Monarch of Evernight: How to choose on May Day?

bsp;In the evening, Cui Yuanhai slowly woke up. Qianye came over immediately after hearing the news, prepared some light wine and food in a quiet and elegant room, and sat across from him to drink together.

"Old man, I didn't expect that this meeting would take so long." Qianye said with emotion.

Cui Yuanhai sighed and said: "If I had known this, it would be better to enjoy the happiness in that small place in Xilu."

Qianye smiled and said, "With your skills, you won't be able to enjoy happiness anywhere. Sooner or later, someone will find your head."

Cui Yuanhai seemed to be touched by something on his mind, and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. He said, "I have fallen to this point now. I am not as motivated as I was when I was young. I always felt that "

I remember when we first met, the old man was just a shop with a front store and a back store. Although the room was not big, it could still hold all the utensils. The 'bullet' that was so ingeniously designed was hammered out bit by bit by him with a small hammer.

However, in Qianye’s view today, the design idea of ​​‘Bullet’ is opportunistic and not the right thing to do.

The 'bullet' is exquisite enough, but after all, its grade is not high, which limits its power, and it is no longer worthy of Qianye's eyes today.

Cui Yuanhai's own strength is not high, and he does not have the assistance of large-scale equipment. To this day, his understanding of large-scale Force arrays and the Force arrays of truly high-end firearms has been limited, which has long become his bottleneck. He can only master these small skills. Slowly improve, but eventually there is a limit. Just like ‘bullets’, truly strong people have no use for them.

Whether it is cultivation or various equipment that costs a lot of money, only powerful family members have enough resources to support Cui Yuanhai's further growth. But by the time he understood this truth, he was already old and his great talent was wasted in small workshops.

Thinking of this, Qianye couldn't help but sigh. If Lin Xitang hadn't picked him up from the garbage dump in Yongye and developed him in Huangquan and Red Scorpion, I'm afraid he wouldn't be where he is today. After all, in terms of resources, few can surpass the imperial military.

Recalling the past, Cui Yuanhai was filled with sadness. After drinking for a while, he talked about what happened after the separation.

In the rebellion, Cui Yuanhai did not suffer much because of his status as a firearms master. However, it was resold several times and changed to several different owners. It was not until a deacon from Tingchao City Lord's Mansion bought him that he felt stable.

So Qianye couldn't find any news about him after repeated inquiries, and even more failed. If we hadn't accidentally seen those weapons, we might never have had the chance to meet them.

The two drank back and forth, chatting about past events, and gradually became intoxicated.

"Where are Nighteye and the little guy?" the old man asked. He had mentioned this topic several times, but Qianye always avoided it. But this time, the old man stared at Qianye stubbornly and could not be avoided.

Qianye forced a smile and said: "The little guy is very good. He is growing up during this period, so he falls asleep every day. Ye Tong is no longer here."

"Not there?!"

"She left, this is not her home."

The old man's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Nonsense! You guys obviously had a good life during those days, how could she just leave? Something must have happened, right? Did you do something? I'm sorry. Her thing?"

Qianye smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "No. How can I talk about this? I'd better not talk about it."

The old man understood that there was another hidden story, and when he saw Qianye's appearance, he stopped asking questions, so as not to expose the wounds again.

He poured a glass of wine for Qianye, changed the subject, and said, "It's rare that you still remember me. I have worked in the weapons workshop for a while, and I have gained some experience. Now I feel that I am not So old. If you need me to do anything, just ask."

Qianye cheered up and said: "During this period, I found a good place, and I just want to build a large-scale weapons workshop there. If you don't mind, just go over and host it."

"This is a good thing, it suits me. But the equipment is not cheap!"

"The equipment is all ready, no need to worry."

Cui Yuanhai perked up and asked a few questions in detail. Hearing the equipment model reported by Qianye, he couldn't help being shocked: "These things are banned in the empire! How did you get them?"

“Even if it’s a prohibited item, there’s always someone who can find a way.”

Qianye didn’t say anything clearly. Song Zining has been operating in the empire for many years and has begun to accumulate reputation in the military. It is still very easy to get some equipment.

After a while, the old man finally became a little weaker, overwhelmed by alcohol, and collapsed on the table. Even when he was drunk, he would sigh from time to time, as if he was regretting the wasted time.

Qianye helped him back to the room, laid him down on the bed, and quietly left.

He walked out of the door, jumped up slightly, and landed on the top of the nearby power tower like a night bird. This is the highest place in the area, with a starry sky above your head and a bird's eye view of the thousands of lights in the city.

Tonight, Cui Yuanhai accidentally disturbed his thoughts. At this moment, he had no intention of doing anything, and just wanted to stay in this place for a while without being disturbed.

He was sitting on the top of the power tower, unconsciously playing with a small box in his hand. There were several struggles on his face, showing that he was having difficulty making up his mind.

The past days are still vivid in my mind. I think the happiest time was when Ye Tong was waiting at home while he was fighting everywhere. At that time, I was actually very happy when I had the responsibility of supporting my family.

If he could choose again, Qianye would not join the war, but would stay with her for a long time.

It's a pity that there is no such thing in the world. Even if he is as powerful as the King of Zhiji, he still has to bury his heart in the secret realm of a neutral place.

"What's that in your hand?" Ji Tianqing's voice suddenly sounded, startling Qianye.

She unceremoniously sat down next to Qianye, reached out and snatched the small box over, ready to open it.

Qianye was shocked, stretched out his hand to grab it, and shouted: "Don't move!"

With a clever twist, Ji Tianqing hid the box behind her back, straightened her chest, and looked at Qianye provocatively. As soon as she moved like this, Qianye's hand went straight towards her chest. Qianye was startled again and hurriedly stopped. This sudden burst of energy made him feel uncomfortable despite his strong body.

Ji Tianqing turned around and was about to open the box.

"Can't open! That's"

"Dream-Eating Insect King, right?"

Qianye was about to grab it again. When he heard this sentence, his hands froze in mid-air and said in shock: "How do you know?"

Ji Tianqing looked disdainful and threw the box back to Qianye, saying: "This kind of box is used to contain the dream-eating insect queen, and with such obvious aura leaking out, who wouldn't know!"

"Aura leaking out?" Qianye instinctively felt something was wrong.

"The box you have in your hand is not used to contain the Dream-Eating Insect King at all. Therefore, it cannot block its breath. If you hadn't kept it in the space equipment, it would have been useless."

Qianye was shocked. If this dream-eating insect king failed, wouldn't all the hard work be in vain? When he thought of this, his face instantly turned pale.

Ji Tianqing looked at Qianye and said meaningfully: "Have you kept this for a long time?"

Qianye didn't speak. After a while, he nodded silently.

"Actually, I felt it when you put Burial Heart and Dongyue back into the necklace. So it's strange. If you didn't take it out, I would have asked."

Qianye clenched his right hand into a fist, which was shaking slightly because of too much force.

Ji Tianqing suddenly sighed and threw a small porcelain bottle to Qianye. There was an indescribable fragrance coming out of the porcelain bottle. Qianye was stunned when he smelled it: "Mirror water washes away life?"

"It's just a small portion, less than a portion. But this amount is enough to revive the Dream-Eating Insect King and double its effectiveness. You have to think about whether to use it or not."

"this"

"Mirror Water Purification will lose its effectiveness in another day. And the Dream-Eating Insect King can only last for one day. After it revives, if it is still contained in this box, it can only last for three days."

Qianye hesitated for a moment before asking: "Do you have anything that can hold it?"

"I can't have everything, right? What should I do with such a useless thing?" Ji Tianqing said angrily.

Qianye was so stunned that he said helplessly: "I understand. Also, thank you very much for tonight."

Ji Tianqing shook her head, "Don't thank me, maybe I have bad intentions."

"" Qianye was startled, as if he had thought of something, but felt unbelievable.

"Okay, you continue to worry about the wind, I'm going back to sleep." Ji Tianqing stood up and jumped off the power tower, not giving Qianye a chance to ask questions.

After she left, Qianye looked at Jingshui Disheng and the Dream-Eating Insect King in his hands, knowing that he could no longer escape and had to make a choice.

Since getting the Dream-Eating Insect Queen, Qianye has been selectively forgetting it, actually for one reason. Qianye has always subconsciously believed that Ye Tong awakened at this moment because of taking the dream-eating bug.

For Nighteye herself, it is difficult to tell which one is the real her between the previous and the current will. Maybe it is both, but they are only part of it. However, for Qianye, only the Ye Tong before was the real her. Until now, Qianye doesn't know how to face Ye Tong now, or whether he should still treat her as the same person.

The reason why Qianye never gave her the Dream-Eating Insect King was because he was vaguely worried that with this, would Ye Tong fully awaken, completely burying the past, and never return to the past?

However, from another aspect, Nighteye's soul is still in an incomplete state, which affects her strength to a considerable extent. It can be said that if her soul is not repaired, there will be no possibility of climbing to or even getting close to the Holy Mountain.

The current Ye Tong's combat power barely reaches the Duke level, and his true blood level is only that of a Count. In the huge system of the Yongye Vampire Clan, she is still fragile. If King Wuguang sends a powerful duke, or even comes in person, Night Eye may not even have a chance to escape.

Qianye holds the Dream-Eating Insect King in one hand and the Mirror Water Purifier in the other. Both hands are trembling.

ps: Thanks to the weather in the imperial capital, the flight was delayed by more than four hours today. Originally I wanted to give everyone a surprise, a third update. Now the third update is for Civil Aviation.
