Duan Qing himself doesn't know what happened after that, because the two parties in the negotiation have become the presidents of the two guilds, and as the initiator, he left the front of the chaotic battlefield early, and then took it with him The figure of the red-haired girl returned to a hiding spot near the south gate of Tania City. It seemed that Mengzhu and Xiao Hongchen had been waiting here for a long time to chat with each other, and her first words when she met Duan Qing were full of provocation: "Hey, hey... how does it feel to be chased?" Sample?"
"...I'll have to settle accounts with you sooner or later."
"Come to me now if you have the ability. I can't wait."
"..."
"Or you can tell me your address and I can deliver it to you in person."
"...No need."
After looking at the other party with a troubled expression for a long time, Duan Qing finally comforted himself with the idea of "not caring about women", then gave up on this impossible battle and turned his attention to today's plan. : "Where's Ninglan?"
"Sister Ninglan should have already gone in." Mengzhu, who had eaten and drank enough, was the first to answer: "She said she would wait for us at the high platform of the edict, and then report the surveillance situation to us... She is here What are you monitoring? Why don’t I know?”
"Well, you'll know when we go there."
Touching the girl's golden hair, Duan Qing turned his head when the girl shook her head unwillingly: "So... what about you? You shouldn't have been making a small report all night, right?"
"I'm not like you, I'm just a loner." Xu Yuliu nodded his toes and brushed his long blue hair with one hand: "They said... there was no movement. There was no suspicious person around the entire furnace. Above. The President was also busy all night and seems to have never left."
"The lights in the parliament hall were on all night, and many members and guards stayed up all night." Speaking of this, the blue-haired woman showed an incomprehensible smile: "What a good president."
"Are we...really going to deal with that guy?" Qianzhihe asked uneasily, "The principality is now like this..."
"Even if the principality is destroyed, players will still play how they want. As long as you don't take the tragic experiences of those NPCs to heart, there is nothing to worry about." Duan Qing said comfortingly, and at the same time he seemed to be Comforting myself: "And judging from the current situation..."
"Dealing with this guy might solve the crisis in the principality."
"That's right! I've long disliked that old man!"
Before the other party could comprehend the meaning of these words, Xiao Hongchen jumped up and shouted: "How dare you arrest our great Fool Adventure Group? You are simply asking for death! According to the rules of our road, such people are We should drag it out, cramp the bones, and then whip the corpse, eight hundred times first, and then..."
"Have you met that old man before?" Duan Qing slapped him on the shoulder: "It's not pleasing to the eye for a long time...Have you been to Tania before?"
"Uh...ah hahaha." The shirtless man scratched his head: "No, this is not to increase our momentum first. Momentum is very important for things like fighting..."
"Then you wait until the fight starts. What's the use of shouting now?" Duan Qing said angrily, and then looked at the city gate where there were more and more people coming and going: "It's getting late... Let's go in first. Let’s see if there is any new progress, if not…”
If not, there is nothing they can do now.
The routine meeting with Hank made little progress. Duan Qing led the team several times and finally found a way to return to the Adventurers Association, where the surveillance had been relaxed. Then he learned from Felicton that He received the news that all affairs of the Fool's Adventure Group had been sealed. According to the president, he was already taking a huge risk by keeping the adventure group's brand, and it was even more difficult to eliminate this situation from the front. The noble-like middle-aged man once suggested that they find other powerful nobles in the hope of having a few good words in front of Horsman. However, Duan Qing, who had already met the president, did not accept the offer. This proposal was because he understood certain positions and knew that even if Pamir came forward in person, the persuasive effect would not be much.
Of course, speaking of the Speaker who was still in bed, they also met some acquaintances on the way, such as the lovely nurse Anweina.
"How is the Speaker's injury?"
"It's pretty good, but I seem to be in a bad mood." She replied at the time: "Especially these two days, my brows are almost knitted together... What, do you have anything important to convey?"
"...No, I will go by myself if something happens."
"By the way, I heard from the Speaker... You saved us that night, and I haven't thanked you yet! When will you have time? Please allow me to prepare. My craftsmanship is still very good..."
"No need." Duan Qing replied: "What I lack most...is time."
After passing through several streets and alleys, and knocking out the heads of several patrol guards at the same time, relying on their skills and a few people who were familiar with the terrain, they finally sneaked to Yarraford Street in the Yar neighborhood, planning to look for some clothes to change at the same time. , and make some necessary preparations for their future actions along the way, which can be regarded as temporarily arming themselves. However, this area itself is not a lively player trading market. There are not many high-level players who sell handmade products, so there are not many good goods that can be found here. Except for ordinary weapons and equipment that are almost the same as those in stores, Most of the other items are leftover from the manual work in blacksmiths and sewing shops. Apart from the higher level of demand and the appearance of being standard, they have no real use at all.
"Instead of using the equipment here, it's better to use your own." This was Xu Yu Liushang's evaluation after shopping around for a long time.
"No way, let's make do with it first." Duan Qing replied: "If it doesn't work, let's go to Old Hunchback's place and carry two boxes back to try our luck..."
"That's right! Can we make that kind of grappling hook?" Mengzhu suddenly shouted excitedly: "The kind that can fly over walls and fly over walls in the competition?"
"Do you think you are playing a second-generation virtual game? You will use it automatically when you get it?" Duan Qing retorted mercilessly: "I don't care whether that kind of juggling thing is useful or not, even if it is distributed now If you are the only one, you will definitely not be able to use it well. You don’t have two or three months to practice, so you can only use it to kill yourself..."
"Besides, Tania's terrain is flat, there are no high walls, and props like grappling hooks...are really not of much use." Xu Yu Liushang also explained in a low voice: "If you want to climb Falling Star Mountain, I might I would suggest you prepare a few..."
"Brother Qingshan has already been to that place." A red-haired girl behind Duan Qing held a staff and laughed: "Now that I think about it... it's incredible."
"He can always do things that many people can't do." Xu Yu Liushang pointed at the man and said, "So don't worry, your brother Qingshan will protect you... things will definitely be safe this time." spent.”
"What do you want to do? Do you want to make it up to me?" Duan Qing looked at the other party with squinted eyes, and picked up a pair of iron boots placed at the door of a blacksmith shop: "If you say so many good things to me now, I'm afraid it's not behind your back. Are you planning something bad... Well, a pair of iron boots actually adds two points of agility, which is a model of uniqueness. Do you want a pair?"
"Keep it to yourself."
"I have a pair of wolfskin boots. They have a little strength and agility. They are a specialty of Novice Village. You deserve them!"
"Hey, you dare to show off such a weak thing. Do you want me to give you some money?"
"……No."
Answering the other party's words expressionlessly, Duan Qing walked to the side of the blacksmith shop, a rather mysterious looking shop. A variety of tapestries and small bottles and jars are placed jinglingly around this small shop. There are also many books and scroll-like things mixed in, and some bottles and jars contain many strange liquids, animals and plants. The materials also add a more mysterious atmosphere to this place. Surrounded by staffs of different lengths, several players were sitting side by side on seats in one of the corners, looking nervously behind the counter in the middle and glancing at Duan Qing, who had just come in from the door. The next moment, the uninterrupted buzzing behind the counter gradually disappeared, accompanied by a little bit of fluorescent light emitting from that place: "...It's done."
A player sitting at the front suddenly got up from his seat, and then took an arm armor from an NPC dressed as a mage behind the counter with excitement: "Thank you, master!"
"Master? I am Kathleen, not a master."
A calm female voice behind the counter replied: "You're lucky, go back."
"thanks, thanks……"
The player turned around overjoyed, then passed Duan Qing in the envious eyes of other players and walked out the door. Only the other player present respectfully handed over another piece of equipment. With a lot of gold coins and Duan Qing's incomprehensible eyes. He took two steps back and looked up at the store's house number. After confirming that there was nothing written there, he looked at his smiling teammates behind him with some confusion: "Why are you laughing? Hurry up. introduce……"
"You're old-fashioned, I don't know." Mengzhu jumped up first, and then dragged him out of the door as if he was afraid of embarrassment: "This is Kathleen's enchantment shop."
"Enchanted... enchanted?" Duan Qing's eyes burst out with more strange light: "Is there really such a store?"
"I told you the day you arrived." The little girl's face immediately showed a hint of dissatisfaction: "I'm always lazy and don't do anything on commission. No wonder I don't know anything..."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong." Duan Qing immediately admitted his mistake: "Then what's going on with this store...?"
"It's just an ordinary enchantment." The little girl looked at Duan Qing with suspicion: "Are you a former professional player? Do you want me to explain this kind of thing to you?"
"No, no, no, I mean...why did such a store suddenly appear?" Duan Qing pointed at the players who were still queuing up and said, "Has this place been so famous before?"
"Because the player's strength has improved and it has reached a certain bottleneck."
The person who answered Duan Qing was not the teammates present, but a scholar in black who walked from the street: "The equipment he can obtain has reached the limit of his current strength. The parts are complete, the accessories are complete, and even the gems and inlays are complete." I have tried my best, so...the only way left is to look at the appearance of enchantment."
"You know, attaching magic effects to equipment is a business that can easily fail." He said with a smile.
"...Floating dreams?" Duan Qing's eyes showed a little surprise: "Why are you still here?"
"Soon, you will see more famous people here." Fusheng Limeng replied with a smile, and then bowed slightly to the person beside him: "Nice to meet you, Miss."
"They...actually know each other?"
Seeing the blue-haired woman smiling and nodding, Mengzhu whispered to the teammates next to him: "You are still from such a big guild..."
"Shh, don't let your sister Liushang hear this. She is very annoyed by these things."
Duan Qing replied in a seemingly small voice, and then put on his usual smile at the visitor again: "What did you just say? What does more people... mean?"
"Tanya is now the center of the whirlpool, I think you should be aware of it." The scholar in black turned to look at Duan Qing: "Many people are waiting for the changes to appear and the final result. If necessary... they also I will stretch out my hand and break off part of the existing cake..."
"Although we, Wizard, usually don't pay much attention to the situation on this continent, but... we will also intervene when it is critical."
"Here we go again." Duan Qing pinched his brows: "Why are everyone so sure of the demise of the principality? Aren't you afraid that they will make a huge comeback in the end?"
"No one dares to say that they have captured all the benefits, because no one can predict the future." The scholar in black replied: "We will only make the most beneficial choice for us based on the current situation, and Under the current situation, no one thinks that the Principality will win, and even negotiation and cession cannot save them."
"The failure is obvious, and it has reached 90% in my eyes, or...do you have something that can change my mind?" At this point, he changed the subject: "As long as possible, it is not impossible to cooperate with you. Possible things, after all..."
"With your status, you deserve our respect." Fusheng Limeng spread out a hand: "And our trust."
"I don't have any lofty ideas. I just want to protect ourselves." Duan Qing shrugged needlessly: "The affairs between your guilds have nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you like."
"Oh? But judging from the recent situation... you haven't given up yet?" The scholar smiled and blinked: "We are Wizard, and we know some of the inside stories."
"...What do you know?"
"There are many, such as the news that this place hides a melting pot, such as the news that someone is about to be ousted, and such as..."
"The news that the Mages Council is about to take action here."
He looked at Duan Qing's gloomy face and grinned slowly.
