Volume 4: The Bay Area Chapter 10 Changing Attitudes
Chapter 10 Changing Attitudes (Seeking All Kinds of Protection
Hessel, the tower master of the Tower of the Moonlit Night, had left with the giant man, but after the two left, Ye Qi sat on the hill and frowned—he had always believed in the ever-changing law of cause and reason; So when Hessel said that the higher-ups of the Demon Hunter Headquarters would not be targeting him in the future, he muttered in his heart.
He didn't believe that those high-level leaders of the Demon Hunter Headquarters would be so simple to forget it, but Hessel, as the tower master of the Tower of Moonlit Night, there was no need to joke with him about this kind of thing, and even gave many benefits - after the conversation with the other party just now, he not only became the tower protector of the Tower of Moonlit Night, but also upgraded from a starlight-level apostle to a moonlight-level apostle.
The black, silver-rimmed Apostle trench coat was given to him by Hessel himself, and touching the fabric that was completely different from the Starlight-level Apostle's trench coat, Ye Qi's doubts deepened - compared to the existence of the Tower Protector, who had no name and no actual power, the Moonlight-level Apostle was completely different.
If the Starlight-level Apostle is the backbone of the Demon Hunter Guild, then the Moonlight-level Apostle is a well-deserved high-end combat power; Although they are the same as the tower protectors, they all have empty titles and no actual rights, but the existence of moonlight-level apostles has a special meaning in itself - although the classification of apostles: starlight, moonlight, and solar three poles seems simple, but each level of them is no different from heaven and earth; Entering the moonlight from the stars requires a qualitative change in one's own ability, which most starlight-level apostles cannot do in their lifetime; Only those few who are gifted with great talent are likely to set foot in it; And if you reach the first level of the sun, there are even very few, only a handful
It is also because of the gap between the strength and the starlight-level apostles, as long as the apostles who have reached the moonlight level are willing, the Demon Hunter Guild will immediately let them take over all the major affairs of a district; And unlike the branch leader he served, he was the one in charge who instantly and completely controlled all the power of the Demon Hunter Guild in the entire region; It is comparable to the feudal officials, just like the principalities in the kingdom
Therefore, as long as Ye Qi is willing, he can completely control the Bay Area in an instant, and even use the resources of the Demon Hunter Guild Headquarters to exercise self-control, and he does not have to worry about being troubled by any orders from the headquarters at all; However, at this moment, Ye Qi's heart was not happy, only deep doubts.
There is no hate for no reason, and there is no love for no reason
The attitude of the Demon Hunter Headquarters towards him has changed so much, Ye Qi believes that there is definitely something in this that he doesn't know about It's a pity, in the Shak Demon Hunter Headquarters, even if he wants to find someone to find out the news, there will be no result at all.
"What? Are you shaken? And just as Ye Qi frowned and pondered, the strange wolf snorted in his heart: "Do you want to give up the original plan?" ”
"Shaken? I'm just just wondering what those high-level leaders of the Demon Hunter Headquarters are doing now and what's going on inside," Ye Qi replied with a sneer: "As for shaking? I don't want to be threatened again and have to make reluctant compromises; Whether it's a reward or a punishment, it's what the higher-ups decide to give, and I'm just passively accepting it."
"Everything is strength" Ye Qi slowly took off the windbreaker he was wearing on his body, and after putting on the windbreaker of the Yuehui-level apostle, he said in a firm tone: "Although the Yuehui-level is good, it is not enough......"
"How wise it is for me to finally sign a companionship contract with you" The strange wolf smiled strangely: "Ambition I like ambitious people"
"If you add hatred and the like, it will be even more perfect, so that you can continue to trade with you, and you will always have the upper hand until you are completely in control of everything at the end of the day......" Ye Qi had a clear mind about the strange wolf, and he showed a disdainful smile to the strange wolf in his heart: "Do you think it is possible?" Although I want to get strength, that's under the premise that I'm planning again, and if you get involved, I don't mind making changes in some places."
"Che is really an uncute stink"
The strange wolf pursed his lips and was silent again.
……
The patrol mission of the Ranger Captain is to cover the entire city of Shak, during which the eight Ranger Group Captains rotate for one week and every two months; Therefore it is impossible to see the female cavalry captain before dark; However, Ye Qi, who had already made an appointment with the female cavalry captain for dinner, would not be in a hurry to meet the moment, knowing that the night was very long. ,
Ye Qi returned to the ranger camp where the female cavalry captain was, and the rangers who had seen Ye Qi being pulled out by the giant man before, after seeing Ye Qi's black and silver-edged apostle windbreaker at this moment, they immediately closed their mouths in surprise - as a direct subordinate of the witcher headquarters, of course they understood what the windbreaker on Ye Qi's body represented, and these rangers looked at each other in disbelief, and their attitude towards Ye Qi became more and more respectful.
Ye Qi could certainly feel the changes in the rangers, but he didn't pay attention to it; After all, all they were in awe of was the dress he was wearing, and the Witcher headquarters behind it......
With a self-deprecating smile, Ye Qi walked to the stable in the camp according to the memory in his head.
Herod
In the loud neighing of the horse, a burst of exclamations sounded - a tall and sturdy black horse went straight past the groom, rushed out of the stable, and rushed to Ye Qi with joy in the surprised eyes of the people around him, shaking his head and snorting.
"Groening"
Ye Qi looked at the mount he hadn't seen for a year with a smile, stroking the other party's tall figure, the feeling that surged in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he turned over and sat on Groning's saddleless back; Glaning patted Groening on the neck, and immediately Groning, who was extremely spiritual, instantly sped towards the clearing in the distance outside the camp.
Even without a saddle, Ye Qi relied on his own strong skills to sit firmly on Groening's back; Feeling the wind blowing in his face, a trace of warmth rose in Ye Qi's heart - although the female cavalry commander did not say it explicitly, and there was no mention of anything about Groning in the letters exchanged, but judging from the current state of Groning, the female cavalry commander definitely took good care of Groning during this year, especially Groning's temper from time to time, you can imagine how much effort the female cavalry commander will spend.
Groening, who was carrying Ye Qi on his back, looked extremely excited, and ran straight from the open space near the Ranger camp to the vicinity of Shak's city before he stopped unfinished under Ye Qi's order - Ye Qi patted the slightly dissatisfied Groening, and scolded with a smile: "This is about to go to the downtown area, and you don't want to be humanely destroyed because you hit and hurt people, right?" ”
Groening snorted, his appearance full of disdain, and Ye Qi, who was amused again, chuckled; After combing Groning's mane again, Ye Qi led Groning straight into Xia Ke - dinner with the female cavalry captain, if the other party prepares, it will definitely make a romantic night into a quick, capable and full of "concise" style like a soldier resting on the battlefield......
Ye Qi didn't want the first dinner he and the female cavalry commander to meet in a year later in that "simple" style; Therefore, this dinner must be prepared by him; Of course, with the exception of some special preparations, other simple dishes still need to be prepared by the chefs in the camp.
After all, Ye Qi, who is very self-aware, also knows that his cooking skills are not enough to serve as the leader of this dinner; However, this did not prevent Ye Qi from enthusiastically selecting the ingredients and alcohol he needed for the evening, as well as the necessities.
After choosing a piece of smoked ham with good quality, Ye Qi paid happily and put the ham into the cloth pocket on Groning's back, which was also just bought; Just as Ye Qi was leading Groning and preparing to enter the next item for purchase, a familiar shout suddenly came from behind him.
"Leaf"
Carrying a horse chopping knife with a bag, the swordsman excitedly greeted Ye Qi not far away, and when he came to Ye Qi with two steps, he sighed at this coincidence: "I didn't expect you to come to Xia Ke to participate in this apostle competition, right?" ”
"We have another chance to fight and that Shak's Fist, I just need to go one step further to challenge her again......" The expression on the excited swordsman's face couldn't help but darken when he mentioned Enid, but it quickly returned to normal - Ye Qi couldn't help but sigh lightly as he looked at the swordsman talking to himself; The situation of the battle between the other party and Enid, he had already learned from the tall - a fiasco, a complete fiasco; The swordsman, who is quite famous in the Bay Area, was attacked by Enid with lightning-fast multiple attacks, and he was completely beaten to the ground, and he was directly unconscious.
Although Ye Qi was not at the scene at the time, Ye Qi could feel a thing or two about the miserable appearance of the swordsman at that time - after all, as an apostle, and a well-known apostle in the Bay Area, the swordsman also has his own pride; Especially after he woke up, he left a farewell letter that I went to practice, and disappeared without a trace, after Ye Qi returned to the bar to know the situation, he was very worried that he would collapse, and he also sent people to find out where the knife man went; However, nothing was found. ,
But when Ye Qi saw the current swordsman, he knew that he was completely worried in vain, not only did the other party not collapse, but obviously really cultivated the other party in front of him, and the momentum of the whole person was not only more condensed than before, but also much more powerful, obviously his strength had increased greatly
"I wish you success in your next challenge to Shak's Fist? Let's wait for you to go further" In the same tone as usual, Ye Qi looked at the swordsman playfully and pointed to the windbreaker on his body; When the swordsman followed Ye Qi's finger and saw the silver corner of the trench coat, he immediately exclaimed, "How could it be that you advanced so quickly?"
"How is it impossible that I have multiple abilities, and I have the qualifications to obtain the title of Moonlight-level Apostle" Ye Qi brought out Hessel's original words when he asked Hessel before-Because of the particularity of the apostle's multiple abilities, the Demon Hunter Headquarters has made a special plan for the promotion of the apostle with multiple abilities: the apostle who has awakened the four abilities will be automatically promoted from the starlight level to the moonlight level; Obviously, the swordsman also knew about this special case, but he was still a little incredulous: "Your awakened abilities are really over four?" Could it be that the rumors are true? ”
"Rumors are also based on certain facts," Ye Qi explained to the knife man, while taking a bottle of white wine from the East from the counter next to him and having dinner together, red wine is the best choice; But the cavalry captain had always stubbornly believed that red wine represented luxury, contrary to her knightly ways, and she did not like the astringent taste; Therefore, when eating with the female cavalry commander, Ye Qi will choose a more cold and hot liquor; Looking at the liquor in Ye Qi's hand, the swordsman's eyes suddenly lit up; However, before the swordsman could open his mouth, Ye Qi slapped his forehead and said, "By the way, Cyril you owe money to the bar, and the furniture that was broken during the last duel with Enid, is it ...... today?"
"Ye, you see the weather is so good today, I forgot, I still have an important thing to do, I'll go first......"
Looking at the swordsman who had fled, Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders with a smile and continued to pick out the remaining items - a rare dinner, he didn't want anyone to disturb him......
……
Blank twisted the flask and took a big sip of wine, reached out and wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth casually, and then squinted at Hessel After handing over a signed order to the herald on the side to send out the Tower of the Moonlit Night, he immediately couldn't help but shake his head: "I said old man, you're going to make that kid unhappy by doing this, I bet that guy is making out with that girl from Elsie right now, interrupted by your sudden appointment...... Hey hey ......"
"I don't want to, if I can," Sighing lightly, Hessel stood up, rubbed his eyes, and reached out to dim the lamp on the desk slightly to make the room less glaring: "After all, Pednange's connivance has made some people start to become unscrupulous......"
"Hmph, those guys should all be thrown into the sea forest to be used as experimental materials for dark wizards, and used as waste," Blanc snorted disdainfully when he heard the man Hessel mentioned; And for the initiator of all this, he also began to be dissatisfied: "What the hell is Peidnang thinking, that guy would promote such a group of moths, she can't really be completely controlled by hatred, right?" ”
"The contradictions between the Witcher Guild and the various Witcher families have existed since the birth of the Guild, and Pednange has done a good enough job and we shouldn't blame her" Hessel shook his head and denied his old friend's evaluation of Pednange, explaining his opinion: "In the past, it was only hidden behind countless lights, but after Pednange's deployment, these rotten things have appeared in front of us; Although there will be some inevitable sacrifices in the process, for the sake of the union's exhibition, I am very much in favor of Pedenanger's approach: instead of hiding behind the scenes, it is better to control them in the light."
"Control? I'm afraid it's just going to make more people rot together" Blank stuck the flask on his belt, put his hands under his head, and lay down on Hessel's bed leisurely, his voice intermittently coming out: "But I'll be relieved to leave it to you now......"
Looking at Blanc, who was snoring loudly, and Hessel, who wanted to continue talking, couldn't help but shake his head, sighed softly, and walked to the window to look through the window at the central castle under a lot of lights......
……
"What does that mean?" ,
Ye Qi, who was standing outside the tent of the female cavalry chief, stared at the herald in front of him who sent the news of the headquarters; The flashes of light in the depths of his eyes, as well as the extremely unkind tone, all showed Ye Qi's dissatisfaction at the moment - anyone who was suddenly interrupted by someone when he was getting better would not be in a good mood, especially when the other party brought an inexplicable appointment letter.
The letter of appointment sent from the headquarters was very simple, to the effect that the instructor of this class of probationary apostles, the cold-faced man, needed to rest for a month due to an accident, and in this month the headquarters decided to hire him to temporarily become the instructor of this class of probationary apostles; The signatory was Hessel.
"Did Lord Hessel make a mistake?" Ye Qi pointed to the appointment: "I don't have any teaching experience, and I'm not good at teaching others."
"This is the letter of appointment signed by His Excellency Hessel personally, there will be no mistake" The herald's tone was stiff, and it was simply the same virtue as the cold-faced man in Ye Qi's memory; However, unlike the cold-faced man, the herald in front of him was obviously really concerned about Ye Qi Yuehui's identity as an apostle; After a pause, feeling that he had already shown the majesty of the headquarters, the herald's tone immediately softened: "I'm sorry to disturb Your Excellency like this, if you have any suspicions, please go to the Tower of the Moonlit Night to ask Your Excellency Hessel."
Looking at the other party's distant back, the frowning Ye Qi didn't come back to his senses until the female cavalry in civilian clothes came out - handing the appointment letter in his hand to the female cavalry commander, Ye Qi shrugged helplessly: "It seems that the agreement to accompany you to patrol tomorrow is going to come to naught."
"The order of the headquarters is important, we can talk about it later" The female cavalry commander smiled nonchalantly, and then after looking at the time limit on the appointment letter, she immediately asked: "It will take a month, will this delay your participation in the apostle's competition?" ”
"No" Ye Qi shook his head—even if it was just under a pretense, but he still had a certain understanding of this apostolic contest and mastered most of the situation: "This apostolic contest started two days before the Midwinter Festival and ended on the day of the Midwinter Festival; And for these two days, all the probationary apostles will have all the holidays to watch the whole competition."
"Hmm" The female cavalry commander's voice suddenly lowered, as light as a mosquito's chirping: "I'll go and cheer you on when the time comes......"
