Chapter 68: The Desperate One
"They are very ruthless, and they are completely going to kill with one hit! However, their ultimate goal should be what I have in my hands! The weak witcher, faced with this question, thought for a moment and said-For the man in front of him who gave him an expensive healing potion, although the other party wrapped his whole body in the cloak, the weak witcher could not deny the other party's kindness.
So, weak witcher, try to let yourself be as detailed as possible.
"Because, at the very beginning, the opponent's sudden attack had a chance to cut off my arm! But because I was holding a tentacle equipped with a Mind Snatcher in my hand, I instinctively blocked it, and the other party immediately withdrew his sword! After that, the other party also had several chances to kill me, but every time I used the tentacles of the Mind Flayer as a shield, the other party would be very scruples! โ
Speaking of this, the weak witcher became a little uncertain, but in the end, he still said to Ye Qi.
"Moreover, I don't think the people who ambushed me first and the people who came after me should be in the same group!"
"Not a bunch of people?!"
Ye Qi couldn't help but be a little surprised-the people who could target the wizard secret city were definitely bold outlaws, usually one or two would be surprising enough, but now there are two groups of people; Although according to the weak demon hunter, there are only two people in the front and back, and there are only four people in total, who can guarantee that it is only four people and no more people are involved?
At the very least, according to the general arrangement, if you want to accurately grasp the whereabouts of the weak demon hunter and capture the tentacles of the Mind Snatcher, you should have the so-called eyeliner; Otherwise. From the Northside family's estate to the downtown area of Landenburgh. Despite the alignment of directions. But there is more than one road, and without an accurate message, it is difficult to rely on only two people to succeed in an ambush.
"Yes, because after this gentleman was also wounded, in order to give us the last time, I had to throw the bag containing the tentacles of the Mind Flayer in my hand towards the other man; But unexpectedly, the four people who seemed to be together were divided into two groups, and the two people in front were replaced by the two who appeared behind. Attack without hesitation! โ
Black eats black?
After Ye Qi heard the weak demon hunter's answer, he instinctively thought; Then, he immediately asked, "Did you notice that you were being followed?" โ
"Although my fighting ability is very weak, I am also a qualified witcher, and I can be sure that there is no one behind me to follow me!" The weak witcher replied very affirmatively at first, but the next moment he thought of the situation where he was ambushed, and the blow smiled softly and bitterly, and he said a little helplessly: "Or the person who is following me." It's quite skillful, so I didn't notice it! โ
The tentacles of the Mind Flayer. Will it be so sought-after?
Could it be that someone is in dire need of such magical materials?
But according to the recipe I received, the Mind Flayer's tentacles, while precious, have many substitutes......
After gently patting the shoulder of the weak demon hunter on the other side, Ye Qi stood up, walked to the other side, stood in the crowd, and couldn't help but think silently - among the sixteen formulas given by the strange wolf before, the formula on the true use of the Mind Flayer Brain Marrow couldn't help but list the correct use of the brain marrow, as well as the functions of other parts of the Heart Flayer's body; Among them is the tentacles of the Mind Snatcher; However, compared to the irreplaceable cerebral marrow and eyes, although the tentacles of the Mind Flayer are precious, there are many substitutes.
For the sake of such a substitute, but to face the encirclement and suppression of almost the entire Lorante, no matter how you look at it, it is unreasonable!
Ye Qi finally shook his head, choosing to stay in the crowd for the time being, waiting for the news of the investigation from the front - in fact, after such an incident, the attention of the crowd in the Wizard Secret City had already been drawn; With the supreme government, the Holy See, and the witchers maintaining order, there was naturally no possibility of any major disturbances, but the whispers in the crowd were endless.
The most talked about is, of course, asking what happened; After that, people's expressions were different, some were slightly worried, and some were gloating - the worries were naturally closely related to the interests of the Wizard Secret City, and the schadenfreude was undoubtedly those who were small and organized, and they were secretly happy to see Lorant's biggest forces.
Of course, no matter what kind of mentality it is, for those guys who dare to make a move during the wizarding secret city, everyone present is not only admiring the boldness of the other party, but also the curiosity of these people - although they know that these people will definitely not end well under the encirclement and suppression of Lorant's largest forces, but being able to do such a big thing is enough to arouse everyone's curiosity.
Therefore, many people temporarily left the sales area of the wizard secret city, and walked near the gate of the Norsd family's manor, wanting to see the true face of these people for the first time, and even some wizards who set up stalls also joined such a crowd, but the leaders of the wizarding road this time, Stendon and Weston, ignored it, the two wizard masters, were getting together, discussing something in a low voice, and then the old man Fletcher of the Nord family also joined in - although far enough, but keen hearing, so that Ye Qi heard a few words in it; And from these words, Ye Qi understood that this time the inner market of the Wizard Secret City was going to be opened in advance.
In order to eliminate the influence of one thing, it is natural to let another, bigger thing appear, to attract people's attention.
Ye Qi naturally will not have any objection to this; After all, the sooner the Wizard's Secret City opened, the sooner he would be able to get the high-standard magic crystals he deserved.
Perhaps, I can stay for two days, participate in the bidding in the inner market, and then leave.
Ye Qi, who was thinking like this, raised his head and looked out of the gate of the manor, the first few demon hunters who left on their own had already returned at this moment, and it seemed that they had quite a harvest - basically one person was carrying a corpse in one hand, and after entering the gate of the manor, these witchers immediately placed all the corpses on the lawn in a row under Jacob's instructions.
"I don't know anyone other than these two people who attacked me!"
The weak witcher replied directly under Jacob's inquiry.
"Lord Jacob. These are supposed to be the same unfortunate people as Herman! โ
One of the first witchers to scout. He walked up to Jacob and said; And then. At his signal, Jacob walked up to the corpse, crouched down, and examined it carefully: "The part that was attacked was either the neck or the heart, and most of them were raids from behind, and then the blow was fatal; Not only is it very spicy, but it is also very fast, so fast that even these famous guys don't react! โ
Apparently. Among the corpses on the ground, there were several people that Jacob knew wellโJacob pointed to several corpses on the ground, and continued: "Although one or two of these guys are very damned, but at this time, they are dead...... Hey, any clues? โ
"No, the site of Herman's attack has been cleaned very clean; We searched within a two-kilometer radius of Herman's attack, and in the end, we only found the bodies of these men who were hidden! The previous witcher continued to reply, "And. These guys were searched very thoroughly, and there was nothing of value on their bodies; If it weren't for the fact that the clothes weren't worth much. I'm afraid I'll have to be stripped naked! โ
"It should have been for Kimpton, the desperate guy who did it!"
The witcher spoke his mind.
"Moreover, not one person, but a group!"
After looking down at the corpse at his feet again, Jacob turned to the witcher in front of him and ordered, "Go and investigate, whether these guys have bought or sold any valuable items in the wizarding secret market before!" โ
Undoubtedly, Jacob also agreed with the view of the witcher in front of him; After all, most of the people who walk in the Dark Realm are able to make them do it for nothing other than hatred; And this kind of purposeless killing in front of him undoubtedly cannot be the former, so only the latter remains.
However, some evidence is still needed as the final basis.
Fortunately, the stall holders in the Wizard Secret City are all ignoring, although their bodies are not strong due to long-term meditation, but their minds are clear enough, and they also have a considerable memory; Therefore, after the wizards were asked to identify the bodies, except for the two bodies that were also attackers, the remaining bodies were quickly identified.
As Jacob had guessed, Kimpton either had enough money or had just bought a valuable.
Profiteering?
Herman just happened to be targeted, not someone specifically wanted to capture the tentacles of the Mind Snatcher!
Ye Qi, who was standing not far from Jacob, saw everything in his eyes, and immediately nodded secretly with a slight abruptness; However, in the next moment, Ye Qi's whole person was stunned - compared to Herman, who only had the tentacles of the Mind Flayer, wouldn't another person with the brain and eyes of the Mind Flayer be a bigger goal?
Could it be that the one who followed me before?
Instinctively, Ye Qi thought of the few people who had followed him after he left the Norsid estate; Although it was thought that it was the men sent by the eldest young master of the Devaro family, from now on, it should be people who are in the same group as these attackers; Moreover, it should be the person in charge of stalking, but the most lull lost his heel so that he did not appear as it should have been 'ambushed'!
Maybe......
Ye Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, although according to the practice of ordinary robbers, they should quickly retreat to a safe place after succeeding, but judging from the current situation, these people are very bold, and it is not impossible to return to the wizard secret city; After all, the crowded Wizard City itself is a very good hiding place for the Wizards, especially the 'eyes' who are in charge of keeping an eye on it and not moving it.
Even the secret art of interrogating the soul is only enough to enable it to identify who its murderer is, and it is undoubtedly impossible to make the dead tell the stalker whom he has not discovered; Therefore, these 'eyes' responsible for stalking and screening targets are much safer than those of the 'executors'.
Of course, this is just the general situation!
For Ye Qi, who has [Blind Bucket Perception], distinguishing a person by a person's fluctuations is more real than seeing it with his eyes - out of the crowd, Ye Qi walked around slowly, as if walking, and his attention was all on [Blind Bucket Perception].
Although Ye Qi felt that he might have done something too much to do so, after all, in his opinion, the Supreme Government, the Holy See, and the Demon Hunters. And the wizards are all dispatched. It's impossible for anyone to run away; And when those 'executors' are caught. Naturally, none of these 'eyes' can escape.
Perhaps, they are all bold outlaws, but sometimes it is not that you can stop saying it if you don't want to; Especially when there is an additional group of priests and sorcerers of the Holy See among the interrogators, the magic of the former and the magic of the latter are enough for another loyal and steadfast person to reveal the biggest secret in his heart.
Therefore, Ye Qi did not think that this group of desperate people could achieve the ultimate success.
However, if you can end this accident quickly. Ye Qi didn't mind taking matters into his own hands - there was nothing wrong with the fact that the two wizarding masters, Standon and Weston, had negotiated with the old man Fletcher of the Nosd family to develop the internal market in advance to divert the attention of others; However, this must be based on the capture of all these desperate people.
And if you want to quickly get your fair share from the auction in the wizard's inner market, then it is natural to end this accident early.
What's more, as a demon hunter, if you see your own people hurt, if you have the ability to help. If you ignore it, you will undoubtedly go against your own philosophy. Just like throwing out an intermediate injury healing potion without hesitation before, Ye Qi didn't care about the value of that potion, just because he had the ability to help, so he went to help.
Since most of the people in the Wizard City are attracted by what is happening here, although there are witchers and people from the Holy See to maintain order and pull up the cordon, but behind the cordon, there are still a considerable number of people gathered, and this searching Ye Qi provides considerable convenience, even if it is because of the large number of people gathered together, the fluctuation of strength and weakness has differences and effects, but under Ye Qi's preoccupied search, he quickly found one of the targets in the crowd, and two other targets, Also appeared in his perception in the next moment.
Sure enough, it's back!
Ye Qi stood at the outskirts of the crowd, looking at the three targets at an oblique angle - two of the three were dressed as dark mercenaries, all covering their faces, revealing only their eyes; The other was dressed as a merchant, in a wide robe, and carrying a large backpack behind him.
And among the three, it is obvious that the presence dressed as a merchant is the leader, and the two 'stalkers' dressed as dark mercenaries will instinctively look at the former every once in a while, looking like they are ready to obey orders;
Here, there is the 'eye' you are looking for!
A few gestures suddenly attracted the attention of Jacob, who was standing up from the corpse, he looked at the figure wrapped in the cloak, was slightly stunned, and subconsciously made an inquiring gesture.
Be careful, come out of these three, there should still be one in the crowd!
After Ye Qi first responded to Jacob in the affirmative, he immediately pointed out the three people to the other party and reminded Jacob.
After nodding without a trace, Jacob immediately reached out and beckoned the previous witcher over, and whispered in the other person's ear.
"Are you sure, Lord Jacob?"
The witcher's eyes widened, a little incredulous.
"Of course, sure! Hurry up! โ
Jacob nodded affirmatively, and then whispered.
"Yes!"
After receiving Jacob's reaffirmation, the witcher immediately turned and entered the crowd, and behind him, two witchers disappeared at the same time; However, this is nothing at all for the crowd watching the excitement; After all, from the very beginning, there have been demon hunters and deacons and priests of the Holy See coming and going.
Therefore, the 'eye' disguised as a merchant did not pay more attention, not to mention, in the heart of this 'eye', he was in the blind spot of the other party at all, and he would not be discovered at all, and with the passage of time, such an affirmation became more and more real, so when he felt someone tap him on the shoulder, turned his head to find that it was the witcher who had disappeared before, the 'eye' widened his eyes, and subconsciously touched the weapon on his waist.
However, the witcher in front of him was faster, punching the opponent in the abdomen, causing the 'eye' to fall to the ground in pain, while the other two 'eyes' suffered the same treatment.
Wow!
It was as if the waves were crashing on the reef and splashing in all directions, and the crowd exclaimed, and immediately scattered around the three 'eyes' that fell to the ground, but after everyone saw the Demon Hunter's dress clearly, they all subconsciously let go of the weapons they were holding-The Demon Hunter has a good reputation in the Dark World, if it was the Holy See who did it at this time, I am afraid that all the people around him would have to draw their swords against each other, and everyone would be in danger; After all, the Holy See has done something similar on more than one occasion to set traps to lure people in.
It's just that the blocked gate of the manor still makes them feel a certain amount of nervousness.
"Lord Jacob!"
The witcher threw the three 'eyes' in front of Jacob.
"Bishop Vallejo, Master Stendon, can I trouble you to come over for a moment?"
Hearing Jacob's shout to the two people in the distance, Ye Qi couldn't help but smile slightly, and then turned around and walked towards the outside of the manor - after completing his 'mission', Ye Qi naturally had no need to stay;
