As this voice appeared, two players slowly walked over to the right of the two, to the west of the fortress. One player looked like a swordsman, with light black leather armor covering almost his whole body.
, a piece of thick iron armor was tied to the left half of his chest, but the leather armor disappeared when it reached his right arm, replaced by exposed strong muscles and some eye-catching dark green tattoos
.At this time, his gloved hand was on his waist, looking at the woman in front of him with a smile, and at the same time, he blocked the hilt of the sword at his waist, so that
Duan Qing couldn't see its true appearance clearly from the front. However, in comparison, the female player's outfit seemed very easy to recognize, because she was wearing a large robe when she walked over.
"Didn't you go to collect the equipment in front? Why haven't you left yet?" The woman named Qian Zhihe walked up to Duan Qing carelessly, but only gave Duan Qing a look at passers-by, and then looked at the colorful aura.
He shouted loudly: "If you let me know that you are lazy again, I will..."
"Hey, hey, I'm not lazy." Qicai Lingguang hurriedly waved his hand to prove his innocence: "I did go to the front, but it's true that I came back without buying anything..."
"What!"
"No, no, no, I brought back something better than the stuff." Ignoring Duan Qing's awkward expression, Colorful Spiritual Light quickly pointed at him and said, "Here, it's him."
"Him?" The girl, who didn't look very big, looked him up and down for a while, and then asked with suspicion: "Is he a new guy? No... you chose him?"
"Oh, I've told you so many times, people should not be judged by their appearance... I believe in your brother and my eyes, this person will definitely be fine."
It was already approaching dusk, and the darker the sky, the darker the sky. More and more players began to return to this place, but those players were not from the east of Fars Fortress, but from the same west direction as when the two people returned before.
And judging from the tired looks on their faces that appeared one after another, it was obvious that they had just experienced a lot of battles like these two people. But the girl in front of her seemed to still be full of energy - after hearing the colorful aura,
In a word, she walked up to Duan Qing even more confused, and then... walked around Duan Qing twice, as if he was choosing a pet.
"You..." A black line appeared on Duan Qing's head: "What are you looking at?"
"Hello!"
The girl suddenly approached Duan Qing and asked with a righteous face: "Are you... a swordsman?"
"Ah... that's right."
"Well, do you think the mage in this game is strong?" The girl puffed up her cheeks, and the breath of youth almost sprayed onto Duan Qing's face.
"ah?"
"Answer me quickly!"
The girl with red hair wrinkled her cute nose, but her eyes were fixed on Duan Qing's face, as if she wanted to see his face clearly. It was not until this moment that Duan Qing realized that this girl
Behind the head, there seems to be a knot tied on the half-length shawl, like an independent flower.
"Uh, um... I think it should be very strong..."
Inexplicably thinking of the pair of great magician sisters, Duan Qing said hesitantly: "I will definitely be very strong in the future..."
"Hmph...then I'll ask you again." The girl snorted coldly, but glanced to the side inadvertently, and then asked her second question: "In this game, where are the male players and female players?"
Is it stronger?"
"Well..." This time, Duan Qing replied without hesitation: "We are all human, so we can all be very powerful. Gender is not the criterion for distinguishing who is strong or weak, at least in my opinion.
Judging from experience..."
"good!"
Before he could finish, the face in front of him suddenly smiled and turned into a flower: "You are very good! Emmanuel, that's him."
The girl straightened her back, nodded with satisfaction, then twisted her robe into a curtain, turned and left. With Duan Qing's incomprehensible expression, the swordsman behind him smiled bitterly and shook his head,
Then he walked up and said, "I admire such a girl with such a personality every time I see her... How are you, Captain? Have you gained anything?"
"Those things mentioned before are all true." Qicai Lingguang replied with a smile: "I was pulled by this person before I could take a closer look. Later, I saw that he seemed to be pretty good, so I pulled him in to talk.
Talk, but I didn’t expect that you all came back before we could talk about anything practical... What about you? How is the situation today?"
"The routine patrol mission was completed quickly. As usual, there were no accidents today." The man named Qingtian spread his hands and continued: "It seems that until the end of the game, Fars Fortress
It’s probably all safe here.”
"Don't be careless, even if the NPCs want to settle down, they will not settle down." Qicai Lingguang continued: "How could those people let go of such a good opportunity?"
"Don't worry, after fighting for so long, everyone is no longer a fool." Qingtian chuckled: "Problems between players naturally need to be solved by the players themselves."
"The other side probably thinks so too. I checked online before. Except for those guilds interested in the League Cup such as Wings of Liberty and Arashiyama, other guild forces don't seem to have much expression. This is not a
good sign."
"The current situation is already very good, and we can't expect too much." Looking at the direction of the imperial front outside the fortress, Qingtian sighed, and then continued to introduce: "Later, when we had nothing to do, we went to a wild place.
The group was messing around, and those few people shouted that they were good, but unfortunately their strength was not proportional..."
"In the end, you fell into the trap again?"
"It's not like you don't know my sister's character. Of course they broke up like this. The other three people also looked yin and yang weird." Qingtian said helplessly: "Looking back now...could they be Kaleidoscope people?"
"God knows, even though everyone is playing battlefield dungeons, it's impossible to know them all." Qicai Lingguang said with a smile: "And those people at Kaleidoscope have been very honest these days..."
"That's a subordinate guild in Borderland, how can it be honest?" Qingtian crossed his arms and said, "I don't believe it anyway, they will cause trouble sooner or later."
"We'll see what we can do when the time comes." Qicai Lingguang said, "There's no point in guessing these things now. You can just be fine. By the way, Brother Mo..."
He suddenly turned to Duan Qing: "Where did you come from? What is the current situation in the principality?"
"I came here from the capital. I originally wanted to take a look at the situation here, but I didn't expect this place to be so lively..."
"Oh? Then...do you have a guild?"
"The guild can't negotiate, but there is an adventure group. They are all three or two friends we have known since entering the game. We don't want outsiders to get involved...you know."
"That's it, then..."
"It's okay, we're just forming a team, it's no big deal." Duan Qing smiled meaninglessly: "On the contrary, if I go back with a bunch of trophies, she must be very happy."
"If you are worried, just treat me like a savage."
"Hey, Brother Mo, what are you talking about?" Qicai Lingguang waved his hand and said with a smile: "If I think so, what are you doing with those things you had before... I think it's getting late, so let's change a place and have a good talk.
Let’s talk.”
"Change another place? This is not..."
"This is just a transit point for adventurers. Not only is it close to the mission location, but it is also an intersection that adventurers must pass through when going to and from the battlefield, so everyone is used to waiting here." Pointing to the end of the road in the distance to the west, Colorful Emmanuel explained.
Said: "And... we can't let all adventurers sleep here at night. The fortress will always arrange a place for you to rest. Although the conditions are relatively difficult, some players choose to go back to nearby villages and towns to rest...
…”
"Is that so? Where are we going?"
"It's over there, not far from here." The other party pointed to the direction where the girl left just now: "Qian should be there already. Let's go there too and show you by the way..."
"An epic quest for this place."
Qicai Lingguang stood up, patted the dust on his butt, and said with a smile.
************************
"This is...a tavern?"
"To be precise, it's a hotel."
At the end of the tall city wall, you can still vaguely see the shadows of sentinel soldiers, and the patrolling guards are still wandering around the fortress. However, as night approaches, the lights in the fortress have gradually turned on, presenting the entire area to everyone.
In front of me. However, even if it is a well-designed fortress, its internal style is based on safety and simplicity, so it is naturally incomparable with the gorgeous and unique styles of ordinary city interiors. But where the colorful aura brought it,
At this time, in front of Shi Qing, a building that was still under construction and had a very different style from here appeared in the corner of the fortress, and it was also being built in full swing.
"The owners of this store, who are the builders who are working on it, finally selected the blueprint of a modern bar." Looking at the unfilled holes above the building, listening to the ideas coming out of them
In the midst of the noise, Qicai Lingguang smiled bitterly and said: "According to what they said... How could we not seize such an opportunity to highlight the player's personality?"
"But..." Duan Qing asked in confusion: "Even if they build a five-star hotel, it can't be called an epic mission, right? There are a lot of such things in the suburbs of Tania...
"
"Can the tavern there compare to the one here?" Colorful Emmanuel jumped up immediately: "Do you know? What will it mean if this tavern is built?"
"Meaning that we will have an imminent resurrection."
Before Duan Qing could answer, he answered excitedly: "With this place, even if the battlefield copy cannot be saved in time, the overall war with the empire will be very beneficial, at least when the soldiers of the principality lose the battle,
We can use the human sea tactic and drag the corpses to fight back those emperors and imperial players!"
"If this kind of thing is not called epic, then what can be called it?"
"That's true." Duan Qing's countless game experiences made him instantly understand the pros and cons: "But... the players in the empire should also be able to use this method, right?"
"So we all call it an epic mission." Qicai Lingguang explained: "The empire does not have such conditions as ours, because after all... it is still a mission."
"A mission accomplished with the joint efforts of many players and NPCs."
Looking at the tavern that was still under construction, Qicai Lingguang sighed and said: "Not just those architects, but our people here have already spent countless energy on raising materials and applying for qualifications. After all, here in the Principality
It’s impossible to trust us just like that. To carry out such a large civil engineering project in the fortress, the first thing to pass is the Dusk level..."
Explaining the complicated process of their initial negotiations with the fortress and completing tasks, Qicai Lingguang led Duan Qing to the foot of the building that was still under construction, then turned and entered a side door next to it. Here
The interior looks like a lobby similar to an ordinary hotel. Players in twos and threes are sitting on scattered tables and chairs, some are chatting, and some are resting here with their eyes closed. But the increasingly lively scene is also happening.
Tell Duan Qing a surprising fact - this area seems to be open for business.
"Under our strong request, those people opened some places in advance." Qicai Lingguang said at the right time: "About this, the fortress also strongly agrees. Compared with the meager income, the burden of the overwhelmed non-staff personnel is
This is their current headache. Although as far as I know, this tavern is still far from being completed, but it will not be long after it is opened..."
Looking at the waving hands in a certain direction, he smiled slightly, and then led the people to the table: "How do you feel? This place..."
"It's been a long time since I've experienced the life that belongs to players!" Qianzhihe nodded excitedly: "Anyway, it's much better than that cold canteen, although there aren't many meals here..."
"Let's settle for now. After so many days, this one is not bad." The colorful light led the others to sit down, and then said with a smile: "And... you have to believe in the minds of those players, such a good opportunity
, it is impossible for them to give up on the direction of catering where they can make a lot of money."
"The premise is that the fighting situation here can be maintained for a long time." Duan Qing said.
"Of course, but this is not an issue that others should consider." Qicai Lingguang replied: "But... it is an issue that we should consider."
"We will work hard to protect this place, not for the sake of the principality or other righteousness, but just to live here better." Qingtian on the side also continued: "Of course, if the principality can give us more benefits,
That’s good… isn’t it, everyone?”
"Okay, okay, let's not do this for now." Qicai Lingguang waved his hands in vain, then looked at everyone and said: "Since there are four permanent staff now, should we..."
"Think about the task at hand."
