When people find something abnormal, they will subconsciously have a reaction of "finding abnormality", and this reaction often comes earlier than logic itself. The state of Duan Qing www.biquge.info was exactly like this at this time, but he quickly realized what was wrong in the coachman's words - in the previous soft and hard exchanges, Duan Qing had said all the good things, but he did not mention his name, and in the communication between players and NPCs in the free world, if the two parties who can't see each other's names want to know each other's names, in addition to relying on the popular method of mutual registration, The only way to know in advance is to know the rest in advance.

In other words, this unmasked coachman actually knew his name in advance...... Duan Qing's mind flashed this year, and then he suddenly pulled out his weapon: "You ......"

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Moshang Aoyama."

The carriage had begun to move slowly again, creaking and reverberating over the stone-paved pavement, which, along with the middle-aged male voice of the coachman, gave the night a certain sense of tranquility. However, this feeling was difficult for Duan Qing to experience at this moment, and all his attention was already on his own safety and the words that the coachman was about to say: "You...... How do I know my name? ”

"It was my mistake to rashly report your name, but it was also to gain your trust, Your Excellency." The driver's voice in front of the carriage was still calm: "I hope you can ...... a little Understand. ”

"You...... Who are you? So Duan Qing pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword and asked with a solemn face.

"We are a Tania tour team, of course...... For me, that's the work of the outside. In the quiet avenue, the coachman's voice became a little muffled: "Actually, I'm Mana Milak, one of the members of the Tania branch. ”

As if sensing the suspicion in Duan Qing's heart, the coachman's voice changed: "Ah, by the way, you people from the outside world like to call us ...... Shadows will. ”

"What......" Duan Qing was shocked: "What? ”

"Why, is there anything in here that should surprise you?"

"You're a member of the Shadow Society?" In the slow movement of the old carriage, Duan Qing's heart finally let go of a little: "You and those people in Wiesel are in the same group?" ”

"Ah, Wiesel is the former head of Windflower Town, and now ...... Hehehe. The coachman chuckled lowly: "Now, he is waiting for you in the capital." ”

"What?" So Duan Qing exclaimed again: "Wiesel in the capital? Still waiting for me? What are you waiting for me to do? ”

"Please don't panic, Your Excellency, we have no ill intentions." The sound of insects chirping gradually became evident in the quiet and windy environment of the night, and the driver's voice was still steady, but it was much more relaxed than before: "We ...... The reputation of the Shadow Society is not very good on the outside, but please believe that what we have done is definitely not as ...... as rumored by the outside world."

"If you hadn't appeared so coldly in front of my eyes, I might have believed you."

"Hehe, it was just an accident, sir." The coachman smiled casually again, and then corrected his statement: "Well, actually...... We've been looking for you for days. ”

"You should know the latest developments in the war between the empire and the principality, right?"

"If you're talking about the battle at Fars Fortress, I've just learned a little bit about ......"

"Well, that's not a bad thing." "You may not know it, but the final outcome of this battle is inextricably linked to you and your partner. ”

Duan Qing didn't reply, but if the coachman could see his expression, then he should be able to read some kind of emotion similar to "You're teasing me" from Duan Qing's expression.

"Based on this relationship, and what I know about you before, Wiesel has proposed that you and your companions be put on the list of people to focus on." Seeing that Duan Qing did not respond, the coachman who had been waiting for a while continued to introduce what he knew in a flat tone: "Similarly, based on more factors including the above reasons, we have decided to find your whereabouts and then ......"

"There are some things I want to discuss with you."

"It doesn't sound like good news at all." Duan Qing sneered and said, "It seems that being targeted by an organization like yours is no better than being targeted by the Restorationists......"

"Oh, we're not like those lunatics who claim to be sane." Ignoring Duan Qing's knowledge of too much, the coachman still said unhurriedly: "Please believe us, we do have something to ask for, which is why we are in such a hurry to find you." That's why we're keeping an eye on your friends in the principality's capital......"

"If you let me know what unpleasant things you have done...... Duan Qing's voice interrupted the other party at the right time: "I promise, you will receive a reward." ”

I don't want to repeat that again, but ...... Trust us, we didn't do anything. The coachman still said indifferently, "We just suddenly noticed that you seemed to have disappeared from the disgruntled adventure group, so we investigated a little and tracked it down all the way." ”

"Well, that's it...... Today's meeting is not an accident, isn't it? ”

"No, I was lucky to have you." The coachman said, "Or fate." ”

"Hmph, you really believe in these things." Duan Qing sneered mercilessly.

"Of course, only those who believe in fate have the opportunity to change them." The coachman uttered a thought-provoking sentence inexplicably, and then turned back to the conversation: "But it's a good thing that I was able to find you without any problems." ”

"Ah, then ......" Duan Qing's voice paused, and finally began to turn to the formal question: "What do you want me to do when you find me?" ”

"...... about this matter"

On the silent official road, the faint sound of insects suddenly disappeared for a moment, only the sound of the constantly shaking carriage and the sound of rolling wheels still recalled in Duan Qing's ears, as if to indicate that something was happening: "I don't know you...... What is the extent to which you know about the current state of the principality? ”

"Uh, why do you ask such a question all of a sudden?"

"In fact, judging from the current situation, the current situation in the principality is very bad." The driver's voice was as steady as ever: "From what we have learned...... That's right. ”

"Let's wait until you arrive in Tania to find out for yourself."

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

Duan Qing, who had fulfilled his wish, finally spent the night peacefully in the old carriage, and managed to rush back to the capital at dawn - the latter was completely unexpected by him, because judging by the constant creaking of the old carriage, the car would definitely not be able to run fast.

So when he got out of the car and saw the faintly visible wall that belonged to the city of Tania, the capital of the principality, he was really shocked.

"Alright, the destination has arrived, Your Excellency." The coachman's voice sounded beside him at the right time, Duan Qing turned his head to look at him, and sure enough, in the early morning sun, he saw the face of an ordinary middle-aged man: "I hope you haven't forgotten what you promised before." ”

"Huh? I haven't said I'm going to say yes......"

"I'm talking about the ride." The driver had an inexplicable smile on his face: "I hope you remember that sentence - don't talk about the night ride, otherwise my work will become very troublesome." ”

"That, ......ahh ”

"Walking through the woods from here, you should be able to see the city gate to the south." The coachman left this sentence and turned back to the carriage: "After entering, remember to go to the Commoner's Dignity Tavern to find the contact, the code is ......"

"Wait a minute." Duan Qing interrupted the other party's words: "I always feel as if something seems to have suffered a loss...... That's right. ”

He snapped his fingers, "I don't know your name yet." ”

"Uh, sir, that doesn't seem to be a big deal......"

"Of course, you already know my name, so I'm not always asking you, right?" Duan Qing said with a smile: "This time and again, it is only fair to me. ”

“...... All right. The coachman said helplessly, "Kima, sir, Kima?" Akasha. ”

The middle-aged man sitting in the driver's seat tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, and gradually put on a strange smile: "Hope...... You can forget the name. ”

"Huh...... I've never seen such a strange request from you. ”

Looking at the carriage that had begun to turn around, Duan Qing whispered to himself helplessly, and then according to the other party's previous statement, he began to walk in the direction of the city gate - according to the agreement agreed before, there should be someone waiting for him in that place at the city gate. However, the things that happened in Falling Star Mountain yesterday were still vivid, looking at the new and old stations of those players who were in full swing in the vicinity, Duan Qing still had an unreal feeling in his heart - it was a feeling that not much time had passed, but it seemed as if a long time had passed.

This feeling has not been felt for a long time for Duan Qing.

"Hmph, sure enough...... Choosing to come back and play the game was the right decision. As if wanting to sober up his consciousness, Duan Qing shook his head, and then walked through a forest that had been almost cut down and came to the main road close to the city gate: "Okay......"

"I said I would come back today, but I didn't expect to come back overnight...... Isn't it too early? ”

Tania in the early morning was no different from the scene that Duan Qing had seen when he hurried by, and this just showed that the players were still enthusiastic about building their own station. Perhaps because of this, there were as many people coming and going as usual at the south gate of Tania, but Duan Qing, who had no worries, was finally able to observe the majesty of the principality's capital this time.

"Presumably Mengzhu hasn't come yet, let's take a good look here, but before that, we have to solve the problem of breakfast, anyway, there is no one selling food at the gate of this city?"

Duan Qing looked back and forth for a while, and finally walked into the city gate first before the guards stationed at the city gate were about to put their suspicious eyes on him: "Hey, the guards have worked hard, can you let me in?" ”

"Who are you? Do you have a pass? ”

"Huh? What is a pass? Do you need this kind of thing to go into town now? ”

"There were spies in Tania a few days ago, so now the security has been strengthened, if it is a suspicious person from outside, you need to have a certificate of entry and exit issued by the principality to enter." Perhaps it was Duan Qing's small actions before that aroused the other party's suspicions, and the guard's face was very indifferent.

"What? Why didn't that Kima tell me about this kind of thing......" Duan Qing muttered quietly, and then put on a kind smile: "But big brother, why can those people carrying materials come and go at will, I am an adventurer like them......"

"We're an adventure party registered in Tania!"

One of the players passing by heard Duan Qing's words, so he jumped out and explained, "We are the ones who are registered in the power center of the principality, don't we even have this permission?" ”

"Don't get excited, these brothers, I'm also from the adventure group here."

"Huh? Which hill are you from? ”

"Fool Adventure ......"

"Fools?" The player carrying the stone looked up and thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Haven't heard of it...... You can't really be a bastard from the Empire, right? ”

"Hey, hey, you can't talk nonsense." Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "It's just that our adventure group may not be so famous, the number of people is relatively small, and the station may not be ......."

"Hey!"

A girl's voice suddenly shouted behind him, "How can you say that about your own adventure party? ”

Duan Qing looked back, and the familiar purple burqa in his impression did not appear in his field of vision, instead of a female figure wearing a black leather armor jacket.

The little girl's inner lining is still a standard white suit unique to newcomers in the novice village, but beyond that, it is no longer the purple burqa, but a short and cool black leather armor coat, the red lines draw a simple line on the surface of the leather armor jacket with less clothing, bringing some weird style to this blouse, but also outlining a certain sense of exposure more obviously, the little girl's lower body is an same black trousers, but it seems to be because of the material, The color of the pants seems to have faded a little, making it look a little ...... Old.

In addition, the deepest impression of the little girl in front of her was a uniquely shaped brooch pinned to her chest, under her neck, and the long golden ponytail at the back of her head.

"But...... It's a lot more punctual than the previous purple hat. Duan Qing pinched his chin and commented with some malice.

"What are you talking about, uncle! Haven't I always been ugly before? The girl replied with her hands on her hips, a little huffy, and then pulled out a crumpled piece of white paper from under her strange black leather coat and threw it to the guard next to her.

"Well, that's it, right?"
