The pair of players, Yinzhu and Yunmeng, seem to be no longer unknown in the entire virtual world player group, just because their pursuit and escape deeds have traveled to most corners of the free world. I don’t know if it is because of deliberate arrangement or accidental For this reason, this pair of enemies unconsciously showed the tip of the iceberg of their wonderful fights to the players many times, and along with it, their names gradually became more and more famous - according to witnesses from various places. Various follow-up reports and eloquent arrangements by Internet busybodies, a magnificent and nearly life-and-death grudge story was gradually woven into the process of the two sworn enemies' pursuit, escape and fight. However, even if you ignore these The background reasons of the story and the authenticity of the story. The element itself of "the lone wolf master who once had the courage to challenge authority was beaten bloody by another mysterious player" has become the easiest way to attract the public's attention and make the public obsessed. One of the curious gimmicks.
However, from the perspective of the parties involved, they may not like to view this reason as a gimmick, or they may not intend to make such a reason public.
"Performance?"
Frowning and repeating these two words, Yinzhu stopped for a moment before moving forward. The body covered by the heavy-looking metal armor also moved slightly towards Duan Qing's position. , seemed to want to express his dissatisfaction in this way: "It seems that this clause was not included in your previous 'contract'."
"The problem is that you didn't follow the contract properly." Duan Qing, still outlining the purple runes, retorted with disapproval: "Didn't I ask you to help explain for a day and share some of the pressure with Blossoms? Why? Did you come here suddenly?"
"I have always been responsible for this guy." Pointing to Yue Meng who was still struggling in the ruins at the far end, Yinzhu's magnetic low voice also showed that it was natural: "Since I found him swaggering in my How can I make sense without taking action under my nose?"
"Then you can't blame us for being broadcast." Duan Qing crossed his arms and nodded in agreement: "We can't keep the audience waiting just because the work in the commentary box has stopped, right? Let them enjoy other fun. Okay."
"Let's not talk about whether this kind of battle will cause trouble for your commentary work."
Glancing at Duan Qing's face indifferently, Yinzhu returned his attention to Yunmeng in front of him: "Even if there is one less person in the commentary box, your game should not be affected. You go on to deal with it. Your challenger, I will continue to capture him - is there any conflict between the two?"
"So you are going to violate the entrusted work we agreed on before?" Duan Qing asked back: "Be careful I don't pay you wages."
"I seem to be the kind of person who cares about salary?" Yinzhu replied without emotion: "Compared with this guy in front of me, how can I take your rewards seriously?"
"Then for whom was the interest you showed earlier for?" Then the gray-robed magician waved his hand in the air: "Well, since you gave up, I am also happy to save some money for our adventure group. And - —”
"It's time to talk about the game."
The airflow and dust in the mountain stream gradually subsided as the rolling rocks disappeared. The tense and tense atmosphere between the masters also eased a little. The third person who appeared here also used what he said next, It successfully diverted the attention of the two people present: "Don't you think there is no conflict between the two? In fact, there is."
"This Mr. Yumeng is our next challenger."
After gesturing to the position of another player in the distance, Duan Qing continued calmly: "Because of you, this game is being delayed... How are you going to deal with this?"
"...Ha." Putting away his sword and shield, Yinzhu turned to the gray-robed magician with a hint of sneer in his expression: "A temporary lie."
"What are you doing? I decided the final order of the challenge. I challenge whoever I meet. Is there any problem?" Duan Qing raised his neck with a matter-of-fact expression: "Or do you want to question Yun Meng's participation? Qualification? He is one of the players who survived the main competition! It is guaranteed to be true!"
"...Of course I know he is qualified to participate." Ignoring Duan Qing who was arguing, Yinzhu returned his gaze to the front: "I have also watched his competition process. In terms of my evaluation, , that was just the result of opportunism and cleverness."
"Ha, you want to use your own evaluation to deny my achievements?" A distant sneer from Yunmeng came from in front of him: "Are you dissatisfied? Huh? There's nothing you can do if you don't accept it. If I win, I win! Haha! Ha ha!"
"I can assert that with the level of strength he has shown, he is not qualified to duel with you at all." Ignoring the other party's sneer, Yinzhu looked at Duan Qing's face again: "No matter what role you played in this process Such a character, why would I deliberately open a backdoor for this guy? My goal of catching him back will not be affected in any way."
"So the result of the battle between you will affect our competition." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's easy to say if you lose, but if you win and really capture him, our finals Isn’t there another contestant missing out of thin air?”
"Childish reason." Yinzhu slowly raised his sword: "Does this mean you are determined to stop me?"
"I have no plans to continue to increase the number of exhibition matches. I just want to try to persuade you to give up this pursuit." Duan Qing stretched out his hand to the other side and said: "At least wait until I finish fighting with him. How about that? ?”
"..."
Just looking at Duan Qing, Yinzhu fell silent and did not speak for a while. Yunmeng, who had recovered, approached again with an increasingly violent attitude. The blazing energy light group surrounding him seemed to be Ye Zhan became even more fierce than before: "He will definitely not agree! How could a guy who is as stubborn as the rocks in the pit watch his prey fly away so easily?"
"It's useless to provoke me." The sword blade in Yinzhu's hand began to outline the huge sword-shaped brilliance again: "Only people with weak will will be shaken by the words of outsiders. A real warrior will not change himself easily. The decision can be called a reason——"
"There is only a weapon called 'reason'."
The huge sword blade came into contact with the blazing energy ball in the air, and once again created brilliant sparks that were more dazzling than the sun. Yinzhu, who moved forward with his sword, did not care about the outcome of this contest, and turned his eyes again. Duan Qing's direction: "Do you have such a weapon?"
"Oh, you can't let me force a war with you in order to protect my future opponents." Duan Qing, who was bathing in the burst of energy with his hands behind his back, curled his lips and turned away. Head: "This is not in line with my usual style."
"Then just stand aside and watch." Yinzhu's eyes no longer contained any brilliance of emotion: "I can guarantee that everything will be over soon -"
"But I have another weapon, and that is to 'negotiate terms.'" Duan Qing's voice echoed in the burst of air, but the voice containing magic instantly overshadowed Yinzhu's words: "As a senior As an adventurer, what I’m best at is negotiating terms, for example…how about this?”
"I can hunt for you."
Spreading his hands forward, the gray-robed magician continued to use the voice of magic to incite his mouthpiece: "The match between me and Yumeng - or the duel, will become a substitute for 'hunting'. If I win, Not only will I not continue to protect him, but I will give him a beautiful tie-up and hand it to you with my own hands, how about it?"
"——Oh?" The huge sword energy was still confronting the enemy, but Yinzhu's voice turned around and sounded a little more interested: "Are you trying to represent me?"
"Your ultimate goal is to take him back, and my ultimate goal is just to fight with him. The two are not completely in conflict." As if he did not feel the pressure of the other party, Duan Qing continued to point at Yumeng in the sky: "Now The problem is that you are too anxious, insisting on taking him away before we can decide the winner, and forcibly adding a trouble to our game... You don't want us to come to you to ask for someone in the future. Is it troublesome to add new ones?”
"So we just need to change the order: we fight first." The gray-robed magician pointed at his chest: "We won't let you wait in vain. As compensation for giving up the opportunity, you don't have to If you waste any more energy, there will be one less unnecessary battle, and it also comes with door-to-door service – isn’t it very comfortable?”
"It is indeed comfortable, but not safe." Yinzhu found a breakthrough in Duan Qing's conditions as quickly as possible: "What if you lose?"
"I lost? Oh, then I really can't catch you." Duan Qing, who was slightly delayed for a moment, suddenly clapped his hands: "Oh my, I really haven't thought about this possibility."
"...The word "failure" has never been in the dictionary?" Yinzhu smiled for the first time since he appeared. He pushed out the huge sword energy in front of him at will: "Very good, it fits what you left for me. character image."
"Do you agree?" Duan Qing also laughed as the frantic atmosphere around him calmed down again: "Haha, I didn't have much hope for a peaceful resolution of this matter. I didn't expect it... Hey, it's not fast yet. Thank you for thanking me?"
"Hello?"
He turned around and looked in the direction where the mountainous sword energy had just blasted away. The dark clouds that were originally filled there had turned into a clear sky due to the new round of confrontation with the accumulated energy. The empty look looked better than the last time. The clear lake water needs to be cleaner: "——Holy crap, you ran away?"
"Is this also part of the exchange you just agreed on?" He breathed out softly, but the smile on Yinzhu's face became more and more obvious: "You will be responsible for catching him, right? ?”
"Damn it, I screamed so loudly before, but finally did this." Duan Qing closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then gritted his teeth bitterly: "He should have used his ancestral random space magic to escape into the wilderness. I don’t know where to start if I want to trace it—I said, you should have some clues, right?”
"During the previous escape, he had been looking for these energy springs." Pointing to the mountains nearby, Yinzhu, who was silent for a moment, replied in a low voice: "It should have something to do with the energy orbs in his hands. Then It should be some kind of collection, if I count correctly, he should have collected about four."
"That doesn't match what I know." Duan Qing frowned: "One, two, three... wait a minute, I seem to understand, thank you for reminding me."
"Then I'll go back." Putting away his sword, Yinzhu ignored the battlefield that he had turned upside down: "I look forward to your good news, agent."
"Born to have a hard life, a hard life." Duan Qing scratched his head in distress: "Whether it is an exhibition match or a main match, everything is ruined now."
"We have to choose our next opponent again."
***************************************
The flames of war burning around Xifeng County are still spreading everywhere, and the sky stained by gunpowder smoke has never stopped showing its gloominess even in the middle of the night. The players' charge that has also never stopped continues to be maintained by the light cut by the magic bombing. The momentum of the attack and the never-extinguished fighting enthusiasm almost completely dissipated the coldness that represented winter. Unlike the guild elites who have gone through various trainings and experienced various battles, most ordinary players who came to participate in this battle could not quickly adapt to the battle rhythm and complex battle environment in the dark, and died again and again. Due to low-level reasons such as "limited vision" and "inaccurate coordination", most of them had to stop their futile "two-point-one-line" running from the resurrection point to the battlefield, and slowed down the pace of advancement a little. .
"Hoo, ho, ho...I'm tired, I'm exhausted."
"I have to say that this group of restorers is really tough, and their strength can be considered one of the more powerful enemies we have ever fought in our lives - wait a minute, why haven't we finished killing so many? There are so many of them. Are players mixed in?"
"Maybe some strange refresh mechanism was triggered? Or maybe they have some way to create unlimited troops?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know. Just let the people in the big guilds have a headache. I just want to eat well and drink well, and then go to bed early... Well, how was the previous game?"
More and more leisurely people have retired from the front line, and more and more people are paying attention to the competition on the other side. However, until that unexpected exhibition match was abandoned halfway, the game broadcast channels located in major taverns fell into silence again. The players gathered inside and outside the tavern dispersed less and less in the increasingly idle leisure, and the online discussions became more and more noisy. The gossiping wars maintained the game during this half-time break. The heat finally turned into an uproar with the appearance of a statement.
The organizing committee of the new league event announced: Handsome Jack became the first winner in the finals.
