Chapter 82: The Joke
At a moment before dawn, Ye Qi woke up from his sleep - after entering the transcendent realm, Ye Qi's already little sleep became more and more scarce, and basically only two to three hours of sleep a week was enough to support his abundant vitality; And special creatures like lichs only need one to two hours of rest in a month.
However, Ye Qi was different from the rest of the legendary powerhouses of the Transcendent Realm; He will also sleep normally as long as time allows.
Of course, this is normal just for him.
After all, for the average person, just an hour of sleep after midnight is absolutely unbearable.
After waking up, Ye Qi sat cross-legged on the ground covered with wool felt, he did not immediately enter the cultivation of the [Nameless Technique], or continue to perceive the void, but put the Enma Knife on his knees, took out a piece of flannel that was kept moist in the [Dimensional Bag], and gently wiped it - it was a flannel soaked in a special liquid, which was quite beneficial to any metal.
To put it simply, it was an indispensable thing to maintain the knife - although the Enma Knife as a holy weapon did not need to do this at all, but this did not prevent Ye Qi from doing so.
After waking up, about three to five minutes, the care of the Enma Knife was basically the beginning of Ye Qi's normal day - from the scabbard to the blade, the handle to the bell, everything was carefully wiped, and then, carefully rubbing the more and more marks on the scabbard, doing his best to repair it.
Although there is nothing wrong with the Enma Knife itself, the scabbard is not a holy weapon and does not have immortal properties. Even if it's made of pure gold. After years of fighting. There will also be damage, which will also require some repair; What's more, this scabbard is only mixed with some pure gold, and more is just refined iron.
As for the shark skin that covers the scabbard?
It has long been impossible to repair, Ye Qi's needlework is not excellent, and he can't do it layer by layer; Although I once thought about replacement, I still gave up in the end.
Because, no matter how good the leather is. Nor could he cope with his ensuing battle.
At the very least, within ten years, his fight is an inevitable situation.
Click!
The blade of the Enma Knife slowly merged into the scabbard, and with a crisp sound, the faint blue light disappeared from the basement, and some small marks on the scabbard disappeared - it was not that Ye Qi had such excellent repair skills, but that the materials given by the Lord of the Tower of the Relic were excellent.
A liquid made of exactly the same material as the Enma Scabbard, kept in a special bottle so that it doesn't solidify, when needed. Just take out a little and rub it on top, after a few moments. It's as good as new – simple, practical, and so convenient that even a layman can do it skillfully.
Therefore, Ye Qi is extremely impressed by the craftsmanship of the tower master of the holy relic.
And just when Ye Qi was preparing to habitually use the [Nameless Technique] to carry out the necessary cultivation, at the end of his [Blind Fighting Perception], on the edge of the limit, there was a trace of fluctuation, a wave that almost covered the entire Ranzhi Town as soon as it appeared—undoubtedly, that kind of strong ripple could only be possessed by the legendary powerhouses of the transcendent realm.
Moreover, compared to the legendary powerhouses of the ordinary transcendent realm, this one is even more powerful.
The other party's speed was not fast, he did not run or gallop, but moved at a constant speed, about the same speed as an ordinary person walking, and he was approaching here straight - although there were no more conclusions, but the other party's 'above board' obviously did not have any malicious intent.
However, Ye Qi did not let go of the due caution.
His perception kept moving with the other party's movements, and when the other party stopped at the door of the Sandstorm Bar, he frowned - at this moment, even without [Blind Fight Perception], his keen hearing could hear the other party greeting Liebes.
Moreover, it is clear that this legendary powerhouse of the transcendent realm is a regular customer here.
After that, just as Ye Qi was about to give up his perception of the other party and continue his work, Libes came to the basement.
"Instructor, that lady has just arrived!"
As soon as he entered the basement, Libes reported straight to Ye Qi.
'That lady' is the third very mysterious target listed when looking for Heuman - although Heuman has found it, but for this third very mysterious target, Ye Qi is still quite curious, and after learning that the other party visits Chaozhi Town very regularly, he specially told Libes and Sodick, and informed him when the other party came.
Of course, Ye Qi didn't expect that the other party would be a legendary powerhouse in the transcendent realm - in the original estimate, the other party was at most a Solar level, or a lower Moonlight level peak.
And his identity should also be a resident of the town on the other side - this is Ye Qi's original guess, after all, young boys and girls have an adventurous heart in their hearts, and it is really normal for them to stay away from their homes and go to a strange place to adventure.
However, it is obvious that the identity of the other party cannot be like this now.
After all, a legendary powerhouse in the transcendent realm, even if he goes on an adventure, he will not come to Ranzhi Town; There are more suitable places on Lorante than here, whether it is the Qianmara area, the sea forest area, or the depths of this yellow sand area, it is a good choice.
"I want to meet this lady!"
The curiosity in his heart made Ye Qi say this.
"What a thing, instructor!"
Libes wasn't surprised—by the time Ye Qi told him to pay more attention, such a meeting seemed to have been set, and it was a natural one.
So, Libers nodded again and returned to the bar.
At dawn, there weren't many people in the bar, and after leaving the people involved in the bar, the only one who could be called a guest was the mysterious lady.
With a glass of mead with blueberries in his hand, Liberth glanced at Sodick and nodded to the latter. And he walked up—
"This lady. If you don't mind, please give this a try...... Although it is not a concocted liquor. But it tastes pretty good! ”
Libes put down the wine glass in a gentlemanly manner and said slowly.
The mysterious lady took a sip, and the transparent bar gently swayed in front of the smooth chin, emitting a strange light, making the lady whose whole face was hidden behind the cloak more and more indescribably beautiful—mysterious, always with a trace of chase that people could not give up easily.
However, whether it is Libes or Sodick. I know what I should do, but I won't be blinded by such mystery. Lure. Confuse.
Or rather, the mystery of the witchers themselves gives them a certain immunity.
As for the two waiters of very different statures?
They are understood in the rich life experience of Ranzhi Town, and the mystery is brought about. After seduction, bewilderment, is always accompanied by danger, so they stay away.
"It's a little sour, and the mead isn't strong enough!"
A clear, oriole-like female voice sounded under the cloak, making people squint their eyes - a nice voice. The good-looking appearance is like a beautiful scenery. It's always a memorable return; And the mysterious lady in front of her, the voice she showed made people want to see what kind of appearance it was, so that she could be worthy of such a look.
Fortunately, however, everyone present had their own persistence.
Didn't take the liberty of making such a move.
"Are you closed today?"
The mysterious lady couldn't help but ask, looking at Sodick and the two waiters who had exited.
"No, just a lord who wants to see you......" Libes explained everything as he stood beside the lady with his head bowed, "of course, please don't get me wrong, this lord has a noble character, he has no malice, and he will not embarrass you, but he is a little curious!" ”
"What if I don't want to see it?"
The mysterious lady's tone suddenly became unpleasant.
"Of course, we won't force you!"
Libes replied respectfully.
Libers didn't mean to deceive the lady, but the fact - witchers, for the most part, don't force people, especially if they're curious.
After all, not creatures of darkness, they couldn't be too concerned.
What's more, the other party will stay here for a while, and if you want to meet by chance, there are really a lot of opportunities; And the reason why the invitation was sent was only because Ye Qi didn't want to be abrupt - according to Libes's description, the other party was not a good-natured existence.
And after Libes finished speaking, he felt a sharp gaze fall on his body, although he could not see the other party's eyes, but he could be sure that this gaze came from under the cloak, belonging to the mysterious lady - although he had admitted before that he was not the opponent of the other party, but when this sharp gaze fell on his body, he could not move, Libers understood the gap between the two sides.
Sweat uncontrollably falls from the forehead and back.
And just when the sweat was about to fall into his eyes along the bridge of his nose, the sharp gaze disappeared, and Libes regained his mobility, he subconsciously wiped the sweat in front of his eyes and forehead, and said with a wry smile: "We really don't have any malice!" ”
"If you had malicious intentions, you would have died a long time ago!"
The mysterious lady said.
"Thank you for your mercy!"
Libes said helplessly, and when he saw Ye Qi walk in, he immediately walked outside the bar - in fact, if he could, Libes wanted to leave before, and the feeling of being standing next to a tiger was too difficult.
No, it should be more terrifying than a tiger!
After all, even if it is a real tiger, he will not be afraid.
……
Ye Qi walked into the bar, looked at the small round table with only one person, and walked straight over.
Tuk, tuk!
He didn't sit down immediately, but tapped lightly on the table and said, "Can I sit down and talk?" After all, standing always makes me feel like I'm back to some unpleasant part-time job! ”
The mysterious lady nodded, "Yes!" ”
"Thank you!"
Ye Qi smiled and sat opposite the other party.
After that, the two did not speak again, but looked at each other. The sights of both sides were sharp with an unimaginable level. Like a sword, you come and go; Merely. Ye Qi suffered a little - it was not a matter of strength, but the other party's cloak.
It should be a fairly high-level magic item, not only blocking Ye Qi's sight, but also Ye Qi's perception, making it impossible for Ye Qi to find out the other party's appearance at all; And he is wearing an apostolic trench coat, and his appearance is unobstructed when the hood is not on.
This one is clear at a glance, and the other cannot be seen through. Naturally, there is a difference between high and low.
After about three minutes, the mysterious lady was the first to withdraw her gaze, apparently believing that she had gained the upper hand she deserved.
And Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders indifferently - such a fight, falling into the disadvantage is nothing; After all, they are not really hostile relationships.
"Want to hear a joke?"
Suddenly, the mysterious lady asked Ye Qi like this.
"Alright! I love jokes! ”
Ye Qi nodded without surprise, and then adjusted his sitting posture, waiting for the other party to start talking-when Libes introduced the other party's situation before, the other party's habits. Ye Qi already knew the way clearly.
"Once upon a time there was a match, and it felt an itch in its head. Tickle and set yourself on fire! ”
The mysterious lady spoke very seriously and seriously, and Ye Qi listened very solemnly, but when the other party started, Ye Qi was stunned, and then, he subconsciously scratched his head - Ye Qi didn't find a real laugh in it, but felt a little cold.
And Ye Qi, who felt that the other party was looking forward to his laughter, couldn't help but smile bitterly and glanced at his head scratching hand, and said, "I should be glad that I wasn't that match?" ”
Cold, embarrassing......
"I don't think there's any need for us to talk anymore!"
The mysterious lady said slowly.
"Well, I think we do have quite a problem in communication!"
Ye Qi nodded, and then, standing up and preparing to leave—the purpose of his coming here was because of curiosity, and now although curiosity is still there, it has weakened to a point where it is dispensable; Therefore, leaving is not a very good option.
As for the rest?
Confirm that the other party is really not hostile, then it is enough.
"Wait!"
Just as Ye Qi stood up, the mysterious lady suddenly spoke, and Ye Qi stopped and looked at the other party.
"Are you laughing at my jokes?"
The mysterious lady asked.
"Of course not, why do you think that?"
Ye Qi immediately denied it - Ye Qi did not forget Libes's reminder; Those who had laughed at the lady's jokes did not end well; And before the upcoming Moon Celebration, Ye Qi wants to do more to recharge his energy than to have a senseless fight.
Or rather, to create an enemy that is not necessary.
Therefore, Ye Qi paused and began to explain: "You see, I just said that we have some problems in communication, not about jokes, it doesn't have any problems in itself, it's just a communication problem, which makes us have a misunderstanding, it's not big, it's all within the acceptable range!" ”
Ye Qi's explanation, obviously, did not achieve the desired effect, the mysterious lady's aura was changing rapidly, and the churning fluctuations in it made Ye Qi, who had [Blind Fighting Perception], understand that it seemed that his explanation not only did not produce the corresponding effect, but had the opposite effect.
"Communication problems? Do you mean that there is no problem with the joke itself, it's just that the person who tells it again, there is a problem? ”
The mysterious lady's understanding inexplicably took a fork in the road.
"You know, that's not what I meant!"
Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile.
"We have a communication problem, do you think I can understand your explanation?"
The mysterious lady sneered.
"So, what do you think we should do now?"
Ye Qi spread his hands and asked.
"Two choices—1, you tell me a joke that makes me laugh; 2. Take out your strength, and we will 'communicate' in a more direct way! ”
The mysterious lady said unusually simply.
"I'll pick 1!"
Ye Qi said equally directly.
Immediately, the mysterious lady made a gesture of deafness.
"A gentleman and a lady slept in the same room, in a bed, and the lady drew a line on the bed—it was the beast that crossed the line; When I woke up, I found that the gentleman really didn't cross the line, and the lady slapped the gentleman hard: You are not as good as a beast! ”
Ye Qi recalled the few jokes in his mind, and then, picking out one that he thought was funny, and told it.
"Is this a joke? I think the gentleman should return the slap in the face to the lady - if you want to, draw that line for what? The mysterious lady commented, "Bitch character! ”
"Isn't it funny?"
Ye Qi heard the other party's evaluation, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"It seems that we really have some problems communicating in terms of language!"
After nodding, the mysterious lady stood up and walked towards the outside of the bar, and at the same time the voice came again: "I hope we can communicate more directly, and we can solve our problem of language communication!" ”
"I hope so!"
Ye Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes.
PS The first more ~~~
It seems to be post-holiday syndrome, sitting in front of the computer in the morning in a decadent morning, all kinds of distractions, and some messy things keep popping up in my head; It wasn't until the afternoon that it was a little better, but when I finished the manuscript and looked at the watch, my decadent face was green!!
Because, there is another chapter to say!!
Decadent speed rolls back to the second chapter, by the way: "Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward, ask for protection!" (To be continued......)
