"I'm really sorry for letting you..."
"It's okay, at least we survived. But...if there is a next time, I hope you can come here early."
After understanding the safety of the merchants, the bald captain directed his other men to collect the convoy and clear the losses, while greeting the other living people. Except for a few non-combatants, the rest
They are adventurers like Duan Qing.
The convoy's losses were not significant. The few boxes that were smashed during the battle were the only losses in this short battle. Apart from that, the situation ahead was not very bad when the battle broke out. Duan Qing and others
The loud shouts of death that I heard were just an illusion created by the bandits.
"This is their usual move. They will use this method more or less every time they go out. The purpose is to create holes in our defense line and then take away a few pieces of meat - those properties can make them have the few
The population can survive for a while longer." The guard captain explained to Duan Qing while loading the remaining goods into the car.
"If their numbers are so small, why..."
"Because we have fewer people." The bald man smiled bitterly: "The lords of Xifeng County have not paid much attention to the southeast area, and the military forces assigned here are relatively small. Even the few of us...
...." He pointed to the busy men, one of whom was Duan Qing's coachman before: "I also had to temporarily serve as a coachman, porter, and temporary vendor..."
"If there were enough manpower, things like today wouldn't have happened...or they wouldn't have happened a long time ago." Kidd, with his hands on his hips, looked at the road in front of the motorcade, exuding a melancholy feeling.
, but such an expression made by a powerful and fully armed captain really made others feel disobedient.
"These bandits...have you encountered them often before?"
"Yes." Kiddou said: "Some gangsters, criminals, and idle gangsters nearby are the main force of these people. You can even find them in some towns, but in those places, you can't recognize them.
The people are the bandits who once robbed people on the road."
"So... rampant? Won't the people in the principality care?" Duan Qing asked in shock.
"Of course they... won't care." Kidd finished this sentence and glanced at Duan Qing, as if he was hesitant to speak. Finally, he patted his shoulder and whispered: "
The principality is such a country, and the local power in each region is different. As long as it is beneficial, someone will do it. As for those bandits, if they can survive here, they naturally have a reason to survive. You just...
..”
"Just think of it as the unique customs and customs of Xifeng County." Kidd took back his hand with a serious look on his face.
"This is really... a very unique custom." Duan Qing laughed: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Oh, in a way, it's not hard." When it came to the battle, the bald man became obviously excited: "Without those people, it would still be difficult for me to train these guards!"
He waved his hand forward and pointed at the guards who were about to finish loading: "I remember when I first brought them out of the town, they were so scared when they saw the bandits that they couldn't pick up the knife.
Look now..."
As if remembering the battle just now, Kidd retracted his hand with some embarrassment: "Ahem, in short, they are much stronger than before. Now I think those bandits are too weak, so I can't bring in a few more people to teach them."
Let me show those people what a real warrior is, hahahaha..."
"One of our adventurers just ran to the front and hasn't come back yet..." Mengzhu ran from behind and interrupted Kidd's laughter: "Have you seen the bald man?"
Pass him?"
Kidd didn't care about the title of the bald man, because the girl's question obviously hit something hard to say: "Uh, that reckless guy..."
He scratched his cheek with his fingers: "I just wanted to rush forward to fight, but I didn't hold him back, so I was stabbed by the bandit leader..."
Pfft... Duan Qing quickly turned his head and held back the laughter that almost burst out of his mouth - "Why haven't I seen anyone for a long time? It turns out that I was hacked to death by someone."
As long as you hold on for a while, the battle will be over. You have to go to the front to die...
"Ah..." Mengzhu stood there stunned for a long time before she understood the meaning of Kidd's words. Her big eyes blinked, looking at a loss, and finally looked at Duan
Qing, the latter put on an indifferent face.
"Why, have you never seen a dead person? Just now a guard fell in front of us. Did you forget it so quickly..."
"That, that's different..." The girl danced for a while, then lowered her head slightly: "Okay..."
"Hahahaha! Fearless of life and death, you look like a qualified adventurer!" Kidd gave Duan Qing a thumbs up, then walked away with a big smile: "Sure enough, he is the person Val likes...
"
"I like you too!"
I don't want to be favored by you... Looking at the shining armor back, Duan Qing curled his lips, and then walked away following the greetings from behind - after being fully equipped, the convoy was about to leave again.
*****************
Although they did not kill any bandits, Duan Qing and others still gained some experience. It seems that these similar events are also an indispensable adventure experience for players in the Free Continent, just like Duan Qing and
The same thing happened to Mengzhu in the Emerald Forest. Although they didn't gain anything materially in the end, the experience and novelty they gained were extremely valuable.
Those things alone can be used for half a year in the future.
However, after level 20, it becomes more difficult to upgrade. Players need to start from now on and gradually learn to use the existing resources at hand to arrange the experience within their capabilities in a reasonable manner. It is best to make full use of the adventure group.
Commissions or tasks received face-to-face - this is the most efficient way to upgrade summarized by free world players who have gone through various practical tests.
Well, it is the most efficient method currently available, and it is better than searching for monsters and killing them all over the world.
Looking at his character attribute panel, Duan Qing frowned, not knowing what he was thinking. The previous battle with Xueling Huanbing in the forest forced him to use up the free attributes he had been keeping.
, all the extra points were added to strength. Later, in order to be able to use Phil's dagger, he had to add all the remaining free points to agility. So now that he is already at level 20, he has no more leftovers.
There is nothing left, and the possibility of future development directions has been exhausted. This is inconsistent with his usual habits and style.
But what he is currently thinking about is another issue.
[Chick cut: A powerful upward strike that can break the opponent's defense. 】
[Power: 18o%]
[Skill requirements: Strength 1o, melee weapons.]
This was the skill that the system prompted him to learn when he was repelling the bandit who broke into the gap. He put the description of this skill together with the previous skill descriptions, thought about it carefully for a while, and found many of them.
The problem.
Skills...are actually in demand? Are they also linked to attribute values? Are the previous ones from Hearts of Iron really correct? Picking and ordinary slashing both kill people, what is the difference? Also,
Almost all of these skills require melee weapons, so what skills can be learned with other weapons? If I take a staff, it is possible to learn spells? By the way, I seem to have seen bows and arrows in the previous battle, so in the free world, how can
There is no such thing as a ranged weapon?
When I checked the relevant information before, I felt something was wrong. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen anyone playing a long-range profession like an archer in the free world...
Perhaps because he knew that the uncle sitting aside seemed to be having a headache, Mengzhu did not bother him. Ever since he learned that Baili Duyou had died and returned, most of the other surviving players had fallen into silence.
In the middle, the smiling butcher uncle sat motionless in his seat, as if no one around him existed. Perhaps due to infection, the lively girl began to talk less, until the second day
In the morning, when we were about to arrive at our destination, this atmosphere began to change.
Looking at the surrounding buildings and green fields, the people sitting in the carriage began to get ready to move. Mengzhu lay on the edge of the carriage, looking at it again and pulling Duan Qing's clothes: "Look, uncle, outside
..."
"Oh, I know, isn't it just a town..."
"No, this town is very beautiful!"
"No matter how beautiful you are, can you be as beautiful as Finadas..."
"Ah? Where is Finadas? Is there such a place on the Free Continent..."
"..."
Duan Qing didn't answer because he knew that he had made a mistake.
Finadas was the capital of the elf forces in a game three years ago. Because the game used a completely exaggerated fantasy concept, the entire elf city was filled with various beautiful designs that lacked scientific basis. Therefore, after shaping it into
While it is the most stunningly beautiful city in the entire game, that city has also become one of the most beautiful cities in the history of virtual games.
But that was three years ago, and the girl in front of me has probably never heard of it...
"Your uncle, I am a former professional player who has seen the world, so nothing can scare me." In order to change the subject, Duan Qing simply and generously used the uncle title commonly used by Mengzhu: "No matter whether it is beautiful or ugly.
, thrilling or exciting..."
He stretched his head to look at the front of the car, then retracted: "No matter what, as long as you see more..."
"Um......"
He stuck his head out again: "This town..."
"It seems pretty good too."
In front of the line of sight, there is still a dirt road. The earthy color extends straight forward, and then gradually evolves into a slate ground somewhere. Just in front of the convoy, the gray color belonging to the stone gradually spreads, then rises, and evolves.
It became the surface of a town with an ancient style.
Then this picture kept getting higher and higher, and finally turned into a mountain city, which was reflected in Duan Qing's mind.
The gray slate turns cyan, green, red... Houses built of various stones stand on the surface of the hillside. Between those houses, there seem to be various unknown trees planted.
Among them. Although the species and characteristics of these trees are not known, at this moment, as Duan Qing knows, these trees are growing vigorously in the coming summer.
Therefore, the big flying catkins followed the mountain wind and flew up from the mountain city over there, then fell down below and onto the dirt road. Some even crossed Duan Qing's head and flew farther into the sky.
Duan Qing couldn't identify what these flying catkins flying in the air were. They might be petals, they might be thin leaves, or they might be real flocs. But in any case, they are now grouped together,
It forms a never-ending rain of flowers all over the sky, bringing the natural fragrance and beauty to everyone.
The noisy voices gradually became clearer to Duan Qing's ears. As the motorcade approached, the streets in the town became clearly visible. They were all layers of streets surrounding the hillside. Those were like terraced fields.
The structure also made the pedestrians walking on the street clear. Duan Qing could even cross this far distance and see some pedestrians stopping on the higher streets, holding on to the railings on the street, looking at the approaching convoy below the city.
.
Flowers are dancing in the wind, looking at each other while leaning on the railing - the intertwining of man and nature tells the characteristics of this town to the travelers who come here.
"Huh..." Duan Qing couldn't help but take a breath of fresh air, and then retracted his gaze. Unexpectedly, he heard the girl's proud voice: "Look, look, I didn't lie to you."
Bar."
She lay down next to the car again: "It's such a beautiful place..."
The speed of the convoy slowly slowed down and finally stopped. The coachman in front, who was also a member of the escort team, jumped off the carriage and explained to the passengers in the car: The caravan was being inspected by the guards at the city gate ahead.
Let them wait for a while.
Several players jumped off the carriage and stretched their numb muscles. The smiling butcher held his shield with both hands and stood aside to stretch his sore waist. He looked at the town ahead and showed a smile.
"Thank you." Duan Qing's voice sounded in his ears: "The previous battle..."
"No need." The bearded uncle interrupted Duan Qing: "It should be done. Even if it is to save my own life, I will do my best."
"Uncle is very strong." Duan Qing didn't mind the uncle's silence along the way. In fact, he was concerned about other things: "Have you ever played a game like virtual reality before?"
"Oh, this..." The uncle somewhat understood what the other party meant, and he chuckled: "When you come to this new world, you need to adapt to it for a while, and..."
"I have an appointment with someone. Let's meet in the town ahead." The smiling butcher said.
"That's it..." Duan Qing showed a regretful expression: "Then... let's see you again in the future..."
"Yeah, see you by chance."
After a brief exchange, everyone was ready to get in the car and enter the town - according to Kidd's explanation before, it would be better for them to enter in the car. The identity of the visitor to Greenstone Village can be exempted from the identity.
censorship troubles.
Before Duan Qing got on the bus, he heard the commotion ahead. The next moment, someone shouted from the city gate.
That should be the voice of a certain city gate guard. The voice passed through the sky and came to their ears.
"Travellers from Greenstone Village! Please take your luggage! After entering the town, please go to the mayor to register as soon as possible! Other matters needing attention, the registration office will have detailed instructions! Then...
.”
"Welcome to Fenghua Town!"
Amidst the shouts, the convoy slowly started.
