Although some time has passed, everything that happened to Tania is still repeated in Duan Qing's mind, as if those incredible events happened yesterday. Player groups from outside the game have also begun to use their own methods to restore everything that happened on Fengyue Day in the New Calendar year one by one, trying to find out the true scene that happened on that day, and the sudden reversal of the plot between the principality and the empire. reason. Judging from the details dug up in the last game of the finals and the inferences researched through brainstorming, their collection and the wisdom of the crowd are not without any results. For example, they restored Valais The distribution of buildings on Tower Avenue led to the conclusion that the ambushers came from underground. For example, through the punishment and treatment of some nobles by the principality afterwards, they came to the conjecture that "the progress of street fighting was too slow because they were secretly obstructing it."
But for Duan Qing, who had personally experienced that process, these people's guesses were not accurate enough. At least they didn't know yet that the battle that day... had hostile players involved.
"They should be from the Free City."
Recalling the former professional identity of the demon hunter and the distribution of forces in the Free City, Duan Qing secretly came to this conclusion. Judging from the timing of their appearance that day and their cooperation with the black-clothed leaders, they were involved in this plan. The possibility is also extremely high. When contacted with the Hongshan Taoist group who had ambushed Tania City early and plotted against them several times, the conclusion that there are players following the restorers in an attempt to subvert the principality has become a certainty. - Since they have not returned to Tania to cause trouble, and the guy who was sent back to the hotel by the colorful spiritual light has never appeared in the major hotels, then either those people accidentally leaked the trace of the other party, or Those people have been resurrected and gone to other places...such a result.
Now it seems that the possibility of this point being the City of Freedom is extremely high, and this... is another reason why Duan Qing agreed to participate in the City of Freedom and his party.
"If they have such a large amount of energy, but can persist in the darkness for so long, then the possibility of no one supporting them is almost zero." Duan Qing whispered to himself: "Pvp in the free world cannot be fought. The term "supporting war" means that if you want to maintain this extremely purposeful state of existence for a long time... without the support of manpower and material resources, it is simply impossible."
"You...doubt them?"
"I hope it's a coincidence."
The two people under the shade looked at each other, and then sighed: "Otherwise... it would be a shame."
"We are going to the Free City. You probably want to find out their whereabouts, right?" The blue-haired woman asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid of falling into a trap? Their target is probably you..."
"That will have to wait until they confirm my identity."
Duan Qing smiled with a smile: "And about this... I'm not very sure myself."
"You, you..."
"Why, don't underestimate my change of surname. It's not that easy to prove that your father is your father! Of course... they might not be targeting me at all, but just want to rebuild A team and a club, and maybe we can participate in the UEFA Cup again..."
"The current professional circle has stabilized. Unless you train masters yourself, who will rashly join Xiangrui's banner?" The woman curled her lips disdainfully: "Unless they can pull out your banner..."
"Don't tell me, it's really possible for them to do this."
Duan Qing stretched out a finger, and then lowered his head sadly: "But... I don't think they will be so stupid. Based on my understanding... of them, it is enough to do such a thing once at most. , how could we make the same mistake again..."
"……What did you say?"
"nothing."
Looking at the movement coming from the motorcade, Duan Qing shook his head to himself, then moved his eyes away from a figure sneaking over and returned to the whispering figure: "In short, we are on the road to freedom. You should meet a lot of acquaintances in the city, and the status relationship in the game is also good. If something really happens, it shouldn't be unsustainable. It's really not possible... We can also contact the guilds that have roots there. Let's build a relationship, even if it's not for investigation, it's for the future development of our small team."
"Those guys don't have a very good relationship with me, so just give up." Xu Yu Liushang replied with a low smile: "But... if we talk about manpower, we shouldn't lose to others, don't forget I still have a bunch of younger brothers and sisters in my hands."
"Aren't you also very concerned about our guild?"
"Who am I doing for... You should know it in your heart. If that guy Jian Beidong hadn't come secretly to tell me, I might still be waving my sword stupidly in the wilderness."
"The heroic female swordsman... suits you very well."
"...Hmph, do you look down on my new career? Do you want to show me how?"
"That, that..."
A low-pitched inquiry suddenly sounded from around Duan Qing and Duan Qing, silently interrupting the conversation between them: "This eldest brother..."
"Oh, it turns out to be the leader of the Black Corn Group without the name Wool Ball! I'm glad to meet you, and I've looked up to you for a long time..."
"Uh, ah ha ha ha..."
Looking at Duan Qing, who suddenly put on a smiling face, the player who secretly approached scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "I... that, uh... you, are you the captain of this team?"
"The team also has a captain? Aren't they all called veteran drivers?"
With a strange expression on his face, Duan Qing finally nodded: "But...if you are referring to the command, I do also hold such a small position..."
"Ha, haha, hahahaha..." Then the player continued to laugh dryly for a while: "I, I heard it from the mouths of those cavalry, so, so... I was blind to the mountains before, Sir, do you want to Forgive me."
"We are all players, and there is no prank here, so don't be so polite." Duan Qing replied with a smile: "As for what happened before... I'm not a narrow-minded person like the Sword of Justice, so you just Stop worrying."
"Uh...hehehe, thank you very much."
The player named Black Corn rolled his eyes a few times, and then continued to laugh in agreement: "Well... I want to ask, where is this convoy going?"
"..."
"Ah, we want to go to Falling Star Mountain. We passed by this place, so we wanted to hitch a ride."
Seemingly remembering what he had said before, Black Corn hurriedly answered Duan Qing's weird face: "As the president and leader of the group, I have developed the old habit of bragging early on, so there were some before. Some offense... I hope this big brother can be more considerate."
"...Falling Star Mountain?"
"Yeah, there are a lot of people looking for the Castle in the Sky recently."
The player rubbed his hands and replied: "I heard that someone climbed to the top of Falling Star Mountain and discovered the secrets about the City in the Sky, so we also want to take a look there and try our luck..."
"...Could it be that Brother Tie sold it?"
"Brother Tie? What brother Tie?"
"Ah, nothing."
Waving his hand to the warrior-looking player, Duan Qing replied meaninglessly: "Blowjob is a science, and I also like to meet a lively person like you. As long as you remember to practice various correct postures in the future, We are still friends, so... don't worry, we won't blame anyone. As for the destination of this convoy..."
"We are going to the City of Freedom." Duan Qing whispered.
"Free City?" Black Corn's eyes lit up: "You, what are you doing there? Is there any important mission?"
"...Liu Shang, did you just say that you wanted to learn from each other?"
"...Why, are you interested?"
"If you're free, you're free. Just practice."
Ignoring the player's expectant look, Duan Qing stood up holding on to the tree trunk: "By the way, let's try out my new equipment and... your sword skills."
"...Hmph, I couldn't have asked for it."
"Hey, hey! You two..."
Two figures walking slowly towards the distance of the grass gradually drifted away as a certain player shouted helplessly. He took a long breath and then lowered his arms: "Yes, great opportunity... Ah ah ah ah ah!"
He turned his head and was startled by the sudden appearance of a maid behind him. Ningyu Ninglan, who kept her usual smile, nodded slightly and narrowed her eyes with curved eyebrows: "Sir, don't you plan to watch the battle?"
"Huh? Uh..." Then the player scratched the side of his face again: "Just right, just right. We have no name adventure group. We have admired masters from all walks of life for a long time. It is also a privilege to witness your strength..."
boom--
Before he could finish his words, a strong wind like a shock wave blew through the shade of the tree where the two of them were, knocking down the green leaves and causing the distant convoys and horses to scream. Several cavalry escorts roared to the side of the big tree, and then retreated again at the signal of Enyu Ninglan. The glances looking over there were also filled with countless surprises at this time: "This is, this is..."
"Do gods fight?"
Wisps of sword energy shot out from the far side of the lawn, whistling past their ears. The source of these attacks was ducking to avoid another sword energy attack, and then rolled onto its side. Among the sword marks next to it - the flat ground has lost its former vitality due to the plowing of countless sword energies, and has become a pitted scene. The flying soil is also affected by some kind of force. Time and time again, they turned into actual attacks and flew towards the other side: "You actually used magic?"
"Why, they are all my skills...can't you just use them?"
"Then, you are not allowed to use the Yi Sword!"
"This kind of thing...I won't use it even if you don't need to tell me."
An earth wall that rose up in a moment immediately rose in front of the blue-haired woman, blocking the flowing shadow she wanted to rush towards from her sight. Duan Qing, who chuckled, appeared in front of the earth wall. On the other side, he waved his irregular stone hammer. The glowing yellow hammer hit the surface of the earth wall at the next moment, easily smashing the earth wall into fragments all over the sky. Among the two weapons that were facing each other again, one of the weapons was But an imperceptible golden light once again rose on the surface.
"...You're cheating!"
Another wall of earth rose from under the feet of Xu Yu Liushang without any warning, pushing the figure of the female swordsman into the air. She let out a complaining cry, but the rapier in her hand never stopped at all: "Stab light——"
"drizzle!"
The clanking sound of stamping on the ground resounded in every corner of the lawn. It was the sound made by the subtle sword energy piercing the soil. Duan Qing, who was in the center of the attack range, took out a small sword from behind. The round shield, and then hit the surface of the shield with a hammer: "Drink!"
Boom!
The collision between the stone hammer and the shield, which glowed again, made a deafening noise, and then spread an earthy yellow light curtain around the lawn, and then formed a huge light curtain with the round shield as the center. curved barrier. The clanking sound then resounded on the surface of the barrier, stimulating one after another water-like light. Duan Qing, who was holding the shield, stepped back step by step, and then the female swordsman in the air As the soldier fell down, he put away the buckler on his left arm: "Your understanding of sword energy... seems to be very good."
"It's just the effect that comes with the weapon."
Two small rays of sword light flashed past Duan Qing's side, and then were parried by the handle of the stone hammer: "It's you...where did your skill come from?"
"...It's just the built-in effects on the shield."
Dancing his buckler, Duan Qing smiled and replied: "I'll show you when I turn around..."
He lifted up forcefully to widen the distance between the two people, then held the handle with both hands and smashed the hammer to the ground: "Earthquake!"
The roaring sound stirred up pieces of turf, and quickly spread in the direction of Whispering Liushang. The latter let out a cold snort again, and then floated to one side of the lawn with blue hair, belonging to Duan Qing. The figure immediately appeared on the other side of the ravine, raised his hand and sent out a stone stab, and then rushed towards the opponent's direction before the opponent could dodge the attack: "Cut...punch!"
"Sweep!"
"Poke the ground and sweep across!"
"Half Moon Slash...hammer!"
Wave after wave of powerful force followed the exchange of fire between the two people and spread into the nearby air. While forcing the figure of the blue-haired woman back step by step, it also stirred up pieces of fresh grass. The thin sword glowing with cold light also broke through the stone hammer screen from time to time, sending thrusts containing sword energy to Duan Qing's eyes. However, every time before it was effective, he was struck again and again by the shield on his left hand. Resolved - every time the sword edge hit the shield, a subtle light curtain burst out from his left hand, and then turned into a physical barrier, blocking all the scattered energy. Whispering Liushang also tried She used a physical sword edge to pierce the opponent's light barrier, but unfortunately her strength attributes seemed to be inferior to those of men, so the final result of each fight ended in her own failure.
At one point, her rapier finally broke through Duan Qing's defense, and just before it was about to stab Duan Qing's chest, she stopped due to some inexplicable hesitation. The handle of the stone hammer blocked the rapier the next moment. The blade of the sword twisted two rays of metal into the air. The giant hammer that was originally placed below suddenly turned around, and then with the force provoked by Duan Qing, it hit the other side of Xu Yu's flowing glass. on the wrist.
