511 New morning
"The turn of the slash is cast, the speed of the turn can be used to increase the power of the sword slash, if you are not confident in your swordsmanship, you can choose to unlock it and revert to attack your original position......"
"Sword momentum is a very mysterious thing, you don't need to understand it, you just need to think about how to make yourself win at the beginning of the battle, and then plan your own resources and ways to win......"
"The grasp of distance can determine one's own victory or defeat to a certain extent, so many people spend their lives studying the perception of distance and the corresponding theories...... Hey, those things are actually a joke, because whether it's the type of game, or the design of weapons and equipment in each game, it will change and affect your sense of distance in battle, and the only way to solve these problems is to practice for a while, even if you can't use them, you should at least touch all the existing long and short weapons and try how far they can fight......"
"Fight back? Does the free world recognize this skill? The only skills I know now are the basic ones, as well as heavy slashing, earth-shaking slashing, back slashing, and pick-and-slash...... Well, if you don't count magic, I've got more than a dozen skills I've mastered now, so I'm happy to think about it...... Counterattack is not simply to cut the opponent back, it is to use the flaws in the opponent's moves, so that the opponent's attack suffers the effect of counterattack, in the previous fierce battle game, isn't there a special counterattack flow, the truth in this, should be the same as what you described......"
In the free world, on the outskirts of Liberty City, the player's figure haunts a rocky forest, and from time to time proves the existence of a makeshift camp with his own cooking smoke. The hustle and bustle of the night in the city had already left them early, and the dawn from dawn had also shrouded them early, but among the people resting in this temporary camp, there were always a few guys who were still busy - after being sent out by Liu Qingniu himself, several Duan Qing and others who had been busy in the city for a day finally returned to the temporary base camp of the Friedham Stone Forest, but at this time, only the smiling butcher trio who fled to this place remained, It's just that under the leadership of Uncle Smiling, the three of them still held this temporary camp steadily, and at the same time used warm tents and bright bonfires to comfort the adventurers and others who returned from other places.
That's right, the players staying in this temporary camp at this time are not the only players on Duan Qing's side.
"Uncle Smiling, are they the ones you are waiting for?"
In the early morning sun, a player named Wind Blowing Mai Lang walked to the campfire in the center of the camp with his hands rubbed, but his eyes were aimed between two figures in the distance, a man and a woman, who were communicating: "Who are they?" ”
"Sort of...... Our captain. ”
Throwing the firewood he picked up into the fire, the smiling butcher clapped his hands: "The three of us were able to come to this place thanks to the care of those people." ”
"Really? I thought you were a local, uncle. The wind blew Mai Lang looked left and right for a while, and finally withdrew his gaze from a few beauties who looked good: "I actually chose this place as a camp for the night......"
"That's the woman who brought us here."
Smiling and gesturing to the tent where a blue-haired woman was resting, the smiling butcher smiled and replied, "It's that woman with a mature temperament...... She's a native of Free City and knows the terrain around it......"
"Ah...... I met last night, and it was indeed a big beauty. ”
It seems to be talking about his itch, and the player in leather armor lowered his voice: "I didn't expect it to be the target of your fancy uncle, I really deserve to be an old player with unique taste and sharp eyes......"
"The definition of a veteran player is not based on age."
Glancing in the direction where Duan Qing and Xue Lingxuan Bing were, the smiling butcher replied in a low voice, "And...... Please don't talk nonsense, my daughter is your age. ”
"Uh...... Aha. ”
The sound of pretending to be stupid laughter immediately appeared next to the bonfire, and gradually spread with the action of someone scratching his head, and in the shadow of the stone forest in the distance, the figures of two players carrying monster corpses also appeared one after another, and walked back in the direction of the center of the camp: "There are not many beasts in this place, but I have seen a lot of humanoid monsters, I guess if I catch them...... You can't get your mouth shut, can you? ”
"Correct."
The smiling butcher set up the handmade grills on both sides of the fire, and at the same time pointed to a stream not far from the stone forest, and motioned for the two of them to go there to clean up the ingredients: "It's a pity that we don't have any decent chefs, so we can only make do with the roasting, I wonder if these local game from the Free City can meet everyone's appetite......
"What about that Mo Shangqingshan? Wouldn't it be nice to let him come? So the braised crab began to walk into the distance: "He is still resting? ”
“…… No. ”
Looking at a certain man who was still teaching outside the camp not far away, the smiling butcher sighed faintly: "I don't know where the spirit came from......
"He's still busy anyway."
In the windy March morning, the weather is a little colder than usual, but in the cities and suburbs on the seaside, there is no place to feel nature more profoundly. The vitality of the camp gradually increased with the smell of barbecue, and with the appearance of more and more players, they were completely awakened, and some players who had brought their own tents also began to pack their bags, while enjoying their breakfast, while discussing today's adventure - Friedham Stone Forest is one of the more famous transit stations around Liberty City, not only close to other ruins, but also much safer, with the terrain and fresh water resources that are indispensable for camping, There are also many edible ingredients nearby, and now that a new version has been opened, it is perfect as a base for adventurers. Due to the distance from Liberty City, it has also become a gathering place where all major forces acquiesce, and many players from nearby and farther away will also bring their own resources and tools, and then set the starting point of their adventure here, these teams will naturally have many large guilds from Liberty City, and there are often conflicts in between, but for players who have been in the city for many years, the friction that occurs in this place can only be called a slapstick level.
Moreover, in the camp that Duan Qing and the others are setting up now, there are no people who like to provoke right and wrong at this time.
"It's rare that there are so many people who like peace......"
On a flat ground near the stone forest, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who had just put down the sword in his hand, took off his cloak with a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead while dispelling the freezing air around him: "I originally thought that the players in Liberty City were all people who liked to intrigue and fight. ”
"Human nature is inherently good, and it's the same in games." Duan Qing, who was lying on the ground, replied lightly: "Even those guys who look extremely vicious...... In the end, you may be surprised by your performance. ”
“…… Are you talking about last night's fight? The woman combed the long black hair on her head, and then sat down beside Duan Qing: "Is it the one in the first half of the night, or the one in the second half of the night?" ”
"Both."
With his hands folded behind his head, Duan Qing looked up at the sky above his head: "The guys of the Twelve Thrones have all stepped on the throne with blood, and they know better than anyone what the secret of success is, just like those of you who have been in the top of the guild all year round, as well as those who are in the position of president. ”
"Aside from a few personality issues, they're very cute." Duan Qing's voice carried a certain emotional lowness: "It's so cute that it's amazing." ”
“…… Since you don't want to evaluate, let's talk about the battle itself. ”
The woman tilted her head and looked down at Duan Qing's face: "That Lu bench...... How strong is it? ”
"It's good, it's an opponent worth fighting."
His eyes were still in the center of the sky, and Duan Qing's voice replied indifferently, "Of course...... It might be a nightmare for you power-type players. ”
“…… I've started to add points to Agility and hopefully make a breakthrough. ”
Snow Spirit Phantom Ice was silent for a while, and finally decided to say what she wanted: "Except for the magic problem...... The balance of character attributes should make it easier for people to comprehend skills and skills, right? ”
"Comprehension of this kind of thing has always been different from person to person." Duan Qing replied, "For example, the comprehension of sword qi...... As a perceptual player, your comprehension speed is much faster than others, but in terms of pure shattering power, you may be a little overwhelmed as a woman. Even a pure body technique user like Lu Bench is the same in terms of level comparison, so in the final analysis, strength is a relative concept, and you don't need to worry too much. ”
"Of course, did he play to his real strength...... This remains to be confirmed. He paused, then said something like this: "This guy is also a battle maniac, and he deliberately made fault with us...... I guess I just saw some clues, and by the way, I just wanted to compare with me. ”
That is to say...... He and his Dongcheng Society don't want to see you as an enemy anymore? ”
"Presumably, all the battles that happened last night were just coincidences."
As if feeling sad for the fate he had suffered, Duan Qing sighed in a deep voice, "Alas...... So you shouldn't have accepted this negotiation assignment in the first place......"
"Now that the Restorationists have risen again, your mission may become more important than before."
The woman stroked the sword in her hand while looking in the direction of the Free City in the distance: "And now you have entered the field of vision of the Supreme Ruler of the Free City, your chance...... I guess it's a lot more than the original. ”
"I know you're comforting me, but it's not going to be a good day at all."
Like a tired person, Duan Qing simply closed his eyes: "When I went out to take a risk and deal with pirates, not only did I almost expose a big secret, but I was almost dragged by a woman to find the pirate's treasure......"
“……”
"Even if you are beaten around by unknown forces, you are tired like a dog, and you have to bring it to a certain woman for special training when you come back......"
“……”
"Okay, okay, it's all a trouble I got on my own volition."
As if remembering some kind of serious consequence, Duan Qing was finally defeated by the woman's piercing eyes, and while patting his back, he walked in the direction of the camp: "A new day has begun, let's let go of these things that have passed and start a new day's adventure......"
“…… Why, are you really going to find that treasure? ”
"If you want to find it, you can contact Lao Zhou and them." Duan Qingtou said without replying: "Don't worry, I will never stop you." ”
“…… What's next for us? ”
"Probably...... Let's take a stroll through Liberty City first. ”
Glancing at the place where the outline of the Liberty City was, Duan Qing replied in a slow voice, "Since this is the safest time in that city, of course we should also take this opportunity to survey the terrain properly. ”
“……”
"I'm not talking about the City Lord's Mansion, my head is not that hard."
Facing the eyes that shot again under the woman's re-covered hood, Duan Qing tapped his forehead: "There are so many local guides now......
"Of course, it's time to put it to good use."
****************************
There are several gates in the ring-shaped Free City, and adventurers who come and go to the southern ruins of the city will naturally choose to enter and exit close to the southern city gate, and just like the situation that Duan Qing encountered when he first came to the Free City, there were no headache gatekeepers and robbers around the city at this time, and the caravans that traveled between the cities also chose the safest moment after the war, and merchant ships began to haunt the blue sea in the distance, but among the people around Duan Qing, From time to time, there were many sneaky people, carrying all kinds of packages and wooden boxes, looking like gang members selling smuggled goods, and the thugs who guarded the goods also stared at the suspicious people around them from time to time, with a warning look of "don't mess with me" written on their faces, and several gang members who seemed to have personal grudges also fought from time to time to solve each other's problems on the outskirts of the city, but these temporary encounters were quickly extinguished in the eyes of other passers-by.
"It's so fast...... Did they all move so cleanly? ”
"How can they have this kind of execution...... It's just that I'm afraid that the black will eat the black, so I quickly finished the fight and left. ”
Stepping into the city full of modern style again, Duan Qing and the others quickly met with their first guide, and out of a certain guilt, the guide's enthusiasm seemed to be much stronger than that of a few guys who hadn't woken up yet: "Liu Qingniu, leader of the second group of the Dongcheng Club, say hello to all the bosses!" ”
"We're not on the road, don't shout like that."
Duan Qing, who pressed his forehead, replied helplessly, and then pointed to the center of the city: "Then...... Where do we go next? ”
"If it's the street that the eldest sister is talking about...... Brother, I can take you there now. ”
The short-haired young man who had regained his honest expression smiled at everyone, and then waved to the corner of the street.
"Follow me."
