Chapter 16: Their Persistence (Part II)
The weather in Randingburgh was always so gloomy, the morning fog was pervasive, and last night's heavy snowfall made even the most greedy dock merchant want to burrow a warm bed in the gloomy and cold weather.
The still slightly pale rocket leaned against the door of a warehouse on the dock and tapped several times according to the agreed code, and when the door opened, a small crack appeared, and immediately a dodge into it.
"How's it going, have you found the boat that left you?" The spider closed the door and immediately asked; Rocket shook his head with an ugly face: "No, the godfather has already sent someone to spread the news that the three of us are traitors, and he has also placed a bounty on the dark mercenary world, and several snakeheads near the dock have all been controlled by those guys who came with the smell of bounty."
"Where's the eraser?"
After speaking, Rocket raised his head to look at the warehouse where there was only one spider, and couldn't help but ask—although it would make Rocket, a big man, feel embarrassed to talk about it in this state of being hunted down, but after the eraser showed his heart, they had become a couple; No matter how dangerous it was, the rocket decided to take the rubber with him.
"She's also gone out to get information; Don't worry, her ability will definitely be fine" Spider understands very well that after becoming lovers, it is inseparable between men and women; However, now she doesn't have the heart to make fun of the two of them - as the backbone of the organization, she joined the idea of killing earlier than Rocket and Eraser, and she knows the style of the organization very well; Once it is determined that a member has betrayed the organization, it will definitely be eradicated and will never give up.
If His Excellency Ye Qi is here......
The moaning spider suddenly thought of Ye Qi, who had already left Landingburgh, and couldn't help but shake her head at her own unrealistic thoughts—even if she was, what could she do? What can we offer in exchange for our safety......
The door rang again, and the invisible eraser revealed its form—the eraser that had broken away from the stealth state, and his face was anxious; The spider's heart, which was already helpless, couldn't help but sink, and asked in a low voice, "What happened?" ”
"The bullet died in the forest on the outskirts of Landinburgh, and it was the chameleon's hand, but the organization decided that we united the chameleon to ...... the bullet's hand" Speaking of this, Eraser's face was already full of sadness at the moment; Rocket couldn't help but walk over and gently hugged the rubber's shoulder, his rough face was full of tenderness: "Don't worry, the situation is not as bad as you think, even if the bullet doesn't die, we will still face the pursuit of the organization, and if he dies, it will only make the organization's strength to chase and kill us weak......"
"That's right" Spider nodded, agreeing with Rocket's point of view: "Bullet is also one of the backbone members of the Order, and his death will inevitably delay the Order's plan to hunt us down; Taking advantage of this opportunity, we are going to leave Landenburg immediately."
"The waterway is not working, the whole dock has been blocked by them," Rocket frowned and thought about how to get out of Randingburg: "We can only blend in with the crowd and see if we can leave by train"
"Trains? The danger is too great, and if it's not good, we'll be encircled," Hearing the rocket's proposal, the spider couldn't help but shake his head after thinking for a moment; Rocket's rough face once again showed the curiosity he had when he challenged Ye Qi: "We are now under siege, if we don't fight, how can we escape?" Let's make a big fuss."
"Okay"
The spider hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement with the rocket's proposal; As for the eraser? Holding the big hand of the rocket, she has already acquiesced......
……
"Captain, everything has been handed over, and we can go" The young members of the Tempest-Class team asked the blonde girl, his eyes not asking for instructions based on the other's gender or age; After all, they have already tried each other's wrists and deeply understand each other's extraordinary.
"Hmm"
The blonde girl nodded slightly, but did not act immediately, but turned her head to look in one direction - he had already left, what else did I have to be nostalgic about? The question that rose in her heart made the blonde girl finally sigh and stand up.
"Later, I'll leave it to you"
"Yes"
originally held the position of secretary, but on the recommendation of the blonde girl, the former secretary has become the head of the Bay Area; However, when facing the blonde girl, she still maintains the rules she had as a secretary before - not only because of the blonde girl's recommendation, but also because of the status of the blonde girl; Even the leader of the Swift Swift Four, the lowest level of the Swift Swift Four, was something she needed to look up to; As a civilian, she was destined to not be able to join the special squad, and she was born in the Secret Service and could not enter the Senate and the House of Representatives; Therefore, the title of head of the Bay Area has come to an end for her. ,
It is absolutely impossible to move up to the next level; However, this does not prevent her from finding a promising big backer for herself, and it is clear that the blonde girl has all this - young, capable, outstanding, and has a good relationship with all parties, such a big backer, especially since she also served as the secretary of the blonde girl, and was promoted by the blonde girl, it is not an exaggeration to say that the lineage is not an exaggeration.
If she didn't grasp such conditions, then she would not have been able to join the secret service, and climb to the position of the blonde girl's secretary unharmed - the previous secretary, now the head of the Bay Area Secret Service, bowed respectfully towards the back of the blonde girl and her group, and saluted: "Your Excellency Lilith, please go all the way"
……
In the square of a small village in the middle of nowhere, leading from the dry forest to the desert, a group of children are sitting quietly around the white robe sacrifice and listening to the white robe sacrifice tell a story about the gods.
"Uncle Odo, does God really exist?"
At the end of the story, the white-robed priest had already gotten up and was ready to leave, but the children were obviously still unsatisfied, and still surrounded the white-robed sacrifice, hoping that he would tell another story; Looking at his eyes full of innocence, the white-robed priest stopped his departure and sat down again; However, a sudden voice from the group of children interrupted his train of thought.
"Don't be afraid, if the child is fine," the white-robed priest looked at the child, who had obviously become timid because of his groaning, and waved his hand with a smile; Then, after a moment's hesitation, he slowly said, "God exists in the canon, but it is undoubtedly glorified by good people; I also want God to be as it is written in the Divine Codex......"
The white-robed priest who embarked on the path of seeking his own truth has completely let go of the burden in his heart—along the way, after seeing the crime caused by poverty, the death caused by hunger, the indifference of the rich, and the disobedience of the subordinates of the Holy See, he will no longer be blinded by the aura of God; Although he still can't tell what path he wants to take, his heart, which is no longer confused, has become self-determined.
"Uncle Odo, are you a sacrifice?" Looking at the child who was cowardly before, but now has a curious face, the white-robed priest nodded gently: "Yes"
"When I grow up, I will also be a sacrifice" The child was full of childlike language, which made the white-robed priest laugh dumbly: "It is very difficult to be a qualified sacrifice; Not only must you be proficient in the Divine Law, but you must also learn how to perform the Divine Magic, which is the method of expelling the disease for you before......"
The white-robed sacrifice was explained in a language that the children could understand; After listening to the explanation of the white-robed sacrifice, the eyes of the children around them, who still had Xiyi's eyes, quickly dimmed; The child who had been asking questions before said with a frustrated face: "I just want to be like Uncle Odo, to help everyone and listen to everyone's troubles, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to ......"
Like me, help everyone and listen to everyone's troubles?
The simple and unscrupulous fairy tale is like a lightning bolt striking the white-robed sacrifice - why did I become a monk, a priest, a high priest, or even a bishop of the Holy See? Isn't it just to be able to help people and listen to everyone's troubles? Why should I cling to the existence of God or not? Don't you want to help everyone better?
A series of questions made the white-robed priest stunned in place, and he didn't react until the children who couldn't wait for him to practice tugging on his sleeves; Looking down at the group of children surrounding him with a simple and eager look, he suddenly chuckled: "Actually, you can help everyone without becoming a sacrifice, listen to everyone's troubles......"
At this moment, the only trace of attachment in the heart of the white-robed priest was completely let go - he, Odo, just wanted to help everyone and listen to everyone's troubles, whether the gods existed or not, it was the same
……
Landinburg, inside the Cathedral.
Lyman, who was standing in his ashram, had a trace of trance on his face—the person in his heart was not dead; When he saw Aja appear in front of him intact, he felt his originally dry heart come to life again; Aja, as he was back then, did not have vigilance or estrangement because of his identity as a punishing knight, and at that moment he seemed to have returned to the days when he was in a childhood orphanage, hiding behind the other party.
However, after a short meeting, it was another separation—standing on the road to Hailin, he silently watched Aja lead the people of blood glory to disappear behind the dense trees; During this period, he wanted to rush over and leave with the other party more than once, but he gritted his teeth and held back; Because, he knew that if he betrayed the Holy See and followed the other party away, it would only bring disaster to the other party. ,
Damn the Holy See
The same thing, twice stood between him and Ajah, and Lyman's heart to destroy the entire Holy See has never been as firm as it is now—Ajah, wait; The time will come soon, and I will go to you soon......
"Captain"
Outside the quiet room, Lines. Javier's voice caused Lyman to retract his thoughts, and the moment he turned to walk out of the silent room, the coldness of hatred was once again the perfect moment of punishment for the Knight Captain.
"Master Constance, let you go to the Frontrooms"
"I know the way"
Lines looked at the perfectly groomed Lyman, his eyes filled with reverence, and he followed closely behind the other and walked forward......
……
Two weeks, in an instant.
For two weeks, Ye Qi taught the apprentice apostles during the day, and spent the night making rune guns and studying the Drives of Samikina; During this period, because of Ye Qi's words, the other nineteen people in this session except for Ai Qi challenged him, and Jesse challenged him no less than ten times.
During the battle, although Ye Qi tried his best to control his own strength, the slightly immature apprentice apostles still could not win; Even if Sodick, Libes, and Jesse caused him enough trouble, but one-on-one, even in the face of Ye Qi, who was suppressing his strength, they still couldn't do it now.
In the past two weeks, Ye Qi has also had an unexpected gain in the minimum two battles per day - hand-to-hand combat has been upgraded from the previous 20 to 25, reaching the requirement that it can be catalyzed to the mastery level with skill points; The number of cold weapons experts has also increased from 8 to 10; As for making rune guns every night and studying the "Drives of Samikina", it increased his alchemy from 6 to 15; Mastery of mystical knowledge has also increased from 1 to 5......
Of course, the harvest of these skills was not Ye Qi's biggest surprise in the past two weeks - the biggest surprise was that he finally triggered the fluctuation of the soul of the holy weapon in "Samikina's Drive" yesterday, and it just so happened that yesterday the female cavalry commander also completed a week-long mission of her own patrol and auxiliary patrol; As a result, Ye Qi, who had been approved by "Samikina's Drive", moved back to the Ranger camp this morning.
As for "The Driving of Samikina", which cost him a lot of effort, it did not disappoint him.
Samikina's Drive (Seal 4): A book forged from the broken soul of Samikina, recording everything about the demon god Samikina; Those who are recognized can obtain the inheritance of Samikina, but it requires persistent research; Effects: Ossified skin, evokes necromancy, and sets up other seals unknown......
Ossified skin: Makes the skin bone-like tough; +2 Natural Armor; Samikina's drive +1 for each floor unsealed;
Summons Necromancy: Can summon five undead minions per day; The maximum number is 20; The maximum number of Samikina's Drives per stack is +20, 1 time/day.
Looking at the introduction of the system, Ye Qi knew that the resonance of "Samikina's Drive" he evoked was only preliminary, and at least there were four deeper ravines in front of him; But Ye Qi did not feel the slightest displeasure about this, but was full of joy; After all, inferring from the skills of "Samikina's Drive" given by the system, every time he unlocks a seal, his skills will become stronger, and new skills may appear.
However, looking at the skills given in "Samikina's Drive", Ye Qi deeply understood the characteristics of the Pale Lord - a simplified version of the undead king that the strange wolf once said; Although it is powerful, it is definitely a model that will be surrounded and suppressed by the righteous side as soon as it appears.
Lord of Pale, Lord of Shadows......
Thinking about the name he might get in the future, Ye Qi's mouth couldn't help but show a self-deprecating smile; And it was this shaking god that made Lancelot, who was practicing with him, seize the opportunity, and the wooden sword in his hand stabbed Ye Qi's chest.
syllable
After the crisp sound, Ye Qi stood unharmed, while the wooden sword in Lancelot's hand was broken into several pieces; Looking at the wooden sword that had been broken off in his hand, Lancelot looked at Ye Qi in disbelief and shouted loudly, "Ye, how did you do it?" Tell me if you're wearing chainmail under your clothes."
Two weeks was enough time for Ye Qi and Lancelot to get acquainted with the twelve girls; After all, the twelve of them clinged to the female cavalry commander every day in their free time; Therefore, Ye Qi, who is often inseparable from the female cavalry, can't get acquainted with the twelve girls if he wants to; And this morning, when he had just returned to the camp, he was asked by the female cavalry commander to be a sparring partner for twelve girls.
For the twelve girls who couldn't even beat the level of apprentice apostles, if it weren't for the female cavalry commander, Ye Qi wouldn't have done it at all; Moreover, even if Ye Qi agreed to the female cavalry captain, he still seemed absent-minded; After all, he has the blood of a dragon, and his skin has been given the defense of dragon scale armor, even if it is a young dragon, but it is still a dragon; Coupled with the layer of ossified skin that had just been given by "Samikina's Drive", the two were combined, even if Lancelot and other girls were holding real swords, it was estimated that they would hurt him at most, and he didn't expect to break through his defenses at all; As for the wooden sword? I guess it's just tickling......
"Okay Lancelot, I can guarantee that Ye is just wearing an ordinary single coat, without any protective gear in it" The female cavalry captain who was standing aside pulled back Lancelot, who was pestering Ye Qi, and then glanced at Ye Qi angrily, and complained in a low voice: "Is it so unworthy of you to let you and Lancelot sparring them?" ”
Obviously, Ye Qi's distraction just now was discovered by the female cavalry commander; Ye Qi looked at the female cavalry captain with anger on his face, and immediately raised his hands to make a surrender form: "No, of course, no, I'm just thinking about the apostle competition that started tonight, and I will meet those people......"
"Are you sure?" The topic of the apostle competition obviously attracted the attention of the female cavalry captain completely, and she looked at Ye Qi's eyes with a flash of worry - the competition will inevitably be damaged, even if she knows that Ye Qi is very strong, but there are not a few strong people who emerge in the apostle competition every year, and the cruelty in the ring makes her have to worry: "If you lose, it's okay."
"Are you expecting me to lose so much?" Ye Qi looked at the female cavalry captain shaking her head again and again, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, even if you have more confidence in me in the future, I will decide the champion of this year."
"B-level mission: Win the championship open; In this apostolic tournament, he won the championship ......"
