"There's nothing to do with you here, go down. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

The damp, cold, and dark air filled the space with the smell of herbs, and apart from a few muffled coughs in between, all that was left was sometimes light, sometimes heavy, and unspeakably silent. The low ceiling seemed to be right in front of him, and the small structure of the room determined that everyone who lived here could easily look out of the small window next to the bed to overlook the city of Tania in the dark night in the distance, but the person lying here at this time did not seem to be in such a mood at all - after hearing this voice, he raised his head with difficulty, and then covered his mouth with one hand in a painful cough, and curled up into the quilt again.

"What a beautiful city."

The other party's admiration rang in his ears.

"It's a pity...... It's almost over. ”

The night wind grows stronger as the moon rises, and with the arrival of autumn, the shadows of the trees illuminated by the moonlight begin to shake more violently, and then become more and more sparse, but most of the people who live here do not focus on these natural changes, but are more likely to notice the changes from the city - looking south from here, the lights in the city are dim or bright, flickering under everyone's eyes, and the sound of the bustling crowd seems to be within reach, as if in another world, They follow their own rules, and move forward in their own quest in a staggered manner. At night, the city seemed to flow with them, and all kinds of lights spread out into the distance with the progress of their respective destinies, and finally stopped at the edge of the city, by the walls of Tania, and circled the original irregular lights into a perfect circle.

Now, the center of this circle has been gradually extinguished over time, and this momentum has been extended to the rest of the city.

"I know...... You still haven't given up on your destiny. ”

Retracting his gaze from a darkened library in the north of the circle, the man standing in the doorway lowered his head and smiled, then continued, "But...... I'm going to ask you again. ”

"Do you want to say it?"

The man on the bed didn't make any movement, just lay there quietly.

I have to ask this sentence every time it comes, but every time it ...... will all get the same answer. In the face of such silence, the dark shadow at the door laughed lowly: "Waiting for a turnaround? Or rather...... Waiting for a change? Waiting for others to discover something? ”

"It's useless."

The man on the bed coughed violently twice more, then closed his eyes again and lay back quietly.

"I didn't plan to come here today." Seeing that the other party was still silent in protest, the man shook his head and turned around, as if he was planning to leave this place: "In a respectful manner, I will tell you...... Something outside world. ”

"Pamir...... Your proud student almost died at our hands. ”

Huo Ran, the man lying on the bed, opened his eyes.

"Hmph, hehehehe...... What a pity. The man looked back at the bed by the small window and laughed maliciously: "I've been waiting for so long, but I've waited for such news...... Isn't it desperate? I can tell you very clearly......"

"This is just the beginning."

The footsteps faded away as the man left, but his voice still echoed throughout the hut: "You just wait...... The news of the city's ruin. ”

"Good night, have a nightmare."

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

"Has the news arrived?"

“……”

"Hey, forget it, this was originally a gift to the door, so if you fly, you can fly. Remember, the next thing is the most important thing......"

“……”

"Do your own thing, and we will never fail! Okay, we're gone, there's still a game to play in a while, and we've got to prepare a little bit......"

In a military camp on the outskirts of the Imperial border, a man in the newly acquired armor waved his hand away from the others around him, and then stood there and thought for a while: "It didn't work...... Forget it, it's nothing more than two more days to live. ”

"As long as there's nothing flawed in the plan here......"

With some uneasy sighs, the man put aside these trivial matters for a while, and instead lifted up another burden in his heart, and looked into some grove in the suburbs. In the midst of the sneering whistle, a woman with black hair and white armor was standing in the center of the trees with her sword in her hand, waving quickly at the air in front of her: "Drink!"

The sound of breaking the air echoed through the trees, as if the leaves that fell to the ground from time to time because of the shadow of the sword she wielded, flew around with the occasional shout, and then scattered around her in the turbulence, gradually forming an irregular circle. The light shining from the direction of the barracks reduced the people and objects here to a black shadow, and in the intermingling of light and darkness, a huge leaf that had not completely lost its vitality fell in front of the woman, and then the sword that was suddenly withdrawn in the rapid turn of her wrist slashed into two identical halves.

"Hah!"

The scattered air currents took her as the center and roared towards the surrounding of the trees, turning the fallen leaves into a torrential rain and making the light and shadow around her even more blurred. The action that gradually froze fixed the long sword in her hand where it had been cut at the last moment, and she looked at the tip of the sword there, and stood quietly for a while, then put away her weapon, and sat down on the ground, holding the sword in her hand and thinking.

"Don't practice, take a break."

The footsteps of the fallen leaves, from the direction of the barracks gradually approached, the man with a long sword walked into the woods, and then stopped beside her: "I just got so badly injured yesterday......"

"I'm fine."

The woman interrupted the other party's words, and after a while, she slowly responded, "Thank you for your concern."

"Don't be so outward, we're a company after all." The man who heard this sentence was inexplicably happy: "No matter how you say it, it's also a family, and it's normal to care about you."

“……”

The woman who sat on the ground on her knees did not reply, but remained quiet, her long hair scattered and her eyes closed, like a statue of a goddess in a deep sleep. The man in the dark naturally didn't notice her changes, and only thought that it was due to the other party's attitude: "When I first came to the company, I was also taken care of by you, and later fought the world in the same guild, and I can be regarded as a companion who fought together, so asking about your physical condition has almost become a habit of mine...... Aha, it seems to be a lot of words today, don't care, don't care......"

Finding that the other party didn't seem to have the intention of responding, the man quieted down slightly awkwardly, he looked at the other party's back, the fingers of both hands twisted in the air for a while, and finally tentatively walked to the front and slowly sat down beside her: "You...... You've been practicing for a day...... Did something happen? ”

“……”

"Do you see a bottleneck and want to seek a breakthrough?"

“……”

"Is it ......" the man hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Because of that person?"

“……”

The night wind blew her long hair, but the woman still didn't move, just sat quietly.

"If you have any difficulties, you must always ...... with me Let's say it, we are not only your subordinates, but also your cronies, and we want to be able to face the difficulties with you, and then cross them and make this guild better and better, just like those previous game worlds......"

Seeing that the other party didn't react after all, the man had to talk about his content to himself, and sat next to her and chattered. Time passed slowly in this atmosphere, and it was not until the man counted all the histories they had fought together before that he stopped his memories without finishing his thoughts: "...... We have stood tall and experienced so many things, there is no need to fight for these little things...... Little people, it takes too much effort, with the strong strength of you and now, and strong reliance, as long as you work hard, these achievements ...... Aren't they all hand-to-hand? ”

“……”

The quiet woman was still silent, but where the man couldn't see, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I don't know how much you listened to what you just said, but...... You still don't have to work so hard, I feel distressed when I look at it. Looking at the darkening sky, the man slowly stood up: "There is a game tonight, and the team competition will start soon, I don't want you to worry about this...... Never mind. ”

He paused again and again, then shook his head, "I believe in you."

He turned around, as if he wanted to leave the place, but it didn't take long for him to turn around again: "By the way, I recently got a new weapon, and the original long sword is no longer needed, do you want to try it?"

“……”

"Well, if you're silent...... I'll just assume that you agreed? ”

With a hint of joke in his voice, the man walked back slowly, then untied the long sword at his waist and put it beside her: "Don't care, I don't need it anyway, you can rest assured that you can accept it, it's all your own people, and you don't have to worry about so much, right......"

As if he had become a neighbor, the man nagged for a while, and then slowly walked back in the direction of the barracks: "...... Remember to come early, there are not many games left, hmm, where is the meeting point this time......"

The footsteps faded away, and finally disappeared into the grove with the wind. The woman opened her eyes silently, then looked at the long sword beside her, and the focus of her pupils converged for a moment before slowly stabilizing.

"What the hell ......" she looked at the long sword in her hand, "how should it be released?"

The armored fingers hesitated for a moment on the long sword beside her, but the woman finally picked up the long sword left by the man. She checked the attributes of the sword, and then shook her head in the cold light of the sword body that was drawn: "Okay."

She raised her sword and looked around, then slashed it out.

"It's time to get used to it."

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

"It's late! Why did you come back so late! ”

In Tania City, in the Adventurers' Association, Duan Qing, who had just stepped into the room, was greeted with a big index finger: "The game is about to start, and you guys have just come back?"

"Uh...... We went to the library in the north of the city. Looking behind him, looking at the red-haired girl in the room with a little shyness, Duan Qing waved his hand helplessly and explained: "I sorted out the bookshelves for a long time, and I didn't eat until after eight o'clock......

"Library? Is the task of the library that laborious? ”

"It's easy to say...... You'll find out when you go. Duan Qing, who finally returned with the completed task, also had some confidence in his answer: "We will continue tomorrow."

"What? And such a good thing? ”

"A good thing? It's hard to say right now. ”

Duan Qing shook his head in a low voice: "I can see that there is no easy librarian in this world......

"It's the same with NPCs in this world."

The blue-haired woman standing in the corner against the wall stretched out a hand, and an inexplicable smile appeared on her face: "I originally thought that you should have discovered this a long time ago......"

"My consciousness isn't high enough, okay?" Putting on a dejected look, Duan Qing walked to the side of the small table, took the teacup from the maid, and then found a corner and squatted down: "We should also add more seats, otherwise there will be no place to entertain guests in the future...... What about Xiao Hongchen? ”

"I don't know, he hasn't shown up for a day." Mengzhu snorted and said, "Another lazy ...... I blame you. ”

"Hey, how can this be on my head?" Duan Qing hurriedly began to protest: "I haven't seen him for a long time!"

"This guy has been gone since the game last night......"

"Could it be that someone kidnapped him again like he did in Fenghua Town last time?"

"Well, that's what you say...... It seems like it's really possible, huh? So long ......"

"No, it won't." Ning Lan, the secret whisperer in the rear, smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao Hongchen showed up at seven o'clock this morning, and left some commissions......"

"It's just that I don't know where to go crazy." While Duan Qing and Mengzhu were checking the remaining commissions, a mature voice from the blue-haired woman sounded in a low voice: "According to what I know about him...... This person's brain circuitry does not seem to be understandable to ordinary people. ”

"Oh, forget it!"

So Mengzhu shouted and put down the page in his hand: "Let's go first, just leave him a message, if you can't catch up with the game for a while, today's event will be in vain again!"

"Do you like to watch games that much?" Duan Qing said expressionlessly: "Or make money......"

"What kind of money, it's a team activity, do you understand team activities?" "Participating in team activities is conducive to maintaining a harmonious atmosphere and good team relationship between team members, promoting friendship between members of the team, and deepening mutual understanding, so that we can ...... in future team actions," Mengzhu said in a dignified manner.

"Stop, stop, stop-" Duan Qing hurriedly interrupted the other party's words loudly: "Where did you learn this, and you still have a set of ......"

"I found it on the Internet, no, no?" Mengzhu asked a little embarrassedly, then cleared his throat and continued the previous leader's speech: "Anyway! Holding more of these events will deepen the bonds between our party members......"

"Yes......"

Hanging his head and sighing for a long time, Duan Qing held on to the shoulders of the little girl who was holding his waist and sighed in the laughter of the others: "I know that I am wrong, the head of the group, for the sake of the glorious future of the adventure group, let's leave quickly."

"yes, yes, let's go."

A faint light flickered around Mengzhu's body, which was a sign that the little girl was about to go offline: "...... today"

"Maybe there's a team competition!" (To be continued.) )
