Chapter 173: The Tower City Caught in a Storm
Xumi, the island boundary on the edge of the sea.
The Red King stood at the front with a cold face, and five demons were kneeling beside him, clamoring to go back to play cards. They looked as if they wished they could stay in that sealed place forever, as if they were uncomfortable leaving their comfortable home.
"Let me go back. I don't want to go back there and be ordered around by others. I want to play cards."
"Ah, my Emperor Yuan Qiong Yu cards, I want to go back and play cards. Why did you take us out? We are already qualified prisoners, we don't want to go back!"
"I was a respectable leader back then, but the other side gave me too much. Let me go back now. I don't want to fight anymore. I want to go back and play cards."
"Damn it, isn't it nice to stay there? The environment is good, you can eat and drink on your own, and you can play cards. It's simply a holy place for retirement. I don't want to go back and be sent to the next battlefield and become scum after being eliminated."
"I want to play cards, let me go!"
Hearing the noisy voices in his ears, the originally cold face of the Red King twitched. Looking at the several demon gods with complicated expressions who had already arrived at the border of the sea area to exchange hostages, he said in a cold tone:
"Bring the things here, and I'll return these guys to you."
Listening to the seniors kneeling on the ground and rolling around in front of them, not wanting to go to the battlefield to play any cards, the demons sent by the leader to redeem the hostages seemed to be extremely puzzled, but since the leader's orders were absolute, they still did as they were told and traded the materials that the Red King wanted with his hostages, and then dragged away the few demons who were in tears.
Not long after, No. 4 Ye Li arrived beside the Red King on his flying sword. After counting the materials, he nodded. Before leaving, he heard the Red King complain:
"I really don't know what method you used to make them want to stay in the seal you made earlier. They kept talking about playing cards, as if their brains were washed."
"This may be the laziness caused by a long period of comfortable life. After all, we didn't use too many resources to exchange for so many materials. We are making a lot of money."
No. 4 Ye Li explained before leaving, then flew away with the flying sword, leaving the Red King alone standing in the border sea area, lost in thought.
……
Mondstadt, the residence of the King of the North Wind Wolf, in the canyon of the future Wolf Ridge.
No. 1 Ye Li walked out of the canyon in a triumphant manner. The wolf cubs who had been chasing him relentlessly were so scared that they dared not move, especially the wolf king who had attacked. Now the whole wolf was lying on the ground, trembling like a husky.
No. 1 Ye Li came to the Wolf King with an arrogant and mean expression, and said in a very teasing tone:
"Hey, isn't this the wolf friend who chased me so hard a week ago? How come he's so lazy after not seeing him for a few days?"
No. 1 Ye Li smiled. The North Wind Wolf King who followed behind him felt speechless about the guy who liked to hide his strength in front of him and used his remaining power to bully others. However, he did not bother with him for the time being because he taught him to cook so many delicious dishes.
After scaring the Wolf King with all kinds of words, No. 1 Ye Li was no longer interested in staying here. He turned around and walked towards the snowy woods. Without even turning his head, he stretched out his hand and said goodbye to the North Wind Wolf:
"The mountains remain green, the waters flow forever. Lord of the North Wind, we will meet again if fate allows."
The wind was blowing hard and snow was flying everywhere, covering up No. 1 Ye Li's figure until he disappeared from the sight of all the wolves a few minutes later.
The North Wind Wolf King sighed, glanced at the sobbing Wolf King who was very scared and aggrieved, and couldn't help but complain in his heart:
"How come wolf cubs these days are so vulnerable to being frightened? You are the wolf king of a pack after all. Even though I am scaring you for some reason, you don't have to be so scared, do you?"
……
It has been more than half a year since he said goodbye to the Lord of the North Wind. No. 1 Ye Li continued to walk on the snow at the speed of a mortal, heading towards the city-state that would become a ruin in the future. Although that city-state would be blown into that state by Alice in the future, what did it have to do with him? He was just a businessman anyway, not the kind of person who specialized in repairing buildings.
However, in order to save time, he made a wooden ski car this time, which more than doubled the moving speed, and he finally reached his destination in half a year.
Of course, Ye Li also visited the village No. 1 he passed by on the way to exchange supplies. Now, he had a lot of silver, gold, and even copper coins in his pocket, enough to buy a large house as a territory in the city-state surrounded by the storm.
Looking at the city in front of him that was wrapped in a storm and could not be approached by the huge wind field, No. 1 Ye Li touched his chin, thinking about which method he could use to raid in without being discovered by the guy in the high tower.
Although he already knew the approximate time, with less than half a month left before the annual wind farm opened, a little curiosity in his heart still urged him to enter as soon as possible, but he still suppressed it.
After all, during the one-month waiting period, many people from Mond will come here early, doing their own things, preparing to go into the city to purchase supplies. After all, for the Mond people who are protected or imprisoned, this is an opportunity to gain freedom, and they will naturally not let it go.
Now that he already knew the approximate time, No. 1 Ye Li thought about it carefully and naturally stopped being in a hurry. After all, he could still make a deal while waiting for someone to arrive, so it wouldn't be a loss at all.
……
In Liyue, at the Guiliji Qianyan Army's position, No. 3 Ye Li looked at the neatly arranged Qianyan Army below with a serious expression and said:
"As new recruits who have been training here for half a year, you are strong enough to be qualified to go to the battlefield, but I still want to remind you that monsters are not toys. If you do not fight according to the way taught by the army and act recklessly, the end result may be death on the battlefield. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I will definitely live up to the coach's training and teachings!"
"Very good, very good. The new recruits except Yun Shang can go back and pack their bags to the border."
The new recruits of Qianyan Army left in a mighty manner, leaving behind Yun Shang, who had become accustomed to No. 3 Ye Li's behavior over the past six months.
"Alas, it looks like Lao Yun is going to get beaten again."
"He is the best spearman among us, so I don't find it strange that the coach values him."
"Although he is the most powerful among us, he can't withstand the coach's shot."
"Okay, stop talking, the coach is still watching."
Listening to the whispers of many people leaving nearby, Yun Shang smiled helplessly.
"Coach, what is the matter that you kept me here this time?"
"Of course this is the last time to test your training results. Fight me with all your strength this time, or I will beat you to death."
No. 3 Ye Li said something, and then he held the spear, and the silver light flashed coldly under the sunlight.
"Coach, you are making things difficult for me. After all, I have fought with many heroes in the army. I can't withstand a few of your shots."
Yun Shang was speechless, but there was still a hint of excitement in his eyes. He raised his gun and walked forward to attack.
