Understanding the meaning of Xue Ling Phantom Ice, Duan Qing, who didn't hesitate too much, quickly chose to go offline, but unfortunately, when his figure appeared in the real home, the figure belonging to the powerful landlady had already disappeared from her room, and she didn't know where to go.

"It should ...... Nothing, right? ”

Standing by the window and looking at it for a while, Duan Qing finally did not choose to go out to find the woman's figure, but after wandering for a period of time, he returned to the game world, the flying snow belonging to the winter moon was still falling in the sky above their heads, but the spring water of the Starwind Spring did not show any snowflakes because of the existence of the cold, and the people who were resting in the tent were also listening to the words of a bearded uncle for them at this time: "...... Therefore, many people who have studied it believe that the water source of this spring actually comes from the underground of the Starwind Plains, which explains why it always does not freeze and always contains so many magical elements...... Hahaha! Now that I think about it, the name Star Wind Spring seems to fit this very well, and I don't know if it was the bastard who came up with it in the first place......"

"Then, wouldn't it be very unsafe for us to live around here......" Xiao Hongchen, who was holding a kettle, glared, and then suddenly exclaimed: "No, can this water be drunk?" ”

"Don't worry, we've been drinking here for almost a month, and we haven't seen anyone have any problems." Laughing and patting Xiao Hongchen's shoulder, Richard pointed in the direction where the spring was: "There is more than one water source with a large number of magic elements, and the Hongshui River is a big example, but don't you see that the people of Lange Forest and Etta County are also alive and well now?" I've heard that in the past, there were often plenty of skilled magic apprentices there, so if you drink too much, you might be able to pass the mage's appraisal and become a ...... Uh, what about the Flame Mage! ”

"Is that really the case?" In the laughter of the bearded uncle, Ning Lan, who was standing in the corner of the tent, suddenly asked in a low voice, "A water source with rich elements...... Ning Lan remembered that in the canal in the north of Freedom City, a magic array that filtered the elements was specially installed. ”

"Now it seems that it was probably Molnar's handiwork."

Finally lifting the curtain and entering the tent, Duan Qing responded in a gentle voice: "To accumulate the energy needed for the last Molna Star, it is not enough to rely on the magician's own ability, there must be various elemental absorption systems installed in that city, and the aqueduct in the north may be just one of them......"

"In order not to be obtrusive, the original urban designers did not completely extend this kind of installation and magic circle into the Hongshui River." The evil young man of Jicheng who was holding his arms nodded approvingly: "This can not only ensure that the surrounding ecology does not change, but also hide people's eyes and ears......"

"A design that would have made all the archmaguses to be ashamed, but unfortunately it was wasted in this way." Duan Qing smiled and spread his hands, and then turned his gaze to the direction where Richard was: "Uncle, you should have heard about everything that happened there, right?" You...... Know this guy named Molnar? ”

“…… Of course I do. ”

Scratching his nose and bowing his head, Richard, who was on his knees with one hand, replied in a low voice: "A mysterious figure hundreds of years ago, a wizard among magicians, although there are no secrets related to pirates in his rumors, but now it should be overthrown......"

"Many people, including the Mage Council, should be gathering towards that city now, right?" His gaze was withdrawn from the direction of a certain red-haired girl, and Duan Qing raised his finger: "That magic array, and the secret behind the Free City...... How long can we hide it now? ”

“…… It depends on the attitude of those who hold the throne. Richard sighed slightly: "But with what I know about those people, even if the emperor of the empire comes in person, most of them will not make concessions, so we can continue to be grateful and look forward to another big war over there in the Free City after a while......"

"It seems that our Windflower Town adventurer leader is very familiar with the situation around the world?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Don't you brag to us about your past glorious years?" ”

“…… I said, why are you so obedient today, it turns out that you are waiting for me to expose your hole cards? Richard hung his eyes, and after a while, he waved his hand stupidly: "No, no, the children go away...... Enough of the story, it's time for you to get to work. ”

"Shouldn't you thank me for bringing you so much free labor?" Pointing to the members of the Jianghu Guild who were busy building camps outside the tent, Duan Qing asked with a smile on his face, "Even if you don't plan to tell us some secret history, at least you should sell us some top-secret information, right?" ”

“…… You even brought back little Nina, what else do you need 'top secret information'? Richard, who stood up and just wanted to walk out, turned sideways and looked at the other party's face: "I'm not one of those magic sticks, and I don't know how to tell fortunes......"

"In that case, I'll change the question." Duan Qing stroked his forehead, and then asked in a low voice, "Why did the Restorers choose Fenghua Town as the location for their rise...... Do you have any thoughts? ”

“……”

In the extremely quiet atmosphere in the tent, Richard, who was looking at Duan Qing, slowly turned his head, and then under the common gaze of everyone, he stretched out his hand and lifted the roller blind: "If you let me say it......

"Maybe they're doing it for Little Andalchel Hill? Hahahaha......"

The loud shout that sounded again moved into the distance with the figure of the uncle-like guy slowly leaving, and gradually disappeared into the ears of the players, and Ning Lan, who had short hair on her sideburns, took the lead in retracting her gaze, and then looked at Duan Qing's side face: "...... Why does the gentleman ask? Did the gentleman know something? ”

"Just a test, nothing else." Duan Qing shook his head slightly, and then replied with a smile on his face: "Of course, we still have a chance in the future, after all, I still have a lot of handles about him." ”

"That'...... When Mr. went offline just now, did you contact Miss Xue? ”

"Uh......"

Looking at the few vague glances that shot over inadvertently, Duan Qing scratched his cheek and snorted: "That, that...... Probably there was something urgent in reality, anyway, I didn't see her, and the sentence I left before was probably just kindly told me......"

"Let's get going." He looked at Mengzhu, who still didn't talk much in the tent, with his head down, and then pointed in a certain direction outside the door: "Since there are more people now......

"There's so much more we can do."

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

The wind and snow that have not stopped for several days have finally brought great difficulties to the march in this area, and at the same time, it can also be regarded as providing a chance for those refugees who escaped from Fenghua Town to hide safely, although the cold weather has occasionally shown signs of slowing down during this time, but the snow on the Fenghua Plain has accumulated nearly half a meter high, not only the NPCs in the free world, but even the players who are not afraid of the sky and the earth are now beginning to have the idea of not wanting to go out for adventures. What's more, a large number of them are hiding in the mountains and forests around this Fenghua Plain together with those NPCs from their respective camps at this time. Naturally, there are players who want to take advantage of the opportunity to fish, but this choice needs to overcome great difficulties, not only to solve the survival conditions of going out on adventures in cold and snowy days, but also to pay attention to various threats from the same forces that do not belong to the same force, Duan Qing's Fool Adventure Group is such an example, they still chose to set off under such conditions, and then after passing through the blockade of countless other forces and most of the Fenghua Plain, they came to the entrance of the mountain road and canyon without danger.

Of course, in the middle, they also followed Little Nina's request and went to Ronna's hiding place, but there was nothing left except for a trace that had been searched extensively.

"It's a place I miss so much."

Dressed in various fur cloaks, several people looked at the mountain road leading to the south, after all, four of the six people in the current team were born in the south of this mountain road: "Should we go back and see?" ”

"What do you think we're here for?" Duan Qing, who was holding his arms, squinted at Xiao Hongchen's tough guy-like appearance: "I came all the way to this place...... Is it nostalgia for the old? ”

"According to the previous intelligence...... This place should also fall under the sphere of influence of the Restorationists. Ning Lan, who was in the secret voice on the side, also reminded loudly: "At the beginning of the battle in Xifeng County, the restorers had already cleared all the territory in the entire county......

"Including Greenstone Village, huh?" Duan Qing said in a deep voice: "It's just that they withdrew later, and most of them didn't look down on the strategic significance of the rear of this mountain road and the value of that small village." ”

"The Emerald Forest should have some value of its own."

Squatting in front of the side and paying attention to the movement on the mountain road, the evil young man of the city said in a low voice: "Those forests that were originally made of stones should be a resource that can be used in themselves, right?" Although the principality did not produce any results during this time, it does not mean that the restorationists are also so backward......"

"After all, it's the remnant of the self-proclaimed Ancient Magic Empire, and it should know much better than us." Duan Qing's voice also became low: "Otherwise...... So the remote Greenstone Village should not have been affected by this war. ”

"When we came here, we also encountered a lot of teams of restorationists, and that alone speaks for itself." Mengzhu, who was also looking at the distance of the mountain road, said: "Most of those people came out of this place, which means that they are still going back and forth between Fenghua Town and Greenstone Village......

"Yes...... To transport the kind of stone you are talking about? The Thousand-Fingered Crane holding the staff whispered, "What is the use of that stone?" ”

"Based on our experience when we first started the game, the stone called 'Emerald' was very useful."

In the still flying snowflakes, Duan Qing slowly showed a reminiscent expression: "Including the diaries and devices left behind in the Emerald Tower, they all pointed to the era of the Ancient Magic Empire at that time...... Since he is a self-proclaimed inheritor, they can see at a glance that those things can play a role, and the low-key defense in the recent period may also be a preparation for the relevant plans here......"

"The purpose that Richard is referring to may have something to do with this." He pointed to the capped mountain range that was erected on the side of the mountain road, "After all, the person who controls the Little Andachel Mountains is also the same as controlling this path." ”

"So how do we get there?" Mengzhu muttered quietly, "Although I heard that those villagers in Greenstone Village have escaped, we don't know where they are now......"

"Coming to find their whereabouts is also one of the tasks this time." Duan Qing said in a deep voice, "And...... Since this is the only way out of the village, it means that they must be around here. ”

"Is it in those ravines?" Looking at the bottom of the cliff on the other side of the mountain road, Xiao Hongchen said in disbelief: "Don't be kidding, how can there be a way to go down here?" Do you want to jump down with your eyes closed......"

"What people!"

A loud shout suddenly sounded in the distance above their heads, on the top of the rocks above the mountain road, where two guys dressed in black were looking at the position of Duan Qing and the others, and waved their hands vigorously in the direction behind them: "Quick!" There are intruders appearing! ”

"Oops......"

"It's all your fault for laughing at Hongchen! You're too loud! ”

"I can blame this for that...... It's all my fault, so what now? ”

"Of course it'......"

Rumble!

The magic that fell from the cliff exploded in their ears, kicking up a large cloud of snow, and the white fireworks in full bloom gradually bloomed to the edge of the Wind Flower Plain as several people ran towards the mountain path in unison. As if sensing the intentions of these adventurers, the two magicians standing at the top of the cliff shouted even more fiercely, calling for more reinforcements and condescending more magical attacks.

"I remember there should be a tunnel ahead......"

"Are you sure you want to hide in the tunnel? They bombed one by one...... Are we not going to suffocate in it? ”

"Then what should I do, I can't retreat, right?"

"Nonsense! It's all here, it's a big deal to fight with them...... Hey? ”

In the still unending magic bombardment and falling rocks on the top of the mountain, Duan Qing, who ran into the mountain road, suddenly stopped his words, and his eyes, which had been paying attention to his surroundings, also fell to the cliff on the other side of the mountain road with his discovery-in the snow-white of the distant background and the nearby mountain road were connected, a head mixed in it poked out slightly, and the familiar face stayed on their bodies for a few moments, and then left a low prompt.

"Follow me."
