Chapter Seventy-Four: News and Waiting

"Is this my obligation?"

Looking at the invitation in front of him, the little man who had been drinking all night couldn't help but rub his eyes; Then, he immediately pointed to the invitation in front of him with no confusion and said, "This should be the invitation given to you by the Nosd family, right?" And you're going to let me and Mori go on your behalf? ”

After seeing Ye Qi nodding without hesitation, the little man couldn't help but sigh and hugged his head, which was already a dull pain—if it was only a faint pain before, then now there is no doubt that the pain is unbearable; For those aristocratic banquets, the little man from the merchant background is not unfamiliar, and even quite familiar with it. {}

Ideally, the little man's parents were very keen to take him to aristocratic banquets; And after the first few novelties have passed, the little man is completely interested in this kind of monotonous banquet in which men talk about their careers, seek collaboration, and invest in companions, women compare with each other, and children show off to each other; For a long time after that, I always looked for various reasons to refuse to participate in these banquets, which were extremely enviable to ordinary people.

"Can't you let Maury go alone?"

With the last bit of hope, the little man looked at his friend - as for Ava and the big man? One is taciturn, the other is honest and unspoken, he is not a candidate to participate in this kind of banquet at all, even if he goes, he is just an existence for the number of people, and such a banquet with a clear meaning, it is not enough to act as a number of people.

Like Ye Qi, the little man understood the hidden meaning of this invitation the moment he saw it; However, it was precisely because of this understanding that he did not want to go more and more—whether it was the Nosd family, or the supreme zhèngfu, or perhaps the demon hunter guild he represented, the arbitrary existence of one of the three would only make the already monotonous banquet in his memory more and more monotonous; Needless to say, all three are now happening at the same time.

Therefore, even if you know that you can't. The little man couldn't help but hope that there would be a glimmer of hope; However, apparently this glimmer of hope was completely extinguished in the next moment-

"Maury is not a demon hunter, so he can't represent my identity as the head of the demon hunter branch at all!"

Ye Qi chuckled and patted his friend's shoulder. "Ted has sent a letter from Lord Hessel, we just need to keep the status quo; Therefore, it is very complicated, endure it and it will pass! And. With Murray as an assistant, I'm sure you'll have a lot easier! ”

"Of course, I'll go if I can! But before, I was invited! "Look at the little man who is unfortunate and looks at me. Ye Qi, who sighed for a long time, said the most powerful reason to convince Xing: "Lyman asked me to be a notary for his duel with Javier!" That's what Lyman told me just now, just before I called you upstairs! ”

Although this reason was received at the moment before he called the little man down, in order to get out smoothly, Ye Qi didn't mind discarding the original excuse while changing the order of receipt between the two - although Ye Qi very much wanted not to shirk his due responsibility based on his own likes and dislikes, but in the face of such a banquet that was fundamentally related to life and death, and even had no importance in his eyes, anyone went to the same banquet. He still wished someone could attend in his place.

"Lyman and Javier? Javier? Javier? It's Lines. That green knight! ”

Without knowing the reason for this, the little man's attention was attracted by the surname of his friend; For this unfamiliar surname, the little man shook his head, which had become a little heavy from alcoholism, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly remembered the knight he had seen before, and he was covered in green flames; Then, I couldn't help but shake my head. "Is that guy really a fool?" In the face of the murderer who 'killed' him, he would actually approve of the duel? With the strength he has now. It's completely easy to get revenge! ”…,

Obviously, for the green knight who only had a one-sided relationship. The impression of the little man is quite good - not only because the other party is true to his words, but also because of the other party's words, he saved many witchers in the battle of Sass Harbor; Assuming that there is no other party, even if the demon hunters wipe out all the existences in those abnormal cemeteries, it will be relatively not only a dozen people seriously injured like now, and there will be relatively large casualties; Even the familiar faces who drank with him before will relatively have a considerable part of them disappear forever, let alone any gatherings, I am afraid that a funeral will be what they need the most.

On the contrary, the little man has no good impression of Lyman, the existence of the papal punishment knight 'skin' - even if he knows that the other party is for the sake of his beloved, he is also single-mindedly against the Holy See; Even the beloved still made him want to think of the woman's head, but that didn't change the little man's disapproval of Lyman's unscrupulous skills.

Perhaps, when something happens, he will also choose his tricks, poisoning or assassinating, but this relatively does not include the application of feelings - the application of feelings to achieve something, even if the purpose is well-intentioned, cannot be recognized by the witcher who cherishes all feelings; Assuming that it is not due to the fact that one side has a common enemy, it is temporarily in the opposite camp, and the small man does not want to contact the other party.

"The duel wasn't brought up by Lyman, it was Lynes!"

Ye Qi shook his head and said-of course he understood what his friend thought; However, nothing can be changed; Because, for Lyman, he and his friend were divided in their thoughts; Assuming that it wasn't for the news from outside the other party's Holy See, and the existence of the leader with the honor of the Aja bloodline, he didn't mind waving his sword at the other party.

"Lines brought it up? Well, that guy is really saved! ”

For this existence, even after death, he obeyed the terms of knighthood, the little man could only roll his eyes—such a person who had a yardstick to the point of being simply dull, whether in the past, or now, and perhaps in the future, was undoubtedly a rare creature; Assuming that it is not an ideal in front of them, the little man will not believe that such an existence exists.

"What day is the duel? It can't be the day of the Norsd family's feast, right? ”

"Of course it's the same day, otherwise, why would I ask you to go to the Nosd family on my behalf?"

Hearing his friend's simple procrastinating reply, especially after knowing that there would be a brilliant duel for the same effort, the little man felt more and more resistant to participating in the banquet of the Northside family, and his headache became - although Lyman's personality and the little man did not dare to agree, but the strength of the other party, the little man very agreed; Except for Ye Qi. The other party is one of the few people he can't see through; It's obviously just a moonlight-level breath, but it gives people another feeling, like a glass full of fog when looking at flowers in the fog. It is impossible to see the things in the room.

Therefore, even if the green knight once had the strength of the ri-yao level, the little man did not think that the other party would directly lose to the point that he would not even have room to fight back; Even if the result is the worst, it must be the existence of the RI Yao class to win. But the process is relatively brilliant - the Moonlight class faces the Ri Yao class, and except for special cases, there is no hope of winning at all; This is recognized throughout Lorente; Therefore, even if Lyman's overall strength gives the little man a sense that he can't see clearly, the little man doesn't think that the other party is such a special example; After all. In addition to historical records, he has only seen his friend Ye Qi as a multi-talented person.

"Alright! All right! However, I thought it would be more appropriate to assume that Ted had taken my place! ”

In the end, the little man who had no choice but could not agree to Ye Qi's proposal, but the complaints still existed—but. The little man also knows it very well. To complain is to complain; Suppose that the Giant Man is really coming to such a meeting on behalf of the Witcher's headquarters; Although, it is reasonable, but I believe that after the banquet, there will be rumors that his friend Ye Qi and the Demon Hunter headquarters are at odds, and he is blocked by others. …,

In this regard, the little man is very certain; Especially. The Holy See, which had just suffered a loss, would be relatively happy to hear such rumors; And fueling the fire – of course. At this moment, the little man who had accepted the proposal of his friend had also made up his mind in his heart. Draw the black marketeers into the ranks of the witchers; After all, compared to his other two friends who didn't have to think about it at all because of Tianxing, he was very sure, and with the talent of a black market merchant, he was undoubtedly the most talented choice to represent his friends at various banquets at present.

"Ted, they have more and more things to do, assuming you propose, I believe that many people, including Ted, will be happy to trade with you!"

"Holy See?!"

The words of his friend immediately stunned the little man, and then, he asked solemnly-except for this organization that has been active frequently recently, and has appeared in front of him from time to time to disgust people, plus the previous party's continuation of the fall of five ri-yao level powerhouses, and the ideal of one 'absconding', he really can't think of any other existence that can make the entire demon hunter headquarters move.

"Well, the Holy See is one! After all, no one would sit idly by and watch their top combat power be wiped out and remain indifferent! Ye Qi nodded and admitted his friend's speculation, while adding, "However, in addition to this, there are also our traditional old rivals!" ”

For the witcher, there are undoubtedly many existences that can be called opponents, the Holy See, the Supreme Zhèngfu, and the various propagated families that nominally belong to or directly ignore; However, if you put a prefix called 'tradition' in front of it, then there is only one existence - dark creatures!

When the earliest witchers appeared, there is no detailed record in the Tower of Wisdom at the Witcher headquarters, but when people were attacked by dark creatures, it is clearly recorded - vampires, werewolves, all kinds of jing, and even dark wizards evolved from people themselves, as well as higher-level lichs and other existences The damage to ordinary humans is recorded in one book after another; Although there are some errors due to the passage of time and the lack of detailed paraphrases, most of them are correct.

Where there is oppression, there will inevitably be rebellion - and those who rebel against these beings are not clearly named, but the witchers of later generations still call them the earliest witchers, and the existence they fight against is the traditional opponent of the witchers.

"Creatures of Darkness?!"

The little man looked at his friend in disbelief, and after seeing his friend nodding quietly, he immediately spun around in front of his friend's desk in an irritated end - although the hypocrisy of the Holy See and the way the supreme zhèngfu handled it in a low-key manner made him feel unhappy as a witcher, but compared to the undisguised slaughter of dark creatures, the first two are undoubtedly beloved as if your daughter is ordinary.

Blood feasts and human flesh feasts were the names of those who used to hold banquets, and in most cases, food, dry food, toys, or experimental objects were the more detailed names they gave to the raw material of human beings—in that era when blood was purified, human life was undoubtedly dangerous; Apart from the tall, sturdy castles and the hordes of well-equipped troops, there is simply no effective way to face those who exist; Even going to a city a little farther away alone requires hiring guards to ensure their own safety.

And even with tall, sturdy castles and hordes of well-equipped armies, all humans are terrified when faced with the annual autumn hunt - autumn hunting. the hunting season after the prey has grown fat; It's just that it was originally used as a hunting for rabbits and ducks, but it has been replaced by humans.

Hordes of vampires, werewolves, and jingling monsters. A race to plunder humanity and destroy cities, and under the defense of hordes of dark creatures, even the tallest, sturdier castles can be breached, and even the most well-equipped armies are a drop in the bucket - well-trained ordinary people. Holding long swords, spears and other cold weapons with strong crossbows, occupying favorable terrain, facing dark creatures, its odds of victory are simply no more than fifty percent; And when facing a plural dark creature, even if you are plural. However, after the favorable terrain and the advantage of the strong crossbow were weakened, this odds were instantly lowered to less than 10%! …,

The contagion of panic, in particular, is enough to boast of any well-equipped army; Unless it is an apostle with special talents or a skilled warrior, the whole battle situation will be a little uncertain; Otherwise, it is basically a rout, and the difference is only the length of time.

There was even a time when an entire kingdom was attacked by dark creatures, and then the royal family was captured and looted - this oil painting at that time was hung on the first floor of the Competitive Tower, and every demon hunter who entered the Competitive Tower could see it; Layers of flesh were smeared on the castles of the ruined kingdom. Men and women, young and old. There were several human heads like pyramids, from the gate of the castle to the edge of the scroll, and anyone who saw it knew that it was not a border, an end, and that the dark creatures were applauding and celebrating in such an environment.

Everything, the witcher who has seen this oil painting and has come into contact with dark creatures. will not doubt the danger of dark creatures to ordinary humans - although due to the advent of the Ziyou era, the appearance of gunpowder weapons. The dark creatures were fundamentally cut off from the madness and tyranny of the bloody age again, but the minions that were hidden in the shadows of Yin were revealed from time to time. It is also enough to raise the vigilance of all witchers; After all, dark creatures hiding in the shadows are always more risky than those exposed to the sun!

Therefore, at any time, the witchers will never forget their worst enemies!

"It's not as serious as you think, it's just that there is an anomaly at the end of a few clans of vampires! Ted, who received the news, went to investigate with several tower guards from Zhongyāng Castle, and was confident that the news would come soon! Ye Qi looked at his friend's patient face and immediately explained; However, there was no sense of relaxation in his expression - Ye Qi, who had studied at the Witcher's headquarters, had certainly seen the oil painting that would never be forgotten at that time; And he didn't want the situation of that oil painting to be recreated in any way at any time.

"The Fanzhuo family? Or the Xitai family? ”

"It's all involved!"

The friend's reply made the little man frown for a moment, and then took a sip fiercely.

"It's really an unreassuring existence, isn't the experience of war enough?"

"It's been almost fifteen years since the last war, and it's the best healing potion for the last war! Especially when they are hateful, they will always forget their pain! ”

Ye Qi stood in front of the only window in the room, next to the bed, and gradually opened the curtain—this window had existed before the renovation, because the sunlight and moonlight could shine directly on it, and because some experiments could require ventilation; Therefore, the young witch witches were kept as instructors.

After opening the curtain, Ye Qi, who was standing in front of the window, could clearly see the people on the street who were relaxing in the afternoon sunshine of Zhou Ri, and the sharp contrast between the phenomenon in front of him and the oil painting hanging in the Athletic Tower in his memory immediately made Ye Qi quietly squint his eyes - as a witcher, he had the duty to defend against those dark creatures; And everything that made people feel warm in front of him made an inevitable decision in his duties.

"Therefore, we exist to make them remember those pains from time to time, so that those pains are so violent that they wipe out their hatred, and only tremble and tremble!"
