Just as Duan Qing expected, in the few days until he received the letter, it was as if everyone in Tania City had discussed it and everything was calm again. Nature's Novel WWW. 』⒉The parliament, the nobility, the civilian faction, and even the old man who just appeared, the still silent black market, and the disappearing dark force all seemed to have lost their own power of action, allowing this idle world and strange balance to continue. Go down. However, as time goes by, the number of residents and players coming and going in the city has become less and less. Even passers-by and tourists entering from other places have become rare items on the street. Whenever there is something unknown. When new players break into the city, they can't help but ask around about what happened in this city where only guards patrol the streets. And whether they are players or aborigines, they almost only have one sentence to answer him.
"There's going to be a war."
Looking at the bare road outside the Adventurers Association, Duan Qing let out a long sigh and then continued to use his black dagger to sharpen the wooden stick in his hand: "Although it's very... I’m unhappy, but I have to admit... that old man’s speed at integrating forces is really extremely fast.”
"Probably because of the power that has been accumulated over a long period of time." Xuyu Liushang across the small table shook his head and replied: "That guy Pamir doesn't look like an old man, but this guy... should have been in office for at least several decades. Bar?"
"According to the laws of the principality, the speaker who presides over the work of the parliament should generally be nominated by the elected president." Duan Qing said sideways: "So no matter how you think about it... Pamir should be a member of Hosman. Why is it at this juncture..."
"It's not the same thing, is it?" Xu Yu Liushang shook his head: "This is not simple. In order to eliminate the influence left by Pamir's long-term presiding over the overall situation, balance the power he has obtained, and prevent his own status from being threatened... …Have we seen less of this kind of thing in the past?”
"...but these are extraordinary times." Duan Qing finally finished cutting the things in his hands, stood up, and handed the works in his hands to the counter of the association not far away: "That Horsman... A lot of forces can reach an agreement, so why is it that only Pamir can't reach an agreement? The Empire is about to attack."
"Perhaps there is some gap between them that we don't know about." Whispering words whispered: "Since he returned to power, it seems that he has not visited once..."
"...Is Pamir still in Valletta hospital?"
"I heard it's still there, but due to excessive damage to the ward, it has been moved to another room to recuperate." Xu Yu Liushang explained: "The fat man you mentioned is still staying by his side, so for the time being it seems that I haven’t heard any news about his accident…”
"If this momentum continues, we shouldn't have to worry about anything happening." Ruling the few gold coins he received in his hand, Duan Qing showed a helpless smile: "Even the Imperial people can just call over and be done with it. There is no need to play tricks..."
"...You actually did it?"
"What, don't you believe in my craftsmanship?"
Looking at the flickering eyes on the opposite side gradually widening, Duan Qing said with disdain: "I can carve gemstones with my bare hands with a boning knife. It's not easy to cut a stick..."
"Then you should open a shop on Alaford Street." The blue woman hit the other party unceremoniously: "And... you are so good, why don't you repair the knife yourself?"
"Uh...ah hahaha, don't you have no money?" So Duan Qing grabbed the back of his head again: "A penny can stump a hero, let alone a little guy like me, if it weren't for Mengzhu has not been online for the past two days, and I can’t even save these gold coins..."
"How many gold coins?" Xu Yu Liushang squinted his eyes: "I haven't seen you take any time off in the past few days. I'm afraid you have saved a lot of private money, right?"
"Not much, just a few hundred gold coins." Duan Qing exhaled: "The conditions are so bad now, it's hard to do business... You should know more about this than me."
"..."
The woman across the small table was silent for a while, then she put down the wine glass in her hand and slowly leaned back: "Things are not going well... That little girl Mengzhu has not been online for a long time. "
"Could something happen?"
"...I don't know." Duan Qing's voice also deepened: "I don't know her personally."
"I usually see you taking good care of that little girl, but I didn't expect you to be a passerby." Xu Yu Liushang changed her voice, and her fingers with an armored voice also spun in the air a few times, and finally pointed in front of Duan Qing: " Fortunately, people are so kind to you..."
"...Don't speak in that tone, we are still friends." Duan Qing said expressionlessly, and then lowered his eyes: "The messages to her have never been interrupted, and the money in the free world has not been spent randomly. Other than that, Besides... I am no longer the same person as before, and there is no other way..."
"I know, I know." Xu Yu Liushang repeated twice in a comforting manner, then put his hands together and tapped his chin: "Then...does anyone else know her contact information? She didn't have anything before. Friends or teammates or something?”
"...I have never heard of her having any other friends." Duan Qing recalled for a while: "As for teammates... I only know that she used to be a member of the Wings of Freedom before she met me."
"Wings of Freedom? What a coincidence." Xu Yu Liushang chuckled: "Why don't you ask the guy named Xue Ling Huan Bing to give it a try?"
"...It's impossible for her to know each other." Duan Qing shook his head: "The two of them just met in the Emerald Forest, and there was no intersection in the rest of the time... Before that, she should have been affiliated with another captain. An ordinary member in his name, at that time..."
Time passed slowly with Duan Qing's narration, and the blue woman's complexion also changed significantly with Duan Qing's few words: "Huh... So, she is also a pitiful person?
"Have you finally understood the good intentions of our chief?" Duan Qing clapped his hands: "Congratulations, congratulations... ouch."
After retracting her feet under the small table, the woman showed a calm smile again: "But...it is simply impossible to make me admit it with this little thing."
"Then why are you rushing to join the Fool's Adventure Group?" Duan Qing grinned and rubbed his calf: "Even here, I have to obey her orders honestly..."
"Because I am a good and capable member, unlike you... who likes to run around when you have nothing to do, and you still owe me one million gold coins..."
"...That's not the reason why you joined the adventure group. Did you pay to come in and watch the show every day? You all squeezed in one by one..."
"Ah! You are here!"
An excited girl's voice suddenly came out, startling the two people who were still talking: "I'm back!"
"Look, another example that you're talking about."
"……hateful."
"What's wrong?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing... Qian Zhihe, where have you gone? I haven't seen you in the past two days..."
"hey-hey."
The girl did not answer immediately, but snickered twice proudly: "Of course...to complete the mission!"
She shouted, and then held a fiery red staff hidden behind her back in front of the two people: "Dangdang! This is the reward I just got!"

"..."
The light in the association hall brightened for a moment with the appearance of the staff, and then returned to normal again, but the unusually red scene would not escape the sight of the surrounding people, let alone Duan Qing in front of him. The two of them chatted with Xu Yu. So they looked at each other, then stood up silently, walked forward from left to right, and picked up the unaware girl.
"Hey, what are you doing? Wait a minute, wait a minute, I can leave on my own, put me down..."
boom.
With a quick slam of the door, the girl who was at a loss for words waved the red staff in her hand and disappeared behind the door of a certain room, caught in the sight of several coveted eyes. After noticing this change in feeling, Duan Qing breathed a sigh of relief and then put down Qian Zhihe's arm and sat down on the floor of the room belonging to their adventure group: "Huh, I almost made a move... "
"Ah?" The red girl still opened her confused eyes: "What happened? Who did you attack?"
"Of course it's you!"
Duan Qing knocked the opponent on the head, and then grabbed the staff from the girl's hand with a pained expression, ran to the side and investigated carefully: "Such a good thing, if you put it in front of me, I will definitely I'll grab it! And... you tell me this is epic quality? With such low requirements, it also has five attributes, and comes with three special effects, and each one is stronger than the last? What the hell is this exclusive weapon? Are you the only one? Can people use it? Are we still playing a game?"
"Don't worry, he just has had bad luck recently, so he's a little excited." Whispering on the side explained with a chuckle, then crossed his arms and turned sideways: "However, this thing is indeed a bit... beyond our expectations. .”
"I got this after working hard on my mission." The girl curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and then proudly raised her waist: "How is it? Isn't it awesome?"
"Of course it's awesome. It's so awesome that everyone wants to rob it on the spot." Staring at the front end of the staff, a diamond-shaped square surrounded by a dark red halo, Duan Qing shook his head and whispered: "Don't you Have you ever heard of the principle that wealth should not be revealed? Those people outside are about to pounce on you..."
"They don't have the guts." Xu Yu Liushang showed a confident smile: "Whoever dares to come up... will be chopped alive."
"...Okay, okay, you are awesome."
Looking at the girl's still confused expression, Duan Qing spread his hands and handed the smooth staff to the blue woman: "You can still upgrade... What kind of mission would give such a good reward? Give me one Is it okay to fight?”
"Yes, it's the library from last time."
The girl recalled it for a while, and then she pulled her head and explained: "Last time... it was after the last event was disbanded. I was thinking about making more money, so I went back to the library and wanted to save my money. It was commissioned..."
"That commission is not...forget it, you continue."
"The curator didn't give me any work, he just asked me to sit there and read. Later...then my tutor came. He explained the situation casually, and then introduced me to my tutor. "
"tutor?"
"Yes!" Qianzhihe became obviously more excited when he said this: "Although she doesn't speak much, she is actually a very good person! She taught me a lot of magic skills and gave me There were many tasks for me to practice, and finally I was given a very difficult trial task..."
"Wait, wait, wait." Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt her: "You...you have become a disciple?"
"Ah, if you put it that way..." the girl reacted for a while: "It seems right."
"Then, can you continue to be an adventurer? There won't be any restrictions or requirements..."
"No, no, absolutely not." The girl waved her hand hurriedly: "I asked her about this from the beginning! I haven't joined the adventure group yet, how could I just give up like that..."
"Then, your master...oh no, mentor...will your mentor still care about you in the future? He won't let you do odd jobs as a follower, right?"
"What, what, the tutor is so kind to me!" The girl said dissatisfied: "How can it be so bad as you said? She not only taught me a lot of knowledge, but also cooked for me, such a big bison , she baked it in a flash, even more magical than that Rex! But...it seemed like she was in a hurry later, so she left the staff in a hurry..."
"So good? Then does your tutor still accept people? Is there a shortage of handsome and unrestrained people like me who are not afraid of hardship... Oops!"
A foot covered with iron boots appeared in the air and kicked Duan Qing aside, who was sitting on the ground again: "I will definitely not want a shameless guy like you."
"Damn it...why don't I have such good luck?" Duan Qing, who was lying aside, beat his chest and stamped his feet and said, "If I had known, I would have invested all my points in intelligence..."
"I don't know how she was chosen, but..." Xu Yu Liu's eyes turned around the staff again, and finally handed it back to Qian Zhihe's hand with her movements: "She I'm afraid their tutors only accept mages, otherwise you would have fallen into their eyes long ago after going to the library so many times... Well."
She paused as a beam of light began to appear vaguely in the corner of the room, and then reflected the figure of a maid: "...it looks very lively here."
"The results are out?"
"Yes." The maid bowed slightly: "Preliminary..."
"It's all over."
