"Then, that, that...hahahaha!"
The sound of wind whirling over the grassland stayed for a few seconds with the appearance of this scene. At the same time, all the sights originally gathered on the warring parties were focused on the rushing figure, and the gray hair followed.
As the skinny figure gradually became clearer, his dry laughter slowly spread towards the distance of the grassland: "Misunderstanding! This must be a misunderstanding!"
"Everyone, don't get excited! Put down our swords and guns!" The hood with feathers and tail quills of various colors fell in the wind as he spread his hands, making the dark skin of an old man appear even more prominent.
It became clear: "We are just an ordinary chamber of commerce! We cannot have any ill intentions towards everyone present!"
"There are no swords, guns or weapons in the first place, and they are not as rude as you said." He said this lightly, and Surtu, who gradually put away his fighting posture, also walked forward slowly: "But...
Chamber of Commerce, when you say that, I have some impressions."
"It's the one called Lufen Chamber of Commerce, right?" He looked up and down the face of the old man standing in front of him, and then his sharp gaze seemed to want to pierce the other person: "The adventurer behind you is also
A member of your chamber of commerce?”
"No, that's right!" The old man, who seemed to have just recovered from a state of shock, raised his hands as if innocent, hurriedly explained loudly: "He, he is a member of our Lufen Chamber of Commerce, and he is also one of mine.
An apprentice, he has been following me since the Chamber of Commerce’s fleet first started running!”
"You, you can't kill him!" His expression became excited, and his open mouth and tears overflowing in his eyes looked like he was about to cry: "I still hope that he will bring us together.
It continues! There are also things like serving tea and water, rubbing clothes and washing feet... If he is missing, how will I live in the future!"
"You, shut up, old man! What nonsense are you talking about? Get away from me now!"
"What do you know! I'm trying to save you, you idiot! Just lie there and watch!"
"——We are just exchanging skills."
With a dark face, he looked at the two figures, old and young, gnashing their teeth and arguing quietly in front of them. Surtu, who was standing in front of them, finally put away his fists: "The discussion has always been about finishing the point. Originally, it was not
It won't be life-threatening, so please... uh, President Lu Fen, please rest assured."
"That's right, that's right, the martial arts competition should be completed to the end!" He hurriedly laughed in response, and the old man Lu Fen, who was guarding Baibu Wushuang, gestured with his fingers and replied: "I am an unworthy apprentice.
Normally, there is nothing big or small, no matter what you say or take action, it doesn't matter. If I offended you in the contest just now, please forgive me, please forgive me."
"I don't know the importance? No, his bow and arrow skills are very good." He let out two cheerful chuckles, lowered his face and dusted off the dirt on his body with ease: "Whether it is the choice of moves or the on-the-spot
Regardless of the situation, his performance is what a strong warrior should do, and we had a great time sparring just now."
"Being able to be praised by the first warrior of the Sioux tribe is my... uh no, it's my honor as an unworthy apprentice." The smiles on his face seemed to be about to completely gather the wrinkles on his face. The old man Lu Fen supported him.
The player behind him stood up slowly: "Then if there is nothing else, please allow me to take my apprentice to sue——"
"what are you saying?"
Putting his hands behind his back, he interrupted the old man in front of him. The man named Surtu's eyes became serious again: "This is where the most powerful warriors of the Sioux tribe gather, and it is also where we warriors of the Sioux tribe gather.
It’s our final training before we go off to war.”
"He is one of the members of this expedition team." He pointed behind the old man, and his eyes met with Baibu Wushuang, who also showed an unyielding look: "How can we let him leave at this time?
?”
"Yes, but -"
"Why, could it be that it was not out of his personal will that he participated in the tribe's selection and passed the trials at the beginning?"
His eyes became colder and colder, and Surtu, who was standing there, began to exude a dangerous aura: "You people from the Lufen Chamber of Commerce, are you just treating our tribe's most sacred ritual as a child's play?"
The increasingly embarrassing atmosphere spread to the surroundings as the old man hurriedly denied his voice and movements, and at the same time, the commotion in this grassland became more intense. It seemed that he could not withstand the cold sweat on the face of President Lu Fen, who was talking about it all around.
There began to be more and more, and the hands that kept swinging seemed to be unable to block the pressure exerted on him by the angry-looking tribal warriors in front of him. It seemed that he was facing what the old man in front of him was facing at this time.
Indifferent to everything, Baibu Wushuang struggled to stand up and dragged his body towards the side of the grass with a meaningless expression. Ignoring the shouts of the surrounding tribe members, he then sat on the big table minding his own business.
In the edge area that most people would not notice, the hands raised to bandage themselves also stopped in mid-air as a potion bottle was suddenly raised in front of them: "...is it you?"
"Hey." He said hello lightly, and Duan Qing, who was helped by everyone, weighed the potion bottle in his left hand up and down: "Although the injury doesn't look serious, I'll give you a bottle first."
"Thank you." His eyes stayed on Duan Qing and the other players who also came here for a moment. Baibu Wushuang finally reached out to accept the potion bottle in front of him: "This kind of thing is scarce on the grassland, it's okay.
Don’t give it to others casually.”
"Oh? Really?" Duan Qing looked around him in surprise: "Looking at the way this grassland is so full of magic, I thought magic healing potions could be made casually. Plus,
With the foundation of your chamber of commerce, isn’t it a piece of cake to get eight boxes out of ten?”
"..."
"...Okay, let's not talk about those useless things."
Looking at the other party's cold and stoic expression, Duan Qing put away his joking expression and pointed to the northeastern part of the Sioux camp: "Did you discover our station there?"
"..."
"You noticed our presence in the Sioux camp and then told that Lu Fen?"
Not paying attention to the other party's still silence, Duan Qing continued to speculate: "What do you want to do? Just recruit a few more players into the club?"
"I just saw you by chance." He raised his head, and the indifferent voice belonging to Baibu Wushuang also sounded in a low voice: "I told Lu Fen what I discovered in the Sioux tribe, and then he ran to
I'm looking for you over there, there's nothing else."
"In other words, it was Lu Fen who took it upon himself to win us over to join the association?" After blinking his eyes, Duan Qing's doubtful voice once again sounded in everyone's ears: "You have nothing to do with this.
?”
"……No."
"Then what is his purpose of recruiting us to join the club?" Looking in the direction he came from, Duan Qing couldn't help blurting out the questions in his mind: "It can't be because he really takes a fancy to our 'talent' or something like that.
Something, right? We are strangers who have never met before—"
"No, we should have met."
The raised eyes were filled with inexplicable divine light. The archer player named Baibu Wushuang interrupted Duan Qing's question with a calm voice: "Although I am not very impressed, I am not impressed by some of the faces among you.
It still leaves some impression.”
"You guys came from Liberty City, right?"
When he asked such words, his patrolling gaze finally fell on Xue Ling Huan Bing. She covered her tied white hair with a hood and twitched the corners of her mouth at this time.
His eyes also met with the archer who was close at hand: "You wouldn't make such a guess just because of me, right?"
"Of course not, after all, the news outside has been very exciting recently." Moving his eyes to the side, Baibu Wushuang replied slowly: "Coupled with the time at which you appeared, it is still easy to guess your origins.
from."
"That's not right. After all, most of the information revealed in that battle over there has nothing to do with us." Duan Qing shook his finger, covered his wound and retorted with a grin: "That was a battle of various kinds.
How can the war between the big guild forces in the void space be connected to us?"
"I am different from those ordinary civilians. I am familiar with many of the people involved." A look of disdain flashed through his eyes, and what Baibu Wushuang said next also surprised Duan Qing and others.
: "Whether it's the Twelve Thrones in the City of Freedom or the guys from the Destiny Alliance in the Magic Empire, I know more or less some of their information, so I can more or less guess what they are thinking now.
"
"Do you know about the Destiny Alliance?"
The surrounding noise and the wind and waves blowing through the grassland seemed to be isolated from the world. The gray-robed magician with his right arm hanging suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Have you also been to the Tower of Tyran?"
"I haven't been there. After all, I left their team before they captured the tower." Shaking his head, Baibu Wushuang still maintained his plain expression: "But about that tower
I still know some information, including how the tower exists in the void, and what role the tower can play."
"Of course, even without considering whether you used that tower, your origins can be easily guessed."
He looked at the hesitant faces of Duan Qing and others looking at each other, and there was also a bit of certainty in the voice that continued to sound: "The opening of the Miracle Bridge has made many people pay attention to it again.
All existences, which naturally includes the huge battle that took place in the City of Freedom not long ago, most people have focused their attention on the participants in that battle and the subsequent development.
Some details of what happened in that battle have not been pursued."
"Now more and more people are being held accountable. For example, during a battle one night, a sightseeing train from Liberty City rushed into the battlefield." He said this while looking at Duan Qing and others.
His face kept looking back and forth: "That train finally crashed into the Freedom Bridge and disappeared without a trace. Now that I think about it, it must have been you."
"It was at that time that you began your journey, and finally crossed the endless sea and came to this continent."
Under the sun, the archer sitting cross-legged on the spot kept wrapping his arm with a bandage. The voice that sounded like a narration also successfully attracted the attention of everyone in the Qingling Adventure Group. They talked to each other in front of the narrator.
Exchanging looks with each other: "...Well, since he can guess it, everyone else should be able to guess it too."
"Doesn't this mean that our situation is very bad?"
"What's the point? Wings of Freedom and other members of the Restorationists have long known that we are in this place, and the situation will not be worse than it is now. At most, it will only make them regretful when they go back to settle the reasons.
"
"What right do they have to regret it? We all got through this place with our strength, so what else do they have to complain about?"
"In short, this is a good thing for us." Duan Qing took a long breath, and used an indifferent smile to calm down all the low-pitched discussions behind him: "At least we can be sure that this Lu Fen
The people from the Chamber of Commerce are not with them, we are not in danger yet."
"Not only that, we might become comrades-in-arms soon." He turned his head with a smile, and Gedman next to him also looked puzzled: "By the way, why do you want to participate in this ceremony?"
"Because it's boring." Putting away his observation, Baibu Wushuang once again gave a jaw-dropping answer: "It was too boring to stay in that brigade that ran around every day. Later, I passed by that camp.
, so I ran in and gave it a try.”
"What? So you just tried your luck and got shortlisted?" So Asahi Dongsheng also opened his eyes wide: "You have capital, brother! No wonder you look down on those Sioux guys so much -"
"Can you please lower your voice?" He hurriedly interrupted the other party, looked at Duan Qing whose head was pressed down by Goldman, and then sighed helplessly: "There are people from the Sioux tribe around, so you can't block it even a little bit.
Do you want to touch your mouth?"
"It's not something worth boasting about." Baibu Wushuang replied calmly: "After all, people like you can pass the test, so it's only natural that I can pass it."
"Yes, when we participated in the trial that day, we didn't seem to have heard of any other adventurers participating." As if he had just thought of this matter, Duan Qing once again showed a puzzled look: "When did you do it?
Came here?"
"I--"
The voice that was about to answer stopped in mid-air. Baibu Wushuang suddenly turned his attention to the middle of the grass beside him. The voice belonging to Surtu then echoed in the ears of the others in the impact of a strong wind.
, accompanied by his figure standing vaguely at the front of the team: "Whatever you are looking at! Come back here!"
"The test is still going on! No one can escape today!"
