"You...... Are you also a ......?"

"It doesn't really matter who I am, what matters is whether I have your trust, you see...... Since the beginning of Liberty City, I have given enough sincerity. ”

"But you know about Tania......"

"Tania thing...... Many people on the continent know it, but they know it in a way that ...... It must have been unexpected for you. ”

“……”

"There are many forces in this world that you would not expect, the children of destiny, and although many people do not want to believe it, they are real. After so many years in the free continent, there are often many secrets that are unknown and unbelievable, and to reveal these secrets, it takes not only the strength to rival the world, but also the determination to accept everything...... and courage. ”

"Now you ...... It is enough to 'believe'. ”

In the center of the ruins, which gradually regained calm, the conversation between the two opposite figures unfolded sentence by sentence, but the words of one of the silent men were far less than the words of the black-clothed gentleman opposite: "Hmm...... Time is running out. ”

"If you're willing to put the effort into understanding these powers, your mind will definitely change when that time comes...... I think we will definitely become a better partner. ”

He stepped forward, held out his hand at the same time, and lifted another adventurer, who seemed powerless to resist, into the air. The strange and secluded dark power began to emerge from the hands of the gentleman in black, and gradually condensed into a black ball, as if it could swallow the fluctuations of space, and the next moment, with the movement of Oxen's deep push, flew to Duan Qing's side, sucking him in with the surrounding air.

"Goodbye, child of destiny." The hazy echo was filled with Oxen's last voice: "Hope next time...... Fate will still favor you. ”

The terrifying fluctuations gradually dissipated with the retraction of this power, returning the long-lost calm to the uninhabited ruins, and the gentleman in black who had withdrawn his hands slowly stood up straight, but the whispers of several other people from far and near gradually came from far and near: "...... Your Excellency, Lord Oxon......"

"Lord Oxon, what's going on here?" In the reinforcement team composed of more than a dozen players, a player who looked like a captain hurriedly walked up: "How did you become like this......"

"You'd better get out of here."

Different from the ease and politeness just now, the gentleman in black lowered his head and said a warning word: "Before your own life is still in this world." ”

“…… But, yes, adults. The black-clothed player looked around the environment for a moment, and finally asked a little unwillingly: "It seems that there is a battle here, and now you are the only one left, if you ......"

"If there's a danger, I can't handle it alone......"

Saying this for the other party in an indifferent tone, Oxen sighed and shook his head: "I know your good intentions and accept your contributions, but whether it is our cause or our enemies, they all have their own corresponding ranks. ”

"Rank." He tilted his head sideways and looked at the face of the black-clothed captain: "Do you understand? ”

"Uh...... Aha. The black-clad captain replied with a haha: "I see, I see, the things here are all secrets of the organization, and we humble adventurers shouldn't care about it......"

"Nope." Oxen sighed, then turned back: "You don't understand. ”

"I'm not talking about bullshit secrets, I'm talking about enemies."

Looking at the figure of a girl with a huge package gradually appearing in the distance of the giant crater, he raised his hands again, and this time, two strange black energy were surrounding his arm: "Since you are not willing to listen to my advice......"

"Then wait for death."

With a flick of his hands, he threw the two black balls that were entwined with each other into the distance, and then disappeared into their original positions before the opposing sword qi was about to blast into his face. The black-clothed player on the side showed a helpless wry smile, and his body was immediately swept into pieces by the sky-high sword qi, and the rest of the team members in the rear pulled out their weapons together, but the voice of a certain swordsman crossed the battlefield of the two demon-level NPCs and appeared in their ears: "You ......"

"You look familiar." Standing on the top of one of the domes, he stroked his sword and looked at the black-clothed players at his feet, "Are you also from the Alliance?" ”

“…… It's Jian Beidong! ”

"Why is he here?"

"Kill him!"

"Take your head and sacrifice the flag today!"

"It seems that the previous hardships ...... You haven't eaten enough. ”

With these words faintly in his mouth, the cloaked swordsman finally showed a smile, and then rushed straight into the chaotic crowd with a posture of one person and one sword: "No matter what you are doing......

"As long as you fail, my mood will be much better."

The misty sword shadow gradually rose around the central ruins with his laughter, and then gradually transformed into a beautiful sword flower as the rest of the players screamed one after another.

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

"Poof-ha, ha, ha......"

In the south of Liberty City, on the seashore near the Starwind Plains, a figure that fell into the sea from a high altitude was silent in the water for a long time, and then came out when the splash was about to disappear: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts me...... Ouch yo yo. ”

"...... here?"

He glanced at the movement around him, and then opened the adventurer's manual that came with the system: "Coastal Blue Zone? The City of Freedom, the South Seas? Did I fly over the entire Starwind Plains? ”

After trying to identify the direction, Duan Qing finally retracted his astonished feelings, and then swam in the direction of the coast while packing his bags. The whole body is still filled with some unbearable severe pain, and there is not much life left due to a series of changes, but the instinct from the body and the long-term game experience still made him quickly accept this incomprehensible ending in the process of survival - after the invisible force imprisoned him, the unknown force from Oxen smashed Duan Qing's body into some strange space, and he flew in the darkness for a long time without any ability to resist, Then it somehow fell out inexplicably at some point in time. The result of falling into the sea may be because of his own luck, or it may be because of the mercy of his subordinates after the other party's deliberate calculation, but in any case, he has no chance to ask the other party more doubts and know the possibility of the next big battle.

All that was left for him was the moments that had already happened, and countless informative messages.

"Now you ...... It is enough to 'believe'. ”

Other words...... There are still many difficult truths in this world to accept, right?

Swimming to the shore with difficulty, Duan Qing dragged himself out of the water, and then brushed his eyebrows while shaking the drops from his hair—he had only heard of the title of the Child of Destiny from a handful of NPCs, all of whom were closely related to the Weaver of Destiny, and all of them noticed some kind of anomaly that was "unique" to them without warning. Although he didn't know where the cause of this anomaly came from, he did encounter several inexplicable things since he started playing the free world, but even he couldn't determine whether the visions he saw in a moment were real, the things about Tania, the things about the Falling Star Mountain, and the things about the Emerald Tower...... These things that I have experienced are rarely mentioned to others, let alone those old men who are like gods, and those who do not seem to be their own people. The only one who had ever explained to him what was going on was the one Gustan he had met since he came out of Greenstone Village, but the guy who seemed to have been saving his life was also very vague about his explanation.

But now...... A character who can't be beaten with eight poles, but he tells this secret, what does it mean?

"It can't really be as he said, it's to gain my trust......"

After checking his physical condition and belongings slightly, Duan Qing simply sat on the shallows by the sea, looking at the sunset that was about to fall into the sky, and while holding his cheeks and thinking: "According to Gustin, the guy whose fate was cut off by me should have disappeared into the world, although I don't understand what the principle is, but the person who has lost his destiny...... It deserves to be forgotten by everyone. You're a guy who came out of nowhere, are you a double spy with two feet on both sides? Know everything not only about the Restoration, but also everything about the Weaver of Destiny? ”

"No, no, the only thing that is opposed to the Restorationists is the Mage Council, and there is no evidence that the Weavers of Destiny are also against them, and according to the temperament of those guys, if the resurgence of the Restorationists is the trend of the times, they may still be able to help." Duan Qing's eyebrows raised deeply: "In other words, it is very likely that Oxen is a Weaver of Destiny, which can not only explain the fact that he knew about Tania's final ending, but also why he spent 1 million to help me and finally let me go in this way...... So the question is, what is the final purpose of this guy who is in the name of a restorationist? Do you just want to use me as a tool to get closer to the castle lord, or do you fall in love with the identity of the child of destiny that even I don't understand? What is that Shanaido, her skills and realm seem to be very similar to Oxen's, and Garo, one of the twelve thrones...... Appearing at the auction that day, I'm afraid it wasn't as simple as joining in the fun, right? ”

"The secret of the Bridge of Miracles, the treasure of the pirates, the identity of the lord of the city...... What is he mentioning these things for? The mission of meeting the lord of the castle...... Is it really as difficult as the legend says? Did the guys from the Council of Seven try to facilitate my trip, anticipating the chemistry I might bring? What did the last few words of the auction house president mean before he slapped me away? Duan Qing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "The so-called unexpected power...... Does it refer to the ability to see chains? Christo, that old thief...... If there is really any world in this world, labor and management will jump up and scold their mothers. ”

As if he had found himself in the center of some huge whirlpool, Duan Qing stood up with a tired face, and then turned his finished expression towards the path in the distance of the shallows. As the footsteps approached, the figure of a team of players gradually appeared there, they looked around the beach, and finally found Duan Qing's figure standing alone in place: "Huh? How can there be someone there? ”

"A player?"

"Why is he the only one? It's not going to be a new ambush trick......"

"You XX play too much, isn't it, how can there be so many routines! Even if there is really a routine, the five of us can still be afraid of him alone? ”

In the team of players in the field of vision, the guy who played the captain reached out and slapped the back of the head of one of the team members, and then slowly walked in front of Duan Qing with the footsteps of the others: "Hello, may I ask ......?"

"Ah, hello." Duan Qing was the first to reply with a smile: "Our team has been wiped out, and now I am the only one left, so ...... Will you take me with you when you go back? ”

"Brother isn't a local, is he?" The warrior player named Wuming watched Duan Qing's reaction for a while: "How could it be wiped out in such a place?" ”

"Well...... They had to go to the bottom of the sea to explore, and they all drowned. Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and at the same time showed the traces of water on his body that had not dried up: "If I can go back alive, I must slap all the inheritances that they didn't have time to take away on their faces." ”

"Drowned......"

Looking into the distance towards the calm sea for a while, Wu Ming nodded thoughtfully: "The Endless Sea is indeed not as safe as it seems, and the fatigue of diving is much stronger than swimming, but since my brother is not a local, it is best to inquire about these things in advance, and I don't know ......why the province is dead."

"Of course, we will, especially after this ordeal......"

"Freedom City is not another place, not only to consider the crisis of people's hearts, but also to pay attention to the dangers of these nearby areas, no matter how you say this, this is also a place where players can only come after level 40, don't think that it will become easy to survive after opening a new version...... Oh yes, you said you want us to lead the way? Sorry, our mission isn't done yet......"

"It's okay, it's okay, you're going back sooner or later, right? All you have to do is take me with you. ”

"But our team is full......"

"It's okay, I'll follow you, don't worry about my safety, I'm also a strong player......"

At sunset, Duan Qing, who had once again incarnated as an ordinary player, blended into another team of players from the Starwind Plain, and then returned to the ordinary game world in the sound of laughter and laughter.
