Tania City, Congress Hall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Due to the war, the usual parliament was temporarily suspended, but for the same reason, it became the busiest place in the principality. Players passing by here can see countless members of the Duchy's military constantly coming in and out here every day, some with solemn expressions, others with anxious faces, as if the war ahead has once again appeared in crisis, as if the war has burned in front of their eyes. Many members of the parliament have expressed their opinion about the transformation of the council hall into a temporary command post, but most of those in power, including the president and many members of the parliament, have expressed their tolerance for this.

After all, the Empire has pushed the front line to the border of Etta County, and if the fortress of Fars is breached, then the next place may be Tania himself.

For many players in the principality, this should be considered a good thing, because the turbulent world gives players more opportunities to merge what they can play with the world of the great powers and reach new heights in their gaming lives. Helplessly, players in the free world still have a short time to grow, and most of the main players in the middle layer are now in their thirties, and they are still struggling at the bottom and middle levels of society, so they are often in a state of "no way to serve the country", and they want to contribute to serve the principality, but it is difficult to be accepted by the high-level of the principality. In the early days of the war, the principality's officials had opened up the battle participation system and recruited interested people, including adventurers, to join the army to participate in the battle, but at that time, the players were generally too low-level to be looked down upon by the principality's recruiting officials, and second, they also felt that this kind of recruitment was meaningless, and the situation in the principality was far less worrying than the Pamir Speaker thought, so they did not do their best. Until now, there is still no way for players to join the front lines of the Duchy through official channels - the Duchy wants to re-recruit capable troops, but unfortunately it is too late.

But just like Wings of Freedom, there are still players who can participate in such a big world event in the game.

Players who know each other, as well as old fritters who have been mixing in Tania for a long time, can see the shadows of the members of the rivers and lakes in those who come in and out. As the first guild recognized by the Alliance, they secretly competed with the Wings of Liberty here at the beginning of the game, and after winning the ruling power here, Jianghu naturally began to communicate with the high-level of the principality, thus logically breaking into the core of the principality's power. Today, the dominance of the rivers and lakes in Tania is quite the name of the first guild of their alliance, and in the capital of the principality, only the Sword of Justice can faintly compete with it for some power, but with the change of war, the original balance in the hearts of many players has begun to tilt towards their old rival in the past three years, the Wings of Freedom.

No matter how you look at it, this war is like revenge on the other side.

With their long-term development in Tania, Jianghu naturally intervened in this increasingly dangerous form of war, but unlike the Wings of Freedom, although they could not directly influence the arrangement of the principality in the war, they were more or less able to participate in the decision-making center of the principality, so as to know some core decisions, just as their members could enter and leave the council hall at this time - for the safety of the principality's front, the Pamirs twice canceled the routine meeting, and used this place as a temporary command post for the war, I've been sitting in this place for a few days now. Many of the staff members who gave advice also stayed here, and they did not even leave this place to eat and live, and together with the Speaker of the Principality, they kept an eye on the changes in the front line.

Although the probability is very small, if the principality is really defeated, the situation of the rivers and lakes in the free world can be imagined. And this is the main reason why they persuaded the sword of justice to join the resistance.

In the eyes of passing players, the situation today seems to be no different from the past, countless heralds in and out of the gymnasium-like building door, constantly passing the latest battle reports and internal orders, until a strange figure slowly appeared on the road in front of the door, and gradually walked towards the door, some players who are used to wartime emergencies, did not notice a trace of anomaly.

That woman's dress and temperament were too far from the rest of the people here.

The golden lines were wound around the blue robe, forming intricate patterns that spread all over the woman's body, and although the lines did not emit a dazzling magical light, they still reflected a dark golden light in the light of the sun. No one could see her appearance due to her hood, but the ornate robes and the elaborate staff encrusted with large sapphires in her hand were enough to tell those around her that she was a high-ranking mage.

Then, everyone, including the guards guarding the door, watched as she walked into the hall with her staff in hand, step by step.

The interior of the noisy and noisy conference hall in the past was also extremely busy at this time, with all kinds of office staff walking between their seats, from time to time delivering the latest news and reports of their own analysis, for the reference of many military ministers, including the speaker, ignoring the strange gazes of some people who had discovered the anomaly, the blue-robed woman walked straight into the door, and then walked to the front of the small square table in the middle - behind the small square table, the current speaker of the Principality of Elnifia, Pamir, Just put down a report on the analysis of the battle situation.

"...... you" he looked up and looked at the woman in surprise who was out of place with everyone present: "...... you?" ”

"I'm Christine." The woman placed the staff on her chest and made a mage's etiquette.

“...... I've heard of you. The Speaker of the Duchy was silent for a moment, and then reopened his mouth and asked, "So, one of the members of the Council of Seven came here to ...... What to do? ”

"I come with the sincerity and apologies of the Mage Council." The woman leaned over again and said, "I already have a little understanding of the current situation of the principality, and I think ......"

"You're going to need my help somewhere."

"As far as I know, the Council of Mages simply does not choose sides in the struggle of nations in the free world." The meticulous middle-aged man rubbed his sideburns with his fingers: "So...... Why did you, as a Council of Seven, make such a decision? ”

"Won't Fernando Wiggins take his anger out on you?"

"It's a decision of the Council of Seven, so there won't be the worries you might imagine." Christine's hood was still over her head, so no one could see her expression: "As for why this decision was made......"

"You'll find out soon." She whispered.

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

At night, Karon Pass is still brightly lit and on high alert, not only because of the importance of the pass, but also because of the attack that took place in the vicinity of the pass not long ago, so although there are not many defenders at the pass, the commander of the pass still strengthens all the defenses, ensuring that nothing like bandits will invade here again.

So camping in the vicinity of this is still very safe compared to the wilderness.

It's not that Duan Qing and the three of them don't want to rest in the hotel in Guannai, it's just that the little girl inexplicably threw herself into it during the afternoon shopping process, which caused their trip to be delayed, and when they wanted to cancel their trip and rest in the traveler's house instead, the innkeeper with a meaty face told them with a regretful face that the inn was already full of merchants who came and went.

So when the soldiers guarding the gate began to clear the field, all three of them were dumbfounded.

Fortunately, there seemed to be a lot of players like them - and it seemed that every day would not be less - Duan Qing and the others followed their example and set up camp on the side of the road not far from the gate. The official road leading to the heart of the principality seems to be spacious, and because it is properly constructed, it is a good place to camp for both safety and comfort. However, through general observation, Duan Qing also somewhat understood why the "bandits" chose this place to attack.

The reasons are all the same.

It didn't seem to be sad that the itinerary was disrupted, and Mengzhu still happily rummaged through the tent, shouting and talking with the nearby players from time to time. The little girl was not happy because she had the opportunity to sleep in the wild, but because in the previous Taobao, the three of them did get a lot of things, and they were of high quality. Because of these items and equipment, she didn't even care about the unhappy feeling of not being able to go to the destination she wanted to go in the afternoon.

Just like at this moment, she was sitting in a tent illuminated by the soft light, looking at the afternoon's harvest with great interest.

【Chain Mail (Fine)】

[Defense: Medium]

[Equipment Requirements: Strength 20, Agility 10]

【Strength +2】

[The armor made of unknown materials and small chains is so delicate that even the most skilled blacksmiths will be amazed.] However, due to its age, the armor is quite old and difficult to repair. 】

[Special Effect: Reduces the damage you take from hits.] 】

"I think what is mentioned in that description is more noteworthy than this special effect." Duan Qing sat down on the other side of the tent while pointing to the piece of equipment in her hand.

"Do you mean that this piece of equipment is prone to damage?"

"Probably, but it's good in terms of quality."

"Of course it's good!" The girl continued to say excitedly: "Something with attributes and special effects, at least it should be epic quality, right?" We were able to buy it here, and most importantly...... It's only 280 Ebri coins! ”

“...... Why don't I feel like I'm making a bargain in the slightest? Duan Qing covered his face, then looked at Xiao Hongchen on the other side and said, "And no one in our team can wear it." ”

"I don't wear it anyway." The latter immediately shook his head like a rattle.

"Hey, this thing is for you! You still don't have a top......"

"It's my genre! And...... This armor is so ugly......"

The girl's angry screams rang out from the tent, and then a shirtless man was kicked out, drawing sideways glances and snickering from bystanders.

"Look, there's another guy kicked out by his girlfriend."

"No, no, no, I think he wanted to mistreat his teammates, so he was beaten out......"

"How do you know? Do you know those people? ”

"I don't know, but the little girl came to say hello just now...... How could such a beautiful little girl have such a boyfriend! ”

"Dude, you're out of ......"

Ignoring the whispers around him, Mengzhu closed the curtain again, and then continued to check his catch: "In that case, then I'll leave it to others, maybe I can fish a tank or something for our adventure group......"

【Adamantite Dagger (Fine)】

[Weapon Power: Excellent]

[Equipment Requirements: Strength 10, Agility 20]

[Strength +1, Agility +2]

[Made of fine metal, mixed with some kind of pure gold, in addition to the sharp blade, it also has a hard blade, which is hard enough to break the teeth of the world's most ferocious beast.] 】

[Due to the scarcity of materials used to make them, there are very few items made of pure gold that have survived, and the craftsmen and skills to create such items have become increasingly rare. 】

"Although this dagger is very expensive and has no special effects, it ......" Mengzhu hugged the dagger and looked like he was about to cry: "I can finally change weapons!" ”

"Is it necessary to be so excited?" Duan Qing was on the side, looking helpless.

"It's something I've earned by hard work." Mengzhu showed a happy smile: "You with good equipment, it is impossible to understand......"

"Good equipment is not a necessity for fighting." Duan Qing immediately launched a rebuttal: "It can only be said that people with good equipment will have a higher winning rate, and the virtual game has developed to the present, and there is almost no battle situation that must be won......"

"Hush." The little girl narrowed her eyes: "I know, master, don't always remind me ......"

"Hey, I didn't mean that." Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "Otherwise, I'll give you my Phil short sword......

"Why didn't you give me Richard's?"

"Uh......" Duan Qing scratched his head in embarrassment: "That...... It's okay, but let me try it first......

"Nope! Yes! The girl reached out and snatched the black short sword from Duan Qing's waist, looked at it carefully for a while, and then threw it back: "Forget it, but you have to remember your words, as an uncle, you have to count when you speak......

Duan Qing shook his head with a wry smile, and then picked up the short sword on the ground.

【Black Serpent's Devouring (Epic)】

[Weapon Power: Excellent]

[Equipment Requirements: Strength 15, Agility 10]

[Strength +1, Dexterity +1]

[Special Effect: Your Deadly Attack Success Rate is greatly increased.] 】

[Special Effect: Your stab has a chance to inflict toxin damage on the target.] 】

[A black short sword made of unknown material, its body is highly poisonous, and has been eroded by countless blood over the years, making it even more bloodthirsty.] 】

[The wielders of this sword all fell into a murderous madness until the last master finally overcame the desire it brought and sealed it away until now.] 】

"This sword ......" put the sword away again, Duan Qing sighed helplessly. Thinking of the previous owner of this sword, and remembering the sloppy uncle's actions all along, he couldn't help but think about the question that he had been thinking about all the way.

What did that Richard do before......
