"If you tell me in advance, it's not called fighting, it's practice!" The strange wolf replied in the affirmative, and it pouted again, "Or do you think that practice is more suitable for you?" ”

Frowning, Ye Qi didn't say anything more—because he knew that what the strange wolf said was a fact; And in the face of a fact, Ye Qi is not a person who messes around, so naturally there is no way to refute it.

"Well, then, please let me know afterwards, sir!"

Ye Qi deliberately used such a title, for his contract companion, Ye Qi really didn't know what kind of name to use to face it, so he could only use such a more formulaic way; However, the strange wolf did not object to this title, but had a little habit.

It squinted and nodded, "Mmmm, if I can, I think I will definitely do it in the future!" Not...... Those 'good friends' of yours are coming to you again? Tsk, he's a popular guy! ”

Ye Qi would not accept such a completely marginal compliment, especially after the unfamiliar solar-level fluctuations appeared in his [Blind Fighting Perception], it was more cautious or hostile - to achieve such strength, and it did not belong to the Demon Hunter, its origin is naturally conceivable.

The bridge on the other side?

What a hassle!

Ye Qi silently recited this term, his brows furrowed again, and then he beckoned the Shadow Knight and the Shadow Servant to all merge into his shadow - Shadow Guard, Ye Qi remembered the name of the Shadow Knight from the mouth of the assassin from the bridge on the other side; Although I don't know where the name "Lu Dao" comes from, it is certain that there is also a presence in the bridge on the other side that can summon and use shadow knights; And judging by the performance of the assassin at the time. That being has quite a reputation. Otherwise, it won't scare the other party.

"Hello. Is it Lord Ye Qi? ”

Unlike the assassin's secrecy last time, this time the visitor was very direct and unusually polite, standing in front of the cave, as if knocking on the door, he gently patted the wall of the cave under his subordinates, and then he asked, the voice as if he was visiting a friend's house in the afternoon and drinking afternoon tea.

"You are?"

Ye Qi nodded. Asked.

"I'm Parde from Springwater City, and it's an honor to meet you, Lord Ye Qi!"

The man, who called himself Parde, straightened up slightly, and then bowed like a standard aristocratic ceremony, the kind of ninety degrees of right angle, which could be measured with a rectangular ruler; The bow was held for about two seconds, and within a time frame that was neither hasty nor flattering, Parde straightened up.

"Don't worry. I had just met with the Hart brothers near Dude, and they could prove that I had no ill will – in fact. In some ways, we are on one front; I'm half a student of Master Hottlie......" Parde immediately made a point as he straightened up.

Ye Qi was noncommittal about the other party's statement that he had met with the Hart brothers, but Ye Qi would not believe the so-called battle line that the other party said - the Hart brothers were near Dude, it was not a secret, it was not any evidence of friendship, and he was now undoubtedly regarded as the heir of Hotlier, or the successor of an item, and that item was urgently needed even by the 'own people' of Spring City.

So, with the exception of Hotlier himself, who was able to say something like a front, no one else could be trusted.

As for such speculation?

Aside from such speculation, Ye Qi has nothing better; After all, interests are always entangled; Anyway, in a place like the bridge on the other side, it shouldn't be a woman's fault.

"Although I haven't been studying with Lord Hortrier for a long time, ......," said Parde, who ripped off his gloves and stretched out his palm, which seemed to have a metallic luster, exuding a sharp aura—the "Light Blade" that had not been modified by Hotlier would be like this when cultivating to a small achievement; He looked at his palm, and said with memories in his tone: "Because of my talent and hobby, I didn't study the "Light Blade" in its entirety, but only a very basic part, and it is the part that Master Hortlier has not modified......"

At this, Parde smiled wryly; However, even with a wry smile, this Palder maintained his demeanor, coupled with his previous behavior, Ye Qi began to look at the other party seriously - the brown wavy hair was draped over the shoulders, the handsome face was full of masculinity and integrity, although the clothes on the body seemed simple, but Ye Qi could see that they were all purely handmade products, whether it was a coat, a shirt or pants, or even the leather boots on his feet, they were all carefully crafted, and they were all from one person's handwriting.

After all, the silver buttons and trouser legs, as well as the pattern at the base of the shoe, are the same as the mark of a craftsman; Of course, more importantly, these decorations add up to give people a sense of integration, both in terms of appearance and fluctuation - it should be some ancient nobleman from the Autumn Forest District, and he has a rich family, otherwise he would not have these very good magic items.

This is Ye Qi's final evaluation.

And it's very close to the truth.

"I come from an old family, but I broke off all ties with my family thirty years ago, and I abandoned my surname, and I'm just Parde, a ...... Wanderer! When it came to positioning himself, Palder paused before finding a suitable word; And the previous explanation did not make him ashamed, on the contrary, he had a proud expression.

Ye Qi could see that, unlike the kind of young man who went against his parents' wishes during the rebellious period, this Palde was really proud of himself; As for the source of the other party's pride? Ye Qi didn't want to know Lu Dao, he had questions that he was more willing to ask.

"What are you looking for me for?"

Ye Qi asked.

"I want you to come back with me to the bridge on the other side and see Lord Hotlier at the back!"

Palde said very sincerely.

"No, there is still half a year to ......"

Ye Qi looked at the person in front of him in surprise—in the previous chat with the Hart brothers, he remembered that the other party seemed to be injured to death. But there is still a little bit of time.

"The injury came and went again. There are less than two months left at most! ”

Palde's tone was filled with sadness. And a hint of anger.

Repeatedly?

Ye Qi looked at each other playfully, he couldn't tell whether the sadness was true or not, but there was an abnormal fluctuation caused by anger, and he could clearly perceive that the assassin from Spring City before uniting it, a not very good, but very real situation appeared in Ye Qi's mind - obviously someone hoped that Hotlier would die quickly and stop staying in the way of this world. Moreover, it includes characters from his own side.

"Well, it's ...... repeatedly"

Under Ye Qi's playful gaze, Parde said with great difficulty; However, the unnatural look on his face had already betrayed his truest thoughts, and then, under Ye Qi's further pressure, he had to stop his words that he couldn't convince.

"As you can see, I am engaged in a war; Although I hate to say so, but if I leave. Our odds of winning are reduced by more than 10% – not to mention that I don't really like to talk to someone who always hides himself with lies; If nothing else, I think our conversation can be over! ”

Ye Qi raised his arm. Pointing his finger outside, he looked like he was going to leave.

"No, no, you can't ...... like that"

Facing Yeschpard, who refused without hesitation, shook his head again and again, he did not leave, but immediately said: "You know, if you go to the bridge on the other side and meet Lord Höttellier, you will have the opportunity to inherit everything that Lord Hötlill has—wealth, status, and martial arts...... It's all about it! ”

"If I don't go, who will inherit all this?"

Ye Qi asked the question he was interested in.

"All the representatives of Springwater City will divide the items equally, and if the items cannot be divided equally, the final ownership of the items will be obtained through bidding; Again, the bidding funds are divided equally among the representatives except the owner of the item...... Although Lord Hotlier is not a person known for his wealth, he is a very qualified explorer and collector, aside from those magic crystals, those items collected by Lord Hotlier are truly valuable, that is enough to buy an independent plane, and of course, Lord Hotlier's martial arts! ”

After explaining to Ye Qi again, Pard continued to impress Ye Qi with benefits; And such a detailed explanation was enough to make Ye Qi understand why he was attacked by Spring City in the first place—it was obvious that when the 'Extreme Blade-Hotley' was dying, he, the 'reasonable heir', was the existence of blocking the financial path of some people.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, this kind of truth, Ye Qi has deeply experienced it as early as that summer job in the original world; In Lorante, he experienced it more directly - in the dark world where there is no real legal constraint, apart from those who stick to their bottom line and principles, all existence believes that victory is justice, fist is truth, right and wrong are confused in such a moment, and the rest is actually the high ground of force and the strength of strength.

Even, for a moment, Ye Qi also very much agreed with such a statement; If it weren't for his teacher and the profiteer, as well as his friends around him, who told him why he had to stick to his bottom line, Ye Qi didn't think he could get out of it, on the contrary, he had a 100% chance of becoming such a beast that acted on instinct.

Without a bottom line, you can grovel to any strong person, you can bully and insult any weak person, enjoy the pleasure, and then get through the emptiness, and then fill more emptiness with greater pleasure, and so on, and the final result is just to become a beast - hiding from enemies, hunting, resting, and reproducing, which is not a beast and what it is.

Of course, there is also the possibility of becoming some perverted serial murderer - this is not uncommon in the dark world, and some guys always like to slaughter and torture some weak people to get satisfaction.

And whether it is the former or the latter, Ye Qi doesn't want to become, and he doesn't have the ability to get through all this and become a real strong person like those who have strong beliefs and can rely on their hearts to be strong; Therefore, he had to make a 'shackle' for the sake of his soul being strong - the bottom line of being a man; Whether it's the goodness of the bottom line. Or the bad and evil in the bottom line. It's all in a position that he can afford and recognize. Once exceeded, he refuses.

Although this method seems cumbersome and very stupid, it is very suitable for Ye Qi - and suitable, isn't it the best?

At this time, Ye Qi kept his bottom line - not to give up his responsibilities because of interests.

"It's really a very tempting wealth......

Such an exclamation made Palde's face slightly happy. He thought he had moved Ye Qi by saying it; In fact, before he came, Pard did not think that with that kind of wealth, he would have the possibility of failure; Although it would have made him a little uncomfortable, for the sake of Hotlier, Parde thought it was worth it; After all, it was the one who saved his life.

"However, I still have my responsibilities...... So, sorry, Mr. Palder! ”

With Ye Qi's words. The smile that was about to appear on Pard's face stiffened violently. He looked at Ye Qi in a daze, as if he had seen a fool, and it was the kind of fool who was extremely stupid, incorrigibly stupid.

"Your Excellency Ye Qi, do you know that you won't have anything to gain by doing this?"

Palder reiterated.

"What is this?"

Ye Qi didn't answer the other party's question, but patted the apostle trench coat on his body and asked rhetorically.

"The Apostle Trench Coat in The Witcher!"

Although Parde has been on the bridge on the other side all the year round, he still knows very well about the things on Lorante, especially some things that everyone knows; As he says, he is a wanderer; The biggest characteristic of wanderers is undoubtedly that they do not have a fixed place to live and stay; It moves around for a variety of reasons, or simply with the mood.

As soon as the words came out, Parde didn't speak again, and it was clear that as a fairly smart man, he had understood what Ye Qi meant.

"This war is a war between witchers and dark creatures!" Seeing that the other party understood what he meant, Ye Qi couldn't help but smile and said, and at the same time he asked with curiosity, "What are you here for?" ”

"Lord Hötley, who saved my life in the first place!"

Parde replied.

The Hart brothers before were for a little benefit, and the assassin was undoubtedly also for benefit, but the Palder in front of him was to repay the favor?

Such a statement made Ye Qi couldn't help but glance at the other party more.

"I know that you won't believe me when I say that—but I don't need anyone else's belief; Just do it! Pard shrugged his shoulders and smiled naturally at Ye Qi's surprised gaze, it was clear that it wasn't the first time he had been looked at like this, and it had been enough that he didn't care.

"I think it's time for me to take my leave, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Ye Qi - although I haven't finished my business, I think you're someone you can be friends with, and I'm looking forward to seeing you next time!"

Parde walked out of the cave, stood in the doorway and said goodbye to Ye Qi, and then, under Ye Qi's gaze, quickly left; Just as it came from; It wasn't until the other party's aura completely disappeared that Ye Qi closed the cave again and began to prepare for another cultivation.

"I thought you'd smile!"

The strange wolf popped up again.

"For what?"

Ye Qi asked.

"After all, it's rare to meet someone like that!"

The strange wolf said.

"If I had laughed at someone like this, my face would have twitched; After all, there are thousands of them around me right now! ”

Ye Qi said slowly, but he didn't even notice it, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

Inconsistent heart, awkward guy!

After saying such an evaluation in his heart, the strange wolf drilled back into the sealed land again, leaving Ye Qi to quickly enter the state of cultivation.

……

Although Pard seemed to leave very simply, his real mood was very complicated, and he never thought that he would meet someone like Ye Qi.

However, only such a person can obtain everything that Lord Hotlier has.

Inexplicably, such an idea appeared in his heart, and then, he nodded quickly, and approved such an idea.

"Maybe, I should try again......"

Involuntarily, Parde said.

"Don't try, you don't have a chance!"

With a laugh, several figures appeared in front of Parde, rich negative energy, instantly enveloped the surroundings, under the black cloak inside, pieces of black cloth, completely covering the face, only the eyes that could move were exposed, proving that these people full of negative energy were living people, not undead creatures in coats.

"Coffin of the Underworld!!"

With a sigh of surprise, Pard stepped back sharply - he didn't have the confidence to face this group of guys who were known for killing and bloody.

However, it is clear that the people of the Coffin of the Underworld have been prepared for a long time.

In the direction of Palder's retreat, several people in the same dress reappeared, and Palder did not give up and changed several directions in a row, the same is the case; And, more importantly, after three temptations, he was completely surrounded.

Looking at the wanderers in the encirclement, all the people in the coffin of the underworld sneered at the same time.

They really like prey, don't they?
