"Looking back, I heard this somewhere before."
Some time later, on the night of February 11, 796 in the New Calendar, several player teams who had gathered together for various reasons sat together again at the camp chosen by Duan Qing and the others, but this time they were surrounded by a bonfire. The atmosphere in front was far less harmonious than before - it seemed that he was still wary of the uninvited Gedman, and Asahi Dongsheng, who had been holding the giant ax, now shouldered the responsibility of monitoring this uninvited man. The player's task, while Xueling Huanbing, who was also sitting in the other direction, was silently poking at the fire in front of him with a branch, while staring at Duan Qing who was leaning on the other side with a machete-like gaze. The two of them chatted with Xu Yu: "Did you make the same request when you were in Tania before?"
"This, this time is different!"
After speaking this sentence forcefully, Xu Yu Liushang withdrew his raised voice with a sense of cowardice and hesitation: "What I mean is that the situation among the major families is a bit chaotic now, so I'm very worried about your safety..."
"As for this, you don't have to worry." After a moment of silence, Duan Qing put on a comforting smile again: "The place where I am now is very safe, they will never find me."
"Yes, really?" The hand pressing the other person's chest was slightly firm, and the blue-haired woman slowly raised her head from the other person's arms: "But I... I still feel..."
"Why, you can't stop missing me so quickly?"
Duan Qing sighed softly in his heart, and then completely helped the blue-haired woman's body up: "Don't think so much, I'm fine now, there are many people taking care of me, they won't let anything happen to me easily of."
"..."
"I know the current situation is critical and we have things we have to do."
The voice gradually became low and serious, and Duan Qing's hands gradually grasped Xu Yuliu's distracted shoulders: "Instead of worrying about my safety, it would be better to go and help me somewhere else, right?"
"...I, I understand."
After being shaken twice by the other party, Wu Yuliu's eyes became slightly clearer: "As for Ninglan, I have sent people out to investigate first. Although the situation is still not as optimistic as I imagined before, but..."
"I always feel that they are still wary of something." Her voice became heavier, and her eyes gradually hid between her long blue hair: "It stands to reason that even if they plan to execute their maid justifiably, they will not They shouldn't use such a high-profile approach, after all, it goes against the current rules, and the law doesn't allow them to do it..."
"They're trying to lure me out, aren't they?"
After pondering for a moment, Duan Qing revealed a somewhat clear look in his eyes: "Professional circles and ordinary players may have received news of the death of a player named 'Moshang Qingshan', but most of those people He will learn from the alliance about my disappearance from that basement, and with Duan Qingnian’s caution, he will definitely think that I am still alive.”
"As long as I'm alive, I can pose a threat to him." His voice became much colder: "So in order to lure the snake out of its hole..."
"You, you won't go alone, will you?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely not fall for this."
After smiling and comforting the blue-haired woman who became anxious again, Duan Qing put down his hand again: "But... I can't just watch Ninglan die."
"Go and contact those people I asked you to contact before, and continue to act according to my ideas." After a slight silence, Duan Qing muttered again: "Since I can't come forward in person, then the final rescue mission can only be It’s up to you.”
"Mr. Wu has prepared the invitations, and the relevant arrangements can be completed within a few days." The whispering voice also became much more serious: "If possible, I hope to continue to promote my plan."
"Have you not given up on your dream yet? I won't object, but..."
"That doesn't matter. If there is no other way, I will sell you to those people."
"Hey hey..."
"Hey! Have you had enough?"
The sound of slight footsteps was then replaced by a cold female voice, interrupting the two people's increasingly lowered words. Duan Qing, who raised his head, then took the figure belonging to Xueling Huanbing into his eyes, and subconsciously let go What appeared under the action of opening his hands was an embarrassed smile: "Ah! That, that, what's wrong?"
"What else can happen?"
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who hugged her knees and sat next to Duan Qing, glared at him and whispered softly: "Obviously I was here first..."
"ah?"
"No, it's nothing."
Shaking his head vigorously, Xue Ling Huan Bing's face then burst into a rare moving smile: "Now that we have almost formed a five-person team, shouldn't we plan our next move? What about, dear President?"
"Ah...uh, that's right."
After scratching the back of his head, Duan Qing let out a few dry laughs: "I've spent a whole day here, and I must have found enough people like the Ax Gang."
"It's also possible that the cordon has been raised." Whispering Liushang on the other side inadvertently brushed his blue hair: "If there is really an imperial force that is obstructing it, you might have been put under control by now. His whereabouts were revealed to the imperial military who came to search for him."
"Then we should set off as soon as possible. If we delay it any longer, we don't know who even stranger people will find us."
"Oh? Who do you think is the strange person? Is it the Asahi Dongsheng who doesn't know how to find your camp at night, or the heavy-armored warrior who doesn't know how to find you in the daytime?"
"Ahem—!"
Interrupting the argument between the two women with a vigorous cough, Duan Qing then opened his eyes that he had just closed due to helplessness: "Anyway, in short, we can't just sit here and wait for death. After all, our goal is to go The Imperial Capital, no matter how many troubles hang on us, we will always go there this time.”
"Let me ask first." Gedman, who had been sitting across from the bonfire without saying a word, then suppressed the smile he had shown when he saw the joke before: "Do you have any tasks that need to be completed in the imperial capital?"
"There are indeed one or two tasks." Duan Qing looked at the other party and nodded: "But... it's too early to say it now."
"Understood, then I agree to set off now." Goldman nodded: "After all, I also have several tasks that need to be completed. It is not good if it takes too long."
"Well, since three people have agreed, I have nothing to say." Looking at the heavy-armored warrior who crossed his arms and nodded, Asahi Dongsheng on the side also smiled and nodded: "Anyway As a guy whose reputation has been reduced to the bottom line by the Empire, there is no benefit in staying here."
"The only trouble is how should we go now." He pointed to the purple-haired great magician who was sitting motionless by the tent not far from the campfire: "With her, no matter what we do, many things will happen. It’s inconvenient.”
"So if we want to take action, we must solve this problem." Duan Qing also looked at the puppet-like female existence, and his voice became serious: "The solution to this problem is also very simple - —Just get some transportation."
"Carjacking?" Asahi Dongsheng and Gedman asked in unison after looking at each other.
"The town closest to us... I remember it's called Entel Town, right?" Duan Qing, who sighed and ignored the inexplicable excitement of the two grown men, took out the adventurer's map and pointed to a place to the northwest of them. A town logo: "It is a necessary route through Koska County, so there should be a lot of carriages and the like. After the last version, a train line was added next to this town..."
"Robbing a train?" Then the gangsterism in the mouths of the two warrior players became a little more serious: "I'll do it, I'll do it with this vote."
"Fuck, fuck you!"
Duan Qing let out an angry roar involuntarily, and then covered his forehead with his hands: "Can we not use such an eye-catching method? Even if we really grab the train, we won't be dead once they catch up. Is it warped?"
"Well, it doesn't matter to us, what matters is her life." His voice paused for a moment, and then pointed in the direction where Violet was sitting blankly: "If you want to do it yourself and then run away freely. If so, I won’t stop you.”
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." There was a slight silence for a moment, but it was Goldman who crossed his arms and spoke out first: "You can do things to make a fortune at any time, but the top priority now is to get to the Imperial Capital as soon as possible, right?"
"That's right, as long as we can get rid of the threat of local player gangs, our roads will be smooth." Asahi Dongsheng on the side also smiled and nodded his head: "Snatching cars and turf may only be possible. It’s counterproductive.”
"As long as we don't attract too much attention, we will give priority to getting the carriage." Duan Qing closed the adventurer's map in front of him calmly, and then looked at the two people in front of him: "Next, I need to get it from you first. One thing is clear.”
"Whose territory is the small town of Entel now?"
*************************************
The night was gradually going away, the sun was rising, the rooster was crowing, and the day was coming again. Duan Qing's temporary team of five people and an NPC's strange team were sneaking around the corner of Ketan Avenue, heading towards We set off in the direction of the looming outline of a small town in the distance. Due to the presence of whispers in the team, the team cleared the monsters along the way and moved much faster. However, the looks in the eyes of Gedman and Asahi Dongsheng also began to become worse and worse. It got weird.
Asahi Dongsheng's reaction was normal. He just looked like he was amazed that the blue-haired female swordsman had such good skills. However, as a former professional player, Gedmane saw something abnormal that was obviously different from the others. The difference is.
"Could it be that this person who is talking and talking is the person who is talking and talking?"
"Listen to what you are asking!"
Duan Qing curled his lips helplessly, and Duan Qing, who was staying at the back of the team, then nodded towards the heavy-armored warrior who quietly stretched out his finger: "But... it should be right, it's what you think."
"I heard that she left No. 2 in the World after the miracle in the Sky City. I didn't expect that she would appear here." After twirling his chin, Gedman's eyes then focused on Duan Qing. : "In that case, may I ask what your identity is -?"
"Pretty face." He said this easily misunderstood term without hesitation. Duan Qing waved his hand with a perfunctory look: "You know."
"...To be able to get close to that person in this way, I think your ability must be extraordinary."
Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Goldman then showed an awkward smile: "Please allow me to apologize to you two again for what happened in Kemparo Canyon."
"It's been so long, there's no need to bring it up again." Duan Qing raised his eyebrows and then focused on the other party: "There is one thing I have always wanted to ask... That When did you arrive at the BOSS robbery?"
"Well, everyone at that time thought that we should follow up and have a look, so I kept following you." Answering Duan Qing's question in another way, Goldman slowly lowered his head: " For some reason, I often lose my opinion at critical moments, and then everyone talks to each other, and in the end it becomes that result."
"...Then did you grab anything?" Duan Qing, who was still looking ahead, changed the question indifferently: "If you don't get even the last bit of benefit, it will be a big loss."
"Of course there is." Goldman then pointed at Duan Qing: "The dragon scale I gave you later is one of them."
"Oh? How much do you have left? Have you built anything good?"
"Well, because there are too few materials, the things that can be forged are really limited."
After scratching his head, Goldman then retracted his gaze: "And because of the Violet Tower, there are almost no blacksmiths in Tanzania City, where magic technology is more developed, so if there is a chance, I Intended to use them in the citadel of Thebilis.”
"Really?" Duan Qing answered casually: "Isn't there a blacksmith named Peter in the Wind Eagle Tavern? Have you ever gone to his place to try it?"
"Peter? I've never heard of this blacksmith's name."
"Ah? He said that his blacksmith shop is near Robert Street, and people often go to the Wind Eagle Tavern to drink..."
"Really? But Robert Street is an aristocratic neighborhood. If there was a blacksmith shop clanging there every day, Lord Robert, who likes appearance, would have cut off his head long ago."
"W-what? What's going on-"
"Okay gentlemen, the free time is over."
The voice belonging to Xuyu Liushang then appeared in front of the two people, interrupting the discussion between Duan Qing and Goldman. He raised his head and then followed the raised fingers of Xuyu Liushang and looked at the people nearby. The outline of the town in front of you.
"Here we are."
