"Is there any latest trend?"
"No, but...the lack of movement is actually the biggest movement."
"Well, you have a point."
On the trade road south of Fenghua Town, another convoy from Greenstone Village appeared. After a few days of journey, they were very close to Fenghua Town. However, if there was no obstacle, they should have returned earlier.
here.
"Come to think of it, why are there such things as bandits in such a remote place? Can they steal any rich people and valuable things?"
"Maybe this is why their strength is so weak." The person who answered him was holding a book in his hand, but looking at him, it seemed that his attention was not on the book in his hand: "Just two moves will do it."
The goods that were put to death..."
"Don't look at Brother Meng, you can't understand!" The rough voice from before said: "I have always believed that studying everything in this world is an act of asking for discomfort. If you can understand
Understand, what are you still doing here? Hurry up and become a great magician!"
"So why do you think I can't understand..."
"Of course you don't understand. These are all theories designed in the game. Do you understand what they are designed to do? They are just like an imaginary world. They are imaginary things." The rough voice gradually became louder, and then
He calmed down again: "Instead of focusing on these nihilistic things, we should think more about the problems in front of us."
"Haven't those things been discussed before?" The man before put down the book helplessly and looked at the sturdy red figure opposite: "I have also gone through the corresponding methods with you, you just have to do it
, nothing will go wrong..."
"But I always feel that something will go wrong, just like when we went to Greenstone Village before and didn't encounter those bandits..."
"Well, your point makes sense." The man said: "I will take these factors into consideration, but judging from the current situation, these people..." He waved to the rear of the motorcade, seeming to indicate
What he meant: "It shouldn't cause any trouble."
"Also, I don't look at these things to really study the magical laws of this world, but... to save time."
He picked up the book again, but did not open it.
The person on the opposite side was speechless because he also felt something abnormal - their speed was slowing down.
The convoy gradually stopped. The two men took out their weapons in unison and got ready to fight, but after a while, nothing happened.
The driver in front did not warn them, and the imaginary battle notice did not come. The two people looked at each other on alert. After a while, the sturdy man in red robe said: "
This place is so close to Fenghua Town, and those bandits will still appear..."
"Mr. Fushenglumeng, are you here?"
A voice calling suddenly sounded outside the carriage. The two people looked at each other, wondering what happened. But the next moment, the gentle voice belonging to the man in black replied: "I am, please...what happened?"
"Captain Paz asked me to come here and tell you." The person outside the car seemed to be a member of the convoy's escort team, and now he ran over to send a message: "There is a person blocking the way in front of you. He is... looking for you."
of."
"Oh?" Hearing this, the man walked out of the carriage. He first covered his eyes with his hands, as if he was not used to the bright sunshine in the morning, and then looked at the guard of the convoy again: "Someone is looking for me? This place? His name is
what name?"
"He doesn't have his own name, but he...had an account not long ago, and he came to settle it."
*********************
"Straighten your backs, guys, you are the people of Fenghua Town, you represent the power of Fenghua Town! Neither the bandits nor the empire in the north are your opponents! Sharp weapons and heavy
The armor you wear is not your most reliable reliance. Your greatest reliance is the body you are exercising now!"
This is a square at the foot of Fenghua Town. Many people are running and jumping in this square, practicing waving, and some are shirtless and fighting with each other with bare hands. A bald man stands on the steps at the edge of the square, talking to each other from time to time.
The people in the square were shouting words. Although the sound was not enough to spread throughout the square, looking at the man's movements and momentum, it seemed as if he wanted to shout these words to the entire Fenghua Town.
Passers-by passed by from time to time around the square farther away. Some people seemed to have become accustomed to such scenes, so they left after a few glances. Others were attracted by this impressive group training scene and stopped to watch.
Among them were some people dressed as players, pointing at the people on the field.
"Those people over there seem to be wearing the uniforms of the Magic Council. Are they members of the Magic Council?"
"Will the members of the Mages Council also participate in this kind of training?"
"Yes, and they have been here for several days. Although I don't know if they are the same people these days. They are too far away to see clearly..."
"What about those over there? Their equipment is very good. Look at those armors...Tsk, tsk, tsk, just give me one."
"It's a nice thought, they are city guards."
"It turns out they are guards. No wonder they are so powerful. We can't defeat them..."
"A few days ago, some people from the guild made trouble on Huawu Street, and then they were beaten out by these people. After such a long time, there are still some people who do not care about life and death, thinking that those NPCs are easy to bully..."
"But it's not a problem if this continues. Do we players have to keep bowing in front of these NPCs..."
"Sooner or later, you will be able to fight. When everyone's level is higher and the equipment is better..."
"But it doesn't matter, let's maintain order. Otherwise, if weak chickens like us are bullied, where can we deal with it... And I have never heard of aborigines in the free world bullying others. Most of them are players who can't think of it.
, If you want to mess with people...if you want me, they deserve it."
The topic goes further and further, from the south of the sky to the north of the sea - the chat between players can always include everything they see and listen to, from the training scene in front of them to the war between the empire and the principality.
Not enough. However, those with sharp eyes can still notice something different from the lively scene today.
"Hey, look over there...are those players?"
"Huh? It seems like it's really..."
“Can players also participate in this spring training?”
"So powerful? How did they get in?"
"I want to go in and train too! Is there any benefit..."
"Go and find out who they are and how they got in..."
"Go and inform the president..."
Duan Qing and others, who were gradually discovered by the bright-eyed crowd, had not yet noticed the commotion they were about to cause. They sat in a corner of the square, chatting idly with some people. Duan Qing and Meng
Zhu was sitting together, smiling at the shirtless young man who was showing off his muscles to some of Kidd's men in high spirits.
"Phew! Look, my move is called Sweeping Thousands of Troops! As long as you use your full strength, you can knock away anyone standing in front of you..."
Xiao Hongchen waved his axe, then banged it on the ground, bragging to the people in front of him about moves that the system in the free world didn't recognize at all, but in the real world they called rotten moves. But the person standing in front of him
However, the young members of the escort were so frightened by the aggressive ax just now that they screamed in surprise. It seemed that they had been successfully frightened.
"These members of Kidd seem to be very young..."
"It sounds like they are new recruits."
"Well, their current situation...is it already so miserable?"
An increasingly younger guard team may be able to bring some youthful vitality to this place, but for these people who often worry about life and death, this trend... but reveals more problems.
More young blood in this town are going to the battlefield, or to death - the principalities at war with the empire may be doing the same thing in every corner of their own country.
"Forget it, they maybe... don't need to risk their lives." Duan Qing sighed, and then looked in the direction of the smiling uncle on the other side.
As a shield bearer, the Smiling Butcher seems to be more popular with veterans, because the usual task of the escort is to guard, so those veterans who have been there for a while and have some battlefield experience use shields.
It is the best weapon when guarding.
"Don't let the shield stick too close to you, otherwise you will be powerless. You must know that blindly using the shield to block the opponent's attack is a stupid behavior, and the attack may not only come from the front of you, but may also be deflected.
to your sides, or even your back, or your lower body, so it's important to keep your arms flexible..."
The usually gentle and gentle uncle was explaining his experience in front of a group of soldiers. From time to time, he picked up his shield and gestured to the crowd. His focused expression showed no sign of his usual smile.
"Uncle looks...so handsome..."
"So you girls..." Duan Qing drooped his eyelids: "You just like these vicissitudes of life, don't you?"
"He is really handsome, what's wrong?" The girl stood there with her hands on her hips, looking very happy: "And such a powerful uncle is now a member of our adventure group, shouldn't you be proud?"
"Well, I have to remind you..." Duan Qing shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Uncle Smile is a real uncle."
"Isn't this nonsense?" The tone of the other party's words made the girl a little dissatisfied: "Everyone can see..."
"I am, he is a very old uncle, at least...forty years old..."
"Ah? You can see this too?" Mengzhu asked in shock: "You are still playing games in your forties, is it true?"
"I've seen people in their fifties who are still playing professionally." Duan Qing curled his lips and said, "What a surprise. Qi Jiang, who is currently playing for the Sword of Justice, is probably already forty-six years old. Isn't this what he can do?
Is it good..."
The two chatted casually while waiting for Kidd's notification - of course they didn't come here to watch the show for nothing. After a while, when everyone is almost warmed up, they will start one-on-one training, and maybe even
They need to fight as a team. And this is the real reason why they were invited here.
To put it simply, it is to be a sparring partner.
At a certain moment, the movement on the field changed - everyone had been training for a while and was now about to take a break. The bald captain was also free, so he began to patrol around and communicate with several other forces who were invited to be sparring partners.
After a while, he expressed his thanks and talked about his desire to work together in the future. When he came to Duan Qing's side, Bald Kid's serious expression relaxed.
"You are finally here, a few...well, members of the Adventurers Association."
"Well, we are extremely short of manpower, you should know..."
"Of course, so I originally thought that none of you would come, hahaha... But then we meet again, isn't it very fateful?"
The bald man laughed and talked to Duan Qing. He changed his previous seriousness and his familiar look once again attracted the attention of the people around him, especially the players who had been observing secretly. They wrote this down.
.
"Seeing how miserable you are, of course we have to come over to support you." Duan Qing replied: "But after we arrived, we found that you are not short of people at all. It seems that we won't need it next time."
"That's not possible." Kidd chuckled and said: "Spring training is a long-standing tradition in Fenghua Town, and every time we do something like this, we must invite others over. After all... actual combat is
The most practical experience is that there is no sense in running back and forth all the time."
"You...there are also people from the Mage Association and the Warriors' House." He pointed to the front, where several groups of people were sitting around them clearly: "You have all experienced hundreds of battles, and you often come and go.
People in various dangerous areas, with your actual combat experience, you only need to casually share it with the few guys under me, and they will..."
"There will be fewer deaths." He turned around and looked at Duan Qingdao.
"Humph, you are really a responsible boss." Duan Qing sighed.
"The scenery of Fenghua Town is very beautiful, and the people here also like it very much. Judging from the eyes of those outsiders, they must also have a good impression of this place." Kidd turned around again, and Duan Qing noticed that what he said
Facing the low mountain in Fenghua Town: "So the people here want to protect this place. Even if it is for... Javier's legacy, they will do their best."
"Javier...who is it?"
"You don't know? Oh, by the way, you are an outsider too..." Kidd sighed, and then pointed to the mountain: "You can probably figure it out if you go there and take a look."
"There is a statue of him there," Kidd said.
The sound of running came from behind. The two looked back and saw a member wearing a guard uniform running from behind. Judging from his sweating appearance, it was obvious that he had been running for a long time. But this made Duan Qing
He was even more confused because he didn't seem to have seen this person in Kidd's team before.
"Captain Kidd." Sure enough, the man's next report answered Duan Qing's doubts.
"Captain Paz asked me to... tell you." He took a few breaths and finally relieved himself from the fatigue of strenuous exercise: "They have encountered some troubles and want to ask you to bring someone over...
..take a look.”
