Chapter Fifty-Three: A Witcher Who Likes to Smell Curiosities
In the following inspection, whether it was the witcher, the Holy See, or even the people of the supreme government who had been the end of the inspection, they were all subconsciously severe, and the wizard side did not complain - the appearance of the Mind Flayer was enough to make several people more vigilant; Although he did not deliberately listen to the old wizard's explanation to the witcher, the Holy See, and the supreme government, judging from the fact that the wizards were questioned by the old wizard one by one, the appearance of the Mind Flayer this time would not be regarded as the end because of its death.
However, when the sun had completely set, the opening of the entire 'Wizard's Path' was finally over an hour and a half later than expected, and before the convoy sent by the Nosd family arrived, the wizards who had completed the inspection greeted the 'Finger' played by Ye Qi one after another—of course, not because of the instantaneous increase in the charm of 'Finger', although according to the aesthetics of women,' Finger's appearance is quite attractive, but what really attracts these wizards is the brain and eyes of the Mind Flayer contained in his [Dimensional Bag] at the moment.
However, Ye Qi, who already had a self-use for these materials, of course could not trade with these wizards, and after a smile and a polite refusal, these wizards left disappointed - but, despite the disappointment, these wizards still maintained their demeanor; And they have another goal.
Undoubtedly, in their eyes, the witcher named Herman was obviously easier to deal with than 'Finger', with his weak appearance—but this weak witcher also apparently had his own plans; After selling some Mind Flayer's leftovers. For the four tentacles that wizards value more. but it is placed in the form of barter; And this 'thing' is not an ordinary object. It's some unique books that are not circulating on the market, or magic books.
Yes, this exchange proposal undoubtedly made the wizards feel hesitant; After all, for wizards who pursue knowledge, they also cherish and protect any books, let alone those magic books - magic books, not every wizard's diary can be called a magic book. Only diaries left by famous wizards in history or books named after mythological figures can be called magic books; For example, the wizard diary of the wizard emperor contained in Ye Qi's [Dimensional Bag], and the "Eye of Mao Mo" that was accidentally obtained at the beginning, only the existence of this level can be called a magic book.
Therefore, after a little discussion, the wizards retreated; Ye Qi could see that the weak witcher was not discouraged by this—after all, the Wizard Secret City was about to open, and in that full two weeks' time, it would be enough for him to get what he wanted; Not to mention. His original purpose was only to exchange a certain amount of Kimpton for access to certain books; Therefore. Whether it was the icing on the cake that he got in exchange for the lone book he wanted, the magic book, or just the equivalent Kimpton, it was all right for this weak witcher.
As for where he went in exchange for access to certain books?
Judging from the fact that the other party has a collection of specimens of the corpse of the Mind Flayer, the other party must have its own corresponding channels; However, the price paid is definitely a staggering price; 'Knowledge is priceless', although this sentence is often on people's lips, but the real experience is undoubtedly more memorable - just like the diary of the wizard emperor in his [dimensional bag], if Ye Qi takes it out, I am afraid that any wizard is willing to give out all his property, and in the dark ages, it is enough to exchange for a hereditary title of nobility, plus the territory of an entire city.
"Finger, can we pass together?"
After the weak witcher got rid of the entanglement of the wizards, he walked straight in front of Ye Qi and the two young men.
"Of course, we're just three of us! Inside one car, enough to sit all of us! ”
Ye Qi nodded, then motioned for the other party to sit down, and re-lit the bonfire in front of him, and under the light of the orange fire, a trace of blood finally appeared on the face of the weak witcher - the Norsd family's convoy was already on the way; However, it will take a little longer to get there; And, since the wizards were the guests, they wouldn't be the first to be picked up; Therefore, the witchers mostly sat on the ground and lit piles of bonfires; Although the climate in the Bay Area is not very cold, the temperature at night is not too high, and with the ability to dispel the darkness, the appearance of bonfires is a natural thing.
People still naturally like light.
"What is this?"
After just sitting down, Ye Qi saw a money bag handed over by the other party, and raised his head in surprise - although he hadn't been staring at the other party before, Ye Qi could estimate that this was almost all the income of the other party just now.
"The value of the materials on the corpse of the Mind Flayer is far beyond my imagination! Just those four tentacles can be exchanged for everything I want! With a subtle smile, the weak witcher put the money bag in front of Ye Qi, gently pushed his glasses, and continued: "To be able to obtain the goal that I would have needed to accumulate for one to two years in such an accident is already lucky enough for me; If I am greedy, I think good luck will leave me! ”
"That's right, your introspection has brought you another fortune!"
Ye Qi smiled and nodded, and threw the money bag back; By weight alone, this bag of Kimpton had reached as many as 100 pieces, almost one-tenth of the number of Kimpton in his whole body; However, this is far less important to Ye Qi than the appreciation of a person - the identity of the other party's apostle is undoubted, but he is wearing a hunting suit, and the backpack with weapons and miscellaneous items on his body, although it has a clean appearance, can hardly hide the fact that its style is very old; Obviously, the other party is not wealthy, not only does he not have enough money in exchange for an apostle trench coat, but even the equipment he carries with him is being maintained as much as possible.
This phenomenon is common among witchers, but even if they are poor. An apostolic trench coat is also required; After all. Excellent defense of the Apostle trench coat. It's still a very good choice for witchers who are qualified to wear it; But now the other party has chosen a hunting outfit, and in this case, the other party can hand nearly 100 Kimpton to Ye Qi without hesitation, which is enough to explain some problems.
At the very least, this is not an insatiable person, and he knows very well about Entu, and a person with two points, as a friend. Obviously very good.
"Don't look at me like this, I used to have a farm on the outskirts of Dude; Although I have sold it, the money I get is enough for me to live a very happy life! "Ye Qi, as 'Finger', told a white lie - although according to the information given by the chameleon, the money that 'Finger' sold the farm was very objective, but most of it was left to his 'ex-wife' and the hired workers of the farm, and he only kept a small part of it;
Looking at the still hesitant to deal with it, Ye Qi continued his words: "And I'm also very interested in some unique books and the like. I have also spent some money on it; So, consider these as my investments! If you see something interesting. Totally tell me! ”
"Finger, are you also interested in anecdotes?"
Hearing Ye Qi say something he was interested in, the weak witcher's eyes immediately lit up; However, this time, without waiting for Ye Qi to answer, Little Doug, who was sitting on the side, had already interjected: "Of course, Your Excellency Finger told us about the so-called Mind Flayer in great detail before!" ”
As he spoke, worried that he would not be able to gain the trust of the other party, Little Doug recounted Ye Qi's account of the Mind Flayer; And the weak demon hunter who sat there and listened silently became more and more excited the more he listened; When Little Doug finished speaking, the weak witcher couldn't wait to ask Ye Qi, "Finger, what book are you reading?" ”
"Dark Regions. Strange Creatures", a book that mainly introduces all kinds of strange creatures in the dark region, supplemented by geography! Ye Qi replied without concealment.
"Did the author of this book use an acronym for TK.Y?"
The weak witcher's tone was tinged with urgency.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be! What, you and this author? ”
Ye Qi thought for a moment and then nodded; Then he looked at the somewhat excited deal with it, and couldn't help asking.
"He was my great-grandfather, a very famous adventurer of his time; However, when he explores the end of the Desert of Death again, he disappears! Although my great-grandfather was famous, he relied on borrowing money to survive every adventure, and luckily he was able to bring back enough loot in exchange for Kimpton to pay off the loan and maintain the family! But ......"
Speaking of this, the weak witcher couldn't help but smile bitterly: "With the disappearance of my great-grandfather, those loans had to be used, and the property in Dude at that time was used as collateral to repay the loans; And after my grandfather repaid the loan, he took over my great-grandfather's 'business' without hesitation, then my father, and then me! However, compared to my great-grandfather, my grandfather and father were undoubtedly unsuccessful; I can tell from the fact that I live in the Winter Forest District now! ”
Compared with Dude in Xialin District, Donglin District is undoubtedly synonymous with poor countryside, even if it is Dongbao, the capital of Donglin District, it is just a synonym for the suburbs for people in Xialin District - and the price of real estate is naturally very different, it is an exaggeration to say that it is a hundred times, but dozens of times is no problem.
Ye Qi never thought of the book "Dark Regions. The slightly narcissistic author of "Strange Creatures" turned out to be the great-grandfather of the weak witcher in front of him, so when the other party told it, he looked very surprised; Looking at Ye Qi's surprised appearance, the weak demon hunter shrugged his shoulders: "The glory of our great-grandfather is what we have always wanted to recover, but it is a pity that we have nothing to do except for some deeds; In particular, I did not expect my great-grandfather's 'relics' to be so valuable, and if my grandfather had learned that his father's books were worth so much, I am afraid they would not have been used as debts. ”
"The cunning of the merchants is always unguardable, they always buy at a low price and sell at a high price; Regardless of whether more despicable and shameless means are used in it! Little Doug interjected again. With a deep shame on his face - obviously. Little Doug, who was born in the upper class of the summer forest district. The reason why he was reluctant to go to those banquets was for his own reasons.
Little Doug's words were naturally deeply touching to the weak witcher; He exclaimed, "That's right! So, I swear I'm going to build a library of strange things in and out of Lorante, and make it available for free to anyone who wants to learn about it! ”
"It's a huge project!"
Ye Qi appreciates such an idea very much, and uses the action generated by this idea, but it is difficult. He also knew very well - at the very least, Ye Qi understood that the collection of books in the Tower of Wisdom was also missing a considerable part for the real curiosities, and these books alone were enough to have a thousand volumes, plus some scroll books made in an ancient way, then this number would have to be added at least five hundred.
Needless to discuss the complexity of the collection process, Kimpton alone needed not to recharge the wizarding tower he had been hiding in the Thousand Swamps District to refill it with much less, if not more!
"I understood back then, so I need to work harder!" The weak witcher nodded. At this time, he showed a manly spirit that was extremely inconsistent with his appearance, and he said with a firm look in his eyes: "And my children will inherit my will." It's as if we have inherited the will of our great-grandfather and show the most authentic world to those who want to know the Tao! ”
"Perhaps, I can help!"
Little Doug was undoubtedly a young man who was very susceptible to infection, and at the voice of the weak witcher, he volunteered to move his body and sit down beside the other party; However, this action made the weak witcher react, and he immediately blushed a little embarrassedly, and then, uncertainly, looked at Little Doug, and asked, "Really?" ”
"Well, not necessarily! However, when I return to Dude, I can give you an accurate answer! ”
Little Doug thought for a moment, and gave a less certain answer—it was clear that several experiences had taught the young man what it meant to think completely; Ye Qi nodded with a smile as he said to the young man in the Thousand Pond District, "Xsol, help little Doug recall the technique I just taught; After all, actual combat is the best memory, and after full activity, you can have a good appetite! ”
"What a dear, Lord Finger!"
The young man of Sennuma immediately stood up, tossed a twig to his friend, and set up a posture - although the young man of Chinuma had not had much hope for what 'Finger' had taught, but when he had listened to a few words, he became attentive, for he found that the skills taught by the other party were very incisive, even if it was some foundation.
Was the other party really an ordinary farmer before?
In the hearts of the young people in Qiannuma District, such doubts inevitably arise; However, in the remarks of the other party's teaching, he put this doubt behind him and listened attentively; Even the arrival of the weak witcher could not distract him.
Therefore, after listening to Ye Qi's words, the young man of Qiannuma District, who had long wanted to actually practice it, immediately jumped into the open space in front of the bonfire; And little Doug, who was sitting a little bored, also stood up with an excited face after catching the branch again; After gesturing to his friend, he shouted: "The old rule, the loser washes the socks for the winner for a week!" ”
"Of course, I'll let you go three times!"
With Ye Qi's start, the two young people immediately started a unique contest with branches - there is no doubt that the young people in the Qiannuma District who have been training since childhood have an absolute advantage, even if the talented little Doug wants to catch up, it is not possible to complete it in a short time; That's why there's the saying 'let you three times' come from Ksol's mouth.
In this regard, although Doug Jr. was still dissatisfied at first, but with the successive defeats, this has also become one of the old rules for washing the socks of the winner for a week with the loser.
"They're all good!"
The weak witcher looked at the battle between the two young men and said; And from the applause of the witchers who gathered around, it can be seen that this is not a kind word - obviously, for these witchers, the boring wait is far less interesting than watching a confrontation with the juniors; Except for Reynx, every witcher present was much older than the two young men, Doug Jr. and Xsol, so it naturally didn't matter if they were called juniors.
At this time, the big man and Ryanckes walked in front of Ye Qi and welcomed him as the president of the Witcher Branch in the Bay Area-Ye Qi was slightly stunned, and then he understood what kind of attention his friend and his female disciple were paying attention to, and he was sure that this was the attention that his female disciple came up with; Otherwise, with the sincerity of his friends, he would never have such thoughts.
"Nice to meet you, Darlan and Linenex!"
However, after reacting, Ye Qi smiled and stretched out his hand to shake his friend.
