"Okay, I finally made it to this day."
In the early morning of February 28, 796 in the New Calendar of the Free World, it was another day when the sun streamed from one side of the grassland to the beautiful scene in the distance. The people belonging to the Qingling Adventure Group also set out from the Nasu tribe with one group.
The team appeared, each yawning and blending into the scope of the strong wind: "I don't know how they chose, but they actually chose it on such a day when there was no communication."
"Perhaps people have their own calendar. For example, today is not a good day to break ground at home, practice in seclusion, but it is a good day to go out for duels, fights, killings, etc..."
"If there really is such a calendar, please give me a copy! Of course, the premise is that it really works!"
"Although this is indeed what we are working hard on now, you don't really want to become a native of the Wind Continent, do you? What about your self-esteem and pride as adventurers? Don't you hate it and never stop here?
Is it a strong wind?"
"Speaking of which, such weather is indeed unheard of."
Tugging hard on the hood on his head, Duan Qing, who had already hidden his image in the cloak, looked up at the still gloomy sky above the team: "Even in the grassland, the strong wind that continues 24 hours a day is...
Very rare weather, right? Even the sea breeze on the Endless Sea has never been so strong."
"Perhaps the sea breeze on the Endless Sea originates from this place." He curled his lips and looked to the left in the direction of the team's advance, as if he was looking at the edge of the sea. He replied with a meaningless look: "
Don’t forget the elemental erosion contained in the sea breeze of the Endless Sea - if they originate from this place, then there is an explanation for the peaceful coast we have seen along the way."
"Then a new question arises: Where do these winds come from?" So Duan Qing looked back at the direction everyone came from: "Is there another one standing deep in this grassland?
The source of the wind, right?”
"I did ask the Sioux people, but they didn't give an accurate answer." After knocking on the left and right of the silent Sioux warriors in the team, Goldman lowered his voice and replied: "
I don’t know if it’s because they really don’t know, or because they still don’t trust us…”
"The answer I know is - in the center of this continent, there is a huge rock mountain."
The sudden sound broke the whisper-like conversation between the two people, and at the same time, the figure of Baibu Wushuang who was also following them gradually emerged: "That rock mountain is blowing out endless waves to the surroundings every moment.
The wind pours out its endless energy, and there are even rumors that the wind in the entire continent of wind is born from that rocky mountain."
"It sounds very much like an existence like a sacred mountain." The atmosphere around him was silent for a moment, but Duan Qing was the first to frown and make his own comment: "But considering the area of an entire continent, this
Isn’t the scale a bit exaggerated... How far is that rock mountain from us?”
"I don't know how far it is." He said this dullly, and Baibu Wushuang, who was carrying the big bow, replied without looking back: "But it must be very far, because even those who followed him
Even though I have been traveling in the caravan for so long, I have never seen the face of that mountain."
"That's really far enough." Duan Qing scratched his cheek, and the expression on his face gradually became heavier: "But how can the wind maintain such strength at such a long distance... Hmm."
"This can be considered one of the characteristics of the Wind Continent."
Duan Qing said this on behalf of Duan Qing. Asahi Dongsheng, who was walking aside, waved his arms vigorously as if he had realized something: "And I finally understand another truth! Why do people here need the Wind Stone so much!"
"If it were me and my tribe surviving in such an environment, I would definitely find a way to deal with these annoying winds." The heavy armor and shields made a tiny buzzing sound as the strong wind blew by, Gede
Myen also let out a low sigh: "If the Stone of Wind really protects us from these strong winds, I will definitely buy one and take it with me."
"In other words, we don't even have the treatment that the lower-level people should have?" Duan Qing let out a wry smile and looked at the Sioux soldiers walking silently aside, then put away his helpless eyes: "
This is a really sad conclusion. I just hope that those of us who have been exposed to these strong winds for a long time will not suffer any other sequelae - huh?"
"What's wrong with you?" As if he had just noticed something unusual in the team, the gray-robed magician turned his attention to Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had been walking silently with his head lowered: "Why don't you speak?"
"……nothing."
Looking up at the other party, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes full of fatigue and complex meaning were hidden again in her lowered head: "I'm fine, let's hurry up and get on our way."
"Even the concealment looks very clumsy." Duan Qing sighed deeply, and then the voice belonging to Xue Ling Huanbing floated by Xue Ling Huanbing's ears: "It seems to have started since the last time you went offline.
Is it like this? Is there some problem in reality? "
"..."
"Now I cannot ask you to tell the truth in reality, because I cannot interfere with reality for the time being."
Seeing the embarrassment that the other party fell into silence again, Duan Qing spoke again in a low voice: "But at least if you really encounter any problems or difficulties, there is nothing wrong with telling them and letting everyone work together to find a solution."
"The only way I can understand the situation outside now is by relaying it back and forth to you and the companions around you." He turned to Asahi Dongsheng and Gede, who had started bickering again at some point beside him.
Mine gestured in the direction where he was, and the smile that was originally on his face slowly disappeared: "Don't you even give me such a chance?"
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the news they told me..." Pressing her lips tightly, Xue Ling Huanbing raised her head again and finally showed a bit of panic on her expression: "This news is really...
…If it’s true…”
"It doesn't matter, just say it first." Sensing the bad feeling from the other party's words and expression, Duan Qing maintained the smile on his face and looked a bit stiff: "Believe me, I will find a way to solve it.
."
"——I heard that the old alliance submitted an application to the higher authorities."
Trying hard to calm down his breathing, Xue Ling Huan Bing finally told Duan Qing the rumors that had been hidden in his heart for a long time with a stabilized emotion: "Because the major guild forces and families outside are resisting openly or covertly.
Because of this, they stated that they were no longer able to maintain the order of the professional league, so they wanted to ask the officials to use appropriate means to resolve the conflict and suppress the increasingly intense conflict."
"Isn't this a good thing? The people above are willing to listen to the players' voices." Raising his eyebrows, Duan Qing replied in a doubtful voice: "If Yushang and the others fight well, maybe they can really do it in a formal way.
Reshuffling the cards."
"It would be great if it was really that simple." The voice said this irritably, and Xue Ling Huan Bing raised her head again and her movements seemed much more hurried: "This time they are retreating in order to advance.
With this request, they also exposed problems that have been dormant within the alliance for a long time."
"Of course, these so-called issues are all issues that have been screened by them and have nothing to do with all the senior leaders in their alliance." There was a sense of gritted teeth in her voice, and the white-haired woman hid under the hood.
His face became much colder: "In order to solve these so-called 'management errors', while applying to the superiors, they also made many requests to them."
"One of the requests is 'Request to investigate the entire players participating in the virtual reality game world to find illegal persons among them.'"
She read out this sentence slowly, and her eyes gradually became serious: "The alliance said that they have been struggling to cope with the arrangement of events in the virtual world for a long time, and they are not aware of the many strange phenomena that have occurred and some
Unexplained consequences are left uninvestigated, and even within the professional world, there are many instances of similar mismanagement."
"Oh, that's really surprising." The figure walking with the team was silent for a moment, and Duan Qing finally let out a faint chuckle: "When did the people in the alliance have such courage? They actually took their own shortcomings.
Do you admit it to this extent?"
"How is this acknowledging one's mistakes? This is clearly aimed at you!" Unable to resist making such a sound, Xue Ling Huan Bing roared at Duan Qing: "They are taking this opportunity to look for you! If they
If you really mobilize the upper-level forces to investigate all the players, they will find your head sooner or later!"
"That's really difficult for them. In order to deal with me alone, they actually did not hesitate to destroy themselves to this point." Shaking his head and letting out two low laughs again, Duan Qing replied somewhat self-deprecatingly: "The new alliance has already
Now that it is completed and rising, what's the use of me doing it alone? It would be better for them to negotiate with Yushang and the others."
"Because they also know what the ultimate goal of Miss Lou is in establishing a new alliance. Everyone's ultimate goal is you!" Xue Ling Huanbing said involuntarily: "You are now the focus of all problems! You are the entire
The center of the whirlpool! No matter which side finds your existence first, your end will be——"
"Don't worry, they can't find me."
Duan Qing stopped the hasty movements of the woman in front of him with a virtual press of his hands. Finally, Duan Qing curled his lips and said comforting words: "Even I don't know where I am now, how can they find me?"
Where to get me?"
"When I was the general manager of Tianxiang Company, it was not difficult to find someone in Cerulean City." Xue Ling Huan Bing reached out and grabbed the other party's sleeve, with a serious look on her face.
He said: "What's more, the alliance and the forces behind them don't need everyone to take action. It only needs the Chu family to step in and launch a dragnet that should be enough!"
"On the contrary, neither the Chu family nor the Duan family should have similar clues." He interrupted the woman again, and a smile appeared on Duan Qing's face: "In order to completely sever ties with me, the two of them
The people in my family are eager to erase all relevant facts about my existence, so now, they have no clues to find me."
"Probably for the same reason, these people thought of using the power of the upper level to find my existence." Shaking his head, he melted his low-smiling expression into the people who were still passing by around him.
In the strong wind: "Look, aren't they already at the end of their rope and jumping over the wall? The situation seems to be more favorable to us."
"Don't worry, I'm very safe." He restrained the divine light in his eyes, and then patted Xue Ling Huan Bing's shoulder, which fell silent again: "Instead of thinking about those far-fetched things, it's better to be honest
To prepare for the duel before us...how are you doing with the exercises I gave you before?"
"Of course there is no problem."
"Every time you say that, it's when you have a problem. I know you very well. It must be because of this rumor that you haven't calmed down to hone your skills in the past two days."
"Just, so what if you guessed right? You can't just rely on me to win this battle, right? How much do you know about the opponents of the Nashi tribe?"
"This is not a problem that I should solve, but a problem that should be solved by the person who has been handed this problem - Hey! Asahi Dongsheng! Did you hear that? How are you doing inquiring?"
"The old man didn't have any more information. The information he told me was the same as before. The Lufen Chamber of Commerce didn't seem to have much business dealings with this tribe before, and he didn't even hear the other party's name.
How many."
"Then the Sioux people have also described these opponents, saying that they are 'as cunning as wolves'... Ha, if they are really like wolves, then these enemies are not easy to deal with."
"Wolves can only show their strength when they gather together. Fighting alone is not their specialty, unless they really have a presence like a wolf king, or they can play some dirty tricks... Well."
"It seems we've arrived."
Amidst the whistling sound of the endless wind that still blew through their ears, a line of crystal water appeared in front of the mixed team composed of the Sioux warriors and the players, and the waves were moving.
Along with the passing of the crystal clear river and the faint sound of gurgling water in the strong wind, the heads gradually gathered on the edge of the green grassland, standing side by side in a welcoming manner in the distance of Duan Qing and others' vision: "So
What's the use of asking so much."
"It's better to hear a hundred times than to see it once."
