Chapter 85: Support
"Leaf!"
Ted's loud voice almost made half of Rancla hear his shouts; Ye Qi gestured to the bronze dragon girl, then walked towards Ted, the two hugged in a friendly way, patted both sides on the back, and after the 'pop', Ted let go of Ye Qi with a grin.
"You guy, your strength is getting bigger and bigger!"
After slamming Ye Qi in the chest, Ted couldn't help but shake his back - there, his sore muscles that had been slapped were still shaking for a while; Obviously, in the face of Ye Qi's strength, this giant beast is also quite unbearable.
"Congratulations!"
Ye Qi said with a smile.
The endless congratulations did not arouse Ted's doubts - in fact, anyone who knew Ted well could understand what Ted had been expecting.
Break through the Moonlight and become a Solar Class!
This expectation has been going on for more than five years, if not longer; Now that it's reached, it's natural to congratulate you.
"You should treat us all to a good meal, or throw a bigger party!"
Ye Qi pointed to the dozen or so Solaris level people around him, and these tower protectors all smiled kindly at Ye Qi's gaze - the same camp, and being able to come to support already showed that these people did not have any ill feelings towards Ye Qi; Otherwise, with the system of demon hunters, even if it is the order of the Lord of the Six Towers, it can be perfunctory and perfunctory.
"Well, I suggest partying!"
A medium-sized, dark-faced Solar-level witcher nodded approvingly.
"That's right. And it's going to be a big one! β
Another tall Solar-class witcher. He brushed the long hair that covered his eyes on his forehead. Said so.
"At least a hundred people!"
Standing on the far left, a chubby Solar witcher leaning against the bar fence gives a standard.
"Basil, Kade, Cherkh, you three guys don't take advantage of the fire!"
Ted yelled directly at the three speaking Solar Class--it was clear that the relationship between the two sides was not ordinary, and in the face of the roar of the behemoth, the three of them just shrugged their shoulders together, turned around, and asked the remaining demon hunters, "What do you think of our proposal!" β
"Good!"
"Agreed!"
"That's what you have to do!"
β¦β¦
The remaining Solar-level demon hunters immediately nodded together. And with the addition of these guys, Ted's face obviously turned gray - this is not that Ted is stingy, but he is really more than enough, although he is the guardian of the Tower of the Moonlit Night, and also serves as an advisor, but his salary is not much, unlike those witchers who can be paid for tasks, most of the time, the tower protector has to rely on his own salary to survive.
In fact, if you take it seriously. The monthly salary of the tower protector is not much different from the salary of the average middle class; And. Ted is obviously not a person who will save money, and the first thing he does when he gets paid every month is to call a few good friends and go to the Dolphin Bar in downtown Shak for a drink.
Ye Qi was one of the invitees.
Therefore, Ye Qi is well aware of Ted's economic situation, and Ted also knows such a thing.
So, at this time, Ted cried with a sad face, looked at the smiling Ye Qi and said, "Did you do it on purpose?" I think you've been influenced by Lord Ward! β
"The profiteers influenced me?"
Ye Qi was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared that stunned Ted - no doubt it was the smile of the legendary profiteer that had formed several versions in Tallinn.
"Ted just proposed to me that there should be fifty more barrels of fine gold rum for the party! Cheer for our generous Lord Ted! β
Just when Ted was still a little stunned, Ye Qi had already announced loudly; And immediately, these Solar-level witchers who were already joining in the excitement cheered one after another.
"Cheers to Lord Ted!"
"Your Excellency Ted's generosity, we take it to heart!"
β¦β¦
In the cheers of everyone, Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders, looked at the stunned Ted, and said, "Do you see it?" If you are a profiteer, at least, you should do it like this! β
"Ye, do you know that fifty barrels of high-grade golden rums in Langdao are my salary for three years?!"
Our Mr. Behemoth, at this time, is almost about to cry.
"Huh?! Is it only three years? I thought it would take at least five years! Oh, by the way, you're now at the Solar level, and you have a certain amount of subsidy! Ye Qi pretended to look at Ted in surprise, and then, with his fingers, he calculated: "The food to maintain a party of 100 people will cost you about eight months' salary, and if you add the drinks, it will be another year, and if you add the high-quality golden rum that is just fifty barrels, it will be four years and eight months...... Just in case, if you want to have a good time, five years of pay is obviously a must! β
"You don't seem to have that much money!"
After calculating, Ye Qi looked at Ted, who nodded again and again, and unconsciously showed a smile again: "I have some spare money here to help you...... However, as you know, some slight interest is inevitable - nine out of thirteen, how about it? This is the market price, and besides, you are my friend, we think we can adjust the interest rate, let's go back out of nine! β
"Profiteers! You really are that profiteer! β
Our Mr. Behemoth looked Ye Qi up and down, as if he wanted to see the old man with a mustache and a sly smile all the time.
However, it's a pity that Ye Qi is still Ye Qi.
"Do you want to give up the party?"
Ye Qi said this sentence in a louder voice.
"How can you give up? How can you give up! β
"yes, we're looking forward to it!"
"Isn't Lord Ted always generous? Could it be a rumor? β
β¦β¦
The surrounding Solar-level witchers began to heckle loudly, and the faces of our Mr. Behemoth. It's a continuous change. Ultimately. He looked at Ye Qi.
"Ye, you're kidding, right?"
Ted asked, hopefully.
"Hmm...... Just giving examples! Ye Qi said in a deep voice, "However, the words behind are sincere!" The paragraph about interest! β
Suddenly, Ted's face was full of despair.
"It's reallyβit's too much!"
The bronze dragon girl, who had been standing next to her, suddenly shouted loudly.
Such a shout, immediately. made the chaotic crowd in front of him quiet; And Ted, who was still desperate before, waved his hands a little embarrassedly: "No, don't get me wrong, we're just joking - everyone is together, and jokes like this are common!" β
Obviously, Ted thought it was Leafy's new friend, and he didn't want to let the other person misunderstand anything, especially when he heard that nice sound.
From this point of view, Ted is undoubtedly a very righteous friend.
The next moment, though. Ted was stunned - the face of the collision and the previous pretense of expression, this time the stunned was real!
"Money thing. How can it be said to be a joke!! The red bronze dragon girl said righteously: "Even if you are a friend, you can't do this, at least eight out of nineteen!" Moreover, Ye doesn't have that much money, I can assure you - so, he needs to turn over to me, isn't this kind of friendship worth going out of eight? β
Suddenly, there was silence on the scene again.
After the witchers looked at each other, they involuntarily burst out with a big laughβ
"That's right, this kind of friendship will take at least eight out of nineteen!"
"Lord Ted, you can't afford to pay your debts!"
"Yes, yes, we're all witnesses!"
β¦β¦
In the midst of laughter, Ted looked at the bronze dragon girl in front of him who was still covering his appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched, he poked Ye Qi's arm with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Is she the long-lost daughter of that profiteer?" β
"Who knows?"
Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders and smiled and walked towards the Sandstorm Bar.
Behind him, the bronze dragon girl began to stand in front of Ted, and began to list the loan terms in great detail; And those Solar Witchers were all around with great interest, and from time to time they made one or two additions, so that Ted's face was almost touching the ground.
Pushing open the door of the Sandstorm Bar, Ye Qi walked in with a smile, the tight door, as if it was the dividing line between the two worlds, as soon as the door was closed, no sound could penetrate it.
"Libes, good sound insulation!"
Ye Qi said hello to Libes, who was standing at the bar, and then walked towards the only table of customers in the barβtwo men sat at the small round table, one holding a glass of wine as if full of preoccupation, and the other as if he was thirsty, picking up the wine and pouring it violently.
However, after seeing Ye Qi, both of them raised their glasses to Ye Qi.
Ye Qi walked over with a smile, pulled out a chair and sat down, and took the lead in introducing himself: "Ye Qi! β
"Moncarlo!"
The witcher, who was sipping his glass of wine as if he was full of concern, said.
"Jester!"
The other, as if he was thirsty, and the witcher, who picked up the wine and poured it violently, smiled and stretched out his hand and gave himself a thumbs up; Then, he patted Ye Qi on the shoulder hard, and said with a hearty laugh: "The famous Shak Dragon, the heir of that guy from Old John, is really amazing!" Still, I'm willing to bet that old John guy never thought you'd get to where you are now, hahaha......"
"It's because I've been too accommodating before!"
In the face of such praise, especially when it involved his teacher, Ye Qi could only express modestly - it was obvious that the two legendary witchers of the transcendent realm in front of him had an extraordinary relationship with his teacher; Otherwise, the previous title could not have been so intimate.
In fact, such speculation is not excessive; After all, the way the witcher acts, except for those real lone rangers, will always have a few good friends, and these good friends are like family members; To put it simply, if Ye Qi's teacher was present, then Ye Qi was sitting here. It's time to face these two as juniors.
"Don't be nervous. We're not stubborn and rigid guys! β
Jester laughed. He patted Ye Qi on the shoulder again, and directly handed a bottle of rum on the table to Ye Qi: "Come, take a sip, it's very useful!" β
"I don't drink!"
Ye Qi smiled apologetically.
"Don't drink?!"
Jester was obviously a little surprised, but then he twisted the bottle of rum on his own and poured it down in one gulp. After exhaling a heavy sip of wine, he said, "If you don't drink, life will be very boring!" β
"It's better than delaying things, right?"
Ye Qi spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders.
"Have you ever delayed things?"
Another legendary demon hunter of the Transcendent Realm, who had been silent, suddenly asked; This legendary witcher named Mon Carlo, even when he asked, there was a thick melancholy in his tone, as if he was going to part with life and death in the next momentβto Ye Qi's surprise, this atmosphere was not the kind of eyes and movements, but a breath; It's as if it's brought about by a special amount of force.
"Nope. Just worried! β
Ye Qi thought in his heart, but he answered truthfully.
"Since it hasn't happened yet. So what else is there to worry about? Come, have a drink! β
The legendary witcher named Moncarlo shook his head as if he was drunk in front of his friends, picked up an empty wine glass, and after reaching a third of the wine inside, he picked it up and handed it to Ye Qiβthe kind of rickety look that made one wonder if the next moment, this glass of wine was going to be scattered.
However, what made Ye Qi care more was that the melancholy 'feeling' on the other party's body, or the 'breath', became more and more intense, and even he couldn't help but think of something that he couldn't let go of and was extremely unhappy - naturally, this feeling was really terrible.
The memories that rolled out of his mind made Ye Qi, who had almost forgotten, subconsciously frown; Then, Long Wei, who had been suppressed, involuntarily let go of a trace -
Roar!
The low roar of a dragon, like thunder, suddenly appeared in this bar, making people tense; And Liebes, who was standing in the bar, chose to support the bar with his hands for the first time, trying not to fall to the ground; However, looking at his gritted teeth and insistence, it is obvious that he will not last long.
And the remaining two?
Jester smiled and continued to drink, unaffected.
Moncarlo, on the other hand, seemed to have encountered something more sorrowful, his eyes began to redden, his whole body seemed to be a teenager old, and the glass of wine he was holding trembled even more.
"I think it's better not to drink!"
And Ye Qi, who was originally in a state of sorrow, returned to normal in this dragon groan, and he suddenly said: "After all, once a habit is broken, then it will become another habit!" β
"Hahaha, Moncarlo, how's it going? Do you now agree that this is a disciple of old John? β
Jester laughed louder and louder, as if something great had happened, he picked up a bottle of rum again, and after pouring it in one go, he said: "Ye, this guy has no malicious intent!" It's just that some don't quite confirm your identity...... Well, the guys who lie in the Tower of Thorns are all such virtuous! β
"Tower of Thorns?"
Ye Qi was stunned and asked rhetorically.
"That's right, that's there - this guy is one of the torturers there, and of course, the Tower Protector; A person is a good person, but he is very suspicious! Jester said with a smile, "He's always thought that it was an unwise choice to appear in Ranch Town this time - and the person who made such an unwise choice must be verified!" β
Jester's words were very simple, and he didn't say much, but they revealed the importance of the Witcher's headquarters - so much so that Moncarlo, a legendary witcher, used this special ability to test it; Ye Qi still doesn't know the specific name of such an ability, but the specific role is quite guessed.
Emotional influence!
A strange but extraordinary talent!
Thinking about the identity of the other party's Tower of Thorns interrogator, everything is so reasonable - what is more suitable to be an interrogator than a person who can influence other people's feelings and manipulate their minds with feelings?
Of course, his special specialty, [Charm], is also okay.
However, compared to the other party's legendary-level ability at the moment, [Charm] undoubtedly has considerable limitations - perhaps, there are some aspects that he has not yet opened, but from the current point of view, it is undoubtedly more suitable for the other party.
"Luckily, my bloodline is special and doesn't need to be verified too much!"
Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders and smiled; Then, after a slight pause, he asked, "Headquarters takes this operation very seriously...... However, what ...... for?"
Before Ye Qi's words were finished, Jester and Mon Carlo had already understood what Ye Qi wanted to ask, and the two of them laughed bitterly together.
"Are you wondering why the headquarters doesn't send more people?"
Moncarlo, the legendary witcher, said sadly - compared to the previous ability rendering, Ye Qi can be sure that the sorrow at this time is real and comes from the heart!
"Hmm!"
Ye Qi nodded, and then asked, "Is something wrong?" β
