"Hello, or long time no see?"
As he got closer to the noisy crowd again, what appeared in Duan Qing's eyes was indeed a familiar figure, but the identity of this familiar figure left in Duan Qing's memory did not seem to be so friendly: "I heard that you Recruiting people here who want to play, so I came over.”
"I remember you are from the Nashi tribe...what's your name?"
"Shrey!"
After announcing his name loudly, the man who was carrying a long knife and with spikes on his back also put away his gritted expression: "Huh, it seems that you have not forgotten your friendship with our tribe."
"Of course I haven't forgotten it. Everyone will be deeply impressed by their first time." Duan Qing shook his head expressionlessly, and then Duan Qing also placed the slightly confused Ciyu Ninglan behind him: "It's okay. Don’t be nervous.”
"We are also old friends."
Slowly putting down his hand, Duan Qing's eyes began to confront the visitor in the gradually quieting air. Sparks appeared in the air as the eyes of the two people met. It gradually burst out among the gathering crowd, and finally died out suddenly as the gray-robed magician raised the corners of his mouth: "Have all of your tribes also moved here?"
"Of course, but my coming here this time does not represent them." With the same grin, Shrei pointed behind him: "You must understand the reason very well."
"Most of the people who come here to sign up have some kind of entanglement with their original tribe." Duan Qing replied calmly: "Why, you don't plan to be loyal to your tribe anymore. What?"
"Those fanatics who are like demons, why should I associate with them?" He crossed his arms and let out a disdainful snort, and Shrey's expression became much more gloomy than before: "No wonder Shi Ayun chose If I leave the tribe and reach his situation, I probably won’t be able to endure it for much longer than him.”
"Shi Ayun." A trace of memory flashed in his eyes, and Duan Qing's eyes slowly lowered as he lowered his head: "...Since you have become Shi Ayun No. 2, what about You should be able to tell us more information about the Nashi clan?"
"The relationship between us is not as good as this." He snorted again, and Shrey's wolf-like ferocious face also turned aside: "And with the current appearance of the Nashi clan, you don't They will be interested.”
"After all, they are one of the tribes that came to this place at this time. The purpose of coming is naturally self-evident." Duan Qing rubbed his chin and replied in a low voice: "But under the circumstances that the central tribes cannot accept them into the finals, they still The purpose of coming here is naturally self-evident."
"..."
"What, you still don't want to explain your true purpose?"
Facing the warrior carrying the long sword who gradually became silent, Duan Qing smiled and retracted his gaze: "Well, it seems that we can only say our last words."
"Go back!"
"Wait, wait a minute!"
Faced with Duan Qingyi's righteous words and the finger he pointed out to him, Shi Lei, who was as ferocious as a wolf, trembled with a trembling face and tugged at the corners of his mouth and shouted: "Don't rush to chase people away yet, there's, what's there?" Is it difficult to discuss this?"
"Hey, I thought you were the kind of tribal warrior with real backbone." So Duan Qing also crossed his arms with a wonderful look on his face: "That's it, the two, three, and four moves I prepared It’s no use…come here.”
Instructing the code behind him, Ninglan once again dealt with the other applicants around him. The gray-robed magician then took the long-sword warrior to the back of the tent again, and then walked to Gedmei, who was still resting here. Under the surprised gaze, En put on his kind smile again: "Then -"
"What leverage do you have that you can use?"
"The chiefs and elders of the Nashi tribe are indeed following the orders of some people." Shrey tightened the long knife behind his back, and looked nervously to the left and right in the direction behind him: "No, instead of To say it's an order, it's better to say it's some kind of strange belief at work, just like some of the grassland legends I heard a long time ago about the clans that once believed in the gods."
"Including the time when they attacked your Sioux tribe, the Nashi tribe was fighting for certain existences during that time." Pointing to the top of his head, this fierce warrior with an arrogant face and sky-high hair said There was also an expression of decline on his face: "The closer you get to people at the elder level, the more this happens. I don't know if it's because the tendons in my head are miswired or if I eat the wrong food..."
"In other words, the Nashi tribe has always voluntarily become the tool of a certain person or force? To eradicate the enemy's weapons for them?" Duan Qing turned to show his face while pressing his hands to signal Gedman to be silent. With a thoughtful expression: "This news is really unexpected... Is this why you ran away from the tribe?"
"The Nashi tribe used to be a tribe that believed in the wolf totem, but now each of them has become like an obedient hyena." His expression of gritted teeth showed again, Shrey nodded and shook his shoulders: "I don't want to be like them. I also lost my freedom, so I was kicked out by them. Although I was not expelled from the clan like Shi Ayun, they never took care of me again and just left me to fend for myself."
"Oh, really?" Duan Qing looked at the other party sideways: "Really?"
"Of course...why, do you think I'm a spy they sent here?" Shrey widened his eyes angrily, and showed his grinning expression again: "Even if I die, I will It’s impossible to listen to another word from them! A wolf will never bow to those dog-like guys!”
"Based on your words alone, I really can't judge whether you are true or false." Duan Qing stroked his chin and studied the other party's performance. After a long while, Duan Qing said his evaluation: "But -"
"Even if I am willing to give you the green light, it does not mean that you will be qualified to participate." Pointing in the direction of the floating island above his head, Duan Qing continued in a helpless voice: "After all, We were still hostile before, and whether you can participate in the battle depends on what those who have entered the divine realm say."
"Let's see if the Sioux tribe, which was almost exterminated by you, will accept your registration."
Not paying attention to the dissatisfaction shown by this wolf-like tribal warrior, Duan Qing reached out and patted the opponent's shoulder, and then walked away in the still noisy atmosphere, leaving only the half-lying man lying there. Goldman rolled his eyes: "Okay, I have made it clear enough. If there is nothing else, you can go back and rest first."
"Who are you--?"
"I'm glad you still remember me, the shield warrior who once fought with you in the Sioux tribe." Pointing to his face, Gedman then guided Shrey's eyes behind the other party: "Also There is a swordsman who had a fight with you, named Asahi Dongsheng... You have to be lucky that you didn't go to him to sign up immediately, otherwise you would definitely be kicked out with a slap from him."
"Of course, that guy's arm has been healed now." Speaking of this, the shield warrior patted his head in confusion: "So-"
"If we really fight again, it's really not certain who of you will win and who will lose."
The hustle and bustle that continued to extend into the distance drowned out this small interlude. There was a trend of expanding along the edge of the Zhuang Si tribe settlement area inside and outside the tent. Duan Qing, who was once again involved in this busy scene, also Once he started a new round of fighting, he persisted until the sun was setting and he saw some glimmers of victory. Looking at the trampled grass and chicken feathers in front of the reception desk they set up here, several players who were almost exhausted from exhaustion, but all holding thick lists in their hands looked at each other with a bit of emotion on their faces. With the harvest so good, they used their last strength to help each other up, packed their bags and walked together in the direction of the teleportation array: "How are the results of your battle there?"
"Look at the list recorded in my manual... Hey, I don't know whether I should laugh or cry."
"What's your little thing? Look at the list in my hand! Alas, it's hard to imagine how much effort we will have to use to keep this game going smoothly when the game actually starts."
"It doesn't matter, Violet is still here. If you believe in that guy's strength, even if she wants to take over the entire grassland and let her use it as a competition venue, she might dare to pat her chest and say 'no problem', but--"
"The worst thing is for those of us who are going to be referees."
"If you want to be the referee, you can be the referee yourself. Anyway, I have to go off to fight. If I don't find a few opponents to enjoy myself, I will have wasted all the names I picked today!"
"Let's talk about it then, you fighting maniac...but I don't want to do this again. Can we hire a few people to help us?"
"Hire? Help us? How to help? Can you trust them? If something strange happens and we are betrayed, then -"
Dragging tired footsteps to reissue, he paused for a moment before approaching the teleportation stone platform. Several players who were whispering to each other closed their mouths in unison. They followed the Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice and suddenly became serious. With an expression on his face, he turned his head and looked at Duan Qing's face who was mid-sentence: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing."
As if to scare a snake away, a black figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from the distance of the grassland they had just passed. Duan Qing, who looked away from that direction, then shook his head indifferently, as if nothing happened. Denial said: "I didn't see anything, just keep walking."
"Please, even I, who has the lowest agility value, have seen it." Pouting his lips, the large shield warrior named Gedman then sighed and muttered: "Forget it, anyway, I want to follow and follow him at this time. There are people spying on us all over the place. God knows which force’s little soldier just came over without knowing what they were capable of..."
"yes."
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who didn't know that he had discovered something unusual, but the serious expression on his face still did not fade, followed Duan Qing's lead and left first.
"Don't worry about her, let's go."
************************************
"A total of 1,364 people - are you trying to exhaust me to death?"
The floating island in the night has a unique flavor under the moonlight and starry sky. The complex curves outlined by the silver light are also mixed with a bit of mysterious purple. Nasia is controlling these lights. At this time, she also put down the countless purple void runes surrounding her hands, and unfolded the sheepskin scroll that Duan Qing had handed her before in front of her: "Even if I only select half of them, this number is enough for me. It’s been several days and nights.”
"Unfortunately, this number will obviously continue to increase." He gestured towards the endless darkness outside the tower on the side, and Duan Qing's answer also contained a bit of a wry smile: "When we start again tomorrow After recruitment and registration, more people will probably come to us."
"I don't have the time to serve these useless humans." His fingers casually crossed the lists with names, and Nasia's voice was filled with the same impatient meaning: "When will the conference start? ?Don’t let these useless people accumulate for too long.”
"besides--"
Before Duan Qing could say her answer, she suddenly turned the parchment roll into a pile of purple fly ash: "You are more or less my magic apprentice. Remember to use magic gems to report next time, and It’s not this primitive way, do you understand?”
"Understood."
The bitter smile became thicker, and Duan Qing then glanced in the direction of Xue Ling Huan Bing who was following him: "Fortunately, this is just the total list we put together overnight, and the bottom data is still there... ah , I mean, we can help you filter the people on this list and select the guys who are more worthy of a try, what do you think?"
"If you can do it, of course I am willing to accept it." After looking at Duan Qing for a while, Naxia slowly turned her head: "Of course, I don't want you to waste your precious time either. To waste time on these things, and days in a row—don’t forget who our real enemy is.”
"Of course, the plan is still going smoothly." Duan Qing nodded his head and made a confident gesture: "I can't handle so many candidates by myself, so I and I Our companions also thought of a backup plan.”
"Considering that there are many old acquaintances among those who signed up today, this plan may be regarded as 'just in time'."
