"Wow, I'm finally saved! I thought I was going to be left miserable in this wilderness, not even qualified to become a drowned rat..."
"This is the Taron Plains, not a wilderness full of large beasts. And no matter how difficult it is, we can still walk to Tania."
"Ah hahahaha, I'm just a businessman. My combat power and physical strength are very weak, not to mention the negative physical effects of this heavy rain. It is simply the most powerful blow to a businessman like me... Huh? There is another one
Miss? Or maid?"
"...So you'd better move faster, otherwise, I will blast you out as Zhu Bajie."
The public carriage leading to Tania then started to shake a little, and there was also a scene where a player who took off his long-distance running and squeezed the water in front of Duan Qing was almost ejected. He was holding on to the door panel of the carriage and then staggered.
After struggling for a while, he finally managed to get his head back from the heavy rain: "Sorry! I will wrap up my clothes right away! Please stop! Stop! Don't push me again!"
"It looks like he still has some strength." Then Duan Qing retracted his arms with an expressionless face: "The way he climbed on the carriage just now also felt a bit like a guerrilla."
"After all, I have to carry a lot of cargo every day, hahahahaha."
Pointing to a huge package that he had just thrown into the carriage, the player who finally struggled back from the edge of the carriage let out a few helpless laughs: "The weight that players can carry is limited, and people like me with low strength are even more difficult to carry."
Needless to say, in order to do business, I can only run back and forth with this big package every day..."
"Even so, the total amount carried by players will not change."
After waving his hand to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing's eyes on the other party were still filled with deep suspicion: "Since your physical fitness is relatively poor, you should not be able to carry such a huge package."
"That's because there's magic attached to this package."
With a proud smile on his face, the merchant player pulled a piece of canvas over himself and pointed to the location of the package: "Levitation, reinforcement, and gravity levitation in high-level earth magic... In order to buy
I spent a lot of money on this package."
"Well, that's it." Duan Qing lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded hesitantly: "Is it magic that is enchanted on the package to facilitate transportation? It is indeed a very effective method..."
"Never underestimate our creativity!" The player gave a thumbs up to Duan Qing and Enyu Ninglan: "Of course, I can't compare with those big businessmen. Their packages are usually filled with space.
The bag is like the eight-treasure bag that often appeared in movies and TV shows in the past..."
It turns out there is such a thing.
Duan Qing lamented his own backwardness, and then withdrew his gaze: "Thank you for your answer. It seems that I am ignorant. But... we have the next question."
"How did you appear here, brother Fengchui Mailang?"
He looked at the name above the head of the player who claimed to be a businessman, and then asked in a calm voice, still wiping the wind-blown wheat waves above his head with the wrapped canvas, and then stopped his movements slightly, with a surprised expression.
It also emerged from the gap in the cloth: "Ah? Why did you appear here? Of course you walked here."
"I am a businessman traveling between the principality's capital and Ferron County." He seemed to understand the meaning of the other party's question, and then he pressed his wet hair and made a simple salute: "To put it simply, it is
Become a businessman and do business based on the material gap between the two parties."
"Fars Fortress has fallen, and there has been no war in Felong County for a long time." Duan Qing touched his nose: "Is there still business to be done?"
"Of course, haven't you seen the current situation?" Feng Chui Mai Lang pointed in the direction of Talan Village with a proud look on his face: "The principality is negotiating with the empire, and the relationship between the two parties is already very tense. If this is a
If we’re not careful, we’ll make a fortune!”
"So that's it. It's hard to make a fortune while the country is growing." Duan Qing sneered: "No wonder I was left in the middle of the road."
"Say, what are you talking about!" Feng Chui Mai Lang immediately straightened his neck: "I was not kicked out of the car! I got off the bus by myself! I got off by myself!"
"You jumped out of the car by yourself?" Duan Qing looked at the outline of the village looming under the rain curtain in the southwest: "Aren't you going to Taran Village?"
"I, I originally wanted to go back to Fars Fortress." Feng Chui Mai Lang's expression then became lost again: "But suddenly I remembered something I forgot to do, so I got off the car halfway. Then
The driver of the carriage didn't object to anything, but he didn't even give me a shelter from the rain..."
"So you still have to go back to Tania now, right?"
Duan Qing glanced at each other with Ciyu Ninglan, who was sitting opposite, and then shouted forward: "This is a bad act of evading fares on the way... Mr. Driver, is there no problem even with this?"
"It doesn't matter, this gentleman is our old guest." The coachman's voice came from the front of the carriage: "We'll just ask him to make up the ticket after we get to Tania."
"Haha, hahahaha." Then the businessman player scratched his head and let out a few dry laughs: "So, I told you not to worry about it. I will pay for it myself. You don't have to worry about what I will bring to you.
What's the trouble? After all, the most important thing in our business business is credibility..."
His eyes gradually turned away from the chattering player. Duan Qing lamented and moved his body away from the businessman to the other side. He looked at the guy in front of him who kept wiping his body and sneezing twice from time to time.
The voice that came out seemed to be talking to himself: "What is your judgment?"
"...He is indeed an ordinary player." Then the voice of Ninglan came to his ears: "Except for the fact that his wrist strength may be a bit strong, the rest of his physical fitness is at the level of ordinary people."
"This is different from the information I know." Duan Qing rubbed his nose and lowered his head: "According to my impression of this guy, he should be at least a high-level thief player."
"Sir, have you ever known him?" Ciyu Ninglan replied quietly: "Sure enough, Ninglan was mistaken. Although if you are a thief, everyone has some ability to hide their strength and identity."
"Are you talking about a guy who likes to disguise himself?" Looking up at the rain curtain outside the window, Duan Qing let out his own sigh: "After experiencing sacrifice, amnesia and almost being betrayed again, what is she doing now?
It’s hard to guess what her temperament is. As we get closer and closer to Tanya, we have no way of knowing the mood of the former Queen of the Night..."
"Sir, don't worry, she will adjust herself well." Ningyu Ninglan said in a low voice: "People who walk in the darkness will have extremely strong willpower. Ninglan also believes in Miss Maggie, she will definitely be able to rely on herself
The strength to get out of this sadness."
"When she said she wanted us to take her in, I also thought that such a day would come." Duan Qing shook his head and raised the corners of his mouth: "I also tried my best not to interfere with the actions of Her Majesty the Queen, and I also tried my best to arrange my daily arrangements.
It's up to her own temper, but..."
"After experiencing so many things, I don't know if this is the right approach." He tilted his head in the direction of the city wall that became increasingly clear behind the rain curtain: "Violet has enough strength to escape from this sea of suffering.
Strong strength and confidence, and she”
"Whether she has such strength or not, I still can't say for sure."
The swaying carriage then moved forward crookedly in the gloomy rain, and finally drove slowly through countless accumulated muddy puddles to the southern gate of Tania. It looked like a very familiar streamline shape.
The city wall gradually became clear in the wash of the rain curtain. In the eyes of every passerby passing by, a bright light that was different from the gloomy sky shone brightly. The sight stayed at the position of the light for a long time, as if there was something enlightened.
Duan Qing then glanced at the simple guild stations that kept passing by him. After regaining his composure, he jumped out of the carriage with the help of Ningyu Ninglan, and then turned back to pay close attention to the person he was.
The wind blew the wheat waves all the way and whispered: "Then let's say goodbye here."
"Ah? Ah, okay, okay." With a slightly stunned expression, Feng Chui Mai Lang, who had transformed the canvas into a cloak, then replied with a smile: "Thank you for your help, Brother Linyuan Duanshui."
"We didn't do anything to help you." After shaking hands with the other party, Duan Qing replied in a calm voice: "Remember to give the money to the carriage driver and then thank him properly."
"No, no, no, your help to me is also very important." He tightened the package behind him tightly, grabbed the wind-blown wheat wave on the strap with both hands and replied with a smile: "And as a businessman, I have already made friends.
It has become our habit.”
"If anything happens in the future, remember to report my name." He waved his hand and walked towards the city gate: "I, Scrap Copper, Wind Blowing Wheat Wave, will definitely help!"
"...scrap copper?"
His eyes lingered on the back of the businessman carrying the package for a while, and Duan Qing, who was muttering to himself, suddenly realized: "Is he one of the "Four Wastes" in the tavern?"
"The numbers of the names look very similar." Ninglan covered her mouth and replied with a smile: "He is also one of the people you met during the battlefield dungeon, sir?"
"No, I met him in the City of Freedom." Duan Qing, whose eyes were still in front of him, pinched his chin and whispered: "But...well, that's it."
"He went to the principality to become a businessman." He sighed, and at the same time turned his head and glanced in the east direction: "Speaking of which, the Fool should have a branch over there, and I don't know how they are developing now.
That’s it…”
His steps to move forward were stopped by two spears in front of him. His face, with obvious imperial features, was stopped by the principality guards guarding the city gate in the name of interrogation. They had already prepared proofs and excuses.
It took him a while to complete the work of passing. The idea of following the businessman player was stillborn because of this moment of delay. It seemed that there was some special factor interfering, because
The rain falling from the sky also became much smaller after they entered the city. The gurgling water gradually gathered under the guidance of stone slabs and ditches, and finally headed towards a central square in front of the street that Duan Qing was familiar with.
They walked away from the location: "It seems that there is really magic protecting it."
"Are you referring to the previous city wall?"
"You should have noticed that the entire city of Tania probably has the remnants of ancient magic in it. The entire city on the low ground did not suffer attacks such as floods in the end. It is probably because of the magic in front of us.
It’s given by the project.”
"I heard that Tania is a city left behind by an ancient race. It uses many technologies that cannot be explained by modern magic... Even gentlemen who are not magicians could not notice it before. I must be very interested in it now, right?"
"On this point, the people in the Mages Council should have the most say."
Following the crowds of people walking in the city, Duan Qing's eyes wandered back and forth on the familiar city street scenes: "They have been in this city for long enough, even Wiggins
That guy has been living in seclusion here as the director of the library. Tania has been able to survive countless wars and conflicts to this day, and the existence of these great magicians can be considered a great contribution."
"I heard that in the last battle of Tania, four members of the Seven-person Council appeared here." Ningyu Ninglan replied with a smile: "The role played by us people may also be recorded in the history of the principality.
He deliberately ignored it."
"No, those names will definitely be remembered."
Shaking his head deeply, Duan Qing's gaze on the streets began to become more and more frequent: "Whether it's Pamir, Yang, those guys in the parliament, or Wiesel
, Hank, the old man in the underground neighborhood... No one will forget what happened in that battle. Everyone will remember how the principality that was supposed to be destroyed reversed its fate that time, including the many people who fought hard.
The names of the major guilds and adventurers who work hard should be deeply engraved in each other's hearts."
"We just broke away from the name itself." At this point, he pointed to the top of his head, with a disappointed and bitter smile on his face: "Because we have lost our past identity, we have become unrecognized by them...
Well."
"arrive."
The footsteps paused slightly for a moment, and the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Enyu Ninglan then stopped in front of a building near Tania Central Street. Countless adventurers were also taking risks, both big and small.
Raindrops shuttled through the door of that building, using the busyness between them to cover up the depressed atmosphere brought by the old door panels and damaged walls: "Adventurers Association."
"Our first stop, let's start here."
