"I will follow the wind blowing people out of this place. It is said that they have a fixed station in the Eta group, so don't worry about me."
"Okay. If we are destined, let's meet again in the future."
It was the early morning of February 2, 795 in the New Calendar. Duan Qing, Mengzhu and the smiling butcher had breakfast, and then headed towards the north city gate while the sky was still dark. There should have been four people at this time, but Duan Qing and Mengzhu waited at the Adventurers Association for a long time, but did not see the shirtless figure of Xiao Hongchen.
"That guy Xiao Hongchen... he hasn't come back since I asked him to find the materials. Is something going to happen?"
"With his character, it's not surprising that he would do anything crazy." The smiling butcher said: "If I have time, I will look for him and... inform you of your news. he."
"Ha, that's best."
At this time, Uncle Smiling was no longer alone. Behind him, several members who claimed to be Fu Feng Guild were following him either seriously or casually, as if they were his younger brothers. It was not known whether they were senior officials of Fu Feng. The recognition of Uncle Smile's value was due to his daughter's status in the guild.
However, according to Duan Qing's understanding, the possibility of the latter is higher.
"I didn't expect you, uncle, to be such a well-established person." When he walked to the city gate, he shook hands with the smiling uncle and said, "You can even play my daughter's game so well, so you can be considered a success."
"Presumably Chihun's people won't dare to do anything to you if they show up again, right?"
"Don't plant a flag for me." The uncle slapped Duan Qing on the arm, but still kept a smile on his face: "I am an out-and-out pacifist. You can see that I am good at shields. If If I hadn't encountered all these things, I wouldn't just kill other players. And..."
"In terms of strength and reputation, you...should be much stronger than me."
Duan Qing touched his nose.
"We are destined to meet each other. The four of us are also the founders of the Fool's Adventure Group. No matter what, we should have some sense of accomplishment." Seeing the other party's reaction, the smiling uncle changed the topic: "Although this adventure group may We have to cancel it, but neither I nor Xiao Hongchen will cherish the time we spent together doing tasks around the town and escaping together."
"This is a player." Duan Qing also said with a smile: "From friendship to good friend, separation and reunification, and the cycle continues, this is the gaming career that suits a player."
The two hugged.
"Remember to get your shield. Maybe it will be as good as before."
"Remember to pass by Fufeng's station when you go to Eta County. We will entertain you well... I'll treat you."
The city gate opened. Duan Qing and Mengzhu waved to the other group of people, and then... walked out of the city gate with their bags on their backs.
"What should we do now? Should we go to Kalon Pass by carriage, or should we walk?"
"Of course it's by carriage! It is said that Kalon Pass is very far away..."
Transport teams commonly known as "buses" in the free world are generally located outside every town. Therefore, except for the caravan that Duan Qing took when he first arrived in Fenghua Town, ordinary players will get off when they arrive outside the city. Get the car, and then apply to enter the city based on your adventurer status. For Duan Qing, this point is almost negligible for the welfare of novices. For other adventurer players, especially veteran players, walking is often a better choice - because they prefer to encounter monsters in the wild. If you practice something, it would be better if you gain something.
However, Duan Qing was not in such a mood at this time, so when faced with the little girl's questions, he did not hesitate to choose the labor-saving method, although it would cost a little money.
"In this case, the time it takes us to reach our destination will be shortened a lot." After hearing Duan Qing's decision, the little girl started to calculate on her fingers: "In this way, we can save more food and the risk will be greatly reduced. Yes, but it will be boring... But forget it, we will get to Karon Pass early, we will have more things to do, what will we do when we get there? Should we continue to move forward or go to something else first? Let’s take a look around the place...”
"We'll talk about these things when we get there..."
"You're not going anywhere!"
In front of the inn door, several people suddenly appeared and blocked their way.
"Fortunately, the boss has a good plan." The player with a single sword and Qianzui Lige's ID name jumped out first: "Otherwise, if I let you run away, who would I settle the account with?"
"I want to run away without permission. Is this the end of the matter between us?" Yuwen Baiye, who was dressed in a yellow robe, also laughed and said: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect... to be a group of timid people. people."
"Oops, it's Chi Hun." Mengzhu hurriedly ran to Duan Qing's side, and at the same time put on a vigilant posture: "I thought they had given up..."
"Don't panic, just bully the weak and fear the strong." Duan Qing, an old man, put up a POS on the ground: "Otherwise, why don't they show their faces in the city and have to wait for us here?"
"You two!" Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be afraid of this, Yu Chen shouted first: "We have already posted people at several city gates! Even the hotels and taverns are full of our people! Today Don’t even think about leaving safely!”
"Seeing that there were only two of us left before jumping out, huh..." Duan Qing's teasing sneer answered him: "It really suits your Chihun style."
"Then...so what, I'm here to cause trouble for you today!" Aqiang, who was dressed in armor, was the last one to jump out of the grass next to him: "Come on, brothers, send them two back first!" "
Then, a dozen players squatting here swarmed forward and rushed towards Duan Qing and Mengzhu. Amid the exclamations of innocent passers-by around them, they quickly crossed the stone road of dozens of meters, and rushed in front of the two of them after a few breaths.
In the scene of wolves rushing and fighting, a piece of icy blue breath suddenly appeared, blowing from the distance of only two or three meters between the two sides.
"You're finally here." Amid the exclamations and avoidances of the Red Soul players, Duan Qing's leisurely expression finally collapsed, and he put down the arms he had been holding around: "I thought you wouldn't show up."
"A person must have integrity." Under the city gate on the other side, a scholar in black and several players also dressed in black walked over from the side: "What's more, for people who do great things, even a word does not count. , how could it be possible to hold up the scene..."
"You think so, Chihun's boss?"
"Hmph!" Aqiang, codenamed, climbed up from the crowd and patted the dust on his body: "Don't think that you are Wizard, we are really afraid of you, and the grievances between these two people and us should be It has nothing to do with you, is it not in line with the rules for you to intervene out of thin air..."
"Oh, I am friends with this... Brother Mo Shang Qingshan, um... I just made friends yesterday, so when my friend is in trouble, I naturally want to help." Fusheng Lumeng He scratched his nose shamelessly: "Not to mention..."
"When did Wizard tell you the rules when doing things?"
He smiled darkly: "Be careful where you are stationed, don't get blown up by a fireball."
"You..." Code name Aqiang's face turned red, then green again, as if he thought of something, and then slowly restrained his anger: "Okay, okay, I won't be able to meet you all today. But... .....”
"You." He pointed at Duan Qing: "They can protect you for a while, but they can't protect you for life. Sooner or later I will catch you."
"I expressed my attitude when we were in the mine." Duan Qing said, "It's a pity, but I still have to say..."
"my pleasure."
"Hmph!" Seeing that the other party showed no fear at all, Aqiang snorted heavily: "Don't think that you will be better off if you run away! Your teammates haven't left yet, they should still be in the city... "
"Ha! That reckless man Xiao Hongchen has gone somewhere long ago. We don't even know where he is. If you want to find him, go and find him, but be careful that he pokes a hole again. As for Uncle Smiling ..." Duan Qing said easily: "It's not that I don't believe it, how about you... go provoke that Fufeng guild and let me see?"
"By the way, there's that little girl...!" His threats were ineffective, and Aqiang's emotions were obviously on the verge of exploding: "You can't protect a little girl every day! Hahahaha! Let's go, let's go, you will never see that little Nina again! I can guarantee that this parting will be forever! When you come back to find her, you may see a tragic corpse! Ha ha ha ha......"
Duan Qing's face finally darkened.
"Stop barking, loser dog." The voice of Fu Sheng Ling Meng sounded at the right time, but he did not continue to stimulate the other party: "My friend is about to set off now, please look at my face and let a road come out... ....How are you?"
"Hahahaha... Humph!" Aqiang suppressed his wild laughter: "Let's... we'll see!"
Following the bustle of people, Chi Hun's team walked casually towards the city, and then gradually disappeared into the streets of Fenghua Town.
"Ignore those people." The scholar in black lowered his head: "They only talk about it, they don't dare to do anything."
"I know." Duan Qing said with a straight face: "Today... I still want to thank you. I didn't expect you to really come."
"I will definitely do something as lucrative as making you owe a favor." The scholar blinked and patted his shoulder: "And we have been monitoring these lackeys of the Wings of Freedom. They are obviously We have made a series of delaying plans, hoping to take action when the situation is in their favor and catch you and me in one fell swoop, so...after sending you off today, we will evacuate as soon as possible."
"Don't pay attention to that person's threats. They are all to delay time or to trick you into going back. As long as we can escape in time, everything here...will not be considered our defeat."
Duan Qing nodded.
"Well, have a nice trip." Seeing that the other party didn't say anything more, the scholar had no choice but to say goodbye: "No matter where you go, as long as the Council of Mages is there, you will be able to find our Wizard people. When the time comes... ..."
"If you want anything, just say it."
Before Duan Qing could say anything, the scholar in black turned around gracefully and led his men into the city gate.
"We..." When there were only two people left on the scene, Mengzhu finally asked in a low voice: "Are we... still going?"
"Of course we have to leave. If we delay, there will eventually be variables." Duan Qing looked at the streets in the city gate: "It's better not to increase the variables."
"Then...will Nina be okay?"
"It's not like you don't know where Nina is now." Duan Qing said without looking back: "We don't need to worry, because... that should be the safest place in Fenghua Town."
"Okay... since you said so..." After a long time, the little girl lowered her head and said in a nagging voice: "Then let's go."
"Go to the inn and ask if there is a suitable convoy." Duan Qing's eyes were still on the endless streets: "It should be better if someone comes with us."
"Yes, we can help each other on the way." Mengzhu nodded, and then walked towards the inn specially designed for players, but the next moment, she realized something was wrong: "What about you?"
"I...go back to the city to take a look."
*********************
"Brother, are you just going to let them go?"
"Otherwise, what should we do? There are more than a dozen people in Wizard. Are we supposed to have a hard fight with each other?"
"But before..." Yuwen Baiye wanted to say that it is not a strange thing for the weak to defeat the strong in the free world, but he remembered his own experience in the mine, so he stopped the topic: "Then how do we ask the question? ...They confessed?”
"Just tell me how you want to!" Aqiang waved his hand impatiently: "It's not a fight between life and death. There is no need to be so desperate. Do we have to keep all the other party's forces in the city to be considered a winner? I Speaking of you, don’t always be superstitious about those who are powerful. Being powerful is definitely a good thing, but it certainly can’t accomplish everything, right? Let them use their advantages and let’s continue to do our thing. Already..."
"Boss is right. I have long disliked those people. We have always had the final say here in Fenghua Town. Why should we listen to them in everything? Without us, they would not be able to accomplish those things. ......"
"Hey, hey, you can't say that. After all, Brother Liangchen's face is there." Aqiang waved his hand: "You remember, as long as your boss is here, these relationships can be preserved. We are in those big We can live comfortably among the forces, and when we develop and grow, huh...people like Weizard will only be able to be Hexi for those thirty years!"
"Boss said it well, we all listen to you, then... we continue to build relations with the mayor?"
"Of course, but those people in the Mage Council should not push too hard. They will have to deal with each other in the future. The previous commission from the mine was arranged by them. Maybe they can also be used as bargaining chips. Well... .I need to think about this matter carefully..."
"So, where is that little girl?" someone asked, making a gesture of cutting her neck: "Should we find her to vent your anger?"
"Well..."
"You'd better...don't even think about it."
Several people stopped and turned to look forward, only to see a masked man in a black cloak blocking them.
