"You seem to be in high spirits these past two days."
Three days later, on the early morning of February 6, 796 in the New Calendar, the busy scene among the ruins above the floating island gradually appeared in the same busy scene as before, with the figures of Xuyu Liushang and Jian Beidong, carrying The naked swordsman who walked out of his resting place with a long sword then wiped away the confusion on his face and looked at the energetic face of the woman who had been staying in the game world in recent days with curious eyes: "And it's still going on No offline—what, the pressure on the other side is less?”
"On the contrary, there seem to be more voices of opposition and condemnation." She stretched her body and did preparatory exercises before morning exercise, and the tone of her murmuring reply was not as heavy as what she said: "Those The guys who incited the atmosphere behind the scenes don’t seem to be hiding anymore, and now they have all come forward one after another - well, it would have been better if it had been like this, before, they were all sneaky and tiptoeing, which is completely inconsistent with my style of doing things."
"Then what are you doing here idle?" Then Jian Beidong looked at the other party sideways and his expression became even weirder: "Shouldn't you be busy on the other side? Have you made other plans?"
"What are you thinking? There is no such thing as a 'retreat' in my dictionary." He paused for a moment as he was about to start exercising, and looked back at the swordsman player with a strange look: "The reason why I stay here all the time The reason—hum, do you still need me to explain?”
"Of course it's because things here are more important."
With the fingers of his hands clasped behind his back, he stretched out a lot. With a stretching posture that made passersby around him look at him, he poured his long wavy blue hair behind his head: "According to the previous plan, today should be It’s the day of launch, right? Really, I thought the people on the other side of the Holy Mountain still wouldn’t give up and would continue to fight during this period.”
"Of course the Holy Mountain has taken action - of course, I am referring to those guys who rely on the Holy Mountain." Glancing at the outside of the floating island, Jian Beidong put down his long sword and replied casually: "In the past two days, we have We have also been patrolling with several teams of patrols who are still capable of fighting. Those players who want to sneak in here again have been cleared out batch after batch...You restless woman, you are still looking forward to it all day long. These are the things that prevent the world from being in chaos."
"That's natural. I've been holding my breath during this time." He clasped his left arm with his right arm and kept twisting his slender and powerful waist. He whispered and replied with an indignation on his face: "What if? If you don’t send a few people over to me to chop them down, I’m going to come and chop them down!”
"That was the original plan." Jian Beidong shrugged his shoulders helplessly, curling his lips and turning his head: "We have gathered so much strength and made so many preparations... Ha, that's why I said This place is impregnable and things like what happened two days ago will no longer happen, so what are you still worried about?"
"This is not about worry, it is about eagerness to try."
Pointing to his chest, he murmured and looked at Jian Beidong's face with disdain: "No matter who the opponent is this time, they will be in trouble, because now I am a person who wants to catch myself For a woman with a happy future, her greatest military exploits must fall into my hands.”
"... Do you really want to do this? You probably don't need to prove yourself anymore." Jian Beidong, who crossed his arms, tilted his head angrily: "I know you like to pursue perfection. type, but 'perfection' itself does not exist in this world. If you really intend to pursue perfection -"
"Then why have you stayed here?" The mature and charming voice was like the melodious chirping of birds in the morning, whispering and looking at Jian Beidong's face with raised eyes: "Why have you followed us all the way here? Come?"
"...Of course you know the answer."
"So this is the biggest gap between you and Tianfeng."
Turning around with his body curled up, Xu Yu Liushang temporarily put down the sword-holding wrist that he was about to use to start exerting force: "I have seen many of you children from big families. You have been buzzing like bees looking for flowers since you were young. The world revolves around me, who am I, Lou Yushang? How can I take you, like bees and butterflies, into consideration?"
"But Duan Tianfeng is also our son."
"But he always lived by his own strength."
Picking up the sword he had put down again, Xu Yu Liushang's full and mature gaze gradually fell on the surface of the raised sword with a touch of sadness: "Even at the time, there were still traces of cynicism and dandyism on his body. He still has extraordinary talent and fatal attraction, and the time he spent with me and the way he treated me... and my... thoughts were completely different from those of you."
"In the end, he really loves the game." A rare shy look flashed away from those already familiar eyes, and he turned to look towards the violet tower not far away from here: "So when he finally let go of this virtual world and gave up on the high-rise building he built with his own hands, the first thing I felt was disbelief, and then the heartache that a normal woman should feel."
"Is this the reason why I lost to him? Ha."
Taking a long breath, Jian Beidong smiled and looked at the graceful figure who was murmuring and starting to leave: "I don't have any objection to my inferior skills. If I can't beat him, I have to lower my head obediently. But he I still can’t accept that such a reason was used to seize the winner’s property.”
"If he were here, he would definitely say, 'Lou Yushang is not a piece of property.'" Without stopping, the ordinary iron sword in Xu Yuliu's hand also swayed back and forth with the rotation of his wrist: "But I don't I won’t stop you, if you still have the heart, you can continue to prove yourself.”
"You don't need to tell me that I can do it." His eyes gradually became calm and serious. Jian Beidong then reached out and touched his back as if he remembered something: "By the way, in this case, do you want that Hua Yan?" Back to you?"
"No, you can keep it for yourself." Waving her hand, Xu Yu Liushang's slowly forward posture also drew an elegant and confident straight line with her demeanor: "After all, the one used by Chu Lingbing It’s not a good weapon either.”
"I don't want to be compared to her in this area."
The fluttering long blue hair finally disappeared among the ruins around the tower, leaving only Jian Beidong's face still staring in that direction, still flickering in the early morning wind, standing on the upper floor of the tower. Xue Ling Huan Bing by the window then looked away with a cold expression and walked towards the stone bed where she was resting: "Can the blacksmith named Fendis make an appointment for me? ?”
"Fendis has been staying in the settlement below, miss." Ningyu Ninglan, who is responsible for taking care of daily life and body, smiled and tilted her short hair: "Miss Lingbing is planning to make a new weapon?"
"Yes, my current weapons may be a bit weak." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who nodded and walked back to the center of the room, looked down at the pair of white daggers and round swords placed beside the stone bed. Shield: "Although the pair of dragon bone weapons presented by Ms. Fulla are very useful, their power still cannot keep up with the speed of our level improvement and the difficulty of the game. I still need to prepare one for the upcoming war. A more powerful weapon will do."
"Ninglan actually thinks that the bloody Luoyang behind you can already surpass most of the artifacts." Ningyu Ninglan smiled and replied: "And -"
"Sir, he also commented on your Dragon Bone series before when Ninglan was serving at your side."
The smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by the unique solemn look when telling Duan Qing: "Sir, the weapon you are holding now is the most powerful weapon."
"...Is that what he said?"
"Weapons that can change forms at will are difficult to see even in past virtual reality games." Still keeping her eyes closed and imitating, Ciyu Ninglan used her circled palms to resist her round and delicate face. : "If you make good use of it, you may be able to exert unparalleled power."
"Is... is that so?" Hesitantly looking at the other person's face, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyebrows gradually wrinkled as she thought: "Why do you say that?"
"Ninglan doesn't know sir's knack for using weapons."
Regaining his usual smiling expression, Enyu Ninglan put his hands together in front of him again: "Sir, he was once the king of the virtual world. He was good at almost all types of weapons that had appeared in the virtual world in various eras and backgrounds. Because he loves games and is passionate about exploration and research, he has played almost every weapon content that can be played in the game world."
"This is probably the reason why he was once so powerful." Nodding his head, Xue Ling Huan Bing's lips curled up subconsciously: "That guy also mentioned this several times when he was bragging about his past in front of me. It’s just a matter of—”
"But Sir no longer uses melee weapons." Then the other party continued, and Ninglan unconsciously raised her head: "In Ninglan's impression, Sir seems to have never played magic. Profession, in his original words, 'Magic professions have no technical content at all, they just rely on the convenience provided by the system to fight'."
"It turns out that he is now a magician." He couldn't help but chuckle twice, and then Xueling Huanbing shook his head and stood up again: "Is it the new heart of exploration that is causing trouble?"
"Ninglan doesn't know what Mr. is thinking now."
The short hair on both sides of her temples dropped down with some disappointment. Her vision dimmed for a moment, and then she showed her smile again: "But Ninglan has never worried about this matter, because with Mr.'s talent, as long as If he is willing, he will definitely bring out the power of the magic profession."
"Well, I agree with that."
"Then... do we still need Ninglan to contact the blacksmith?"
"--No."
Bending down to pick up the white sword blade and shield placed beside the bed, Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression gradually stabilized from the slight uneasiness before: "Now that he has said so."
"Then let's trust him one more time."
****************************
"Then I'll trust you again."
At the same moment, in the forbidden area on the upper floor of the Violet Tower, the patriarch of the Zhuang Si clan named Yasi stood in front of the gray-robed magician and nodded. His expression, which also seemed a little hesitant, gradually stabilized. : "You... you can really do it, right?"
"What, we have come this far, are you still doubting our identity?" Different from the other party's solemn expression, Duan Qing's expression seemed much more relaxed: "I know you are afraid of 'taking a dark road' Mood, but even if we throw away our identities, we are still allies now, aren't we?"
"Adventurers may betray their allies, but Qingling Adventure Group will not." He waved his hand, as if he wanted to wave away the distrustful look from the Yasi clan leader. Kailai: "What's more, I took the lead in fulfilling our promise and allowed you to meet the divine envoy in advance. What else do you have to worry about?"
"Okay, I understand." Nodding his head cautiously, the young leader of the Zhuang Si Clan promised: "I will convey the wishes of the divine envoy, and most members of the tribe will also support you. The following developments——"
"It's all in your hands."
After taking a deep look at Duan Qing's face, the patriarch then turned around and left the place. His footsteps gradually descending along the spiral staircase became lighter and lighter with the passage of time, and finally completely disappeared in front of Duan Qing's eyes. Beneath the dim tower. He raised his head again and looked down at the gray-robed magician who was leaving. The relaxed look on his face gradually disappeared. His eyes looked a little dazed and he then turned away with a sigh. He stood up and reopened the door he had just walked out of before: "Okay, the person has been sent away, how much time do you need?"
"What kind of stupid question is this? Do I look like someone who is not fully prepared?" Violet, who was standing inside the laboratory with her hands slightly raised and sensing something, answered in her voice. With a bit of disdain: "Don't pass on your anxiety to others easily, my beloved little apprentice."
"After all, seeing that your biggest backbone is still busy, it's natural to feel anxious." Touching his nose, Duan Qing's contemplative gaze also met the gaze Violet turned around to deliver. Li gradually calmed down: "Anyway, everything that can be arranged has been arranged, and the rest depends on the performance on the spot."
"snort."
As if she was unwilling to say anything to Duan Qingduo that needed to show her strength and confidence, Violet's voice that originally carried Nasia's girly voice became solemn and majestic at this time as she reached over the other person's shoulder: "Then let's get started."
"The audience ceremony."
