120 Places where the journey begins
"Where is he, I'm going to find him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I don't know, it's been so many years, and he won't say it."
"That'...... Then I will personally ask him, where is he now? β
"Well, I guess I'm still in Windflower, or I'm gone. Miss, you have to calm down, I inquired back and forth for a long time, and he didn't say, if you go over, wouldn't it be embarrassing if he refuses to see you......"
"So, why did he leave in the first place?"
"This, I don't know about this......"
Under the shade of the trees beside the ruins, the two people who had retired from the idlers were talking quicklyβwith the anxiety of the woman in them, it would be torture to make her wait even a second longer, but disappointingly, Jian Beidong's next answer contained little valuable information.
Thus, the friendly exchange in the shade of the trees immediately turned into a brawl between the two - in fact, a one-sided beating.
"You don't know anything! What use do I want you! β
"Stop! Stop it! Didn't I say to calm you down? β
"I don't want to be calm! You deliberately ran over and finished talking about one, two, three, and you couldn't say four, five, six, and you wanted to be angry, right? You're glad to meet him, aren't you? You want to thrill me, don't you? Don't think I can't see it......"
"Eldest sister, eldest sister, you think too much...... Hey, hey, don't fight, if you fight again, you'll die......"
"What are you afraid of killing in Beidong, the eldest husband will die if he dies, isn't it just going back to the city, anyway, you can't say anything, there is no use value......"
"Wow, you've changed, you've become so cold...... Stop, okay, okay, I said it's okay......"
"Whew, whew, say...... What's he doing? β
"He started a guild and is now in ......"
"What? Does he want to make a comeback? β
"No, no, there are only five guilds he has set up for himself...... No, there are four actual members in it, so can you put your sword down first? β
The hot summer wind blew the plackets of the two of them for a moment, and then stopped as the woman's long hair fell, and in the shaky shade, Jian Beidong calmed down his slight breath, and then scratched his head.
"It should be playing by himself, he made some trouble in Fenghua Town, although the fight was quite tragic in the end, but looking at him like that, he should still be enjoying it, so ......"
"He should be doing well." He sat down on the ground: "At least...... On the surface, it looks like this. β
"He ......," the woman asked hesitantly, "what did he do?" β
"Oh, I don't know everything, because I have my own affairs, but the most intense part of the matter is from my duel......"
In the shadows of the swaying trees, the two men sat on the grass again, whispering stories to the summer wind. After some time, the woman's voice murmured, "Fool...... Adventure party? β
"Yes, now that I think about it, when I was stopped by him for the first time, he also claimed to be the leader of the Fool Adventure Group, hehe, such a stupid name, we would never have thought of it at the beginning...... What's wrong? β
The woman looked at each other with strange eyes, and only when Jian Beidong was a little hairy did she whisper: "Journey...... Where it started. β
"Huh?"
"The meaning of the fool." The woman lowered her head slightly, hiding her side face in her long hanging hair: "The fool in the tarot card refers to the initial state of man, simple, innocent, adventurous, and fearless. β
"Uh...... How could I possibly know such a thing as a fortune teller......"
"So the meaning of the fool can also be interpreted as the place where the journey begins." The woman looked up at each other: "The beginning of the journey of life." β
"Hmm...... I understand. The man in the shabby cloak nodded a little unconsciously, then lay down on his back and looked at the blue sky through the mottled shadows of the trees.
"It seems to fit the ...... He's in a mood right now. β
*****************
"Where does the journey begin?"
"yes, according to the locals, that's how it was explained."
"Huh, that sounds ...... It fits us perfectly. β
The carriage had long since left, but Duan Qing and Mengzhu got off early-when the convoy had advanced for a long time and walked to Karon Pass, the two of them chose to get off the car and stay at Karon Pass, choosing and deciding on their next move while resting and replenishing a little.
After all, after a half-day ride, there is really no fun at all, and the Karon Pass in front of you looks very large, which is quite valuable for exploration.
The two of them first agreed, and then split up and entered the place that looked like a small border pass and began to explore, but soon reunited in the square inside the gate. For some reason, in the middle of the pass of the double city wall, there are many people gathered here, some have opened small shops here, more people have set up stalls here, and there are also many players who are mixed with the crowd of sellers, shouting hard for their own business. Curious about the liveliness of this place, the two of them began to inquire about the background of this place, and it didn't take long for Duan Qing to learn the answer from the mouth of a certain merchant.
"This pass is said to have been built on the basis of a town that has already collapsed, and the name is inherited from the name of the previous prosperous town, well, I think it was called Azamoka...... In short, it is a very awkward name. β
"In the language of the Old Magic Empire, the name means the place where the journey begins...... Anyway, where does this resemble us? β
"Of course it's like, don't you see that we are novices who have just come out of the novice village, and our journey has just begun."
"You and I are almost level 30, and you still call yourself a novice......
Due to the previous series of events in Fenghua Town, including the two other members who have left, everyone has secretly gained a lot of experience, so the few people who originally did a lot of trivial tasks because of Richard's "deception" are now about to enter the level 30 mark.
Although for them, it is still far away from the world at the highest level, and it is naturally impossible to apply for the League Cup.
"That's a newbie, too! You see that I'm so weak, I'm definitely not good compared to you...... Hey, that's right! β
The little girl suddenly jumped up excitedly: "In that case, let's buy a wave of equipment, right?" β
"Do we have that much money?"
"Hmm...... Maybe you can meet Xiaobai? β
Xiaobai is a general term for some players who do not have a discerning eye and therefore sell good equipment cheaply. Despite the development of virtual games for so long, and the players of the free world for a long time, such novice players still appear frequently, no matter where they are, in addition to the uneven quality of players, the ever-changing equipment in the game is also one of the important reasons - you never know how important a certain seemingly useless attribute is to some certain types of players.
So every day, countless players rush to the forum, crying about their experiences of making mistakes in trading, and then gradually grow in the lessons of eating and growing, and then ...... Pits harm more patients with small white type.
"If you want to, I won't object, although I think it's very unlikely."
"As a former transportation hub, the predecessor of Karon Pass is said to be as lively as it is now. Due to the importance of its location, the town became as a place of passage for merchants and adventurers, and commerce and services swelled rapidly...... Well, I'm in our language, and people here don't know what the service industry is......"
Walking on the path between the stalls, Duan Qing introduced other information to Mengzhu that he had learned: "As for why so many people pass by this place...... It is said that at the time of the Magic Empire, the east from here was an unexplored place, called the Unknown Realm in the terminology. β
"At that time, people who did not know magic had a very low social status, so in order to survive or get ahead, many adventurers who became warriors or other professions would choose to venture into unexplored places, and if they were lucky, they might be able to make a fortune and get rid of poverty. As for how many people finally achieved this goal, we don't know, but judging from the current results, the current development of the Duchy and the eastern part of the empire should be inseparable from this wave of people at that time. β
"It's become a very prosperous place over there." He said this as he pointed to their east.
"Are there a lot of people going there now?"
"Just look at the caravans here." Duan Qing spread his hands and gestured around: "Well, there are still many adventurers who want to go over there too." β
"Where to the east?"
"I've heard people say that there's a free city on the easternmost side of the sea, which is a paradise for players. But when you hear the name, you probably know what it looks like...... What, are you going to that place? β
"Well...... the little girl pointed her finger to her forehead, "It's hard for me to decide, after all, the purpose of our stay is to decide...... Where are we going next? β
"Didn't I tell you, Norman suggested that we go to Tania, and if we can, it's best to participate in the battle between the Duchy and the Empire......"
"I don't want to listen to that old man! And that's war, war! Mengzhu stopped and said to Duan Qing, who also stopped: "Uncle who is very cruel in war, a lone player like us, we will be drowned when we go up casually...... Why did that old man make such a suggestion, and you refused to show me the book he gave me......
β...... So where do you want to go? Duan Qing touched her nose and did not continue the topic of the little girl.
"Listening to your description, it seems like a good place to go to the City of Freedom......" the little girl began to think, "but ...... I still want to go to Falling Star Mountain. β
"You mean...... The one to the north of us, the highest mountain in the world? β
"That's right!" The little girl clapped her hands: "Don't you think this risky proposal is a good idea?" The highest mountain in the free world, don't you want to see it? Isn't the so-called adventure just the place you should go to? β
"That's the way it is, but we don't know the danger of that place yet...... Duan Qing said helplessly: "The best situation is that we receive some tasks or commissions, so that we can still have some purpose, and we can also get some introductions, funding or something, so that we can go by the way......"
"Oh, uncle, do you want to be so utilitarian......"
"The reward is 500 gold coins, why don't you do it?"
"Of course I did!"
The little girl immediately said with a twinkle in her eyes, and then lowered her head a little embarrassedly.
β...... Anyway, how about playing games always going to thrilling places? What do you think? β
β...... As far as I know, none of the people who wanted to go to the top of that mountain came back alive, including the players, so no one knows what it was like until now. Seeing the other party's resolute attitude, Duan Qing had no choice but to use other methods to dissuade him: "First of all, regardless of the two of us level 30 players, can we rush to such a mountain top with such unprepared enthusiasm?" β
"Hmm......"
To the north, to the east, to the west - the little girl was in a deep struggle. Seeing this, Duan Qing stopped talking, but began to look around the lively bazaar. Since the bazaars at Karon Pass are made up of temporary people, their stalls are also chaotic and irregular. The various stalls scattered in the small inner walls of the city wall are like a labyrinth of passages, and they also seriously obstruct the view of travelers, but some important buildings are relatively easy to identify, such as the smoking spire building in the distance, which is probably an inn for travelers and adventurers to rest.
"Why don't we take a rest and go to that inn?" So he proposed, "Let's sit inside and think about it." β
Mengzhu glanced over there with his peripheral eyes, then nodded. So the two of them walked in that direction one after the other, and in the hustle and bustle, the entanglement of the two people continued.
"Why do you want to go to a place like Tania, have you already started looking for a place to retire?"
"Don't worry, even if it's for the elderly, I won't choose a place like the capital...... I'm just looking for a safe place to watch the game. β
"Watching the game? League Cup? β
"Of course, I won't let you participate, and you won't be allowed to see it......"
Countless shouts were left behind by them, and the two of them finally walked to the door of the inn, looking at the name hanging on the sign, Duan Qing couldn't help laughing.
"O Traveler's House...... What a good name. β
"I hope there will be delicious dim sum, if only it was as delicious as the 'Shining Star Flower'......"
"It's so close to Windflower, they should have the goods...... Yes! β
Before the two of them could push open the door of the inn, they were thrown aside by a person who suddenly rushed over them.
"Oh my God! O earth! The man shouted, "You guys! You're finally here! β
