Chapter 45: The Treasure in Progress I.
When the tent next to the tree house was erected, three bonfires also appeared there, and the food brought by Wald and his party were placed on the bonfire, and with the collision of grease and flame, the sound of snorting and snorting rang out one after another, and at the same time the aroma of roasted meat appeared.
When Wald picked up a hind leg that was supposed to belong to an elk and was about to walk towards Yeqi, he was stopped by Lister, and the man with glasses whispered: "It's better for me to come, I think we should collect more information about the other party; After all, apart from the name, we don't know anything about each other! ”
Wald didn't have any suspicions, and directly handed the roasted elk's hind legs to his friend, and said with a smile: "This is what you are best at, I'll leave it to you!" ”
The man with glasses nodded solemnly: "Don't worry!" Then, taking two steps forward, as if remembering something, he said, "Don't forget Grotel's share!" ”
Wald nodded with a smile: "Of course, I will never forget this!" Besides, I'm going to ask that guy what the hell is going on! ”
"Who knows? Maybe it's just laziness again! ”
The man in glasses shrugged his shoulders and walked towards Ye Qi, while Wald, who was behind him, muttered a few words, then picked up another whole elk and walked towards the city gate; Feeling Wald's departure, the man with glasses gestured to his subordinates quietly, and then officially walked towards Ye Qi.
"Your Excellency, please try the food of our bridge on the other side - although it is just a normal barbecue, the elk is raised in a special half-plane, and the meat is very delicious!" came to Ye Qi's face. The man with glasses threw a huge cactus-like leaf directly on the ground. He put the roasted elk back and placed it straight on it. Then he took out a palm-sized bottle from the bag around his waist and placed it next to it.
The man in glasses explained: "This is the wine from the bridge on the other side, a fruit fermented and brewed...... You taste it, it's thirst-quenching! ”
Ye Qi looked at the extremely attentive glasses man in front of him, and said quietly: "I don't drink!" ”
"Really? I don't like alcoholic drinks either! The man with glasses didn't show the embarrassment of being rejected, on the contrary, he said with a look of surprise, "It's great to meet someone who also doesn't drink, and I'm worried about you if you invite me to drink." How do I excuse myself? ”
The man in glasses laughed awkwardly as he spoke.
There is no falsification at all, everything seems to be sincere, even the smile on the face, the look in the eyes, especially the appropriate display of the same shortcomings, which is even more impressive; It can be said that if he hadn't suspected the other party from the beginning, it would have been difficult for Ye Qi to find out the flaws.
However, once you have doubts, some things will naturally become simpler; It's like the man with glasses in front of him. Although there is no falsification, there is an inexplicable deliberateness; It's like a person forcing a smile on their face. Of course, that kind of smile is uncomfortable and concerning.
Although the man with glasses did not reach such a level of concern, in Ye Qi's eyes, everything was undoubtedly revealed.
As for the initial suspicions?
From the beginning of the conversation with the Hart brothers, it appeared, of course, at the time it was not determined who it was, but there was just a suspicion in my heart; After all, according to the Hart brothers' later account at the Manor on the outskirts of Dude, Hotlier was a more cautious person, and later using his layout proved that the other party was not the kind of being with muscles in his head, but rather quite intelligent.
Obviously, being cautious and wise, but falling to the point of being seriously injured and being chased and killed because of a single thing, there is naturally an extraordinary situation; After thinking about it, Ye Qi thought that the biggest possibility was that there was a 'mole' - and a mole who was very familiar with Hotlier and would not suspect it.
Of course, Ye Qi had doubts when the wanderer Pard first appeared, but the message crystal sent by Pard later dispelled such suspicions.
And the appearance of Walder and his party today, although it was somewhat unexpected by Ye Qi, was not without harvest - as the deputy city lord of Spring City, Kirli may have something to do with the coffin of the underworld, and even come from the Holy Realm. Brother De, then some other eye-catching forces will naturally not be let go.
Although the difficulty of the Blood Alliance Tower is a little greater, Ye Qi believes that the other party will have a way.
And a small organization and small group like the one in front of you is naturally even more so, it is almost no different from being caught by hand - the blessing of the strict system of the bridge on the other side makes all changes simpler, whether it is burying a 'mole' or buying a person.
After all, strong strength is the biggest hole card.
Take the small organization in front of him as an example, if Kirli comes forward, Ye Qi is sure that more than fifty percent of the people will not hesitate to devote themselves to the other party's command, while the remaining forty percent of the people will still be under the other party's command after thinking about it, and only the other ten percent of people will continue to insist on their own views.
And among those who insist on their own views, there is still the possibility of thinking about giving up halfway.
Therefore, out of a hundred people, there may not even be five people who can hold on to the bottom; After all, it was just too painful!
Especially after the contrast - the contrast of everything, the good will make you unwilling and discouraged, and the bad will make you proud and complacent.
Sometimes, you just need to stick to your point of view, no matter how the outside world discusses, or even accusations, you just need to go on, step by step.
And Ye Qi did just that, although he was more good at guiding some points of view and putting himself in a more advantageous position, but the ultimate essence would not change.
Of course, Ye Qi was sure that the man with glasses in front of him was the traitor, and he had nothing to do with this quality, but it was very simple - on Cartway and Ceylon, he put something special similar to stalking powder; These are transmitted upon contact, and the highly persistent powder comes from Ava. The raw material is a berry inside a bush. When dried, it emits a smell similar to sweat. Therefore, it is difficult to detect.
And more importantly, if it is combined with its own branches and leaves, it will have a sweet and greasy taste.
And at this moment, under the tip of Ye Qi's nose, he touched some of the freshly squeezed liquid from this branch and leaf, and on the body of the man with glasses opposite, the smell was a sweet and greasy feeling.
Everything is self-evident.
Whether or not Katvey and Ceylas knew the true face of Dodd Killi, there was no doubt that both of them were from Springwater. And at this moment, they are directly under the orders of Killi, of course, more importantly, both of them go back with the most important news.
And as long as Kirli is not an idiot, he will naturally control the two people tightly in his own hands after getting the news he wants, and in this case, he can still contact the two people and bring such a smell, naturally he is Kirli's people.
Of course. It is not excluded that the other side will be able to leave Kirli behind. Direct contact.
This is very likely, even one of the biggest possibilities.
However, it is clear that such a possibility is based on one foundation - strength!
If there is no strength in the transcendent realm, such a thing cannot happen at all, even if it is powerful at the solar level, it is not a legend, this is a fact recognized by everyone, not to mention, the other party is a person who has completely chosen the 'wizard path' and relied on his natural ability to fight.
Such an existence is more in line with such a law.
And the person who is not as strong as Kirli, but has access to the person who is closely guarded by Kirli, and Hotlier is unexpectedly obtained by the outside world to hide the secret, it seems that everything can be explained.
Or, there are other possibilities, but they are not what Ye Qi needs to pay attention to at this moment.
Ye Qi casually picked up the hind legs of the elk, stretched out his hand and tore off a strip of meat, and put it in his mouth - although the identity of the other party was already confirmed, Ye Qi still didn't have any worries; It is impossible for the other party to poison the food, not only because of the success rate, but also because of the concern that he is powerless to resist after being discovered.
The other party is definitely not a 'traitor' who regards death as home, on the contrary, he cherishes his life very much, looking at the appearance of the other party's subordinate doing his hands and feet in everyone's food, Ye Qi can be sure of the other party's thoughts - it is nothing more than to better control the situation before the support arrives; Or...... It's simply in front of Kirli, showing his ability.
And no matter which one it is, it is based on the premise that you want to make your life worry-free.
Of course, Ye Qi carefully observed the other party and confirmed that there was no problem with this barbecue.
"Very good!"
Ye Qi chewed, feeling the juicy and crunchy texture, and nodded without nodding; As the other party said, this kind of meat is extraordinary, and if there is no such material, even in good cooking, it will not be able to do the same degree.
The man with glasses was very happy with such a compliment, and he said again and again: "This meat is specially exchanged for me after completing several tasks in that half-plane, and according to the rank, it is also high; What do you think? Compared to the meat in your hometown, it's obviously better, right? ”
This kind of conversation that seemed to be small talk, but with the nature of interrogation, Ye Qi was not interested; However, in order to be able to smoothly lure that Kierli over, he had to perfunctory the other party: "That's right, our barbecue there is very average, but it's not a problem of cooking skills, but a problem of raw materials!" ”
"Of course, of course, it's natural...... What is the food in your hometown? ”
The man in glasses smiled and nodded, asking without a trace, as if he were a real gourmet; It's a pity that for a real foodie, this kind of performance is a little bland, Ye Qi may not be a foodie, but there is no shortage of foodies among his friends, the kind of eyes that shine when he sees delicious food, and his face is flushed, he has really seen it countless times.
Therefore, at this time, it seems that the other party is even more flawed.
The next conversation was even more boring, Ye Qi was almost acting with the other party; However, Lister didn't know that the excited appearance of the glasses man when he left made Ye Qi subconsciously pout the corners of his mouth - the feeling of victory and martial arts arose, but Ye Qi hoped for the next opponent. It could also make him feel the same way.
……
On the previous dunes. Kirli, Cheddell, Zilyan, and Smoy stood silently waiting. The search team not far away had stopped, not only not far away, but even a little farther away The search had stopped and concentrated here.
A team of about 100 people gathered behind the four people; Among them, Spring City, which is composed of many small organizations, is undoubtedly the largest in number, accounting for about seventy percent of them; And in the remaining thirty percent, St. Dego occupies one and a half percent. The Coffin of the Underworld occupies one percent, while the Blood Alliance Tower is only about half of it.
However, no one can judge the strength of an organization based on its numbers, and while it may seem like a very accurate statistic at the time, it is also the most ridiculous statement at some moments.
After all, soldiers are expensive but not much more expensive.
A hundred well-trained soldiers, defeating a thousand peasants, this is not an inconceivable thing, but a truth.
And at this moment, whether it is standing on the sand dunes, the bridge on the other side of the high-rise is powerful in all directions. Still standing under the sand dunes, the subordinates of the bridge on the other side of the four directions are all waiting quietly.
In fact. About an hour and a half ago, they began such a wait.
Although the scorching sun and scorching heat in the Yellow Sand District are enough to make ordinary people retreat, but in front of the Solar level and the legendary powerhouse, especially the latter, it is still not enough to see, even if it is like this for a day, for the legendary-level powerhouse, there is no problem.
Although the strong people of the solar level will feel uncomfortable, they are also in the realm of patience.
Therefore, when the scorching wind brought up waves of sand to roll towards them, these men of the bridge on the other side stood like javelins one by one, and no one even doubted that if they stood closer, they could keep the scorching wind out.
Call!
Another scorching wind blew, carrying patches of yellow sand in the distance, as if thousands of troops were galloping forward, but one of the black figures was particularly obvious.
Here it comes!
Standing on the sand dunes, Kirli, Cheddell, Zilyan and Smoy lit up, and Chedel took a step forward, and he was not too much for his subordinates; As a result, Kirli, Zilyan, and Smoy stood still, but their attention was on the body of this Underworld Coffin.
There is no difference from the rest of the Coffin of the Underworld, they all wrap their bodies in dark cloaks, and a blood-colored clasp in front of the neck becomes the most shining place - the badge of the Coffin of the Underworld is such a blood-colored clasp, of course, most people think that it is more like an eye.
This subordinate of the Coffin of the Underworld knelt down on one knee in front of Chedel very respectfully, and said, "My lord, the target person is confirmed!" ”
Chedel nodded, then asked again with confirmation, "Are you sure?" ”
This subordinate of the coffin of the underworld said in a serious tone: "It can be confirmed!" ”
With a wave of his hand, the subordinate of the coffin of the underworld immediately disappeared into the sand, ignoring the people around him, obviously accustomed to it, and Chedel walked in front of the three of Kirli and asked, "Can you go?" ”
As he asked, he provoked Kirli with his gaze.
After all, it was Killi who had been overly cautious before, making them wait for nearly five more hours.
As if he couldn't see Chedel's gaze at all, Kirli just shouted, "Go!" ”
"Let's go!"
Following Killi, Zilyan and Smoy shouted loudly.
Chedel glanced angrily at Kirli, and with a wave of his hand, the subordinates of the Coffin of the Underworld followed behind him.
Swifter than the most well-trained army, a team of more than a hundred people disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, and the scorching wind blew, leaving nothing but gusts of yellow sand...... No, there seemed to be something else, a bulge that appeared on the dunes after about half an hour, and then quickly grew larger.
Bang!
With a dull sound, three figures popped out of the sand.
"Bah, bah, bah...... I swore I would never go under the sand again, it was so painful that my ears felt like it was full of sand, and it even 'rustled'! ”
As soon as he landed, the shortest man among them said so, and quickly plucked his ears and signaled to the two friends that what he said was true; However, soon he found nothing, and immediately became serious and said: "Darlan, Ava, let's study the map, according to the description above, we are not far from the treasure!" ”
The big man smiled innocently, and the silent Ava twitched the corners of his mouth and walked over.
