313 Reasons to go it alone
"What? Pamir attacked? ”
At the foot of the mountain, on the edge of a clear lake, rows of wooden houses are arranged on the central shoal by the clear lake water, and in the endless stream of people, there are constantly players entering and exiting the inside and outside of this wooden house, and at the same time in mutual greetings and greetings, exchanging each other's new round of information and intelligence, enjoying the fun of this night's game - this area called Hongshui Lake is the scene of the latest round of game uniforms, although the players who come and go here, the number of people is so large that it seems to squeeze the shallows in the middle of this lake, But in fact, the number of players participating in the tournament has been reduced by more than half compared to yesterday, and most of the remaining people who came to this area have been transformed from participants in a team competition into spectators playing soy sauce and watching the excitement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, members from various teams and guild forces still account for most of the participating players, but many of them don't pay all their attention to the game itself at this time.
For example, the man in the golden armor in front of him - the current president of the Sword of Justice, Comrade Gragerson.
"When did this happen?"
In the gap between the man's eyes and thoughts, a certain warrior player sitting next to him asked urgently, "Is it something that just happened?" How come we didn't get the message......"
"No, the news...... It's been about two days. The player, who was facing away from the door of the hut, lowered his head and replied, "I heard that the people of the council were afraid of causing panic, so they kept it down and didn't say it......"
"Bastard! They're not afraid ......."
A hand suddenly reached out in front of the warrior player, blocking his next words: "It's okay, as long as they still want to tell us." ”
Looking at his subordinates' still hanging heads, Grayson's eyes gradually drifted to the roof: "What about the Speaker's injury, how is it now?" ”
"At least it's not life-threatening." The player replied, "Although he was unconscious for two days, he was not injured again, so there is no major problem at present, and the murderer of the attack is currently under investigation......"
"Didn't get hurt again? Where did he get into trouble? ”
"I heard...... I heard that it was on the outskirts of the Fars Fortress......"
"Fars Fortress? How did we not know? When will he ......"
"Okay uncle, don't pursue these things."
Lowering his raised hand, Grayson's voice fell silent again as the temperature in the cabin dropped, and even the other players who had been sitting at the next table discussing the prospects of the League Cup closed their mouths with some amusement. It wasn't until the knight player sitting next to him twisted his body a little uncomfortably that the golden god of war-like guild leader slowly spoke again: "Jianghu ......"
"Our allies...... What did they say? ”
"Back to the elders, they ...... They didn't seem to say anything. ”
"I remember the first two days and their teams were playing well, right?"
As Gragerson turned his head, Chestnut, who was sitting on the other side, nodded slowly: "Yes, except for the opening ceremony of the team competition yesterday, their games are very clean and neat, and almost all of them are completely victorious......"
"Yesterday's opening battle...... They actually played very cleanly. Grayson shook his head slowly: "At most, it's just a little tired of breaking the wind and thunder...... Hum. ”
A cold snort came out of his nose, and the warrior in golden armor straightened his body slightly: "That old guy...... Probably didn't tell us. ”
"They do it...... It seems a little unauthentic. The mage's dusty moon smiled and spoke: "You actually deceived us......"
"It's not a deception, it's just that we weren't informed." The other warrior player, who was standing in the corner looking out at the lake, smiled heavily, and then slowly turned around: "And...... We are not from other people, so why should people report everything to us......"
"Aren't we allies? This basic kind of intelligence sharing should always be done, right? And it's such a big deal......"
"So what? Do you want them to come to our door and tell us? Are you used to being an uncle outside......" The man in the corner pulled a sword flower, but the smile on his face became even more unbeaten: "Not all guilds have to accommodate our sword of justice, not to mention that it is a river and lake, what do you think you are......"
"What did you say!?"
"Don't make a noise."
The dull voice like thunder sounded suddenly, suppressing the tension that the two people wanted to give birth to just now, only to see Grayson, who was sitting in the center, opened his eyes, and his fierce eyes were staring at the calm lake outside the wooden house: "Xiang Ye is right, this matter should not be counted on the head of the rivers and lakes, after all, ...... Such news is not daring to be made public in anyone's hands. Just look at the performance of those NPCs, they ......"
He looked at his teammates around him, and finally focused his gaze on the subordinates who reported at the main entrance: "Like us, we are all worried about the future of this country. ”
"If the Pamir falls......" After a long pause, a deep voice read out some possibility behind the news: "What should we do?" ”
"He's X, the last time he herded sheep and said that he would send more people to keep an eye on the Speaker's proposal, we should pass it......"
"What's the use of that, we don't even know the news that the speaker went to the fortress......"
"So the hedgehogs should have taught a lesson a long time ago! I don't usually know what I'm busy with, and I can't even inquire about such news......"
"Come on, the principality is more secretive, who is so powerful that he can find out all the news......"
"Let's just say that our focus seems to be out of direction."
In the whispers of the surrounding members, Chestnut, who was sitting on the side, whispered: "We have been investigating the movements of the empire, but I didn't expect that someone on our side would take the initiative to send the chess pieces to the door, and it is a chess piece as big as the Speaker......"
"That's what you say...... Did the Empire do it by default? ”
"No one dares to say this until the investigation is clear." Chestnut whispered: "And ......"
"I guess the people in the principality haven't figured it out yet."
"Oh?"
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have kept the news to themselves, but would have taken this opportunity to declare war on the Empire a long time ago." Chestnut analyzed: "This is the best opportunity to unite people's hearts and make a counterattack, even the nobles who have been opposing it, it is probably difficult to put forward any opinions......
"Well, that makes sense." Grayson nodded, then smiled helplessly, "And then?" Don't know what the results are good for us? ”
"At least we're not lagging behind."
Knocking on the blade of his sword, Chestnut's gaze fell on the crowd that was still flowing outside the door: "Since the attack on the speaker has developed to such a state, it shows that we haven't fallen much behind, at least we still have so many members, and we have a huge network of connections, as long as we can take advantage of the current state of the principality that no one is the leader, and become the leader of the dragons, we can re-intervene in the entire battle situation and grasp the initiative in this war." But ......"
"The crux of the matter lies in what the rivers and lakes refuse to say...... Itself. ”
“…… What do you want to say? ”
"They've been working alone, and there's got to be a reason." Chestnut lowered his head and thought: "Either they want to monopolize the credit, which is almost impossible, because the current principality has no more room for their development; Either they are afraid of getting into trouble, so they want to watch the fire from the other side, which is also very likely, because this is equivalent to giving up all their previous efforts to break the wind and thunder...... He couldn't do anything like that. ”
"The remaining possibilities...... That is, they want to carry the burden alone. Chestnut raised his head and looked into the eyes of the Golden Armor Warrior: "Judging from their performance in the past two days, the actual situation seems to be more in line with this possibility. ”
"Why?" The warrior in the corner held the hilt of his sword and joined the discussion at the table: "What reason do they have for doing this?" ”
"There are many reasons for this." Chestnut said in a deep voice: "But after all, it all comes down to one aspect-"
"What's the reason, let them do it themselves...... It's better than doing it together. ”
“…… I understand. ”
The pupils of his eyes gradually tightened, and Grayson, who had lowered his head and thought for a while, exhaled a long breath: "So...... Let's do the same. ”
"Stygian, go tell our people......" he looked back at the door, and at the same time instructed the players standing in the doorway waiting, "Nothing happened today." ”
“…… Be. ”
"Tell the hedgehog the news, let him take someone to investigate, I don't care what we find, but I can't let people see what we're investigating...... Do you understand? ”
"Yes."
"One notice to everyone." Saying this, Grayson turned his head and glanced at the others in the cabin who were listening with bated breath: "Those of you who are still competing, you can sharpen your hands and feet today, we are short on time, we will move at any time, I don't want to ...... when I need someone You're still playing hide-and-seek with your opponents inside. ”
"Yes."
"Dusty and waning moon, what time is our game?"
"It's hard to explain this kind of thing." The mage player patted his robe and waved the screen in front of him at the same time: "It will probably be two hours later, but the exact time is not certain......"
"Whew...... Then we can't go yet. ”
Re-arranged, Graeson looked at the subordinate in front of him and continued, "Then let you check it first, remember...... Don't give out any news unless you have to, even if you're a regular member! The current principality ......"
"There's a good chance it's been turned into a sieve."
The silence in the room lasted for a while in a temporary pause, in stark contrast to the lively scene on the shallows outside the house, but the eyes of the golden armored warrior passed over the subordinate who was blocking him and put it on the audience who was running back and forth outside: "Broken Wind Thunder, Broken Wind Thunder, it is also a shame that you can calm down, and it was the same last time...... Well? ”
His eyes froze, and then shifted for a moment as several players suddenly passed by outside the small door: "...... just now"
"What's wrong?"
“…… It's nothing. Grayson shook his head, but the body that wanted to stand up just now slowly sat back again, but the knight player who noticed his movements suddenly stood up, ran to the door of the hut, and then stretched out his bald head and looked in the direction of the crowd for a long time: "Who is who, who just passed?" ”
"You don't know."
The man in golden armor chuckled and shook his head: "And ......"
"Even if he's standing in front of you now, you probably won't recognize him."
****************************
At the same time, Duan Qing, who had just been let go of someone's eyes, was clasping his hands, and kept persuading his regiment leader: "Okay, okay, don't be sad, didn't you just smoke a little bit of equipment?" As the saying goes...... None of the equipment that can be sold is junk equipment. ”
"It's a nice saying, how can there be such a saying?" The little girl pouted and retorted, "You said it yourself, right?" ”
"Mao, as long as you have been the head of the regiment, you will say so." Duan Qing said with a smile: "When you get used to it in the future, you will say the same." ”
"Humph!" So the little girl still shook her head dissatisfiedly: "Anyway, this time it must be a loss, and it is a saber, it is obviously a street goods...... We've spent a whole thousand gold coins! ”
"How many times have I told you, don't always focus on quality." Duan Qing sighed and pointed to the long-handled knife that was carrying Xiao Hongchen's back at this time: "As long as it's easy to use, even the whiteboard equipment is a good thing, look at that weapon...... As a high-quality equipment, it actually comes with two special effects, two special effects! Although the first one is almost a ...... sent"
"I'm just upset anyway." Mengzhu jumped and said: "The one that you criticized last time was bad enough, but I didn't expect this time to be as good as the last ......time."
"Don't talk about it, this weapon you got this time...... It's not necessarily much worse than that popsicle. Patting Xiao Hongchen on the shoulder, Duan Qing hurriedly analyzed: "Whether it is power or practicality, this weapon is much better, you see how happy Xiao Hongchen is to use it, right?" ”
In the end, he squeezed his eyes at Xiao Hongchen, as if to signal the other party to say something, and this time Xiao Hongchen seemed to understand Duan Qing's intentions, and immediately shouted excitedly: "That's right! How long has he been meowing, and labor and management have finally changed weapons! You landlords, bullies, and lackeys of the imperial court know every day that you are exploiting us people in the rivers and lakes, and you have done so many tasks, not only do you have to hand over your salary, but you don't even give you decent weapons...... Woooooooo ”
"Shut up." Stretching out his hand to cover the other party's mouth, Duan Qing looked at Mengzhu, whose face was getting darker and darker, and laughed dryly at a loss: "Ahahaha, in short...... This piece of gear is definitely for him, absolutely! ”
"Well, I look like it fits perfectly."
In the snickering laughter of the maid in the back, Mengzhu, who had a black face, finally nodded, and then let go of his facial muscles: "That's it, I can't draw good things this time, I will definitely draw it next time, it must be like this!" Otherwise...... That shop is a black shop! ”
"People are originally black shops......
Duan Qing muttered, then stretched out a hand and responded slightly awkwardly in a certain direction in front of the crowd - a long-haired blue woman wearing a short armored thin sword with her hands on her hips was standing firmly in front of the mountain-like team, at the door of a certain hut by the shallows, and seeing the figures of Duan Qing and several people, she finally removed a conspicuous missing person flag on her shoulder, and at the same time took off her tense face.
"You're late." She smiled confidently, then said angrily.
