"We were out fighting to the death, and we almost died. But in the end, you not only went out for a walk, but you also brought a woman back with you?"
Some time later, in the Santerius Plains, the roadside convoy was still parked between the unextinguished fireworks and the road. The furious figure belonging to the fat man was also at this time, together with the armor hanging all over his body, on Duan Qing. The front of his eyes kept shaking: "The convoy was almost destroyed! Fortunately, the labor and management came back quickly..."
"Isn't there still my companion here? She can still hold on for a while..."
"A swordsman who is only at the eleventh level? How dare you say that?"
Waving his chubby palms to interrupt Duan Qing's words, the fat player named Xing Luo Fries pointed his chubby fingers at a female figure in a cloak who was standing in the shadow behind the carriage: "She doesn't even have a I couldn’t even kill the attackers! I almost lost my life!”
"Being able to drag you back is already our greatest victory." Duan Qing, waving his hands in a row, twitched his lips awkwardly but politely: "And... isn't this the effect you want to achieve? He suddenly rushed up and left the two of us here stupidly..."
"You-forget it."
He squeezed his fist hard, stopped his tantrum, and glanced at the tall, thin man next to him who said nothing: "Then this woman you brought back...do you know her?"
"She herself claimed she was a wildling lost in the neighborhood."
The voice explained slowly, and Duan Qing then focused his gaze on the edge of the forest that was still burning not far away: "The forest suddenly caught fire for some reason. She just escaped from it, and the result was another I happened to bump into him, so I picked him up..."
"Pick it back? You're so embarrassed to say it."
Shaking his head helplessly, Xingluo Fries then put his finger on his forehead: "Now we have a mission, and you suddenly did such a thing... Then what do you think about this person? what to do?"
"It depends on your opinions." Duan Qing showed an indifferent expression, and then spread his hands on both sides: "If you want to take her with you, take her with you, if you don't want to take her with you, send her away. , anyway..."
"The relationship between me and this guy is probably just that I know her, but she doesn't know me."
Following his casual pointing finger, two players, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, simultaneously set their sights on the embarrassed blue-haired woman who was standing by the carriage not far away to heal herself, and looked up and down. After a while of gaze, the other party suddenly raised his head and dodged aside in a rather embarrassed manner. Only the players were left standing around the convoy, and then fell into an inexplicable silence. For a while, there were only a few surviving NPCs in the convoy making small sounds as they passed by while cleaning up the battlefield. Fat and thin began to sweat coldly on their faces. The two finally turned around with their own weird expressions, and walked towards the distance arm in arm: "You don't know, you don't know, we know each other."
"...Is it her?"
"It should be her. Her set of 'Star Blue Armor' is still very recognizable, and her name and ID are no problem. The most important thing is her long sword - it looks like a real Hua Yan. "
"That means that the huge firebird that broke out in the woods was also the work of this person... Haha, who were we fighting before, the guys who were chasing her?"
The sound of ????'s footsteps gradually became smaller as the quiet conversation between the two people became smaller. Finally, with Duan Qing's eyes that had been staring in that direction, they disappeared into the wilderness behind another carriage and withdrew his sight. Duan Qing then let out a helpless sigh, turned around and returned to the carriage behind him: "That..."
"You're back honey!"
An eager voice then sounded in his ears, accompanied by the feminine fragrance emanating from a body that suddenly fell into his arms: "I thought you were running out for something, but it turned out you were going You saved people, you are indeed my man!"
"Uh...what are you talking about? Shouldn't you blame me for leaving you behind for no reason..."
"My husband is mighty, my husband is domineering! My husband, you are the best!"
Interrupting Duan Qing's words with sweet words, the voice of the woman in white then wrapped around him tightly together with her body on Duan Qing's back: "To reward you, we are going to How about doing it properly tonight?"
"puff--"
The blue-haired woman kneeling beside the wooden wheel of the carriage was still bandaging her wounds silently. Duan Qing, who was hugged by Xue Ling Huan Bing in the air, suddenly spat out a large mouthful of saliva, and then coughed hard, While struggling, he pushed the opponent's arms that were almost strangled around his neck to both sides: "Stop, stop, stop! Don't talk like that, it will scare people to death."
"Ah? Is there something wrong? Husband?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was wrapped around Duan Qing's back like a white snake, gently bit the tip of Duan Qing's ear with her white teeth: "Still, you don't want me anymore? Wuwuwuwuwu..."
"Hey, hey, I didn't say that." Duan Qing, who knew clearly that the other party was pretending to cry, still became confused: "I didn't say I don't want you...ah, no, I meant...that, you Can you come down first, I can’t breathe!”
"Look, look, I have defeated so many enemies."
Seemingly deciding to let go of the poor man in front of him, Xueling Huanbing, who jumped down from behind the gray-robed magician, then pointed towards the pile of corpses lying on the ground behind the carriage as if asking for credit: "I am Isn’t it amazing? Should you praise me too?”
"Didn't Star Luo Griffin's people kill them... Oops."
Duan Qing covered his abdomen that had been secretly punched by the other party with his hand. Duan Qing arched his body and answered with difficulty in breathing: "Okay, okay, you're the one who killed me, right? Very powerful.”
"Then, do you still want to reward me?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who still had his arms around Duan Qing's neck, pursed his lips: "Tonight -"
"No, no, no, no, we are still on a mission." Blocking the other person's mouth with his hand, Duan Qing began to sweat more and more on his face: "But... there is another reward, I have already thought about it. ”
"Oh? What what?"
"Can I cook you a meal with my own hands?"
After completely removing the other party's body from his own, Duan Qing pressed Xue Ling Huan Bing's shoulders with both hands: "Don't you always want to learn how to survive in the wild? Cooking is also a very important part. Today I will show you tonight what the best barbecue is."
"Yeah! Good, good!"
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who raised her hands in Duan Qing's dumbfounded girl attitude and ignored her hood falling off, shook off her long white hair with a smile: "Finally I can eat again! When do we start? "
"Uh, that, that..."
Duan Qing, who moved his eyes left and right and smiled dryly, finally walked towards the road not far away: "Let's first see if there are any game that can be used as food. If there is none, use the ones we carry with us. It’s not impossible to make meat…”
"Leave it to me! I can already catch the rabbit with my bare hands. Although the little rabbit is so cute, I can't bear to eat it..."
"..."
The figures of a man and a woman, who seemed to be in sweet love, then intertwined and walked towards the wilderness on the other side of the road. At the same time, the whispering woman who was sitting by the wheel was left there as if no one else was around. She still didn't speak and bit her tongue. Teeth pulled off the last bandage wrapped around his shoulder, and then slowly raised his head: "...is it her?"
It should be her. According to Leng Yulihun, that person is Xueling Huanbing, but...
Will she become like this? To treat another strange man with such passion?
Is this still the Chu Lingbing? The woman who is willing to bear everything for revenge?
"Sure enough...it's just the same name."
Thousands of thoughts went through my mind again, and the murmuring and talking movements that were about to tear out the next piece of bandage gradually slowed down. After a while, the eyes that were gradually raised were staring at the sight of the man and woman disappearing into the distance. , gradually becoming more and more serious: "That's not right."
"That attitude of cutting off the water in the abyss... hmph."
After thinking quietly for a while, her head finally slowly lowered: "It always feels a bit artificial."
Amidst the cheers of the surrounding NPCs who gradually organized the convoy, the female swordsman stood up from the ground little by little as if she had made up her mind, and then the surrounding coachmen and the remaining escorts shouted and prepared to set off. In the voice, he staggered slowly towards the front of the convoy.
****************************
"So you want to follow us?"
On the night of January 15th, Year 796 of the New Calendar of the Free World, the convoy walking on the Crook Wasteland gradually stopped on the roadside to rest under the stars. The sound of Fatty Xingluo Fries slowly sounded in the player's self-built building. The edge of the bonfire, and the crackling sound of burning wood kept ringing in the ears of the others: "Miss Whispering?"
"Anyway, if I continue to head to Tanzania City, I will definitely encounter more interceptions."
Shaking her head lightly, the blue-haired swordswoman replied in a calm voice: "Walking in the opposite direction at this time will probably surprise them."
"Is this really appropriate?" The tall and thin player sitting around the fat man then asked in a low voice: "This seems to be against the rules."
"...Are you referring to the rules for joining a mission midway?" Xu Yu Liushang smiled casually: "It doesn't matter, I will help you protect this convoy. As for the reward..."
"I have used so many of your healing supplies before, so you can just treat them as free gifts to me."
She smiled, and the waves in her eyes then turned to a certain gray-robed magician on the other side of the bonfire. The latter also let out a few dry laughs, and then raised his head in a gesture. Arm: "No problem, no problem. You are my idol. This little healing potion is nothing. We alchemists are originally in this business...Ah, that's right."
"I forgot to introduce you to each other." He scratched his head and put on an enthusiastic expression: "These two here are two members from the Star Griffin Guild. Luo Fries and Moon Greedy Wolf are the recipients of this mission and the leaders of our team."
"As for this... this is a member from the great World No. 2, a former teacher of kings, and one of the strongest professional players -" His voice became solemn and high-pitched: "Mrs. Whispering Liushang! You all? Do you want an autograph? I have quietly asked for one before... Oops."
"No need for you to introduce her, we all know her."
Ignoring the screams of pain from the magician who was hit on the ribs by an elbow from beside him, the fat player sitting on the other side of the bonfire folded his arms expressionlessly: "She is not the best in the world now. Two members, the information you know is a bit out of date."
"We are not worried about the distribution of rewards and spoils. We also welcome you to join." The tall and thin man on the side then continued in a low voice: "We are just worried..."
"Are you worried that I will bring you other troubles?"
Pulling the corner of her mouth slightly, the female swordsman elegantly brushed the long blue hair behind her back: "Don't worry, I have recovered enough physical strength and energy, as long as they dare to come... "
"I'll just let them die without a burial place."
The faint coercion spread out along the outline of the bonfire with her words, and then quietly disappeared when the other people lowered their heads and swallowed. The murmurs that seemed to be aware of this reaction then lowered their voices. He lowered his head, and then broke the silence with a mature and charming voice: "Where is the destination of your escort this time?"
"The outpost on the border of Koruk Wasteland." The fat player looked back at the opponent and replied in a low voice: "If you are coming from the north, you should have passed that location... What is the situation there?"
"I haven't passed there." Xu Yu Liushang shook his head: "But... as far as I know, there shouldn't be any accidents there."
"So far, the attackers have all been thugs and mercenaries from the imperial aristocracy." The tall and thin Moon Greedy Wolf then followed up with analysis: "Although they will spare no effort to cause destruction, they should not destroy these Put things on the table as obvious as the outpost..."
"Do you know the reason for the transportation of this batch of supplies?"
Suddenly asking this question, Wu Yu's eyes wandered back and forth on the people on the other side of the campfire: "As far as I know, the Empire is constantly strengthening the defense environment around Redcar... Is there something wrong? "
"We don't know much about this." The fat man Xingluo Fries, who was stunned for a moment, then scratched his cheek and replied: "We only know the reason why Tanzania City is strengthening its security recently. I heard that it is because His Highness the Prince is about to arrive here... "
"Your Highness the Prince?" Xu Yu Liushang raised his beautiful eyebrows: "Chris? What is he doing here?"
"Uh...I heard it was because he personally saved the imperial noble team that was about to arrive in this city."
Looking at the west where they were, Xingluo Fries' eyes also glowed with a strange light: "Could it be..."
"Is the empire's military preparing for the possibility of someone attacking the prince?"
