Chapter 5: Reunion
The old man looked at Wei Yi's cautious expression, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, if you don't want to go, you can go."
Vey and Waverly looked at each other, saluted the old man, and quickly left through the door of the restaurant.
The street outside the restaurant was filled with people watching the excitement. They craned their necks curiously to see what had just happened in the restaurant.
After some people saw Wei Yi and Waverly coming out of the door, they wanted to squeeze in and ask questions, but the two people put on their hoods and disappeared into the darkness of the street under the cover of the crowd.
"Why do you think that old man wants to help us?" Waverly asked in a low voice.
Wei Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Perhaps he really wants to repay us for sharing the same table! But this old man is really strong." After saying this, Wei Yi was shocked in his heart and could not calm down for a long time.
Since leaving the Highland Valley, he has met many strong men along the way to Balachico and then to Doro City, such as Ravel, the commander of the Thunder Falcon Legion, and his uncle Yadir. The most powerful one is
The red archbishop who led them to the City of Light - Soful. In Wei Yi's mind, the aura exuded by this strange old man tonight was stronger than that of all the powerful men he had seen. This was not unterrifying.
Waverly caught a glimpse of Wei Yi thinking about something, and she sighed: "Guangming City is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. We have met two such powerful people just one day after arriving in the city. It seems that we have to continue to improve our strength.
!”
Wei Yi nodded and said: "We really need to quickly improve our strength. Now that monsters have appeared in the Southern Territory, I am afraid that the days of peace in the Southern Territory are coming to an end."
As he was speaking, his peripheral vision stopped under a dim streetlight next to the street. Weiyi stopped on the side of the road with his footsteps.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Vey stop, Waverly followed his gaze toward the streetlight in confusion.
Under the streetlight, there was a tall man talking to a man dressed like a local resident. He seemed to feel someone looking at him from behind, so he hurriedly ended the conversation with the citizens and walked into the small space between the two houses.
Lane. The man was dressed in black, and his appearance gave Wei Yi an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"Let's go, let's follow that person."
With that said, Vey took Waverly's hand and chased her into the alley.
"Why are you chasing that person? Do you know him?" Waverly was stunned, but she did not question Weiyi's decision.
Wei Yi took a deep breath and said, "I see his back looks familiar. I hope it's him."
Waverly was not stupid. She quickly remembered that Vey had talked to her about his life experience and journey experiences before: "You mean that person is the elf you met before? His name is...
.The one in Oia?”
"Yes, I saw that his back looked very similar to Oia, so I followed him to take a look."
They trotted in the dark alley, and the entrance of the alley was still illuminated by street lights. As they went deeper and deeper into the winding alley, the light became dim, and in some areas it was even difficult to see.
There were many ropes and threads hanging above the alley, with wet rattan hanging from the surface. From time to time, in the mottled cracks on the walls of some alleys, a pair of eyes with flashing blue light would stare at the two uninvited guests.
A few minutes later, they ran through the alley and came to another narrower street. However, this street was obviously much more remote, with only a few pedestrians walking quickly under the flickering street lights.
"There." Sharp-eyed Waverly pointed to the corner of a house. The man in black turned his face back, quickened his pace, and walked into the alley.
"Let's go, let's follow. But be careful, he may have spotted us. I'm not sure it's him yet."
Wei Yi opened the cuffs of his wide sleeves, and the dagger slipped from the sleeves and fell on Wei Yi's hand. They put on their hoods and ran quickly into the alley.
The alleys between the houses that the men in black entered were still dark, and the alleys led straight into the darkness. Even though they had good vision and perception, they did not see any moving objects in the dead alleys. Weiyi listened carefully,
But he only heard the sound of water dripping from the leaky pipe and the sound of wind passing through the alley.
"Wait for me here. This alley is so narrow that it is not suitable for a magician to perform." Wei Yi said in a low voice.
Waverly hesitated for a while and nodded. She said: "Remember to call me if you are in danger."
Weiyi smiled, turned and walked into the darkness.
The walls of the alley were already mottled, and under the impact of water droplets, they were corroded beyond recognition.
A few minutes later, Wei Yi reached the end of the alley - a dark red brick wall stretched across the alley, sealing it off.
Wei Yi raised his head and looked at the high wall, which was more than ten meters tall. He murmured doubtfully: "It's strange. Did he climb out from here?"
He lowered his head and checked the wall. There were no new marks on the moss-covered wall.
He's still in the alley!
His sixth sense told him that danger was coming to him.
Without any warning, several pieces of wall debris fell on Wei Yi's hair. He raised his hand to take a piece of debris and took a look at it, and then a numb and sharp feeling hit the top of his head.
Wei Yi fell back without hesitation, a cold light appeared in his sleeves, and the sharp dagger slashed through the air, striking at the thing above his head.
"clang!"
The crisp collision sound broke the dead silence of the alley, and Wei Yi was shocked. The strength of this man in black was so strong that although they had only fought once, he felt that the strength of the man in black was probably on par with his own.
Wei Yi kicked his foot on the wall and turned his body backward in the air.
Suddenly, a bang broke the dead silence again. Wei Yi's pupils shrank, he was too familiar with this sound.
This is the sound of a crossbow!
The next moment, a cold light broke through the space between the two people, and arrived in front of Wei Yi in the blink of an eye.
Wei Yi's eyes flashed, and his body twisted in the air. The next second, he thrust out the dagger and hit the middle of the arrow, cutting it in half.
Wei Yi landed and caught the arrow. The man in black did not continue to attack, but looked at the hooded man fighting him from a distance in confusion. His strength also surprised the man in black.
Wei Yi looked at the arrow, and joy and excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"You, are you Oia?" Weiyi suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a low voice.
The man in black, who was preparing to launch the next attack, suddenly stiffened and said in a deep voice: "How do you know my name?"
Only then did Wei Yi realize that he was still wearing a hood that obscured his face. He pulled off the hood and released the long sword. The sword flames instantly dispelled the darkness in the alley.
"Wei...weiyi!" the man in black shouted, his voice becoming excited.
He took off his mask and hat, revealing blond hair, a pair of pointed ears, and a pair of light green eyes full of excitement.
The next moment, the two hugged each other tightly.
"You...why are you here? Lerka and I both thought you were dead..." Seeing Vey reunited after a long separation, Oia was excited and incoherent, and her voice was trembling.
.
Wei Yi laughed and said: "How is it possible? How can I die so easily? It's you, your strength has improved very quickly!"
Ia said angrily: "Don't tell me that I was weak when I was with you before. How did you recognize me?"
Wei Yi smiled slightly and said, "Are you sure we can continue chatting here? Let's talk about it later when we go out to find a good place."
