973 Fate
"Well, isn't there anything between us-"
"Nope."
The hurricane that blew suddenly slowly stopped in the intersection of the three figures that gradually stabilized, and the figure that belonged to the rising sun and half lying on the ground appeared in the swaying campfire, he looked at the tip of the sword in front of him that pointed directly at his throat and the white-haired woman who extended up, and the cold sweat on his face flowed down one by one: "Hey, hey, don't be like this, don't do this, let's talk about any misunderstanding!" β
"So it's all said that there is no misunderstanding between us."
The frost on his face became a little heavier, and Xue Lingxue Ice, who was looking down at the big axe warrior in front of him, took two steps forward again: "You dare to run in front of us...... Go to hell. β
"Stop!"
Hurriedly raised his hands high, and the back of the head of the asahi Dongsheng, who retreated with the sword blade that was advancing forward, slowly pressed against the ground: "This ...... Well, Lady Heroine, I don't know anything, for the sake of the heavens, can't you just let me die a little more clearly? β
"You want to die a little more clearly? I thought you knew it all right. Xue Lingphantom Bing, who took another step forward, stepped on the other party's thigh: "It's okay, anyway, just because you are a member of the dynasty team, this is enough." β
"You, you have a grudge against the Dynasty clan?"
His eyes pulled along with the upward rolling eyelids, and Chao Ri Dongsheng, who was lying on the ground with his hands raised high, then glanced at the location of Duan Qing, who had not made a sound: "So what I said was a misunderstanding!" Didn't I say before that I'd leave that guild? I'm free now, and I don't have anything to do with them......"
"Oh, is it? But I listened to your tone before, and you seem to be quite proud of the name Dynasty. Still maintaining his posture of flipping the barbecue, Duan Qing's gaze stayed on the bonfire in front of him: "And I also paid attention to your chest just now, there is a sign of an adventure group......
Syllable.
A loud slapping sound then sounded next to the campfire, interrupting Duan Qing's leisurely and careless voice abruptly, and Asahi Dongsheng, who had always maintained a posture of raising his hands in surrender, then twisted his suddenly closed palms vigorously, twisting the dragon tooth sword in his palm to the outside of his face. The sand and dirt were then swept towards the air by the campfire with the sight of the body churning, mixed with the cry of the great axe warrior as he struggled to get up, but the next moment this cry was struck by the toes of the snow spirit phantom ice, and turned into a miserable scream: "Ahββ! β
"You...... This one...... The mad woman ......" clutched her crotch, and the warrior fell to the ground again with a mournful cry that only a man could understand: "In vain for me...... Just now...... Still...... Call you...... Heroine ......"
"To deal with despicable people, you naturally don't need to be stingy with despicable means." Gently flicking his toes, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who stepped forward again, suppressed the other party's protest with a crisp sword sound: "What's more, you actually tried to resist just now. β
"I, I was wrong." After gasping vigorously for a while, Asahi Dongsheng finally squeezed out the cold sweat on his face completely: "Heroine, spare your life, please let me go." β
"Since you are a member of the dynasty, it is impossible to let you go." Xue Ling, who was still standing in front of him with a sword, shook his head slightly: "And...... Killing you now and sending you back to the city will only cheapen you. β
"Okay, well, I'm still a dynasty person."
The big axe warrior who kept twitching with his hands on his lower body and kept gasping for cold air in his mouth then gritted his teeth and said his next sentence: "Yes, can you have a buddy who understands and explains?" I, I'm in a state of decentralization now, and I don't know where my guild has offended you. β
"Decentralized state?" Xue Ling, who was still pointing his sword at the other party, raised his eyebrows: "It's the kind of behavior that temporarily freezes the members of the team for various reasons?" β
"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Asahi Dongsheng, who was still struggling in pain, nodded hurriedly when he heard this: "Although I am still a member of the dynasty, I am still happy to mention the name of my team, but what has happened to our team recently, I really don't know as a homeless man." β
ββ¦β¦ It's okay if you don't know, anyway, it doesn't have much to do with us killing you. Xue Lingphant's eyes were cold and she replied, "You just need to know...... The dynastic clan has formed a bond with us, and now it is enough to be an enemy who is not in the same world. β
"Yes, do you use it so seriously, what kind of hatred and what kind of grudge?"
"Grab the boss's revenge."
"Robβwell, this feud is indeed big enough."
The voice that wanted to continue struggling with his throat suddenly stopped, and Asahi Dongsheng, who was covering his lower body with both hands, turned his head with an embarrassed expression: "There are only a few kinds of scarce resources in virtual real games, and bosses are one of them, and in a place like the free world, it is even more so if you want to get good equipment." β
"I've been hanging around this wasteland for so long, and I've not killed many bosses." He looked at the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice above with a distressed expression: "Don't say anything about the world leader, even if it's those wanted criminals hanging in the Adventurers' Guild...... Wait a minute. β
"What level of boss are you robbed?" He turned his head to look at Xue Ling's face: "If possible, I can make up for it, you fancy something on me, just take it away......"
"What we were robbed of was that rock saloon in Kemparo Canyon."
As if mentioning something that made her extremely angry, the long white hair behind Xue Lingphantom Ice seemed to begin to float with her voice of gritting teeth: "And it was only after we defeated that dragon that you suddenly appeared." β
"Speaking of which, it seems that the Linyuan Broken Water Brother just now also mentioned it...... Ahahahaha. With a bitter laugh, Asahi Dongsheng then pulled the corners of his mouth: "If you don't mind, can you tell me about your losses?" As a member of the Dynasty Clan, I can help you in any way I can......"
"We have nothing to lose."
"What, what?"
Looking at Xue Ling's incomparably calm face, the big axe warrior lying on the ground blinked his eyes: "What does this mean?" β
"That's the trial mission for us to build an adventure party."
Turning his head slightly to look in the direction where Duan Qing was, Xue Ling Phantom Ice said with a stiff face: "Being able to kill that rock salon is in itself our greatest gain. β
"Yes, that's right."
let out a slight sigh, and Asahi Dongsheng, who had originally shown a sighing look, raised his head as if he remembered something: "Then why are you still here so angry!" Didn't you guys get robbed at all! β
"Please don't rely on this rhetoric to turn black and white upside down." Using the threat of force to forcibly suppress the words that the other party just wanted to lift, Xue Lingphantom Ice pushed forward the blade in his hand: "In any case, the result of that dragon's fall being snatched away is an indisputable fact, and it is also a despicable method such as 'hiding by the side in advance, and then running out to profit after both sides are defeated'......"
"At that time, I can still let you take advantage of people's danger." At this point, she lowered her voice again, and her face became as cold as winter: "But nowβthere can't be another chance like this." β
"Wait, waitβ"
"Stop."
The same sound of begging for mercy and dissuasion sounded in the ears of the two people again, but this time it was not the big axe warrior lying on the ground who made this sound, and the gentle and quiet voice was also like Duan Qing's posture sitting next to the bonfire at this time, and instantly stopped Xue Ling's illusory ice's movements: "Okay, okay, don't play." β
ββ¦β¦β
Slightly raising his head to look up at the gray-robed magician, Xue Lingphantom Ice slowly raised the blade of the sword in his hand a few points: "Yes." β
"Hey, she's so obedient?"
Raising his head in surprise, Asahi Dongsheng, who had maintained a struggling posture before, looked at Duan Qing with surprised eyes: "Yes, buddy, can you teach me a few tricks a little bit about this ability to control women...... Not. β
He stretched out his hand, and then blocked Xue Ling's cold eyes again in the feeling that the killing intent beside him instantly flowed through his heart: "I, I was wrong, I apologize, you can make me as much as you want." β
"Actually, I don't have much resentment about what happened at that time."
Finally shifting his eyes that had been paying attention to the barbecue in his hand a few points, Duan Qing raised his head with a smile: "It's been so long, and the little mustard in my heart has long disappeared." β
"Of course, she may still be haunted by what your companions have done." He pointed to the silent gesture of the white-haired woman who gradually walked to sit down next to him: "Plus you just ate her food......"
"Yes, that's right!"
patting his head, Asahi Dongsheng smiled dryly and rejoined the campfire: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law-ah, no, it's the eldest sister, I didn't mean to, if you want to blame this boyfriend of yours, the meat skewers he grilled are really delicious......"
"Okay, okay, stop slapping."
Looking at Xue Ling, who was sitting down on his knees, quietly picking up a skewer of barbecue, Duan Qing couldn't help but pull out a warm smile: "Meeting is fate, we were originally able to meet in the wilderness, but I didn't expect ......"
"The fate between us is actually deeper than imagined."
He put away his smile, and then looked at Asahi Dongsheng's face with a scrutinizing gaze: "Do you say yes, Brother Asahi Dongsheng of the dynasty?" β
ββ¦β¦ I'm sorry. Asahi Dongsheng waved his hand a little bitterly: "I didn't expect that the guy who fell to the dynasty would actually fall to the point of making a living by robbing other people's bosses, and he sent the enemy to me so quickly......"
"For the sake of this staff and the clues behind it, I won't pursue that boss robbery."
Stroking the staff in his hand, Duan Qing then motioned to the big axe warrior not far away, "So...... For the sake of us having eaten so many skewers, can you also show some sincerity? β
"Absolutely."
A knowing smile gradually appeared on his face, and Asahi Dongsheng wiped his mouth, and then wiped the sweat and wrinkles on his face together, and walked back to the side of the bonfire with a big grin: "Although he is a poor ghost, the weapons and equipment on his body are not valuable, but ......"
"Ronin, who live by surviving in the wild, naturally have our own way of repaying us."
He patted the arched muscles of his arm and grinned confidently.
******************************
"All right, brothers, get up for me!"
The starry night sky flew by with the passage of time, and in the blink of an eye, a new morning in the free world was brought to the surroundings of Tanzania, and the ancient and quiet of the city slowly showed signs of revival with the arrival of this morning, accompanied by many normal residents who should have started work in the morning. In the spirit of guarding the safety of the city, the barracks and outposts located around the walls of Tanzania City gradually woke up with the arrival of dawn, and this awakening also became much faster than the rest of the city with the intervention of several imperial officers and captains: "It's dawn, it's dawn!" Get up and get to work! β
"Don't be noisy, boss, we called three girls from the Cilo Tavern yesterday, and drank a whole barrel of sweet ale......
"How dare you mention this! Aren't you the first bastard to disarm and surrender in front of Nana! If you don't get up for me again, Lao Tzu will have to engage in military law! β
"Yes, yes!"
Although there was a hint of chaos, the Empire's long-standing training and strict military discipline quickly pulled the group of Imperial soldiers who were sleeping in the camp out of the bed, and they formed a group under the orders of their respective captains and superiors, and then set off in turn in the direction of their respective patrols as usual. After going through almost the same process, Lot, who walked quickly to the outside of the tent, then brought the black lines on his face to the silent vision of his own group of soldiers, and although they still maintained a neat formation because of the anger felt by the burly soldiers, their bodies that should have been motionless also shivered involuntarily: "Team, captain!" All members of the 3rd Squadron of the 2nd Brigade! It's ready! Please instruct! β
"Stand upright."
Coughing his throat as always, Lott stood in front of this group of soldiers, his eyes were like unsheathed sabers: "Today's task remains the same, it is still to patrol along the perimeter of the C line, ensure the safety of the city, and maintain the prestige of the prince!" β
"Do you understand?" He shouted out his words, then nodded at the group that responded loudly: "Good, then ......"
"I have a few people, I want to introduce them to you first."
His voice turned back to a low voice, and then he pointed to Duan Qing and the others who were gradually walking out behind him.
