"Why are you so nervous, Mr. Qingshan? This situation should not be beyond your expectations, right?"
"...Probably because I didn't expect that we would fight all the famous guilds in the Free City."
"How can the players who can come here to participate in this grand event not be guys similar to us? Look at those people who are number two in the world, they are also looking at us eagerly..."
"Yes, yes, if we keep fighting like this... maybe it will be their turn next time."
The conversation like old friends unfolded so naturally in the center of the arena, as if the man in sunglasses who had just left the arena and Duan Qing were two partners who had not seen each other for many years. However, many other players, including Xu Yu Liushang, knew that
The president of Borderlands has just met Duan Qing for the first time: "So... you are now Eduin's people?"
"We have been around in Liberty City for a long time, but due to various reasons, we have never had the chance to join the upper class." The young president named Jack pointed behind him.
, answered somewhat calmly: "The benefits of being able to participate in the decision-making level are huge. Just look at the current two families, Jianghu and Wings of Freedom. Even Wizard, who disappears every day, is also a member of the Mage Council because of his relationship.
We have obtained a lot of game resources, so... in order to no longer lose at the starting line in the next UEFA Cup, we also began to look for a way to stand on the same stage, so when Eduan extended an olive branch to us, everyone
I happily agreed.”
"Are you guys cooperating on a temporary basis?" Duan Qing's eyes closed slightly.
"It's a little earlier than that, it can be traced back to the end of February." Jack replied with a smile: "Now that I think about it... that was exactly the time you arrived at this place."
"What a coincidence."
Putting on a rather helpless expression, Duan Qing sighed softly, but in his heart he had a deeper understanding of the consequences of the arrival of his group, and he seemed to feel the same way.
Walking to Duan Qing's side, he gently shook his long hair, and looked at the other person's eyes, but there was a bit of awe-inspiring chill: "Of course this is not a coincidence, but a move they have planned for a long time.
, otherwise...this guy probably won't tell any 'inside information'."
"Insider information?"
"You have already known about Tristan's challenge, right?" The blue-haired swordswoman said in a cold voice: "Before this, we also temporarily received Tristan's commission, and then put it together in a hurry.
A temporary team came out to attend this event. Tristan probably didn't tell anyone, and we certainly didn't tell anyone. So... how did you, who had nothing to do with this matter, know the news in advance?
Woolen cloth?"
"..."
"You have done a lot of work to get to the top."
Whispering words whispered: "You and Devil's Paradise are two large guilds that have settled in the Free City a long time ago, but compared to Devil's Paradise, you have much more scheming. The superficial peace and goodwill may be able to
You can deceive some young people who are meeting for the first time, but you cannot deceive us. For this grand event... your actions in private should be no less than anyone else, right?"
"What you said is wrong, Miss Liushang." Jack adjusted his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose: "We may know something about this throne war, but I can swear to God, our Borderlands
We didn’t do anything. We just came to this place to eat popcorn and shout 666 with the attitude of watching the fun. We don’t know anything about the things between you and those big guys..."
"That's nonsense! You don't know? If you don't know...why are you standing here again now?"
"Being loyal when entrusted by others is the foundation for the survival of a guild. Since Eduin, who hired us, has made such a request, we come down to warm up... I guess you won't blame us? We used to have nothing to do with it.
There is no enmity these days. We made friends with Mr. Qingshan before. Don’t think of us as your enemies just because we are about to meet in war..."
"Okay then, once the fight starts, you will just admit defeat... What about this proposal?"
"Hey, we are all adventurers who have accepted the commission. Why do we admit defeat instead of you? We don't care about rewards, but if this ruins the relationship with Eduin..."
"you!"
"Wait a moment."
As Duan Qing shouted in deep thought, the confrontation between the blue-haired woman and the young man in sunglasses also ended temporarily. However, Duan Qing, who was thinking about something, did not seem to let the other side go: "Since you all said so
Okay…then I’ll believe you.”
"Hey! Qingshan, you..."
"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Looking at Jack opposite, who was stroking his palms and praising him, Duan Qing continued to mutter: "Maybe they really didn't do anything, and they really didn't know about us, otherwise... when we walked into the City Lord's Mansion together before,
, this guy shouldn’t reveal that information to us with a ‘I’m awesome’ look, but just pretend he doesn’t know anything.”
"They only knew about Bart's plan to challenge the kings, but they didn't know that we were the helpers that Bart had hired." Duan Qing said in a low voice: "This is why their 'acting skills' at that time were so realistic."
"You want to say...they have undercover agents on Tristan's side? Or something less core?"
"The question is not how they knew it, but what they wanted to do next."
Looking at the other party's face that gradually lost its smile, Duan Qing's lips twitched slightly: "Why did they know Tristan's plan, but didn't choose to expose it? Are they really indifferent, or is the development of the incident just right?
What are their intentions?"
"..."
"You haven't done anything, but sometimes you can still take action."
Duan Qing looked at Jack's face: "Are you one of the traitors?"
"……Hey."
The young man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of naturally malicious eyes: "Sorry, I can't say more. I want to know what happened..."
"After we finish fighting, I can break it down for you."
"...Although I know that you still won't say anything, the fight that should be fought must still be fought." Duan Qing retreated back and put on a posture of accepting the challenge: "It's easy to deal with enemies like you.
, just destroy everything you want to do."
"I've heard about the name for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to ask for advice." Jack tilted his head and gestured to his teammates who were gearing up behind him: "We have a larger number of people here. I wonder how many people Mr. Qingshan plans to recruit?"
"I don't need teammates." Duan Qing replied in a deep voice: "As long as I am alone..."
"Just me alone is enough."
The silver-grey gauntlet suddenly blocked Duan Qing's face, and at the same time, there was the cold voice of Whispering Liushang: "You should go back and rest first, I will deal with these guys by myself."
"Hey, hey, why are you..."
"I've been playing for so long and I haven't even officially taken the court yet."
He turned around and put on an elegant smile, murmuring and waving to Duan Qing: "You have even sent that girl Xueling Huanbing here twice, can't you take care of the mood of another female player?
?”
"Uh... I didn't choose her the first time. Why are you so jealous for no reason..."
Muttering such words in his mouth, Duan Qing still involuntarily took two steps back, and ignored his murmurings and drew out the long sword at his waist, displaying a fierce fighting spirit that was completely inconsistent with elegance.
In front of the local team, he looked at Sansheng Fish Pond and Shadow Fang behind him. Jack, who looked quite handsome, also calmly pulled out his weapon, but a soaring fire was the first to break through the tense atmosphere.
It broke out in the arena under the gloomy sky: "If you don't let me regain my sense of presence..."
"These clowns might forget my former name!"
The hot breath turned into a gorgeous stream of light, completely wrapping the long sword in Xu Yu Liushang's hand. Then, as the blue-haired female swordsman turned and waved, it intertwined into red lotuses, and the five swords were not far away.
The opponents seemed to have made their own preparations, and they dispersed around as the lotuses bloomed early. Among them, the handsome boy Jack, who was at the front, also raised his sword and entangled with the gorgeous flaming sword: "This is the auction.
That last flame? It’s really powerful, but..."
"How could I, who also participated in that auction, not be wary of your weapon?"
Crash--
As Jack's voice fell, a stream of water from the Sansheng fish pond crossed the area where the two people were fighting. Then, under the control of the magician, the flow went upstream, forming an artificially controlled fountain, which continued to fall.
The raindrops became colder against the backdrop of the gloomy sky. Even the cold wind blowing became colder with the participation of magic water drops. The flaming sword affected by this power was originally difficult to approach.
The heat also began to become smaller and smaller: "This is..."
"Being too enthusiastic...is sometimes a sin."
A sword split open the murmuring figure, and handsome Jack replied with a smile: "So... we took it upon ourselves to cool you down."
"Hmph, the fire element on the flames is a self-generated magic effect. How can it be extinguished by just a jet of water..."
"We don't mean to extinguish it, we just want to weaken its flame effect." Handsome Jack waved the long sword in his hand: "In this way..."
"The strength of this legendary weapon has dropped a lot!"
He sneered and rushed towards the direction of Xu Yuliu's cup again, but the sword in his hand suddenly emitted an icy blue cold light and clashed with the gorgeous flames of Xu Yuliu's cup again. The two powers of water and fire clashed between them.
The people were canceling each other out, making a sizzling sound like steam, and the blue-haired woman, whose face was getting colder, her eyes also fell on the Sansheng Fish Pond not far away who had just put down her hands: "This is...
With magic?"
"Frost enchantment can achieve the same level of magical additional effects as your Huaryan." Jack, who was confronting her, smiled and replied: "It's a pity that the magicians nowadays are busy researching more powerful large-scale magic. They have already
Not many people focus on these practical auxiliary spells..."
"There is no difference in strength. Don't you Cruhid often shout this?" He took a step forward and held the hilt of the long sword stuck in the middle with his backhand: "There is no weak strength...
…”
"It's just using the wrong technique."
The huge round sword cut through the air with Jack's backhand sword, cutting the hot flames into two halves, and then with the arc-shaped icy sword light, it slashed diagonally across the head of Xu Yu Liushang's head.
, the ice-cold air forcibly connected by the sword energy then condensed into a flat plane and spread around the fire cloud along the original direction. Jack, who had gained the temporary advantage, had no intention of giving up, and followed closely.
A sword once again cut out a new piece of blue light: "Secret Sword——"
"Splitting Sky Slash!"
One after another sword light continuously passed through the center of the battlefield, completely splitting the flame breath that was originally gathered together into pieces, and the cold blue light that was originally condensed on Jack's sword also followed his unparalleled rapid swing.
It slashed into the air and scattered into a series of intersecting cracks. The blue-haired woman who seemed to be suppressed also continued to retreat along with these intertwined cracks. The long sword in her hand also temporarily became defensive, until Jack because of
When she temporarily stopped due to physical limitations, her retreating movement stopped: "An attack of this level is not enough..."
The sword lights that appeared on the left and right sides interrupted what she wanted to say. They were the other two Borderlands members who had been ambushing nearby waiting for an opportunity to pounce on the attack. Lan was knocked to the ground by these two sneak attacks.
The hair-haired woman, the first thing that sounded in her ears was the ridicule of the handsome boy Jack: "It seems that your name is just famous in the field of magic. As a swordsman, your skills and acuity are still far behind... I regret it now."
It’s not too late, do you want to call your teammates?”
"To deal with guys of your caliber, we don't need any reinforcements." Xu Yu Liuliu, who was half kneeling on the ground, swung his long sword, and the flames on the sword's edge burned again: "The duel has just begun."
"Oh? You call it a duel?" Jack gestured to the surroundings: "I'm not bragging... Even if the five of us take turns consuming your energy, we will definitely win in the end."
"Five people have the advantages of five people, and naturally they also have the disadvantages of five people."
His eyebrows darkened slightly, and he raised his sword again and stood up: "There is no way to solve this situation... there is no way."
"Oh? It's really surprising." Handsome guy Jack clapped his hands and exclaimed: "Tell me about it so we can improve it?"
"Rather than talking nonsense like you, I prefer to use a direct approach."
As these words appeared, the blue-haired woman suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, then passed Jack's side at an unimaginable speed and rushed to the magician behind him: "As long as you eliminate it,
Got this guy..."
"You, a pseudo-demon swordsman, shouldn't be able to do anything about it, right?"
"snort……"
Amidst the sneer coming from his ears, Shadow Fang, who had been protecting Sansheng Fish Pond, stepped forward, and then used the black armor on his body to block Xuyu Liushang's quick thrust.
The long colored hair then drew a jumping trajectory in the air, and the brilliance flowing through the whispers knocked the black-armored warrior straight away, and then turned around suddenly to face the handsome Jack who came from behind and laughed loudly.
Approaching direction: "You are so naive, Miss Liuzhang! You are..."
"Throw yourself into a trap!"
The whistle of the sword that was enough to split the space sounded again, and it slashed down towards Xu Yuliu's chest, and then with another loud metal collision, it struck a small round shield that suddenly appeared in mid-air.
clang!
