"Because of some anomaly, I was watching from the sidelines, so I found you. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

On a dirt slope in the suburbs, two men are lying and sitting facing the morning sun, chatting casually.

"There aren't many people in the free world who can do the kind of attack you have, not even the pros."

"So I'm not a professional anymore."

"Hmph, I'm not one now, but I still have to say it...... You're cowardly. ”

The lying man did not reply.

"Still won't say it?"

Nature in the free world is very beautiful, this is the consensus of every player who comes to this game, although any virtual game world, can be made with the designer's free design to make enough shocking natural or humanistic landscapes, but they are still not as beautiful as pure nature, and the harmony that belongs to this beauty - the endless vast grassland on the slope of the earth, and the sparse trees, are now swaying slightly with the morning breeze, The rustling sound is their own language, soothing the heart of everyone who hears it.

Most people who see this scene will be in a peaceful state of mind, and the two men in front of them are no exception, but it seems that it is too late by this moment - behind them, a large grassland that has just grown up in the summer has been destroyed, and judging by the traces all around, it must have just experienced a great war. Shallow and deep ravines have divided the grassland into many pieces, with some fallen tree trunks in between, some of which have been chopped into splinters of wood chips. In other large and small potholes, the soil in the ground has been turned to the surface, revealing rocks in deeper layers of soil, as well as ...... Maybe it was the bones that died a few years ago, but I don't know what happened in this place a long time ago.

However, all this is a floating cloud for both of them, both beautiful and brutal.

"Now that I think about it, it's been more than three years." Jian Beidong smoothed the hair on the front half of his forehead, but his eyes looked at the direction of the morning sun: "These three years...... Come to think of it, it's pretty fast. ”

"That's because the scenes of the past are still vivid, right?"

“...... That's right. ”

"Teenager, you need to grow."

The worn cloak fell as the morning breeze stopped, and the man looked at the other party who was lying on the side, no longer speaking, and a wave of resentment suddenly welled up in his heart.

"What do you mean...... That's it? ”

"These three years...... That's it? ”

"How many people have changed because of your disappearance, how many things have failed because of your disappearance, how many dreams have been shattered because of your disappearance, you ......"

"I know." Duan Qing replied: "This is inevitable. ”

"But beyond saying I'm sorry for them, I've ...... There's nothing more to do. ”

"That's all I can do, and you can only accept it."

"I never agreed...... Accept! ”

A muffled roar squeezed out of Jian Beidong's throat, but it only caused him to take a few heavy breaths again: "Forget it, I don't want to fight with you again." ”

"A smart choice." The man lying on the ground said, "This is a sign of growth. ”

"It's all." Jian Beidong plunged his long sword into the dirt: "I'd rather not grow." ”

"Let's face it, I've already inquired. Your performance in the past three years has been a testament to ...... Your growth. Duan Qing smiled and said, "But it's ......"

"The swordsmanship is still as simple as ever."

Wild birds flew over the heads of the two men with birdsong, adding a new tone to the monotonous natural harmonic. The two of them were silent for a while in such a tone, and finally the silence was broken by Jian Beidong.

"After that day...... I left the team. ”

He propped his hands up to the ground and looked up at the sky.

"After your news spread, many people came to me, as well as Lou Yu, to find out what happened. Hmph, how do we know what's going on, we don't even react ourselves......"

"Later, the official news of the alliance, we didn't believe it, Miss Lou also went to the headquarters to make trouble for a while, but there was no result, and then we tried to find you......"

"You won't find anything." Duan Qing interjected.

"Krushid didn't even hold the championship trophy, it fell apart completely, because some people suspected that there was something wrong within, and they were looking for someone to make trouble, and many members of the guild were forced to leave by outside pressure, although there were some very loyal core members left, but ...... Over time, they eventually walked away. Jian Beidong glanced at him, and then continued his topic.

"At the end of the day, I still don't have confidence in myself." Duan Qing commented.

"No way, even if you have ideals and ambitions, people always have to go to high places. I heard that Lao Zhang still went to the rivers and lakes later, but he didn't make any achievements...... "Looking at a white cloud floating from the sky, Jian Beidong's voice became low: "The people of Lanshan, the people of the rivers and lakes, and many other guilds and clans, have all come to me, not to mention those ordinary members. Some of the forces that wanted to cooperate were even eliminated in the past time, like those of the Blood Hand, who disappeared later, and I don't know where they went......"

"They're not playing? When did it happen? ”

"Probably...... Last year, in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup Summer Pro Tournament, the Blood Hand has not played since the defeat. ”

"That's it......" Duan Qing sighed, "They were okay back then." ”

"When you are old, you have to serve the old." Jian Beidong shook his head instead: "I still remember that game, from technology to tactics, they were all defeated. ”

The sound of blades of grass and birdsong intertwined, and the two men were silent for a while.

"After I returned home, I also used my family connections to find out your whereabouts." The half-made man looked at the person next to him: "The initial result was that you were dead, and then I didn't believe it, so I checked it from the information of the alliance, and it didn't take long for someone to come and tell me...... Or to warn me not to look any further. ”

He looked at the other party's face and found that Duan Qing's expression had not changed at all.

"There was no way, and I didn't want to go back, so I simply became a lone ranger, away from the world, and avoided them, and the secret invitations of the previous guilds were also rejected by me one by one. But for now, it still feels good, since I started playing virtual games, I haven't enjoyed the game so much in a long time. ”

"I warned you a long time ago, but...... At that time, you should not have listened. ”

"Hmph, you're right." Jian Beidong muttered a few sentences, and then continued: "But I still haven't given up, I think that people like you, even if they disappear after playing, they will definitely not give up the game in the end, so I have played a lot of games and entered many worlds, and I want to find your trace in those worlds." However, it turned out that my idea was wrong, and it helped many passers-by......"

"In the end, you got the title of a swordsman, didn't you?" Duan Qing said with a smile.

"What do they say, that's their business, what's my business......" Jian Beidong touched his cheek a little embarrassed, and then continued: "But there are naturally troubles, many people come here, they want to defeat me and make a name for themselves, and I don't know how the circuit in my head is built, is there any sense of accomplishment in defeating an outdated master?" ”

"Less garlic, a master who is still angry...... Actually, you are snickering in your heart, there are so many people running here to practice......"

"Nonsense, they didn't come here for exercise, what level are they, they just got two super god equipment, and after learning the powerful skills in the two games, they thought they were invincible in the world? Everyone who came to challenge me said very good, what to learn, what to compete and what to fight, and to point to the end, isn't it really a fight to the death......"

Seeing Jian Beidong sitting there chattering without any self-awareness, Duan Qing laughed for no reason: "Then you won't make an announcement, or find a helper or something......"

"It's useless, there are many people who want to be famous and want to go crazy, in order to enter the threshold of the alliance, these people can think of any way, people's eyes are bright, no matter how big the trouble is, your own ability is not good, people can see it at a glance, and the people in the alliance are not blind...... You say someone like this, what's the point of me making a statement? As for the helper......"

Jian Beidong's voice paused: "I've been playing for so long, I'm a little used to it." ”

Duan Qing didn't speak anymore - a person who has been used to being alone in virtual online games is indeed difficult to accept the constraints imposed on them by certain forces, not only because of the universal strength of the lone wanderer, but also because they like to use their own hands to challenge all kinds of difficulties in the game world. However, Duan Qing knew that this was not the real reason why the other party said this, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.

"Let's talk about the free world." So he said, "How do you feel?" ”

"Good." Jian Beidong shrugged: "When I first came to the free world, I really didn't feel different from other worlds, and it wasn't until I found out that this game had almost no skills that I became interested. ”

"Hey, have you tried those tricks that the league has determined?"

"Of course I've tried, ordinary rolls and steps can still be used, because those are not beyond the scope of normal human beings, but attacks like slashing, stabbing, R&G, and instant costume change are difficult to use, including their derivative skills, as well as various practical footwork, magic chanting techniques......"

"And instant attacks."

"Oh yes, there's also an instant attack, and in the battle just now, I subconsciously wanted to use it to ......"

"It's been so long, haven't you changed your habits in this game?"

"Because you don't need to." Jian Beidong smiled: "There are very few battles that require me to use these ......"

Then there was another awkward silence.

"But the fight just now was pretty good." In the end, it was Duan Qing who brought up the conversation again: "It's finally not a white chicken swordsmanship." ”

"It's been a long time since then." Jian Beidong said in a low voice: "It's all flashy swordsmanship, I also feel it, it's better to be concise......"

"Your progress has been great, and you can use your sword qi."

"The goods that can be thrown out casually in other games are just reconstituted in this game." Jian Beidong waved his hand: "The so-called virtual real game technology, in the final analysis, is still the level of understanding of this game structure, compared to you...... If it were you, you should be able to do it, right? Just by that pit you took on that street......"

"I'm no longer suited to that way of fighting." After a long time, Duan Qing shook his head and said, "It's still you young people ......."

"Hey, hey, we're about the same age, don't pretend to be the boss if you're fine, I'm still at my peak, when I'm over thirty, let me serve the old again! And look at you yesterday...... It's the day before yesterday, and you're playing well, huh? Why ......"

He paused, then changed to a serious tone: "Why are you leaving?" ”

I don't know if it was the first embarrassing silence, Duan Qing straightened his head sideways and looked at the clear sky with the other party - from the moment he made up his mind to pick up the game again, he had expected that one day, someone would ask this question, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

"Why......" he muttered, "because ......"

"This day will come sooner or later."

A marginal sentence made Jian Beidong's hand on the other side suddenly clench. He turned his head and looked at the man who was still expressionless after finishing speaking, and only after a while did he say sullenly: "Since that's the case......"

"Then forget it."

He stood up.

He knew that it was an answer that Duan Qing had set aside a long time ago, and now that he said this answer, its true meaning was self-evident, so he didn't continue to dwell on it - a man's pride is usually difficult to breathe, especially when that man has a mountain of glory behind his back, the contrast at this time is even more unacceptable.

"Things are pretty much the same here, I should have left, I didn't expect to run into you......" He drew his sword and walked towards a nearby path.

"Gone."

"Where are you going?"

"Tania." Jian Beidong's footsteps stopped, but he didn't look back: "There are more masters there, I have more opportunities to practice, maybe ......"

"I'll be in this year's League Cup."

"That's good." Duan Qing, who had been lying on the ground in a large font, supported the ground with his hands and straightened his upper body: "I will cheer for you." ”

The man in the tattered cloak snorted coldly, then took another step.

"Wait a minute." When the distance between the two was stretched to more than ten meters, Duan Qing's voice sounded again: "She...... How's it going? ”

As if realizing something, the breeze blew between the two of them again, pressing down the tips of the weeds again, Jian Beidong turned around slowly, and looked at the man on the dirt slope with a smile: "We talked for a long time...... Morning talk, I thought you wouldn't ask, but in the end, ......"

"Sure enough, I still asked."

Duan Qing pursed his lips, and then looked at the other party with a calm expression as much as possible.

"The eldest lady has also engaged in a group of people recently, all of whom are fans who have longed for her in the past, or thugs or the like, it seems that she wants to do something, and I don't know if she is on a whim, or if she has figured it out."

Jian Beidong turned around again and walked forward: "I'll tell her, you ......"

"Don't worry about it."

With the swing of the weeds, the swordsman waved with his back to him, and then with a few jumps, disappeared into the distance of the path.
