131 Strange coincidences
"Here...... This is it, let's take everything off. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
This is a forest under the slope of the mountain, although it is a forest, but the trees are far from as dense as imagined, because not far away, there is a steep mountain, because of the light, the trees here are not very tall, especially on the slope close to the bottom of the cliff, some large and small rockfalls are scattered on the sparse forest land, I don't know what year it rolled down from the mountain.
And this is the camping site chosen by South Iron Mountain.
According to his original idea, he wanted to reach Karon Pass as soon as possible by car, and then find a way to go to the northern mountains, but his luck was not good, and he met two newbies, so in the end, he was entangled for a while, and finally decided to take the two newcomers to the Falling Star Mountain together. Although at first, he still wanted to "borrow" the horse in the woman's hand.
The two people who were traveling with him at this time, he didn't recognize them at first, and he didn't have some impression until the other party reminded him - when he was fighting against the bad quality players of Scorpio before, he had seen a few passers-by who were almost affected from a distance bypassing the dirt slope next to him, and among them seemed to be the woman in black in front of him - or wearing a black cloak - whatever, in short, the two of them seemed to be two of the passers-by at that time, Later, I don't know why I poured it back again. But look at the pair of men and women one after the other, ignoring each other, just like a small couple quarreling, the woman who walked in front of him was still holding a horse, with the character of the old man of the South Iron Mountain, he definitely didn't know what the origin of this horse was, but he felt that this game was full of magical themes, and a horse should have nothing to envy, so he stepped forward to discuss it and came up with a little money to buy the transportation tool in the other party's hand.
Although the woman didn't show her face at that time, Nan Tieshan obviously felt the other party's hesitant emotions, but he still didn't take it to heart - he wouldn't give in easily just because the other party was a woman, he prided himself on being a child of the rivers and lakes, how could he be bullied by a woman at will, and this is a game, a player will have some skills, and such a thing as a "weak woman" does not exist in the group of adventurers in the free world. So on the surface, he wants the other party to give up what he has in his hands, but in fact, he is secretly ready to rob openly - as long as the other party dares to say a word, in terms of strength, he is not afraid of anyone.
But in the end, the man who caught up behind stepped forward to stop him, or rather, the two of them.
The man is obviously that kind of slippery character, and it looks like the two of them are really like two people who are making trouble, he nodded and smiled at himself for a while, and then swore that he had seen his majesty on the road before, so he was afraid that the other woman who was being angry would touch his moldy head, but the two of them also had a task to do, and this beast was also very important to the two of them, so I wanted to ask the eldest brother to be okay and let go of the two of them. What kind of person is Nan Tieshan, the Iron Fist Gang carries the handle, nicknamed Wanfu invincible, how can he faint because of the flattery of just one person, but this player can really blow, and secretly expressed his admiration to him, and said that if the eldest brother can take the two newcomers to complete the task, he must be grateful, and from then on he will be the two younger brothers of the eldest brother, but the eldest brother is Zhan Yunyun, and he said that he was happy and ...... Sad.
Are the current novices so miserable, thinking about when they first started playing games......
After a few seconds of stunnedness, Nan Tieshan ignored the woman who was still not looking at him properly, laughed and agreed to Duan Qing's proposal, and said that for the sake of you being two newcomers, I would promise to help them do tasks and so on with the face of the Iron Fist Gang leader. However, although he has a bold temperament, he is not a fool, and in the end, he did not forget to ask Duan Qing where the mission destination of the two of them was.
"I also have something important to do, if you two cubs run too far, don't blame me......"
"Aha, we...... I want to go to Falling Star Mountain, I wonder if the eldest brother will stop by ......"
"Oh? That's great, I'm also on my way to Falling Star Mountain! Since it's a stopper, let's go! We're still quite fated, hahahaha! β
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Duan Qing turned his head with a laugh before he gestured to Xue Ling Phantom Ice, who lowered his head, which was still hooded, and hesitated for a while before following.
"You...... What exactly? β
"Don't do anything, or ......" Duan Qing looked at the back of the black-armored man in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You can do anything." β
"Let's just hang out, shall we?"
Nan Tieshan still doesn't care about the whispers of the two people, the children of the rivers and lakes are naturally much bigger than ordinary people, not to mention the whispers between the young couple, and they are not interested in eavesdropping. However, since he was bringing a newcomer, he naturally did not forget to remind the other party to listen to his own words and follow his own arrangement - with the reality of the free world, there are deadly things everywhere after arriving in the wild, so he is not full of confidence, and he can protect the safety of the two of them in any unexpected situation, even if it is a monster emerging from the woods on the side of the road, maybe a bad luck will send Nan Tieshan back by himself, let alone two newcomers who have never seen the world.
As a result, the two men were still very obedient, until the night when they camped, both of them were very cooperative with his orders, and the hard work made the man rush to do it, and I don't know whether it was to show in front of him, or to protect the woman who had never shown up. When cleaning up a few wild monsters that were not long-eyed, Nan Tieshan was still secretly guessing whether the male player would bravely rush up and behave in front of the female player to ease the cold atmosphere between the two people, but until he finished clearing it in three or two by himself, the other party behaved like a novice, just hiding behind, making him disappointed at the same time, he also secretly shook his head.
You can't hold back the heart of a girl, young man.
Without encountering any more danger, a makeshift team of three people found the back of a large rock in front of the dirt slope near the mountain, ready to spend the night. Nan Tieshan himself has been in the wild at night, and he is also confident that he can travel in the starry night and ensure his survival, but first, he doesn't have so much energy, and he is not so urgent, and secondly, he also has two weak people, and he is embarrassed to let the other party die, so it can only be like this.
"Big brother, we're going in the right direction, right?"
Next to the campfire in the camp, Duan Qing handed Nan Tieshan a pot of water, and then asked with some expectation.
"Hmm...... Of course, you have to believe me, whether it is a child of the rivers and lakes or an adventurer, I am a professional. After pouring a pot of water, Nan Tieshan wiped his mouth and replied in a loud voice: "Since you can only walk over like this, you have to walk in a straight line and walk there directly against the side of the mountain, this direction should be correct...... But you have to pass through a lot of places along the way, and the terrain is a little harder, but there is no difference on foot, and there is me all the way, so you don't have to be afraid of monsters or anything...... By the way, how many levels are you all now? β
β...... Level 30. Duan Qing looked at the woman who was hiding in the corner of the big stone without saying a word, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "Isn't it...... A little low, huh? β
"Level 30?" Nan Tieshan looked him up and down with strange eyes for a while: "Level...... Is it okay? But the equipment looks a little worse...... Where was he born? Is there a guild? β
"Born in Greenstone Village, guild ...... I formed a small guild by myself, and we are all friends, and now there are only five of them......"
"Well, it doesn't matter, if you don't mind, you can all come to our Iron Fist Gang, meeting is fate, I won't treat you badly, hahahaha!" Nan Tieshan patted his chest and laughed for a while, and then suddenly remembered something: "Greenstone Village...... What else happened the other day......"
"yes, yes, all of a sudden, the forest there has become a stone forest......"
"You guys made a lot of effort to get here, didn't you?"
"yes, yes, if it weren't for my friend pulling me, I wouldn't want to walk such a long way......"
"The ...... behind you Is it a friend in your guild? β
"yes, yes, uh......"
Duan Qing turned his head to look at the other party, and then whispered with a strange expression, "It should be counted...... Hehehehehe. β
Nan Tieshan swept back and forth with inexplicable eyes for a while, and then laughed a little knowingly: "Hahaha! I understand, I understand, it seems that the little brother is really a man of temperament, hahahaha......"
He picked up the kettle and poured it for a while, but he didn't pour anything, and then he threw it aside casually, took out a piece of meat from his pack and gnawed it: "It's a pity that there is no wine in this place, and this game can't roast meat by itself, otherwise, I will have a toast with you, and then ......"
His eyes widenedβhe saw Duan Qing conjure up a small pot out of nowhere, and then handed it to him with a smile.
"It's ...... Greenstone? He sat up, and the meat in his hand was almost thrown to the ground: "From Greenstone Village?" Oh...... That's right! You were born there......"
He snatched the flask, and then took two sips: "Ha...... Fragrant! Fragrant! It's really a good wine......"
"There are no good dishes in this game, but you can still get good wine." Duan Qing said with a smile: "Since the eldest brother has helped the two of us so much, I have to send something back, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get this little thing in hand......"
"Hahaha! No, no, no! It's the best gift ever! Nan Tieshan laughed and said: "Our sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, which one is not a person who loves fine wine?" You've got it right! β
In the secret pouting of the woman next to her, the two men laughed and drank the wine, and after a while they called each other brothers, and the small pot of wine was quickly drunk. Duan Qing is not a person who really likes to drink, so he didn't buy much at the beginning, and he came all the way to send this and that, and finally gave it all away at this time. However, for Nantieshan, who has tasted good wine, this trip with novices is not a loss, so in addition to being happy, he is also more concerned about the situation of the two newcomers in front of him.
"Since you are also going to Falling Star Mountain...... "Maybe it's because of the strength of the wine, his eyes are shining: "I don't know what that mission is, what is it like?" β
Duan Qing was silent, and then glanced back at the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice.
"I didn't mean that." Misunderstanding the other party's thoughts, Nan Tieshan hurriedly shook his hand and explained: "This ...... Brother Mo Shang Qingshan, and this Snow Spirit Phantom Ice Girl, I don't have the idea of snatching the two missions, I just want to know about the two missions in advance, let's also get ready to improve the success rate......"
"We understand what Big Brother means." Duan Qing also waved his hand and said, "But ......"
He glanced back at the black-cloaked woman again.
Adventurers - or rather players have unwritten secret rules - this is something that veterans who have played virtual games for two years know, but this kind of thing does not mean that it must be followed, otherwise there is no such thing as cooperative missions. When two people or two teams want to cooperate with each other and work together to achieve a certain goal, it is natural that information between them needs to be exchanged, otherwise regardless of the success rate, it will become a problem for the mutual trust between the teams. So the rules are the rules, and the specific situation is up to the players themselves. Even if it's a big guild in the city that provides "services" to help others do tasks, if you don't tell people about the content of the tasks, how can they help you do it? What's more, Nantieshan's situation of "bringing new people to do tasks" is gone.
But at this time, Duan Qing was not embarrassed for this reason, because the previous rhetoric of going to Falling Star Mountain was completely nonsense from his own urgency, and now let him make up a specific task, he couldn't say it for a while - Originally, he had already thought of the rhetoric along the way, but until now he didn't say it, and the ultimate reason was because of the woman behind him.
If she doesn't cooperate, it's just that, if it's a nonsense that is different from her thoughts, or annoys the other party, then he followed him, and it took a long time to work hard, what is it for, he really wants to say "I don't know".
Fortunately, the woman seemed to understand his thoughts, and finally spoke.
"We're going to find some people on Falling Star Mountain."
"Oh? Who? β
"The people of the Nors."
Nan Tieshan sat there cross-legged and slowly closed his eyes: "Hmm...... O Norsr......"
"I've heard of this race, they live in the snowy mountains of Andachel all year round, they don't care about the world, and they are all strong and powerful, they are all born warriors, and it is said that some people have encountered them in the mountains, but they all died in the end...... Well, I haven't seen where they are, and I don't know how to find them......"
"I know where they are."
The woman who had not spoken all this time opened her mouth in three concise sentences, and the amount of information was greater than one sentence, not only Duan Qing turned her head in some surprise, but even Nan Tieshan narrowed her eyes and looked at her with an inexplicable gaze: "You know? β
The woman did not answer again, but expressed her attitude in silence.
"Since that's the case......" restrained his secret pride, Nan Tieshan patted Duan Qing on the shoulder: "Okay, don't worry, I will escort you up the mountain and help you complete the task!" Isn't it just Falling Star Mountain, which is like a mountain of knives and a sea of fire for those who come back from the dead, but for me, it's definitely a piece of cake! Hahahaha! β
The leaves moved slightly, the fire was extinguished, and the majesty of the night shook the scenery for a moment, and at the same time spread the laughter of the big man into the distance.
