"call……"
Putting down his fingers, Chu Lingbing wiped the sweat from his forehead, then looked at the MSII-type protective door that had been installed in the house, and nodded with some satisfaction: "This should be enough... hum.
."
"Watch where you run."
After looking around the layout of the room, she put down the machine in her hand, clapped her hands, and walked towards the room where Duan Qing was. The rumbling installation noise and the noise between the workers did not seem to let the door open.
There had been the slightest wavering, even after she arrived. The woman twisted her nose angrily, but finally stopped before knocking on the door: "No... it's true."
Play a game?"
She hesitated for a while, and finally gave up the idea of breaking down the door to warn, and instead dragged some belongings back to the bedroom that originally belonged to Duan Qing. The lingering girlish aura still filled the place, making Chu
Ling Bing's brows wrinkled involuntarily. She threw the black suitcase aside and first set her sights on the brand new luxury game cabin: "In that case..."
"Then I'll wait for you first."
Looking at her outfit, she finally gave up the idea of changing into pajamas, then she fit into the game cabin and lay down in the game cabin, and started operating the system that had just started. After a period of operation, the familiar interface appeared again.
Catching the woman's eyes, she stared at the information displayed in her friend list for a while, and finally dragged a lot of her own messages and information to her eyes: "Shen Xingtian's transfer application... Go find Tiannanxing, it's no longer available now.
It’s under my control.”
"A recruitment advertisement for occupational therapy? Why do you have to let me see this kind of thing..."
"The guild's periodic schedule of activities for the next month... Mount Natas, Lake Ferron, the task of garrisoning Zalaha City, and the exploration of the Goraldin Desert... Well, it should be possible without me.
"
"New cooking activity plan? Well, understanding of cooking recipes and methods..."
As if she finally mentioned what she was not good at, the woman stopped with a frown on her face. Her gaze gradually dropped as she hesitated, and finally landed on the player news on the forum page: "The Principality Changes! The Adventurer's Act has been officially announced.
Filed, a new round of negotiations is about to begin!"
There is also a line below: "A delegation is about to leave for the Free City, and it is suspected that they will make an exchange of interests with the city owner."
"Ah……"
A smile emerged from the corner of her mouth, and the woman shook her head lightly. Finally, she turned off all the things inside and outside the game and lay quietly in the cabin. She had never stopped thinking for many days.
At this moment, it came to a standstill again, and the woman's expression gradually became calmer. Her green fingers, which had not moved for a long time, gradually moved to a certain button to start the game.
"Hopefully this decision... won't disappoint me."
She smiled faintly, and then entered the game amid the hum of the machine. A moment later, she appeared in a square that had not changed in the past few days, but was also very familiar. The ravines in front of her that she had studied for a long time seemed like
Because of the repairs by Tania's workers, they disappeared, and even the damaged houses around them returned to their original appearance. She took a deep breath, and finally walked in the opposite direction of the crowd towards Duan Qing.
Walked past the address I had visited.
Then, she got the news that Duan Qing had gone on a mission to the Eastern Region.
"Uncle didn't tell you? So he is also that bad?"
Mengzhu, who was busy with recruitment work, pulled the woman in a black cloak into the villa, and her originally angry expression became melancholy: "But... uncle didn't intend to let more people go."
You know, we made a lot of enemies, and this mission is no joke, so even I didn’t go to complete it..."
"The City of Liberty...right?"
Looking at the direction where the sun was about to set, Xue Ling Huan Bing frowned slightly: "It should be too late to catch up now..."
"Ah? Sister Xue, are you going too?"
The girl hurriedly shouted: "This time is really dangerous! My uncle has taught me several times. Sister Liushang and Sister Ninglan are also because of their high strength... Well, I don't mean that Sister Xue is not strong.
I mean...it's already been a day..."
"Thank you, and...it's okay."
A smile escaped from the corner of her mouth, and the woman touched the girl's head: "Since entering the free world, I have spent a lot of time alone, so compared to other people... I am better at acting alone.
."
"If we calculate the time, they should have just arrived at Kalon Pass." The woman's voice became deeper as she turned around: "So... they should still be able to catch up."
"That's right!" Mengzhu behind him suddenly shouted: "Isn't there a train now? You can try that one. Maybe you can reach your destination earlier than those envoys and so on!"
"...The fares of trains and airships are very expensive, so there is no need for that now." Xueling Huanbing looked back at Mengzhu, and then replied with a low smile: "And..."
"What I'm looking for is Duan...Moshang Qingshan is not from a free city."
She walked outside without looking back.
"I still have a lot of things... I want to confirm with him."
******************************
"Kalong Pass..."
At the same dusk, a convoy of several large carriages slowly arrived at the gate of a certain fortress, and then, with the joint efforts of the coachmen, stopped at the foot of the hill outside the gate: "This is the second
This is the first time I’ve been here.”
"We have passed by here countless times, comrade newcomer."
Smiling and jumping out of the carriage, the blue-haired swordswoman cast a contemptuous look at Duan Qing: "Just during the time when I was looking for you, we ran back and forth from here several times..."
"Please don't rush in and out, and pay more attention to the beautiful scenery around you." Duan Qing, who was sitting on the edge of the car, responded unceremoniously: "Maybe you will discover the beauty of the world and become younger."
"You...hum."
He turned his head amidst the snickers of the maid, murmured and turned towards the direction of Kalon Pass: "No matter what you do, the existing facts will not change... Be careful, if things don't go well, tonight
You might lose your life."
"...Are you referring to the Restorationists?"
Looking towards the south of the outer city, Duan Qing frowned a few times: "They probably just occupied the Fenghua Town area, they haven't grown to this point yet, right?
"Our news was fast enough, but nearly two days have passed."
The whisperer in front replied calmly: "So now...everything has become uncertain."
"..."
After exchanging a look with Ciyu Ninglan beside him, Duan Qing frowned and walked toward the gate of the outer city. Then, with the rest of the convoy gathered together, he passed through the gate under the vigilance of countless guards. People from all over the place
The merchants and players are setting up stalls and selling in the open space between the outer city and the inner city as always, maintaining the prosperity that seems to have never changed here. However, the group of people from the Free City seem to dislike this place.
, quickly walked around to the side with fewer people: "A group of common people..."
"Aren't you used to this kind of life, deputy minister?"
"No, I'm just worried about our safety."
The envoy from the Free City was a nobleman who looked to be in his thirties or forties. His expensive attire and accessories highlighted his identity. Even the younger guy accompanying him seemed to be dressed like a nobleman.
The person who was talking to Duan Qing at this time was this young man with an impatient look on his face. He also had an unbearable look on his face when he spoke. While he was talking, he kept tapping the hilt of the sword at his waist, as if he was shouting at the surrounding people.
Declaring that he is not to be trifled with: "The civil strife in the principality has reached this level. No one can be reassured anywhere. Even the capital has almost become the place where Lord Bart and I died, let alone such a messy level...
…”
"That's why the Speaker sent us to escort him." Duan Qing replied politely: "There is also the matter of going to the Free City..."
"snort!"
After bypassing a large area of stalls arranged around like a maze, the young deputy envoy in full view of the crowd snorted: "What Tania saw this time... I will report everything!"
"This is also one of our missions together." Duan Qing replied nonchalantly: "We guarantee... that the principality has passed the most difficult period and will soon stabilize."
"you--!"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing."
Seemingly sensing the hostility of the young man next to him, the middle-aged nobleman walking in the center finally raised his hand: "The matters related to the principality will be discussed when we return to the city... You can discuss them as you like, we need to solve them now.
It’s a question of accommodation for the night.”
"Deputy Rondoer's office, the night here is really disturbing." He said to Duan Qing: "Your Excellency Qingshan, I wonder if you can solve it?"
"We have already talked with the generals at the pass, and they will provide some safe places." Duan Qing replied: "With the Speaker's warrant, I believe they will be responsible for the issues you are most worried about, but..."
"……how?"
"The terrain of Kalongguan is limited, and there are not many accommodations that can be accommodated in the inner city." Duan Qing replied: "So...it may be difficult for all of us to live in it."
"That's it..."
The middle-aged noble stopped and glanced at the gate of the inner city: "So... how did you arrange it?"
"It's just one night anyway, we can just stay in the hotel."
After signaling to the accompanying escort, Duan Qing showed a confident smile: "If it doesn't work out, we can also set up camp... After all, we are adventurers, and this kind of life is very familiar."
"...Then thank you for taking care of me."
Staring at the young nobleman snorting next to him, Bart replied with a kinder smile: "I hope this night can be passed safely."
"Don't worry, your Excellency, this is Kalon Pass." Whispering whispers on the side said softly: "Even if there are really desperadoes, they don't have much courage to dare to come here."
"We will keep watch for you outside." She showed a mature smile, and at the same time gently glanced at the disdainful young man: "Don't worry...guy."
"...If that's the case, then I'll feel relieved."
"Good night, Lord Bart."
Several people said goodbye here one after another, and then watched the envoys belonging to the Free City disappear into the gate of the inner city. Duan Qing, who was looking in that direction, finally withdrew his eyes and turned towards the other group of people.
The direction clapped his hands: "Then..."
"What about you? Aren't you going to Falling Star Mountain?"
"Ah? Ah...yes, yes."
The received Black Corn smiled in agreement, and then scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Well... we are going to Falling Star Mountain..."
"Although I don't think it is necessary, I still remind you." Duan Qing smiled and said: "Going north from Kalon Pass is the main road leading to Falling Star Mountain. If you are not strong enough... it is best
It’s better to follow the right path.”
"Yes, yes, we know..."
"……very good."
After giving the other party a deep look, Duan Qing, who was surrounded by the escort, immediately turned his head: "Goodbye then, see you later..."
"Hey! Wait!"
The hurried shouting from behind made Duan Qing and others stop in their tracks. He turned around and saw the guy named Black Corn jumping out from the group of hitchhiking players: "We...
We want to go to Freedom City with you, are you willing to take us?"
"...To the City of Freedom? Take you with me?" Duan Qing showed a funny expression: "Why?"
"Because...because..."
The soldier hesitated: "You look like adventurers who have received a big mission, and you look very powerful, so... thighs! Give us some leg hair! Even if you are doing odd jobs, in the end
You can share some of the soup with us! We are kind, honest, brave and patient adventurers, conscious, operational, skilled, hard-working and listen to orders, and we never grab equipment..."
"...Stop, stop, stop!"
Duan Qing, who raised his hands to block the man's words as skillfully as a machine gun, covered his ears with one hand and the maid player who covered his mouth and snickered, looked at each other, and then turned around helplessly: "Take you? We meet by chance and have no relatives.
For no reason, why should I take you with me?"
"We are famous... Well, meeting each other means we are destined. Isn't that how all gangs are formed?"
The player smiled awkwardly, and at the same time stopped the line he was about to say: "If it doesn't work, it won't be too late for us to come back and continue our plan to break through the mountains... No! We can definitely do it! Give us
A chance to prove yourself!"
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack——"
A vague warning sound suddenly sounded in the south direction, and then as the sound gradually amplified, the commotion in the open space spread. The group of people in the motorcade who were looking at that direction opened their mouths wide, as if they were worried.
Dare to believe the fact that someone really dared to attack Kalon Pass. Duan Qing, with his hands on his hips, let out a long breath and took the lead in showing a wry smile: "That's good now..."
"This is the opportunity you want."
He gestured to the black corn on the opposite side, and then, with the other person's expression dripping with cold sweat, he stretched out his hand toward the south of the city.
"Go and prove yourself."
