Chapter 2 Inquiries I
Dude, as if unaffected by the war, is still so prosperous and busy, and the people who live here have obviously forgotten the battle that the subversive planned and participated in not long ago, except for some who have unfortunately lost their loved ones.
A glass jar placed under a street lamp, inside was a white flower, just a very ordinary wildflower, without any name, but in the light of the morning sun, it had an extraordinary holiness - this is the way people pay tribute to their loved ones, simple but solemn.
Ye Qi held a bunch of hyacinths in his hand, and according to the custom of witchers, inserted one of them into the glass jar, and then walked to a place with white flowers under the Lu, and the surrounding crowd passed by Ye Qi, which was so incompatible; They didn't stop, but they kept a kind look at the black figure as it faded away through the rebuilt streets until it was no longer visible.
A bunch of hyacinths is more than a hundred, which is a very large canopy, but compared to the glass cans and small white flowers on the street, it is only just right; After inserting a hyacinth into the last glass can, Ye Qi took the only remaining hyacinth in his hand and threw it slightly.
The hyacinth gently floated up with Ye Qi's palm, flying towards the blue sky, flying higher and higher, flying farther and farther......
And Ye Qi kept looking at it until a long time, and then with the blessing of those who unfortunately passed away, he walked to the building that had already been decided, where a young man had been waiting for a long time.
Little Doug smiled and waved at Ye Qi: "Here, Your Excellency Ye Qi." Over here! β
Full of vibrant sounds. It made me feel a little silent before. Swept away, a smile appeared on the corner of Ye Qi's mouth, and asked, "Lord Blank, have you arrived?" β
Little Doug nodded and said, "I arrived last night, and I have been waiting for you after paying tribute to those who died outside in the morning!" β
It was only when he spoke of those unfortunate that there was a hint of gloom on little Doug's face - it was a kind child, even if it was a smile. It will also leave a good impression on it, and a considerable number of the people who have passed away before are good people in the child's mind.
Ye Qi patted the other party's shoulder, and when he passed by, he said softly: "Life is gone, but the memory is still there...... The soul is too! β
"Yes...... Lord Ye Qi! β
Little Doug nodded, and after watching Ye Qi walk up to the second floor, he turned around and pushed out a small cart with two buckets and some small white flowers on it; He pushed the cart. Walked in the direction Ye Qi had come.
β¦β¦
"I thought you'd have to show up in the afternoon!"
Without the slightest elder demeanor, the tower master snatched the wine from Speido's hand, and said in a heartfelt voice: "The injury is just healing. Drinking less is good for your health! β
As he spoke, a whole bottle of rum disappeared in the sound of cooing, and the head of the Demon Hunter branch of the Xia Lin District, who was still wrapped in bandages, looked at the empty wine bottle and couldn't help but show a smile that was more ugly than crying: "I think your appearance is the biggest blow to my injury!" β
Ye Qi on the side nodded very affirmatively, and said approvingly: "You represent that you are here from the Demon Hunter Headquarters, I think you should go to the hotel arranged by the Supreme Government to stay, instead of staying here!" β
Speido immediately said, "There shouldn't be a shortage of good wine there!" Please, don't waste my mental and physical appetite! β
The Lord of the Relic Tower rolled his eyes and snorted, "I don't want to be with a bunch of stereotyped, boring guys...... What's more, there are still papal guys there! Hmph, that guy from House is like a rat in the gutter...... Not only disgusting, but also nasty! β
Ye Qi sighed, "That's why you should stay there even more!" β
The Lord of the Tower of the Relic asked rhetorically, "Why don't you go?" You've also been invited, and with this victory over Xiaoyue, you already have as much prestige as me, and you can attend in my place! β
Ye Qi shrugged: "Replacement, after all, just substitution - you are already here, what else do you need to replace!" Not to mention, I still have a few things to deal with! β
The Lord of the Relic Tower asked in a deep voice, "The bridge on the other side?" β
Ye Qi nodded and did not speak again; And Spedu on the side sneered: "A bunch of self-righteous, high-minded, but don't understand things at all!" β
As for the Extreme Blade' Hotlir and the Bridge Beyond, Ye Qi informed the Demon Hunter Headquarters through the communication circle here after arriving in Dude yesterday morning, to which the Lord of the Moonlit Night Tower frowned, pondered for a moment, and then gave Ye Qi an affirmative answer.
'The bridge on the other side has the rules of the bridge on the other side, and the Witcher's headquarters has the rules of the Witcher's headquarters...... However, when the former first breaks such a rule, we will naturally no longer follow the corresponding rule; The other party has already raised his fist, we might as well pick up the sword! β
The Lord of the Tower on a Moonlit Night, the kind old man, even when he was angry, maintained his demeanor - of course, the above words, translated as "The bridge on the other side has its own strong men, and we also have themβhow can we be beaten passively if they dare to do it?" Now that you have stretched out your fist, you will cut off my shoulders with me! β
The head of the Demon Hunter branch in the Xia Lin District twisted his bandaged body and changed to a more comfortable position, and then asked, "Ye, what are you going to do?" β
Ye Qi smiled and said, "Do as Lord Hessel says...... However, such a thing is also a matter of later; I think the latter is more imminent than tomorrow's election β I've heard some bad news, and some people are quite hostile to this election! β
Yesterday morning, after entering Dude's range, the chameleon activated the intelligence network she left behind, and by the time they arrived at Dude's own place, the information had already fallen like snowflakes on the deskβand the rest of yesterday. The female cavalry captain and the chameleon spent their time sorting out this information. Ye Qi was slightly better after the sequelae of [Dragon Inheritance (Elder Dragon)]. Also joined in.
The operation of the three of them together was only completed when it was getting dark - although it was very hard, Ye Qi was satisfied with the news that was finally sorted out.
The supreme government families who escaped under the butcher's knife of Speaker Arryn obviously did not want to leave it at that, they were looking for partners who could form an alliance, and they were making a dying struggle, or a dying blow; Whether it's a dark mercenary. Or ordinary mercenaries, or some famous figures in the Dark World, they were all invited.
Of course, it won't be a simple verbal invitation, there are a lot of Kimpton and precious magical materials, and even two holy artifacts have appeared; In this regard, Ye Qi expressed a trace of admiration - not admiration for their behavior, but admiration for their search for money.
You must know that according to the information revealed by the chief of staff of Moretti, they have confiscated most of the family property of these families. I don't dare say 100 percent, but it's definitely more than 90 percent β but that's how it is. still let these people take out millions of Kimpton, Ye Qi can't be convinced; After all, these millions of Kimptons are really just Kimptons, not including anything else at all, if you count the others, it is worth more than 10 million Kimptons, which is too simple.
However, Ye Qi has a deep disdain for the way these people act.
Anyone with some wisdom can see that Speaker Arryn and the Desa Councillor are ostensibly making a peaceful transition, but in fact they are fully prepared to deal with it - the callback of the Lion Legion, the change of the captain of the Sea Dragon Legion, the silence of the Eagle Legion, and the concealment of the various squads of the Secret Service, plus the appearance of their invitees, step by step, all have a corresponding purpose.
Ye Qi believes that once these people are completely exposed, then they will definitely suffer a fatal blow - the kind that cuts the grass and eradicates the roots.
Moreover, even if these are put aside, just talking about the tactics of these people, Ye Qi's disdain will only become more and more intense - at any time, there is no way to completely control a political power by means of assassination and destruction; Neither the officials of the government itself, nor the civilians below would recognize such a regime, and even if it existed for a short time, it was only the madness that had fallen behind the White Terror.
Just like these people, the state at the moment: madness before death.
The Lord of the Tower of the Relic commented: "There are many crazy guys, but it's so rare to be crazy for the sake of death!" β
The head of the Demon Hunter Branch of the Xialin District also nodded in agreement: "They are looking for death...... Or rather, death under revenge! β
Ye Qi smiled at Speido's statement, which he had discussed with the female cavalry captain and chameleon last night, and the process was simple, and the three of them were noncommittal, or did not care at all, the result; After all, this is a matter for the supreme government, even if the supreme government invites them with a layer of 'being bodyguards', but there is really no more than one percent chance of such a situation.
Those quiet waiting, like a net, give the best excuse for those who seek death, to appear.
In fact, if he followed Ye Qi's approach, he would definitely wait, after all, with so much money, it was not very difficult to make a comeback; Moreover, there are corresponding places - except for the summer forest area, the deterrent power of the supreme government in other areas is obviously limited, especially in the Qiannuma area, the grassland area, the winter forest area and the yellow sand area, where there are still populations that can survive.
No matter how bad it is, the autumn forest area and the sea forest area are also a choice.
Although there is bound to be a certain price to pay if you go there, there is absolutely no problem in surviving, and you can even live well.
Only by living can there be hope!
Ye Qi pushed open the window on the second floor, watched Little Doug add water to those glass jars, put in small white flowers, and sighed softly - these people really should be exchanged with those who have passed away.
It's really not worth it for them to live!
β¦β¦
After a brief discussion with the Lord of the Relic Tower and the branch president of the Xialin District about attending the ceremony of the inauguration of Councillor de Sar tomorrow, Ye Qi was ready to leave, and at this time. The branch president suddenly said, "That kid from Xsol went to the Bay Area. Help me take care of that kid! β
Ye Qi was stunned. Surprised, he said, "He's already able to perform the mission alone?" Isn't it a little fast! β
The branch leader laughed and said with great pride: "There is always a surprise - he has awakened and become an apostle...... Haluha, my foolish brother still wants to get Ksol back, hmph, it's not that easy; This is my disciple, he can't snatch it! β
Awakened Apostles?
Ye Qi nodded suddenly, and couldn't help but show a hint of a smile - the power of the demon hunter. It is a good thing to increase at any time, especially a young man like Xsol, who is firmly on the opposite side of the Holy See, and needs to be cultivated with all his might; However, looking at Speido's appearance, he knew that he didn't have to worry about this.
However, the next moment, Ye Qi frowned, and he thought of Little Doug.
"What about Little Doug? Do you think this young man is not suitable? β
Ye Qi's gaze turned to Speido. Immediately, the branch president smiled bitterly, and he scratched his head in annoyance. "Whether it's Xsol or Dogg Jr., I want them to be my disciples...... Xsol's talent is good, and Doug Jr.'s is not bad, even if not an apostle; Moreover, they have the character of a true witcher! ButγBut ......"
With a pout, the gaze of the Xia Lin District Leader, who also had quite a statement in the Dark World Realm, became gloomy.
Ye Qi looked at the other party's resentful expression, and subconsciously was a trembling, the kind of middle-aged man with a face full of vicissitudes and full of mature charm looked at you with resentful eyes, even the gods were uncomfortable; Ye Qi pursed his lips and tried his best not to divert his gaze and said, "But what? β
"But that bastard boy actually said that Finger was his teacher, and apologized to me and thanked me for my kindness!" The tone of the head of the Xia Lin district was full of resentment.
Ye Qi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
Finger, in the Thousand Ponds District, he used a pseudonym for convenience, and in this capacity, he met Doug Jr. and Xsol, and then, taught each other something that seemed basic to the mysterious side and the dark world; It's just a very simple kind of professor, it's like you see a person who is good and doing some good things, but a little bit doesn't pay attention to his own safety, and you can't help but remind you of the concept.
Ye Qi had no intention of accepting another disciple, after all, he was definitely incompetent as a teacher, which even he understood.
Ye Qi groaned, and finally said, "Leave it to me!" β
Since the matter started because of him, he naturally needs to give an end - there is a beginning and an end, which is a good habit as a strong person.
The branch leader nodded, "I hope so...... However, that little guy's stubbornness is really unexpected, obviously such a kind-hearted guy! β
Ye Qi smiled and said, "Zhilu Dao, I will deal with it!" β
After that, Ye Qi walked downstairs, and whether it was the Lord of the Tower of the Holy Relic or the branch leader, they all waved their hands, without the slightest intention of getting up to send each other, Ye Qi didn't care about this at all, listening to the discussion between the two about the next bottle of wine, Ye Qi's face couldn't help but have a smile.
Demon hunters, despite the prefix, are also human beings - they laugh and curse too, sometimes it may seem childish, but that's life.
On the first floor, little Doug, who was pushing the cart back, was carrying an empty bucket down, and when he saw Ye Qi, he immediately said, "Are you leaving?" β
Ye Qi nodded and said, "Well, I still need to handle some things...... Saying that, Ye Qi's heart moved, stopped, and asked, "What do you need to do next?" If you have free time, can you accompany me to a place - although I know the name of the place, the buildings and roads in Dude are so complicated that I still can't tell the difference! β
The complexity of the road to Dude was well known, and little Doug didn't think of anything else, and the young man immediately laughed: "Of course, I'm just tidying up the bar, but the bar won't be open today, so I can rest; Also, the afternoon is when I train...... I need to say a word to Mr. Speido, though! β
Ye Qi made a gesture of please, and little Doug immediately ran upstairs, and after a while, he ran down again, wearing regular clothes outside, but Ye Qi could see that the inner lining was soft armor, and at the waist and legs, there was a slight bulge, obviously there was a weapon.
Undoubtedly, after the last sudden battle, the kind-hearted young man may be able to protect himself.
And in this regard, Ye Qi smiled and nodded-this kind of growth is naturally what he is happy to see.
At the door of the bar, Little Doug asked, "Your Excellency Ye Qi, where do we need to go now?" β
Ye Qi said: "Delong Manor, have you heard of it? β
Little Doug nodded, "That's a location in the suburbs, do you have any friends there?" β
Ye Qi smiled: "It's not a friend, it can only be regarded as two people who know each other, I need to ask them about something!" β
Little Doug nodded a little incomprehensibly, and walked briskly towards the corner of the street, where there were waiting taxis.
