"This is my first time entering the parliament hall."
On January 29, 796 in the New Calendar of the Free World, a light rain had just fallen in the early morning in Tania. The leader of the Jiangshan Adventure Group named Jiangshan Ruhua was also being led by Gedman as a guide. Next, walking along Taal Avenue toward the city center where the radial layout converges: "Wow, wow... Wow, wow, it's really eye-opening."
"You've been living in the principality for so long. You haven't even seen the parliament hall, have you?" Hearing the other party's continuous exclamations of surprise, Goldman, who was leading the way, also made a helpless sigh. He sighed: "The parliament hall is not Redcar's palace. As long as they are not deliberately causing trouble, the principal's parliamentarians and nobles are open to visitors. If you want to visit, why don't you just come in?"
"Our Jiangshan Adventure Group is originally a melee dungeon, and Tania is not our main scope of activities." Jiangshan Ruhua, who came back to his senses after hearing this, also shrugged: "Sometimes we receive calls from the capitals of several principalities. Missions, but they usually end with delivering things and finding the mission target. Where is the opportunity to get close to the parliament hall? Do you think we are the kind of big guild that often has the opportunity to rub shoulders with the principality’s members?”
"You can't say this in front of those so-called "big guilds", otherwise you won't be able to leave this city. Goldman, who touched his nose, chuckled and said, "Also - now you are considered a big guild, especially after this competition."
"Look at the enthusiasm of the players who are watching, and you will know it."
Following the gesture of the big shield warrior, Jiangshan's picturesque gaze also fell on the advancing parliament hall. The lively scene was no less than usual and spread out with the hawking of merchants and vendors floating around. Around the Parliament Square, there are scenes from time to time of onlookers pointing in this direction and casting their gazes: "Look! He's coming, he's coming!"
"Jiangshan Adventure Group's Jiangshan is picturesque! I heard that he is the challenger this time! I didn't expect that he would be ranked so low. He appeared later than the masters of Jianghu and the second best in the world... Could it be that he is also the finale? Hidden master?"
"I don't know if he is a master of hiding, but I know the Jiangshan Adventure Group. I remember that their leader is called Yijiang Chunshui? Why did they suddenly change?"
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
At this time, Gu Yanan was also completely stunned.
She had seen a photo of Wei Zhengxian's younger brother Wei Zhengkang, and the appearance of the young man in front of her was exactly the same!
However, the young man did not react at all. He walked directly past Wei Zhengxian and said to the proprietress: "Master Du, can you come over when you have time?"
"Zhengkang!"
Wei Zhengxian grabbed the young man and shouted, "It's me! It's your brother!"
The young man looked at Wei Zhengxian blankly, immediately shook off Wei Zhengxian's hand and said, "You have the wrong person, I don't know you."
"Are you kidding me?"
Indeed, Gu Yanan also felt that it couldn't be another person. Wei Zhengkang is not a popular face. His appearance is about 70% similar to Wei Zhengxian, and he is also an extremely rare handsome man.
"You really got the wrong person." The young man still shook his head: "I only have a younger brother, not an older brother."
"Yes, yes," the landlady also said, "I have watched this guest, A Yuan, grow up. He cannot be your brother."
"Impossible!" Wei Zhengxian shook his head desperately: "The appearance is the same, maybe it is a coincidence, but the voice is exactly the same, how could it be such a coincidence? Besides, you are my brother, how could I not recognize you! Zhengkang! That's it! Yes! After you disappeared, my parents...my parents..."
As he spoke, Wei Zhengxian's voice became choked with sobs.
"Um……"
The young man named A Yuan shook his head desperately and said, "I really don't know you. I grew up in Black Marsh Village since I was a child. You are a guest from out of town, right?"
At this time, Gu Yanan pulled Wei Zhengxian, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Does your brother have any marks on his body, such as... birthmarks or scars?"
Wei Zhengxian shook his head and said, "No."
Gu Yanan thought about it. Reality is not a TV show. What a coincidence. There must be a mark on the separated relatives that can be used to identify each other.
"You are my brother! I can't admit my mistake!" Wei Zhengxian also felt that it was extremely absurd at this time. His biological brother was standing in front of him, and he couldn't recognize him!
My brother has been missing for so long! The legal time period for declaring death has been reached!
, it is a devastating disaster for the entire Wei family. Wei Zhengxian also knew that the reason why his mother was so picky about Yanan was largely related to the disappearance of Zhengkang, which caused her to place all her expectations on herself.
Now...he found it! He finally found his brother!
"Sir." The face of the young man named A Yuan began to look ugly: "I came here to discuss things with the landlady. I have already said that I am not your brother. If you still insist on messing around here, don't blame me for falling out. .”
"Zhengkang, you, have you ever lost your memory?" Wei Zhengxian still refused to give up: "Do you clearly remember all the memories of your life from childhood to adulthood? Take a closer look, don't you think the two of us are very similar?"
At this time, A Yuan was completely angry.
"Can you please stop being so annoying? Do you not understand what people are saying? Forget it, boss lady, I'll come see you in the afternoon. I'll go home and feed the sheep first."
Then, A Yuan walked towards the door of the B&B.
Wei Zhengxian was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Gu Yanan.
"Zheng, Zhengxian... calm down and listen to me..."
But Wei Zhengxian is completely unable to calm down in his current state: "He is my brother! He is my missing brother... We are almost desperate!"
Gu Yanan held Wei Zhengxian tightly, took him to a quiet lounge in the B&B, asked him to sit down, and said, "Listen to me, Zhengxian, he is obviously from this village. We, we If you don’t want to leave, let’s stay in the village for a few days.”
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yanan glanced at the position of the door to make sure that the proprietress outside could not hear him, and said: "
It was just a chance to use the furnace. "Following behind the other party, he answered casually. Jiangshan Ruhua, who was also holding a shield and sword, cast his sizing eyes on the enlarging stone pillars on the left and right sides of the parliament hall: "The furnace is known as "forging everything," so I tried to "forge" myself, and guess what? My character was actually "reforged" to level one, but it still retained its original attributes! Ha ha ha ha! It's simply a miracle. "
"It's equivalent to the character gaining dozens of attribute points out of thin air. It's indeed a very terrifying improvement." Nodding his head, Gedman, who was walking in front, crossed the door line of the parliament hall: "But this It's also bold enough. How can ordinary people think of throwing living creatures into the furnace? And test the knife on themselves first?"
"I just heard this rumor, and I didn't plan to take such a big risk to try it." Jiangshan Ruhua shook his head and replied: "But I had already signed up for the competition. Many of the other contestants and I I also had exchanges with each other, and I felt that if I didn’t come up with some ideas or come up with some unique tricks, I would have no chance to compete with those top professional players, which was also a helpless move.”
"I can only say that you made the right bet." Goldman smiled and turned his head: "Did you change your name at that time?"
"Well - uh."
Following each other's footsteps, they turned half way, and the two people moved sideways along the circular discussion area inside the parliament hall. The interior of the hall, which was surrounded and guarded by many principality guards, looked equally busy. Various announcements and information exchanges were also heard in their ears. Watching one of the maid players who was revealed in an instant disappear from one end of the hall, the amazed Jiangshan Ruhua then gave up the idea of contacting this world that was completely inconsistent with his identity, and he carefully let go. He followed three or two soldiers who were carrying orders carrying large amounts of scrolls in their arms, and finally reluctantly followed Goldman again: "Are you sure you are here?"
"In the back." Understanding what the other party was worried about, Goldman pointed toward the back of the corridor on the side: "I'm sorry for inviting you to such a place that is not suitable for conversation, but there is nothing we can do about it. After all, ...Ahem, you know, that person is very busy."
"Okay, I'm just a little worried." Jiang Shan's picturesque face showed a little uneasiness: "If our pheasant competition accidentally ruins the principality's venue, will those big shots come to come? Our trouble."
"First of all, the fight is definitely not here." Seemingly impatient with the worried look of the player behind him, Gedman exhaled and explained: "Secondly, you don't have to look at these big figures in the principality. No matter how tall they are, they are ordinary people like us."
"For example, Speaker Pamir, he might not even be able to defeat your ordinary members."
Following Gedman's suddenly extended finger, Jiang Shan Ruhua saw a middle-aged man who was talking to people at the end of the long corridor behind the meeting hall. He had just dismissed one of the principal's messengers. Then he also took the parchment page handed to him by a maid player. He just scanned it briefly and nodded lightly: "There is no need for me to review it. You adventurers can decide for themselves. .”
"But my master...my husband said that this will affect the security of Tania." The maid player, who put her hands together in front of her body, bowed lightly, and her voice was as light as a wind chime: "No matter how close the relationship is, as long as If it is within the scope of Tania, it will have an impact on this city, so..."
"You deserve my opening the door for you. This level of permission is nothing compared to your contribution - the old-school congressmen, including Fords, also think so." Pamir smiled and shook his head. He shook his head and said, "Besides, we still have an agreement. As long as the internal disputes can be resolved, we will provide necessary support for your group's future actions, right?"
"This is the action plan for two days later. It was drawn up by Sir when he took the time." He took out another parchment roll with a smart movement, and the maid player once again handed it to Pamir's hand with a smile: "Mr. The schedule is very full, if everything goes well and the above-mentioned actions can be carried out smoothly——"
"I know, I know." He raised his arm to silence the other party's words. Pamir, who took the parchment roll, said solemnly: "There is no problem on my side. The key is Princess Reina's side and... …Um?"
"Ah, we are our guests this time."
As if he had just noticed the arrival of Gedman and Jiangshan Ruhua, Pamir put away the parchment and turned his head, caressing his chest and saluting the two shield warriors who were approaching: "I am Pamir. I hope this trip arrangement will satisfy our guests.”
"No, no, no, no, don't do this, I can't bear it." After recovering from the disappearance of the maid player in the background, Jiang Shan Ruhua hurriedly began to squeeze out the vocabulary he had learned all his life, and his replying voice was also He seemed a little reserved: "Yes, I would be very grateful to see the Speaker in person... Oh, no, it's a great honor——"
"I didn't wait for you two here on purpose. Guests don't have to be so panicked." With a kind look on his face, Pamir tried his best to make the atmosphere more relaxed: "This... er, Mr. Jiangshan Ruhua is also an adventurer. , Adventurers are not subject to the regulations of the principality. As long as they do not disrupt our local security or infringe on the lives and property of our citizens, we are equal."
"This is what I have always thought." After saying this, Pamir stepped back and made way for the two of them: "You must have been invited, right? Then I won't bother you anymore."
"Huh? Ah, okay, okay."
Amid the smile of Gedman in front and the pace of leading the way again, the stunned Jiang Shan Ruhua hurriedly nodded to follow, until the middle-aged man who looked just like an ordinary person disappeared behind him, and there was a vague presence around him. After Wu's observation gaze disappeared from him, the player wiped his forehead and sighed softly: "It's really beyond my expectation. I didn't expect that the Speaker of the Principality would be such a person."
"Didn't you see him at the opening ceremony of the Chicken Beak Cup? "Gedman asked with a smile: "As the leader of a regiment, you should still have this eye for judgment, right?"
"I don't have a good eye for judging people, but I'm quite good at killing people." Shaking his shoulders uncomfortably, Jiang Shan Ruhua curled his lips and replied: "I was lucky enough to get into this competition. At this point, my mind is not as bright as professional players like you."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a professional player, I'm just an ordinary member of the group now." Saying this, Gedman's face still showed pride: "But the Qingling Adventure Group is now If you don’t accept people, it will be very difficult for you to become my teammate! Hahahahahahahaha, here we are.”
The road that seemed longer than a day finally came to an end. The two people stopped outside one of the doors at the back of the parliament hall near the outer circle of the cloister. There were also faint sounds of conversation and low laughter in this half-hidden door. There was a sound coming from inside the door, and it sounded like someone had been chatting happily inside for a long time. In the sunlight cast down from the dome of the parliament hall behind, Gedman, who stopped, took the lead to step aside towards the side of the corridor with a smile on his face, and the figure belonging to the secret language Ninglan was also in front of Jiangshan Ruhua, who originally planned to approach. Appearing suddenly, he bowed to the other party in a capable and calm manner: "Hello, are you Mr. Jiangshan Ruhua?"
"Uh, you are that...that..." Seeing this figure in this hall for the third time, Jiangshan Ruhua's mouth became stuttering again: "That, that person in the rumor -"
"Anyu Ninglan." She tilted her head and showed a cute smile. After straightening up, Anyu Ninglan covered her mouth and took a step back: "I may have been a little rude before, please forgive me."
"They're just my teammates. Why are you calling me so many useless names?" Goldman on the side laughed and patted the opponent on the shoulder: "Go, he's waiting for you."
As if he wanted to dispel all the restraints after entering, Jiangshan Ruhua took a deep breath and shook his head with a wry smile. He gave the two people present a final look of thanks, then opened the door and walked into the room in front of him. . Inside the square room, there was only a small table and wooden seats against the wall. There was a gray-robed magician sitting on one of the seats. He put away the purple runes he used for communication. , then
Then he stood up and stretched out his hand towards the opposite side of the small table: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
"I just came here too, hahahaha."
"That's good."
Looking up and down at the picturesque scenery of Jiangshan, Duan Qing, who was no longer polite, nodded and continued: "I specially invite you here this time to discuss with you the upcoming competition."
"After all, you are also one of the contestants qualified for the finals."
