Chapter XVI
"For this family, I have heard of it; After all, the words 'even if it is murder, as long as the real evidence is not caught, then the murderer is innocent and will be appreciated accordingly' is really impressive! Hearing the question of the Tower of Wisdom Lord, Ye Qi replied truthfully.
"So, you're in favor of Kutch doing this?"
When he asked this question, the eyes of the Lord of the Tower of Wisdom, which were comparable to the stars, became sharp in the gaze.
"As an outsider, I can't make an accurate judgment on such a thing, and I don't have any position to judge!" Facing the sharp gaze of the Tower Lord of Wisdom, Ye Qi still maintained due respect, and then said slowly: "However, I believe that Aunt Kuqi must have her reasons for doing this!" ”
"I believe that I can make everything so marginalized, should I say that you are worthy of being the disciple of that coward?" The gaze of the Tower Lord of Wisdom regained that purity, she looked at Ye Qi, and suddenly a smile appeared, and said: "With such a character, way of doing things, and the bloodline of the dragon, it seems that the rumors outside that you are the 'son' of that coward, it seems that it will not be groundless!" ”
"This, this ......"
The words of the Tower Master of Wisdom made Ye Qi stunned, and he didn't know how to answer at all; After a while, Ye Qi came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "The truth of this matter, I'm afraid it's not difficult for Lord Peidnange; After all, your eyes are called 'real eyes', and nothing can escape their gaze! ”
"So, please don't do anything like this again. Teasing me, a junior! ”
Ye Qi said that the most reluctant. I couldn't help but shrug my shoulders - in Ye Qi's opinion. Pednange's words were purely because of his teacher; "Since you can't find a teacher, it's okay to embarrass the little one" This kind of practice obviously didn't have any pressure on the Tower Master of Wisdom in front of him, and in fact, the other party had been doing it for quite some time since he first came to Shak. The other party has set up a lot of 'difficulties' for him.
Even, until this moment, Ye Qi also suspected that the previous 'easy passage' was also prepared for the 'embarrassment' at the moment - don't dare, for such an 'embarrassment', Ye Qi was mentally prepared after accepting the invitation of the cold-faced man; maybe it would be a little embarrassing, but in fact, it didn't hurt him; not to mention. And he also had the harvest in the other party's 'private library' as compensation.
If it weren't for some topics, his teachers and elders were implicated. For Ye Qi, there was no pressure.
"Known as the 'True Eye', you can see through the essence of anything! If I could really see through it, I wouldn't be living here alone! The Lord of the Tower of Wisdom stroked the bangs in front of his forehead, stretched out a slender, white index finger, nodded the mark on his forehead like flowing water, and sighed softly: "Even if it gives me such a magical and powerful force, I still can't see through people's hearts!" It was the most complex existence in the world, and even the former gods and demons had fallen under such an existence! ”
"What's more, it's not just people's hearts, but now there are three people, including you, your teacher, and that profiteer, and they all seem to be shrouded in a layer of fog in my sight, making it impossible for people to see clearly! What kind of secrets do you have? Speaking of this, the Tower Master of Wisdom looked straight at Ye Qi, and the feeling as if everything had been seen through appeared on Ye Qi's body again, and he held the Enma Knife on his waist a little crampedly - this was completely an instinctive reaction, and there was no desire to fight back; Moreover, Ye Qi, who reacted in the next moment, immediately relaxed the palm of the hand holding the Enma Knife;
However, all this is naturally difficult to escape the eyes of the Tower Master of the Tower of Wisdom, who laughed softly: "It seems that the secret on your body is really extremely important to you; It's even so important that as long as it's mentioned, you'll subconsciously protect and fight back! ”
"Lord Pednange, it's just ......"
Ye Qi smiled bitterly and explained to the Tower Master of Wisdom on the opposite side again; However, just as he spoke, he was interrupted by the other party; Although the Lord of the Tower of Wisdom still looked at him, he waved his hand lightly and said, "From the moment I saw you, I saw the fog on your body and felt curious; However, I didn't have the heart to explore further; Otherwise, do you think you might have stopped me at that time? ”
"Lord Pednange, that's right!"
Of course, Ye Qi had no objection to such a rhetorical question, and nodded straight - Ye Qi would not refute any facts; With the gap between the two sides at that time, the other party wanted to figure out everything, although its own natural ability could not be reached, but the oldest means still existed; For example: captivity, torture; Even with the help of the strange wolf, he could escape, and with the other party's style of acting, he had only one way to rebel against the demon hunter, and hide in a place where the demon hunter's strength could not penetrate and reach.
And such a thing, Ye Qi definitely does not want to face; After all, deep in his heart, Ye Qi was still quite proud of becoming a demon hunter; Especially when Old John is also a witcher, when Ye Qi learned about such a situation, he unconsciously took root in Ye Qi's heart.
Otherwise, without these, Ye Qi would have already chosen the 'help' of the strange wolf and began to 'ascend to the sky in one step' - his bottom line is determined by the people or things he comes into contact with; Obviously, Ye Qi's bottom line contains a certain tradition of witchers; Maybe ordinary people seem a little rigid at this moment, but for Ye Qi, who has a secret that he can't tell, it is very suitable.
"Everyone has a little secret, maybe mine is a little more than the others!"
Ye Qi said very seriously under the gaze of the Lord of the Tower of Wisdom - since the other party said the words that would not probe his secrets, according to the other party's code of conduct. This will become a fact; And for Ye Qi, who has been worried about being seen by the other party. It's a great piece of good news; He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Even speaking with a hint of ease.
"Everyone's secrets will naturally be respected by others, but there must be a premise......" The Lord of the Tower of Wisdom nodded, obviously agreeing with Ye Qi's statement; However, in the next moment, the tower master frowned slightly and continued: "That is not to affect the safety of others!" ”
"The fog that shrouds you is not like your teachers and profiteers, who have created it with special means; It's something that's innate, something that comes from the depths of the soul. It is hazy than the previous one in my field of vision; There is even a feeling so strong that no being can touch it! ”
"My instincts tell me that anything that tries to touch it won't end well! Especially this meeting, compared to the last time, this time it is undoubtedly more intense, and there is a more unique atmosphere......"
"Ye Qi, you have already stepped into the realm of legends, right?"
"Yes!"
The abrupt question, Ye Qi's instinct should be the way; And after receiving such an answer, the tower master of the Tower of Wisdom nodded slightly and said, "Everyone who has stepped into the realm of legends. will be free from the shackles of mortals and enter a new world. The legends of the past will be demonstrated one by one in his eyes; Of course, this is just ordinary humans; And you hybrids with special bloodlines are naturally different! ”
"Your teacher, after entering the realm of legends, also has a unique aura on his body that is very similar to you at this moment, very powerful, scorching, and full of the unique majesty of the dragon clan; Moreover, your teacher didn't 'create' the fog at the time, so I could clearly see a huge golden dragon flying in a warm mountain range! ”
"And the consequence of that 'true sight' was that both of my eyes would be blind for the next hour! After seeing such a situation, your teacher became angry with me for the first time; And I also think that I have done nothing wrong and started to go toe-to-toe with your teacher! It was because of that cold war that your teacher and I finally chose to separate after a month, ready to calm down! ”
"Then he began his journey throughout Lorant, and I stayed in Shak's Tower of Wisdom to be taught by the former Lord of the Tower of Wisdom and began to learn beyond the original knowledge of the Holy See!"
"Are you from the Holy See?"
The Lord of the Tower of Wisdom had mentioned the Holy See before, which had already made Ye Qi have a guess, and the narrative at this moment made Ye Qi confirm his guess that the Lord of the Tower of Wisdom was born in the Holy See-for this speculation, although Ye Qi felt a little surprised, but he was not as surprised as he was when he learned that the profiteers were also from the Holy See; After all, the image of a profiteer really has nothing to do with any existence in the Holy See.
But the tower master of wisdom in front of him is different, that kind of cold, but full of wisdom, completely in line with everything a clergyman, if you have a little more smile, it is definitely the best choice for a clergyman.
"Before I became the Lord of the Tower of Wisdom, I was always regarded as a holy woman of the Holy See!"
"Saint, saint?!"
Ye Qi was not surprised before, but at this moment, his eyes widened, full of disbelief - although the Lord of the Tower of Wisdom in front of him met all the requirements of the clergy, he did not expect that it was the so-called 'holy woman' of the Holy See, and at this moment, Ye Qi finally figured out where the 'blasphemy of the clergy' in the 'crimes' listed by the Holy See for his teacher came from.
The Holy Maiden and the Holy Son, the maiden who serves the gods with a pure body, has a perfect countenance, a shining wisdom, and is favored by the gods—this is the description of the Holy Maiden and the Holy Son in the "Divine Sayings"; In fact, it is a kind of existence with an identity like a cardinal, a presiding judge, and the like; Moreover, in the era when the director of the inquisition did not cover the sky with one hand, the saint and son with such an identity and status were naturally extraordinary.
"Yes, my 'defection' at that time made the entire Holy See very angry, and directly sent a special operation team to start chasing and killing your teacher!" As if admiring Ye Qi's surprised expression very much, the current Tower of Wisdom Lord, the former Holy Maiden, smiled for the first time.
"Such a result would bring shame on the whole Holy See; It's natural to hunt down! So the old Ward, who was also born in the Holy See, also defected? Ye Qi sighed lightly. Then he continued—obviously. The Lord of the Tower of Wisdom is the one who participated in the events experienced by his teacher. Naturally, it is to know that some things do not exist in the record at all; And Ye Qi, who is curious about this, naturally will not miss such an opportunity.
"Old Ward, that guy? Of course not! When the Lord of the Tower of Wisdom mentioned a profiteer from the same background as himself, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "How could a person who was educated like a piece of wood in the Holy See voluntarily choose to defect? He just joined your teacher's hunting team, and then, the hunt was used as a scapegoat! If it weren't for your teacher to save him, I'm afraid he would have been executed a long time ago, and there would not even be a corpse left! ”
"Your teacher, profiteer. Known as legends, the battle on the sacred mountain was the beginning of the legends of the two of them, and they were regarded as idols by countless witchers, and even other powerful people also called your teacher the sword master of Lorante! But do you know what the price of this is? ”
"It's war!"
Ye Qi, who naturally knew what was going on behind the Dao, immediately frowned and sighed - since his teacher rescued the profiteers on the sacred mountain, the angry Holy See has launched a war desperately; Although it was said. The war broke out because of the death of the Lord of the Six Towers, the former Lord of the Tower of Wisdom; But Ye Qi is well aware of the inducement. It's still on my own teacher.
And in that war, the director of the Inquisition, who had always been an ordinary and obscure one, officially stepped onto the big stage of the Holy See; Of course, at that time, the head of the Inquisition was still an extremely embarrassing position as a priest who was higher than the priest with a sword, but significantly lower than the presiding judge.
The final result of the war was inconclusive—after spending considerable manpower, material resources, and resources, the two sides once again chose to retreat in the necessary peace talks; After all, no one knew at the time that even if the Holy See would win the most difficult victory, it would only be a disastrous victory.
Although the last was peace talks, the trauma of the war is unforgettable; The father of the female cavalry captain, Jacob's voice, and even more of Yech's unknown witchers and rangers all died in that war; Therefore, when it comes to that war, Ye Qi's face is visibly gloomy.
"That's right, it's war! As someone who had experienced that war and had assisted Gesg for a long time afterward, I knew very well the damage that war had on the demon hunters; The Rangers lost almost half of their elite, and the Apostle-level Demon Hunters lost more than 1,200 killed; As for the average Demon Hunter, the number of deaths is even the same as that of the Rangers......"
"As the interim head of the Witcher's headquarters, I make up for the losses suffered by the Witcher in my own way; Because, I think I was also one of the reasons why this war happened back then; However, the best I tried to make up for it was to restore the Witcher Guild to a slightly worse level than it had been; And it took me almost a decade! ”
"But at this moment, I see in you the dotted line of war again; Even with the cover of the fog, it can't be hidden, the dotted line of war that weaves the entire Demon Hunter Guild, your teachers, profiteers, and everyone together! ”
"Listen, Ye Qi, I'm not going to target you again because of my relationship with your teacher; But you also have to make sure that the war doesn't start because of you! ”
The voice of the tower master of the tower of wisdom became more and more severe, but Ye Qi on the side could only sigh helplessly in his heart - he knows his own affairs, if according to the strange wolf, war is inevitable, and it is a war far beyond the imagination of ordinary people; For such a war, Ye Qi is not sure at any time at this moment.
All he can do is do his best!
"That's what Master Pednange said about respecting the secrets of others, but not without affecting the safety of others, right?" Ye Qi asked himself and replied, "Don't worry, Lord Pednange, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not let the war start because of me!" ”
"Well, remember what you said today!"
The Tower Master of Wisdom stared at Ye Qi again for a moment, then shifted his gaze and looked out the window again; At this moment, the sunset outside the window has only a faint afterglow, and the rest is swallowed by darkness, and without the red light of the sunset, the tower master of wisdom does not have any eclipsed feeling, but is more and more dazzling.
The long purple-black hair that exuded the original hazy color was comparable to the bright eyes of the stars, and even Ye Qi had to admire the peerless demeanor of the Tower Lord of Wisdom in front of him.
Being able to become such an existence as a saint is absolutely one in ten thousand!
With such an exclamation, Ye Qi saw the tower master of the Tower of Wisdom wave his hand gently, and immediately retreated towards the door - although the relationship between the two sides seemed to have eased at this moment, but in the face of the other party's eyes that could see through everything, Ye Qi, who hid many secrets, was naturally unwilling to stay for a long time.
"Beware of the person who negotiates this time, in my field of vision, he is not only cunning, but also full of malice!"
Just as Ye Qi was about to leave the city, the Lord of the Tower of Wisdom spoke again.
"Thank you, Lord Pednange for the reminder!"
After thanking him again, Ye Qi exited the study of the Tower of Wisdom.
