"Wow, finally saved! I thought I was going to be miserable in this wilderness, and I didn't even have the qualifications to become a soup chicken......"

"This is the Talon Plains, not a wilderness, no matter how bad it is, you can still do it when you go to Tania."

"Ahahahaha, I'm just a businessman, my combat power and physical strength are very weak, not to mention the negative effects of physical strength attached to this heavy rain, it's simply the most powerful blow to a businessman like me...... Ay? And a young lady? Or a maid? ”

“…… So you'd better move faster, or I'm going to blast you out like a pig." ”

The public carriage to Tania then shook a little, accompanied by a scene where a player who had taken off his long-distance run and wrung the water in front of Duan Qing was almost blasted out, and he stumbled and struggled for a while while while grabbing the door panel, and finally managed to retract his head from the heavy rain: "Sorry! I'll wrap up right away! Please stop! Stop it! Don't push me anymore! ”

"It looks like it's still a bit of strength." So Duan Qing withdrew his arms expressionlessly: "The appearance of the carriage just now also has a bit of a guerrilla feeling. ”

"After all, I have to carry a lot of goods every day, hahahaha."

Pointing to a huge package that had just been thrown into the carriage by himself, the player who had finally struggled back from the edge of the carriage let out a few helpless dry laughs: "The player's carrying weight is limited, let alone a person with low strength like me, in order to do business, I can only carry this big package back and forth around every day......"

"Even so, the total amount of players carrying will not change."

Waving his hand to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing's gaze that fell on the other party was still full of suspicion: "Since your physical fitness is relatively poor, you should not be able to carry such a huge package——"

"That's because there's magic on it."

With a smug smile on his face, the merchant player who pulled a piece of canvas on himself reached out and pointed to the location of the package: "Levitation, reinforcement, and gravity floatation in high-level earth magic...... I paid a lot of money to buy this package. ”

"Well, I see." After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Duan Qing nodded his head with a slight hesitation: "Is it the magic enchanted on the package for the convenience of handling?" It's a very effective tool......"

"Never underestimate our creativity!" The player gave Duan Qing and the secret whisper Ning Lan a thumbs up: "Of course, I can't compare with those big businessmen, their packages are usually space bags, just like the eight treasure bags and other things that often appeared in movies and television movies in the past......"

It turns out that there is still that kind of thing.

Letting out a lament in his heart about his backwardness, Duan Qing then retracted his gaze: "Thank you for your answer, it seems that I am lonely and unheard." But...... We have our next question. ”

"How did you end up here, Brother Windswept Wheat Lang?"

He looked at the name above the player's head who claimed to be a merchant, and then asked in a calm voice, still wiping the windblown wheat waves above his head with a wrapped canvas, and then stopped his movements slightly, and then his surprised expression appeared through the gap in the cloth: "Huh? How did it get here? Walking up here, of course - oh. ”

"I am a merchant who travels between the capital of the principality and the county of Ferron." seemed to understand the meaning of the other party's question, and he immediately issued a simple salute gesture on his wet head: "To put it simply, it is to be a fallen master and do business on the material difference between the two sides." ”

"Fort Fars has fallen, and Ferron County has not fought for a long time." Duan Qing touched his nose: "There is also a business to do in this way?" ”

"Of course, don't you see the current situation?" Feng Feng Mai Lang smugly pointed in the direction of Taran Village: "The Duchy is negotiating with the Empire, and the relationship between the two sides is already very tense, if we are not careful, we-we will make a fortune!" ”

"I see, it's hard to make a fortune." Duan Qing let out a sneer: "No wonder I was thrown on the way." ”

"Say, what do you say?" The wind blew Mai Lang and immediately straightened his neck: "I didn't get kicked out of the car!" I got off the car myself! Get out of the car yourself! ”

"You jumped out of the car yourself?" Duan Qing looked at the outline of the village looming under the rain curtain in the southwest direction: "Aren't you going to Talan Village?" ”

"I, I was going to go back to Fars Fortress." The wind blew the wheat waves' expression and then became lost again: "But I suddenly remembered something and forgot to do it, so I got off the car halfway, and the coachman of the carriage didn't object to anything, but didn't even give me anything to shelter from the rain......"

"So you're still going back to Tania now, right?"

After glancing at each other with the secret whisper Ning Lan who was sitting opposite, Duan Qing then shouted forward, "This is a bad behavior of fare evasion halfway...... Mr. Driver, is there no problem even so? ”

"It's okay, this gentleman is our regular guest." The driver's voice then came from the front of the carriage: "Wait until you get to Tania, and then let him make up the ticket." ”

"Haha, hahahaha." So the merchant player scratched his head and let out a few dry laughs: "So, so I said don't worry, I will pay my money myself, you don't have to worry about what trouble I will bring you, after all, the most important thing in our merchant industry is to talk about credibility ......"

His gaze gradually withdrew from the chattering player, Duan Qing lamented and moved his body from the merchant's body to the other side, he looked at the guy in front of him who was constantly wiping his body and sneezing twice from time to time, and his voice seemed to be talking to himself: "What is your judgment?" ”

“…… It's an ordinary gamer. Then came the voice of Ning Lan, a secret whisper: "Except for the wrist strength that may be a little strong, the rest of the physical fitness is at the level of ordinary people." ”

"It's different from what I know." Duan Qing touched his nose and lowered his head: "According to my impression of this guy, he should at least be a high-level thief player." ”

"Did you ever know him, sir?" Secret whisper Ning Lan replied quietly: "Sure enough, Ning Lan has lost her eyes, although if it is a thief profession, everyone will have some ability to hide their strength and identity——"

"Are you talking about someone who likes to disguise himself?" Looking up at the rain curtain outside the window, Duan Qing let out his own sigh: "After experiencing sacrifice, amnesia, and almost being betrayed again, it is difficult to guess what kind of temperament she is now, as we get closer and closer to Tania, we have no way of knowing the mood of this former Queen of the Night......"

"Don't worry, sir, she'll adjust herself." Whisper Ning Lan said in a low voice: "People who walk in the darkness will become extremely strong, Ning Lan also believes that Miss Maggie will definitely be able to get out of this sadness with her own strength." ”

"When she said she wanted us to take her in, I thought there would be such a day." Duan Qing shook his head and pulled the corners of his mouth: "I also tried not to interfere with the actions of Her Excellency the Queen, and the usual arrangements were also made by her own temperament, but ......"

"After all this stuff going through, I don't know if it's the right thing to do." His gaze tilted in the direction of the wall that became clearer behind the rain curtain: "Violet has the strength and confidence to escape this sea of suffering, and she-"

"Whether she has such strength or not, it's still uncertain."

The rickety carriage then swayed awkward through the dim rain curtain before it slowly drove through countless muddy puddles to the southern gate of Tania, where the familiar streamlined walls of the city were then gradually cleared by the rain curtain, and the eyes of every passer-by passing through it shone brightly different from the gloomy sky. His gaze stayed at the location of the light for a long time, and Duan Qing, who had realized something, then glanced at the humble guild stations that kept passing by him, and then he jumped out of the carriage with the help of the secret whisper Ning Lan, and then turned back to the wind blowing wheat waves that he had secretly paid attention to all the way, and whispered, "Then let's say goodbye here." ”

"Huh? Ah, okay, okay. His expression was slightly stunned, and Feng Mai Lang, who had already converted the canvas into a cloak, then replied with a smile: "Thank you for your help, Brother Linyuan Broken Water." ”

"We didn't help you." After shaking hands with the other party, Duan Qing replied in a calm voice, "Remember to give the money to the coachman, and then thank him well." ”

"No, no, no, no, your help to me is also very important." Tightening the package behind him tightly, Feng Mai Lang, who grabbed the strap with both hands, replied with a smile: "And as a businessman, it has long been our habit to make friends. ”

"If anything happens in the future, remember to report my name." He waved his hand, and then walked in the direction of the city gate: "I, the 'scrap copper' wind blows the wheat waves, and I will definitely help!" ”

“…… Scrap copper? ”

His eyes stopped for a while on the back of the merchant carrying the package, and Duan Qing, who was muttering to himself, suddenly reacted: "Is it one of the members of the 'Four Wastes' tavern?" ”

"The numbers of the names look similar." The secret whisper that covered her mouth, Ning Lan replied with a smile: "He is also one of the people you knew when you were in the battlefield dungeon?" ”

"No, I met him in Free City." Duan Qing, whose eyes were still in front of him, then pinched his chin and whispered, "But...... Well, I see. ”

"He's gone to the Duchy to be a merchant." He let out a sigh and glanced in the direction of the east, "Speaking of which, the Fool should have a branch over there, and I don't know how they are doing now......"

The steps that wanted to move forward were then stopped by the two spears in front of him, and he was intercepted by the Duchy guards guarding the city gate in the name of interrogation, and he had already prepared the proof and rhetoric, and then it took him a while to complete the work of passing, and the idea of following the merchant player was finally killed because of this moment's delay. It seemed that there was some special factor interfering, and the rain falling from the canopy became much smaller after they entered the city, and the trickling water gradually converged under the guidance of stone slabs and ditches, and finally converged towards the location of a central square in front of the street that Duan Qing was familiar with: "It seems that there is really magic protecting it." ”

"Are you referring to the previous walls?"

"You should have noticed that the entire city of Tania probably has remnants of ancient magic in it, and the entire city on the lower ground did not suffer from floods or other attacks in the end, most of which is due to these magical projects in front of us."

"I've heard that Tania is a city left over from an ancient race, and that it uses a lot of technology that modern magic can't explain...... Gentlemen who weren't magicians couldn't have noticed it before, but now they must be very interested in it, right? ”

"The people of the Mage Council should have the most say on this."

Walking through the city following the passing crowds, Duan Qing's eyes roamed back and forth on the familiar city streetscapes: "They have been in this city long enough, even Wiggins has been living here in seclusion as the director of the library, Tania has been able to survive countless wars and conflicts to this day, and the existence of these great magicians can be regarded as a great contribution." ”

"I heard that in the last battle of Tania, four members of the Council of Seven showed up here." Ning Lan replied with a smile, "The role played by our people may have been deliberately ignored by the historical records of the principality. ”

"No, those names will be remembered."

Shaking his head deeply, Duan Qing's gaze on the streets began to become more and more frequent: "Whether it's Pamir, Yang, those guys in the council, or Wiesel, Hank, that old man in the underground block...... No one will forget what happened in that battle, and everyone remembers how the principality that should have perished turned its fortune around, including the many guilds and adventurers who tried their best, and everyone's names should be deeply engraved in each other's hearts. ”

"We're just detached from the name itself." Speaking of this, he pointed to the top of his head, and a wry smile of loss appeared on his face: "Because I have lost my past identity, I have become unrecognized by them...... Not. ”

"Here we are."

The footsteps paused slightly, and the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Whispering Ning Lan then stopped in front of a building near Tania Central Street, and countless adventurers were also braving the raindrops at the door of that building at this time, using each other's busyness to cover up the depressed atmosphere caused by the old door panels and broken walls: "Adventurers Association." ”

"Let's start here for our first stop."
