Chapter 261: Assassin
Ye Qi's proposal is just a proposal, he has no experience in participating in wars, he knows his position very well, and even Ted and Nofa are only slightly more experienced than Ye Qi, on the contrary, Anwar, as the leader of the new Holy Knights, has considerable experience in small-scale battles; However, once it is extended to the overall situation, it is also insufficient; Therefore, everyone needs to discuss how to deal with it.
Of course, the few apostles in charge of the fortifications who accompanied the group this time helped the group a lot, and these apostles selected by the tower master of the moonlit night were all old men who had participated in the war twenty years ago, and not only had ability, but also had extremely valuable experience.
Thus, after a brief consultation, the opinions were gathered before the apostles, and a new discussion was begun based on their experience; And Ye Qi did not participate in this discussion - everything he could think of had already been said, and it was of very limited use to continue the discussion.
Therefore, after Ye Qi explained it directly to his friends and companions, he came to a relatively secluded place - whether it was a shadow knight or a shadow servant, or a shadow warrior, they were all extremely secret in front of everyone, and it was most convenient to find a secluded and uninhabited place for unnecessary misunderstandings and explanations.
It was a ramp that descended to the slope, at the end of which was a straight cliff, and below was the turbulent waters of the Rapids Strait, Ye Qi chose a position in the middle of the ramp, and with the sharpness of the Enma Knife, he dug a reef about five yards deep and about seven yards high, so that he could walk straight in. It is not a crowded cave.
It is sheltered by rock walls all around. Even the Shadow Warrior will not be damaged in the sun. Not to mention the Shadow Knights and Shadow Minions; However, under the restraint of the Shadow Knight, the Shadow Servants and the Shadow Warriors were arranged in the shadow of the cave in a very orderly manner, shrinking into a ball like a thick mist.
Obviously, even though there are almost ten times the number of Shadow Minions, the Shadow Warriors are still qualitatively different from the Shadow Minions, at least in the center of the sphere, only the Shadow Minions, and the Shadow Warriors are all leaning on the periphery. And those closer to the center are undoubtedly about to transform.
Lifting the negative electrode ring, a thick black mist immediately enveloped the ball - after repairing the negative electrode domain with the help of the strange wolf, Ye Qi realized that the real function of this negative electrode domain was to store shadow creatures, as well as some special plants and animals, and the previous attack method was basically just an extension of the appendage.
With accessories as the main function, the ability in the field of anode can be imagined.
However, once corrected, its effect is self-evident.
"My lord, there are about thirty or so shadow warriors on the verge of degeneration. If you concentrate your strength, you can complete the transformation tonight! ”
The Shadow Knight said to Ye Qi with the power of the contract - after the repair was complete, not only the negative energy absorption was faster. And even the transfer is more flexible, of course, the main thing is to have a helper like the Shadow Knight who can see the virtual and the real.
"The negative energy in the negative electrode realm is temporarily transferred to you, and priority is given to those shadow warriors who can be transformed!"
With the constraints of the contract, Ye Qi was very relieved to hand over the temporary use rights of the negative pole domain to the shadow knight, and then, after a pause, Ye Qi continued to ask: "If you only rely on the negative energy of the negative pole realm, how many shadow warriors can be transformed?" ”
"Tell your lord, the energy of the negative electrode realm can be replenished, as long as you are in a place with heavy negative energy, you can continuously generate negative energy, giving the shadow warrior detransformation!" The Shadow Knight replied meticulously, but it was clearly not the answer Ye Qi wanted; After sighing secretly in his heart, although the Shadow Knight has wisdom, he is still very dull at some times, Ye Qi asked again, and said his question very clearly.
"I want the Shadow Warrior to become a shadow minion in the shortest possible time?"
"About a hundred, after which the negative electrode field will completely stagnate and need to replenish negative energy again; If you are reckless and overloaded, you can have about fifty more, but the negative electrode field will fall into a state of irreversible damage! After changing the way he was asked, the Shadow Knight finally said what Ye Qi wanted to know.
"If I rely on the natural cultivation of the balance of supply and demand in the negative electrode field, how long will it take to give birth to a shadow minion?"
Ye Qi continued to ask without stopping.
"It will take about thirty-one to thirty-two days!"
The Shadow Knight gave a rough, fairly accurate answer.
Thirty-one to thirty-two days?
No, that's a long time!
After hearing such an answer, Ye Qi immediately gave up the way of relying on natural nourishment to give birth to shadow servants, and instead chose a more direct way-
Depleting the energy of the negative electrode realm in a short period of time can create about a hundred shadow minions!
After that, you need to replenish the negative energy again......
Thinking of this, Ye Qi asked again: "How much energy is needed to replenish the negative electrode realm to the normal level, according to the standard of the last wave of enemies before dawn today?" ”
"Five hundred!"
The Shadow Knight paused slightly, apparently calculating, before giving an accurate answer.
Five hundred......
Today, the darkest creatures in the last wave before dawn were obviously some elites, only about fifty; Even if the quantity makes up for the quality, a night of fighting can only bring the negative electrode field to a normal level of energy; Obviously, it is also very uneconomical to rely on the negative electrode realm to directly catalyze the shadow minions.
After all, according to calculations, I only relied on the simplest way to transform nearly two hundred shadow minions in last night's battle......
It seems that cooperating with the Shadow Samurai in the negative field on the battlefield is the best way for the Shadow Servant to be born!
After summing it up, Ye Qi couldn't help but sigh like this - Originally, Ye Qi's idea was to rely on the negative pole realm to completely complete the transformation from a shadow warrior to a shadow minion, but. Obviously. Such a beautiful idea cannot be realized.
Since it is necessary to cooperate with the negative electrode field. Then a change is necessary!
Obviously, Ye Qi can't make the black fog fill as soon as he appears, and he looks like a villain boss, so he must change the negative pole field; However, fortunately, such a change is not a very difficult thing to do after the negative electrode field is completely repaired by the monster wolf. All you need to do is make a few simple changes to be able to use it in real combat.
Such a simple change was completely completed in about half an hour, with the Shadow Knight as a guard, Ye Qi sat down cross-legged and sensed the existence behind the 'glass wall' in the way of [Nameless Technique];
This subtle change. It's like a big tree that has lost a leaf. Even the most careful person is observant, it is very difficult to detect - however, Ye Qi is very happy with such a subtle change; Because, just this slight change, he has obtained the attribute of [Perception +1], if it is all completed, then what kind of change will it be?
Just think about it and it's exciting.
Of course, Ye Qi also had doubts - according to the strange wolf, this was a transcendent transformation of the soul, but he could clearly feel that he was very close to that realm, basically one step away; Such a comparison is naturally well-founded, and the legendary-level [physique] itself is the best comparison.
And judging from the current situation, wanting to penetrate the 'glass wall' is basically the first step of the long march, such a gap is naturally obvious; in this regard, Ye Qi wanted to ask the strange wolf, but after thinking about the other party's character, in the end, he still didn't speak, and was ready to explore on his own.
After all, once you ask the other party, you will inevitably be 'blackmailed', and with the other party's bad deeds, maybe you are waiting for this moment when you tell him that this kind of soul is transforming towards the extraordinary.
Therefore, Ye Qi chose to remain silent - of course, the bigger reason is that he and the other party are one in a sense, and there will be no hostile relationship at all, otherwise, if he finds out that something is wrong, Ye Qi would have chosen a more secure way long ago; And even so, Ye Qi at this time was still cautious.
Sensing the empty place, seeking the changes in it, or the existence that might appear in it, Ye Qi gradually and thoroughly entered the deep technique of the [Nameless Technique] - such a skill can only appear in the cooperation of the Enma Knife; However, it was precisely because of the cooperation of the Enma Knife that Ye Qi was able to become more familiar with the way at this moment.
When immersed in the deep [Nameless Technique], Ye Qi was unable to perceive the time of the outside world, and he was pulled out of the state of cultivation by the warning of the Shadow Knight.
At the moment when he just opened his eyes, an extraordinary fluctuation appeared in Ye Qi's [Blind Fighting Perception], which was very weak and hidden, but it could not be ignored, just like a poisonous snake in hibernation; After raising his hand to retract the negative pole realm and the shadow servants and shadow warriors in it, only the shadow knight was left by his side, and Ye Qi waited quietly for the other party; After all, looking at the direction of the other party, the target is undoubtedly him.
At a distance of less than one hundred and fifty yards, it took the opponent about thirty minutes, almost step by step, to move over, which shows the caution of the opponent; Even, after coming to this slope that went down, the other party tried no less than three times in a row, and it was not until the fourth time that he walked in.
However, as soon as he came in, looking at Ye Qi who was staring at him with his eyes, this uninvited guest immediately turned around and ran - compared to the previous snail-like way of advancing, this time the escape was fast enough, and it was almost as fast as lightning; However, it is obvious that compared with Ye Qi, who had been prepared for a long time, this speed is still a little slower.
A dodge, the shadow knight blocked the mouth of the cave, the black knight's sword in his hand turned into a phantom and stabbed towards the other party, at the same time, the shadow in the cave squirmed for a while, and there were twenty spikes shot out like this, wrapping the opponent's up, down, left and right, blocking the opponent's dodge and escape space.
In the face of such a blockade attack, the uninvited guest obviously knew that there was no room for his own dodge at all, so he immediately waved the dagger in his hand and rushed towards the black knight in front of him, and the dagger in his hand pointed directly at the gap between the helmet and the breastplate. a posture of fighting for life; If the Shadow Knight were a human. Then such an attack is bound to work. And only the shadow knight dodges alone, which will inevitably reveal a large space for the other party to escape.
However, it is very suspicious that although the Shadow Knight looks like a human in terms of armor, it is still essentially a shadow creature, at most, a more advanced shadow creature.
Hence this as a result. Nature speaks for itself!
Without a pause, the dagger was inserted into the gap in the armor, and the knight's sword also penetrated the opponent's abdomen, and then, the uninvited guest with an incredulous look prostrate on the ground, however, the abdomen did not appear to be sprayed with blood, but due to the invasion of negative energy on the whole body - the knight's sword of the shadow knight, which appeared black from the outside. It's like those Assassin weapons that have been specially treated to facilitate dark attacks. In essence, the knight's sword was completely made of shadow matter, and was full of negative energy.
Although slashing and stabbing will not bring out blood, at some moments, the invasion of negative energy can be much more serious than bringing out blood; Looking at this uninvited guest lying on the ground, you can understand.
"Shadow, Shadow Guard...... Actually, it turned out to be a shadow guard ......"
In the invasion of negative energy, it was as if the whole body was placed in the ice of ten thousand years, this uninvited guest trembled and said, the original sentence was interrupted several times before he finished speaking.
Shadow Guard?
What else is the Shadow Knight?
Such a question flashed in his heart, but Ye Qi looked at the uninvited guest who was crawling there with his head outward, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Joe, George!"
The uninvited guest reported a very ordinary name - such a name, so ordinary that ten people were drawn on a street, and more than three of them were all of such names; There is no doubt that this is very likely to be a pseudonym; However, Ye Qi did not pursue it, and he continued to ask, "Where did you come from?" ”
"Tallinn!"
The other party replied without hesitation.
"Tallinn? What are you doing here? ”
Ye Qi glanced at the other party playfully, and then continued to ask.
"Assassinate you, someone paid a lot of money!"
The uninvited guest's answer was still smooth; However, Ye Qi beckoned, and let the shadow knight give the other party another sword - obviously, starting from the other party's name, this uninvited guest did not tell the truth, maybe the last sentence is true, but its authenticity still needs to be identified again.
"Ahh Ahhh ”
The screams rang out as soon as the Shadow Knight's sword pierced into the opponent's thigh; However, without Ye Qi's order, the Shadow Knight did not take back the long sword, and stuck it in the opponent's thigh like this, allowing the other party to scream; In the negative electrode field blocked at the entrance of the cave, Ye Qi was not worried that the sound would come out.
"The sound here is cut off by me, no matter how loud the sound is, it won't come out, and even if it goes, it will only be my people!" Ye Qi walked in front of the other party and broke the intention of the other party's loud shout - he was stabbed in the chest by the shadow knight's shadow sword and didn't shout, Ye Qi didn't believe that he would scream so loudly after being stabbed in the thigh; Unless the other person's body structure is different from ordinary people, the thighs are full of various nerves.
"Let me remind you again, only the Holy See has a bounty for me, but it is clear that the current situation means that such a bounty will not be honored, on the contrary, whoever comes to assassinate me will inevitably be attacked by a group!" Ye Qi looked at the other party's stunned appearance as he spoke, and he couldn't help laughing: "Obviously, you don't know the news...... By the way, I am also from Tallinn, and the bounty of the Holy See should explain it! ”
"Although I should not have been famous at the time, my teacher was very famous, and with the personality of my teacher and that profiteer, he would definitely tell you all about the existence of some dangers in Tallinn...... If you had been there, you would have been one of those who would have been informed! ”
"Apparently not, though!"
Ye Qi narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke, and after the shadow knight on the side got Ye Qi's order from the bottom of his heart, he simply gathered the general shadow long sword in his hand and pierced it into the other thigh of the other party; Seeing that the other party gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, Ye Qi, who squinted slightly, couldn't help laughing: "If you don't say it, it doesn't matter; I've got a guess about where you came from! ”
"Yesterday, a pair of Hart brothers came to me and told me about Hotlier......"
Ye Qi stared at the other party as he spoke, although the other party had been trying to maintain a calm appearance, but no matter how real the expression on his face was, the changes perceived by the [Blind Fighting Perception] still made Ye Qi know that his guess was not wrong - the other party was from the bridge on the other side; After all, the Hart brothers had said yesterday when they left that Hotlier had a lot of enemies; Obviously, the other party is one of them.
However, the strength is so poor that I'm afraid that Hotlier was also disdainful of him at the beginning, right? Or is it because of this disdain that the other party has hatred?
With this in mind, Ye Qi began to search for something that could represent the identity of the other party - each organization in the bridge on the other side has a special symbol that cannot be counterfeited; And it didn't take much effort for Ye Qi to find a teardrop-shaped tattoo on the inside of the other party's wrist, exactly the same as the badge that the Hart brothers had shown him.
"Isn't that the sign of Springwater City? Where are you from? ”
Ye Qi raised the other party's wrist and examined it carefully.
