092 Present
No matter what Duan Qing was expecting in his heart, in the end, the result they found was still blank - although the process was very difficult, they still gritted their teeth and persevered for three or four days, and then ...... Nothing was found. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
They didn't even find a single person with a duplicate name.
"Why do we always have problems with the name? Either the name is wrong, or there is no such person......" Walking down the street to Fengwu Square, Duan Qing complained to the friends around him.
"Are you sure you heard me right? Or maybe that Yaschi hung up without finishing his words......"
"He later said something else, so he should have fully explained." Duan Qing denied this possibility, and then became indignant again: "As a result, we have wasted so much time for this person. ”
"At least we have a new understanding of the customs and customs of Fenghua Town, and we have also met a lot of people." The smiling uncle with a big shield on his back comforted on the side: "After such a blind search, we can be regarded as having a deeper understanding of this town, right?" ”
"I'd rather spend my time shopping." The little girl lifted her foot and carried away a stone by the side of the road.
"Or go to the martial arts arena and fight!"
"It's called the Wind Dance Square, it's not a martial arts arena. And aren't we going to that place now......"
"Come on, the training period has long passed, don't think I don't know, I've been in Fenghua Town much longer than you!"
"How ...... more than ten days is"
"Of course!"
"Uh...... Well, count you out. ”
Duan Qing lowered his arm weakly, and then frowned again: "But I still don't understand, isn't there a character named Finney in this town?" Even if we get it wrong......"
"Yes, although this town is not small, we have searched all the corners of this town, so we have to take the roster and go door to door." Uncle Smiling continued, "As a result, I haven't seen a living person named Finney." ”
"There's one!" Xiao Hongchen immediately retorted: "That grandfather of the Foreland family! ”
"So I'm talking about no living people! Forget it......" This time it was the turn of the smiling butcher to put down his arm weakly: "Let's analyze a wave rationally." ”
"Now in this situation, it can basically rule out the normal way to find this person. We need to rethink from somewhere else, and the possibility of mishearing mentioned earlier has already been denied by you. He looked at Duan Qing, who nodded: "Then the remaining possibility is ......"
"Finney is a pseudonym, a code name, a connector that only a few people know what to call him...... Something like that. ”
"Hey, that's what the guys said." Duan Qing shook his head.
"Who?" The smiling butcher asked suspiciously.
"The Shadow Will."
"What? You still have something to do with them? ”
"Well, I just know that guy named Wiesel...... No, it's not an acquaintance, it's just that I was asked by another person before......" Duan Qing explained casually for a while, and then found that it didn't seem to be clear: "Anyway, I just met once, and I mentioned this matter." Wiesel's opinion at the time was similar to what you think now...... By the way, you actually knew that the shadows would? ”
"I've heard of it." The smiling butcher said, "That's not a group of good people, deal with them, always be careful not to be sold......"
Duan Qing smiled and nodded.
"But since professional people think so, then this is probably the possibility." The smiling butcher shook his head: "Then we will have a hard time......
"If you don't even have the right name, then how are we going to find it?"
"It's all that strange guy from Yasqi, why did he give us such a strange message?" The little girl Mengzhu waved her little fist again, and the golden braids behind her also shook from side to side.
"Hey, maintaining a respect for the dead is our minimum rule."
"We almost put ourselves in order to save him, you can't think that we didn't do our best because we failed to rescue him." Mengzhu retorted: "And we have been in for such a long time for his will, I have been staying at the twenty-fourth level for a long time......"
"And we don't know how many more ...... we're going to get in," Uncle Smiling shook his head.
"Yes, yes! It's so boring to keep looking for it like this......"
"Okay, okay! I know your feelings, didn't we come out to relax, I just said that I was doing my best, and I couldn't find it. Seeing that it was about to arouse public anger, Duan Qing hurriedly began to calm everyone's mood: "After looking for this time, we won't look for it, why should we go...... My level hasn't changed in a few days. ”
After turning another corner, everyone's vision began to widen, and at the end of the road ahead, a large square appeared in front of them. Looking at the gradually increasing crowd of players on both sides, Duan Qing also glanced at the others, and then continued to move forward: "It's almost there." ”
"Well, let's go."
"By the way, you still don't want to tell the two of us, why are you in such a hurry to find that person?"
"That's it...... It doesn't matter anymore, maybe in two more days, the whole thing will pass. Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "When the time comes, we naturally don't have to look for it." ”
Or rather, you will understand when the time comes...... He didn't say that.
"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that Yaschi is Little Nina's father, I wouldn't have put in so much effort......"
"Yes, that little girl is indeed a little pitiful......"
"She's still in the Adventurers' Guild, right?"
"Probably, we haven't seen her in the past few days, maybe she hasn't recovered and has been locked up in that break room by Richard."
"That uncle can't even take care of himself, he won't starve that little Nina to death, right?"
"What do you think! You don't have to worry about NPCs, they won't starve to death if you starve to death......"
Accompanied by the unique mountain breeze of Fenghua Town, the voices of several people were gradually carried away, and then they disappeared, and only the figures of the four people could be vaguely seen in the crowd, and then they were gradually drowned in the crowd. The crowds on the streets gradually became denser as the Wind Dance Square approached, until it reached the edge of the square, where the whole crowd had already surrounded it. At a certain moment, a figure burst out of the crowd, giving up a place for the others, and ran into the alley not far away.
After a few corners, the man looked back and forth a few times to make sure no one was following him, and then dodged into a dilapidated street house.
"How? Did they say anything of value? In the dimly lit room, lit by only a candle standing in the middle of the table, a man in full armor was sitting at the table, holding a cup.
"Yes." The man carefully closed the door, and then walked slowly over: "They've been ...... a few days Seems to have been looking for a guy named Finney. ”
"Oh?" The armored man showed a look of obvious interest: "That...... Did they find it? ”
"I don't think there is a tone." The man sat down on the other side of the table, and then poured a glass of water as well: "The captain seems to be forcibly trying to find that person, so it caused some team members to be dissatisfied, but he also said...... If it doesn't work out, give up this search for someone. ”
"Hmm...... Finney, huh? The armored man nodded, and then beckoned to the darkness behind: "Yu Chen, is there any information from our guild on the whereabouts of this person?" ”
"Back to the boss, no." The man who answered him came out of the darkness, he thought for a moment, and then said dryly.
"That's the little people, or there is no such person anymore." The armored man tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a moment, then waved his men back: "Or...... It's a guy who changed his name. ”
"The president of the Red Soul really has some ability." The man before said appreciatively, "Those people think so too." ”
"Hmph." In the face of the other party's praise, the man known as the Red Soul President sneered indifferently, and then replied with the same attitude: "The ability of the members of the Freedom Wings is not bad, they have followed the other party for so long, and they have not been discovered. ”
"It's just a little higher." The man shook his head: "You can't call it a skill. ”
"Hmm......" Cuong obviously didn't want to linger too long on this topic, he was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "In that case, then should we ...... it?"
"There shouldn't be a need for a change in the plan." The man replied without hesitation: "I don't know what Captain Liangchen thinks, according to my observation, the strength of those people ...... That's it. ”
"But they're very calculating." The armored man reminded, "And...... Very good at working hard. ”
"There are only four of them, and that bit of strength and calculation is nothing in the face of the general trend." The man shook his head: "And this time, we are in the shadows, and they don't have time to calculate anything. I'm looking forward to it when they see those things happening...... How they will react. ”
The man laughed wistfully, "It's been a long time since I've ...... So a man is calculated. ”
The sinister laughter echoed in the small dark room, quite terrifying, Cuong rubbed his arm, rubbing the armor on his body to a creak, and then he stroked his chest, and asked the messenger of the Wings of Freedom in front of him again.
"So...... Is everything foolproof? ”
"There should be no problem. Watch it now...... What happened to Vizad's side. The man drowned out his laughter, then crossed his hands and cupped his chin, "If I'm not mistaken." ”
"It should be today."
********************
Today is the day of the duel.
The president of Vizad took over the challenge of Jian Beidong in place of his own members before, although the time and place were not set, but both sides are long-established figures, and they must not be fooled because of these details. So in the case of all the attention, the time and place were so arbitrarily decided.
On this day, the 29th day of the first month of the year of the new calendar, the Wind Dance Square was crowded with people, surrounding the entrances and exits of the surrounding streets. According to Duan Qing's original guess, this kind of lively thing of watching master duels can also attract many players to come, and the aborigines of the Free Continent should not be of much interest, and they may not even know about it. But now it seems that this idea is very wrong.
However, it didn't take long for Duan Qing to understand why so many townspeople had come to this place - in all corners of the square, there were some stalls that specialized in selling food and drinks, and he inquired casually, and then understood where the stall owners came from.
"The food stalls were set up by the Vyzadeh's people."
"What? What are they trying to do? Take advantage of the popularity of this battle to make a windfall? The smiling butcher was shocked: "This is too ...... Stingy, right? ”
"yes." Duan Qing said, "But as far as I know, the price at which they sell ...... It's basically equal to giving it away for free. ”
"Uh......"
"But those things are not delicious, and players who come here will not covet these small bargains." Duan Qing clasped his hands to his chest and looked at the center of the square: "We came here to ...... Watch the battle. ”
"Makes sense." Uncle Smiling said, "Then they did it for ......"
"Maybe it's to attract more NPCs to watch the fight, maybe it's to get a better reputation, and then lay the groundwork for their next expansion, or something...... How do I know, I'm just guessing at random. What about Dream Bamboo? ”
"She dragged Xiao Hongchen to grab food......"
"Poof...... I didn't say anything before. ”
In the part near the center of the square, several figures stood faintly, looking like they should be the top of the Vizad, and the chairman of the Vizad and the party who was about to fight were among them. Looking at Duan Qing from this side, several people stood with their chests crossed, talking to each other from time to time, and they all looked relaxed. Only a few members of the Wezzard who occasionally ran in and out of the crowd told the surrounding audience about the tension of the situation.
"How long have they been waiting here?"
"It's said I've been waiting for hours."
"Isn't it reasonable that the challenger should have waited here early? Why haven't you shown up for so long......"
"I don't know, but he'll definitely show up."
"Why?"
"Because he's Jian Beidong."
Because he is Jian Beidong - countless players who have experienced several generations of the game world will think so, because that person gives outsiders the feeling that he is a typical example of a swordsman in the rivers and lakes. Superb swordsmanship, ruthless, but quite faithful, and often uneven, this master who has been a lone ranger for three years has gradually been accepted by most players, and is regarded as an idol by some people. However, as a person, Jian Beidong has always been noncommittal about the evaluation of the people around him, whether it is a good evaluation or a bad evaluation, he has never publicly expressed his opinions and replies - in fact, he has not appeared in the official arena for three years, so he has not had the opportunity to say anything public.
Therefore, this challenge has attracted the attention of many people - this is a rare voice made by Jian Beidong in public.
In a town like Fenghua Town, there are definitely not many fans of the Phoenix Sword, but there are definitely some, but here and now, their cheering can't hide more people's doubts - if Sword Beidong doesn't appear again, the sun will go down.
"What are you going to do if he doesn't show up today?"
"Hmm...... It's not easy, but I can re-plan it. In the center of the square, the black-clothed scholar raised his hand indifferently: "There are other opportunities for our plan to be implemented, but if he doesn't come...... We have another opportunity to make a fuss out of thin air. ”
"Why don't we use the resources that were sent for free?"
"Hmph, that's right." Sunset Lonely Smoke patted his shoulder, lifted the cloak behind him a little, and then let the mountain wind stretch it out: "If you think about it like this, it's better for him not to come." ”
"I didn't expect the Phoenix Sword, which was unhindered in the past, to do such a thing......"
"Don't make assumptions about others."
The person who said this sentence was not the black-clothed scholar standing next to him, but from the sky above the next house, and the crowd of onlookers, who were originally a little restless, also fell silent with the sudden appearance of this sentence. Correspondingly, all eyes were on it.
The man in the shabby cloak sat quietly on the roof of the old house, leaning his back against the stone chimney, looking blankly at the few people in the center of the square.
"Didn't your parents teach you?" He put his hands behind his head as well, and focused his eyes on the clear sky.
The burly man in the red robe had a gloomy face.
