The town of Anta in County Talon is a small town near the edge of Talon Boulevard. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe conditions here are the same as those in the novice village when the average player first enters the game, even if you have a lot of money, you can't buy anything useful, even if you wander the whole town, you can only find one or two places that sell things in the few streets that are there, and then find some local fruits and herbs in the same humble shops as Greenstone Village, and taste the local characteristics of the free world. However, players who come here will not ignore this place for this reason, in addition to the fact that there are several areas nearby where you can fight monsters and upgrade while enjoying the beauty of the plains, there is also an important reason why this place is located on the edge of Fars Fortress.

Every day, countless soldiers and merchants come and go to this place, along with countless players passing through it.

On January 4, 795 New Calendar, the appearance of the small town of Anta seemed to be no different from usual, countless caravans from the principality or from the empire passed through this place, and then stopped on the side of the road to rest in the onlookers of some adventurers, some of the goods may be bought by some of the local tyrant players, and most of the rest will be transported to various parts of the principality to be sold. However, many of these passing adventurers were not very interested in these goods, but took a short rest and then left the place in a hurry. There are players from all over the Principality who plan to go to Fars Fortress, as well as passers-by from the Empire who plan to wander around the Principality or go to the Free City.

Of course, there were also some people who had just come back from the fortress, and they were walking out of the town's inn with their heads down.

"He's meowing, I knew I wouldn't have left that bottle of medicine......"

"What's the use? It is estimated that he will die if he drinks it. ”

"At least one can fight to the death, right?"

"Hey, what kind of ability is drinking medicine...... When you look at the league cup games, how can anyone drink medicine in front of them? If you fight those Imperials, you have to kill them with dignity! ”

"Come on, you want to be upright, people don't want to be upright, what do you look like in the current ......way of the Khors Fortress?"

"Alas...... It was also a bit stupid at the beginning, and they slipped in so easily. ”

"The soldiers of the principality, how can there be no stupid, the only one who has some backbone is still strong, you see what kind of general, now he is still cowering in the infirmary......"

"Shh

The people were in a hurry, constantly entering and exiting the streets of the town, and on the endless plains, the people walking on the western avenue of the Avenue of Talons were almost in a straight line, and in the middle were mixed with carriages carrying goods, and they were constantly moving in their own directions. The player who had hurriedly stopped the other party before looked back and forth a few times, and then patted him on the shoulder: "Don't say it."

"What are you afraid of, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Who's afraid?" The man stalked his neck and whispered, "It's not ...... Let's talk about things, now is a special period, and people are also injured, so don't talk about him behind his back. ”

“…… Isn't there anything the principality has said until now? ”

"Nope." After the crisp answer, a fierce smile appeared on the man's face: "So what, they don't go, let's go by ourselves!" Even if you lose this number...... I can't make those guys in the Empire any better! ”

"Well said! When the time comes, count me in, and sooner or later you will have to settle the account together......"

"But...... Relying on us stragglers alone, it is estimated that we will not be able to kill a few imperial soldiers. ”

"What about the Broken Wind Thunder? What about Grayson? Where have they all gone? ”

"Of course I'm participating in the competition, I still need to ask ...... about this kind of thing."

"Hey, when they grabbed the land, they were all very active, and it was really time for the fight...... Hey? ”

The speaker suddenly closed his mouth, and his eyes stayed on a certain part of the road—several figures dressed as adventurers appeared at the end of the man's sight, and at the same time looked back and forth as they walked this way.

"What's wrong?"

"Look at those people......" the man's tone became hesitant: "Is it the ark?"

“……”

The eyes of the two people turned around a few times at the same time on the people who were walking in the distance, and the person who spoke before said in disbelief: "It's really them?" No way...... How did they get in? ”

"The fortress is like that now, how can it be controlled by the players to get in......" The face became extremely gloomy, and the player who noticed the abnormality touched the hilt of the sword on his waist, and then glanced at his companion: "Do you want to ......"

"Don't worry, let's take a look first."

The two of them turned a bend in the avenue, and then, as they were about to approach a few of their targets, they suddenly turned into the grass by the side of the road as if they were going to the bathroom, and hid behind a row of stone pillars that looked like street lamps. They waited quietly for a while, and then quietly re-entered the crowd, only this time, the direction they were traveling changed to the direction of the town.

In front of the two of them, several players of different shapes looked around at the nearby scenery, as if they were playing in the suburbs.

"Is there a ......?"

"Front...... Do you want to ......?"

"Wait a little longer......"

The casual conversation reached the ears of the two of them, their brows furrowed more and more, and the weapons in their hands were gradually pulled out. At a certain moment, several people in front of them quickened their pace as if nothing had happened, and then they all stuck to the side of a loaded carriage, and secretly surrounded the slowly moving carriage.

“…… Two, one, hands-on! ”

"What do you want to do—"

"Kill them all!"

"They're Imperial Dogs! Stop them! ”

"Leave those two stupid X's alone, ...... Yes! ”

Sensing the other party's secret movements, the two players who followed behind did not hesitate to pick up their own guys, and rushed towards the group that suddenly began to attack the carriage, and the battle broke out on the avenue in an instant, and the sound of swords and scolding between each other also sounded quickly, but after a while, these voices came to an abrupt end with a sudden burst of screams - the first two people to jump into the carriage slashed over a passenger sitting at the door of the carriage, and then lifted the curtain and rushed in, but within two seconds, They flew out with the sound of their fists being struck.

That's right, they all flew out.

The force slammed through the armor into their chests, and then blasted their bodies away like cannonballs, falling far down the road. The edge of the smashed carriage turned into scattered sawdust, shooting towards the figures of the other players outside the car, and before they could recover from the action of hugging their heads to cover, a rigid fist wind swept away the dust and grass clippings from the inside out, chasing the figures that the two men had just crossed and blasted past.

Boom -

"This ......"

"It's too weak."

In the stupor of the besiegers, a deep voice came from the depths of the carriage, then became clear with the appearance of the figure, and finally stood in front of everyone's eyes. Beneath his short black hair, a pair of vicissitudes of life half-squinted over everyone around the carriage, his fists slamming against each other in front of his chest, but his slightly stubble mouth gradually cocked into a mocking smile.

None of this, though, was a reason for him to catch everyone's attention—a scar appeared above the right eye of the face and then diagonally to the other side.

“…… Breaking the Wind and Thunder! ”

In the exclamations of the onlookers who were attracted by the sudden event, a name was slowly pronounced in the mouths of the two people who had caught up with him at first.

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

"So how did you deal with him?"

In the Adventurers' Association in Tania, Duan Qing, who was sitting in the hut, picked up a document on the table idly, and said helplessly: "You tell them that we can get these things, but ...... If you want to increase the price, I've also been to the Candora Canyon, where the earth elements are now piled up, and it is said that there is a lord-level monster, not to mention that you can't deal with it...... Even if the people from the rivers and lakes go, it's the same...... It's okay for us to lose a few lives, it's all about things...... We've got to make sure we get it. ”

"Alas......"

After talking for a long time, Duan Qing, who finally waved away the player with a deflated face, sighed helplessly, and then put down all the pages in his hand: "How could you come up with such a move and take on other people's tasks...... We can't do it ourselves, can we? ”

The head of the regiment said...... In this way, you can receive more high-quality tasks and get higher rewards. ”

"You can make more money...... Right? ”

"Yes." Ning Lan, who was standing behind him, nodded with a smile: "The head of the regiment said...... It's better than being idle in the association. ”

"The question is...... She doesn't care about these things! Looking at the pile of documents in front of him, Duan Qing rubbed his forehead painfully: "And why do you dare to take anything?" These tasks, these goals...... How can they believe you? ”

"Some time ago, Ning Lan and Miss Liuyu had already helped some adventure groups, so ...... Left behind some good names. The maid tilted her head a little cutely: "The head of the regiment said that a good start is half the success, and a good reputation is the beginning of success......"

"Stop, stop!" Duan Qing hurriedly made an interrupting gesture, and then quickly took out a few pages from the table: "Then please tell me, this, this, and this...... Which immortal sent these messy little tasks of finding people and things? Can't they handle these little cases on their own? ”

"Hmm...... These seem to be Xiao Hongchen's next. The maid examined it slightly, then smiled again: "He heard that those people had a lot of trivial tasks that could not be completed, so he took them all."

"So we're a garbage collection depot?" Duan Qing slapped the table and shouted, "I want to cancel Xiao Hongchen's right to undertake the task!" Let him stay here honestly! ”

"I'm sorry, sir." The maid bowed slightly, and then whispered, "According to the contributions of the team, your status is currently ...... It seems to be the lowest, so according to the rules set by the regiment commander......"

"Okay, okay, I got it."

Covering his face deeply, Duan Qing's dull voice revealed a sad feeling: "That's why I'm sitting here......"

After there seemed to be no end to time, last night's game was finally over, and Duan Qing, who was still unfinished, could no longer support it, but was still forcibly fighting Xue Lingphantom Ice sent off the line, and then walked out of the door in the dark night of the firelight, and then ...... I found the figure of the maid who had been waiting not far away.

"Captain...... I seem to be angry. These were her exact words at the time.

For the phenomenon of a breathable overnight, even if it is a tall person, it is difficult to explain it clearly, not to mention that there is a woman who stays here and discovers himself early. And according to Duan Qing's understanding of her, what happened during that time just now was probably relayed to Mengzhu by her a long time ago. The little girl who had disappeared didn't say anything about the matter itself, she didn't even leave a word in her friends list, but after she re-launched, she announced a lot of new team policies, and arranged Duan Qing, who was rated as the "worst player" because of her lowest contribution, to this extremely boring position of guarding the home to take on tasks.

"This is punishment for not participating in the event well!" The little girl said.

"God's meowing watching the game is also an activity!"

After reading a few useless pages randomly, Duan Qing spread his body onto the small table in front of him: "When I first came to Tania, I also made a lot of commissions!" Why aren't those counted, but the games during this time...... One is higher than the other! ”

In the smile of the maid in the back, Duan Qing, who seemed to complain, waved the page in his hand: "What participation points, end points, and field points!" It's not that we play, so what does it matter if we watch a few games? The most annoying thing is that there are betting points...... Oh my God, this is clearly encouraging members to throw money out, okay? ”

"The head of the regiment is such a person, Mr. Aoyama...... You know that too. couldn't help but cover the corners of her mouth, and whispered Ning Lan continued: "If you want to adapt to the life of the adventure group, you should adapt to the temperament of the group leader, this is what Mr. liked to say in the early days."

“…… You remember that, too. Duan Qing, who was lying on the table, was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said.

"Wasn't there more strange rules like this a few years ago?" The maid smiled and said, "Instead of complaining about this, it is better to complete a few more tasks and ...... Try your best to reverse your image in the mind of the regiment commander. ”

"This shouldn't be a problem for Mr. Aoyama." She clenched her fists and retracted them in front of her chest playfully, which was considered to be cheering for the other party.

"It's easy to complete the task...... "Helplessly flipping through the pages in his hand, Duan Qing re-found it in the pile of messages left by the players: "But it's difficult to do such a thing as reversing the image...... Hey? ”

His hand stopped somewhere, and then he slowly lifted a small note in a very different style from the pages of the books that had been commissioned: "This is ......"

"This is what Xiao Hongchen brought back before."

Glancing at the things in Duan Qing's hand slightly, Ning Lan smiled again, but along with it, her eyes gradually became sharper: "It was something that someone else gave him......

On that note, it said something like this.

"To Mo on the green mountain."

"There will be a carriage back to the city today, and I hope you will answer it secretly at the west gate."

"The pay is arbitrary."

"Breaking Wind Thunder." (To be continued.) )
