Chapter 19 Negotiations Come to the Bottom
The four-wheeled carriage, led by two horses, galloped along the unknown path from the Central Castle to Shak; The carriage did not enter the bustling city, but followed this unknown path, bypassing the city of Shak, and heading towards the entrance to the other side of the city - although it was driving in the suburbs, but in the driver's driving, the carriage did not slow down at the same time, but also ran fast, especially when it reached some places where there were no roads at all, and it was completely dependent on the coachman's eyes and memory to discern the direction.
Ye Qi, who was sitting in the carriage, listened to Ted and the cold-faced man constantly communicating about the difficulties they might encounter in the negotiations; However, after ten minutes, he very wisely put his eyes on other places - professional things need professional talents to do, like him is not even an amateur, just a cameo 'negotiator', even if it is in the name of a positive envoy, Ye Qi also knows what he should do; at least, on the premise of not being able to provide corresponding advice to the two companions, do not disturb the two companions to agree on the corresponding strategy, Ye Qi can still do it.
His eyes swept over the window of the car to the flowers and trees that had become dark green as it was getting darker, and then, Ye Qi's attention gradually became attracted to the rhythmic sound of the driver waving his whip - it was evident that the horses' vision was far less sensitive than their ears in such a dark moment; However, it is not easy to guide the horse with the sound of a whip, and in addition to the patience that should be required at all times, some necessary skills are also basically required.
Ye Qi's gaze was away from the window of the car, which had lost its due brilliance due to the dark sky, and his gaze was placed on the driver's body through the front window of the car, which was obviously stronger than ordinary people's back. Ye Qi was sure that the man driving the car was a retired Ranger from the Witcher's headquarters.
Retired Rangers. In addition to going to various places to serve as a witcher. There will also be some that remain; Most of the retired Rangers were Shark natives; Because he didn't want to leave his hometown, after retiring from the rangers, he stayed directly in the central castle of the witcher.
Except for the retired ranger in front of him who was responsible for picking up some witchers who needed to handle special things, as far as Ye Qi knew, there were definitely not a few such rangers, and of course they were engaged in more than just a coachman. There are also florists and cooks; Some even went back to the Ranger camp again to serve as instructors for the trainee Rangers, or a few went to help the Relic Tower in charge of the Hammer weapons collection, etc.
But wherever there is a need for manpower, it is within the scope of these retired rangers, although it is just some ordinary work, but every ranger who is willing to stay is so happy - for such a choice, Ye Qi naturally will not say anything, according to the sentence in his hometown, it is, 'Zifei knows the joy of fishing?' ’。
Some people are adventurous by nature. Others, on the other hand, have a natural preference for tranquility – the former will revel in the thrill of adventure, while the latter will soak up the tranquil atmosphere. Dance leisurely; If according to his natural character, Ye Qi knows very well that he should belong to the latter, and he is a more conservative member; Not only is he happy to work a 9-to-5 job, but he also puts all his leisure time on Saturdays and Sundays to do what he likes to do; For example: reading a book or drinking tea.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking on the part of Ye Qi at the moment, and after he chose to become a witcher and inadvertently signed a contract with the strange wolf, all this has changed radically - it is not his own choice, but it is determined by other beings, such as the 'god' of the Holy See, which is certainly not pleasant, but Ye Qi must endure it.
Because, as the contractor of the strange wolf, Ye Qi understands his role very well - self-knowledge is one of his two greatest strengths in addition to prudence.
If you can't be a player in a game, it's better to be a useful piece than to discard......
Ye Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed softly in his heart - time is his biggest limitation at the moment, even with the help of the system, he can't break through the entire limitation; Moreover, as his character level reaches level 20, the amount of experience required has increased considerably, and the difficulty of his tasks has become more and more difficult according to the system's 'fairness principle'.
I'm afraid that the previous [A+ mission] is now just a [A-level mission] or even a lower [A-level mission], right?
Maybe some system 'bugs' should be exploited?
Ye Qi, who squinted his eyes, pondered the feasibility of this plan - although the system on his body was magical, there were still loopholes to exploit in some aspects; For example, if you can only evaluate the overall level, but you can't make the most accurate assessment because of the lack of human breakdown, and after he 'weakens' himself, the system will only issue tasks according to his current physical condition.
The latter's words are now under the attention of the head of the inquisition, and the danger is too great!
And the words of the former......
Even places like the Holy See, which seem to be covered by the head of the Inquisition, have different factions, and other places can be imagined!
Then, even if I am facing the Holy See, as long as I have accurate information, and then, if the timing of the cut is just right, it doesn't seem too difficult!
However, for the sake of safety, some identity is also needed as a disguise......
Of course, it would be even better if these identities still had some power as a backing!
Ye Qi squinted his eyes and thought about the feasibility, and some unformed plans appeared in his mind - although it was only a small beginning, as long as the situation was right, this small beginning was enough to turn into a terrifying behemoth.
As for the remaining 'bugs' in the system - accumulation tasks?
In Ye Qi's view, this is completely similar to the first one to 'weaken' himself, which belongs to the extremely risky kind - at all times, you must have enough strength and enough hole cards to deal with everything; For Ye Qi, who has such thoughts, he wants to take the initiative to 'weaken' himself. Obviously quite difficult.
Syllable! Syllable!
After two crisp whips. The carriage came to a steady stop. Then the shouts of the coachman rang out.
"Lord Yeqi, Lord Ted, Lord Nofa, we have arrived!"
After pushing open the door of the carriage and reattaching the Enma Knife to his waist, Ye Qi jumped out of the carriage and looked up—this was not the path they had taken when they returned to Shak from the Thousand Swamps; In fact, because tomorrow is Midsummer, the number of people who come to Shak from all over the world to participate in Midsummer has not decreased, but has increased. Even before getting into the car, the retired ranger driver was lamenting that it was almost jammed to the point where it was difficult to move an inch.
After all, although the Midsummer Festival will be held for five days, the most lively is the first day and the day after - especially the first day, not only when the parades and ceremonies begin, but also the night is the 'Midsummer Night' that many people are looking forward to.
Therefore, the closer to the first day, the number of people coming to Shak will not decrease. On the contrary, there are more and more of them, even more than the previous days combined—after all. In places such as Xialin District, the rest days for work and work are all unified; Most of it is concentrated in these days; Except for those who have a fairly leisurely time and can arrive early, everyone else is in a hurry.
However, for the sake of the excitement of Midsummer, all the people were so happy - and this caused considerable trouble for those who came to Shak for negotiations; Because the secrecy of this negotiation to the common people made it difficult for them to open the road to Shak; It is only possible to enter the central castle of the witchers in such a remote place.
Laugh at!
The match in the coachman's hand lit the two oil lamps hanging outside the carriage, and then lit a self-rolled cigarette for himself; And when the coachman took the rolled cigarette and motioned to Ye Qi and the others, except for Ted, who leaned over with interest, Ye Qi and the cold-faced man waved their hands and rejected each other's kindness; Especially the cold-faced man, he went straight back to the carriage.
"Master Pednange doesn't like the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, so our Nofa is a good boy who doesn't smoke or drink!" Ted looked at Ye Qi, who was slightly surprised, and immediately smiled and said, "Fortunately, our Lord Peidnange is not a vegetarian, otherwise, our Nofa may not be able to grow so tall at all, right?" ”
"Ted, if you don't care about your mouth, then I can guarantee that you will work on the guitar several times more in the future!"
The cold-faced man's voice coming from the carriage was a little sullen, but the meaning was understandable to everyone present, even the retired ranger driver grinned after seeing Ted's depressed appearance - without the strictness of the hierarchy between the Holy See and the supreme government, most of the relations between the demon hunters were so casual; Especially in such a private occasion, without the presence of outsiders, many witchers will become even more unscrupulous, looking for someone to fight for wine bare-chested, and finally rolling under the table with a wine barrel, which is really common for demon hunters.
However, although smiling, the retired coachman of the Ranger did not forget his duty, and after the cigarette in his hand burned more than halfway, the coachman checked his pocket watch, stood up, and began to adjust the oil lamp behind him to make it brighter - this is obviously a special oil lamp, and after a little adjustment, it emits a light far beyond ordinary people's imagination, even if it is dozens of yards away, it can see that little bit of light clearly.
If you want to find a carriage at night, in the dark wilderness, in addition to perceiving the supernormal existence, it is obviously impossible to rely on the visual power of the naked eye alone, without the guidance of the light - although the coachman also knows that there are several big people in this Holy See negotiation, and he can rely on the visual power of the naked eye to reach a point that he cannot reach in his life, but out of etiquette, he still made arrangements in accordance with the way of ordinary people.
Time passed slowly in the small talk of Ye Qi and his party, and after Ted had licked his face and asked the coachman for the third time for the self-rolled cigarette, within the scope of Ye Qi's perception, several strong breaths began to appear, and as the distance approached, after the fluctuations of several positive energy breaths filled with the unique positive energy of the Holy See appeared in the blind bucket perception, Ye Qi put one hand directly on the handle of the Enma Knife. Look at the place where the fluctuations appear.
And after seeing Ye Qi's movements. Ted and the coachman who reacted. He also snuffed out the cigarette in his hand while looking into the distance; And in the next moment, the cold-faced man who had been hiding in the carriage also jumped out of the carriage and stood side by side with Ye Qi and Ted-
Wheels, wheels!
Syllable! Syllable!
The other party's carriage was obviously also very fast, and when Ye Qi and the three of them had just stood still, the sound of wheels and whips came; Immediately after a few breaths, two carriages, which were also four-wheeled, appeared in the sight of Ye Qi and the others—different. The black carriage that Ye Qi was riding, although the two carriages that came in the distance did not have the Holy See's emblem, but whether it was the previous one or the latter one, the two carriages were completely white, especially the equally bright lights hanging on the four corners of the carriage, which made this white have an extra layer of halo, and the horses pulling the two carriages were obviously carefully selected war horses, not only tall and strong, but also white all over the body like the body. There isn't a single stray hair.
Under the illumination of that halo, such a white carriage, a white horse. It's almost like driving out of the epic story - such a contrast can be distinguished almost instantaneously, especially the retired ranger coachman, who stood next to his carriage and sighed softly: "War horses should not be used to pull carts ......"
"Sure enough, it's worthy of the Holy See, every time it's like this!"
Although the words literally meant praise, looking at Ted's sneering appearance, you could tell what he really thought; Although the cold-faced man on the side didn't say anything, he could see his true thoughts at the moment from his increasingly cold expression - because Pednange had defected from the Holy See and had been hunted down by the Holy See, this cold-faced man who respected his teacher was comparable to life, and he was quite hostile to any existence of the Holy See; Perhaps there is considerable respect for the Cardinal Archbishop Church who is a heroic Commander of the Holy Knights or a cardinal archchurch like Tkavic, but for others, in the eyes of this cold-faced man, it is only that he can and cannot be killed; Or to be more precise, what can be killed and what cannot be killed.
Stomp ......
The sound of horses' hooves was uniform, getting clearer and clearer, and they drove straight towards Ye Qi and the others; But when they drove into a distance of nearly thirty yards, and the decorations on the carriage could be clearly seen by Ye Qi, the four of them, including Ye Qi, all frowned - because, after reaching this distance, the two carriages still did not slow down at all!
Make your presence known?
Or is it to save face and make a gesture of charity?
Ye Qi glanced at Ted and the cold-faced man beside him, almost in no particular order, and the three of them showed a cold smile at the same time - the fact that it was inevitable as compensation for the Thousand Pond District, after all, the fact that Tkavic, who had always appeared as a neutral, joined the team in this negotiation was enough to explain the final attitude of the Holy See; But even so, it is obvious that the pride that comes from the bones makes these people from the Holy See unwilling to fail in such an honest way, and always have to find their own advantageous mentality in some other places.
Moreover, Ye Qi was sure that the cardinal of Tkavich must have been in the second carriage - after entering the range of about twenty-five yards, the second carriage behind had already begun to slow down; It's just that the first car is still moving forward as before, even two points faster.
At this distance, Ye Qi could even see the coachman who was holding the carriage, obviously flashing his excited eyes at the moment, and the other party's black coat undoubtedly explained the identity of the other party's black-clothed deacon-
Syllable! Syllable!
There were two more rapid beatings, and suddenly, the carriage, which was already close at hand, was a little faster in the painful gallop of the horse.
Roar!
However, just after this range entered the range of ten yards, a roar like thunder came out from Ye Qi's body, and immediately, the forest full of night creatures instantly entered a state of silence, as if in an instant, all the creatures held their breath, and the atmosphere did not dare to be unusual!
Herod!
And the horses that pulled the carriage forward, as if they had seen some terrible predator, instinctively began to flee in all directions, but the reins and lassoes on their bodies made it impossible for them to escape at all; However, although they could not escape, the two horses also stopped, even if they were hit by the inertia of the carriage behind them, they staggered a few steps, and finally, after the inertia disappeared, they plowed the ground with their front hooves and retreated against the carriage.
The black-clothed deacon who was driving originally wanted to whip the horses and make them move on, but the next moment, the instinct, which was far more degenerative than the horses, also discovered that something was wrong - when he looked up, a pair of huge eyes were floating in front of him not far away, and the gray-white eyes made him tremble all over his body immediately, and then he collapsed straight on the coachman's seat, leaving only an unconscious moan in his mouth: "Dragon, dragon...... Giant, dragon......"
