"What's new?"

"No, but ...... There is no movement, in fact, it is the biggest movement. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Well, you have a point."

On the trade road south of Windflower, another convoy from Greenstone Village appeared, and after a few days of traveling, they were already very close to Windflower. But if there had been no hindrance, they should have returned here sooner.

"Then again, why are there such things as bandits in such remote places, and can they grab anything rich and valuable?"

"Maybe that's why they're so weak." The person who answered him was holding a book in his hand, but looking at his appearance, it seemed that his attention was not on the book in his hand: "The goods that will be killed with just two tricks......"

"Don't look at Brother Meng, you can't understand it!" The gruff voice from before said, "I've always thought that studying everything in this world is a self-inflicted effort. If you can understand what you are still doing here, go ahead and become a great magician! ”

"So why do you think I can't read ......?"

"Of course you can't understand it, these are all theories designed in the game, do you understand the design? It's just like the empty world in the novel, it's something imaginary. The rough voice gradually rose up, and then calmed down again: "Instead of focusing on these nothingness, it is better to think more about the problems in front of us." ”

"Haven't all those things been discussed before?" The man before put down the book helplessly, and looked at the sturdy red figure opposite: "I have also told you the corresponding means, as long as you do it, there will be no problems......"

"But I always think something is going to be wrong, just like when we went to Greenstone Village before, we didn't meet those bandits......

"Well, you have a point." "I'll take that into account," the man said, "but as things stand, these people ......," he said, waving to the back of the convoy, as if to signal something: "I don't think I'm going to poke out any baskets." ”

"Also, I don't really want to study the laws of magic in this world, but ...... Kill time. ”

He picked up the book again, but didn't open it.

The man on the other side didn't speak, because he also felt the anomaly - their speed was slowing down.

Gradually, the convoy came to a halt. The two men invariably took out their weapons and prepared for battle, but after a while, nothing happened.

The driver in front did not warn them, and the imaginary battle announcement did not come. The two of them looked at each other in a state of vigilance, and after a while, the stout man in the red robe whispered: "This is so close to Fenghua Town, those bandits will still appear......"

"Mr. Floating Dreams, are you there?"

Suddenly there was a call outside the carriage, and the two people looked at each other, not knowing what was happening, but the next moment, the warm voice belonging to the man in black replied, "I am, may I ask...... What happened? ”

"Captain Paz told me to come and tell you." The person outside the car seemed to be a member of the convoy's escort team, and now he came to deliver the message: "There is a person in front of you who blocked the way, saying that it is ...... Looking for you. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, the man walked out of the carriage, first covered his eyes with his hands, as if he was not used to the bright morning sun, and then looked at the guard of the convoy again: "Someone looking for me?" This place? What's his name? ”

He didn't say his name, but he said...... Not long ago, there was an account, and he came to settle it. ”

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

"Straighten your backs, boys, you are the people of Fenghua Town, and you represent the power of Fenghua Town! Neither the bandits nor the Northern Empire are your opponents! Sharp weapons and heavy armor are not your most reliable reliance, your greatest reliance is the body you are exercising now! ”

This is a square at the foot of Fenghua Town, where many people are running and jumping, practicing swinging, and some are shirtless, fighting each other with hand-to-hand. A bald man stood on the steps at the edge of the square, shouting words to the people in the square from time to time, although the voice was not enough to spread throughout the square, but looking at the man's movements and momentum, it seemed as if he wanted to shout these words to the whole Fenghua Town.

Farther afield, passers-by passed by from time to time, some of whom seemed to have become accustomed to the scene and left after a few glances, while others were attracted by the imposing group training scene and stopped to watch, including some players dressed up and pointing at the people in the field.

"Those people over there seem to be wearing the uniforms of the Mage Council, are they from the Mage Council?"

"The Mage Council will also participate in this kind of training?"

"yes, and they've been here for days, although I don't know if they're the same people these days, it's too far away to see ......"

"What about those over there, their equipment is very good, look at those armor...... Tut-tut, just give me a set. ”

"They're the guards of the City Guard."

"It turned out to be a guard, no wonder it's so mighty, we can't beat ......"

"A few days ago, there was a guild of people who made trouble on Huawu Street, and then they were beaten out by these people, and after such a long time, there are still people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, thinking that those NPCs are easy to bully......"

"But it's not a problem to go on like this, do we players have to keep bowing our heads in front of these NPCs......"

"Sooner or later, you will be able to fight, and when everyone is at a higher level, the equipment will be better......"

"But it doesn't matter, maintain order, otherwise if we are bullied, where will we be reasonable...... And I haven't heard of the aborigines of the free world bullying people, most of them are players who can't think about it themselves and want to mess with others...... If you want me to say, they all deserve it. ”

The topic gets farther and farther away, from Tiannan to Haibei - the small talk between players always encompasses everything they have discovered and heard, from the training scene in front of them to the war between the empire and the principality. However, sharp-eyed people can still find different places from today's lively scene.

"Hey, look over there...... Are those the players? ”

"Huh? It really seems to be ......."

"Players can also participate in this spring training?"

"So powerful? How did they get in? ”

"I'm going to go in training too! Isn't there any good......"

"Go and ask who they are and how they got in......"

"Go and inform the president......"

Duan Qing and the others, who were gradually discovered by the bright-eyed crowd, had not noticed the commotion that was about to be caused by them at this time, and they sat in a corner of the square, chatting with some people scatteredly. Duan Qing and Mengzhu were sitting together, laughing at the shirtless young man, who was energetically showing off his muscles to some of Kidd's men.

"Whew! Look, my move is called Sweeping a Thousand Armies! With all your might, you can knock anyone in your way......"

Xiao Hongchen brandished his big axe, and then slammed it to the ground, boasting to the person in front of him that the free world system did not recognize at all, but the name of the move that had been rotten in the real world. However, the young members of the escort standing in front of him were frightened and screamed by the tigerish axe just now, and they were frightened by the success at first glance.

"These members of Kidd seem to be very young......"

"I heard it's a new recruit."

"Well, where are they now...... Is it already so miserable? ”

A younger and younger escort may be able to bring some youthful energy to the place, but for these people who often hang their lives and deaths above their heads, such a trend ...... But it says a lot more.

More of the town's young blood is heading to battle, or to death—and the principalities that are at war with the Empire may be doing the same in all corners of their own country.

"Forget it, they might ...... You don't have to risk your own life. Duan Qing sighed, then looked in the direction of the smiling uncle on the other side.

As a shield bearer, the Smiling Butcher seems to be more popular with veterans, because the task of the escort team is the work of the guard, so for those veterans who have been there for a while and have some battlefield experience, the shield is the best weapon when guarding.

"Don't let the shield stick too close to yourself, so you can't exert your strength, you know that blindly blocking the opponent's attack with the shield is a very stupid behavior, and the attack may not only come from your front, but may also go to your side, or even the back, or your lower plate, so it is important to keep your arm flexible......"

The usually gentle uncle was explaining his experience in front of a group of soldiers at this time, picking up his shield from time to time and gesturing to everyone, with a focused look that did not have the usual smile at all.

"Uncle looks ...... It's so handsome......"

"So you little girls ......" Duan Qing drooped his eyelids: "You just like these vicissitudes of men, don't you?" ”

"He's really handsome, what's wrong?" The little girl stood there cross-legged, looking very happy: "And such a powerful uncle is now a member of our adventure group, shouldn't you be proud?" ”

"Well, I have to remind you ......" Duan Qing shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Uncle Smiling is a real uncle. ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" The tone of the other party's words made the girl a little dissatisfied: "Everyone can see ......"

"I mean, he's a very old uncle, at least ...... You're in your forties......"

"Huh? Can you see this? Mengzhu exclaimed: "I'm still playing games in my forties, is it really fake?" ”

"I've seen people in their fifties who are still professional." Duan Qing pouted: "What a fuss." Qi Jiang, who is now playing for the Sword of Justice, is probably forty-six years old, isn't he also fighting very well......"

The two chatted casually, while waiting for Kidd's notice - of course they weren't here to watch the show for nothing, and when everyone was almost warmed up, they would start one-on-one training, and maybe even team battles. And that's what they really meant when they were invited here.

To put it simply, it is to be a sparring partner.

At a certain moment, the movement on the field became less - everyone had been training for a while, and now they were about to rest for a while. The bald captain was also idle, so he began to look around, and by the way, he exchanged words of gratitude with a few other forces who had been invited to come over as sparring partners, and talked about the desire to work together in the future. When he walked to Duan Qing's side, the bald Kidd's serious face relaxed.

"You're finally here, several...... Hmm, a member of the Adventurers' Guild. ”

"Well, we're extremely understaffed, you should know that......"

"Of course, so I thought no one was coming, hahaha...... But then again, we met, isn't it fate? ”

The bald man laughed and talked to Duan Qing, changing his previous seriousness, and his familiar appearance once again attracted the attention of the people around him, especially those players who were already secretly observing, and even recorded this.

"Seeing that you are so miserable, of course we have to come over and show our support." Duan Qing replied: "But after I came, I found that you don't lack people at all, it seems that you won't need it next time." ”

"That's not going to work." Kidd laughed and said, "Spring training is a long-standing tradition in Fenghua Town, and every time we engage in this kind of thing, we must invite others over, after all, ...... Actual combat is the most practical experience, and it makes sense to always run around at both ends. ”

"You ...... And the Mage Guild, the people of the warrior's house. He pointed ahead, where several groups of people were sitting around in distinct circles: "You are all experienced in battles, and often go in and out of various dangerous areas, with your actual combat experience, you just need to share it with those young men under my command casually, and they will ...... in the future."

"There will be fewer deaths." He turned around, looked at Duan Qing and said.

"Hmph, you're really a responsible boss." Duan Qing sighed.

"The scenery of Fenghua Town is beautiful and the people here love it. Looking at the eyes of those outsiders, they must also have a good impression of this place. Kidd turned his body around again, and Duan Qing noticed that he was facing the low mountain in Fenghua Town: "So the people here want to protect this place, even if it's for ...... Javier's legacy, they will also do their best. ”

"Javier...... Who is it? ”

"You don't know? Oh yes, you're an outsider too......" Kidd sighed, then pointed to the top of the mountain, "You go there and see, you'll probably know." ”

"There's a statue of him there." Kidd said.

The sound of running came from behind, and the two looked back to see a member in the uniform of the escort running from behind. Looking at his sweaty appearance, it was obvious that he had also been running for a long time. But this made Duan Qing even more confused, because before, he didn't seem to have seen this person in Kidd's team.

"Captain Kidd." Sure enough, that person's next report answered Duan Qing's doubts.

"Captain Paz asked me to come...... Tell you. He took two breaths, and finally relieved the fatigue of the strenuous exercise for a while: "They are in some trouble, and they want you to bring someone over...... Glance. ”
