"Do you remember the last time we sat and drank together?"
"...Sorry, my memory is not very good."
"Have a bad memory? Did you not pay attention to it at all?"
"Why, it's not like I didn't exclude you - that night three years ago, I had already decided to give up everything."
A bright fire lit up on the horizon in the distance, and the violent energy collision almost replaced the bright light emitted by the sun. The two men facing each other against the rock just glanced there for a moment, and then turned their gazes. He fell back again and said: "A good man will not mention his bravery in the past. If there is any problem, he will use his current fists to speak. Otherwise... wouldn't it be unfair to those who seek revenge and challenge me?"
"I'm not here to fight with you." So the short-haired young man shook half of his arm: "I'm not participating, and I don't plan to play, I just want to catch up with you."
"Really? Why don't I believe it?" Duan Qing still looked at the other party with squinting eyes: "You have gotten to your current position, but you still have a way to stay out of it?"
"You fucking can't even get out of the house, how can you possibly know where I am now and to what extent I am?" The short-haired young man who pressed one hand on the rock sneered: "You are behind the times, Lao Den. .”
"What did you say? You prickly head!"
"Prickly, hedgehog hair? Do you know how much effort it took me to get the system to recognize my hairstyle? Young people should follow the trend and seize their youth! How can I be like you, wandering around like begging for food every day? …”
"Is this what he is doing to beg for food? This is a robe, a universal robe, do you understand? If you can't speak, just say a few words to me, or I'll beat you up!"
"It seems there is no way to get over it."
The short-haired young man pressed his hands on the surface of the rock platform in front of him, and the expression on his face became serious: "Then let's solve it the old way."
"Hmph, don't cry for a while." The two people looked at each other across the ledge, and Duan Qing also tightened his body: "Are you ready?"
"Three, two, one..."
"hammer!"
In a stroke that filled up the momentum and almost blew away all the dust around them, the two people stretched out their right hands in the air at the same time. The two gestures of a fist and a palm also faced each other in the air as the momentum spread. What followed was a young player who couldn't help but laugh triumphantly: "Hahahahahaha! I won!"
"Three, best of three! Come again!"
"Come on, you were such a scumbag before."
The overflowing smile could not be suppressed, and the short-haired young man put away his right hand with disdain: "If you are willing to gamble, you have to admit defeat. You taught me this way of winning. Why do I want to regret it now that I can't win?"
"Then let's switch to punching." Duan Qing grinded his teeth with black lines on his face: "Or arm-wrestling-what, I am a magician, don't you dare to accept it?"
"I don't know about you yet? You're a guy who talks nonsense." He shook his arms and stood up straight again. The short-haired young man's gold-rimmed cuffs also reflected the gleaming light under the pull of his hands: "You're full of bad ideas. People are full of bad ideas no matter what they do, even children - you say you are a magician and you are a magician? Do you think I haven't watched the previous game videos?"
"It turns out that I came prepared." Duan Qing, who twisted his neck, sneered: "I thought that after these three years, you, a missing person, knew nothing about me. It turns out that you are also like those Are you staring at me every day like a perverted voyeur?"
"Who is staring at you every day? And I didn't disappear, okay?" The young man glared, and the next sentence he wanted to blurt out suddenly changed: "Wait, have you contacted me?"
"That's right, during the first period when I disappeared." Duan Qing's voice returned to calmness: "But after hearing the news, I no longer worried."
"..."
The fist wrapped in gloves fell slowly. The short-haired young man seemed to have been in a state of despair for a period of time. The distant battlefield shouts of death and three or two explosions from the bottom of the mountain also passed through the mountain stream with a sense of earth-shaking impact. , woke him up while he was still deep in thought: "Ahem, forget it, let him let go of the past."
"I think so too." Duan Qing, who put his hands on his hips, nodded and smiled: "And looking at you now, you are doing well anyway... Braised Big Pineapple? What kind of strange name is this?"
"How nice it sounds." He gestured to the tip of his nose with his fingers. The proud look on the short-haired young man's face disappeared instantly: "Anyway, I don't really need to take care of things, so it's just a name."
"Really? But I remember that the people in Devil's Paradise still respect you as the president?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "That Mephisto and Sansheng Fish Pond, they are communicating I mentioned your name intentionally or unintentionally, and there was no disrespect in my words——"
"Because they are just a bunch of idle people."
He waved his hand to interrupt Duan Qing's words, and the iron chain connected between the short-haired young man's arm and shoulder armor also swayed with a clear and crisp sound: "I have been a polished commander since I joined the alliance, and my title looks very good. I'm bluffing, but I don't have a single soldier under my command. My father saw that I was bored, so he said he would allocate a few of his men to me. But later I found out that the few 'men' who were allotted to me were all Guys who don’t have much of a future in Cerulean City, or who have bad conduct, make trouble, and are in the gray class.”
"Of course, they still have some real skills under their hands, and it took me a lot of effort to establish authority in their hearts." Speaking of which, the short-haired young man gave a thumbs up behind him: " Although I didn’t make it to the finals in the end, you should have seen your professional level and combat quality, is it okay?”
"Of course it's possible if you can get into the seventh place in one of the eight major guilds of the old alliance." Duan Qing curled his lips and replied: "It would be better if I could change my life a little bit and practice my ability to speak well. alright."
"Didn't I let them go to the Shenshan Mountain to work in the territory? Isn't this considered changing their fate against the will of heaven?" The short-haired young man raised his head with dignity: "I told them to expand their business. Anyway, the guild's internal development policy and They have no control over the direction of development, they will just go wherever the best is."
"Really? I thought you would have gone to the Magic Empire." Duan Qing pointed to the front of the battlefield not far away from the two of them: "Their potential looks very good."
"Of course, our Demon Paradise also has corresponding business in the Magic Empire." The smile on the short-haired young man's face gradually faded: "This is also the main reason why I took the risk to come to you this time."
"They should be moving soon."
Leaning forward slightly, the short-haired young man propped his elbows on the rock: "The 'Azure Sky Realm' is just one of the holes they dug in the earth veins. There should be many more holes like this."
"What is their purpose?"
"have no idea."
With half of his face buried between his supporting fists, the short-haired young man continued mysteriously: "They have a big project. The resources they previously plundered in the southern part of the principality, as well as many of the large resources they had secretly accumulated, are all It's obviously going there - that's all I know."
"It seems that our joint operations are timely." Duan Qing curled his lips: "The incident at Longzhong may become the trigger for accelerated changes, and their response to sending additional troops also proves this... …Where is the specific location?”
"South." The short-haired young man moved his fingers slightly in front of his face: "As long as you are serious, you should be able to notice it. Besides... that project will probably be completed soon."
"In other words, the ownership of the 'Blue Sky Domain' will become very important?"
"I don't know about this, I haven't seen the plan." The young man responded to Duan Qing's question with a blink of an eye: "But one thing I can guess is: the Magic Council probably doesn't care much about the subsequent development of the 'Blue Sky Realm'. The level of discussion within parliament is not as high as expected, and it may be that that part of the plan has already been completed.”
"Then why did they send so many people here to rob?" Duan Qing pointed to the battlefield below: "There were also times before when they did not hesitate to send out Christine and Rondall, the two bosses of dozens of void beasts. Throw it right in our faces——"
"That should be an accident. At least I and the alliance have never heard such a combat order." The short-haired young man shook his head and replied: "Of course, it is possible that they bypassed me and issued this order, but the current situation within the alliance There are not many people who can bypass me and issue orders, and you can find out with just a little research."
"As for the other question, I think you should be able to guess the answer." Standing upright again, the short-haired young man turned around and snapped his fingers: "Although I took advantage of insiders, but I think the idea is the same.”
"Are you going back?" Looking at the other party's disappearing figure, Duan Qing said with regret, "What a pity. I originally wanted to buy you a drink."
"Stop joking."
Putting one hand in his pocket and making a cool pose, the short-haired young man waved without looking back: "Originally, I only have so much time to steal, and even less time to go online. If you never come, I will You should have left a long time ago! You have excellent time management, Mr. Sky-Breaking Blade."
"Aren't you a very busy person now?" Duan Qing smiled nonchalantly: "That's fine, let's do it next time."
"Next time? Next time I will be at 'Sea Blue Wind'. Do you dare to come?"
When the white light disappeared, the short-haired young man looked back at Duan Qing. The latter smiled bitterly in response to that gaze, and his movement of shaking his head in denial paused for a moment: "I'll try my best."
"……snort."
With a last cold snort, the figure of the short-haired young man dressed in a steampunk style disappeared on the other side of the rock. Duan Qing, who was watching the other party leave, cast his last nostalgic look at the sky, and then packed up. My mood soared again: "Okay, the next problem needs to be solved."
The dazzling light was still erupting on the horizon in the distance, accompanied by the trembling rumbling sounds that continued to plow through the mountains. The gray-robed magician who kept moving forward along these thunderous muffled sounds soon found it. He started looking for a safe place to watch the battle from a long distance away from his destination: "Oh my, my, the fighting was really intense - Hey! The top of the mountain is almost flattened by you!"
"Shut the fuck up!"
I don't know whether he was distracted by Duan Qing's shout or because he was at a disadvantage in the previous battle. Yumeng, who was squeezed out of the light ball, yelled back with a look of displeasure and a huge energy bundle wrapped around him: "Stand there and wait! You're next!"
"Okay, I admit that you are now qualified to challenge me." Duan Qing, who was hiding behind one of the mountain ridges, shrugged his shoulders and looked at the other mountain ridge that had been cut into barbs. One side: "But if you waste your magic power like this, how can you fight me in the future?"

He received no further answer. Only countless explosive hurricanes pressing downwards smoothed the sides of another mountain ridge along the edge of the wind pressure. The figure of Yumeng who roared was also swallowed up by the light group again, and the spherical The energy aura also continued to spread and surge as he rushed forward: "Drink ah ah ah! Go to me -"
boom!
The energy light ball like a meteor hit a real mountain - or a mountain wall made of huge sword energy. It made a new round of chest-suffocating roars in the wild air flow, and had to hold on to the magic. Duan Qing, who was shielding, then regained control of his evasive figure, and in the thousands of scattered sword energy, he could distinguish the figure behind the "mountain wall": "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really——"
"Immaculate."
Overshadowing the brilliant light of the energy light ball, the standing wall of sword energy gradually pressed down in the direction of Yue Meng. Yue Meng, who was unable to stop the collapse, was about to explode as the two energies clashed. He suddenly disappeared before swallowing himself, and appeared at the other end of the valley with a unique magic trail of space teleportation: "Damn it, you are an old and immortal guy, can't you run out of strength?"
"Compared to the power obtained by using external objects, of course your own power is more reliable."
In the brilliant rainbow caused by the collapse of the sword wall, the broad figure belonging to Yinzhu also appeared at the end of Duan Qing's field of vision. Holding the shield and sword, he first confirmed the status of his opponent, and then the corner of his eye gradually turned to the gray robe. Magician: "You should agree with this statement."
"Don't ask me, I'm an outsider." Pointing to the sky above each other's heads, Duan Qing clarified: "You beat yourselves, I will be responsible for broadcasting your wonderful performance to everyone."
"Although it has nothing to do with the main game, the grudge match between our special guests and the seeded players should still heat up the atmosphere a little bit."
