Chapter 55: The Dinner Party II

Purposeful gaze and purposeless speculation will inevitably lead to two different outcomes!

The former is just like the 'Finger' dressed up by Ye Qi at this moment because of the relationship between the Mind Snatcher and the Brain of the Mind Snatcher, which everyone knows and takes for granted, so when the old wizard came to talk to Ye Qi before, everyone present would not be surprised, and even thought that it was inevitable, and it would be strange if he did not appear.

And if the big man came recklessly like this, the result would be different!

Wizards need the Mind Flayer's brain marrow to refine special potions, items, and equipment; What are you here for as a witcher? And when the two sides have just known each other for no more than a few hours, such a move will inevitably attract many speculations; Especially some people with a heart will inevitably think of Ye Qi's body that does not appear in people's sight.

Therefore, Ye Qicai deliberately instructed the big man when the two sides 'got acquainted again' in front of the dense forest before, and did not allow his female disciples to come with him - compared to the stability of his friends, Ye Qi could not guarantee that his female disciples would not show their flaws because of excitement and be seen by others; In order to be careful, Ye Qi could only say sorry to his female disciple.

"Amazing food, and the rest of my trip!"

With the attitude of 'Finger', Ye Qi answered his friend's question, and in a place where others could not notice, Ye Qi gestured to his friend with a specific gesture that only a few people could know - although [Communication] can express his consciousness more clearly, but in such a situation where there are many people, especially if everyone is not an ordinary person. Gestures are undoubtedly more secure; After all. Among the powers of the apostles. Ye Qi could not guarantee that his [Communication] would not attract the attention of others.

"What's next? Don't you want to meet the Witcher Chapter in Lateenburg? ”

According to the meaning of Ye Qi's gesture, the big man asked very naturally.

"Of course it will! After all, it would be a few days before I left! Ye Qi smiled and agreed to his friend's invitation, and then continued: "Moreover, the wizard secret city is also very attractive to me! ”

"I'm sure the Witcher Chapter in Landenburgh will make you feel more comfortable!" The big man, as the acting branch leader of the Witchers of the Bay Area, introduced himself as if to every ordinary Witcher: "And. Aside from the wizards who were invited, we don't have a room here! If you don't mind, I can introduce you to a few that are not only cheap but also close to the Witcher's chapter! ”

As he spoke, the big man gestured to Ye Qi and named several hotels near the Devil Don't Weep, including the one that belonged to the chameleon's stronghold.

"Your Excellency Darlan, you have been of great help! My original plan was to go camping! ”

Ye Qi patted the bag that was on his lap, except for the travel bag containing the Enma Sword and the bronze broadsword. There are also essential items such as tents, folding shovels and oil lamps for travelers.

"Camping is not a good idea to be in the Bay Area. Without a special moisture-proof cloth, wake up in the morning to find rain inside your tent! The big man took one look at the items and immediately proposed, "There are quite a few of them in the branch; If you don't mind, you can come and pick it up! ”

"Definitely!"

Ye Qi nodded with a smile, and then made a gesture to the big man again - this gesture was a gesture for both parties to end the conversation and leave; Although the big man wanted to talk more to his friend, he knew his friend's intentions, so he had to stand up considering the implications.

"Lord Darlan!"

However, before the big man could leave, Little Doug's surprised voice came from the side; Behind the young man was the other's friend, but the weak witcher did not follow; Ye Qi glanced slightly, and saw the weak witcher who was surrounded by a group of wizards again not far away - obviously, these wizards had already made their own decision after a short discussion, and were ready to give the bid again; Bargaining is not something only businessmen can do, and neither are wizards; Only if both parties are at a very suitable price point can a transaction be completed.

"What are you and Lord Finger talking about?"

After placing the plate in his hand on the low coffee table in front of him, little Doug immediately asked; However, his friend, the young man from the Thousand Numa District, nodded to Ye Qi and the big man in a friendly manner, and began to bow his head and eat the food quickly - for the people of the Thousand Pond District, the topic on the table is not the point, the food is the point; Naturally, all the topics could be discussed after eating, and it was precisely because of this habit that when the businesswoman held a banquet in Sennuma Ward, the person in charge of the market who went to the market felt all kinds of unnatural.

"Your Excellency Darlan showed us a few nice inns and prepared some moisture-proof cloths for me to camp in the Bay Area!"

Little Doug nodded suddenly, and then suddenly looked a little surprised, and asked Ye Qi, "Your Excellency Finger, aren't you going to go back to Dude with me?" ”

"That's your first trial after becoming a witcher, and if I go to participate, I'll be judged to fail by Lord Stoffield!" Ye Qi immediately laughed when he heard the reluctance in Little Doug's words, and replied, "Moreover, this is the first time I have participated in the Wizarding Secret City, of course, I need to experience it in great detail; After all, this will become a very precious memory for me when I am old! ”

"It's the first time we've participated!" Little Doug muttered in a low voice, and then made a decision with a flick of his fist: "I'm going to spend the night visiting the Wizard's Secret City tonight, visiting all kinds of things I haven't seen before; Then until tomorrow at noon, we will go straight away! How about Xsol? ”

Little Doug turned his head to look at his friend, while the young man of Qiannuma District shrugged his shoulders casually, obviously for the young man of Qiannuma District, he didn't care about his friend's decision - for ordinary people, not sleeping all night would definitely have a considerable impact on their spirits. But for this outstanding young man in Chinuma Ward. In pursuit of a prey. Days of sleepless chasing are all the rage; Therefore, if you just haven't slept all night, there is no problem at all; What's more, the two of them took turns driving to Dude, and a short alternation on the way was enough to give him plenty of energy to hit the road again.

"Well, that's it!"

After seeing his friend nod, Little Doug immediately excitedly picked up a glass of champagne and motioned to his friend, Ye Qi, and the big man, although there were some other drinks in the dinner. But the young man who had been reminded by Stofe and Ye Qi understood that high alcohol was not good for him at the moment, even if it was a low-alcohol alcohol such as champagne, he was pardoned not to exceed one glass in a day.

In this regard, little Doug only thought about it for a moment and came up with the right choice; Therefore, after drinking the champagne in one more gulp, the young man picked up another cup full of orange juice, and after taking a sip to dilute the taste of alcohol in his mouth, the young man turned towards Ye Qi. With a slight hesitation, he asked, "Lord Finger, how is the training of witchers?" ”

"Did Herman tell you something?"

Ye Qi looked at the rare hesitation on the young man's face. Thinking of the appearance of the two young men and the weak demon hunter discussing together, there were immediately some speculations - it must have been blindly found by the kind of 'ancient method' witcher training that Herman said, right?

Before the age of freedom, before the Shak was a fixed territory, the witchers belonged to the category of travelers and wanderers, and were more inclined to the latter - not only to run around for food every day, but also to face all kinds of troubles; Because, at that time, the magistrate could not tell the difference between the witchers and the thieves and robbers who were mixed with the wanderers, and only some of the more famous demon hunters would be recognized everywhere, and the rest of the people needed to cover their faces even if they entered the city, taking advantage of the dark sky or simply avoiding the soldiers guarding the door.

And Ye Qi suspects that the reason why the current Apostle trench coat has a high collar and hood is also because some people are nostalgic for the life of the witcher at that time; Of course, if that's all there is to it, it's not much different from the way of life of the witchers now - sleeping on park benches and being often caught by the local police as a wanderer is not much different from back then; At most, the current police, under the command of the highest government, can also speak the law; It's not like the sheriff hundreds of years ago, who looted all your valuable things and couldn't wait to hang you at the entrance to town.

The Demon Hunters trained by the 'Ancient Method' are completely driven by actual combat to make the Demon Hunters grow - 'Every growth is accompanied by injury, and every injury is an unparalleled experience!' This is the core tenet of the 'Ancient Method' in training demon hunters, and in this core tenetym, every demon hunter is extremely fast and skilled, after all, the loser has already died.

Even, someone once said that even if you can't be a witcher, you are enough to be a qualified gladiator; After all, you were born from the methods of gladiator training - to this, Ye Qi did not refute it, because it was a fact; A frustrating and brutal truth!

Before the Age of Freedom, the concept of weapons was still limited to cold weapons such as swords, daggers, and spears, while long-range weapons were only bows and arrows. Although bows and arrows are subdivided into longbows, short bows, and horned bows, their power is difficult to penetrate the opponent's defenses unless they come into contact with the eyes or mouth of a dark creature.

The crossbow, though powerful enough to deal with a considerable number of targets, was not the favourite and acceptable to the witchers for its troublesome winding methods, as well as its complicated maintenance and initial price; Therefore, the original demon hunters used swords and daggers as their main weapons, and bows and arrows were only auxiliary existences, after all, at critical moments, the arrows that flew out were not necessarily more effective than the daggers that were thrown.

And when using weapons such as swords and daggers against the opponent's dark creatures, the difficulty can be imagined.

As for the shield?

Shields bring not only defense, but also a heavy burden, and a fast werewolf is enough to tear you in half the moment he knocks the shield in your hand into the air—'Remember, the shield is the prerogative of knights, and the horse's mobility makes them so qualified; And if you don't want to be a target, clench the sword in your hand and move me quickly! ’

This is when Ye Qi once described the 'ancient method' of training witchers in a book. a description of the shield; And because of that. Every witcher needs to be skilled. To be called a witcher, at the very least, he will not be thrown to the ground or knocked off his weapon the moment he fights a dark creature.

And the origin of the real 'even if you don't become a witcher, you are enough to be a qualified gladiator' is the way of fighting that every witcher accepts at the beginning of his training - when facing dark creatures, he cannot retreat, and once he retreats, he will fail and die; Of course. This is also gradual; Won't let a rookie go straight to challenge a vampire with a title; However, even so, death is inevitable; Especially in the medical conditions at that time, once the injury was too severe, then there was only one way to die.

It's like those gladiators who have won but are seriously wounded, who are thrown into cages by the owner of the arena to wait for death - the only difference is that one side is unbearable and will cry secretly, while the other side is ruthless. Count the benefits that the other party brings to you; However, the end result is that it will not change. It's still just death.

Of course, if you have a magical weapon, or even a holy weapon, or if you are simply an apostle yourself, that's a different matter; However, in the case of most ordinary witchers, the 'ancient method' training is the most effective method, although its casualties are just as high, and there are not a few who are lucky enough to survive compared to those who die of serious injuries, but have lifelong disabilities.

And this kind of 'ancient method' training method did not change until after entering the era of freedom, when the demon hunter had his own real territory - if it could be changed, it would make the hope of survival greater, and every demon hunter wanted such a change; After all, it is likely that among those who died after receiving the 'ancient method' training, their brothers and sisters are likely to be their brothers and sisters, and if they continue to train in the 'ancient method', their sons and daughters may die next.

Start with more systematic basic training, and wait until you have grown enough before you get into actual combat - it has helped a lot with the number of witchers born; At the very least, if it was trained in the 'ancient method', without the blessing of the system, Ye Qi thought that he would definitely die.

Obviously, the weak demon hunter just now took this 'ancient method' as a very formal method, told the young man in front of him, and even had some inducements-

"Yes, Lord Herman said, we want to complete the training starting with the hunting of ten blood slaves, and then we will complete the search for a ferocious spirit ...... alone."

Looking at the slightly apprehensive young man, Ye Qi couldn't help but chuckle in his heart; However, with a serious expression on his face, he pointed at the big man and said, "I'm just a halfway monk witcher, I don't know much about this, you should ask Lord Darlan!" ”

"Lord Darlan, is that so?"

"This is the original witcher, the way it was chosen! Because the living conditions were so bad that we didn't have any more options, the hungry creatures of darkness wouldn't wait for you to have enough time to train. It can be said that the critical moment accompanies you; At that time, every witcher ......"

Born in Shak, and his parents are both big men of witchers, he is no stranger to the things of the witcher's period; After all, when Darlan was very young, these were always the things that were indispensable in his pillow stories; Therefore, at this time, it is very organized and detailed to talk to the young people in front of you; And after hearing the big man's explanation, little Doug breathed a sigh of relief.

After the young man took another sip of orange juice, he patted his chest slightly and said, "I see; When I heard Herman's words, I thought I would be confronted with those legendary creatures as soon as I returned to Dude! Luckily, there's a buffer, and with training, I think I'll be able to handle those guys! ”

There were some young people who had no bottom in their hearts before, but at this time, they seemed to be full of confidence; The young man's friend, who was eating with his head down, raised his head, looked at his friend very seriously, and said, "I believe in you, you must be able to!" Because, I can do it! ”

"Xor, do you want us to compete again to see who becomes the real witcher first?"

Little Doug looked at his friend and suggested.

"Yes, I must be the one who wins!"

The young people of Sennuma District seem to be full of confidence.

"Not necessarily, I'm very confident in my talent, even if it's Xsol, you don't have to ......."

……

"They're going to make great witchers!"

The big man sitting on the side, looking at the two young and hot appearances, said with a unique honest smile.

"I don't doubt it!"

Ye Qi nodded affirmatively, and then, looking at the gradually thinning crowd in the hall, his eyes looked out of the hall door; After a moment, he turned back to the few people in front of him: "The Wizard Secret City is about to begin, I think we should stand up and go for a walk; Exercising after meals is very good for the body! ”
