Chapter 208: Traces V.
After about ten minutes of walking along the path of the Emerald Collar, the cobblestone roads were completely gone, and after a few minutes forward, only dirt roads remained—not the kind that were tamped, but the most natural ones, the ones that would raise dust when the wind blew up, and muddy ones when it rained.
However, because of this, the traces left on it allowed Ye Qi to discern the general direction in which he was going.
Unlike Lorant, Goldz was unable to show the way after the stars in the sky were replaced.
Plants also seem to be a little different from the existence of the gods of nature because of the birth of the 'new gods' - at least Ye Qi can't discern what is going on with plants that grow luxuriantly in all four directions.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Qi can only learn from Sitz. The words Nick had said and the traces in front of him.
"According to Sitz. Nick said that there are two collars around the Emerald Collar, one of which is opposite to the direction I am heading towards the Divine City, and the other is the same, and he said that he is going with the flow from the Emerald Collar...... Then this fork in the road, apparently not! ”
Ye Qi stood at the fork in the road, glanced to the left-hand side, and walked straight forward.
"Goddez is still called the kingdom of God, and the influence of the 'new gods' on the entire plane is almost omnipresent...... It's quite bad for me; However, it is not absolute - there is no shortage of those who disregard the common good for their own selfish interests, and these 'new gods' are ...... from people."
Ye Qi thought about the situation he needed to face, and some general directions began to appear.
And at this time, behind him. But there was a sound of horses' hooves.
"Joe! Joe! ”
Schitz. Nick's voice rang out.
Ye Qi looked at the young man chasing after him on horseback in amazement—the previous meeting with the other party's father. Obviously extremely unpleasant. With the character of the other party's father, he will definitely not let the other party follow, and even strict guarding is inevitable; Therefore, Ye Qi didn't expect the other party to follow at all.
However, it was only the other party who followed.
"I'm finally catching up with you...... I'm so sorry for what happened before - my father, sometimes, was always so stubborn! ”
The young man on horseback stopped beside Ye Qi. Then, he said apologetically.
"With the stubbornness of your father, how could he have let you out? What's more, it's still a night horseback ride! ”
Ye Qi pointed to the horse behind the young man, he could see that it was a well-trained war horse, but this did not diminish the danger of riding at night.
No one dares to do this unless they are skilful knights; After all, something like a broken leg, when riding a horse at night. It's all too common.
"I escaped, with the help of Duret and Cerdo!"
The young man smiled sheepishly. However, there was a hint of pride in his smile, obviously proud of his success.
"Your father, I guess he hates me to death now, and the pursuers will be there soon!"
Ye Qi said with a sigh.
"This, this...... If you are a pursuer, you will not be able to find them until at least tomorrow morning at breakfast...... Durrey, the four of them were able to cover up the road at that time! ”
For a moment, the young man could not find any words, only another question.
"If you don't want the four of them to suffer, I think you should go back - you see, my relationship with you doesn't negate your friendship with the four of them, and they are willing to take such a big risk for you, do you know what will happen to them if they are exposed? Look, you're also well aware! ”
Seeing the young man's face change several times, Ye Qi laughed.
He felt the kindness of the other party, but he couldn't let other unrelated people be hurt because of such kindness - with the character of the other party's father, Ye Qi could even guess what kind of treatment the four young people would be treated once the matter in front of him was exposed.
Although it may be an exaggeration to have a ruined future, it will directly decline its status.
And this is just to help him, an 'outsider'.
Obviously, Ye Qi couldn't accept it calmly, after all, they couldn't be called friends.
Therefore, he persuaded the young man in front of him, looking at the other party's hesitant face, Ye Qi continued: "Are you here because of our previous agreement? ”
"Yes!"
The young man nodded affirmatively.
"Well, then, I have received this heart, and I will wait for you in the City of God, and if you can persuade your father, we may meet there—not in the way that it now implicates others...... Men need to rely on themselves to bear the consequences, not to pass the buck to others! ”
Ye Qi said with an unchanged smile.
"Yes, yes...... Okay, then take this horse! ”
The young man tried to find something to refute Ye Qi, but in the end, he didn't find anything, and just handed Ye Qi the reins of the horse in his hand.
This time Ye Qi did not refuse.
At the same time, Ye Qi asked again, "If you can, can you tell me the detailed route map to the Divine City?" Before, I already felt like I was going to get lost! ”
"Of course!"
The young man laughed, and then, in the next few minutes, informed Ye Qi in great detail about the route map to the Divine City.
Then, under Ye Qi's 'escort', he walked towards the Jade Lead.
The road at night was full of danger at all times, and Ye Qi didn't want anything wrong with the young man.
And when he walked less than fifty yards away from the Jade Collar Outpost, looking at the flickering torches in front of him and the large number of people, Ye Qi couldn't help but shrug his shoulders at the young man and said, "It seems that your father cares about you more than you think...... Go ahead, you don't need to worry about your father, and at the same time, as a man, you should also bear the responsibility of what you do! ”
"Hmm!"
After glancing at Ye Qi, the young man nodded slightly, and then, at Ye Qi's signal, walked quickly to the post where the torches gathered.
When he saw that the young man had indeed walked over, Ye Qi turned over and sighed slightly, then shook his head.
With the promise with the young man, Ye Qi did not give much hope.
It's not that Ye Qi slandered the other party's father, with the character of the other party's father, once the young man goes back, he will inevitably be monitored by more strict means.
Therefore, it is naturally difficult to complete the agreement with the other party.
However, this is the best result for both Ye Qi and the other party.
After all, no matter how strict he is, he is also the father of the other party, and by his side is just the adventurous spirit peculiar to young people, and in the final analysis, the relationship between the two parties is just one step closer than that of strangers - it does not take much, and after ten years, the other party will have a more direct understanding.
And Ye Qi didn't want to, the other party regretted it at that time!
"Drive!"
After glancing at the place where the torches gathered in the distance again, Ye Qi knocked the horse's belly, and suddenly, the war horse ran briskly.
This time, however, he was given the exact route.
