"I'm really sorry to let you ......"

"It's okay, at least we survived. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but ...... If there is a next time, I hope you will come sooner. ”

After learning about the safety of the merchants, the bald captain commanded the other men to collect the truckload and count the damage, while greeting the other people who were still alive. Except for the few non-combatants, the rest were adventurers like Duan Qing.

The losses of the convoy were not large, and the boxes that were smashed in the battle were already the only losses in this short battle. In addition to this, the situation ahead was not very bad when the battle broke out. The earth-shattering shouts of killing heard by Duan Qing and the others were just an illusion made by the bandits.

"It's their usual move. They use this method to a greater or lesser extent with each sortie, with the aim of creating a hole in our defenses and then snatching a few pieces of meat that will keep their few population alive for a little longer. In the process of reloading the rest of the goods into the car, the captain of the guard explained to Duan Qing.

"If their numbers are so small, then why ......"

"Because we have fewer people." The bald man smiled bitterly: "The lord of Xifeng County doesn't pay much attention to the southeast area, and the military forces assigned to this side are relatively small, even if it is a few of us......" He pointed to those subordinates who were busy, one of them was the coachman who drove the carriage from Duan Qing before: "I also have to make a temporary cameo appearance as a coachman, porter, and temporary trader......"

"If there were enough people, nothing like this would happen today...... Or rather, it won't be there for a long time. Kidd, with his hands on his hips, looked at the road in front of the convoy and exuded a sense of melancholy, but the expression of a powerful, heavily armed captain really made the others feel disobedient.

"These bandits...... Have you come across it a lot before? ”

"Yes." Kidd nodded: "Some rogues, criminals, and the idle ruffians in the neighborhood, they are the main force of these people. You can even find them in some towns, but in those places, you don't recognize them as the bandits who used to rob the way. ”

"So...... Furious? Won't the people of the principality care? Duan Qing exclaimed.

"Of course they ...... It won't matter. After Kidd finished saying this, he glanced at Duan Qing, looking like he wanted to say something, and finally patted him on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "The principality is such a country, and the local power in each region is different. As long as there is a benefit, someone will do it. As for those bandits, if they can survive here, they naturally have a reason to survive. You should be ......"

"You should think that this is the unique customs of Xifeng County." Kidd withdrew his hand, his face serious.

"It's really...... Very individual customs. Duan Qing laughed: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Oh, in a way, it's not hard." Speaking of fighting, the bald uncle was obviously excited: "Without those people, it would be difficult for me to train these guards!" ”

He waved his hand forward and pointed at the guards who were about to finish loading: "I think when I first brought them out of town, they saw the bandits one by one so frightened that they couldn't pick up their knives, you see ...... now."

As if remembering the battle just now, Kidd withdrew his hand with some embarrassment: "Ahem, in short, they are much stronger than before." I think those bandits are too weak now, so I can't come a few more people, so I can teach them to give them a good experience, what is a real warrior, hahahaha......"

"One of our adventurers ran to the front just now, and he hasn't come back yet......" Mengzhu, who ran from behind, interrupted Kidd's laughter: "Have you seen him, bald uncle?" ”

Kidd didn't care about the title of the bald uncle, because the little girl's question obviously stabbed at something difficult to say: "Uh, that reckless little guy ......"

He scratched his cheek with his fingers: "I wanted to rush up and fight just now, but I didn't hold him, and I was ......stabbed by that bandit leader."

Burst...... Duan Qing hurriedly turned his head and held back the laughter that almost burst out of his mouth - I said why I hadn't seen anyone for a long time, it turned out that I was hacked to death by someone.

As long as you hold on for a while, the battle will pass, and you have to go to the front to die......

"Ah......" Mengzhu stood in place for a long time before he understood the meaning of Kidd's words. Her big eyes blinked, looking at a loss, and finally looked at Duan Qing, who put on an indifferent face.

"Why, haven't you ever seen a dead man? One of our guards fell in front of us just now, did you forget it so quickly......"

"Well, that's different...... the little girl danced for a while, then lowered her head slightly: "Okay......"

"Hahahaha! Fearless of life and death, this is like a qualified adventurer! Kidd gave Duan Qing a thumbs up, and then walked away laughing: "Sure enough, it's the character that Val fancies......"

"I'm optimistic about you too!"

I don't want to be favored by you...... Looking at the back of the glittering armor, Duan Qing pursed his lips, and then walked towards the greeting from the rear - the whole assembly was complete, and the convoy was about to start again.

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

Although they didn't kill any of the bandits, Duan Qing and the others still gained some experience. It seems that these similar events are also an indispensable adventure for players in the Free Continent, just like what Duan Qing and Mengzhu encountered in the Emerald Forest, although they didn't have any material gains in the end, a lot of experience and novel experiences were extremely valuable.

Those things alone can be blown for half a year in the future.

However, after level 20, it is even more difficult to level up. From now on, players need to gradually learn to use the resources at hand, arrange the experience they can in a reasonable way, and preferably make full use of the commissions or missions received by the adventure party - this is the most efficient way for players in the free world who have been tested in various battles to level up.

Well, it's the most efficient way available, and it's better than finding monsters all over the world.

Looking at his character attribute panel, Duan Qing frowned, not knowing what he was thinking. The previous battle with Snow Spirit Phantom Ice in the forest forced him to use up the free attribute points he had been withholding, adding them to strength, and later in order to be able to use Phil's short sword, he had to add the remaining free points to agility. Therefore, now that he is level 20, there is no remaining point left in his body, and the possibility of future development direction has been exhausted, which is inconsistent with his usual habits and style.

But what he's thinking about at the moment is another aspect.

[Pick and Choose: A blow that can break through the opponent's defense. 】

[Power: 180%]

[Skill requirements: 10 points of strength, melee weapons.] 】

This is the skill he was prompted to comprehend when he fought off the bandit who broke into the gap. He put the description of this skill together with the previous skill descriptions, and after thinking about it carefully for a while, he still found a lot of problems.

Skill...... There is actually a demand? Also tied to property values? Is what Iron Ambition said before really correct? Picking and slashing and ordinary slashing are both slashing, what is the difference? Also, almost all of these skills require melee weapons, so what skills can other weapons comprehend? If I take a staff, it's possible to comprehend the spell? By the way, it seems that bows and arrows were seen in the previous battles, so how come there is no such thing as long-range weapons in the free world?

When I looked at the relevant materials before, I thought something was wrong, but in retrospect, it seems that I haven't seen anyone play a ranged class like archer in the free world......

Maybe it was because he knew that the uncle sitting on the side seemed to have some headache, and Yumetake didn't bother him - since he knew that the hundred miles alone had died, most of the other players who were still alive had fallen silent, and the smiling butcher uncle sat motionless in his seat, as if no one around him existed. Perhaps because of the infection, the lively little girl began to talk less, and it was not until the next morning, when she was about to reach her destination, that the atmosphere began to change.

Looking at the houses and green fields that began to grow around me, the people in the carriage began to move. Mengzhu lay on the edge of the carriage, while looking at the corner of Duan Qing's clothes: "Look at it, uncle, it's ...... outside."

"Oh, I know, isn't it just a town......"

"No, it's a beautiful town!"

"No matter how beautiful you are, can you be as beautiful as Finadas......"

"Huh? Where is Finadas? Is there this place on the free continent......"

“......”

Duan Qing didn't answer, because he knew that he had said something wrong.

Finadas was the capital of the elven forces in a game three years ago, and because of the completely exaggerated concept of the game and the fact that the whole elven city was full of all kinds of beautiful designs that lacked scientific evidence, it was shaped into one of the most beautiful cities in the entire game, and that city also became one of the most beautiful cities in the history of virtual games.

But that was the old yellow calendar three years ago, and the little girl in front of me probably hadn't heard of it......

"Your uncle, I'm a former pro gamer who has seen the big world, so nothing can scare me." In order to change the topic, Duan Qing simply and generously used Mengzhu's commonly used title of uncle: "Whether it's beautiful or ugly, thrilling or exciting......"

He stretched out his head and glanced ahead of the car, then retracted: "Whatever it is, as long as you see too much......"

"Hmmm......"

He stuck his head out again: "This town ......"

"It seems to be pretty good, too."

In front of the line of sight, there was still a dirt road. The yellowish color of the earth stretched straight forward, and then gradually evolved into a stone slab ground somewhere. Just in front of the convoy, the gray of the stone gradually spreads and then rises, evolving into the surface of an ancient town.

Then this picture continued to rise, and finally turned into a mountain city, which was reflected in Duan Qing's mind.

The gray slate turned cyan, green, red...... Houses of all kinds of stone line the surface of the hillside, and between them there seem to be a variety of unknown trees planted in them. Although they don't know the varieties and characteristics of each of these trees, at this moment, these trees are growing vigorously in the coming summer, just like Duan Qing knew.

Therefore, large and small flying flakes flew up from the mountain city over there along the mountain wind, and then sprinkled below, sprinkled onto the dirt road, and even some flew over Duan Qing's head and flew farther into the sky.

Duan Qing couldn't recognize what these flying flakes flying in the air were. They can be petals, tiny leaves, or real flocculents. But in any case, they are now combined to form a never-ending rain of flowers, bringing natural fragrance and beauty to all.

The hustle and bustle of people gradually became clear in Duan Qing's ears, and as the convoy approached, the streets in the town became clearly visible. It was all a street, layer by layer, that surrounded the hillside. The terrace-like structures also make it clear to pedestrians walking on the street. Duan Qing was even able to cross this long distance and see some pedestrians standing on the higher streets, holding on to the railings on the side of the street, looking at the approaching convoy under the city.

The wind dances and the flowers fly, and the railing looks at each other - the interweaving of man and nature tells the travelers who come here about the characteristics of this town.

"Whew......" Duan Qing involuntarily took a breath of fresh air, and then withdrew his gaze. Unexpectedly, I heard the little girl's proud voice: "Look, look, I didn't lie to you." ”

She leaned on the side of the car again: "What a beautiful place......"

The convoy slowed down and finally stopped. The driver in front, who was also a member of the escort, jumped out of the carriage and explained to the passengers in the carriage that the caravan was being inspected by the guards at the gate ahead, telling them to wait a moment.

Several players jumped out of the carriage and moved their numb muscles. The smiling butcher held his shield in both hands, and also stood to the side, moving his aching waist, looking at the town ahead, and showing a smile.

"Thank you." In his ears, the voice belonging to Duan Qing sounded: "The previous battle ......"

"Not necessarily." The bearded uncle interrupted Duan Qing's words: "It should be done." Even if it's to save my life, I'll do my best. ”

"Uncle's strength is very strong." Duan Qing didn't mind the silence of this uncle along the way, in fact, he cared about some other things: "I don't know if I've ever played a game like virtual reality before?" ”

"Oh, this......" somewhat understood what the other party meant, and the uncle laughed and said: "Coming to this new world, it takes a while to get used to it, and it's ......"

"I've got someone to make an appointment, and I'll meet in this town in front of me." The smiling butcher said.

"That's it......" Duan Qing showed a regretful expression: "Then later...... See you soon. ”

"Mm-hmm, see you soon."

After a brief exchange, everyone was ready to get into the car and enter the town - according to Kidd's explanation, it was better for them to sit in the car and enter, and the identity of the visitor from Greenstone Village could avoid the trouble of identity checking.

Before Duan Qing got into the car, he heard the noise ahead. The next moment, someone's shouting rang out at the city gates.

It must have been the voice of some gate guard, and the voice came to their ears through the tidbits of the sky.

"Travelers from Greenstone Village! Please take your luggage! Once you're in town, go to the mayor as soon as possible to register! Other precautions will be explained in detail at the registration desk! So ......"

"Welcome to Wind Flower Town!"

Amid the shouts, the convoy slowly started.
