Chapter 344: The Sorcerer's Hand IV.

Ye Qi chose the things that could be said calmly, and talked to the old wizard in as much detail as possible, and the old wizard was undoubtedly a qualified listener, without any interruptions during the period, but the focused look on his face also showed that he did not neglect the narrator, but really listened.

And the assistant walked in with some refreshments before Ye Qi began to speak, and then bowed to Ye Qi and retreatedβ€”Ye Qi easily found that his refreshments were completely different from those of the old wizard; Of course, the assistant did not mean to be rude, but on the contrary, the pastries with honey and cream were delicately touched on his side, and the milk tea in the teacup was also rich and fragrant.

The old wizard had two dry pieces, looking at the toast rusks without any sweetness, the yellowish color after repeated baking made Ye Qi confirm this very much, and that cup of tea was an unknown tea, looking at the two tea leaves floating under the soup, Ye Qi inexplicably felt a trace of sadness.

The old wizard was even more dissatisfied with his treatment, he looked at Ye Qi and complained softly: "See? That's what makes Verse unlovable, always so old-fashioned, like a clockwork robot carrying out the so-called doctor's orders...... Didn't he know that I was the best apothecary in the entire wizard's hand? ”

As he spoke, the old wizard casually reached out and grabbed the pastry on Ye Qi's plate.

Ye Qi asked in a speculative tone, "You can't eat sweets?" ”

The old wizard's grumbling tone stopped abruptly, and his movements froze completely, and he turned his head away. Don't look into Ye Qi's eyes. He replied, "How is that possible?" How could it be! I just have a sweet tooth a little more. Eating too much will be bad for your teeth! ”

Ye Qi looked at the old wizard with a wry smile, and he said helplessly: "Master Lendall, if you want to lie, I think you should try to keep your eyes on me; Instead of turning your head away as you are now...... And your voice is trembling! ”

The old wizard was stunned and muttered, "Really? ”

Ye Qi nodded and said, "I think so!" ”

The old wizard immediately cried and said, "All right. I'll admit that I'm not in good health and I'm not allowed to eat sweets or alcohol...... But I don't think my body is bad enough to ban all these delicacies, and it has been with me for two hundred years since I entered the transcendental, and without them, I feel that my life is meaningless, and I might as well die now! ”

Ye Qi looked at the old wizard in front of him, and he didn't know what to say. He had not yet gone over to comfort an old man who was about to reach the age of three hundred; Therefore, Ye Qi only tentatively said, "I don't think you should let down Your Excellency Verse...... Even if you're a sorcerer's best apothecary; I don't think it's about strength......"

All right. Ye Qi admitted that he couldn't even say anything like this, especially in the face of an old man's pleading gaze; Therefore, Ye Qi turned around and said, "I think let's go back to our previous topic...... And I can't see your every move right now! ”

The old wizard immediately said happily: "Your tolerance reminds me of your teacher...... You are all true gentlemen! ”

Next, in about twenty minutes, spent in the old wizard's tasting; And after the old wizard stopped completely, Ye Qi turned around and officially began his own story; This time the story lasted for about half an hour, and it ended when Ye Qi said that he had signed an agreement with the wolf king.

The old wizard nodded slightly, as if recalling everything Ye Qi had said, until a moment later, he said slowly: "A choice that is not the best, nor is it the worst; But in such a choice, I see your kindness, which deserves to be appreciated by all! ”

Ye Qi responded humbly: "Your praise will make me feel ashamed; After all, I was also selfish at that time! ”

The old wizard looked at Ye Qi and laughed: "This kind of selfishness will not obscure your brilliance, on the contrary, it will make you more understood...... We are not saints and cannot be truly selfless! ”

Ye Qi nodded in agreement: "That's something that even gods can't do!" ”

The strange wolf immediately shouted: "This is a slander against me...... I can be truly selfless in the face of true believers! ”

Ye Qi replied in his heart with disdain: "The believer itself is a product of paranoia!" ”

After that, ignoring the wolf's shouting, he continued to ask the old wizard, "Your body...... Well, I don't have any ill intentions, I just want to ask about that time; After all, if I had an accurate time, I think I'd have a much more complete plan! ”

The old wizard nodded understandingly, without the slightest fear of death, he smiled and said, "I still have about a year or so to go, if I ask myself harshly, another year is okay...... However, you have also seen that in that kind of life, it is better to die directly! ”

Ye Qi shook his head slowly: "If you can, it is more appropriate to live a little longer; Life is the most precious thing, isn't it? Don't you have a better way to treat it? Or aren't you thinking about transforming into a lich? I don't think it's difficult for you! ”

Although it is quite difficult for other wizards to transform into a lich, it is not difficult for this legendary powerhouse with a transcendent realm to transform into a lich, and even, if you say it seriously, it is simply a breeze; And for wizards, it is not difficult to accept to transform into a lich to continue life; According to the Lich account of Leslore, among the wizards, except for some extreme dark wizards, many wizards will choose to transform into lichs before the end of their lives and survive in a more special way.

The old wizard turned the staff in his hand and said with a smile on his face, "Of course, this is not a difficult thing for me; But. I have things that need to be done personally. And for that thing. I obviously can't turn into a lich...... However, the life expectancy of 300 years old has far exceeded that of ordinary people, and I am already very satisfied! ”

When the old wizard said this, there was no change in the fluctuations within the [Blind Fighting Perception], and it was obviously truly calm; For this practice of 'giving up his life', Ye Qi bowed slightly, showing his respect - although he still didn't know what kind of thing Lu Dao was, it didn't prevent him from doing so.

The old wizard immediately shook his hand: "You don't have to. I'm also a selfish ......."

Without waiting for the old wizard to finish speaking, Ye Qi smiled and repeated the other party's previous words: "This kind of selfishness will not obscure your brilliance, on the contrary, it will make you more understood...... We are not saints and cannot be truly selfless! ”

Such words immediately made the old wizard Ha Luha laugh, and Ye Qi also smiled, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two sides became more casual and friendly at this moment, as if they were real friends, although there was a lot of age difference, but in some aspects the two had a lot of the same views; Perhaps, as the strange wolf said, Ye Qi really looks like a wizard. For example, there are things like principles, bottom lines, opinions about friends and loved ones, and so on. Both of them are very similar.

And with such similarities, it is naturally easier to talk, and even the passage of time is imperceptible; Ye Qi sighed at the old wizard's erudition, and the old wizard admired Ye Qi's mastery in a certain item, if it wasn't for the assistant who came to remind him, the two of them would probably forget even the time for lunch.

The old wizard's assistant was happy to see the scene in front of him, but for the sake of the old wizard's health, he had to interrupt the conversation: "Lord Lendel, please take the potion on time...... Your Excellency Shak Dragon, what kind of lunch do you need, our chef here is not the best, but he has enough standards! ”

After reminding the old wizard, the assistant looked at Ye Qi with the woodwinds.

Facing the old wizard's eyes, Ye Qi said in a meeting: "I want a fruit salad, bacon with brown sugar, and there is creamy corn soup here?" If there's another herb steak that's enough, I think it's perfect...... Of course, if you don't mind, can you bring me another pot of milk tea? ”

After the assistant quickly wrote down Ye Qi's request, he bowed slightly and said, "Your request is my will!" ”

Watching the old wizard drink the potion, the assistant left at the same speed, and the old wizard couldn't wait to take the tea and drink it all, and kept complaining: "If I have time, I will definitely improve the taste of these potions...... It's like pouring water from smelly socks into the water of the barn! ”

Ye Qi looked at the old wizard with a wry smile and said, "Master Rundell, please don't describe such a taste in detail...... I think that's going to have too much of a direct impact on our upcoming luncheons; I think it's only fitting that we'll talk about some of the previous topics! ”

The old lich laughed, "Of course there is no problem with this...... My other guest, though, needs to breathe too; How about we move on to this after we've dealt with it? ”

Ye Qi smiled: "Obey your orders!" ”

After seeing Ye Qi's agreement, the old wizard immediately picked up his staff and knocked it slightly against the cobblestone ground, and after a crisp sound, the exit of the 'Moon Bridge', which had not disappeared not far away, contracted violently, and then emitted countless ripples, and the wolf king appeared in the courtyard in such ripples.

As soon as he appeared, the wolf king roared loudly: "Lendl, dare not fight me face to face, don't use such a trick......"

The wolf king's roar became inaudible with the wave of the old wizard's hand, and although the wolf king tried his best to grow his mouth and say something, it was still useless; Even the sonic attack became useless, and Ye Qi, who was vigilant on the other side, looked at the old wizard in surprise.

The old wizard said nonchalantly: "A little trick, but if you deal with it, it is very practical!" ”

Ye Qi nodded approvingly, and then said with a smile: "I finally know that this wolf king is worried about little tricks!" ”

The old wizard blinked innocently: "I'm an old and frail wizard, do you still want me to pick up the sword and fight it?" It's so embarrassing...... Though I did it when I was younger; That's right. Maybe after lunch. We can compare swordsmanship on the side! ”

Ye Qi certainly didn't take the old wizard's words seriously. However, he nodded in agreement with the old wizard, agreeing with the old wizard's statement.

The wolf king obviously wouldn't just give up, although he couldn't roar, but he was still performing 'pantomime' there, Ye Qi was sure that if it hadn't exhausted all his strength before, it would have pounced on the old wizard by now.

This silent roar continued until the wolf king was truly exhausted. This exhaustion is so utter that not only can it not stand up, but it is impossible to speak; At this time, the assistant returned to the courtyard again, and there were two dinner plates floating around his body, as if he couldn't see the Howling Moon Wolf King, and Fan Ersi directly placed all the food requested by Ye Qi on the table in front of him.

On the old wizard's side, it was as simple as Ye Qi expectedβ€”a plate of unknown wild herbs, and a slice of steaming bread; Whether it's wild vegetables or bread, of course. All with a strong, even pungent smell of medicine; Ye Qi could make out the smell of healing potions, antidotes, and some vitality potions. As for the rest, it is beyond Ye Qi's [Mysterious Knowledge (Mastery)] and [Alchemy (Mastery)] at the moment.

When his assistant left, the old wizard didn't wait for Ye Qi to speak, he directly scooped up a spoonful of creamy corn soup, and after drinking it, he sighed with satisfaction: "This is like returning to the world...... Maybe I should invite some old friends over for a while? ”

Ye Qi said persuadingly: "I think it's best to stop in moderation...... Nothing should be too much, not too little and not too much, and it is best to obtain an intermediate value of it! ”

The old wizard was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Your words always have a certain philosophy, I didn't expect that Old John's disciple would have such potential...... If I had seen you a few years ago, I would have made you my apprentice; It's a waste of your qualifications to follow Old John to be a witcher! ”

Ye Qi shrugged: "If there was no teacher, I would have died a long time ago!" ”

The old wizard immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know ......."

Ye Qi smiled and waved his hand: "There is no need to apologize for such a thing!" ”

Perhaps it was because of a slip of the tongue that made the old wizard a lot more cautious, and in the following moments, most of them talked about topics of interest to both parties; As a result, the lunch became very tasty, and although most of it was eaten by the old wizard, Ye Qi was still satisfied.

As the assistant said, the chefs here are really above the standard, and they are definitely not inferior to the cooks of the Noshide family.

After eating the last bit of cream, the old wizard leaned back in his chair with satisfaction, and he sighed: "Before, I didn't invite my old friend to come, I really made a mistake; Thereafter, every two months...... No, every month, I invite friends! ”

After a slight pause, the old wizard said straightforwardly, "I think it's better to send a message to Blank, after all, such a big thing is happening here!" ”

Ye Qi smiled and asked, "Is this the guest invited this month?" Remember, enough is enough! ”

The old wizard immediately spread his hands helplessly: "The guest invited this month, of course, is you, Blank's words as an alcoholic, it's just a representative!" ”

Ye Qi nodded and said, "This couldn't be better!" ”

When the assistant came to gesture, the old wizard conveyed this order, and the assistant immediately took the order, and after five minutes, it was all done.

The next thing is that everything becomes simpler, just wait quietly.

Of course, the Howling Moon Wolf King showed enough sincerity and regained his 'freedom' in another inquiry by the old wizard, but the cold appearance as if he was about to eat people was enough to show the most true thoughts in the wolf king's heart at this moment, but in the face of the old wizard, the wolf king was stubbornly patient.

Of course, some urging is inevitable.

The Howling Moon Wolf King asked Ye Qi, "When will our agreement be signed?" I don't want to stay here for a moment! ”

Ye Qi replied with a smile: "Soon, please wait a little longer; Or can you lean here and rest for a while? It won't really take you much time! ”

The Howling Moon Wolf King snorted coldly: "The delay is enough!" ”

Ye Qi smiled unchanged and said, "Maybe Master Rendell has a better suggestion, you can ask him!" ”

Immediately, the old wizard cooperated and looked at the Howling Moon Wolf King with malicious intentions, and after the wolf king's cold face twitched slightly, he stopped saying - when facing a truly oppressive opponent, the Howling Moon Wolf King would always show an attitude that was in line with his identity.

The law of the beast is also handy at some point!

Ye Qi thought so.
