The neighing sound of horses came faintly from the distance, adding a different kind of liveliness to the temporary camp built by Duan Qing and others, and a certain gray-robed magician who sat back in the camp finally followed this time.
He smiled when he returned, and at the same time gave a thumbs up to the two female players staying here: "Okay, okay, it's done now."
"Who are those people?" Looking at the group of three men and one woman not far from their camp, Xueling Huanbing, who had been sitting on the ledge at the back, was the first to look curious: "You seem to know them.
?”
"It's just a few people I met in Novice Village. You should have heard me say it before." Looking back and looking in the same direction, Duan Qing still grinned: "I can't help but meet again in this place.
Don’t you admire your fate?”
"...I seem to have remembered it." As if thinking of some beautiful past events, Xue Ling Huan Bing also showed a strange smile on her face: "When we were in Carlo Village, they were indeed"
"See you again!"
An extremely loud announcement then appeared behind Duan Qing, accompanied by a figure of a player dressed as a swordsman walking towards the camp with a big smile: "That's right! The person standing in front of you is the former one.
The new king, the current rising star of the empire, the future king of the alliance, the soul hunter, too! Wow, hahahaha, hey, don’t pull me!”
"...Don't listen to his nonsense, that's what he is like." He grabbed the opponent's shoulders and pulled him down the slope. The exiled Zhan Song followed him and revealed his helpless face in front of everyone.
: "Hello everyone, we are an ordinary newcomer team, we are just passing by to do tasks at the moment."
"Song of Exile, right? I still remember you, too." The white-haired woman jumped down from the ledge above and gradually walked in, then clapped her hands: "Where are those two guys?"
"Well... Miss Murong is quite afraid of strangers. She was frightened just now, so she stayed at the carriage." Pointing in the direction of the carriage behind him, Exile Zhange tapped the small button on his left arm.
Yuan Dun: "Actually, if Linyuan Duanshui hadn't recognized us, we would have almost mistaken you for robbers... Huh?"
"This lady looks familiar." He looked at Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was gradually coming forward, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "Have we met before?"
"I've probably seen him before." He replied calmly. Xue Ling Huan Bing then calmly pointed at Duan Qing: "After all, he and I were born in the same novice village, and I have been acting with him before."
"Yes, really? I didn't notice this." After scratching his head, the exiled Zhan Song then looked in the direction of Duan Qing: "After the previous adventure in the Gemenan Jungle, we had almost no
We met again, and later I heard that you left the village, and I didn’t even have time to say those words of thanks..."
"There is no need to say thank you! We just need to become stronger!" The soul hunter on the side laughed and patted his chest: "Wait until we become famous, and then shout, 'We are following Linyuan Duanshui.
You fool, he won’t need to thank us when the time comes, he will come and thank us! Wow hahahahaha!”
"That's it, I understand."
Looking at the two novice players who started to argue again because of each other's arrogance, Gedman, who was standing next to him with his arms folded, finally smiled and approached Duan Qing, who looked helpless: "They are all good.
Where are the people, no wonder you still remember them."
"What are you talking about? Am I the kind of guy who likes to forget people casually...eh."
Raising his hand to block the accusing gaze that a certain blue-haired female swordsman sent him, Duan Qing then turned his face away with a dry smile: "Okay, okay, in short, I'm pretty lucky this time... You two, yours
Is there any room in the carriage?"
"...Why, are you trapped here?" The quarrel finally stopped for a moment, and the exiled Zhan Song stretched his head towards the surroundings of the camp: "Or are you going to travel far away, but you don't have a suitable means of transportation?
"
"Something happened, so our current situation is very special." After Wei Wei hesitated for a moment, Duan Qing finally chose to cover up the topic for the time being: "Anyway, we need some ways to take the bus now, and help us move someone by the way.
Imperial Capital.”
"Go to the Imperial Capital." He sighed slightly, and then the Exiled Song showed a look of embarrassment: "We have just received a task assigned to us by the guild, and we hope that we can help transport a batch of supplies to the Thebilis Castle. If
If we go to the imperial capital, we will have to take a long detour."
"Oh?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your guild mission? Which guild?"
"The Beast Tribe." Slightly straightening the red adventure group emblem on his chest, the Exile Warsong replied with a strange look on his face: "Their base camp is in that city, so uh, what's wrong?"
Like an uninvited guest who broke into the banquet, the atmosphere that had just heated up among the few people suddenly cooled down with the appearance of these words. After noticing this change, the exiled Zhan Song also changed his original words.
He slowly took back his words midway and turned to look at Duan Qing's increasingly troubled face: "I know this sounds a little strange, but of course there is a reason for taking us through the trial mission in the first place.
Aren’t you also not in the Flame Dragon Beast Guild now?”
"That's right, only fools are willing to join that kind of guild!" Before Duan Qing could answer, the soul hunter on the side shouted and squeezed his fists: "Those two bastards who kicked us out of the guild, I
Sooner or later they will regret it!"
"Those two bastards...which two bastards are they?" Duan Qing asked with a strange look on his face: "It can't be Du Zui Du Xing and a guy named Changing Shadow, right?"
"Who is the Changing Shadow? I don't know you." The soul hunter tilted his head slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, and then waved his hand irritably: "We are talking about leading the team at the beginning.
Those two guys in the guild trial are not very capable and they always like to boss people around! Hmm... what are their names?"
"One is called Lazy Cat, and the other is called Crystal Bun." He curled his lips helplessly, then Zhange of Exile answered the question on behalf of the other party: "They seemed to be very satisfied with the fact that Miss Murong and Alastor were able to pass the trial...
…I don’t understand, and I think something must have gone wrong.”
"That's right! They actually look down on Brother Duanshui!" The soul hunter immediately became indignant again: "Don't they know how hard we worked to defeat that boss? Why should they look down on those two people who can't beat him?
us?"
"The effort you put into killing that crocodile is actually nothing. There will definitely be more difficulties waiting for you to overcome in the future." Duan Qing sighed slightly in his heart, and then walked up to Duan Qing, shaking his head and looking.
Looking at the two former teammates in front of him: "But... I understand your situation somewhat."
"Then how did you join the beast tribe?" Asahi Dongsheng on the side also crossed his arms and asked: "Have you never inquired about the reputation of these guilds before? Or maybe they have done a little research.
What happened?"
"At that time, we urgently needed a guild to settle down, otherwise we would starve to death on the streets." Turning his head to look at the giant axe warrior, the Exile War Song replied helplessly: "And the Beast Tribe is not too bad for us.
Yes, both the treatment and guild benefits are much better than before. As for how to join?"
"We just told each other that we were enemies of the Flame Dragon Beast, and they nodded immediately!" The soul hunter next to him shouted and answered the question: "It couldn't be more straightforward!"
"...The degree of opposition between the two major local guilds seems to be even more exciting than the gang stories you have told."
Looking helplessly at Chaori Dongsheng's face, Duan Qing then focused his attention on the two people in front of him again: "But... the Beast and Bird Tribe? I remember, didn't the guy from the Fishman call himself the Beast and Bird Alliance?"
"Whether it is the Beast Alliance or the Beast Tribe, they are both guilds of fishermen." The Exiled War Song answered Duan Qing's question: "Except for the different names and main scope of activities, there are almost no differences.
That’s it.”
"Is this okay? Won't the Adventurers Association care?"
"There are only a few adventure groups in the empire, so the association will probably acquiesce to this split management method."
Slowly walking forward, he whispered and answered Duan Qing's question with a low smile: "Just like the branches of guilds, many guilds use this method to bring the newcomers they like into their pockets in advance.
Medium...um."
As if remembering something, she suddenly became silent when she said this. Duan Qing, who seemed to have realized something, then used his own smile to cover up the other person's stiff expression, and at the same time turned to look at the two people again.
The direction of the new players: "So you are actually working in a talent reserve guild now... Well, come on, I hope you will really succeed in the future."
"The Beast Alliance is just the Beast Alliance. No matter how successful you are, you can't join the ranks of Arashiyama or Jianghu." The Exile Warsong shrugged with a meaningless look: "This trip, I just hope to make money.
Besides making some extra money, I just want to find a chance to see the outside world."
"The Castle of Thebilis, right?" Goldman on the side held his chin and nodded his head: "Under the current severe situation, going to that place is indeed an option."
"Why, do you think we should just go over there?" Asahi Dongsheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Please, my wanted order was issued by the imperial military, and Thebilis Castle is one of the imperial fortresses.
, the military there is very developed!"
"Then you should find a place where the empire's military power is not developed." The heavily armored warrior pointed to the opponent's forehead: "The Santerius province where Tanzania City is located is already an alien among aliens. How can you still
Do you want to escape to the wilderness in the northeastern part of the empire?"
"Well..."
"By the way, what kind of trouble have you encountered?" Looking at the two players who were gradually entangled together, the exiled war song cautiously asked Duan Qing: "Are you wanted?"
"Yes, the members of our current team are almost all people who want to be punished."
Looking at the other party slightly, Duan Qing smiled and nodded his head: "In order to avoid the empire's eyes and ears and to clear ourselves of certain charges, we originally planned to go to the imperial capital Redcar, of course..."
"Since the threat of local gangs is now added, it seems that we have to borrow the enemy's name."
*********************************
Some time later, in the east of the town of Entel, a carriage slowly appeared on the horizon from the edge of Cotan Avenue. The wheel tracks made by the heavy body also brought the sounds of the soul hunter and the war song of exile.
The figures drove into this small town together, accompanied by a whispered exchange between the two people: "So why are we under the car and they are inside the car?"
"No need to ask, do they dare to ask them to come out now? Besides, the carriage is full of goods. If you want to squeeze in, you can squeeze in yourself."
"Then we can't keep walking like this. There's still a long way to the castle."
"I'll go to the town later and see if I can deal with some goods first. Anyway, as long as I can get money, the guild won't say anything..."
As the Exile War Song said, the number of people sitting in the carriage increased sharply from the original two to eight. However, the embarrassing scene of people and goods crowded together did not bring any harm to Murong Qingchun who was originally sitting in it.
Although it was inconvenient, he became a lot happier because of Duan Qing's arrival: "Wow! What is that? Is it a statue?"
"Yes, that is the symbol of the town of Entair. I heard that a very powerful magician once appeared here. Later generations built this statue in memory of him."
"A very powerful magician?" The little girl excitedly hugged Duan Qing's arm and, as usual, liked to cling to each other. Her eyes widened and she asked, "What's his name?"
"I remember it was called Clariant." Duan Qing secretly wiped his cold sweat, smiled and retracted his gaze from the direction of the carriage window: "It is said that he created the magic circle system by himself.
And someone who has the ability to spread magic to the world... huh?"
As if feeling some sudden abnormality, Duan Qing's eyes fell on Violet sitting in the corner of the carriage, and then an angry voice interrupted his thoughts, accompanying it
There is also an expressionless face belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Okay, how long are you going to hold him?"
"Ah ha ha ha, my young lady is a little not sensible." Then he pulled the little girl's body, and Alastor, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly smiled and pulled back Murong Qingchun who was almost shouting: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
"
"Okay, don't be jealous." He turned his head with a low smile, and then a chattering voice sounded from opposite the two of them: "The station intersection is ahead, and someone will be here to check soon."
"Yes, it's them." Asahi Dongsheng withdrew his observation gaze and then turned his head, reminding others in a vigilant tone: "The gang that classified this town as their own territory."
"Nanshan Sect."
