126 To live, to die
The capital of the Frey Empire, Redcar. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
As one of the more famous neutral organizations in the Free Continent, the Mage Council, the Warrior's House, and the Adventurer's Guild have branches in various parts of the empire and the principality, and Redkar is no exception. However, since it is located in the capital of the empire, the conditions, facilities and manpower here are basically the best on the mainland, for example, the highest decision-making organization of the Mage Council, the archmage Fernando Wiggins, the head of the Council of Seven, lives somewhere in Tania City, and the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild is located in Redkar's city, and the president of the Guild, Anman Thiel, also guards here all the year round, overseeing all the affairs of the adventurer associations around the world.
Therefore, the resources in the big cities make countless players rush to them, but in the end, the only people who can grab the territory here are those who are strong. Arashiyama is one of these strong men.
Many old fans of Arashiyama were actually not very satisfied with the status quo of the old guilds they had supported for so many years, not only because they fell to the sixth place in the league's overall strength rankings, but also because they chose Redkar as their guild's permanent residence at the earliest - you must know that in the early days of the free world game, few high-ranking guilds would choose this imperial capital featuring **** rule, although this is the location of the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild, However, the repressive ruling environment of the empire has also often hindered the president of Amman in every way, making it difficult to play the liberal essence of the adventurer group. In addition, Redkar is located in the middle of nowhere, and the place where the novice was born was relatively far away from here at the beginning, so few guilds are optimistic about the development prospects of this place, and even the second-ranked Wings of Freedom only came to this place after being driven out of the city of Tania in the middle of the continent.
However, now they have taken advantage of the east wind of the empire and plan to go back to take revenge. Many small and medium-sized guilds and forces also saw the difference in strength between the empire and the principality, and planned to take advantage of this war and earn every ounce of confidence for the growth of their guilds in the future.
However, not all guilds will choose to take advantage of this opportunity to get a piece of the pie, Arashiyama is a typical example of this, not only because of their own strength and long-term development in the area, but also because their president Cangyun Barrier is determined to achieve a good result in the upcoming League Cup and re-prove the strength and dignity of their old guilds.
As a veteran player, he is too old, and this is probably the last chance that time has left him.
Before the war between the empire and the principality broke out, Cangyun Barrier had made a lot of training plans for this year's League Cup, and although the specific rules of the game in the free world had not yet been determined, he also made a lot of preparations to deal with the various tournament mechanics that might come, as well as the various changes that would occur in the game world. The subsequent developments in the free world confirmed that this veteran player, known as a shield warrior, was as prepared as far-sighted as the Battle of Merred Valley, so in this war between the empire and the principality, the Arashiyama Guild has also become one of the most affected alliances in the top guilds.
Many old fans who have taken the status quo into account are delighted that they are not moving, and at the same time, they are sad about their determination as always - three years of fighting, three years of perseverance, if it is about the degree of effort, who can compare to their old president, but even a veteran Arashiyama old viewer and old fans have to admit that the final three years ago was the closest Arashiyama has ever had to win the championship.
But the old president in their hearts still hasn't given up.
After completing the two hundred chops scheduled for noon, the sweaty cloud barrier casually threw the exercise in his hand on the ground with a machete, and walked to the seat next to the square to rest. This small square is a place that was officially assigned by the empire at the beginning of their establishment of the guild station in Redcar, and it is also regarded as one of the benefits of the earliest establishment of the adventure group station here, although the area is not large, but when they took over, it still retains the architectural features of the imperial aristocratic style, all kinds of statues, flower carving totems, and the design of vegetation columns, showing luxury while also losing the atmosphere and calmness of being a nobleman. However, this place was immediately located by the president of Arashiyama for their usual training grounds, and the redundant buildings and furnishings were also demolished, and replaced with various training equipment and places for the daily training of the guild members. To this day, there are many Arashiyama members who come here to train, but none of them are more diligent than their elders.
Naturally, the bench that had been sat on very old became a special seat for the Cangyun Barrier.
"President, this is the report of the past two days." Seeing this, a junior brother who had been waiting next to him for a long time handed the information he had been holding for a long time to the chairman who was drinking water: "There is still ...... All directions have wiped out, so I have a letter with me, saying that I will not come back today. β
"What, what's wrong with the mine to the west?"
β...... There was a dispute with several guilds, but ...... He said it could be solved. The player hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth.
"Hmph, I told him to stop a little after this time......" Picking up a towel next to him, he wiped his face carelessly, and Cangyun Barrier brought the page to his eyes: "These grumpy young men know to make trouble for us all day long. β
"If I can't make a result this year, see how I clean ......them up," he muttered, and began to turn page by page: "Hmm, the front line of the empire is advancing again, hum, you can't do it with the wind and thunder, ......"
"Second in the world...... Went to Liberty City? He touched his chin: "It's kind of interesting...... You go, tell Zhao Liu'an, let him send a few people to the Free City to feel the situation, see how they are developing, and if there is any information about the arrangement of the second game in the world......"
"President, none of our brothers are very good at intelligence work......
"That's why I asked Lao Zhao to go, and the faΓ§ade of the man is bigger...... Go, go, go. β
After the younger brother ran away, the bare-backed strong man continued to flip through the pages.
"The Borderlands and Devil's Land are also in Free City...... Ha! Dog-eat-dog...... Regardless of them. β
"Well, Tebama is still the same, this year...... I'm going to clean you up. β
"Wings of Freedom's Personnel Transfer...... A team split? Ha, that girl seems to have been hollowed out, and all the people under her have dispersed...... She ran away? Aren't you going to participate in the competition? It's a pity, it's a pity...... Liangchen Meiyu? Who is this......
"Jian Beidong ran to Fenghua Town to fight alone...... Hmph, a sword master, there is nothing to be done if you become a wild man......"
"The Water Mage of the Council of Seven appeared...... Appeared in the parliament of Tania...... Well, the parliament ...... Well? β
As if thinking about the meaning of the information in front of him, and as if thinking about other questions, his mind became clogged for a moment, and it was like a pot of porridge that was short-circuited by agitationβand the next second, the big man sitting on the bench suddenly clenched his hand as if he had woken up from a dream, and crumpled the pages in his hand.
The next moment, he let go of his big fan-like hand and retrieved the previous page he had turned before.
"Stone roads, big pits, earthquake attacks...... It's a shield, and it's unprepared......," he muttered, "This attack, this attack ...... effective"
"Old Qin! Lao Qin! He suddenly shouted, then pointed to the rest of the guild members who were training as they looked over in fright: "Don't be distracted! Then you practice...... Lao Qin! β
A player wearing full-body armor and holding a heavy shield walked out of the bungalow behind the cloud barrier: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" What's the trick you've come up with again? β
"Wonderful p, come over to Lao Tzu!" Cangyun Barrier beckoned: "I'll ask you ......"
He pointed to the crumpled page in his hand: "Where is this Fenghua Town?" β
"I thought it was something big." The player with the ID name Tai Dongyue has been waist-barred, and said with his hands on his hips: "A small town in the south of the principality, a very beautiful place, except for winter, there are flower petals floating all day long......"
"Stop, stop, that's not what I'm asking." Cangyun Barrier made a pause gesture: "This place ...... Isn't it the place where the nearest novice village came out? β
"Uh...... yes, it's the first town after the Greenstone Village came out, and the ...... where the Emerald Forest happened before."
"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! The big man sitting on the bench looked at the ground and shook a finger vigorously: "It's the broken mountain of the rivers and lakes, the one that didn't say anything after coming back...... That's right. β
"What has he been doing these two days?"
"Well, I'm still running around for the war...... You ask me what this does, you should ask what you have in hand, right? β
"Ah...... This one ...... on it" Cangyun Barrier took the rest of the page and flipped it for a while: "Is it ......written?"
"Look at you, you're so impatient every time." Tai Dongyue, who was known as Lao Qin, snatched the information in his hand: "If you can find it like this, there will be ghosts, just your temper, I'm embarrassed to say that those young people ......."
In the sound of the other party's ears and cheeks, Lao Qin rummaged through the information: "Hmm, hmm...... Well, that's it...... Broken Mountain Mountain Town is stationed, and Broken Wind and Thunder are still active on the front line with their third brother Broken Mountain River......"
"Gone?"
"It's gone." The latter flipped back and forth a few times: "Wasn't it the same before?" β
"Have they been fighting for a long time?"
"It's been a long time...... What does that mean? β
"Since the beginning of the war, it's those two people who are on the front line...... Cangyun Barrier said in a low voice: "Broken Mountain has claimed to be retired, so we don't have to care, that old guy from Broken Wind and Thunder has survived like me until now, and I was still laughing at them when they went to the front line, whether they were stimulated by something, or their heads were squeezed by the door so they couldn't open it, and they didn't train well, they had to compete with those NPCs who couldn't beat it, and now it seems ......"
"I got it right......"
"Old Han, don't keep talking about it, okay...... What's wrong here? β
"You've taken the trouble out of it." Cangyun Barrier ignored it, but leaned on his knees and looked at the sky above the small courtyard: "Broken Mountain...... Emerald Forest...... Then there's the town of Windflower...... Hmph, hehe, hahahaha! β
In the side eyes of the guild members, the big man's eyes were shining, and he crossed his arms and laughed: "Very good, it turns out ......"
"You're alive."
******************
"Oh no! Oh no! β
On the calm Talon Boulevard, the remaining three people fell into a brief silence, the shirtless man had not yet calmed down his breath, and in the direction they ran before, a girl's voice approached them with the sound of running: "News from the Internet...... Hey? β
"This is the ......" Mengzhu who was re-launched, and his pace slowly slowed down: "You are ......"
She looked at the woman leading the horse opposite, and as the latter took off her hood, her long black hair flowed out, and the cold breath dissipated in an instantβshe smiled.
"Wow! It's Sister Snow! Mengzhu screamed and pounced: "Woo woo woo ......"
"What are you excited about?" Duan Qing on the side shook his head and smiled: "But...... I also want to know what is blowing you over. β
β...... I'm just out and just walk around. Looking down at the little girl in her arms, Xue Lingphantom Ice took a while before she spoke: "As a result, I met you." β
"Just take a walk? You can get it...... It's a bit far. Duan Qing's mouth opened wide in disbelief, but thinking of what Freedom Wings was currently doing, he closed his mouth again: "Could it be ...... Are you here to find out about the enemy? β
The other party did not answer, but the smile on his face disappeared.
Realizing that he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked, Duan Qing closed his mouth with amusement, although he was not afraid of this cold woman, but he didn't want to become the stupid big man who was slashed by a sword before, so he quickly changed the topic: "That...... Mengzhu, what did you say before? β
"Ahh I almost forgot! β
The little girl jumped up instantly, turned around and pulled Duan Qing's shirt: "I went to the Internet just now, and I saw a message from the players in Fenghua Town......"
"Rama is dead!"
"What?" Duan Qing was shocked: "He's dead?" How did he die? β
"It's a golden eagle! It is said that if the statue is all sold, it may be able to catch up with the financial revenue of Fenghua Town for a year......"
Another gust of warm wind passed by everyone, but Duan Qing didn't feel the same warmth as before. His lips opened and closed twice, and finally he said, "Dead? Still...... Turned into a golden eagle? β
"Who did such a bunker death?"
"I don't know, but many people guess that Archmage Jin did it, someone saw him enter the town hall yesterday morning, and then ......"
Skipping the girl's chattering description, Duan Qing's mind fell into a series of thoughts, but before he could extract anything meaningful to them from the news, he was pulled out by the little girl who was angry because of the other party's fugue attitude.
"What are you still doing, run!"
β...... Run, run what? β
"Running away, of course! Do you think, as soon as we walked on the front foot, Rama died on the back foot, there must be a bunch of people who doubt us, right? And that messenger is about to arrive, if he hits someone's arms headfirst......"
"We're done!" She let out a strange yell, then pulled the other side towards the west of the road.
I don't know why, whenever Duan Qing is pulled away by Mengzhu like this, he has no power to resist, this phenomenon has been like this since the beginning of Greenstone Village, but at that time, there were only two of them, and now there are two more people, so he has another choice to stop the little girl's inexplicable crankiness, that is, to ask the other two for help.
"Hey, don't be so excited, okay? Xiao Hongchen, help me hold her ......"
"I'll go wherever you go, and I think the girl has a point......
"Poof-that, who's that, Miss Xue, will you take your Mengzhu away...... Hey, you bought this wolf skin armor, and you ripped off all the hairs......"
In the gradually setting sunset, Xue Lingphantom Bing looked at the figures of the three people who were about to leave, stood in place and thought for a while, and finally shook his head and led his horse to follow slowly.
