"I seem to have arrived at just the right time."
"It's probably because you are quite famous. I don't think either of them would dare to offend you..."
"I haven't seen you for two days, and your complexion seems to have improved a lot."
"Thank you for the compliment...Ah, by the way, I'm treating you to a treat. Would you like a drink?"
Like a scavenger who separated the crowd, Wu Liushang, who slightly brushed away his long blue hair, walked up to Duan Qing with a mature and charming smile, pushing all the people around him aside with his momentum and sight.
In the inadvertent circulation, it suddenly landed on the chest of the gray robe worn by Duan Qing: "This is... the emblem of the adventure group?"
"That's right, we formed an adventure group."
As if declaring his sovereignty, Xueling Huanbing on the side stretched out his hand and pulled Duan Qing's shoulder: "We are members of the same guild now."
"..."
A slight uneasiness flashed across his face, and he sat down at the bar seat opposite Duan Qing: "Where's the logo that looks very good... Where's the name?"
"Qingling."
Duan Qing made a few deliberate coughs and cleared his throat and replied in a low voice: "Qingling Adventure Group - how do you feel about this name?"
"……Good to hear."
The eyes moved back and forth between the two people's faces for a long time, and the woman named Xu Yu Liushang twirled her fingers slightly behind her back: "I just didn't expect that in this era, there would be people who would choose to build a business near Tanzania City.
meeting……"
"It seems that you know the situation in this area very well." Duan Qing raised his hand holding the wine: "Did you investigate it in advance?"
"Of course, I have a good understanding of the nearby terrain and the cultural background of the Santorius Province." Xu Yu Liushang chuckled and raised his eyebrows: "The trial mission of your adventure group must be the same.
You encountered a lot of setbacks, right?"
"Fortunately, there were just a lot of accidents in the middle." Duan Qing covered his expression with a drinking gesture: "Fortunately, the final process was pretty good, and the association also recognized our trial results..."
"So you have been busy with the adventure group trials in the past two days?"
"Probably, although it sounds unlikely, we did take down the dragon in only two days."
"Are the two weapons you are carrying the result of this mission?"
"A small amount of profit is insignificant. In the face of the success of our adventure group's trial, this trophy is nothing."
"No wonder I haven't been able to find your people in the past two days..."
The smiling expression seemed to be a little closer to Duan Qing, and he put one of his arms between his legs that were slowly curled up: "It turns out that he went out for a private party behind our backs."
"Have you been looking for our whereabouts?" Duan Qing, who was looking embarrassed, pulled back. This time it was Xue Ling Huan Bing who was still holding the magician's arm and asked: "What do you want to do?"
"Originally, I still had some interesting questions that I wanted to ask." Xuyu Liushang, who put one hand in front of his knee, slightly stretched his arm to one side: "But now... I have something more interesting.
"
"Since your guild has just been established, you probably don't have enough manpower now, right?" Her feminine charm suddenly bloomed like mellow wine, and her eyes smiled like crescent moons: "Are you interested in accepting me into the guild?"
As if they didn't think of this sudden question, Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who were sitting across from each other, all lost their voices for a moment. Their expressions and eyes gradually became weird as they looked at the murmuring words, as if they didn't think of this.
A woman as mature as a peach would suddenly make such a proposal. Then the sound of gasping in pain could be vaguely heard in the strange air, accompanied by Duan Qing, who had his eyes straightened by Xue Linghuan.
There was a wonderful expression on Bing An's face when he secretly pinched his waist. Looking at all this, Wu Yu Liushang also sighed softly in his heart and straightened up his waist like a water snake with a bright smile.
Lim: "You're kidding, don't be so nervous. You don't look like the type that can be easily joined, not to mention..."
"I also have my guild and team to deal with."
She gestured towards the door of the tavern behind her, revealing the backs of Doomsday Sorrow and Leng Yulihun who were guarding the door at the moment in front of Duan Qing: "How could I abandon them."
"Don't do this, it's not good for my heart."
Holding back the pain that was still coming from his waist and abdomen, Duan Qing smiled and scratched his head: "You didn't come to us specifically this time just to make a few jokes that could easily be misunderstood, right?"
"That's right."
Nodding slightly, the blue-haired murmurer subconsciously looked around the tavern: "Although this place is not suitable for conversation, this kind of thing does not need to be kept secret, so..."
"We did a little research on the attack on Koruk Outpost." She lowered her voice: "We found some very interesting things."
As if in response to the change of topic, the smell of alcohol that originally surrounded this group of people also dissipated. Duan Qing, whose eyes became clear, looked up at the murmuring face, and then posed again.
He made a sipping gesture: "Is it... a scene arranged by them themselves?"
"No, on the contrary, the people involved are very interesting."
"oh?"
"Remember that archer?"
"What happened to the archer?"
"That archer is not an NPC, but a player."
Glancing at the noisy crowd in the noisy tavern, the chattering eyebrows gradually lowered: "So we asked about the more famous archers nearby, and then did a little research on their recent whereabouts...
"
"Wait a minute, are you sure it was the players?" Like a little woman who refused to admit defeat, Xue Ling Huan Bing pulled Duan Qing and stared at her eyes: "Although I didn't walk out of the tavern door at all,
But listening to that fat man’s description…”
"Their information should be correct." The blue-haired swordswoman tapped her finger on the opponent's wine glass gently: "But the problem is... they didn't see the appearance of the archer hiding at the top of the barracks.
right?"
"..."
"Okay, I won't hide it from you."
There was a bit more smile in the voice, and Wuyu Liushang, who was holding his chin, looked at each other with playful eyes and Duan Qing's helpless eyes: "Although that battle was very sudden, the Imperial people did get some news in advance, so
The losses in that battle were not large, and... they also captured some people alive."
"What? There are still prisoners?"
"Although they didn't get any useful information, they did mention some adventurers who came to assist."
Looking at the eyes of Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing gradually widening, the blue-haired woman made a shooting gesture towards the front: "Look, there are advantages to leaving late, right?"
"Humph!" Then Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was leaning next to Duan Qing, let out a dissatisfied cold snort: "Then I really thank you."
"Please don't say thank you or anything like that to me. We just used some means to get this information out."
He winked at Duan Qing, whispered and brushed the long hair behind him into the air: "As for the most critical part -"
"...Boss, give this lady a glass of Wutland."
Waving to Paul, the indifferent tavern owner next to him, Duan Qing looked at the blue-haired woman who never said a word after raising her voice with a knowing look on her face: "Is this okay?"
"...That person is called Ti Kuo Ma, and he is an old member of the Beast and Bird Alliance."
A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he slowly approached Duan Qing. He then ignored the warnings that Xueling Huanbing kept sending with his eyes: "Many other members of the Beast and Bird Alliance seem to be lurking nearby. Currently, they have already
There have been many reports of sightings.”
"I see, it seems that they are planning to do something." Duan Qing held his chin and showed a thoughtful expression: "Are you planning to continue the attack... uh."
He closed his mouth, and the focus of the gathered eyes fell on a finger that Wuyu Liushang suddenly put to his lips. The blue-haired swordswoman shook her head slightly and then raised the corners of her mouth, remaining calm.
He gestured towards the hall of the tavern: "Don't say any more unnecessary words. This is not the place to discuss such topics."
"Okay, let's change places."
Looking at the face of the mature female swordsman who reached out to take a glass of the same ice-blue wine, Duan Qing looked around the tavern: "How about the Adventurer Association? We can go to the second floor..."
"If possible, I would rather stay in your room for a while."
Interrupting Duan Qing's words again, Xu Yuliu took a sip of ice-blue wine worth a thousand gold coins, and then lowered his head with a sweet smile in the sight of Xueling Huanbing's eyes spitting fire next to him: "
Well, it’s still just a joke, because I have other things to be busy with, so I won’t bother you anymore.”
"...Ah?" So Duan Qing blinked his eyes: "Then you come here this time..."
The sound of the light armor colliding with the action of the blue-haired woman reaching forward gradually came to Duan Qing. Accompanying it was the softness of the mature woman who had drunk the wine and showed her charm instantly, covering the armor.
Then her fingers gently tapped Duan Qing's lips again, and then returned to the chattering face again. Her eyes turned into a smile, and she blew gently towards the cloaked woman with an unhappy look on her face.
, and then when the two people showed uneasy expressions at the same time, they stuffed the remaining ice blue wine into Xueling Huanbing's arms: "It is indeed a good wine."
"Give it back to you."
She stood up, her swaying figure and light steps slowly walked towards the door of the tavern. Her long blue hair then disappeared into the night scene outside as the creaking wooden door rotated.
Underneath, the other drinkers near the bar seemed to have become somewhat silent due to the departure of this familiar beauty, and at the same time they made a low humming sound that only occurs when talking to each other, but
To Duan Qing's ears at this time, such a sound was no different from the harsh noise in the tavern: "Who was that woman just now? She was so ecstatic, wasn't she?"
"It seems to be called Xuyu Liushang. I heard he is a very powerful person among adventurers."
"Very powerful? As powerful as the Lord of Violet?"
"I don't know if the Lord of Violet is as powerful as the Lord of Violet, but he is just as beautiful as the Lord of Violet...I can say for sure! Hahahahaha!"
"They seem to show more concern for you."
Looking at the more looks coming at them amid the laughter, Xue Ling Huan Bing breathed out slightly: "Don't you have any ideas?"
"I should be the one to ask you this question." Duan Qing pointed to the sipped glass of blue wine in the other person's hand: "Otherwise, I'm afraid I will die soon."
"I know what that woman means."
Instead of getting really angry as Duan Qing expected, Xue Ling Huan Bing lowered her eyebrows: "She is provoking me in this way, implying that my abilities are not as strong as hers."
"Uh... don't worry, you are already powerful women in different fields." Duan Qing, who didn't know what to say, finally comforted him and said, "Don't worry too much about the eyes of that woman and other people."
"But I really can't help you very much." A little of her long white hair was exposed, and Xueling Huanbing's head also lowered: "Aside from completing the trial mission of the adventure group with you, what else do I do?
None of them did it..."
"Stop thinking nonsense, it's enough for you to be here."
Reaching out and touching the other person's head, Duan Qing then turned his smiling eyes to the other side of the bar: "In comparison, there is another point that concerns me more."
"What?"
"How much of our identity did that woman know?"
After saying these meaningful words, the magician with a look of sadness in his eyes slowly turned around, and his eyes stayed for a moment on the other two confronting figures who had been pushed aside by the chattering momentum.
Then John Koner, who stood there with a pensive look on his face, greeted the Taoist player and said, "This fellow Taoist is really extraordinary. Even someone like Xu Yu Liushang can easily deal with it."
"We just met once before, and the friendship is not as good as you seem." Duan Qing spread his hands in vain: "As for why she favors me so much... Well, I wonder if you know the inside story?"
"Ah, I am right to ask this kind of question to an old Taoist." Hongshan Taoist clapped his hands and laughed: "I have dealt with that femme fatale woman several times before I came here. Her vicious heart and her heavenly beauty
They have all reached the state of enlightenment, so..."
"I came here to make a suggestion."
His body leaned forward slightly, with a mysterious expression on his face: "I wonder if you have any intention..."
"Want to join the Imperial Army?" (To be continued)
