"Conscription?"

"That's right. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

In the elegantly decorated living room, Pamir was having a final conversation with Duan Qing: "The soldiers of the principality are seriously understaffed, and the soldiers of the principality are ...... In terms of strength, it is indeed difficult to match the empire. ”

"Soldiers from all regions, can't they be used?" Inexplicably thinking of Kidd's group, Duan Qing hesitated and said, "Their combat power should be okay......"

"All parts of the principality have their own standing forces." Pamir thought he was referring to the guards of Windflower Town: "But...... In a sense, they are all local private soldiers. ”

"And many of the nobility of the principality have maintained these treasures of theirs to an outrageous degree."

"Hey, that's conceivable." Duan Qing touched his nose and said, "Every fantasy background game...... Oh no, I mean...... Everyone else is about to hit the head, can they still bear it? ”

"As long as it doesn't hit them in the head."

The speaker's tone was full of helplessness, a sense of powerlessness that tried everything to no avail: "In the beginning, the nobles insisted on keeping the 'dregs' of the empire out of order to maintain the dignity of the principality, but when Koska and Ferron fell one after another, they were divided. Many of them began to seek the path of peace, hoping that through their efforts, the war would be stopped. ”

"For the sake of peace in the free world, both sides should put aside their dignity and gaps...... Hmph, what a joke, they're just worried about their own interests. If the big frame of the principality can't hold up, then the iron hooves of the empire will eventually step on their heads. ”

"If they had already realized this......

"The people of the common people have always had this kind of awareness, but it's a pity...... Late. Pamir said regretfully: "Actually...... Since the battle of Fars Fortress, the road to peace has been largely blocked. ”

"Because of the dignity of the Empire?"

"Because of the dignity of the empire."

Pamir nodded: "They haven't done it yet, probably because they are also judging the attitude of the Council of Teachers, and they don't want that incident to happen again." However, the new army, which had been pressed to the front of the fortress not long ago, was ...... An attack could be launched at any time. ”

In the increasingly dim living room, Duan Qing became a little silent, and the speaker looked at his face, then walked around the table and walked to his side: "So, I need a force, an external force from other places, to be able to break this situation."

"What are you talking about...... Are we adventurers? ”

"Any power is fine, but ...... If things go well, I'll issue a joint statement with Felistone calling adventurers to Fars Fortress. Pamir patted Duan Qing on the shoulder: "The reward is good, I hope that adventurers, including you, will participate."

"I'm at Cornelly, and I seem to have heard something similar......"

"Of course they know - this decision is undoubtedly beneficial to the common people." The speaker nodded slightly: "And this ...... That's probably why Tasker and they had a banquet today. ”

"They're not going to let things go like that." Pamir blinked.

"So...... That's what we're experiencing today? Duan Qing pinched his brows: "It's also your so-called big move?"

"Now that the war is looming, I have to make a choice." "As you said before, I am the speaker of the parliament of the principality, and it is my responsibility," Pamir said.

"What will you choose, adventurer of the Duchy?"

"As far as I know, adventurers have no nationality." Duan Qing shook his head meaninglessly: "But forget it."

"Answer me one more question, and I'll think about it."

Looking at the speaker who was about to leave with his subordinates, Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "...... this war?"

"What is the cause of the outbreak?"

"This ......"

The speaker looked up at the ceiling, but Duan Qing knew that it was his habitual action when he recalled: "You shouldn't ask me this question."

"Ask our esteemed Council of Mages...... Maybe it would be better. ”

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

For the next period of time, life in the Fool Adventure Group became calmer.

The aristocratic Tasker didn't bother them anymore, and the players who had watched the events of that day didn't come over to ask this or that again. Everything around the adventure group seems to have entered the proper form, and this is also the most normal time since Duan Qing entered the game.

The so-called normality is actually the days when tasks were constantly completed just like the time in Fenghua Town.

Tania's Adventurers' Guild, both in terms of environment and scale, is worlds apart from the two-story building in Wind Flower Town, so the commission that can be received here is naturally much taller. At least in the eyes of the player, these things can be called quests, and they feel better to do than other places - except for a few high-ranking councillors and other people, the average ordinary resident still has a lot of respect for the adventurer industry, and pays more generously than other places. However, in the eyes of the player, in addition to feeling more humanistic care, the rest is probably a concept like this-

"High-level maps, just good!"

Looking at his slowly growing experience, Duan Qing put down the burden in his hand, and then handed it to the aunt in front of him: "This is what you ordered."

"Ah, it's finally here! Thank you. ”

"You're welcome, next time remember to entrust us with the Fool Adventure Party."

There are still only three of them in the adventure group, and in addition to the fact that Mengzhu can't recruit the players they want to come, the main reason is that they are busy running for their own survival. Although the small number of adventure groups is basically in a state of "one person is full, the whole family is not hungry", but according to the little girl's insistence, they still honestly pressed the panel in the hall of the adventurer's association, and did one task after another.

"This is the primitive accumulation of capital, do you understand?" When Meng Zhu announced this sentence in a matter-of-fact manner, Duan Qing and Xiao Hongchen patted their foreheads left and right with a helpless expression: "Aren't you just trying to make money......

"What, have an opinion?"

"No, no, absolutely nothing...... Let's go! It's been another busy day, ahahaha......"

Gathering items, transporting supplies, crafting materials, and being asked for - every commission from the Tania Adventurers Guild, while seemingly mundane, is actually challenging. Take the first collection task that Duan Qing received, the task issued by the client was actually the horn of the Daken Mountain yak. At that time, Duan Qing had to travel for half a day to reach the foot of the Daken Mountain, which was located in the northeast of Tania, not to mention the sad history of fighting for several hours with those monsters that were not at all the size of ordinary bison. The shopkeeper who finally sent out the commission picked out one or two pairs of horns that satisfied him from the dozen pairs of horns that Duan Qing had cut back, and his expression almost made him vomit blood.

"Next time you go, remember to bring that knife of mine, you can see that these places you cut are broken......"

"Yes, yes, ......"

Similar things happen almost every time, among which Xiao Hongchen left the most tails, making the little girl have to clean up the aftermath for him every day, and she really experienced the taste of being in charge. In the end, the Fool Adventure Party had to hold a three-person meeting to make a comprehensive plan for the future adventure mission.

"For those commissioned production tasks, you will calculate the cost when you take them, okay? What we won't do, what do you do next? It's not like you have to go to the handicraft street and throw that little bit of money into the cost...... Look where to laugh at Hongchen! That's you! ”

"Okay, okay, I'll only take over the work of the guard in the future, okay?"

"Yesterday's routine magic test work was snatched away by the people of the Black Cloud Alliance."

"Well, it's a studio, and it's the home turf, so if you can't grab it, forget it. It's a pity that those gems can be used to set them......"

"How did I hear that those materials were leftovers from the Mage Council......"

"They must have put it out on purpose! So that the rest of us don't have to stare at what's in their mouths...... Hey, uncle, next time I have a chance to meet Sister Christine, would you like to ask her for two gems? I'm angry with them......"

"You think it's Chinese cabbage! You can come here casually? Also, don't lose the relationship that you have built up so hard......"

"Well, forget it, I'm afraid that they will come and grab it directly if they have red eyes...... I'll look at the next item, the next item...... Ah, by the way, that café on Yaer Street wants to talk to us about business! They said they wanted us to be in charge of the collection of raw materials......"

Since the Speaker spent the afternoon there, the business of the Blue Island Coffee Shop has been much more lively than ever, and among the customers who come and go, there are many NPCs, including nobles and dignitaries. This made Mengzhu sigh that the other party had encountered a good opportunity, and at the same time, it also made her see the dawn of making money from NPCs. However, if she asked about the conversation between Duan Qing and the speaker that day, Duan Qing always revealed it lightly: "Don't ask about the war."

"Hey! Who is the head of the regiment? No, who's a child......"

"Oh, you'll know sooner or later, Felistone should have released the news as well......"

The figure of Felistone has been rare to see since that day, and according to players familiar with the matter, the president of the association seems to be busy with something. However, Duan Qing still met the top person in charge of the adventurer association in a commission one day. It was a procurement task entrusted in the name of the Adventurers' Association, and when Duan Qing went to hand it over, he was seen in his office - a tall and thin man with piles of documents in his hands, even when calculating and thinking, he still maintained an aristocratic demeanor.

"Go to the front counter and claim your reward." The man looked at Duan Qing's report, nodded without raising his head, and said, "Recently, the association's resources have been tight, so the remuneration may be a little small, please don't mind."

"Grow up."

Duan Qing bowed slowly, and then asked softly, "I have a question, I don't know if you can answer it."

"Oh?"

Felistone glanced up at the other party, and then continued his work: "If it's about the strategy of the principality, you'd better ask the Pamirs directly."

"That day...... The adventurer you brought, I remember is called Hongshan Lao Dao......" Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "Do you know him?"

Felistone raised his head again, but this time, his gaze stayed on Duan Qing's body for a longer time: "What? Dissatisfied? ”

“……”

Faced with such an answer, Shi Shi Qing didn't know what to say for a while. However, he collected his thoughts a little, and then asked again, "That person was looking for you at that time...... So what? ”

There was more confusion in Felistone's eyes. The next moment, he leaned back and thought about it a little carefully: "That Hongshan old way...... At that time, I wanted to introduce me. ”

"He said he wanted to join your party."

Looking at Duan Qing's face, Felistone asked, "Is there any more questions?"

"No, no."

Duan Qing exited the neat and elegant room, then stood at the door of the hall and exhaled a long breath: "Sure enough, ......"

His thinking stopped.

The originally wandering gaze was slowly drawn to the side of the street, where a player in golden armor was standing, also looking at this side with blazing eyes: "You are ...... That Mo is on the green mountain, right? ”

"You ......"

"I am Grayson, the leader of the Sword of Justice."

The golden-armored man stepped forward unconsciously, and then stretched out his hand: "This is the first time we have met, right?" Nice to see you. ”

"It's a bit of a paladin." Duan Qing shook his head and smiled: "It's a pity, there is no such profession in this game. ”

He also stretched out his hand: "You are the president of this session of the Sword of Justice?" ”

"It's rumored that you're a pro, and that's right." Grayson still looked at Duan Qing, and shook his right hand up and down twice: "It's a pity that I didn't go to the rivers and lakes earlier to ask about the situation......

"You went to the rivers and lakes? Where is the Wind Breaker? Duan Qing squinted his eyes and smiled, "I can guarantee that he didn't tell you the truth." ”

"Really? Perhaps. Grayson hesitated for a moment, and then said with a nonsensical expression: "I've always trusted people so easily, and there's no way around it." ”

"Haha, that's a lot like the philosophy of your guild."

"Would you like to talk in a different place?"

"No need, I have limited time, and I will have to help clear the monster in the southern suburbs later......" Looking at the other party's disbelieving eyes, Duan Qing coughed his throat: "That...... Our guild is also going to eat. ”

"Hahahaha!"

The man, who was half a head taller than Duan Qing, laughed and patted Duan Qing on the shoulder: "It's a bit miserable, boy, how sad it would be if that guy from Chestnut heard it......"

"Who's the chestnut?"

"Oh, and I almost forgot about it." Grayson withdrew his large hand, and then looked at Duan Qing with the same eyes as before.

"Chestnut asks you a word - what are the so-called sword eight, sword thirteen and sword twenty-seven?"
