655 Wasteland, the sound of ridicule

"Lulin Ranch is the largest sheep pasture near Fenghua Town, and almost all the mutton and sheepskins in the entire town are produced from this place, and if they fall into the hands of the enemy, they will at least not lack food......

“…… Yes, this is Honghua Village, and the Bauer and Bystin families, who own large fields, all depend on this place to survive. ”

“…… When they attacked Greenstone Village, they were actually hindered a lot, because the canyon near the Little Andachel Mountains was easier to defend and more difficult to attack the further south they went...... What the? Why not call from further south? It's all a sea and there's an emerald forest bigger than the ocean......"

"If we're thinking about a cleanup closer to the west, we'd better start near the town of Zipung, and if we're lucky, we might even run into reinforcements and adventurers from Anderson Independence...... No, no, no, don't think about this village, it's been abandoned since hundreds of years ago, and everyone who rushed in never came out again......"

Time passed quietly in the mutual discussion of the war in Xifeng County between several people, as if they were proving the peace and tranquility of this temporary camp in this way, until a few coughs representing someone coming to visit sounded outside the curtain of the tent, and the voices belonging to Duan Qing and Richard stopped temporarily: "...... In. ”

"Reason, Lord Richard." In the eyes of several people, an NPC with a rather old face walked into the field of vision of Duan Qing and the others: "Those new adventurers want to ask to see adults, so ......"

"Well, I almost forgot about them......"

patted his head, the sloppy uncle holding the huge parchment waved his hand casually, and then moved away from the map with a smile in his eyes, and slowly landed on Duan Qing's head opposite: "You guys...... It should be together, right? ”

"There were some misunderstandings, but it didn't matter." Duan Qing shook his head and replied, "Judging from the brief contact during this time...... These people can still be trusted. ”

"Then let them stay here." The grinning Richard waved his big hand: "Since you want me to take you out, just in time for them to take care of the house for me......"

"Hey, don't let us take the blame for you, okay?" Duan Qing replied helplessly: "The adventurers are not used by you like this, their skills are not what you remember, and they came here with the patrol mission of Karon Pass, it is impossible for them to stay for a long time......"

"It's not easy, just say no to the people of the principality?"

Looking at Duan Qing with disdainful eyes, Richard sneered and pointed to their east: "Those incompetent guys don't want to find my whereabouts once or twice, they go back and forth around Fenghua Town every day like fools, but with their skills, telling them about this place will only make things worse......"

"You mean to say...... We're here because you're a favor, aren't we? Duan Qing also pursed his lips: "If it weren't for you suddenly coming out from behind, I might still be fighting with that guy from the Flame Legend right now......

"If I hadn't seen you, I wouldn't have appeared in front of you." Richard crossed his legs and said, "Congratulations, your status has surpassed those useless principality officers and soldiers...... Don't thank you for thanking me? ”

"Thank you, thank you, you better hurry up." Duan Qing waved his hand helplessly: "I know what you want to say, but it's a pity that my adventure group and I were both established under your hands, and you guy's 'glorious' image in our minds ......"

"It's going to be a reversal for a while."

There were a few joking quarrels around the star-like spring, and finally the scruffy uncle lifted the curtain and fell silent, and the tinkling of the water then took over the quiet tent to the left and right, turning the few who had been quiet here into a part of nature. The noise and shouts from the outside of the camp then appeared in the direction where Richard left, and at the same time appeared a smug laugh belonging to the legend of the flames, Duan Qing, who was listening to this scene, then retracted his gaze that fell there, and sat back in place with a wry smile: "I always felt that I would meet a large number of acquaintances after coming to Xifeng County, but I didn't expect that the first one would be him......

"Ning Lan only visited this place once when she was looking for Mr., so ...... We don't know more about Fenghua Town than Mr. is familiar with. Ning Lan, who had been sitting on the side and smiling, immediately replied: "What Ning Lan can do is to investigate the situation in the vicinity according to Mr.'s instructions before, and this meeting and introduction can be regarded as a great help to Ning Lan......

"The overview of the map has been recorded? That's good. Duan Qing also nodded his head: "The places mentioned by Richard before, we'd better go and walk around, if I don't understand it wrong, this should be another form of hint given to us by the system......"

"That'...... Ning Lan took the first step. After a slight salute, Ning Lan's eyes stayed for a moment at the location of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice beside her: "Since I don't have much time to accompany you......

"Ning Lan hopes to be able to explore the value of these places as much as possible in the limited time."

The originally incomparably clear figure then turned into an illusion and disappeared in front of Duan Qing in a blink of an eye, and Duan Qing, who was looking at her original position, also put down the hand he had just raised, and sighed slightly: "Then...... What about you? ”

“…… I'd better not go out easily. ”

Still silent, the black cloak of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice replied indifferently: "My identity may cause you trouble, so ......"

"So what are you walking around with us all the time...... Uh, forget it, I'm not going to talk about it. ”

Looking at the other party's eyes that gradually became cold, Duan Qing retracted his jokes, and the expression that had been thinking about it slowly disappeared under the layers of bitter smiles as his mood relaxed: "That...... We may have to go out to investigate the plan later, do you want to participate in it? ”

“……”

The woman didn't answer his words, but looked at each other quietly, and then after a period of silent staring, she slowly disappeared into the air in front of Duan Qing: "...... Almost. ”

"Since there is someone with you...... Then I'll go offline and rest for a while. ”

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

For the next two days, Duan Qing stayed in this small camp, and the original plan to secretly investigate was slowly shelved in the trivial life around him - coming to a brand new map, the first thing players have to do is generally understand the various conditions of this place, but unfortunately this temporary camp located in the Windy Night Forest is not a normal town, but a real temporary refugee camp, So whenever people like Duan Qing appeared in the sight of those NPCs, they all reversed their posture when they called themselves the townspeople of Fenghua Town, and while crying to the players about their various encounters during the invasion of the Restorationists, they put forward all kinds of fancy requirements, due to the extreme shortage of combat manpower, these players' requirements that they could not encounter in normal times have become countless tasks and commissions at this time, and then together with the flying snow falling in the sky, all fell on Duan Qing and Flame Legend and others.

But looking at the watery eyes of those women and children like the Star Wind Spring, Duan Qing still took them one by one.

"Yo, you're back?"

“…… Where did you go today? ”

"Helping an aunt named Xela collect some materials may seem like a very important thing, but it's actually just a few herbs...... What about you? Where have you been? ”

"Of course, I went to chop wood with someone!"

Throwing a huge tree on his shoulder to the ground, Flame Legend waved his hand to the brothers behind him, and showed an angry expression as he pointed out where to place the wood: "I didn't believe it when you told me that Richard was a lazy president, but now I believe it...... This guy just threw everything he was supposed to do before on me! ”

"If you have any comments, please ask him in person, I was going to do it anyway." Duan Qing, who put down the herbal medicine bag, sighed helplessly: "I told him a lot before, but now I can't even find anyone......"

"You can't find anyone, and I can't find either." Flame Legend exhaled a sullen breath: "The brothers are here to fight, not to help chop wood and boil water, although those villagers look very pitiful...... But if this continues, the brothers will not even be able to afford to eat! ”

“…… Didn't he tell you to go to Karon Pass to report it before? As if he suddenly remembered something, Duan Qing's voice became a little lower: "What happened later?" ”

“…… According to the brothers who returned, the people there were also very excited. The Legend of the Flame subconsciously looked left and right here: "But the strange thing is...... Other than that, they didn't do anything else, as if they wanted to just leave us here and leave this camp to fend for itself......"

"There will be action, but it may not have been told to you."

Standing in place and groaning for a while, Duan Qing said in a low voice: "Since the coalition forces may arrive at any time, the troops they sent may already be on the way. ”

"Don't say such unfounded words, I don't want my speculation to be shattered again." Flame Legend flung a disdainful nasal voice above his head: "It's enough for us to clear up the misunderstanding with you, we don't want to make a mistake on the Duchy's side......"

“…… Dedicating oneself to the townspeople of Fenghua Town is actually a very good thing. ”

Stretching out his hand to dispel the awkward atmosphere that had just arisen between the two of them, Duan Qing replied with a smile, "That reward for you...... Maybe I'll keep it for you all the time. ”

"It's impossible, it's not possible, they're not that rich." Flame Legend waved his hand repeatedly: "The days of surviving by the same exchange method as the novice village are long gone, and now even the patrol mission provided by Karon Pass is ...... They all give more money than the villagers here! ”

"Believe me, I'm a real ......"

"Ahh Don't listen, don't listen, monk chanting! ”

After a casual conversation for a while, the two of them finally slowly left in their own farewells, and the heavy snow soon covered the footprints of their departures, erasing the traces of their respective departures. There was the sound of some players helping to carry water in the distance, Duan Qing shook his head and let out a few wry laughs, and then slowly put on the white wolf cloak he had exchanged from a certain villager's aunt in a corner where no one was around: "This is ......"

"Camouflage should be enough, right?"

He exerted force under his feet, and began to run wildly in the direction of the wilderness, and then his body turned into an afterimage appeared on one of the roads leading to the outskirts of the forest, and slowly disappeared into the depths of the field, and a long trajectory appeared in the snow scene on the plain on the south side of Fenghua Town, and then a complete arc was drawn obliquely, and then in the snow that was rowed to both sides, he came to an abandoned military camp on the southwest side of the Fenghua Plain: "I thought it was very familiar when I looked at that map before......

"The only thing Richard didn't say was this place."

After observing the surroundings of this ruin left and right for a while, Duan Qing's face gradually became solemn, and he tightened the white wolf skin that was draped around him, and slowly slowed down his steps. The overly quiet atmosphere did not change in any way because of Duan Qing's quiet arrival, but became more and more tense, stepping on the snow, he slowly lowered his body, and took out the black short sword on his waist with his backhand: "I don't need others to remind ...... at all."

"The air here is clearer than words."

His knees were slightly bent, his body fully extended, and the black blade then slashed behind a gray-black ruined wall, bringing out a dazzling glow of blood. A large number of figures immediately appeared around the originally quiet ruins, and they converged towards the center of the ruins along with the white line that Duan Qing suddenly rushed through, and the swords, guns, and magic attacks that each raised also turned around with his sudden attack: "Who is it?" ”

"Adventurers?"

"Only one person? Daring! ”

"Kill him!"

As if from the center of the quiet snowfield to the fiery battlefield, the black tide representing malice and murderous aura suddenly swept the air here, and Duan Qing, who had lifted the train, also instantly sensed the original intentions of those lurking here, and his eyes swept in the direction they were originally monitoring: "It's been so long, and your habits of being rats have not changed......

"Grandchildren!"

Dodging the impact of the two intertwined fireballs, Duan Qing, who was leaping in the air, turned around and shouted.

"I'm all coming for grandpa!"
