"You should have heard of it before, from Avena. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Tania, the Dignity Tavern of the Commoners, Duan Qingzheng, who was brought here by the fat man, was drinking wine while listening to the fat man's whining whisper: "That guy from Slanco was originally a squad leader of the Eda County garrison, although it is located in the middle of nowhere, it is also a beautiful place. He has an easy-going and straightforward personality, and his subordinates are also very good, although his fighting skills are first-class, but he is not a person who likes to follow the rules, at that time, I and Dusk were just a small soldier, and I liked to drink with him when I had nothing to do...... Naturally, you know the situation there, and if you don't find something to do, sooner or later you will be able to idle people. ”

"That's how our friendship came down." He said softly, "Although I didn't have much contact later, but that time was ...... No one will ever forget it. ”

"It doesn't sound like a story that can be told in a few simple sentences." Duan Qing's response was equally relaxed: "But...... Eddashire? Is there such a place in the principality? ”

"It's now called the province of Estala." The fat man glanced at Duan Qing: "It's part of the Frey Empire." ”

“……”

Slowly sketching out the player's hand-drawn tablet map circulating on the Internet in his mind, Duan Qing reacted for a while: "That's it...... The one next to Koskashire? ”

"Ten years ago, it was part of the principality, but then for various reasons...... It was crossed out. ”

As if remembering a sad past, the fat man's eyes became melancholy: "Slanko's wife...... It was at that time that he died. ”

“…… You were all members of the same army at the time? ”

"No, at that time Dusk was already the commander of another regiment." The fat man shook his head: "He was originally sent by the nobles to write two lines on his resume, and his status has risen faster than ours, and because of the tight war, we have to be assigned to various places to command the troops, although this seems to be useless, the defeats that should be eaten are still countless, but those useless soldiers are in our hands...... At the very least, it will reduce the number of casualties. ”

"The Duchy's battles with the Empire have been like this for the past time." Speaking of this, the fat man sighed: "Run if you can, hide if you can, fight head-on...... Never won. ”

"Sounds terrible." Duan Qing sighed and said, "Those townspeople ...... I'm afraid that the last person will suffer, right? ”

"Yes, but a handful survived." The fat man replied, "Isn't the province of Estala doing well now?" The people of the Empire are not aliens or beasts, and they will not be wiped out. ”

“…… In other words, you and Dusk are actually very familiar with Slanko? So Duan Qing pulled the topic back: "Then how did he become a gatekeeper later?" ”

"We tried to give him something better, but he wouldn't." The fat man poured down the wine in front of him in one gulp, and then pulled his neckline: "Maybe there is some shadow because of something we don't know, he doesn't want to be a high-ranking official anymore, and even the ordinary six-person team in the fortress, he is a little reluctant...... Several of his former comrades-in-arms also tried to inquire about his thoughts, but in the end they did not ask for anything, so Dusk had no choice but to follow his wishes and put him in the place of the west gate of the fortress. ”

"By the way, he insisted on guarding the West Gate." The fat man suddenly raised his head and said, "I stay there every day, and I don't know what I'm waiting for." ”

“…… Maybe his daughter will know some of the stories. Duan Qing reminded: "Didn't you ask An Weina about it?" ”

“…… That's his lifeline, how can we bother with her life. The fat man replied in a low voice: "Being able to accept a husband from the city guard is already her most tolerant performance, and more things...... I can't do it. ”

"When I handed over the relics to Avena, I heard a few words from her."

Duan Qing thought about it for a while, and the wine glass in his hand kept shaking under the illumination of the light: "I want to come now...... Maybe it has something to do with the things you're talking about. ”

“…… What did she say? ”

"Hopefully I'll vindicate someone like Slanko." Duan Qing said: "There are many people in the Principality who want to be unknown like her father, but they have sacrificed everything, and they deserve to be recognized and praised by the Principality, so her father's death is nothing, she just hopes that these sacrifices can become meaningful...... Did something similar happen before Slanko finally made the choice to look at the gate? Didn't you and that Dusk general find anything? ”

"His last duties...... Presumably a border guard officer. ”

The fat man stared and remembered for a while, and finally whispered everything he knew: "After the invasion of the Imperials, he lost contact for a long time, and we thought he had died on the way to cover with his men, but then ......"

"Something must have happened in between." Duan Qing sighed, "Who are the people who came back with him?" Didn't you try to ask? ”

"No...... No one. ”

"Huh?"

"There was no one left, only he ran back alone."

In the gradual hustle and bustle of the tavern, the fat man uttered a rather chilling answer: "No companions, no one else...... When our people found him on the plains of Ferron, he was the only one. ”

“……”

The wordless silence continued for a while, and Duan Qing snapped his fingers: "That's it, what's going on in between...... It must be the reason why he became the way he is. ”

"It's a pity that I don't have much chance to find out." The fat man sighed: "There is no point in it." ”

“……”

"I've thought about it a lot these days, and one of my thoughts is to find an opportunity to avenge Slanko."

Looking at Duan Qing's speechless face, the fat man's voice returned to its previous gloom: "Although I am not a strict combatant, my position is also inextricably linked to the war, and I also hope to be able to rush to the front line again one day...... Kill a few enemies for that guy. I didn't think much about what Dusk, who had become the commander of the fortress, and the others thought, but what I didn't think was ...... The Imperials hit us so quickly and almost succeeded. ”

"Those days...... You ran to the front line all the time, for this? Duan Qing asked.

“…… I guess there is such a thing in mind. The fat man said in a deep voice: "It almost caused a catastrophe." ”

"I want to thank you."

After an interval of time, the fat man raised his full wine glass again and gestured to Duan Qing: "Thanks to you, my mistakes have a chance to make amends, my wishes have a chance to come true, my best friend has a chance to look away, my best friend's family...... to have a chance to be preserved. ”

"If Avena is here, she must have a bunch of things to tell you." The fat man suddenly let out a low chuckle: "It's a pity...... She probably didn't have much time to spare. ”

"Isn't there a hot fight with the Pamirs?" Duan Qing also laughed: "I think those two guys are quite compatible." ”

"Hey, don't say such casual things." The fat man immediately shouted, and then raised his wine glass again and lowered his voice: "Anyway...... We'll just have to wait and see, hahahaha! ”

The wine glasses in the hands of the two people made a crisp sound in the air, and then they were retracted to their respective mouths, but the fat man with a wine burp suddenly reached into his arms and slapped a knife on the wine table in front of him: "Give!" ”

“…… What is it? ”

"Thank you."

The fat man squinted his eyes and said, "You don't think I'm the kind of person who can only talk and can't do things, do you?" My thanks...... Naturally, it's not just a matter of talking! ”

"This is a sidearm I built myself when I was younger, and I've given it to you."

The fat man waved his hand aggressively: "Although you have been with me for a long time, it is almost useless now, since you and your adventure party are still so weak, and you have to carry out that hellish mission, then it is better for me to use it for you." ”

"Lux? Yang, always by your side. The fat man frowned and said, "How is it?" Do you feel a sense of sympathy and security from the Principality? ”

"If you're really worried about our safety, then send a few passable masters to escort us, okay?" Duan Qing played with the knife for a while, and then replied with hanging eyes: "Although you principalities, it seems that you can't find any decent masters......

"Don't ask for so much, okay?" The fat man snorted wine and said: "If we really draw out the manpower, the Pamir probably won't find your head, give a gift or give a life...... We can still see it. ”

"Look at it, let's be honest!"

"Total, anyway! The manpower of the faction will still be given to you, the etiquette of a country. The fat man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if there is really no way......

"I'll give you a name." He pressed his fat body to the wine table, and said in a deliberately low voice: "After you go......"

"Just look for him."

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

"As a result, you ended up bringing back one of these missions?"

In the Fool Adventure Group's residence for a period of time, the shouts belonging to Mengzhu echoed in the far-reaching night sky again: "It's not enough for us to be busy in the station, do we still have to accept such an unreliable mission?" ”

"I said, if you don't want to take it, you won't take it, anyway, it's just the name of a councilor, I don't want it......"

"Who, who said no?"

The little girl with her waist crossed couldn't put down the dagger that Duan Qing sent back, and at the same time replied hesitantly: "Why don't people send it, don't you be a fool......"

"You're talking about a dagger, right?" Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "Can you properly assess the feasibility of this task......

"O Free City."

The blue-haired female swordsman who was sitting in a large wooden chair suddenly sighed: "I didn't expect that after such a long time, I would be able to go back one day......

"Hey, what we're talking about now is whether or not to go, and I haven't said I'm going to go yet."

"Of course, so I'm talking about possibility."

Whispering Liuyu shook her long hair and stood up: "If you want to go, you can choose to take me with you, after all, in the days before you came here...... I spent it all there. ”

"There's a whole bunch of people waiting to see you." She showed a big smile: "You...... Don't forget it. ”

"That's what you say...... I don't want to go. ”

Duan Qing, who was holding his head, retreated to the wall of the room: "What's more, it's in the open and secret struggle between several countries...... If you are not careful, it is estimated that even dying without a corpse is a luxury. ”

"Yes, yes, how can we put the affairs of the court in our eyes?" The shirtless Xiao Hongchen also stood up loudly: "Our goal is this rolling red dust...... No, it's the sea of stars! How can you ...... because of such a trivial matter?"

"Without such a 'trivial', I'm afraid it's difficult to go further, right?" Backhanding back the man who was about to jump up, Mengzhu pouted and continued: "Well, anyway, from the perspective of the adventure group, such a good opportunity must not be missed, but the expected development and rewards are really difficult to estimate......"

"Isn't this the same thing this time, but didn't we still fight for our lives? Therefore, it is right to follow the general trend, and don't think about any development, future, or anything...... Ning Lan, what do you think? ”

“…… Wherever Mr. goes, Ning Lan goes. ”

“…… When I didn't ask. Thousand-fingered crane, what do you think? ”

"Huh? Belch...... I would love to go too. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Because...... Because isn't it by the sea? I haven't seen the sea of the free world yet......"

"Poof—"

"That's right! Think of it as a tour! ”

Mengzhu, who looked proud, finally jumped up and slapped his hands at the same time: "After living and dying in Tania for so long, we should also organize a relaxing team activity!" What's more, this is someone who paid for us to go, it's just a big giveaway? City of Freedom, Marina Star...... Wow, what a destination! ”

"O Free City......"

The whisperer on the side suddenly let out an inexplicable sigh: "I don't object to you going there with such a mentality, but please believe me......"

She hid her mouth and smiled.

"It's not a great place to visit."
