"Since you left, we've had a lot of new assignments on the Tania side, many of which are related to our station, and some of which are related to the reconstruction of Tania......"

“…… With Pamir's relationship with the other parliamentarians, you shouldn't have encountered any difficulties, right? ”

"It's not without difficulties, most of them are players from other guilds, some of them are not used to the fame of our small guild, and some of them covet the villa in our hands......"

In the white wind and snow, a man and a woman sitting at the end of the roof of the shed talked to each other casually, as if the snowflakes that kept drifting in front of them did not bring them the slightest chill. The joy and excitement at the beginning had long since disappeared at this time, and the conversation between Duan Qing and Mengzhu became more and more muffled, until he talked about the hardships of the Fool Adventure Group during this time, and the nominal leader of the Adventure Group finally hugged his knees: "I...... We fought with them for a while, but in the end, we finally compromised with all the tricks we had, and we used the money you made from the furnace products you put on the counter to sell at the counter in the first place......"

"Why, those nobles and commoners still don't buy it?"

"It's not that they don't buy it, Cornelly even still has a supply contract with us."

The golden ponytail was stained with some white snowflakes, and then it was shaken off by the little girl's shaking and shaking movements: "But...... That's all there is to it, because they have also discovered the usefulness of that furnace, and now the major forces in Tania are almost all fighting openly and secretly for the right to use that furnace......"

“…… Don't they have a word about the origin and source of the furnace's energy? ”

“…… I don't know. ”

Mengzhu, who looked at Duan Qing, shook his head again, and his eyes gradually fell to the snowy scene in the distance: "The only thing I know is...... Our part of the channel has been secured under the maintenance of Queen Maggie, and some of the credit of President Hank, who has done their best to protect our share from the mouths of other forces. ”

"No one has ever thought about whether this resource can be used forever...... The principality is still the same principality. Duan Qing let out a long sigh: "Anyway, with the style of that production team, most of this kind of thing that can obtain unlimited resources can't be maintained for a long time......"

"Based on the information you mentioned later, we will also try to ask Forts to reveal the secrets of Tania." The little girl holding her head replied in a low voice, "What is the result...... You should be able to guess it too. ”

"All I can say is...... That time the shutdown was really just right. Duan Qing put on a helpless expression: "Looking back now, maybe from that time...... The system is already targeting me. ”

"I've heard that what happened to you in Liberty City is also exciting." Mengzhu, whose chin rested on his knees, tilted his head slightly: "In the last big battle, the limelight even overshadowed the city of Zaraha, which was at the center of the war between the two countries......"

"As long as the Restorationists are still in this place, it will be difficult to fight there in the future." Duan Qing waved his hand indifferently: "In order to deal with the common enemy, the two countries even formed a joint army, didn't you see the rivers and lakes that got the news, and now they have all rushed over...... That's right. ”

"You haven't told me why you're here." Through the snowflakes that kept skimming the air, he looked at Mengzhu's petite face: "With what I know about you...... You don't like to fight much, do you? ”

“…… It's not about making money yet! ”

The expression was silent for a while, and the little girl suddenly straightened up as if she had been stimulated by something: "How can you buy good equipment without making money, and how can you feed those guild members?" The cost of maintaining a guild...... Don't you know? In order to save enough gold for this little adventure party, this girl can't wait to stay in the game 24 hours a day, and the money we put into those so-called money-making channels is now more than we can earn! ”

"It's an investment, an investment." So Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hands: "According to your previous theory, isn't all this for the purpose of transferring more money in the future?" Why did you change your hexagram again now......"

"But we don't have any!"

Throwing the still golden ponytail to the back of his head, Mengzhu turned around and pointed at Duan Qing's face: "It's just that investment is a bottomless pit, it's okay if someone has to run, but it's time to employ people...... You're all gone! We are on the verge of breaking our legs for Tania's reconstruction, and even the salted fish kings, who don't fight much, are watching outside every day, and not only do they not give us a single child, but they actually recruit us adventurers to go to the front line to support! It's just ...... It's too much! ”

"Didn't you go anyway?" Duan Qingyu said with a smile: "I heard that the little girl of the Thousand Fingered Crane is still famous over there......"

"That's the name that Sister Xiaoqian already has, and you still need them?" The little girl twisted her nose disdainfully: "As for why you want to go...... If it weren't for that fat man who ran to our house so many times and made a big promise at the end, we wouldn't have gone in the future! ”

“…… Including the arrival of this time? ”

“……”

As if thinking of something else, Mengzhu, who was originally angry, suddenly became quiet, and her hands were twisted together and she stopped talking for a long time, and finally asked with a flickering expression: "That...... I have something to discuss with you. ”

“…… What is so formal? Duan Qing raised his eyebrows a little amusedly: "You actually have to meet in person in the game to say it?" ”

"I want to ...... I would like to sign up for the qualifiers in the near future. ”

In the wind and snow that still did not stop, Mengzhu, who stood up, turned to face Duan Qing, and then nodded his head vigorously as if he had made a decision: "What do you think...... What do you think? ”

“…… Yes? ”

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

Mengzhu's reason for wanting to participate in the qualifiers is very simple, that is, he just wants to make more money, although in Duan Qing's opinion, participating in the League Cup is not as simple as it says - if you want to win a good ranking in the competition, the money and effort behind it are far less than it seems, if you don't have a lot of resources and player support in your hands, even if you want to stand out from that audition-like competition, it is no different from a dream.

"What's more, that kind of competition is just to compete for the next seeded player and seeded team, and by the way, add a little point to your ranking in the League Cup, not to mention that you will compete with those club giants in the end, and there is not much to ...... in terms of prize money alone."

“……”

“…… Okay, okay, I can teach you some experience and skills about the competition, anyway, I have a lot of apprentices under my hands now, and in the end, you are not the only one...... I said, can the nominal debt be forgiven a little? You see I'm so nice and have such a good attitude......"

"Oh, I know, I know! Why is there so much nonsense...... Let's go! ”

The two figures who jumped from the shack then disappeared into the distance of the wind and snow, and with them many members of the rivers and lakes who were already ready to go, and the shadows of the enemy gradually approached the location of the abandoned farmhouse with their departure. Through the transmission of the wind and snow, a few people seemed to be able to hear the very familiar loud cheers of half a box of cigarettes coming from afar, but the team that had already learned of their arrival in advance had now evaded the location of the Wind Night Forest - after a period of thinking and consideration, the broken mountain in charge of leading the team finally made the decision to meet with Richard first, and then after learning about the battle situation in other regions, and then planning the next combat mission, which naturally also has many private considerations belonging to the rivers and lakes, But compared to the entire battle situation in the entire Xifeng County, Duan Qing, as the only guide in the team, was also very happy to see this team participating in this battle area around Fenghua Town.

Although what happened next was not as smooth as everyone imagined.

Confirm directions, stay vigilant, scout for enemies before and after, and clear out wandering monsters...... The unstoppable wind and snow and the white wilderness eventually became the team's worst enemies, bringing a series of troubles to them, not only causing great obstacles to the confirmation of landmarks, but also leaving many visible traces on the entire team's march. In order to get rid of the obvious footprints, the team had to leave a few water magicians in charge of the back of the temple, which once again slowed down the team's march and dragged what should have been a few hours into a day. As night falls and the distance approaches, the attacking monsters hidden in the winter become more and more numerous, which also makes the work of those responsible for handling the traces of battle and hauling the corpses of monsters even more onerous.

"How long will it take to get there, Mo Shang Qingshan?"

"Shouldn't it be far away? As shown on the map...... Beyond this mound, you and your little brothers should be able to see it. ”

"Are you sure there isn't anyone else around? How do I remember that this is a place where many Restorationists haunted......"

"It's all players who shout long live the Magic Empire all day long, and their strength is not strong at all, although it is difficult to ensure that they are not followed, and it is such a large team......"

It seemed that he had encountered good luck, the player enemies that Duan Qing had encountered when he first came here did not haunt the vicinity at this time, and the broken mountain with dozens of people and a large number of supplies was also able to enter the jungle smoothly, and finally met Richard on a tall tree branch. is still the image of carrying a hideous giant sword, and the sloppy uncle was very surprised that Duan Qing was able to bring back so many players, and he originally wanted to ask the question of where Duan Qing ran away, but in the end, he temporarily left it behind: "As soon as I came back, I brought so many people...... What do you think this is, a campsite for wild camping? ”

"They are the people of the rivers and lakes, a powerful adventurous group affiliated with the principality." Duan Qing pointed diagonally to the carcass of a huge wild boar that was carried on the shoulder by one of the Jianghu members behind him: "The 'small animals' along the way have been cleaned up by them, so let's take it as a welcome gift to come to this camp." ”

“…… Did the reinforcements sent from Karon Pass arrive so quickly? After looking at the front and back of the group, Richard jumped down from the high branches: "The previous flame legend is the same, it is said that he went to the principality to bring rescue troops and fled......"

"Believe me, none of us are going to run away." Duan Qing smiled slightly, and at the same time pushed Xiao Nina, who came out of his side, in front of him: "Otherwise...... I'm not going to get her back. ”

The still dilapidated camp then resounded with a sound of joy, and became lively with the arrival of a large number of players, and Richard, who looked very happy, also hugged Little Nina's body and played for a while, and then began the handover of the entire team with the representative of the rivers and lakes. As if thinking of the funny expressions of the people in the rivers and lakes when they were about to face a large number of chicken feather tasks, Duan Qing snickered and walked to the side, and then pulled the people of the Fool Adventure Group, who also quietly left the team, through the crowd gathered at the gate of the camp: "Long time no see, I forgot to praise you before...... Recently, his fame and strength seem to have risen a lot. ”

"It's all good taught by the instructor." Different from the previous openness and liveliness, the voice of the thousand-fingered crane walking in the center of the line has also become like a mosquito: "Also, there is ...... My staff is also very powerful, and many players want to pay a lot of money for it. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that this staff is already bound, maybe you'd already be tempted, right?" Duan Qing said jokingly, "The pillar of fire that soared into the sky before was also released by you using the special effects of this staff?" ”

"Well, the mentor told me...... The casting of many magic spells requires the gathering of elements as a condition, and the casting of the Red Lotus Pillar requires a large number of elemental susceptibility as an aid for ignition......"

Paragraph ...... Mr. Aoyama. ”

As the team advanced, the beautiful scene belonging to the Star Wind Spring gradually appeared in front of everyone, and the familiar voice from the secret whisper Ning Lan also suddenly sounded in Duan Qing's ears: "You are finally back." ”

“…… Oh, I forgot to inform you before. Duan Qing, who was talking to the Thousand Fingered Crane, was stunned for a moment, and then scratched his head slightly apologetically in the other party's smiling expression: "I thought I would be back soon, but I didn't expect so many things to happen later...... How have you been doing during this time? What about the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice? ”

"Ning Lan is fine."

Touching the head of Mengzhu who ran over and hugged him, Ning Lan smiled and shook her head, but between the curved eyes, a few inexplicable looks flashed: "As for Miss Xue...... She seems to have something going offline. ”

"Let Ning Lan specially inform you."
