"that……"
"……What's wrong?"
"I want...I want..."
"Um?"
"No, it's nothing."
The small living room has returned to calm with the departure of a certain landlady, but this calm has lasted longer with the silence of Duan Qing and Qian Zhihe. The girl is still embarrassed. Sitting on the sofa and rubbing his hands for a long time, his expression gradually turned gloomy: "I just feel... I just feel... I have always been troublesome for you, brother, during this period of time..."
"..."
"This group gathering was supposed to be a time for everyone to have a good time together, but in the end, because of some... some private wishes of mine, I have been stuck with you for so long..."
"Anyway, the game is over." The girl's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally became like a mosquito: "Should I...should I go back?"
"...If you want to leave, of course I won't stop you."
Duan Qing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "But...if you think you are leaving because you are causing trouble to me, I won't agree with this."
He turned his head and looked at the door not far to his left. The door there was still shaking in the gusts of night wind, and seemed to be silently whispering about the scenes that had happened before - - A heavyweight landlord is naturally not the kind of person who will leave if he fails to achieve his goals, so Duan Qing still used the tricks he had learned in the past three years until he promised that he would kill his former boss. After the wages she owed him had to be paid in advance, the aunt, with her hands on her hips, finally had the slightest idea of letting him go for the time being. Duan Qing, who felt that the murderous aura disappeared, naturally put on his usual smiling face again, and started a meaningless wrangling and chatting with the other party. However, the words coming from the aunt's mouth made the other two people present listen. It must be extremely awkward.
"It's not that I don't believe you can't pay the rent, but I haven't seen you for two months in a row. Do you have a girlfriend, so you can't wipe out this reputation?"
"...No, no, it's impossible. I've just been too busy in the past two months, so I forgot about it. Besides, she's not..."
"I know that after a man has a woman, his expenses will naturally increase. What's more, it's normal for a beautiful little girl to keep chopping off her own hands..."
"Hehe...hehe..."
"Auntie, I've been here before, and I know the mentality of you young people now. But you have to be careful. It doesn't matter if it breaks your stomach. If you break my house..."
So what exactly are you worried about...
Withdrawing his thoughts sadly, Duan Qing stood up and walked to the girl. He first looked at the crying face for a while, then sighed and patted the girl on the shoulder: "Just like that landlady. It's the same as what I said. A pretty girl like you lives with someone like me. It doesn't look like a normal relationship, but I won't go against your wishes. After all, according to normal logic, You are the one who suffered the loss. That guy from Qicai Lingguang hasn't contacted me for so long. I can't believe it myself, so... if you want to go home, I can take you to the station now. .”
"...Brother Qingshan, don't you have..."
"there is nothing?"
"...Don't you have any feeling?"
"..."
The four eyes collided in the air, and then hurriedly left in their respective directions. Duan Qing, who also became a little embarrassed, pinched his nose, and finally said hesitantly: "I... Anyway, I am competing. I have also made a lot of money from my commentary, so there won’t be any problems like you are worried about. If you are serious..."
"No."
The girl quietly looked at Duan Qing's face, but in the end she smiled shyly: "According to the original plan, I should also go home in the past few days to reassure my brother, so that I can know something about you... I'm already very happy. The fate between us appeared so early, starting from the fortress, and we should spend a lot of time together in the future... right?"
"Well, I know you've been hiding the fact that you live here with me..."
"But the leader and the others all know."
The girl clapped her hands and stood up, her voice regaining its former lively and youthful tone: "Because of what happened last time, they almost got into trouble. It's already a great blessing for me to be able to have you alone for so long! Since there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and the separation is only temporary, I will go pack my luggage and leave early tomorrow."
"Next time, I will live here in a more formal capacity!" She said with a blushing face, "I promise!"
"...Have you really thought about it?"
"Yeah, I've thought about it."
The girl looked at Duan Qing intently for a while, and finally suddenly took the other person's hand: "It's you..."
"Uncle, it seems you haven't thought about it yet."
She smiled sweetly, slowly took two steps back, and then jumped back into her temporary bedroom just like she had just come to this place before. After scratching his head and ears in confusion for a while, Duan Qing finally gave up on the idea of finding out what the other person was thinking, then grabbed the water glass on the table and walked back with a sigh: "Hey, are all girls nowadays so straightforward? And She is such an outstanding girl, I can’t even believe it... huh?"
He was stunned for a while, his eyes resting on his communication ball for a moment, then he quickened his pace and rushed back to his game cabin. The cabin that has been used as a bed for many days looks the same as usual. The left and right sides of the luxurious cabin door have been flashing cool red and blue lights. Only the interior of the cabin that is reflected through the cabin door is echoing with There was a notification sound like a communication ball outside: "You have a new message, please check for it——"
The man's head sank into his cabin, and he operated with some difficulty for a while. Finally, he hesitated and poked his head in, giving up the idea of helping Qian Zhihe pack his luggage: "Why do I like to rush in at the same time... …”
He quickly entered the game, appeared under the clear sky of Tania, and then after a while of identifying the direction, he walked towards the direction of the Parliament Square. Pedestrians were also walking on the street where Duan Qing was, and some were pointing in the direction of where they were stationed from time to time. Without paying attention, he quietly left the sight of passers-by, and then he was inexplicably appeared one by one. The figure blocked the ramp to the square.
"Hey, Brother Fang, long time no see...our order? Of course you want it! Although we are just a small team, we won't owe a penny on the bill..."
"Brother Zhangkong? Why are you here... Yes, the battlefield dungeon should not have stabilized yet. You and the other groups must be waiting for good news... Drinking? No, no, I have something else to do. , there is something else..."
"Ah, isn't this Brother Tie? Why are you still working hard on your station? No, no, I didn't mean to ridicule you. We are all brothers. Have you ever seen us do anything immoral? Uh. ...Our camp is indeed very big, but there is no free space. You don’t know those people. They cleared out the big yard without saying a word. With their faces like those of the nouveau riche, even I This teammate can't stand it anymore... What? Are you kidding? Don't tell me whether there is any precedent. I can't make the decision on such a matter. If you want to discuss it, you'd better discuss it with our team leader. I have something else to do. ...something really happened..."
After going through all kinds of hardships, Duan Qing finally squeezed to the front of the Parliament Square, then straightened his neck and looked into the crowd that seemed to never stop. As expected, the figure in a black cloak who was waiting for him disappeared in the place where he had been squatting for several days. He sighed helplessly, and then looked around uneasily towards the parliament hall. Xiang walked over and said, "You didn't run inside to find me, did you?"
"……It's you."
A rather familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and then as Duan Qing turned his head, a scar-faced face was reflected in front of him: "It seems... you also care about the principality. Yes."
"...They didn't even give me a chance to watch the Chamber of Secrets again. I still care about what they do."
Duan Qing uttered these meaningless words angrily, and crossed his arms: "What are you here for, Duan Fenglei? Why don't you go and fight your pursuit..."
"That's exactly what I wanted to say."
Looking at Duan Qing with lowered eyelids, the scar-faced man put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky in the west of the city: "We... plan to move out of this place."
"...What did you say?"
"We Jianghu are planning to change our base to another place."
Pointing slightly behind Duan Qing, Duan Fenglei smiled slightly: "I'm here today to apply for a change of residence."
"Replace?" Duan Qing's face became even more surprised: "Where to replace it?"
"Anta Town, Fars Fortress, and in the future... may even move to Zaraha City." Duan Fenglei replied in a low voice: "Wherever we can fight back the imperial people, we will move our base there. .”
"...After hearing this, you are really ruthless." Duan Qing smiled and pinched his brows: "But doesn't this fulfill the Wings of Freedom's wish? They want to drive you away from Tania. The thought of leaving is not just for a day or two..."
"Taking us away from Tania will only make their fate more tragic."
The aura of the middle-aged man rose inexplicably for a moment, and then gradually dropped as his expression: "What's more... the value of the fortress and Zaraha City may not be much lower than the current Tania, don't forget In order to investigate that ancient city, even the members of the Mages Council stayed there for a long time."
"...What about Tania? Don't care?"
"As long as you are here, we... don't care."
Duan Fenglei took a deep look at the other party and said calmly: "Since you are here, we'd better stay as separate as possible. I also sincerely hope... that you don't follow us here."
"You have gained enough credit. Let us take care of the rest of the battlefield." He turned around and walked towards the depths of the crowd: "Based on my past experience..."
"There is absolutely nothing good that can come from being with you."
"snort……"
After looking at the place where the man left for a long time, Duan Qing finally just snorted, then withdrew his gaze and walked towards the parliament hall where he originally wanted to go. But the next moment, his steps were stopped again, because an equally familiar figure also appeared in front of Duan Qing.
"……It is you."
"Why, don't you recognize me?"
Looking at the man with the big sword alone, Duan Qing touched his nose and lowered his head with a smile: "How is that possible? We are old friends..."
"Of course, they are also old rivals."
Aqiang, codenamed, showed a stern expression, and then slowly calmed down: "Don't think that if we cooperate with your work once, the debt between us will be wiped out. What happens in the future... we still have to wait and see. !”
"……Where is your wift?"
"What are you doing? You want to fight?"
"No, just...hehe."
Recalling the naughty smile of the girl who held his hand not long ago, Duan Qing, who was touching his nose, let out a few inexplicable muffled laughs, and then before the man opposite got angry again, he walked towards the smaller crowd. The place took two steps back: "If I remember correctly, I should have said before that I will no longer pay attention to you, so as an advanced suspension car... you don't care about me, the spare tire of the last century, okay? "
"...Hmph! Moshang Qingshan..."
"After Jiang Hu leaves, you should have more room for development in Tania."
Changing the topic calmly, Duan Qing said in a low voice: "Although our small adventure group has gained a lot of benefits this time, it has no intention to develop and grow. A big company like your Chihun Guild, please don’t take us seriously. If there are no accidents... there should be no intersection between our two teams."
"...This is best, because I don't want to see you again."
The man, who was rarely alone, tilted his head and thought for a while, then put the sword on his shoulder: "No matter who you are, our Red Soul... will definitely develop into the strongest guild in the free world."
"Just wash your neck and wait."
"...I do have one more question."
Looking at the figure of the man trying to leave, Duan Qing suddenly asked: "The man who came to your guild temporarily...the man named Spartak, where has he gone now?"
"...He has left."
The codename Aqiang paused for a moment, and then replied without looking back: "Should..."
"It must be heading east."
