"Hey, it's just you...are you two people?"
"Oops, it seems I've been discovered..."
"Hey, hey, don't run away! We don't mean any harm... We are from Lakala Province, not from the Restorationists!"
"...Ah? What province?"
As the two groups of people gradually approached, the shouts from both sides began to become clearer and clearer, and even when they were within a few meters, they evolved into normal greetings and questions. Duan Qinghuan, who was holding a large pile of goods,
Slowly put down the hand holding the black dagger, a puzzled look appeared on his face, but the other player facing them looked more relieved: "Thank God, I finally met a bunch of people who were willing to
You are greeting us normally...Hello, my name is Yangtze No. 7, and this is..."
"Wait, wait, wait." Duan Qing, who was still sitting on the snow, interrupted the other party with a dagger: "No introduction is needed, I have no interest in your names, and if I want to know, I just need to look up at you.
Just the top of your head...what are you here for?"
"We..." The player who came closer raised his hand again: "Um...well, today...ah hahaha...by the way, we are here to support the battle of Fenghua Town! I heard that
The coalition forces of the two countries have already reached the gates of Fenghua Town, so let’s see if there are any advantages we can get..."
"...Don't try to lie." Duan Qing, who was staring at the other party, shook his head: "No wonder so many people refuse to say hello to you. The way you looked just now was that you refused to tell the truth..."
"Uh... okay." The player named Yangtze River No. 7 finally raised his hands: "We are here... we want to inquire about something."
"A sudden change occurred on the top of Hulan Mountain two days ago." He asked cautiously: "You...do you know anything?"
Another group of guys came over to join in the fun...
Duan Qing sighed in his heart, and his eyes quickly turned around on the people behind him: "Well, we have only heard of this..."
"...Aren't you two locals?"
"We...well, we came from Liberty City. We have only been here a few days, so we don't know much about the nearby terrain..."
"Brother Mo is wrong to say that."
A voice suddenly came from behind the crowd, interrupting Duan Qing's words of trying to muddle through. A certain player figure suddenly emerged from the crowd and walked up to the surprised Duan Qing with a proud look on his face.
In front of me: "Although you did come from the Free City, you should be an authentic Xifeng County person, right? This is your hometown in the game, how can you say you don't understand it?"
"……you?"
Looking at the familiar face of Yun Meng, who had separated from him after the rapids, Duan Qing couldn't help but cry out: "Why are you here? Weren't you..."
"Shh!"
The magician, who still looked embarrassed, hurriedly stepped forward and covered Duan Qing's mouth with his hand. Then, after a burst of dry laughter, he turned back to the others and said, "I know this guy, he and his companions."
They are all locals, if you have anything to ask, just ask him."
"You two seem... very familiar?" The player named Yangtze River No. 7 looked back and forth for a while: "We picked this one up on the mountainside before. At that time, he was only one person, and he looked very...
Embarrassing..."
"Ah ha ha ha..." Yun Meng, who instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, hurriedly let out a few laughs: "That's... that was when I accidentally encountered an avalanche when I was adventuring alone, and fell from the top of the mountain.
If not for the help of Brother No. 7, I might have been buried under the snow long ago, and then my soul returned to the Free City..."
"Let me guess... the avalanche you encountered wasn't a few days ago, right?" Duan Qing squinted his eyes and asked, "The location was near the mountain road in the south?"
"You, how do you know?" Yunmeng widened her eyes: "Were you also there at that time?"
"There are thousands of reasons why I appeared there, so it won't be surprising." Duan Qing asked with squinting eyes: "But you... why would you go to that place?"
"It's me, me!" Yunmeng immediately emphasized twice, turning his back to the eyes of the others and constantly squeezing Duan Qing: "Isn't it normal for me to appear over there? I am an authentic person.
Adventurer! Just a small avalanche... Uh, no, no, although I don't know why such a calm place suddenly burst out with such powerful energy... Uh, no, no... I said, the two of us
Can we just stop exposing each other?"
"Haha." Duan Qing's standard sneer answered him: "I don't know who suddenly came out to join in the fun... Well, where do you want to be 'alone' now?"
"I am free now and can go wherever I want." Yunmeng immediately put her arms around her waist: "Of course... I wouldn't mind if I went to Tingsilin mentioned in the ballad to have a look.
…”
"Hmph, people like you just go there to send..." Duan Qing curled his lips disdainfully, and then refuted loudly before the people around him asked: "Having such beautiful dreams every day, how can you imagine that kind of place?"
Can you go there? Players have been looking for the Sky City for so long, and now it’s still just like a mirage..."
"Brother Mo...do you really know anything?"
A pair of hands suddenly stretched out interrupting Duan Qing's words, and at the same time, Yangtze River No. 7's eyes full of expectation appeared: "We...ah, this is not the place to talk. How about we talk somewhere else?"
"...Hey, did you misunderstand something? I just made an analogy with him, and didn't say that I really knew..."
"Is this Brother Mo's mission item? We brothers don't have any strengths. The only strength is our strength. You and your companion don't need to worry about it. We will help you move it right away..."
"Ah? Uh... um, thank you for your kindness, but these things are very heavy, so be careful..."
"Levitation!"
Before Duan Qing could finish speaking, a hooded mage from the opposing team suddenly raised his staff, and then surrounded the large area of cyan energy condensed directly below the packages, almost
Teammates who were also surrounded by cyan energy rushed forward and held the packages in their arms one by one. Duan Qing, who was looking at all this, withdrew his gaze with a blank expression, and then put it on the
On the pieces of wood that I had worked hard to repair for a long time: "It's so simple that I want to hit someone..."
"So technology is power, right?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was already laughing at the side, then walked up to him and said, "The required labor force has been put in place and the problem has been solved. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Such an enthusiastic savage is hard to come across now. No matter how you look at it, it feels wrong." Looking at the figures who were quickly leaving the front, Duan Qing sighed and waved his hand: "Hurry up and catch up, otherwise we will
Maybe he will become a fool who is exposed."
"Don't be so disbelieving, okay? After all, they are the team that rescued me." Yuemeng on the side immediately shouted dissatisfied: "I heard that the Lakala Province of the empire is an inaccessible place. How can I survive in that place?
The players coming down are very scary... Hey, don't leave me alone! Wait for me!"
The cold wind that was still blowing by then drowned the footsteps of several people, and also carried away the slightest words between them into the distance. The magician, whose face and body were extremely embarrassed, then struggled to catch up with Duan.
The footsteps of Qing and Xueling Huanbing slowly disappeared into the white line at the western end of the snowfield.
****************************
The baseless suspicion from Duan Qing did not take effect after all. The team that was suddenly formed halfway was able to continue like this. While the large number of teams dispersed most of the possible threats, it also allowed them to greet them later.
Mengzhu was shocked - when she learned that Duan Qing had returned to Xingfengquan, the little girl had already expressed her great dissatisfaction, but she didn't expect that when Duan Qing came to join them, the two people originally scheduled to meet were completely
There were more than a dozen people.
This also made the next plan that had already been written in the little girl's mind, together with the originally prepared rations, become even more stressful.
"It's difficult enough for us to feed so many people. You can find the extra food on your own! And... your making such a big move won't attract the enemies here, right?"
"The movement on the edge of Xifeng County has become so lively because of the Hulan Mountain incident. I wonder how you managed to remain undiscovered for so long." Duan Qing curled his lips helplessly: "As for having so many more mouths...
… If you think of them as labor force, isn’t that the end of it?”
"I don't care, I don't care, you are here to deal with so much mess anyway!" Mengzhu, who pulled Duan Qing aside, danced and said: "It was already annoying enough, but you actually brought a bunch of people here...
Sister Xue has been following you, right? Why didn’t she say a few words to you?"
"She has become a person waiting to be expelled. How can she still have the leisure to make irresponsible remarks to me?"
Having no choice but to answer this embarrassing question, Duan Qing turned to look at the temporary camp in the distance: "Have you found Kidd and the others?"
"We didn't find Kidd, but we found another group of troublemakers." Mengzhu's voice seemed to be referring to his recent tragic experience, and his voice became much lower: "I originally planned to go find you right after the escort.
As a result, we were only halfway through when someone came to our door..."
"Such a big movement didn't catch everyone?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Send your name, I want to see who is the master..."
"Not from the Restorationists."
Mengzhu waved his hand with an irritated expression. Mengzhu interrupted Duan Qing's words in a sharp voice, and then after a moment's pause, his expression became unnatural: "Yes, it's that guy..."
"That guy..." Duan Qing asked helplessly: "Who is it?"
"He is an old acquaintance of ours in Greenstone Village. You must know him..."
"...Old acquaintances in Green Stone Village? Do we have any old acquaintances in Green Stone Village?" Duan Qing's eyes widened slightly: "Aside from the old village chief and his wife and the blacksmith, do we have any acquaintances? Just
Even the little boy Benny was among those villagers before..."
"Yes, there is another person."
Seeing Duan Qing suddenly stop talking, the little girl curled her lips and shook the golden braid on the back of her head: "That... bad old man who likes to sing, he also suddenly appeared. Not only that, he also brought
A group of villagers from Greenstone Village..."
"With... a group of villagers?" Duan Qing asked in great surprise.
"The villagers said he saved them because he... he was a veteran."
Looking back at the place where the temporary camp was located, Mengzhu tilted his head and replied quietly: "At that time, he was holding a long sword that he got from somewhere, and his body was covered in blood and scars.
, if it weren’t for the messy beard and the voice that still likes to sing randomly, none of us would have recognized him..."
"So powerful?" Then Duan Qing's eyes turned in the same direction: "And why is he a veteran? Is Greenstone Village a suitable place for retirement?"
"Looking back now, the song that that bad old man sang when he was lying on the road seems to have something to do with the battlefield." Mengzhu squeezed the bar and recalled: "I just didn't expect... this guy
He actually escaped with a few people, and also successfully found us at that time..."
"...Where is he now?"
"Of course he's locked up!"
Ignoring Duan Qing's open mouth again, the little girl's expression immediately became angry: "Tian Tian only screams at the top of his lungs, and he actually wants to drink! Do we look so safe? Are we so tolerant?"
"...Okay, I understand what the trouble you are referring to is." Recalling the old man's tone-deaf roar like a broken gong, Duan Qing raised his head and sighed: "I'm just curious...Since
He still has a few moments left, how did you lock him up?"
"Of course it is... Oh, you will know if you go and see for yourself." The little girl with a depressed look then waved her hand and pointed towards a corner of the temporary camp not far away: "I've seen you even.
His old village chief didn't say a word for a long time, what else do we little adventurers have to say..."
"……All right."
His eyes fell on a temporarily built thatched house at the end of the direction Mengzhu pointed. Duan Qing said with interest: "I said it before when I was in Novice Village..."
"What I like to hear most are the stories about the old people."
