Chapter 54 The Dinner Party
When the Northod family carriage carrying Yeqi and his party returned to the Northod family manor, it was already ten o'clock in the evening; however, this had no effect on the dinner just held, but instead became more lively in the quiet night; after watching Jacob walk towards the old man of the Northod family on behalf of the witch hunter, Yeqi casually selected some food and sat in the corner; the weak witch hunter who had just been riding in the same car with him was pulled aside and whispered quietly by the two young men who had been following him.
Even if you don't have to listen specifically, Ye Qi can know what these two young people are asking. It's nothing more than between the witch hunters and some secrets that happened in the dark world in the car. After the weak witch hunter casually talked about a few secrets that happened in the witch hunters and the dark world, the two young people were attracted almost instantly; danger and stimulation for young people of this age, it is basically a spell that is difficult to get rid of. As long as it exists, it will be attracted; and it is the kind of unreasonable reason.
Ye Qi did not object to this; in addition to the fact that this is a unique nature of young people and the concept of respect and will not be deliberately killed, it is more because Ye Qi believes that this weak witch hunter who has just met for a short time will guide the two young people in a more correct way; in fact, when he was in the car before, the weak witch hunter was very skillful in telling these secrets, in addition to the courage he deserved, there is also corresponding wisdom. Obviously, this is very beneficial for the two young people who have become witch hunters and will continue to move forward; at least, they instinctively realize that recklessness is not courage. There is wisdom in it.
Sitting in the corner, Ye Qi was carefully tasting the dinner food prepared by the Northod family, and his eyes narrowed comfortably. Although he didn't want to admit it, this ancient family tradition also had its amazing aspect in its stereotype and stubbornness, and food was the best among them. Basically, the production of each portion of food has reached the point of making excellence, which made the most mean foodies find faults. It took considerable effort.
Ye Qi naturally did not have the tongue of a gourmet; therefore, he could only admire the food on the plate; at the same time, he was paying attention to the arrangement of the Northod family for the Wizard Mi City. When he just entered the Northod family's manor, he had already seen dozens of tents arranged in the exterior walls of the manor along the exterior walls of the manor, arranged in the "mountain"; it was tight, but it would never appear crowded, enough for hundreds of people to wander around and buy.
Obviously, ordinary secret markets have been arranged there, but it is not enough to entertain some special buyers like ordinary businesses. Ordinary items can be placed on the shelves, but special commodities will not be placed on ordinary shelves even for confidentiality and security. It is necessary to have an existence similar to a vault to make these commodities appear.
Ye Qi was very sure that what he needed to find or what he sold, or even the right wizards who were good at potions and alchemy would definitely be in such buildings similar to the "vacancies" of the shops, rather than in ordinary "shops" outside. Of course, Ye Qi would also visit ordinary shops; he did not expect to find anything special, but just to make his participation in the Wizard Secret City more perfect; and then his energy would be placed in a higher level and strive to get everything he needed in one day.
Otherwise, the time for arrival of Dude that he and the Chameleon agreed to be irresistible will be delayed. In fact, in order to join the Wizards and Secret City, Ye Qi must arrive at Dude within the agreed time. In the next two days, he must travel together at night, give up the more comfortable train, and use his legs to go all out; otherwise, the result will inevitably be to break the appointment.
Although the chameleon's abilities are ever-changing, Ye Qi can fully feel that this chameleon is a person who values promises and credit very much. Such people naturally will not have any good feelings for people who cannot keep their promises and do not keep their promises; and Ye Qi does not want to be placed on the blacklist after alliance with the other party.
Maybe, I should notify you in advance!
After pondering for a while, Ye Qi made such a safer decision in Landingburg, his ever-changing ally also had his own stronghold; and, not far from his bar, it was in a hotel two streets away; of course, according to Ye Qi's guess, the hotel waiters, including the hotel owner, should be subordinates of his ever-changing ally; although they appeared to be exactly like a hotel operator.
"Why, the food is not in tune with the mouth?"
A slightly old voice interrupted Ye Qi's contemplation; he raised his head and looked at the gesture of the old wizard pointing at the seat beside him inquiring, Ye Qi immediately moved his body and opened up a sufficient position for the side: "Master Weston, please sit!"
"The food is great, and it is the best food I have ever eaten!" After the old wizard sat down, Ye Qi smiled and answered the old wizard's question: "It's just that I was thinking about something just now! It has nothing to do with this delicious food, but my performance just now is enough to shame this delicious food; I hope the chef will not blame me for being rude!"
"Any chef will have a tolerant heart when he hears you. Moreover, as far as I know, the chef of the Northod family is very good, and he will not mind; so you can rest assured!" The old wizard smiled and forked the food on his plate, which was a little different from Yeqi, filling the whole plate with the choice of the food; the old wizard's choice was very regular, such as barbecue with thick fat, and bacon food was not on his recipes, while some fruits, vegetables and nuts that were equally nutritious became the main food choices; but fortunately, the fruits and vegetables at the Northod family dinner were rich enough that they would not make some people who generally prefer vegetarianism.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, the old wizards choose these vegetarian foods more because they are older. Ye Qi, who knows the other party's identity, does not think so; not to mention that in [Blind Fight Perception], the other party's vitality that is far more powerful than ordinary adults is even more unlikely to have symptoms of discomfort. Therefore, according to Ye Qi's speculation, the old wizard in front of him should be a very simple vegetarian.
"I also liked fat food very much when I was young; however, after the elk I had raised was roasted by a group of ignorant little ghosts, I never touched such food again!" Seeing Ye Qi's eyes, the old wizard explained naturally.
"And it's no wonder that the little ghosts were the elk I kept running out of my laboratory, and it was not marked with my mark; in the end, the little ghosts sent me a piece of venison with good intentions; it shows that my popularity is still good!" Speaking of this, Ye Qi could see that the old wizard's expression was a hint of helplessness, and more sad. Although he had never raised a pet, Ye Qi understood the status of the pet among his masters. It was a kind of existence similar to his family and even had a spiritual sustenance; he could completely imagine the old wizard in front of him when he knew that the venison he had eaten was the elk he had raised.
I'm afraid I've vomited more than once!
With this idea, Ye Qi instinctively changed the subject and no longer entangled in these foods. He asked directly to the old wizard: "Master Weston is also coming to steal the mind of the inner demon?"
“It can be said yes, or it can be said not!”
Ye Qi's approach to redirecting the topics that made him think of difficult memories and asking directly made a smile appear on the old wizard's face, but the answer made Ye Qi a little surprised.
"I said yes, because the purpose of my coming to you is because of the brain marrow of those inner-grabbing demons; I said no, because the person who needs it is not me!" The old wizard explained, saying, "It's a friend of mine. He did not come to participate in the Wizard City this time because of an imminent experiment; but if he knew that the inner-grabbing demons appeared here, he would probably cry regretfully at this moment?"
As he said that, the old wizard smiled slightly happily; it could be seen that the old wizard had a very good relationship with his friend, otherwise it would be impossible to tease the other party in such a tone; you should know that the relationship between the wizards is more rational than accompanying the witches. Apart from the fact that it has been a decades of friendship, it is difficult to speak in such a tone.
However, this made Ye Qi feel a little embarrassed. He undoubtedly needed a lot of things in the next wizard secret market; magic crystals, possible secret medicines or related raw materials, and these things are definitely not a problem with the help of the old wizard in front of him. Therefore, to establish a good relationship with the old wizard in front of him, it will be beneficial to Ye Qi at this moment.
However, he could not give up on the brain marrow of the Heart-Sharp Demon, before getting in the car, while the weak demon hunter was talking to the two young people, he had asked the monster wolf about the real use of the brain marrow of the Heart-Sharp Demon; and the answer he got was undoubtedly aroused by Ye Qi; using the brain marrow of the Heart-Sharp Demon to make magic props and equipment, which is the most basic and even very inferior choice, and the right way is to complete the development of the mind superpowers and increase self-perception secret medicine.
Moreover, according to the voice of the monster wolf, although the brain marrow of the heart-striking demon in his hand is not a mature body, its function also plays a certain role in his perception at this moment; therefore, he will not give up on the brain marrow of the heart-striking demon. Although Ye Qi understood that it would cost a considerable price to know the exact recipe, the transaction itself had room for trade-offs; as long as the monster wolf did not offer unacceptable conditions, he would consider the value, then measure the pros and cons, and find a balance point to complete the transaction.
"Although my friend doesn't seem very reliable, it's just an appearance. Whether it's human beings or abilities, it's worth believing! Especially in terms of rewards, as long as he can show what he wants, he is definitely very generous!" Seeing Ye Qi's embarrassment, the old wizard briefly introduced his friend, and then asked Ye Qi: "Do you have any other uses for the brain marrow of the inner-grabbing demon?"
"Yes, Master Weston! And please forgive me for not being able to explain it to you!"
Ye Qi nodded apologetically.
"So that's it! It seems that my old friend is really unlucky!" The old wizard sighed helplessly. However, he laughed again the next moment: "Fortunately, we also got a test tube full of the brain marrow of the heart-snatching demon. Although it has been handed over to Master Stein, with that guy's temper, I will definitely tangle Master Stein tightly. I have not seen such a scene for a long time!"
The smile on the old wizard's face gave a little more gloating only when it was bad friends. Ye Qi was not unfamiliar with such a smile, and there were many around him. Usually, a few people were always together and gloating at someone's jokes, but when outsiders bullied someone, these people always stood up at the first moment; there were many such people among the demon hunters themselves, and they were called bad friends; for example, the big and small ones among his partners, as soon as the former made a fool of themselves, the latter would immediately laugh, and once the former encountered trouble, the latter would stand up without hesitation.
As for the distribution of the mind-striving demon brain marrow?
According to the traditional distribution method, Ye Qi didn't mind; after all, he had already obtained the largest share without any effort, so what else can I complain about?
"If you need any help in the Wizard City, you can come to me!" After the laughter stopped briefly, the old wizard pointed to the corridor next to the banquet hall of the Norther family and said, "Before the end of the Wizard City, several masters and I will live there, and basically won't leave the room!"
“Thank you for your generosity!”
"This is just a handy one; at least, I really hope to help you a few things in my heart, and then you can give me the brain marrow of the Heart-Slayer!" The old wizard joked like this, then pointed to the empty food plate, stood up to Ye Qi and said goodbye. Obviously, the protagonist of the banquet tonight could not be him, and these team leaders must not be around him; the old wizard was able to take some time to negotiate with him, which was enough to show the old wizard's own kindness and the importance of the Heart-Slayer's brain marrow.
Looking at the old wizard who had just left the corner and was grouped together by everyone, Ye Qi understood this very much.
The Heart Flayer basically lives in a dark area, and there must be a channel connecting the dark area near the Wizard Castle!
Otherwise, the wizard named "Gelu" would not be bent over by the inner siege; however, the dark area is undoubtedly dangerous, so dangerous that even these wizards dare not step on their feet at will; and among the most dangerous creatures, there should be the inner siege tribe!
Therefore, the brain marrow of the heart-grabbing demon becomes precious. If, in addition, there may be a real usage of the brain marrow of the heart-grabbing demon in the wizard's hands, then everything will become natural!
Ye Qi was sitting in the corner tidying up his thoughts, and soon a very clear vein appeared in his mind. Although some of them were just guesses and could not make accurate judgments, based on the clues arranged and the news they received now, Ye Qi was sure to affirm his guesses, and even made some bold guesses.
If there is really a passage to the dark area near the Wizard Castle, then the endless dark creatures that are driven away in the sea forest seem to be able to get a reasonable explanation!
I just don’t know how much control the Wizard Castle has on Hailin?
Is it like the people in Qianzang District who are about Qianzang District?
Or is it like the Holy See?
If it is the former, it is proved that only a few passages to the dark area in the Hailin District are in the hands of the wizards, and most of them are in unknown areas; or places that wizards cannot control; and if it is the latter, then one or several passages to the dark area must be all in the hands of the wizards!
According to the current performance, Ye Qi's speculation is more inclined to the former by the Witch Hunter Headquarters for the exploration of the Hailin District; after all, if it is the latter, the wizards will not be able to show such great interest in a random heart-fighting demon, and the Witch Hunter Headquarters will not be able to encourage the Witch Hunter to explore the Hailin District; only the wizards have a small part of the Hailin District, with one or two passages to the dark area, but most of them are not under control, which seems very reasonable.
Otherwise, even if the inner siege is very powerful, it is impossible to get a good idea when facing a large group of wizards; it is possible to be exterminated; after all, the inner siege's spiritual powers do not work for existences like puppets at all; and as far as Ye Qi knows, although there are not many people who are good at using puppets among wizards, they are definitely not small; it is still possible to concentrate to destroy one or two inner siege communities in the form of tribes.
Once such a situation occurs, the value of the mind-snatching demon brain marrow will obviously not be valued like this; therefore, only the former is the most reasonable.
"What else do you think about?"
The big man walked to Ye Qi with a glass of ale, sat down and asked. Before, the two met each other as agents of the demon hunter branch of the Bay Area and the ordinary person who came to the Bay Area, and finally got to know each other. However, in order not to appear too abrupt, the big man still followed Ye Qi's instructions and greeted others before he came to him. Otherwise, a witch hunter he had just met would be valued by an agent branch president, which would only make more attention to Ye Qi.
And this is something Ye Qi absolutely does not want to see.
