"Let's see, am I right?"
Standing in the corner outside the door, watching the middle-aged man named Yueyin Yueming leave with his men in black clothes and black armor, Gedman put down his shield and said with a smile: "Is she an acquaintance? "
"Acquaintances? I think they are more like enemies." Asahi Dongsheng, who seemed to be aware of the fact that there would be no more conflicts for the time being, also put down his weapons, replied angrily: "The atmosphere just now was almost like a fight. !」
"The fight hasn't started yet." Goldman waved at the backs of the uninvited guests who disappeared into the street: "Don't look at the man-eating attitude of our leader just now. From my understanding of him and my many years of experience in upper-level exchanges, there is absolutely no way for them to start a fight."
"Hmph, I can see it too. There is definitely something fishy here." Asahi Dongsheng on the side also put away his gaze, immediately changed his job and became a paparazzi and started his own gossip toward the door: "You said that person Who is he? What is his relationship with our group leader? I just heard him call our group leader—"
"I didn't hear anything." He knocked back the other party's curiosity with an expressionless expression. Gedman, who was standing at the door, then turned his gaze to the side: "I also kindly advise you, don't ask about things you shouldn't. Something to inquire about.”
"Oh, I can guess without asking. The guy just now must be the elder of our family leader or something." Asahi Dongsheng replied with contempt on his face: "But he is definitely not her father, maybe he is some distant relative. My relatives once staged dramas such as seizing power and occupying magpie's nests in the family..."
"Aren't you very experienced? Then why are you asking me?" He glared hard at the other person's face, raised his chin, and then frowned with a thoughtful expression: "Well, Chu Family, Chu family... I seem to have heard her mention these things before, and they seem to be related to the direct reason why she ran away from home."
"I can see this, so don't think of me as a fool." Asahi Dongsheng curled his lips and replied, "But if that's the case, this time he deliberately brought people to our territory to show off his power, and he also They deliberately dropped this saying of 'Courtesy before fighting - what on earth do they want to do?"
"Are you here to lower morale?"
The same words and questions also appeared inside the tavern at this time. In the middle of the inner hall, which was already a little messy due to Xue Ling Huan Bing's attack earlier, Duan Qing got up from the messy tables and chairs at some point. Tokiya scratched his head and walked slowly behind the motionless swordsman's back: "...Don't be angry, he came here on purpose to make you angry."
"I'm not that stupid." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who seemed to have recovered from his anger, turned around and the frost on his face gradually melted: "If he really wants to make me angry, he won't I will deliberately bypass me and talk to you alone about these things."
"God knows, maybe they don't care who is here at all." Duan Qing slowly packed up the tables and chairs closest to him and replied calmly: "With the demands he just wanted to make and the To achieve the goal, he couldn’t negotiate any terms with anyone, he just wanted to come over and declare a challenge.”
"Is this really the case?" Xue Ling Huan Bing raised her head and looked at Duan Qing's face with her gaze: "Didn't he want to target you?"
"...If you want to say it's deliberately targeted, that's not unreasonable."
Gently patting the seat in front of the bar to signal the other party to sit down, Duan Qing sighed and came to the edge of his previous seat: "After all, we have done so much hard work, it's time for them to show some expression."
"...What else has he threatened you with before?"
"Threat? Hahahaha."
Facing the question in a very low voice from the white-haired female swordsman who approached, Duan Qing waved his hand casually with a haha: "Didn't I tell you already? A threat of this level can't hurt me. We have gone through many hardships. He is a human being, even if there is a flaw in his soul, it is impossible to leave him half a cent."
"If he really has a way to find my head, I will give him a corresponding reward." Xue Ling Huan Bing stared at Duan Qing and replied
Said: "I can't control where the whispers are coming from, but what other people say-"
Reaching out to stop Xue Ling Huan Bing's next words, Duan Qing shook his head at the other party. He winked at the door, and then put his fingers away from the other party's lips: "Okay, let's talk. Let’s get back to business—when do you two want to eavesdrop?”
"How can this be called eavesdropping?" So Asahi Dongsheng and Goldman, who pushed in the door, both looked a little embarrassed: "We just followed the leader's footsteps and ran here to gather. What's wrong?" Are there elements of eavesdropping?"
"Then let's just listen to you openly." He gestured to the two of them to find a place to sit down, and Duan Qing's eyes casually turned around: "How's it going?"
"The taste is pretty good, but the popularity is a bit low." He casually kicked aside the pieces of the wine glass on the ground, and Gedman smiled at the other party: "When did you get it?"
"About two days ago." Duan Qing pointed towards the silent Xue Ling Huan Bing: "The leader of our family said that Tania must have some of our own property, which can be regarded as giving us in Tania He wanted to find a base to rest his head during his activities... Ha, it was the same idea as Mengzhu at that time."
"This illustrates a truth: every team leader has the same responsibilities." Xue Ling Huan Bing glanced sideways at the gray-robed magician: "And the most important thing our Qing Ling Adventure Group lacks now is gold coins. It's just a tavern. , you can buy it casually.”
"Listen, listen, this is the rich foundation of our adventure group now." So Duan Qing clapped his hands and gestured to the other two people: "With so much money, you can actively apply for funds from our group leader. , at least upgrade your weapons and equipment."
"If you tell me this, I won't be sleepy anymore." Asahi Dongsheng, who was just looking for a place to sit down, immediately jumped up when he heard the sound: "Come on, come on, look at what I'm wearing! I haven't changed this for a long time. Passed? The reason why I didn’t have a chance to show off and show off in this trial is because my weapons and equipment weren’t powerful enough… ahem, they weren’t eye-catching enough!”
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
He slapped Asahi Dongsheng back, who was still about to dance. Gedman, who was sitting on the other side, also turned his gaze to the direction of Duan Qing: "Let's talk about business - call us over this time. Gathering for what?"
"It's nothing, I just want everyone to come and take a look at our new territory." The gray-robed magician gestured to both sides of the bar: "If no one came to interrupt, we might have put down the wine glasses by now. Getting ready to start today’s celebration party... Oops."
"It's not a good time to drink. Let's finish talking about the business first." She put away her fingers that were tapping Duan Qing's forehead. Xue Ling Huanbing sat on the seat next to him with a straight face: "Don't listen to his nonsense. We came here to gather for the purpose of having a meeting, after all—"
"We still have a press conference to hold later."
************************************
The press conference mentioned by Xue Ling Huan Bing was actually not part of the original plan. This is just because the player group who is in the "opposition" position in the virtual reality world generally does not hold any public meetings similar to news releases. rights and necessities. With the help of the reputation and influence of "Sky-Breaking Blade", this press conference-like event started smoothly in the audience hall opposite the Tania Parliament Hall. However, whether it was for this legendary figure to come here Whether the players here or the players who came here for breaking news, they did not get any news they wanted from this public press conference.
After all, since the "Chicken Beak Cup" was held, this event that has swept almost the entire virtual gaming industry has not had any related press conference to announce the holding, so the theme of this unique conference at the beginning was "The Sky-Breaking Blade Public Meeting" is an attractive content.
"Thank you everyone for your concern and love for our event."
Sitting in the middle of the makeshift rostrum for the press conference, Duan Qing, who was present, faced countless looks and
The smile on his face also seemed a little stiff: "I am also very grateful to the organizers of the event, the participating players, and the many spectators who care about this event for their strong support of our competition. Without everyone's concerted efforts, this competition would not be successful. It’s progressed to this point.”
"This press conference is held this time to inform everyone about the progress of the competition that everyone has been paying attention to." Speaking of this, a trace of magic flashed at the fingertips of the gray-robed magician, and the colorful brilliance also connected him with Countless people stared at each other for a moment: "According to the established arrangement, there should not be many games to be played next. There should be... uh, three or five games left?"
"But Mr. Sky-Breaking Blade, haven't there been challengers who have won before?" A player crowded at the entrance of the audience hall took the lead in asking a more pointed question: "What should we do with these contestants who have already won?" ?」
"Originally, if a winner appears, he will become our recognized champion, and the treatment will be similar to that of a new king ascending the throne." Duan Qing shook his head half-jokingly: "But there were countless challengers who opposed it, and they still insisted. He wanted to fight me, and then there was the statement made by the handsome Mr. Jack, who insisted on not admitting that he had won... Alas, because of this lesson learned from the past, everyone now thinks that I am letting the enemy go."
"Did you really not release the water?"
"Of course, I guarantee it on my own behalf."
"Can you reveal some details of yesterday's battle? For example, the mysterious figure that you and the leader of the Jiangshan Adventure Group encountered in the end?"
"We are also currently investigating the identity of the mysterious figure, so to be honest... I don't know who he is. If anyone knows him, please feel free to provide us with some clues."
"How is His Royal Highness Prince Chris doing now? Is he still alive? And the previous trial - can it be considered a drama that you deliberately arranged in advance?"
"These are all strange questions. I didn't participate in the trial. If there are any tricks or secrets in it, you should ask Pamir... Ahem, I don't know anything anyway. The only thing I can confirm The news is: His Royal Highness Prince Chris is still alive, and he should have received the redemption he deserves."
"Can the real culprit of the Valletta Hospital case be confirmed to be the Magic Empire?"
"Well, if you ask questions like this again, I'm going to invite Yu Shang to come over and be my shield. She definitely knows more about this than me, so——"
"Regarding the competition, can you tell us more details? For example...the specific competition time? And the competition location?"
"The competition time should be in two days. After all, the remaining contestants are impatient to wait! As for the location of the competition... the initial preparation is to decide on that."
The tense conversation of questions and answers paused at this moment, just because Duan Qing, who was sitting in the middle of the seat, stretched out his hand and pointed towards the south outside the door. Everyone who followed this direction to the south also turned their eyes to the winter. The always gloomy sky, and the direction of the southern territory of the principality where fire occasionally flashed on the horizon: "...is it the battlefield where the Magic Empire is fighting?"
"In fact, we have already fought once during the opening, including the previous battle at Dragon Tomb, which can be considered as on their territory." Duan Qing put away his gestures, and the smile on his face still maintained: " We still insist that this kind of competition mode is very suitable for the needs of top professional players like us - or former professional players. The environment is complex and changeable, there are countless opportunities, and... it can also play a little role in the current situation. effect."
"Of course, our goal has always been to run the competition well. This sentence should not be said by me, the main competitor, but I still fully considered the challenger's ability when choosing the competition venue and competition content. It depends on your preference." Duan Qing pointed to his left and right when he said this: "We have also maintained a good cooperative relationship with the Violet Science and Technology Department to ensure that every detail of every game can be perfected. Presentation, as for the final effect... we can only do our best to ensure peace of mind and see if there is anything in the end——"
His words reached this point because there was a
The player bypassed the rostrum at some point and lay down next to him and said a few words. The gray-robed magician looked stunned for a moment, then quietly nodded to the player who came to deliver the message: " All right."
"Sorry, there seems to be some urgent news that needs to be dealt with. I'll leave for a moment."
Many players and spectators present reacted. The gray-robed magician disappeared instantly with the brilliance of magic. The other two accompanying members of the Qingling Adventure Group who were also sitting on both sides of the rostrum also appeared at this time. You look at me, I look at you, they seem to be still racking their brains to deal with this embarrassing situation with their own on-the-spot reactions: "Uh, everyone, wait a moment -"
"Wait? Wait for what?"
Grabbing the microphone in the middle, the warrior named Asahi Dongsheng cast his last contemptuous look at his companions, then stepped on the table and shouted loudly to the players present who were just about to become dissatisfied: "The question and answer continues! No need to wait for him! What else do you want to ask? I will answer you!"
"I guarantee it on my own behalf! This is an excellent opportunity! One of a kind, one of a kind!"
