"You've kept us waiting too long. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the southwest of Tania City, in the Dignity Tavern of Commoners, Duan Qing was sitting in a corner of this tavern at this time, talking with a guy with a combed back as if no one was around. As the name suggests, the Commoner's Dignity Tavern uses a spacious hall that stretches to the end to show its purpose of equality, and not even the private rooms of the high-end taverns can be found here. However, this does not mean that this is a completely civilian place, because on the inside of the tavern, in the corner of the hall, the lavishly decorated sofas and beautiful sculptures and ornaments separate this place from the other wine tables, forming an area similar to luxurious seating. The usual hustle and bustle in the tavern was filtered aside by some wooden shelves and potted plants that did not fit the style here at all, and through their gaps, Duan Qing could still see the dance hall in the center of the tavern, the floor that had been trampled smooth and oily, and ...... Standing between the floor and the ceiling, there are several wooden columns with unique shapes.

I hope that the purpose of these pillars is not what I imagined - this is the thought that came to Duan Qing's mind when he first saw the layout of these dance halls.

In the afternoon, it was not the time when the tavern was busy, so Duan Qing had the opportunity to enjoy the seats here, and at the same time, he could also enjoy the tavern atmosphere that could be seen from the luxurious location. Although there were only a few cleaning staff working in the central dance hall at this time, Duan Qing, who was sitting on the side of a circle of sofas, still did not hide his admiration for the surrounding arrangements, and at the same time ignored the slightly angry eyes of Wiesel, who was sitting opposite him: "When I was in Fenghua Town before, you made me wait for a long time...... Now that you're in Tania, you've made me wait so long......"

"What kind of grudge do you have against our shadows?"

"How can you say so exaggerated."

Duan Qing waved his hands meaninglessly: "It's just that I've been busy lately, so I've forgotten about your affairs, don't be so bitter and hateful......"

"It's been about a month since my men found you."

Still in his black suit, Wiesel straightened the hair on his head, and seemed to have given up on making any comments on Duan Qing's attitude: "If my subordinates didn't lie to me, he should have told you at that time...... Come here to find me. ”

"Oh, really?" Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "Then I can only ...... Hopefully, it's still too late. ”

In the silent hall, the man looked at Duan Qing with a scrutinizing eye for a while, and then put down his folded hands: "Whew...... That's it. ”

"It's already over anyway, and you're not a member of our Shadow Society." He sighed: "So...... It's better to look at the present. ”

"It's a useful philosophy to live in the moment." Duan Qing nodded: "Forget it, we are also old acquaintances, although we have nothing to thank you for the last time......

"Are you trying to ignore ......" Wiesel pointed to Xiao Hongchen, who was laughing with the maid sitting nearby, "Is that person's business?"

“…… Well, it was also a coincidence that we met him later. ”

Duan Qing retracted his eyelids: "Then they converged again."

"Really?" Wiesel looked at Duan Qing with lowered eyes for a while: "But...... Personally, that's not all that I've been affected. ”

"Thanks to you, I was transferred out of Windflower Town and came to this place." He gestured around: "I hold one acre and three points of land in Tania, and take a group of subordinates who have not grown up to fight against the wolf-like enemies here...... Hey. ”

"I don't know if I've risen or dropped ...... here."

"Uh...... Is it as miserable as you say? Duan Qing touched his nose in embarrassment: "You still have enemies in the shadow society?"

"Our enemies are all over the world, in fact...... Every commission we accept will have a large number of hidden opponents behind it. Wiesel said in a deep voice: "So one of our tenets is to strive to serve every customer, and at the same time...... Ignoring who they once were. ”

"Sounds really good." Duan Qing clapped his hands: "But ...... When the enemy is all over the world, that's when you have no one to beat, isn't it? ”

"Less of those flattering words, adventurer."

Wiesel crossed his arms: "The trouble we got from last time is not over, and then we are released pigeons...... And now you want to ask us? Do you think our shadows will be anything, a branch of the Adventure Party Guild? ”

"Don't say such sad things, it's not like I don't pay......" Looking at the other party's expression, Duan Qing immediately changed his words: "Or pay something else, for example...... Haven't you been looking for me? What do you want me to do? ”

"It's a new phase." Wiesel said with a blank face, "You've missed time."

"Don't say that, there must be new challenges, right?" Duan Qing stretched out a hand: "The current situation in the principality is so grim, you must need the help of our adventurers, right?" Although it is not as good as those people who break the wind and thunder, but a small team also has the advantage of a small team, right? ”

"You've been trying to find me...... There must be a reason why you want my help, right? ”

"Hmmm......"

Withdrawing all his gaze, Wiesel was silent for a while before speaking again: "Difficult...... Naturally, there is, but ......"

"Can you afford it?"

He looked at Duan Qing and the blue-haired woman who was sitting on the sofa not far away, pouring herself a drink as if she had nothing to do with it, and the whisper in his mouth was like a demon's warning, but Duan Qing still looked relaxed, as if he didn't notice the danger: "Don't worry, we adventurers...... Always very strong. ”

"We even dare to face dangerous peaks, abysses, empires, and dragons, what else...... Is it something we don't dare to face? ”

"Good."

Looking at Duan Qing's relaxed expression, Wiesel nodded slowly, and then, as if playing a trick, he took out a black envelope from his arms: "Since you have such an awareness, I will take this matter ...... I'll take care of it. ”

Talking so much nonsense...... So you're ready for a long time!

There was a wild roar in his heart, but Duan Qing on the surface still took the envelope with a smile on his face: "Okay, no problem."

"I haven't received a detailed report on the matter of the Fars Fortress, but...... I heard that Yang from the intelligence department seemed to be furious yesterday. Wiesel stood up and gestured to Duan Qing: "You adventurers, you really work hard enough."

"Is that a compliment?" Duan Qing shook his head and said, "It's already a very good thing that I can come back alive."

"Oh, congratulations, would you like to have a drink here?"

"No need, our party has other things to do......"

"Regarding the work on your hands, there will be someone from us who will contact you, and I hope you can ...... Arrived on time. ”

Giving an inexplicable look, Wiesel turned and walked towards the shadow of the tavern: "I hope ...... too"

"You'll be able to come back alive."

His eyelids jumped twice again, and Duan Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't plan to respond to anything.

"Ah, yes."

The maid who was still harassed by Xiao Hongchen in the distance had already stood up with a smile, and the whispering stream sitting not far away had also returned to her usual calm appearance, and Wiesel, who was half of her body in the shadows, suddenly turned around: "About that Anvina......"

Duan Qing turned his head to look at him.

"She's in the Ucles neighborhood, you can go and inquire."

With this final message, the black figure slowly disappeared into the dark shadow of the tavern, leaving only the still quiet air, only the expressionless faces of the bar owner and the waiter.

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

"I've been selling for a long time, but I still haven't sold myself......"

Outside the door of the tavern, Duan Qing, who had a bitter face, shook his head and said, while looking at the crowd walking back and forth on the street, stretching his body that had been stiffened before. However, the blue-haired woman on the side didn't seem to be very satisfied with the result of the meeting just now, she held on to the hilt of her sword, and her voice was also a little displeased: "That guy...... The people of the Shadow Society are the same everywhere, do they like to calculate others so much? ”

"The dark organizations are all such virtuous, and the one we encountered is already good......" Duan Qing said lazily, and then suddenly realized something: "Hey, have you dealt with the Shadow Society before?"

"Someone from Liberty City who has seen them." "And," replied, "and...... That place is the best place for their development. ”

"Oh? What do you mean? ”

“…… Get a chance to go there and you'll understand. The woman shook her head slowly, as if she wasn't going to say more: "That's how we took this task?" I don't even know the situation and the objectives of the mission......"

"It's commonly known as a random task, but it's not like I haven't seen it before." Twisting the envelope in his hand, Duan Qing smiled and received it in his arms: "Besides, with this thing...... I'll be able to give an account to Mengzhu, so that she won't say that I don't want to find a job......"

"I'm afraid of this job...... It's too big. ”

"Isn't this just an opportunity to prove that we are capable of it?" Duan Qing patted his chest and made a strong move: "Although the price is a bit big, but for the sake of that down-and-out captain who sacrificed heroically, it's nothing to exert a little effort...... Laugh at Hongchen! Come here! ”

Still jumping around in front of Ning Lan in the secret language, Xiao Hongchen, whose mouth had not stopped, finally leaned over when he heard the voice: "What's the matter, boss?"

"Where is the Ukles community?" Duan Qing asked, "You should know this time, right......?"

"Ah, you know, it's not far from us......"

"Go out of this street, turn onto Yarl Street, and then go down to the end of the Parliament...... You can see it. ”

It was not Xiao Hongchen who answered this sentence with a smile, nor Ning Lan, who was smiling and following behind a few people, but a passerby who suddenly appeared in front of them. Wearing a black dress, a black bow tied on his chest, and a black top hat on his head, this guy who looked like a banquet host and a band conductor politely put away his black cane, and then straightened up in Duan Qing's stunned gaze.

"It's located southeast of the council hall." He blinked, then added.

"Are you ......?"

As the sun was approaching, Duan Qing looked at this person who seemed to be an NPC in the free world, and asked with some hesitation, "That magician?"

“…… It seems that you know my name, what an honor. ”

The magician he had seen on the square of Yarle Avenue before, Shi Shiran put his right hand on his chest and said, "I guess you have seen my performance?" That's great, and if you have the chance, be sure to attend the Principality's annual Harvest Festival, where there will be even bigger performances...... Ahh

A sigh of praise came from the magician's mouth, and then Duan Qing somewhat understood why this guy who suddenly appeared in front of them showed such friendly kindness: "This is...... Whisper Miss Ninglan, right? You are still as beautiful today as ever......"

"Hello Mr. Rex." The maid smiled and said, "We just passed by your performance, but unfortunately there are too many people there......"

"Oh, no, that's a pity, but to be able to meet you beautiful again must be a blessing from fate."

“…… If you want to see me, you can always come to the Adventurers' Association......"

"Really, that's great! But...... It's getting late, I don't know if Miss Ning Lan has time, we can have a drink together......"

"I finally understood...... Why did Ning Lan know about the existence of such a number one person? ”

On the side of the road, Duan Qing, who seemed to be ignored by the other party, whispered helplessly: "It turned out that the other party took the initiative to send it to the door......"

"Wouldn't that be nice? Our intelligence could have become much more. She laughed in a low voice: "This is our woman's natural advantage......

"It's also a natural nuisance." Duan Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth: "I can imagine the picture of being regarded as a public enemy by all men when I go out in the future, even NPCs are no exception......"

"What? Are you not satisfied? The corners of his mouth couldn't help but overflow with a smile, and he still said with a straight face: "And not every man is the same as you, for example, the one in front of you can only see Ning Lan, and he doesn't even look at me......"

"Well, maybe he's seen through your wild heart...... Belch. ”

Feeling the murderous aura of the woman next to him again, Duan Qing hurriedly raised a hand: "That's because he has eyes but no beads, and he has eyes but no beads, right?" Our lady Lou is so cute......"

"Humph......"

The conversation between a man and a woman on both sides was carried out briefly in their respective atmospheres, leaving only Xiao Hongchen, who had not been added on both sides for a long time with his bare arms, kicking the gravel in the middle with a bored face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. However, time didn't make him wait too long, and Ning Lan, who kept his usual smile, sent the magician away with some high-sounding reason, and then pulled him back to Duan Qing's side: "Sir, do we still want to continue?"

"Really fast......"

Looking up at the sky, Duan Qing shook his hand helplessly: "The southeast direction of the council hall...... We still have to walk some distance, are we still in time? ”

"Because of the recent tensions, the Principality has recently imposed a curfew." "Few players will obey their orders," he whispered, "but ...... The aborigines of Tania are still very obedient. ”

"In other words, that so-called community will be closed at night, right?"

Duan Qing looked at the others: "Okay, anyway, I've been on the road for half a day today, and I've had enough of being frightened...... Oh no, I'm too tired to do it, let's rest for the night, and then we'll do it again tomorrow. Not...... Is there anything to do in Tania lately? Let's go have fun in the evening......"

"What a fun place to look! Big brother, you're outdated! ”

In Xiao Hongchen's sudden outburst of screams, the blue-haired woman looked at Duan Qing with a puzzled expression, and shook her head after a long time: "It seems that you really gave up...... It's our biggest entertainment for a while. ”

"You mean ......"

"Watch the game."

Ignoring Duan Qing's bitter melon-like face, he stroked his long hair blown by the wind, and then laughed. (To be continued.) )
