946 Failed surrender

"You, you big bastard!"

Another morning light gradually appeared on the eastern horizon, and a sudden angry cry then separated from the flow of people coming and going to the north gate of Tanzania, and then turned into the figure of a woman in white with a long white cloth on her back, and ran in the direction of a gray-robed magician who was sitting against the corner wall of the city gate: "Why did you come back dead?" ”

"It's pretty fast." Blocking the sword blade lifted by the other party outside of his body, Duan Qing, who had been covered by wind and frost and morning dew, replied with a wry smile: "I thought you would have to return in another day, or I would go directly to the tavern to pick you up......

"I, I won't hang up like you!" Gritting his teeth, Xue Ling Phantom Ice turned the side of the sword blade and slapped it on Duan Qing's head: "It's you!" said that he would save people, but how did he put his life into it in the end? ”

"It doesn't matter what the process is, as long as the end result is acceptable." Waving his hand senselessly, Duan Qing then blew his breath on the surface of the iron sword: "Otherwise, the final outcome may not be as simple as me coming back alone." ”

"I, I'd rather just come back for free."

Slowly withdrew her hand, and the white-haired woman in white immediately showed a slightly lonely expression on her face: "As soon as you leave, I feel that there is no point in staying there......"

"Don't say that, we're standard Imperials now." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "Protecting the water and soil of the empire, but our duty lies." ”

"You say all the beautiful words, and you are the first to die."

The very slender body that looked very slender because it was unconcealed kept shaking in front of Duan Qing, and the woman in white who approached finally pointed at Duan Qing's nose with the same snow-white finger: "Is your alchemy good or not?" ”

"Isn't Yu Yan alive?" Duan Qing raised his eyelids: "Otherwise, with the previous situation, how would you come back alive now." ”

“…… Hum. ”

Let out a heavy cold snort, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who had been standing in place for a long time, turned to sit beside Duan Qing: "If I hadn't deleted the number and retrained, I wouldn't have needed that woman to save me, this time the battle was won...... Let's just let her be proud for a while. ”

"What about her? Ouch. ”

Looking ahead, Duan Qing then received a dull blow on his head: "Why didn't she come back with you?" ”

"She's still in the back with the big army." Xue Ling, who withdrew his fingers, said sullenly: "I don't want to continue to act with her, without you, the play can't go on......"

"Okay, okay."

Knowing what the other party was rushing back for, Duan Qing, who looked helpless, finally reached out and gave a friend team up order: "Since everyone has arrived, let's go back and try to hand in the task first, fortunately, the outpost was saved in the end, otherwise the mission reward this time might be in vain......"

"Your rank."

The voice slightly interrupted Duan Qing's words, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who had accepted the invitation to form a team, suddenly raised his surprised eyes: "How did your level become fourteenth?" Didn't it be level fifteen before? ”

“…… It's just a side effect of some alchemy. Duan Qing paused when he wanted to stand up: "Don't worry, as soon as this task is handed over, the experience of the district level will increase in an instant......

"Your alchemy...... Is it the character's experience that is used? Xue Ling, who didn't let go of the other party, then grabbed Duan Qing's arm, and his eyes were also staring at the other party tightly: "How can this work?" You've made so many potions before...... Wait a minute. ”

"Is this the reason why you haven't been out of the Newbie Village?" Her eyes widened more and more: "For such a long time, even the version has been updated once......"

"Don't guess."

Interrupting the other party's words lightly, Duan Qing, who had a smile on his face again, touched the other party's head with his hand: "Not every bottle of potion is produced by the method of life refining, only a few techniques require the life support of the character, and if it is converted into player attributes, it is probably a setting like experience points......"

"There aren't many cases like this, and I don't usually need it." He gently took the white-haired woman's hand: "In the end, at most, it is just a deduction of my first-level experience, compared to the result I got in the end, this little effort is simply a big profit." ”

"Then, then you don't use such alchemy in the future." Instead of hugging Duan Qing's arm, Xue Ling's phantom ice, whose face was a little pale, said in a low voice: "We still have to upgrade together, if the level gap is too big at that time......"

"Then please protect me." Shrugging his shoulders, Duan Qing began to drag the other party's clutched body towards the city gate: "Why, after training for so long, don't you have confidence?" ”

“…… Don't look at the way I'm only in my teens now, I've killed a lot of attackers. ”

After stabilizing his mind slightly, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who had submerged into the city gate with Duan Qing, finally put on a smug smile: "That Crook outpost was finally preserved, and I also have some credit for it." ”

"Then do we still have to go to the military department to receive some military merits?" Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "With Locke's relationship, such a reward should still be easy to get, although it ......"

"We don't know if they got the news of the attack there, if they found out why they were attacked there."

His footsteps paused slightly, and at the same time he looked back at the gradually brightening sky north of the city gate he had just passed: "Under such extraordinary circumstances, that remote place was suddenly attacked...... There must be some mysterious reason why it is not humane. ”

"I've heard something about that."

Xue Ling, who was also standing on the side of the street inside the city gate, and was carrying Duan Qing's arm, replied in a low voice: "When we left that outpost, we saw from a distance a group of knights in gold-inlaid armor who had just arrived there, and they were still asking loudly what was going on, while reprimanding the soldiers who were still alive......"

"Gilded armor? Is it the Royal Guard? ”

"That's right, most of them are the Imperial Royal Guards who have come to explore the way and fight the front station."

"Since they came from the north, it means ......"

"His Royal Highness the Prince is coming soon, from that direction."

The brighter and brighter sky appeared in the sky above the two people's heads as the sun gradually rose, and at the same time, another day in Tanzanian City appeared in front of all the players, and the noise from the street was followed by the chatter and footsteps of more and more passers-by, carrying the figures of Duan Qing and the two people towards the depths of the city. As if two passers-by who were no different from ordinary people, the two players dressed in gray robes and white cloth walked quietly on the road leading to the Adventurers' Guild, only the discussion between the two people that rang out from time to time still showed that these two people who had just experienced a shocking change were different from other passers-by: "In other words, they want to secretly control that outpost...... But what is it for? ”

"I guess I want to attack the prince."

"I don't think their strength and level can beat the Imperial soldiers, and they are also the best elite of the Imperial Family."

"That's why they used such a simple method as poisoning, although you finally found out...... No, do you have a way to unravel that poison? ”

"I have a rough idea of how the toxin works, and the sample has been handed over to the archmages in the Violet Tower, but ......"

"But what?"

"Even so, I still don't think it's easy."

Walking on the side of the street where the cars and horses were rushing, Duan Qing, who was slowing down, then fell on the corner of the central street that was gradually revealed in the distance: "If things only go so far, it can only prove that they deliberately want to control that outpost, but even if they kill all the people at the outpost and replace them with their people, how can they get out of this move of attacking the prince in the end?" ”

"Still poisoned?" Xue Ling, who also stopped, replied in a low voice, "Use the hidden toxin to control Prince Chris?" ”

The sound of discussion finally followed the flow of people on the street and came to the corner of the Adventurers' Association, and finally disappeared into the air on the side of the street as Duan Qing took the lead in entering the gate of the association, and the white-haired woman who closed her mouth then silently walked to the rest area next to the commission task display board, and sat down quietly in a seat that was not occupied. Closing her eyes slightly, she was deep in thought, and then slowly cleared away the waves in her heart that were slightly flooded because of the amount of information in this way, until the gray-robed magician who had gone and returned squeezed back from the still lively team in front of her, she opened her eyes again: "Failed? ”

"If you know, don't ask."

Sitting beside the other party angrily, Duan Qing, who had a dark face, then responded angrily: "The nominal task was received by the people of Star Tree Griffin, and they have the right to receive the task reward, and the two of us are just helpers who don't even have a guild, and they have nothing to do with the mission contract itself......

"The three of them left late, and they are probably still on their way." Xue Ling, who pulled her hair and sideburns, said helplessly: "So we have no other way but to wait?" ”

"I'd love to do some of my own research, but ...... We can't even eat now. Duan Qing sighed and looked at the ceiling of the association hall: "Fortunately, someone paid for me yesterday, otherwise it is estimated that I would have been in a negative state of hunger now...... That's right! ”

"What's wrong? What do you think of? ”

"Didn't I give the little thief the few remaining vials of valuable potions?" Duan Qing, who sat up suddenly, looked up at the second floor of the association: "Let's go and ask what the result is?" ”

"Didn't you re-agree with them about another meeting place?" Xue Lingphantasm Bing shook his head a little helplessly: "If you want to go up to that second floor again, those two swordsmen guarding the stairs may not agree again." ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Pointing in the direction of the door, Duan Qing's gaze then fell on the back of a certain welcome lady who had been standing at the door and constantly nodding in welcome: "Didn't you rely on her to get in last time, and this time I will ask her for help." ”

“…… The reason? Xue Lingphantasm rolled her eyes: "You can't still use the reason of establishing an adventure group. ”

"Explain the reason or something." Duan Qing, who had already gotten up, walked in the direction of the NPC who was petite and had a warm smile on his face: "Anyway, as long as you stand in front of the NPC, the reason you want to find will pop out of your mind...... Hello. ”

"Hello."

The distance gradually narrowed as Duan Qing walked forward, and it seemed that he noticed that the greeting lady who walked behind him from the gray-robed mage also turned her body: "Welcome to the Adventurers Association in Tanzanian City, can I help you if there is anything I can do to help you?" ”

"That, I-"

Struggling to find a reason to reach the second floor, Duan Qing's smile then became a little distorted along with his furrowed eyebrows: "I want to ...... Uh, I want to post a few more adventurers' commissions, do you want to go to the second floor to deal with it? ”

"If it's a general commission, you can just entrust it directly on the first floor." The hostess replied with a smile, "We will have a special person responsible for rating and grading your commission, and finally pasting it on that display board." ”

"Well, I mean ......" Duan Qing said hesitantly, "That...... I may need some professional matters that I would like to assign to some specific party to deal with......"

"If that's the case, you don't need to hand over the adventure task to our Adventurers Guild." Miss Manners smiled and pointed to the stairs next to her, "Just find the adventure group you are looking for and explain it to them personally...... Ah, do you have an invitation from them, please? ”

"It's because I didn't ...... Ah, no, no, no. ”

The thoughts that popped up in his heart were almost spoken, and beads of sweat began to ooze on Duan Qing's face: "I mean...... Do you have any other business that you can only do on the second floor, such as intelligence sales, secret missions, gold coin lending, weddings and funerals, etc......"

"You two."

A deep and neutral voice then interrupted the conversation between the two figures, and at the same time appeared the figure of a middle-aged man wearing a lilac magic robe and holding a staff inlaid with countless magic patterns of different sizes, his hair and beard were meticulously combed, and his somewhat impatient eyes then stayed on Duan Qing who was blocking the door for a moment, and then turned into a slight surprise: "May I ask ......?"

"Your Excellency is the abyss cut off the water?"
