"The Chosen One, the Chosen One...... Hey, every time I put this word on my lips, doesn't it just want us to do more work in the end? ”

At dusk after a while, at the end of the grassland where the sky gradually began to darken, Duan Qing, who was full of impatience, then followed the footsteps of a large number of teams to the edge of the undulating grassland hills, and slammed the bag of heavy packages on his shoulders on the ground: "This Surtu has begun to evolve towards a despicable and shameless boss and leader. ”

"Isn't that a good thing, at least it means we can trust him." Xue Lingphantom Ice, who also put a bag of packages on the grass and replied, was a little more relaxed at this time: "If it was the one who had more courage and less strategy when we first met Surtu before, wouldn't we be more tired at this time?" ”

"I'll admit he's a little bit stronger than he was back then, although it's still not a good thing for us." With a long breath, Duan Qing, who raised his head, tried his best to stretch his body, which seemed to be a little tired from carrying heavy objects for a long time: "But forget it, this shows that this guy has not been crushed by the many threats that are potential around us, and his heart is ready." ”

"Although this guy is a Chosen One, most likely he wants to let us go up when those enemies appear." Speaking of this, he smacked his mouth, as if he was still savoring the brief exchange between himself and the first leader of the Nasu tribe: "Damn, if that guy really sends us to death at that time, see if I don't take revenge on him." ”

"Is that what he meant by 'Wind Path'?"

Clapping his hands and moving as well, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who stretched out his slender and graceful body, then squatted down again: "We are actually walking in the direction of the leylines now?" ”

"That's right, because the winds on this road are gone." After a moment's pause in his movements, Duan Qing, who had sunk his face again, turned to raise his hand and gestured towards the depths of the dusk in the distance: "Although there are still some winds around us, these naturally generated winds are different from the previous storms that kept raging in every corner of the grassland—they are all the products of the continuous radiation of the energy of the leylines, just like what happened to us in the underground laboratory of the Varro Ruins. ”

"The liberation of the leylines not only blocks the transmission of energy, but also makes these radiated energy storms disappear along with them?" His hands continued to be busy back and forth because of tidying, and the snow spirit ice head squatting on the edge of the grass continued to ask without looking back, "How long can this phenomenon last?" Where can it be extended? ”

"I don't know if the underground lab ended up in the form of 'release' or 'destruction', and the difference in results between the two will also lead to a difference in the duration of this leyline pause." Pointing to the ground under the feet of the two people, Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "As for where it can be extended......

"The Surtu who followed some ancient path all the way to the present day probably knows more than I do."

A little flickering light flashed in his eyes, and the gray-robed magician gradually entered a state of contemplation, and the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, who was aware of this, did not continue to ask, but took out the things in the package for camping one after another: "But this is also a good thing, at least we don't need to spend the Wind Stone on the safety guarantee...... Hmm, what is this thing? ”

"Ordinary stones, I picked them up when I was in the underground ruins." Tilting his head, Duan Qing subconsciously replied: "Anyway, it's a temporary camp to rest, find some items that can be used to cover up and use as furniture, and if necessary, can also be used as a wall stack for guns." ”

"Battlements? Guns? So Xue Ling's eyes widened: "You still can't forget those works of yours?" And who else is there a gun for? Do you want to show it to others? ”

"Do you really think we're safe now? The enemy may suddenly jump out at some point. Duan Qing, who had temporarily woken up from his contemplative state and shook his head, replied helplessly, "Otherwise, why did Surtu place our team here?" ”

"Don't you just want us to be sentinels?"

Pointing to the grass slope not far behind the two people and the sunset that was still slanting backwards, Duan Qing secretly pursed his mouth, and the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice who took out the map then frowned after a period of comparison, and the eyes that glanced forward also stopped in front of the grassland: "So we are responsible for the guards in this direction...... Oh, that Surtu really trusts you. ”

"It's said that we are the chosen one, and now in his eyes, no one can defeat us." He let out a long breath, and the sigh belonging to Duan Qing also sounded again: "But no matter what, the necessary fortifications still need to be built, just treat it as our normal camp, and try to spend this night peacefully." ”

"You think there will be an attack?"

“…… Yes, and it's not unlikely. ”

The action of erecting the tent paused for a moment, and the bright eyes belonging to the white-haired woman then looked at Duan Qing who answered her in a low voice: "They may not know, but we know very well - the two players who died underground should have come back with someone to settle accounts with us a long time ago." ”

"Since they call themselves 'divine messengers', then most of them have already found strong camp support on this Wind Continent, right?" Tightening the rope of the tent in front of him, Xue Lingphantom Ice hid his face in the action of turning back: "If they come to attack us with a group of stronger people......"

"Surtu's decision was quick enough that we were able to get out of place in time." Duan Qing whispered to ease the other party's worries: "Even if they really find us, it should not be a chasing army like a large army, but a small elite force like us." ”

"What we love and do best is dealing with enemies like this, isn't it?" He winked at Xue Ling's Phantom Ice, and there was a bit of a smile in his voice that sounded again: "Maybe you have more opportunities to try your hand." ”

"Test the knife? I'm afraid it's going to be a life-and-death fight. The action of the binding increased a little force, and Xue Ling, who had been silent for a moment, pouted and replied: "I don't mind having a few games with them, but with you in this place, I always feel that I can't completely let go of my hands and feet." ”

"Unnecessary worries." Holding his arms and twisting his nose, Duan Qing's face began to become disdainful: "And who do you think I am?" I'm a person with two brushes now, okay? When you've got the battlements and fortifications in order, I'll show them how I can marksmanship!" ”

"Your marksmanship? Do you have marksmanship? I'm afraid that when the time comes, they will quietly follow us and rush forward and shoot the muzzle of the gun against someone else's body at zero distance, right? "Good Chinese

"What words? I feel like this mean—like such an unseemly person? I think that in "Future War", Lao Tzu can be regarded as one of the mercenaries who has climbed to the SSS level——"

Swish.

The refreshing white light suddenly appeared beside the two people, and the sound of blowing water that was just about to rise was also interrupted by the silhouette of the characters that gradually emerged here, and the condensed Gedmayne then looked around at the other two figures present, and spread his hands slightly innocently.

"Am I not in the right time?"

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

"Okay, let's talk about the situation."

The deep night and the endless starry sky gradually converged above the grassland, and the originally incomparably beautiful and deep phantom curtain was replaced by the warmth brought by the bonfire at the foot at this moment, and the figures of several players sitting together with their respective cups also enjoyed a wonderful picnic in their busy schedules at this time, and their voices also carried a bit of relaxation and indifference: "What is the big news outside?" ”

"Although a lot of things have happened on our side, it hasn't been long." Clearing his throat, it was his turn to take charge of the work, and Gedmane replied in a low voice, "But even so, a lot is going on outside. ”

"Let's start with the change of power on the side of the Free Continent." He sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said the information he had compiled after going offline: "The internal rule of the Frey Empire is quite stable, and there has not been any other excessive commotion under the resurrected Emperor Derainier. ”

"After all, these are extraordinary times, and those nobles within the empire must not want to let the situation continue to expand." Duan Qing, who was holding his chin, nodded his head subconsciously: "Dreyer deliberately sent the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the imperial capital, presumably out of the same consideration, although in hindsight, the reason why that poor guy was involved in that night's riot is really a bit of a coincidence...... By the way, who is the person in the imperial capital now? You can't let the emperor personally bow down and preside over the overall situation, right? ”

"Tristan, of course." Glancing at Duan Qing in front of him, Gedermaine pouted and replied: "The descendants of the former empire who have just returned to China and are innocent, caught up in scandals and crises, and finally walked out by relying on their own integrity and unyielding, and are themselves accepted by the people of the former prime minister's faction - such a person is most suitable to become the intermediary of the major factions." ”

"That's really ...... Somewhat surprising. The image of the middle-aged man and all the things that had happened since he met him flashed in his mind, and Duan Qing replied with a sigh: "Okay, this may be the most suitable result for Tristan, at least we don't have to worry about the black pot on our heads." ”

"Don't forget that we're still nominally members of the legations." Xue Lingphantas on the side rolled her eyes: "Eldest Princess Reina's trust in us is no weaker than others, as long as she is still here, our reputation and position will not collapse." ”

"But the eldest princess has been busy lately." This time, it was Gedemayne who explained again: "I heard that the negotiations between the empire and the principality are still ongoing, and they have reached the most critical stage, and the question of the innocence and retention of His Royal Highness Prince Chris has become a stalemate and unmanageable core point. ”

"Hmph."

There seemed to be a purple light on his body for a moment, and Duan Qing, who was reflected in the light of the bonfire, let out a cold snort with a dark face: "That stupid guy - even if he really dies, I probably won't feel pity." ”

"Agreed." Xue Lingphantom Bing also nodded his head: "Even if he is really not executed and brought back to China by the Empire, what awaits this guy is definitely not a good end." ”

"You two, it's a pair of pants wherever you go." Staring at the two of them and shaking his head, Gedmayne spread his hands helplessly: "Her Excellency Princess Rena is also very difficult to do now, after all, she is also her own blood relative, and the weirdness mixed in this incident has not been explained very reasonably. ”

"If you don't decide to find the Restoration, and the guys behind the Magic Empire." Xue Lingxuan, who spoke again, coldly pointed to the night sky above his head: "Although even if this account is counted on their heads, I don't want to let go of that prince's thoughts. ”

"Okay, okay, then let's change the subject." Patting his thigh, Gedmayne looked at the fortifications that had been briefly outlined around the campfire, "This is the treatment you got from Surtu?" I don't think it's as good as it used to be. ”

"No way, after all, we're positioned as sentry and scout." Duan Qing pointed helplessly to his body: "Being able to have such a simple thing to block a little bit before the crisis comes, it can be regarded as a little bit of use." ”

"Outpost? Scout? So Gedmayne blinked his eyes: "Prevent what? ”

"We don't know what to prevent, anyway, we should take precautions." Xue Ling Phantom Ice pointed at Duan Qing's face with a reasonable expression: "This is what he said before, I am only responsible for repeating and executing." ”

“…… Alas, forget it, as you please. Reaching out to press his forehead, Gedmayne's gaze disappeared under the campfire with the movement of his head down: "Then let's talk about the more pleasant news...... Remember the 'new alliance' mentioned earlier? ”

"Of course I do." Glancing at each other, the attention of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice was unexpectedly attracted: "What's wrong?" ”

"Although the previous Void War ended with the victory of the Magic Empire, the new Alliance side that occupies the Free City has made a name for itself." Clapping his hands, the corners of Gedmayne's mouth went up: "And now, they are finally ready to really make a move." ”

"The new 'League Cup' – they're already working on this kind of thing."
