Many people had predicted the outcome of this battle before the duel began. Whether they were making well-intentioned comments or malicious speculations, the final result was almost the same. A few people had also speculated. Guo Jian Beidong may fall into a hard battle, or even fail, because whether it is for his own considerations or the interests of the guild, Fu Sheng Lu Meng will obviously not let go of this famous event easily. Opportunity, so when facing this battle, he will definitely try his best to win the battle, and even do whatever it takes to kill his opponent. But even after thinking of this, the players' confidence in Jian Beidong is still high. In addition to their trust in his past reputation, they also have expectations for Jian Beidong's self-cultivation in the past three years. This is especially true for some people who have played against him - Jian Beidong is a talented player, and his strength is unfathomable in their eyes. The unique setting of the free world also makes this advantage more complete. displayed.
However, this last shocking blow was beyond everyone's expectations.
Except for the two contestants in the center of the field who were still panting, the rest of the spectators were like Mengzhu, involuntarily relaxing their breathing. In the moment of silence, only Duan Qing, who neither cared nor cared, lowered his voice and asked his companions around him: "What's wrong with you guys? Was that attack scary just now..."
"Yes." After two seconds, the smiling butcher replied in a low voice with some lingering fear: "Sword Qi..."
"What happened to the sword energy?"
"What's wrong?" As if seeing an unbelievable sight, the smiling butcher's eyes were a little dull like other spectators beside him: "Do you really not know or... this is a free world."
"Forget it if it's in an ordinary game. In this game..."
Duan Qing was a little stunned.
Brilliant magic, dazzling sword light - this is a sight often seen in ordinary sword and magic games. Whether it is to attract the attention of players and realize their dream of becoming a hero, or to balance the strength between melee and long-range combat, and to bridge the gap between physics and magic, in general fantasy games, designers give magicians While they have powerful and gorgeous magic, they will also give professionals who like to use melee weapons a bunch of powerful skills and moves to compete with, such as large-scale attacks, sword energy that can strike from a distance, or methods to counter magic. Means of long-range throwing, etc. These skills are designed to allow melee professionals to use various methods to compete with magic professions while maintaining their melee advantage. However, magic itself is a non-existent, supernatural phenomenon. , so if you want to reach that point, in addition to using bows, arrows, crossbows and other representatives of the cold weapon era, other physical methods will inevitably be labeled as "transcendental science".
Therefore, it is difficult for these designs to appear in the free world.
Players are currently exploring skills in the free world and have seen many skills and moves that are practical and understood by the majority of players. However, none of the melee skills are beyond the scope of people's physical cognition. From the initial slashing, stabbing, sweeping, boxing, to the high-level spinning slash, whirlwind slash, jumping slash, tearing, and even the armor-breaking, fatal attacks, and status-based attacks that are effect-based attacks. Battle roars, etc., are all action levels that can be achieved in physical cognition. Even weapon throwing, a long-range attack method that has been discovered by players, is literally throwing the weapon in your hand. There is no auxiliary aiming on the system, and there will be no automatic recovery. Method - it is a move that literally throws the weapon, not to mention that strange things will appear on the weapon, such as glowing, heating, enchantment states such as ice or fire, and... ...something like sword energy.
The exception is Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice - Duan Qing has seen the special effects of her weapon, so he is not so sensitive to things like sword energy.
"Therefore, except for very few cases, it is very difficult to see supernatural physical attacks in the free world." The smiling butcher explained a few words casually, and at the same time returned his gaze to the scene. , there, Jian Beidong had put away his weapons and started walking towards his opponent in a silent atmosphere: "At least among the players, now... No, no one has been able to do it before. Do it.”
"Now someone has done it," he said with emotion. "Whatever the outcome of this battle, this will be a... milestone in the free world."
In other words, has the door to the new world of melee professions been opened... Duan Qing shook his head and smiled, and then returned his gaze to the battlefield.
"You lost." Jian Beidong did not stand in front of Fusheng Lianmeng and look down at his opponent with a condescending look. Instead, he stood two or three meters away, with his arms folded, and his voice was as low as the cold wind: "Think of what you've done."
"This is your fate."
"Hehehehe..." The figure struggling on the ground gradually stopped. The scholar in black turned over his body, covering the wound under his ribs with one hand, and slightly bent one knee. , looking up to the sky: "I still don't know where the grudge between us comes from... It's probably because I have done too many things."
"It should be because there are too many bad things." Jian Beidong added coldly: "That's why you should be like this."
"Good or bad, right or wrong, these things are just like good and evil, they have different standpoints." Fusheng Lingmeng lay quietly on the ground made of earth and rocks, letting his opponent stare at him eagerly, without any hesitation. He is concerned about whether the other party will send him to the hotel right away: "Different standpoints naturally lead to different views on right and wrong. This is also...the origin of many grievances and hatreds."
"I thought a player like you would be able to understand it."
"Of course I can understand." Jian Beidong said, "But so what, it doesn't prevent...I will come here and beat you up."
"Huh huh huh... Hahahahaha!" Unexpectedly, he burst out laughing when he heard the floating dream here: "It seems..."
"My life was saved."
"So what if I kill you." Jian Beidong curled his lips indifferently: "There will be no loss if you die in this game. At most, you can just go back to the city. And now you don't seem to have anything important to deal with. ,so......"
"So there's no point in killing me, right?" Fu Sheng Ling Meng said, "Instead of giving me a good time, it's better to let me lie here covering the wound for a while, right? You are really...unexpected So cruel."
"Each other."
"There seems to be no point in waiting for me to bleed to death. How about we talk about it? For example, when you hit me, was it the legendary sword energy?"
"No comment. And your injuries are not serious enough to bleed to death. Do you think I can't tell..."
"You are indeed an expert. By the way, don't you want to stab me twice more?"
"God knows how much health you have left."
"Yes, mages have always been very weak...but that's not what I mean."
Fu Sheng Ling Meng raised his head with difficulty and looked to the north of the town. In the sky, the onlookers who had not waited for the final result of the duel still did not disperse. They were discussing in low voices what had just happened. Looking at the subsequent development of the two people here, some subordinate members of the force have begun to retreat and find a place to go offline in order to pass the valuable information they have obtained to their guild executives as quickly as possible. When Jian Beidong followed the eyes of the scholar in black and looked around, he did not find the figures of these people who had secretly withdrawn. What he noticed was something even more concerning.
The person in the red robe, the person who should stand up at this moment, disappeared.
"You..." He turned his head suddenly and looked at the face of the scholar in black who was still staring at the north: "What do you want to do?"
"boom!"
Before the other party could answer, a huge explosion suddenly came from the north of the city.
****************
"It's an explosion!" "How could there be an explosion in the city?"
"Did the Imperial Army come here?"
"My home is still over there, I want to go back and take a look!"
"Danger, Pallas, don't be impulsive..."
"What happened?"
"I don't know, Will is patrolling over there, there should be a report coming soon..."
"Send two people there. I want to be the one... who knows the details first."
"Yes, sir."
A huge fireball rose in the sky north of the city with a loud noise, and then turned into red and black smoke, carrying the slanting mountain wind and rushing towards the sky. Panic shouts spread around the north of the city with the explosion, and commotion began to spread around Fengwu Square near the north of the city with the explosion. Unlike the panicked reaction of the townspeople of Fenghua Town, the players talked more out of curiosity.
"What's wrong? Why did it explode suddenly?"
"What a big explosion. Could it be that the Kerry family's furnace exploded?"
"How can there be such a powerful stove, and the blacksmith shop is south of us..."
"Where is that place? According to our current position, it seems to be..."
"storehouse?"
"It should be so. I remember that the merchants who come and go often store their goods there. I even helped deliver them twice..."
"Then where did the merchant's goods come from?"
"It's not something like explosives, is it?"
"I have never heard of gunpowder weapons in battles in the free world, but they may be magic products. If you think about it, it seems that they are more dangerous..."
"When you put it like that, it seems very similar." One person pointed towards the thick smoke and fireball still rising into the sky: "Look, the look of this explosion... seems to be the effect of fire magic. "
"Isn't it?" "Really?"
"It's better to report it to your superiors quickly and let them identify it..."
"Hey, don't, the things here are not over yet, let me finish watching before leaving!"
"It's such a mess here, it seems something is going to happen."
Things happened much faster than they imagined. The crowd attracted by the explosion did not notice that the seriously injured man in the field had already stood up with the help of two Wizard men. But he didn't want to take advantage of the chaos and quickly escape in this direction. Instead, with the help of his companions, he walked to the edge of a nearby crowd of onlookers.
"What's wrong? Do you want to escape?"
The person who said this was not Jian Beidong who was standing behind and watching the development with interest, but also several players in this area. They looked like admirers of the Phoenix Sword, so they were still a bit disdainful of the behavior of Luo Shengmeng at this time.
However, the scholar in black did not answer the questions of these people. He did not even look at these people - his eyes were always fixed on the place behind the crowd. There were three or two people who looked like townspeople standing there, among whom One man was also wearing a large-brimmed hat, covering his face with the wide brim.
The next moment, Fu Sheng Ling Meng directly revealed his identity.
"Thank you for your visit, Mayor Rama."
The onlookers were startled, and then quickly leaned to the sides, revealing the figures of the people in the middle.
"But please allow me to express my sincere condolences about what just happened..."
"Pity."
The scholar broke away from the support of the two people next to him and reluctantly bowed to the person in front of him. However, there didn't seem to be any reaction from the other side, and they just lowered the hat on their heads.
"I - we got some news through certain channels before, Mr. Mayor." The scholar didn't care about the other party's reaction. He straightened up and regained the support of the Wizard members on both sides: "What the news reveals is that someone wants to harm the warehouse in the north of the city."
"And now, that intelligence appears to have become reality."
The man opposite him moved imperceptibly, and then raised his head slightly.
"Don't look at me like that, sir." Fusheng Limeng seemed to have regained his usual composure, and the wound on his ribs couldn't stop him from showing a confident smile: "You should understand better than me. What is."
The originally agitated crowd also began to notice the developments here, and then slowly moved closer. The irregular circle formed by the onlookers began to collapse. Duan Qing and others also took advantage of the commotion to get closer to the confrontation between the scholar in black and the suspected mayor Rama.
Then, they heard the first public attack by players on the indigenous people in the history of free world games.
"So, on behalf of our Wizard, I hereby formally file a complaint with you." Fu Sheng Ling Meng put away his smile and put on a calm expression: "It was you who caused it. There was an explosion.”
"It was you who caused the Kalon Pass incident not long ago."
"You...are the mastermind behind the bandits!"
Amidst the howling of the mountain wind, both the townspeople and the players who had not yet left stopped their voices because of this loud and public accusation. They quietly looked at the man who was still extremely weak despite the support. Then... he looked at the man in the top hat opposite him.
"Huh, hehehe." Finally, the man let out an old laugh. He slowly took off his top hat and looked at the suddenly angry adventurer with a wrinkled smile: "Ha, haha ,Ha ha ha ha!"
The smile gradually faded away.
"After spending so much words and... releasing goodwill, I was finally invited here. It turns out..."
The old man patted the hat in his hand: "It's not that you want me to be a notary, but... for this."
He looked around at the onlookers. Among them were players who still didn't know what was going on, townspeople he was familiar with, and people who knew some of the inside story. They even began to look suspiciously.
"Yes." He nodded appreciatively: "I have to say, the timing and location are very good, very consistent with the style of adventurers, and indeed beyond my...expectations."
"However, if you accuse me so openly, I wonder if... there is any conclusive evidence?"
"Lord Rama! Lord Rama! We have failed...ah!"
Before Fusheng Lumeng could reply, someone suddenly shouted from the alley behind. The sound was clearly audible, and finally turned into a scream, and then ended abruptly with the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. While the audience looked at each other in shock, the face of the mayor of Fenghua Town had already begun to turn livid.
"...Oh, it seems..." Fusheng Limeng whistled: "You don't need us, the evidence will come to your door by itself, right?"
