Ted, Jacob's entire relic excavation team, Hurley Byron and his wife, Giffen De, as well as Ellie Momm who was following her daughter, and the large number of people were completely dominated by Randy De. Many young witch hunters headed by a blonde witch hunter, including the son of the Hurley Byron couple, and descendants of many witch hunters—obviously, so many people appeared almost in no particular order, because there were some in advance. at the agreed time.
Of course, what surprised Ye Qi the most was that Nofa followed everyone and appeared at the door of the hall—although the other party’s face was still cold, but the impatience that flashed from his eyes made Ye Qi I understand that if it was from my own intention, this cold-faced man would never participate in this kind of banquet that is incompatible with his personality.
When he was an apprentice apostle, he didn't get along with the other party for a short time. Ye Qi understood very well that a person like Nofa with a cold personality prefers to stay in his room and read books, or directly devote himself to At work; as for attending banquets, parties
That was almost impossible, anyone who saw his cold face would swallow the words of invitation back.
It should be the assignment of the Tower Master of the Tower of Wisdom!
The obvious answer appeared in the bottom of Ye Qi's heart—except for the master of the Tower of Wisdom, Nofa's own teacher, Ye Qi couldn't think of anyone who could change the mind of this cold-faced man.
"Morning, Uncle Jacob!"
Ye Qi walked to the side of Jacob and his party, and greeted him with a smile.
"It's already morning! However, for us who just woke up, it's still morning! So, Ye, morning!" In Ye Qi's greeting, Jacob couldn't help smiling, his unique hoarse voice opened a A little joke - being able to return to one's hometown and see long-lost relatives will bring a good mood to anyone; let alone yes. Under such a premise, I will immediately participate in a banquet that belongs to myself and can be completely relaxed.
Look, as soon as you enter the hall, you start to cheer loudly. Just Ferribe who jumped onto the table and danced. You can understand the mood of everyone at this moment—many demon hunters who have taken off their apostle trench coats and are just in casual clothes are obviously very much looking forward to this banquet.
After Ye Qi toasted with many familiar demon hunters, Jacob also greeted everyone. He pointed to the chair in the corner to Ye Qi—
"Uncle Jacob, what's the matter?"
When he came to the corner, Ye Qi, who had just sat down, asked—obviously, Jacob would not have chosen such a secluded place if nothing happened.
"It's something about Elsie!" She nodded. Jacob said without concealment: "I met Else at the outpost this morning and discussed some things with her..."
Speaking of this, Ye Qi keenly saw the helplessness and bitterness on Jacob's face, and he couldn't help asking: "What did you discuss with Elsie?"
"I want Else to retire from the Rangers!"
"Retired from the Rangers?!"
Ye Qi couldn't help but let out a low cry, and then, he suddenly understood what was going on with the helplessness and bitterness on Jacob's face. The path of the knight is also unwavering; and. Based on Ye Qi's understanding of his lover, once that stubborn temper comes up, its stubbornness is comparable to a rock.
Therefore, when faced with anything, Ye Qi would patiently explain the meaning to the female cavalry commander. Then, seek the understanding of the other party; instead of directly explaining in the tone of 'telling' - although I don't know what the situation was like at the time, I looked at the helplessness and bitterness on Jacob's face. It is clear that this elder has suffered considerable setbacks from the female cavalry captain.
"This is probably quite difficult for Elsie!" Facing the frustrated elder, Ye Qi comforted him with words—he sighed softly, and said slowly: "After all, for Elsie For Ruth, life in the Rangers is almost everything she remembers; being born there, growing up, becoming a Ranger, serving as a captain, and we also met and knew each other at the Ranger camp... ”
"That's right, I know all of this!" Jacob nodded, but the helplessness on his face did not fade away; he couldn't help but sighed, "I really regret it now, why did I leave Els in you at that time?" It’s time for the cavalry camp, it should be brought up by my side!”
"Uncle Jacob, why did you let Else retire from the Rangers? In my opinion, Else has done a very good job, and she is a competent Ranger Captain; not only in terms of ability, but also in the surrounding Everyone also likes and loves Else very much!" Ye Qi asked out the doubts in his heart - what Ye Qi said was completely from an objective point of view, and there was no subjective bias because of the relationship between the two In fact, what the female cavalry commander did was even better than what Ye Qi said; although there was no shortage of women among the rangers, there was only one female cavalry commander who served as a camp captain.
If it weren't for her outstanding ability, even if it was because of Ye Qi's influence and relationship, it would be impossible for the female cavalry commander to hold such an important position all the time—the cavalry camp that follows the knight system has a competition system every year , starting from various basic training, to the final horse station, and the gun shooting that was added only 30 years ago; if in these competitions, as the captain's performance is not as good as that of ordinary rangers, there will naturally be rumors outgoing.
However, in these competitions, the female cavalry commander showed her strength to the world with most of the top results; not only the ranger camp she was in, but also the remaining seven ranger camps. It's the same - at the beginning, in the competition between eight ranger captains, the female cavalry captain won the first place.
Strong in strength and outstanding in ability, even if she is a woman, the female cavalry commander still has a status recognized by everyone.
"These are the facts. As a fairly qualified adoptive father, I still know the honor of my adopted daughter! But, but..." Jacob smiled from the bottom of his heart when he saw what the female cavalry captain had gained; but , this gratifying smile only lasted for a moment, and then was replaced by helplessness; after opening his mouth several times, Jacob suddenly asked Ye Qi in a low voice: "Do you know about the recent transfers in the headquarters?" ?”
"Reassignment?" Ye Qi was taken aback.
"Well. Some transfers are only available when preparing for war!" Jacob told Ye Qi about his discovery: "As a native of Shaker, I know many people who work in the headquarters. In particular, the tower guards are my good friends; however, this time, some of them have been sent to other places... "
"This kind of transfer happened once twenty years ago. However, that time it happened suddenly and very quickly; I didn't realize it until the war came. The meaning of these representatives! And in that war , my good friends died one after another, Els’ father also died in that war, leaving only Els who was still in her infancy, and me who was seriously injured.”
Speaking of that sudden war. Recalling the death of his friend, Jacob's face was full of sadness. He directly picked up a bottle of rum, uncorked the wine, took a few sips, and then continued: "I saw this scar. ?"
Jacob opened the collar that was always turned up, revealing the scar that he had been covering all the time—it was a three-inch-long scar on the top of the neck, almost connected to the jaw, and the wound was rugged. It was like a centipede lying abruptly on the neck; Jacob pointed to the scar, and said, "At the most critical moment, I dodged and only hurt my vocal cords; but I know very well that it's just luck; And luck is such an illusory thing. It is impossible to accompany you all the time! Therefore, I want Else to leave the Rangers!"
"Uncle Jacob, you are worried that Else will be in danger on the battlefield, so you want Else to retire?"
"Um!"
Jacob nodded, then. He silently picked up the wine bottle and took another sip.
I see…
Ye Qi, who was sitting by the side, looked at Jacob, who was drinking silently, and felt amazed and surprised—he suddenly knew why Jacob would persuade the female cavalry captain to retire; what surprised him was that Jacob was able to just With a few personnel transfers, the 'preparatory action' at the Demon Hunter headquarters was guessed.
Last time when I went to the Qianmao District to look for the witch, I accidentally discovered the behavior of the Holy See collecting religious items. After the strange wolf informed the Holy See of the plan that the Holy See might implement, Ye Qi used his own tone to express some things that could be said. All the incidents were reported to the Demon Hunter Headquarters—the Demon Hunter Headquarters would naturally not be indifferent to such a report from Ye Qi; After the result', the corresponding 'preparatory action' plan was launched.
When meeting with the Tower Master of the Tower of Sacred Relics in Qianmao District this time, the other party asked him about the situation at that time in detail, and also relayed to him the corresponding actions of the Demon Hunter Headquarters; therefore, the whole Ye Qi was clear about the ins and outs of this matter; it was just that Ye Qi did not expect that Jacob would be able to find a trace of clues—the operation of the Demon Hunter Headquarters is naturally strict, and there is no news leaked at all, so Ye Qi Qi can be sure that everything Jacob knows is completely guessed by himself based on the changes.
And being able to have such a guess is enough to prove that his lover's adoptive father is excellent in some aspects—of course, there are some discrepancies in Jacob's guess, at least, he has no idea about the details of the plan. Guessed it, but it was enough for Ye Qi to be surprised; after all, Ye Qi thought that he could not be like Jacob, and only by relying on some personnel transfers, he could guess that there would be such a staff in the headquarters of the witcher. 'Readiness Plan'.
"It's nothing to be surprised about! After all, for me who was born and raised in Shake, I am very familiar with everything here, especially what my friends are in charge of, I know it like the back of my hand!" Ya Looking at Ye Qi with a surprised face, Gebu couldn't help waving his hands. Although he was smiling, the worry in his eyes didn't change at all, and his hoarse voice became deeper and deeper: "And it's precisely because of this This kind of understanding makes me even more worried! If Else is not allowed to retire and leave the Rangers before the war breaks out, Else will definitely be the first to ask to go to the battlefield once the war breaks out!"
"So, Ye, instead of me, go and persuade Else again!"
As he said that, Jacob looked at Ye Qi with hope, and Ye Qi just frowned, then nodded vigorously—Based on Ye Qi's understanding of the female cavalry captain, he completely believed in Jacob Everything said is true; once a war breaks out, the female cavalry commander must be a group of people who want to go to the front line; although it is far away from this war. There is still a long time, but Ye Qi cannot guarantee that some special situations will not happen during this period.
Originally out of mutual respect, Ye Qi did not interfere too much with the female cavalry captain's every move, as if the other party did the same; but in Jacob's request. Ye Qi was shaken in his heart. And immediately the 'selfish' side of me has the absolute upper hand—
Perhaps Else should be given a safer position...
Different from Jacob's idea of directly asking the female cavalry commander to leave the Rangers, Ye Qi knew that it was simply impossible for the female cavalry commander to retire and leave like this; Let the female cavalry commander still be a ranger, but only take a job that is not dangerous.
I should ask Master Hessel or Master Blank for help...
Regarding the position system of the Demon Hunter Headquarters, Ye Qi doesn’t know much about the position system except for the top six tower masters; don’t say it’s on par with an existence like Jacob who can count everything in Shaker, even if it’s with some People who have stayed in Shark for a longer time are also quite inferior in comparison-but. Even in the face of professional matters, one should seek an expert. Ye Qi remembered this sentence very clearly.
"I will try my best to persuade Else! It's just, Else..."
"Don't worry, you just have to do your best!" Facing Ye Qi's reply, Jacob smiled, and then stood up again: "The banquet is about to begin. Let's drink to our heart's content first; then , and then go to solve the things that should be solved!"
Watching Jacob leave the corner and join the growing crowd in the hall, Ye Qi leaned his body back and leaned his back completely on the chair. Thinking about Jacob's 'keen discovery' - as a demon hunter, Ye Qi naturally wouldn't worry that Jacob would talk nonsense; but, what Jacob can discover, can others not discover
perhaps. Jacob's discovery is based on a number of corresponding coincidences, but the odds of these coincidences are not very low. It's even very easy—Xia Ke was born, he knows everything about Sha Ke, and knows the tower guards who are in charge of all this; except for the last point, the other two points, in Ye Qi's opinion, are suitable candidates. A lot of a lot.
Demon hunter headquarters, you should be on guard!
Although he had such a thought in his heart, Ye Qi understood that he should still have a detailed discussion with the Tower Master of the Moon Night Tower—being prudent as Ye Qi's habit had already taught him what is the most correct course of action. perhaps, sometimes it seems superfluous to some people, but such superfluous is better than the final failure.
ding ding ding...
Several times in a row, the crisp sound of the spoon hitting the glass echoed in the hall. Although it was clear, it was grand and continuous; therefore, after only a moment, the originally chaotic banquet hall became quiet, and there was an explosion of noise. Looking at the location of the sound - in the middle of the hall, staggering the barbecue grill and the soup pot, slightly behind the position, the tower master of the moon night tower and the tower master of the holy relic tower are standing there side by side, and the latter is still holding a A wine glass and spoon.
Obviously, it is very difficult for anyone other than this legendary powerhouse to be able to make a sound comparable to Hong Zhong Dalu with these two small things—feeling the eyes of everyone, this tower of sacred objects The tower owner directly threw the spoon and wine glass in his hand onto the table beside him, picked up the wine barrel at his feet, and rushed straight into the crowd, leaving everyone's eyes completely on the tower of the moonlit night. on the body of the Lord.
As the tower master of the Moonlit Night Tower, Hesel has long been used to the behavior of his friend; he looked at his friend who rushed into the crowd and rushed to the corner where the wine barrels were placed, helplessly. After smiling, he turned around and looked at all the demon hunters present, and said slowly—
"Everyone's journey is not over yet. At this moment, it's just a short rest!"
"After all, only adequate rest can make everyone's footsteps stronger and can go further!"
"However, some of our friends have gradually drifted away during this journey, reaching the edge of the starry sky!"
"Here, let us see them off!"
The Tower Master of the Moon Night Tower picked up the wine glass and raised it high up, as if facing the sky, and all the demon hunters around him did the same thing; including Ye Qi and the Tower Master of the Holy Object, no one exception.
"Wish them all the best!"
"We will never forget their figures, and their memory will always be in our hearts; we will go forward instead of them!"
After a word of blessing, Master Tata of the Moonlight Night drank the wine in the cup.
"We will move forward in their place!"
In the hall, all the demon hunters said in unison as they drank the wine in their cups.
"Whether it's sadness or laughter, we will move forward!"
"Finally, everyone, drink and go home!"
The Tower Master of the Moon Night Tower put down his wine glass and said slowly, ending his opening remarks before the banquet.
