1037 Circular Journey
"The count is complete, and there are thirty-two pairs of wild boar teeth in the wasteland."
The sky gradually turned dark with the passage of time, and the carriage that belonged to Duan Qing on the occasion gradually disappeared into a gully at the edge of Cotan Avenue, and the trip that was supposed to be in one day to the south of Debilisi Castle was also changed to two days due to the delay of the previous battle, so that Duan Qing and the others had to rest temporarily by camping. Fortunately, the convoy on this road was not the only one who encountered such a situation, so the players also developed the corresponding camping spots early, and these safe rest places recorded on the Cotan Plains have also become one of the best places for them to count the previous battle gains with peace of mind: "There are also wild boar skins, bear skins, and fifteen magic crystals of Warcraft - wahahaha, it's just a lot of money?" β
"Thank you to those little people for bringing us all this wealth." Looking at the expression of the soul hunter who was still settling accounts on the side, the exile war song sitting next to the bonfire couldn't help but smile a little: "But...... I think these wild boar meat look good, too. β
"That's right, that's right!" Throwing the big cloth bag in his hand aside, the Soul Hunter sniffed and leaned in front of Duan Qing, who was roasting a large pile of wild boar: "Big brother, ah no-Boss Linyuan Broken Water, when can we have dinner?" I'm already hungry......"
"Go, go, go." What answered him was Duan Qing's unceremonious big slap: "Do you know how much effort it took for me to pick out those wild boar meat with magic essences?" And it's still an impure magic element! Dodge and dodge, come and disturb me again, be careful to eat your stomach for a while! β
"But even if the cooking skills are not up to standard, this meat alone is enough to get a lot of money." Holding his arm cautiously, Alast, who was waiting on the side, asked quietly: "After all, when you usually take risks, you can use one wild boar as the unit of measurement at most, and I have never encountered so many fifty or sixty heads." β
"And bear meat! I haven't tasted bear meat yet! The little girl named Murong Qingchun on the side also shouted happily: "Big brother is really amazing!" β
"Please, I didn't kill this alone, I killed it together." So Duan Qing, who was rummaging the barbecue, had to show a helpless wry smile: "If you didn't rush forward bravely together, I wouldn't be able to do anything with my local puppet alone." β
"Come on, stop being modest." patted the other party's shoulder, and Asahi Dongsheng, who was originally sitting in the corner, walked over with a smile: "I've been playing in the free world for so many years, and I've never seen a spell like a magic clay puppet - did you invent it yourself?" β
"Don't touch it, if you want to touch it, touch it over there." Knocking the other party's outstretched hand to the side, Duan Qing turned to point to the opposite side of the bonfire: "As for that kind of spell...... As long as you've seen a high-level magician, you won't say anything like that. β
"It's supposed to be magically shaped, right?" Sitting on the opposite side of the bonfire, Xue Lingphantasm put down the long sword in his hand that was full of cooked meat: "High-level magicians can use their mental control to shape the magical elements they are good at into whatever shape they want. β
"It's called a clay kneader." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "You look like you're very powerful, but in fact, you just casually changed the shape of the earth element according to the habit I imagined, as long as the magic level is a little better, you can reach my current level." β
"The magic level of Big Brother Broken Water, we have already seen it when we were in the jungle of Gemenan." Exile Warsong said with a smile: "If it weren't for your super level performance at that time, whether we could have beaten that boss in the end is still two words." β
"That time was exceptional, and it can't be compared to this one." Inserting the two big iron sticks in his hand into the land on the side, Duan Qing, who looked at the pieces of meat that were roasted until golden brown, nodded his head with satisfaction: "At least half of this military exploit is earned by your own courage and hard work, so ......"
"This time, the spoils of war should also have half of yours." He turned his head with a smile and looked approvingly at the rookie players sitting behind him, "Well done, little ones." β
"So how do you divide it?"
In the loud cheers of several people behind him, Gedmayne, who was sitting in the corner on the other side of the bonfire, slowly walked over with his heavy armor: "I roughly calculated, a pair of intact wild boar teeth can be sold for about thirty gold coins, and if you meet a better trader, you may be able to sell for fifty gold coins in the end......"
"Coupled with the remaining magic crystals and beast furs, we may be able to sell them for more than three thousand gold coins in the end." He pointed to the carriage behind Duan Qing, "And that's not counting the rest of the goods in there, as well as the most valuable loot dropped by the bear monsters. β
"The goods in the carriage originally belonged to the beast and bird tribe, and I didn't plan to touch them." Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "But the rest of the materials, I want to wait until I get to the castle to see the situation." β
"If it can be processed properly, the final value will definitely be higher than if it was sold outright." The whisperer who was sitting in the corner also nodded and said, "Even if it is not used as the start-up capital for the guild, everyone will probably be able to get about a thousand gold coins." β
"A thousand gold coins...... Hmph, I can't even afford a fraction of what the merchant sold the carriage before. Pouting disdainfully, Duan Qing then sent a deep voice to Gedmayne's head along with his inquiring gaze: "Have you inquired with that person from the Nanshan Sect?" Are they connected to that Noxus Chamber of Commerce? β
"I didn't ask about that." Gedemine scratched his head a little helplessly: "But with the strength of that chamber of commerce, if they want to trouble us, most of them won't need this group of people from the Nanshan faction to make a move, right?" β
ββ¦β¦ That's right. β
Leisurely taking out a pot of wine from his arms, Duan Qing gestured in the direction of the rest of the people: "Then don't care, let's celebrate our victory today, celebrate that we have broken through the defense line of that group of gangs, and have gained so much!" β
"What about the Restorationists?" The blue-haired female swordsman shook her head immediately, "They won't just stop. β
"Even if the Restorationists are not the final boss of the game of the Free World, it is impossible to destroy them all now." His gaze fell on the face of Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was also silent on the other side of the bonfire, and Duan Qing also shrugged his shoulders: "So all we can do now is to act at the opportunity, and by the way, deal with all the troubles that can be dealt with." β
"Drink this glass of wine, and then hurry up and rest." He held up the flask in his hand: "We've made some detours......"
"If you don't hurry to the imperial capital, you will end up missing the appointment."
***********************************
The province of Thebilisi, to which the castle of Thebilisi belongs, is actually a province bordering the province of Santerius, and although there is a clear dividing line between the two sides due to some geographical and historical reasons, the distance between them is actually much shorter than Duan Qing imagined. Due to the existence of Koska County, which was previously seized by the Empire, many Imperial caravans from the capital of the Empire to the territory of the Eastern Duchy also chose the more direct route, which also made the originally prosperous Cotan Avenue now much more deserted.
Although this kind of deserted situation is actually more suitable for the situation that Duan Qing and the others with a wanted warrant on their heads want to see.
"You said the gang wouldn't give up, would you?"
"Stupid, even if they don't give up, they won't be able to catch up with us now! Unless they really have the energy of the Beast and Bird Alliance to take care of us in the castle of Thebilisi. β
"I'm not afraid of thieves, I'm afraid of thieves, not to mention that we will definitely come and go to this place often in the future, if there is a similar cargo transportation task again......"
"So we're going to report back to our immediate boss! Try to make them worse! Let this group of guild bosses solve these troubles by themselves...... Hey? β
"Look, look! We're here! β
The swaying figure of the heavy carriage gradually revealed the horizon in the distance of the road, showing a huge castle on the other side of the horizon in front of Duan Qing and the others, Duan Qing, who was still sitting at the top of the carriage, also lowered his eyes when he heard the sound, and turned to the white-haired woman beside him and smiled: "It's really a circle." β
"What?"
"The former village of Carlo was part of the province of Thebilisi."
Pointing to the south where they were, Duan Qing's eyes stole a look of memory: "At that time, I often went back and forth between the village and the castle, buying some magic materials or things for filial piety for my master, and when I met you before, it happened to be when I came back from the castle not long after......"
"Then we fled together to Tanzania and then back from the north." Xue Lingphantom Bing, who understood something, also showed a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's really going around in a circle." β
"By the way, how did you get to the village of Carlo?" Facing the spring breeze constantly blowing on the roof of the car, Duan Qing continued to ask leisurely, "Did you also pass from the castle of Thebilisi?" β
"She's made her way through the wilderness." Speaking out for the other party, the whisper who had been standing on the roof of the carriage and was responsible for keeping an eye on the guard turned his head with a disdainful face: "At that time, she was still a street rat that everyone shouted and beat, how could she dare to enter a big city like the castle of Thebilisi." β
"That's not right." Holding down the shoulders of Xue Ling, whose face was cold, Duan Qing pouted and turned his head: "Aren't we the street rats that everyone shouts and beats nowβouch!" Don't bite! β
"Bite you."
Hatefully said these three words, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who let go of the other party's hand to the side, hid his long white hair behind the black hood again: "Anyway, now that even Christine doesn't know me, the Mage Council should continue to ignore my current identity." β
"Don't forget the other things you've done." Whispering brushed the hair around her ear: "Even if you remove the pursuit of you by the Mage Council, most of your reputation in other countries is a state of hatred, if it weren't for the system not giving NPCs the ability to automatically find out their identities, you might have starved to death in the wilderness by now." β
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, because I've been living in the wilderness for a long time." Xue Ling's voice turned sideways to his body in a low voice: "Until I went to Carlo Village, I had been acting alone. β
"Why do you want to go it alone? What can you do alone? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Okay, okay, don't talk about it."
Looking at the two women who were inexplicably confronting each other again, Duan Qing, who had a headache, hurriedly spoke out to instantly break the atmosphere that was gradually getting cold: "Anyway, everything has passed, and there won't be such a situation now, right?" β
"Let's find a way to get into the city." He pointed to the gate of the castle that was getting closer, and then took the lead in slapping his ass and stood up: "I don't know how far our reputation has fallen, it is better for us to hide in the carriage first." β
"We'll leave it to us to enter the city." The exile war song, who had already stepped out of the carriage and gradually slowed down, also smiled and turned around: "Just like last time, right?" β
"That's right, try not to reveal our existence." Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "Even if we are exposed, it doesn't matter......"
"As long as you can hide Violet's alone."
In the scene that gradually appeared as several players surrounded the carriage, the delivery van belonging to Duan Qing slowly blended into the nearby crowd of people who were also walking on this road, and the noisy atmosphere immediately suppressed the discussions that had often erupted in the carriage, and gradually returned to the state it was in when it first entered the town of Entair. Cautiously looking at the street scene in front of the carriage, Duan Qing, who was still lying near the door and window of the carriage, then took the figures of the soldiers guarding the city who were getting closer and closer into his eyes, and gradually filtered from his ears through concentrated spirit...... Oh, is it Duke Staragher? β
"Welcome to the castle."
Drawing his eyes back from the wanted lists attached to the wall, one of the Imperial soldiers standing at the entrance to the castle straightened up and said loudly, then nodded with a friendly smile to the rear of the carriage that had just passed in front of him.
"Please."
