"This is your last effort in this place?"
On the night of January 18, 796 in the New Calendar of the Free World, figures belonging to Duan Qing and others gradually appeared next to a small camp near the edge of the Zhuang Si tribe, appearing inconspicuous among the many settlement camps.
Then a player named Gedman appeared between the tent and the bonfire. He raised his head and glanced up and down the Snow Spirit Illusion Ice for a long time with doubts: "
Just changed your clothes and came back?"
"Fine leather, brother." Pointing to the slightly shiny brown leather armor and black lining of the white-haired woman, Duan Qing imitated the tone of old man Dalalanluo and replied with a grin.
With a smile: "Our captain hasn't changed into this newbie cloth uniform in ten thousand years. He has been accompanying us all the way from the empire to here. What's wrong with changing his outfit now?"
"I don't object to our captain equipping himself well. This is a priority for every leader of a fixed regiment." With a smile on his face, Gedman turned around and put away his probing gaze.
: "It's better to say that it's too late for you, Captain. If you had acted like the captain earlier, our journey might have been smoother."
"I don't think so." After waving his hands, Xue Ling Huan Bing's face still showed a bit of shyness as she sat next to the campfire: "Even if you use ordinary equipment and ordinary weapons, for me,
It is just an increase in the test, and it has no impact."
"...So, how effective is this leather armor?"
"The defense strength is average, and the agility is enhanced by 10%. Although this kind of entry that strengthens attributes based on percentages is very rare, with Lingbing's current point distribution, the advantage of this bonus can only be realized after the level is high.
Duan Qing, who was also sitting next to the campfire, replied in a low voice: "There is also a 'strengthened sprint' skill, which can increase the power of normal attacks and moves by 20% while sprinting, probably because of the use of Running Bull."
The special effects obtained by making animal skins can be regarded as a dispensable bonus."
"Oh? It seems that the craftsmen who made this leather armor for you are pretty good." He raised his eyebrows and replied with interest: "I wonder if we can provide them with some dragon skin or dragon bones."
If so, can you make something better?"

"Ah, I know, I know. How about I do what I promised you right now?" Duan Qing seemed to understand what the other party was implying at this time. Duan Qing curled his lips and moved his eyes aside: "Isn't it because I owe you something?
A weapon...Besides, even if I help you modify it now, it will still take a long time for you to adapt."
"I have long passed the age when I was extremely thirsty for equipment, and I have carefully reflected on my 'greed'." Gedman waved his hand with a look of uselessness: "It doesn't matter if you don't rush to help me.
, but I do have a little bit of curiosity in my heart, so I have been paying more attention to the finished product you promised me."
"Have you ever played 'Tide of the Hunt'? It's the game where hunters hunt monsters that was very popular in ancient times." Duan Qing raised his finger and gestured in front of the bonfire between him and Gedman.
He gestured: "The weapon I want to make is probably one of those, the kind that combines heavy shields and heavy swords, and uses mechanisms to assemble and disassemble them - of course, it's just an idea now, you didn't hear me
If it passes, forget it.”
"I've heard something about it." Goldman's eyes gradually brightened: "But... well, if it really is that kind of thing, then the character's power value will become a big problem. Don't
Even if it is used freely, it is not certain whether it can carry such a heavy thing..."
"Okay, don't worry about this guy."
Pushing a certain shield warrior aside who was deep in thought, a man named Asahi Dongsheng then appeared instead in front of Duan Qing and others who had just sat down: "I have been asking for a long time but I still haven't gotten to the point: How are your actions?
"
"It went well." Glancing in the direction of Duan Qing, Xueling Huanbing tugged on the leather lining of his body: "The news has been released smoothly, and everyone who needs to be contacted has been answered.
As for the effect... we can only wait until the day it starts to make a final decision."
"According to the previous plan, I went back and forth among the small tribes who came here." Shaking his head, Chao Ri Dongsheng subconsciously lowered his voice a little: "The big ones among them
Some people did come here because they learned about our coming here. Of course, I don’t need to explain the purpose, but——”
"There must be something unusual about such a rapid growth in numbers." The voice paused for a moment, and Chao Ri Dongsheng looked at Duan Qing's face with questioning eyes: "Is it you and someone behind you who are running this operation?
"
"I never asked Yushang and the others like this." Shaking his head slightly, Duan Qing immediately denied it: "Besides, they are so busy outside now, and most likely they don't have time to pay attention to us. Even if they
Help get the news out. In this continent of wind where almost no players have set foot, it is almost impossible to quickly form a large-scale intervention."
"Then can I think that the people on the 'other side' are secretly causing trouble?" The hands stretched forward made gestures in front of the bonfire, and the figures belonging to Chao Ri Dongsheng and Duan Qing sitting opposite were also pulled by the flames of the bonfire.
Extra long: "Have they already started setting up?"
"It doesn't matter, this was what we expected." Duan Qing gestured to the side where Xue Ling Huan Bing was, and smiled in a low voice: "It would be better to say that we have already fought so much.
This time, it seems a little abnormal that they didn’t react... Are you right, Ninglan?"
"That's right, Ninglan has been waiting behind Mr. and Miss Lingbing for a long time." As if she understood what the other party was signaling at this time, Ninglan, who was sitting next to the bonfire, also smiled and replied: "Those people
He doesn’t seem to be catching up, and he seems to be giving up.”
"At this point, some assassination and covert tricks are no longer effective." Duan Qing nodded calmly: "Everything must be resolved head-on, that is, the balance of power between our two sides."
"Who can win the final victory?"
As if hinting at something, the gray-robed magician glanced meaningfully at Asahi Dongsheng who was directly opposite him. The latter scratched his neck with a distressed look on his face, and spoke his next words after a long while.
He said: "I don't know either, otherwise I would still be here asking around."
"At least we have to filter it a little bit." Duan Qing gave up the action of continuing to stare, spreading his hands to both sides: "I don't know how many members of the small tribe came here, and how many of them there are.
They really want to participate in our grand event, and how many of them are undercover agents sent by them, so——"
"Okay, okay, I understand." He waved his hand helplessly again, and turned around with a curled lips: "I will go and investigate their situation first, and then make a trust list for you.
...Speaking of which, this is very troublesome.”
"And the risk is not small, I understand it very well." Duan Qing smiled and nodded: "Leave it to you."
The deep wind blew the surrounding grass and swayed, bringing thousands of bonfires that had also risen around this place swaying into the distance of the night. Temporary camps representing various large and small tribes also followed these bonfires.
Dotted and scattered under the grassland around the Zhuangsi clan, they complement each other with the stars in the sky. After seeing off a few figures who secretly left here, Duan Qing, who stopped moving, also panted and stayed.
Next to his own temporary camp with a blazing bonfire, resisting the cold wind, he stretched his body that was tired after a day, and wanted to move back and forth to relax, but he was suddenly hit by a pair of hands on his shoulders.
The slender hand pressed down: "Sir, do you have some shoulder pain? Let Ninglan help you massage it?"
"No... uh, thank you."
The words he subconsciously wanted to blurt out were taken back by him, and an unnatural look appeared on Duan Qing's face for no reason: "It's so late, you... you still don't go to rest?"
"Ninglan is in great spirits now." Her smiling tone was full of softness and sweetness, and the expression and movements of the maid player kneeling behind the gray-robed magician were also full of gentleness: "As long as you stay here, Mr.
When you are around Ninglan, you always become more energetic."
"Stop making trouble, I rarely see you resting." Duan Qing shook his head: "It was like this in the past, no matter when I opened my eyes in the morning or before I closed my eyes at night, you
They all appear in front of me with a smile on their face."
"..."
Duan Qing did not immediately respond to what Duan Qing said at this time. The pair of extremely slender hands belonging to the secret language Ninglan were still gently pressing on the shoulders of the gray-robed magician. Duan Qing, who felt the silence, also felt deeply.
Taking a deep breath, he turned his gaze back to the deep night sky: "Really... so many things have happened, and so much time has passed, the two of us have become
It’s like a stranger.”
"Sir, Ninglan has always been the closest person to you." Ninglan's answering voice also sounded behind Duan Qing: "No matter when and where."
"When the Duan family first handed you over to me, I never had these thoughts." After a slight pause, Duan Qing continued with a slightly nervous voice: "I also... uh, did it at that time.
Some things are not very good for you. So, so... I hope... that..."
"It doesn't matter, Ninglan never takes it to heart." The sweet voice belonging to the codeword Ninglan interrupted Duan Qing's words: "Sir, you actually remember those things from childhood, which really makes Ninglan a little flattered.
Woolen cloth."
"Now that I am in this state, returning to reality has become an elusive thing."
His tone relaxed due to the other party's continuous comfort, and Duan Qing, who took a deep breath, gradually relaxed his tense body: "Including during my trip, I have recalled myself countless times.
More than ten years of life, whether it is from the beginning of memory, or the period of experience extended by the virtual world."
"I have reflected on my life countless times and what I have done that I regret." Feeling the sluggish movement of his hands on his shoulders, the gray-robed magician slowly breathed out: "
Your name and your presence flashed across my mind countless times, so I feel that as someone who has been with me since I was a child, you are probably the one I feel most sorry for."
"I don't know if I will have the chance to say these words in the future, so I will say it now." He cleared his throat, brewing his emotions and wanted to turn around: "That--"
call.
The voice that broke through the air suddenly appeared behind Duan Qing, trapping his movements and sounds of turning around. Ninglan, who was hugging Duan Qing tightly with both hands, also buried her head in the ashes.
Between the robes, the voice that came out was also full of a dull feeling: "No, don't say it, sir."
"Don't leave Ninglan's side." There was a hint of crying in the voice: "Your leaving is the biggest punishment for Ninglan. Ninglan has experienced this feeling twice, and Ninglan doesn't want to do it again.
This is my third experience.”
"...It turned out to be the same as Yu Shang." After struggling for a long time with a wry smile, Duan Qing lowered his head and looked at the pair of fingers that were hugging him tightly in front of him and said, "But the situation between you and Yu Shang is
It’s different, you still bear the Duan family’s reputation——”
"Since the Duan family has abandoned Mr. Ninglan, naturally Ninglan will no longer be loyal to the family." There was a bit of gnashing hatred in the hot and humid breath behind him: "What's more, they actually want to do such a thing to Ninglan.
If Ninglan is forced to give up her husband, how can Ninglan be loyal to them again?"
"It seems that you still have some yearning for freedom in your heart." He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the back of the other person's hand wrapped around his chest. Duan Qing's eyes also flashed a bit of light: "Very good, I
I don’t want to be a constraint to you now. I am very happy to watch you gradually grow and become independent, just like you are today.”
"Don't rush to deny it. Your resistance just represents human nature." After stopping the voice behind him from wanting to refute urgently, Duan Qing also showed a different kind of smile on his face: "I won't hide it from you.
Say, I like you better now, more like you as a real human being."
"I'm also looking forward to your performance at the grand event in a few days."
