"You guy...... Is it because of overwork or because of injury? That old man is about to do it, don't you know? ”

"Of course I do, and I know you're always there for me."

The splattered blood splashed on the corner of this alley with the gradually falling body of the old man in the Taoist robe, and then rose the white light that belonged to the player's rebirth after death, and Duan Qing, who was running and widening the distance, then gradually stopped his steps, looking at the figure of the white-haired woman who gradually appeared after the white light: "Who do you think those words just now are for?" That's all for you. ”

"Aren't you afraid of revealing our identities?"

Slowly put away his long sword, completely loosened his brows, and then slowly walked behind Duan Qing: "He has already raised his weapon just now, do you know?" Those words before him ......"

"Nine times out of ten, they are pretending to be stupid."

Saying the last few words for the other party with a smile, Duan Qing shook his head: "After all, I know his true identity, and I don't want to take advantage of this...... Anyway, if you can really kill him with a sword, aren't you afraid of missing or encountering some protective spells or something? ”

"Aside from what you're asking me to train, my swordsmanship has been improving all this time."

A smug smile gradually appeared on his face, and Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was holding the hilt of the sword, jumped in front of Duan Qing like a rabbit inviting merit: "This is a long-planned surprise attack, and it was also launched when he wanted to sneak attack, if this can't pierce the heart with a sword, then my lone career some time ago will really be in vain." ”

"It sounds like there's a lot of stories to tell."

Tilting his head sideways and smiling slightly, Duan Qing then started to run forward again: "But now is not the time, I don't dare to stop at this time." ”

"The people of the Violet Tower...... Will they still catch up? Xue Ling, who followed behind the other party again, asked in a deep voice, "Are they really as you guessed-"

The piercing whistling sound of sword qi then sounded in the distance behind the alley where the two people were running, belonging to the dark sky where purple and red were entangled, and a figure in the shape of a swordsman who suddenly appeared there then also intersected with the figure of another fluttering lord who had been hanging in the sky, bursting out with a stunning light in the air. His gaze stayed for a moment between the countless streets and alleys that he kept passing by, and Duan Qing's gaze that looked over there gradually became serious, and the gaze that had been constantly sweeping gradually gathered together with the thought of careful identification, and after a while, he lowered his head sullenly: "...... It's her. ”

"Why is she here?" Also looking at the lightning that kept flashing in the sky, Xue Ling's brows furrowed slightly: "She is also involved in today's matter?" ”

"Since she is still a person who exists in the top player world, she must know more information than we do."

As if he had regained his mood, Duan Qing's voice then disappeared in front of him along with his figure that started running again: "But...... At this time, it is really unpredictable to clash head-on with the violet lord in the end. ”

"I guess she has her own reasons." The voice of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice then appeared behind Duan Qing's continuous running: "If her position has not changed during this time, then she should be in the same camp as us......"

"Not necessarily."

Shaking his head, Duan Qing's gaze slowly hid in the action of running with his head down: "Before we get definite news, it is better for us to prioritize the situation of predicting ourselves as isolated and helpless." ”

“…… Is that a comfort to me? ”

"It's just a matter of facts, and by the way, let's plan for the worst."

"Worst-case scenario...... Originally, my worst plan was just to be discovered by the Restorationists and die with you, but I didn't expect it to end up like this. ”

"Don't worry, that Violet Lord won't really do anything to us, don't forget ......"

The sound of running footsteps continued to echo between the streets and alleys that quickly swept by, and the last voice belonging to Duan Qing then also came to the north gate of Tanzanian City along with his figure crossing the last road: "We have one more request from her." ”

Rumble!

Just like in response to his words, the flaming cloud-like sky that was originally behind Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice also disappeared in front of everyone with a heavy muffled sound, and the clear blue sky over Tanzanian City also appeared in place with the complete disappearance of this cloud and mist, accompanied by another black shadow that was turned into a meteor by the swordsman who was lifted away by this muffled sound. Looking at the direction in which the black shadow slowly fell, the footsteps of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice following Duan Qing slowed down slightly, she looked at the purple-haired flower-robed magician who was standing in the middle of the sky again and seemed to be unharmed, and originally wanted to remind herself that the voice of the man in front of her was interrupted by a sudden warning from the other party: "Stop!" ”

"Hide!"

Carrying Maggie's body on his back, he stopped in the middle of the street that was about to reach the edge of the city gate, and Duan Qing, who had been looking forward to each other for a while, hurriedly took advantage of the evacuee crowd around him who had not completely dispersed and hid in the alley of one of the alleys: "Someone blocked the way out of the city. ”

"Is it the magician of the Violet Tower?" Xue Lingbing, who had put away her body, was lying quietly on Duan Qing's side, and her head turned over the other party's shoulder: "They shouldn't be moving so fast, right?" ”

"They may not move so quickly, but some do."

Slowly retracting his head, Duan Qing sighed a little helplessly: "It's someone from the city guards." ”

“…… Lott? The blinking Snow Spirit Phantom Ice subconsciously pronounced out a name: "Why did he do it so quickly-"

"It's not Lot, it's another Imperial Captain."

Duan Qing, who closed his eyes and pressed his body against the wall, then explained in a low voice: "After so many days in the barracks, I am also familiar with the appearance of those imperial soldier captains, and this ...... in front of me"

He poked his head out, and then quickly withdrew his gaze from a certain Imperial Captain who was guarding the center of the north gate with a group of city guards: "Although I don't know his name, his strength should be on the same level as Lotter. ”

"Is it the same level as Lot...... Hmph, there's nothing to be afraid of. ”

Gently twisting his wrist, Xue Ling's eyes showed a solemn look: "If the two of us shoot together, it's not impossible to rush out......

"It's not possible, because we're going to get entangled."

Raising his head, Duan Qing's gaze turned to the bodies of the few magicians who had just flown over his head: "As long as we are entangled for a short while, we may not be able to get out at all." ”

"The Violet Tower is assisting the Imperials in defending the city." Xue Ling, who also noticed this scene, frowned: "Strange...... Is something really going on? ”

"Didn't the old Hongshan Daoist say it before, and now that big drama may have started."

With a look of lamentation on his face, Duan Qing completely placed Maggie beside him in the corner of the alley: "And ......"

"I don't believe that no one wants to profit from this great opportunity."

He turned his head and looked diagonally across the alley from where they were, and the player-like people who had just stepped out of there then made their way through the crowd and sneakily walked in the direction of the north gate. Apparently noticing the Imperial guards guarding the gate, two of the players who were walking in the front stopped with a slight embarrassment, gathered with each other for a moment to discuss, and then boldly approached the gate of the North Gate: "Sorry, we ...... We have a mission, so ......"

"Huh? No, no, no, we're definitely not troublemakers, we ......"

"Although we are not the adventure group of Tanzania City, we are the adventure group of the empire, and this time we are entrusted by a nobleman of the empire to ...... the city."

"How is that possible? We also heard about the commotion and wanted to hurry out of the city, and we didn't ...... what was going on over there."

The staccato sound then passed through the noise and noise around him, and slowly transmitted the negotiation conversation between the team of players and the Imperial soldiers to Duan Qing's ears, and he who had been hiding in place and did not move, then he also stretched out his observation gaze again, and landed on a certain wooden box that the team of players was closely protecting at this time: "That group of people...... It looks familiar. ”

"Is it an acquaintance of the Fool Adventure Regiment?"

"That's right, the guy in the lead should be Black Corn, and they've been active in Tanzania City all this time, but I don't know why they came here......"

"You're in luck, because we seem to know right away...... Wait a minute. ”

A low whisper faded between the two players lying next to each other, accompanied by one or two players swaggering out of the city, looking at the faces of the group of players who were negotiating with the Imperial City Guards, and suddenly shouted at them, "These are not some adventure party from the Empire!" They are called the Fool Adventure Regiment, and they have come from the principality! ”

"What? You guys—ah! ”

"Negotiations failed, prepare to attack!"

The sudden flash of the sword then appeared in the air between the captain of the empire and the leading black-clothed player, accompanied by a roar that belonged to black corn as he pulled out his long knife: "Hu Tao! You go first with your stuff! ”

"Yes!"

The fierce battle was set off in front of this city gate with the actions of several players whose identities were broken, and in an instant, the nearby air was flooded with countless sword lights and sword shadows and the metal mixed in it, and the imperial captain who was forced back by a previous sneak attack then showed as strong strength as Duan Qing expected, but the result of stopping this team of players with only one person did not stop the figure of the thief who rushed out of the city gate with a wooden box. He let out a few angry roars, and the rest of his breath also fell on the heads of these players in front of him with his own anger, but Duan Qing, who was hiding on the side of the alley, immediately retracted his gaze, and at the same time pressed back the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice who wanted to be eager to try: "Don't go, they won't last long." ”

"We're not trying to help them, we can take advantage of the chaos to escape." Xue Lingphantom Ice blinked her eyes: "Just take advantage of the great opportunity for them to be restrained by this group of old friends......

"Don't you see those two guys? They're the players here. ”

Pointing to the figures of the two players who were still standing in the depths of the hole in the city gate, Duan Qing shook his head: "They should be arranged here specifically to identify us, Black Corn is just a group of unlucky ghosts, if we rush over now, we may not end up better than them." ”

"But the thief succeeded." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice looked at the direction where the Walnut Rakshasa disappeared with a little disgruntle: "Their purpose is obviously to escort that wooden box out of here......"

"Don't dream, it's one of the characteristics of the free world."

Let out a few low laughs, Duan Qing then pointed to the white staff beside him: "Items in the free world exist with the player, and quest items are even more so, this setting is a positive effect most of the time, but in this case, it ......"

"As long as they can kill the thief before he hides his whereabouts, and send him back to the city with the box, the mission of escorting the items will naturally fail." He said in a deep voice, "It's like ...... Your equipment will refresh as you respawn. ”

“…… Do they still have so many people outside the city? ”

"Most of the Hongshan Old Dao has already sent out the news of the vigilance, and if they sent several guild-level people to guard the vicinity of Tanzania City, I might believe it."

"So what should we do? We're not bringing anything, we're bringing real people. ”

"The biggest difference between people and objects is probably that people cannot be taken away by us who are reborn."

Turning his gaze back to the front where the commotion was continuing, Duan Qing said in a low voice: "The problem is how to solve this burden, you can be a swordsman, my fragile body as a magician, it seems to be a little difficult to complete the escape relay race...... Belch. ”

His voice suddenly stopped, accompanied by the action of turning around and looking behind him, and the two players walking together were stepping into the other end of the alley where he and Xue Lingbing were hiding, looking at Duan Qing's face with a stagnant and surprised gaze.

"Is that you?"
