1702 Hard Labor
"I can't help it, you should know my situation."
His gaze seemed to freeze in the air between the two of them along with the atmosphere, and Duan Qing, who was facing Jian Beidong, then relaxed the expression on his face: "How can a person who can't even leave this world and return to the real world talk about other things?" β
"The Duan family I know is not such a person." Jian Beidong shook his head: "Even if there is no way to leave this place, you must have thought of ten thousand ways to cause the enemy to fall into the land of the Nine Abysses in your heart." β
"Where can you say so much?" Still waving his hand and denying the other party's words, Duan Qing replaced the expression of a wry smile on his face: "It's been three years, even how deep and hateful it is, it should be smoothed out, not to mentionββ"
"Are you sure it's because of life? Not because of your cowardice and cowardice? Interrupting the other party's words indifferently, Jian Beidong's expression also carried a bit of mockery: "Have you admitted defeat?" β
"I-"
It seemed to become a little difficult to speak, Duan Qing looked at the grassland scene in the distance that was still receding under the clear sky and sighed: "Yes, that's right, as long as I don't pursue my past anymore, I actually don't have any complaints." β
"He's definitely not going to let you go, you know it very well." Jian Beidong, who replied, shook his head again firmly: "From the initial discovery of your existence until the battle of the grassland, has he ever left his hand in any confrontation with you?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"I won't say anything like 'trouble maker' or 'trouble attraction machine', and if you let him go, he won't let you go is outdated." Looking at Duan Qing's gradually sinking face, Jian Beidong's voice became even lower: "But if you continue to maintain this attitude of passive resistance, those karmic fires will eventually burn on your body, andββ"
"Those people around you."
Raising his head and pouring a large sip of wine, Jian Beidong let out a big gasp: "Even so, is it okay?" β
"Good fellow, worthy of my former brother and teammate." Pouting his mouth, Duan Qing then also scolded and took out the wine jug hanging from his waist: "In terms of agitation, you are considered to be blue." β
"I didn't mean to say these words, these are my real thoughts." The serious look on Jian Beidong's face was gradually replaced by a chuckle: "Why, are you really delusional that that old immortal guy will be merciful and take the initiative to let you and these people around you go?" β
"Don't forget what they are gathered around you for, everyone is here to help you, to support you." He stretched out his hand holding the wine jug and touched it in front of Duan Qing's chest: "Don't live up to their expectations." β
"I don't know what kind of blessings I've accumulated in my life, so that you people run to my side one after another." Duan Qing lowered his head and smiled bitterly again: "If it was before, I would have thought that this was the pride and deedness of being a Duan family, but now-"
"No matter how excessive, the charm of the Broken Sky Blade is still unmatched." Before Duan Qing could finish his exclamation, Jian Beidong on the side raised his hand again: "I don't believe it, ask those players and professional players now, even after three years, they still yearn for the existence of this name." β
"It's just done something that they can't do." It seemed that he had broken free from some of his previous emotions, and Duan Qing replied with a smile on his face: "If they have my conditions and resources at that time, they may not be able to do what I have achieved, and even now there are many candidates with more potential, such as the brothers of the Long family, and the young people who are second in the world." β
"They can't do it." Jian Beidong immediately denied it: "And don't forget, the use of the Yi Sword has irreversible side effects." β
ββ¦β¦β
"When you refused to teach me those methods, there was a trace of resistance and dissatisfaction in my heart, but to this day, I only feel fear and gratitude."
In the atmosphere that fell silent again, a moment of nostalgia flashed in Jian Beidong's eyes: "I don't know how far your family has studied this technique, but under the situation that virtual reality technology and the free world have developed to the present, the number of people who abuse the sword has begun to become more and more. β
"I know, you're talking about the Knights Templar, right?" Raising the wine jug in his hand to his mouth, Duan Qing replied indifferently: "I'm sorry, my personal strength is really limited, and I don't have the ability to stop this undercurrent." β
"I see what you mean." Scratching his nose, Jian Beidong's gaze stopped for a moment in front of Duan Qing's sudden muffled movements: "So we also started the action early." β
"We're going to dig into each other's roots."
Pointing to the feet where the two people were, Jian Beidong turned around and made an encircling motion: "Just like this floating city we are in nowβsince we can't get rid of the threat of those beast tides, it's good to get rid of the entire land." β
"We've built new alliances." He looked at Duan Qing intently: "As long as most of the players are willing to recognize our alliance and abandon the original existence, the so-called 'crimes' and 'rules' that extend from there will be dissolved by themselves." β
"I've heard this news for a long time, and Yu Yan has been busy with this matter for the past time." Taking a deep breath, Duan Qing slowly pressed back his face, which was a little red from the wine entering his throat: "I'm sorry I can't help in this matter, after all-"
"No, you can help us." With a low chuckle, Jian Beidong waved his hand: "As long as you are willing, even if you only lend us a name, this matter can be completely determined." β
"That is, you want?"
"Yes, that's what everyone is looking forward to."
As if an agreement had been reached on a certain level, the eyes of the two people who looked at each other shot different looks and brilliance, but the topic like a dumb riddle was interrupted by a loud shout that followed, accompanied by a white figure that gradually found behind the two people: "You two! No wonder I've been looking for you for so long, so you came here to be lazy! β
"Come back with me, Nahia is looking for you." The white-haired figure flashed a fragrant wind in the air, and the voice and eyes with a hint of vigilance that belonged to the snow spirit phantom ice also shifted from Jian Beidong, who had retreated to the side, to Duan Qing's body: "She seems to have some 'small tasks' that she wants to give to you." β
"We'll talk when we have time." Without waiting for Duan Qing to respond, Jian Beidong, who stood up, waved the wine jug in his hand and took the lead in slowly leaving towards the depths of the floating area: "I still have a lot to say to you...... Hmm, I think about it. β
"If you're interested, you might as well have a drink tonight."
*********************************
"Tonight?"
After passing through the countless crowds that were still busy in the ruins, Duan Qing turned to a small clearing near the front of the tower, and the figure belonging to Nahia had also broken away from the outline of the tower at this time, standing in place with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking: "Not tonight, I still have a lot of things to do." β
"Just by the way, it doesn't matter if you don't want to come." Duan Qing gestured and hugged his hands: "It's a pity, I originally wanted to make a barbecue meal with my own hands to treat you......"
"I know you're trying to whet my appetite, but don't forget where you stand and who you are." Turning around expressionlessly, Nahia stared at Duan Qing and whispered, "If you don't have time to go to the banquet, won't you bring it to me with the food?" β
"Ahem, ahem...... Well, I remember. So Duan Qing could only cough his throat with a dry smile: "Thank you for your dedication to our new territory, I will honor you with the best craftsmanship later." β
"At present, the degree of recovery of the Violet Circle is not complete."
Putting away the slight disgust on her face, Nahia, who was dressed in an ordinary white cloth robe, then began to talk about business: "I don't know if it's lucky or unlucky, this Void Territory I prepared is almost no different from the Violet Tower in reality in terms of structure, so in order to restore the normal operation of all functions, many energy circuits and magic structure cycles also need to be restored." β
"Without anyone helping me, the restoration can turn into a long project." Speaking of this, she glanced at Duan Qing again: "This is still without anyone disturbing our territory. β
"No distractions?" Duan Qing's eyes were a little more vigilant: "Someone has already started to fight the idea of our floating realm?" β
"There were several scans of magic passing by as we floated along." Pointing to the depths of the clear sky, Naxia's expression also became a little more serious: "With our speed reduced to now, the other party may have locked our position very easily." β
"We've slowed down?" As if he had just noticed this problem, Duan Qing lowered his gaze in the same direction: "What's going on?" β
"Of course, it's because of the restoration of the windbreak." Gesturing around, Nahia's face also showed a look of course: "The windproof barrier will block the invasion of the high altitude and strong winds, and naturally it will also prevent the action of the wind elemental magic, unless it is carefully designed and released, the idea of using ordinary wind power to move forward is now difficult to realize." β
"We're moving forward now by the dual effects of gravity magic and buoyancy magic, but due to the influence of natural winds, its speed will naturally be greatly limited." Speaking of this, she casually gathered her long hair: "The advantage of the sky allows us to avoid the threat of the beast tide, so I don't care much about speed, but now-"
"Probably a sacred mountain." Frowning and pondering for a while, Duan Qing followed this conclusion and said, "Being able to accurately find us in this area of the Wind Continent is only possible in a place like the Divine Mountain. β
"Speaking of which, I'm still acting as an oracle." Scratching her hair in some distress, Nahia's face showed a look of annoyance that only Violet had to have: "It's really troublesome, do I still have to continue acting to deal with them?" β
"It's probably more than just dealing with each other." Duan Qing straightened his face: "If our reasoning wasn't wrong before, they might be the biggest enemy we need to face next." β
"You don't believe me." Twisting her small nose, Naxia's girlish face that did not match her temperament also followed her smug expression and put on a confident smile: "You just wait and see, when those people from the sacred mountain appear, I will let you see what the real oracle is." β
"No, I think it's better to prepare." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "Without knowing what the power of the Divine Mountain is, it is really too difficult for a few of us little people to resist a possible air attack. β
"Just take a look at the performance of that Hulun tribe." Nahia turned and walked in the direction of the tower: "They figured out an ancient ruin and a high-energy cannon and thought they could deal with the Sacred Mountainβwouldn't the Divine Mountain be very weak if it was inferred?" β
"Don't, don't, I can't take that level of energy bombardment." Duan Qing hurriedly shook his hand: "And that's just wishful thinking of the Hulun Clan, since that Divine Mountain can rule the entire Wind Continent for so many years, their strength is definitely not at our level." β
"So your main goal now is to get a good survey of the situation on Mount Kinabalu." Nodding her head, Naxia's voice sounded again before disappearing into the tower: "Go and collect more information, whether it's in the sky or underground, I don't want to see a group of guys I don't know when I finally face the mountain...... Ah, right. β
"Don't forget to help me prepare that list." She turned around and pointed to the magic stone that had been stuffed into Duan Qing's hand before, and at the same time pressed the faintly surrounding magic rune back to her side: "This is a key material for repairing the territory, I don't have time to deal with it myself." β
"Hey, aren't you asking for too much?"
Seeing the other party disappear into the light of the magic teleportation, Duan Qing put away his wry smile with his mouth: "Okay, who made me your apprentice and soul friend." β
"Cloud iron, high luanstone, quartz sand, and all kinds of magic gems...... Alas, I simply don't know the sufferings of the world, my mentor. With a sigh and a sigh, he took back the energy injected into the magician, and Duan Qing walked in the direction he came from with his head downcast: "Forget it, things must be done one by one." β
"Let's start with the banquet."
