The afternoon negotiations, at two o'clock, began on time; The cardinal archbishop sat quietly in his seat as in the morning, and handed everything over to his deputy, Zola; The other deputy, Lyman, was also the same as the morning negotiation, his eyes were looking straight at everything, and his body in the chair was straight, but he did not say a word, like a sculpture.

Everything was like the negotiation in the morning, the two sides began an inch-fringe war around their respective positions, and Ye Qi, who was only sitting there with half-squinted eyes, had a completely different mind from the morning - the words of the cardinal archbishop Tkavich still echoed in his heart to this day, containing surprise; At this moment, Ye Qi can be sure that the cardinal archbishop mentioned the same thing when he went to meet the tower master of the moonlit night last night; Although I don't know what the answer of the tower master of the moonlit night is, according to Ye Qi's guess, the result should be biased towards 'his answer'.

After all, as a witcher, it would be a blessing to be able to lose such a great enemy as the Holy See—and similarly, if he could get rid of this greatest enemy of the future in other ways, then Ye Qi would naturally be happy to do so; However, the question now is, how long has the cardinal's plan begun? Or to put it another way, how many people have been contacted?

If it was just a few high-ranking officials at the Demon Hunter Headquarters, then Ye Qi didn't have any hope at all for this plan - with the power of the Inquisition director in the Holy See at the moment, if the cardinal archbishop naively thought that contacting a few foreign aids would be able to overthrow the other party's rule, then it was really a joke. And it's the kind of joke that is very not funny; If that's really the case. Ye Qi could even predict the final tragic fate of the cardinal: after his honor, status, and rights were completely stripped away. Directly put to death!

If you are lucky, you will also defect - the rest of your life will be hunted down by the entire Holy See like a rat crossing the street!

I mean an opportune opportunity, an opportunity that coincides enough to regenerate the Holy See, but not to plunge the whole of Lorant into the quagmire of war......

The words that the other party said resurfaced in Ye Qi's mind again, making Ye Qi unconsciously figure out the meaning - obviously, the other party's sentence is definitely not an assumption, but an affirmation; Whether it's the tone of voice or the expression of the other person's voice. All of this says so.

And to be able to make the other party have such a certain certainty, it must be that the other party is sure that in the near future, a great change will take place in the Holy See - no matter what this great change will be, the other party is obviously sure to complete its own ideals from it!

"Was that a bonus? Seriously, it's one of the few good news I've heard in hundreds of years! "As the other party to the contract, Ye Qi and Tkavic's secret conversation at noon naturally can't hide from the strange wolf; And at this moment, the strange wolf is expressing his feelings with excitement.

"It's just news, I don't think you should be so excited until it becomes a fact!" Ye Qi expressed his suggestion very considerably: "And. I think with that excitement in mind, you might as well think about how to face your old rival! Of course. I mean, in the current state! ”

Although Ye Qi already has a rough search method for the remaining statues of the strange wolf, as Ye Qi just said, when there are no facts in front of him, it is all illusory, and it should not make people feel so excited—and Ye Qi, who is used to listing the best case, worst case, and general situation three different solutions before doing anything again, naturally cannot take everything for granted.

However, this time it was clearly not his own business; Therefore, some inevitable situations naturally require a certain amount of communication between the two parties.

"In its current state?"

After a rhetorical question, the strange wolf was rarely silent; Ye Qi, who knew that the other party was thinking, chose to wait for the other party's answer, and also remained silent; Ten minutes later, the strange wolf spoke again.

"If we assume that we are in the current state, our odds of winning are less than 10%!" The strange wolf's lazy tone was completely replaced by seriousness at the moment, and it explained his current state in the most understandable way for Ye Qi: "My ability, the ability of the three most important parts, has not been unsealed; In such a state, if I face that guy, I will simply face the legendary realm at the moonlight level; Even if it's bad luck, it's ten deaths! ”

"Do you remember when I said that my abilities were divided into nine and represented all parts of my body?" Looking at Ye Qi, who nodded, the strange wolf continued: "And from the beginning to the present, you have found my body, left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg and eyes! Although these are indispensable parts of breaking the seal, they are infinitely less important than those that have not been found! ”

"Every time I hear your description like this, I always feel that you have encountered a perverted murderer, who is completely in a state of being dismembered after death!" After expressing his feelings about the strange wolf's situation with his own understanding, Ye Qi asked, "Then what are the remaining parts?" ”

"Horns, hearts, wings!"

The strange wolf replied very dryly.

"The heart is the heart; But your horns? Isn't it only demons or devils who have horns? If there are wings, it is the winged ......" Ye Qi had to replenish himself in the face of such a simple answer as the strange wolf; However, the result of the addition made Ye Qi raise his eyebrows: "Don't tell me that you not only have demonic or devil-like horns, but also have wings similar to bats!" It's a complete evil god! ”

"You're the evil god! I, Amunke...... My horn represents my crown, the symbol of my king; And the wings are my scepter, the symbol of my right to travel; Do you understand? The strange wolf who said this stopped abruptly and turned to explain for Ye Qi - Ye Qi was not surprised by this, in fact. Every mention of the past. This fellow of his contract would start to change the subject under various pretexts; Not even a single thing was leaked to him.

Though. For such concealment, Ye Qi will naturally be curious, but abide by the bottom line of both parties, but with the contract, he and the strange wolf can get along happily; For such a foundation, Ye Qi will not destroy the point at will because of his curiosity.

"Literally, I understand it very well; But I don't understand the actual meaning! ”

Ye Qi replied with so.

"What it actually means. That is, literally; As they represent, if we find my horns and my wings, our odds will increase by thirty percent; And if I find my heart, the odds will increase by 10%! The strange wolf didn't give Ye Qi an explanation, but talked about the importance of the statue represented by the remaining three parts, and it paused slightly: "Actually, as long as I find the horns, hearts, and wings, even if there are no other parts, I can use time to gather enough strength to break through the seal!" ”

"Is that so?! It seems that these three things represent something for you. It's really important! ”

Ye Qi said slowly-after the strange wolf's subconscious emphasis, of course Ye Qi would not believe it. Literally, it means to actually explain such an answer; Ye Qi can be sure that there is a certain meaning hidden in it; After all, according to the relationship with his contract companion, the other party naturally hides extremely valuable secrets whenever he avoids the important and light.

It's just that it is naturally not easy to dig out such a valuable secret from the other party's mouth - although most of the time, the other party is like a chatter, but when faced with truly valuable information, it is like an iron general guarding the door, and he will not reveal a word at all; Unless, he will pay the corresponding benefits.

"As a former ...... Naturally, these are very important to me! And for you, it's also very important! After all, we are grasshoppers on a rope now, and I am unlucky, and you are ......also unlucky," the strange wolf looked like a scoundrel: "So, in order for everyone to live safely and happily, I think you should go on to find my statue!" ”

"Safety, happiness? After signing a contract with you again, the existence depicted by these two words has long been far away from me! Ye Qi pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and ignored the strange wolf's next unnutritious nagging - for Ye Qi, it was completely a bunch of nonsense from people who were old and whose memories were beginning to be confused; Compared to such nonsense, he is not as interesting as coming to observe the negotiations at the moment.

At the very least, Ted, the cold-faced man, and Zola, who are the two sides of the negotiation, will cite arguments even if they have been arguing on one thing; Instead of a strange wolf, it was like a repeater, flipping through it just to say something he'd heard countless times.

……

The Land of the Seals, the Hall of Bluestone.

The strange wolf lying lazily on the ground looked at the three remaining pillars of fire in front of him that rose to the sky and sank straight into the endless starry sky, and couldn't help but yawn long-

"Really, I almost leaked my mouth if I was not careful!" In the yawn, the strange wolf muttered to himself in a vague voice: "Although if this guy grows up at the current speed, sooner or later he will know the meaning of the Dao, but if he knows the Dao in advance, it is not a good thing!" ”

"What's more, if you know the Tao in advance, the transactions that may exist at that time will have to be ruined!" The strange wolf who said to himself shook his head straightly: "No, no, you must be careful in the future; After all, this little guy has escaped the mortal realm! ”

Perhaps, find a chance to remind him? Let him grow faster?

No, this little guy's bloodline is too special; I still haven't figured out where it came from......

If you don't figure it out, you will change the original trajectory of the little guy at will; Estimate the source of that bloodline......

It's better to let him develop on his own!

Anyway, judging from the current situation, this little guy, the path he chose by himself is also very good!

Such a thought involuntarily appeared in the heart of the strange wolf - before he completely recovered his strength, the strange wolf didn't want to make trouble; Moreover, even if it completely recovers its strength, under the premise of having the existence of that old opponent, it must also pull together all the forces that can be pulled together to deal with its old opponent.

And the bloodline on its contract person is obviously a force that is very worthy of being wooed!

……

When the sun was already setting in the west, a faint sound of joy began to be heard. The first day of negotiations came to an end—after the Holy See was willing to pay an additional 150,000 Kimpton. The witchers, on their part, gave up their pursuit of the former presiding judge; In a word. This is an outcome that is acceptable to both parties.

And when he heard the final result, Ye Qi was full of surprise at the wealth of the Holy See, and he also sincerely admired the skill of the director of the Inquisition-no wonder so many people in the Holy See were willing to devote themselves to his command, just with the handwriting of these 150,000 Kimptons, it was enough to make some people in the Holy See willing to die.

Ye Qi could well imagine when today's news reached the interior of the Holy See. What will change—not only will the scapegoated Chester lean over the inquisition with gratifying eyes, but even others will be more inclined to the inquisitionist; After all, who wouldn't want to have someone who would be willing to do everything in their power to save the lives of their subordinates?

150,000 kimptons is not much in the numbers alone, but if you count the kimptons, it is enough to surprise anyone; After all, in the Witchers' Guild, Solar Witchers can only receive a subsidy of one million bills per year - and Kimpton's exchange with ordinary banknotes is basically at a value of 1:200; That is to say, the million bills that seemed to be a huge fortune were exchanged for Kimpton, which was only about five thousand Kimptons; But. The 5,000 Kimpton is enough to make anyone a little rich, even in a city like Summerwood. It's all about spending a lifetime with ease.

What's more, needless to say, 150,000 Kimptons!

This money, even in the eyes of the average rich man, is a heart-warming number - just like Doug's father, the Doug family, who is famous for running an antique business, I am afraid that the assets of the entire family, if they add up, are only this number.

The purpose of this huge amount of money had already been decided before the negotiations began—except for the relief of the demon hunters who died in the Chinuma District, and the rest was given to the head of the Chinuma District; Whether it was the other party's people who died in that battle, or the bazaar that was being built, there was no doubt that the money was needed even more.

"Ye, how about a drink in the evening?"

Towards the end of the first day of negotiations, the tension between the two sides had eased slightly, and as he said goodbye to the Holy See and his party, Ted proposed to Ye Qi as he walked out.

"It's not that I'm not bad at drinking, but if I drink with you, I'll be the one who gets drunk!"

Ye Qi deliberately embarrassed and tactfully declined Ted's invitation.

"It's a midsummer night! It's a day of celebration! Ted stopped, pointed to the loud and loud voices outside, and pointed, "Listen, the boys down there are already getting ready to go to Shak's city, if you don't hurry, the Dolphin Bar will be full!" ”

"It's because of Midsummer Night that I can't drink with you!"

Looking at the trainee apostles gathered in groups below, Ye Qi still shrugged his shoulders in embarrassment.

"For what?"

"Captain Els!"

Ted's questioning was interrupted by the cold-faced man's answer; After hearing such an answer, Ted slapped his forehead and nodded suddenly; However, the next moment he seemed to think of something, and grabbed Ye Qi, who was about to leave: "Hey, I remember that Captain Elsie has a duty mission today, right?" Even if you go, according to Captain Els's temper, I won't go to a party with you! Are you going to stand next to Captain Elsie like this and accompany her on duty? ”

Ye Qi didn't answer, but the silence was undoubtedly a tacit acquiescence.

"Okay, okay!" Ted looked helpless, but he didn't let go of Ye Qi's arm: "Since that's the case, then we should go for a drink; You won't get apple pie or mead next to Captain Els; Have a drink and go to Captain Els, after all, you'll be together all night! ”

"Then let's have a drink!"

Faced with such a stubborn request, Ye Qi pretended to be reluctant to agree.

"Nofa, have a drink? Than has been tense face, today is a midsummer night! Ted patted the cold-faced man on the shoulder vigorously and said loudly, "Besides, we've had a busy day, shouldn't we go and relax?" ”

"Alright, alright, as long as you stop the palm you slapped on my shoulder first!"

The cold-faced man took two steps back, also looking helpless.

"Hahaha, then let's go change and let's go!"

With a loud laugh, Ye Qi and his party said goodbye to Cardinal Tkawich and Lyman beside him again, and then let Ted leave.

"Midsummer Eve, it's a rare festival, you can also go to the party!"

Looking at Ye Qi and his party in the distance, Tkavic looked at the people around him with a smile unique to the elders, and said slowly—including the five accompanying personnel.
