Since the free world underwent a version upgrade, the threat from the Restorers has become more and more obvious with the promotion of various events. Multiple national forces from various regions of the continent have also emerged with the passage of history. Feeling the strength of this dark force that claims to have inherited the mantle of the Magic Empire, some have even suffered from them more than once. Players who like to study the history of the virtual world also like to regard the earlier Battle of Tania as the real dividing point between the version upgrade and the rise of the Restorers, thus dividing many countries and countries of the Free Continent that are troubled by the Restorers. area, and it was not until the fall of Xifeng County in the principality and the sudden change in Zaraha City in the empire that the players active in the center of the Free Continent began to truly realize what was going on in this country that planned to return to the glory of the Magic Empire. Such power.
Even the empire, which is famous for its military strength and has never been afraid of war, is using various signs to prove to the world that it has begun to be vigilant.
"In other words... the empire has already been prepared?"
Crossing his arms, the tall and thin player named Greedy Moon Wolf said in a low voice: "That's why I sent His Highness the Prince here? But the rumors didn't say..."
"It is rumored that His Royal Highness the Prince will be the envoy of the empire and be responsible for the post-war peace talks with the principality." The fat man sitting on the side took over the words in a low voice: "Using the identity of the prince to highlight the post-war peace talks after the Zaraha City incident. Sincerity... I originally thought this was enough, but I didn’t expect there was such a consideration behind it?”
"You mean, the people of the empire used His Highness as a bait?" Duan Qing, who was sitting by the campfire, asked in surprise: "Does it cost so much? And he is His Highness, what if it really happens? What are the three long and two shortcomings..."
"That's why the Empire has made adequate preparations, and the upgrading of regional alert is one of them."
Closing his eyes slightly, Xu Yu Liushang, who was also sitting next to him, turned away from his face, which was bright red by the bonfire: "And... the people of the empire, especially the royal family of the empire, all have a common problem."
"That's confidence."
She stretched out her finger, and her originally calm face turned into a mature expression unique to successful women: "They are confident that they can destroy all hidden conspiracies and threats, and His Highness the Prince must think so."
"Yes, this is indeed the greatest feeling that the Empire people give us." The fat player nodded in agreement: "In their eyes, those so-called remnants of the Magic Empire are probably not as threatening as the opposition nobles around them. .”
"The Fleur Empire has dominated the Free Continent for nearly eight hundred years, and they have long since lost a worthy opponent." Xiuyu Liushang shook his hair gracefully: "And..."
"It was their emperor Fleur who destroyed the Magic Empire eight hundred years ago. This is probably the real reason why they look down on the restorers." The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes seemed to be shining with admiration and longing for memories. : "Judging from the relics left by the Sky City, the emperor's style is still worth seeing."
"...that great emperor."
The scenes he saw on the Sky City were inexplicably recalled in his mind, and Duan Qing's eyes paused for a moment on the long strip of cloth that Xue Ling Huan Bing had been carrying behind him: "I heard... …She’s a very powerful guy, she founded the empire, right?”
"Oh ho ho, I forgot that we have a little novice player here." The fat man covered in armor smiled and patted his chest: "Have you not heard of those heroic players in the free world? His deeds? That’s very exciting. If you have the chance, you must learn about it.”
"Ah ha ha ha, definitely." Duan Qing showed an awkward smile again, and then changed the topic back to the original question: "So that means... the current empire still does not take the restorers in its eyes. Yeah?"
"Although I don't know what the ultimate goal of the series of events that happened in front of us is, I don't think it is." Xu Yu Liushang cast his eyes on Duan Qing: "Otherwise..."
"His Royal Highness will not suddenly turn around and come to Tanzania City as you said."
Her eyes lingered on Duan Qing's unnatural face for a while, and finally fell on another white-haired woman who had been hugging him tightly. The latter gave her a somewhat hostile look. Then he approached Duan Qing's ear with a bright smile: "We don't care what those people want to do, no matter how many they come...my husband will kill them all, right?"
"Ah...yes, yes, no problem." Duan Qing, who was called husband by the other party, had a little more cold sweat on his forehead: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect everyone."
"...Uh, so those people who are chasing you are also followers of the Restoration?"
With some helplessness, he withdrew his eyes from the direction of the two men and women who seemed to be showing off their affection. Xingluo Fries interrupted the weird atmosphere around the campfire with a dry laugh: "Why are they chasing you?"
"When I was operating within the empire, I accidentally sabotaged several of their great operations."
He leisurely withdrew his gaze, murmured with a smile on his lips, and then slightly played with the tips of his hanging blue hair with his fingers: "Those people must have been chasing me all the way to get revenge on me."
"...Are you a player?"
"yes."
"I actually chased you here...could it be to sabotage your mission?"
"It's my mission..."
His eyes fell on Xueling Huanbing, who was leaning on the gray-robed magician's shoulder. He kept a mature smile and lowered his head: "Sorry, I can't reveal this."
"We were the ones who offended, and it's us who should apologize."
Reaching out to stop what the fat man wanted to say next, the tall and thin man then set his sights on the whispering figure: "But...since you are bringing such enemy players, we have to reconsider our future operations. The mission is over. Although we do have a powerful ally, the level of the enemies we have to deal with has also risen by more than two levels..."
"Don't worry, I will guarantee your safety on this trip." Xu Yuliushang repeated again: "I can guarantee that my strength is definitely worth the trouble I have caused. This action... you should take it seriously." This is my thank you."
"Uh... Xingluo Griffin very much welcomes your assistance." With words of thanks on his lips, Moon Greedy Wolf's voice became lower and lower: "But... this won't delay yourself. Something?"
"It's my own business."
He let out a sigh involuntarily, and once again turned his gaze to the man and woman who were starting to fight on the other side of the bonfire: "Don't worry."
"I'll take care of it."
***************************
"So are you planning to hide it this way?"
"What's wrong? This is the highest level of performance. Even she would never have thought that I would behave like this..."
"Okay, okay, this is indeed a bit unexpected. When you first pounced on me, my eyes almost fell out of fright... Oops!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Isn't there a point for who gets the advantage and who loses? Just cooperate with me honestly, otherwise...if that woman finds out, you will be in trouble!"
Time came to the early morning of the next day. On the top of another carriage after the carriage convoy set off, Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing, who were still standing at the back of the convoy, turned their backs to the surrounding convoy guards and leaders. The fat and thin people pretended to be in love with each other at the same time in a thin voice that only the two of them could hear: "But this is too artificial, you see, even the two Star Luo Griffin people were scared... …”
"They are so envious and jealous, seeing how my flower suddenly stuck in your cow dung body." Xue Ling Huan Bing rolled her eyes angrily: "What do you care about them? I don't even care. I’m worried about being criticized.”
"well."
Duan Qing sighed and glanced forward, and finally his eyes fell on the blue-haired woman sitting on the top of the carriage in front: "But... is this really appropriate?"
"Why, are you nostalgic again at this time?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was hugging the other party's arm, blinked his eyes: "If you want to go over and clarify your identity, just go. I won't stop you."
"I didn't mean that, I just..."
The raised arm slowly stopped in mid-air. Duan Qing, who was hesitant to speak, finally took back the words he wanted to express: "Forget it, the rabbit is still not looking back, now that we have reached this point. At this point, then I have no choice but...no choice...Oh! Why did you bite me again!"
"Because I want to roast you and eat you."
Withdrawing her indignant gaze, Xue Ling Huan Bing smiled and then showed her row of white teeth: "With so many women trying to rob you, your meat must be very delicious."
"Please, I baked so much for you last night... aren't you full yet?"
Duan Qing rubbed his shoulders in embarrassment and said with a smile, "I'm still waiting for the day when you can practice my three-point skill, and then let me enjoy the feeling of being served. "
"If you want it..." A serious and charming look flashed in Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes: "That's not impossible, as long as you -"
"No, no, no, I really can't bear it."
He hurriedly raised his hands, and Duan Qing's body almost fell off the roof of the carriage when he was avoiding it: "I don't object to being with you, as long as you don't scare me in such an abnormal way..."
"……snort."
His eyes kept scanning Duan Qing's face, and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was still holding Duan Qing's arm, finally opened his mouth: "Really, you don't agree to being so nice to you. You know what happened before?" How many men were there in Tianxiang Company..."
"Excuse me, you two."
A mature and elegant female voice suddenly intervened in the conversation between the two people, and at the same time, a murmuring figure walked in front of the two of them at some point: "But... if we have time, I wonder if we can How about a little chat?"
"Well, of course we won't object to chatting." Feeling the sudden increase in strength on his arm, the cold sweat on Duan Qing's face flowed down again: "But... won't it delay your work?"
"The work of protecting the convoy is completed by us together. Linyuan cuts off the water."
After speaking the name lightly, the blue-haired swordswoman slowly held the bandages tied under the hollow female armor in front of Duan Qing: "Besides...it's been such a long time. If people come to attack, those so-called noble attackers must not dare to come again."
"Well...ah hahaha, I can't guarantee it."
Duan Qing, who seemed to be unaware of the probing meaning in the other party's words, scratched his head and replied with a smile: "But... you, the peerless master, are here, and the few noble attackers should not be here either." Let’s talk.”
"Since you also know that they are not my opponents, there is no need to worry."
Kneeling gracefully on the other side of the car roof, the blue-haired swordswoman cast her casual eyes over the head of Xue Linghuan Bing, who was staring at her: "This place is in the wilderness, and everything within three miles is clear. It can be seen that since there is no situation, it is okay for us to relax a little."
"Well, okay then." Duan Qing twitched the corners of his mouth: "I'm glad to chat with Ms. Liu Shang... What do you want to ask?"
"I heard that you are a newcomer who has just joined the free world. You don't know anything about the general structure and historical background of this world."
The increasingly warm wind passed above the motorcade, driving Duan Qing's robe and the long blue hair that was flowing to the east. The blue-haired woman held the flame in her hand across her knees with the back of her fingers. Flicking the sword blade in front of him, he slowly lowered his eyebrows: "So... you who wanted to ask me for my autograph once, how did you hear about me?"
That was my subconscious excuse.
Duan Qing swallowed the answer that flowed through his heart firmly, and replied with a haha: "That, that's because... I also played a virtual reality game a long time ago, and I heard of your name at that time. …”
"That's right." Xuyu Liushang nodded gently: "Then your girlfriend must have heard of me."
"Uh...probably."
"I think she seems to be a little hostile towards me."
"That's because she is petty...ah!"
After being poked in the waist again, Duan Qing's smile became a little distorted: "That's because she saw that you are a woman with such a temperament, so there may be some misunderstandings, some misunderstandings..."
"I'm sorry if that's the case."
The woman who gently bowed her head and put her hands on her knees said with a smile: "I will also regard this sentence as a reward for me... Hmm."
"Looks like we're almost there."
Amid Duan Qing's chilling laughter in front of him, the blue-haired swordswoman turned her head back as if she noticed something, and then moved her outstretched arm to the road in the distance. An earth-yellow horizon appeared in Duan Qing's eyes: "There..."
"It's Crook Moor."
