As Duan Qing had expected, a few days after he received the letter, the city of Tania was calm again as if everyone had discussed it. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info council, nobles, commoners, and even the old man who has just appeared, the still silent black market, the dark forces that have disappeared, as if they have lost their ability to act, let this idle world and the strange balance continue. It's just that as time goes by, the residents and players who come and go in the city have begun to become less and less, and even passers-by and tourists who enter from other places have become a rarity on the street, and whenever a new player for unknown reasons breaks into the city, they will always involuntarily ask around what is going on in this city where only guards patrol the streets, and whether it is a player or a native, there is almost only one sentence to answer him.

"There's going to be a war."

Looking at the road outside the Adventurer Association, which had become bare, Duan Qing let out a long sigh, and then continued to copy his black short sword, sharpening the wooden stick in his hand one by one: "Although it is very unpleasant, I have to admit it...... The speed at which that old man integrated his forces was really incomparably fast. ”

"Probably because of the prestige that has been accumulated over a long period of time." The whisperer on the other side of the small table shook his head and replied, "That guy in Pamir doesn't look like an old man at all, but this guy ...... At least a few decades in office, right? ”

"According to the laws of the Principality, the Speaker who presides over the work of Parliament shall generally be nominated by the President who has been elected." Duan Qing leaned sideways and said, "So no matter what you think...... The Pamirs are supposed to be Hossman's people, why did they come to this juncture......"

"It's not a heart, is it?" Yu Liuyu shook his hair: "This is not simple, in order to eliminate the influence left by the Pamir who has been in charge of the overall situation for a long time, balance the power he has gained, and save his position from being threatened...... Have we seen less of this kind of thing in the past? ”

“…… But these are extraordinary times. Finally sharpened the things in his hand, Duan Qing stood up and handed the work in his hand to the counter of the association not far away: "That Hossman...... A lot of forces are talking about it, why can't only the Pamirs talk about it? The Empire is about to come over. ”

"Maybe there's some kind of gap between them that we don't know about." "Since he returned to power, he doesn't seem to have visited a single ......"

“…… Is Pamir still in Valletta Hospital? ”

"I heard that it's still there, but due to the excessive damage to the ward, it has been moved to another room to recuperate." "The fat man you mentioned is still by his side, so it seems that I haven't heard anything about his accident for the time being......"

"If this momentum continues, we shouldn't have to worry about anything happening." Rubbing the few gold coins he received in his hand, Duan Qing showed a helpless smile: "Even if it's an imperial person, it's just a matter of calling directly, where is there any need to play any conspiracy......"

“…… Did you really make it? ”

"Why, don't you believe in my craft?"

Looking at the flickering eyes on the other side gradually widened, Duan Qing said with disdain: "I can carve gems with a boning knife with my bare hands, and it is not easy to cut a stick......

"Then you'd better open a shop on Arrafurt Street." The blue-haired woman struck the other party unceremoniously: "And...... You're so powerful, why don't you fix the knife yourself? ”

"Uh...... Aha, it's not like there's no money. So Duan Qing grabbed the back of his head again: "A penny can stump a hero, let alone a little minion like me, if it weren't for Mengzhu not going online in the past two days, I wouldn't be able to save these gold coins......"

"How many gold coins?" Yu Liuyu squinted his eyes: "I haven't seen you idle in the past few days, I'm afraid you've saved a lot of private money, right?"

"It's not much, it's just a few hundred gold coins." Duan Qing exhaled: "Now the conditions are so bad, it's not easy to do business...... You probably know a lot more about this than I do. ”

“……”

The woman across the small table was silent for a while, then put down the wine glass in her hand and slowly leaned back: "Everything is not going well...... Mengzhu, that little girl, has not been on the line for a long time. ”

"Could it be that something is wrong?"

“…… I don't know. Duan Qing's voice also fell: "I don't know her personally."

"I usually see that you take good care of that little girl, but I didn't expect it to be really a passerby." As soon as the voice of the whisper changed, the fingers with the voice of armor also turned a few times in the air, and finally pointed in front of Duan Qing: "It's a shame that people are so good to you......

“…… Don't talk in that tone, we're still friends. Duan Qing said expressionlessly, and then lowered his eyes: "The message to her has never been broken, and the money in the free world has not been spent indiscriminately, other than that...... I'm not who I used to be, and there's no other way to do it......"

"I know, I know." He repeated twice as if comfortingly, then put his hands together and nodded his chin one by one: "That...... Does anyone else know her contact details? She didn't have any friends or teammates or anything like that? ”

“…… I've never heard of any other friends she has. Duan Qing recalled for a while: "As for teammates...... All I know is that she used to be a Wings of Freedom person before she met me. ”

"Wings of Freedom? What a coincidence. Yu Liuyu chuckled: "Why don't you go and ask that one called Xue Ling Phantom Ice to try it?"

“…… There's no way she'll know each other. Duan Qing shook his head: "The two of them had just met when they were in the Emerald Forest, and they didn't have anything to do with each other for the rest of the time...... Before that, she was supposed to be an ordinary member under the name of another captain, and at that time, she was ......"

Time passed slowly as Duan Qing spoke, and the blue-haired woman's complexion changed significantly with Duan Qing's words: "Huh...... So, she's a poor person too?

"Finally understand the good intentions of our Grand Master?" Duan Qing clapped his hands: "Congratulations, congratulations...... Ouch. ”

Retracting her foot under the small table, the woman smiled indifferently again: "But...... To make me admit with this little thing, it's impossible. ”

"Then why are you rushing to join the Fool Adventure Party?" Duan Qing grinned and rubbed his calves: "Even I have to honestly obey her orders here......"

"Because I'm a good and capable member, how can I be like you...... I like to run around and owe people a million gold coins......"

“…… That's not the reason for you to join the party, is it? One by one, they squeezed their heads and drilled into ......."

"Yikes! You're here! ”

An excited girl's voice suddenly startled the two people who were still talking: "I'm back!"

"Look, another example of what you call your head out."

“…… Damn it. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Oh no, nothing...... Thousand-fingered crane, where have you gone? I haven't seen you in the past two days......"

"Hey, hey."

The girl didn't answer immediately, but let out two smug snickers: "Of course it's going...... Mission accomplished! ”

She shouted, and then held a fiery red staff hidden behind her back in front of the two of them: "Dangdang! That's what I just got rewarded! ”

“……”

The light in the hall of the association brightened for a moment with the appearance of this staff, and then returned to normal again, but that red and abnormal scene would not avoid the sight of the surroundings, not to mention the two people in front of them, Duan Qing and Yu Liuyu. So they looked at each other, and then silently stood up, walked forward left and right, and set up the unknown girl.

"Hey, what are you doing? Wait a minute, I can go on my own, let me down......"

Bang.

With a hurried sound of the door closing, the girl who was at a loss because of the erection waved the red staff in her hand and disappeared behind the door of a certain room, a few covetous sights. And sensing the change in this feeling, Duan Qing, who was relieved, put down the arm of the Thousand Fingered Crane and sat down on the floor of the room belonging to their adventure group: "Whew, I almost made a move......

"Huh?" The red-haired girl still had a pair of confused eyes: "What the hell is going on?" Who's going to shoot at whom? ”

"Of course it's you!"

Duan Qing knocked on the other party's skull, and then snatched the staff from her hand in the girl's painful expression, and ran to the side to investigate carefully: "Such a good thing, I will definitely grab it in front of me!" And also...... You tell me it's epic quality? The requirements are so low and there are five attributes, with three special effects, and one is stronger than the other? What the hell is this exclusive weapon? Are you the only one who can use it? Are we still playing a game? ”

"Don't worry, he's just been so unlucky lately, so he's a little excited." The whisperer on the side explained with a chuckle, and then crossed his arms and turned sideways: "However, this thing is indeed a bit ...... We didn't expect it. ”

"I got this after I worked so hard to complete the task." The girl pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, and then pulled up her waist proudly: "How is it?" Isn't it amazing? ”

"Of course it's amazing, so powerful that everyone wants to rob it on the spot." Staring at the tip of the staff, a diamond-shaped block surrounded by a dark red aura, Duan Qing shook his head and whispered, "Haven't you heard of the truth that wealth is not exposed? The people outside are about to pounce......"

"They don't have that guts." But he showed a confident smile: "Who dares to come up...... Whoever was chopped alive. ”

“…… Okay, okay, count you awesome. ”

Looking at the girl's still unclear expression, Duan Qing spread his hands, and then handed the smooth staff to the blue-haired woman: "You can also upgrade...... What kind of quest would give such a good reward? Will you give me a dozen? ”

"Yes, it was the library last time."

The girl recalled for a while, and then pulled her hair and explained: "Last time...... It was after the last event was disbanded, I thought I would make a little more money, so I went back to the library and wanted to finish the previous commission......"

"That commission is not ...... Forget it, you continue. ”

"The curator didn't give me any work, just let me sit there and read, and then ...... Then my mentor came, and he casually explained the situation and then introduced me to my mentor. ”

"Mentor?"

"yes!" Speaking of this, the Thousand Fingered Crane became noticeably more excited: "Although she doesn't talk much, she is actually a very good person!" She taught me a lot of magic techniques, gave me a lot of tasks to practice, and finally gave me a very difficult trial task......"

"Wait, wait, wait." Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hand to interrupt her: "You...... Have you apprenticed? ”

"Ah, if that's the case......" The girl reacted for a while, "It seems to be right."

"So, can you continue to be an adventurer? There are no restrictions or requirements or anything like that......"

"No, no, absolutely not." The girl hurriedly waved her hand: "I asked her about this from the beginning!" I haven't joined the adventure party yet, how can I just give up......"

"Then, your master...... Oh no, Mentor...... Will your mentor still care about you in the future? It won't let you do chores all the time, right? ”

"What, what, mentor, she's good to me!" The girl said dissatisfiedly: "Where is it so unbearable as you say, she not only taught me a lot of knowledge, but also cooked for me to eat, such a big bison, she roasted it in one swoop, even more amazing than that Rex!" It's just that...... It's just that she seemed to be in a hurry later, so she hurriedly left this staff......"

"So good? Does your mentor still accept people? There is no shortage of handsome and chic people like me, and they are not afraid of hardship...... Ah! ”

A foot with iron boots appeared in the air and kicked Duan Qing, who was sitting on the ground again, to the side: "A cheeky guy like you, people will definitely not want it."

"Damn...... Why don't I have such good luck? Duan Qing, who fell to the side, beat his chest and said, "I knew that I also invested all my points in intelligence......

"I don't know how she was chosen, but ......" Whisper's eyes turned around on the staff again, and finally returned to Thousand-Fingered Crane's hand with her movements: "I'm afraid her mentor only accepts mages, otherwise you, who have been to the library so many times, would have been in their eyes a long time ago...... Not. ”

Her words paused, as a teleported light began to appear in the corner of the room, and then reflected the figure of a maid: "...... It looks like a lively place. ”

"The results are in?"

"Yes." The maid saluted slightly: "Preliminaries......"

"It's all over."
