"Hey, Brother Duan is here too, isn't he?"
"Okay, it doesn't seem like the time we haven't seen each other is very long."
Duan Qing, who was smiling but not smiling, greeted Duan Shanyue first after entering the door. The latter also had a blank expression on his face, as if he was seeing an unrelated person.
"Oh ho ho ho."
"Hmm hahahaha."
"The two of them... don't have a good relationship?" Xiao Hongchen, who was following behind, asked quietly while smiling at each other with a smile on his face.
"Uh, I don't know." Mengzhu's voice was also very low: "But I didn't seem to notice it much before..."
"That's because this guy hasn't awakened yet." As if to answer their questions, Duan Qing pointed at the two people opposite him and said with a leering look that made everyone around him feel veins popping up again: "But...
"
"It was a casual remark at the time, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously?"
"snort!"
He was answered with a cold snort.
"Son." Duan Fenglei, who was sitting in front, put his raised arm on the table, stared at him and said: "Back then, you retired without saying a word, and we didn't want to take it seriously, but now it seems...
…”
"It's not like farting."
Then Duan Qing's face became ugly.
"I... let's not hurt each other anymore, okay? It's hard to see an old friend, and I heard that you won the last UEFA Cup championship..."
"That's about the games of the previous generation." Duan Fenglei raised his hand to interrupt the other party: "I think you should know the differences of this game better than me."
"Of course, if I can go up and fight, I won't have any share of you."
"Hmph, you are not ashamed to speak loudly."
"Hey, you don't believe it..."
The brief exchange had already created a lot of sparks. Mengzhu and Xiao Hongchen, who were hiding behind, never lowered their eyebrows: "Then, is that Duan Fenglei? The president of Jianghu..."
"It seems so... right? There won't be a fight?"
"Let's go...Uncle?" The girl began to secretly tug on Duan Qing's clothes.
"Who are these two?"
Duan Fenglei asked on the side, but received the answer from his brother: "They are members of an adventure group. This girl has been together since Novice Village. She was also involved in the adventure in the Emerald Forest...
"
"Oh I got it."
Duan Feng Lei shook his head: "I didn't expect that you would go back as soon as you got around?"
"Hey, this is our leader." Duan Qing shouted dissatisfied: "Although he is stupid, he is still very strong."
"Uncle!"
The golden ponytail jumped up from behind Duan Qing in an instant.
"What does your relationship have to do with me?" Duan Fenglei shook his head in confusion, and then continued to ask: "The incident in Fenghua Town was also your handiwork, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Duan Qing pressed the girl's head down and replied with disdain: "This is something you can find out in one go, and there's nothing to hide..."
"Hmph, you have the guts." Duan Fenglei groaned again as he didn't know what he thought of, "Then... the matter about Fars Fortress?"
"Why do everyone come to ask me about this matter?" Duan Qing pretended to be scratching his head: "What does the Mage Council want to do, and what does it have to do with me? You can go to Wizard and ask..."
"Others may not know the relationship between Christine and you. But I know about the things that happened in the Emerald Tower." Duan Shanyue chuckled twice and tapped his fingers on the table at the same time: "If that mage is because of something,
I am not surprised at all to help some people because of their ideas, and...even if you have no connection with her sudden appearance, why did she appear there, and why did she help our principality..."
"You should know something, right?"
"Okay." Duan Qing's expression suddenly became calm: "In that case, I will tell you."
"We did meet once a few days ago. Although the time was short, we still exchanged a few words."
The attention of everyone in the world, including Duan Fenglei brothers, was completely attracted by Duan Qing's few words, because this was one of the few conversations between players and high-level NPCs in this world.
Situations like this are rare in every game, and everyone who can establish such a relationship represents some kind of powerful strength.
If they were ordinary players, they might still doubt the element of luck, but the man in front of them...
"At that time she——"
Seeing the mentioned expressions on everyone's faces, Duan Qing smiled maliciously: "It seems that this matter was not mentioned."
"I rely on playing with people, right?"
On one side, Duan Shanyue stood up, but was immediately pulled down by Duan Fenglei: "I... it's okay if you don't want to tell us, why do you need to use this method?"
"These days, no one believes the truth." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly, and a smile appeared on his face again: "She really didn't, and I really don't know why. If you are interested, why bother?
Ask me if I am an outsider? You have such a good relationship with the principality now..."
"No one knows about the conversation between the Speaker and Master Shui that day." Duan Fenglei shook his head and said, "That conversation even became a secret of the principality. Many people with ulterior motives are still inquiring about these things."
"Hey, I didn't expect that you people in the world have now become a gossip collective." Duan Qing sneered: "Or... you want to change your job and become an information dealer?"
"Bah! Even if we are human traffickers, we are better than a runaway like you!" Duan Shanyue responded unceremoniously: "If you have the guts to live in the principality, let's have a good exchange..."
"Can the principality survive? It's still two, not to mention... you won't play the game, right?"
"Okay, brother, please be patient."
The scar-faced Duan Fenglei raised his hand and stopped Duan Shanyue who was about to stand up: "He is a has-been, so we shouldn't always be friends with him. After all... in a few days of competition, he will
I can only watch from below."
Duan Qing kept smiling, but did not respond to his words.
"Are you?" Duan Fenglei's lips twitched: "Or... you still want to participate in the competition?"
"No need to test." Duan Qing shook his head and said, "I... won't sign up."
"I am only a level 36 player, how can I... compete with you on the same stage?"
Silence occupied this small room for a while. The scar twitched slightly on the face twice, and then twisted again in response to its owner's words: "That's it..."
"That's such a shame."
"I don't have such thoughts." Duan Qing still had a smile on his face: "In fact, I think this life now... is very good."
"snort."
After a brief pause, Duan Fenglei's nose came out with an accent again: "The words are not speculative."
"see a visitor out."
"Then...goodbye."
Duan Qing looked at the other person, then without saying anything else, turned around and walked out of the room. Mengzhu, who was hiding behind, looked in front, then behind, and finally clasped his hands together and moved up and down towards the people in the room.
After bowing twice, he took Xiao Hongchen and left the place.
"President..."
"It doesn't have to be like this, brother." Duan Fenglei waved his hand and smiled, then sat upright again: "In comparison, he..."
"It's changed a lot."
"That guy... seems to have been trying hard to pretend to be the same as before." Duan Shanyue also sighed: "It's a pity. Even a fool can see his changes, not to mention... I had an adventure with him before.
time."
"It seems that a lot of things have indeed happened in the past three years." Duan Fenglei said: "But looking at him like that, he probably can't do it anymore."
"But... is this really good?"
"What can we do?" Duan Fenglei clapped his hands: "After all, we are not ourselves, and many things... are beyond our control."
Following the door at the back of the house, he looked at the courtyard behind the Adventurers Association, which was where the staff and permanent soldiers of the Adventurers Association lived. However, because the Jianghu Guild had been operating here for a long time, the courtyard at this time
There were also some busy guild members walking back and forth. The midday sun shone on them, as if they were coated with a layer of golden light around the figures.
"If he is still here..." Duan Fenglei's eyes revealed some inexplicable light.
"This circle...should be much better than it is now."
*****************
"Hey! Hey! What on earth are you..."
In another room in the Adventurers Association, several figures hurriedly ran in and hurriedly closed the door - this was a much larger place than the previous room, except for the same wooden table placed in the middle.
There is a table and a few wooden chairs placed next to it. The other furnishings in this place can be described as empty. What’s even more helpless is that, except for a row of ventilation windows with grilles at the end, there is no other furniture here.
There aren't any decent windows.
The helpless man just wanted to take a look at other conditions in this place when the frightened girl yelled at him: "How did you get into trouble with them?"
"Ah? What do you mean I got into trouble with them..."
"That's Jianghu, Jianghu! Don't follow me. You don't know what the two words "jianghu" mean..." Mengzhu waved his hands in the air and waved a bunch of afterimages: "Even if you don't know, those few days ago
It’s not like you didn’t see the player who was thrown out...and weren’t you called a professional player before? How could you not know the name of a veteran player?"
"So this is the reason why I know them." Duan Qing emphasized again: "Of course, it is also the reason to provoke them. In the professional circle, you also know everyone's temper. Even if you can't beat them, on the surface
We can’t lose our momentum..."
"Is this the courage you have to talk to others?" Mengzhu jumped and said: "What if, what if you really piss off someone and come back to settle the score with us? What should I do to you?"
"Don't worry, they don't dare to do this." Duan Qing replied: "They don't have the time to do this."
"Brother, what you mean is..." Xiao Hongchen from behind waved his arms: "They want to prepare for a competition?"
"Yes." Duan Qing said: "At this time, there is nothing bigger than this matter."
He raised his head and looked around: "It's like this for all professional players... Well, is this place our home?"
"Yes, of course..." Mengzhu also looked at it, then picked a chair and sat down: "But it is still suitable for people to live in. That uncle Felicton also gave us this place after being in trouble for a long time...
…”
"You guys are sleeping here these days?"
"Of course not, but... it's not impossible in the future. We are looking for some things and then move here. Although it is a small space, if the decoration is good, we can live here, and maybe we can have it in the future.
A beautiful cozy home!”
When this matter was mentioned, the girl's face lit up again, but the next moment she thought of an important question: "Xiao Hongchen! Where did you go before?"
"Ah ah ah, um... I saw a man who was running around in the world before. He seemed very interesting, so I followed him to have a look..."
"What kind of gangster is this? And can you finish the business for me first before doing anything else? Do you know what Connelly told me..."
"The thing that men in the world like most is the tricks! Also, the thing that men in the world are least good at is negotiating business..."
In the small room, the two people started arguing. Duan Qing, who was frowning, had no choice but to pull a chair to the corner and sit down against the wall. However, the big knife behind his back hindered his movements, so
He had no choice but to take off the weapon and stand it next to him.
Boom——
"Wow!"
Xiao Hongchen, who was still arguing with the girl, his eyes were immediately attracted: "What is this, what is this! Brother, show me quickly -"
Click.
Before Duan Qing could say anything, their door was pushed open. Mengzhu, who had just locked the door, stood up suddenly, but when she saw the person who came in, her body became exhausted again:
"Is it you? Uncle Freestone."
A tall, thin man poked his head and walked in from the door.
"I'm glad you've caused a lot of trouble on my own doorstep again."
This middle-aged man with the same face shape and body shape is wearing a fairly well-fitting shirt, a black waistcoat, and a pair of black leather shoes under the straight black trousers. The black leather shoes are neatly and beautifully tied.
The bow tie was pinned in front of his neck, showing his rather noble status, but the angry expression at this time slightly ruined his temperament at this time.
"But I'm still very glad that you didn't tear down my door... Hey, is there a new member of the adventure group?"
"Ah, this is the person I mentioned before who hasn't arrived yet. I haven't introduced him to you yet. He is Uncle Mo Shang Qingshan." Mengzhu hurriedly walked between the two of them and introduced him skillfully: "This
It’s Uncle Freestone, the president of Tania’s Adventurers Association.”
"Do you call anyone older than you uncle..."
"Don't be wordy! Hahahaha, and what happened today has nothing to do with us..."
"Later, the world came to an end." The tall and thin man withdrew his observation eyes from Duan Qing, and then continued: "Otherwise, I will have to settle a fee with you again."
"Hey, uncle, don't you care about those rogues?"
"My responsibilities determine that I can only manage the affairs of the Adventurers Association." The tall and thin man dressed well bowed slightly and said, "Please understand this."
"That's the sentence again." Mengzhu patted his face helplessly, and then asked again: "So, what requests do you have to make to us when you come here this time?"
"Oh, this time... it's not my fault." The tall and thin man finished this sentence, then stepped away from his body, and another figure emerged from behind him, and then appeared in front of Duan Qing and the others.
That person seems to be a player too.
