Chapter 6 Waiting
At night, the mist that appeared over the Sennuma District made the whole moonlight look extremely hazy; If it weren't for the light of the fire coming from behind the low wall of the ruins, Stofe would never have imagined that he would encounter a lone traveler in the Sennuma District at night—the Sennuma District at night is dangerous for any traveler, especially a solo traveler like this, which is like a nightmare; For you have no idea when the earth will turn from a swamp under your feet, or what kind of beast lurks behind you, or even simply a creature of darkness—1-
Of course, more importantly, as one of the three major characteristics of the Qiannuma District, those criminals who are wandering and wanted are the most favorite travelers who go on the road alone; After all, most of the time, such travelers mean that they will have an extra income—while the people of Sennuma accept currency issued by the highest government and Kimpton, which has been issued since the Dark Ages, more often than not, the people of Sennuma still follow their ancestral tradition: barter.
Moreover, in a zone like Chinuma District, no one will ask you where these items came from or how they came from—as long as they are not bloodstained, they can be exchanged for them; After that, most of these items will appear in the bazaar, except for their own needs; And this is not only the only income for the people of Sennuma District except for the responsibility and tour guide to collect medicinal herbs, but also the means for most of the wandering and wanted criminals who come to Sennuma District to survive in exchange for food.
As a result, any solo traveler will be targeted most of the time as soon as they leave the gathering place where the people of Sennuma live; Often, after the first night, these individual travelers disappear forever from this world—most of the time, of course, with many exceptions; For example, you who are on the road alone are one of those wandering and wanted beings.
Therefore, when he saw Ye Qi, Stofei immediately carefully looked at the man behind the low wall of the ruins on the other side - there was no panic or hideousness in his expression, which was enough to show that the other party was not the wandering and wanted criminal often seen in the Thousand Swamp District; And a traveler's outfit is not new, coupled with the attitude shown to him by the other side. As well as the posture of holding a knife and a gun, Stouffer could tell that the other party was an experienced traveler.
However, as the distance between the two sides approaches. When Stofei saw the gun in the other party's hand, he was unconsciously stunned, then raised his eyebrows and stopped at the same time. Look at it again.
Seeing Stofei's expression, Ye Qi couldn't help but shrug his shoulders helplessly, of course he knew what Stofei was thinking - unlike the demon hunters who pursued practical results, Old Doug parted to Ye Qi as an invitation from his son. and made Ye Qi face several embarrassing compensations; This M1911 starts from the body of the gun to the butt of the gun has carved ivy-like gold and black patterns, especially the butt is covered with a layer of crystal, the whole gun completely gives people a handicraft-like feeling.
Regardless of whether they have a soft spot for weapons or not, anyone who sees this M1911 will love the sophistication of this gun from the bottom of their hearts - in fact, from the moment they got this M1911, just by the magazine and barrel, Ye Qi immediately deduced that this gun rarely had a chance to be used. Most of the time it exists as an ornament; But. Judging from the well-cared for body of the gun, and even the traces of every bullet being wiped, Old Doug undoubtedly liked this gun very much, if it wasn't for wanting to 'compensate' himself, Ye Qi was sure that the other party would never give it away easily.
Except, of course, compensation. Ye Qi thinks that old Doug is doing this more as a gesture of goodwill! …,
As for what you want to show goodwill?
From the moment they entered the bazaar, the old Doug family was taken away by the lady from another nearby treehouse. After being invited to the first floor of the small building where she lived, the surprise and thought of the other party looking at her was enough to explain it all—although old Doug thought he was doing it very secretly. But under Ye Qi's perception, the actions of ordinary people like Old Doug are simply nothing to hide.
Old Doug could see that Lady Galia's intentions, and Ye Qi could naturally see it, and even 'see' it more clearly than Old Doug - from breakfast, in Ye Qi's perception, the other party's eyes almost never left him; Even if it was a beautiful lady who was staring at him, it still made Ye Qi feel unnatural; Especially the inexplicable look in the other party's eyes, which made him instinctively feel inappropriate.
Ye Qi was very sure that it was definitely not looking for an indulgent and exciting look, but more like a look like he had found a new plaything - the excitement in this look was exactly the same as the look of a group of young children when they participated in their first practical biology class and saw the frogs that were placed on the podium ready to be dismantled.
Faced with such a look, Ye Qi, who originally wanted to stay overnight, immediately changed his mind and chose to go on the road immediately - whether it was the idea that he didn't want to entangle with the rest of the team, or the eyes that were now regarded as a frog to be dismantled, they were urging him to leave quickly.
"Don't worry, it's not robbed, cheated, or stolen; It is a gift from a friend when I was parting with a friend at the previous fair! ”
Ye Qi looked at the Stoic who stopped and looked at him, and explained loudly - such a handicraft-like gun is definitely not something that ordinary people can have, and its own value is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people; Even with the amateur eye of Ye Qi, he can assess that this M1911 is worth at least two hundred Kimptons; Obviously, it is absolutely impossible for an being like 'Finger' to possess a two-hundred-kimpton weapon.
While Bernadette. Taylor wrote the word rich when describing the information of 'Finger', but the wealth is only beyond the level of ordinary people, and it is not a star and a half away from the rich; and a real rich man, even if he is dressed ordinarily, but some small items are enough to show the difference between him and ordinary people-just like the previous convoy in which all the people in his convoy were dressed in high-end traveler's clothes only for the rich, although the clothes were already very high-end, but compared with these clothes, these people's fingers, wrists, Jewelry in places such as the neck is the place that truly reflects its own value.
And these are undoubtedly not possessed by 'Finger' - Finger, who was born as a farmer, obviously does not keep ornaments worth nearly 100 cows or horses on his fingers and wrists.
"Your friend is definitely worth a lot!"
After Stofei responded, he kept a safe distance of ten yards between the two sides, and bypassed Ye Qi to the other side of the witch's ruins. Instead of regenerating fire, she sat down straight - compared to other large ruins, the witch ruins were undoubtedly a miniature existence. Even if the subsequent chambers are included, they are nothing more than a small temple with only the main building; As a result, Stofe maintained a safe distance of about ten yards between them, which was almost the maximum width of the outer chamber where the witch's ruins were located. The two men sat almost diagonally.
Moreover, Ye Qi was sure that if the foundation of this outer chamber, which was already only a ruin, was a little larger, the distance between the two would still be able to expand—obviously, for his previous explanation. The Stophi did not accept or believe!
The existence of parting gifts worth 200 Kimpton can be given casually, even in the Sennuma District, which is famous for its three characteristics: criminals, tour guides, and rich people, it is rare - in this regard, Ye Qi can only shrug his shoulders as 'Finger' again, he doesn't care whether Stofei believes it or not, and he pays more attention to what the Stoic Witch Ruins are for than whether Stoic believes it. …,
Although he didn't spend much time with Stouffy before, with his understanding of Stouffy's personality, the other party himself was a very enthusiastic person. Anything was found. Even if it doesn't matter to you, you will get involved; For example, if you find a traveler with an item that does not match your value, you will definitely ask about it seriously.
But now it was just a hasty end to the conversation, which was definitely not in line with Stouff's character, and Stouffy's speed of sprinting with all his might in the blind fight perception when he came - no doubt, it was a sign that something big had happened, and Stoy had no time to pay attention to other existences.
Is it a new relic discovery? Or is it a dark creature attack?
After thinking about the possibility of such a change in the Thousand Swamp District, Stofe can have this kind of change. Ye Qi quickly shook his head - if it was the former, there was no doubt that Jacob was the expert. If it is to come, it should be Jacob; And if it's the latter, Fendi, known as the black bat. and Fendi's squad will definitely go with them; In the face of dark creatures, any caution and caution is the guarantee of life, this is the lesson that countless previous demon hunters have exchanged their blood and lives for, any qualified demon hunter will abide by it, and Stoic is no exception.
And whether it is the former or the latter, it is impossible for Stofei to sit here and wait with a solemn expression as he is now-if it weren't for Stofei just sitting there waiting, and Ye Qi has repeatedly confirmed that no outsiders have entered the secret room in the witch ruins, Ye Qi would definitely think that the witch has been discovered; After all, beyond that, Ye Qi couldn't think of anything around the witch ruins that was worth Stouffer doing for the time being.
Who are you waiting for?
Putting some dry wood into the bonfire again, Ye Qi, who took out the notebook with a message again, peeked at the Stouffie who had been holding his own weapon javelin in his arms since he sat down, motionless - although I don't know who Stofei was waiting for, but from Stouffy's expression and actions, the other party was definitely not a friendly existence such as a friend.
However, Ye Qi didn't care if the other party would have malicious intent towards Stofe; Even in the guise of 'Finger', he was sure that Stofe would be safe and sound—aside from the witcher's wariness of strangers, the witcher was quite warm and friendly to his acquaintances; Therefore, Ye Qi did not mind helping the Stophil who had provided him with convenience.
As for the Stofe's same wariness of strangers as witchers?
When necessary, Ye Qi didn't mind causing some small accidents to make Stophi fall asleep directly, knowing that this was not too difficult for Ye Qi who had brought several potions made by his friend Ava; In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't know the truth and worried that it would cause an accident, with several potions made by Ava, Ye Qi could have unknowingly put Stoic into a coma and then solve everything for the other party.
Therefore, Ye Qi chose to wait - with the punctual attitude of the witcher to the appointment, as long as the other party was on time, Ye Qi believed that he would not have to wait too long; In fact, since Stouffy appeared, when Ye Qi added dry wood to the bonfire in front of him for the second time, there were several fluctuations in the range of Blind Fight's perception.
Everyman?
Feeling the intensity of each fluctuation, Ye Qi secretly frowned - almost half of them were the fluctuation intensity of ordinary people, and the remaining half Although seriously, the amplitude of the fluctuation was beyond that of ordinary people. But the range beyond is not much, and it is still in the range of ordinary people; It is not to the level of an apostle, a high-ranking witcher, at most the level of a well-trained soldier!
Obviously. This level of existence is simply not enough for Stouff, who has a holy weapon as a weapon and whose own strength has reached the peak level of the star level; If the number is several times higher, it may cause a little trouble for Stofe. But with the number of only ten people in front of him, as long as Stofei wanted to, he could completely end the battle face to face in a few breaths. …,
A pathfinder stone or a messenger?
Ye Qi, who lowered his head and fiddled with the bonfire in front of him, categorized these people; And Stofei, who had been sitting opposite Ye Qi with a solemn expression, raised his head sharply after a moment. Looking in the direction of the visitor - the Sennuma area at night has all the common denominator of the wild environment: darkness and silence; Any light source and sound will travel a considerable distance in such an environment; This is especially true when the other party has not concealed their arrival in the slightest.
With huge headlights and roaring engines, even ordinary people can clearly see and hear them from a certain distance, let alone a trained witcher - it should be a modified motorcycle, with a master-level mechanical modification. Ye Qi was slightly recognized. to distinguish the real means of transportation used by the other party; Obviously, compared to bulky cars, motorcycles are more suitable for driving in places with complex terrain such as Sennuma District; Moreover, judging from the speed at which the other party is driving at the moment, the other party is extremely familiar with the surrounding environment.
Ordinary people are mixed with some beings who have reached the level of trained soldiers. Add to that the familiarity of your surroundings and the possibility of being a pathfinder and messenger. The identity of the other party was immediately revealed—what could be better than a wandering, wanted criminal who is one of the three characteristics of Sennuma District?
Compared with the natives of the Sennuma District, these foreign beings are undoubtedly more willing to accept some special commissions. As long as they don't leave Chinuma District and enter the area of the highest government, and have a reasonable price, they don't mind what kind of things they do; After all, most of them did this before they entered the Sennuma District.
"If you don't want to get into trouble, put out your campfire!"
The cat-hedged Stofei stared into the distance, apparently identifying the other party; And after a while, he turned his head to Ye Qi and said - try his best not to involve ordinary people in the dark world he is in, and only when he encounters an existence that is entangled in blood and grief like himself, will he confess everything, this is the principle that all demon hunters adhere to.
"Good sir!"
With a stunned look, Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders as 'Finger', and then quickly showed the qualities of a traveler who has lived in the wild all year round - a pile of soil that had been ready to extinguish the fire was piled on the tarpaulin, Ye Qi's hands pinched the two ends of the tarpaulin straight, and then slammed it diagonally upward; Immediately, the dirt that had been piled on the tarpaulin slipped into the campfire; And after being stepped on by Ye Qi a few times and stomped on several of the large mud blocks, the extremely strong bonfire that was still burning before had been completely extinguished.
And after doing all this, as an 'ordinary person', Ye Qi obviously heard the roar of the engine and the headlights that were dazzling in the dark night, and continued to keep a safe distance from Stofe, Ye Qi quickly crouched behind the low wall parallel to Stofei's position, raised his head and glanced out, retracted his head, and asked with a worry peculiar to wild travelers, "These can't be your troubles, right?" ”
"Don't worry, as long as you don't make a sound, you won't be implicated!"
Stouffen, who obviously understood what Ye Qi was "worried about", said straight - Ye Qi naturally did not doubt this, but his face still had the doubts of a traveler unique to 'Finger'.
"Stophi? Stophil? Are you here? ”
The roar of the engine stopped, but the headlights of the motorcycle were not turned off, shining all around; At the same time, a tall man walked out and shouted loudly in the direction of the witch ruins - by the light, both Ye Qi and Stofei clearly saw that the ten people in front of him were all carrying gunpowder weapons, especially the tall man who shouted, holding a T1 in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was faintly aimed at the witch ruins in front of him.
"I'm coming!"
As soon as the other party's voice fell, Stofe walked out of the witch ruins without hesitation.
"Sure enough!"
The tall man looked at Stofe who appeared in the light, and couldn't help but laugh, and then suddenly waved his hand with a hideous face: "Shoot, kill him!" ”
