Chapter 20: Undercurrents (2-in-1)

"For what?" Ye Qi, who was holding the phone, asked in an unkind tone: "The dignitaries of the supreme government have always been in charge of the secret service, when will it be our turn to intervene in the Demon Hunter Guild?" ”

"Because the other party has sent a request for help to our witcher headquarters, saying that an unknown dark creature threatens his personal safety!" The cold-faced man's tone was calm, and his voice recounted the whole thing steadily: "Although they have always been in charge of the secret service in high positions, the other party hopes that we can also help him!" ”

"Help? If he proposes, the Holy See will be happy to help him! Ye Qi asked sarcastically: "Or is it because the Holy See's asking price is too high that they found us?" ”

"Headquarters has agreed to the other party's request for help; Therefore, the headquarters asks you to protect the other party in all directions within fifteen days after they arrive in Landenburg and start taking over the government affairs! Without a trace of impatience, the cold-faced man reminded Ye Qi just like a curtain announcer: "And the other party has also sent a request for help to the Holy See, and the Holy See will also send someone to protect the other party, I hope you can cooperate happily!" I will upload the information to ...... right away."

"A-Class Mission: Protection; Protect Mark in fifteen days. Bass's personal safety ......"

After the cold-faced man interrupted the call, the system's task prompt rang immediately; Ye Qi was immediately stunned when he saw the hint of reaching the task level of A-, and then his brows furrowed - as his level increased, he found that the difficulty of the task also increased; For example, the E-level missions that could have been solved without fighting in the past will inevitably have battles now, and the strength of the opponent in the mission is comparable to that of the opponent in the previous D+-level mission; Therefore, now that he is facing an A-class mission, he will definitely have a stronger opponent than he will face three members of the Cain Guard......

A-level missions......

Ye Qi squinted his eyes slightly, his fingers tapped on the handle of the sofa and groaned - the power of the mayor of a city sent by the supreme government can be imagined, but according to his estimation, it is definitely impossible to trigger an A-class mission with the identity of the other party; Even if the other party is a member of one party, the identity of ordinary people is already destined to be limited by the other party, unless ......

The tapping of his fingers stopped abruptly, Ye Qi's slightly narrowed eyes flickered, and a word suddenly appeared in his mind - settle accounts after autumn!

He came to the Bay Area to serve as the branch president of the Bay Area Witcher Guild, mostly because he was forced by the high-level leaders at the headquarters, not out of his own volition at all; After all, no one knows better than him how delicate his position isβ€”after the fall of the Deco family because of him, countless prominent figures in the witcher's headquarters have fallen and been banished; After that, many of the new high-level leaders were implicated in these big shots; Even if the other party falls, their relationship is like a spider's web, and it is not clear whether it is connected horizontally and vertically, after all, marriage is the best means of enveloping in any era.

And the most important thing is that no matter whether the big man who fell before or the current high-level executive, he has no good impression of him, the "bane" that caused everything; Even if you are serious, disgust and hatred are what these people really feel about him; Therefore, if possible, he would only be a free witcher, not the current branch leader.

However, nothing could be predicted, because of the Holy See, he was forced to become the branch president of the Bay Area Witcher Guild; Although reluctant, he still tried his best to ensure that he fulfilled the duties that a branch president should complete; Of course, it's not that he is greedy for the position of branch president, but he doesn't want those high-ranking members of the Demon Hunter Guild to have an excuse to attack him.

But now it seems that even if he conscientiously completes the duties of the branch president, these high-level leaders will still not let him go easily; As the Deco family incident subsided, it was clear that these high-level officials had begun to give up waiting for him to make a mistake, and instead took the initiative; Protect Mark. The bass is the idea that the other party came up with, and according to the difficulty of the task prompted by the system, the other party is likely to spend a lot of money and is ready to put him to death at one time......

Hum! Let's see whose hand the deer dies!

With Ye Qi's cold snort, a murderous aura mixed with a faint dragon power came out of his body, filling the entire studio; The drawings placed on the workbench are windless and automatic, sizzling......

The demon hunters who were talking and laughing loudly on the second floor couldn't help but feel cold all over, as if they were in the ice and snow; Even the expressions on the faces of the three small men froze, and after glancing at each other, they immediately turned around and ran towards the third floor; In the entire second floor of the bar, Enid's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran to the bar and grabbed the big man who was running slowly. ,

"Say, is Ye Qi back?"

Enid's wrist was grabbed as if he was wearing steel shackles that made the big man dare not resist - after such a long time together, he already fully understood the strength and competitiveness of the other party; From the strength of the other party's grip on his wrist now, he can know how excited and determined the other party is; The big man knew very well that if he resisted at this time, there would be only one consequence, and that was to make the humanoid female tyrannosaurus in front of him completely excited, and challenge everyone present once.

However, as Ye Qi's companion, and the little man and Ava specially told him not to let the other party disturb Ye Qi during Ye Qi's rest time; Therefore, the big man was suddenly embarrassed, and looked at Enid, whose eyes were shining and his cheeks were flushed with excitement, and he muttered a lie: "That's ...... It's ...... Ava's newly found pet ...... That's right, Ava's newly found pet! ”

"Pets?" Obviously, the honest-looking big man is not good at making up lies, which is an extremely difficult skill for him, and after Enid swept the big man up and down, he asked with interest: "With such momentum, then the upstairs must be an adult white bear, right?" Or is it a forest python that is in the first stage? Or a pack of steppenwolves? Dallan, what the hell is it? ”

"This ...... This ......" The big man's forehead immediately saw sweat, and he was speechless: "Yes...... It's ......"

Seeing the embarrassment of the big man, Enid sneered, let go of the other party's wrist and walked towards the third floor; However, the staircase was blocked by a big man catching up.

"Get out of the way!" Enid raised his eyebrows and glared at the big man, although he was a little afraid of the female tyrannosaurus in front of him, the big man still stood at the top of the stairs: "Ye Qi is in a very bad spirit, he needs to rest!" ”

"You really won't let it? I'll count to three, and if you don't get out of the way, I'll throw you out of the way from the second floor!" One, two......" Looking at the big man in front of him with a trace of fear in his eyes, but he didn't back down, Enid couldn't help but snort softly: "Hmph, forget it this time!" I don't like to take advantage of people's danger and let Ye Qi quickly recover! I'm going to have a duel with him! ”

Looking at Enid, who turned to leave, the big man suddenly sat down at the top of the stairs like a deflated ball; The demon hunters who had been paying attention to the place not far away gave a thumbs up to the big man - they sincerely admired the big man who dared to face Enid; However, the actions of the demon hunters were soon silenced by Enid's loud roar, and their eyes did not squint.

……

"Are things really that bad?" The little man frowned and looked at Ye Qi, whose face was sinking like water, even if he vaguely felt that something was going to happen, he still felt frightened after hearing Ye Qi's guess: "Ye, what should we do now?" ”

"Complete the mission assigned by the Witcher's headquarters!" Ye Qi's silent words; Immediately caused Ava to exclaim: "Complete the task? ”

"Well, that's right! We can't compare with those high-level leaders at the headquarters now! Nodding Ye Qi's gaze looked at Ava, who was surprised, and slowly stood up: "Ava, you immediately gather your animal companions and take Mark. Bess surveyed his route into Landenburg; Don't let anyone suspicious go! ”

"Before our big man arrives, I'll need to find the help of a few allies!" Ye Qi picked up the windbreaker hanging behind the door, and gestured to Datong with a solemn face: "So, Datong, the bar will ask you again!" ”

"Well, leave it to me!" Datong nodded solemnly, but when he saw Ye Qi preparing to go downstairs, he hurriedly stopped Ye Qi, and he looked at Ye Qi's puzzled gaze with a wry smile: "That, Ye, it's better for you not to take the stairs......"

"For what?"

"Because ......"

……

the outskirts of Rangeenburg leading to Fate, where several manors are located; Fat, whose main industry is animal husbandry, has a large natural area of grasslands and hills, and even though Fat, with the support of the highest government, is vigorously developing, it is still unable to fill the entire natural pasture of Fat.

Ten years ago, when a big merchant in Landingburgh spent a modest amount of spare money to acquire a piece of land in the middle of Landing and Fate, and built a luxury estate; Immediately, the rich people of Landingburgh wanted to smell the blood of flies, and quickly gathered in this middle lot - the manor is a symbol of a person's wealth, and only this piece of land next to Landingburgh can better reflect the wealth of these rich people; After all, further into the area, there will be grazing cattle and sheep, and even if you build a farm in those places, you will be ridiculed as being in the company of cattle and sheep. ,

Let these rich people be talked about by others as being in the company of cattle and sheep? It's simply not possible; Therefore, the value of the lot between Landing Castle and Fateh rose rapidly, and with the help of the highest government, it was quickly sold out at a hundred times the original price; And the people who are able to live in this area are also recognized by the people of the Bay Area as the richest people in the whole area; Of course, the Norsds weren't one of them; Because the Northstead family, who own most of the land in the whole of Landingburgh, and even the estates that surround Landingburgh, need to look up, not the evaluation of the public......

Ye Qi, who was sitting in a taxi, leaned back in his seat and squinted, listening to the driver's endless narration of this prime location - he needed rest to recuperate, and realized how unwise it was to take the car of a taxi driver who could speak well; In the gushing of the taxi driver, he chose to pay and get out of the car immediately, even if he was not far from his destination.

As Ye Qi walked forward, getting closer and closer to the area of Fate, it was obvious that the land that the taxi had said was with cattle and sheep had appeared in front of him; Although it was the depths of winter, and no cattle and sheep appeared on the grass, the rows of neat fences had already told Ye Qi how spectacular it would be to wait until the spring flowers bloomed.

"Leaf!"

The gentle young man's shout came from inside the manor, and the snowflakes on his shoulders were evident that he had been waiting for a long time; Looking at Ye Qi who walked in front of him, the gentle young man bowed with a smile: "The leader is in the study, and he has been waiting for a long time!" ”

The only difference in the study room, which is the same as the last time we separated, is that the books in the study have obviously been carefully organized, and many new books have been added; When Ye Qi walked into the study, in the study full of the fragrance of new books and ink, the female leader of the blood glory was sitting behind the desk in civilian clothes holding a book of poetry and reading it carefully.

"You may be seated, Your Excellency Ye Qi!" The female leader put down the book in her hand, and the other half of her cheeks were not covered by bangs, and a charming smile appeared on her cheeks: "Your Excellency, is there anything you need our help with?" ”

"Hmm!" Facing the directness of the other party's leader, Ye Qi didn't want to hide his intentions, and said unusually directly: "I remember Teqi. Mr. Nophile is a member of the Nofele family, and this time I need Tezie. Nophie's family news help; And if your organization could help, I would be even more grateful; Of course, I will calculate the remuneration at 30% higher than your market price! ”

The Thirteen Vampire Clans of the Nophile Family, due to their ugly and twisted appearance, must live underground away from human society, and cannot hide in human society like other vampires. The bloodline of the Nophile family grows ugly day by day after being first embraced, and the bloodlines of the other clans reject these creatures who live in the sewers or catacombs, believing them to be annoying and not associating with them unless it is absolutely necessary.

Due to their ugliness and stigma, they try to avoid being spotted when they operate on the ground, which also makes them know more about the city's dark alleys and nooks than any other creature. Coupled with their mastery of stealth and eavesdropping, no one in the city escapes the eyes and ears of the Nophile family. Therefore, in order to grasp the intelligence of the entire Landinburgh and even the Bay Area, the Nofil family among the thirteen clans of the blood clan is the first choice.

As for the people with the glory of the bloodline, although the strength of the ordinary members is not eye-catching, but several high-level leaders have the strength of the star level at the bottom, Ye Qi is very optimistic; Especially the other party, the female leader he has never seen through, if he is pulled into this mission, it will become an indispensable help at the critical moment, increasing the chance of the successful completion of the task.

"Oh? Thirty percent increase? After hearing Ye Qi's words, the female leader laughed softly - the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and the black mole under her lips was even more charming, which made people can't help but have the idea of wanting to see the whole picture of the other party; Raising her slender and immature hands and propping them on her chin, the female leader's exposed eyes looked at Ye Qi without blinking, and stared: "Our mercenary fee is not cheap, if it is increased by thirty percent, it is indeed difficult for people to refuse; Can you tell me about the content of the mission, though? ”

"Of course!"

Ye Qi nodded.

……

The sun gradually converged its heat and light, and the cold air descended on Landenburg again; However, the blonde girl sitting in the box made the fireplace feel hot and stuffy. ,

"Miss Lilith, temperature...... It's warm enough...... Please stop! Wiping the sweat that kept overflowing from his forehead, the white-robed priest looked at the blonde girl who was still about to add dry firewood, and immediately got up to stop him: "Ye will be here soon, please wait patiently!" ”

"Really?" The blonde girl's expression seemed calm, but her tone concealed a resentment that even the white-robed priest could feel: "For a man who missed me for three hours, should I wait any longer?" Is he worth my wait? ”

"Of course it's worth it!" The white-robed priest nodded again and again: "Ye is definitely not a person who will miss an appointment, something unpredictable must have happened to him late; At this time, we should believe in Ye, not doubt ......"

……

"Let go of me!" Ye Qi looked at Jiuye Wuxiao, who had been dragging his windbreaker, with a hint of anger and helplessness in his voice: "My important appointment is because you are three hours late!" ”

"Since you're already three hours late, it's normal to be an hour late, right?" Nine Nights Without Nightmare dragged Ye Qi's windbreaker with one hand, and took out a fifty-milliliter thick test tube with the other: "Just drop your saliva into the test tube; Remember to drip full! ”

"It's just a simple monitoring, you don't need to be full, right?"

The corners of Ye Qi's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the test tube in his hand, and threw it back; And taking advantage of the moment when the other party caught the test tube and let go of his windbreaker, he quickly jumped out of the window.

"Bastard, Ye Qi! You give me back! The sound of the Nine Nights of Nightmare spread throughout the manor, but the loud roar could only make Ye Qi run a few points faster; Looking at Ye Qi, who disappeared soon, Jiuye Wuxiao gently stroked the long hair on his hips, and snorted slightly: "Hmph, this time it's just to charge you some interest!" Next time, I will definitely ......"
