"Hello."
Some time later, in the center of Tanzania City, at a crowded street corner, figures belonging to Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing pushed open the door in front of them with the wooden sign of the Adventurers Association, and at the same time opened the door with the wooden sign of the Adventurers Association.
A sweet greeting came into his ears. The association hall, which seemed to be very simple and standard in decoration, was also covered up by the figures coming and going. At the same time, it was covered up by countless players who were rushing in and out.
With an attentive look in his eyes, Duan Qing, who remained calm on the surface, then let go of his hand that had been pushing the door, and at the same time responded in a low voice to an NPC who looked like a receptionist standing by the door and was in charge of reception: "You
good."
"Are you two adventurers? What kind of services do you need? If you need to issue a commission, please go to the second floor. If you need to accept a commission..."
"We just came here to take a look."
Waving his hands to reject the overflowing enthusiasm on his face, Duan Qing, who hid Xue Ling Huan Bing behind him, showed a smile to him: "Don't worry about us, let's just visit by ourselves first."
I don't know when she put on a thin cloak. The woman named Xue Ling Huan Bing was then officially pulled into the hall of the Adventurers Association by Duan Qing. The originally conspicuous white hair was also covered by the cloak.
The hood was covered up, and at the same time, her rather unhappy expression was covered up: "In the end, I still had to come in covertly..."
"After all, you are very famous now. Although you have become a weakling, your appearance has not changed much... Hey, can you be patient for a while? Even if I can explain it to those NPCs one by one, sooner or later the players will
I will notice you."
"...If I had known, I would have changed my ID." The woman holding the lower end of the cloak pouted her lips dissatisfiedly: "It was just because I was afraid that you wouldn't recognize me, so..."
"God knows you will chase me in this way. I have already planned to go somewhere else to hide my debt from now on... Hey, hey, don't bite, don't bite!"
Pushing the opponent's head that was biting on his arm aside, Duan Qing hurriedly interrupted the opponent's thoughts of continuing to complain: "I was wrong, I was wrong, it's all my fault."
"What do we do next?"
Nodding her head with satisfaction, Xue Ling Huan Bing grinded her teeth and slowly pulled out a smile: "Would you like to inquire about that place in front?"
"Well, it looks like there are quite a lot of people." Duan Qing, who was rubbing his arms, then turned his attention to the counter in front of him that was surrounded by a sea of people: "It should be the counter where you accept the entrustment and receive the task...
…Why, you haven’t seen it?”
"When I was at Wings of Freedom, I would always let my subordinates handle tasks."
"...Okay, then please wait here for a while, Miss."
After giving a slight salute to the other party, Duan Qing then pulled Xue Ling Huan Bing to a few notice boards on the side, and then followed the direction of the flow of people and slowly squeezed to the front of the counter.
.The hustle and bustle that has never stopped is now accompanied by players from all over the world, constantly appearing around Duan Qing. From time to time, there are also a few people who have conflicts who start to solve the problem on the spot.
With the sound of fighting, Duan Qing, who looked much weaker than them, used all his strength to pull on his gray robe. After a while, he led the big man to the front of the counter: "Well, please...
"
"...I told you that these are the only two B-level missions! If you don't want to take them, just make room for others!"
A loud shout then appeared in front of Duan Qing, interrupting his question and sending the figure of a player at the front of the team next to him flying away: "The next one
!”
"Uh, that..."
"Next! Next! Next... hmm? Are you next?"
Tightening his fist that he had just moved, a tall man in reception clothes standing on the other side of the counter then slowly cast his high gaze on Duan Qing's face: "A weak man
Magician? How did you squeeze into this place?"
"Why can't I squeeze into this place? I-"
"Okay, okay, I know what you greedy adventurers want to do."
Waving his hand vigorously, the burly association receptionist then moved his gaze from Duan Qing's body to his own hand: "Let me see... Well, there are not many E-level tasks left. Now there are only
The remaining tasks left behind are the collection of wolf skins entrusted by Old Man Yog and the entrustment of Romelia to find her missing puppy. This puppy is not easy to find. Someone witnessed it getting lost in the Kempero Canyon..."
"No, no, what I want to ask is-"
"What, you still want a D-level mission?"
The loud voice instantly drowned out Duan Qing's words. The big man looked at the face of the gray-robed magician in front of him with disdain: "Stop dreaming. I can see your strength at a glance. Your magic level is not even above
Level two, for a guy like you... it might be better for you to practice more on the Tanzanian plains."
"So I said I'm not here to take on the mission."
Duan Qing sighed helplessly, and finally maintained his patience: "I'm here to ask a few questions."
"……What?"
"There is a mission issued by a client named Gaoluo. The goal is to go to the Gemenan jungle to find an ancient relic and then deliver it to Lord Luxor."
Ignoring the strong man's bad attitude and the attention of the surrounding players, Duan Qing, with a mysterious face, leaned forward with a low voice: "I wonder if you have any relevant commission files here?"
"Gmenan Jungle? Luxor?" The expression on the strong man's face became a little more exaggerated: "Where do you think I am here? His bullshit golden palace? I want to bow down to him and give it to him.
Please take your gifts to No. Sambrierland Street and don't come here to harass me!"
"I'm not looking for him." Duan Qing blocked the spittle from the other party with his hand: "I just want to ask about the client's relevant information..."
"The Adventurers Association will not reveal the client's information easily, little guy."
As if he had heard some ridiculous joke, the big man laughed loudly and then looked at Duan Qing in front of him with an even fiercer gaze: "Looking at your appearance now... you must not be the recipient of this task, right?"
"Not then, but now..."
"I'll give you a piece of advice, don't have anything to do with that guy."
The huge head suddenly enlarged in front of Duan Qing, and the big man behind the counter stuffed a scroll that he was scolding just now directly into Duan Qing's arms: "I'll give you the task of collecting wolf skins, and then don't harass me again."
, otherwise...you will definitely be shattered to pieces."
"Next!"
The sound like a roar then echoed in every corner of the Adventurers Association hall, and was accompanied by the scene of Duan Qing being blown away by the inexplicable strong wind. He fell to the ground holding his head and rubbed it for a long time.
His chest rose up, but within his field of vision it was difficult to see the figure of the big man, which was obscured by the crowd of adventurers coming up again.
*************************
"It feels so good to see you deflated."
"Typical schadenfreude, naughty guy."
In the Adventurer Association Hall, in the rest area gradually occupied by the scattered players, Duan Qing, who was sitting on one of the benches, was beating his chest while looking far away at the still full counter area:
"If you don't want to tell me, just tell me. Why do you have to beat me out?"
"You're not the first one to be beaten out. Weren't there several victims that flew past us before and after?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who covered his forehead with a hood, lowered his head and pointed to another one just now.
The direction in which the player was slapped away: "It looks like the big guy is not in a good mood right now."
"Indeed, but...he should know something."
Stretching his body vigorously, Duan Qing exhaled the last breath of stagnant air on his chest: "His reaction is a little different, I can feel it."
"Is it the intuition of an experienced player again?"
Smiling tenderly and leaning forward, Xue Ling Huan Bing rested her head on Duan Qing's shoulder: "If you are really powerful, then why were you bullied like this in the end?"
"I respect the old and love the young." Duan Qing raised his nostrils to the sky with disdain: "Looking at his appearance, maybe he is already four...no, over fifty years old."
"Does this count as saying bad things about others behind their backs?" Xue Ling Huanbing's eyes kept wandering around Duan Qing's neck: "Have you ever said that to me before?"
"No way, I never speak ill of others behind their backs." Afraid of the other party's silver teeth falling on him again, Duan Qing hurriedly raised his palms: "And I have nothing to hide from you. I could before
I’ve told you everything I’ve told you…”
"Okay, let's continue the previous topic."
Sitting upright slightly, Xueling Huanbing moved his gaze from the other person's cheek to the other person's body: "The one named Kasha...you said you saved her?"
"You probably don't have much memory of the many details about that day's battle."
Looking up at the ceiling of the hall, Duan Qing's eyes became profound: "Actually... I don't remember much about that day. I just split the Terran Tower in half with one sword.
, just trapped in the space of the other world.”
"Is it... the world you described before?" Xue Ling Huan Bing asked doubtfully: "Why have I never been in it?"
"Don't ask me questions like this. I don't know what the free world system is doing." Duan Qing laughed helplessly: "I just found the core of soul sacrifice based on my understanding and guessing.
Then I found Maggie who had already disappeared into the surface world."
"And you saved her?"
"The process is far from simple."
Slowly exhaling a leisurely breath, Duan Qing recalled the description: "Black monsters, wild beasts, and unknown creatures that don't even have an outline... There is simply a world of extreme chaos, and it is changing...
The void storm is rising and raging everywhere. Perhaps because of geographical reasons, I can still hear the loud bells, and... By the way, there are also those robots, which should be used by the rulers of the other world.
Put down the armed men and thugs who are wreaking havoc on these monsters."
"The shape is just like the ones we met on the top of Falling Star Mountain before." After saying this, he gestured towards the sky in a certain direction in the distance: "Do you still remember?"
"Of course I remember." Xue Ling Huan Bing blinked her eyes: "So that means...that thing also ran out of the other world?"
"I can't guarantee this." Duan Qing shook his head: "Maybe it's just a prototype left over from ancient times, and then it was imitated and borrowed by some power in the void world."
"Why do you say that? Have you seen similar things elsewhere?"
"You've seen something similar, not long ago."
Quietly taking out a bottle of black magic potion from his arms, Duan Qing gestured towards the other party: "Do you remember?"
"Soul potion?" Xueling Huanbing, who gently touched the bottle of potion, whispered: "The person who killed Yolk?"
"It's not a human, it's a machine." Duan Qing corrected: "A law enforcer from another world."
"……I see."
Blinking his own eyes, the light in Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes became brighter and brighter: "That world is actually filled with so many novel things... I'm also a little interested."
"Trust me, you don't want to go there yourself."
Putting away the bottle of black potion that exuded mysterious light, Duan Qing then took Xueling Huanbing and started walking towards the gate of the Adventurers Association: "Instead of being interested in that kind of thing, you might as well practice honestly.
Your swordsmanship is better."
"But there has to be something to do, right? Are you going to do that wolf-killing mission you just received?"
"Don't mention what happened just now, okay? And we don't have an adventure group or guild at all now. Even if we complete this task, we can neither return it to the association nor improve any reputation or level..."
"Then let's establish an adventurers association first."
The person who answered this sentence was not Xue Ling Huan Bing, but the welcoming NPC who was still standing at the door and warmly greeting every adventurer. It seemed that he was accustomed to serving the public, answering questions and other similar things.
The woman wearing the same association uniform also turned her head at this time, looking at the two men and a woman close at hand with a gentle smile on her dress: "You seem to have been under Uncle Mu's hands before.
I suffered a little loss...hehe, but it doesn't matter."
"If you want an adventure group in the city, you can also go to the second floor." She stretched out her slender arms toward the wooden stairs next to her with a warm hospitality gesture: "Issuing commissions, establishing new groups, rating,
Large transactions……"
"That's the VIP area of the Adventurers Association." (To be continued)
