Ted, Jacob's whole relic excavation team, Holly Byron and his wife, Giffen De, and ailly mam, who was following his daughter, as well as many young demon hunters led by Randy De, a blonde demon hunter, including the sons of holly Byron and his descendants - obviously, So many people appeared almost in no order, with an agreed time in advance.
Of course, what surprised Yeqi most was that nofa also followed the crowd and appeared at the door of the hall - although the other party's face was still cold, the impatience flashed from the bottom of his eyes made Yeqi understand that if it was from his own intention, the cold faced man would never participate in such a banquet incompatible with his character.
When he was an apprentice, he didn't get along with each other for a short time, which made Yeqi very understand that people with cold character like nofa like to stay in their own room, read books, or directly devote themselves to their work; As for going to parties and parties?
It was almost impossible. Anyone who saw his cold face would swallow the invitation back into his stomach.
It should be the assignment of the tower master of wisdom!
The obvious answer appeared at the bottom of Yeqi's heart - Yeqi could not think of anyone who could change the cold faced man's mind except the tower master of wisdom and nofa's own teacher.
"Good morning, uncle Jacob!"
Yeqi walked up to Jacob and his party and greeted them with a smile.
"It's already morning! However, it's still morning for us who just woke up! So, ye, good morning!" in Ye Qi's greetings, Jacob couldn't help smiling and joking in his unique hoarse voice - anyone who can go back to his hometown and see his long lost relatives will get a good mood; Not to mention, under such a premise, we should immediately attend a party that belongs to us and can be relaxed.
Look, as soon as we entered the hall, we began to cheer loudly, and feribe, who almost jumped to the table to dance, could understand the mood of the people at this moment - many demon hunters who took off the Apostle's windbreaker and were completely just plain clothes, obviously looked forward to the banquet.
After ye Qi raised his glass to many familiar demon hunters, Jacob also greeted them and pointed to Ye Qi to the chair in the corner——
"Uncle Jacob, what can I do for you?"
When he came to the corner, Yeqi, who had just sat down, asked - obviously, Jacob could not choose such a quiet place if there was nothing to do.
"It's about Elsie!" nodded and Jacob said without concealment: "I saw Elsie at the post this morning and discussed some things with her..."
Speaking of this, Yeqi keenly saw the helplessness and bitterness on Jacob's face. He couldn't help asking, "what did you discuss with Elsie?"
"I want to retire Alice from the Rangers!"
"Retired from Rangers?!"
Ye Qi couldn't help shouting, and then suddenly understood what happened to Jacob's helplessness and bitterness - the female cavalry commander naturally respected her elders, but she was also firm in her choice of Knight's road; Moreover, with Yeqi's understanding of his lover, once his stubborn temper comes up, its stubbornness is comparable to that of rock.
Therefore, in the face of anything, Yeqi will patiently explain the meaning to the female cavalry commander, and then seek each other's understanding; Instead of coming up with a straight "tell" tone to explain - although I don't know what the situation was at that time, looking at Jacob's helplessness and bitterness, I understand that the elder suffered a considerable setback from the female cavalry commander.
"I'm afraid it's quite difficult for Elsie!" Yeqi comforted each other with words in the face of her frustrated elders - he sighed and said slowly: "After all, for Elsie, her life in the Ranger is almost everything in her memory; she was born, grew up, became a Ranger and served as a captain there, and we also met and knew each other in the Ranger camp..."
"Yes, I know all this!" Jacob nodded, but the helplessness in his face did not subside; he couldn't help sighing: "I really regret why I left Elsie in the Ranger camp at that time. I should have brought her up by my side!"
"Uncle Jacob, why did you let Elsie retire from the Rangers? In my opinion, Elsie did a very good job and is a competent Ranger captain; not only in ability, but also everyone around likes and loves Elsie very much!" Ye Qi asked his doubts - what ye Qi said was completely from an objective point of view, without any subjective bias due to the relationship between the two; in fact, the female cavalry commander did better than ye Qi said; although there was no shortage of women in the Rangers, there was only one female cavalry commander who played the role of camp captain.
If it were not for her outstanding ability, even because of Yeqi's influence and relationship, the female cavalry commander could not have held such an important position all the time - the Ranger camp pursuing the knight system has a competition system every year, from various basic training to the last horse station, and the gun shooting added 30 years ago In the test, if the result of being a captain is not as good as that of an ordinary Ranger, there will naturally be rumors.
However, in these competitions, the female cavalry commander showed her strength to the world with most of the results at the top of the list; Not only her Ranger camp, but also the remaining seven Ranger camps are the same - at the beginning, the female ranger was the first in the competition of eight Ranger captains.
The strength is strong and the ability is outstanding. Even women, the female cavalry commander still has a recognized position.
"These are the facts. As a fairly qualified adoptive father, I still know the honor of my adopted daughter! But, but..." Jacob smiled with heartfelt satisfaction at what the female cavalry commander had obtained; However, this happy smile was only maintained for a moment and was replaced by helplessness; After opening his mouth several times, Jacob suddenly whispered to Yeqi, "do you know some recent transfers in the headquarters?"
"Transfer?" Ye Qi was stunned.
"Well, some of them can only be mobilized in case of war!" Jacob said his findings to Yeqi: "as a native of shack, I know many people working in the headquarters; especially several tower guards are my friends; however, this time, some of them have been sent to other places..."
"This kind of transfer happened 20 years ago, but it happened suddenly and rapidly. I didn't react to the meaning of these representatives until the war came! In that war, my friends died one after another, and Elsie's father died in the war, leaving only Elsie in her infancy and me seriously injured 。”
Speaking of the sudden war, Jacob's face was full of sadness when he recalled the death of his good friend. He directly picked up a bottle of rum, opened the cork, poured a few mouthfuls, and then continued to say, "do you see this scar?"
Jacob opened his collar, which was always up, and revealed the scar that had been covered by him - it was a three inch long scar above his neck and almost connected to his jaw. The wound was rugged, like a centipede lying on his neck; Jacob held out his finger to the wound and said, "at the most critical moment, I dodged, only hurt the vocal cord; but I know it's just luck; and an ethereal thing like luck can't always accompany you! So I want elses to leave the Rangers!"
"Uncle Jacob, you are worried that Elsie will be in danger on the battlefield, so you want Elsie to retire?"
"Yes!"
Jacob nodded, then silently picked up the bottle and took another sip.
I see
Ye Qi, who was sitting on the side, looked at Jacob drinking silently and was suddenly surprised - he suddenly knew why Jacob persuaded the female cavalry commander to retire; To his surprise, Jacob was able to guess the "preparatory action" of the demon hunter headquarters just by virtue of a few personnel transfers.
The last time I went to qianmao district to look for a witch, I accidentally discovered the Holy See's collection of belief items. After the strange wolf informed the Holy See of the possible plan, ye Qi reported all the things that could be said to the demon hunter headquarters in his own tone - facing Ye Qi's Report, the demon hunter headquarters would not be indifferent; Immediately, they sent corresponding personnel to investigate, and after obtaining the "positive results", they started the corresponding "preparatory action" plan.
During the meeting with the master of the sacred tower in Qianzhao District, the other party also asked him about the situation at that time in detail, and told him about the corresponding actions of the demon hunter headquarters; Therefore, ye Qi knows the whole story clearly; But Yeqi didn't expect that Jacob could find a trace - the action of the demon hunter headquarters is naturally strict, and there is no news leakage at all. Therefore, Yeqi can be sure that everything Jacob knows is completely guessed by himself according to the changes.
Such a guess is enough to prove that his lover's adoptive father is excellent in some aspects - of course, Jacob's guess is also different. At least, he didn't guess the details of the plan, but it's enough to surprise ye; After all, Yeqi thinks he can't be like Jacob. Just by virtue of some personnel transfers, he can guess that the demon hunter headquarters will have such a "war preparedness plan".
"It's nothing to be surprised! After all, I'm so familiar with everything here for me who was born and raised in shack, especially what my friends are responsible for!" Jacob looked at Ye Qi with surprise and waved his hand. Although he smiled, there was no change in the sad look in his eyes, The hoarse voice became more and more deep: "it is because of this understanding that I am more worried! If Elsie is not retired from the Rangers before the war breaks out, Elsie will be the first to ask to go to the battlefield once the war breaks out!"
"So, ye, replace me and persuade Elsie again!"
With that, Jacob looked at Yeqi with hope, and Yeqi just frowned and nodded hard - with Yeqi's understanding of the female cavalry commander, he fully believed that everything Jacob said was true; Once a power war breaks out, the female cavalry commander must be a group of people who want to go to the front line; Although there is still a long time to go before this war, Yeqi can not guarantee that there will be no special situations during this period.
Originally in mutual respect, Yeqi did not interfere too much with the every move of the female cavalry commander, just as the other party did the same; But in Jacob's request, Yeqi wavered at the bottom of his heart, and his "selfish" side immediately occupied the absolute upper hand——
Perhaps Alice should be given a safer position
Unlike Jacob's idea of asking the female cavalry commander to leave the Rangers, Yeqi knew that it was impossible for the female cavalry commander to retire and leave; Only when the female cavalry commander is still a Ranger, but takes up a job that is not dangerous.
You should ask Lord Hessel or Lord blank for help
Ye Qi didn't know much about the post system of the demon hunter headquarters except the head of the six towers at the top; Not to mention that compared with Jacob who can count all the existence of shack, even compared with some people who have stayed in shack for a long time - however, even in the face of professional things, you should find experts. Yeqi remembers this very clearly.
"I'll try to persuade Elsie! Just, Elsie..."
"Don't worry, just try your best!" Jacob smiled in the face of Yeqi's reply, and then stood up again: "the banquet is about to begin. Let's have a good drink first, and then solve the problem!"
Watching Jacob leave the corner and join the growing crowd in the hall, Yeqi leaned back and leaned his back completely in the chair, thinking about Jacob's "keen discovery" -- as a demon hunter, Yeqi naturally wouldn't worry that Jacob would talk about it everywhere; Just, what Jacob can find, can't others find?
Perhaps Jacob's discovery is based on many corresponding coincidences, but the probability of these coincidences is not very low, or even very easy - shack was born, knew everything about shack, and knew the tower protectors who were responsible for all this; Except for the last point, there are a large number of candidates who can meet the other two points in Yeqi's view.
The demon hunter headquarters should be on guard!
Although Ye Qi has this idea in his heart, he knows that he should still talk in detail with the tower master of the moon night again - as ye Qi's habit of caution, he has already made him know what kind of practice is the most correct; Perhaps, sometimes it seems to some people that it is unnecessary, but such unnecessary is always better than the final failure.
Ding Ding
Several times in succession, the crisp sound of the soup spoon beating the glass echoed in the hall. Although it was crisp, it was grand and continuous; Therefore, just a moment later, the originally chaotic banquet hall quieted down and looked at the sound position - in the middle of the hall, the barbecue rack and soup pot were staggered. A little later, the tower master of the moon night and the tower master of the holy thing were standing side by side, and the latter still had a wine glass and a small spoon in his hand.
Obviously, these two little things can make a sound as loud as a bell and a big Lv. Except for the strong man in the legendary realm, it is very difficult for others to do it - feeling the eyes of the people, the master of the sacred tower directly threw his spoon and wine cup on the table aside, picked up the wine bucket at his feet, and then ran straight into the crowd to catch the eyes of the people, Completely left on the tower master of the moon night.
As the leader of the moon night tower, Hessel has long been used to his good friend's behavior; He looked at the crowd, and several dodged to his friends in the corner where the wine barrel was placed. After smiling helplessly, he turned and looked at all the demon hunters present, and said slowly——
"Your journey is not over. At this time, it's just a moment's rest!"
"After all, only sufficient rest can make everyone's footsteps more powerful and go further!"
"However, some of our friends, in this long journey, gradually moved away and reached the edge of the starry sky!"
"Here, let's see them off!"
The tower master of the moon night picked up the wine glass and lifted it up as if facing the sky, and all the demon hunters around him did the same; There is no exception, including Yeqi and the owner of the sacred tower.
"Have a nice trip!"
"We will never forget their figures, and their memories will always be in our hearts; we will move forward instead of them!"
After a blessing, the tower master of the moon night drank the wine in the glass.
"We will move forward instead of them!"
In the hall, all the demon hunters said together when they drank the wine in the glass.
"Whether it's sadness or laughter, we will move forward bravely!"
"Finally, everyone, drink home!"
The tower owner of the moon night put down his glass and said slowly, ending his opening speech before the banquet.
