457 Nominal and nostalgic
Since entering the free world, Duan Qing has never had the idea of establishing a guild and regaining his dominance, even now after experiencing a series of jaw-dropping events and even saving Tania's fate. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In his opinion, the road to pulling up a team of hundreds of people, grabbing resources and territory, and then dominating the game world is already some old things that are far away from him, whether it is as a past visitor who has experienced a painful experience, or as an ordinary player who has no power and power, he does not want to go down this road again. The targeted action launched by Jianghu and the Sword of Justice a few days ago may not have been without such considerations, and now I think about it...... Although those histories seemed like a dream of the past to them, their worries about the other guilds were not unreasonable.
The few words that Broken Wind Thunder came over to say to him may not be without temptation, but ...... Hmph, you still don't know enough about me.
Remembering the previous scene when the old face with a scar disappeared from the crowd at the city gate, Duan Qing shook his head a little helplessly, and then dropped the pile of resumes that he barely looked at anymore, and stood up with a slap on his ass. The dispute between Xiao Hongchen and the Thousand Fingered Crane on the side was still ringing, mixed with the little girl's dancing and shouting, the corners of his mouth slowly pulled up, and he quietly walked to the side of the golden ponytail that kept flicking: "...... Don't be noisy! The flower pot is placed there, and the two of you will not be in the house in the future activity location, so what's the use of fighting for this thing...... Hey, why are you here? ”
"Since you really want to make this place your home in the future, it's normal for everyone to express their opinions." Duan Qing spread his hands and smiled: "Everyone is satisfied, and I won't have any opinions in the future......
"Well, that's right...... Then let them quarrel a little longer. ”
The little girl nodded with her chin, then turned around to look at Duan Qing's face: "Finished reading?" ”
"Well, I'm done."
"Didn't even fancy any of them?"
“…… It's all shrimp soldiers and crab generals. ”
“…… That's it. ”
Dangling the ponytail on the back of his head, Mengzhu's eyes swept over the other party's face for a while, and finally pouted and nodded, and then turned around casually: "When it is dawn tomorrow, I will go and return all these things, and then talk to Ferrystone, and set up the recruitment location of the adventure group......"
In the end, I still have such a regimental commander......
Sighing and retreating to the corner, Duan Qing exchanged glances with the smiling whisper, who walked towards the corner with his arms crossed, as if he had no desire to continue to communicate with him on this topic. After thinking about everything that happened before for a while and all the information he saw in his hurried glance, Duan Qing finally gave up the idea of "panning for gold in the sea", and then asked a question in a low voice when a maid smiled and handed over the tea: "Ning Lan, ...... You should know the whereabouts of Jian Beidong, right? ”
“…… Mr. Jian Beidong contacted us a few days ago, saying that he had met a difficult teacher and was trying to accompany him. The secret whisper Ning Lan replied with a smile: "That teacher also had the intention of witnessing before the fall of Tania, and I don't know if he took action later......
“…… That is, that guy may have been to Tania as well? Duan Qing asked, "Just two days ago?" ”
"Yes, sir." The woman holding the wooden plate thought for a while with her finger against her mouth, and then nodded slightly: "If the news is not wrong...... He must have been here that day. ”
“…… This script is a bit familiar. So Duan Qing sighed lowly: "When he was in Fenghua Town, he also passed by like this......"
"If it weren't for Mr. Jian Beidong, Ning Lan wouldn't be able to see you." The maid suddenly smiled even brighter: "So...... Ning Lan and Miss Liuyu were very grateful to him. ”
"Got it, got it." Duan Qing closed his eyes and waved his hand: "Since you are also so concerned...... When you have the chance, remember to tell him a word. ”
His eyes narrowed slightly: "Our adventure group is short of people, you ......"
"Do you want to come?"
***********************
After all, the Fool Adventure Group still recruited two people, but that was a few days later, because after this turmoil gradually spread, there were still two familiar faces who came to the door through some channels and stood in front of Duan Qing one after another.
One of them is Xiao Hongchen's good brother Salted Fish King.
"It is said that you are also the founder of our regiment, and later you were shaved off only because there were enough people."
Looking at the player in front of him with tattered equipment but still a calm posture, Duan Qing's fingers pressed on the bridge of his nose for a while: "So we have no reason to refuse you, but ......"
"May I ask?" He looked into the eyes of the Salted Fish King: "Why do you want to come back?" ”
"It's simple." The Salted Fish King pointed to Xiao Hongchen, who was smirking on the side: "He asked me to come, and I came." ”
“……”
"Well, I'm really just a nominal person, and even if you agree to me joining now, I'll still say that."
Bowing as he did when they first met, the Salted Fish King replied politely, "I'm very satisfied with my current way of living, after all, it seems to be ...... The Shadows are a good place for me to play, and they seem to have a very good prospect, so ......"
"You don't want to give up your job over there yet, do you?" Duan Qing, who was sitting behind the table, folded his hands: "Very real thoughts, I can understand your position." ”
"Xiao Hongchen seems to be mixing well with you."
The bare-chested man who was squeezing his eyebrows at the back shook his reassuring eyes, and the Salted Fish King turned around with a smile: "With what you have achieved so far...... You're sure you'll be able to get along well in the future, and since my brother has invited me again, of course I'm going to come and have a look, at least ......."
"It's kind of leaving a way back for yourself."
He flicked his versatile sleeves and covered his face: "Isn't it? ”
“…… Of course. ”
Duan Qing looked at the other party and nodded: "Even if we don't consider the strength behind you, and only consider the contributions you have made to the adventure group, we have no reason to refuse you." If you follow Wiesel in the future, you will end up in a different world...... Maybe it will be a big help for our adventure party. ”
"So I should say...... Do we have a good time working together? ”
"Yes, nice to work with."
Under Xiao Hongchen's relaxed gaze, the man shook hands with Duan Qing, who also stood up, and then said goodbye to each other after a few routine words of dialogue, and walked towards the far side of the street with the elated shirtless man. Duan Qing, who was sitting at the table at the door again, was stunned for a while, as if considering the true intentions hidden under the surface of this person, and finally let out a sigh of helplessness, and set his eyes on another person who had been waiting for a long time: "So...... What about you? Will the ladder let you go? ”
“…… I've already talked to him. ”
The evil young man who was wrapped in bandages all over his body shook his head, but a smile appeared on his slightly pale face: "You are also former comrades-in-arms, and you are familiar with each other, so he didn't say anything, just nodded and agreed." ”
“…… Hey, he'll be sure I'll ask him for a drink when I get back. ”
Spit out such words in a low voice, Duan Qing waved his hand to drive this little worry out of his mind, and then looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face, and his voice involuntarily eased a little: "I heard that this time the battle ...... You're still as desperate as ever. ”
“……”
"It's okay, we're just talking...... Why did you suddenly remember to come to me? ”
“…… The favor with the captain of the ladder has almost been settled, and the future of the principality will gradually stabilize, and places like the battlefield dungeon ...... It will become very rare in the future. ”
The young man thought for a while, and his voice was intermittent: "Many of the teams that used to be involved in the battlefield are now also thinking about the future path, some plan to change careers to become an adventure group, some plan to take advantage of the favorable wind of traffic to travel around the world, and some plan to start a field group and continue the work of mixing the battlefield...... Captain Ladder seems to have planned to do so, and his popularity and reputation are not bad, so ......"
"So you've got it all figured out?" Duan Qing said with a smile: "Have you thought about coming to us?" ”
“…… Well, that's all I'm going to talk about casually. ”
Looking at Duan Qing's smiling face, the evil young man of Jicheng suddenly laughed as well: "That...... I just wanted to say ......"
"Can you give me another chance?" He whispered, "Give me a chance to fight alongside you?" ”
"Don't say so great, boy." Duan Qing shook his head with a smile: "Playing together is playing together, where is there such an exaggeration as you say...... But when I first met you, you spoke so exaggeratedly, and after you died, you didn't even wait, and ran away alone......"
"Hehe, hehe......"
"Since we can still see each other, it means that we are still very fateful." Duan Qing patted the other party's shoulder, and then pointed to the door behind him: "Go, Mengzhu is still inside, you shouldn't have seen it for a long time, she should be even more surprised......
"I ...... You, did you agree? ”
"I agree but it doesn't work, I'm just a doorkeeper."
Duan Qing sat down at the front of the table again: "When that little girl nods, you can really join the ranks of our adventure group, after all, she is the leader...... Well, if I'm not mistaken, there may be one final test waiting for you. ”
"Test, test?"
"Don't be nervous, it's easy."
Duan Qing propped his chin and winked at the evil young man of Jicheng: "There is also a thousand-fingered crane in it...... She knew the process best. ”
Sending this person into the station, Duan Qing turned his head with a sigh, and then beat his yawn to the crowded street in front of him - since he rejected a large number of players' application to join, the number of players who came here again to "persevere" has dropped a lot, and many players even let out the statement that "the Fool Adventure Group is proud of their achievements", venting their anger at not getting a chance in this unique way. Such a statement is naturally supported by a minority, but it has also greatly reduced the enthusiasm of players who came here to apply for jobs, and the players who have often run to Duan Qing for a few days to beg for a way in, but in the end have been rejected again and again, have appeared in front of him less and less. The days of internal rectification have come to this day, and the table with the signboard of "Fool Adventure Group Temporary Reception" is already crowded, and this hot news that has spread throughout the game has reached Duan Qing, and there are only a few acquaintances who often appear in front of him, as well as the white eyes of passers-by of various colors and meanings.
What's more, there is also the heavy news that the coalition of principality players led by Jianghu is carrying out a large-scale counteroffensive.
The devastated state of the principality is not a reason for players to be deterred, and they don't even have time to study the changes brought about by the new version, and they almost knock the shame of the Empire's destruction back to them as quickly as possible. The vast Talon Plains were full of battles for a while, and with the thorough efforts of the Broken Brothers and other masters, they won one battle after another, until in front of the Fars Fortress, which once belonged to them, that the horn of this counterattack temporarily stopped. Thanks to this wave, the number of players who came to the plain front to support the counterattack also increased imperceptibly, and compared to the gradual rise of the principality, the Imperial players without the support of the Imperial Army had to fight and retreat, and finally relied on the defense of the fortress to retreat.
Since Bernard led the withdrawal of his troops from Tania, the official forces of the Empire no longer seem to have any intention of fighting, as if they have completely lost the confidence to fight under the vast sea of endless players.
"Actually, it's because there's a big problem behind them."
“…… What's the problem? ”
"The city of Zaraha, Ferron, where there were already several major revolts and unrest, and then Bernard led an army to attack the fortress, and there was no commander in the area, so the situation became even worse."
The dim sunlight shone obliquely in front of the gate where Duan Qing was, stretching the shadow of the wooden table in front of him longer and longer, and the sight of entering the night was about to enter the night again, as if it was going to pull everyone's spirit to sleep. However, Duan Qing at this time did not have such thoughts, he didn't even feel a little sleepy, because the visitor sitting in front of him at this time was a woman he never thought of: "Feilong County is not the territory of the empire, I know this truth, but ......"
"How did you end up here?"
“…… I'm here for the pilgrimage, can't I? ”
The black cloak of Xue Lingphantom Ice smiled playfully a little, and propped her hands on the wooden table in front of her: "Let's see what the finals venue I used to fight looks like, by the way...... Come and see you too. ”
"This time? This location? Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death by those war mad sticks?" ”
"The war maniacs have long since run to the fortress."
The woman chuckled and waved her hand, pointing to the western sky, "I believe ......"
"Those who stay here are peace-loving people, right?"
