"—let's make a bet."

"Bet on what?"

"Just bet if you'll rush up excitedly for a moment and give you a warm hug or something."

“…… Bored. ”

"Don't be so serious."

Walking in the same scene of ruins and broken walls, the swordsman player named Jian Beidong was also saying casual words like broken thoughts at this time, and the sword blades weighing up and down were also mixed with the fluttering hair in front of him in a naked state, mixed with the fluttering hair: "Anyway, the results are already in front of us, even if the person who is revealed in the end is not the person we imagined, you and I have no way to regret it...... Or else. ”

"I'll bet on this Sky Blade in my hand." He gestured the green blade in his hand to the blue-haired female swordsman beside him, and a provocative expression appeared on his face: "This is the only treasure I have on me now, how about it?" ”

"Who's going to want your baby?" What answered him was the disgusted voice of the whisper: "It seems to be like an artifact, but the result is not the garbage swept on the streets of Sky City, how can it be compared to my Hua Yan?" ”

"I didn't say that you should use your Huayan as a bet, you can bet whatever you want." The expression on Jian Beidong's face still looked relaxed and determined: "Anyway, the result will definitely be that I won, and whatever you take will be obediently given to me." ”

"Good!"

Finally, he couldn't get angry with the smug look on the naked swordsman in front of him and the hateful eyes looking at him, and he completely lost the majesty and calmness that he had always been like a superior: "I'll take this bet!" Anyway, you just threw the 'Flame Flower' twice in a row, you guy's eyes are already red, right? If you win, what if I give you this Huayan to play for two days? ”

"Hahahaha! You jumped in on your own. Jian Beidong, who laughed loudly, then immediately turned behind the two people: "Ning Lan, you have to testify to me!" ”

"Absolutely." Her face was also full of smiles, and her hands were in front of her, and Ning Lan then nodded her head: "Although Ning Lan herself also has some suggestions, since it is a gamble that both parties agree to——"

"You, don't talk too much." Hurriedly interrupted the other party's words, and Jian Beidong, who retreated to the maid player with both hands, then also rolled his eyes and changed the topic to an irrelevant direction: "Ahahahaha, it seems that this place is a little far from the style of Sky City." ”

"Originally, I thought someone from the Mage Council had come here, but now it doesn't seem to be the case." After regaining his usual calm and calm appearance, he no longer looked at Jian Beidong, and then replied nonchalantly: "This place is more like a remnant of ancient ruins, not to mention the architectural style, and even the actual state looks like it has not been used for a long time." ”

"The only thing that is certain is that 'there is a master here', like the safe haven of Molnar." Pinching his chin and turning his head, Jian Beidong, who maintained a walking posture, also turned his gaze to the range of the tower in front of him: "It doesn't seem to be a very large area, and the building complex is obviously centered on that tower, combined with the figure floating in the sky in the vision we saw before...... Hmm, it can't be the private domain of some great magician, right? ”

"It's also possible that it's a private territory on the Magic Empire's side, after all, what happened before is more like a 'living ritual' on the Magic Empire's side." Guessing that the answer was getting closer and closer, the look of vigilance in the eyes of the whispering liu also flashed: "But this possibility should be smaller, after all, according to Ning Lan, the Fura who appeared in front of us just now should not cooperate with the Magic Empire." ”

"This is even more uncertain, after all, the methods of the Magic Empire are also strange and changeable, and even the great magician Christine is on their side, in case something happens that we don't expect the plot to unfold - hmm."

They also found countless magical runes flowing in front of them like an enchantment, and the footsteps of the three people stopped in front of the powerful magical power that constantly surrounded the tower, and the tower, which seemed to be higher than the clouds, was also blowing in the air at this time, standing in the center of the stone houses that also looked old and dense. The wind, which is much stronger than that of the Free Continent, seems to have encountered an equally strong opponent here, and the scene of rolling up sand and gravel in front of the three of them is also in stark contrast to the calm and dead silence on the other side of the magic barrier, and they are not afraid of the strong wind at this time, they also fixed their eyes on the flow runes of these magic circles, as if they want to find some way to move forward: "It seems to be a forbidden area." ”

"At first glance, it is the same existence as the center and the core, of course, outsiders are not allowed to enter at will, but ...... There doesn't seem to be any one in there. ”

"Fura said that as long as you keep walking to the central area, you can do it, but you don't even meet anyone! Do the current dragons also like to talk about it? ”

"She shouldn't be boring enough to trick us out of this way, and she mentioned that person's name, so-"

The sound of a rattle then sounded in the depths of the ruins near the three people, and the feeling of collapse and bricks and rubble scattered on the ground quickly formed in their ears, and they were suddenly vigilant, and then they also put down their raised weapons, and their eyes gathered in unison on the embarrassed figures that were gradually rising between the ruins: "Ouch, this road is too difficult to walk, I should really let Violet pass me over...... Hey? ”

"It's really you."

Patting the dirt on his body, the body of the person who came up then became clear in front of everyone with a surprised face: "When I saw the firebird before, I thought it might be you, but I didn't expect it—why, you don't know me?" ”

"Hee-hee." Involuntarily let out a snicker, and the code whisper in the trio Ning Lan took the lead in flashing a rapidly sweeping light and stood in front of the other party: "Leave them alone, sir, they just don't know how to speak." ”

"Oh, really?" Holding on to the wall and walking out of the confines of the ruins, the gray-robed magician who stood in front of everyone again then showed his own smile: "It's okay, it's okay, we have time to tell each other's stories." By the way, you seem to have gone through a lot of hardships to get here, right? I really didn't expect it at first—"

"Duan Tianfeng!"

The enthusiastic call then interrupted his babbling words like an old man, and the fragrant wind that came came also with a whisper, and the figure of white armor and blue hair suddenly appeared in front of Duan Qing, and her eyes, which had already faded from her calmness, flowed with the excited brilliance that was released, and she wanted to reach out and hold the other party's hands tightly, but was interrupted by a cough from behind her: "Ahem!" Ahem! ”

"That's—long time no see."

Ignoring the appearance of the whisper Liuyu who was trembling in place, Jian Beidong, who finally stepped forward, patted Duan Qing's shoulder with a smile: "I heard that you have changed your number, and now you still can't get off the line, is it true?" ”

"Ah, there's something up there out there." A familiar and warm feeling flowed through his heart, Duan Qing shook his head and looked at the face of the handsome man in front of him: "But it's quite good to mix in this world." ”

"I can see it, I haven't seen you for a while, and I'm about to become a big landlord." Raising his head and looking at the tower behind Duan Qing, Jian Beidong pointed above and shouted: "And you, the landlord, are different from ordinary landlords, occupying all the places to the sky." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, this is not our territory." Putting on a righteous expression, Duan Qing then smiled and gestured to his side: "This is my mentor's territory, and we are only a part of the fence now, but it is precisely because of her efforts that we have been able to survive on this grassland." ”

"Oh? So you've got another powerful NPC master? What answered him was Jian Beidong's exaggerated shout: "I want to envy you with my real name!" Every time you play, it's like that! With so many people inside and outside you, you can still make such a big move, not only encounter one adventure after another, but also move out one powerful NPC after another to protect you in the game-"

"Isn't it that you guys help me out there, and I know what you do." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "As for Violet, she and I are not a master-apprentice relationship in the full sense, my skills are too far behind, you see this enchantment, I can't manipulate it, I can only crawl over from the ruins next to me......"

"Violet?"

patted the other party's shoulder and repeated the name, and Jian Beidong's expression also turned from the beginning of hard thinking and meditation into a trance: "Wait a minute, is it Violet from the Frey Empire?" She's not, she's not ......"

"I know, it's rumored that she's dead now—"

"Isn't she a big beauty?"

Exhaled a surprising and inexplicable word, Jian Beidong laughed and hugged Duan Qing's body: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Isn't it a good brother? If it's a good brother, quickly introduce it to me, when Lao Tzu was in the empire, he looked at Lola's young face every day and was about to vomit blood-ouch. ”

"It's a good thing for me that my old friend's temperament hasn't changed, but your reaction is a little too conspicuous." Looking at the scene of the naked swordsman being slapped on the head by the black-faced whisperer, Duan Qing couldn't help but show a wry smile: "And ...... Has the relationship between the two of you changed for the better? ”

"Oh, she's jealous—uh."

Rolling his eyes, Jian Beidong, who raised his head, then also showed an expression of the success of his conspiracy after his calculations: "That's right! Our relationship has really changed for the better! ”

"I'm a little sorry for my brother, but you know I've always had little resistance to mature women." Pointing to his chest with a smile, Jian Beidong then also squeezed his eyebrows at Duan Qing and announced: "Counting it, Yu Yan has also become a mature woman, it is just a perfect fit for me!" Just hug your beautiful tutor and play with your beautiful companion! It has nothing to do with either of us! ”

“…… Oh? ”

As if he was a little surprised by this statement in front of him, Duan Qing raised his eyebrows and looked back and forth at the two people in front of him, while Jian Beidong, who was supported by his hands, also puffed up his chest with a big grin, completely ignoring the increasingly unbearable laughter and the murderous aura that vaguely emanated from his side: "What are you doing?" Not convinced? I don't believe you look at her now, do you see that she was excited after seeing you? She doesn't even dare to shake your hand right now—oops! ”

"Take it!"

A flying kick full of resentment then sent away the swordsman player who was still nodding his nose on his toes, followed by a whisper who threw the Huayan long sword in his hand in that direction and shouted angrily, and then she couldn't bear it anymore, and then with irrepressible tears and smiles, she flew into the arms of the defenseless Duan Qing.

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

"The wind here doesn't seem to be as strong as the wind on the prairie before, is that my delusion?"

"It's just that we're floating in the sky right now, and we've been facing a strong wind in the sky, and compared to the wind elemental energy caused by the leylines on the Wind Continent, this level of natural wind is still very easy to bear."

"Didn't that mentor of yours have the idea of establishing a windproof barrier? It's like Castle in the Sky. ”

"Don't look at my mentor's high level of magic, she really doesn't look down on the Mage Council in her bones, and she definitely won't imitate the Mage Council's practices, even if it's the city and technology they later occupy."

The chaos caused by the outburst of emotions gradually subsided after a burst of chickens and dogs, and the scene that belonged to Duan Qing led in front also extended along the side of the tower group along the side of the tower group along with the dialogue and exchange between several people, and the figures who hugged each other did not show the slightest sign of separation in the process, and even the voices that explained their respective situations seemed low and tactful: "I will introduce you to her in a while, and by the way, see if I can get you some more favorable treatment." ”

"No, I only have one condition, and that is to live with you."

"This, this...... I don't know if there are enough resources here, after all, the Su and Wabu combined are already a lot, and those from the Lufin Chamber of Commerce-"

"Hmph, can these be counted as reasons and excuses?"

In the inseparable snickering of Ning Lan, the blue-haired female swordsman suddenly pushed Duan Qing's hand away, she stared at the slightly cramped other party with resentful eyes for a long time, and finally showed her usual elegant and confident smile again: "You don't really believe Jian Beidong's nonsense, think I've given up, right?" ”

"Although you and I know each other's personalities, but—have you been living a little too nourishing lately?"

She looked at the long-awaited white-haired figure that gradually appeared in front of the ruins, and reminded softly in a meaningful tone.
