"That, that..."
Not long after, inside the floating island, a young swordsman who was called to the edge of the corner by Jian Beidong put down the sandbag he had been carrying, and even showed a helpless and panic face between his hands: "You
, are you kidding?"
"Why, you don't think you can take on such a job?" Jian Beidong, who answered him, stood there with his arms folded with disdain, but the look in his eyes became more and more interested: "No.
So you look down on yourself, have you forgotten why you came here? This is a great opportunity."
"Then I was forcibly brought here by you. I was doing well in the Free City, and Brother Smile was also very kind to me..." After muttering such words, the young swordsman seemed to notice.
He quickly shook his head and denied it as if he felt a sense of danger: "No, no! I mean, the situation here is so severe and the combat level is so high. How could I have the qualifications and ability to intervene?"
"Everything has a beginning, how can you not try?" Jian Beidong still patted the other party's shoulder to encourage him: "And we are not sending you to handle this matter alone, we will also send people to help you.
If you complete this task, you won’t have to waste unnecessary worries.”
"..."
Jian Beidong did not immediately answer Jian Beidong's words. The young swordsman stood there and fell into silence. Jian Beidong, who was looking at the other party, seemed to have noticed the other party's actions of staring straight at the remains of the battlefield in front of him, and his words of comfort to the other party also failed.
He became much lower-pitched: "Don't worry, we are still in charge here. Even if the other party comes to attack us again, we will be able to hold on."
"...Those things flying in the sky, they shouldn't be human beings, right?" The young swordsman pointing in that direction also had a bit of hesitation in his answer: "Those who were entrusted to me, in the end, are also
Do you want to fight an enemy of this level?"
"So it's your indecisive temperament that's why you're bullied like that every day by those old guys in Wizard." Jian Beidong curled his lips helplessly, and waved his lips with disdain.
Hand: "Taking a step back, what if all the people you trained are dead? You just treat it as a group of soldiers who were trained by you and died after being thrown into the battlefield."
"Does it sound like some kind of business game? And the kind where you don't need to bear the losses?" Pointing to the ordinary grassland people who were busy around, Jian Beidong put the young swordsman shoulder to shoulder.
Hug him aside: "But if it succeeds - think about it, in the future there may be a large number of NPC warriors who are beyond the top level to help you. Isn't this enough for you to dominate this grassland?"
"There's obviously someone better than me."
Muttering such words to himself, the young swordsman's expression became even lower: "I know, I have been here for so long, the players in that team - among them
There are many people who are qualified to do this, but if it doesn’t work, you still have to..."
"That's not okay, Mr. Baozi, that's not okay." Jian Beidong stretched out his hand to stop what the other person wanted to say next. Jian Beidong shook the other person's shoulders and replied: "You are no longer the little guy who worries about gains and losses. You need to grow up.
, although I can still help you solve any problems without hesitation, but it is not good to hide in this place and continue."
"Do you still remember the woman who was trapped in the void world with us when I went to the tower to rescue you? She is the owner of the Violet Tower, and can now be called a god." He blinked at himself.
With his eyes wide open, Jian Beidong decided to change his perspective and continue to persuade his brother: "We are considered people trapped under the same roof with God. What else do you have to be afraid of?"
"That... woman who calls herself Violet?" It seemed that she had recalled some strange memory, and the young swordsman's expression became a lot strange: "That woman... it's really hard to imagine that she actually has
So awesome."
"How powerful she is, I am the most qualified person to comment on this matter." A tangled expression appeared on his face, Jian Beidong decided to ignore this memory and this topic: "In short, she can also
I fully support you and asked me to hand over something to you, something like...well, I think it looks like a rune."
"Rune?"
"In Tianfeng's words, it is a rune used to communicate the power of another world."
A flash of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and Jian Beidong, who put the magic rune slate in his hand into the opponent's hand, then returned to his usual lazy look: "Of course, this power is not given to you in vain. You have to be responsible for portraying this...
This... uh, skill called Rune Line teaches those grassland tribesmen, at least it allows them to put together this formation in a short time that can make it effective."
"It's up to you to decide how to teach them specifically, whether it's letting them set up formations or letting them learn some magic skills." Jian Beidong patted the other party's shoulder again, and looked at the young man with a pleased expression.
The swordsman still had a somewhat sluggish face: "Other leaders have also been assigned such tasks, and they will also teach a group of people separately as I just described and explained."
"Just like the management team and the guild."
Following the finger he extended at this time, the young swordsman also turned his attention to the floating island. The large grassland land still shrouded by the cloudy sky was also filled with various kinds of things.
The scene of tribesmen gathering together and camping haphazardly seemed much messier. Standing on the edge of these messy settlements, a certain caravan leader who had just received some news was jumping to his feet and cursing loudly,
Bai Bu Wushuang who was accompanying him also suppressed the bitter smile on his face at this time, and continued with his hands behind his back solemnly: "In short, the situation is like this, they have no time and energy, so this matter can only be left to
we are coming."
"I'm looking for them to find a backer! I'm not looking for my employer or boss!" The old man, who was still jumping, reprimanded loudly as if he wanted everyone around to hear: "Who do they think we are? We Lu Fen.
What does the Chamber of Commerce do? Even if the largest tribe on the grassland wants to hire us to do such a large-scale work, it is impossible without spending tens of thousands of gold coins!"
"You should know the benefits of this. It is not something that can be measured in gold coins." Baibu Wushuang still calmly touched the tip of his nose: "And they specifically emphasized this when they told me about it.
Said you must be a professional in this field."
Old Lu Fen stopped talking immediately.
"You must have seen how fierce the previous battle was."
He continued speaking to the back of the quiet old man, and Baibu Wushuang's hand holding the bowstring also turned to the front of the grassland on the other side: "In the next battle, you will not be able to participate without certain qualifications. If you want to join the war, you must
Show enough skills to join this war."
"Then we are at a great loss." Turning his head, Old Lu Fen turned his eyes to the other side with his hands behind his back: "Even if they don't consider the future distribution of benefits, they at least have to let me see some possibility of victory.
That’s right—are they really capable of defeating the Holy Mountain?”
"The Holy Mountain is not our real enemy - these are the original words of Linyuan Duanshui." Looking carefully at the empty surroundings, Bai Bu Wushuang lowered his voice and said this answer: "See those mechanical
Life form, I also somewhat understand why he said that, plus the information we previously obtained from 'over there', as well as the adventurers who have appeared in front of us..."
"Huh, I understand." He raised his hand to interrupt the other party, and this time a mysterious smile appeared on Old Lu Fen's face: "So is this what I call 'professional'? Hehe hehe -
-All right."
"Wherever there are people, there will be shadows."
Still showing his rickety posture with his hands behind his back, the old man turned his gaze to the west of the grassland: "This is what I heard from the city lord when I first joined. I was still very concerned about him at the time.
As a grassland tribesman who doesn’t know anything, what do these things do, but now I understand a little bit.”
"Well, for us, this is indeed a very good opportunity." Reducing his mysterious smile, Lu Fen faced Baibu Wushuang again: "But they are indispensable for providing technology and help, otherwise I
It won’t be in vain.”
"After so much, don't you still have enough trust in the relationship between us and them?" Baibu Wushuang sighed and raised his head: "Thankfully, when they mentioned this plan, I
I was the first to ask for this kind of job, because in my mind, there seems to be no job more suitable for us than this... Of course."
"The premise is that we can produce the final result."
Looking to the south of the grassland with the old man, the archer's sharp sight now passed over the heads of countless busy settlements. At the end of the seemingly peaceful grassland, there were vague heads and black shadows moving around, and there was also a sound in the middle.
He said the same words as what Baibu Wushuang said at this time: "The premise is that we can win the final victory - in other words."
"It's a gamble."
The tall haystacks kept falling forward as the strong wind blew behind them. A man who looked like a player squatting among them also smiled and said something like this: "Very good, my favorite is
gamble."
"No, this is not gambling, because we didn't even place a bet." Another player squatting in this place shook his head and replied: "The superiors sent us here just to catch that person, the rest
We don’t have to worry about anything.”
"Come on, do you think the higher-ups will easily allow us to enter the game and join this hunt?" The person who spoke before spat out the blades of grass in his mouth: "If people outside know about it, the so-called alliance will still be
What existential position can we speak of?”
"The rules are made by people, especially for the alliance." The player who had previously answered him had a look of impatience on his face at this time: "And as long as we can catch him here, in the middle
The process is not important, most players will only focus on the results anyway, right?"
"So I said, this is a gamble."
Standing up from the tall haystacks, the player who spoke earlier revealed his figure. The formal clothes and suits that looked completely different from those of normal free world players suddenly appeared on the green grassland.
The words echoed the gloom in the sky: "What is being gambled is not capital, but each other's reputation."
"You should use the word 'life' more appropriately." Another player also stood up, wearing the same clothes and attire as the person in front: "Betting on our respective lives and futures - they won.
, we died, and we won..."
"He will have to die a second time."
The low laughter wandered towards the front of the grassland with the wind, and then disappeared into the air as the two players retreated together: "No, counting the time in Sky City, it should be the third time?
Hahahahaha.”
"That's right, that's the third time, hahahahaha."
In front of the grassland where they disappeared, the huge floating island made new movements for the first time since the previous battle. The roar and whistling of magic were also accompanied by the appearance of countless strong winds, facing the dark clouds in the sky.
It moved forward: "——The speed is increased to 20, and all parts operate stably."
"All parts operate stably and the floating circulation system output is normal."
"The ley lines of the God's Chosen Road have been detected, and the route direction has been selected and planned."
"Don't deviate from the route. There may be other traps on the road. There may also be problems with power extraction... Well, new convection gas has been detected."
"It should be the wind elements we predicted earlier."
Standing in the central control room above the tower, Duan Qing, who had been watching all this with his hands pressed, said in a low voice: "According to predictions, the closer we get to the sacred mountain, the greater the resistance from the wind element we will encounter."
"This may be one of the tests on the road to God's choice, but for a floating island like ours that is large and needs to be entered from the air, this is simply the biggest obstacle." The major tribes on the grassland below have been removed.
The members distanced themselves a bit, and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was sitting at the table and controlling all of this, then replied in a low voice: "If the great magician hadn't been able to borrow the resources of the earth's veins, we might have been consumed by these things.
It's upwind."
"The borrowing of earth veins will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance, if they have control over the entire wind continent." Duan Qing pinched his chin in a low voice: "There is no action now, maybe they are just testing our
Action, or waiting for us to fall into a trap, and then cutting off the source of our 'borrowed power'."
"Anyway, it's just a temporary loan. This is not the only way we can survive." Violet, waving her hands and standing in the center of the room, also made her own declaration at this time: "As for how they will respond.
This provocation of mine—"
"I'm really looking forward to it."
