[End of the game――]

[Please wait, teleportation is about to start......]

"Whew...... Well done, brothers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On the side of a busy avenue, Illusion, who drew his weapon from the corpse of the last enemy, let out a long breath, and then clapped his hands at his companions around him: "I didn't expect the first game to be so hard, but ...... I'm very grateful to everyone for coming together to win the game. ”

"What did the president say, we should thank you......"

"That's right, and that guy from Sun and Moon, who almost took the life of the president......"

"God knows there's going to be a carriage coming down the road! It's the same for you......"

With a relieved smile on his face, the man in the trench coat listened to the talk and denunciation one after another, slowly put down his weapon, and then after the light of transmission enveloped his body, he suppressed all the words of his teammates: "Okay, some details, don't discuss them, go back and have a good rest, summarize the experience......"

"President."

“…… Wait a minute. ”

Looking at a player who suddenly appeared from the side, Phantom closed his mouth and waved his hand at the others, motioning for them to wait for a while, before walking to the side of the seat: "What's the matter?"

"The people of Wings of Liberty have all competed, they ...... It's offline. ”

"Offline?" Puzzled, Dream asked, "What do you mean?" Are they back in the game? ”

"It's not clear at the moment, it will take someone from Team Five to get the news back."

“…… Damn it. ”

Standing in place and thinking for a while, the man in the trench coat waved his fist helplessly: "If it weren't for our game so late, we should be able to keep up......"

"Aside from freeflying, we haven't figured out the whereabouts of Hot Winter, and he and his men...... Probably still in the game. The man whispered, "Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that he did not participate in the team competition."

“…… That guy didn't do this in the first place, so it's normal not to participate. Dream replied slowly, "But...... Where would he be at this juncture? ”

"Do you need us to investigate the actions of the other guilds?"

“…… No, we don't have that many people. ”

Looking at the still boiling crowd in the arena, Phantom Dream shook his head and put his hands behind his back: "Unless we have to, let's not do such inefficient things, it's better to only focus on one target of Freedom Wings, after all, ......"

"They're the most suspicious people."

“…… With all due respect, President. ”

In the crowd, the person who had been bowing his head to report hesitated slightly, and then slowly asked his own question: "These things...... Is it all true? If it's true......"

"What do we get out of it?"

“…… What do you want to ask? The man's eyes swirled around the man's body, and then said lightly: "If you want to ask, just ask."

"President ......"

The man hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth: "We...... Do you want to regain your glory? ”

“…… Regain the glory, huh. ”

Phantom Dream raised a hand and slowly grasped the sunset in the distance: "That kind of thing...... It's impossible. ”

"Even if I had a heart, the glory of the dawn would not have become the glory it was." He looked at his men: "It's like a blade that breaks the sky...... Never coming back. ”

"President ......"

"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of stupid person with a hot brain." Phantom Dream patted the other party's shoulder, like a serious mentor: "People who give everything they have for the so-called dreams, fantasies, or reclaiming something, I look down on all of them, many things...... What is past is what is in the past, and it can never be changed. ”

"Fate can never be changed."

"I'm high enough now." He sighed, and then put his hands behind his back again: "I have won the first, commanded tens of millions of people, dominated so many worlds, and had vigorous love, although none of them ended well in the end, but ...... I'm already satisfied. ”

"Why bother to fight yourself again for some useless fantasies?" He said with a smile.

"We're relieved that the president can think so." The man whispered, "I thought ......"

"No, no, no, don't jump to conclusions." Phantom Dream suddenly interrupted the other party's words: "You subordinates, one thinks more than the other, it's just the same thought, if you think differently...... Always like to rebel against me, am I so easy to bully as a president? Is it so incompetent? It's okay to be disobedient in normal times, and it's so difficult to even get a team to participate in the League Cup......"

"No, President, we didn't mean that......"

"I didn't mean that either." The trench coat man laughed, "But what do you guys think...... It's better to say it in advance, don't always guess there yourself, it's still a trivial matter to me if there is a misunderstanding or something, if it interferes with my judgment......"

"It's probably going to be a big deal."

“…… Subordinate, got it. ”

"Alright, keep watching, the next time to ...... I'll figure it out for myself. Waving his hand, the dream began to walk in the direction of the original seat, but the next moment, as if he remembered something, he stopped his steps again: "What's more......"

"It's not our turn...... Not necessarily. ”

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

"Sister Xue! Sister Xue, huh, huh, huh......"

“…… What's wrong? ”

"Oh, Sister Xue, where have you been, we've been looking for you for a long time......"

“…… I've always been here, not anywhere else. ”

At the top of the arena, on the edge of the stone wall where the breeze blew, a panting player paused for a moment beside a woman in a cloak before pressing his chest and continuing, "The president and the others have already gone back, he asked me to inform you, hurry back to the meeting."

“…… Why is there a meeting again? Did he say what the topic was? ”

"No, he didn't say anything."

“…… I see, you go back. ”

"Sister Xue won't go back?"

"I'm going to ...... Well? ”

The cloaked figure that stood still suddenly moved, and then slowly turned its head in the player's gaze: "You...... Which squad are you on? ”

"Huh? Uh......" The man hesitated for a moment, and finally said the truth in a certain cold gaze: "I, I am the ...... of the second team"

"The ...... of the second team Hum. The woman's gaze became even colder: "You...... How long have you been here? ”

"I, didn't I just find you?" The man replied with a haha, but his body involuntarily took a step back: "Yes, the president just got off the line, but one, I haven't found your ......"

The woman was silent for a while, but the half of her beautiful face under the hood showed a peculiar smile: "I...... Got it. ”

"I'm going to tell you...... Our President, I'll be there soon. She said lightly, "You can go."

"Huh? Oh...... I, I see. The man stepped back step by step, and finally turned around hesitantly: "Then, then I'll go back and report it......"

“……”

The woman didn't answer, just looked at him lightly, and only after seeing the man flee did she withdraw her gaze: "Heh......"

"You ...... Are you so worried about me? ”

She pressed her forehead and sighed, and then muttered, what suddenly appeared in her mind was not a dream, a plan and goal that she had thought about thousands of times, not even the big theories and teachings that Duan Qing had told her before, but the picture that had just happened, the man was pulled away by a red-haired girl in the eyes of two women in the distance.

"Alas......"

She muttered, "When...... What can we do to put an end to this? ”

"It's just getting started."

The scene suddenly shifted to the wind In the early morning of January 5th, in the north of Tania City, Duan Qing, who had been identifying for a long time, finally found his destination, and then pushed open the door of the library in the cold wind of the early morning. Originally, he still had a lot of tasks and commissions to do, but he still had the heavy responsibility of fighting for a place for a certain girl, so he had to put those things aside for the time being, and took the lead in front of the library he went to yesterday, and the thousand fingered cranes who had been with him had already run to other places with a lot of pages at this time, and handed over the task of going to the library to him alone, as for the reason...... In addition to wanting to act separately, in the hope of being able to blossom more and complete the goal set by Mengzhu as soon as possible, they can also be regarded as fulfilling the promise they made yesterday, so that they can teach themselves the prestige in the hearts of a certain curator, and not to become negative.

Of course, is there any element of Duan Qing's self-will...... Only he can tell.

The early morning of the library seemed to be no different from the night seen yesterday, except for the difference in light and shadow, the scene in front of him was still as cold and quiet as ever, which was very in line with the impression of the library in Duan Qing's heart. However, just like what Duan Qing has often experienced, behind that ordinary scene, there is still a trace of dissonance - a man standing in front of the counter at the door, holding a book in his hand, is shaking the book in his hand, and constantly arguing with a sleepy old man sitting behind the counter.

"Just getting started...... Need me write you a preface? ”

"You...... Still don't want to say anything. ”

“…… What should I say? ”

"At least let them know ......"

"That's not what we should be doing."

"We live in this place, and we should always be ......"

The voice was high and low, and intermittent, even Duan Qing, who pushed the door in, couldn't tell how much, only in the still dim hall, there seemed to be a trace of echo trying to transmit the conversation between the two people to every corner: "No, I won't do this."

"You should do it!"

"No, I won't."

“…… Are you stupid to read? Know how to read all day long! How long has it been since you went out to see? ”

"This is not ......" The old man opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Duan Qing, who was gradually coming over: "Are there any of you?"

Boom!

The man with his back to Duan Qing was wearing a coarse cloth garment, and the overly rough workmanship completely revealed the quality of the garment, and even the trouser legs under it had become tattered, exposing the bast shoes worn by the man at the same time, exposing the man's calves cleanly, looking like a refugee from the west of the principality. But the strand of hair tied with a pale blue cloth ribbon on the back of the man's head, and the way he stood, seemed to indicate the extraordinary temperament of this man, although he had just slapped the book in his hand on the counter in front of him: "Don't quibble! You're old Wiggins, you're ......"

He paused, then suddenly looked back and saw Duan Qing standing behind him: "Who are you?"

"I'm Mo Shangqing......"

"Adventurers?"

Before Duan Qing could finish speaking, the man looked him up and down, and said these words with his chin cocked: "You are an adventurer, right?"

"Yes, yes." Duan Qing touched his nose slightly embarrassed: "I am indeed an adventurer......

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......" Holding the book in his hand tightly, the man's expression became terrifying: "You old guy...... Are even students so casual now? ”

“…… What nonsense are you talking about? An inexplicable smile appeared on the old man's face: "He's just an ordinary ......"

"Feynman, Feynman, after so many years, I didn't expect you to become such a person." The young-looking man interrupted the other again: "What are you hiding about?" Prevaricating an old friend with clumsy rhetoric? Or rather...... Do you think the magic fluctuations in his body can hide from my eyes? ”

"Humph!"

Leaving a heavy cold snort, the man swept away Duan Qing's body with his clothes, and then walked straight in the direction of the gate, leaving the place without looking back, as if he didn't even mean to say a word. Duan Qing, who was puzzled, had not yet recovered from this series of changes, and the old man behind him muttered again: "This bastard ......"

“…… Is he your friend? ”

“…… No, he's not. The old man closed his eyes and replied, "He is...... A book lover, a person who comes to this place every day to read books. ”

I don't look like it at all...... Duan Qing's heart thought silently.

"Tania's library is visited by countless book lovers every day." The old man explained to himself: "If you are interested, you can also come and see it often, maybe...... I was able to make a lot of friends. ”

"Really? That's really ...... Belch. Habitually smiling, Duan Qing, who recalled the man's expression just now, finally wilted: "Forget it, you are all high-level intellectuals, and you are not the same kind of people as us adventurers......

"Hehe, that's fine." The old man who looked at the other party shook his head: "You came early today."

"Ah, that ......" so Duan Qing scratched his head again: "Didn't you agree yesterday, so I wanted to come over early to complete the task, ahhahaha......"

"It's a pity." The old man showed a smile with Hexi, but the next moment he said something that shocked Duan Qing incomparably: "But the task of sorting out the bookshelves ...... It's been done by someone else. ”

"What!? Who did it? ”

"A few other adventurers." The old man's beard curled: "They also received a task in the association, and just now...... They've done their job, so ......"

"I'm unemployed?" Duan Qing slapped his hands on the counter: "Where's the money?" Our money was given to them too? ”

"Oh, we're not going to do anything like unpaid wages." The old man smiled and said, "That salary...... Nature is meant to be given to them. ”

"Holy, you...... Uh, no. The angry Duan Qing just wanted to glare at him, but he was defeated by the old man's mysterious smile: "You, you do this...... Isn't it a good fit? ”

"yes." The old man leaned his back to the back of the seat and nodded, "So ......"

"I've got a new job for you." He said, "Do you want to ...... Think about it? ”
