Chapter 43: The Ruins. Wizard's Laboratory

"Is it necessary to be so surprised?"

Seeing his friend's appearance of almost jumping up, Felibe immediately snorted lightly with disdain, and said, "It's just a stinky little ghost who doesn't know etiquette and is arrogant!" There are no advantages at all! ”

"I can totally understand what someone is saying! After all, everyone has a jealous heart! ”

Without showing any mercy to Felibe, Blaise looked at each other with a strange smile and said bluntly.

"Jealousy?! Who do you say is jealous? Is it possible for me to be jealous of him? What is there about him that I should be jealous of! ”

Feribey immediately jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, but the birdcage-like cage immediately showed its solidity again; With a 'bang', Feribel shrank back with his head in his hands at a faster speed than before.

"Hahaha, hahaha, it's so funny!"

Such a scene was immediately exchanged for Blaise's merciless ridicule, and in bursts of laughter, Blaise raised his palms and began to explain to Feribel one by one-

"Of course you have a reason to be jealous! Lord Ye Qi was hailed as the most gifted man in the Age of Freedom by Lord Tata of the Moonlit Night, both in strength and otherwise; And that's what he got when he was twenty-three! Let me think about what Lord Hessel has said to you? After a slight pause, Blaise made a look of sudden realization: "Hmm...... Is it 'hard work will pay off'? Or is it 'frivolous on the surface, but kind at heart'? Such a passerby-like evaluation, can it be compared with His Excellency Ye Qi? ”

"Who, who's a passerby!"

Faced with the facts, Feribel stuttered a little when he spoke; And Brace simply ignored Felibe. continued.

"And. This was evaluated two years ago. After the incident at the Norsd family manor, His Excellency Ye Qi didn't need such comments to add prestige to himself, he already had enough records to prove himself - slashing five Solar level powerhouses, if you count the unlucky ghost Terry just now, it would be six! Known as the closest to the dragon of Shak above the Solar, it deserves its name! ”

"And that's where you can't help but be jealous!"

"However, it's just that it's strong!"

The friend's statement, which seemed to be a final word, immediately made Feribel refute it; But. This kind of rebuttal is obviously naïve to the demon hunters who wander in the Dark World - strength is the foundation, without strength, everything you do is like a castle in the sky; All it takes is a gust of wind to crumble and disintegrate.

"I think I've heard someone start arguing with words!" Blaise looked at Felibe's embarrassment, and immediately laughed happily: "Then let's put aside the strength of His Excellency Ye Qi and continue to talk about it, because of the strength, His Excellency Ye Qi's reputation has begun to spread among the older generation of witchers, but it has become the banner and the vane among the younger generation." Your Excellency Ye Qi's strength is about the same as yours, right? ”

At that time, he served as the branch president of Landingburgh for the first time. Facing the little bats of the Fanzhuo family, His Excellency Ye Qi's performance can be called excellent! His style of doing things, his friendship with his partners, his friendliness in the face of the weak, his indifference to the strong, and his calmness in the face of difficulties; All the young people are emulating it! Isn't this Your Excellency Ye Qi worthy of your jealousy? Or to put it another way, what reason do you have not to be jealous? ”

The fingers on Brace's palms were erected one by one, rubbing the top of his head Felibe wanted to open his mouth to speak several times, but he couldn't find a suitable reason, so he could only mumble in a low voice: "Aren't you ashamed to treat a stinky little ghost as an idol!" ”

"If you can do that, I have no problem treating you as an idol!"

Shrugging indifferently, Blaise looked indifferent; However, it was precisely because of this appearance that Felibe felt even more invulnerable, so that he had to shift his goals and change his tactics - in the face of difficulties, it is human nature to seek allies and get help; Especially here there happens to be such a being: Jacob; If Feribel doesn't take advantage of it and hit his friend, then he will really be sorry for the other party's smugness at this moment, and the cynicism he gave him before.

Although Feribel doesn't care about his friend's attitude, it doesn't mean that he can accept the fact that he was 'dumbfounded' by the other party - for a guy like Feribe, it doesn't matter if he fights or even loses a duel, he still doesn't care about eating and drinking the next day; But if you lose with your friends or other people, then the world will definitely fall apart, just like when Ye Qi was 'pushed' speechless.

As for whether Jacob will join in this boring conversation?

Usually Feribel doesn't have any certainty, but when the object of today's conversation is Ye Qi, Feribel has absolute certainty - as a celibate, although Feribel has no daughter himself, but when he looked at his friend's expression, he knew the sadness and helplessness after his daughter was taken away; Therefore, he is sure that his friend will have complicated feelings of hatred and love when facing that 'quasi-son-in-law' at this moment!

So, first he made a defiant gesture at Brace, and then, Felibe immediately turned his head to look at the silent Jacob, and shouted: "Jacob quickly tell the facts about that stinky little ghost, so that this guy is sober and sober!" ”

"Ye Qi, it's amazing! Whether it was himself or as a disciple of that adult, he was a great powerhouse! Jacob's hoarse voice slowly echoed through the room, leaving Feribey, who had been looking for an ally, dumbfounded.

"W-What?" Feribel looked at his friend in disbelief and said loudly, "Jacob, did you hit your head in the previous battle?" Yedki's stinky little imp is the one who took your adopted daughter Elsie away! When you mention each other, you just react like that? ”

"Ye Qi is Els's own choice, I will respect my adopted daughter's choice, not interfere!" Like an enlightened father, Jacob speaks of a blessing for his adopted daughter—and such a 'blessing'. Immediately made Feribel roll his eyes. Even the corners of Brace's mouth twitched.

back then. The young people around Elsie have all kinds of 'accidents' for some reason, what is going on?

Bastard, do you dare to report how many legs, how many arms, how many people you threw into the lake?

Almost immediately, Feribey and Brace, who had been fighting each other, turned their heads to look at Jacob together, their eyes widening, as if they wanted to see if they were their friends.

As a good friend of Jacob's. Feribel and Brace knew well what Jacob had done, 'That, any male who dared to approach my daughter, let me die', but the purpose was vivid—especially Feribey, as Jacob's faithful helper, and as the mastermind of some schemes, he remembered that there were times when those young men would not have broken their arms and legs if it weren't for his quick eyesight, no doubt. My friend's 'give me a damn' is completely serious.

But what's the deal with my friend's 'enlightened father' appearance?

After Blaise and Feribel glanced at each other, Feribel immediately said, "It can't be that Elsie is forcing each other to die, right?" ”

Apparently remove this idea. Feribel could not think of any other possibility—in the face of a father like Jacob, his daughter's threat to her life was undoubtedly the ultimate reason for him to give up everything; As for the ordinary case? Jacob would make the being who had caused his daughter to do such a 'dangerous' situation disappear forever, and of course, if he could, the former would be the same.

"Elsie wouldn't do something that would make me sad!"

Jacob shook his head calmly, and thinking of what the female cavalry commander usually did, Felibe and Blaise also nodded at the same time - the female cavalry commander who believes in the way of knighthood will definitely not solve the problem in a hysterical way; Justice, loyalty, fraternity, and mercy are the basis by which she decides things

"And, even if Elsie makes such a move, if that man doesn't get my approval? Do you think it helps? Leaning against the iron railing of the cage, Jacob continued: "In order to make my daughter mature, even if I will die of heartache, I will do it steadfastly!" ”

Feribey and Brace, who were nodding, immediately froze there—

This is Jacob, who 'loves his daughter'!

The two of them couldn't help but think at the same time.

"Although at first, Ye Qi's little ghost was as annoying as Felibe said, but at least he didn't use or have any idea of using Els!" Jacob thought back to the first time he met Ye Qi, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile: "Can you imagine that kind of unceremonious conversation between a Starlight-level apostle and a Moonlight-level apostle?" At that time, none of us knew that Ye Qi was a disciple of that adult, and even he himself didn't know about it; A little ghost who has no foundation dares to talk like this to a person whose strength is one order higher than himself, and whose strength is even higher than that of an unknown number of mortals, I am temporarily curious and decided to give him a chance! ”

And he didn't disappoint me! Don't give up in the face of friendship, I'd rather risk my life! He is not merciless in the face of the enemy, but he has his own bottom line, and he will not look down on the weak with the eyes of the strong! With this quality, I gradually accepted the fact that he was with Els! ”

"And, using this ruin under development as a bargaining chip, in exchange for Ye Qi's safety from that madwoman?"

Blaise sighed lightly, and continued—as a friend, he knew the inside story of Jacob's abandonment of the ruins; In this regard, Brace did not choose to persuade, but chose to support; What is the wealth of a relic compared to a family? What is magic equipment? Even if there were a Hallow, what was it?

"Yes, it's just that I didn't expect Ye Qi to be the disciple of that adult, everything turned around at the time of that apostle competition!" Thinking of the scene at that time, the smile on the corner of Jacob's mouth became more and more intense, and his figure leaning on the iron railing stretched out more and more: "Do you know how excited I was when I learned the news? I only know that neither Elsie nor Ye Qi will be fine, under the protection of that adult's sword blade, no existence in the world can hurt the two of them! ”

"However, you guy definitely didn't expect that Ye Qi's stinky little ghost would have such amazing growth!" Felibe also followed Jacob's example. Leaned against the iron railing. Pouting though. But in his tone, he was convinced: "Twenty-five-year-old Sun Solar level, and he can kill Sun Solar of the same level at will; Such an existence is really a genius! Presumably, the lord was also surprised by his disciple...... Hmm, or is it the son's achievement? ”

"Your Excellency Ye Qi doesn't know your own background, what are you speculating about here?" Blaise glanced at his friend and said pretending to be generous: "However, for the sake of your admiration for His Excellency Ye Qi, I won't care about you!" ”

"Bastard! Bastard! Who was impressed? And. Have you heard of any other dragon bloodlines? ”

Someone's tone just now was completely admired! Did I hear it wrong? Blaise stretched out his little finger and plucked out his ear, "Besides, I've heard of other dragon bloodlines!" ”

"Other dragon bloodlines? Where is it? ”

In the face of his friend's 'provocation', Feribey didn't care at all, his attention was completely attracted by a message from his friend's mouth, and Jacob on the side also looked at Brace in surprise - as a senior tower protector, he had read a lot of secret information about the witcher's headquarters; Especially because of his worship of that lord back then, he had an extraordinary attachment to the dragon clan.

However, according to the information within the Witcher's headquarters, before the Dark Ages began. The dragon itself has completely disappeared with the disappearance of Dragon Island, leaving only a few beings with dragon blood for special reasons - but. Even if such a existence exists, it is very rare; Except for one of the sixteen wizard emperors who actually had the blood of a dragon, most of the other existences with the blood of a dragon were rumors and could not be investigated at all; Especially the changes of thousands of years have made most people think that the dragon bloodline is just a legend.

It wasn't until another man with dragon blood appeared during the Age of Freedom that people discovered that the dragon bloodline they thought had been cut off for a long time really existed—and that man was Ye Qi's teacher: Lorant's Juggernaut.

Other than that, Jacob hadn't heard of or detected the existence of other dragon bloodlines, and based on the intensity and seriousness of his investigation at the time, Jacob didn't think he would miss anything - as a demon hunter known for searching for various ruins and secret treasures, Jacob was sure of this.

But, again, Jacob didn't think Blaise would lie, even when he was arguing with Felibe, and as a good friend, he knew this - and it was because he knew this that Jacob looked forward to it even more.

Could it be that in addition to that Lord and Ye Qi, there are other dragon bloodlines.

Although all his attention was on Blaise who was on Feribe, he still saw the expectation in Jacob's eyes, and Blaise, who knew what was going on, made a 'calm and impatient' gesture to Jacob, and immediately put on a victor's posture towards Feribe-

"Come on, as long as you admit your admiration for His Excellency Ye Qi, I will tell you!"

"You, you...... This guy, this is pure robbery while the fire is burning! ”

Feribel pointed at Blaise, his eyebrows almost squeezed together—for Feribé, any secret, anything that no one else knew about would arouse his endless curiosity; And anything strange or strange will make him desperate; And what was more curious to him than the recognized 'lost thousand-year-old dragon bloodline'.

But the thought of wanting that little ghost to say something 'admiring' made him embarrassed—curiosity and embarrassment, as if they were twin brothers, entangled in Feribe's heart, made him not only in a dilemma, but even irritable; Although he could not pac back and forth in this birdcage-shaped cage, he could see a thing or two just by looking at his hair and trying to compare his head with the hardness of the iron railing.

"So, do you want to know the way?"

Blaise laughed like a fox looking at a hen - looking at the thief's triumphant smile, although a little frustrated, Feriber knew that he had appeared as a loser in this 'conversation', and that this loser would stay with him for a long time, after all, if the winner of a 'topic' had only 'mocked' the loser, then they would not have had countless 'topics' in the two years they had been together.

The loser is 'ridiculed', but he is not willing to lose, and he does his best to lead to 'victory' - this is the quality of the witcher, and this quality is vividly reflected in the two of Feribey and Brace; Even if the essence of the matter is just because of the existence of 'bickering'.

Thankfully, there is the secret of the dragon's bloodline that has been lost for a thousand years!

As soon as he thought of what he was about to know, Felibe immediately swept away his frustration and was ready to admit defeat with a 'sincere attitude'-

"If you can, please tell me more about it, I would be grateful!"

Before Feribel could speak, a young, but calm voice came from the entrance of the room.

With the sound of the words, a figure slowly walked in, and the bell on the handle of the knife shook slightly as the footsteps advanced, making a crisp sound.

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell......

It's like a gentle breeze.

Looking at this figure, the three demon hunters who were locked in the cage were stunned at the same time.
