Chapter 3: Shak's Breeze on
Under the deliberate pursuit of Ye Qi and his party, an hour after the sun set, they caught up with the previous demon hunter's convoy; Obviously, for Ye Qi and his party, many witchers already know what they have said - Ted, who has repaid, has not hidden everything he sees; And as good news, there is no need to hide such a thing, almost ten minutes after Ted returned to the convoy, the entire witcher convoy knew what happened to Jacob and his party.
For such a good thing, the witcher who was familiar with Jacob, after seeing Jacob and the others again, came up directly to congratulate him; And the familiar demon hunter was also in the distance, sitting on the roof of his car and raising the wine glass in his hand, showing goodwill shouts and laughter to Jacob and his party who had made a 'breakthrough'.
And there are also many delicate people who have found some differences; For example, why would Jacob and his party have such a good thing as a 'breakthrough' at the same time? Usually it is enough to surprise one person to have a 'breakthrough', but now all four of them have such a 'breakthrough' at once, which is no longer a surprise, and there is already a trend towards a miracle......
For miracles?
Everyone has expectations, including every witcher, but most of the time, the witcher looks for the reason for the miracle - almost instinctively, with the thought that many people's eyes fall on the figure that walks behind the most: the dragon of Shak!
Could it be that His Excellency the Dragon of Shak helped them?
Well, it must be like that. That's right!
The bottom of the hearts of many people present. After such a self-question. Looking at Ye Qi, who was smiling and greeting acquaintances, his eyes couldn't help but heat up slightly-a strong person can gain the respect that a strong person deserves; And those who are strong and can also point out others who are equally strong will be revered.
For the importance of strength, the witcher who walks on the edge is too clear!
Therefore, as long as it does not violate its own bottom line, it will gain stronger strength. will be fought over by the demon hunters - violating their own bottom line, gaining strength, for the demon hunters, it is comparable to suicide; Having tasted the taste of sadness and grief, they don't look like they're caught up in it because of the pursuit of strength; What's more, for them, there are many ways to pursue strength, so why violate their bottom line?
For example, asking for advice from Shak's Dragon in front of you is obviously within the bottom line; However, when I think of myself and the dragon of Shak, this is so famous. Known as the relationship between the strongest of the new generation of demon hunters, many heart-warming demon hunters couldn't help but hesitate.
And then. Looking at the people around them who had the same thoughts, everyone was a little embarrassed to get back into their cars or tents - perhaps in some ways the demon hunters showed their usual strong and stubborn style, but sometimes they showed embarrassment that only young people have; Of course, this is only for most witchers, like some naturally bold or thick-skinned ones, who are not among them; For example: Ted.
Ted, who has the title of 'Behemoth', grabbed Ye Qi's shoulders and pulled Ye Qi aside after Ye Qi walked into the camp - he has a very good relationship with Ye Qi, plus his natural bold personality, so Ted has no scruples about other demon hunters; As he walked, he asked, "What's going on?" ”
"What's going on?"
Ye Qi asked knowingly with a smile.
"Don't pretend to be stupid, Jacob and his party have all made breakthroughs to varying degrees at once, don't tell me, this has nothing to do with you!" Hammering Ye Qi's shoulder hard, Ted deliberately made a fierce appearance: "Tell me quickly, or I want you to look good!" ”
"Even if you want me to look good, I can't help you!"
Ye Qi restrained his smile and said very solemnly.
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that Ye Qi didn't look like a joke, Ted also put away his joking heart and became solemn
"Uncle Jacob and Felibe, they are different from you! They are still 'confused', so my words can show them their own way! Ye Qi said this, looked at Ted and explained: "Unlike you, you already have your own path, and you have already walked a considerable distance on it, as long as you take one step, you can reach a new level!" So, not only should you not seek guidance from others, but you should value your own thinking! ”
"Lord Hessel, I said the same thing, but I really don't know how to continue on the road!"
Hearing Ye Qi's explanation, Ted's face couldn't help but show a wry smile; But Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders helplessly - as he said, Ted has reached the point of being a new solar rank at this moment; Any too much pointing will make him even more confused; Moreover, Ted, who had clearly chosen his own path, was of no use to any other guidance; Unless Ted is willing to give up everything he has and choose a new path.
Just like the choice made by the Athletic Tower Master when facing the Legendary Realm, however, the difficulty is definitely beyond imagination, although it is not as difficult as the Athletic Tower Lord facing the Legendary Realm, but it will not be too far apart - after all, fundamentally speaking, Ted, who is at the peak of the Moonlight level and yearns for the Solar level, and the Athletic Tower Master who is at the peak of the Solar level and yearns for the Legendary Realm, the starting point of the two people is the same.
If they don't take that step, the two of them will always be in the fog, and they don't know what the next realm will be like!
Therefore, in the face of Ted's inquiry, Ye Qi would never dare to speak easily as a friend of the other party - any guidance is irresponsible for the other party at this time; After all, the other party and his path are fundamentally different, if it is the same, Ye Qi can still speculate and communicate with the other party.
That's right, it's communication!
Even if the two of them chose the same path, but Ye Qi [Cold Weapon Master 60] didn't enter the title of [Legend] for a day, he still couldn't control his path as much as a true Legend Realm powerhouse. And also found a derivative - not to mention. The road for two. There is also a fundamental difference.
"If you don't know how to continue walking, it proves that you are only one step away from your goal; Take that step, and you'll see a whole new world; And I believe that day will not be too far away! Looking at Ted, who was smiling bitterly, Ye Qi patted him on the shoulder and comforted.
"I hope so!"
Ted, who had been at this level for a year, had already been mentally prepared enough; Therefore, even in the face of Ye Qi's emptiness here, there is a joy. He only sighed in his heart and returned to normal; patted Ye Qi on the shoulder again and said, "Let's go!" Breakthroughs are a must, and so is eating! Beef broth and bread, very nice pairing! ”
"It would be perfect if you could add some potatoes and turnips!"
Ye Qi followed behind Ted and walked towards the several bonfires in the middle of the convoy, far away, and the smell wafted from the iron pot on the campfire. It's already mouth-watering.
"It's coming, it's half a day's journey. We'll be able to get into the more populated areas! When the time comes, all kinds of supplies can be replenished to the maximum! As he spoke, Ted handed a cast iron lunch box to Ye Qi, and the two stood together behind the queue to receive the meal - although at this time, as Ye Qi, he could get the privilege of 'delivering dinner to his hand', but after seeing that the Athletic Tower Masters were all in the team, he also chose to do the same, and Ted standing next to him would not make such a queue seem too boring.
While chatting with Ted and smiling and greeting the witchers around him, Ye Qi quickly noticed some of the differences—some of the witchers who already had their own dinner, or who had finished their dinner, did not disperse to rest or sit together and chat, but scattered around him, glancing at him from time to time, and then bowing his head sharply the moment he turned around; He looked hesitant and didn't know how to move forward or retreat.
"It seems that I am not the only one who wants to seek the Tao of Knowledge?" As for the surrounding situation, Ted also discovered it later; Immediately, he smiled: "Ye, in the next few days, some of you are busy!" ”
In this regard, Ye Qi shrugged helplessly - after helping Jacob and his party, he had already made some preparations for such a situation; It's just that the result was a little unexpected for him; At the very least, the number he estimated was only half of what it is now, and a little less.
And in the next few days, as Ted said, Ye Qi was really busy - at breakfast before the departure the next day, after the first witcher asked Ye Qi for advice but was not refused, the remaining witchers seemed to have a domino effect, and swarmed towards Ye Qi; As long as Ye Qi has time, he will be surrounded by witchers who ask for advice on various issues.
And as time passed, getting closer and closer to Shak, this trend did not stop in the slightest, but intensified - obviously, all the witchers in the convoy regarded this journey as a deadline to be consulted; This was not announced by Ye Qi, but a deadline set by the witchers spontaneously.
Not disturbing other people's lives is a rule that witchers abide by, even between witchers and witchers, most of the time they will abide by this rule; Therefore, in their opinion, Ye Qi was able to spare a week to answer their questions, and he was already helping them in his own time, which made them very grateful, and they also knew that such a thing could not continue to develop like this forever - after all, even the dragon of Shak had his own life; At the very least, the Shake Fist, who had been following the Shak Dragon for the past few days, had begun to wave his fist at the demon hunters who came to seek guidance from time to time.
And this reminds the many witchers of the preciousness of the opportunity and the urgency of time - so, in the days that followed, the witchers who had their own answers helped their friends who were asking, temporarily blocking the fist of Shak's fist; Those who did not inquire quickly joined the team of inquiries, and with the limit of one person at a time, they asked about their confusion in cultivation, hand-to-hand skills, or weapon use skills.
Compared to Jacob and his party, the strength of these witchers is uneven, a little higher than Ted, and a little worse is just a formal starlight; And the questions asked, albeit in relation to strength. But it's also bizarre. If it weren't for [hand-to-hand combat], [gunpowder weapons] had reached the mastery level. And with the master-level [Cold Weapon] as a comparison, I'm afraid that many questions will stump Ye Qi.
However, such a crazy 'skill quiz' for several days in a row is also of some help to Ye Qi, at the very least, his proficient level [Gunpowder Weapon] and [Hand-to-hand Combat] have increased by 2 and 3 levels respectively, which is also a special comfort for Ye Qi, who is busy answering every day; Even, his sometimes fantasical [Cold Weapon] has been upgraded like this-but. Fantasy is fantasy, and the master-level [gunpowder weapon] [hand-to-hand combat] and the master-level [cold weapon] are undoubtedly worlds apart; Unless the people communicating with him are some of the peak of the Solar level who have chosen the 'Warrior Path' and are using cold weapons, it is simply impossible to rely on such exchanges to improve the [Cold Weapons] of the master level.
Of course, with this kind of 'skill quiz', Ye Qi himself has also gained more respect, as well as some additional titles, such as: 'weapon master', 'skill master', 'polymato', etc.—for this, Ye Qi naturally understands what is going on; It is completely supported by [Cold Weapons] [Gunpowder Weapons] that do not have weapon categories. And the 'illusions' that appeared, though he was in fact able to be proficient with other weapons. And exert the power of the corresponding level, but in fact, what he is really good at, and what adapts to his own path is still the Enma Sword.
At noon on the seventh day, none of the witchers had gathered around Ye Qi anymore - Shak was already close at hand
Feeling the fresh breeze full of herbs, crisp and tender aroma, and finally no one came to inquire about the situation, Ye Qi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he sat in the chair with his whole body, his body buried deep in the thick back of the chair, and the relaxed feeling made Ye Qi can't help but squint his eyes slightly.
Of course, if there were not so many horns, Ye Qi would be a little more satisfied-Xia Ke, who is like spring all year round, is comfortable and desirable for anyone; Especially under the careful management of the Witcher's headquarters, Shak, which is famous for its various ancient buildings, ancient style, and culture, is a tourist attraction that the whole of Lorante yearns for.
Since the morning, Ye Qi and his party have encountered no less than five waves of convoys similar to theirs, of course, the number is much smaller than theirs; As it approached noon, there were more and more such convoys, and even some sections of the road showed signs of congestion.
Although, the police and traffic police of the local top government have appeared on the highway and are sweating and directing the traffic; However, the situation did not get much better, on the contrary, as time passed, the closer to Shak, the more congested it became-
"How can there be so many cars and people?"
A series of horns made Ye Qi open his eyes helplessly, looking out the window, the feeling of being integrated into the sea of cars, made him slightly stunned - not only on the highway, but even the green belt on both sides of the highway was full of cars, dense, just like ants moving.
"You can't really forget, do you? Next week's weekend, but the second week of May! ”
Compared to Ye Qi's puzzlement, all the people in the car looked like they knew it well, even Shak's Fist was no exception.
"Second week of May?? Midsummer! ”
After being reminded by Jacob on the side, Ye Qi reacted immediately, and immediately sighed in his heart-no wonder so, it turned out that the Midsummer Festival had arrived.
Midsummer, also known as Midsummer Night or Long Night; It's a festival full of celebrations, music, and love.
In some of the former kingdoms of Lorante, this festival is a day of courtship between young boys and girls - unmarried girls are allowed to roam freely, hiding in the woods all night, waiting for their favorite suitors to "hunt"; Capture your own love and family.
After the Holy Age, such behavior was considered by the Holy See to be full of 'blasphemy' and was forbidden for a time, and it was not until the Age of Freedom, with the 'return' of the Holy See to the Holy Forest, that such a festival appeared again, and was expected by the vast majority of boys and girls - of course, the 'civilization' of the Age of Freedom, the original ' The hunting has changed a little, and what the boys need is no longer vigorous skills and excellent martial arts, but a neat and proper coat, a bouquet of roses, and a sincere heart.
Compared with other places, Shak's Midsummer Festival is even more talked about; After all, what else is more fascinating to the romantic men and women and the successful people who want to be performed on the stage more by the music festival of the Daslick Theater, which is said to be Lorante's most artistic and the most wanted to be performed on stage?
In particular, Shak's 'parade' during the festival is considered by people all over Lorante to be the real 'history'.
The last time I spent Midsummer with Elsie was four years ago, when I was still an apprentice apostle......
Looking at the crowded crowd outside the window, Ye Qi's heart couldn't help but start 'flying'.
