"There's a master at the castle of Thebilisi?"

The time turned to the morning of this day, and in the streets and alleys where the sun was gradually warming, Duan Qing, who was walking among the crowd, and a certain heavily armored warrior who had been waiting here for a long time gathered together, and at the same time listened to the other party's suddenly raised voice: "Why haven't I heard of it?" ”

"It's also the first time I've heard of it, and according to legend, it's still Uncle Ford's mentor." Duan Qing, who was touching his nose, replied helplessly: "I heard that that guy is also an imperial nobleman who returned from other places, the kind that has been exiled overseas a long, long time ago. ”

"Why did so many imperial nobles suddenly appear back home?" Retracting his surprise, Gedmayne said angrily: "Could it be that the successive defeats of the Frey Empire in the recent period of time have given these overseas wanderers the confidence to return home?" ”

"Even though the Empire has been deflated lately, we have to admit that they are still the most powerful country on the free continent." Duan Qing replied helplessly: "And the original strength of these imperial nobles is already strong enough, they don't come back to eat soft rice." ”

"Judging by the attitude of these blacksmiths towards that master, the one we meet now is not an ordinary person." Following the dark walls and the passing crowds, he looked into the distant sky: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid it will be a little later to get back the things we built. ”

"It's not a big deal." Waving his hand slightly, Gedmayne's brow furrowed, "But...... With the addition of the previous Tristan, it seems that we have been encountering this kind of thing all the time. ”

"What's the matter?" Duan Qing, who was walking in front, chuckled and said, "Are you referring to our bad luck along the way?" ”

"No, it's been an amazing experience." Patting the armor on his body, Gedmayne's voice became relaxed: "Last month, I was still leading a large number of wild men to fight in the canyon battlefield, and even fought with you, and in the blink of an eye, I became a fugitive who fled here with you. ”

"Hey, you have to follow us." Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Don't easily beat yourself into our accomplice, there's nothing to ask you to go, okay?" ”

"Don't say it so ruthlessly, aren't you afraid that I will reveal all the secrets of your team?" Gedmayne waved his hand: "And everything that happened in the canyon before, you have to give me a chance to make amends, don't you?" ”

"Really?" Duan Qing, who was walking in front, squinted his eyes and looked back at the other party: "Isn't that dragon scale from before compensated?" ”

"That thing is supposed to be yours, and now it's all in the blacksmith's hands." Pointing behind the two people, the heavily armored warrior laughed twice: "Don't always doubt whether it's good or not, I'm a thug who accompanies you......"

"It's worth more than that."

“……”

"I heard something happened again last night."

Looking at the other party's silent face, Gedmayne, who put away his smile, asked in a low voice, "What, what new questions did the dark lady of our family think of?" ”

"She's gone to investigate the assassin early in the morning." Duan Qing sighed and shook his head: "I hope that the Wings of Freedom can be a little more restrained in this city, otherwise if something really pokes out of the basket, I don't dare to guarantee that I can suppress that woman." ”

"Even if she is wearing a white dress now, it seems that the unforgettable hatred cannot be erased so easily." Saying these inexplicable words, Gedemane rubbed his jaw: "But with the current posture of the castle of Thebilisi, I am afraid that it will take some effort for those lackeys of the Restorationists to get involved. ”

"Naturally, the above board approach will not work." Duan Qing sighed again and replied, "I'm afraid of ......."

"I'm afraid they'll find some local gangs and get in through their skins."

Following the steps of the two men, the Guild of Adventurers belonging to the castle of Thebilisi gradually appeared at the end of their street, and spire-like buildings from the height to the ground also appeared on the left and right of the street, shining in the sunlight with sharp lights and shadows that could only be seen in the empire. It seems that he has long been accustomed to such a strict defensive arrangement of guard towers, and the figures of players walking here are also under the surveillance of these towers as usual, and this also makes Duan Qing and Gedmayne, who walked here, their originally relaxed expressions stiffen a little: "I didn't notice much before...... Are there people on top of those towers? ”

"That's right, it's all Imperial soldiers guarding above." Slowly walking out of the crowd, Duan Qingtou, who looked around at the surrounding scene, replied without looking back: "After all, this is still a castle, and the functions that belong to the castle are all running intact." ”

"And it's in the hands of the military, isn't it?" Gedmane, who came after him, also began to look around here: "Why didn't you see it when you came here before?" ”

"Because the castle of Thebilisi has evolved into a proper city." Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "Since it is a city, there are naturally densely populated areas, and places like the Adventurers' Guild ......"

"It's almost every city's key surveillance target."

As if he had finally found the right direction, he walked towards a crowded counter, and after a long struggle with the crowded players, he stepped back again with a sneering expression: "Okay, that's the place to hand in the quest......"

"Are you a veteran here?" Gedmane's eyes widened: "How can you even get the place wrong?" ”

"When I came here before, I was a ninth-level newcomer, and there was no guild or adventure group." Duan Qing replied angrily: "It's okay, who came to this kind of place?" I don't have any delegation to deal with...... Yes. ”

"Otherwise, let's look at this." He stopped halfway to another counter, in front of a blackboard with various notes and papers pasted on three or two sides: "If they do move around here-"

"There may be a few familiar names on these other commissions."

It seemed to be back in the familiar Tanzania City Adventurers' Guild, and the dazzling array of adventure commissions were constantly appearing in the same way in his field of vision, but due to the fact that he was in one of the most important cities in the empire, the variety of missions here was more complicated than that of the remote city. Perhaps because the Imperial military ruled the area, most of the commissions hanging on these blackboards were also more or less related to helping the military deal with the city's affairs, and the notes full of various patrol and training tasks were also filled with the names of countless generals and captains stationed here: "Assist the third team in clearing the wolves in the wild, signed by Captain Roman......"

"Help to transport supplies to the imperial capital...... Well, the reward is only 500 gold coins. ”

"Because it was transported with the captain of the garrison, it was almost not difficult, so the reward was not very much."

"Look at this: Train Imperial soldiers with Captain Parker, and the participants will be rewarded by the Emperor - this seems to be very good, shall we take it?"

"See, the content of the commission is to accompany this group of Imperial soldiers to practice the entire Parathon."

Pointing helplessly to the entrusted page that the heavily armored warrior was observing, Duan Qing replied with an expressionless face to Gedemaien's proposal that had just burst into interest: "If you can complete that kind of training, you can directly enlist in the army, not to mention that we haven't reported to the local adventurer association yet, and the name of the Qingling Adventure Group hasn't been changed yet." ”

"Isn't the party's pass continent-wide?" Gedmayne raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there any special rule on the Empire's side?" ”

"Look, you're also someone who doesn't play Imperial Adventures." Duan Qing spread his hands: "The degree to which the people of the empire do not trust adventurers is much higher than that of the principality, in order to facilitate management, and also to prevent the appearance of overreachers, the adventure groups on this side of the empire must report to the local adventurer association after they migrate." ”

"This was originally a rule that only the big guilds would follow, after all, they couldn't run around outside every day when they had a station." Speaking of this, he turned around and pointed to the other side of the association: "It's just that here, the rule has become more extensive. ”

"Hey, it's boring." Gedmane, who pursed his lips, then followed to look at the other side of the association: "Then should we-"

"Are you afraid we'll not be discovered fast enough?" Stopping the other party's steps to go to the registration office, Duan Qing, who was pulling the other party's shoulder, lowered his voice: "The list left by His Royal Highness the Prince and the Emperor may have already spread our reputation at home and abroad." ”

"Hey, isn't this cutting off our party's finances?"

"It's the fortune of the Qingling Adventure Group, and you're not a member now." Instead, he hugged his arms and looked at Duan Qing, who was looking at the other party, and then showed a disdainful gaze: "Of course, we don't need these very much now, after all, we didn't come here to make money." ”

"I know, I know." The heavily armored warrior pushed his palm, "We're coming—"

"You're here for someone, aren't you?"

A steady and confident voice then sounded behind the two people, accompanied by a warrior wearing half-body heavy armor and a long sword diagonally stuck in his back, and he walked closer with a few people and glanced at Duan Qing slightly, and then said politely to Gedmayne beside him.

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

“…… What's going on now? ”

After a while, in the hall of the Adventurer's Association, the figure belonging to the rising sun slowly appeared at the door of the crowd, and he watched for a while among the countless players walking back and forth in the association, and then waved his hand in the direction of Duan Qing, who had been waiting in place: "Why are you two alone?" ”

"I'm the only one, to be exact."

Pointing to the crowd gathered in a certain direction behind him, Duan Qing replied helplessly: "Liuyu has something to do, there has been very little time to go online recently, as for Ling Bing...... You know. ”

"So we're the only ones left to do the work?" The Giant Axe Warrior rolled his eyes: "And what is the matter with this Gedmayne?" ”

"Shhhhh Raising his palm and fanning it in front of him, Duan Qing then also showed a listless expression: "Didn't you see it?" ”

"Even in a place like the castle of Thebilisi, people can brush their faces."

Following his fingers, the rising sun's gaze also fell on Gedmayne, who was talking to another group of people behind Duan Qing, and he seemed to be showing the same polite smile at this time, and the raised voice also reached the ears of the other two people: "...... It was so timely and helped us a lot. ”

"What is this, just to tell you what we know by the way, if there is anything else you need to know, you can go to the second floor of the Flame Ranch to find us."

"Aha, that's disrespectful...... What about Morse? Why isn't he here? ”

"He, he has other things, and we have also discussed meeting here, so we came here like you."

The polite greetings and inquiries were not so loud in this lively adventurer's hall, but they still became more and more conspicuous as time passed, and several people who seemed to be aware of this then stopped thinking about staying here for a long time, and slowly moved two steps in the direction where Duan Qing was: "...... This is my current captain, Mr. Linyuan Broken Water. ”

"Oh, so you're the captain." Seemingly surprised by Duan Qing's slightly novice-looking dress and equipment, the half-armored warrior with the long sword on his back refocused his attention on Duan Qing's body at this time: "I'm sorry, I thought you were a newly recruited member of Gedmayne." ”

"It's okay." Duan Qing waved his hand meaninglessly: "It's you—how did you meet?" ”

"We also received his great favor at that time, so we came to say hello." Pointing at the heavily armored warrior, the player with the four-character ID of Farewell Xiangshan on his head replied with a smile: "If we hadn't happened to meet him this time, we wouldn't have had this opportunity to help." ”

“…… What kind of people are these? ”

Looking at the group of people who then turned to leave, Asahi Dongsheng asked with a confused face, "What did they help us?" ”

"They are also one of the local gangs, called the Cambridge Gang." Gedman, who withdrew his smile, said in a deep voice: "I have had some fate with them before, so I reminded us a little. ”

"Why, did you find a clue to the people of the Wings of Freedom?"

"They were referring to the names of another group of people."

His eyes involuntarily roamed back and forth over every player passing by around the hall of the association, and Gedmane, who answered Duan Qing's question, lowered his voice: "Axe Gang, Saint Crystal United ......"

"The gangs that are active in the foothills of the southern part of the empire seem to have gathered near the castle recently." 8)
