The Hermit Camp is as always full of adventurers coming and going, and even many vendors and mercenaries from various countries have gradually begun to appear in this growing camp. Due to the huge passenger flow, many merchants and stalls are open for business. The owner has also begun to set his sights on making money on this land that is completely established and operated by players. Through the protection and support of an open and inclusive business model and good public security laws, the camps located at the main entrances and exits of this Starwind Plain have early become more prosperous than other large guild settlements around them, and are also becoming more and more prosperous. Due to the development of this transfer station, a large number of high-level adventure areas near the Xingfeng Plain and even the shores of Hulan Mountain have begun to be discovered by players more and more.
The harvest from the high-level adventure area will naturally drive the high-level trading market, which will create a huge virtuous cycle in the seaside corners of the entire virtual world. However, the initiator and main leader of all this is sitting in front of Duan Qing. His image certainly doesn't look like he can do something of this magnitude.
"Wow hahahaha! I really didn't expect that!"
Laughing and sitting opposite the gray-robed magician, the player uncle named Smiling Butcher also took off his ferocious armor at this time, revealing his slightly fat belly due to his weight gain. He also put the heavy blue bone shield aside and said, "I never thought you would be like this! Why, instead of being the best swordsman in the world, you become the best magician in the world?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have that ability." He raised his tea cup to cover half of his face. Duan Qing raised his eyebrows and replied helplessly: "You are not qualified to criticize me, yours." The image seems to have changed even more, right?”
"It was given to me by the brothers of the non-fortress. It is said to be a gift made by the best blacksmith in this camp." Pointing to the hard armor he had previously worn, the smiling butcher's face was filled with emotion. With a satisfied expression: "Of course, don't think it was made by a blacksmith. The material used is keel, keel!"
"I have seen this material before. It is as hard as steel and other metal objects." Nodding his head, Duan Qing also had an expression of approval on his face: "The most important thing is that these materials are made of keels. Weapons and equipment are born with various special effects. Ling Bing has one in his hand. It is probably some kind of residual power attached to the dragon bone. It still exerts special effects thousands of years after his death. It works...cough cough cough."
Sensing the sharp gaze from someone sitting behind him, Duan Qing coughed and stopped the in-depth discussion of this topic: "It seems that Brother Butcher is doing well during this time?"
"Everywhere, it's all thanks to the care and entrustment of other colleagues." The smiling butcher patted his belly and shook his head: "Usually when the guard camp is in good condition, it is the brothers under me who contribute more, so I am allocating When it comes to the camp’s income and loot, try to give them as much as possible. Anyway, I’m an old man and it’s useless to come here! Hahahahaha!”
"The hermit camp has developed to this extent, and the credit of the brothers is even greater." He restrained his smile, and the smiling butcher said this seriously: "Of course now, I need to take the lead in resisting those... There are not many opportunities for the beast tide, and the armors with various high-level attributes that were forced on me have no use now... Ah, except for shields, except for shields!"
"I like shield weapons as always." Looking at the mysterious light shining on the bone shield placed by the smiling butcher on the side of the table, Duan Qing curled his lips and tilted his head: "Maybe you should be able to We can talk to Goldman, or maybe it’s the Blue Cloud Barrier..."
"The president of Lanshan has been here a few times, and I have gotten to know him." Interrupting Duan Qing's words, the smiling butcher continued with a proud look on his face: "Tu is not talented, and I am honored to be able to represent him. The hermit camp has spoken to many top rulers in the virtual world, which would have been something that would have been unthinkable before."
"Your face is very useful."
He laughed heartily again. The middle-aged man, who was a bit fat, pointed at Duan Qing and slapped his thigh. The laughter was enough to shake the entire tent and made Duan Qing involuntarily shed a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead. , his eyes gradually turned to the front of the gap outside the tent: "Ahem - what does this have to do with me?"
"Don't think that I don't know who they are coming for." Curbing his casual look, the smiling butcher replied with a serious face: "But since we parted, I also know the news about you. Very few. I only learned a little bit about the two major incidents that occurred in Liberty City from the side, until——"
"It's not until you really start to develop your own power in the sacred mountain and build the floating city that we can officially cooperate again." The middle-aged uncle who said this also showed a sigh of relief on his face: " After such a long time, you and I have also undergone great changes."
"The smiling cat is your daughter, right? The one who ran to Fenghua Town to pick you up." Duan Qing nodded his head, crossed his arms and commented with his eyes closed: "A very good one. A leader has the potential to become a qualified leader.”
"What are you talking about? She is already much stronger than me!" He answered the other party with his eyes wide open, and the smiling butcher pointed at himself with a proud expression: "Whether it was in the wind or the hermit camp now, She has much more management experience than I do! If she hadn’t set down a series of rules to manage so many people obediently, I wouldn’t be able to control them with my old-boned momentum alone!”
"It's their loss that Fu Feng drove you people away." Duan Qing's agreement became more obvious: "Speaking of which, we seem to have seen them in the camp in Shenshan... They are still here Wasn’t it disbanded?”
"Of course not. After all, we still have the name of a front-ranking guild in the alliance." As if he knew the current situation of his former club very well, the smiling butcher replied calmly: "Even if they are just eating corpses, there are still people who want to do this." Zhang Pi inherited it... Hey, this is also a big reason for us to oppose the old alliance. If there were fewer such bastards in their system, our life might not become so difficult. "
"Conflicts between the old and new alliances abound, and this reason is just one of them." Duan Qing opened his eyes, and his expression gradually became serious: "But... I appeared in this place, I really didn't Problem?"
"What are you afraid of! The Hermit Camp is a neutral camp. There are so many fugitives coming here!" The smiling butcher laughed and replied: "I don't care about the old grudges of you people. My rules here are One: Don’t cause trouble in the camp, or I’ll kick him out!”
"This is a place for adventurers who come and go to rest and relax. At most, it can be a place where you and I are willing to do business. If you want to provoke trouble and set the pace, and engage in those opposite things, then go out and fight!" He waved his palm-like hand toward the outside of the tent majestically, and then blinked his eyes at Duan Qing: "Don't worry, you can just stay here peacefully."
"No, I didn't come here to avoid the limelight." Duan Qing curled his lips and replied: "I would rather the other party chase me, so that our plan may be implemented more smoothly...ah , Don’t worry, we are just isolating those annoying flies for a while, and we will leave when the situation stabilizes."
"Plan?" Rubbing his chin, the middle-aged man stared at Duan Qing for a long time: "Are you here to be bait again? Half a year ago -"
"No, no, no, we won't do it to that extent this time." Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hands to interrupt the other party's speculation: "This time the method will be more... uh, gentler, in order to solve all the problems at once Sex solves it all.”
"That's it." Taking a deep breath, the smiling butcher gradually straightened his posture: "Then it will be more interesting - is there anything we can help with? Just bring it up. That’s it.”
"Don't worry, when it comes time to really need you, I will definitely not refuse." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "The task assigned to me by Violet has not been completed yet. After everything is settled, I will I will also consider you and your territory.”
"If the effect is better, maybe it can bring you more popularity."
After exchanging some information and intelligence with each other, Duan Qing then watched the middle-aged player strode away from the place. The inside and outside of the tent that was originally shaken by the loud voice gradually became calm, leaving only the gray robe. The magician looked at the bustling street outside with a blank look: "Oh, I should have thought of this result a long time ago, but I really just wanted to pass by."
"Forget it, let's finish what needs to be done first." After dispelling the distracting thoughts that had been lingering in his mind since the swamp was evacuated, Duan Qing tilted his head and turned his head: "Have you rested? If you have rested well, Let’s just—huh?”
"If you are looking for your two companions, they have disappeared just now." Sitting in the corner of the tent, Lost Dream, who had never spoken before, answered Duan Qing's doubts: "It should be Used space teleportation."
"..."
After opening his mouth, Duan Qing still didn't say anything: "Then, um... ahem, that's fine, that saves me from racking my brains to think of a solution."
"..."
There was no intention to continue Duan Qing's words, nor did he want to continue talking. The bald warrior just sat there quietly and looked at Duan Qing's eyes, as if he had already expected that the other party might be in such an atmosphere. The embarrassment that arises: “Well, well… what are you going to do next?”
"Continue my journey." There was no wave in the voice of Lost Dream's reply: "I have finished everything I wanted to say."
"It's not that I want to persuade you, nor do I want to recruit you again." After scratching his head and thinking for a while, Duan Qing replied hesitantly: "But you really didn't go back to find Mengzhu. Are you planning on it? She should be in short supply right now, and your strength looks pretty good—"
"That's your business, not mine." He interrupted Duan Qing's words, and the kind-hearted bald head of the lost dream rose in the dark tent as he stood up: "Now Circumstances, I still have no reason to return.”
"Well, I'll help her a little - just in secret, of course."
In the scene where footsteps passed by him step by step, Duan Qing, who did not look back to watch the other party leave, finally sighed helplessly: "I will try my best to compensate her for what I should compensate... Do you still have any?" Information about other people?”
"Are you referring to the original members?" The movement of reaching out to open the door curtain stopped in mid-air, and Lost Dream replied without looking back: "I don't know."
"Even if it's just rumors, after all, the only ones who can pay attention to them are you old teammates."
"..."
The bald warrior stood motionless at the door, but the metal light reflected by the flail and shield behind his back changed slightly: "Okay."
"I only tell you what I know."
He tightened the tent curtain, and his low voice echoed quietly in the low pressure around Duan Qing: "The best person here should be Xiao Hongchen. I heard that he followed the lower-level guilds of Jianghu for a while. Time, and ended up wandering around Lu Bench's place."
"Lu Bench? Dongcheng Meeting?"
"Yes."
Nodding his head, Lost Dream pointed towards the general direction of the Free City outside the tent: "Perhaps the environment in that place is more suitable for his temperament, but -"
"This news is now out of date. I can't guarantee whether he is still there." He quickly added, and the bald player continued: "I have never contacted him again. You can only confirm everything by yourself. .”
"...Where is the evil young man in Jie City?"
"As I said before, I never heard from him again."
"Did something really happen to him?"
"I don't know, we don't know each other in reality."
"..."
"There are also two people, Qianzhihe and Enyu Ninglan. You should know better than me. After all, they should also be your confidante in reality, right?"
"Although, the news in real life is no longer the first-hand information I can get... Ahem, there is another person, I remember his name is Black Corn, right? I remember later when I was in the Imperial Tanzanian City, I I’ve even met him—”
"He was one of the core members of the New Fool Adventure Group later, and he was also the only one who was successfully recalled by her." Lost Dream replied calmly: "But this news should be a thing of the past. After all, since the prince of the principality After the attack, anyone who still wants to play the game will not be able to tolerate being part of a team that exists in name only."
"I heard that he has now been elected as the president of the branch, independent of the jurisdiction of Mengzhu, who has been missing for a long time."
The bald man opened the door curtain.
"You should be hanging around in Area F of Sky City now."
