"Oh? Do you know our captain?"
Unexpectedly, his captain would be known to others on such an occasion. The talkative expression of the man who called himself Pan became even more excited: "Is our 'Great Zhou Empire' going to be famous soon?"
"What empire?" The gray-robed magician who was pulled to the spot said with a black line on his face: "How come you have already entered the imperial society after not seeing each other for such a period of time?"
"Ah no, no, no, this is just our joking name." He shook his hand hurriedly, and the smiling face of the pan was still in front of everyone: "After all, the promoted candidates present are all the best among the masters, big names.
It’s a big name, how can we do it if we don’t come up with a louder name?”
"That's right, at least you can't lose to others in terms of momentum." Another player wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat who approached from nowhere also joined the discussion with a smile: "When it comes to the battlefield, the outcome will be determined.
But it’s not something we can control ourselves. When we meet the powerful men from the big guilds, we will have to declare our famous name loudly!"
"Who is your Excellency?"
"Cross the river at the next end, Jianghu people."
Facing the doubtful looks from the two people, the man in the coir raincoat, who had unveiled his bamboo hat, demonstrated vigorously: "Ah, it's not the person from the Jianghu guild who is speaking above, but a real person.
A charlatan."
"I also know you, you are a member of the Void." As if he had turned into an extremely well-informed insider, the gray-robed magician also began to act like a master: "I was still underground before.
Daoli and Liuchen met each other, and he was very enthusiastic with others at that time...Why, did he win the game?"
"So-so." With the same unconcerned look, Yiwei Dujiang waved his hand and replied with a smile: "I tried my last bit of strength to win by luck. I just wanted to go back and celebrate with my brothers.
, as a result, I was suddenly attacked secretly, had a few fights in the hotel, and was almost trapped and killed there for no apparent reason."
"Oh? What happened next?"
"Then? Then they withdrew. I don't know if they gave up because they couldn't trap us, or if they had other conspiracies and plans - ha, such a small enmity will be avenged sooner or later."
"It's quite a bit like a real gangster, with grudges and intrigues. If it weren't for the fact that there is no real loss in death in the free world, I don't know how big the feud between you will be."
"So what, no matter how big the relationship is, we haven't never married. When this world comes to an end and everything becomes calm, won't the so-called blood feud still disappear, and a dream in the yellow beam will be like the beginning of drunkenness.
Wake up."
Standing there holding his sword, he looked like a hero who had seen through the world. Yiwei Dujiang covered his face with a low bamboo hat, and the chivalrous demeanor displayed by the corners of his raised mouth also made the pan beside him stunned. It seemed that
He was deeply impressed by the other party's full-flavored style: "He is indeed a knight-errant who has wandered around the world. He is awesome! He is awesome! He is much better than little gangsters like us."
"You are from Freedom City, right? The gangs from Freedom City are not much worse than those of us who crawl around in the battlefield dungeon." Yiwei Dujiang shook his head nonchalantly: "
I also heard Liu Chen and others say that the environment in the entire Free City is much darker than the so-called underground world, such as the Shadow Society that spreads all over the corners of the continent, the Twelve Thrones, Star Pioneers, and the recently popular Endless Land.
Bridge—ha, if you have a chance to go there in the future, I must ask Brother Guo to take care of you."
"Ah? Don't you dare." Infected by the opponent's chivalrous style, Panpan hurriedly bowed and replied: "Except for the few missions with the hermit camp, we are just an ordinary small team.
There are only three people in the team, and we can’t even get on the stage, hahahahaha.”
"There are only three people?" The gray-robed magician on the side posed and squinted his eyes: "Three people are coming to play? Or is it a big brawl with a team of five people? Yes, brother, we can fight to this point and even break through.
When it comes to the main game...it turns out that you are the real master among us who pretends to be a pig but eats the tiger?"
"No, no, no, I'm not, I'm not." Facing Yiwei Dujiang's scrutinizing gaze, Panpan denied: "I, I'm not... I didn't... Ahem, there are not three of us here to participate.
It’s a competition! Of course we are a team of five!”
"Oh? What about the rest of your team?"
"He, they haven't come here yet... Damn it, why haven't they come here yet? Don't leave me to be roasted by the fire in this place."
"This dear friend just told me."
Feeling a little amused by the anxious look of the frying pan stamping its feet, the gray-robed magician finally broke the strange atmosphere and started to smooth things over: "His companions should also have celebrated yesterday.
Late, maybe I haven’t woken up from the drunken carnival yet. After all, you have to be a little more indulgent when you win... Where are brothers Yiwei Dujiang? Where are Liu Chen and the rest of you in the void?"
"They are also resting. Anyway, it is enough to arrive before the official competition starts." Yiwei Dujiang patted the scabbard in his hand: "And because of what happened yesterday, many things still need to be reconsidered and discussed. Even if
We cannot make it to the end, and we don’t want to give up the qualifications we have finally won to others.”
"You are referring to the attack yesterday, right?" The gray-robed magician rubbed his nose and lowered his voice: "What is the current situation? How many other teams are victims of attacks?"
"Listen to the roar of the wind, and the spring water of the river. They must have been attacked to varying degrees." Yiwei Dujiang snorted without hesitation: "We have already raised this matter with the organizing committee.
We have protested, Tania’s officials, and even major forums outside the stadium, and we have also formally filed complaints to teach those who don’t know what’s going on to understand what those people are doing secretly!”
"I have also heard about this matter. If the guards of the principality hadn't joined forces with the magician group of the Wizards Council, the crisis might not have been resolved." The gray-robed magician still looked like he knew everything:
"Did the other adventure groups survive safely? What are their qualifications?"
"Listen to the fact that Feng Yin successfully found a suitable opponent in the previous underground waterway 'Gu Refining'. They should be nearby now." Ichiwei Dujiang, who looked around secretly, muttered: "As for Yijiang Chunshui...
It seems that they did not choose to escape underground like us, but ended their battle on the ground. After all, not everyone will make the choice to avoid the edge, but will fight back against the so-called strong ones head-on."
"Indeed, escaping underground sometimes does not yield the desired results. The Nightingale Adventure Group was eliminated in the underground sewers." Nodding his head, the gray-robed magician sighed with a sigh on his face: "Or maybe
That Fool Adventure Group, they didn’t choose to escape underground, didn’t they still defeat the Devil’s Paradise head-on in the end?”
"Hmph, Mephisto is a joke now." Yiwei Dujiang snorted and turned his head aside: "Even the top guilds who knew the inside story ultimately regarded their performance yesterday as their own education.
This is a negative lesson for the team members, even if they have heard of the names of Yumeng and Spartak."
"In the final analysis, we still underestimated the enemy. Each team may bring out its own trump card." The gray-robed magician smiled and patted Pan Pan's shoulder: "This is also a reminder to you members who have already entered the main competition.
Wake up, you may encounter all kinds of strange enemies and use all kinds of strange moves. If you are not careful, you may fall into someone's hands."
"Thank you, thank you dear friend for the reminder." He nodded at the other party, and the somewhat restrained Panpan suddenly blinked his eyes: "By the way -"
"I haven't asked you for your name yet?"
Also being reminded, the swordsman in coir raincoat named Yiwei Dujiang also looked up at the top of the gray-robed magician's head. Facing the two men's gaze, the gray-robed magician's bitter smile became more obvious, but his steps were
He started to back away involuntarily: "Me? I'm just a passerby, my name doesn't matter, hahahaha."
"But you just said that you were a contestant." In the increasingly sharp glare of Yiwei Dujiang, Panpan's doubtful voice became more obvious: "You also said that your teammates haven't come over either - could it be that
Aren’t you here waiting for them to participate in the main competition together?”
"We will definitely participate in the main competition, although we don't know exactly how to participate." The gradually amplified noise attracted the attention of more players nearby, and the gray-robed magician who was retreating and wanting to leave also looked up.
Looking behind him: "If we don't see you now, there will definitely be a chance to see you again in the future. I believe you will be able to do it."
"Insider? Someone with connections? No, that's not right, you——"
With his hand already on the hilt of the sword, Yiwei Dujiang turned around and shouted in the direction where the gray-robed magician was escaping: "Don't run! Are you a spy?"
"Stop for me—"
The drawn sword blade reflected a chilling light in the cold wind, but only half of it was exposed before it was suddenly held down by another hand. Ichibi Dujiang, who was still waiting to continue exerting his strength, then turned his angry gaze to
The face on the side seemed to be very dissatisfied with the action of the armored warrior who appeared here holding down his wrist: "What are you doing?"
"He is not a suspicious person, so you can rest assured."
Not paying attention to the sword intent that was still bursting out beside him, Qie Tingfengyin, who was watching the man leave, also showed a wry smile: "If he was a bad guy, we might not be able to stand here now."
"Do you know him? Who is he?" Canglang sheathed the sword with a cry, and Yiwei Dujiang asked angrily: "I disguised my ID, even if I am an acquaintance of yours——"
"Actually, you also know him, but you just didn't recognize him for a while." He interrupted Wei Dujiang's words with a curled lip, and listened to Feng Yin, still laughing: "Considering the situation he is facing now
Well, it’s understandable to fake your ID.”
"If he really reveals his name in this place, something will really happen."
Amidst the attention salutes of all nearby players, the gray-robed magician passed through the crowd in silence, and then the major teams gathered near the square were still holding parchment rolls and discussing.
At the same time, he walked around the direction of the magic round platform that had been set up behind the square. He also stopped announcing the rules of the competition with a loud voice, and the bearded man named Duan Shanyue also looked at him with an inexplicable look.
Looking in the direction of that person, he cast his silent smile. The expression on the face of the gray-robed magician who was receiving more and more attention became more and more embarrassing. Finally, he stood on the magic round platform.
In the sight of floating straight up, he came to the side of the high platform: "Ahem, that——"
"Don't speak yet."
Originally he wanted to wait and watch the excitement, but Duan Shanyue suddenly clapped his hands as if he had noticed something, and the voice amplified by the magic loudspeaker blocked all the lively discussions that were still going on in various corners of the square below.
, the atmosphere that gradually calmed down was like black steel that suppressed everyone's breathing: "Okay, okay, look over here! We should have almost discussed what needs to be discussed. You should also understand the rules of the competition, right?"
"The 'Head Sheep' we just mentioned in the rules is now standing in front of you." Having said this, Duan Shanyue grinned his beard and smiled, and pointed his big hand like a leaf fan in the direction of the gray-robed magician beside him.
With a sudden wave: "Presumably those who have participated in the Battle of the Holy Mountain, as well as those who are accustomed to adventures in the Wind Continent, also know this manager of the Floating City, the messenger of the God, and the subordinate of the Lord of Violet.
The first magic apprentice, the former virtual king——"
"The Sky-Breaking Blade!"
The exclamations and soaring noises that enveloped the entire city immediately occupied everyone's hearing. The shocking news soon turned into earth-shaking cheers.
Those gazes also turned into blazing rays at this moment, as if they were going to cut this person into pieces with a thousand knives that turned into substance: "Ahem, that's why I said I won't be called the Sky-Severing Blade."
"Since yesterday, friends who are qualified to continue standing here today: I am very happy to see you." Without using the channel used by the event organizer, Duan Qing's words seemed to surround everyone's ears: "
Originally I didn't plan to show up here, but people in the arena insisted on letting me come on stage to say a few words. They probably thought that this would quickly bring the competition into its most intense stage and save the preparation process in the middle."
"After all, the biggest stunt of this competition is here." Finally, when the sound in the venue cooled down again, Duan Qing lowered his head and pointed at his face: "I know that everyone here is here for me."
"Let me be the 'leader' of this competition, just to implement 'opportunity' - the theme of this challenge."
