Although Duan Qing's life only lasted more than twenty years, in his past experience, he was still forced to make many choices due to various reasons. These choices, big and small, are just like ordinary people. Some of them have no big ripples in his life, but some choices have made a huge impact on him, many other people, and even the world. Enough to change your destiny. However, part of this was foreseeable by Duan Qing himself. For example, eight years ago he made up his mind to devote his youth to the virtual game business; his decision five years ago created a powerful team with great achievements. The birth of; a series of events three years ago changed the lives of too many people, and at the same time made him what he is now. On the way to his achievements again and again, he also because of his own considerations, the wishes of his companions Considering the consideration of opponents, and even the situation of the family, he accepted or rejected the good intentions of many people, and even sacrificed the feelings of many people.
But for many choices, he himself doesn't know whether the final result is good or bad, and he doesn't even know what the impact will be on other people, or even the world - Duan Qing is a veteran player, a former professional player, But he is just an ordinary person. He cannot have such an incredible ability to predict the future. Therefore, in his eyes, he cannot foresee the expected consequences of many choices. He cannot even explain why he chose this way in the first place. What is the reason for doing it.
Just like the decision he makes now.
After finally arriving in Tania, he should have fought hard. For the sake of his companions, his guild, and his own livelihood, he had no reason to retreat at this time. But when he saw this former friend who appeared halfway and secretly protected them all the way and left in such an attitude, he felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and even he didn't know what it felt like.
Besides, he still hasn't figured out why this woman became like this.
"Mengzhu, you and Xiao Hongchen go to the city first." After a few seconds of pause, he finally made the same decision that he didn't know was right or wrong: "Remember to go to the Adventurers Association and talk to the person in charge there. Tell us about our adventure group..."
"Hey, what are you going to do?" Before Duan Qing could finish speaking, the little girl who noticed the clues interrupted him dissatisfied.
"Of course I am..." Duan Qing looked back at the far away figure, and finally took a deep breath: "Your sister Xue may have some... tasks to solve, so I’m going to help.”
"Anyway, in a city as big as the capital, there shouldn't be any security issues. You don't have to worry. You're just going to deal with some ordinary affairs and go around to make connections. You shouldn't offend any big shots. If it doesn't work, just go. When you're shopping, you can also feel the terrain along the way, just like we were in Fenghua Town..."
"I don't want it!" The little girl's golden ponytail shook like a whip behind her head: "We are a team, if we want to act, let's act together!"
"Yes, yes, it wouldn't be fun if you didn't tell us anything good..." Xiao Hongchen on the side also started to help.
"...We are all gone, what should we do with the adventure group? We finally came to Tania, we can't just give up, right?" Duan Qing shook his head and said: "The Fool Adventure Group still expects us to carry forward the success. Have you forgotten the plans you made along the way?"
"But, but..."
"Actually, if possible, I hope I can stay." Duan Qing laughed: "Just considering the reasonable distribution of our team's strength and the future of the team, this should be more appropriate, and I don't I know what kind of mission that woman has encountered. If it is difficult and the two of us can't handle it, it will be much easier to escape... Anyway, I'll leave it to you here."
While explaining the matter quickly, he took off the package he was carrying - inside it was some of the equipment they had acquired at Kalon Pass, and it had been carried by Duan Qing until now. He threw the bag to Xiao Hongchen, briefly explained some precautions, and finally took back his share of rations from it and hung it around his waist again.
"If you really can't find a place to stay, it's not too late to wait until I come back. Anyway, this thing is not necessary. It's enough for us to have a safe place to stay. It works well. I want to find a place to stay after I come back. Have a good time watching the game..."
"But, but..."
Mengzhu reached out and grabbed the hem of Duan Qing's clothes, causing Duan Qing to stagger as he was about to rush out: "But why are you going? This matter, this matter..."
"It's not very helpful to our team, is it?" Looking at the hesitant expression on the other party's face, Duan Qing smiled helplessly.
"Intuition." He touched the little girl's head, and then jumped aside when the girl scratched her head out of dissatisfaction: "Your uncle's intuition has always been very accurate, so...trust me. "
"Besides, poor Sister Xue, don't you want to help her?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he turned around and chased in the direction from which he came.
*********************
The Fire Moon in the free world seems to have reached its hottest period after entering February. Although it is not known whether the continental geography in this world is the same as in the real world, in terms of climate and temperature alone, its changes have been dramatic. It’s close to the level of change in the real world. The hot weather made work a chore, but such difficulties did not stop the enthusiasm of the players, especially those on the edge of the capital of the principality. Many of them had just obtained the Many of the people who had the right to build the residence and the rest were not very satisfied with the residence they had just built, so they also carried out various transformations and repairs. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the entire suburb of the capital is a scene of people working. Even in the eyes of passers-by, the walled city they built indiscriminately is like an illegal workshop without rules, but it does not prevent them from building their own homes. Momentum.
However, players in the construction process are bound to encounter bumps and bumps, and friction and gaps are commonplace. If the two guilds are located too close to each other, even when building a house, they must plan their respective plans first. Otherwise, when it is actually built, there will definitely be fighting due to uneven distribution of land. Not only will it waste people and money, but it will also create a problem. It can be said that the gain outweighs the loss. But even if the duty of care is fulfilled in all aspects, and prevention and precautions are taken to the extreme, problems will still arise, and grudges will still be formed. This is just like what countless players who have played various online games said, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes."
Nan Tieshan is one such example, and he firmly believes in that statement. So in the past, his attitude towards his enemies in the game was always the same as "fight if you want, stop talking nonsense", which was clean and neat without leaving any trace of human feelings. In his opinion, since with his bold and forthright temperament as a real man, there are still people who can't stand him and choose to go against him, what else is there to say?
Just hit it.
As a player who is good at fighting, Nan Tieshan's performance in virtual games has become better and better. This is not because he has any unique insights into martial arts, but because he has ordinary people's skills in physical skills. Incomparable talent. And since he was a child, he has dreamed of returning to the era of martial arts mentioned in early history, and being able to enjoy the feelings of grievances, chivalrous tenderness, etc. The birth of virtual games gave him such an opportunity, and at the same time, Give him the best space to perform.
So not long after his debut, he used his unique understanding of boxing to make a splash in the virtual game world. He even gained a reputation as an invincible figure and gathered a group of like-minded people. When everyone jointly formed the guild, they were all temperamental, and few of them knew anything about literature, so the name of the guild was casually called the Iron Fist Gang based on the idea of their boss.
After coming to the free world, Nan Tieshan relied on his own strength as usual, used his iron fist to carve out a world, and grabbed a piece of territory around the principality. However, the so-called Jianghu people have grievances everywhere, and he only came here not long ago. He and his group of brothers got into trouble with another local guild, and then started a fight based on their previous attitude of "not afraid of anyone". Although with their strength, the other party can't get any benefits from their side, but the endless fighting every day is of no use to the construction of their guild station, not to mention that he has never been from other places. They heard the news somewhere that the empire was about to arrive at their doorstep.
If the construction of the station cannot keep up, it may be unlucky in the end.
Although Nan Tieshan calls himself a son and daughter of Jianghu, he has nothing to do with the Jianghu guild, which is the number one in the alliance, so if a disaster strikes, hundreds of them may lose their lives. And now there are other guilds that are having trouble with me all day long. Today they send someone to cause trouble, and tomorrow they send someone to call for battle. It is really annoying - you know, their guild has been established a long time ago. , both in terms of personnel and defenses, are complete. If you continue to waste like this, not only will your station be unable to be built, but you will also probably fall into the other party’s tricks. Then the president of the guild will probably have stolen something in your own city. Having fun. Therefore, Nan Tieshan has been thinking about how to allow his hundreds of people to resist the other party's harassment and attacks while ensuring progress in the past two days. It was not until a few days ago that he finally heard the news from other players. , and then spent a lot of money to buy an order from the official of the principality.
To be precise, it was a request for help.
The so-called request for help will naturally not be directed at players like them, because until now, the people of the principality still have not regarded these adventurers, who are very weak in their eyes, as their last hope. Their request for help came from other forces located within the principality, including a few neutral organizations, local private soldiers located in the county, and some ethnic minorities who lived in remote areas all year round. Although these fringe personnel do not have many troops, they win because of their high quality, and most of them have some unique fighting methods of their own. If they can get their help, the principality may be able to reverse some situations on the frontal battlefield and even achieve some successes. Advantage. It stands to reason that such an errand cannot be sent to an "adventurer" like Nan Tieshan. However, the internal organization of the principality is too loose and the war is too urgent. As the highest organ, the parliament is always in such a situation. The decision was delayed for a long time, and in order to protect the local interests they represented, councilors rarely agreed to such a thing. Therefore, Pamir, who had been thinking very hard, finally decided to solve the matter in secret, hoping to have "patriots" "Be able to act as a lobbying messenger, persuading those private organizations and ethnic groups to come to Tania independently and contribute their part to the victory of the principality.
This secret commission was eventually regarded as some kind of deeply hidden task, and was taken into the hands of several major guilds closest to the center of power - or part of it.
The reason why Nan Tieshan worked so hard to obtain part of the authority from those big guilds was, on the one hand, because their contacts were pretty good, and on the other hand, it was also because those big guilds had no time to take care of so many tasks, and Nan Tieshan In the process of looking for helpers, Shan would probably be able to do something for the public good and establish good relations with those NPC forces that could help the principality, thereby strengthening the power of his guild. If handled properly, he might be able to have generals in his guild station in the future. They have their permanent soldiers, and they are of a special type, so that they can have more confidence when dealing with foreign enemies, including the crowing dogs, robbers, and thieves across the road. Since both parties have their own needs, they naturally hit it off. After going through all kinds of bargaining and promising not to forget their kindness if they get help from the forces, Nan Tieshan got the authorization for this "hidden mission" as he wished, and is ready to officially set off today to find help. .
Of course, the target he chose was the Nosir tribe, a high-mountain tribe living in the Andachel Mountains.
Although neutral organizations and local private soldiers are also good choices, they are not very suitable for Nan Tieshan's second purpose. If you want to draw the other party into your guild station, you can independently Helping them voluntarily without being criticized by the principality, this kind of independent ethnic group in the mountains is his best target. Moreover, he had heard that the people of the Nosir tribe had very strong fighting abilities. A few players who had been to the depths of Andachiel later revealed that they had seen these tribesmen in higher places in the mountains. And then... without exception, they didn't fight any of them.
After briefly explaining the matter, Nan Tieshan said goodbye to several old guys in the guild, and then embarked on his own journey. When passing by the camp on the other side of the road, he showed off his power at the gate of the other camp. After beating away a few minions and giving a warning, he left the place in a big way and found a passing carriage heading to the south of the principality.
"Hey! Stop the car! Did you hear me when I said stop the car? Can you fucking let me get in!"
The jolting sound of the carriage was getting farther and farther away, but Nan Tieshan had no chance to get up - he didn't have the ability to catch up with the carriage on two legs. There was no station next to the station, and there was no obligation to wait for him, so He could only look at the carriage going away and curse a few words, then squatted down and scratched his head helplessly, worrying about how he would reach his destination.
You can't really just walk along the mountain road... Huh?
"Those two over there, wait a minute!"
He shouted at the two players who were walking over not far away. One of them was holding the reins of a horse in his hand.
