Chapter Ninety-Six: Talking
The unexplored area of the Thousand Pond District was naturally quite attractive to Ye Qi, after all, according to the information he had obtained, there were quite a number of complete ruins there; If it weren't for the fact that the danger there had reached an unpreventable level, Ye Qi would have already gone there - in the face of the sudden danger, Ye Qi was sure to solve it, but when he used the [Nameless Technique] to absorb and transform the power of faith, he was basically in an unguarded state, although he had a strange wolf as the last line of defense, but for the cautious Ye Qi, such a state was enough to make him hesitate to explore the unexplored areas of the Thousand Swamp District.
Originally, Ye Qi's plan was to find a proper way to deal with his powerlessness when he used the [Nameless Technique] to absorb and transform the power of faith after completing the trip to Dude and then 'bringing back' the Wizard Emperor's Wizard Tower; And in this state of powerlessness, it is naturally best to find one or two reliable helpers - although it is only a brief contact, Ye Qi can still rest assured about Master Stendon; Everything that the other party shows is what the elder should be.
Therefore, if you explore with the other party, Ye Qi will not refuse; Of course, the necessary countermeasures still need to be searched - after all, despite the presence of Master Stendon there, Ye Qi did not dare to guarantee that the master wizard would be able to deal with all the crises; His friend Ted's words, 'Even if you are a Solar powerhouse, you need luck there!' Ye Qi took it to heart.
And, there's a question of timing; If Master Standon had set off immediately, even if Ye Qi wanted to go again. It can only be a pity to miss this opportunity - whether it is the previous commitment to the allies. Or is it wary of the secret opportunities of the various dark mercenary organizations in Dude this time. Ye Qi had to make such a choice; The chameleon mentioned at the time that the Holy See was involved, and Ye Qi would not forget it.
With the participation of the Holy See, Ye Qi really can't think of anything good happening, if it is possible to subvert the regime of the Supreme Government, these magic sticks can also do it, especially when the new Speaker of the Supreme Government is about to be elected, all this Ye Qi can't believe that it will be a beautiful coincidence.
"I'm a week later. Will be heading to Dude! ”
Ye Qi said very directly.
"Is it because of a secret gathering of the Dark Mercenary Organization?"
As soon as the old wizard and the old man Fletcher heard Ye Qi's words, they knew what Ye Qi was for; Especially the latter, he said in a loud voice: "Are you going to take a look at your little lover first, and then find revenge for your little lover?" Come on, old man, I'm very supportive of you! Kick the butts of those restless guys who cut off the thoughts of slaughter! ”
"Me and Bernadette. Taylor had nothing and ......"
Before Ye Qi's explanation was finished, Old Man Fletcher slapped Ye Qi's shoulder hard, and showed a disrespectful smile for the old man, and said, "Don't worry." Old man, I'm also from here, I know, I know! ”
What do you know?
Ye Qi glanced at Old Man Fletcher with a slanderous look. Then, he looked at the old wizard.
"The time it will take us to go to the unexplored areas of the Sennuma District will be two months at the earliest, and we will only start after all the boys and girls are able to 'become independent' in Lorante!" The old wizard smiled and said an approximate time: "As for the specific departure time, it will be the day after the harvest festival; After the harvest festival, it is a real day to travel! ”
Harvest Festival: This is a festival that celebrates the harvest and also heralds the arrival of autumn. People who work the land celebrate this year's harvest and pray for a good harvest every year. After the festival, it is the best time to travel. Merchants, messengers, pilgrims, and others who were to travel would set out the next day—before the mud blocked the roads and the rain turned to icy snow; Although the level of roads has improved considerably after entering the free era, the ice and snow weather has not changed, except for the spring forest area and the summer forest area and the three forbidden areas, the rest of Lolante will become cold in the six to eight weeks after the harvest festival, such as the winter forest area, which will directly enter the rhythm of heavy snow in the weeks before the harvest festival.
Therefore, people with travel plans will complete them within six to eight weeks after the harvest festival; Otherwise, when the cold hits, even the most perfect travel plan will become cold and biting.
And the old wizard chose this date apparently in accordance with tradition - in the wizard's tradition, when the morning star in the sky begins to rise above the moon, it is the best time to leave.
"Is it the second day of the harvest festival? Nice day! ”
Ye Qi nodded—although he didn't have the so-called tradition of wizards, it was obviously enough time for him to deal with the matter in front of him, so as not to miss such a good opportunity to explore the unexplored areas of the Thousand Swamp District.
"Of course it's a good day, and if I can, I'd like to go with you! It's a pity ......" The old man Fletcher looked very helpless, but Ye Qi, who knew what the old man wanted to say, picked up the fruit tea in front of him with a smile, without any idea of talking.
However, for the old man Fletcher, such a 'no one cares' situation can not make him feel embarrassed, but after a slight smile, the old man Fletcher continued: "Gefa has gone back today, for my uncle and grandfather, this kid now treats me as an enemy, and Linda is the same; And the two of them are the best heirs of our Norsd generation! So ......"
"I am not a qualified teacher, but I know that any learning starts with interest; If you have an interest, you will like it, and once you like it, you will make an amazing progress! Without waiting for Old Man Fletcher to finish speaking, Ye Qi took the lead and said: "I will not order my student, let alone force him to do something he doesn't like!" ”
"It's not an order or a compulsion, it's a teaching! A step-by-step teaching! ”
Old Man Fletcher nodded first. And then. Immediately reiterated - period. The old man's face was as usual, the corners of his mouth turned up with a smile, obviously without any embarrassment because he was rejected by Ye Qi; On the contrary, it also began to 'mislead' Ye Qi's words.
"I can't do this kind of teaching; After all, as I said a long time ago, I'm not a qualified teacher! ”
Ye Qi said with the same smile - he had expected the reaction that Old Man Fletcher might make, therefore. I also laid out a back road for myself before.
"Well, can you bear to watch the fall of the Northed family?"
Old man Fletcher, who sighed softly, actually had a trace of sadness on his face at this moment.
"With your old body, if there are no accidents, it won't be a problem to live another fifty or sixty years, right? In such a time, the Norsd family will definitely emerge with a better heir, and Regus and Remos are also on the verge of breaking through, right? Once given the opportunity, the Norsd family will return to its former glory without any problems! ”
For the sadness on Old Man Fletcher's face. Ye Qi couldn't tell whether it was true or false, but for the other party's words. Ye Qi will not fully believe that the Solar level powerhouse has reached a limit of human beings, and this limit includes lifespan, especially those who have found their own path, and their lifespan is enough to make ordinary people look up, just like the tower master of the Tower of the Moonlit Night, who was already active in Lorante at the beginning of the free era, and is still in good health.
In addition to his own ability, the change from the Moonlight level to the Solar level is naturally indispensable; And the old man Fletcher in front of him is naturally much smaller than the tower master of the moonlit night according to his real age, but his strength is a real position between the high stage and the peak of the solar level, with such strength, as long as he is not seriously injured, it will not be a problem to live for a few more decades, and if there is a small breakthrough in strength, then the span of this time will undoubtedly be strengthened again.
Therefore, Ye Qi will not worry about the decline of the so-called Nosd family at all - a family will rise because of an excellent heir, but it will definitely not decline because of the loss of an excellent heir; For, in each family, there are too many heirs to be used as reserves; Maybe they are not good enough to lead their family to a new level, but as the defenders of the city, they are definitely enough.
Just like the Nosods at this time, Gael. Nosd is definitely an excellent patriarch, even if he is blinded, he has allowed the Nosd family to achieve breakthroughs in some aspects that the previous family could not think of; And in Gael. After Nosd became a thing of the past, Regus and Remos are undoubtedly the ones who defend the city, and they belong to the reserve existence - although from the current point of view, the Nosd family is headed by the old man Fletcher in front of him, but most of the time, the two brothers Regus and Remos are in charge of everything.
In particular, Regus, the current apostolic leader of the Norsd family, is undoubtedly more valued by Old Man Fletcher; After all, the identity of the leader of the Neptune of Remos would be very embarrassing if he acted as the patriarch - although the Norsd family also has a history of the patriarch charging forward, this does not mean that such a history still needs to be put on the table today; This is completely inconsistent with the development of a family, and a clan that is strategizing is more worthy of cultivation in the long run than a patriarch who is charging into battle.
Therefore, Ye Qi is sure that Regus, the current apostolic leader of the Norsd family, is the next patriarch of the Norsd family, and with the other party's prime age, how can the Norsd family have no successor? What's more, with the cunning of Fletcher, an old leaf, how could he not have arranged in advance for the Norsd family in case there was no suitable heir to the future?
You know, the former patriarch Gal . Nosd is still guarding the wizard's path - although his male disciple is very naughty and rebellious, he is still very obedient to his parents' words, not to mention the other party's sister, which is simply a good child who needs to be learned by girls now.
And the reason why the old man Fletcher in front of him gave up Gale for the time being. Nosd had come to him because of some unpleasant experiences on both sides when the old man Fletcher returned to the Nosted family—no doubt a long time ago. After the signing of that agreement between Nosd and the Holy See, it was buried; can make this old man Fletcher angry and break out of the house. Even if it's a momentary expediency. But it is enough to prove what a mess the situation was at that time.
"And. Mr. Fletcher, among the clansmen you brought back this time, is there really no suitable one? Anyone needs to be experienced, and this was the case with the original singing, and the same is true for these young people; Under the same conditions, as long as the training is appropriate, no one will be worse than the other; I'm sure you've always had that ability! ”
Ye Qi ended with such words, not only once again stated his position. also completely blocked the words of the old man Fletcher, if he continued to be entangled in such a thing, Ye Qi could not guarantee that he would get out of the way - with the cunning of Fletcher, the old leaf, if possible, the other party would definitely not mind finding an opportunity to let him act as a coach to train some outstanding young people of the Northside family.
Even, Ye Qi suspected that the other party had such a purpose in the first place; It's just that it is hidden under that high-sounding excuse, and once that high-sounding excuse is broken by him, then this hidden purpose will naturally appear. And put him in the midst of it.
"Are you really not going to help me?"
Old man Fletcher, after being choked all the words. didn't give up immediately, but used his status as an elder to start asking Ye Qi.
"If you can help me get rid of all my troubles, I wouldn't mind helping you!" Ye Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said part of the truth directly: "I am now on a close relationship with the Holy See, and the director of the Inquisition is eager to arrest me and send me to be burned at the stake!" After all, as far as I know, he seems to have only one disciple! ”
"You killed that guy's disciple?"
This time it wasn't just Old Man Fletcher, even the old wizard couldn't help but look surprised.
"Well, an accident!"
Ye Qi spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, as if he was talking about such a trivial matter as forgetting to add sugar in milk tea.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a disciple of the Sword Saint!"
Old man Fletcher and old wizard looked at each other, and sighed at the same time; And at this moment, a footstep was heard clearly in the distance—the other party was obviously intentional, reminding the people who were talking here; Otherwise, with the soft soil here, it is basically impossible to make such a footstep sound.
"Regus, what's the matter?"
Old Man Fletcher asked straight.
"The first part of the Lion Legion's ambush on the departing dark mercenary organization has ended, and most of the dark mercenaries who were used as pathfinder stones were killed, and a small number were captured and fled back!" Regus, who was dressed in a military dress unique to the Norsd family, said straight after seeing the people present.
For the old wizard, Regus naturally knew about his relationship with his uncle, and understood that there was no need to hide such a thing; Although the person sitting next to him was wearing a hood, covering his proper appearance, but after he approached, the fleeting momentum he deliberately released also made him understand the identity of the other party - an ally of their Norsd family: the dragon of Shak.
"Has anyone broken out of the encirclement?"
Old Man Fletcher asked.
"According to the information we have received, there is basically none!"
Regus replied truthfully according to the information he received; This answer made the old man Fletcher laugh immediately, and after the laughter was a little slackened, the old man continued: "That old lion is really so ruthless! is worthy of being the character who shot his son to death back then! ”
"It's not just ruthless, it's still as usual!"
There was a sigh in the old wizard's voice—it was clear that Master Stendon was not the least angry at the Supreme Government's obvious contempt for wizards, but rather a trace of inexplicable concern.
"Do you know the leader of the Lion Legion?"
Ye Qi looked at the old wizard - apart from such an explanation, he really didn't know what else could explain the situation in front of him; Moreover, Ye Qi guessed that the old wizard in front of him had a very deep relationship with the leader of the lion legion; And just as Ye Qi had guessed, after hearing Ye Qi's question, the old wizard nodded straight.
"Like Fletcher, that old lion is one of the few friends of mine still alive!"
"I don't dare to compare with that old lion, I guess we are all dead, and he has to live well!"
Undoubtedly, there was a hint of resentment and ridicule in Old Man Fletcher's words.
"As a soldier, he naturally has the duties of a soldier, and he couldn't help you at the beginning, but it was also because of his duty!"
The old wizard smiled bitterly and persuaded his friend; However, Old Man Fletcher snorted angrily and did not answer; Instead, he gloated: "But this time, I'm going to see what this old lion will do?" Is it still obeying the duties of his own soldier and carrying the blame for others? Or just get up, shake your majesty again, and let those guys cry wolf! ”
"Old man Fletcher, you are not optimistic about the captain of the Lion Legion?"
Under the old wizard's slightly pleading gaze, Ye Qi asked.
"Of course, not optimistic!"
Old Man Fletcher replied with great certainty, and then continued: "Everyone can see that this encirclement and suppression of the dark mercenaries is completely a mud pit, and whoever enters it will have to sink to the bottom, and they will not be able to climb up!" The legion stationed in the Xia Lin District, but there are three of them, all of them are elite! But who's coming again? Isn't it that stubborn old lion, who really thinks of himself as a savior? ”
"You must know that the fastest person to die is the savior!"
