"Your brother Baozi has really been taken care of by you."
Instead of leaving the place immediately like the murmuring words, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who stayed in the same place with a frown, changed places and continued to watch the follow-up development of the sudden incident in front of her, but at this time she did not care about the leaving Wizard. The direction of the two members was confirmed by Jian Beidong, who was still drinking wine: "It was the same when I first came to the Violet Tower, and it is the same now... Even when Duan Qing suffered, I I’ve never seen you work so hard to stand up for him.”
"That's because there is a gap between that guy and our brothers - with this guy's temperament and strength, it won't be my turn to stand up for him." Wiping his mouth, Jian Beidong glanced with disdain. He glanced at Xueling Huanbing and said, "My brother has been unlucky enough in the past, and I don't want him to continue to be unlucky, especially in front of those old enemies."
"To be honest, judging from your current performance, Brother Baozi, I really can't imagine how he got into trouble with Wizard in the first place." The young swordsman looking not far away still kept asking Duan Qing Seemingly stumbling while saluting and speaking, Xue Ling Huan Bing also sighed helplessly: "No, before that, how did he become a captain for a while, and even reach the level of being as big as Wizard? To the point of competing with higher-level guilds?”
"Even though my brother is not very good at talking, he is very righteous and loyal." As if he had reached a happy point, the slightly drunk Jian Beidong squinted his eyes and grinned: " People who are benevolent and righteous will naturally be supported - there are so many players who are willing to recognize my brother's ability and kindness, so naturally I have nothing to say."
"If it weren't for a series of accidents and coincidences, that road would eventually be destroyed."
The interest he had just mentioned was instantly extinguished. The naked swordsman named Jian Beidong then buried his head in the sorrow of wine again. Xueling Huanbing, who was looking at all this with lowered eyebrows, still had countless questions. But that curiosity was dispelled the next moment by another figure appearing in front of him: "——Is it you?"
"Oh my, it's been such a long time no see."
With the introduction of the young swordsman, the figure belonging to Yunmeng finally appeared in front of the surprised Duan Qing with a familiar greeting: "At least half a year has passed since Tania said goodbye, right? I thought my ups and downs were exciting enough, but I didn’t expect that compared to your magnificent adventure, my life at this level is simply child’s play.”
"Don't do this, are you trying to change the subject?" Duan Qing, who was expressionless, asked in an emotionless tone: "The sunset and the others followed your scent and came here, right? You are How did you sneak over here?"
"If it were you who were caught every day, you would have developed my ability to escape." A look of pride flashed across his face, and then Yunmeng beat his chest and stamped his feet in pain: "You don't know that I What a miserable time this period has been! If you give me another chance, I will definitely choose to leave that damn principality capital with you and run to this new continent thousands of miles away as soon as possible..."
"So you ran away and disappeared on your own at the last moment when Tania lowered the ruins, right?" Duan Qing blocked the move of the guy dressed as a magician who wanted to continue to come forward with his palm, and Duan Qing said with a look of realization. Staring at the other person: "What are you secretly planning?"
"How can I be as miserable as you think? I am such an upright and sunny young man!"
"As long as you are a character related to Wizard, it is impossible to be related to the word 'above and aboveboard', not to mention you are the one who is being hunted."
"Hey, how could you think so? Doesn't being chased by Wizard prove that I am incompatible with them? It also proves my innocence!"
"Then let's explain the connection between the principality and the empire. Now that I think about the many details of that night, I still have many questions to ask -"
"Hey, talk about this!"
Finally, a trace of a confused and arrogant look flashed across his face, and Yuemeng, who was yelling and rushing forward, waved the sleeves of his hands indiscriminately: "I heard that you are also worried about the earth veins now? I am not like this An expert in the field! I can definitely provide you with some help!”
"Xiao Bao has already reported this matter to me." Looking sideways at the bewildered young swordsman standing beside him, Duan Qing turned his gaze back angrily: "You want to help us repair it?" Violet magic circle? Let’s not talk about whether you have the ability and ability. As far as my personal opinion is concerned, I don’t dare to let a guy like you get close to the magic circle system here.”
"It's so sad! Am I so untrustworthy?" Yun Meng, who put one hand back and the other on his forehead and made an exaggerated pose, said sadly: "Where is the friendship that we fought together? We are not Comrade! Are you going to die without saving me?"
"We are indeed comrades who fought together, but you later became a deserter." Duan Qing removed his hand from his forehead expressionlessly: "And...how can you say that you will not save someone even if you die? Get up? Where did you encounter danger? "
"Aren't those two people Lueyi Guyan and Fusheng Luimeng enough? You don't know how terrifying those two people are!" He pointed at the location of the black hole teleportation array with indignation, but there was no trace of fear on Yuomeng's face. And the feeling of fear: "There is also that Yinzhu who tortures me every day and is like a devil! He is simply inhumane when he attacks me! If it weren't for the fact that players' injuries in the free world can be restored automatically, you might just see a body covered with bruises now. , I am extremely miserable!"
"But you are still alive and kicking around now - this in itself is enough to explain the problem." Duan Qing, with his arms folded, turned his gaze to one side: "Pretending to be pitiful and showing off can't deceive those of us who were once You old fritters who outshine your teammates, your level of deceit and ruthlessness are probably worse than those of everyone in our group put together."
"Team? Teammates? Are you referring to your current adventure group, or the one before?" He raised his eyebrows, and the colorful expressions and postures of Yumeng also instantly converged: "If it is the break with the past, Compared with the Sky Blade and Cruhid, I am ashamed of myself."
"I am no longer the Sky-Breaking Blade I used to be." Duan Qing shook his head: "It seems that our talks have broken down?"
"Is this the first time that you personally admit your identity?" Not caring about the hostility shown by the other party at this time, Yun Meng raised her chin in surprise and asked the other party: "How can I take advantage of this opportunity? Can I ask you a few questions?"
"...Brother Baozi finally introduced you here, have you let down his good intentions?" Duan Qing gestured in the direction of the young swordsman who was still at a loss and turned his head angrily. : "If you don't want to be a good person, just stay away from us, okay?"
"No, no, no, no, I'm not just homeless now." As if noticing the location of the black hole teleportation circle that the gray-robed magician was looking at at this time, Yunmeng hurriedly put on a humble look: "If you put me back, wouldn't I fall into Vizard's trap again?"
"As you can see, our camp is very weak now, and it is impossible for you to use it as a shelter." Duan Qing pointed to his surroundings helplessly: "Unless you can provide it like them Great value and very safe.”
"You want me to sell myself, right? Sell it, sell it." With gritted teeth and patting his chest, Yunmeng acted like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water: "The barbarian Yunmeng applies to join, you can do whatever you want! Are you short of thugs? Let me do it. No matter what kind of enemy it is, I will be able to do it in a matter of minutes—"
"Before that, answer me a question." He raised his hand to stop the other party's impassioned speech, and Duan Qing asked in a low voice: "The person who has been responsible for keeping you as a prisoner is called Yinzhu, right? I need that You should first sell this guy’s information on its value.”
"..."
The energetic look was extinguished in an instant. Yunmeng, who showed a painful expression, did not say anything for a while. Duan Qing, who was looking at him, sighed and wiped his forehead, and turned to the other side of the camp behind him. Pointing in one direction: "Forget it, you go and take a rest first, and we'll talk about selling myself later."
"There is a person over there who has received the same 'teaching' as you. You may know him." He left the place with his mouth curled up, and Duan Qing's figure disappeared into the busy crowd first: "You two can talk to each other first. Share experiences.”
"Maybe the symptoms of 'traumatic stress' can be alleviated a little bit."
************************************
The arrival of Yumeng is just an insignificant drop in the ocean of countless players who have come here, and the disputes and involvements caused have not caused much waves. However, the information carried by this player and the corresponding entanglements will still be in the future. For a period of time, it more or less affected the actions of Duan Qing and his team - just like fulfilling the words of Sunset Solitary Smoke and Floating Life Lumeng before leaving, the news from the Mages Council quickly passed between the two continents. The only passage appeared again in the camp here, but relying on the advantage of Tiangao Emperor's distance, Duan Qing, who received the news, just glanced at the content and put it aside: "Don't worry about it. Whatever these guys say, we just keep doing our thing."
"Are you sure? Isn't your mentor also the boss of the Mage Council?"
Dragging the huge sword body model that Duan Qing had made for him for training, Xue Ling Huan Bing reached out to wipe the sweat and asked pantingly: "Is there really no problem in rejecting their request like this?"
"I haven't contacted them for a long time. It doesn't matter if I lose contact for a while." Duan Qing gradually focused his attention on the magic runes in front of him. Pushed away: "Besides, this is just a 'request for assistance' from them, so nothing will happen if you leave it alone... Hey."
"They came all the way here and didn't give us any warmth. They actually want us to help them. What on earth are those senior magicians thinking?" Duan Qing's voice rang out as he concentrated on the work in front of him. There was a muffled echo at the feet of Xue Ling Huan Bing: "If the two people from Wizard came up with the idea after they returned, it would be a terrible idea. Not to mention the pressure from the Mage Council, even if it was from Wijn Si is here in person, and I still have to choose between him and Violet for a while."
"Speaking of which, two of the continent's top magic masters have already become your mentors." As if imagining the scene Duan Qing described at this time, the corners of Xue Ling Huan Bing's mouth also turned up inexplicably: "What are you planning to do? How to deal with it?"
"Let's see." Duan Qing's voice muffled under the metal ruins sounded like a broken jar: "There is no such thing as a mountain that cannot tolerate two teachers in the magic system. Learn your own skills from two mentors. Special magic is not something prohibited by the system. The reason why they are so sensitive about this matter internally is probably because of Violet’s current status—well.”
"In order to deal with this problem, they won't be so aggressive."
Suddenly stopping what he was doing, the gray-robed magician slowly retreated from under the ruins: "The 'Void Passage' was opened by her to facilitate the connection between the two continents. You guys are just like this Heartless?"
Following his muttering voice and his increasingly serious look, Xue Ling Huan Bing also noticed a special figure appearing in that direction among the crowds of people inside and outside the black hole. She frowned and put the heavy hand in her hand. The training sword was thrown aside casually, but his move to step forward was stopped by Duan Qing's voice: "Wait a minute."
"Let me handle it."
Duan Qing, who shook his head at the other party and sighed repeatedly, stepped over the ruins and rubble under his feet and walked in the direction of the figure. The man who stood motionless after passing through the black door seemed to have noticed Duan Qing. When he arrived, he reached out and lifted up the gray cloak draped above his head a little. Fiery red hair accompanied by a burning smell appeared from between the hands raised by this figure. What appeared under the burning sensation was a calm and stern face. The stunning beauty and feminine curves that were originally breathtaking were now The aura displayed by this face was mostly weakened, leaving only the flashing rippling eyes still glowing with the light of emotion that belongs to humans: "...it is indeed you."
"Ahem - I didn't expect you to come either."
After clearing his throat, Duan Qing nodded to the woman who put her hood back on her head again: "Did the Council of Seven send you to be this messenger?"
"No."
The shadow completely covered the woman's face, leaving only her voice and anxious breathing echoing in front of Duan Qing: "I don't know what the Master Council's plans are, but this time -"
"I have a request of my own."
