"I found your names in the adventure group registration book of the Adventurers Association."
The weeds cut by the sword edge were blown by the strong wind above the wilderness, and the figures of the three people who gradually gathered together became clearer. The heavy-armored warrior named Gedman followed Xue.
Ling Huan Bing walked slowly in front of Duan Qing: "That guild called Qing Ling Adventure Group is the newly established guild of the two of you, right?"
"Hmm... I didn't expect you to be quite smart."
Duan Qing, who was still waving various alchemy materials in his hand and looking at the alchemy table in front of him with concentration, finally gained some energy: "And my luck seems to be pretty good."
"Yeah, hahahaha." Taking off his helmet, the heavily armored man smiled bitterly and revealed his weathered uncle's face: "I didn't expect that after what had happened, we would still be able to get together in the end.
.”
"Not just you, anyone who has participated in that battle the day before yesterday should be able to relate it." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was standing aside, held the hilt of his sword and whispered: "I went specifically for Yan Salon. In the end,
People who claim they don’t need any rewards...mostly the only benefit they want in the end is this one."
"Should I congratulate you again?"
Scratching his head in embarrassment, Gedman walked up to Duan Qing and then turned his gaze back and forth in the air between the two people: "You are the first city in Tanzania to successfully build a new one after it disappeared in recent years.
Where’s the adventure group?”
"If it weren't for the naughty woman next to you, we wouldn't risk our lives to fight that giant dragon." Duan Qing replied without raising his head: "And... the adventure groups and guilds in Tanzania City
It’s not that small, and the power of two people like us is nothing at all.”
"The players' guilds in Tanzanian City were established a long time ago, and most of them have now moved to other parts of the empire." Gedman shook his head and said: "It is possible to do this in such a way that there are almost no such guilds.
With the development of resources and easy-to-pass trial tasks, passing the trials is a great thing in itself."
"I said... you came here specially to follow us, aren't you just here to flatter us?" Duan Qing's hand movements paused slightly for a moment: "If you have anything to say, please just say it."
"Um...please allow me to say sorry."
It seemed that it had been brewing for a long time. The heavily armored warrior stood on the spot and took a few deep breaths. Then, looking at the vigilant eyes of Xue Ling Huan Bing beside him, who still had not let go, he bent down deeply: "Before,
In the canyon, we did some things that I'm sorry for you, so since we are lucky enough to meet again this time, I want to express my apology no matter what..."
"Is it just because of the robbery of our BOSS before?"
An explosion like a bubble being popped then sounded in the air in front of Duan Qing, followed by the sound of something being burned. The startled Gedman then hurriedly
He raised his head, but what caught his eye was that Duan Qing was still staring at the action of the alchemy platform in front of him: "Let's not talk about that matter. Anyway, we have reached a temporary agreement. We each get what we need. There is nothing wrong with it.
controversial."
"But, but..." The expression on the heavily armored man's face became more complicated: "But things like grabbing the BOSS are always our fault, right? Although we also suffered a violent death in the end,
Even my experience has dropped by half..."
"It doesn't matter, the real BOSS has run away anyway." Duan Qing shook his head gently: "We didn't see the eyeball monster in the end, and we don't know where it went. If you want to know,
It's news, then you can leave now."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, I'm not...sigh."
Quickly waving his hands, Goldman then slumped his shoulders as if relieved: "It's like this every time. What I wanted to say ended up being a deliberate explanation. I didn't want to.
I did this, but in the end it turned out to be this result..."
"Why, do you still want to defend your behavior of robbing the boss?" Xue Ling Huan Bing on the side asked with a cold face: "Just like we helped you kill the double wanted criminal, but you turned a blind eye?"
"Well, I also had many subordinates with me at that time."
Raising his voice slightly, Goldman then lowered his head as if frustrated: "As a leader of a wild regiment, if you want to make others obey, you have to convince them. I just rely on my strength."
I have grown accustomed to shouting to command them, but I can’t force them to do things they don’t want to do, or prevent them from doing what they want to do..."
"So you are one of the people who was carried away into that cave?"
Finally raising his head, Duan Qing, who still kept moving his hands, glanced at the other party: "What an incompetent captain."
"Yes, I also know that I am very bad." Goldman smiled bitterly again: "This is probably the reason why I have never formed a fixed group or a decent guild."
"Speaking of which, you haven't reported to your guild yet." Xueling Huanbing on the side took two steps forward: "Which guild are you the president of?"
"I... don't have a guild."
After opening his mouth hesitantly, Goldman finally gave his answer: "To be precise, I was abandoned by my guild, and I have been wild ever since."
"Abandoned?" Xue Ling Huan Bing raised her eyebrows: "What was your previous guild?"
"I wonder if you have heard of the name Sword of Justice."
With a sad expression on his face, Goldman stared blankly at the clear sky above the wasteland: "Although it is probably gone now, before the account was deleted and the training was re-trained, it was still... I admired...
…and proud of…”
The sight of the soundless wind blowing by gradually took the surrounding silence away from the place. At the same time, the slightly choked words in the heavily armored warrior's mouth gradually became clear. With his back to the two people, he then seemed to
Hating something, he waved his hand vigorously: "Forget it, it's all in the past."
"Since both of you have reached this point, you must know this better than me."
He turned his head and his eyes first fell on Xue Ling Huan Bing: "Your Majesty the Dark Witch?"
"Don't test me with such words, I don't know what you are talking about."
An emotionless reaction passed over Xue Ling Huan Bing's face. Still holding the hilt of her sword, she pointed behind her: "If there is nothing else, you can leave now."
"Hey, can't you be nicer to a lonely old man?"
"At least you are still at full level now - after all, you were abandoned quite early."
"The news on the Internet has been hanging around for such a long time. You haven't noticed it, right? Besides, I have always been holding back an unwillingness to admit defeat and want to prove it to my past team members.
Coming..."
"Then you've gotten to this point now?"
"yes."
Lowering his head deeply, Goldman simply sat down opposite Duan Qing, who was still refining: "After such a long time, I realized how powerful it is to run a guild well.
Strength and will, the manpower, material resources and energy it requires are not something that ordinary people can think of just thinking about it."
"If it's you two, you must be able to understand what I'm saying, right?" He said with a rather difficult smile: "In any case, I have become a pebble in the river, and my heart is full of anger.
My temper and all that have been worn away a long time ago."
"If you have such an understanding, you might really be able to make a comeback in the future." Duan Qing, without raising his head, suddenly said: "But... this doesn't mean that you just let the members control you now and run away in the end.
What a reason to come here to ruin our good deeds."
"That's right, so didn't I say it at the beginning?"
Under the gaze of Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was still vigilant behind him, he slowly took out two scales exuding strange purple-green energy from his waist: "I'm here to apologize."
"This is apology."
【Dragon Scale (Epic)】
【Materials】
[The scales collected from an unknown giant dragon are extremely hard but extremely flexible. Purple-green light radiates from time to time on the surface of the scales, which seems to mean that it also possesses magical energy that is rare in the world. 】
"This is……"
"These are some of the things I grabbed when we grabbed the BOSS before."
Turning his head to look at the Snow Spirit Huanbing behind him, pointing at the dragon scales on the ground, Gedman replied with a smile: "The situation was a bit chaotic at the time, and I was only one person, so I was able to grab it.
, there are probably only so many left.”
"Anyway, I'm a max-level warrior, so I don't have much use for these materials that can be used to forge weapons and armor, so...well." After saying this, he turned his eyes to the long handle beside Duan Qing.
On the white staff: "Please accept it, although it may not look as good as the trophies you have now..."
"Want to know the origin of these light rays and dragon teeth?" Duan Qing's mouth twitched slightly: "They were given by an NPC who appeared there later."
"No, that's not what I meant - forget it."
Once again making a gesture of clarification, Goldman lowered his hands as if he had some understanding: "Maybe I should be more honest in the future?"
"Maybe, at least you won't be misunderstood easily." Duan Qing threw a magic gem in his arms into the magical light of the alchemy platform: "Making more friends may also help calm your irritable temper.
character."
"Thanks for your advice."
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Goldman slowly stood up with his heavy body covered in heavy armor: "The more delusions there are, the greater the pressure will be... maybe this is really the case.
"
"Is there anything else?"
"If there is one, there is one."
Under the surveillance of Xue Ling Huan Bing, the figure that was gradually getting farther and farther away stayed at the bottom of the mound for a moment, and then gradually lengthened as Gedman turned around again: "I saw that you were coming from inside the city lord's palace.
Come out—do you want to join the escort organized by His Royal Highness?"
"That's right, and I've been selected." Duan Qing replied casually: "What's the problem?"
"You have actually been selected."
Turning his head again, Goldman walked towards the direction of the outline of Tanzania City: "For the new adventure group, that is indeed a good mission, but..."
"The current situation in Tanzania City is not simple." His figure began to move further and further away: "Even if you don't take into account the complex power conflicts within the empire and the Violet Tower, just look at the number of players who have appeared nearby..."
"It's easy to see what kind of storm is about to happen."
"……Hey."
Duan Qing shook his head slightly, and finally let out a low laugh as he watched the figure go away: "This guy is still not honest enough."
"He must have recognized our identities, right?" Xue Ling Huan Bing asked in a low voice, making a knife gesture, "Should we go and warn him again?"
"Don't be so violent. It doesn't matter if one or two people notice some clues." Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "What's more, this is a game world, so what if you go and warn him?"
"..."
"Okay, okay, don't worry."
Reaching out and touching another bottle of alchemy potion, Duan Qing's eyes still did not leave the purple gold coin floating in the center of the alchemy platform: "Since that person will take the initiative to come over to test us, it means that he wants to work with us.
Make a friend, and those dragon scales placed on the ground are also proof of his sincerity."
"As for the deeper purpose behind this, that's not something we need to consider now... Oh yo."
The purple light suddenly magnified in front of him, outlining the bright energy like a star map in front of the two people. Duan Qing, who noticed that the harsh resonance was emitting from it, immediately took out a bottle of light gray potion.
, poured it on the surface of the star map: "It's such a close call, it shouldn't be discovered by that woman, right?"
"Are you so afraid of being noticed by her?" Looking at the scene of the star map retracting into the gold coins under the influence of the potion, Xue Ling Huan Bing couldn't help but chuckle: "Because of what that person said before
?”
"Since he knows our intentions, he naturally also knows what I am doing now."
Pointing to the direction where Gedman had left, Duan Qing held the gold coin in his hand again: "No matter what his previous identity was, he is an old man who has been here for a long time. He chose this time.
Click here to remind us..."
"About the background of the Violet Tower and its relationship with the Empire, he must know something." (To be continued)
