"It turned out to be Your Excellency Aoyama, please come in, please come in......"
After a period of time, at the edge of the dock, Duan Qing, who was surrounded by more and more gangs, appeared in front of Duan Qing again, the figure of the player named Emei Song Qingshu appeared, but at this time, he changed his previous disdainful posture, and his face was full of a kind smile: "I didn't know Taishan before, you must bear with me." ”
“…… Well, I don't think so. Duan Qing, who was still standing in place looking at the sea, replied weakly: "But...... What is the situation now? What about the people of your guild? ”
"That...... I have already informed you of your affairs, and the president has asked me to take charge of your reception first. Emei Song Qingshu replied with a smile: "If you want, how about we go in and sit together?" If you want to visit our station, I can show you around as well......"
"No, no, no, no."
It seemed that due to the rapid change in the attitude of the guy in front of him, the second congregation of the world, which was originally blocked around with unkind faces, also retreated to the side a little overwhelmed, but the most embarrassed face in the field was Duan Qing himself, who was standing in the middle: "I'm just ...... It's just a whim, and I don't want to go in and visit, and although I don't know who designed this cottage-like thing of yours, I have something else...... Well, what about your family president? ”
"The eldest of our family...... I went out to train. ”
Emei Song Qingshu, who nodded and bent over, replied with a smile: "The other main guild members also went out together, and they started a new round of pre-war training activities with the coach, so there are no people on the side of the station at present, and there are not a few top guys......"
"Training? Coaching? Duan Qing asked in surprise, "Could it be that all the people have gone out?" ”
"yes, yes, I'm sorry." Emei Song Qingshu nodded hurriedly: "When I told them your name, they seemed to be very surprised, so I had to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the meeting and treat you as a distinguished guest...... Well, how about we go to the dock tavern in a moment? It had the freshest fish and the best wine in town, and I hadn't tasted it in a long time......
"Well, forget it."
Scratching his head with some regret, Duan Qing, who was originally ready for battle, finally refused the other party's invitation: "Originally, I just walked here and wanted to stop by and ask, but since they are not here, ......
"If you have anything to ask, you can leave it to us."
After looking at each other silently for a while, Song Qingshu, who was smiling, pointed at the players around him: "We are all members of the second guild in the world, and with so many people present, I guarantee that we can bring your words to the guild leader." ”
"Is that so?" Duan Qing pinched his chin and looked around: "Since that's the case...... Ask your president on my behalf. ”
"Have any strange guys been in contact with them lately, such as...... Let them take refuge in a certain force or something. ”
In the increasingly embarrassed expressions of the players, Duan Qing whispered something like this: "If someone has mentioned such a wake-up to you, I hope you can tell me." ”
He smiled, then turned around, and walked towards the periphery of the dock while pushing aside the surrounding crowd, and the nearby players did not show any intention of stopping, even the vicious expression they wanted to show was well restrained under the hint of Emei Song Qingshu, and he then rubbed his nose, waved his companions who were guarding the surroundings to their original posts, and then returned to the cottage-like station with a look of hanging: "Okay, send it away." ”
"Listening to what you said earlier, I'm really afraid he'll come in." The demon in the corner came back to life with a smile and replied, "When the time comes, we'll have to find a place to hide again." ”
"Then I don't care, anyway, the drama has to be enough." Emei Song Qingshu pouted and said, "What you said is light, in the end...... Isn't it up to me to do all this dirty work? ”
"Good, good, good." Yun on the side replied with a smile: "Since we can't go up, then we can only praise you, right?" ”
"I said ......"
Smirked triumphantly for a while, and Song Qingshu, who was carrying a long sword, retracted his face again: "Why don't you see him?" ”
"We don't care, but we have to take care of the feelings of a certain boss." Without waiting for the red-haired man to open his mouth, Yun Jingbu took the lead in initiating the rhythm of teasing: "Otherwise, if we really meet and fight, our little cottage can't afford to ......."
"Fighting? Does he have any grudge against our guild? Emei Song Qingshu asked in surprise: "Isn't it the guy who was in the limelight at the auction a few days ago, what's the big deal......?"
"It's not that simple, boy." The demon resurrected and shook his head and replied, "That guy probably understands this truth too, otherwise...... He wouldn't give up so easily. ”
"Maybe he noticed our lie and just left." Looking at the direction in which Duan Qing had left, Yun Jingbu whispered, "If that person is really as strong as the legend, it shouldn't be too difficult to find us......
"If that person is really what the legend says, what are we doing here?" The red-haired demon resurrection raised an eyebrow: "What is the angry madman still fighting with him?" Hurry up and roll up the cover and go home......"
"Okay, okay, this is the free world, maybe the gap between us...... It's not as big as we thought. ”
With a faint sigh, Yun was shocked and spread his hands to the two people in front of him: "But since he left that question, let's talk about the restorers, this man came to us inexplicably and asked us...... The reason for this is probably not as simple as it seems. ”
"To be able to know about it...... It's already very strange in itself. The demon resurrected and groaned, "It shouldn't have been long since they came to Liberty City, right?" How did they know about something earlier? ”
"The Principality has been dealing with the Restorationists for so long, and may have mastered a lot of information and skills that we don't have." Emei Song Qingshu also opened his mouth in a timely manner: "You should have heard what he said, if this guy really doesn't know anything, then he won't just pass by to inquire about the news, and then leave with a look of indifference......"
"The key is to remind those two words."
His eyes once again cast into the depths of the city in the distance, and the voice from Yun Jingbu sounded faintly again: "If he really knows all this......
"So what exactly is he trying to remind us?"
*******************************
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
When the time came to the night of Liberty City, when another carnival and darkness descended on this place, Eduin, who was sitting in a room in the Kias Tavern, slapped the table fiercely and said loudly to the adventurer opposite him in his unique snarky voice: "Don't think that if you follow the line of old Joel, you will be able to walk sideways in Liberty City, if you annoy me, your corpse will float on the canal around the city tomorrow!" ”
"I don't mean to be provocative, I just want to answer some doubts in my mind, after all, I have visited several throne owners before, but they don't seem to want to see me at all......"
"What do you mean by that? Do you think I, Eduin, have become the best bully right now? Such a swagger in front of me...... Do you really think I can't do anything about you? ”
"Please don't get so excited, these are just a few ordinary problems in your eyes, although your overreaction is a little bit of a thief......"
"Suspicious little one! I think you're really trying to die! ”
The tall and thin man in the room stood up screaming, and waved his hands at the figure across the table: "Kill him for me!" Let him understand the rules of the Free City before he dies! ”
"So, ah......"
With the flickering of light and shadow, the figure in the tavern suddenly became manic, and then in a voice like an explosion, it returned to the silence of death again: "When did you have ...... Am I relying on the delusion that old Joel is standing in front of you? ”
"This, this is ......" Edun's voice trembled as he stretched out his hand at the other party, "What the hell is this?" ”
"It's just a small use of power, and it probably won't get into the eyes of your throne holder."
Duan Qing, who sat back in his original seat, slowly retracted the momentum that seemed to belong to this world, and then snapped his fingers: "Just as the duel between magicians can always be earth-shattering, the collision of pure power often has unexpected explosive effects, and there have been several such phenomena in the original riverside battles, and for the contest between you throne holders...... It's the same thing. ”
"You, you ......" Edurean, who had gradually calmed down, looked at the shattered windows around the tavern and the crowd everywhere, and asked in a gloomy voice, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Are you finally willing to listen carefully to what I have to say?"
Showing a bright smile to the other side, Duan Qing raised one of his fingers: "So those of us who have not been in the Free City for a long time are not used to the habit of talking with your fists at all, and you are not willing to talk in a peaceful way, so you have to pull us to the same level, I don't know how those guys of the Restorationists fancy you......"
"What did you say?"
"Do you really have the value you deserve?"
Waving his hand at the other party, Duan Qing restrained the smile on his face: "Or are you just inadvertently playing the role of a-stirring stick, in order to drag everyone in the Free City into the water?" Or are you just a bunch of idiots who don't know anything? I don't even understand what you and your allies are doing in Liberty City for, just to grab territory and fight fiercely? Don't you have the slightest responsibility to be the master of the City of Freedom, and the ...... to perceive potential dangers? Enough intelligence? ”
“…… I'll warn you again, I've had enough of your cynicism. Grabbing the weapon beside him, Eduin replied in a low voice with a dark face, "Please explain your purpose, or...... Duel with me. ”
"Alright then, I'll ask again." Duan Qing retracted his finger helplessly: "You...... Is it a traitor? ”
“…… Ha, isn't this something that the city lord should be concerned about? ”
After looking at Duan Qing for a long time, Edure pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth: "Are you no longer a lackey on Old Joel's side, but have become the city lord's eyeliner?" ”
"If you can see the city lord because of this, it won't be a big deal." Duan Qing shook his head with some regret: "So...... Next question, what is the final verdict on Garo? ”
“…… How do you know he's been sentenced? ”
"I'm the one in the last fight, of course I should know, don't forget that if it weren't for me, that guy might have killed two of my companions......"
"What, are you afraid of that guy's revenge?"
"I don't want to hear this nonsense, I just want to know the results."
In the silent tavern, which was completely different from the hustle and bustle of the outside world, Duan Qing pinched his eyebrows and lowered his head: "Is he the traitor your city lord is looking for?" What was the outcome of that night? ”
"The result...... Ha, don't you know all the results? ”
Wielding the stick in his hand, Eduin laughed, "Didn't you see him again at the auction the next day?" Hahahaha......"
"So...... The third question. ”
The rhythmic question sounded again, interrupting the deliberate laughter on the other side: "What is the reason for that silver-black knight?" ”
“…… What, are you doubting Reiner's authority? ”
This time, Eduin seemed to become interested: "Do you want to challenge the first person on the throne?" ”
"Don't guess, just answer." Duan Qing's eyebrows gradually raised: "Let go of that guy who is good at using black aura, there must be a reason to convince everyone, right?" ”
“…… That's why you doubt that guy? ”
Eduan glanced at Duan Qing's face, and then shrugged his shoulders senselessly, "Do you know Convina?" ”
"I ...... I don't know. Duan Qing replied, "But I've heard of his name. ”
"That's it." Eduin sighed, "I'll admit that the guy who likes to assassinate does use some kind of strength similar to Convina's corrosive aura, but ...... It was indeed his own skill, not taught to him by the old immortal fellow. ”
“……”
"Garo's skills are Garo's own domain, and the two are not the same thing."
The eyes of the two men met in the air for a while, and Eduan said the last words lightly: "This already involves the other party's secret, so Reiner only told us so much." ”
"So you, Tie Lin, and Jia Luo......" Duan Qing's eyes drooped: "You all have nothing to do with the Restorers?" ”
"Old Joel must have told you, right?" Edunin craned his eyes: "They are always like this, they like to use their own standards to slander others, but I'm used to it, and this is not the first time he's done it anyway...... Hey, where are you going? ”
"Why, don't you want me to leave like this?"
Duan Qing, who walked to the door of the tavern, turned around and smiled, and then pushed open the door with one hand: "Whether they are true or not......
"I'm still very happy to be one of you."
