In the evening, Cui Yuanhai woke up slowly. When Qianye heard the news, he rushed over immediately, prepared some light food and drinks in the quiet and elegant room, and sat down with him to drink together.
"Old man, I didn't expect it would take so long to meet this time." Qianye was quite emotional.
Cui Yuanhai sighed, and said: "If I had known this, it would be better to enjoy the happiness in that small place in the West Land."
Qianye smiled, "With your skill, you will never be able to enjoy happiness anywhere. Sooner or later someone will find you."
Cui Yuanhai seemed to have something on his mind, he drank the wine in a gulp, Fang said: "The reason why I have fallen into this state is not because when I was young, I always thought that I could make a fortune by myself, and I refused the solicitations of all the powerful families. At that time, how could one have imagined the mystery of the original force weapon? Among other things, in some fields, the equipment alone is worth tens of thousands, and it is simply not affordable for individuals. Without these conditions, the road is getting narrower and narrower if you only rely on yourself. Until now At a young age, he is almost like a craftsman."
I remembered that when we first met, the old man was just a shop with a front shop and a back shop. Although the room was not big, it could still accommodate all the utensils. The "bullet", which can be called ingenious in design, was tapped out bit by bit with a small hammer.
However, in today's Qianye's view, the design idea of "bullet" is opportunistic, not kingly.
The "bullet" is exquisite enough, but after all, the grade is not high, which limits the power, and it is no longer in the eyes of today's Qianye.
Cui Yuanhai's own strength is not high, and he does not have large-scale equipment to assist him. Today, he has limited understanding of large-scale force arrays and the force arrays of real high-end firearms, which has long been his bottleneck. He can only slowly improve on these small skills , but there is a limit. Just like "bullets", the real strong can't use them at all.
Regardless of cultivation or various equipment that cost a lot of money, only powerful aristocratic families have enough resources to support Cui Yuanhai's further growth. It's just that when he understood this truth, he was already old, and his great talent was wasted in small workshops like this.
Thinking of this, Qianye couldn't help but sigh with emotion. If Lin Xitang hadn't picked him up from the garbage dump in Yongye back then, and developed him in Huangquan and Red Scorpion successively, I'm afraid he wouldn't have achieved what he is today. After all, in terms of resources, few can surpass the imperial military.
Recalling the past, Cui Yuanhai was full of melancholy, drank for a while, and then talked about the things after the separation.
Back then in the chaos, Cui Yuanhai didn't suffer much because of his status as a gun master. It's just that he was resold several times, and changed several owners successively. It wasn't until a deacon of Chaocheng City Lord's Mansion bought him that he was considered stable.
So Qianye repeatedly inquired and found no news about him, and repeatedly failed. If it wasn't for seeing those weapons by accident, maybe they would never have the chance to meet each other.
The two of them drank back and forth, chatting about the past, gradually getting drunk.
"Where's Yetong and the little guy?" the old man asked. He has mentioned this topic several times, but Qianye always avoids it. But this time, the old man stared at Qianye stubbornly, and he couldn't avoid it.
Qianye forced a smile and said, "The little guy is fine. He is growing up, so he falls asleep every day. Yetong... she is no longer here."
"Not here?!"
"It's left, this is not her home."
The old man's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Nonsense! You guys had a good time, how could she just leave? Something must have happened, right? Did you do something to offend her?" ?”
Qianye smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "No. How should I say this... Let's not talk about it."
The old man understood the other secrets, and when he saw Qianye's appearance, he didn't ask any more questions, so as not to expose the wound again.
He poured Qianye a glass of wine, changed the subject, and said, "It's rare that you still miss me. I have worked in the weapon workshop for a while, and I have gained some experience. Now I feel that I am not that old. If you need me to do something, just say it."
Qianye cheered up and said, "I found a good place during this time, and I just want to build a large-scale weapons workshop there. If you don't mind, you can just go over and host it."
"It's good, it suits me. But the equipment is not cheap!"
"Equipment is ready, don't worry."
Cui Yuanhai lifted his spirits and asked a few questions in detail. Hearing the equipment model reported by Qianye, he couldn't help being surprised: "These things are forbidden in the empire! How did you get them?"
"Even if it is a forbidden product, there is always someone who can find a way."
Qianye didn't say it clearly. Song Zining has been running the empire for many years, and he has also started to accumulate prestige in the army. It is very easy to get some equipment.
After a while, the old man finally became weaker, overwhelmed by alcohol, and fell on the table. Even when he was drunk, he sighed from time to time, as if regretting the wasted time.
Qianye helped him back to the room, laid him down on the bed, and quietly backed out.
He walked out the door, jumped up lightly, like a night bird flying through the sky, and landed on the top of the nearby power tower. This is the highest place on the left, with the starry sky above your head, overlooking the thousands of lights in the city.
Tonight, Cui Yuanhai's thoughts were inadvertently affected, at this moment, he has no intention of doing anything, just wants to stay in this place for a while without being disturbed.
He was sitting on the top of the power tower, unconsciously playing with a small box in his hand, struggling several times on his face, obviously unable to make up his mind.
The past days are still vivid in his mind, and the happiest time in his mind was when Yetong was waiting at home while he was fighting everywhere. At that time, I was actually very happy to bear the responsibility of supporting my family.
If she could choose again, Qianye would not join the battle, but would stay by her side for a long time.
It's a pity that if there is no such thing in the world, it is better than the King of Fingers, and he has to bury his heart in the secret realm of the neutral place.
"What's in your hand?" Ji Tianqing's voice suddenly sounded, startling Qianye immediately.
She unceremoniously sat down beside Qianye, reached out and snatched the small box, and was about to open it.
Qianye was shocked, reached out to grab it, and shouted: "Don't move!"
Ji Tianqing cleverly turned around, hid the box behind her back, straightened her chest, and looked at Qianye provocatively. As soon as she moved like this, Qianye's hand went straight to her chest. Qianye was shocked again, and hastily stopped. This sudden and urgent withdrawal, even though he is physically strong, he also felt a little uncomfortable.
Ji Tianqing turned around and was about to open the box.
"Can't open! That's..."
"Dream Eater King, right?"
Qianye was about to grab it again, but when he heard this sentence, his hands froze in the air, and he said in astonishment, "How do you know?"
With a look of disdain, Ji Tianqing threw the box back to Qianye, saying: "This kind of box is used to hold dream bug queens, and there is such an obvious leak of breath, who wouldn't know it!"
"Out of breath?" Qianye instinctively felt something was wrong.
"The box in your hand is not used to hold the dream worm king at all. So it can't block its breath. If you hadn't kept it in the space equipment, it would have been useless long ago."
Qianye was shocked, if this dream-eating insect king failed, wouldn't all the hard work be in vain. Thinking of this, his face instantly turned pale.
Ji Tianqing looked at Qianye, and said meaningfully, "Have you kept this thing for a long time?"
Qianye didn't speak, and after a while, he nodded silently.
"Actually, when you put Bunny and Dongyue back into the necklace, I felt it. So it's very strange. If you didn't take it out, I would have to ask."
Qianye clenched his fist with his right hand, trembling slightly because of too much force.
Ji Tianqing suddenly sighed softly, and threw a small porcelain bottle to Qianye. There was an indescribable fragrance from the porcelain bottle, and Qianye was stunned when he smelled it, "Mirror water washes life?"
"It's only half a portion, less than one portion. But this amount is enough to revive the Dream Eater King, and can double its efficacy. Whether to use it or not, you have to think about it."
"this… "
"Jingshui Disheng will lose its effectiveness in one day. And the Dream Eater King can only last for one day. After it is revived, if it is still kept in this box, it can only last for three days."
Qianye hesitated for a moment before asking: "You... do you have anything that can hold it?"
"It's impossible for me to have everything, right? What should I do with such a useless thing?" Ji Tianqing said angrily.
Qianye was robbed and said helplessly, "I understand. Also, thank you tonight."
Ji Tianqing shook her head, "Don't thank me, maybe I have bad intentions."
"..." Qianye was startled, as if he had thought of something, but he couldn't believe it.
"Okay, you continue to struggle with the wind, I'm going back to sleep." Ji Tianqing got up and jumped off the power tower, not giving Qianye a chance to ask questions.
After she left, Qianye looked at Jingshui Disheng and Dream Eater King in his hands, and knew that he could no longer escape and had to make a choice.
Ever since he obtained the Dream Eater Queen, Qianye has been selectively forgetting about it, in fact, it is because of one reason. Qianye has always subconsciously believed that the Yetong at this moment was awakened because of taking the dream-eating insect.
For Ye Tong herself, it is difficult to distinguish which is the real her, maybe both, but they are only part of her. However, for Qianye, only the previous Yetong was the real her. Until now, Qianye didn't know how to face the present Yetong, and he didn't know whether he should treat her as the same person.
The reason why Qianye didn't give her the Dream-Eating Insect King was because she was faintly worried. With this, would Yetong fully awaken, and thus completely bury the past, with no possibility of returning to the past
However, from another aspect, Yetong's soul was still in an incomplete state, which affected her strength to a considerable extent. It can be said that if her soul is not restored, there will be no possibility of climbing or even approaching the holy mountain.
Yetong's current combat power barely reached the level of a duke, and his real blood was only that of an earl. In the huge system of the Eternal Night Blood Clan, she is still fragile. If King Wuguang sent a powerful duke, or even came down in person, then Yetong might not even have a chance to escape.
Qianye had Dream Eater Insect King with one hand and Mirror Water Cleaner with the other, both hands were trembling.
