It is already the last day of late autumn, and all crops have been harvested before the first snow in winter, leaving only piles of straw stacked high on the edge of the field, surrounding the roadbed of the entire village A circle; Ye Qi, who was standing at the entrance of the village, glanced at the straw piles, and immediately found that these straw piles were like walls, tightly guarding the village in front of him; and when he felt the slight fluctuations from the straw piles, , Ye Qi immediately confirmed his previous speculation—the straw pile was a camouflage, and the ground below should be fortifications.
After discovering this, Ye Qi couldn't help but nodded secretly—the reason why he didn't directly reject the other party's invitation to join was because he wanted to see the strength of the organization called "Bloodline Glory" by the other party; For him to establish his own strength in the Bay Area, allies during the development period are indispensable; but from now on, it still has a certain scale; Compared with, even compared with the Nord family, it is far from it. Seriously speaking, it is not bad.
Just good, not up to my standards!
…
In the center of the village, beyond the scope of the small square, enter a tall gate made of pure steel, where the most important members of the bloodline glory organization gather. They gathered here to meet a newly discovered half-breed companion that Karas said, and of course there were some other important things.
Sitting on a towering pedestal in this meeting room is a plump woman with long black hair hanging down, her left eye and half of her cheek covered by slightly longer bangs; The dim knight's sword beat the ground rhythmically with the shaking of her wrist.
"Boss, why do we have to come here to wait for someone? And it's a newcomer who is not punctual!" The slender, thin girl's skin is as pale as if she has never seen the sun, and what is eye-catching is her knee-length hair. At this moment, the handsome face was full of impatience——standing beside the female leader, she tugged on the traveler's robe, Nine Nights Without Night's eyes flicked around boredly, and there was no muttering in her mouth at all. Meaning of cover-up: "Why do I have to waste my travel time waiting for someone new who has nothing to do with me?"
"Because that newcomer is our companion!" The voice was like a war drum, and Anderu, who was as tall as a giant upright bear, was still taller than Nine Nights Nightmare even though he was sitting; His face was full of impatience, but he was full of anticipation: "I heard that guy Karas said that the other guy is a good guy! And the strength is also very strong! I really want to fight to see..."
"A stupid dog who only knows how to fight..." Nine Nights Wumai interrupted Anderu's words unceremoniously, pointed at the other's nose and yelled: "It's so noisy! There is no sense of beauty, the whole body is full of muscles, even the brain Violent dogs that are also stuffed with muscles; can't you read quietly like the Ainworth brothers and sisters?"
Holding the books in their hands, the Ainworth brothers and sisters glanced at Nine Nights Nightmare and Anderu indifferently, and then turned their eyes back to the books; while the short and tall Tezzie Nofiler, who was wearing a cloak, looked carefully at the books. The female leader moved there, and now he is close to Nine Nights, who has delayed another trip because the other party is not punctual. It is obviously a stupid decision; although his strength is average, it does not mean that his wisdom is also average. .
…
There was a gentle young man walking in front of him. Facing the obvious posts and hidden sentries along the way, Ye Qi followed behind and approached the village unharmed. The cobbled streets run through the entire village, and the houses are scattered and arranged beside the road. Livestock such as chickens and sheep are interspersed back and forth in the village, and on the small square in the middle of the village, a bracket with an alarm bell stands there impressively. The people in the costumes of the chaotic era are shaking the handle vigorously, pulling the bucket filled with clean water up from the well...
If it is not confirmed that he is still in the bay area, Ye Qi almost thinks that he has returned to Shaker—Shaker, which maintains the architecture and flavor of hundreds of years ago, is so similar to everything here, the only difference The place, that is, Shaker, represents the town hundreds of years ago, while this represents the countryside at that time; of course, the premise is that the mixed-race people with tails or beast ears in front of them must be ignored.
"Here it is!" The gentle young man who greeted the mixed-race people in the village friendly along the way brought Ye Qi to a steel gate next to the central square, pointed to the gate and gestured to Ye Qi beside him: "Boss There are also important members of the organization inside, and they will be very happy to see you coming!"
"Whoosh!"
Just after the gentle young man pushed open the steel gate, a scalpel gleaming with cold light flew straight out, heading straight for Ye Qi.
"Ding!"
"Is this how you express your happiness?" After knocking the scalpel away with the Yan Mo scabbard, Ye Qi taunted the corner of his mouth; and just after his words fell, a female voice full of anger came from the room : "This is a warning for your lateness!"
"Warning for being late?" Ye Qi sized up the slender girl in front of him who was less than 1.5 meters tall but whose hair was above her knees. His eyes narrowed slightly—the mottled and mixed dark aura mixed together from the girl in front of him. Although it was only a little overflow, it also made him extremely uncomfortable as a demon hunter, as if he rushed into a lair full of dark creatures alone, and was watched by a group of dark creatures hiding in the shadows; Seeing Ye Qi with narrowed eyes and the slender girl with angry face, the gentle young man immediately walked between them and confessed his mistake: "If you are late, it should be my fault!"
"Sure enough, it's because of you, Karas Ivan!" The slender girl put her foot directly on the gentle young man's calf, then jumped up and unceremoniously slapped the other man's face with a whip: " Let me fall into the abyss to repent!"
"Okay, invite our guests to come in!" The faint female voice full of coercion stopped the slender girl who was still chasing the gentle young man who rolled a few meters away with his face down; Dragging the other party back, he beckoned to Ye Qi at the same time: "Come in!"
The steel door was unexpectedly wide, but the entire room was empty except for the highest pedestal and a few chairs, and Ye Qi was obviously stunned when he saw the walls and roof gleaming with metal light. Let's see—conference room plus shelter
Then, Ye Qi smiled slightly, and looked at the woman sitting on the pedestal—the half of her face covered by bangs could not dim her beautiful face, but instead added a mysterious attraction; The desire to see the opponent's bangs covering his true face; however, the dull knight sword in the opponent's hand is like a thorny rose, which will hurt those who reach out at will...
"I am the leader of Bloodline Glory—Fecineur de Aja; glad to meet you and my fellow clan!" The female leader's knight sword stood beside the pedestal, stood up and walked in front of Ye Qi, carefully Staring into Ye Qi's eyes, he slowly said again: "Flame, wire restraint, lightning, and now there are shadows... Among all the members of the same race, you are the lucky one!"
Facing the words of the female leader, Ye Qi was not surprised—it is no secret that he is now a person with multiple abilities, after several battles in full view; Has a detailed description of his abilities.
Ye Qi didn't have any resentment towards this - for him, sitting as the branch president of the Witcher Union in the Bay Area, it was not something to worry about if he showed a certain strength and attracted the attention of all parties On the contrary, this will make him sit in the position of the branch president more stably; even the senior management of the Demon Hunter headquarters will take his potential into consideration when making any plans in the future; of course, with so many "lines of sight" Note that some things that should be hidden must also be hidden.
Just like this time when he came to the gathering place of Bloodline Glory, he only took action after the other party specially sent a "stand-in" to participate in the moon celebration.
"Luck doesn't mean everything!" Ye Qi doesn't deny his luck—the existence of the system is the proof of his luck; but if he attributes everything to luck, he doesn't agree with it: There are times when you are lucky, but not all success depends on luck!"
"You are so lucky, will you achieve the success you want?" The female leader not only didn't care about Ye Qi's rebuttal, but also asked Ye Qi's words; obviously, the female leader was curious about Ye Qi's new clan Of course, there is also a certain sense of embarrassment for Ye Qi-because facing this question, no matter whether Ye Qi chooses to affirm or deny, it will be an imperfect answer; looking at the female leader in front of him, Ye Qi naturally shrugged. She shrugged her shoulders and said pointedly: "The success I want cannot be achieved by myself!"
Although Ye Qi didn't directly choose to affirm or deny, but the female leader nodded with a smile - to make all the high-level officials of the entire bloodline glory wait here, Ye Qi's strength is part of it, and more importantly, Ye Qi's bay area The identity of the branch president of the Demon Hunters Guild; after all, as mixed races, there is no shortage of demon hunters performing tasks among the enemies they face.
"If possible, we are happy to help you as a fellow clan!"
Ye Qi was a little surprised by the directness of the female leader—as the leader of an organization, he would definitely put his own organization first, and when the other party almost frankly said about the cooperation, he completely handed over the initiative to the other party. To his hands; let him have enough bargaining chips...
What does the other party want
Ye Qi never believed that there would be something for nothing, even the system in his body was an equivalent exchange that would only be rewarded if he paid; therefore, the other party's behavior of almost "gifting" not only did not make him feel relaxed, but started from the bottom of his heart. Be vigilant.
