Chapter Ninety-One
"This plan is crazy!"
After turning around in place twice, Jacob looked at Ye Qi, who was sitting on the sofa sipping milk tea, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"But if this plan is successful, it will also have considerable benefits for us!" Putting down the milk tea cup, Ye Qi replied with a smile: "And, judging from now, everything is going pretty well!" ”
"That's because the silly boy who agreed to your plan hasn't run into real trouble yet; Whether it was the internal scrutiny of the Devaro family, or the 'merit' he needed to stabilize his current position in the future, it was enough to make that stupid boy anxious! Jacob reiterated his opinion: "Moreover, the internal censorship of the Devaro family, I don't think he will be able to pass!" ”
"So, Uncle Jacob, shall we make a bet?"
Ye Qi suddenly changed his name, and his eyes squinted slightly at Jacob - in his own bar, although he had not changed back to his original attire, Ye Qi became bold for some titles.
"Bet?!"
Jacob looked at Ye Qi suspiciously, and a familiar feeling rose from the bottom of his heart—a feeling like when he had fooled his friend Felibe when he was a free laborer; It's just that this time it's a reversal of roles; But it was enough to make Jacob wary enough, and he asked with a little caution, "Bet on what?" ”
"Bet on whether the stupid boy you call can pass the internal scrutiny of the Devaro family, if it passes, I win, if it doesn't, you win. I won. You'll have to help that silly boy you call something 'feat', if you win. I'll tell you a relic that is definitely not inferior to the last time you excavated; As far as I know, that ruin is supposed to be a kingdom at the end of the Age of Chaos! ”
Ye Qi said with a smile.
"Hmm......"
Jacob's face changed and he groaned - with his knowledge of Ye Qi's character, this gamble was definitely not a 'free giveaway', but for a person who likes to dig ruins, what else could be more attractive to him by placing an unexcavated ruin in front of him? Even if you know that there will be pitfalls, sometimes it will not seem to be enough to be afraid of the person who is attracted.
This is not recklessness. It's the helplessness of being mastered with weakness - however, fortunately, Jacob still has considerable restraint against himself; After taking two deep breaths, his ever-changing face returned to normal again; Then, he shook his head firmly and said, "Don't bet!" ”
"Are you sure?!"
Ye Qi glanced at Jacob in surprise - in his opinion, Jacob should have hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"Because, I have a safer way, so why risk myself?" A sly smile appeared on Jacob's rare face, and after he coughed lightly twice, he said slowly, "Ye." As Els's adoptive father, I naturally hope that Elsie will have a happy family; Therefore. I've decided to come up with a few questions to test your abilities; First, find me the remnants of a kingdom at the end of the Age of Chaos in three days; Second ......"
"Wait, wait! Uncle Jacob, you're foul of the question! ”
Ye Qi grabbed Jacob, who was about to continue, and looked at the other party's smug look with a wry smile.
"Am I guilty of a foul? Isn't someone also a foul? Dig a pit and wait for me to jump down! ”
Jacob, who is also Ye Qi's elder, did not have the slightest shyness, but said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner.
"Okay, okay, I'll throw in the towel, count me in losing!"
Ye Qi made a gesture of surrender, and Jacob couldn't help but smile slightly when he looked at Ye Qi - this is a kind of victory smile after the 'confrontation' between the elders and the juniors, and then, he asked with a little curiosity: "That stupid boy can really pass the internal review of the Devaro family?" Although the level of his disguise and imitation is vivid, the secrets of the Devaro family's knowledge are not so easy to obtain! ”
Thinking of the disguised and imitated appearance of the thousand-faced monster he saw in the western suburbs manor the day before yesterday, even Jacob, the treasure witcher, couldn't help but admire; However, this admiration does not make Jacob give up other concerns - as a demon hunter who has been in contact with many families, he naturally understands the identification of his own family members by these families, and the unique method that only his own family knows the Tao.
Moreover, in the case of some special people, such as the heirs of the family, they have an additional set of techniques, or simply use magic as a method of identification—this is a method similar to the identification of souls, although the process is complex and costly, and even if you are not careful, it can cause permanent damage to the person, but the effect is undoubtedly significant; At the very least, this method of identification has not been wrong since its inception.
"If it were just Rhodes, of course it would have been discovered; But what would it be like if there was an extra guy who had been planning for twenty years? Ye Qi asked with a smile.
"You mean that Powell?!"
Jacob was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ye Qi - Ye Qi did not hide most of what happened in the western suburbs manor that day; After all, without Jacob's cooperation as the representative of the witcher at this time, some of his plans would not have been able to be implemented at all; What's more, the relationship between him and Jacob has long determined that he can say this level of planning.
After all, for Ye Qi, this plan is completely the kind of plan that has no loss if it fails, and once it succeeds, it is a plan with huge benefits.
"Well, it's this Mr. Powell; He had come into contact with our young master Valan twenty years ago, and by that time he had already done something to the young man and began to lay out; And Rod, who inherited everything from this Mr. Powell, naturally has no problem! ”
Regarding Powell's actions against the former heir of the Devaro family in advance, Ye Qi also learned from Rhodes's mouth afterwards that it was a kind of corruption using blood. to change the practice of the soul. Quite evil and weird. If anything goes wrong, the person who casts it will explode and die—of course, this spell is entirely what dark wizards are good at, and it was also the note that Powell got from Rod's parents; As for the identity of Rod's parents, through speculation about himself, Ye Qi was not surprised.
However, Ye Qi was surprised by the direction of Rod's parents' research, although he had only heard Rod mention it partially. But with the [Mysterious Knowledge] that had reached the level 35 proficiency level, he could still feel how bold the couple was at the beginning.
You must know that any existence involving the soul is a forbidden area for human beings; Even the most proficient witch walks cautiously, not daring to take a step beyond the thunder pool, for fear that one of them will be wiped out if he is not careful—but Rod's parents are carrying out one experiment after another regardless of it, and they have achieved considerable success; While this makes people admire, it will naturally make people feel that the other party is bold.
"So. Whether it's the so-called internal secrets of the Devaro family, or the identification of that kind of soul. For Rod at the moment, it's not a problem! Ye Qi replied very firmly.
"So, what do you want this young man to do for you? You must know that changes in the environment of the Dao can change a person's 'soul', especially after a young man faces various temptations, do you think that with the passage of time, his identity will change, and after he has everything in the Devarro family, this young man will continue to cooperate with you? ”
Jacob nodded at first, and then, full of kindness, reminded Ye Qi - for Jacob, as an elder, what he naturally has to do is to find the shortcomings in the plan for his juniors and remind them of their mistakes; And this is the obligation of the elders, especially his adoptive father, the female cavalry captain, who is even more reluctant to see his adoptive daughter cry because of the failure of a bastard.
Therefore, after admitting the feasibility of this plan, he naturally wanted to make up for Ye Qi, and even, at this moment, Jacob already had several cases in his heart - of course, as such a plan, it is definitely not above board, but for Jacob, it is not so important; Between his own juniors and a descendant of a dark wizard who has nothing to do with him, Jacob doesn't need anyone else to teach him.
However, to Jacob's surprise, hearing his admonition, Ye Qi directly showed a confident expression: "Of course I have thought about this situation, and I have already made a considerable defensive measure; With this defense in place, everything is fine! ”
Naturally, Ye Qi had thought of the same problem as Jacob, and even more carefully than Jacob; After all, for a descendant of a dark wizard, it would be naïve for you to be trustworthy to the other party; Even if the other party has always been very creditable, this is based on the fact that the other party needs to borrow your power to take revenge, and once this foundation disappears and there is a new environment, it is difficult for the other party to guarantee that it will not change - and this is absolutely intolerable to Ye Qi, so out of his own caution, he signed a contract with the other party.
After using one-fifth of the future earnings as a guarantee and intermediary, the strange wolf was very happy to provide such a contract, and acted as a notary - for one-fifth of the wealth of the Devaro family, the strange wolf who wanted to develop his own power could be said to be inevitable, you must know that in its current base camp, there is only an altar and a temple, especially the latter, and even the statue of the god has not been completed; It's not that there is not enough manpower, after the last time the cult members in the unexplored area of the Thousand Pond District joined in the face of the true god, the basic personnel of the entire temple have been prepared enough, but they still lack the necessary funds to improve it.
Therefore, when Ye Qi's other identity became an 'explosive household', words such as 'borrowing money' inevitably appeared in the daily chatter of the strange wolf - however, the strange wolf obviously underestimated Ye Qi's stinginess, no matter what the strange wolf said or how he tempted Ye Qi, he couldn't be moved; After making the strange wolf scold the 'iron rooster' and 'Grande', he could only return to the sealed place with helplessness.
Of course, the reason why Ye Qi can't move like this is also because of the strange wolf's 'empty glove white wolf' - whatever money you lend me now, it is all an investment, and when the temple really shows its glory, there will be a steady stream of Kimpton to drown you!
Ye Qi naturally does not doubt the accuracy of this sentence, but he will not be confused by it, and wants to obtain a steady stream of Kimpton. It must be possible after the temple shows its true splendour; For the current weird wolf. I don't know how long it will take to reach that day. It's a blank check.
That's why Ye Qi refused!
However, if it was a blank check in exchange for a blank check, Ye Qi didn't mind - although he believed in Rhodes. The ability of the sand fox, who used to be a monster with a thousand faces, but in the short term, it is obviously impossible for the other party to control the Devaro family; Moreover, according to Ye Qi's estimates, it will take at least about three years. When the other party's development is smooth, he can smoothly enter the management of the Devaro family, which means that at that time, he will be able to have real 'benefits'.
Three years is not a long time, but for Ye Qi at this time, it is definitely not short, and seriously speaking, it is also a kind of empty check - therefore, Ye Qi does not mind the intervention of the strange wolf.
Ye Qi believes that when the strange wolf intervenes, the relationship between him and Rhodes is unquestionably determined as master and servant. And with the character of a strange wolf, he will definitely strictly guard the other party's every move. Until it gets what it deserves—and in order to get what it deserves as soon as possible, the wolf doesn't mind offering his wisdom to his servant to speed things up.
And once this process is accelerated, the person who will ultimately benefit is still him; Therefore, Ye Qicai directly ordered the strange wolf to join in.
"Are you sure?"
Jacob asked again, slightly confused and incredulous.
"Of course! Uncle Jacob, wouldn't you mind telling me about our 'Master Valan' today? ”
Ye Qi smiled and nodded, and then staggered the topic - after the matter of the Western Suburbs Manor came to an end the day before yesterday, the 'protagonist' 'Valan' was escorted back to the Norsd family's manor by the demon hunters, and the shadow returned as the 'Valan' escort;
Even Ye Qi, the real protagonist, can only rely on Jacob's news to obtain the corresponding information - the witcher, the three representatives of the Supreme Government and the Holy See, as well as several masters of wizards, the old man Fletcher of the Norsd family is the one who can directly contact 'Valan' at this time, and anyone else who wants to get close needs to go through layers of entanglement.
And with Jacob as a microphone, Ye Qi naturally wouldn't join in such a lively scene.
"It's the same as yesterday, I wake up in the morning and exercise, read after breakfast, go to lunch, then take a nap and practice martial arts, vocal music, etc., until I go to sleep half an hour after dinner; Not affected by anything in the outside world, life is completely regular, and it doesn't look like a young man! ”
After giving such an evaluation, Jacob thought for a moment and continued: "However, such a regular and studious habit of life has made many people admire; The Bishop of Vallejo also told me today that this young man has the potential to become a committed Catholic! ”
"The people of the Devaro family will probably arrive tomorrow, and of course 'Valan' will have to establish a new look for himself!" Ye Qi chuckled: "A new look born from the original and based on this; It will not make people feel strange, but also make people feel relieved; After all, a character who has done such a big thing and is praised as a young hero naturally needs some changes; If it is set in stone, it will make people suspicious! ”
"And judging from what 'Valan' is doing now, he is doing very well, even that Bishop Vallejo is ready to 'pick peaches'!"
"Picking peaches? Don't just poison it! ”
Jacob snorted disdainfully, and then said in a low voice: "Today, the dark mercenaries belonging to several large organizations began to leave Landinburgh one after another!" ”
"If it's not good, of course they're leaving! If you don't leave here, you're just killing yourself! I don't believe that Chief of Staff Moretti would really give these dark mercenaries with bad intentions a polite smile! Ye Qi picked up the teacup again and took a sip before saying.
Compared to the Witcher's neutral attitude towards the dark mercenaries, whether it is the Supreme Government or the Holy See, most of the time they have a hostile attitude towards the dark mercenaries - for the former, the nominal ruler of Lorant, the existence of the dark mercenaries who cause riots for Kimpton's will is similar to a cancer; If you can eradicate one, you have to eradicate one, and you will definitely not be soft.
As for the Holy See?
As long as they do not believe in the existence of their god, they are enemies in their eyes - the most extreme are the Holy See, which has long forgotten the teachings of St. Paul, and is no longer the beloved existence of the world, even if they are still very popular among some ordinary people.
"That guy Moretti has already arranged a lot of means, these dark mercenaries, once they leave the protection range of the wizard secret city, they will definitely be ambushed!" Jacob, who had obviously gotten some news, immediately revealed to Ye Qi: "A legion close to Dude was mobilized as early as the robbery in the Wizard Secret City!" ”
"Oh!"
This time, Ye Qi looked up in surprise, and after looking at Jacob's affirmative look, Ye Qi couldn't help but tap the deputy on the sofa, and secretly thought in his heart-Is Mo Liti going to catch them all?
