Bracada, Silver Snow City, Hora Treasure Workshop.
After a night of conspiring, the Seven Pigeons and Master Hora Philomena finally reached an agreement.
Hola sat elegantly at the head of the bed, calmly holding a magic cigarette and smoking it intermittently.
Qi Ge stood in front of the bed and tidied up her messy clothes.
"Sister Huo La, I'll leave Silver Snow City to you."
Hola drew circles on Qi Ge's chest with her fingers in a very ambiguous manner.
"No problem, I'll be watching, don't worry."
Qi Ge asked persistently, "Sister Hola, was it really not you who sent the gargoyle who tipped off the Church of Fortune?"
"It's really not me. How could I be so capable as to figure out the location of the reinforcements from the Church of Fortune?
I just sent some support teams with some support supplies.
However, before the support team arrived, His Majesty Erni was rescued.
If you hadn't told me, I still wouldn't have known that His Majesty Erni was rescued by Pope Hof."
Qi Ge felt that Master Hora Philomena had indeed not lied to him.
It seems that there was someone else who released the gargoyle to tip off the enemy.
Who could it be?
Just as Qi Ge was lost in thought, Hora Philomena hugged Qi Ge's shoulders from behind.
"Qi Ge, you still don't want to leave? Then how about..."
Seven Pigeons: ...
"Sister Hola, I have to go to Thunder City in the afternoon."
"There's still noon left."
"There's only one noon left!"
"Then give me half of it to try."
"No! No! Da-me-oh, Da-me-da-me!"
…
…
Qi Ge ran out of the Hola Treasure Making Workshop panting, still feeling a lingering fear.
“Metals fatigue, elements don’t.
When playing games with elemental creatures that never get tired, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle.
Next time, I'd better not meet with Master Hora alone as much as possible, otherwise it's easy to overdraw your energy."
Qi Ge found a secluded tavern and sorted out the gains of the past two days.
After handing Laura over to Her Majesty Rem, he rushed to Silver Snow City without stopping.
Silver Snow City is the main city that the [Fairy Vanguard] will develop next.
Qi Ge needs to find a suitable backer for the development of the [Fairy Pioneer Team].
Originally, the most suitable backer for Silver Snow City must be Agaide.
But at the moment, Agaide needs to stay in Thunder City for a long time, which is beyond his reach.
Master Hora Philomina, who also holds great influence in Silver Snow City and has a good relationship with the Seven Pigeons, becomes the best replacement.
If they can successfully defeat Master Hora, the development of Wolfs' Goblin Tavern will be much easier.
Next, Qi Ge can go to Thunder City with peace of mind.
On the way out of Silver Snow City, Qi Ge passed by the military supply department of Silver Snow City.
Walking here, Qi Ge couldn't help but think of the fat quartermaster who had sold him the fairy equipment before.
"Tsk. With the criminal ability of the quartermaster, I think he has already bought a single-family villa in the prison of Silver Snow City.
Maybe there will be a group of strong prison guards to serve him."
Thinking of the fat quartermaster, Qi Ge couldn't help but feel the urge to go and take a look at him.
In case the fat quartermaster is really imprisoned, I can still help.
It is such a pity that such a kind brother, with whom I had formed an unbreakable friendship, passed away just like that.
At least we have to rely on Teacher Aged's influence to promote him to an important position in Yinxue City.
For Qi Ge, the more talents like the Fat Quartermaster there are in Bracada, the better, and the higher their positions, the better!
Qi Ge arrived at the quartermaster's guard post.
The wizard on duty who was in charge of guarding the gate was dozing off in the sentry room, and only three big goblins were patrolling back and forth at the gate.
“Bang, bang.”
Qi Ge knocked on the glass of the sentry room, making a loud sound.
"Sir, I'm not sleeping."
The gatekeeper mage who was awakened was startled at first, and quickly sat up straight.
When he saw Qi Ge's clothes clearly, he immediately frowned and shouted angrily:
"Who are you? What are you doing here? This is a military stronghold. Don't you know that you can't approach here casually?"
"Brother, I want to ask you about someone, Charlie the Fat Quartermaster from the Quartermaster Department. Do you have any news about him?"
The gate mage looked Qi Ge up and down and asked cautiously:
"Why are you asking about him?"
Qi Ge smiled and said, “Sir, I am a relative of Charlie Fat Quartermaster, and I came here specifically to deliver something to him.
Look, this is my kinship certificate."
Qi Ge took out a crumpled little bag and deliberately smashed it on the glass.
“Ding~”
The crisp sound of gold coins colliding against the glass startled the gatekeeper.
He still tried hard to put on airs, but a person's longing eyes could not be hidden.
"What kind of kinship certificate? Bring it in so I can see it."
The gatekeeper wizard opened a small glass window.
"Okay."
Qi Ge nodded and bowed, handing over the bag.
The gatekeeper wizard first felt the shape of the cloth bag, then carefully opened the bag and took a peek inside.
"hiss."
He took a deep breath and closed the bag.
Then, the gatekeeper's face fell.
"What kind of proof of kinship? That's nonsense!
This is clearly your pass.
Brother, why didn’t you take out your pass earlier? What if there is a misunderstanding?
Look, I almost was not polite to you."
Qi Ge quickly laughed and said, "Hey, I'm not afraid of causing you trouble."
"It's no trouble at all. We are all brothers."
The gatekeeper wizard flicked his hand and pushed Qi Ge's pass under the table.
“Charlie Fat Chief he’s not here anymore.
A while ago, he was promoted to the chief of the Quartermaster Department. If you want to find him, go to the Castle Lord's Castle."
"Ha! It went up?!"
Qi Ge stood there in a daze.
"Yes." The gatekeeper mage sighed with emotion.
"Charlie the Fat Chief has connections with everyone, and he has a close relationship with the Deputy City Lord, so he will naturally rise to a higher position.
During this period of time here, apart from His Majesty Aged's legendary promotion, the most sensational one was the promotion of Fat Officer Charlie.
I knew from the beginning that Fat Captain Charlie was a beautiful woman of inestimable value, and I was right.
He is now the director of the Quartermaster Department. In a few years, he may be able to move up to a higher position.
Brother, you are also going to give a gift to Fat Chief Charlie, right?
Your pass is fine with me, but it's a bit shabby for Fat Charlie."
The mage guard raised an eyebrow at Qi Ge:
"The commander needs at least a hundred of them."
Seven Pigeons: ...
It’s not like I haven’t seen Charlie Fatty in my previous life!
He has connections everywhere?
He and the deputy city lord are close friends?
What the hell is this?!
In the third year of his previous life, he was still working as a bricklayer in the Quartermaster Department of Silver Snow City.
Um?
Qi Ge suddenly realized something.
I had bought a bunch of fairy equipment from Charlie Fatty before and gave him some gold coins.
Hiss~
Could it be that Charlie Fat used these gold coins to buy himself an official position?
With just this amount of gold coins, could he buy the director of the Quartermaster Department?
The seven pigeons clapped their hands in excitement.
Charlie Fat Brother, you are so cruel. Talented!
How can a golden scale stay in a pond? Once it meets seven pigeons, it will turn into a dragon.
The deputy city lord of Silver Snow City even dared to promote such an outstanding talent as Charlie Fei to be the director of the Quartermaster Department, which shows how corrupt Silver Snow City is.
A glimpse of the whole picture.
The bureaucracy is the cornerstone of society.
Officials are appointed based on their wealth, not their talent.
This shows that Bracada, which was once prosperous, has begun to rot from the root.
How could the Seven Pigeons not be delighted by this?
Qi Ge made a prompt decision, removed his disguise, took Aged's token, and ran all the way to the Lord's Castle of Silver Snow City.
The status of Argead's token in Silver Snow City is now almost supreme!
The seven pigeons holding the Aged token entered the city lord's castle unimpeded and came to the fat quartermaster's office easily.
"Sir, this way please! Fat Director Charlie is in his office. I'll knock on the door for you."
A wizard walked in front of Qi Ge with a nod and a bow, and gently knocked on the ornate door of Charlie Fatty's office.
“Director Fei, Mr. Jishiyu, the legendary steward of Agaide, wants to see you.
Qi Ge heard a woman's scream suddenly coming from inside the door, followed by a series of clanging sounds.
After a long while, until the fake smile on the leading wizard's face became a little stiff, the fat quartermaster's loud voice was heard from inside.
"Quick, please come in!"
The wizard who had been leading the way, who had been embarrassed for a long time, suddenly felt relieved. He quickly opened the door and raised his hand repeatedly to Qi Ge.
"Master Jishiyu, please come in."
…
…
Qi Ge walked into Charlie Fatty's room with an indifferent look on his face.
In the fat quartermaster's room, besides himself, there was also a Medusa.
Medusa was holding a broom and pretending to sweep the floor.
Of course, her visit to Fat Charlie's office was definitely not just to sweep the floor.
Who would wear a tight, revealing maid outfit while sweeping the floor?
Tsk, there’s a heart-shaped one missing. It’s not that big, but it still managed to squeeze out of the canyon.
When the fat quartermaster saw Qi Ge, he was stunned at first, then he immediately stood up and walked towards Qi Ge with great enthusiasm.
"Ouch! Ouch!
It’s you, brother!!”
He held Qi Ge's hand and smiled brightly.
His chubby face squeezed his eyes into slits.
"Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much!"
Qige immediately adjusted his attitude and responded with the same enthusiasm:
"Haha, I'm busy helping Al-Gaid Legend. I don't have time to come and chat with you guys.
Look at me, I didn’t even know you got a promotion, buddy.
I haven't had time to congratulate you yet, buddy."
When Charlie Fatty heard the word "brother", he laughed even more happily, and he quickly responded:
"Hey, what's the matter, brother.
My little achievement means nothing in front of you, brother.
After Master Agaide was promoted to Legend, you, my brother, have risen to prominence. "
The last time they met, Qi Ge called the fat quartermaster "brother" and the fat quartermaster called Qi Ge "buddy", but now the situation is suddenly reversed.
But the two of them chatted very naturally, without any discomfort at all.
The fat quartermaster pulled Qi Ge and invited him to sit on the sofa.
“Brother, come and sit over here, you’re tired of standing.
Xiaolin, go and order some wine."
"oh oh."
The fat quartermaster winked at the maid Medusa, who quickly put down the broom, and with her snake tail wriggling, she crawled out of the room.
Only after the maid Medusa closed the door did the fat quartermaster start talking about the main topic.
"Brother, what arrangements do you have for me this time?"
People who come from the lower class tend to speak more directly.
If it were Escher, he would have to go around in circles for a long time.
Qi Ge glanced at the fat quartermaster and said with a smile:
"No plans, I just came to see you and keep in touch with you."
When the fat quartermaster heard Qi Ge's words, he raised his head and blinked his small green eyes several times, looking a little surprised.
Qi Ge chuckled and continued:
“Recently, I followed the legend of Agaide to Thunder City and saw a lot of the world.
There may not be many opportunities to come back in the future.
But I am from Yinxue City after all, and I can’t bear to leave this place.
I am, after all, a nostalgic person."
Hearing this, the fat quartermaster suddenly had an idea and said in a low voice:
"Brother, do you have a few sisters-in-law that you can't take with you? Do you want me to help protect them?"
Seven Pigeons: ...
Tsk!
It seems that I can't talk too deeply with this guy.
Qi Ge's face turned serious and he said:
“Nothing.
The legend of Aged has always been clean and never involved in women.
As the steward of the Aged Legend, I follow the example of my superiors and subordinates.
When I say nostalgia, I mean you."
"Are you talking about me?!" The fat quartermaster was stunned and took a breath of cold air!
"Hiss!! Bro, you want me even with my looks?! Do you like fat ones?
Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I have hemorrhoids, and once I go in, it will bleed!”
Qi Ge: ???
"Fuck you! How can I still like you when you're like this?!
What I mean is that I don’t have any confidants in Silver Snow City, and I will be worried after leaving.”
“Ohhhh!”
The fat quartermaster suddenly realized.
He suddenly became clever and said confidently:
"Brother, I am your confidant.
Brother, please wait a moment."
The fat quartermaster suddenly ran under his desk and fiddled with it for a long time.
"What is this for?"
Just when Qi Ge was puzzled, the fat quartermaster came out carrying a large cloth bag.
He placed the cloth bag in front of the seven pigeons and opened it gently. A small brown bag was placed on a pile of shining gold coins.
The fat quartermaster said seriously:
"Brother, I'm not playing tricks with you, I'm telling you the truth.
You gave me 1,000 gold coins at the beginning. With these 1,000 gold coins, I bought a fox girl who turned into a human at a bargain price in the slave market.
I gave the fox girl to the deputy city lord, which led to my current position.
No matter what I say.
I can be successful today, all thanks to your help, brother.
Brother, I will never forget the kindness you have shown me.
You see, I still have the bag that you used to hold the gold coins in.
This is 10,000 gold coins, my way of repaying your kindness.
If you need my help in the future, please let me know."
[System prompt: Charlie Fatty gave you 10,000 gold coins.]
[System prompt: Charlie Fatty's favorability towards you +50, currently 70 (respect)]
Tsk tsk tsk.
Qi Ge looked at the fat quartermaster with appreciation.
Who says there are no talents at the bottom? Many people just lack an opportunity.
Qi Ge stretched out his hand and waved, signaling the fat quartermaster to lean his head over.
He whispered in the fat quartermaster's ear:
“Dude, in a while, a chain of taverns called the Goblin Tavern will open in Silver Snow City.
Let me tell you a secret, all the [Fairy Taverns] are the legendary property of Argeid.
The employees in [Fairy Tavern] are basically all fairies, and they can eat any amount of fairy equipment.
Can you understand?"
"clear!"
The fat quartermaster shuddered and said quickly:
"Thank you for your support, brother!"
Qi Ge patted the fat quartermaster on the shoulder and put the gold coins on the table into his space backpack.
The fat quartermaster asked cautiously:
"Brother, those scraps you bought from me..."
"Smart, it's for preparing the goblin tavern."
Qi Ge placed a disposable voice-transmitting conch shell in the fat quartermaster 's hand and whispered:
“You take this.
Don’t use it indiscriminately in normal times. Wait until you encounter something that you can’t solve yourself, then use it to contact me.
Maybe at a critical moment, it can save your life."
Charlie Fatty was overjoyed, he raised his head high, and even the wrinkles on his neck were completely relaxed.
"I understand, brother, I totally understand!"
…
…
Qi Ge dealt with all the matters in Yinxue City and teleported from the teleportation array in Yinxue City to the teleportation point near Leiting City.
He twisted his neck and looked in the direction of Thunder City.
Thick dark clouds still covered the sky above Thunder City, and from time to time one or two bright flashes of lightning would streak across the sky.
"It covers over 300 miles, blocking out the sun and the sky.
I can’t imagine that such a scenery is actually formed by the energy leaking out of the Titan Kingdom.
The power of the true God is indeed as terrifying as the mighty power of heaven, and it is breathtaking.
But you, who are so high and mighty, how can you see clearly?
Your dam, already riddled with holes eaten by ants, is only left to be dealt the final blow by the accumulated flood.
A single spark can start a prairie fire. Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
Thunder City, I, Xingfeng, am here again."
Qi Ge entered Thunder City with familiarity.
Qi Ge walked on the street, took out his ID card, and read softly:
"Ta Ling."
"Ding, Your Highness Xingfeng, Tower Spirit Fantasy No. 3 is at your service."
"Please help me contact the Legend of Argaid and tell him that I have arrived in Thunder City. Please also ask me where I should go to meet him."
"Ding, the tower spirit dream has been conveyed to you."
Just as Qi Ge was about to put down his ID card, the tower spirit on the ID card sent a signal.
"Your Highness Xingfeng, your teacher, His Majesty Argaide, has learned of your arrival and is coming to greet you.
Please do not move at will to avoid positioning errors. "
"Huh? The teacher is coming?" Qi Ge was stunned.
Why is there a teacher who comes here specifically to pick up students?
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Just when Qi Ge was puzzled, a magic carpet suddenly appeared in the sky not far away.
"Star Wind!"
Aged sat on the magic carpet and waved enthusiastically to the seven pigeons.
Qi Ge hurriedly greeted:
"Ah, teacher, you're here so soon!"
Aged rode the magic carpet and stopped beside Qi Ge, and said cheerfully: "Aren't you afraid that you will get anxious waiting?
Ever since you sent me a message telling me that you would come to Thunder City this afternoon, I have been waiting near the city gate.
Let's go, get on the magic carpet.
Let's leave Thunder City first. Teacher, I have something important to tell you."
Aged looked around.
Qi Ge immediately understood that it might not be very convenient to talk in the city.
He quickly sat on the magic carpet and said, "Teacher, let's go."
"Let's go!" The Aged magic carpet started up and carried seven pigeons all the way out of the city.
…
…
Three minutes later, an air-powered vehicle stopped at the location where Qi Ge left.
Surprisingly, another Aged got off the pneumatic vehicle.
He looked around and didn't see Qi Ge, so he stomped his feet with a dark face!
…
…
The seven pigeons used magic and found that after the magic carpet left Thunder City, it flew faster and farther.
This made Qi Ge feel confused.
He looked at Aged and asked softly:
"Teacher, where are we going?"
Aged turned his head and looked at Qi Ge carefully, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Don't worry, it's not far enough yet, it needs to be farther."
When Qi Ge heard Aged's answer, he was immediately confused.
"Agaid has joined my territory, and his loyalty is over 100.
Logically, he couldn't have answered my question in such an ambiguous way.
Even if there is something that cannot be said, you should find a way to hint it to me indirectly.
Could it be that he is not Al-Gaid?"
Qi Ge took out his ID card, held it in his hand and said:
"Ta Ling, help me contact Teacher Aged."
"Ta Ling Huanhuan received the message. I am helping you get in touch.
The contact is complete, Agaide is by your side.
Please don’t question it randomly.”
Qi Ge's heart trembled and he turned to look beside him.
This time, he heard it very clearly.
The so-called dreamy voice of Talling did not come from the identity card at all, but from Aged's body!
Aged smiled slightly and stared at Qi Ge.
His mouth was not open, but the dreamy and cute girl's voice belonging to Ta Ling kept ringing in his body.
"Hey, you found out so quickly, that's boring.
Hmm? How did you find out?
I am very confident in my role as Aged, so you shouldn't have discovered me.
Could it be that there is some secret code between you that even I don't know?
It seems that you and Agaide have a good relationship."
Qi Ge felt a chill on his back. He turned around, looked at the scenery rapidly receding behind him, and took a deep breath.
"Don't look at it, you can't jump down."
The fake Aged tapped the magic carpet lightly with his fingers, and the carpet suddenly changed its appearance.
A black cage appeared out of nowhere, locking the Seven Pigeons and the fake Aged inside.
"A place of imprisonment.
Combine treasures.
Escape magic is prohibited, teleportation items are prohibited, and the effect is equivalent to a weakened [War Shackles].
It’s not that easy to get out.
From the moment you step onto the magic carpet, there's no way you can leave.
Seven pigeons, are you surprised? Are you surprised? "
Qi Ge took another deep breath and said softly:
“I’ve always wanted to find you, but I never had the chance.
I never thought we would meet in this way, Your Majesty the Demigod."
"It seems that you have guessed who I am?"
The fake Alged showed a smug smile on his face.
"How about it? My camouflage skills are not worse than His Majesty's camouflage skills, right?"
Qi Ge looked at the fake Agaide and said slowly:
"Yes. This cage is even better.
However, Your Majesty the Demigod, you may have overlooked something very important.
Excuse me, I am the chosen one of Yasha."
The fake Agaide's smug expression froze on his face.
Qi Ge took out a small knife and placed it across his neck.
"Your Majesty, please stop immediately and explain your purpose.
Otherwise, I will die in front of you.
Three, two..."
