Lange Village is a village located in the north of the Free Continent. Although it is located at the foot of the Anchidar Mountains, this place can already be called the north of the Free Continent, because according to what the indigenous people of the free world mentioned
Conceptually, the north-south boundary of the Free Continent is generally recognized to be drawn by this continuous mountain range diagonally running through the middle of the continent. However, this does not mean that the climate of this place is much worse than that of the south. On the contrary, the climate of this village
The climate is much warmer than many places in the south - the warm wind blowing from the further north of the continent, blocked by the mountains, stays for a long time in the only jungle zone in the north, not only bringing abundant fertility to this place
The rain has created a rare rainforest area in the north.
And this village can be regarded as an adventure frontier known to players.
The League Cup is approaching, and those who are somewhat confident in their own strength have probably begun their final preparations, so there are fewer and fewer people traveling together and taking risks together.
The lively Lange Forest has also become deserted due to the reduction in the number of adventurers. However, for the monsters in the jungle, this is obviously a good thing, because not all monsters are like the famous Emerald Forest.
You can kill players at will.
The monsters here are not as strong as the snow monsters on Falling Star Mountain.
During the time when the server was launched, places with potential value have been gradually opened, and Lange Forest is no exception. Every corner of the forest has been explored by players. Many players no longer come here.
In order to discover new unknowns, it is more to find the materials you need. For example, the ice dew grass unique to this forest is the best herb for making powerful healing potions, whether in the market in the free world.
They are still expensive in the player market, so they attract many people to collect them, not to mention harvesting other animals and plants in the jungle. On the morning of the 11th of the Fire Moon in the New Calendar Year 795 of the Free Continent, a team entered
Not long after the forest, a few players who were still sticking to this area unexpectedly discovered a strange figure washed ashore by the current on the bank of the river that passed through the forest.
Finally, a new element appeared in this forest that had been completely opened up. Several players rushed forward excitedly and dragged the man up from the river bank. They tried their best and finally pulled out the man who seemed to be seriously injured.
After the young man woke up, he discovered that the NPC, whose clothes were in tatters, did not seem to be a local resident.
"You..." After a long while, the young man who regained consciousness finally asked the first question that everyone was expecting: "What is this place?"
"Lange Forest, this is Lange Forest." One of the players hurriedly replied: "Where are you from? Do you need our help? Our Xia Ji Badai Adventure Group..."
"...Oops." The man sat on the ground and froze for a long time, and finally muttered: "It seems...it's at the foot of the mountain."
Several players looked at me and I looked at you, wondering what the meaning of the other's words was.
"Then, um, please..." Every word the young man said seemed to take all his energy: "What is the nearest... village from here?"
"Yes, it's Lange, right?" The player who answered before made eye contact with his companion, and then nodded: "Are you going there?"
"Yes, probably..." The young man thought for a while, and finally asked uncertainly: "Well, I remember there is a river called Hongshui River...where is it?"
"Well......"
The players looked at each other again, as if they didn't quite understand the meaning of this question. However, out of respect for the NPC, the team leader still replied sincerely: "Just in the north of this forest, flowing close to the forest.
That’s it…are you really not a local?”
"Ah..." The young man's wandering eyes finally began to gather together: "This is indeed..."
"It's fate."
"Well..." The curiosity in the hearts of several players became more intense: "Are you going to Hongshui River? Is there anything we can do..."
"No need." The man slowly got up: "I... will go to Lange Village first."
With some inexplicable emotions in his eyes, he looked at the direction of the village pointed by the previous players, and then looked at the sky.
************
"That old guy Duan Fenglei finally came back with his people."
In a solemn hall in Tania, the capital of the principality, several warriors in armor were gathering together to discuss the future. One of them, who had just sat down at the table, tapped the page in his hand and said
: "Ever since the inexplicable battle at Fars Fortress, the atmosphere between the Principality and the Empire has become strange again. As one of the participants, that guy must have something to say, right?"
"Of course, that guy never admits defeat." A golden-armored warrior player sitting directly in front of the table slapped his forehead: "And not only the forces in the game, but also the relationship between Jianghu and Wings of Freedom has become
It’s much more subtle..."
"This war was originally considered by everyone to be the revenge war of the Wings of Freedom against them. It is not easy for outsiders to intervene at will." Another soldier sitting next to him said in a low voice: "If it weren't for
Because of these messy things, we won’t be so tied up..."
"You are still so belligerent, Uncle Knight." The player who took the report before said with a smile: "Don't worry, the current situation is so chaotic, sooner or later we will have a chance."
"I'm just worried that we will miss that opportunity again." The player known as Uncle Knight held his chin with his hands and buried half of his face behind his hands: "The League Cup is about to start. If it happens again in the game,
What a strange incident..."
"You can't give up the game, right?" The golden-armored warrior sitting in the middle said with a smile: "There is nothing we can do about it. After all, we are 'adventurers' and not the aborigines of the Free Continent. No matter how hard we try,
It’s also impossible to dictate the direction of this world… right.”
"Did the intelligence mention any news about the parliament? People in Jianghu have worked so hard, so they can't just let it go, right?"
"Well, it wasn't mentioned in the news, but... they have now moved into Yafa." The person sitting opposite said, "You should know."
"Well... that's already a very high standard." The soldier in the middle nodded: "It seems that our allies will have a better future."
"Come on, although I am clinging to the lap of the principality, if this momentum continues, this country may really be destroyed by the empire..."
"If you don't do this, we still have us." The golden-armored warrior still had a sunny face: "The strength of the third largest guild, the Sword of Justice, is not just called out casually. We have been paddling before, but it is not
It means...we can ignore it."
He looked at the other companions around the table with a bright face, and the latter all nodded in agreement.
"Then... we should be able to do our best to prepare for the game." Gregson, the president of the Sword of Justice, said with some relief: "The levels and equipment are all ready. The only thing left is to prepare at the end of this period.
During the time, study the tactics carefully..."
"Report! Offline news!"
A player with a sword and scale badge walked in from the door and handed the pages in his hand to the players present with a serious expression. The president, who always had a smile on his face, saw the
After the news he wrote, his smile gradually faded.
"...Falling Star Mountain?"
His expression became incomprehensible: "Mutation? Who released the news?"
"It seems to be a savage. There is nothing noteworthy in the ID." The man said with a straight face: "It can be ruled out that someone deliberately released smoke."
"Really?" The golden-armored warrior pinched his brow: "That's worth noting..."
"What's wrong, President?"
"A light appeared in the sky above the cloud maze, a very dazzling light." Gregor read the message in his hand: "Let me take a look. There are also huge whistling and shaking sounds. There should be a fierce battle or something like that.
..."
"Above the Xuanyun Plank Road? Fighting?"
The rest of the people were a little skeptical and said: "Did someone break through that maze?"
"Has anyone climbed the mountain?"
The atmosphere in the hall became a little silent, because almost all players in the free world knew what it meant to be able to reach that mountain. But after a while, the president, who was holding the information, turned over and over again.
After reading it several times, I finally discovered the question I wanted to know but hadn't mentioned: "So...who is it?"
"..."
Perhaps because he was a little stressed by the Sword of Justice bosses present, the player who came in became a little restrained: "Those...those players didn't name their names. Some of them just saw someone breaking into the house."
I entered that fog and even had a fight with others..."
"Fighting in that kind of place? That must be very interesting." Another armored warrior sitting on the right continued: "That place where people are randomly teleported..."
"Okay, Great Emperor, I know you like to study this, but now is not the time." Grayson waved his hand, and then continued to ask: "What are the characteristics of those people? Are they frequent climbers?"
"No one present knew them, and due to the limitations of the environment, few people could see their names clearly." The player continued to explain: "And due to the characteristics of that layer of clouds, those few people were almost always entering and exiting.
Out, so..."
"Are there no clues left?" the president asked curiously: "What other noteworthy things happened on that mountain peak..."
"All that can be seen is light, shadow and sound. And now these things have just been posted on the Internet, and now we can't even confirm the authenticity... Ah, by the way, there is one thing."
The man said again: "Onlookers present seemed to mention that the two sides fighting in front of the Xuanyun Plank Road finally shook hands and made peace. The captain of one side withdrew directly with the remaining team members. It seemed that he knew the people on the other side.
It looked like that, and then they entered the clouds and mist and never came out again..."
"That's it." Jin Kai's president snapped his fingers and smiled again: "This is the clue."
"Does anyone recognize where these people on either side are from? Any names..."
"...Someone recognized the guild on the losing side, and they seemed to be members of Dawn of Glory."
In the silence that reappeared, several leaders of the Sword of Justice looked at each other again: "That glorious one... hum."
"Now it's really interesting."
****************
"Okay, that stupid guy is gone, what will you do next?"
"...You actually didn't follow him."
"How could a person with such great ambitions like me end up in a strange place like the Iron Fist Gang..."
"Do you really still want to compete? Also, the Iron Fist Gang is not as weak as you think. They are still somewhat famous in the league..."
"Okay, okay, let's not do this. The vacation during your free time is almost over. Are you... still going back? Are you just giving up?"
"...I will go back."
To the north of Kalon Pass, by the mountain road outside the city gate, two players, a man and a woman, were standing there chatting casually. When the topic reached this point, the woman finally became a little silent.
"What, you finally figured it out?"
"An NPC like Art who has suffered so much can do this, so why should I...not keep doing it?"
So the man became a little silent, and after a while he shook his head: "Hey, the characters in the game can actually educate people..."
The woman did not answer, but smiled with some understanding.
"Well, it's actually pretty good." Duan Qing also laughed in a low voice and said, "What I want is, don't pay too much attention to this matter."
"That's what I want too." The woman still wearing a black cloak said, "And... I always have a feeling."
"I am burdened with Shirley's inheritance. This time, I seem to be... burdened with something extra."
"Ha, the dignity of an adventurer." Duan Qing waved his arm up and down twice: "Don't laugh, today's players don't have such leisure, they don't even have the background content of the mission... Everyone
Now I only care about rewards, attributes, equipment, skills, oh...the latter ones are no longer possible here, everyone can only rely on their own understanding..."
"Get up... In the previous battle on the mountain, you seemed to have used an earthen wall, right?" Sudden confusion suddenly appeared in the woman's eyes: "You actually know how to use magic?"
"Uh, ah hahaha... It's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence." Duan Qing laughed: "But before, I learned a skill called Heavy Slash, which seems to be very good...
.”
After a few more chats, Xue Ling Huan Bing was finally ready to leave after Nan Tieshan. Before leaving, she hesitated for a while, and still said thoughtfully: "Before... when we were in Green Stone Village
, I once thought..."
"Okay, that's not a FLag, we'll see you again." Duan Qing waved: "It's the same this time."
"Okay." The woman looked at the other party steadily for a while, and then took the lead to walk towards Kalon Pass: "But this time it may have to wait for a while."
"I will watch it." Duan Qing pointed to the top of his head: "Your game."
"Haha." A smile escaped from the corner of her mouth, but the woman did not look back: "That is really... something worth looking forward to."
"I'm looking forward to it too." Duan Qing's voice changed into a strange tone: "Looking forward to... your wonderful performance."
The cold wind from Falling Star Mountain blew past the two people, bringing a bit of refreshment to the game world that was still in summer. The woman whose cloak was blown by the wind no longer hesitated, and gradually left in Duan Qing's eyes, and then
He disappeared into the crowd inside and outside the city gate.
