1657 Choosing the Path

"We didn't tell them your whereabouts."

Once again, night fell into the breezy makeshift camp, accompanied by the sound of more and more iron horsemen shaking the ground nearby, and the flags erected around the camp also flew farther away with the spread of these horses' hooves, and gathered on the edge of the grassland and the night with the uneasy eyes of a large number of foreigners, including the Nasu. Like an abyss that swallowed everyone's sight, the dark edge of the meadow in the distance seemed to become more and more terrifying in the heavy night, Duan Qing, who was watching all this, then turned back to himself with a heavy sigh, and comforted Naxia, who was sitting at the door of the tent and wrapped herself in a blanket, with an indifferent tone: "I'm sorry to worry you, but this meeting is necessary, please believe us too." ”

"Of course I believe you." Her gaze and expression were still a little dull, and Naxia's black messy hair was slowly fluttering in the breeze at this time: "Even the Bagren family, I don't resent them, anyone who is willing to take me in at this time will get my unconditional trust, even if you will betray me in the end." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ We're not going to do that. Furrowing his eyebrows deeply, Duan Qing quietly gave a look to Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side: "This has nothing to do with the sense of justice, compassion or the greed of adventurers, we just want to decide what to do after knowing the truth, after all, we are still a group of normal people, and normal people are not willing to be used as guns by others at will." ”

"Let's, let me be quiet, okay?" As if she understood the meaning of the other party's words, Naxia's originally lost expression became more hesitant at this time: "I, I may not have slept well just now, my head is a little messy now, so-"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You're scaring people again. ”

Looking at the scene of the woman who looked like a fairy flower but was pale at the moment and disappeared into the tent, Xue Lingphanta secretly let out a sneer: "How old are you, and you still like to flirt with other little girls." ”

"She's probably not as young as we seem, maybe that's a thing." What answered her was Duan Qing's sigh when he stood up: "And I'm not very old, do you like to treat me as someone like an uncle?" ”

"I like it." She straightened her nose like a coquettish, and the expression on Xue Ling's face with her hands on her hips then regained her calm and seriousness: "Okay, don't talk too much about it, there are still very important things waiting for us to decide." ”

"I know." Nodding at the other party, Duan Qing, who also put away his jokes, then whispered to Gedemayne, who had been guarding the tent for a long time: "Call Dongsheng, it's almost time." ”

"We have to decide where we go."

With a snap of his fingers, he spilled the flames on the campfire not far from the tent, and the flames and smoke from the flames and smoke then carried the players' scattered backs, gradually dispersing the darkness that enveloped them. The appearance of belonging to the rising sun and the east was also accompanied by the pull of Gedmayne and returned to the side of this temporary camp, and the originally dissatisfied look was quickly attracted by the barbecue turned by Duan Qing's own hands, and the goods and booty all over the ground were also scattered around the bonfire where the discussion gradually began with the action of these people gathering here for the fourth time: "I don't need to say more about the situation and current situation." ”

"There are about three paths ahead of us." Putting down the food at hand, Xue Ling Phantom Ice took the lead in expressing his opinion: "The conservative approach is: continue to stay in the camp of the Nasu tribe, and wait for the situation to change together with the Wabu tribe, the Lufin Chamber of Commerce and others, until the situation becomes clearer before making plans." ”

"Although compared with the entire Hulun clan, our combat strength is obviously insufficient, but the advantage is that we will not take the wrong path." Gedmayne on the side also nodded: "If you choose the wrong path because you helped the wrong person, it is almost impossible to go back." ”

"That's right, no matter which side you help, there is a risk." Taking a deep breath, Duan Qing turned to the tent behind him: "For example, this Miss Nahia we have hiddenβ€”if there is any problem with her identity, we who easily believe in her may also be easily thrown into the bottomless abyss." ”

"This is the biggest hidden danger of this road at the moment: Naxia's identity background is obviously problematic." It was still Xue Lingphantasm Ice who said this: "Don't be deceived by her beautiful and weak appearance, the person with these appearances is not necessarily an angel, not to mention that the void power we guessed before has not yet appeared, and the Hulun clan may not be the source of the void that we have determined." ”

"Through the previous explanation of the Hulun people, we have a little bit of understanding of the background of the Hulun people." Duan Qing slapped his arm: "In comparison, there are more mysteries on Nahia's body, and without these key information, it will be difficult for us to form trust in the true sense." ”

"Actually, you don't have to think about it so much, it boils down to a simple situation." Still nibbling on the barbecue in his hand, the rising sun seemed to be speaking in a squeezed voice: "Actually, our reputation and the key clues we have obtained are not enough to trigger the super hidden mission on this Nahia, aren't they?" ”

"That's right, this is the second day of our official relationship with her, and the relationship can't be said enough to be entrusted with the final task." Gedemaine nodded his head in agreement: "On the other hand, the task on the Hulun side was triggered by us. ”

"What do you think of this commission that Humopo has given us?"

He took out the brand-new scroll that had been handed to him by the elder of the Hulun clan before, and his eyes were once again on Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing: "Is it possible to succeed in this third way?" ”

"That's the biggest reason why we have to hold this discussion urgently." Xue Lingphantom Bing replied with a calm face: "No matter what the process is, we can be regarded as having reached some kind of balanced condition within the Hulun clan, and since Hu Mopu has chosen to hand over this task to us, we naturally have the right to choose them. β€œ

"Stand on the side of the Hulun people and believe their words...... ? Duan Qing lowered his head heavily: "Relying on words and courage to forcibly hold out this line, it doesn't look so stable now, not to mention that we have left a key point on the opposing lineβ€”β€”"

"If she chooses to do so, of course Nahia can't ask for it." Asahi Dongsheng, who was gnawing on barbecue, rolled his eyes: "I also think that female NPC is very pleasing to the eye, but when there is no way, there is naturally no way, there is no way, there is a sacrifice to have it." ”

"Look, what an honest and realistic man." So Gedmayne also smiled wryly and pointed to the one-armed warrior's face: "Although what he said is indeed reasonable, when the more obvious benefits are in front of us, those clues that are still unknown become less important." ”

"According to the general game design, the more difficult the task to trigger, the higher the reward will be obtained in the end."

Rubbing his hands, Duan Qing whispered to the others present: "Of course, this does not mean that this line on Nahia can really get a more useful reward in the end, it is not certain that she has any big secrets, but this choice in front of her is indeed related to the fate of many people, especially Nahia's own life and death." ”

"Do we really want to fight for the Hulun clan and at the same time give up this woman's fate?" He looked at all his teammates with scrutinizing eyes: "Isn't there a better option?" ”

"What, you still want them all?" The first to speak out was the rising sun with rolling eyes: "Please, if we are as strong as the Hulun tribe now, you can ask for as much as you want, but who makes it difficult for us to protect ourselves now!" We don't have the ability to choose them all. ”

"That's why we've listed all three paths." Xue Lingphantom Bing on the side crossed his arms and nodded: "Waiting for nothing is also a mean in a sense, maybe we can find a more critical entry point in the future development of the situation, butβ€”β€”"

"It's just that the Su side is now in a very weak position, including us, and having the power to play a role at a critical moment in the future is what needs to be done urgently." Duan Qing nodded his head: "So we still have a fourth way." ”

"Let's split up." He gradually picked up a charred wooden branch in the campfire, and began to make a constant gesture on the grass: "Gedmayne, the negotiation is still up to you, you are the representative of the mission information exchange with the various forces, as the representative of our adventure group, it should be more than enough." ”

"As for the Hulun side...... Over to you, Brother Dongsheng. His voice hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again under the staring of Xue Ling's phantom ice: "You just go to the Hulun clan to report, anyway, you seem to be very suitable for this identity and image." ”

"What nonsense! Does Lao Tzu look so rebellious? Throwing the barbecue stick in his hand to the ground, Asahi Dongsheng pouted and protested loudly: "Why don't you two go?" ”

"Because we have other ways to go." Saying this in a low voice, Duan Qing winked at Xue Lingphantom Ice: "She is responsible for continuing to appease Nahia and see if I can find the last clue from her, and I-"

"I'll go find the missing Surtu." The gray-robed magician twisted his neck: "I have such an intuition. ”

"The key point to break the game may be on my way."

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

The next day, before the sky was bright, the figure belonging to Duan Qing slowly set off in the direction of the interior of the Hulun clan, he used a simple introduction and some money to get through the clan guards who were not yet fully awake, and then smoothly returned to the vicinity of Apollun, which belonged to the center of this settlement: "Okay, there is less than a day before the commission comes true. β€œ

"Hopefully, it's still too late." He shrunk his shabby and ancient gray magic robe, blocking the coldness that had gathered in the early morning out of his body: "In this situation in front of you, the biggest clue that can be unearthed is only this one...... This gentleman, I am an adventurer of the Qingling Adventure Group, have you seen Surtu? ”

"He is the patriarch of the Nasu tribe who just moved here recently, and he attended the Hulun banquet the night before...... Hey? You said you saw me two days ago? Wait a minute, I wasn't looking for someone at that time and I'm looking for now - hey! ”

"Hey, forget it...... This lady, have you ever seen Surtu? ”

The seemingly futile inquiries and searches soon became blocked by the few hurried Hulun clansmen who were gradually disappearing, and the serious atmosphere also made the suspicion of him on the faces of everyone who was pulled by Duan Qing more obvious, and a group of tribal soldiers then rushed over with the shouts of some of the passers-by, and soon drove Duan Qing, who was begging for mercy and suffering, out of the area. He had already expected that his trip would not go well, and the gray-faced gray-robed magician naturally did not give up so easily, he kept swaying back and forth under the vigilant eyes of the soldiers of the other patrolling tribes, and only after a while did he abruptly stop a carriage transporting goods passing by: "Hey! Feed! Sorry to excuse me! ”

"Who are you?" almost crashed into Duan Qing's body, and the coachman of the carriage who braked urgently raised his reins: "Don't rush out suddenly, it's very dangerous!" ”

"Remember me? We just met two days ago. Pointing to his chest, Duan Qing, who didn't care about this, then stood next to the carriage with his own smile: "I'm Linyuan Broken Water, Mr. Bagren." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's you? As if he had recognized the identity of the person in front of him, the coachman's expression became even more suspicious: "What are you looking for?" You shouldn't-"

"I'm sorry, I'm looking for someone again." Just as he didn't notice the expression of the coachman in front of him, Duan Qing raised the adventurer's manual in his hand to himself: "But this time I'm looking for the patriarch of our Sioux tribe, his name is Surtu, I don't know if you have seen this person in the past few days?" ”

"What about the Sioux Surtu?" Forcibly calming his mind, the coachman known as Bagren replied with a throat: "Isn't that one of the people who had been to the banquet the night before?" ”

"You, you know him?" Somewhat surprised by the other party's answer, Duan Qing clapped his hands with great joy: "You also know about that banquet?" Do you know where he went after he broke up? ”

"I didn't send him, but another foreign elder." Shaking his head, Bagren subconsciously answered Duan Qing's question: "But in my impression, I seem to have seen him leave." ”

"I guess it's along this path."

He pointed in the direction behind Duan Qing with some uncertainty, and at the same time replied hesitantly.
