"Oh my gosh, what's going on here?"
"The prisoners of war are missing! All the prisoners of war here are missing!"
"Captain Macol is also dead...inform Lord Padres quickly!"
"There's an intruder! Alarm! Alarm!"
"So... you also received this mission?"
Outside the Banhe stronghold, in the grass beside the river, a large number of people who had just ran out panting were sitting in various places here, recovering the physical strength of the characters and the energy that was consumed due to tension. In the camp behind them, the commotion was continuing and spreading, but it seemed to have nothing to do with these people, because they had already walked out of the camp with someone's cover. .
And the team this person was in was an acquaintance of Duan Qing.
"As for the mission, everyone here may receive it, right? This is not an ordinary game. It is common for everyone to crash into a car."
The colorful spirit sitting next to him smiled happily, then put his hands behind his back and simply lay down in the grass about half a person high: "But...it's lucky that you are lurking above, as long as you don't hit too hard."
"It seems...that guy Wood is asking for help from others." Duan Qing said: "Should we ask him more for some rewards..."
"Under normal circumstances, the NPC will distribute our rewards in full." Colorful Emmanuel's voice emerged from the grass: "However, if there are more than two teams, there may be accidents in determining that the task has been completed. But we have With prisoners of war as evidence, there should be no problem..."
Looking at the prisoners of war from the principality who had just been untied not far away and were now drinking water to rest and recover, Duan Qing shook his head with a sigh: "I really didn't expect..."
"I'm actually able to meet you again."
"The territory of the fortress is so big, it's only a matter of time before you encounter something like this by chance." Qicai Lingguang said with a smile: "Haven't you met anyone you know before?"
"Well, I met you, but I'm not from this area." Thinking of a handsome guy in a windbreaker, Duan Qing smiled bitterly: "The rest of the people... I've just come here anyway, so we are We’re not very familiar with each other, so they shouldn’t be considered acquaintances, right?”
"You, you, are still so heartless and unjust." Qicai Lingguang breathed out: "Let me tell you, Xiao Qian's anger... still hasn't gone away."
"I can tell."
After saying these words, Duan Qing looked at the red-haired girl in the other direction. The latter let out a cold snort that could be heard by the whole world, and then turned away.
"Oh My God……"
So Duan Qing shook his head again and smiled bitterly.
"How have you and Qingtian been doing lately? Have you gone to get the key to level five?"
"What else can we do? Rather than saying that this is a place full of high-end players, it is better to say that this is a place for retirement. Those who should leave should leave, and those who should retreat should retreat. The rest of us are not used to the life here. There's just no place to go... In short, just continue to mix in the struggle with the empire." Qicai Lingguang looked at Qingtian who was accompanying Qian Zhihe, and said with some helplessness: "As for those keys... …I still have mine, but those two people used it.”
"Oh? Did you get anything good?"
"Xiao Qian is lucky, he changed to a better staff, but Qingtian..." Qicai Lingguang shook his head: "That weapon is not suitable for him, but..."
"Well……"
After observing Qingtian's surroundings, Duan Qing smiled: "It's nice to change your style occasionally..."
"I know... when you first came here, we did a lot of abrupt things." Qicai Lingguang was silent for a while, and then whispered: "But... please don't mind it, after all, the people here have been around for a long time. Now, many behaviors have become habits.”
"I understand this." Duan Qing nodded: "I am like this. Many of my habits of pretending have been given up in the end. As for my nature, it is still a bit difficult to change."
"...Brother Mo is also an old player, right?"
"Yes, I have played a lot of games, but I haven't played them much since I retired."
"It seems...Brother Mo has also experienced a lot."
"Of course, there was a group calling for people two days ago, saying that there was a shortage of four, and anyone could come and set off. But as soon as I entered, I asked about this and that, for fear that I wouldn't be able to tell that they were a group of relatives and friends... Hey, If you want to hack my stuff, are you a little too young..."
"Well, that's not what I meant... forget it."
Qicai Lingguang looked at Duan Qing's face, shook his head after a while and said: "Anyway, we are all familiar with each other. In the future... there will be many opportunities to cooperate with each other."
"How about we get to know each other better then?"
"Hehehehe, easy to say, easy to say." Duan Qing tugged at the corners of his lips: "But... I am just a savage. I have no family fortune and no connections. Apart from my own skills, I probably can't offer anything. Something worth looking at. And..."
"Personally, I still like the feeling of taking risks by myself."
"Is that so?" Looking at the pricked up ears of the girl who came out not far away, Qicai Lingguang smiled bitterly and shook her head: "If you put it like that... she looks very similar to that person."
"You mean..."
Duan Qing's eyes turned to another corner - that man had just taken off his military uniform and was playing with a girl who had just ran over to join the Colorful Emmanuel Team. Judging from the expression on his face, the relationship between the two players, a man and a woman, seems to be unusual. However, what is more concerning is that the harmonious atmosphere between the two players seems to be different from those present. Others are invisibly separated from each other, as if they are a world of their own.
"That guy named Spartak?" Duan Qing said slowly, "I've heard his name several times before..."
"How does it feel?"
"The feeling...is indeed different from the rumors."
"Crazy Spartak." Colorful Emmanuel shook his head: "Strong strength, bold style, and... unscrupulous. Anyone who has dealt with him can probably apply these similar words to him, but I have to say... In addition to his personality, this guy still feels very reliable, and he is also a first-class expert in completing tasks. The idea of impersonating an imperial officer this time was also his idea."
"The acting looks very similar, right?"
"It's okay." Duan Qing nodded and said, "But in the end...you still have to rely on your fists to do the talking."
"If you don't rush in, we will rush in." Qicai Lingguang shook his head and said: "That was originally part of the plan, prepared to prevent accidents from happening, but you happened to be there, so you were robbed. Just leave."
"Hey, you don't know how angry that guy on the ladder is." Duan Qing said with a smile: "The fight didn't end, he didn't do anything, he just walked out..."
"That's just a superficial phenomenon." Qicai Lingguang also laughed: "He couldn't tell how happy he was to be able to complete the task so easily... What he was unhappy about was that the entire task was too simple at most, and there was nothing to brag about when he returned. .”
"Maybe." Looking at the two unobtrusive players, Duan Qing pondered for a while: "That little girl...who is she?"
"You mean Beancake Cat?" Qicai Lingguang said: "That little girl has been with Spartak since he appeared here. I heard him introduce himself as his sister, but judging from the behavior of those two people, Come and see..."
"I feel more like a couple."
Duan Qing took over his words: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, maybe it's because I was taught well..."
"Brother Mo is joking." Qicai Lingguang immediately darkened his face: "Anyway... I won't teach my sister like this."
"Hahahaha! You didn't expect it, it turns out I am such a person..."
Duan Qing laughed for a while, then stood up: "We are so in agreement, we should be able to talk, right?"
"Brother Mo, what are you going to do?" Seeing Duan Qing walking towards the other brother and sister, Qicai Lingguang hurriedly sat up: "That guy has a bad temper..."
"Isn't it just one point in the second grade?" Duan Qing said without looking back: "Don't worry... I understand."
Ignoring Colorful Spiritual Light's persuasion, Duan Qing walked directly across the grass for more than ten steps and came to the laughing brother and sister: "Hello."
"Oh, it's you."
Taking off the little girl who was almost sitting on him, Spartak suppressed his smile and said calmly: "You did a good job just now."
"It's still worse than you."
Duan Qing smiled and sat next to him: "To be able to come up with such an idea and dare to actually go up and beat someone, such courage... ordinary players don't have it."
"Of course, my brother is the best player!"
The little girl on the side yelled, and then was slapped on the head by Spartak: "Don't worry, I'm just... good at these things."
Although the words he spoke were modest, judging from his flat tone and the cold expression on his face, this guy in black clothes and a black cape didn't even mean to say more, and he didn't seem to intend to answer more. problem. But Duan Qing was not someone who would be dismissed so easily. He looked at the little girl clinging to him and smiled inexplicably: "Your... um, I heard that this is your sister?"
The other party didn't answer, but his eyes gradually became colder.
"You seem to have a good relationship... Don't get me wrong, I'm just talking." Feeling the cold gaze, Duan Qing waved his hands in a funny way, then sat upright again: "I heard that you are here too. The battlefield of the fortress has been going on for some time, but your name should have been released earlier than this..."
"Crazy Outlaw... Judging from this title, you must be a very powerful guy, right?"
"What do you want to do?"
After a long while, the man opposite Duan Qing made a suppressed voice: "Which team are you from? Jianghu? Wings of Freedom? Or the second best in the world?"
"I am a free person." Duan Qing seemed to have been misunderstood by the other party. Duan Qing shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It has been a long time since I have been an experienced player in the game, so I am very interested in rising stars like you..."
"Hmph...I won't believe this kind of nonsense."
After saying this, Spartak turned away, as if he didn't intend to say anything more. Seeing his brother's attitude, the little girl on the side also stuck out his tongue at Duan Qing and made a face. , and then hid in the man's arms.
It seems...disliked.
Feeling this man's strong wariness and the world's malice, Duan Qing stood up in distress, holding his forehead, turned around, and planned to leave this two-person world and go to inquire elsewhere. But just when he wanted to leave, the man's voice came from behind him: "Wait a minute."
"What did you ask when we were in the military camp?"
Not long ago, when all the prisoners were cleared in the small courtyard where the prisoners were held in the Banhe stronghold, and when the players were planning to leave with the prisoners of war, Duan Qing once asked a few words to the prisoners of war in the cage. However, due to the emergency, those present at the time The players didn't seem to take Duan Qing's behavior seriously, and just planned to leave as soon as they succeeded. Unexpectedly, the character who played the role of an officer and was at the center of the plan actually noticed his actions and chose to ask at this time. come out.
"What did I ask?" Duan Qing replied: "Of course it's to confirm their identity. Otherwise, what if I rescue the wrong person?"
"Is your target also the man named Casson?" Spartak asked in a low voice.
"Casson? Who is that?"
Duan Qing turned around and asked: "Isn't the person you want to save the brother of Adjutant Wood? His name is Ullman..."
"I don't know." Spartak said coldly: "I only know that the person our captain wants to save in the mission has some relatives with that Wood..."
"Eh? Does he have several brothers?" Duan Qing said with some confusion: "How strange..."
"Hey……"
Another sneer came from Spartak's mouth, and then sank as the man lowered his head, which seemed to indicate that the guy did not intend to speak again. Duan Qing, who understood what the other party meant, turned around again, and his voice gradually became distant with his footsteps: "Don't worry about such small details, maybe the system is specially designed so that our different teams can distinguish the targets. , so that rewards can be distributed reasonably..."
The man behind said nothing, and Duan Qing's face, whose back was facing that direction, slowly sank.
This task... doesn't seem that simple.
The ladder in the distance and the grasshopper beside him seemed to have had enough chat, so he stood up and shouted to others to set off quickly, intending to rush back to Fars Fortress early and hand over their respective tasks to the two teams. Everyone who heard the gathering sound slowly stood up from the grass and gradually gathered at the same place. Amid the commotion of the crowd, Duan Qing slowly moved to the back of the team. He checked the positions of several haggard-looking prisoners of war who were still wearing the military uniforms of the Principality. He first checked back and forth for a while, and then moved closer to someone.
"You..." he asked in a low voice.
"Are you Ullman?" (To be continued.)
