On January 6, 795 AH, the capital of the Duchy of Ernifia, Tania. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

“...... The war in Kosma County will be dealt with like this for the time being, and the rest will be left to you, Pamir. ”

The circular chamber was filled with representatives from all regions of the Principality. They are holding an emergency meeting to discuss the war ahead with the Empire.

Located on the northwestern border of the Duchy of Elnefia, Kosma is an area bordering the Frey Empire, where conflicts began and gradually turned into wars. In just a few days, several towns in the county were lost, which showed that the Empire was well prepared for this war, but also implied that its own army was still lacking in strength.

After all, the garrison over there was facing the vanguard of the Snow Wolf Army sent by the Empire - that was one of the two elites of the Frey Empire.

But for President Hossman, he has become accustomed to such things. In the past ten years, there has been constant friction between the empire and them, and there have been several large and small wars, and the reasons for fighting are even more bizarre. The most peculiar reason was that the Empire had found some forgeries from the birthday gifts of Queen Fima, the wife of King Derainier, and then they claimed that they had been smuggled from another border county of the Principality, County Coca.

Clean fucking nonsense...... But even that time, it ended in defeat.

President Hossman sat in the center of the round table in the chamber and rubbed his gray hair as he watched the lawmakers still debating the decision on the resolution.

He is sixty-seven years old today, and his life has entered the twilight of his life, but his opponent, the current king of the Empire, Drenier? Frey? Kadreft, even after his birthday this year, has just turned forty-eight years old. Perhaps he could have gained some upper hand in the diplomacy between the two countries by virtue of his experience, but that was only a little bit - by this time, he had to admit that the lion-like emperor who sat in Redcar's palace did have the heart and bearing of his ancestors.

He must find a suitable successor, otherwise what will the future of the Principality be when he leaves office...... He closed his eyes and stopped looking at the chattering council in front of him.

The councillors in front of them, representatives of the various counties that make up the principality, come here in a kind of cycle like elections, form the center of power in the country, and determine the direction of the country. In a sense, I have been sitting in this position for almost ten years, and I still have to look at their faces in some things.

This is the power structure of the principality.

He slowly opened his eyes through a slit and looked at the middle-aged man who was sitting at the head of the seat. The man wore a neat back, a meticulously organized formal suit, and a white handkerchief of flowers in a black pocket on his chest.

Parliament of the Principality, Speaker Pamir? Lester.

He sat quietly in his place, his hands crossed on the large round table, without saying a word, with a serious expression, as if he were listening carefully to what the people below were talking about. But Hossman knew that the Speaker was tired of such pointless arguments.

There are many reasons why the Duchy has been on the back foot since the flames of war raged in Kosma, but what is the use of discussing them now? Now they should focus on how to deal with the next battle, although they don't have many options right now......

That Lion Emperor...... Hum.

"Your Excellency." A neutral and deep voice interrupted the president's thoughts, and the old man opened his eyes completely, and at the same time dispelled the impurities in his eyes, and a standard peaceful smile hung on his face: "Is there anything else, Your Excellency Pamir?" ”

"Something seems to be going on in the southeast of the principality." The meticulous man was folding the secret report that had just come from his subordinates, and then put it on the left hand side: "The Emerald Forest of Xifeng County seems to have undergone a change. ”

"Oh?" The old man's smile did not change, and he motioned for the speaker to continue.

"According to the report of the sentinels stationed on the border of Windflower Town, a huge pillar of green light appeared in the direction of the Emerald Forest yesterday afternoon, and according to the report, the soldiers could clearly see that the pillar of light was soaring into the sky, and it lasted for a long time."

Hossman was silent, as if considering the meaning behind the matter.

"The outpost is at the foot of the Little Anchidal Mountains, about 12 Delhi from the village of Greenstone." Pamir's voice continued, but it was probably beyond the scope of the report: "If the report is true, the pillar of light is probably located in the center of the forest, then the scene must be very ...... from a distance"

“...... Spectacular. He paused, then smiled.

"Looks like you find this interesting, your Excellency." The conversation between the two was not loud, and it did not come far in the noisy hall of the round table. However, some interested congressmen have begun to notice the abnormality on the president's side, and their eyes have begun to glance at the two of them.

"The central area of the Emerald Forest is very mysterious, and the reports of the Principality in recent years have hardly explained the situation inside." Pamir straightened his serious face again, and his mustache curled slightly on his tense lips: "As far as I know, most of the creatures in that forest are strange and ferocious, and most of the deaths of those who go deep into it are due to this, and there are a few more cases...... It is said to have been killed by unknown persons. ”

"The survivors have different descriptions of the murderer, and there are signs of suspected adventurers' murder, but ...... Not sure. Pamir finished all these things in one breath, and then looked at the president's dignified face: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, Your Excellency...... That place is still unknown to us, and now this thing, there must be ...... behind it."

"Don't worry, Rest." The old man said softly, "You may not know that the two sisters of the Council of Seven came to visit me the other day. ”

Pamir's eyes narrowed. There is only one on this continent that can be called the Council of Seven. And the sisters among them......

"They're here to explain the situation to me - the Restorers heard the news and infiltrated the Emerald Forest, where they track it down and ...... on the other."

The old man paused: "It's going too...... See if it's true or not. ”

"That is, behind this matter are their ......" Pamir's brows furrowed even tighter: "With all due respect, this is too much, this is contempt for the sovereignty of the principality......"

"You know, dear Speaker." The old man shook his head with a wry smile: "Even you and I can only make some suggestions to people like them, if we interfere with their decisions...... That's impossible. ”

He spread his hands: "They don't listen." ”

Pamir's mouth pursed into a line, and Horsman raised his hands and made a downward gesture: "Don't be so angry, after all, we haven't learned the truth of the whole thing yet, I don't think these things were done by the two young ladies, I believe in their character, hey......"

"How many of the people who survived that battle were not reassuring......

Noticing that the discussion in the hall was getting quieter and quieter, Horsman raised his head and found that the discussion of the councillors had stopped for some time, and most of them were looking at the two of them, with an undisguised curiosity in their eyes.

In the rumors outside, the relationship between the two highest figures in the principality seems to be not very good, but looking at today's situation, those rumors seem to be just rumors......

"Oh, everyone......" the old man smiled, then stretched out his left hand and motioned to the speaker sitting at the head of the council, "Maybe you are tired of what you just said. It just so happened that our Speaker brought us a new message......"

Gradually, the whole thing became known to all the councillors, and then spread outward like a storm in the Emerald Tower, until it spread throughout the free continent.

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

The huge green pillar of light in the Emerald Forest is certainly not only seen by the sentinels at the foot of the Little Anchidal Mountain. The entire village of Greenstone, and even further afield, saw the miracle of the fire on the afternoon of January 5th.

As a result, some messages are delivered to the capital faster than the principality's intelligence system - players can go offline, and the speed of transmission is of course much faster than theirs.

Players located in Greenstone Village immediately put this kind of big news on the major forums. Although there is no video function, and there is no real evidence to prove the authenticity of the miracle they described, there is probably nothing wrong with this matter with so many people talking about it.

Frey Empire, southwest, province of Esdara. It is a rich land in the Central Plains, and it is also the border between the Frey Empire and the Duchy of Elnefia. Estalla is famous for its carbinos and sapphire crystals, and its vast plains make it a haven for all kinds of crops. With the gradual development of the province in recent years, even the farmers who face the loess all day long have begun to gradually get rid of poverty and move towards a prosperous road.

But today, it's on the front lines of war.

The small town of Divi, located in front of the province of Estala, is the transportation hub of this area, so it is natural that it has also become a military town. Nowadays, the main battlefield is located in the territory of the other side, and this has naturally become a place to ensure logistics and the export of troops.

Freeflying, leading many of the men in the Wings of Liberty Guild, is now sitting in the tavern of this town, keeping an eye on the news from the front.

"If the attack on Baker City goes well, the Empire should be able to stabilize in this area." With a note in his hand, Wings of Freedom pointed to a map on the table and said to the other members, "When the time comes, it's our turn." ”

"Even so, it is estimated that most of the tasks given to us above are trivial things such as escorting baggage and passing information, and it is estimated that even the matter of escorting will not be handed over to us......" The iron plate man named "Half a box of cigarettes" said the iron plate man named Half a box of cigarettes, his tone was full of boredom and depression: "This is not the battlefield I want, we have been like this for several days......"

"What are you anxious about!" The female player named Gardenia then said, as if the two of them were born rivals: "Look at the players who ran to the battlefield recklessly before, how miserable the end was, either run over by the NPC army, or captured by the Imperial army in the rear as a disruptor, our guild has already lost thousands of people......"

"We're not their weak chickens......."

"No, the gap between the regular army and the rabble is still very large." The white-robed scholar sitting on the other side said lightly, and then pushed his monocle: "Don't look at the Duchy's side is retreating, if we are against their army, it is estimated that ...... Still can't beat it. ”

"Hey, don't be so cautious all the time, military advisor......"

"I'm telling the truth." The white-robed scholar's voice was still flat, but when it reached the ears of a few people around him, it always made people feel very convincing: "You know. The NPCs in this game are generally stronger than the players, so we don't want to be hostile to any NPC forces on the free continent except for risking encounters with wild beasts......"

"Unless you have to." After a pause, he added.

"Okay, you don't have to worry, Iron Plate." Freedom Fly continued: "After the task is assigned, we will naturally know." And ......"

His voice was lowered: "Even if we are assigned an inconsequential task, we can find a way to reap the benefits......"

"Use your brains......" he tapped his head.

Except for the white-robed scholar, everyone else laughed under their breath.

"By the way, have you all read the news on the forum, that Emerald Forest." Gardenia suddenly said that she usually likes to look through new things on various online platforms, so this time she was the first to find out.

"Oh, that's it, of course I saw ......," Freedom Fly said lightly.

Also at the top of the Wings of Freedom, several people present knew about the fact that they had sent the strongest team to Greenstone Village. Later, except for the snow spirit phantom ice, the rest of the people died and came back, although that Liangchen Meiyu explained the facts more clearly, but with the understanding of him by flying freely, there must be an ingredient in it. So for the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice who has not yet returned, he has actually given up, and there was a period of time when he secretly resented the other party's arrogance, acting on his own for some strange goal, and not even listening to the interests of the guild and his own orders......

But after knowing the news, everything turned into an indescribable taste.

"That...... President. Iron plate knows some things about flying freely, so he can guess a little bit of his current mood: "Anyway, this is also a good thing......"

"Ah, that's probably a good thing......" Freefly replied, "We'll know when she comes back......"

With a wave of his hand, he swept the wine away from the tavern, as if trying to dispel his mood.

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

Fire January 6, morning, at the entrance of the northern village of Greenstone.

"Hey, aren't you really going to go with us......" Mengzhu and Ah Niu were standing together chatting. Liu Qingniu refused Duan Qing's invitation when he was in the previous period - he wanted to get out of the novice village, but he didn't want to go alone, so he wanted to find a few like-minded people.

The unlucky city was evil, and a few people didn't find him in the village, and they didn't know where he had gone. The little girl happily agreed to Duan Qing's invitation, but Ah Niu made the decision to refuse.

"Yes, through this journey, I feel that there are still a lot of gaps between me and everyone. On this journey, I barely helped you, and I was taken care of so much by you, so I ......" He pressed one hand on the other arm: "Brother on the road, the most important thing is to be righteous!" You have helped me so much this time, and when I become stronger in the future, I will repay you a thousand times more! ”

His tone was sincere and firm, and the kind little girl was already moved to tears: "Ah Niu, in the future...... You must come to us......"

"Of course, you haven't paid me the salary this time, my father said that the wages of migrant workers cannot be arrears...... Ouch ......"

"You'd better die!" The little girl knocked on his head, and Ah Niu didn't resist, just covered his head and laughed on the side.

In other words, I don't seem to have heard of this thing as a migrant worker in this era, what is it?

The ignorant Ah Niu still hasn't figured it out.

"I said......" The little girl looked ahead, and her voice became smaller: "The two of them, there won't be any more fighting......

"Well, I don't think so." Ah Niu also looked at the entrance of the village in front of him: "Everyone is brothers, how can they fight......

"It's hard to say, it's happened before...... Things ......" mentioned what happened yesterday, and the little girl felt incredible again, and her face turned red again.

Yesterday afternoon at the top of the Emerald Tower, after Duan Qing broke through from the black canopy, he didn't see any skyrocketing green pillars of light, but a scene full of rubble and messes. The ceiling was blown off, and on top of the tower, which exposed the sky, a tattered stone pedestal sat in the middle, on which sat a pale skeleton with a jaw propped up.

Hello, Mez Clarda? Lord Staraf Duan Qing looked at the skeleton sitting on the throne in front of him, stroked his chest and saluted, and then looked at ...... The people who sat down all around.

Mengzhu was holding a cloth bag, vigorously filling it with broken stones; Liu Qingniu was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and he was putting old clothes on his body that he didn't know where to turn them out; Xue Lingbing looked at his hands blankly, not knowing what he was doing before; As for Broken Mountain, he was already lying on the ground, unconscious.

Ah Niu was still looking around in a daze, not knowing what was going on, the little girl blinked, and then her face suddenly turned red, she threw down the stone in her hand, and then slowly put her two little hands behind her back, bowing her head like a child who had done something wrong. Xue Ling's reaction was much greater—she picked up the exquisitely shaped long sword, and slashed it with a sword at Duan Qing, who was smiling.

"My pages! My reels! You give it back to me! Give it back! ”

"Hey, be sober, it's all fake, you will only pit your own people when you take it back...... Hey, don't fight, your own people don't ......"

After a moment of confusion, everyone realized that they were standing at the top of the Emerald Forest, overlooking the forest for what it really was—the ocean was still green, but now the foundations of it had been completely changed.

Duan Qing and the others stood there, looking at the stone forest composed of large and small stone pillars named jade by magicians thousands of years ago, and were speechless for a long time. In the end, it was Duan Qing who touched his chin and made a concluding speech.

"Hmm...... Now it's really the Emerald Forest. ”

In the air below, two figures, one blue and one red, were slowly rising, gradually flying in front of them, and then slowly falling.

"Adventurers, it looks like you're working hard." Christine's voice is always elegant and beautiful: "Thank you...... Fight bravely. ”

"You all look lively though." She followed up again, and then covered her mouth and snickered: "Oh hehehehe......"

"Uh, the previous enemy ......" Duan Qing quickly asked after stopping the black-cloaked woman who was about to attack again.

"Oh, Convina, he's gone." Christine stopped laughing in a queenly manner: "The secret of this tower has been revealed, probably because I think there is nothing to be gained...... Speaking of which, you saved both of our lives. ”

"Hehehehe, you are laughing, hehehehe......" Duan Qing smiled in agreement, and then looked at the blue-robed woman in front of him dumbfounded, took her sister's hand, and made a salute to Duan Qing and the others again.

That was the etiquette she had done when they first met, but at this time, this beautiful figure of red and blue, like a mirror, still shocked the others present.

Xue Lingphantasm put away her long sword in embarrassment, and she didn't know what to say, and Mengzhu on the other side was already at a loss: "Two, two big sisters, no, don't ...... like this"

"We didn't do anything...... she whispered sheepishly, looking down.

"Alright, several, leave the rest to our Mage Council to deal with, if you don't mind, we hope to get out of here sooner." Christine smiled again: "By the way...... Study those stones. ”

"I know ......" Duan Qing covered his forehead: "But I'm also tired, you guys...... Uh......"

"I don't have a problem with that."

"It's all up to you."

"I, I'm ...... too"

"Heh......" Duan Qing smiled: "Then ...... Let's go. ”

When the crisis passed, the two great magicians no longer spared their magic powers, and carried them all down from the heights. In the process of descending, Duan Qing and the others discovered that the section of the endless staircase they had climbed before was actually a huge rock.

"This long cylindrical stone is now only empty on the surface, and the inside is hollow." Christine explained with a smile, "Probably something on this tower evolved. ”

"Well, that's ......," Duan Qing said.

"What, what are you thinking, are there any questions?" Seeing Duan Qing's appearance, Christine asked.

"It's nothing, hehe......" Duan Qing replied, and then his voice became lower: "It's not important now......"

"According to my preliminary induction with Freya, the scope of this stone forest has spread very large, and it is close to Greenstone Village." Christine pointed in the direction she came, "I have a question for you, when were you...... Found a problem? ”

"When will it ......" Duan Qing remembered the scene of the wild boar enchanting back into the woods when he first entered the game: "I probably felt that something was wrong when I came here......

"That's ...... It's really early......"

"yes...... Hey? ”

Several people have fallen to the side of the river that flows to the Emerald Tower, and on both sides of the stone road next to the river, there are huge green stone pillars in their original shapes, although there is no "canopy", but it still covers the sky and the sun, which is shocking. But everyone's attention was attracted by the man standing in front of them.

It was an illusion, to be exact.

"I'm leaving." The uncle dressed on the farm took off his straw hat and showed his vicissitudes of life: "Thank you for everything." ”

He carried a nail rake and turned around and walked towards the upper reaches of the river, quite like the second senior brother in an ancient TV series. But none of the people present could laugh out loud - as he departed, light and shadow appeared from his feet, and then turned into dust like sand, slowly drifting into the air.

As he walked away from the crowd, the scattered light and shadow gradually spread, and soon, his legs disappeared, and it looked like a figure was floating forward.

"Uncle......" Mengzhu couldn't help but shed crystal tears: "You also saved our ......"

"Hey!" Duan Qing suddenly took a step forward and shouted forward.

The figure floating forward gradually became transparent, but it still did not look back.

"Your weapon!"

The dust melted by the light had spread to his chest, reflecting the colored light, and he took a few more steps before coming to a stop.

"That'......" he turned his head, but a colorful light covered his face: "That thing ......"

"I'll give it to you."

The sound drifted in the wind, and the figure finally disappeared like a burning torch.

Duan Qing was stunned for a long time, and then laughed: "Hmph, hehe...... That's really, something to be thankful for......"

He took out the short sword that had changed his appearance and gave him the steel ambition, and sighed in his heart. Presumably, when Brother Tie gave him this short sword at will, he would never have thought that there would be such an unfolding.

【Phil's Short Sword (Finesse)】

[Weapon Power: Stronger]

[Required Strength: 15, Dexterity: 8]

[Strength +2, Dexterity +1]

[Special Effect: Your stabbing will be charged.] 】

["The standard saber of the unknown era, after thousands of years of corrosion, its edge has been covered with dust for a long time, but it still retains considerable power. ”】

["On the side of the gauntlet of the hilt, a line of small characters is engraved: 'I would like to award this sword to the veteran of the Second Army of the Empire: Phil.' He performed numerous feats in the Battle of Galadari, and he deserves to be honored. - Imperial Admiral Wooshink"]

"Sure enough...... They are all people with stories. Duan Qing remembered the old description of this short sword, and grinned and hung it back on his waist: "But you can finally rest in peace......"

He stroked his chest and saluted, and as he moved, everyone behind him also saluted, showing their respect for the uncle who had become a vanished soul.

"If you don't mind, can you tell our sisters about your adventures in the tower......

"Of course, my pleasure, Your Excellency." Duan Qing replied: "But there really isn't much to talk about......"

"Let's talk about it first, don't mention it." Suddenly a voice shouted from behind.

"Yes, yes, don't say mine!"

While laughing, the group walked along the river bank to the direction they came, and the long journey of the Emerald Forest ended like this.

After they left, twilight slowly descended on the place, dyeing the Emerald Tower and the huge stone forest around it a dusk color. The wind blew through the ground, rolling up layers of yellow sand, making the place even more desolate, and a figure emerged from the dark shadows of the stone forest, and then walked towards the tower, which had revealed the ancient once and for all: "They are gone. ”

"Let's go inside." Another voice echoed, but only the figure of the previous person could be seen around him. The man seemed accustomed to such a situation, and paced slowly and easily to the side of the pocket moat, looking below the water: "I guess it is down here." ”

"Yes."

"Let's go, hopefully...... Stuff is still there. ”

Slowly, the figure disappeared into the water.

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

Capital of the Principality of Elnia, the city of Tania, the tavern "Dignity of the Commoners".

A burly figure pushed open the door to the tavern, looked around, and then walked in a certain direction. At the round table over there, a man who was not stout but had a well-proportioned figure sat there.

"Dead back?" The man poured himself a drink, and did not look at the burly man who came over, but only asked the sentence when the other party sat down.

"Death is back." Sitting across from him was the Broken Mountain. He picked up a wine glass on the table, filled it with spirits, and drank it down.

"Hah......," he sighed, and sighed, "the strongest ale, I haven't tasted it for days." ”

The man didn't speak.

"Well, I know you're not satisfied, big brother." Broken Mountain pouted: "The gang of Wings of Freedom actually mixed up on the side of the empire, and when they heard about this war, the principality was below, ......"

He picked up the flask in the middle and poured himself again: "Cheap them......"

"You know that's not what I'm trying to ask." The eldest brother, who was sitting on the opposite side of the broken mountain, finally raised his head and looked at him with a steady gaze: "Let's talk about it......"

His hair was the same short black as Broken Mountain, his thin face was covered with resolute lines, and a scar ran from the top of the eyelid of his right eye to the bottom of his eyelid, and those who had seen him before did not know whether he looked like this himself, or if he deliberately "pinched" his face like this when establishing the figure.

However, if Duan Qing is here, he will tell you with great certainty: this is his true appearance.

The eldest of the three brothers of the broken family, the president of the Jianghu Guild, broke the wind and thunder.

"Don't worry, we've got one night." Duan Shanyue ignored his eldest brother's attitude, because he knew that his brother's character was calm and measured, not impatient or impatient, and the years had carved him into more tenacity, so how could he be in a hurry for this little time. He took another sip of wine, spat out a satisfied sip of wine, then wiped his mouth, and then said slowly: "First of all, I committed suicide, hey, there's no faster way to get back to the city......"

"In other words, there is nothing to be gained from this trip, is that what it means......" Breaking Wind Thunder quickly grasped the point.

"On the face of it, yes." Broken Mountain admitted indifferently: "But...... Actually, this time, there are a lot of gains. ”

Broken Wind Thunder didn't speak, his eyes were motioning for the other party to continue.

"Tut-tut, big brother is big brother, all kinds of faces don't change......" Broken Wind Thunder laughed hesitantly: "I don't know if you will keep this expression after hearing what I want to say......"

He restrained his smile and said, "I saw him." ”

There is no difference between "he" and "she" in pronunciation, and even if you see the literal "he", you won't know who it refers to at the first time, but Broken Wind Thunder knows.

He knew immediately who this "he" meant, so his face changed.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Hahahaha......" Broken Mountain pointed at each other and laughed evilly.

"He's really back......" Breaking Wind Thunder said to himself, ignoring his brother's ridicule.

"I've tempted, it should be him." Duan Shanyue took another big sip of strong wine, and then slammed the cup on the table, as if he was venting the stuffiness in his chest: "I'll tell you, and then you can judge whether it's him ......"

"That's how he let you go?" Broken Wind Thunder asked suddenly.

"Yes...... Broken Mountain Yue was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes began to glow with reminiscence: "He...... It's changed a lot, and it probably has something to do with what happened three years ago......"

Tranquility lasted between the round tables for a few seconds, and then Broken Mountain's voice sounded again: "When I was about to leave for the last, I asked him if he had anything to say for you......"

Broken Wind Thunder looked at him.

He said...... Hey......" Broken Mountain laughed: "Let you wash your neck and wait for him." ”

"Hmph...... Hehe...... Hahahaha......" Broken Wind Thunder was silent for a moment, and then slowly burst out laughing. The laughter ignored the astonished gazes of the taverns, swept through all the corners of the hall, and then spread out of the tavern and into the humid air of the capital.

"Interesting......" At the end, a word appeared as the laughter faded, only this time, it became the whisper of Broken Wind and Thunder himself.

"This feeling...... I miss it so much......"

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

"Hey, the sentence you asked Broken Mountain to take before was...... Are you sure? ”

"It must have scared him, and I don't have any ambitions...... Hey, you want to use me as a gunman again? I've already done it to you once, don't try to trick me again......"

"When did I lie to you, it's all your willing...... Also, have I begged you? ”

At the entrance of Greenstone Village, a woman named Snow Spirit Phantom Ice still hadn't taken off her black cloak, as if she didn't want to show her true face since her team was wiped out.

"Okay, okay, alas, so women......" Duan Qing put his hands behind his head and looked up at the sky: "Let's go, goodbye...... No, still don't say goodbye. ”

"Am I a scourge?" Xue Lingphantom Ice pointed at the tip of her nose, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was the first time Duan Qing had heard such a laugh from her - probably because the dust had fallen, so his mood was different.

"You ......" Xue Lingphantom Ice stopped talking, rubbing her hands a little crampedly. Duan Qing glanced at it a few times, and then said, "No." ”

"Who asked you this!" The woman yelled unexpectedly, and then lowered her head again: "That...... At that time, at the top of the tower......"

"What's wrong?"

"You should have a chance...... I mean, we were all trapped in our own world, and you were the only ones who escaped, so ......"

"So I had a chance to get that stone...... That's what you're asking, right? Duan Qing said.

The woman was no longer cramped, she raised her head and looked at Duan Qing, who was looking up at the south, trying to see something from his expression.

"The question is simple – there are so many factors that make that stone unstable, both in itself and in terms of what it involves." The man looked not far away, above the village of Greenstone, the smoke curling, quiet and serene, and the occasional child's laughter came from a corner and drifted farther away with the wind.

"So I don't want to take it out...... And you've probably played in the league, maybe not for long, but you've probably heard of that. He said slowly: "The power that belongs to you is the real power." ”

"I've always felt that it was a pretending sentence."

"But it makes a lot of sense."

"Okay, okay...... What else? ”

"That's it, and ......"

I like this village - this sentence Duan Qing did not say.

As if waking up from some kind of memory, he waved his hand a little irritably: "Let's go, let's go, if you don't go, the people of your guild will be in a hurry......"

"They're not in a hurry." Also looking at the snow spirit ice in this village, the mood seems to have become very good, and he doesn't seem to care about some dirty things behind his guild: "But what I said will still be done, and I will ...... when I go back."

"Oh, that's right, I don't have to." Duan Qing shook his head: "Mengzhu agreed to my invitation just now, and he will ...... in the future She's the one I'm covering. He pointed to the rear, and then found that the girl with the ponytail was chasing after a person named Liu Qingniu, so he took his finger back in a curtled manner: "Ahem, in short, if you want to trouble her in the future, you'd better think carefully about the consequences......"

"That's it......" For some reason, Xue Ling's original mood for the better gradually fell back, but after a moment, she laughed again: "That's fine, I'm relieved......"

"Have you ever taken care of her......

"Of course, I don't believe you dragged her over and asked."

"Okay." Duan Qing put away his joking expression and stretched out a hand: "I'm going to go here, I don't know when I'll see you again, so ...... Say goodbye. ”

Under the sunlight, Duan Qing's face seemed to be coated with a layer of light. Xue Ling's eyes were a little dazed, but his hand still stretched out: "Uh...... Good. ”

The two held hands together.

"I'll see you soon." Xue Lingphantom Ice blinked, brushed her slender eyelashes twice, then returned to normal, and took her hand back: "I am waiting for you in the capital of the Frei Empire, I believe...... You will definitely go. ”

"Huh...... I've always been confident. ”

In the breeze, the woman's cloak was blown up, driving the long black hair exposed under her to sway slightly in the air. She turned her head, then slowly turned around and walked under a certain tree, where a group of horses were tethered, silently grazing on the green grass on the ground.

This is already the few trees left around the village of Greenstone - the Emerald Forest in the south, as long as you go deep into Delhi, you will see mushrooming green stone forests, stretching southeast like a sea of stones, with no end in sight.

"Mo Shang Qingshan." The woman walked under the tree, pulled the reins, led the horse to the road leading to the outside of the village, and then suddenly turned back and shouted to Duan Qing.

Duan Qing kept looking at each other, and it seemed that he had never taken his eyes off.

"You...... Why help me? The woman looked into the other's eyes and hesitated for a while, but finally mustered up the courage to ask the long-hidden question.

“...... How to say it. Duan Qing scratched his right cheek with his fingers: "I've seen ...... You like this, I don't think people like you should be like this. ”

This sentence is not clear, but with Xue Ling's intelligence and intelligence, I still understand what he means. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then turned and mounted her horse.

"The parting at this time is for the reunion when we come." "I can't remember where I heard it, but I think it...... That's right. ”

"That's a good point." Duan Qing should arrive: "But you don't have to say it, I also know, it's not what you said." ”

"Hmph......" Xue Lingphantom knew that the other party was sarcastic, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that she couldn't refute: "I'm leaving." ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, accompanied by the sound of a woman's coquettishness, and faded away.

"Don't look at it anymore, you won't come back...... Mengzhu's singing voice sounded from behind, and she didn't know where she heard the melody of the song, so she filled in two sentences casually and sang.

"You little girl, it's really ......" Duan Qing was about to fight, and then withdrew his hand stupidly, looking at the other party's arrogant face: "Okay, you have the final say." ”

"Hmph, be careful that your budget will be cut in the future?" In order to pull Mengzhu into the gang, Duan Qing had to sell some of his rights, and now he regrets it a little, because he has become a little passive now.

"Now you know the charm of gold coins......" Mengzhu said proudly, "but it's too late now, you're already on my thief ship......"

"Oh." Duan Qing replied in a muffled voice, with his head lowered and a dejected look, but the expression on which he lowered his head was something that Mengzhu couldn't see - he was also secretly laughing.

Who got on the thief ship, it's not certain.
