Like a haze that hovered around everyone's hearts, the continuous clouds hovering in the central part of the Free Continent did not leave their heads with the passage of time, and the heavy rain that continued to fall for a long time finally became a disaster for everyone to worry about, and began to gradually spread around the lower altitude of the Talon Plain. More and more flood control posts appeared in various parts of the fortress, and the fiery scene belonging to the fortress of Fars began to become more and more obvious with the continuous rain falling, which also made the soldiers who had been canceled from training and seemed a little relaxed to carry more and more heavy burdens.
In order to survive, a large-scale ditch and drainage plan was finally placed on the command table in front of Dusk, and more and more new forces, including players from the principality, were finally pulled into this flood fight by this marshal.
"Thankfully, the terrain on our side is pretty good."
Pointing to the figures that were constantly directing the rain into the surrounding ditches, Asahi Dongsheng, who was leaning on the edge of the barracks, sighed and said, "Even in the valley of Mount Fallon, the height of the Fars Fortress is much higher than the nearby Plains of Ferron and Talon, plus the existence of the Fena River...... It's relatively easy to save this fortress from a submerged future. β
"Isn't it the identity of the Imperials that we should be most fortunate about?" Maintaining the surface of the shield in his hand, Gedmayne, who was covered in bandages, then shook his head: "Whether it is for the sake of face or fear of information leakage, they will not hire us to do such a dangerous thing at this time, although this will cause us to be very idle, and our plans to set off have been blocked here......"
Because of this heavy rain, the plan of several people to go to rendezvous with the main force of Rena's investigation team was also temporarily blocked in the fortress, and as the nominal leader and head of this team, Xue Lingphantom Ice naturally understood this very well: "I have already proposed our wishes to Dusk, hoping that they will not continue to trouble us again." β
"That's true, but it's not a good idea to keep the door closed." Spreading his hands, Asahi Dongsheng's face then became mysterious again: "Why don't we go out and find a hidden boss to fight again?" I heard that some ancient ruins have suddenly appeared on the Fallon Hills in the north due to a landslide......"
"Stop." Stretching out his hand to block the momentum of the other party's desire to continue, Gedmayne replied with a blank face, "It has long been confirmed that it is an ancient underground passage to the fortress, you don't need to fool us with this outdated information again." β
"Why, how is that possible?" A dry smile appeared on Asahi Dongsheng's face again: "Even if there is really a secret passage there, the value of our visit is very high, in case the two countries really fight in the future, that passage may also become our killer weapon, right?" β
"Don't underestimate the IQ of the principality too much, what you can think of has already been thought of by others." Gedmayne replied with a dark face: "The Duchy has recently used it as an outlet for the flood discharge of the Fars Fortress, and most of the water in the fortress has even been discharged into the Faelon Plain through the ground. β
"So, what are we supposed to do? You can't just stare here every day, can you? Asahi Dongsheng hugged his arms with a dissatisfied face: "Brother Lin still has a teacher who can help with homework, are we just here to watch the rain every day?" β
"If it weren't for the fact that my injuries hadn't healed, I could have spared with you again."
It seemed that the roots of his teeth were itching with anger, and Gedmayne, who was wiping the surface of the shield, grinded his mouth: "Since the opportunity to teach you is not there, then we will discuss something more appropriate." β
"Discussion? What to discuss? Asahi Dongsheng glared at his puzzled eyes: "Is it still the battle of that night?" Please, you've been chewing on the details three times, what else can you discuss other than the conclusion that the other side is too strong and there is no comparison? β
"Gedmane is right, we still have something worth discussing." The appearance of silence was finally broken, and Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was sitting in the center of the table, then turned his gaze to the head of Falling Dream, who was sitting in the corner without saying a word: "Aren't we still here with someone who knows him well?" β
"Wouldn't it be nice to let him explain?"
In the scene where several people approached the dream together, an interrogation conference was held vigorously under the auspices of the Qingling Adventure Group, but Duan Qing, as one of the parties involved, did not appear in this lively event at this time, but still followed Violet to carry out the so-called cultivation task. Without any desire to cooperate with the cultivation, the gray-robed magician, who was still of zero level, could only meditate quietly with a wry smile and follow the instructions of the purple-haired woman at this time, until even he, a weather-beaten veteran player, began to feel a little bored, and the knock at the door of their barracks reluctantly broke the rare calm in the rain: "Brother Lin, are you there?" β
ββ¦β¦ Come in. β
With the tacit approval of Violet, who was called to follow and was actually a surveillance, Duan Qing, who had hidden his sense of happiness, also made an inviting voice, and the warrior players with the words "Cangyun Barrier" then pushed open the small door in front of them, and then took off the black cloak used to protect from the rain: "Still cultivating? Brother Lin is really hard. β
"I know what you're trying to say, after all, it's really not like that for a player who doesn't even have a level to mess around here." Duan Qing pursed his lips and replied, "Just get to the point." β
"The people of the rivers and lakes are still accompanying the soldiers of the principality to carry sandbags in front." Pointing to his back, the corners of the Cangyun Barrier's mouth couldn't help but rise as he sat down: "They don't seem to be going to object, and they are ready to treat this sandbag battle as if they were cultivating in the Principality Fortress this time...... Hahaha! You didn't see the stinky face of Broken Mountain, he is probably about to go crazy, hahahahahaha! β
"Who made them disappear when the principality needed them most?" Duan Qing also let out two wry laughs: "Although I do know what the reason why they didn't show up that night, it's probably because they were angry with a certain tavern owner, and I don't know where to go to vent." β
"That tavern owner also played a role in killing another unit of the Red Lotus Gang." As if to put the topic on the right track again, Cangyun Barrier put away his smile: "That group of people...... Their strength is indeed not simple, and they are worthy of being people who have to be afraid of even breaking the mountain. β
ββ¦β¦ What about the Red Lotus Gang? Is their identity verified? β
"Of course it was confirmed, even if they wanted to plant a bomb in the ground."
After tidying up his face, Cangyun Barrier's expression began to gradually become serious: "I really didn't expect that a small gang in the empire would dare to even attack the fortress in the end. β
"Not by that guy's power." Duan Qing shook his head: "If it weren't for that guy Yinzhu taking the lead, those gangsters alone wouldn't have been able to break into such a big fortress." β
"That's right."
Taking a deep breath, Cangyun Barrier's gaze then began to become deeper and deeper: "I have also seen the appearance of that East Gate, it is definitely something that only super masters can do, being able to slash such a large metal city gate into pieces with a single sword, even if it is a professional player in the alliance, few of them can do it." β
"Except, of course, for those of you demon level." His gaze fell on Duan Qing's body: "Do you know him?" β
"Probably yes." Shaking his head, Duan Qing, who hesitated for a moment, replied in a low voice: "Because the two of us have changed our identities and appearances, we shouldn't recognize each other. β
"If you have any clues, be sure to tell me." Cangyun Barrier's voice replied slowly: "This is a rare and good candidate, how can you not recruit and give it a try?" β
"Recruitment? What do you think. Duan Qing squinted at the other party: "Isn't that guy from Vizad?" β
"Huh?"
After staring at Duan Qing for a long time, the Cangyun Barrier finally let out a strange cry: "He is from Vizad?" How do you know? Isn't he a warrior? How could a person like Vizad, who only accepts mages, produce such a master? β
"Vizard doesn't just accept mages, after all, it's hard for a team of pure mages to eat in a big game." Duan Qing shook his head: "As for why he is from Vizad...... Xiao Qian told me. β
"She saw the sunset that night." Hiding the information he might know, he pointed in the direction east of the camp: "It's on the wall in the direction where Ototake left." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh? β
He looked at Duan Qing with his chin for a while, and the expression of the Cangyun barrier gradually became exciting: "There will be an induction between magicians and magicians, and I have heard of this, but the Thousand-Fingered Crane and the Sunset Lonely Smoke-"
"I know you're suspicious of something, but Xiao Qian already has a level that is comparable to any active master." Duan Qing nodded and replied, "If Xiao Qian hadn't appeared near the battlefield that night, Sunset Lonely Smoke might have a hot brain in the end and help that Yinzhu in the end." β
"If people of this level join forces, the final outcome of the battle is still unknown." Cangyun Barrier sighed in agreement: "But if they can really get in, there are still a few people left behind by me and Lanshan......"
"So there's no point in talking about words like 'if.'" Duan Qing waved his hand: "Let's talk about a more practical topic...... What are you going to do in this situation? β
"We certainly don't want to stay in this fortress full of principalities." Cangyun Barrier patted his body: "After dealing with the tasks we have at hand, we will also find an opportunity to set off." β
"Xiao Qian has disappeared recently, I'm afraid I'm looking for traces of the Red Lotus Gang." Duan Qing also sighed: "Shouldn't we prepare well to meet Her Highness Rena next?" β
"The issue of the Red Lotus Gang is indeed worth discussing again." Standing up slowly, Cangyun Barrier pushed the door again and walked towards the rain: "If there is really no way-"
"Just throw the pot at them first."
Looking at the scene of the other party leaving in a hurry again, Duan Qing, who was sitting in place, shook his head a little abruptly, and the thought of calming down and thinking was interrupted by Violet behind him the next moment, accompanied by her figure that gradually emerged from the state of invisibility: "Alliance...... What is it? β
"Well, it's an organization within our adventurers." Duan Qing's stammering voice began to smooth out with his dancing fingers: "We adventurers have to hold a martial arts tournament or something like that every year, and they are the existence of managers and the like. β
"Then the professional players you just mentioned are also a group of such people?" Different from the seriousness when teaching magic before, Violet at this time was full of interest in Duan Qing's face: "You were also one of them?" β
"It used to be ...... bar. Duan Qing's hesitant voice became longer: "Anyway, now that I have withdrawn from that circle, those people I know have also become history." β
"I don't think so." Staring at Duan Qing's face with her chin in her hand, Violet, who straightened up, turned around in a circle around him: "You still have an unyielding will in your body...... You must still want to go back to that arena, don't you? β
"Oh, don't talk about me anymore!" Duan Qing, who didn't know how to answer, hurriedly shouted, "Do you want to continue meditating?" If you want, don't bother me anymore. β
"That's all for today's meditation practice." Reaching out and stroking her cheek, Violet's mature and beautiful face became even brighter: "While everyone else is not there, let's first tell the stories that we don't tell outsiders on weekdays, okay?" β
"Are you so interested in me?" Avoiding the burning breath in the other party's eyes, Duan Qing replied expressionlessly, "Instead of discussing these meaningless contents, let's talk about Yinzhu's matterβwhat do you think of that person?" β
ββ¦β¦ He is a noteworthy enemy. β
Her eyes gradually sharpened, and Violet, who had let go of Duan Qing, said in a low voice, "If he appears in front of us again, I will consider dealing with him with all my strength." β
"No, no, no, there isn't a clear line between enemies and friends among adventurers." Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "I mean to say - what do you think of his purpose as a person?" β
"Isn't he here to catch that little guy called Fallen Dreams?" Blinking her eyes, Violet's expression became confused: "What's the problem?" β
"So the problem is Dreamfall." Duan Qing sighed and replied, "A person who has been pursued by Yinzhu but has fled until now, and then discovered the true intentions of the Red Lotus Gang before anyone else-"
"I don't look like a character who doesn't know anything."
