"Has the situation been calculated?"
A few days later, in the free world of Kalon Pass, Fusheng Limeng, who was dressed in black scholar uniform, opened the tent curtain in front of him and asked the men beside him in a low voice: "How is it?"
"Except for the Sword of Justice, the results of other clubs are out." One of the players who followed him quickly replied in a low voice: "The situation...is pretty much what we expected."
"The Sword of Justice...hum."
Throwing everything in his hand on the table, the scholar in black walked to the center of the tent and sat down slowly with a sneer: "We were still allies before, but now we are all opponents. We won't give They are adding fuel to the fire...should this be considered as being benevolent and righteous?"
"...According to the information we secretly inquired about, they should still participate in this competition." The player who answered him before said again: "It's just...whether it's the arrangement of the participants or the after-participation The whereabouts of the guild are now unknown."
"Even an idiot like me, who doesn't know anything, can see it."
A loud voice then appeared at the door curtain of the tent, and at the same time there was a burly figure belonging to Sunset Guyan: "With a situation like the Sword of Justice, even if Dongfeng Ramen comes, it will be difficult to suppress it. If it is like this No matter how bad the result is...ha, I'm afraid they won't be able to make it to the next UEFA Cup."
"That's just right. We can remove them from the list of the eight major guilds in the alliance." Fusheng Lingmeng replied without raising his head. At the same time, he handed another order in his hand to another player beside him: "Put it in Give this to Pamir and say... we temporarily agree to his proposal."
"Why did it take so long to come back?" After waving the other players out of the door, Luo Riguyan laughed and walked in front of the other party: "Did the negotiation not go smoothly?"
"It went smoothly." Fusheng Lingmeng raised his eyelids slightly: "The principality agreed to submit our proposal to the Mages Council as a bargaining chip for the conditions they promised us before but later denied... You What did you say just now, the UEFA Cup?"
"Of course it's about the qualifiers." Luo Riguyan said angrily: "Isn't that the topic you brought up?"
"...I'm not as optimistic as you think." There was a meaningless look in his eyes, Fusheng Limeng smiled and shook his head: "The seats in the eight major guilds will not disappear out of thin air, one less Sword of Justice... …There will be other guilds that will make up for it.”
"So what?" Luo Riguyan curled her lips nonchalantly: "No matter how powerful they are, they are just replacements. Is there anyone with the Sword of Justice who can be more powerful?"
"This...it's really hard to say."
A strange light flashed in his eyes, and Fusheng Limeng couldn't help lowering his voice: "The information I learned before also revealed many possible unexpected situations, such as... that adventure group may be going to Signed up.”
"...that adventure group?"
After being slightly stunned, Luo Riguyan slowly put down the hands he had been holding on his chest: "Does the alliance now allow non-professional teams to participate in the qualifiers?"
"There is no threshold for applying for a professional team now, and you can get anything like a name at will." Fusheng Lingmeng replied nonchalantly: "Anyway, from the perspective of those in the alliance... this little-known little team, It will be brushed off soon."
"...Hmph, a bunch of ignorant guys." Rui Riguyan's eyes turned cold: "I'm afraid I haven't seen a two-story dark horse before."
"It's far more than just a dark horse." Fusheng Lingmeng tugged at the corner of his mouth and shook his head: "If the rumors about that person are really as powerful as you originally described...our participation and plan this time may all be ruined. It’s a laughing stock.”
"Then here's the problem."
The silent silence between the two people lasted for a moment, and then was broken by the dull voice of Luo Riguan Yan who spoke again: "Will he... take part in the competition?"
"I don't know." His answer was a simple but decisive voice: "There is currently no further news."
"If that person really decides to come back, no one dares to say that they can defeat him now." Luo Riguyan's voice became even duller: "We must redo our plans."
"What I'm more interested in is the reason why he decided to participate this time." Fusheng Lingmeng covered his mouth with his hands: "Is it because of the failure in the game world? Or is it because he just wants to come back to the world? Or maybe it’s because…”
"Stop thinking about these useless things. In the face of absolute power...reasons are often useless."
Reaching out to interrupt the other party's muttering, Luo Rigu Yan lowered her head and asked, "How are our preparations?"
"I've already taken care of the four-pointed star side. He has already agreed to participate in the competition." Fusheng Limeng replied with a smile: "The only problem is that Nifeng Youran's side..."
"Why, he is still busy saving his old friends?"
"If we don't deal with this matter, I think even if he is recalled, he will probably be a player who is not interested in competing... But I heard that he has almost completed the transfer, and the next thing is only a matter of time."
"Hmph, if it weren't for taking care of his mood, we wouldn't have reached this point..."
"No, the important thing is our attitude."
It seemed that some important topic was discussed, and the eyes in the dream became much more serious: "Weizard is not the kind of place that abandons the entire guild for the benefit of one person, but Weizard pays more attention to the reputation of the guild. Guilds that dare not stand up on issues of stance cannot be on an equal footing with other forces in the free world. In the face of such righteousness, sacrifices in other aspects are also inevitable results. The key lies in what we get back from other places... … Is it worth the sacrifice?"
"You mean... we shouldn't be enemies with the Fool Adventure Group?"
"At least for now we're getting enough returns."
Facing Luo Rigu Yan's doubts, Fu Sheng Ling Meng replied calmly: "Because of the reputation change of the Mage Council, the situation has forced us to be on the opposite side - from that person's perspective, he should also be able to understand this. "
"So when we face his wrath... we should also be aware?"
"You're right."
Touching the desk filled with scrolls in front of him again, Fusheng Limeng smiled and nodded: "Anyway, we have to compete in the end..."
"The current result should be acceptable to both parties."
****************************
As the last day of registration for the qualifying competition approaches, the names of many contestants and analysis of their participation situation have gradually begun to surface. Posts of concern and analysis on major forums have also appeared with people who love water. , springing up one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain. Constantly interpreting the pros and cons of a new round of confrontation in the context of the game Free World, countless fans who support each club also started their own support activities. They kept shouting on each other's online positions, At the same time, the denunciation and war of words between each other spread into the virtual world filled with smoke.
It was also under such circumstances that the news of a small adventure group signing up for the competition quietly appeared in the corner of everyone's sight, jumping into the turbulent ocean in an unknown way.
"The Fool's Adventure Group...Hey, why are so many people looking for death participating in the competition this year?"
"The free world is like this. Many people don't know where they have found treasures that others can't reach. But even if such a guy can surprise people for one or two times, he will definitely not be able to go far in the end."
"It's possible. God knows what this already notorious team wants to do. Maybe they got some surprising benefits from their previous betrayal, or maybe one of them is a professional player who opens a trumpet... "
"Does a professional player open a trumpet account on such an occasion? He doesn't want to do it anymore? If his club finds out, getting expelled is just a trivial matter..."
Similar remarks are like after-dinner talk. After a while, they are forgotten by the person talking about them. However, other teams participating in the competition quietly experienced their own changes with the emergence of this news—— It is said that Han Lei from Lanshan laughed three times after hearing the news, and then hurriedly held a long combat meeting with other team members. A group of hyenas ranked second in the world also stepped up their training. Plan, and at the same time held several unknown meetings with the Fool's Adventure Group's branch in Liberty City. Jianghu's Duan Fenglei met his third brother once after receiving the news, and the two of them never met again. Even the Sword of Justice, which had never made a statement, announced the bombshell news that it was about to participate in the qualifiers. But compared to these people, the ones who reacted the most were the Wings of Freedom. First, Chenyu Zangyue, who had just made a big fuss, came forward to question the qualifications of the adventure group, and then the president of the Wings of Freedom publicly Welcoming such "newcomers" to join, the new captain of Wings of Freedom, Miyu Ryōtatsu, cordially greeted the new team's current situation and asked them if they had their own official website. They had never expressed any concern for their opponents. Concerned about half a box of cigarettes, he finally issued a declaration of war on his personal website, "Let's come back for the third round", as if this team, which had never entered the professional world, had become his most powerful opponent.
The only one who has not made a public statement is Xue Ling Huan Bing, because she pursued the news in private.
"……whispering sound."
After closing the related hot topics, Duan Qing let out a sigh of disdain, and then moved aside the secret chat window that Xue Ling Huan Bing had been using as usual, pointing to the condolence letter issued by Liang Chen Meiyu and laughing: "This What do you mean, look down on us, right? Be careful if we really reach the finals and let them lose the championship again."
"They... may not have such good luck this time." The maid standing next to his game cabin replied in a calm voice: "If sir is willing, Ninglan can go and talk to Miss Lou now... "
"No, we have enough troubles now." Duan Qing immediately shook his head: "And... no matter what, I will definitely not participate in the competition."
"……Why?"
"They are building momentum."
Duan Qing patted the screen in front of him and said in a low voice: "Forget about other guilds, they are all normal reactions after hearing that we are about to participate in the competition. Only this Wings of Freedom... they are trying to We are on the cusp of a higher level. I originally thought that Wizard would do such a thing, but I didn't expect that they would take the lead this time, so...either they don't want to see us continue to grow, or they are It has a more special purpose.”
"..."
"Maybe they want to force me to take action."
Taking a deep breath, Duan Qing briefly said what Ciyu Ninglan wanted to say: "Once I am exposed, someone who really wants to deal with us will appear."
"Should we...shall we change places?"
"No need, changing hiding places frequently will only expose you faster."
Glancing towards the periphery of the dark room, Duan Qing shook his head in a low voice: "My duty now is just to be a coach quietly, fulfill Mengzhu's expectations, and then wait for this wave of turmoil to pass while waiting for the game. The arrival of... your arrival was actually not within my expectation, but I have no other options to think of. The top priority now... is still to not expose the target."
"I have been hiding it for three whole years, and I don't want them to find it so easily." After saying this, he lowered his gaze: "Even if I really find it, I will..."
"……gentlemen?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing."
Shaking his head, Duan Qing snapped his fingers, and then started to go online again while asking the maid beside him: "He...isn't he here?"
"He didn't come." Ningyu Ninglan, who was about to disappear from her eyes, shook her head: "Following your suggestion, sir, he finally chose to stay in the Free City, but... he recommended two candidates to you. .”
"oh?"
"You'll see it soon."
His vision once again turned to snow-white as the game cabin enveloped and buzzed, and then transformed into the image of competition uniforms as the mountains and rivers changed. Duan Qing, who was looking at Mengzhu and others who were still training, then He tilted his head and looked at the two figures of the other two players who had appeared here, who originally did not belong to this team: "...ha."
"So it's you."
"...How are you doing lately, Brother Qingshan?"
One of the players who noticed Duan Qing's arrival withdrew his gaze from watching the training, then greeted with a smile.
