The damp old streets, the chaotic and noisy nights, the city lord's mansion surrounded by waterways and moats, and the port with the bridge of miracles stretched - when the city called the City of Freedom began to gradually approach, and the waves and sea breezes around the city were close at hand, these scenes and the meanings they represented began to appear in Duan Qing's mind one after another, awakening the memories of the past he had experienced little by little. Due to the relationship between the name and identity has been completely changed, the names of the city and the people who represent the city naturally have no direct connection with Duan Qing, and even the old man of the city lord, who once pretended to be a merchant and only appeared to contact him at the end of the Molna Star incident, the impression that should have been presented in the depths of his memory seems to have been blurred a lot by the power of time.

But at least those names are still remembered, such as the person who called himself Tianxingjian at this time.

"Skywalker...... After-School Teacher Corps? ”

Groaning and saying such words, Duan Qing's expression on the edge of the river beach also became puzzled: "I remember if your team is not called Aoki?" ”

"That was a long time ago." The long-knife warrior who raised his eyebrows and deliberately distanced himself from Duan Qing's team replied in a low voice: "Because of the conflict with a certain guild, our regiment was finally broken up, and the remnants finally changed their names, and they were called the current after-school teachers' group...... Not. ”

"You guys have such an ancient history of our regiment?" The long-knife warrior pinched his chin and groaned for a moment, and his gaze became clear when he raised his head again: "Even if it is a person in this city, there are not many people who know the black history of a team like ours. ”

"Well, I can't say that." So Duan Qing also scratched the back of his head with a smile: "Not long after our regiment was established, several newcomers in the regiment don't have a very deep understanding of the many docks here. ”

"The reason why I know this remote secret is mainly because I once heard the story of our regiment leader."

He flashed, revealing the figure of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice far behind him for a moment, and Tian Xingjian, who was squinting at the white-haired figure, also frowned, and only after a long time did he say the meaning of the ID that appeared above the figure: "It's her...... Odd. ”

"I've heard a little bit about her lately." As if sensing the cold feeling of the woman's distant appearance, the long-knife warrior gradually put away his frowning brows: "But I haven't heard that she has taken root in the city of freedom." ”

"Our regimental commander has always been careful." Behind pointing a thumbs up to his shoulder, Duan Qing grinned and showed a smile: "Even when I usually go out to do tasks, I make decisions based on things like the weather and the auspicious days of the zodiac, let alone contact with people, hahahaha!" ”

"So what's your mission this time?"

Ignoring Duan Qing's meaningless dry laugh as he scratched his hair, Tian Xingjian gestured to the player teammates behind him, "Are you also here to collect magic armor?" ”

"Magic armor?" Duan Qing's dry laughter paused for a moment: "What's that?" ”

"A lot of new monsters have been popping up around the outskirts of Liberty City lately."

Pointing to the area around the river beach where he was walking, Tian Xingjian's expression became even more weird: "It's all some ancient armor that crawled out of the ground, the kind that only has armor and no people, because it relies on magical power to act, so its life and strength are much stronger than ordinary monsters." ”

"The order around Liberty City has been disturbed by these magic armors that far exceed normal strength, and even players who come out to level up are complaining." He shrugged his shoulders, but his gaze didn't take half a minute off Duan Qing's body: "The City Lord's Mansion also issued a commission order early, and the task of defeating these monsters was handed over to us through the Adventurer Association. ”

"Isn't the Adventurers' Guild in Liberty City actually the Shadow Society?" Duan Qing's eyes widened: "How long have they occupied No. 44 Mandeford Street?" Where are the players running over there looking for quests now? ”

"That was a long time ago." The vigilance in his eyes was obviously less, and Tian Xingjian still shook his head and replied: "They have also recently started to activate this nominal association terminal, and everyone didn't believe it at first, but when the news came out that someone tasted the sweetness, we began to gradually look for activities over there." ”

"It should have been City Lord Reiner's idea."

Pinching his eyebrows and posing as if he was thinking, Duan Qing pouted and muttered, "Most of those guys in the throne thought that the strength of our players could be used, so they began to use us in a different way...... Hmph, what a good calculation. ”

"A pair of magic armor is 10,000 gold coins - who made the price of the family high?" Staring at Duan Qing's gaze slowly moving away, Tian Xingjian shrugged his shoulders: "Although few people have been able to truly receive this bounty until now, there are still countless players who fly over like flies to reincarnate and die." ”

"Are these magic armors really that powerful?" Duan Qing's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Where?" Let's see that too? ”

"It is said that the fluctuations in the surrounding leylines have caused the armor buried in the ground to become active." Explaining in a low voice, Tian Xingjian, who was carrying the long knife, then pursed his mouth: "Hey, I don't know if what those magicians said is the truth, the problem with the leylines is Tania's side, what does it have to do with our Free City......"

"Ahem, this—"

Coughed a little embarrassedly, and Duan Qing's expression then became a little unnatural: "It's okay, I'm also a magician, as long as I can see that kind of monster with 10,000 gold coins each, I'll show you on the spot." ”

"You don't need to emphasize its value."

The voice belonging to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice then came from behind him, accompanied by the woman stroking the ends of her white hair and squinting at Duan Qing's face: "But since you have come here, it is not bad to see these magic armors." ”

"It's not that I don't trust you, but we won't work with you when the time comes." Crossing his arms and glancing at the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, Tian Xingjian shook his head and pulled his gaze back to the front of him: "Everyone fights separately, whether it is the spoils of war or the casualties, they are all responsible for themselves." ”

"Yes, that's in line with the Liberty City." Secretly stopping Xue Ling's frowning and wanting to speak, Duan Qing replied with a smile: "Everyone is already meeting in Pingshui, and being able to do this is already the greatest trust, anyway, we are the party with fewer people-"

"I just hope that when the time comes, you don't have to fight our idea in turn."

The atmosphere on the riverbank then returned to a state of silence again, and the gap between the two teams gradually widened with the termination of this conversation, and the figures named Asahi Dongsheng and Gedemayne converged with Duan Qing at this time under the greeting of eyes and gestures, and at the same time suppressed the whispering conversation within the narrowest range: "Is this a foolish pass?" ”

"I don't know, even if they don't spread the news that there are Imperial people entering the territory of Free City, the ID name of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice alone is enough for the people in that city to tremble."

"Where do I have such a devil as you say! I haven't been to Liberty City much in the past, so at most they are suspicious of our rhetoric and our intentions. ”

"Oh, it doesn't matter, anyway, I finally landed safely, and fortunately, Fula's affairs have not been exposed, and then as long as I enter the city peacefully-hey, you won't really be interested in that magic armor, will you?"

"This, this, it's all along the way anyway, why don't you make money if you have money?"

"Yes, yes, if it's pocket money, forget it, 10,000 gold coins...... I'm able to buy a good piece of equipment. ”

"Good gear? What other good gear do you need right now? Isn't the equipment that Spirit Ice came out of Tania's underground enough for you? ”

"The equipment needs of those things are so high, it's not something we can use for a while, and the money, who would be too much, right...... Wait a minute. ”

"Is there fog on the riverside?"

The team walking up the bank of the Hongshui River slowly stopped their steps, and then their vigilant eyes fell on the white mist around them that gradually became impenetrable, and the originally clear river beach scene and the figure of the Tianxingjian team more than ten meters away also became more and more blurred under the shroud of these white mist, and in contrast to their sudden warning shout: "All attention!" Spot the enemy! ”

"Magician! Shield! Atu Ahua stepped forward! ”

The sound of tight footsteps and the sound of command appeared in front of Duan Qing and the others in turn, and the sound of swords and magic chanting also sounded in their ears in turn, and the vibration of the bowstring then drove the buzzing arrows to fly out towards the depths of the white fog that suddenly rose, and there was a loud metal collision sound in the distance that could not be seen: "There it is!" ”

The energy that burst out of the sword and the fireball then blew away a little of the dense fog in the distance, and at the same time, a huge brown black shadow appeared, and the creaking sound caused by the metal armor colliding with each other then became clearer and clearer in Duan Qing's ears, and the magical energy connected between the armor and the armor also became the only shining light on the white background: "It's coming!" ”

"Hold on!"

Clang!

With the piercing sound of metal impact, the magically supported armor suddenly shook off its arm, and the huge metal longsword then collided with the two shields directly in front of the Skywalker team under the traction of invisible magical energy, and the strong kinetic energy blessing seemed to make the rust on the surface of this long sword turn into a fierce red light. The two heavy player figures then fell heavily into the distance in this powerful sweep, struggling to their feet with signs of survival, and the glow of the flames and rising swords then took their place and swooped out from the gap that emerged from under the huge sword: "Attack with all your might!" ”

The surface of the armor appeared for a moment with rust marks under the combined attack of several waves, and finally peeled off the legs of the entire magic armor monster in the impact of an iron arrow as a finish, and the overjoyed archer players in the team immediately wound their bows, and the action that originally wanted to launch an immediate pursuit was then replaced by Skywalker's long knife: "Don't be greedy! Don't have a long memory! ”

"Drink!"

He let out a loud shout, and the long knife wrapped in Gangfeng landed heavily on the surface of the huge long sword of the magic armor monster, and the tearing force then smashed the giant sword that wanted to be swung again a little, delaying the movement of the magic armor that wanted to attack again: "Ah Tu Ah Hua stepped forward!" ”

The two shieldbearers had now rushed back to the front of the group, and the magic shield that the magician had blessed them had once again appeared on their bodies, and the heavy impact and the scream of the attack in unison had re-established itself as the main theme around the riverbank, and finally ended with the peeling off of the armor on the other leg of the monster in magic armor: "Good! ”

"It's down! Full output! ”

At the same time, he lost the support of the physical object, and the huge armor fell heavily to the ground, and Tian Xingjian, who raised the long knife, then also called all his team members, and surrounded this magic armor: "Fight!" Beat! Give me the @% of what you guys are doing—huh. ”

"It's still not enough! Remove! ”

The red light flashed across the head of the magic armor, followed by a series of attacks that appeared on the edge of the river, and everyone who had noticed it in advance also jumped backwards in unison with Tian Xingjian's command, and then all kinds of magic and conditioning effects gathered together again. Looking at the scene of the magic armor that had regained its feet standing in front again, Duan Qing, who had been observing the battle, then sighed softly, he put away the arm that had been raised to block his teammates on the side, and at the same time pointed to the battlefield in front of him that had started a cycle and asked, "How is it?" ”

"First hit the foot, let it lose a certain amount of time to counterattack, and then concentrated on trying to rip the arm off, and finally failed because the output was not enough." Rubbing his chin, Asahi Dongsheng, who was also looking ahead, was the first to reply: "I don't know why they didn't remove their heads directly, I guess they have tried it in advance." ”

"For a monster like this, the demolition parts generally don't cause fatal damage." Gedmane then made his own comment: "Most of them want to nullify the monster's operation, and then wait for the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow, as for the parts...... Dear Magician, you should know where the core is, right? ”

"Even if I know where the core is, I don't think I should go there." Pointing to the surroundings of the dense fog, Xue Lingphantom Ice interrupted their comments with a frown: "At least it shouldn't be now, because-"

"Someone's coming."
