Chapter 13: The Ruins

"Moan"

A dragon groan suddenly burst out from Ye Qi's body, and the momentum like Mount Tai's top suddenly decreased in this dragon groan, and then shattered into countless parts.

With a faint mockery at the corner of his mouth, Ye Qi turned around, and looked at the person behind him with slightly narrowed eyes - slightly lower than ordinary people, but with a sturdy figure like a giant man, dark skin, and the whole person stood there as if he was half a city wall; What especially caught Ye Qi's attention was the other party's hands, the bones were thick, the skin was dull and dull, as rough as cowhide, and the green tendons were knotted together, which made people feel frightened and their scalps numb.

Tate clasped his hands together, and the joints resounded; Although the other party did not speak, his current posture had already shown everything, and his face showed contempt, but Ye Qi, who was vigilant in his heart, had already put his left hand on the handle of the Enma Sword, and Ye Qi and the apprentice apostles did not deliberately stop it; Therefore, everyone who enters and leaves the central castle can clearly witness the whole process, and there are two weeks before the Midwinter Festival, and the Apostles who are interested in participating in the records of the Demon Hunter Guild will appear near the Demon Hunter headquarters on these days to register; And Ye Qi made such a big movement, of course, it was impossible not to be noticed. As for the person in front of you? Obviously, it was the person who was attracted by the movement made by Ye Qi and had a strong interest

In addition to fighting for life and death due to irreconcilable contradictions, the unruly demon hunters usually have fights with each other; Of course, there are only a few stupid big sisters like Enid who challenge for the sake of challenges.

However, as soon as the other party spoke, Ye Qi realized that his luck was really good, except for a stupid big sister like Enid, he actually ran into another ......

"I'm Tate, I'm going to challenge you" After introducing himself, Tate said bluntly, "Let's have a fight"

As for how to deal with people like Enid, Ye Qi has some experience; Therefore, after seeing the other party's posture, Ye Qi turned around and left directly - in the face of people who are challenged like dog skin plasters, ignoring them is the best way to deal with them.

"You? Wait......"

Tate had obviously never experienced such a thing, and he was already waiting for Ye Qi to nod his head and have a happy battle; But what he was waiting for was Ye Qi's turn and left, and he was stunned at the moment; Then after reacting, he immediately shouted and chased after Ye Qi......

"Leaves? Tate? ”

The peculiar hoarse voice attracted the two who were pestering - Jacob, who had not seen him for a year, still wearing a coat and an apostle trench coat, a high-necked black sweater underneath, with a vicissitudes of life but a very charming smile, carrying a shabby travel bag on his back, he walked slowly from the front of the road in the distance, and he greeted the two.

"Jacob?" Ye Qi was slightly surprised—from his correspondence with the female cavalry commander, he learned that Jacob had left a farewell letter after recovering and had continued his journey to hunt demons; He never imagined that he would be able to meet each other here; Especially thinking of the happy appearance of the female cavalry captain after seeing the other party, Ye Qi, who looked at the other party, couldn't help but show a smile: "Long time no see, Jacob"

"Jacob, it's you" Compared to Ye Qi's normality, Tate once again challenged Jacob as he did to Ye Qi, and his voice was obviously a few points hotter than when he was against Ye Qi: "Jacob, my fateful opponent, let's have the ninety-ninth battle to our heart's content"

"How are you doing?" Like Yety, Jacob is obviously very experienced in dealing with people like Tate - ignoring the excited yelling of Tate, Jacob asks Yet, "Have you seen Els?" ”

"Well, we were together yesterday," Ye Qi nodded and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I only went back to Shak today, and I didn't see her when I went to the Ranger camp before," Jacob shrugged and replied honestly; Ye Qi smiled: "She should be on patrol, since she was promoted to captain, she has worked several times more"

"So, we?"

"No problem, I'm sure Elsie would love to see you"

Because of the female cavalry captain, the relationship between Yedge and Jacob is undoubtedly much closer, plus they have fought side by side before, especially since the two know a lot about people like Tate; Therefore, after looking at each other and smiling quite tacitly, they turned around and left.

"You ...... You ......" Tate looked at the two people who were drifting away, and yelled and chased after them: "Sure enough, it is worthy of my fateful opponent, and there is an opponent who is extremely optimistic about Lu, I must have a happy fight with you",

……

Because of Ye Qi, the Ranger patrol of the Female Cavalry Captain's battalion set up each break in the lobby of the Dolphin Bar; In this regard, the owner and his wife of the dolphin bar expressed a warm welcome - after all, the identity of the patrol of the female cavalry captain is the local performers of Shak in order to preserve and spread the knightly culture, and a group of performers such as the female cavalry captain is undoubtedly very attractive to tourists who come to Shak; Therefore, the tourists who followed the female cavalry captains into the dolphin bar not only made the dolphin bar objectively profitable, but also had great fame; Even after some heavy tourist publicity, the dolphin bar has become a must-stop place when visiting Shak.

"Jacob"

With surprise, the female cavalry captain stood up from the resting stool and looked at Jacob and Yedge as they walked through the door of the bar.

"Long time no see, my child" Jacob gave the female cavalry commander a hug from an elder, looked up and down, and smiled urgingly: "It seems that the relationship between you and Ye still needs to be further improved......"

As he spoke, there was an indeterminate laugh in Jacob's hoarse voice; In an instant, the female cavalry commander blushed with shame; As for Ye Qi? Obviously, a joke of Jacob's level could not make him feel shy; After all, after spending a long time with an unscrupulous old man like a profiteer, his immunity is not ordinarily strong.

Where did John and the profiteer go?

Looking at Jacob, who was inquiring about the current situation of the female cavalry chief, Ye Qi couldn't help but think of the two people who went on a trip to the World Realm again......

……

A certain high mountain, the top of a mountain.

Due to the volcano below the mountain range and the inexhaustible spring water at the summit, a natural hot spring is formed here.

The hot air in the hot springs, the verdant bamboo forest next to it, a ceramic wine jug and two wine glasses on a wooden tray - John and the profiteer were naked and with towels on their heads, leaning comfortably against the stone wall of the hot spring, squinting and tasting wine.

"How are you?" After a sigh of relief, John opened his squinted eyes and asked the profiteer; The profiteer, who submerged his whole body into the spring water, only showed a head, opened his eyes when he heard the words, and said with a little helplessness: "You are being eaten by that broken sword, it is a physical matter; Moreover, if you have rough skin and thick flesh and a strong body, of course the injury is easy to press; I've been cursed with that damn thing; Damn the Holy See, MD ......"

"If you weren't here to save me at that time, I'm afraid the Pope of the Holy See is already you now, right? And now you have to go incognito in order to save me, and you are cursed by the gods......" Looking at the profiteer who burst out with foul language, and the old appearance of the profiteer, John suddenly said: "Ward, do you regret it? ”

"Regrets? Cut" The profiteer pursed his lips disdainfully: "I won't regret knowing you, being friends with you is the luck of my life, as for that bullshit pope, whoever wants to be it, I have no interest in being a lackey, even if it is a high-level lackey raised by the gods."

The disdain of the profiteer made John silent for a moment, and then suddenly grinned: "Do you know Lu Dao, you were very sensational just now, what kind of luck in your life, do you want to see me moved to tears?" You cunning fellow."

"Cut you are the cunning guy" The profiteer also laughed loudly: "I myself have been touched by myself, you actually saw through it"

bite

In the midst of Da Lu's laughter, the two wine glasses touched slightly......

"Where's John, old Ward, you two bastards? Hurry up and come out and save people."

"My teacher Kuqi said that if you don't save her, she won't let you two old bastards go."

……

A shout from the forest below the mountain stunned the two people in the hot spring, and after hearing the latter sentence clearly, the two of them immediately changed their faces, and instantly shot out of the hot spring, grabbed the clothes on the bamboo, and flew towards the place where the shout came from.

……

"I'm really dying...... "Kutch woke up in a coma, and couldn't help but chuckle after looking at his surroundings, as well as Enid and John, who were sitting next to him; However, immediately the smile narrowed, and the gaze that looked at John became extremely angry: "Say, what is the relationship between you and Ye Qi's stinky son?" ”

"The relationship between the teacher and the disciple" John saw Kuqi wake up, and immediately walked to Kuqi's side, and when he heard Kuqi's question, he subconsciously replied; Kutch, who was originally just angry, immediately struggled to sit up after hearing John's words of "natural smoothness", stretched out his hand and pointed at John and shouted: "You bastard, you have lied to me for twenty years, and now, you still want to lie to me, who else are you besides that crazy woman in Pednange?" ”,

"Hey, Kutch, are you not fully recovered, why are you talking nonsense" John turned his head to look at the profiteer, his face full of doubts: "Is this fountain of life invalid, why hasn't Kuqi completely recovered?" ”

"It's impossible, it's all working on us, how can it not cure Kutch's internal injuries? Could it be that I hit my head and my memories are mixed up? The profiteer touched his chin and glanced at the churning spring with the same doubt, then walked up to Kuqi, crouched down, and asked tentatively, "Kuqi, do you still recognize me?" ”

"You get out of here, dead profiteer" scolded the profiteer angrily, Kuqi stared at John, took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and asked: "Say, Ye Qi, which woman did you have a child with?" ”

When John and the profiteer heard Couch's words, they were both stunned.

"Hmph, don't make excuses to deny it" Kuchi snorted coldly, using the facts she saw with her own eyes to prove everything: "When I was in Landinburgh, I saw with my own eyes that Yedchi's stinky son stirred up the dragon's blood when he fought with others again......"

"What?" With an exclamation, John jumped up directly, grabbed Kuqi's arm and asked, "Kuqi, what did you just say?" ”

"I said that I saw with my own eyes that Ye Qi's stinky man stirred up the dragon's blood when he fought with others again" Kuqi said word by word: "Don't try to fool around, I have been deceived by you for twenty years, and I will not be deceived by you again"

Giant dragon bloodline, Ye actually has dragon bloodline, what the hell is going on......

John didn't hear what Kutch was saying at all, and at this moment, his whole mind was completely shocked by the news......

No way, John shouldn't have an heir, is it......

Thinking of a possible profiteer, he suddenly showed an expression of surprise......

"Bastard, you two bastards, did you hear what I'm saying?"

Looking at the two people who were stunned, Kuqi was completely angry, and despite his weak body, he still stood up and punched the two of them.

As for Enid?

She was also full of doubts now, because she felt that the two people in front of her seemed to be very familiar, one of them seemed to be the profiteer owner of Daddy's Bar in Tallinn; However, there are some uncertainties; After all, how could her teacher associate with a profiteer, and even treat him as the last straw......

……

The female cavalry commander went to complete the patrol mission that was not completed today—and even her personalities, Ye Qi and Jacob, did not stop them, but returned to Ye Qi's tent in the ranger camp, waiting for the female cavalry captain to return from the mission.

"How did you come back to Shak?" Even Tate, who followed up with a dead face, sat down together, and after Ye Qi poured black tea for the two of them and himself with a tea tray, he looked at Jacob who was holding the teacup, and asked directly: "Don't tell me that you are also here to participate in the apostle competition."

"Of course I'm not here to participate in the Apostle Tournament, after all, my ability is not suitable for ring fighting, and I have no interest in ......"

Although he has not yet fully understood what Jacob's apostolic ability is, after fighting side by side, Ye Qi also has a certain understanding of Jacob's combat methods; Indeed, as he said, in a place as restrictive as the ring, the power of firearms has been extremely limited; A good hand who is good at using a gun, as soon as he is approached, he becomes powerless like a tiger with no minions; Therefore, Ye Qi did not deny Jacob's words, but nodded and listened to the other party continue.

"I'm coming back this time to take advantage of this apostle contest to find some help," Jacob's words immediately aroused Ye Qi's interest - you must know that unless the relationship between the demon hunters and the apostles is excellent, they will not ask for help from others with their rebellious personalities; And Jacob uncharacteristically said that he was going to seek help this time, obviously in great trouble, and it was already the kind of life and death; Ye Qi frowned lightly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Although Ye Qi adheres to the principles of "clean and self-friendly" and "never meddling in things", because of the female cavalry captain, Jacob is obviously not within the scope of this idler and idle business.

"It's not as serious as you think" Seeing Ye Qi's solemn appearance, Jacob immediately waved his hand and chuckled: "I have a ruin in the Thousand Swamp District, but this ruin is too big, I have been digging alone for seven months, but I haven't even excavated the tip of the iceberg of the entire ruin; So, I'm coming back this time to find some reliable people to help me dig together, after all, I don't want to be a close relative of a groundhog for the next ten or even twenty years."

Relic?

Ye Qi looked at Jacob in amazement, and since there was a clear written record, Lorant had gone through nearly five thousand years of history; From the earliest barbaric years and dark ages to the modern era of freedom, there have been several different periods, each of which has been destroyed and buried in countless towns due to various reasons such as natural disasters**; And because witchers who track dark creatures often come to places that are not marked on the map, and in these inaccessible places, there are usually ruins hidden by the wheels of history.

It's just that, with the passage of time, the ruins continue to be excavated; In the last dozen years, there have been no rumors of a new ruin in the entire Demon Hunter Guild; Ye Qi didn't expect Jacob to have such good luck

To be able to call it good luck by Ye Qi, these ruins certainly have a desirable place - holy weapons

That's right, it's a holy artifact

According to records, an excavation of ruins more than twenty years ago harvested six holy weapons, even if none of them reached the Moonlight level and the Solar level, but the appearance of six Starlight-level holy weapons at one time also caused an unprecedented sensation at that time, and even brought a wave of excavation of relics; It's just that there was no such good luck in the subsequent excavations, and even some demon hunters got nothing more than an empty shell after spending a lot of energy and financial resources......

But that didn't stop the enthusiasm of the witchers; After all, it is a holy weapon that can be used as a family heirloom through the ages, and it is a holy weapon that can make it rise above everyone else, and even if you are lucky, you can build a family hallows that can be established

This craze lasted for almost a decade before disappearing because the ruins continued to be revealed until they were exhausted - Ye Qi could already see that after Jacob handed over the news to the Demon Hunter's headquarters, it would be shocked, and it would definitely lead to another excavation boom As for the present person of Jacob's ruins, if there is a holy weapon in the ruins, there is definitely one that has already been booked by him

"Ye, are you interested in participating?" Jacob made an invitation to Ye Qi: "If there is a suitable holy weapon for you, I will help you fight for it"

Hearing Jacob's invitation, Ye Qi immediately frowned - the temptation of the holy weapon for the witcher is naturally self-evident, and Ye Qi is no exception; However, he had more important things to do, and he simply didn't have time to waste on excavating the ruins......

Therefore, despite some regrets, Ye Qi still shook his head and rejected Jacob's kindness: "After the Midwinter Festival, I still have some things; So, I'm sorry, Jacob......"
