"I can't help it. You should also know my situation."
His eyes seemed to be fixed in the air between the two people along with the atmosphere. Duan Qing, who was facing Jian Beidong, also relaxed the expression on his face: "A man who can't even leave this world and return to the real world." How can someone who does that talk about anything else?”
"The young master of the Duan family I know is not such a person." Jian Beidong shook his head: "Even if you have no way to leave this place, you must have thought of ten thousand ways to make the enemy fall into a trap. The method of the land of the abyss is the right one.”
"How can you say it so powerfully?" Still waving his hands to deny the other party's words, Duan Qing replaced the wry smile on his face: "Three years have passed, no matter how deep the hatred is, it should be smoothed away. ,not to mention--"
"Are you sure it's because of life? Isn't it because of your cowardice and cowardice?" He interrupted the other party calmly, and Jian Beidong's expression also had a sense of ridicule: "Have you given up? "
"I--"
It seemed that it was hard to talk about it. Duan Qing looked at the prairie scene in the distance that was still retreating under the clear sky and sighed: "Yes, that's right. As long as my past is no longer investigated, I actually have no complaints."
"He will definitely not let you go. You know it very well in your heart." Jian Beidong, who answered, shook his head firmly again: "From the time he first discovered your existence until the battle on the grassland, has he ever met you at any time? Have you ever held back during a confrontation?"
"..."
"I won't say anything like 'trouble-making machine' or 'trouble-attracting machine'. It's outdated to say that he won't let you go if you let him go." Looking at Duan Qing's expression, his face gradually darkened. , Jian Beidong's voice also became deeper: "But if you continue to maintain this passive and rebellious attitude, those karmic fires will eventually burn to you, and -"
"On those around you."
After raising his head and taking a swig of wine, Jian Beidong let out a big gasp: "Is it okay even if this is the case?"
"Good guy, you are worthy of being my former brother and teammate." Duan Qing curled his lips, and then took out the wine bottle hanging from his waist with a curse: "In terms of provoking generals, you are better than others. .”
"I didn't mean to say these words. These are my true thoughts." The serious look on Jian Beidong's face was gradually replaced by a chuckle: "Why, are you really delusional?" Will that old immortal guy show mercy and take the initiative to let you and the people around you go?"
"Don't forget why they gathered around you. Everyone is here to help you and support you." He stretched out his hand holding the wine bottle and touched Duan Qing's chest: " Don’t live up to their expectations.”
"I don't know which blessings I have accumulated in my life, so that you people come to me one after another." Duan Qing lowered his head and smiled bitterly again: "If it were before, I would think this It is the pride and right of being a member of the Duan family, but now——"
"No matter how excessive it is, the charm of the Sky-Breaking Blade is still unmatched." Before Duan Qing could finish his sigh, Jian Beidong on the side raised his hand again: "If you don't believe it, go ahead. Ask the current players and professional players, even three years later, they still yearn for the existence of this name."
"They just did something that was difficult for them to do." Duan Qing seemed to have broken free from some previous emotions, and replied with a smile on his face: "If they had the conditions and resources I had at that time, they would It may not be possible to achieve what I have achieved, and there are even many more potential candidates now, such as the brothers from the Long family and the group of young people who are ranked second in the world."
"It's impossible for them to do it." Jian Beidong immediately denied: "And don't forget, using the Yi Sword has irreversible side effects."
"..."
"When you refused to teach me those methods, there was a trace of resistance and dissatisfaction in my heart, but to this day, I only feel fear and gratitude."
In the atmosphere that fell silent again, Jian Beidong's eyes flashed with nostalgia for a moment: "I don't know to what extent your family has researched this technology, but in the virtual reality technology and the free world, it has developed to Under the current situation, more and more people are abusing the Yi Sword."
"I know, you are talking about people from the Knights Templar, right?" Raising the flask in his hand to his mouth, Duan Qing replied calmly: "I'm sorry, my personal power is really limited, I can There is no way to stop this undercurrent.”
"I understand what you mean." Scratching his nose, Jian Beidong's gaze paused for a moment in front of Duan Qing's sudden swallowing action: "So we also started taking action early."
"We're going to tap into each other's roots."
Pointing to the feet where the two people were, Jian Beidong turned and made an embracing movement: "Just like the floating city we are in now - since we can't get rid of the threat of those beasts, then get rid of the entire The earth will be fine.”
"We have established a new alliance." He looked at Duan Qing intently: "As long as most players are willing to recognize our alliance and abandon the original existence, the so-called 'crime' and 'rules' extended from there 'It will resolve itself."
"I have heard this news for a long time, and Yushang has been busy with this matter in the past period." Taking a deep breath, Duan Qingjiang looked a little red because the wine had entered his throat. His expression slowly returned: "I'm sorry that I can't help in this matter, after all -"
"No, you can help us." Jian Beidong let out a low laugh and waved his hand: "As long as you are willing, even if you just lend us a name, this matter can be completely confirmed."
"In other words, you want it?"
"Yes, this is something that everyone is looking forward to."
It seemed that they had reached an agreement on a certain level. The eyes of the two people looking at each other each had a different look and brilliance. The riddle-like topic was interrupted by a loud shout that followed. There was also a white figure who gradually found the two people behind him: "You two! No wonder I've been looking for you for so long, it turns out you came here to be lazy!"
"Go back with me, Naxia is looking for you." The white-haired figure flashed through the air with a fragrant wind, and the voice belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing and a look with a hint of vigilance also shifted from Jian Beidong who stepped aside. When it came to Duan Qing: "She seems to have some 'small tasks' she wants to give you."
"We'll talk if we have time." Before Duan Qing could respond, Jian Beidong stood up, waved the wine bottle in his hand, and took the lead to slowly leave towards the depths of the floating area: "I still have I have a lot to say to reminisce with you...well, let me think about it."
"If you're interested, you'd better have a drink tonight."
*********************************
"tonight?"
After passing through countless people who were still busy in the ruins, Duan Qing came to the small open space directly in front of the tower. At this time, the figure belonging to Naxia had also broken away from the outline of the tower and stood with her head lowered. I don't know what I'm thinking about at the same place: "Not tonight, I still have a lot of things to do."
"Just asking by the way, it doesn't matter if you don't want to come." Duan Qing gestured and held up his hands: "It's a pity. I originally wanted to cook a barbecue dinner to reward you..."
"I know you are deliberately trying to whet my appetite, but don't forget your position and identity." Turning around expressionlessly, Naxia stared at Duan Qing and whispered: "I don't have time to attend the banquet. If so, wouldn’t you bring delicious food to me?”
"Cough, cough, cough... Okay, I remember." So Duan Qing could only laugh dryly and cough his own throat: "Thank you for your dedication to our new territory. I will use my best words later. Good craftsmanship honors you."
"The recovery of the Violet Array is not yet complete."
Putting away the slight look of anger on her face, Nasia, who was wearing an ordinary white cloth robe, then began to talk about the business: "I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, but the structure of this void territory I prepared is almost There is no difference from the Violet Tower in reality, so in order to restore the normal operation of all functions, many energy circuits and circulation of magical structures also need to be restored."
"Without anyone helping me, the repair work will become a long project." After saying this, she glanced at Duan Qing again: "This is without anyone causing interference to our territory. situation."
"There is no interference?" Duan Qing's eyes were a little more alert: "Has someone started to take advantage of our floating realm?"
"Several magic scans passed by as we floated forward." Pointing to the depths of the clear sky, Nasia's expression became a little more serious: "When our speed has been reduced to the current , the other party may have locked our position very easily."
"Our speed has decreased?" Duan Qing seemed to have noticed this problem just now, and cast his gaze in the same direction: "What's going on?"
"Of course it's because the windproof barrier has been repaired." She gestured around, and Nasia's face showed a look of logic: "The windproof barrier will block the intrusion of high-altitude strong winds, and naturally it will also prevent the wind from entering." The effect of elemental magic, unless carefully designed and released, the idea of using ordinary wind to push forward is now difficult to achieve."
"Our current progress relies on the dual effects of gravity magic and buoyancy magic, but due to the influence of natural wind, its speed will naturally be greatly limited." Speaking of this, she gathered up her long hair casually: "Sky The advantage can allow us to avoid the threat of beast tide, so I don’t care much about speed, but now-"
"Probably the Holy Mountain." After frowning and thinking for a while, Duan Qing came to this conclusion: "We can be accurately found in this area of the Wind Continent only in a place like the Holy Mountain. It can be done.”
"Speaking of which, I also act as a divine envoy." Nasia scratched her hair in distress, and Violet's face showed an annoyed look: "It's really troublesome, do I have to continue?" Are you acting like a show to deal with them?"
"Maybe it's more than just dealing with them." Duan Qing said with a straight face: "If our previous reasoning is correct, they may be the biggest enemy we need to face next."
"You don't believe me." Twisting her small nose, Nasia's girlish face that did not suit her temperament also followed her proud expression and put on a confident smile: "Just wait and see Well, after those people from the sacred mountain appear, I will let you see what a true divine envoy is."
"No, I think it's better to be well prepared." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "Without knowing what the power of the Holy Mountain is like, it's just up to us little guys to resist possible air attacks. The blow is really too strong and difficult to deal with.”
"Just take a look at the performance of the Hulun tribe." Naxia turned around and walked towards the direction of the tower: "They found an ancient relic and a high-energy cannon and thought they could deal with the sacred mountain—— If we extrapolate from this, wouldn’t it mean that the sacred mountain is also very weak?”
"No, no, no, no, I can't handle that level of energy bombardment." Duan Qing shook his hand hurriedly: "And that's just the Hulun tribe's wishful thinking. Since that sacred mountain can rule the entire Wind Continent for so many years, Their strength is definitely not at our level."
"So your main goal now is to investigate the situation of the Holy Mountain." Nodding his head, Nasia's voice sounded again before disappearing from the tower: "Go and collect more intelligence, whether it is from the sky or from the sky It can be underground, but I don’t want to see a group of guys I don’t recognize when I finally face the sacred mountain... Ah, that’s right.”
"Don't forget to prepare the list I gave you." She turned around and pointed at the magic stone that had been thrust into Duan Qing's hand before, and at the same time pressed the vague surrounding magic runes back to her side. : "This is a key material for repairing the territory. I don't have time to get these by myself."
"Hey, are your requests too much?"
Watching the other party disappear into the light of magic transmission, Duan Qing put away his wry smile and said, "Okay, who made me your apprentice and soul friend."
"Yuntie, Gaoluanshi, quartz sand, and all kinds of magic gems... Oh, you simply don't know the sufferings of the world, my mentor." He sighed and withdrew the energy injected into the magician, and Duan Qing walked dejectedly in the direction he came from: "Forget it, things have to be done one by one."
"Let's start with the banquet first."
