Chapter 36: The Suburbs
In front of him was a beach he was more familiar with—it had been the place where he practiced his nameless skills for quite some time when the bar was renovated; After that, it became a place for his friend Big Man to practice; Although after careful investigation and research, Ye Qi still couldn't understand the meaning of what the big man said, 'The sea here gives me a sense of familiarity', but he knew that this was the best place to meet his friend.
When he left Landinburgh before, this friend of his had already made it a habit to continue to come here to practice after breakfast and before lunch; And according to his understanding of his friend, once his friend has formed a certain habit, then as long as this habit does not have a major change, then it is a kind of lifelong - under that honest appearance, a persistent heart is always unexpected; It's as if he was the first to touch the threshold of the Solar level, and after being surprised, people always take it for granted; After all, among the group, even Ye Qi himself didn't dare to say that he surpassed his friend in terms of cultivation hardship.
After glancing around, Ye Qi smiled slightly after seeing a huge, abrupt reef that appeared on the beach—this beach is rarely visited because of the variety of reefs, and the fact that it is not very convenient to be far from the port and the road; However, the reef in front of the entire beach is not as large and complete as it is, and the most that emerges from the sea is the thickness of a person's thigh, and then it is densely connected into a piece, like coral, layered on top of each other. It's clear.
And in front of him, it was more than fifteen feet in diameter. The whole is a spherical reef. It was undoubtedly someone who had been moved here extraordinarily—and Ye Qi had the impression that there was only one person who could be in such a place and interested in doing such a thing: his friend, Darlan.
Ye Qi still remembers the scene when his friend practiced the special skill [Chariot], the way to use the muscles of the whole body to resist the impact, and the way he was in the 'private library' of the Tower of Wisdom before. There are many similarities to some of the ways to increase the 'fitness' - of course, the biggest similarity is that they all require a strong body to support everything.
According to the bartender, if you don't have a strong body, let alone cultivating a special skill like [Chariot], even the introduction of [Military Path Killing Fist] can't be completed - for such a statement, Ye Qi didn't pay attention to it at first. Until before, in the 'private library' of the Tower of Wisdom, I was looking for a way to increase my 'various physical qualities'. Only then did I have a glimmer of enlightenment.
Undoubtedly, the Supreme Government also possessed or inherited some of the secret techniques of increasing the 'various physical qualities' and fighting before the Divine Age or beyond, and used this as a fusion to form a new special technique [Chariot] - linked to the fact that the foundation of the Supreme Government when it was first established was wrapped in the six vassals of the original Holy See, all this immediately became logical; After all, even a vassal country still has its own 'inheritance', even if its heirs are not up to them, but the 'inheritance' is preserved.
Otherwise, even if there were many of the twenty-one vassal states that rebelled against the Holy See back then, for those punishment knights and priests with knives in the Holy See, it was as simple as chopping melons and vegetables - with the level of gunpowder weapons at that time, ordinary people wanted to fight against those punishment knights and priests with knives who had formed a group army, it was as ridiculous as if the star level was going to exterminate the legendary realm.
However, most of these 'inheritances' should be cut off!
After Ye Qi sighed, he couldn't help but think in his heart - the twenty-one affiliated Holy See states had been fought in the late stage of the war, and there were less than six left; And of these six, half of them are wounded and disabled, and even the guards of the descendants are all exhausted; Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Ye Qi to imagine the extent of the 'inheritance', after all, according to tradition, some real 'cores' are only placed in the hands of one or a few people, and war is the moment when these 'cores' are completely annihilated.
Ye Qi was noncommittal about such an approach—after all, he couldn't put some of the core secrets of his martial arts and spells in the hands of many people, at most just a few close people; Therefore, Ye Qi, who knew that he did not have any position to comment, put down what he was thinking very neatly, and walked towards the huge reef; Then, choosing an angle that was difficult for passers-by to detect, he sat on the ground, quietly waiting for his friend to appear.
There were some marks on the reef that were clearly left in the last few days, enough to prove that his friend would be here as promised—after returning to Landinburgh last night, Ye Qi did not rush back to his pub, but began a serious search two blocks away from the bar; Under such a search, in addition to the sentry posts that originally used various shops as 'open piles', many watchmen hiding in the shadows also quietly appeared around, and even, in his bar, there were several watchmen dressed as drinkers.
And this, of course, does not need to be asked, it must be the arm of the head of the Inquisition—the kind of sacred and cold fluctuations that belong to the Holy See, except for the people of the Inquisition, Ye Qi has not seen it in anyone else; Apparently, the head of the Inquisition had received the news of the death of his disciple in Shak; And, the same message he wanted to convey undoubtedly entered the ears of the other party; However, it is impossible for the other party to be so 'polite'.
In this way, under the premise of obviously looking for his traces, Ye Qi naturally would not expose himself - if he made a move in Landinburgh, he would undoubtedly lose the most; Whether it is his friends, or those children who have been cultivated and have gradually come in handy, it is a blow to him that he is hurt at this moment.
In particular, the witchers who monitored the opening of the 'Wizard's Path' had not yet come to Shak, and he was also at a disadvantage in terms of absolute numbers, so it was wisest to find a place to meet-
When the sun rises. After jumping completely out of sea level. A wave of familiarity. Appeared in Ye Qi's [Blind Fighting Perception], and after determining that there were no people around him who were following or monitoring, Ye Qi, who stood up again, walked straight out of the cover of the reef, and greeted his friends who walked in: "Darlan, morning!" ”
"Ye, Ye?!"
The big man looked at his friend who suddenly appeared in front of him in surprise, and then. With a cheer, he rushed towards Ye Qi.
"Long time no see!"
With a friend's hug, the two patted each other's sturdy backs and sent greetings between friends.
"Ye, why didn't you inform me in advance, you would come back?" The big man who let go of his arm looked at Ye Qi suspiciously; Then, after a half-beat slow, he asked, "Did something happen again?" ”
"That's right! ...... in Shak"
Ye Qi tried his best to relayed what happened to Xia Ke to his friends in a limited number of words.
"No wonder, the last two days. I always felt that there was something strange about the atmosphere around me! Well, leaves. What are you going to do? ”
The big man was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head and asked Ye Qi.
"Of course it's what to do, just do it!" Ye Qi said so, and then saw his friend's puzzled look, and couldn't help but explain with a smile: "I and the director of the Inquisition have irreconcilable contradictions, whether there is the death of the other party's disciple or not, we are all enemies; Sooner or later, you need to separate a life and death one; Now, at most, it's a little bit earlier, and nothing else has changed! ”
"Oh, I see! What do I need to do? ”
The big man nodded understandingly, and then looked at Ye Qi again.
"Of course you're going to keep doing what you're doing now!"
"Still guarding the bar? Can you change it? ”
Hearing Ye Qi's arrangement, this big man who had surpassed Ted in stature seemed to be endlessly wronged and wanted to find someone to cry about - and in fact, if he could cry in exchange for the task of not having to guard at the bar, then the big man would definitely cry without hesitation; After all, for him, even with the help of black marketeers and bartenders, he was confused when dealing with the affairs of the bar; Looking at the accounts in and out every day, he couldn't help but want to tear up the so-called account book and stomp on it twice.
"I really don't understand why Datong likes those numbers, is this the blood of the so-called businessman?" Starting with such words, the big man began to think about the friend in front of him and vomited bitterness, and after he left, the difficulties he faced told Ye Qi one after another: "If it weren't for the bag of gems that you commissioned someone to bring back, I'm afraid I would have to go to someone with Instructor Amanda to 'borrow' money, just like you did at the beginning!" ”
Ye Qi did not hide his friends from his friends who had no money to live on 'borrowed money' after he first arrived in Landenburgh, and Ye Qi's friends did not have any sympathy for the black people who were 'borrowed'; instead, at the suggestion of the little man, these people were listed as "banks" that could be paid without interest and without repayment when the fiscal deficit was raised.
"I guess you didn't discover the mystery of those numbers, right?"
"I'd rather not understand the mystery than let me go to those ledgers again!" When the big man heard Ye Qi's words with a mocking tone, he couldn't help but scratch his head honestly again; However, in the next moment, the big man said excitedly to Ye Qi: "Datong and Ava have also touched the 'threshold', if they break through, it won't be too long!" ”
"Sure enough, otherwise, those young priests with swords sent by the Holy See would not have all perished!"
Ye Qi, who had already received similar news from Lyman, couldn't help but nod slightly after hearing the accurate news from the big man.
"Hey, Ye, how do you know the Dao?"
For his friend's unpredictable prophet, the big man looked surprised.
"Don't forget, Lyman is our ally! So what about you now? ”
Ye Qi said with a slight smile.
"My words, it should be soon!"
Speaking of this, the big man who usually has a simple smile on his face showed a confident smile - maybe not extremely smart, but diligence can make up for clumsiness, and the big man has always thought so; And the facts have also proved the correctness of his approach.
"I'm looking forward to that day!"
Patting his friend's solid shoulder hard, Ye Qi said with a smile - for Ye Qi at this moment. The strength of the friends around you is naturally the stronger the better; And not just to deal with the crisis that the head of the Inquisition might bring. And in the face of the battles that will inevitably take place in the future. Strong strength is the bargaining chip to ensure safety.
"The opening of the Wizard's Path and the opening of the Wizard's Secret City are both in Randingburgh in two weeks, have you received news from Shak?" After seeing his friend nod, Ye Qi continued: "I will be in the villa donated by the Nosd family on the outskirts of Landinburgh for the next two weeks! If anything, just send someone to me! ”
"Well, can you tell Linenex about your return?"
Nodding, the big man asked.
"Only you know the way!"
After a long silence. Ye Qi said at this time—it's not that he is not worried about his female disciple; In fact, Ye Qi is absolutely at ease with his female disciple; It's just that he knows that if her female disciple knows that she comes back, even if he can resist not coming to see him, he will definitely be found to be emotionally wrong; After all, as a teacher, he really knew too well that his female disciple was definitely not someone who could hide his emotions.
"When the wizard's path opens, I will go to watch the ceremony among the witchers, and I will naturally meet at that time!"
After finishing speaking, Ye Qi added again - Ye Qi was just a little curious about the opening of the wizard's path; But for the Wizard's Secret City. But he had a reason to participate; Whether it's the high-grade magic crystals needed for the Wizard Emperor's magic tower, or those rare materials. Only in the secret market of wizards can there be the best solution.
"Then, continue your cultivation! Don't let anyone find out what's wrong! ”
Ye Qi waved goodbye to his friend; And the big man, who got Ye Qi's reminder, immediately carried the spherical reef to his shoulder, and then threw it high in the air with a loud shout of 'drink'.
……
Landingburgh, suburbs.
After passing through the dense pine forest, Ye Qi appeared directly in front of the small villa in front of him, the pavilion surrounded by vines and green vines in the courtyard became more and more green after this midsummer, and a wave of vitality came to Ye Qi's heart from above - although [Nature's Assistance] is different from the [Blind Bucket Perception] that is like instinct anytime and anywhere, when you want the help of plants and animals, you must have a process of spending your own physical strength and energy to open it; However, in the normal state that is not opened, [Nature's Assistance] still has a certain perception of the surrounding plants and animals; Although it is not as wide and clear as when it is opened, it is not much different when it is only for one or several plants at close range.
After gently stroking the long vines and green vines that make up this pavilion, and feeling the joy of seeing the owner like a puppy and a kitten, Ye Qi couldn't help but smile slightly, walked straight to the pavilion, sat on the rattan chair in the pavilion, and looked at the small lake next to him - Ye Qi chose this suburban villa as his place to stay for the past two weeks, in addition to being relatively remote and hidden here, more importantly, under the surface of the lake, there is also a [A+ level mission].
The thirty-five Solar-level Seagod guards that remained in the undersea temple were really suitable for Ye Qi at this moment—whether it was gaining experience after completing the task, it could make his experience bar at the moment a big step forward; It is still the best choice to use these Seagod guards to sharpen his [Cold Weapon Master].
【Cold Weapon Master 60】
Since you can't find a suitable way to improve for the time being, then in the next two weeks, use the most primitive method as a boost!
Looking at the markers that appeared on the light blue screen, Ye Qi, who had such a thought in his heart, put all the items that were not too important in his pocket into the [Dimensional Bag], kept the holy weapon that could not be stored, picked up the Enma Knife, and strode towards the lake-
The Tanah Lot Temple at the bottom of the lake was still the same as it was, and after passing through the membrane that seemed to isolate the lake like an enchantment, Ye Qi stepped straight on the stairs that rotated down the road; After two consecutive turns, Ye Qi, who was blessed with [High-level Stealth], saw the thirty-five Seagod guards who chased him and fled in embarrassment.
Compared to before, the Poseidon guards at this moment are still tall and giant-like, and the fluctuations from the [Blind Fighting Perception], the fluctuations of these Poseidon guards are still active, and there is no weakening - unless the statue of the Poseidon is broken, or these Poseidon guards are directly destroyed, otherwise, in this temple, they should be 'immortal'.
Glancing at the Poseidon statue close to the dome, with the improved [Perception], Ye Qi immediately noticed the difference from the original - at this moment, in his [Blind Fighting Perception], the Poseidon statue emitted a faint fluctuation of similarity and belief power, and these faith powers were connected to these Seagod guards wandering in the temple.
And Ye Qi, who has his own special purpose, of course it is impossible to break the statue of the sea god!
He put his left hand on the hilt of the Enma Sword, and walked towards the temple, and after reaching the 'critical point' that would definitely be seen through, he immediately lifted the blessing of [high-level invisibility] -
Roar!
With the appearance of Ye Qi's figure, those Seagod guards who were still wandering immediately rushed towards Ye Qi with their own roars; In the face of these menacing Seagod guards, Ye Qi bowed forward slightly, and his right hand grasped the hilt of the Enma Knife.
Boom!
With the sound of the Enma Knife coming out of its sheath, Ye Qi's whole person turned into a streamer and rushed back.
