big treasure. Then these dark mercenaries and those organizations will swarm away like flies! ”

"I think the man sent by the head of the Inquisition. I don't mind advertising in such a direction! ”

Faced with Ye Qi's statement, Lyman nodded in agreement, and then, looking at Ye Qi, whose face was a little unswerving, asked, "You seem to be bored with those dragon slayers, is it because you have dragon blood?" ”

"Probably! Can you tell me about the situation in Hailin? ”

Ye Qi smiled casually, and didn't explain too much—after all, such an explanation would inevitably involve his hometown. There, in his homeland, people like him have a title called "Descendants of the Dragon"; Maybe the meaning is different, but whenever he hears the word dragon slaying, Ye Qi always has a trace of unswerving in his heart.

Looking at Ye Qi's casual expression, Lyman, who knew that Ye Qi didn't want to explain, immediately stopped asking-although the relationship between the two people in the alliance is not ordinary, they also clearly respect each other's privacy; After all, everyone has secrets. Isn't it?

"In the Hailin area, the kind that suddenly appeared mixed with the spells of the undead faction. and the existence of the characteristics of the constructed creatures, which is difficult to say; After all, such an existence is the first time I have seen it in my memory! Lyman explained to Ye Qi in as much detail as possible: "That kind of wound is very small, as if it was pierced with a needle, but that kind of force is absolutely powerful; It's as if the bullet of a bullet has been turned into a needle and shot out of a large pistol like the M500! ”

"Almost every wound is such a penetrating wound, even if it is a modified priest's uniform worn by a priest with a knife, it has no blocking effect, as if it were papier-mâché, inserted from the front chest, and then shot out of the back, and the heart in it is completely crushed!"

"Is there any blood or internal organs in the body that are being sucked?"

Hearing Lyman's description, Ye Qi's premonition that he was not good before the Dao was immediately confirmed; After a pause, Ye Qi asked again - as far as he knew and understood, the only one who could cause such a wound was his friend and companion; Moreover, it was even more coincidental that his friend and companion happened to be in the 'home' of the Hailin District, where he let the person who had caused all this be the nightmare of the night, and solve the problems in his current body.

"Only the first two bodies to be attacked showed signs of blood being sucked and entrails melted and devoured, and the rest were normal!" Lyman truthfully recounted the situation of his knowledge, and then looked at Ye Qi again: "So, everything that happened in Hailin also has something to do with you?" ”

Without asking the reason again, looking at Ye Qi who was by default, Lyman suddenly showed a bright smile, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and then said: "The Thousand Marshes District, the Death Desert, and the Hailin District, the trial ground where the Holy See's entire army was wiped out by the younger generation, all have something to do with you; I'm so lucky to be able to ally with you! ”

"I'm equally lucky to have an ally like you!"

Ye Qi returned the same smile - any strong fortress would be easy to break from within.

"Are you sure you will be promoted to the core of the Holy See within five years?"

Slightly retracting his smile, Ye Qi asked very seriously.

"Five years? It's a bit difficult! ”

Lyman thought seriously for a moment before replying.

"If you can be promoted to the core position of the Holy See within five years, then I will surprise you!"

Ye Qi, who couldn't directly say what he was talking about, could only express his meaning to Lyman in such a metaphorical way; And the latter is definitely not a stupid person, Ye Qi's words have just fallen, this punishment knight who is known as a model, his eyes lit up, his handsome, fascinated and screamed appearance of countless women, at this moment exuded joy from the inside out, even if there was no smile, he also revealed a light as dazzling as the sun.

"Well, I'll work hard for this surprise! Hopefully, when the time comes, don't let me down! ”

"This surprise will definitely make you feel like you are worth the money!"

This answer became the end of the conversation after the two met again - Lyman returned to his room along the wall again with vigorous skills, and after seeing Lyman leave, Ye Qi once again melted into the shadows and waited for his 'prey' to appear.

Still, it's clear. The presence that mingled with the black-clad deacon of the entourage. There was no intention of making a move on the first day of his arrival in Shak; Therefore. Until the sun first rose, there was no movement - and Ted, who came as promised in the second half of the night, looked at the rising sun, and the huge man couldn't help but say to Ye Qi, who was sitting cross-legged: "Ye, it's dawn!" The rat seems to be more patient than we thought! ”

"The more patient the opponent is, the more worthy of our attention will be!"

I opened my eyes again, and there was no malaise that I hadn't slept all night. Ye Qi, who was still in high spirits, stood up straight, glanced at the rising sun in the distance, and said, "Let's go, after breakfast, we still need to start working; Leave the daytime mission to those rangers, as long as they are in the central castle, they will not escape our surveillance! ”

"I actually need to work on Midsummer Eve, this is really the worst Midsummer Night I've had in the few years I've been here in Shak!" Walk beside Ye Qi. Ted complained of his own: "On Midsummer Eve, you should start drinking in the morning and drink until midnight." Then, go to the parade! This is the real Midsummer Night, not for a few people in the Holy See, who need to sit at the negotiating table during the day and keep vigil for them at night! ”

"Especially when I think about the next few days, or even the whole of Midsummer, I feel tired......"

"Wait!"

Ye Qi, who was walking side by side with Ted, listened to Ted's words, and immediately, his heart moved; Then, immediately shouted.

"What's wrong, Ye?"

Ted, who was moving forward, couldn't help but stop and looked at Ye Qi suspiciously.

"That sentence from before!"

Facing Ted, who was puzzled, Ye Qi said urgically.

"Fatigue?" Ted Road.

"A little ahead!" Ye Qi shook his head.

"Negotiate during the day, keep vigil at night?"

Ted, who thought about it for a moment, continued to ask.

"Well, there's a little bit ahead!"

Ye Qi nodded and urged again.

"Drink until midnight and then go to the parade?"

This time Ted thought for a moment before replying.

"That's right!" Ye Qi smiled slightly, and continued: "The work of the night watchman, we must do; However, it can be done more skillfully! ”

……

Eggs with a few toasts and a plate of bacon make up a simple breakfast, and when the cold-faced man joins, Monroe's specially prepared vegetable salad has just been served on the table - a slice of bacon and two slices of fresh vegetables, dipped in a little salad dressing, and swallowed in one bite; Ye Qi and the cold-faced man, who had long been accustomed to Ted's way of eating, did not say anything, and this way of eating also made the two of them feel a great increase in their appetite; Breakfast, which was full for six people, was swept away in a few minutes.

Therefore, when they arrived at a meeting room in the central castle that served as a room for this negotiation, the group did not arrive, although it was said to be a conference room for this negotiation, but on the whole this room was only a larger meeting room; The area of 100 square meters is not taken care of, and it is divided into two rooms, one large and one small, in the shape of a 'Lu', and in the larger room, there are some billiards used to pass the time in the middle of the room, and there are two tables on the side.

Of course, there are all kinds of books circulating in the market, and the two relatively large and comfortable sofas in front of the bookshelf against the wall are placed there - after saying hello to Ted and the cold-faced man, Ye Qi walked straight to the sofa, sat down, buried his body deeply, and closed his eyes.

Although, a night without rest is nothing to Ye Qi, however, when there is a chance to rest again, Ye Qi does not mind - don't complain that there is no time, it's just that you didn't seize the time; This sentence can be regarded as a wise quote for Ye Qi, who has been short of time recently; Moreover, Ye Qi is also learning how to make reasonable use of it and seize the time.

Ted and the cold-faced man stayed in the smaller room outside, talking in a low voice about the negotiations—last night, the cold-faced man who didn't show up didn't just go back to rest; Sorting out the information of this negotiation and formulating the corresponding negotiation plan are all in the hands of this cold-faced man; And the more than a dozen pages of information naturally showed the results of the cold-faced man's efforts overnight.

When the sun rose a little more, and the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock, there was a knock at the door—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

After a rhythmic knock on the door, Ted opened the door.

"Your Excellency Tkawicitch, Mr. Lehmann, morning!"

"Lord Ted, Lord Nofa, and Lord Ye Qi, morning!"

After Ted's greeting, the cardinal archbishop Tkavich replied directly, for Zola, who was deliberately ignored, although Zola himself instinctively wanted to be angry, but when he saw Ye Qi, who had already opened his eyes and stood up, his face changed for a moment, and then he became silent - obviously, yesterday's lesson was very impressive for the new cardinal.

And on the premise that Zola himself didn't speak, Tkavic naturally didn't say anything, and after smiling and signaling to Ye Qi again, he walked to the negotiation table next to him - and on this morning of rising sun, the negotiations between the witchers and the Holy See, I don't know how many times they could not be revealed to the world, began like this.
