As the sun set in the west, the central castle did not return to quietness as before, but became more and more lively, and the crowds of apprentice apostles and rangers gathered in everything—for the Midsummer Festival, which is only once a year, and especially on the first day of Midsummer, even the most demanding instructors would give these young men a vacation; And when Ye Qi, Ted, and the cold-faced man also appeared in the crowd, many young people began to cheer, especially Rocky, who had fought on the Athletic Tower to 'defend' Ye Qi's reputation and a certain heir of the Devaro family.

"Your Excellency Ye and Ye Qi, you, hello!"

The young apostle, who had always shown great swagger, was at a disadvantage at this time to speak; And seeing that he didn't even know where to put his hands, and he didn't know how to stand on the road; Clearly, the word "helpless" was very appropriate for the young apostle.

"Hello, Roach!"

For this young man who fought with a certain heir of the Devaro family for him, Ye Qi could still clearly remember the other party's appearance and name; And because of the other party's actions, Ye Qi naturally has a good impression of the young man in front of him; Therefore, after a simple greeting, Ye Qi pointed straight at the other party's abdomen and asked, "How is the injury?" ”

"I've healed!"

In the face of his idol, Roach finally calmed down after a brief period of helplessness - for a young man who grew up in a small town and spent his days helping out in restaurants, such a performance was commendable enough; Of course. It has to be said that the Demon Hunter Headquarters has been very successful in cultivating these apprentice apostles; But. After hearing Ye Qi's concern. The young man became a little agitated again, and his words, which had been gradually becoming clear, became blurred again.

"Thank you, thank you, Your Excellency Ye and Ye Qi for your concern!"

"So, let's have a good time today!"

Ye Qi looked at the state of the young man in front of him, and knew that if he stayed in front of the other party, the other party's long-awaited midsummer night would have to be ruined; Ye Qi, who had also been full of expectations for Midsummer Night, naturally understood to do so. What a great sin; Therefore, after waving his hand to say goodbye to the other party, he walked towards Ted and the cold-faced man who were standing not far away waiting for him to set off together.

Rocky, you're so ashamed!

Looking at Ye Qi who was smiling away, the young apostle couldn't help but pat his forehead in annoyance; But the companions of the young man around him didn't care so much, and directly surrounded him, asking him excitedly-not only Roach himself, but also the young people who could become companions with Roach naturally had a common topic; And among them, there are absolutely rumors about the dragon of Shak.

"Sister Randy. You should take the initiative and go to Lord Ye Qi! "Dodo, who has a whole string of honey candy in his hand. Mom savored the sweet taste that made her so hard to let go. While saying: "Carter said that if you like someone, you should take the initiative; Otherwise, you will only go through all kinds of tribulations like Al and Vivien! ”

Syllable!

"It hurts, it hurts!"

A crisp sound was made between her fingertips and forehead, and the young red-haired witch immediately put her hands on her forehead, holding honey candy in her mouth, and looked at her 'sister' with tears in her eyes.

"If you talk nonsense like this next time, won't it be a brain jump, Zhilu Dao?" Randy, who was debunked. De, in her own way, concealed the embarrassment of being exposed—under her reddish face, she tried her best to widen her eyes, learning the appearance of 'Mother Elley', and teaching her 'sister': "Also, if Carter just wanted to tell this, I wouldn't have allowed you to meet him!" ”

"Don't, don't, don't dare anymore! Carter promised to come and see me soon, and as a friend I can't miss an appointment! ”

The young red-haired witch kept begging for mercy - although she was a little confused most of the time, but for her friend's promise, the young red-haired witch who should still be in school had inherited the fine tradition of witches; Of course, if the Lord of the Six Towers or her mother found out, I'm afraid that several people would have another headache; After all, that 'Carter' was too dangerous, both for themselves and for the Dodor, whom they loved.

"Alright! So, let's call Newo and let's head out to the city of Shak! The blonde witch, who was not really angry, took her sister's hand and walked towards the place where many witchers had gathered: "Eight o'clock, but when the parade begins, we must hurry up!" ”

"It's a good idea, Sister Randy!"

The young red-haired witch happily followed her sister and headed towards the group.

When groups of young people left the Central Castle and set off towards the city of Shak, the noisy Central Castle immediately fell silent, except for the Rangers and Tower Guards who stayed behind, only the people who were too young to enjoy the noise to celebrate the annual Midsummer Night in their own way - mint tea, muffins with a little cream and some small pastries, as well as the barbecue and ale that were essential for the party, were placed in the hall of the Central Castle, and some elderly witchers, This is where the Rangers or Tower Protectors begin their youthful celebrations at Midsummer's Day.

It's not loud, but it's definitely a lively conversation, and there is a clear laugh from time to time - old people always love to remember, and these retired witchers, rangers, and tower guards are no exception; And after some old things were excavated, it was even more laughter, and it couldn't help but be louder.

However, in the midst of this laughter, a dark shadow fell like a tanuki in the shadows outside the hall of the central castle; Listening to the bursts of laughter, the black shadow clung to the wall, moving out step by step, not only lightly, but also very fast, not even the patrolling rangers noticed.

Almost. A few breaths. The dark shadow stepped out of the defensive circle of the Central Castle. Glancing back at the seemingly well-guarded central castle behind him, the black shadow couldn't help but smile disdainfully-

Sure enough, on a midsummer night, everywhere was the same laxity!

The reputation of the dragon of Xia Ke is not small, and the strength is good, but it is a little too tender!

Do you think I don't know that you had a night with that stupid big guy yesterday?

But will you still be here today?

You, who have been called for a drink, will soon find out about my Midsummer Night's gift to you. How splendid it is!

If the timing is right, you might be able to see it with your own eyes!

With this thought, this black shadow suddenly activated, and the next moment it disappeared in place.

……

And at the moment when this black shadow disappeared, several witchers, rangers, and tower guards in the hall who were already old and dizzy, and even posed as old dragon clocks, but a fine light flashed in the depths of their eyes in an instant, and that kind of bright feeling made people unable to connect with the old eyes and dizziness or the old dragon clock before.

"He seemed to be very dismissive just now!"

The gray-haired witcher touched his chin and looked at his friends. Road.

"Yes, though the face is covered; But. Look at the twitching of the skin in the corners of the eyes, that smile is really annoying! ”

The tower keeper, whose hair had fallen out, nodded.

"If it hadn't been for Ted's notice, I'd have wanted to slap him to death!"

With a cold snort, the long-retired ranger picked up a glass of ale, took a sip, and said.

"Now that Ted has informed us, let us young men leave it to them, we who have retired have long since disappeared from people's eyes, and the people outside may have thought that we are all dead; If you suddenly cheat the corpse, it will scare others! ”

"That is, since you are dead, then you must have the consciousness of being a dead!"

The tower keeper, whose hair had already fallen, agreed with the gray-haired witcher beside him, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, each picking up a cup of mint tea and taking a sip.

"Damn, if it weren't for the important thing he said, would it be necessary for us to die sooner?" The long-retired ranger, with traces on his face that cannot be concealed by time, but his body is still tall and strong, and the wine glass with ale in his hand was put on the table fiercely, and in the sound of 'bang', he scolded in a low voice: "I feel like I'm a fool who has gotten on a thief ship!" The next time we meet, I'll definitely give that guy a good beating! ”

"You're not the only one on the thief ship?"

The white-haired witcher smiled and pointed to the many people in the hall who looked old only from their appearances, and said directly, "Which one of them here is not on the thief ship of Gesig?" Moreover, with the strength you still have left, how can you beat Gesge, I'm afraid that even the young man who has been rumored by us recently is not an opponent, right? By the way, what is that young man's name? ”

"Well, it seems to be called Ye Qi, a disciple of John's old bastard, and some say that it is the son of John's old bastard; However, judging by the dragon of Shak, I think it's the son of that old bastard John! The last time we saw that old bastard, he took a few bottles of my potion of full recovery......" The bald tower protector thought for a moment, and then spoke; However, when someone is mentioned again, it is angry.

"You only have a few bottles of fully recovered potion, and the [Fairy Tears] that I have collected for so many years and have not been willing to use have been taken away by that guy!"

"Fairy tears? And what about my [Mermaid Crown]? ”

"And my [Sky Feather]!"

"What are you guys compared to my [Seed of Life]?"

"Is the [Seed of Life] very advanced? My ......"

"My ......"

……

As the bald tower keeper's words fell, the atmosphere that had just been peaceful, like a nursing home, exploded in an instant, and the old people, who were more than sixty or seventy young just from the outside, blushed with anger, jumped up from their respective chairs with their necks swollen, and scolded loudly one by one.

"Alright, stop arguing!"

The white-haired witcher shouted, and immediately, the hall that had been noisy before fell silent again—obviously, among a group of old men, this white-haired witcher had an extraordinary position; Glancing at the entire hall, the gray-haired witcher said angrily, "When I was taken away by John's scoundrel. Didn't you say anything? Why are they all repenting now? ”

"Who repented?" The balding tower keeper snorted in displeasure. Looking at the gray-haired demon hunter beside him, he said, "John, that old fellow, is using these things to save the spread of the gospel; though I don't know the spread of the gospel. But John's friends are our friends, and what are these things if we save them? ”

"That's right! These things originally existed just in case, if they were taken to save people, and they were friends, what should we reluctant? ”

"That is, you old fellow, not only is your hair gray, but even your eyes are spent; It's such a simple thing. I can't see it! ”

"Maybe in a few days, all my teeth will be gone!"

"Ha Luha, I'm afraid I'll even have to soak the muffins in milk, right?"

……

The hall, which had just quieted down, was lively again; As the object of ridicule, the gray-haired old witcher was not moved at all, until everyone had said almost enough, and this time he spoke: "Since you all understand, what else is there to complain about?" ”

"The main thing is that John guy is so uninteresting that he hasn't come to see us for so many years......"

"Yes, yes; Back then, we were still fighting side by side! ”

"yes......"

As soon as such words appeared, a chorus of echo immediately resounded in the hall; Merely. The gray-haired old witcher let out a sneer: "What if you let him come?" Looking at a group of us, half-dead? Or are you prepared. Let him be like us, this half-dead appearance? ”

"We have no hope, so we are willing to be like this! But John and Ward are different, they are far better than us! Even if it is used as a tinder, only they are suitable, and the most suitable thing for old guys like us is to add hope to them and to all people! ”

"Humanity has been enslaved long enough! Since we have such an opportunity to liberate everyone, we don't have to care about anything else! The gray-haired old witcher stood up, walked to the door of the hall, looked up at the black night sky, and said slowly: "Under the stars, it should be freedom, not slavery!" ”

"Since the gods have already experienced the twilight, then we half-dead guys naturally want to drag them into darkness completely!" The bald tower protector stood beside the old witcher with a smile, and said with a smile that should not have been, "Even if it is a life for a life, we have earned it!" ”

"Witchers, only for freedom; Gods and demons can be killed! ”

The long-retired, old-faced Ranger had a sonorous voice that was full of battlefield killing; And in the midst of such shouts, in the entire hall, these old witchers, tower guards, and rangers raised their glasses and shouted loudly: "Witchers, only for freedom; Gods and demons can be killed! ”

……

"The fish has taken the bait!"

Ted, who was staring at the figure in the distance, took the news from the demon hunter next to him, and after taking a look, he gave Ye Qi a thumbs up to Ye Qi beside him, and said with a smile: "Ye, that guy really sent someone to find out if we are in the dolphin bar, what a cautious guy!" Moreover, he deliberately found someone to test 'us'! ”

"And, judging from the current situation, that guy is very satisfied with the results of the trial!" After handing the note in his hand to Ye Qi, Ted couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "If it weren't for the fact that Nofa didn't have a suitable person to replace him, it would be nice if the three of us acted together!" ”

"Nofa's expression and breath are difficult for ordinary people to imitate!" Looking at the short few words on the note, Ye Qi said: "Moreover, if it weren't for Nuofa at the bar, I'm afraid that the other party's temptation would not have ended so easily!" ”

"yes, I don't know how this guy found these hooligans in a short period of time to make trouble!" Ted nodded, agreeing with Ye Qi's statement: "If it weren't for Nofa's decisive move, I'm afraid we would really be exposed!" ”

"Right now, 'we' are still dealing with the rogues with the Rangers, and he will naturally feel relieved to complete his business!"

"Well, I just don't know where this guy is going back?"

Ted, who was standing on the roof, borrowed his glasses to check the figure of the other party shuttling through the crowd, and secretly guessed that the other party had already taken off the black night outfit at this moment, with a red and blue sound, with a star pattern, and a casual dress full of festive atmosphere was worn on the other party's body, and even, in the glasses, Ted clearly saw the other party's smile that was the same as the people around him who were looking forward to the start of the festival.

"Find his shadows!"

Looking condescendingly at the other party who seemed to be shuttling through the crowd at will, but obviously moving in one direction, Ye Qi said with great certainty: "This is the street that the celebration procession must pass through, and his direction is the purpose of the celebration procession: Daslik Grand Theater!" It seems that the goal of our gentleman is not ordinary! ”

Ye Qi's eyes almost narrowed into a slit, and the killing intent flickering out of them made even Ted beside him tremble; However, the next moment Ted reacted-

Daslik Grand Theatre?!

The area where Captain Elsie is on duty and guarded?!
