"If you hadn't reminded me of this...... I've forgotten you exist. ”

Brother Qingshan laughed, count it out...... We haven't seen each other in a long time. ”

In the city of freedom, the Vixis Tavern, the players who were about to fight together are now sitting in the same hall at this time, drinking the wine in their glasses together: "Now think about it...... It seems like a few months have passed since I ran out of the novice village......"

"I remember you claimed to be a bastard, right?"

Looking at the inch hairstyle that the other party was quite familiar with, Duan Qing rubbed his arm and replied, "I didn't expect it to be true?" ”

"Our eldest brother was originally a big brother, and those of us who are younger brothers are ...... Originally, I just came to him. ”

Scratching the back of his head a little innocently, the player sitting across the table pointed around: "When I found this place, my eldest brother was already very well mixed, and many places, including this tavern, are Pie's territory, so I'm just an ordinary gang member......"

"Ordinary gang members?" Duan Qing's eyes rolled upward: "When you rushed into the broken house just now, I remember that you seemed to be very arrogant?" Later, when you told everyone to stop, they were all very obedient......"

"Uh...... Thanks to the care of the eldest brother, it is just a few names. ”

Looking at the three of Teacher Zhou Xue who were fighting with other gang members in the corner, the player's voice relaxed a little: "My skills in the game are actually not very good, especially compared to you guys......, Brother Qingshan."

"Hey, let's stop here for the routine blow-up, it's almost time to introduce us."

Without waiting for Duan Qing to continue speaking, the whisper who was sitting next to him suddenly interjected and asked, "This is called Liu Qingniu...... Who are you? ”

"Don't say that I know a bunch of fox friends and dog friends, isn't it wrong to have a wide range of friends?" Duan Qing waved his hand disdainfully, and then pointed to the place where he was sitting in the slightly honest expression of the player opposite: "He is a friend I met in Greenstone Village, and he went to the Emerald Forest together to do a mission......"

"Emerald Forest? The time you climbed the Emerald Tower? The blue-haired woman's eyebrows raised slightly unexpectedly: "It's really fake, it's just this level of team...... Can you go to the deepest part of the world? ”

“…… If you don't believe me, I can testify. Xue Ling, who was sitting on the other side and kept silent, smiled inexplicably, and at the same time put down the wine glass held in front of him: "Because...... I was also part of the team at the time. ”

“…… Hum. ”

"What, don't believe it? If you don't believe me, you can ask your head of the group, she is also one of the parties. ”

"Okay, okay, don't worry about these things."

Seeing the confrontation between the two sides, Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hand to stop the topic: "The two old acquaintances present didn't recognize each other in the end, this is not a commendable thing......

"Maybe I've changed a little too much."

As if he wanted to expose the previous conflict that happened in the uninhabited neighborhood, Liu Qingniu also scratched his head and responded: "But...... Brother Qingshan has also changed a lot, both weapons and armor have changed a lot, and Sister Xue has also ...... Uh, Sister Xue is still dressed like this? ”

"This guy has been wearing this cloak since we met in the Emerald Forest."

Ignoring the cold light coming from the side, Duan Qing pointed to the hood on the head of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice: "I don't know what she thinks, she always likes to cover her face...... Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it, anyway, you have an ID on your head, and anyone can recognize you......"

"Snow Spirit Phantom Ice is the runner-up in the team competition of this year's League Cup."

The maid player standing behind Duan Qing quietly dodged the two figures who were pushing and shoving past the wine table, and then smiled and pointed to the top of the woman's head on the right: "Haven't you paid attention to her?" ”

"Uh...... Those of us don't usually pay much attention to those things. ”

In the action of the woman in the black cloak lowering her head again, Liu Qingniu waved her hand helplessly: "We came here to play, just to follow the eldest brother, usually we will go wherever the eldest brother tells us to go, and we will cut whoever we are told to cut, like the competition, we are not very interested......

"What a dedicated bastard." So Duan Qing sighed and said, "It's so tiring to play a game......"

"No, no, big brother didn't stop us from watching the game." The player sitting opposite suddenly shook his head: "Not only that, but the eldest brother also went to participate in the competition, although he didn't say let us cheer for him, but we have been paying attention to the eldest brother, but then the eldest brother was eliminated, and we didn't continue to watch ......"

"Huh? And such a thing? Duan Qing asked in surprise, "Who is your eldest brother?" ”

"Our eldest brother's name is Lu Bench."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingniu's expression suddenly became excited, and there was a certain light of worship in his eyes: "Known as the Dragon of Jingdong, the man who rules the inner city of the City of Freedom!" He made it all the way to the quarterfinals, killing an unknown number of pros......"

"Stop, stop, stop, I don't need you to introduce me."

Hurriedly making a pause gesture, Duan Qing glanced at each other with a slightly surprised whisper: "Jingdong Dragon Lu Bench? That tough guy? What do you mean to say...... The boss of your Dongcheng Club is Bench Lu? ”

"Yes, yes." Liu Qingniu's eyes were full of innocence: "What's the matter, is there any problem?" ”

"No, nothing ......"

Getting an equally surprised look from the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice on the other side, Duan Qing took a deep breath: "He...... Isn't he your boss, why did he suddenly remember to go to the competition? ”

"Uh...... It was as if someone had described the game to him. Liu Qingniu hesitated and recalled for a while: "I heard that ......"

"There are a lot of experts in there, so he wants to see them."

"Hmm...... Sounds reasonable. ”

Holding the wine glass in front of him, Duan Qing pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a wry smile, and then while sipping the wine in the glass, he looked around at the others who were drinking and fighting in the tavern: "Judging from the fact that your guild is so belligerent, this is indeed very much in line with his image......"

"If I'm not mistaken...... He was also eliminated by the Rage Maniac in the end, right? Yu Liuyu also whispered: "The team competition also met the second person in the world, and the guilds of the two same cities ......"

"Hasn't your boss reacted lately?" Duan Qing pointed to the surrounding members of the Dongcheng Society: "For example, revenge on the second in the world...... or something."

"Well...... I didn't pay attention. ”

Liu Qingniu scratched his head again: "Anyway, where the eldest brother tells us to go, we will go......"

"Alas...... I know why you're the backbone. ”

Looking at the ceiling and sighing, Duan Qing concluded helplessly: "But this is also a good thing, if it weren't for you...... We might be out of luck tonight. ”

"We didn't mean to find fault either." The young player looked in the direction of the person at Mr. Zhou's table: "This may just be a misunderstanding......

"Your guild ...... Did you really lose something? ”

"yes, we've been losing loot lately that we've shipped to the city."

Speaking of this, Liu Qingniu's face suddenly became serious: "At first, we thought it was done by the Red Lotus Gang who were working against us, but later we found out that they were also throwing things, and it was a mysterious case that could not be found...... Although we were suspicious of each other, and we fought when we met, but as time passed, our eyes naturally gradually fell to more places. ”

"Old Zhou, they ...... Is that the object of your suspicion? ”

"It's probably a coincidence." Liu Qingniu grabbed his head and replied, "Since there is Brother Qingshan as a guarantor, then temporarily believe that those packages are their own......

"Hey, you're too easy to trust people, even though those things were really the ones we brought back together a few years ago......"

"Those who are mixed up on the road, of course, must believe in their brothers." Liu Qingniu patted his chest: "Otherwise...... How are we going to get mixed up in the underworld? ”

“……”

Duan Qing didn't answer immediately, but looked at the other party fixedly for a while, and finally lowered his head silently in the wine glass that was gradually raised: "Young man...... Let's not talk about it, since you let us go, we will naturally record this kindness of the East City Society......"

"Tell me how you found your big brother." He casually observed the layout of this tavern: "And ...... How did you get to where you are now? ”

"That's ...... to say."

"Brother Qingniu!"

A hurried shout suddenly sounded outside the door of the tavern, interrupting what Liu Qingniu was about to say just now, and then with the sound of running footsteps, he came to the front of several people: "Brother Qingniu, the eldest brother has spoken......

“…… Yes? ”

"That, I know Brother Qingniu is unhappy, but ......"

"I'm fine, but they've all been asked back by me! The identities of these people, my Brother Qingniu can guarantee ......"

"But ......"

"You go talk to the eldest brother...... Forget it, I'll go tell my eldest brother in person. ”

Standing up with a serious expression, Liu Qingniu arched his hand in the direction where Duan Qing was, and then walked towards the depths of the Vixis Tavern with a hurried pace. As if aware of the problem, several players who were looking at each other shook their heads secretly, and as time passed, the noise from behind them gradually reached their ears with the echo of the tavern: "What a good fight tonight!" Labor and management cut at least a dozen people......"

"Labor and management also cut more than a dozen, but they didn't survive in the end......"

"Hahahaha! In the end, I don't know who cuts whom, just cut it according to the person! ”

"yes, yes, it's been a long time since I've been this cool...... By the way, what did we start fighting in the first place? ”

"Uh...... It's not like the War of the Thrones of the House of Rondaul or anything like that......"

"Whatever! We'll just hit ours! Hahahaha! ”

"Hahahaha!"

They are all people who run into the game world to vent......

Looking at his teammates beside him expressionlessly, Duan Qing let out a long sigh, but another hurried footstep ran to Duan Qing's opposite with a big grin before a maid player could stop him: "Are you Mo Shang Qingshan?" ”

"Our boss told you to go up."

He pointed to the corner of the tavern, motioned for Duan Qing and the others to follow him, and then came to a certain staircase leading to the second floor amid the endless boasting and shouting in the tavern. The wall, which was different from the previous style, slowly appeared in front of everyone, and with a few lines of vision that had been secretly watching, it turned around the dark corners in unison, and then gradually separated the noise belonging to the downstairs as they ascended the stairs: "...... This is it, let's go inside. ”

"Thank you."

Nodding to the guy leading the way, Duan Qing naturally pushed open the door, and then the noise in the tavern completely disappeared in his ears, and he walked into a large room. The luxurious décor and furnishings were fully reflected in front of them with their appearance, the sofas draped in animal skins and the dull gold wooden furniture also reflected the mesmerizing colors in the soft magic light, and the night sky above the city was shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the whole street, but the man who was standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back seemed to pay no attention to the meaning of the scene: "...... Hello. ”

“…… Oh hello. ”

Glancing at Liu Qingniu, who was standing in the corner without saying a word, Duan Qing replied a little slowly, and at the same time took two steps forward, letting several companions behind him into the room: "Fortunately, we ......"

"I'm Bench Lu, the owner of the East City Club."

Slowly turning around, the man who looked to be two meters tall put his eyes on Duan Qing's body: "You are the brothers in Ah Niu's mouth?" ”

"Uh...... If he says so, then yes. ”

Duan Qing replied indifferently, "Since the time the novice village came out...... We've got to know each other. ”

"What are you here for?"

“…… Are people so straightforward when they inquire about the news now? We're not some illegal immigrants......"

"Then I'll change the question."

Glancing deeply at the figure of the whispering man, Bench Lu's face gradually darkened: "You guys...... What is the relationship with the second in the world? ”

"Uh......"

"The woman behind you...... It has a deep connection with that guild. ”

Pointing to the woman beside Duan Qing with one hand, the tough guy man said in a serious voice: "Although I have been away from here for a long time, this woman's name is still very loud here......

"You came back with these people...... Are you here to join the Angry Maniac? ”

“…… Ha, that's funny. ”

The atmosphere froze for a moment with the temporary silence, and then loosened again with Duan Qing's smile: "This is the best joke I've heard in a while. ”

"Let's not say that the angry madman doesn't know us...... Even if we're here to run for the second best in the world, what can you do? ”

"If that's really ......"

In front of the wide and bright floor-to-ceiling window, the straight-faced Lu bench pinched each other's hands twice, and then a fierce smile appeared in the sound of the bones of the Karakala: "I have a small request." ”

"How about a fight with me?"
