"Still haven't found her?"

In the early morning of March 6, 796 in the new calendar of the free world, countless people of the Nasu tribe gradually woke up from the morning sun again, and the tired appearance of Duan Qing and others who had not slept all night also walked back from all directions of the temporary camp at this time, and at the same time showed each other's helpless expressions of sight and movements: "Is it really hanging?" ”

"The previous camp has been demolished, and even resurrection is impossible...... Hmm, it can't be that you're back on the side of the Free Continent, right? ”

"The question is, that guy has been on our party as Lorna all the time - is it possible for an NPC to record a resurrection point while crossing the entire Bridge of Miracles?"

"Well...... Hey, don't you guys think things so badly, okay? Maybe they haven't hung up yet, but they've just been blown away by the storm somewhere else! ”

The inconclusive result brought a feeling of anxiety and sadness to the team, and the silence between them was soon broken by the atmosphere that gradually became lively around the camp, and the scene of several warriors who walked out of the camp and the Nassu people galloping around the camp on horseback also burst into the distance along with the neighing of the horses, and even the convoy belonging to the Lufin Chamber of Commerce began to move and set off: "What to do, they are going to go." ”

"She's not Furla, she doesn't have the ability to teleport, so we just left her here......"

"Wait, wait, it's not us who wants to leave her here, and if we don't leave her, it will be Surtu's turn to leave us in the end!"

"Why don't you ask Fra to go out and find it? Although she is seriously injured now, she should be more efficient than us to find it, right? ”

"No, it's not time to let Fura out."

A little inexplicable brilliance flashed in his eyes, and Duan Qing, who had been holding his head silently, finally raised his voice and said: "We have already received too much of her help, even if we can't take our own responsibility, we don't have any excuses and reasons to continue to trouble her." ”

"So what do you say?" Spread his hands, and his body was covered with grass clippings and dew, and then he also made a straight face: "You can't leave the little girl Mengzhu here, right?" Although the rising sun is probably very happy to see this outcome......"

"What? What do you say? His words really caused a man on the side to be extremely dissatisfied: "Where is the relationship between me and Miss Mengzhu so bad?" I'm also a kind-hearted, good brother with excellent character and learning, okay? ”

"That guy may just take this opportunity to run away from home because he can't trust you." With a deep sigh, Duan Qing, who was also full of exhaustion, turned around and walked towards the depths of the camp: "Forget it, it's useless to guess here, it's better to do some useful efforts." ”

"I'm going to see Surtu."

He left the last sentence, and then gradually walked towards the depths of the camp, and Surtu, who was surrounded by a group of Nasu tribesmen in the middle of the camp, also noticed Duan Qing's approach, and the movements that were originally directing something everywhere also paused for a moment: "...... In short, be on your guard, for yesterday's storm was not the will of heaven, but was deliberately done. ”

"Let Liggle take you to the front to sweep first, and if you encounter a suspicious person or an obvious enemy, don't act rashly, and report back to me." He sent the rest of the people around him to the side of another burly strong man who was shouting angrily in the distance, and then turned around and nodded in Duan Qing's direction: "Are you back?" Did you find it? ”

"Nope." Understanding what the other party was referring to, Duan Qing replied hesitantly, "So we are here to ask the patriarch, and I hope you can give us a little more time-"

"It can't be." Shaking his head, Surtu's face was as heavy as a rock at this time: "My people and I have been stuck here for too long, we can't wait any longer, there are too many hidden dangers around the enemy, if we continue to give them a chance, the next time we attack us may not be as simple as a storm." ”

"I understand the patriarch's concerns, after all, the future of the clan is at stake." Placing his arm in front of his body, Duan Qing bowed his body slightly: "But please trust us, that little girl is equally important to us." ”

"You mean you're going to put all of our people in danger for the sake of that teammate of yours?"

"The Nasu now have the support of the Lufin Chamber of Commerce, and we adventurers, as long as it is not a threat such as a natural disaster, we can definitely handle most of the challenges." Facing Su Ertu's serious questioning, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "What's more, this challenge is also an ethereal existence, and it is not certain whether it will come." ”

"You, who just experienced the storm last night, are still in the mood to say such things." Shaking his head, Surtu sighed and continued: "Do you want us to continue to take such great risks for the sake of this so-called 'ethereal'? ”

The negotiation seemed to have entered a helpless stalemate, and the voice belonging to Duan Qing also temporarily entered a boundless silence, and he finally let out a heavy sigh after standing in place for a long time without moving a minute, and his brows raised again were tightly locked: "Sorry, we can't give up our teammates." ”

"I can understand this concern, and I appreciate the strong camaraderie that you adventurers have." After saying such an evaluation, the calmness on Surtu's face gradually changed into an indifferent smile: "But from our side, we can't continue to stay where we are, can we?" ”

“…… Does the patriarch have any plans? ”

"I will not use my identity as a patriarch to order you, nor will I use my identity as an employer to demand you." Tapping on the map he was holding in his hand, Surtu replied to Duan Qing's words in the same soft voice: "According to the 'hint' you gave earlier, it is not far from our nearest next ruin, we can first choose it as our next target and direction of progress, and at the same time leave the scout and reconnaissance warriors to include the area near the wind ruin into the reconnaissance range of our Nasu clan." ”

"We're not going to do anything until we get to the next point of progress." He winked at Duan Qing: "What do you think of this plan?" ”

“…… Can you tell me about the Sioux plan? After being silent for a short while, Duan Qing then raised his head and asked, "The direction you originally planned to go, and where is the 'safe place' that you mentioned in your mouth?" ”

"Well."

The headband tied to his head fluttered in the air, and Surtu, who turned his head, replied in a low voice: "It's okay to tell you, after all, the Sioux have also left many valuable memories in their own records. ”

"Although they have not left the central region, the clan elders who have ruled for a while have also traveled to other parts of the continent." As he spoke, his expression as he looked into the distance was full of nostalgia: "It wasn't originally a legend worth mentioning, but now it has become a valuable source of information for us, and the place where we settled on the edge of the continent and the bridgehead that became the Bridge of Miracles is located is one of the pieces of information that we used when we fled from the center of the continent later. ”

"In the original plan, we were going to go to another part of the coastal area, where there are clusters of islands where we can continue to survive by the sea." Speaking of this, he turned his gaze back to Duan Qing: "But now, this plan may have changed. ”

"This is where you're going to go next?" Pointing to the same map, Duan Qing's voice became much heavier: "What kind of place is this?" ”

"The Pero River, which is the junction of the Pero River and the Endless Sea." Answering Duan Qing's question, Surtu's gaze was fixed on the junction between the gray-robed magician's finger and one of the nodes of the map: "If there is no accident, it is also a good settlement." “

"It's always nice to be near the river, at least to solve the problem of water." Pursing his mouth, Duan Qing also commented in a low voice: "But I always have some bad premonitions......

"It's okay, isn't that why we hired you?" With a burst of laughter, Surtu turned and walked towards the crowd of convoys in front of him: "Since we're going to find a way to solve your problem—"

"Naturally, you have to find a way to solve our problems."

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

Duan Qing's ominous premonition quickly became a reality, because the stronghold on the map was not far from the location of the migration team of the Nasu tribe, and countless shadowy crowds and rising cooking smoke also replaced the imaginary Jin Ge Iron Horse and the crowd of fierce beasts at this time, blocking Duan Qing and the others with the scene of arranging on the edge of a big river: "This, this is—"

"Looks like we've been preempted by someone else."

Lying on the edge of the grassy slope, Duan Qing, who was in charge of this reconnaissance and pathfinder, also bit the blade of grass and sighed at this time: "Surtu, a person who is in decline, finally took a good look at a place, but it was occupied so quickly. ”

"When you first explained this place to us, I thought this triangle by the sea and the river was a rare and good place." He also sighed and said this, and Gedmayne, who was lying on his stomach, coughed twice involuntarily at this time: "Since it is a good place, it is not a strange thing to be favored by others in advance." ”

"It's not like the Nashi or the Nake." Keeping a close eye on the settlement in front of him, Baibu Wushuang, who also came to reconnoitre, also put away the longbow he was half-holding at this time: "It's a new settlement, or a new tribe, looking at their camp layout and troop distribution, most of this group of people are also temporarily stationed in this place." ”

"That's good, at least there's something to talk about." Duan Qing, who clapped his hands and spit out the grass roots in his mouth, then also made his own voice: "Our time cannot be wasted, if there is a way to solve it quickly, it is better for us to choose this method." ”

"Hey, what are you going to do? You don't want to-"

"What are you afraid of, anyway, Surtu has already handed over the power to solve the problem to us before." Waving his hand to answer the question of Xue Lingphantom Ice beside him, Duan Qing then Huo Ran stood up with his body: "You don't need to go back and report, we can negotiate this matter ourselves." ”

"You're so confident." With a wry smile, he also got up his body, and then Gedmayne also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and walked down the grass slope: "Okay, anyway, even if it really collapses, it will only be a few of us who will die." ”

"As long as the talks are harmonious, it will not have any impact on the Surtu and the people of the Nasu tribe in the rear."

It was still a meadow not far from the seashore, and the figures that belonged to Duan Qing and the others who appeared successively were then gradually connected into a straight line under the sunlight, and the refreshing sea breeze then dispelled a little of the heat surrounding this team, but it could not dispel the dull and serious feeling surrounding this team. A few exclamations that noticed the abnormality then sounded on the edge of the river on the opposite side in the approach of this player team, lingering in the smoke and calm camp, and then there was a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping, the screams of the charge and the sound of metal knives and guns colliding with each other, and then accompanied by the appearance of countless tribal warriors forming a team, and came to Duan Qing and the others in an encircled manner: "Stop!" Stop it! ”

"Who are you?"

Amid the shouts mingled with the sound of horses' hooves, one of the leading burly warriors covered in leather armor then took the lead out of the heavily surrounded tribal ranks: "No tribal mark? Is it an exile? ”

"We are hired adventurers, mercenaries who have just crossed the Bridge of Miracles and have been displaced here from the north."

The sense of oppression of the tall tribal warrior on horseback then occupied everyone's field of vision, and the fierce eyes were also completely focused on Duan Qing's body at this time, the man in the gray magic robe then also raised his hand to stop the rest of the players from trying to take a combat posture, and raised his head and walked to the front of the crowd: "Our employer, the people of the Su tribe are currently in the northeast, and they originally wanted to come to the side of the Peiluo River to camp and rest, but I didn't expect the nobles to arrive here in advance, it's really a bit of a coincidence." ”

"Really?" After looking at Duan Qing suspiciously for a while, the burly warrior in leather armor replied in a low voice, "Isn't it trying to attack us—well, wait a minute, the Sioux?" I think I've heard this name somewhere. ”

"Is that the Nasu who was once known as the 'King of the North'?"
