970 apologies
"I found their names in the Adventurers' Guild's Adventurers' Registry."
The weeds cut by the blade of the sword continued to blow through the strong wind above the wilderness, reflecting the figures of the three people who were gradually gathered together more clearly, and the heavily armored warrior named Gedmayne then followed the footsteps of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and slowly walked in front of Duan Qing: "That guild called the Qingling Adventure Group is the two newly established guilds, right?" β
"Hmm...... I didn't expect you to be quite smart. β
Duan Qing, who was still waving all kinds of alchemy materials in his hand, and was concentrating on the alchemy platform in front of him, finally separated a little bit of his spirit at this time: "And it seems that your luck is not bad." β
"yes, hahahaha." Taking off his helmet, the heavily armored man smiled bitterly and revealed the face of his uncle who had experienced vicissitudes: "I didn't expect that what has passed will be able to get together in the end." β
"It's not just you, anyone who has participated in that battle the day before yesterday should be able to relate to it." Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was standing on the side, held on to the hilt of his sword and whispered, "The person who went specifically for the rock salon and finally claimed that he didn't need any reward...... In the end, there is probably only one benefit you want. β
"Should I congratulate you again?"
Scratching his head a little embarrassed, Gedmayne, who walked in front of Duan Qing, then turned his gaze back and forth in the air between the two of them: "You are the first adventure group in Tanzanian City that has been successfully established after its extinction in recent years. β
"If it weren't for the petty nature of this woman next to you, we wouldn't risk our lives to fight that dragon." Duan Qing replied without raising his head: "And...... There are not a few adventure groups and guilds in Tanzanian City, and the force of two people like us is nothing at all. β
"The player guilds in Tanzania City were established a long time ago, and most of them have now moved to other parts of the empire." Gedemine shook his head and said, "Being able to pass a trial in such a trial task with few development resources and easy passage is a great thing in itself. β
I said...... You deliberately came running with us, didn't you just come to make a fuss? Duan Qing's hand paused slightly: "If you have anything to say, please say it directly." β
"That...... Allow me to say sorry. β
It seemed that it had been brewing for a long time, and the heavily armored warrior stood in place and took a few deep breaths, and then bent his waist deeply in the vigilant eyes of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice beside him, who still hadn't let go: "In the canyon before, we did some things to be sorry for you, so since we are fortunate enough to be able to meet again this time, I want to express my apologies no matter what......"
"Is it just for the sake of robbing our boss before?"
The popping sound like a bubble being punctured then sounded in the air in front of Duan Qing, followed by the snort of a certain substance when it was burned, and the startled Gedmayne then hurriedly raised his head, but what caught his eye was Duan Qing's movements that were still staring intently at the alchemy platform in front of him: "Don't talk about that matter, anyway, we have reached a temporary agreement between the two sides, everyone takes what they need, there is nothing to argue." β
"But, but it's ......" so the expression on the heavily armored man's face became even more entangled: "But things like robbing the boss are always wrong on our side, although in the end we also suffered a sideways death, and even the experience has dropped by half ......"
"It doesn't matter, the real boss has already run away anyway." Duan Qing shook his head slightly: "We didn't see that eyeball monster in the end, and we don't know where it went, if you want to inquire about it, then you can leave now." β
"No, no, no, you're mistaken, I'm not...... Alas. β
Hurriedly waving his hand, Gedmayne then collapsed his shoulders as if relieved: "It's like this every time, what I want to say turns into a deliberate explanation, I didn't want to do it, but in the end it turned out to be this result......"
"What, do you still have to justify your boss-grabbing behavior?" Xue Linghuanbing on the side asked indifferently, "It's like we helped you finish beating that double-wanted criminal, but you didn't pay attention to it?" β
"Then, I also brought a lot of my subordinates with me at that time."
Raising his voice slightly, Gedmayne then lowered his head as if deflated: "As a leader of the wild group, if you want to make others obedient, you have to obey the public, I just rely on the voice that I have been used to shouting to direct them, and I can't force them to do what they don't want to do, and prevent them from doing what they want to do......"
"So you're one of the people who were dragged into that cave?"
Finally raised his head, Duan Qing, whose movements in his hands still hadn't stopped, glanced at the other party: "What an incompetent regiment leader." β
"yes, I know I'm bad, too." Gedmane smiled bitterly again: "That's probably why I haven't formed a fixed regiment or a decent guild. β
"Speaking of which, you haven't reported to your guild yet." Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side took two steps forward: "Which guild leader are you?" β
"I ...... There are no guilds. β
Hesitantly opening his mouth, Gedmayne finally gave his answer: "To be exact, I was abandoned by my guild, and I have been wild until now. β
"Abandoned?" Xue Lingphantasm raised her eyebrows: "What was your previous guild?" β
"I don't know if you've ever heard the name Sword of Justice."
With a stunned expression on his face, Gedman's eyes stared blankly at the clear sky above the wasteland: "Although it has probably fallen now, it can be considered a ...... before the deletion and retraining What I adore...... and proud ......"
The sight of the silent wind blowing through gradually brought the silence around him away from the place, and at the same time, the slightly choked words in the mouth of the heavily armored warrior gradually became clear, and he turned his back to the two people, and then waved his hand vigorously as if he hated something: "Forget it, it's all in the past." β
"Now that both of you have come this far, you must know this better than I do."
He turned his head, and his gaze fell on Xue Ling's phantom ice first: "Your Excellency the Dark Witch? β
"Don't tempt me with such words, I don't know what you're talking about."
An emotionless reaction swept over Xue Ling's face, and she then pointed behind her with the hilt of her sword, "If nothing else, you can go now." β
"Hey, can't you be nicer to a lonely old man?"
"At least you're still at full levelβyou've been abandoned long enough."
"The news on the Internet has been hanging for so long, you can't have been noticing, right? Besides, I have been holding back a momentum in my heart not to admit defeat, and I want to prove it to my past teammates......"
"It's only now that it's getting to this point?"
"yes."
Bowing his head deeply, Gedemayne simply sat down opposite Duan Qing, who was still alchemizing: "After such a long time, I know how strong the strength and will it takes to run a guild well, and the manpower, material resources and energy it requires are not something that ordinary people can think of just by thinking about it. β
"If it's the two of you, you'll be able to understand what I'm saying, right?" Speaking of this, he smiled rather bitterly: "In any case, I have become a pebble in the river, and my heart and temper have long been worn to the point that there is nothing left." β
"If you have such an understanding, you may really be able to make a comeback in the future." Duan Qing, who didn't raise his head, suddenly said something like this: "But...... That's not a reason for you to let the members of the group right now, and finally come over and ruin our good deeds. β
"That's right, so didn't I say it at the beginning?"
Under the gaze of Xue Ling, who was still vigilant behind him, he slowly took out two scales from his waist that exuded strange purple and cyan energy: "I'm here to apologize." β
"That's apology."
γDragon Scale (Epic)γ
γIngredientsγ
[The scales collected from the body of an unknown dragon are extremely hard but extremely flexible, and the purple-cyan light emits on the surface of the scales from time to time, which seems to indicate that it also has magical energy that is rare in the world. γ
"It's ......"
"This is some of the things I grabbed when I grabbed the boss before."
Turning his head to look at the snow spirit phantom ice that made a sound behind him, he pointed to the few dragon scales on the ground and replied with a smile: "The situation was a bit chaotic at that time, and I only had one person, so there was probably only so much that I could grab. β
"Anyway, I'm a full-level warrior, and it's not much use to ask for these materials that can forge weapons and armor, so ...... Not. Speaking of this, he lowered his gaze to the long white staff on Duan Qing's side: "Please take it, although it may not look as good as the loot you have now......
"Want to know the origin of this light and dragon teeth?" The corners of Duan Qing's mouth twitched slightly: "They were sent by an NPC who appeared there later." β
"No, that's not what I meant - forget it."
After another gesture of clarification, Gedmayne lowered his hands as if he had a slight understanding: "Maybe I should be more honest in the future?" β
"Perhaps, at least you're not easily misunderstood." Duan Qing threw a piece of magic gem in his arms into the magical brilliance of the alchemy platform: "I have made more friends, maybe it will also help calm your irritable character." β
"Thank you for your advice."
With his head down and pondering for a while, Gedmane slowly stood up with his heavy body covered in heavy armor: "The more delusions, the greater the pressure...... Maybe that's really the case. β
"Nothing else?"
"If anything, there's really one."
The figure that gradually pulled away under the surveillance of the snow spirit phantom ice stayed at the bottom of the mound for a moment, and then gradually lengthened as Gedmayne turned back again: "I see you coming out of the City Lord's Mansion - do you want to join the escort organized by His Royal Highness the Prince?" β
"That's right, and it's already selected." Duan Qing replied casually, "What's the problem?" β
"You've already been selected."
Turning his head again, Gedmane walked in the direction of the city outline of Tanzania: "That's a good task for the new party, but it's ......"
"The situation in Tanzanian City is not simple." His figure began to get farther and farther away: "Even if you don't consider the complex contradictions within the empire and the Violet Tower, just look at the number of players who have appeared around here recently......"
"It's easy to see what is about to happen."
ββ¦β¦ Hey. β
Shaking his head slightly, Duan Qing, who looked at the back gradually moving away, finally let out a low laugh: "This guy is still not honest enough." β
"He must have recognized the identities of you and me, right?" In a gesture of a hand knife, Xue Lingphantom Ice asked in a low voice, "Shall we warn him again?" β
"Don't be so violent, it's okay for one or two people to notice some clues." Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "What's more, this is the game world, even if you go and warn him, what can you do?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Okay, okay, don't worry."
Reaching out and touching another bottle of alchemy potion, Duan Qing's gaze still did not leave the purple gold coin floating in the center of the alchemy platform: "Since that person will take the initiative to come over and test us, it means that he wants to make friends with us, and those dragon scales placed on the ground are also proof of his sincerity." β
"As for the deeper purpose behind this, that's not something we need to think about right now...... Oooh. β
The purple light suddenly amplified in front of him, outlining a brilliant energy like a star map in front of the two people, but Duan Qing, who noticed that it was emitting a piercing resonance sound, immediately copied out a bottle of light gray potion and poured it on the surface of the star map: "It's so dangerous, it shouldn't have been discovered by that woman, right?" β
"Are you so afraid of being noticed by her?" Looking at the scene of the star map retracting into the gold coin under the effect of the potion, Xue Lingphantom Ice couldn't help but chuckle: "Because of what that person said before? β
"Since he knows our intentions, he also knows what I'm doing now."
Pointing in the direction where Gedmayne had left before, Duan Qing held the gold coin in his hand again: "No matter what his previous identity was, he is an old fritter who has been here for a long time, and he chose this point in time to remind us ......"
"He must know something about the background of the Violet Tower and its relationship with the Empire."
