"The war with the Magic Empire is intensifying, and the western front has been pushed back by the other side."
Entering the noisy parliament hall, Gedman put away the shield in his hand and handed several pieces of intelligence information he had brought to an official of the principality who came forward. He had also just experienced During the melee in the city, he then walked around to a corner next to the parliament hall while cleaning up the battle damage stains on his body: "It should be because the things here have involved some of the empire's energy, so the battle line over there was blocked by the other side. Taking advantage of the loophole...I heard that Bernard even brought some of his people over?"
"It should be Princess Reina's private arrangement, just in case." Asahi Dongsheng, who was lying among the messy tables and chairs in this corner of the council hall, answered and looked listless and tired at this time. : "In order to completely suppress the aggressive momentum of the Magic Empire, the joint front of several countries has also been stretched across the southern border. It is only a matter of time before problems arise. The result is now settled."
"So what should we do about the situation in the west? The Gnau River is not a natural hazard. It would be terrible if the Magic Empire took the opportunity to expand westward and ran into the empire's territory." After looking around at the surrounding situation, Goldman also He threw his body between these seats: "Does the Alliance have any ideas?"
"The things here haven't been dealt with yet, and the information on the front won't be processed so quickly." Asahi Dongsheng had casually covered his face with the file he grabbed from nowhere: "What the hell, Let me rest for a while... Oops! What are you doing?"
"You **** didn't go to the battlefield. Where are you tired?"
He stopped kicking the opponent's butt and continued angrily: "Didn't you go up there with Huan Meng to guard Jian Beidong's amplified move? Did you do anything?"
"Damn, the guardian is also very tired, okay? He has been standing up there watching the show... Ahem, looking back and forth here and there is also very energy-consuming." Asahi Dongsheng, who was rubbing his butt, replied with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Also, please be careful with your words. Those are Boss Huanmeng and Boss Jian Beidong. Don't call them wrong."
"Why, after hanging out with two masters for a while, you feel better about yourself?" Goldman crossed his arms and squinted at each other: "The two of them are people who have made a name for themselves, so it doesn't matter if they give you some face. , but what does that have to do with you?”
"It seems that you haven't fought for a long time. Are you itchy again?" So Asahi Dongsheng finally wiped his sleeves and stood up: "Our one-on-one victory ratio on the grassland was 28 to 19! Today I will Let it add another one!"
"Okay, no more fuss."
The noise made by the two people naturally attracted the attention of other people around the parliament hall. As time passed, the unhappy expressions between them gradually disappeared. Gedman, who curled his lips, took the lead in putting away his gestures. He pulled a chair next to him and sat down slowly: "When I have time and energy, I will educate you. Now is not the time or the place."
"You're right, what should I do if I break someone else's things?" Asahi Dongsheng also twisted his nose and sat down: "They finally lent us such a small place as a base, in case something happens and we are kicked out. , that would be too embarrassing.”
"Where are the others?" Gedman looked up and looked around: "Where is the captain? And where are our favorite troublemakers, masters, masters, masters?"
"I heard that they appeared here just now, and then they ran away to nowhere." He covered the opened file on his face again, and Asahi Dongsheng's answer sounded a little dull: "You can Go ask the guards behind, or go find it yourself, and don't disturb my rest."
"I didn't want to look for them, anyway, they will know the news sooner or later." Then Gedman turned his attention to the other people around him: "Really, after such a big commotion, the people here seem to be... It’s like a normal person, but it feels strange to look at it.”
"This is the quality of being a professional, do you understand?" Asahi Dongsheng replied dully: "What's more, everything is within our plan, there is nothing to panic about, compared to the victory here, The loss of the western front only
It's a small problem, a small problem... wait. "
"Which guild is responsible for guarding there?" Asahi Dongsheng seemed to have thought of a key question. He sat up and grabbed the page from the book on his face: "Is it... Lanshan? Me Remember Cangyun Barrier and its people were guarding there, right?"
"Are you too sensitive? How could there be a problem in Lanshan?" Goldman looked at the other party with squinting eyes: "It's probably because there were too few people, so it was broken through. Don't think so much."
"Arashiyama didn't even participate in the trial we held this time. How come they don't have enough manpower." Asahi Dongsheng rolled his eyes in disbelief: "They might have secretly switched sides, so they went out to work. If you don’t do anything, the Magic Empire is now thriving, why can’t they instigate rebellion against our guild? It’s like——”
Asahi Dongsheng didn't say the next half of the sentence, just because Goldman had already sent a warning look in front of him, and then covered up the topic with a few embarrassing coughs: "Ahem, anyway, with me Knowing Cangyun Barrier, he shouldn’t be able to do such a thing that would outrage both humans and gods.”
"Yo? Are you so sure?" Asahi Dongsheng slowly put his body back into his seat: "How do you know them so well? Are you familiar with him?"
"As long as you are a shield player, there is no one who doesn't know the reputation of the Cang Yun Barrier." Gedman just replied casually: "A person who can break through the "One Man Takes the Level" reputation doesn't look like him at all. People who will easily betray their camp, Lanshan has persisted in the Fleur Empire for so long, and even the arrival of the Wings of Freedom did not shake their status even a little bit."
"But people's hearts can change." Asahi Dongshengzhuangruo replied unintentionally: "If you don't believe me, ask yourself."
"..."
The conversation fell into a brief silence. I don't know whether it was because the two people were too tired or the content of the conversation had entered an unspeakable dead end. Asahi Dongsheng, who had his arms folded in front of his chest, then tilted his head and said, The page on his face fell to the ground: "Let me tell you, how are you going to solve your problem? It's already reached this time."
"...What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"Come on, you know what I'm talking about."
Giving the opponent a sarcastic smile, Asahi Dongsheng straightened his body and closed his eyes: "There happens to be a game now, you can take this opportunity to solve it."
"...Impossible." Goldman also closed his eyes and shook his head: "For no reason, there is no reason for me to play."
"Just because you are a member of the Qingling Adventure Group and a teammate with that man." Asahi Dongsheng gestured and pointed above his head: "Isn't this enough?"
"What's so great about being on the same team with that guy? Can it increase my strength by two points?" Gedman blew his hair angrily: "Although he did teach me in the past. With some combat experience, he even made this set of shield swords specially for me, but——"
"But what?"
"...No, it's nothing."
After closing his mouth and hesitating for a moment, Goldman finally did not speak out the next words, but bluntly refused: "Anyway, I won't do this. It's too shameless."
"What if it's an order from the team?"
A calm voice suddenly appeared at the edge of the hall not far away from the two of them. The two of them hurriedly raised their heads, and what caught their eyes was the slender figure of Xue Ling Huan Bing who had walked up to them at some point: "If it's me as the captain, Will you agree to assign you to participate in the competition?"
"Hey, Captain, why are you here?" The two stood up and looked at each other. In the end, Asahi Dongsheng was the first to offer his own smile: "I heard that you also shined in this battle, Show off your skills! The Principality, Empire, Mage Council and major guilds all look up to you with admiration——"
"Is bragging enough to get to the point? What happened this time, regardless of the superiors, was as cold as ice: "It's true that you two played a part, so if you want to thank you, just thank yourselves."
"Ah? Is that so? Uh...ahhahahahaha." So Asahi Dongsheng had to grab the back of his head and continued to laugh awkwardly: "Then, that's really a pity, we didn't let our Qingling Adventure Group The number one master takes action to let the vast community of players have a glimpse of it - well, where have you been before?"
"Watching some idiot jump out of the car."
Glancing at the other person's face again, Xueling Huanbing replied lightly, and then waved to them respectively without waiting for the two people to react: "Okay, stop joking and come with me."
"Hey, can you give me some time to rest?" Asahi Dongsheng's complaint came from behind her: "We are so busy that we haven't even had a drink of water. We just wanted to stay in this corner. I’m being lazy here—ouch.”
"That's you, not me." He casually clasped the long-handled blade thrown aside on his body. Gedmane, who was on the side, had already picked up his shield and followed Snow Spirit Huanbing's footsteps: "If you want to continue Rest here, that’s up to you.”
"...Hang." So Asahi Dongsheng, who was holding his weapon, had no choice but to get up: "Okay, I was born to work hard - where to go next?"
"Blue Tavern."
As if he was sure that these two people would follow, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was walking in front, didn't even look back: "Let's go gather."
"Blue Tavern? Is there such a tavern in Tania City?" Asahi Dongsheng's question came from behind her: "Why have I never heard of it?"
"You've probably never heard of it." Xue Ling Huan Bing replied expressionlessly, "Because this is a newly opened tavern."
"Where's the boss? Who is the boss?"
"..."
Without answering this question, the white-haired swordswoman passed through the door of the crowded parliament hall, and then there was a knock on the back of Asahi Dongsheng's head, and a helpless reminder from Gedman behind him: "Can't you recognize the name?"
"—Then why not just call her Qing Ling?"
"Don't ask too many questions."
Staring at the other party, Gedmane, who had passed over his teammates, hurried a few steps and followed Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Are we going to gather? Linyuan Duanshui is there too?"
"He's meeting a lot of guests there." Xue Ling Huan Bing nodded: "By the time we get there, the conversation over there should be almost finished. We can just discuss the next steps together."
"The Magic Empire's front is expanding, and the western front is wavering. This is the news I just brought back." Gedman's voice became serious as he followed: "Once the encirclement is broken, the war situation is very likely A big change occurs, and in the worst case scenario——"
"No, you don't need to worry about any of this." Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in a calm voice: "Those are things that the big guys need to worry about. As an ordinary adventure group, we only need to worry about what we can do. Things will be fine."
"...So we still have to continue the battle on the Fenghua Plain?" Asahi Dongsheng, who was coming from the other side, asked in confusion: "The frontal battlefield doesn't mean much now, does it? Even if we unite the principality and the empire, and then give Our enemies are under 120% pressure, but they can still escape through the breach in the west."
"No, they won't escape." Xueling Huanbing, who was walking in front, replied firmly: "Have you ever thought about a question?"
"Why did the Magic Empire choose Fenghua Town as the place where they started?"
For a moment, the trio walking on the street fell into a state of choking because of this question. When Asahi Dongsheng and Gedman, who were frowning in thought, wanted to raise their heads to answer, they were already there. Xue Ling Huan Bing led them to the door of a pub on the corner of Yaer Street. In the deserted scene, only the rustling sounds of conversation came from the half-opened door of the tavern. The two people who wanted to climb the steps were stopped by Xue Ling Huan Bing's hand, and the originally cold face was also filled with tears. Filled with more black lines: "...It's him."
"Who?" They also stopped at the door of the tavern, and the other two people also subconsciously slowed down. They did not stop.
Xue Ling Huan Bing got the answer from her mouth, but did not identify the guest's identity from the rustling words: "I haven't heard this voice before. Is it an acquaintance of ours?"
"There is only one answer: This guest is not a regular customer of our Qingling Adventure Group, but he is someone familiar to our leader."
Taking advantage of the cover of the door, Goldman standing aside sighed and said: "Looking at the appearance of our leader, I guess——"
"It should be someone she is familiar with in real life."
