"How did you get out?"
"I was sent out through a...well, I don't know myself..."
The Traveler's House is also a lively place, at least for now. The still simple hall is full of customers coming and going. Some of them finish their meals impatiently, and then quickly walk out of the door carrying their luggage.
, seemed to be in a hurry, and some were shouting and drinking with their friends at the same table, enjoying the party time, which seemed to never stop. There were also some drunk people who got into arguments, and both parties
They yelled and cursed for a while, then rushed out of the door and ran to a duel somewhere in the school grounds - looking at the arrogant look on the hotel owner's face, it seemed that they didn't dare to make trouble here.
In such an environment, the three of them, Duan Qing, found a corner near the inside and sat down. The shirtless player, who still looked like a shameless man, sat on the outside seat with his pointed helmet hanging down.
, he habitually scratched his head with his hands, which resulted in the harsh friction sound of nails scraping against metal. Then, he was slapped by the girl next to him and his head tilted.
"Don't attack with noise! Also, don't block other people's waiters from delivering food..."
"Ah! Oh! Got it..."
Xiao Hongchen moved his seat forward with difficulty, then lay down on the table in a panic, and continued in a depressed voice.
"That's a road I don't recognize. It seems to be a secret passage. Two people from the Shadow Society came out with me..."
"What, the shadow will?"
"Yes." Xiao Hongchen nodded feebly: "I was looking for materials that afternoon, and then I was stopped by the Salted Fish King. He himself received some news, and the situation of our adventure group will become very dangerous in the future.
So he wanted to send us out of the city..."
"And you ran away?"
"How is that possible! Am I the kind of person who abandons his brothers?" Xiao Hongchen yelled, and then he lay down on the table listlessly: "I...I was deceived."
"The Salted Fish King is following me, and Wiesel has already organized the manpower and planned to transport all the people in our adventure group out without anyone noticing. I just happened to come out and was bumped into by them, so they sent me out first.
.But when we arrived outside the city, I asked the two people when they could meet up with their teammates, but they started to act stupid and said that there was no such thing at all."
As if he had been hit hard, Xiao Hongchen's voice became very serious: "They are only responsible for completing the orders given by the superiors, and are responsible for escorting me to Dutania in the principality. They will tell me the specific things when they get there...
....”
"Well...why are they sending it to Tania?"
"How do I know..." Xiao Hongchen faced down: "I don't want to know either. I just know that I can't just leave, so I found an opportunity to escape."
A waiter came from behind and brought Mengzhu's good food to them. Duan Qing took his share of the food and was about to continue his question when he saw the dying man in front of him suddenly suddenly changed from his own.
jumped up in his seat.
"Finally..." His eyes were full of tears: "Finally, I have something to eat!"
"You...have you never eaten?" Looking at the man who was devouring his food, Mengzhu had a black line on his head: "Have you been hungry all day?"
"Yes...yeah." Xiao Hongchen's words were a little slurred because of his mouthful of food: "Even if I go offline...after eating...I will still...
Hungry......"
"Of course, it's a virtual reality game." Duan Qing closed his open mouth: "Otherwise, how could it be real... I, don't you have a penny on you?"
"No...I ended up living in this place after I ran away alone. I spent my last effort to get here..."
"Okay, I can feel this feeling of despair." Duan Qing took a bite of bread, and then continued to ask: "Where is your good friend Salted Fish King? Why didn't he follow you?"
"He...he won't leave." Xiao Hongchen stopped for a moment while devouring his food, and then continued to pick up the food: "I don't know why he stayed there to serve Wiesel. Since I
He has been like this since I met him..."
"Oh? How do you know him?"
"I saved his life once when I was out wandering around." The shirtless man seemed to avoid this matter, so he just mentioned it and stopped: "Because of that incident, he kept treating me...
.Well, he is a pretty good person anyway, don’t blame him..."
"We don't mean to blame him, after all, he has helped us." Duan Qing said with a meaningless expression: "Although when we first met, well..."
He looked at the girl who was also eating, and the latter glared angrily.
"Since you can still find us, it means that we are still destined, then... do you still want to follow us?"
"Of course! We are brothers, how could we forget you... Hey, where is the smiling butcher?"
"Well, he went to another guild..."
In the noisy hotel lobby, the three people introduced each other to each other about the situation they knew, lamenting from time to time about certain things that had happened, and sighing about their fate. Until lunch was exhausted, the three people began to enjoy the afternoon.
During the rest time, Xiao Hongchen asked the most critical question.
"Why should we run?"
"Don't you know yet... Oh yes, you really don't know." Duan Qing and the girl looked at each other, and finally Duan Qing explained: "The Speaker of the Principality knew about our affairs, so
I was ruthless and wanted to take everyone back to make an explanation."
"Ah?" Xiao Hongchen was shocked: "Then how can we hang out in the future?"
"Well, Richard told us before he left that he would take care of this matter." Duan Qing said helplessly: "Although I don't know how he did it, but since he said so, let's just believe it.
Already. According to normal time, the envoy sent by the principality will arrive soon..."
"Maybe you will pass by here?" the girl suddenly said.
"It's possible." Duan Qing looked at the other party, then lowered his head and thought: "And the most serious incident also happened here. Those people may investigate here before leaving...
..”
"How about we go take a look?" Mengzhu suddenly shouted: "If we can find out the truth behind this matter, maybe we can clear ourselves from suspicion?"
“What a beautiful thought!”
Xiao Hongchen on the side was just about to applaud and praise, when Duan Qing poured cold water on him: "With the ability of that old man Rama, how could he possibly leave any clue for us if he did something like frame-up? Look at what happened before.
Yasiqi, and the things we encounter later..."
Several people fell silent at the same time. After a while, Duan Qing continued: "In short, we players can just do our own thing. The PC can solve it by himself. Anyway, Jin has already taken away the key ragdoll.
...Sigh, I don’t understand why he hasn’t come out, that man still seems to be a very upright person..."
Wu Yan appeared again for a while, and finally the girl broke the silence: "No matter what, we still decide what to do next. Xiao Hongchen, since you have returned to our Fool Adventure Group, I will give you a chance, next time
Where do you plan to venture next?”
"How do I know? I only know Greenstone Village and Fenghua Town..."
"It would be a mistake to count on you." The girl patted her forehead, and then began to think hard again: "Well, after passing the pass to the west, we will enter the hinterland of the principality and walk all the way to Tania. Maybe we will really plunge into it.
Going into the war...it's so dangerous, I still want to go to the Andacier Mountains to see..."
"What's so good about mountains..." Xiao Hongchen muttered.
"Falling Star Mountain! It's the highest mountain in the free world. Do you want to challenge it?"
"Wow!" The shirtless man immediately jumped up: "Men's challenge! Let's go!"
"Calm down, calm down!" Duan Qing waved his hands: "Even if you risk your life, you have to make a plan before sending it off... How far is it from the highest mountain?"
"I don't know." The girl raised her hand.
"I hope you are really hopeless." Then Duan Qing also rubbed his forehead: "If Norman told me correctly, we are about a day's journey from Tania, the capital of the Principality, well...
Of course it’s by car, not on foot. It might be faster if we have horses. As for the mountain peaks in the north... hello, this adventurer."
He stood up and walked towards a group of players with IDs at the next table: "Do you know how far it is to the Falling Star Mountain in the north?"
"Two days." The player looked at Duan Qing and then at the people at Duan Qing's table: "If you go faster, it will be a day and a half."
"Isn't there any transportation available?"
"Of course not." The player looked at Duan Qing and regarded him as a newbie: "Falling Star Mountain is not a place of interest, nor is there any city. We are the only ones who play... We adventurers are willing to
To go to that place, so... naturally there are no buses going there."
"Oh, thank you."
Duan Qing secretly gave Mengzhu a thumbs up, thanked him, and then returned to his table: "Did you hear that? It's unwise to go like this..."
"Then...do we really want to go to Tania?"
"My suggestion is to go there. After all, it is the capital of a country. It has the most people and resources, and it is also the most comfortable. It can provide us with watching games...ahem, space for exhibition."
Duan Qing cleared his throat: "Don't our adventure group have some kind of privilege? If you don't show it, I'll be sorry for the piece of paper in your hand!"
"Well... okay then." The girl thought for a while, and then nodded reluctantly: "I reluctantly agreed. Anyway, I'll come back if I have a chance... Xiao Hongchen
Woolen cloth?"
"As long as you take care of my food, I'll agree to wherever you go."
"You...ahhh, let's go!"
Mengzhu scratched his head in a frenzy, then stood up and walked out of the hotel first. Duan Qing and Xiao Hongchen behind him looked at each other helplessly, so they had no choice but to follow.
"Do you want to take a look around here? I see there are quite a few stalls..."
"No! Well...otherwise it's better to go shopping, maybe you can find something good..."
"Ahem, Xiao Hongchen, why don't you consider getting a top to wear? You can't resist any attack at all."
"This is my style! The light weight can make me more flexible, so that I can perform beautiful and gorgeous attacks... Oh, by the way! You promised to teach me! Come on, teach me,
How did you do it at the entrance of the Adventurers Association..."
"...Did I promise you?"
"Absolutely! Yes! You promised me! Sister Mengzhu, come and prove it to me!"
"Ni Zuokai! Who is your sister?"
Under the hot afternoon sun, the three figures slowly walked into the depths of the large market full of tents, and then gradually disappeared among the ever-changing crowds.
*****************
A hundred miles away, in the Eta County territory, in a forest not far from Tania City, a woman in a black cloak was leading a horse and was resting by a river. The midday sun was slightly forward.
After moving a little and casting the shadow of the leaves onto her head again, the woman raised her head that had been lowered and looked in a certain direction in the forest.
"Come out, I won't take action." She stood up.
"You...have sent back two groups of people, so I have to worry."
Behind that direction, a player wearing a robe walked out from behind the tree and walked out with a wry smile.
"It's you." It seemed that she was someone she knew well. The woman covered in a black cloak put away her sharp eyes and nodded slightly: "They actually sent you here."
"As a former member of the first team, of course I am here." The man walked over with his hands raised, indicating that he had no ill intentions: "Of course, I am also here to advise you."
"Let's go back."
The breeze blew through the gaps in the woods, blowing the woman's cloak slightly, and then fell with the treetops. She stood quietly for a while, then turned around and walked away.
"Hey, you can't go on like this forever." Upon seeing this, the mage player behind immediately shouted: "Don't you even want to participate in the game?"
"Everything I did was for the guild." The woman took the reins of her mount and began to slowly leave the place: "Since the guild doesn't need me now, then why should I... do it for the guild?
And what about struggle?”
"But Wings of Freedom has paid so much for you!" the man said sternly: "Even if you don't ask for anything in return, you still have to think about your family and your father..."
"The Wings of Freedom want to ask for something in return, and I have no complaints, but they didn't give me a chance." The woman stopped her movements and interrupted the other person: "And...everything in this world
Everyone can talk about my father."
"Only you can't."
She led the horse and gradually disappeared into the woods.
