"Cape Watch..."
Keeping the name in his mouth, Duan Qing's figure appeared outside the door of the Black Magic House. While looking at the setting sun, he walked deeper into the alley: "Is it true?"
"Forget it, just think of it as being cheated once."
Silently making up his mind, Duan Qing put away his suspicions, and at the same time carefully put the invisibility potion that a shadow mage had thrown at him into his bag - during the previous period, as a Void Book
As the museum administrator, she introduced to herself a series of rumors about pirate treasures, and one of the important pieces of information was the "Covenant at Cape Watch" mentioned in the records.
"According to legend, in the era when countless pirates just appeared and made trouble, they were once the overlords who ruled the East China Sea. However, even the most powerful force has a process from chaos to unity. Countless pirates are constantly internalizing in order to become the king.
Fighting, trying to bring all the pirate forces under his command, and when they were exhausted by their own fighting and external forces were about to take advantage of it, these pirates who had been fighting for decades finally realized that they should
Unite and end this senseless war."
"Even the pirates on the Endless Sea have a character that resembles that of the Free City... Is this what the so-called covenant refers to?"
"The so-called covenant is just a legend, even if it is recorded on the page. Otherwise... how could adventurers over the years not find the reason?"
The words Gardevoir said before were still echoing in his heart. Duan Qing smiled helplessly, but the hand that tapped the hilt of the sword gradually became rhythmic, as if he thought of something interesting - the pirates at that time all came together in order to have a truce.
They gathered at a place called Seaview Cape, and then, just like a promise jointly made by warlords from all parties, they delineated the distribution of interests in the vast East China Sea and their respective spheres of influence. Naturally, such a covenant cannot win everyone's rights.
Support, even the pirates who signed their names could not trust each other, so in order to express their sincerity, all of them left the treasures they brought in that place, and then regarded the covenant together with countless gold and silver as
The deposit was generally sealed. In the following ten years, pirates from all sides continued to conflict as before. Every time a pirate leader from one side died for various reasons, and then was gradually buried in the memory of generations.
Overlapping, but no one cares about the sealed treasures. Even the pirates who signed their names but were later breached by the other party have no intention of going back and taking them out. Therefore, those who gathered the properties of all the pirates in the East China Sea,
In this way, together with the unknown Cape of the Sea, they disappeared into the long river of time like the waves of the sea.
Until just now, Duan Qing heard the name Haiwang Cape for the second time.
"Although the location given by the pirate before his death is not very credible, the name Cape Watch will never be deceiving. But if the record given by Gardevoir before is not wrong, that Nordrian dynasty
The legend... is just pure nonsense." Duan Qing thought quietly: "In comparison, I believe more in the history mentioned in the records. However, even the almighty ancients seem to have not found out where the Cape of the Sea is.
The ability of position..."
"Maybe I should go see Teacher Zhou Xue. They should be preparing to go treasure hunting these days." Duan Qing thought of this and shook his head: "If they search for a long time and finally find this library...
…”
That would be interesting.
Constantly comparing the intersection between the two rumors, Duan Qing pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth. The sound of the breeze that kept ringing in his ears seemed to echo again what Gardevoir said before he left: "Freedom."
The City of Freedom originally had an official library, but it was later eliminated like other useless organizations, so the current Black Magic House is not, strictly speaking, an official replacement for the City of Freedom..."
"The warlike people of Free City probably don't want to read to entertain themselves, right? On the contrary, we adventurers may be interested in some of the contents."
"Unfortunately, I am not a hospitable person, and as one of the owners of the Twelve Thrones, I have no obligation to provide free services to you people..."
"Really? This so-called Void Library... doesn't look like it's private. I seem to have seen a similar structure somewhere before..."
The sense of déjà vu was the feeling Duan Qing had when he first entered that space. It was a similar scene he had encountered when he visited the mountaintop library in Fenghua Town.
Ms. Rama, who met him at that time and whose name he only learned later, also introduced him to the structure of the dome building and explained the origin of the name "library".
This time, he did not step into the alien space easily. The image of the woman who looked very young but sounded very old was still remembered in Duan Qing's heart, but the simple and plain layout of the mountaintop hut was difficult to
It left a deep impression on him, otherwise he might be able to use these clues to find out the hidden connection between the two libraries. However, until the end just now, Duan Qing did not propose this to Gardevoir in person.
A little bit, because his subconscious told himself that this might be a big secret that caused another problem.
"But now that I think about it, even the appearance of these two cabins are very similar." Recalling the appearance of the black magic cabin, Duan Qing rubbed his chin: "Such a magical thing... can never be the same.
Coincidence, right? It’s a pity that the current Fenghua Town has probably fallen into the hands of the Restorationists. Otherwise, there might be a chance to go back and visit in the future to confirm this matter... huh? "
The sound of wind in the alley gradually disappeared, and Duan Qing's own footsteps gradually stopped. He lowered his head, and after a while, he slowly turned around and looked at a certain road that had blocked his way.
Black Shadow: "Oh, are you so impatient..."
His words suddenly stopped, because the light at this time was pretty good. Through the afterglow of the setting sun, Duan Qing could not find any ID or name on the other party's head: "Who are you...?"
The other party did not answer, but slowly pulled out his weapon. Amidst the same harsh sound of metal friction coming from behind, Duan Qing, who was leaning sideways against the wall, showed a wry smile and also pulled out his black dagger.
Come out: "Okay, okay..."
"I didn't expect that trouble would come to my door so soon..."
*****************************
"...You are already here? All of you?"
"..."
"I know... um... um... no, I won't go there just yet."
"..."
"I know what you want to say, but your plans have nothing to do with me in the first place... Yes, those previous plans have nothing to do with me, and they won't in the future."
"..."
"Winning second place is also my second place. It is the result of the joint efforts of Huanhai Kuangxing and I! Do you really believe the rumors you spread and think that you can defeat the second best person in the world by entering the finals?
?I told you Xu Liang...ah, I'm sorry."
"I lost my temper."
"..."
"It's okay. I came out to relax this time for this reason. Please don't worry about me. I believe that after this period of time... my condition will be better than before."
"..."
"Thank you, then..."
beep--
Looking at the flashing indicator light, the woman quietly put down the communication ball in her hand, then looked up at the ceiling, and fell on the bed behind her. The chaotic thoughts gradually dispersed as the tranquility surrounded them.
She closed her eyes quietly, and the smell that belonged to a certain man who had lived here for a long time penetrated the air and involuntarily invaded her sense of smell.
"Maybe I should clean up a few more days..."
Sitting up from the bed angrily, the woman combed her long black hair, then opened the door and walked into the small living room. The already familiar ceiling was shining with white lights, and on the table
The teacups were the same as before. The woman who checked everything carefully went to the next room to confirm, and then breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that the other party was still in the game: "
That's good……"
After crossing her arms and thinking for a while, the woman finally gave up on the idea of cooking by herself, and after a period of delay, she appeared again in the free city of the free world. The hustle and bustle in the tavern also began as the night fell.
It became louder and louder, mixed with the unique shouts and curses of the drinkers. The woman standing alone in the corner of the room frowned slightly, but the hand that just wanted to quit the game again was pressed by
The sound of someone suddenly opening the door scared me back: "... Just wait for me, I'll be there soon... Ah, it's Miss Xue."
"...What's wrong, Aniu?"
"Isn't Brother Qingshan here? This is what I am responsible for looking for. If he comes later, he will say that I, Liu Qingniu, have found it."
The young man with short hair said these words very quickly, and at the same time threw a package of things wrapped in a pile of paper in his hand on the wooden table, and then amidst the noise that was once again blocked to the periphery of the room, there was a bang
He closed the door and said, "Let's go! How dare you bully our brothers? I won't beat them to death..."
"well……"
Xue Ling Huan Bing, who didn't know whether she wanted to cry or laugh, sighed lightly, slowly climbed up from the ground in the corner, then held on to the hilt of her sword and walked to the side of the desk: "...
Forest Skin? Found it so quickly..."
Perhaps thinking of the inexplicable things that this small team was shouldering, the woman showed a smile, and involuntarily raised her right hand that put down the paper bag in front of her. The voice in the tavern seemed to be also
As the woman settled down, she became no longer noisy, and everything that happened around her before seemed to become less hateful. She quietly stared at the gloves surrounded by ice and snow on her hands, and then hugged them to her chest.
Before: "Huh..."
The noise in the tavern suddenly amplified, and then shrunk again as someone closed the door: "...What's wrong with you?"
"……You're back."
Putting down his hands, Xueling Huanbing raised his head: "You...this is?"
"We encountered a little trouble on the road."
Duan Qing, who was covered in scars, panted slightly, showed a relieved smile to Xue Ling Huan Bing, and then dragged himself to the other side of the wooden table: "It seems that because of the frequent investigations recently, he was
Someone with good intentions is targeting...what is this?"
"A Niu has already got the things, although I don't know what method he used." Xue Linghuan replied with a smile: "But he put down the things and left. It seems that something happened to his brother in the gang.
There was something going on, so I left in a hurry..."
"Yeah?"
After checking the item called Forest Skin over and over again, Duan Qing gasped and put it back to its original place, then covered his shoulders and sat on one of the wooden chairs with a grin on his face: "Okay.
, since the shadow mage said that, it would be wiser for us to try our best to complete her commission... Where are the others?"
"I... just got online too." Xue Ling Huan Bing lowered her head and replied, "I don't know the whereabouts of the others either..."
"Everyone has been quite busy recently, running around for materials and hiding here and there all day long..." Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "Let's just forget about talking and talking. It seems that I haven't seen that guy Ninglan for a long time.
, isn’t it because of me, the temporary leader, that I gave up my job early?”
"That's impossible, your maid... seems to listen to you the most." Having said this, Xue Ling Huan Bing once again returned to her usual cold expression: "Are you looking forward to her coming online to rub your legs and slap your back?
ah?"
"...When have you ever seen her do these things?" Duan Qing looked at the other party with squinting eyes: "Although she used to... well, although she could do anything, we never made any rude requests...
"
"Can you do anything?" Xue Ling Huan Bing's expression became even colder: "You... what have you done before?"
"Hey, hey, why are your thoughts so evil?" Duan Qing, who was full of pain, hurriedly raised his hands: "I just used the language of praise to praise our Ninglan casually, nothing else.
mean……"
"...It's your Ninglan."
"Okay, okay, this is my home, this is my home..."
Finally feeling a trace of killing intent receding, Duan Qing sighed and put down his raised hands, and then after a wordless silence, he quietly opened the formal topic: "Do you still remember the treasure?"
"...What? Are you still looking for that thing?"
"I'm not someone who likes to make trouble, but that treasure may have some connection with the current situation." Duan Qing said thoughtfully: "Considering what I promised you before... let's make preparations as soon as possible."
"...If you don't have any questions, then I don't have any objections either." Xue Ling Huan Bing glanced at the other party indifferently, and then lowered her head again: "Do you need to contact those players?"
"Well... we originally planned to take our own people there." Duan Qing said with a smile, "But since they are not here..."
"It's better to bring a few more helpers than just the two of us."
