Chapter 45: The Beginning of the 'Wizard's Path'
Sure enough, almost at the moment when Ye Qi spoke to Doug Jr. and Xsol, the leader of the supreme government who had been standing in the distance spoke—
"Calm down, everyone; Have you forgotten the purpose of standing here today? ”
With a few light coughs that did not set off the atmosphere, Moriti, the head of the Supreme Government Drill Room, walked between the church and the witcher, and he waved his arm a little helplessly, preventing the two sides from approaching - Originally, the opening of the 'Wizard's Road' had nothing to do with him, and only the chief executive of the supreme government of Randingburg needed to come forward, but because of the mayor of the former supreme government of Randingburg last time. Wrong move', at this moment, has been transferred back to Dude to be examined, so he has to appear again in Shak as the head of the drill room, presiding over everything in the opening of the 'Wizard's Path' by the Supreme Government.
Moretti is not very familiar with the opening of the 'Wizard's Path', and even, in serious terms, he only participated in it once when he was young, but Moretti knows very well that once there are witchers and Holy See on any occasion or ceremony, then the situation will definitely not be much better; And the extent of it, as long as there is not a scuffle, is acceptable - and his presence is to prevent such a situation from happening.
It seemed that at a glance, the personnel on both sides who had temporarily stopped, Mo Liti's frowning brows relaxed slightly, he stood in the middle, and at an angle that both sides could see, spread his hands and said: "Gentlemen, we are here to supervise the opening of the 'Wizard's Path', not to start such a senseless fight; You want to show your 'warmth' and unique welcome to those wizards in this way? ”
"Servant of God. Will not engage in pointless battles. Of course, there will be no fear of any battle! ”
A bishop dressed in white robe walked up to the papal see, first at Moreti and then at the witcher who was close at hand, and said with a warm smile on his face—although the smile seemed to be real, the slight threat inside was self-evident; And for such a threat that he has long been accustomed to, as the leader of the witcher's side. Jacob certainly exemplifies the characteristics of a witcher.
"We're better at fighting for ourselves than some of our servants!"
Walking in front of all the witchers, Jacob and the bishop on the other side, who was clearly the lead, stared at each other without flinching.
"God's mercy can show you a way, O Lamb without faith!"
The white-robed bishop, who had put his hands on his chest and whispered a few words of prayer, raised his head again and looked at Jacob with a warmer smile; However, such a smile with the guidance of 'God' is really contrived. For witchers, it really couldn't be more fake; Even. Many demon hunters immediately snorted disdainfully.
And Jacob, who was the temporary leader of the witchers, was naturally on the side of many witchers, he looked at the white-robed bishop in front of him as if he was asking, put his hands on the two guns on his waist, and said unceremoniously: "Oh? Compared to the so-called god, I believe in the gun in my hand more! ”
"Then God will punish the lost lambs with their troubles!"
Wen Xu's smile was retracted, only a thick coldness remained, and the white-robed bishop, who had looked compassionate before, finally put down his usual disguise at this time, and looked at the demon hunter in front of him with the most disgusting gaze like a fly—in fact, in his heart, these untrustworthy and unruly witchers were simply more disgusting than flies; Naturally, the Holy See's perception of the Witcher is also the same as the Witcher's perception of the Holy See.
However, the atmosphere that had only eased slightly became tense immediately after a conversation; If it weren't for the representatives of the supreme government, Moretti was still standing in the middle blocking the two sides, I am afraid that the battle would have taken place - listening to the words of the two sides, Moretti really wanted to rub his swollen temples; Although I already knew that this would be the case, when I really faced it, it would still be a headache.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down and awaken your senses!"
had to raise his voice to speak, interrupting the eyes between the two sides; And just this level of shouting made Moriti cough involuntarily again, obviously, his body did not allow him to do this - however, the effect was quite obvious, and the two sides stopped again and focused on Moriti's body.
"Your Excellency Moriti, if you need it, I will treat your injuries with divine magic!"
The white-robed bishop looked at the coughing Moretti, and once again suggested with a smile on his face - at the beginning, the Holy See was able to smoothly penetrate the middle level of the highest government, and the healing part of the divine art was indispensable; If there is no such part, no matter how magical the magic is, it will take more time to complete the original plan; After all, plundering lives and saving lives, while they may not seem to be much different, are sometimes more important than the former.
When Jacob heard the words of the white-robed bishop, he immediately let out a sneer: "With that kind of overdraft, it is just drinking to quench your thirst!" It's just going to make people die faster! ”
"Lord Hessel of the Tower of the Moonlit Night will not be stingy with his help!" Jacob's eyes were on Moretti.
"Thanks to the kindness of the two of you, my body has improved a lot, I just need a simple recuperation, and I don't need to have such trouble at all!" Saying something that he didn't believe, Moretti staggered the topic without offending both sides: "Your Excellency Jacob, Bishop Vallejo, there is less than an hour before the opening of the 'Wizard's Path', I think we should discuss the specifics, after all, we are only in competition, and there is likely to be our common enemy among them." ”
The common enemies of the Holy See, the Supreme Government, and the Demon Hunters are naturally dark creatures and dark wizards who are more famous than ordinary dark creatures - and want to make the two have a bad relationship. Able to talk calmly. Naturally, they should set up a common imaginary enemy; This is a compulsory course for politicians in the highest government. Although Moreti looked down on those bureaucrats, he still had to mediate the two sides in this way at this time.
Of course, Moriti spoke in a way that would make any politician scorn, and such a clumsy way would be no less than a child's joke in the eyes of these politicians; Fortunately, however, neither Jacob nor the Bishop of Vallejo were politicians, and what Moretti said was also true. Therefore, after the two looked at each other a few times, they walked to the side at the invitation of Moretti, and walked to the side in front of the representative of the Nosd family, who had not spoken since the beginning.
"Good morning, Lord Jacob and Bishop Vallejo!"
After shaking hands with Moretti, Reggus, the apostolic leader of House North, walked up to the two with a standard smile on his face, placing his hand on his chest in a manner peculiar to the main road. He bowed slightly to the two of them.
"Welcome to the Norsd family!"
The slender Regus wore a modified coat that didn't go up to the waist. The blue coat above the knee represents the unchanging identity of the Norsd family as a descendant of the sea, and the golden edges and patterns, in addition to the monotony of the blue, add the family crest of the Norsd family; A black cowhide belt squeezed straight around the waist, making this wide, comfortable coat more capable; Even those present would not doubt that wearing this seemingly gorgeous outfit would be neat and tidy in the face of the enemy in battle.
The pants and boots made from the skin of some kind of sea creature make this ability to the extreme; There is even an extra military demeanor.
"Mr. Finger, who is he?"
Little Doug quietly asked Ye Qi beside him - with the leaders of both sides coming forward, although the confrontation still continued, there was a lack of gunpowder; The two young men who were pulled by Ye Qi also stopped their restlessness at this time; The gaze of the two men moved with Jacob and the Bishop Vallejo; For these two, because they were both witchers, the two young men looked at Jacob's gaze, which was naturally full of respect, while the eyes that looked at the Holy See were full of hatred and disgust.
And after seeing Moretti and Regus, the eyes of the two changed differently - their faces were slightly pale at first glance, and they coughed from time to time, and Moretti, who was obviously seriously ill, obviously could not attract the attention of the two young people; The eyes of the two young men were completely on the latter; Especially Xiao Doug, who was in contact with the upper class society in Xialin District, looked at the other party's extraordinary clothes, and had a different feeling.
As an outlier in high society, little Doug did not like the ornate but incomparably complex dress, but he could hardly develop a sense of disgust for the dress worn by the slender and muscular man in front of him; Especially when the other party's whole body exudes the ability and sharp shout of a soldier, little Doug has a different feeling for this dress - if the dress can be worn like this, it is also good!
With such an idea, Little Doug went straight to Ye Qi and asked about the other party's origin - as a simple and kind young man, Little Doug did not have that. Even if he admires the style of the other party's dress very much, he will ask accordingly, and then after the other party agrees, he will choose to wear; after all, little Doug is very clear about his father's character, and along the way he used the strength of the family to speed up the journey, it will naturally fall into the eyes of his father, and the reason why his father did not object, and spared no effort to help him, in order to return to the Xia Lin District faster, back to Dude Middle School.
Moreover, little Doug also had considerable speculation about what his father was going to do after that; However, this did not make him choose to leave the identity he currently possessed - after all, it was an agreement between friends, and it was the starting point from which he really wanted to start sharpening himself; Little Doug really wanted to know how far he could go.
Of course, as a consequence of such 'stubbornness', he had to attend some banquets to 'appease' his father—unlike the simple rebellion in the past, knowing that his father's painstaking little Doug would consider things from his father's point of view; and, as best he could, do his best to accomplish his own things without going against his father's wishes; And in this way. A well-fitting dress that doesn't irritate is a must.
Something like going to a banquet. It's boring in itself. Wouldn't it be boring to not have a well-fitting dress?
"That is the apostolic leader of the Norsd family, and he can be regarded as a big man of the Norsd family!"
Ye Qi didn't think so much about Little Doug's inquiry, and set off straight as 'Finger', explaining to the two young men beside him, and at the same time, his gaze swept in the direction where the Norsd family was standing—except for Regus, the other party's brother Remos. The leader of the Poseidon Clan, and the current patriarch, Old Man Fletcher, did not appear here; Moreover, the former patriarch of the Norsd family, Gail, who has been determined to protect the 'wizard's path'. Northd and his friend, the former presiding judge of the Holy See, Dizio, also did not show up.
Ye Qi was not surprised that the latter did not appear; After all, the former presiding judge was a traitor to the Holy See after all, and it was good that he didn't show up, but if he did, it would be a big trouble; Therefore, whether it is for the former judge or the former patriarch of the Norsd family, it is very appropriate to hide and hide for the time being.
But. If the old man of the Norsd family did not appear, it was a little strange - according to the representatives of the parties when the 'Wizard's Path' opened. The patriarch of House Nosd must appear; This is not only a sign of the importance of the opening of the 'Wizard's Path', but also a sign of respect for the Supreme Government, the Holy See, and the Witchers; But at this time, not only the old man, but even Remos, the leader of the Poseidon Descendant, did not appear!
With that old man's character, even if he is reluctant in his heart, he will appear as usual for the sake of the Norsd family!
Could it be that something has happened in the Norsd family?
Ye Qi not only secretly thought; However, the idea was quickly thrown out of his mind - if such a thing happened, it would be impossible for his friends outside of Landingburgh not to inform him.
"The Northsods?! I see! ”
After hearing Ye Qi's explanation, Little Doug nodded suddenly; Seeing Little Douge's sudden appearance, Ye Qi couldn't help but temporarily let go of the doubts in his heart, and asked with a smile: "What?" Doug Jr., have you heard of the Northsteads? ”
"Of course! The Nosd family is also famous in the Xialin District, both in terms of wealth and heritage, it is talked about by the merchants and 'nobles' in the Xialin District, and all the people in the Xialin District are happy to call the Nosrid family who owns the Sass port the pearl of Lolant! ”
When asked what he was best at, little Doug immediately tilted his head and explained to the respectful person in front of him and his friend with a blank face with the pride peculiar to a young man; Then, as if he was about to say some secret, Little Doug deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Do you know the way?" This 'Wizard's Secret Market' was also held at the Manor House of North, and it is said that the current patriarch of House Nosd had already arranged everything, and ......"
I see!
No wonder the old man didn't show up!
Hearing this, Ye Qi couldn't help but feel a sudden feeling in his heart - obviously, the opening of the 'Wizard's Road' and the 'Wizard's Secret Market' were placed at the same time and chose the same place, so that the Northside family had to be careful, especially the latter, it was obviously a 'market' with many people to participate, which was naturally the most important;
Presumably, the old man and Remos are transforming the entire Nosd family's manor into an 'iron wall'!
Naturally, Ye Qi guessed in his heart the appearance of the Nosd family's manor at this moment - normal guards, special secret sentinels, emergency guards, I'm afraid they have already been in place, waiting for the opening of the 'Wizard Secret City';
However, the only ones who can really ignore these people are those lone rangers; The rest, even if they disdain each other in their hearts, will ensure the safety of the other party - after all, their power is still based on the other party's ordinary people; Just like the Norsd family, if the port of Sass lacks ordinary merchants and is handed over to the Norsd family themselves, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be defeated.
After all, it is difficult for a wharf that is not even able to load and unload cargo and basically have enough manpower to attract enough merchant ships.
"Mr. Finger, let's go to the Wizarding Secret City in a moment, shall we?"
Little Doug extended an invitation to Ye Qi.
"Absolutely! However, as far as I know, the 'Wizard's Secret City' should only start at sunset, are you sure you can have the time to make it? For Ye Qi, who is also going to the Wizard's Secret City, such an invitation will naturally not be refused; However, he had to remind the two young people of the time.
"We've already booked a time to leave tomorrow at noon!"
Doug Jr. and Xsol said at the same time.
