"I call the sun to rise in the east, the sun to rise in the east, the sun to rise in the east."
The night that is unique to the free world gradually falls over the vast wilderness around the Tanzania Plains. At the same time, the night sky represented by bright stars is spread over the wilderness, and the silence brought by the sparse population also follows. As this scene appeared, it became more obvious, and the insects dotted nearby also made the bonfire burning in front of Duan Qing appear a little brighter. Continuously rotating the barbecue in front of him in his hands, the gray-robed magician's eyes also focused on the golden color that was gradually roasting in front of him, until the player who approached him casually began to introduce himself. , he raised his smiling face: "What a refreshing introduction..."
"Anyway, there's a name on my head, so there's no need to say it clearly."
Pointing to the four big characters displayed above his head, the player named Asahi Dongsheng sat next to Duan Qing as if he was familiar with it: "I just didn't expect that I could meet the same kind of people in a place like this. .”
"Lone wolf?"
The movement of his hand paused slightly, and Duan Qing turned his attention to the surface of the big ax that was still dripping blood in the player's hand: "It's the kind of player who doesn't like to form a team with others. He has always been The kind of person who acts alone and then takes all the loot he gets while grabbing the business of other teams?"
"Listening to what you said, I feel like I have become a bad person." Throwing the giant ax aside, Asahi Dongsheng's face became a little ugly: "And...don't you seem to be here alone? .”
"There are two of us."
Pointing to the direction where the sword roars were still coming not far away from them, Duan Qing twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "There is another one who is practicing sword practice."
"No wonder there are so many barbecues in front of you." Looking at Asahi Dongsheng opposite, he laughed nonchalantly: "I originally thought you had prepared it a long time ago... How about, it shouldn't be a problem if you give me two skewers. ?”
"No problem, there is always a surplus anyway." Duan Qing raised his eyelids: "As long as you only talk and don't do anything."
"...Actually, I'm not a lone wolf."
With a smile on his face, he picked up one of the skewers that was stuck upside down next to the bonfire, and Chao Ri Dongsheng patted his somewhat crude armor: "I'm just a person who was temporarily abandoned by the fixed group, and I want to find something to do because I have nothing to do. Just idle people.”
"Oh?" Duan Qing opened one of the glass bottles and sprinkled some white particles on the skewer near him: "What about your fixed dough?"
"Probably go somewhere else to have fun." He took a hard bite of the barbecue in his hand, and a look of surprise appeared in Asahi Dongsheng's eyes: "Wow! It's delicious! It's better than those barbecues in real life. They’re all delicious!”
"No matter how delicious the food is, it is still a virtual signal. It is naturally more delicious than what you eat in real life." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "Although I did add some homemade seasonings in it..."
"You, are you a chef?" The ax player who was about to lie on the ground suddenly sat up: "You have a lot of research on the cooking system in the free world?"
"I'm not a chef, and I haven't done any research, but..." Duan Qing curled his lips helplessly: "When you have a companion who is picky about your cooking skills every day, you will probably also Let’s evolve such skills.”
"Nonsense, I haven't evolved such a skill at all." Asahi Dongsheng, who was grabbing the skewers, immediately waved his arms: "Everyone in the group I was originally in was a foodie, but everyone's cooking skills were terrible. , Later, the boss even took people to check the posts on the Internet from players who were delving into the cooking system. In the end, no one escaped the clutches of the dark cooking world... Huh?"
As he spoke, his eyes then turned to the dark depths of the far side of the camp where the sword practitioners were gradually quieting down. Then, as if he noticed something, his pupils slightly dilated: "Wow, that's it... …”
"Are you here to show off your dog food?" He turned around and his teasing gaze fell on Duan Qing: "Such a beautiful companion, and it's still late at night... I'll take a whiff."
"Smell what?"
"Is there any medicine you put in these barbecues?" A smile that only a man can understand appeared on Asahi Dongsheng's face: "It is quiet in the middle of the night, and there is no one around. If you can take advantage of the opportunity of delicious food, The fragrance of kissing a beautiful woman is simply more fragrant than barbecue——"
Crack!
A loud whistle of swords then appeared above the camp, passing over the heads of Duan Qing and Chao Ri Dongsheng. The whistle of sword energy, which did not conceal the murderous intent at all, also made a hole in the sky above the bonfire. , flew out towards the depths of the boundless starry sky: "Wow ah ah ah, you scared me to death... Why is your mother-in-law so violent?"
"Of course it's because you ate the wrong thing." Sitting up straight like a roly-poly, Duan Qing glanced in the direction of Xue Ling Huan Bing with a wry smile: "The person is right next to him. Still talking nonsense..."
"She, how did she hear it?" He cautiously glanced in the direction where the sound of sword practice sounded again, and Chao Ri Dongsheng, who got up again, asked with fear on his face: "We are so far away, can you Are they all supermen?”
"She is only responsible for the security work around this camp while practicing her sword." Duan Qing slowly placed another skewer of barbecue on the campfire: "So she is always paying attention to the movements in all directions."
"Although you have entered the Grand Master era, but... looking at your appearance, I would never imagine that you are all novice players."
Picking up the uneaten skewers that he had just scared off from the ground, Asahi Dongsheng patted them twice casually, and then started to eat them again as if nothing had happened, while using vague words. The voice continued: "Not only are the five senses comparable to those of professional players, but I have already developed a sword spirit..."
"Maybe it's just because the weapons are better." Duan Qing said perfunctorily without raising his head: "And I'm not a swordsman, but a magician and alchemist."
"Alchemist?" Asahi Dongsheng held the last piece of barbecue in his mouth and raised his head in surprise: "The kind of person who sells everything very expensive and can make a lot of money?"
"Selling expensive doesn't mean you can make a lot of money, it just means that the cost price is very high." Duan Qing stopped turning the iron sign angrily: "Otherwise, I would still be hanging around in this wilderness. What?"
"It seems to make sense."
Blinking his eyes slightly, the ax warrior then focused on the surface of the gray magic robe on Duan Qing: "This magic robe does not look special, although I rarely see novice players. Being able to get equipment like magic robes at the early stage...yo, what is this, your staff?"
As if he had discovered some new continent, his eyes fell on the snow-white long-handled staff behind Duan Qing: "It seems to be of very good quality."
"Go, go, don't touch it." Duan Qing used a red-hot iron stick to force the opponent's figure back: "At least I have to wait until you wash your hands before coming back."
"There are no rivers or water sources nearby. Where can I meet your request?" He replied with a helpless expression. Then Asahi Dongsheng looked expectantly again: "If you don't want to see it, talk to the head office. Right? Where did you get this weapon?"
"Kamparo Canyon."
Looking at the other party with raised eyelids, Duan Qing then replied in a high voice: "You should have heard of this place, right?"
"I've heard of it, of course I've heard of it. They're all from the area around Santrius Province. How could I not have heard of that kind of place?" Asahi Dongsheng nodded hurriedly: "Why, where was it found? "
"To be precise, it's the reward I got there." Duan Qing shook the two skewers in his hand vigorously: "It's just this time, there is no other semicolon. If you want to ask for it again, I'm afraid There is no chance."
"...Hey, it's boring."
After looking at Duan Qing among the crackling oil stars for a while, Chao Ri Dongsheng finally showed a disappointed expression on his face: "I am very satisfied with my equipment, but I can't replace this weapon... …never mind."
"There is a time in your life that you must have, but there is no time in your life, so don't force it." He put his hands on the ground, and then read these two sentences leisurely: "Just like the woman who belongs to me, the weapon that belongs to me will sooner or later. It will show up, won’t it?”
"I can't tell, but you are still an open-minded guy." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "No wonder you can survive alone in the wild for such a long time."
"Apart from cooking, my other survival skills are very good." Asahi Dongsheng grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "Are you interested in taking an adventure with me, chef?"
"I'm not a chef, I'm an alchemist." Duan Qing replied expressionlessly: "We are not abandoned people like you. We still have our own things to do."
"Tsk, it's boring." Then the big axe warrior looked at Duan Qing with ghostly eyes: "In that case, then just pay me two more skewers."
"If you ask me directly, I might be able to show mercy." Duan Qing looked at the other party with squinting eyes: "Now... no way."
"...Are you all players with a guild now? What is the name of your guild?"
"Qingling."
"Qing Ling? I've never heard of this name."
"It's just been established, there are only two of us at the moment."
Pointing to the sound of swords still ringing in the distance, Duan Qing inserted another baked iron stick into the ground with his backhand: "It's just for the convenience of accepting tasks in the Adventurer Association. There is no other purpose."
"That--"
"We won't accept anyone either."
As if he had already understood the next words that the player who suddenly appeared in front of them was about to say, Duan Qing's eyes gradually showed a strange color: "If you want to join the team, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible. "
"If I hadn't fallen in love with your cooking skills, I wouldn't have wanted to make such a request." Asahi Dongsheng forced a disdainful expression on his face: "Humph."
"..."
"A guild was established, but in the end there were only the two of you." Chao Ri Dongsheng, who looked at Duan Qing and ignored his face, muttered in a low voice: "Why do you think there is adultery... ugh Hey, I didn’t say anything.”
He turned around, shaking his hands towards the dark depths where the sword whistling stopped again, and then after a period of silence, he slumped his shoulders out of breath. Duan Qing once again set up the skewers he had already made by the campfire. Duan Qing, who slightly raised the corner of his mouth, quietly turned his attention to the casual player, and then he heard the crackle of the campfire in silence. , suddenly spoke his voice again: "Which guild are you from?"
"..."
"After asking us for so long, why are you so unhappy when it comes to your head?"
"I've already said that my regular group abandoned me, so now... naturally I don't have a guild anymore."
"...By the way, your ID is a bit strange."
Duan Qing stopped turning the barbecue in his hand and turned his gaze sideways: "I remember that idiom is called the rising sun in the east, right? How come it became the rising sun in your place?"
"Why, can't it?" Asahi Dongsheng, who was half lying on the ground, replied lazily: "It's just a name, how can there be so much care."
"I have always been very knowledgeable about this kind of weird naming method." Duan Qing shook his head: "Especially this kind of deliberately changing the first character of the word. In my impression, some people like Guilds that run family series like to do this.”
"...Hey, you know it very well, buddy." There was an expression of surprise on his face, and Chao Ri Dongsheng pointed to the top of his head proudly: "I worked hard to think of the word 'Chao' at the beginning. The word "" not only represents my name, but also represents the name of our dynasty guild, representing the prosperous present and the vibrant--"
call!
The loud sword whistle sounded again in the darkness behind the two people, sending the sound of breaking through the air that had appeared once before and a fierce crescent-shaped sword energy to the sky above the camp, but this time it appeared in the morning sun. What was above his head was not only the shadow of a sword coming from under the night sky, but also a brilliant trajectory of a snow-white long sword cutting through the night sky. In an instant, he grabbed the giant ax next to him. Asahi Dongsheng, who had no time to finish his words, then used his last strength to block the sword attack that was just around the corner. The next moment he tried to get up, he was blocked. The sword edge at his neck pressed down, and at the same time, the cold eyes belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing pressed him down: "You just said..."
"You are from the Dynasty Guild, right?"
