"Hello."

After a while, in the center of Tanzanian City, on the corner of a crowded street, the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Xue Lingxuan Bing directly pushed open the door in front of them with the wooden sign of the Adventurers' Association, and at the same time incorporated a pleasant greeting into their ears. The guild hall, which seemed to be very simple and standard, was also covered by the figures coming and going at this time, and at the same time, there were also the attentive eyes of countless players who hurried by when they kept coming and going, Duan Qing, who was still calm on the surface, then let go of his hand that had been pushing the door, and at the same time whispered to an NPC who was standing by the door and was in charge of reception: "Hello." ”

"Are the two adventurers? What kind of services do you need? If you need to issue a request, please go up to the second floor, and if you need to accept a request......"

"We're just here to take a look."

Waving his hand to reject the enthusiasm on the other party's face, Duan Qing, who hid the snow spirit ice behind him, smiled at the other party: "Don't worry about us, let's visit it ourselves first." ”

I don't know when she put on a light cloak, and the woman named Xue Ling Phantom Ice was then officially pulled into the hall of the Adventurer Association by Duan Qing, and the original conspicuous white hair was also hidden by the hood on the cloak at this time, and at the same time, her rather unhappy expression was hidden: "As a result, I still have to come in secretly......

"After all, you are very famous now, although you have become a weakling, but your appearance has not changed much...... Hey, can you bear with it a little bit? Even if I could explain them to the NPCs, players would notice you sooner or later. ”

“…… I would have changed my ID if I had known. The woman tugging at the bottom of the cloak pursed her mouth in dissatisfaction: "I was afraid that you wouldn't recognize me at that time, so I ......"

"God knows you're going to chase me in this way, I'm going to go somewhere else to hide from my debts...... Oops, hey, don't bite, don't bite! ”

Pushing the other party's head that was biting on his arm to the side, Duan Qing hurriedly interrupted the other party's thought of continuing to complain: "I was wrong, I was wrong, it's all my fault." ”

"What do we do next?"

Nodding his head with satisfaction, the corners of Xue Ling's Phantom Bing, who had sharpened his teeth, slowly pulled out a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Go to the place in front to inquire?" ”

"Well, it looks like there's a lot of people." Duan Qing, who was rubbing his arms, then also put his eyes on the counter in front of him that was surrounded by a sea of people: "It should be the counter where you are entrusted to receive the task...... What, haven't you seen it? ”

"When I was in Wings of Freedom before, I asked my subordinates to do the tasks they accepted."

“…… Well, then please wait here a little longer, Miss. ”

With a slight salute towards the other party, Duan Qing then pulled the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice to the side of several notice boards, and then slowly squeezed to the front of the counter in the direction of the flow of people coming and going. The noise and noise that still did not stop were constantly haunting Duan Qing's left and right at this time with the crowd of players from all over the world, and from time to time there were several people who clashed and began to solve the problem on the spot, Duan Qing, who looked much weaker than them, pulled his gray magic robe with all his strength, and only after a while did he take the big man with his head to the front of the counter: "That, may I ask ......?"

“…… It's all about B-level missions, and that's all there is to it! If you don't want to take it, give someone a place! ”

A loud shout then appeared in front of Duan Qing, interrupting his questioning while slapping the figure of a player at the front of the line next to him flying: "Next!" ”

"Uh, that ......"

"Next! Next! Under...... Well? Is it you next? ”

Twisting his fist that he had just moved, a certain big man in reception clothes standing on the other side of the counter then slowly lowered his high gaze on Duan Qing's face: "A weak 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 sturdy association receptionist then moved his gaze from Duan Qing's body to his hand: "Let me see...... Well, there are not many E-class missions left, and now only the old man Yug commissioned to collect wolf skins and Romelia to find his missing puppy, this puppy is not easy to find, and it has been witnessed lost in the Kemparo Canyon......"

"No, it's not, what I want to ask is-"

"What, you still want a D-class mission?"

The loud voice instantly overshadowed Duan Qing's words, and the big man looked at the face of the gray-robed magician in front of him with disdain: "Don't dream, I can see your strength at a glance, the magic level is not even more than the second level, a guy like you...... It may be better for you to practice on the Tanzanian plains. ”

"That's why I didn't come to take on the mission."

Sighing helplessly, Duan Qing finally maintained his patience: "I'm here to ask a few questions." ”

“…… What the? ”

"There's a quest from a client named Gao Luo whose goal is to go to the jungles of Gemenan to find an ancient relic and give it to Lord Luxor."

Ignoring the bad attitude of the strong man and the eyes of the players around him who began to pay attention, Duan Qing, who had a mysterious face, leaned forward in a low voice: "I wonder if you have any relevant commission files here?" ”

"The jungle of Gemenan? Luxor? The expression on the strong man's face became a little more exaggerated: "What kind of place are you here?" Is that bullshit golden palace of his? If you want to nod and ask him for a gift, please go to 22 Sambriland Street, don't come here to harass me! ”

"I'm not looking for him." Duan Qing blocked the saliva spitting out of the other party with his hand: "I just want to ask about the relevant news about the client......

"The Adventurers' Guild won't give away the client's information easily, little one."

As if he had heard some ridiculous joke, the big man who laughed out loud then looked at Duan Qing in front of him with a more ferocious gaze: "Look at the way you look now...... You're not the one to take on this task, are you? ”

"Not then, but now ......"

"A word of advice, don't get involved 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 still counting just now directly into Duan Qing's arms: "Give you the task of collecting wolf skins, and then don't come to harass me again, otherwise...... You're going to be crushed. ”

"Next!"

The sound like an angry roar then echoed in every corner of the hall of the Adventurers' Association, and at the same time, there was also the scene of Duan Qing being blown out by the inexplicable strong wind, and he fell to the ground with his head in his arms for a long time before he rubbed his chest and got up, but it was difficult to see the figure of the big man being blocked by the adventurers who were congested up again.

*************************

"It's good to see you eat deflated."

"Typical schadenfreude, naughty."

In the hall of the Adventurers' Association, in the rest area gradually occupied by the scattered crowd of players, Duan Qing, who was sitting on one of the rows of benches, was patting his chest while looking at the counter area that was still full: "If you don't want to tell me, just say it, why do you want to beat me out." ”

"Aren't you the first to be beaten, and haven't there been several victims flying in front of us before and after?" Xue Ling, who was covering his head with his hood, lowered his head and pointed in the direction where another player had just been fanned out: "It looks like that big guy is not in a good mood right now." ”

"That's true, but ...... He should know something. ”

Straightening his body vigorously, Duan Qing exhaled the last breath of turbid air on his chest: "His reaction is a little different, I can feel it." ”

"Another instinct to be a veteran player?"

Jiao smiled and leaned forward, and Xue Lingphantom Ice leaned her head on Duan Qing's shoulder: "If you are really powerful, then why are you still being bullied like this in the end?" ”

"I respect the old and love the young." Duan Qing raised his nostrils to the sky with a disdainful expression: "Looking at his appearance, maybe it's already four ...... No, over fifty. ”

"Is this bad things for someone else behind your back?" Xue Ling's phantom ice's gaze kept wandering around Duan Qing's neck: "Do you usually say that about me?" ”

"I never speak ill of people behind my back." Afraid that the other party's silver teeth would fall on him again, Duan Qing hurriedly raised his palm: "And I have nothing to hide from you, I have told you everything I could tell you before......"

"Alright, let's move on to the previous topic."

Sitting up slightly straight, Xue Lingphantom Ice moved her gaze from the other party's cheek to the other party's body: "That one is called Kaisha...... You said you saved her? ”

"You probably don't remember a lot of the details of that day's battle by now."

Looking up at the ceiling of the hall, Duan Qing's gaze became deeper: "Actually...... I don't remember the events of that day very clearly, but I just fell into the space of the inner world after splitting the tower of Tyranny in half with a single sword. ”

"That's it...... The world you described earlier? Xue Lingphantasm asked suspiciously, "Why have I never been in?" ”

"Don't ask me questions like that, I don't know what this free world system is up to." Duan Qing laughed helplessly: "I just found the core of the soul sacrifice according to my understanding and guess, and then found Maggie who had disappeared into the surface world. ”

"And you saved her?"

"It's not that simple."

Slowly exhaling a leisurely breath, Duan Qing reminisced and described: "Black monsters, beasts, and unknown creatures that have not even formed their outlines...... It was a chaotic world, and it was raging everywhere as the Void Storm rose. Maybe it's because of the geography, I can still hear the loud bells, and ...... By the way, there are also those robots, which are supposed to be the armies and thugs used by the rulers of the inner world to pacify the ravages of these monsters. ”

"It's shaped like the ones we encountered earlier at the top of Falling Star Mountain." Speaking of this, he gestured to the sky in a certain direction in the distance: "Do you remember? ”

"Of course I do." Xue Lingphantom Ice blinked his eyes: "So that means ...... That thing also came out of the inner world? ”

"I can't guarantee that." 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 kind of power in the Void World." ”

"Why do you say that, have you seen anything like this anywhere else?"

"You've seen something like that, not so long ago."

Quietly taking out a bottle of black magic potion from his arms, Duan Qing gestured to the other party: "Do you remember?" ”

"Soul Elixir?" Xue Lingphantom Ice, who lightly touched the bottle of potion, whispered, "The one who killed Jovolk? ”

"It's not a human, it's a machine." Duan Qing corrected: "Enforcers of the other world. ”

“…… I see. ”

Blinking his eyes, the light in Xue Ling's Phantom Ice eyes became more and more intense: "That world is actually full of so many new things...... I'm a little interested, too. ”

"Trust me, you won't want to go there in person."

Putting away the bottle of black potion that emitted a mysterious light, Duan Qing then took the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and began to walk towards the gate of the Adventurers' Association: "Instead of being interested in that kind of thing, it is better for you to practice your swordsmanship honestly." ”

"But there's always something to do, right? Are you going to do the task you just got to kill the wolf? ”

"Don't talk about that incident again, okay? And we don't have any adventure groups and guilds at all, and even if we do this mission, we won't be able to return the guild or increase any prestige or rank......"

"Then let's start a Adventurers' Guild."

It was not Xue Ling's Phantom Ice who answered this sentence, but the welcoming NPC who was still standing at the door and greeting every adventurer, as if she had become accustomed to serving the public, answering questions and other similar things, and the woman wearing the same association uniform also turned her head at this time, and looked at a man and a woman who were close at hand with a gentle smile on top of the dress: "You seem to have suffered a little loss under Uncle Mu's hands before...... Hee-hee, but that's okay. ”

"If you want an adventure party in the city, you can also go to the second floor." She stretched out her slender arms vigorously towards the wooden staircase next to her in a hospitable posture: "Issuing commissions, forming new groups, rating assessments, large transactions......"

"It's the VIP area of the Adventurers' Guild."
