Buzz –

The humming sound that is characteristic of loading the system continued to sound in her ears, and a player in a tent in the northwest of the free world continent slowly opened her eyes, feeling a hint of warmth in the cold, and then quietly blinked her eyelashes and sat up from the warm fur covers. The faint sound of laughter and slapstick also appeared on the outside of the tent, mixed with the screams of sword energy and magic when it pierced the air, and the player who sat there stared at the mouth of the tent for a long time, and finally opened the curtain of the tent door in front of him in the flickering light of the yellow magic light.

"Wow, big sister, you're awake."

The grassland with a faint trace of snow appeared in front of him, and the voices gathered around the campfire outside the tent stopped for a moment: "Oh no, it's the eldest sister, you're online?" ”

“…… Took care of a few other things a bit. ”

Nodding slightly in response, the woman who pulled up the hood behind her slightly covered her current look: "How is the situation?" ”

"Brother Leng has come back, and he was still bragging to us about what he experienced just now." The player then stepped forward and pointed to the campfire in front of him, "He said he saw a large area of ancient ruins, and countless ancient machines guarding it...... How is this possible? That kind of thing is only possible to see in the city in the sky, in such a remote place...... Ah! ”

"Shut up!" A sword qi flying from the right side of the campfire flew coldly over the head of the player who had just spoken, accompanied by the cold face of a swordsman player sitting on the other side of the campfire: "Did I say that?" I've never said that...... How? Not convinced? Don't be convinced? ”

The sound of the rest of the players laughing then spread farther and farther along with the sight of the two players pulling to the side, and finally formed a series of metal sparks from the exchange of swords in the wilderness not far from the camp, and the eldest sister who shook her head then ignored the impromptu duel between the two men, and turned back to the other side of the campfire: "That is...... Still no more news? ”

"Nope."

The answer was uttered in a low voice, and an old man dressed as a magician sitting next to the campfire then raised his cloudy eyes: "With all due respect, Miss...... It's not a good way to find it this way. ”

“…… But that's the only way I can do it. ”

In the scene of a few strands of blue hair gradually flowing down from the hood, the woman who buried her head deep in her shoulders sighed deeply: "Uncle Wu, who knows my character, as long as there is still a little hope...... There's no way I'm going to give up. ”

“…… According to the results released by the alliance officials some time ago, the wanted criminal they have been looking for no longer exists. The old man who didn't show a relieved smile still maintained his low voice: "The alliance officials have also confirmed the evidence of his guilt, even if he is really found, it will only increase our burden......

"How can we still believe their nonsense now."

The blazing bonfire flame shook for a moment as the woman suddenly raised her hand to interrupt the movement, and then returned to normal as she calmed down again: "The entire alliance is not the previous alliance for a long time, they must also be acting according to the instructions of the Duan family, including the tide of public opinion during that time...... Hmph, if you want to say that there is no one behind the push and command, no one will believe it! ”

"It's actually very simple to see the clues in the middle, you just need to find out who is the last vested interest." The old man's voice replied indifferently: "For example, the Duan family, who is already standing in front of the stage, and the Chu family, who have failed to subvert ......"

"Chu Yunhe...... Hum. ”

Shaking her head and sneering at the name, the woman's voice became gloomy: "There must be some secret agreement between him and Duan Qingnian, otherwise it would be impossible to settle that incident so quickly, and Fei Zixiang's guy ......"

"Fei Zixiang was probably regarded as an outcast." The old man continued the other man's words and said, "It is no longer possible to confirm the whereabouts of that person, and the people we sent out have not sent any news back......"

"I guess there's a better piece to use for the envoy." Speaking of this, his voice paused slightly: "Xu Liangyu...... Liangchen Meiyu ...... Hmph, judging from this series of events, that guy's ability seems to be not small. ”

"So what, not a loser who can't hold his head up in front of everyone." The woman, who was still bowing her head, let out a cold snort: "When I'm in the mood, I'll go to that guy to settle accounts." ”

"Now that he has the dual protection of the Chu family and the Duan family, it may be a trouble to want to cook." The old man surnamed Wu looked at his magic wand for a while: "If you really want to let out a bad breath, you can probably only start from the game, but ......"

"It's okay, I have my own way."

After sitting in silence for a while, the woman finally let out a voice like a murmur of a resentful soul under the Nine Shadows: "Restart recruiting the members of Kruhid......"

"That's the first step I'm going to take."

A loud applause then appeared in the middle of the group still cheering for the two duelists in the distance, accompanied by the woman's footsteps that once again began to march into the distance, and the back of the campfire began to grow farther and farther away with the sound of her greeting, and finally slowly set off with the group of players who ventured in the wilderness. The weather on March 26, 796 in the new calendar, also became warmer over time, but it did not bring any spring feeling to the wilderness in the northwest of the empire, and the woman who had been leading the group in front of the country then stepped through the last bits of snow left on the land and gradually stepped into a small village on the edge of the wilderness.

"A glass of ice blue Bundy, thank you."

Having arranged a large number of players around her to all corners of the village, the woman pushed open the door of the tavern closest to her, and then sat lightly on a seat in front of the bar under the gaze of countless players and villagers: "Add ice." ”

"Adventurers?" After staring at each other for a while, the owner of the tavern opened his sleepy eyes: "There are not many people who come to Crook Village at this time...... From the Old Crook Wilderness? ”

"Old Crook Heath?"

"Looks like he's an alien adventurer."

Turning back to pick up a flask filled with ice-blue liquid on the shelf, the tavern keeper let out a few listless sighs: "It used to be a good piece of land, but unfortunately it was destroyed in the war between the Empire and the Duchy, and the remaining villagers later fled to this place to re-establish this beautiful manor...... What kind of eyes do you have? Don't you think it's beautiful? Although there are no large and unsightly mage towers and colorful brick walls, there are many mud walls and earthen gun fences that are characteristic of our Koruk people......"

“…… That was not what I meant. ”

The hand holding the wine glass rotated gracefully twice, and the woman used the aristocratic temperament that gradually exuded to block back the tavernkeeper's noise: "I just wanted to ask...... Has this place ever been war-torn? ”

"Of course, this is not the first time that there has been a war between the Empire and the Duchy." The tavern owner immediately cocked his beard: "Counting the battle of Zalaha City not long ago, they have already fought three times last year, right?" Every time the empire wins, every time it is the principalities who sell their land to them! We Crooks were betrayed by the principalities! They sold us twenty-three years ago! I heard that the two countries are going to start peace talks again? It's just nonsense......"

“…… Thank you. ”

took out five gold coins and placed them on the counter in front of her, and the silent woman then ignored the tavernkeeper's still chattering and talking, but the golden gold coins then attracted the attention of the other people who were still staying here, and the figure of several players who quietly approached him took the initiative to talk: "This ...... Miss Whispering, do you need a task? ”

"Mission?"

Slightly covering the ID on her head, the woman who was called the whisperer raised her eyebrows and asked, "You are still responsible for distributing tasks?" Is there still an Adventurers' Guild in this place? ”

"The Imperials' mission system can be found in every corner of the free continent, but ...... This place really doesn't. Another player leaning to the right of the bar replied, "We...... Well, we're just looking around for valuable quests near the village and then finding someone else to share it with. ”

And then ...... Find a few thugs to finish and divide the spoils equally? Yu Liuyu sighed helplessly: "Please, I'm not here to travel......"

"With this young lady's generosity, your little task is naturally not worth it."

Forcefully squeezed away the player on the left, and another burly-looking man then came to the woman's side with a smile on his face: "Top players from big cities naturally need big tasks to attract their attention, like the few wolf killing tasks in your hands, I can't even look down on ......"

"What do you say? Then you can see the task of killing elemental creatures? ”

"Do you think it's all about killing? You don't know the difficulty of elemental creatures, but the elemental cores they drop alone are enough for us to make a lot of money! ”

"What's the international joke, just those air elements smaller than stones? The last time you didn't hit an elemental core until the group was wiped out, the news has already spread, do you think we're all in the dark? ”

"%$@#的! How dare you expose the old bottom of our strong wind adventure group? Don't want to mess up, do you? Brethren, give them a little color! ”

"Just do it, who is afraid of whom? Members of the Big Brother Adventure Group, give it to me! ”

"Deceive the world and steal your name!"

"Spiral Ascension Leg!"

The sound of crackling fists and feet then appeared in front of the tavern bar with the sound of pushing and shoving, and spread towards the tavern door with the sight of two teams of players gradually colliding with each other, reaching out to block several stray bullet attacks at random, and then ignoring the tavernkeeper's angry yelling, and moved his glass to the other side of the paper bar. The sound of the blade slicing through the air accompanied by a vague sword aura gradually occupied her hearing, but the seemingly violent attack showed no sign of destroying the tavern's tables, chairs and wooden walls, and the rest of the players, who seemed to be accustomed to this kind of paper tiger-like battle, then retracted their thoughts and gathered in front of the woman with the best posture and temperament; "Then, young lady, what do you think of my mission? Seven sand pirate heads, plus a token of the clue that killed the leader of the sand bandits...... This is a form of mission that has been rated as Grade A by the Adventurer's Association! The rewards must be amazing too! ”

"This young lady, our team has a mission to find the missing boy in the Old Crook Wasteland, although it seems difficult, we have enough clues......"

"This young lady, come and join us! Our team is here to complete the Wizard's Trial, and there are three Level 4 players in the team...... No, a fifth-level magician! ”

"Have you heard of the Magic Empire, Miss? The kingdom is full of mysteries and terrible enemies, and all the forces of the continent have put a lot of money on their wanted lists, and we—we happen to have a coordinate where they are hiding in the depths of the wasteland......"

“…… You're noisy. ”

The cold eyes appeared in front of everyone with the long hair exposed between the temples of the woman who raised her head again, and the noisy voice surrounding them around the table suddenly choked, and she took a sip of ice blue wine, then closed her eyes, and slowly retracted the inexplicable killing intent emanating from her body: "I already have my own team, and I don't have the slightest interest in the task you mentioned...... Don't you have a more appealing task? Or enough moving intelligence? ”

"Yes, yes, of course." One of the smaller thieves among the several suppressed players hurriedly jumped out of the crowd: "I know of a mission that I took from the ruins of Nalufak, where a powerful adventurer is studying the secrets from the abyss, and is currently short of manpower......"

"Come on, little spinning top, we have quietly explored your mission a long time ago, let alone some great adventurer, and we haven't even found the door to that ruin...... Belch. ”

"You say...... A powerful adventurer? ”

Reaching out to stop a certain player in the group of people who wanted to make trouble again, the whisper gradually condensed his eyes: "He ...... now"

"Where?"
