"Cape ...... Haiwang"

With the name in his mouth, Duan Qing's figure appeared outside the door of the black magic hut, looking at the sunset that was about to set, and walked towards the depths of the alley: "Is it true?" ”

"Forget it, just treat it as if you were cheated once."

Silently making up her mind in her heart, Duan Qing put away her suspicions, and at the same time carefully pocketed the invisibility potion that a certain shadow mage had thrown to her before—in the previous time, as the Void Librarian, she had introduced herself to a series of rumors about pirate treasures, and one of the important pieces of information was the "Covenant of the Cape of Haiwang" mentioned in the record.

"Legend has it that in the era when countless pirates just appeared and made waves, they used to be the overlords of the East China Sea, but even the most powerful forces have a process from chaos to unification within them. Countless pirates have been fighting among themselves in order to become kings, trying to bring all the pirate forces under their command, and when they are exhausted by their own battles and foreign forces are about to take advantage of them, these pirates who have been fighting for decades finally realize that they should unite and end this senseless war. ”

"Even the pirates of the Endless Sea have a bit of a free city in character...... The so-called covenant refers to this thing? ”

"The so-called covenant is just a legend, even if it is written on the page, otherwise it ...... For so many years of adventurers, where can there be a reason not to find it? ”

With the words that Shanaiduo had said before echoing in his heart, Duan Qing smiled helplessly, but the hand that tapped the hilt of the sword gradually became rhythmic, as if he had thought of something interesting - the pirates at that time gathered at a place called Cape Haiwang for a truce, and then just like a joint promise made by the warlords of all parties, they demarcated the distribution of interests in the vast East China Sea and their respective spheres of influence. Such a covenant could not win the support of everyone, and even the pirates who signed their names could not trust each other, so in order to show their sincerity, all of them left the treasure they had brought with them in that place, and sealed the covenant as a deposit, along with countless gold and silver. In the more than ten years since then, the pirates of all sides are still in conflict as before, and every time the pirate leader of one side dies under various reasons, and then gradually buried in the overlap of generations, but those sealed treasures are not cared for, and even the pirates who signed their names and were later breached by the other party did not want to go back and take them out, so the property of all the pirates in the East China Sea was collected together with the Cape of Haiwang, which was somewhere else. Together, they disappeared into the long river of time like the waves of the sea.

Until just now, when Duan Qing heard the name Haiwangjiao for the second time.

"The location given by the pirate before his death is not very credible, but the name Cape of the Sea is not always a lie, but if the account given by Shanaido is not wrong, what is the legend of the Nordrian dynasty...... It's pure nonsense. Duan Qing pondered quietly: "In comparison, I believe more in the history mentioned in the records, but even the almighty ancients don't seem to have the ability to find out where the Cape of Haiwang is located......"

"Maybe I should go and meet Teacher Zhou Xue, they should be preparing to go on a treasure hunt these days." Duan Qing, who thought of this, shook his head: "If they check for a long time, they finally find this library......

That's interesting.

Constantly comparing the intersection between these two rumors, the corners of Duan Qing's mouth pulled out a smile, and in the constant breeze in his ears, it seemed to sound again what he had said before leaving: "Freedom City originally had an official library, but it was later wiped out like other useless organizations, so the current Dark Arts Hut, strictly speaking, is not an official replacement for Freedom City......

"I'm afraid the people of the warlike Free City don't want to spend their time with reading, do they? On the contrary, those of us who are adventurers may be a little interested in some of the content. ”

"Unfortunately, I am not one of the hospitable people, and as one of the owners of the Twelve Thrones, I am under no obligation to provide free services to you people......"

"Really? This so-called Void Library...... It doesn't look like it's private, I seem to have seen a similar structure somewhere before......"

The sense of déjà vu, this is the feeling that Duan Qing had when he first entered that space, it was the same scene he had encountered when he visited the mountaintop library in Fenghua Town. Ms. Rama, who had met him at the time and later learned his name, also introduced him to the structure of the dome building and explained the origin of the name "library", but he didn't easily step into the alien space that he had shown to him at that time. The image of the woman who looked very young but had a very old voice was still remembered in Duan Qing's heart, but the simple and simple layout of the hilltop hut was difficult to leave a deep impression on him, otherwise he might be able to use these clues to find out the hidden connection between the two libraries, but until the end just now, Duan Qing did not mention this to Shanaiduo in person, because his subconscious told him that this might be a big secret that caused another question.

"But now that I think about it, even the two huts are very similar in appearance." Recalling the appearance of the Black Magic Hut, Duan Qingmo lifted his chin: "This kind of magical thing...... It can't be a coincidence, right? It's a pity that most of the current Fenghua Town has fallen into the hands of the restorationists, otherwise maybe there will be a chance to go back and visit in the future, and by the way, this matter will be confirmed...... Well? ”

The sound of the wind in the alley gradually disappeared, and the footsteps belonging to Duan Qing gradually stopped, he lowered his head, but after a while, he slowly turned around, looking at a certain black shadow that was already blocking his way: "Alas, are you so ......impatient?"

His words stopped suddenly, because the light at this time was still quite good, but through the afterglow of the setting sun, Duan Qing did not find any ID and name on the other party's head: "You are...... Who? ”

The other party didn't answer, but slowly pulled out his weapon, and in the same harsh sound of metal friction from behind him, Duan Qing, who was leaning sideways against the wall, showed a wry smile, and also pulled out his black short sword: "Okay, okay......"

"I didn't expect it to be so fast...... I was really in trouble. ”

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

“…… You've arrived? All? ”

“……”

"I see...... Well...... Well...... No, I won't be there for a while. ”

“……”

"I know what you're trying to say, but your plans have nothing to do with me in the first place...... Yes, those previous plans have nothing to do with me, and I will not have them in the future. ”

“……”

"Winning the second place is also my second, and it is the result of my joint efforts with the Phantom Sea Crazy Star! Do you really believe the rumors that you have spread, thinking that you can beat the second place in the world if you reach the finals? I'll tell you Xu Liang...... Ah, sorry. ”

"It's me who lost my temper."

“……”

"It's okay, I'm out for a walk this time for this reason, please don't worry about me, I believe that after this period of time...... I'm going to be in better shape than before. ”

“……”

"Thanks, then ......"

Toot –

Looking at the flashing lights, the woman quietly put down the communication ball in her hand, then looked up at the ceiling and fell headlong on the bed behind her. The chaotic thoughts gradually dissipated with the tranquility, and she closed her eyes quietly, the smell of a man who had lived here for a long time was through the air, involuntarily invading her sense of smell.

"Maybe I should clean up for a few more days......"

Sitting up from the bed in hatred, the woman combed her long black hair, then pushed open the door and walked into the small living room. The familiar ceiling was shining with white lights, and the teacups on the table had not changed in the slightest as before, and the woman who had checked all this carefully went to the next room to confirm it, and then breathed a sigh of relief at the fact that the other party was still in the game: "That's good......"

Holding her arms and thinking for a while, the woman finally gave up the idea of cooking by herself, and then after a period of friction, she reappeared in the free city of the free world. The hustle and bustle in the tavern also began to grow bigger and bigger as the night fell, mixed with the unique shouts and scolding of the drinkers, the woman who was alone in the corner of the room frowned slightly, and the hand that just wanted to quit the game again was startled back by a sudden movement of pushing the door open: "...... Wait for me, I'll be right away...... Ah, it's Miss Snow. ”

“…… What's wrong, Niu? ”

"Isn't Big Brother Aoyama here? This is what I am responsible for finding, and if he comes in a while, he will say that I, Liu Qingniu, have found it. ”

The short-haired young man spoke these words very quickly, and at the same time threw a bag of things wrapped in a pile of paper in his hand on the wooden table, and then slammed the door shut in the noise that was once again blocked to the periphery of the room: "Gone, gone!" XX actually dared to bully our brothers, see if I don't kill them......"

"Alas......"

I don't know whether I want to cry or laugh, Xue Linghuanbing sighed lightly, slowly got up from the ground in the corner, and then held on to the hilt of his sword and walked to the side of the desk: "...... The Skin of the Forest? Found it so quickly......"

Perhaps remembering the inexplicable things on the shoulders of this small team, the woman showed a smile, and her right hand, which had put down the paper bag, involuntarily raised it in front of her. The voice in the tavern seemed to have become less noisy with the woman's precipitation, and everything that had happened around her before seemed to be less hateful, she quietly stared at the pair of gloves surrounded by ice and snow in her hand, and then hugged her chest: "Heh......"

The noise in the tavern amplified abruptly, then narrowed again as someone closed the door: "...... What happened to you? ”

“…… You're back. ”

Lowering his hands, Xue Lingphantom Ice raised his head: "You...... This is? ”

"There was a little trouble on the way."

Duan Qing, who was covered in scars, gasped slightly, showed a relieved smile at Xue Lingphantom Bing, and then dragged his body and walked to the other side of the wooden table: "It seems that because of the recent frequent investigations, I have been targeted by people with intentions...... What is it? ”

"Ah Niu has already got his hands on the things, although I don't know what kind of means he used." Xue Linghuan replied with a smile: "But he put down his things and left, it seems that something happened to his own brothers in the gang, so he left in a hurry......"

"Really?"

Flipping through the items called Forest Skins in his hand, Duan Qing put it back in place with a breath, then covered his shoulders and sat on one of the wooden chairs with grinning: "Okay, since that shadow mage said so, let's try to complete her commission...... What about the others? ”

"I ...... It's also just launched. Xue Lingbing lowered her head and replied, "I don't know the whereabouts of the others......"

"Everyone has been busy lately, running around for materials, and hiding in ......Tibet all day long," Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "Forget it, Ning Lan's guy doesn't seem to have seen him for a long time, wouldn't it be because of me, the temporary head of the group, to leave the company early, right?" ”

"It's impossible, that maid of your house...... It seems to listen to you the most. Speaking of this, Xue Lingphantasm Ice once again returned to her previous cold expression: "Are you looking forward to her going online to rub your legs and beat your back?" ”

“…… When have you ever seen her do any of this? Duan Qing squinted at the other party: "Although she used to ...... Well, even though she can do anything, we never make any rude requests......"

"Will you do anything?" Xue Ling's expression became even colder: "You ...... What have you done before? ”

"Hey, hey, why is your mind so evil?" Duan Qing, who was covered in pain, hurriedly raised his hands: "I just used the language of praise to praise our family's Ning Lan casually, and I don't have any other meaning......

“…… It's your home's Ning Lan. ”

"Okay, it's my home, it's my family......"

Finally feeling a hint of murderous intent retreating, Duan Qing sighed and lowered his raised hands, and then after a period of speechless silence, he opened the formal topic in a low voice: "Do you remember the matter of that treasure?" ”

“…… How? You're still going to find that thing? ”

"I'm not a troublemaker, but that treasure might have something to do with the current situation." Duan Qing groaned and said, "Considering what I promised you before...... Let's prepare as early as possible. ”

“…… If you don't have a problem, then I don't have an opinion either. Xue Lingphantasm glanced at the other party lightly, and then lowered his head again: "Do you need to contact those players?" ”

"Hmm...... Originally, it was planned to take our own people with them. Duan Qing smiled and said, "But since they are not here......"

"It's better to bring a few more helpers than the two of us."
