"These xx people are all talking nonsense."
The wine glass in his hand fell heavily to the ground. Handsome boy Jack's young and handsome face was condensed into a tangled expression amidst the splashes of wine and glass fragments. Because of the appearance of that notice, he became a missing person. At this time, he was surrounded by countless players who rushed to the tavern. The body that seemed to be of low level and without any strength also burst out with huge power in the confrontation with the handsome Jack himself: "You mean to say , you don’t acknowledge the victory ‘sent’ to you by the Sky-Breaking Blade, do you?”
"Send it away? Yes, in terms of results, it is indeed no different from the one sent, but my wonderful performance in the underground dragon tomb is also an undeniable fact! I didn't even -"
"Does that mean you admit it? The new young president of Borderland has now become the first person to defeat the Sky-Breaking Blade?" Another short-haired young man gathered here held up the shining magic gem in his hand. , almost wanting to put his excited expression and raised fingers under the cowboy hat of handsome Jack: "You became the first winner of this series of challenges?"
"Yes, really? This is really...ahem! No! I didn't really defeat that man at all! He did it without authorization - well, in short, their declaration is untrue! Totally irresponsible! The relationship between us The game is not over at all!”
"The Sky-Breaking Blade in history is not invincible or invincible."
Squinting his eyes at the recently returned President, who was surrounded by people, Duan Shanyue, who was hiding in the distance of the tavern, barely covered his face by raising his glass. Even in the corner of the wine table, his huge body is very conspicuous, but at this moment, he is no longer the one who is present: "Even in the previous professional competitions, his record was not 100% winning. If I There is no fallacy in his memory, and the word 'defeat' often appears on him who has just risen to fame, and it has not caused any big waves in the professional world."
"Of course, from the perspective of today's era, he was also very good at that time." Another strong man sitting at the wine table also put down his glass and said with a low smile: "I have never experienced him. In the earlier era when he debuted, when his name came to my ears, the words "Sky-Breaking Blade" were already close to becoming synonymous with invincibility, so at that time, once someone defeated him in a formal occasion, then He must be a master among masters, a strong one among the strong, and he will definitely be able to take on a huge role in the professional world."
"Oh? What you mean by this is that you look down on the handsome Jack, right?" Duan Shanyue looked at him with a provocative expression: "He is the guild president of Borderlands, and he was personally admitted by the Sky-Breaking Blade that he is not as good as him. The guy on the other side! Even if he is super invincible and makes a big show, in a hundred years, which history book can still remember these details? "
"Indeed, even if they are released into the sea, not everyone can win the face of the Sky-Breaking Blade." With an expression of agreement, the burly drinking buddy replied with a look of deep approval: "Although His character has always been bohemian, going his own way, acting in an unconstrained style, and uncertain about good and evil, but at least in terms of his desire for victory and respect for duel, this man who has always pursued the strongest has never slackened or given up."
"The Sky-Breaking Blade has changed - is this what you want to say?"
Taking a sip of the wine in the glass, Duan Shanyue once again glanced at the handsome Jack, who was surrounded by countless players like reporters. More players who had received the news were also rushing towards this scene. He blocked the door of the tavern and temporarily blocked his original intention to leave: "By the way, why are you here? Aren't you Wizard busy?"
"Most of the things in the meeting are left to the scholars, and I don't have anything to do." The burly man shook his red cloak and groaned, then put down the wine glass in his hand: "Now the whole world is... During the war, I originally thought that Liberty City would be the quietest place, but now it seems it’s not very quiet either.”
"You should go to the Holy Mountain." Duan Shanyue threw his body back into the seat with a thud, and the creaking sound did not seem so harsh amidst the hustle and bustle in the tavern hall ahead: "The Continent of Wind is currently being developed by Juezan. , those local tribes are also opening up their own clan affairs one by one, and issuing a large number of commissions to players. These should be the things that you, Wizard, are most interested in."
"Don't get me wrong, the Mage Council is our main position, because we, Wizard, aim to be the best in the professional field of magicians." Luo Riguyan replied with a muffled grunt: "Most of the excitement we went to join in was also It is intentional for the development purpose of our guild. These ideas are also the thoughts of scholars, and I have no interest in worrying about that."
"Then tell me your opinion, you ordinary drinker." Duan Shanyue turned his head indifferently: "What do you think is going on?"
"It's not like we didn't watch the live broadcast of the match just now. Do you have any other opinions?" Luo Riguyan laughed loudly: "The performance of handsome Jack is put there, and the result of the final battle is also put there. Is there anything else? Didn’t Blossoms explain the clear part?”
"Don't pretend to be stupid, you know what I want to ask." Duan Shanyue gently rotated the wine glass in his hand: "Why did the Sky-Breaking Blade do this?"
"It's nothing more than selling Handsome Jack a favor to make him not care so much about this incident, and win over Borderlands at the same time." Luo Riguyan sneered and replied: "After this battle, Borderlands will definitely become famous. , Improving the guild’s status is a trivial matter, but using this opportunity to recruit more talents and improve its strength is the last word. With Handsome Jack’s IQ, he will definitely not let go of this perfect opportunity.”
"Ha, as expected, he is the president of Wizard. He always looks at problems in such a utilitarian way."
Shaking his head involuntarily, Duan Shanyue casually pushed the wine glass in his hand onto the wine table: "As someone who has been here, I have to remind you, a utilitarian person, of course. I wonder if your Excellency, the President, is willing to listen?"
"Appreciate further details."
"Handsome Jack will definitely not agree."
Looking again at the young cowboy who continued to deny in the crowd of reporters, Duan Shanyue suppressed the smile on his face: "In my opinion, it's not so much that the Sky-Breaking Blade is selling him this. The favor, rather, it was the Sky-Breaking Blade that was repaying the favor. After all, as the president of Borderlands and the challenger in the finals, this handsome cowboy still did a lot in the battle in the Dragon Tomb. force."
"Handsome Jack himself will definitely not admit this, so Sky-Breaking Blade has no choice but to give him something other than gratitude." Speaking of this, the second master of Jianghu snorted: "Everything is the result of fate. If If someone from our world had appeared in this competition, the situation would definitely be different."
"Oh, really?" Luo Rigu Yan lowered his head silently: "You are sure you won't help me?"
"No, we can handle everything ourselves." Duan Shanyue replied unceremoniously: "The Blade of Duan Tian may pretend to be taking advantage of others, but he will definitely find an opportunity to compensate us afterwards. This is His way of doing things.”
"It seems that the friendship between you old-school guilds has been preserved to this day." So Luo Riguo Yan snorted coldly: "There is also your 'face-saving' problem."
"Just treat it like this." This time it was Duan Shanyue who stood up: "I'm ready to leave, you continue to drink."
"You've asked me so many questions, but you haven't told me your plans yet." The voice belonging to Lueyi Guyan then sounded behind the burly man: "What is your purpose here, Mr. Vice President? "
"Same as you." Duan Shanyue strode away without looking back and replied: "You came to visit and I came to visit. If you told a lie just now, then I will tell a lie."
"Ha, as expected, ginger is still hotter when old." Luo Riguyan replied with a malicious look on his face: "But I still got some news from some channels: I heard that you didn't come alone?"
"It seems you know it very well." The movement towards the crowd at the entrance of the tavern stopped for a moment, and Duan Shanyue finally tilted his head: "That's right."
"According to normal arrangements, it should be your and my turn next."
The noisy corridors and the crowded crowd inside and outside the tavern covered the subsequent sneer from Broken Mountain, and also covered the continuous shouting from handsome boy Jack. Unable to bear it, the Borderlands Guild Leader also hung up himself not long after. A personal statement, severely condemning the irresponsible behavior of the new alliance and denying the result of his previous victory in the duel. The strange scene of "neither side admitting their victory" was subsequently staged in front of all the hotly debated players, adding a layer of hot oil to the already lively online discussion. As the person involved in the incident, , a certain gray-robed magician was also sitting in the central square of the Sky City, accepting the murmuring criticism: "Now do you know why so many old players and old professional players hate you? Is there any lower limit to your emotional intelligence? ah?"
"I thought the biggest problem with this move would be the follow-up operations of the challenge itself. After all, maintenance operations after a winner is very important. The enthusiasm of both the audience and the challengers needs to be supported." He closed his eyes. I don't know what kind of meditation he was doing, but Duan Qing's expression remained unchanged: "I didn't expect that he would have such a big backlash... Sigh, if I had known better, I wouldn't have said anything."
"You also came up with the idea of broadcasting the game. Whether it was against the Immortal Star Soul or against Handsome Jack, everyone watched the battle process." Standing aside and looking at the crowds coming and going in the square, he muttered. Face continued helplessly: "Even if there is no official explanation, the audience will have their own judgment on the result of your game, not to mention how many fans of the Sky-Breaking Blade are among these spectators, how can you still feel in your heart? Don’t you have a count?”
"Okay, okay, I will reconsider the next release...ahem, battle selection, try to make the game look more reasonable." Duan Qing sighed and replied: "It seems that I am really old, and I am too hot. It seems that the prosecution is not as clean and tidy as before... Then we withdraw that statement?"
"Why are you withdrawing?" The blue-haired swordswoman replied with a sigh: "As long as you deal with the public opinions that some people deliberately want to take advantage of to criticize you, the rest is not a big problem. If you withdraw again , the credibility of the new alliance will really be affected."
"I always feel that it shouldn't be a big deal." Duan Qing, who had his eyes closed, replied with a blank look on his face: "Forget about those families, even Liangchen Meiyu probably didn't put his thoughts on our side - by the way, the frontline Don’t I need you anymore?”
"After symbolically killing a few enemies and helping to fight two bosses together to boost morale, my duty will be considered completed." Whispering words tilted his head and revealed a low smile: "Of course, I currently have another I have received news about the appearance of several boss-level figures from the Magic Empire. If all the issues on your side are handled properly, I will consider going back to stretch my muscles."
"Is there any news about Yunmeng's whereabouts?" So Duan Qing asked naturally: "There is also news from outside."
"Your previous guess may not be wrong."
After a slight pause, he whispered and brushed his long hair at the temples and replied in a low voice: "Like Spartacus, Yun Meng is probably also a figure in the underground class. We followed the clues and searched for a while, and finally found out The organizations and gangs are the same.”
"Is he safe now?"
"I haven't even found him, how do I know if he is safe or not?" Xu Yu Liushang curled his lips angrily: "Instead of caring about that guy who provoked Yinzhu for some reason, it is better to care about yourself! What's next for you? The game starts soon!"
"Come here when the things here are finished." Duan Qing closed his eyes and did not move: "After all, we have discovered the blue sky realm of the Magic Empire, and we still need to prepare the necessary defensive measures... By the way, have you reminded me? thousand?"
"She is also a very busy person now, running errands and doing things for the Council of Seven every day." Xu Yu Liushang pointed to a certain direction behind the square: "Including the other magic apprentices under the great magician, they are all similar to closed disciples. It's the same existence. As your status increases, the tasks you receive will naturally increase."
"At least we should tell her our findings and let her pay attention to it." A relieved smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and Duan Qing's expression, which was closed and meditating, returned to calmness again: "I will be responsible for telling Wiggins, although he and Wei There is an agreement between the two of Erlite, but it is better to inform him of this level of 'action'."
"There is also a place for the next competition."
"I've thought about this a long time ago, before--"
"Wait a moment."
The jade finger pressed against the man's mouth, and the mature and charming chuckle lingered in Duan Qing's ear: "I suddenly feel a little thirsty."
"Buy me a drink."
