"Have you heard, something seems to be going on at Fars Fortress. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Big brother, you haven't paid attention to the trend of the forum for a few days? How long has it been......"

In the Traveler's House at Karon Pass, an army of adventurers composed of players still occupies half of the country. Although the number of daily appearances here is much lower than usual due to the League Cup, most players still don't want to give up their usual adventures and battles to find their own game fun. And whether they're rewarded or empty-handed, one of the essential ways they can share is to go back to town, find the tavern, and have a drink with their companions.

Of course, the possibility of having a drink with strangers is not out of the question, not to mention that it is also a permanent location for information exchange and event triggering.

On a square table near the door, several players were talking about various topics at this time, chatting with their teammates and showing their boastful capital. However, the captain in front of him seemed to have shown the wrong content, because the battle of Fars Fortress that he had just learned about had already spread a few days ago.

"Hey, I'm not busy preparing for the competition, and you don't know about going to the field to practice every day, so naturally you don't pay much attention to these things......"

"Come on, boss, do you still dream of racing? Last year I remember not even having an audition......"

"Stop, stop, it's a long time ago, don't bring it up again, okay, and your boss is not what I used to be, this game is so real, we definitely have a lot more opportunities than in the past!"

The lively atmosphere in the hotel is something that even those who don't want to talk to will involuntarily join in, not to mention the players who are naturally accustomed to the hustle and bustle, taking advantage of this special time to share their thoughts as much as possible. The two tables on the other side of the hall before even turned against each other because of the different objects they supported, and then they were driven out by the guards stationed at Karon Pass - the guards here are not the city guards raised by Fenghua Town, but the regular army sent by the principality to guard here, and the average player still has to tremble when they see the bright armor and standard broadsword.

"So what, even if you are given a thousand more chances, you can't do it." A female player sitting next to him said disdainfully, "I don't know your level yet......"

"Oh, my wife, would you like to give some face? Even if there is a gap in strength, at least we have self-confidence. The person before said in a low voice, and then patted his chest again: "We are also players who have experience in several competitions, and we will definitely not have stage fright!" ”

"But big brother, the way of playing this time seems to be different from before, it's hard to say whether your little experience can come in handy." A young player on the other side chuckled.

"What are you afraid of, those tricks of the Alliance, haven't we seen enough? At most, it's a change of scene, a change of competition system or something, as long as it's not too unlucky, and you meet a professional player, it's a safe thing to enter the next round of the game! The captain continued to swell: "You just wait for the news of my victory, hahahaha!" ”

"So it's not like it's a face-fighting ......," the female player, who was known as the wife, whispered on the side.

"But the boss can still participate, we are still very happy, unlike Brother Daxing, I heard that it seems that he will not participate this year......"

"Yes, he still has the strength, and he has worked hard for so many years......"

"Why? Is it because your heart is tired? ”

"No, it seems to be a real reason, just like flowers......" The player from before moved out of the way and let the waiter bring the food they wanted to the table, and continued.

"Wait, wait, wait." Hearing the captain here, he shouted again: "Flowers are blooming and you don't fight?" Did he announce his retirement? ”

"Captain, you really should pay attention to the news." The player said weakly, "He's been a shame for a long time, and fools know he wants to retire......"

"But aren't those conjectures that have always been other people's conjectures?"

"It's about to become a reality." The player's voice became embarrassed: "It is said that the official news will be released soon, and the leader of Vizad, the former generation of influential figures, is finally retiring from the stage of history." ”

"Isn't this normal, no matter how powerful the player is, he will grow old after all, do you expect them to be strong for a lifetime?" Another player sitting opposite put down the barbecue in his hand and poured a big sip of water: "I want to be as strong as a blade that breaks the sky, but in the end, I still end up retiring......

"That man's retirement is still in doubt." The previous player immediately retorted, "And isn't there a rumor recently that he's going to come back to the world?" ”

"Ha, that rumor is even more unreliable than the flowery one."

The player continued to feast on himself, while facing the eyes of others looking at him and said, "I went to investigate those rumors on the Internet before, and guess what I found?" ”

"What?"

"Vest, vest." The man raised his finger triumphantly, and it didn't seem like the first time he had attracted attention in front of everyone: "My friend who manages the affairs of the forum told me that those who spread the news seem to be the thugs of the Freedom Wings behind them, and those messages must have been deliberately released to disrupt the sight......"

A few people, including the captain and the captain's wife, look at me, I look at you, and it seems that they can't accept this result. Finally, the player who had argued with him before asked, "But...... What's the point of them doing this? Do you use these fictitious news to deceive the broad masses of the people, and then have fun? ”

"Of course, there is a purpose." The man tossed the bones from his hand aside, then wiped his mouth: "According to my inference, they should still want to deceive people, but it is not us who are deceiving, but the people of the Great Guild." ”

He pointed in the northwest direction: "For example, those people in the rivers and lakes ......"

"That's right!"

Several people were stunned for a while, and then the captain slapped the table and shouted: "The Broken Wind and Thunder of the rivers and lakes, as well as Grayson, those people who are bitter and hateful, will definitely not be happy to see this kind of thing happen, so they will definitely be suspicious and even distracted...... Tut-tut, Wings of Freedom's trick is really good off-the-field! ”

"And the gang in Arashiyama." The swordsman player on the other side of the table continued: "In short, as soon as this kind of news is released, those who have been pressed very badly in the past will have a void in their hearts, even if it is proved that this news is fake news, their psychological state will be more or less affected. Just look at the battle between the Empire and the Duchy, and if it weren't for the NPCs who jumped out of the Fars Fortress for some reason, you might have been beaten badly......"

"Oh? What happened there at the Fars Fortress? ”

Several people looked at the side of the table at the same time - it was not any player on their team who had asked the question, but a man who suddenly appeared among them at some point, and the player picked up the sumptuous food on the table as if no one else was around, and stuffed it into his mouth like an acquaintance, before continuing in a muffled voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong? That's what we're asking, right? The captain looked at a certain man who also had an ID and should also be a player, and pressed down on the idea of triggering a plot: "Who are you, do we know you, and come over to eat our things...... Oops, hey, put down that ham! ”

"Don't see each other, everyone is friends when they go out, and they are both adventurers, so it's right to take care of each other." So the man pushed his hands, and his face was full of apologetic smiles: "The point is that my money has been spent, and I really can't afford to eat......"

"What? It turned out to be a flower child? The player who was interrupted looked like he was about to jump: "It's going to be us?" Who are you, look at our brothers, you are easy to bully, aren't you? ”

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I like to make friends in the next ......"

"Don't come to this set, grandpa, I've seen a lot of these tricks! Hurry up and go, don't disturb us chatting...... Uh-no, eat! ”

"So be it." Seeing that this method did not work, the man resorted to a new move: "How about you treat me to a meal and I'll tell you some big news?" ”

He said with a mysterious look on his face, while looking at the player who had been breaking the news before: "Definitely exclusive news, huh?" ”

"What? Just a few messages want us to have a treat? You think too beautifully......" The captain just wanted to continue filming the case, but was immediately stopped by the teammate opposite: "Big brother, don't worry, and listen to him, even if what he says is false, we will just drive him away." ”

In other words, even if what he says is true, we can say that it is false and then drive him away, right......

The captain who sat back in his place looked at the teammate opposite, who had already folded his arms and looked at the man opposite with a look of "accepting the challenge": "You first tell me about your so-called information, let's estimate the price, if it is really valuable, not only will we invite this meal, maybe we will reward you with a few travel expenses......"

"Well said, well said." The man smiled and responded, then pinched his chin and thought for a while: "You seem to have said just now that the news that the Broken Sky Blade has reappeared is fake, right?" ”

"Huh?"

"That's true."

Several players present were stunned at the same time, and then laughed in unison: "Hahahaha, don't fool people, what you say is true?" ”

"Of course...... I have proof. ”

With a look of calm and mystery, the man suppressed the laughter of the players present: "I know some things, they are enough to prove ...... The man is here again, and ......."

He looked around at the unnatural expressions of the crowd: "This game is being played. ”

Skybreaker is playing the free world - if this news is true, the shock it can cause is completely imaginable. Including the female player, none of the players present were rookies, and naturally they could imagine the hidden meaning behind this news. The player before involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva, then pursed his lips and asked with a somewhat solemn face, "You...... Seriously? What evidence? ”

"Evidence......" The man smiled, then picked up a piece of roast meat on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, but this time no one stopped him: "Let's exchange it, okay?" ”

"Hey, don't be too ......"

"I'm still the same question I had before." The man with the food in his mouth interrupted: "Just tell me about the Fars Fortress." ”

As if relieved, the swordsman player put away his posture of holding his arms, and instead propped one hand on the table, muttering in a low voice: "This kind of thing is not a secret, you can check it on the Internet and you will know it......"

"Sorry, I've been busy lately, so I haven't been offline much."

"Alright, okay, I got it." The player figured it out, "Then I'll just introduce it briefly." ”

"That was not long ago...... At that time, the Empire had not yet fully captured the city of Zaraha, but the commander of the Snow Wolf Army, Yug, made a bold decision at that time, and they took advantage of their speed to bypass the city and surprise the troops in the rear. It seemed that the information in his mind was sorted out, and the man's words became faster and faster: "But in comparison, the troops of the principality are obviously a little more stupid, they were caught off guard, and even later the other party directly broke through to the gate of the Fars Fortress." ”

"This raid came to a short end in that place, because the water mage of the Council of Seven, 'Fiery Ice' suddenly appeared and intervened in that war." Thinking of the scene of thousands of miles of ice under the fortress that day, the player couldn't help but shiver: "Although no one was killed by that magical blizzard, everyone was frozen into popsicles, and the battle naturally ended." ”

"Wait a minute." The man, who had been listening carefully, suddenly interrupted the other party: "When was that?" ”

"Uh...... It should be the fire on February 11th.,Who remembers the days in the game.,Anyway, it's what happened from yesterday to the day before yesterday in real time...... Why do you have so many questions! Do you want to talk about it? ”

"Hmm, did that happen two days ago? That's a bit fast. ”

Ignoring the player's anger, the man said to himself, and then, along with the other players, looked in the direction of the inn door - the noise of the originally lively inn suddenly quieted down, which happened occasionally in the lively atmosphere, but this time the reason seemed to be different.

Two women appeared at the door, a female swordsman and a waitress to be exact.

The female swordsman wore a beautiful suit of light armor, with a women's thin sword pinned to her waist, and her long blue hair behind the white headband went down to the back of everyone's eyes, while the other female player was even more peculiar because she was dressed in a way that showed her identity as a waitress to the people around her - she wore a blue and white waitress dress, and it was also Western-style.

But the most important thing is the beautiful appearance of these two female players, the captain sitting near the door, his eyes are about to pop out: "I...... Damn, what a punctual girl...... Ouch yo yo! ”

The soft flesh on his waist was unsurprisingly attacked in secret.

"She, who are they? What a beautiful couple ......"

"Just look at the name, just look at the name...... Whispering? The name ......"

"Is that the gossip?"

"No......"

In the whispered discussion of the surrounding players, the woman with long blue hair frowned as if she was used to it, and scanned the environment in the hall with a cold face, as if looking for a place to stay: "...... Hey? ”

Her eyes were fixed on the table on the captain's side.

Did you get lucky today...... When the captain was secretly rejoicing, the player on the opposite side suddenly shouted, "What about people? No way...... It can't really be a cheat, right? ”

Next to them, the man who had a calm and mysterious face had disappeared in front of them at this time.
