Chapter 50: The Ruins. Intermittent on
The beef that had been taken out of the canned food was cut into pieces of meat that were an inch in size, and put into a large iron pot that had been boiled, and immediately tumbled together with the turnips and potatoes in it; The three vibrant colors immediately whet everyone's appetite, especially when the local tour guide Foucault appears with a plate of emerald green fruit, even anorexic people can't help but secrete a mouth full of saliva at this moment.
"Foucault, do you know the truth? I think it's the luckiest thing I've ever done to know you in Sennuma-ku! ”
Feribel rushed to the local guide of Chinuma District in two steps, and quickly picked up a fruit and stuffed it into his mouth; In the crunchy sound of 'click, click', ignoring the overflowing juice, the witcher, who was very gentlemanly, said without the slightest grace.
"It is my pleasure, Lord Feribey!"
Compared with Felibe, who 'humiliates and discredits' the witchers, as the most famous tour guide in the Thousand Numa District, Foucault has the simplicity and simplicity unique to the locals of the Thousand Numa District, and a white and bright smile blooms on his dark face; After taking the fruit handed over by Foucault, all the witchers thanked them one by one—
"These fruits cost you a lot of effort, don't they?"
Jacob, who had taken the fruit, looked at their guide—although he had already taken care of his appearance, the fatigue after the strenuous exercise could not hide the witcher at all; Moreover, Jacob, who has been camping nearby for nearly two years, knows very well that the fruits that can be picked within about ten kilometers of the camp have already been picked; Especially after the greedy guy Felibe joined, the range was expanded by about ten kilometers; Therefore, Foucault wanted to pick fresh fruits. Recently, it is not possible until 20 kilometers away.
Plus back and forth. And calculate the time from morning to noon. Jacob could feel the toil - even a local who was accustomed to life in the Sennuma District could travel nearly forty kilometers of mountain roads in four or five hours and pick a certain amount of fruit. Especially when returning later, it is necessary to count the almost ten catties of fruit into the weight, even a well-trained soldier, such a trip is enough to make him extremely tired for the next few hours.
"Good luck today. Found a wild fruit forest ......"
"Where? Where is it? Take me next time! ”
Before Foucault could finish his words, Felibe, who had already eaten the third fruit, raised his head and asked loudly - obviously, with the speed at which Feribel swallowed, the little fruit in front of him was nothing to Felibe, and if there were more fruits, he would naturally not mind.
"Can't stop your mouth when you eat? It's all nonsense! ”
Blaise unceremoniously picked up a wild fruit, shoved it straight into Felibe's mouth, and pressed it down; Immediately afterwards, Tate moved quickly, squeezing Feribel out of the campfire—the two of them worked together intimately. Obviously, this is not the first time.
"Foucault. Ignore this heartless guy! ”
Blaise and Tate apologized to their guide; Foucault, the local guide, waved his hand again, without the slightest displeasure, and said: "Your Excellency Felibe likes to eat these wild fruits, and I can't be happy; After all, that's what Chinuma has the most in the area! ”
"These will definitely become the characteristics of Sennuma City in the future! It's going to be a hit! ”
Ye Qi held the fruit in his hand, the emerald green color made him feel a trace of heartfelt love, especially the faint fragrance, which was even more appetizing; Recalling the businesswoman's evaluation of this fruit in the bazaar, Ye Qi couldn't help but say slowly.
"These will become the characteristics of Sennuma District?"
Although there were doubts, the best tour guide in the Qiannuma District was bitter - although Ye Qi's extraordinaryness could be seen from the attitude of Jacob and others, although Foucault did not refute what Ye Qi said at the moment, he was a little incredulous from the bottom of his heart; After all, no one knows the value of these wild fruits better than he, a native of the Thousand Swamp District; Those outsiders are at most just trying to be fresh, and once the freshness is over, that's it.
I think that in the beginning, in order to find a way out for his people, he and his cousin took these fruits to the outside world to seek a way out; Although many merchants were very optimistic about these fruits, once they heard about the Sennuma District, all the merchants would shake their heads, full of pity and refusal—the harsh environment, all kinds of characteristics, had already made these merchants cautious enough; Especially when the lessons of unbelief in the past are laid in front of them, even the most daring businessman will think about it for a moment.
"At most, these can only be 'snacks' for entertaining friends, and it's so hard to become special! But those wanted criminals are considered by everyone to be the characteristics of Sennuma Ward! Foucault shook his head, helpless.
"Looks like Monsieur Foucault hasn't been back to the bazaar for a long time, right?"
Ye Qi looked at Foucault's bitter and helpless appearance, and couldn't help but smile.
"Yes! Since I came here, I haven't been back except for the last Midwinter! ”
Foucault nodded naturally.
"No wonder you don't know the good news from the Ludao Bazaar!"
"Good news, what good news?"
After hearing Ye Qi's words, Foucault, a native of the Thousand Swamp District, immediately asked, and even a few people from the Thousand Swamp District who were helping to cook on the side turned their heads - every news that could improve the living conditions of their own people was the concern of these local adults.
"The famous merchant, Lady Caria, has taken a fancy to the bazaar; Signed a series of proposals with Mr. Toka on how to develop Sennuma District! Ye Qi slightly summed up what he knew, and said slowly: "Moreover, there are some other people from Qiannuma District who have joined your market, and when I left before, construction has already started to start building a temporary camp next to it!" ”
"Galia? That Galia? ”
I have to say that the reputation of the businesswoman is far and wide, even in a remote place like Sennuma District, there are rumors about her; At the very least, this is the most famous tour guide in Sennuma Ward. After hearing the name. He stood up straight and suddenly, with a look of disbelief and joy that could not be concealed.
"If you're talking to me about that one from the Summer Grove District. And if it's a lady who started in business, then we're talking about a person! Ye Qi said with a smile.
"Is that really the case?"
All the people in the camp stood in front of Ye Qi with excited expressions, staring at Ye Qi with unblinking eyes - although they knew that it was impossible for them to deceive themselves with Ye Qi's identity, such news was too unbelievable; In fact, when the businesswoman's bodyguard and secretary went to look for Toka, the person in charge of the bazaar had the same expression, and even more unbearable; According to several teenagers in the Sennuma area. Their respected elder directly pinched his thigh, and after he was directly pinched and swollen, he shouted, 'This is not a dream, not a dream!' It took two laps around the outskirts of the bazaar before he calmed down.
"Of course, do you think I'm like a boring guy who likes to joke about things like this?"
Ye Qi shrugged; And everyone subconsciously glanced at Felibe before they nodded; This behavior immediately caused Feribe, who had just squeezed between Blaise and Tate, to shout: "Look, see what I'm doing? Am I like that? You've all made it clear to me......"
Despite Felibe's loud shouting, no one paid any attention to him, and all eyes were on Ye Qi, the team digging for the ruins. Except for some material supplies and special things, Jacob did not pay too much attention to the situation in the outside world. And a digging team of less than ten people like theirs, coupled with the distance, is undoubtedly a very long time to replenish; It had been six months since their last supply.
During this time, there was no contact with the outside world at all, except for the urgent secret letter from the Lord of the Relic Tower two days ago and the routine exchange of news with the Demon Hunter Headquarters two months ago; Moreover, the urgent letter only mentions the return of the Holy See, probably for the sake of one thing in the ruins they have excavated, and never mentions anything else; Therefore, several demon hunters here, including Jacob, also don't know anything about the Chinuma District Market.
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Ye Qi had to explain in detail once again the cooperation between the businesswoman and the market in the Thousand Pond District, as well as the relocation of the remaining people in the temple in the Grand Canyon; And after listening to Ye Qi's relay, the people of the Thousand Pond District, including Foucault, glanced at each other, and immediately all stood in front of Jacob-
"Of course I can't afford to give you a holiday for such a happy event! Come, after lunch, let's go back and have a look! ”
Jacob, who knew what his guide wanted to say, immediately laughed - as Jacob, who had been in the ruins of the Thousand Swamp District for nearly twenty years, and the most people he dealt with every day were these locals besides the ruins, so he naturally knew what Foucault was thinking at the moment; No witcher would stop such a thing.
"Thank you, Lord Jacob!" Foucault nodded at his employer, then looked at Ye Qi again, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you for telling us this precious news, Your Excellency Ye Qi!" ”
"I'm just doing it!"
Ye Qi smiled and waved his hand; In the next ten minutes, three people from the Sennuma District, including Foucault, neatly packed up their belongings and set off.
"Take care all the way!"
After saying goodbye to each other, the three people from the Thousand Pond District rushed forward, and the five witchers, including Ye Qi, returned to the open space in the middle of the camp again-
"It's really so serious that even you can't stop it?"
After the guide left with the two clansmen, Jacob restrained his smile and looked at Ye Qi with a solemn face—as a witcher, especially a very good witcher, his senses were undoubtedly extremely keen; Therefore, upon hearing that Ye Qi seemed to be speaking unintentionally, Jacob immediately sensed that something was wrong; After all, he had the impression that Ye Qi was not such a 'direct' enthusiastic person in the face of strangers, and even if Ye Qi wanted to convey such good news, he would only convey it through him, and then think about those people in Sennuma District.
Such an anomaly, and then contact the urgent secret letter of the tower master of the previous holy relic. Jacob immediately had a bad premonition; Therefore. He didn't stop at all. Straight to let his guide take the people back to the bazaar to see the joyful change - after all, if there was a real battle, especially against the Holy See, he was not sure to protect his guide and the other two natives of the Thousand Swamp District; If conditions permit, no innocent people will be harmed, but this is one of the rules of the Witcher Code that all Witchers remember.
"I'm afraid it's worse than you think, Uncle Jacob!" Ye Qi let out a long sigh, without any concealment. Directly relayed the analysis that he and the Lord of the Holy Relic Tower and others had about the comeback of the Holy See to Jacob and the others-looking at the thoughtful expressions of Jacob and the others, Ye Qi said helplessly: "No one knows what means the Holy See will show; That's why I'm here urgently, and then the Athletic Tower Master will arrive! ”
"Damn the Holy See, how would you use such despicable means!" When Brace heard that the Holy See was going to use the bait of the people of Sennuma District as a 'bait', he couldn't help it, and his face turned red, and he immediately burst out: "Are their 'Divine Sayings' all lies? ”
"Of course, "God Says" will not deceive, but it will definitely not be a promise to us heretics!"
Feribel sat there and said in a somewhat dull tone—this deep voice, if it weren't for the words that Feribel had spoken when he saw it. It was hard for anyone to believe that the heartless Felibe could have such a side; Knowing what was going on, Brace couldn't help but pat his friend on the shoulder hard; The pain in his shoulder brought Feribey to his senses, immediately. After coming back to his senses, Felibe found Ye Qi with a surprised look, and immediately smiled again, and he shouted loudly: "But we heretics are definitely not easy to mess with, if they dare to come, we will kill them!" Just like it was at the beginning! ”
"This time is different!" Ye Qi shook his head - although he clearly saw Felibe's strange appearance, but for Ye Qi, who believed that everyone would have a secret, he would not ask too many questions; Therefore, after just a pause, Ye Qi looked at the leader of the excavation team: "So, I hope that before that, Uncle Jacob, you can open the door to the ruins for me, let me enter first, and find what the Holy See may be looking for in advance!" Of course, after the ruins are opened, you must also leave! ”
"Of course we're no match for the Solar level, but we can help those minions!" Tate, who was obviously extremely belligerent, was dissatisfied with Ye Qi's decision, and so was Blaise, who had the same idea, and the two looked at each other and immediately began to shout.
"I'm afraid that no pawn will come here this time!"
Ye Qi looked at the two of them who were eager, and immediately picked up a branch and began to draw on the soft ground - after a few breaths, a rudimentary, but enough map to be understood by everyone appeared in front of everyone; Ye Qi pointed to two of the dots and said, "This is the ruins where we are, and this is the bazaar!" ”
"There is no doubt that the bazaar is a gathering place of many people, not only is it garrisoned by strong men such as Lord Blank and Zaka, but also there are more than fifty demon hunters as support, plus about thirty or so local demon hunters, and almost all the people of Sennuma District; It can be said that if there is a castle, it is an easy fortress to defend and difficult to attack! ”
"That's right, compared to the outnumbered people there, there are only a few of us here; We should have stayed and helped you! Looking at the rudimentary map, Brace said; Tate on the side also nodded in agreement, but Felibe, who had always been talkative, kept silent and frowned, obviously like Jacob, who was looking at the map carefully, he had discovered something.
"The more people there are, the more support they need!"
Finally, with a long sigh, Jacob spoke: "The Holy See's favorite thing is to attack with superior forces where it thinks it is infallible in numbers; This is the case with every war; After all, for them, the power of God is unlimited, immense, and inviolable; Only with more blood can the infidel insult to the Holy See be washed away! ”
"Along with this place, the bazaar in the Sennuma District must be the target of important care for the Holy See!" Jacob summed it up: "It's just that on the one hand, the strong lead the team, and on the other hand, the strong team is formed!" ”
"Ye, are you sure?"
After summing up, Jacob looked at Ye Qi worriedly, as the adoptive father of the female cavalry captain, Jacob, who loved his daughter, didn't want his prospective son-in-law to have any accidents.
"If I can't beat it, I will definitely be able to escape; Uncle Jacob, you don't think I'm the kind of brainkiller, do you? Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "And with Lord Jemond, even if the Holy See pulls out all the so-called ascetics they have accumulated, it won't be able to trap us!" ”
"What's more, if I can find what the Holy See wants in advance and let them pounce, I won't even have to fight!" As he spoke, Ye Qi spread his hands and deliberately made a helpless look.
"Alright, I'll help you open the ruins now!"
Jacob immediately tried to stand up, but was pulled by Ye Qi, who pointed to the boiling pot full of ingredients and pointed at Brace.
"Be of good cheer, Uncle Jacob; In terms of time, we still have an advantage! So, I'd suggest we fill our stomachs and listen to Brace's stories before we start working on the ruins! ”
"Of course!"
Several people were slightly stunned, and after reacting, they all nodded immediately,
