Chapter 17: Little Fish? Big fish? middle
"Okay, looks like your business is settled! So, now let's get back to our topic! Without any hesitation, the stand-in followed Ye Qi's voice and said, "What do you want to know?" One question, one diamond! ”
"Otherwise, even if you kill me, I won't say a word!"
After a pause, the stand-in said emphatically; And this is because of this sentence, so that the young papal leader, who was already ready to give the mercenary who didn't know how to do it again, couldn't help but stop—he had far more experience than his peers, but he still lacked time to sharpen, so that the young papal leader couldn't help but look forward to something in the face of some major events that were enough to determine his life, and even suffered from gains and losses; For example, at this moment, if it was in normal times, he would definitely directly break the other party's hands or legs as punishment, and then continue to ask him what he wanted to know; And this is quite in line with the approach of an experienced veteran, in the face of any provocation belonging to the captive, they will not hesitate to use thunderous means, the other party is fiercely 'drilled', and then get what they want.
It's a pity that although the young papal leader in front of him has a certain amount of experience, he is not yet at the level of a veteran - after the stand-in who followed Ye Qi's lines silently recited the last sentence was spoken, the young papal leader changed his original plan; He narrowed his eyes, blocking the fierce light in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "No problem, I will guarantee one diamond for one problem!" ”
Faced with such an answer, whether it was the stand-in or Ye Qi who was hiding aside. They were all slightly relieved - as the former. Naturally, I was glad that I had been spared the unnecessary pain of flesh and skin; After all. He is not a special hobby, how could he like to be beaten for no reason; Or even more serious injuries?
As Ye Qi, he felt relaxed for the sake of his plan to continue within an acceptable range—within the scope of his ability, he didn't want the stand-in in front of him to suffer some lifelong regrets; If such a situation arises, he will have to strike; And the situation in front of him is undoubtedly not the best time for him to make a move; Although he brought out the people of the Holy See, it was clearly not the people he wanted to wait for.
As for the purpose of this Holy See, Ye Qi has not yet been clear. But in the bottom of my heart, there are already a few condensed targets that the Holy See may shoot; And any of these goals are undoubtedly beyond the reach of the young 'next generation' of the Holy See in front of him—perhaps, he has strong beliefs and outstanding abilities; But it is definitely not to the point of being highly respected or strong enough to convince the public; Especially the hesitation of his stand-in in front of him before, and the lack of experience unique to young people, made Ye Qi understand that the young Holy See leader in front of him was probably the same level as the priest with a knife who was beheaded by him before, and they all belonged to the level of middle and low-level executors and leaders of this Holy See plan.
In Ye Qi's inference, the chief executor of the Holy See's plan should be at least the level of bishop and high priest; If the Holy See's target is the canyon he guessed was the seat of the Solar-level powerhouse in the Witcher's headquarters. Then the rank of the chief executor should be raised to another level - the presence of the cardinal archbishop or the presiding judge is the most correct way; After all, facing the Solar class. The only one that can deal with it is the Solar class.
Of course, given that the canyon in the unexplored area was completely under the control of the witchers, Ye Qi didn't think too much that the Holy See would come for a useless canyon; However, this did not prevent Ye Qi from speculating about the identity of the general executor of the Holy See's plan; After all, there are at least two Solar-level powerhouses in the Demon Hunter headquarters here, and if the Holy See only sends people of this level in front of them to complete such a plan, then the Holy See is really not worthy of being an existence that once ruled an era; It has long been destroyed.
Tell the other person that as a sincere person, the other party can ask a question first; But then you have to be sent to safety!
Through the communication technique, using the power of magic, Ye Qi once again said in the ear of his stand-in - if he wants to find out the purpose of the Holy See's re-entry into the Thousand Swamp District this time, Ye Qi is undoubtedly more inclined to the latter than to find out the executor of the real plan; After all, as long as the latter is found, everything is clear to the former; Even, even if you don't know, you can kill the latter, so that the former will be stillborn and finish the game directly.
However, Ye Qi knew very well that if he wanted to accomplish such a level, he would undoubtedly need some cooperation, and it would not be possible to achieve it overnight - but, fortunately, he now had a good 'opponent' to help him complete all this, and the young man of the other party, as well as his previous performance, were enough for Ye Qi to have a rough grasp of his plan.
After all, for a young man who is eager to prove himself, especially when this young man still has quite outstanding abilities, give the other party a chance to make meritorious contributions, as long as he approves of it, then he will be convinced, this is a common disease of these young people with outstanding abilities, a disease that needs time to be sharpened and cured - and now, what Ye Qi has to do is to make the other party recognize what his stand-in said.
"To show my sincerity, you can ask a question first!" According to Ye Qi, the stand-in replied in a mercenary-specific tone: "However, after this question, we must go to a place that I think is safe before we can continue with the following Q&A!" ”
Greedy for life and afraid of death!
Where do you think it's safe? That bazaar?
The young head of the Holy See, who had already agreed to the mercenary in front of him, heard the other party's supplement, and the disdain in his heart resurfaced again-looking at the other party's strong appearance, he couldn't help but want to sneer a few times; Undoubtedly, the other party's performance was the same as he expected, and what he did before had obviously made the other party feel uneasy; It's just that the other party wants to hold on to show his 'value', and even as long as he hesitates for a moment before, the other party may have knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
With such thoughts, the young head of the Holy See once again returned to his previous indifference in his expression. The tone has also reverted to that kind of overlook. He said clearly: "Yes!" ”
"So. Your Excellency, may I? The stand-in honestly relayed.
"What did you see in that ruins last night?" The young head of the Holy See reiterated in an aggravated voice: "I don't want those versions that are spread outside, I need the truth!" Don't lie to me, or ......"
"No problem, no problem!" In the other party's words, the stand-in shivered in panic, but after hesitating for a moment, he said intermittently: "This, this question, in fact, includes many things; So. Can you ......?"
"Humph!"
Looking at the appearance of the mercenary in front of him with no lower limit of greed, the young leader of the Holy See couldn't help but snort coldly, and after seeing the other party shiver again under his cold snort, he threw a diamond in his hand in front of the other party again with satisfaction - to be honest, this young man of the Holy See is very satisfied with everything now; Although he has not yet received anything substantial, what he wants, the rhythm is firmly in his hands; Therefore. The young man was very convinced that it would only take a moment. He will be able to get what he wants to know.
Without any hesitation, Ye Qi's stand-in played the true character of a mercenary and pounced straight on the diamond; After moving this diamond under his chest along with the previous one, he raised his head and said flatteringly to the young head of the Holy See in front of him: "Your generosity allows you to get everything you want!" ”
"You know how difficult it is for an outsider to make a living in the Thousand Ponds; Therefore, in order to survive better, I will never let go of any opportunity; For example, hearing some gunshots or something on the big night! The mercenary said very neatly according to Ye Qi's relay, without a little stammering: "I originally went there, just to see if I could find something valuable nearby; After all, according to my inquiry, the ruins are surrounded by swamps because of the harsh environment, and there are always some unfriendly people......"
Hearing the words of the mercenary in front of him, the young papal leader couldn't help but nodded, what the other party said was basically the same as he guessed - as a foreign mercenary, it was absolutely impossible to go to that kind of harsh environment in the wilderness without accepting the task; The only explanation is that the other party has a plan; And there are very few things that can make the mercenaries plot and are still in the field, and this young head of the Holy See can think of what it is just by guessing.
Black eats black!
This kind of behavior is very common among mercenaries, especially in the Senmara District, and it happens every few days—so the young papal leader had speculated about the behavior of the mercenary in front of him, and now it was only confirmed; As for the fact that someone leaked the meeting between that colleague of his and the two leaders of the Underground World Realm in the Thousand Pond District?
The young papal head would not have feared such a situation at all; In addition to his trust in the colleague's firm beliefs, he was sure that the location had been chosen by the other party on the fly; After all, having received a notice of a meeting in the morning and an answer in the afternoon, in such a short period of time, it was simply impossible to premit; Especially in the face of such a 'big event', the two leaders on the other side would not bring anyone else except their own henchmen, so the young leader was very sure that the mercenary in front of him appeared here by coincidence.
In fact, the young head of the Holy See was basically right in his guesses; If it weren't for the remnants of the power of faith there, Ye Qi would not have appeared in that ruin, and happened to run into the Holy See's operatives - for the guesses and reactions that the other party might have, Ye Qi had already prepared before the news of the walk in the bar; And made several countermeasures and programs; And the kind of thing that Ye Qi is facing at this moment is what Ye Qi wants most; After all, in the face of such young people, you only need to constantly 'enhance' the other party's 'self-confidence', then it will come naturally in the end, and it is not like some veterans who are wary of the other party's vigilance that will appear at any time according to the dialogue.
"However, I didn't expect to encounter such a big scene!"
When he said this, the stand-in who silently recited the lines showed a palpitating expression very cooperatively, even Ye Qi, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but sigh, he really deserved to be on the chameleon's side; If it weren't for Zhilu Dao that this was acting, I'm afraid he would have been deceived from him.
"Well, I know the big scene like that. I want to know the second half of the road! You have something to hide! ”
Looking at the mercenary's heart-wrenching appearance. The young head of the Holy See waved his hand impatiently—perhaps for other ordinary people. Even if a mercenary is on the verge of life and death, it is unacceptable to die more than 20 people in a row at a time, but for an elite like him who has been cultivated by the Holy See's Inquisition, he is very calm; After all, their selection itself was carried out in the sea of corpses and blood; As one of those good enough, the young head of the Holy See had enough achievements to shock the rest of his contemporaries; So, for the big scene in the mouth of the other party. The young head of the Holy See didn't want to know about the Dao at all, he just wanted to know the Dao, and the part that the other party had hidden.
As a matter of knowing these mercenaries, the young papal leader did not believe the so-called 'facts' that had been disseminated among the mercenaries in the outside world at the moment, and although the mercenaries had been paid a certain amount in the bar, the young papal leader was more willing to believe that the other party was still hiding the most important part, or misleading the most important part - it was not unusual, getting double Kimpton, or even more Kimpton, which was originally sought by the mercenaries; Isn't it?
"Yes, yes, you're really discerning!"
Complimenting the young man in front of him. The stand-in's eyes couldn't help but look at the black-clothed deacon behind the other party.
"What's wrong? Do you still have any grievances against my subordinates? ”
I know what this mercenary wants to express. The young head of the Holy See did not break it, but said knowingly - the young head of the Holy See was quite satisfied with the performance of his temporary subordinate before, but some of the subsequent performances made him quite disappointed; In front of himself, he didn't understand the severity.
No wonder he is capable, but still a deacon!
The young man who had such an idea immediately looked down on the black-clothed deacon more and more - although he needed to rely on the other party's ability to accomplish what he wanted to do, but at this moment the thing he wanted to do was about to be completed; And the other party also exposed mistakes that he could not tolerate; Marginalizing the other is not a big deal in the eyes of this young man; After all, he is an elite with unlimited prospects, and the other party is just a person who is middle-aged but still a deacon level bottom.
Perhaps this meeting is the last collaboration between the two; In the face of such a temporary subordinate, why should he have so many scruples?
Therefore, the young head of the Holy See squinted and waited for the mercenary in front of him to answer—and after the young superior asked what he said, the black-clad deacon immediately knew that something was wrong; He knew very well that this was the 'revenge' of his young boss, although he would not be really done, but the credit this time would undoubtedly be erased, and perhaps it would be shared among the other two colleagues outside the cave, or it might be directly attributed to the other party's own body, but there was no doubt that this credit had nothing to do with him.
In this regard, the black-clothed deacon couldn't help but feel a burst of anger rising from the bottom of his heart, but he was immediately suppressed by him - the experience of middle age made him very clear that this was not the time for him to get angry, as long as he didn't want to be labeled as a 'rebel god';
After thinking about it, the black-clothed deacon stood there like this, watching the performance of his young boss; However, his heart was full of disdainful sneers - he had seen too many such young people, but each one did not end well, and he was very eager to see what the other party's fate was!
"No, no! Of course I don't dare, it's just such precious news that I think anyone other than Your Excellency and me, the narrator, ......"
The stand-in looked at the person in front of him, looking sincerely frightened; And such words were very comfortable for the 'confident' young man in front of him, he did not object to the mercenary's words, but just turned his head to look at his subordinates, and the black-clothed deacon, who had been mentally prepared, nodded very calmly.
"Yes, sir!"
With that, the black-robed deacon went outside; However, he didn't see behind him, his young boss, looking at his unusually crisp, cheerful figure, and the strange glint in his squinted eyes—how could he simply agree? Is it because you have been prepared? Or is it because of ......
After a series of speculations, the young leader finally flashed a cold in the depths of his heart—although the Inquisition was sacred, it was not good, and any disobedience would be regarded as rebellion; Especially a temporary subordinate, such a person, does not need to care at all.
After death, you can enter the temple of the Holy Spirit, which is God's mercy!
The young man who had made up his mind retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at the mercenary in front of him, and said slowly, "Now you can say it, right?" ”
"Of course, of course!"
Under Ye Qi's guidance, the stand-in immediately nodded again and again.
