Chapter 44: The Ruins. Control the center on

"Leaf!"

"Your Excellency Ye Qi!"

"Stinky little ghost!"

Three different titles, the same surprised eyes looked at Ye Qi who walked in, even in Felibe's deliberately disdainful gaze, that kind of surprise could not be concealed - obviously, Ye Qi appeared in front of them at this moment, completely beyond their expectations; Although they had already received a message from the Lord of the Relic Tower, according to their estimates, it would take about a day for Ye Qi to arrive here if he arrived.

Didn't expect it to be so fast!

Sure enough, it is worthy of a sun-level powerhouse!

Could it be that things have come to this point?

Different thoughts rose from the hearts of the three witchers, Felibe and Blaise were just simply admiring, but Jacob, as the captain, thought even more far-reaching—as the direct 'interlocutor' of the Lord of the Tower of the Holy Relics, he had a very detailed understanding of the comeback of the Holy See, and it was with this detailed understanding that he was even more surprised by the speed at which Ye Qi appeared at the moment.

Because it means that the danger that is about to emerge is several times more dangerous than he imagined.

"Uncle Jacob!"

After nodding at Feribey and Brace, Ye Qi looked at Jacob and said slowly—it was not difficult for Ye Qi to call Jacob the way the female cavalry commander did; After all, the adoptive father-daughter relationship between the other party and the female cavalry commander is something that everyone knows; As for the 'adoptive father' of the female cavalry chief, Ye Qi naturally understands what kind of attitude is the most appropriate, which will not be rude, nor will it embarrass the female cavalry chief.

"Jacob, Blaise, Felibe, you're all right, are you?"

Tate, who was following Ye Qi, shouted and ran out from behind Ye Qi. And then. After seeing three friends trapped in a cage. He was ready to go up and destroy the cage.

"Wait!"

Ye Qi immediately shouted to stop him; Tate then stopped and looked at Ye Qi suspiciously—along the way, Ye Qi's strength in the face of the puppets, and then in the face of various traps, had completely convinced Tate; At this time, Ye Qi spoke again, almost instinctively, and stopped the originally unruly demon hunter

"This should be a special magic device!" Ye Qi looked up at the three birdcage-like cage-like cages hanging from the ceiling, and after carefully observing them for a moment, he said, "Any destruction." will trigger the traps within, causing fatal damage to the people in the cage. ”

The special fluctuations in the blind fighting perception, coupled with the mystical knowledge of the mastery level, were enough for Ye Qi to recognize the special features of these three cage-like cages.

"It's worthy of Your Excellency Ye Qi!"

Blaise immediately admired Yedge's words, and Felibe, who was on the side, pursed his lips, but in the end he did not choose to raise the bar with his friend here - in the face of facts, any quibbling is powerless; At least the other party didn't have any experiments, but after observing for a while, he could see the special features of these three birdcage-like cages, which he couldn't do; In this regard, Felibe had to admire.

"What then?"

Brace's words. Undoubtedly, it confirmed Yety's claim, and immediately made Tate a little dumbfounded - he looked up at the steel ring where the cage was hanging. Obviously, he wanted the three friends to be down-to-earth.

"If you don't want to hurt everyone, it's better not to touch those steel rings!" When Tate looked up, Ye Qi saw the other party's thoughts - the most violent fluctuations in the blind bucket perception were the keyholes and ring-like steel rings; Of course, Ye Qi couldn't let Tate touch these two places, so he immediately persuaded: "The mechanism of this magic cage is integral, and any bit of destruction is enough to cause a chain reaction in its entirety!" ”

"So what are we going to do?"

Tate looked at Ye Qi again - obviously, a period of time together, although not long, but when faced with difficult problems, this witcher has become accustomed to Ye Qi in charge; After all, Ye Qi has never made a mistake from the beginning until now; Such a situation is enough to convince anyone.

"We have to find the key, remember the fork in the road we had when we were at the back of the corner? I think there will be something we want there! Ye Qi turned his head to look at the three people in the cage: "Everyone, please wait a moment!" ”

"I'll stay with them!"

Tate's approach to Ye Qi's mind would naturally not be objected to, Ye Qi nodded immediately, and then walked straight to the passage where he came.

"See, this is the style of the Shak Dragon, clean and neat! Not like someone dragging mud and water! ”

Moments after Ye Qi left, Brace immediately squinted at Felibe.

"When did I get muddy and water?"

Realizing that this was the beginning of another 'topic', Felibe immediately came to his senses and responded loudly in order to win a game.

"Is it really not interesting to talk like this? Talking about each other in front of me is really ...... Well, a little awkward; That's right, it's awkward! Tate, who was on the ground with his head tilted, heard the two bickering; Immediately understood that the two were about to start another 'fight', and stopped it right away.

"Can the stinky imp hear me?"

"Can Your Excellency Ye Qi hear me?"

Feribey and Brace looked at Tate in surprise; The latter shrugged helplessly, and pointed to the passage behind him: "Such an empty corridor without any cover, even if it is a hundred yards away, can be heard clearly!" ”

The two men, who were brought into this room in a complete coma, and had no idea of the situation under the corridor and outside, were stunned when they heard Tate's words, and then immediately fell into silence - it can be seen that both of them have a hint of embarrassment; In particular, Felibe, who has always been an opponent, blushed even more; However, he reacted immediately, and muttered to himself again to express his 'innocence'.

"W-That stinks...... Oh no, Lord Ye Qi won't mind! Not only did he change his name, but he also looked at Brace and pouted, "Is it not?" Brace? ”

"Yes, yes. Your Excellency Ye Qi will not mind! ”

Brace nodded his head repeatedly; And Tate, who was facing the two, covered his face embarrassedly for the two - Jacob, who saw all this in his eyes, smiled silently. Then, the whole person moved a little and changed to a more comfortable position to lean inside the cage.

Now that Ye Qi has appeared, then leave the rest to the other party!

Jacob was very confident that Ye Qi could handle everything now, just as the other party had done in the past - as for the conversation being heard? Jacob didn't care about that at all; Whether it's as Els's adoptive father or as an ordinary witcher. Jacob had a clear conscience.

……

Ye Qi re-entered the corridor and walked on the rocky ground, the soles of his shoes making a sound of 'stepping, stepping, stepping' when they touched the ground—

Jacob actually gave up the right to develop the ruins!

This news made Ye Qi very surprised in his heart, especially when he gave up for his safety, which made Ye Qi feel a strange warmth from the bottom of his heart when he was surprised; It's like waking up on a deck chair in a park with an extra piece of clothing on you every time you wake up — as Tate said, in such an unsheltered corridor, the sound can be heard far, far away. Even farther than Tate had estimated, plus Ye Qi's superhuman perception; Therefore. Ye Qi listened to the conversation in the cell almost completely.

For some of them, Ye Qi will only laugh and not care at all, such as Felibe's 'disdain' for him, while others will be remembered, such as the ruins of the amulet that became his talisman at some point - for the former, it is not Ye Qi's generosity, but he knows that Felibe is innocent and not malicious; For a person who likes to be lively, and constantly looks for secrets, and takes fun as all the existence of life, it is hard to imagine that there will be malice in his heart.

As for the latter?

Ye Qi already has his own idea -

A ruin......

Ye Qi, who was muttering silently, suddenly smiled slightly-not just a simple twitch of the face, but a real smile from the heart; Then, the pace was a little faster again; If it was still the tower master of the Tower of Wisdom that was entangled with his teacher, Ye Qi was not sure yet, but since the current ruler of the Demon Hunter Headquarters was Hessel, then some things could naturally change.

For example: returning the right to develop a heritage that belongs to someone else or compensating someone in some other way!

Of course, Ye Qi is more inclined to the latter; After all, the resurgence of the Holy See is enough to make the former completely cease to exist; Ye Qi didn't doubt this—no one knew better than him, as a Solar level powerhouse, how destructive a Solar level powerhouse was, let alone a few Solar level powerhouses.

Even a large city like Dude can cease to exist in just half a day under the destruction of a few solar powers—and this is why the supreme government treats any solar powerhouse with courtesy; After all, the top of the supreme government didn't want an attack by a Solar powerhouse in any area under their jurisdiction; Because, the impact of that would be incalculable, whether it was purely public opinion, or the loss of property at a higher level, even if the Solar class who caused the damage was killed afterwards, it would be useless.

This is it!

Ye Qi, who had returned to the bend again, looked at the extra fork in the tunnel with a structure that was almost indistinguishable from the rock wall corridor he was in, and immediately stopped—when he had passed by here with Tate before, he sensed the fluctuations of the magical aura type that appeared in front of him again; But on the other hand, Jacob's familiar fluctuations forced him to change the direction of his progress; It's just that what Ye Qi didn't expect was that after going around in a circle, he actually returned to this fork in the road.

Massive labs!

After dodging several magic traps again, Ye Qi had to sigh - compared to the special staircase in the shape of 'mouth' that kept coming down, he could better appreciate the enormity of the dark wizard's laboratory when he was moving forward in a straight line at this moment, and Ye Qi could only see the end of the distance of nearly three hundred yards.

A hallway that was the same as when he had come appeared appeared in front of him - and at the sight of the sloped slope, the corner, and the fork in the corner, Ye Qi was immediately sure that it was the same building as the one he had been in; Even, moving on, a cell similar to the previous one was just like Ye Qi's guess. appeared in front of him.

This is?!

Back around the corner. Look at the new fork in the road. Ye Qi frowned, hesitated slightly, and then stepped into it again—and for the next hour, Ye Qi experienced the same three places, almost exactly the same place as before; Whether it is the slope with slope, the corner, the layout of the road at the corner, or the construction method, especially the length of the road. Almost as soon as he walked to the fifth identical place, and sensed the fluctuations of Jacob and the others again, an equilateral pentagonal shape immediately appeared in Ye Qi's mind.

And looking at the fork in the road that existed in this last place that was different from the others and was obviously leading to the midpoint of the pentagon, Ye Qi's frown stretched slightly-although he didn't know where the real laboratory of Lu Dao was, at least there was a new change, which was good news.

After experiencing this strange building and several identical connections, Ye Qi already understood very well that the whole building was undoubtedly a wizard's test laboratory, but the points connected by the five sides were not the most important part of the test laboratory. Instead, it serves as a supporting effect - in the previous exploration, some animal bones, plant residues, and magic crystals that have long lost their magic power have appeared in the same locations as Jacob and the others were imprisoned in five places. and several beds......

This kind of existence immediately reminded Ye Qi of the storage of experimental materials, animal breeding, plant cultivation, and apprentice dormitories and cages, some of the arrangements about the laboratory that the young witch Merlin had mentioned to him - obviously, although these five places were in the laboratory, they were not the most important places in the laboratory!

Could it be here?

Ye Qi looked at the fork in the road in front of him, and with this thought, Ye Qi stopped, carefully observing the differences here - obviously this is the middle of the 'isopentagonal' building, and after leaving aside the previous places such as the storage of experimental materials, animal breeding, plant cultivation, and apprentice dormitories and cages, all that can appear is the core of the laboratory.

However, sensing the magic fluctuations in front of him that were weaker than those in several other places, Ye Qi was a little skeptical - as a wizard's laboratory, there was no reason why the core position would be weaker than the subordinate places.

Could something have happened?

Ye Qi withdrew his gaze and took another step - from the outside, there was no difference between this and the other forks in the road, except that the magic fluctuations were weaker than the others; And blind bucket perception is obviously not able to provide more information, undoubtedly, staying here is undoubtedly a waste of time.

Whether it was Jacob and the others waiting, or his own curiosity, it was impossible for Ye Qi to wait any longer; What's more, a dark wizard's laboratory from a thousand years ago had no reason for Ye Qi to retreat.

As he strode forward, as he got closer and closer, Ye Qi, who kept looking, finally noticed the difference in the center of this laboratory - the materials made were completely different from the other five 'points', although they all looked like rocks, but the color was obviously brighter, showing a whitish state!

If it's in the sun, it's estimated to be brighter!

With such a thought, Ye Qi stretched out his finger and touched the stone wall lightly, sensing the extra hardness, and subconsciously using a little strength, he couldn't help but be stunned-

What a sturdy stone!

Although Ye Qi didn't use all his strength before, according to his previous strength, even the rocks should show signs of cracking or falling off, but the rock wall corridor in front of him did not change at all.

Maybe......

Involuntarily, a sudden thought appeared in Ye Qi's mind, and then, he pressed hard towards the rock wall corridor again, until he used about eighty percent of his strength, only to find that the surface of the rock wall corridor had fallen off a little - as if it was falling off the skin of the wall, not the kind of falling off after cracking or shattering.

This gave Ye Qi half a chance to affirm his thoughts, after all, beyond that, he couldn't imagine what kind of stone could withstand his strength - according to his previous strength, Ye Qi knew very well that even a complete rock should be crushed; Not to mention the rock-like corridors.

The guess in his heart made Ye Qi can't help but speed up his pace, and hurry towards the exit in front of him - unlike other unguarded states when leading to the room, there is a gate blocking there at this exit; The ten-foot-tall brown wooden gate was divided into two four-foot-wide doors, one on the left and one on the right.

After making sure that there was no problem in the blind bucket perception, and after carefully checking it again, and confirming that there was no problem, Ye Qi's left hand gently pressed on the door on the left side, and then pushed hard-

Squeak!

The door shaft lacks grease maintenance, and it makes a characteristic friction sound, which is slightly harsh; But Ye Qi didn't notice this at all, his eyes were already attracted by the scene in front of him, and at the same time, the guess in his heart was completely confirmed.

Sure enough, it's the Magic Tower!
