285 Unexpected Disaster, Unyielding Shadow
"What? Did the wind and thunder tell you to go? ”
The afterglow of the setting sun turns the entire free world red, and this small room in Tania is no exception. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is approaching the autumn climate, such a sky has become extraordinarily bright, as if the whole room, the whole city is immersed in the autumn atmosphere. However, most players in the free world are not very interested in things like seasons, and what they pay the most attention to in this regard, in addition to the distribution of monsters and survival changes that come with them, the rest is to follow the aborigines of the continent and spend some festivals related to them throughout the year. These details don't have any concept in the minds of players like Mengzhu, because she, like Duan Qing, is a player who has just entered this game for a short time.
But the little girl is already familiar with the forces in this game.
"You took the blame for the people in the rivers and lakes?"
"What do you mean by backing the pot! It's just carrying people, carrying people. ”
Pouring down the black tea handed over by Ning Lan, Duan Qing wiped his mouth, and then panted and defended: "I just helped carry people to the council hall, and then I didn't have anything to do...... Meow, I thought there was something big, but in the end it was only physical work......"
"Hey, that's ...... That's the Speaker of the Principality! The little girl quickly suppressed the voice she had just raised, and then pressed the back of her hand to her lips: "You didn't break anything, did you?" ”
"No, someone else did it." Duan Qing let out a long breath: "What does it have to do with me." ”
"That'...... Who did that? ”
"How do I know?"
Looking at the warm sunlight shining in from the top of the room, the corners of Duan Qing's mouth tugged inexplicably: "How could I know." ”
This incident was indeed an accident, both for him and for the people of the rivers and lakes - Duan Qing did not take this opportunity to go out and be lazy as Mengzhu imagined, although he was bored wandering around the city for a while, and then rushed to the city gate on the west side of Tania, but he still saw the carriage mentioned in the mouth of the broken wind thunder as promised. It seemed to be a carriage used to transport goods, and it was quietly parked on the side of the road on the inside of the city gate, and whether it was passers-by or guards passing by, they didn't seem to have any intention of paying attention to this conspicuous brown carriage, which made Duan Qing, who was puzzled, a little unsure whether it was his goal this time. He rounded back and forth for a while, and finally came to the chariot when the guards at the gate nearly caught him again.
Then, he saw the Jianghu chief who was guarding the door of the carriage, and ...... Speaker of the Principality Pamir lying in the carriage.
"He was attacked outside the gates of the fortress."
At that time, Broken Wind Thunder said: "According to the pre-plan, the speaker originally planned to rush back to Tania yesterday. But they had just gone out and a few NPCs ...... The aborigine-like man suddenly appeared on the side of the road and ......"
"When we found the carriage, all the passengers were dead except him." He lowered his head and sighed, "It should have been done by the Imperials." ”
"Your protection is too weak, isn't it?" Duan Qing asked with slanted eyes.
"I've disappointed you, but ......" the scar-faced man grinned, "We were in the rivers and lakes at the time...... Not by his side. ”
He pointed to the man inside the carriage and said, "We don't even know about his arrival at the fortress. ”
"That dead fat man, he really didn't shake my ......"
Muttering to himself, Duan Qing looked at a figure who seemed to be sleeping on the seat in the carriage, and then slowly retracted his head: "Then when did you find out?" ”
"Yesterday." Broken Wind Thunder lowered his eyes: "Yesterday evening." ”
"No wonder you played so fast last night." Duan Qing shook his head and said, "It turns out that there is something......
"Hey...... You're still watching my game. ”
"I was forced to see it, and it's not ...... I want to see" Recalling the figure of a white-armored woman, Duan Qing replied with a shaking of his head.
“…… I don't bother to care about you. The scar that crossed his right eye writhed across the man's face, and then returned to the point: "Anyway, we were also temporarily ordered to send him back to this place today." To be on the safe side...... I called you over. ”
"There is no one in your rivers and lakes?" Duan Qing squinted his eyes again: "What about the others?" What about the sword of justice? ”
"None of them are insured."
Pointing around him, Broken Wind Thunder laughed again: "He is injured now, and he is not conscious, with the medical conditions of this continent, we want to send him back without a trace, and it is indeed still ...... There are some risks. ”
"What's more...... We were attacked when we came. He thought for a moment, then added.
“…… Or the Imperials? ”
"Yes. But...... It's all players. ”
Broken Wind Thunder looked into the other party's eyes: "The current situation...... It's weird. ”
"Hey ......"
Subconsciously looking around him, Duan Qing touched his nose to hide his expression: "Could it be ...... That's why you're here? ”
"We've been notified by the guild and they'll be keeping you safe along the way." Broken Wind Thunder smiled and said, "Of course...... It's in the dark, and God knows how many of them are ambushing in the city now. ”
"If it's all players, it's okay to say." Duan Qing looked at the distance on the road behind the city gate: "I'm afraid that there will be some kind of demons and monsters......
"Don't worry, there are more demons and monsters in the city than you think."
The man with the scar lowered his head and said, "And count...... You should also count as one. ”
"Don't expect me to help." Duan Qing tilted his head and said, "Although I still have some friendship with this guy, but ......"
"This principality is really unfriendly to us."
"How do you think the Speaker was attacked?"
Broken Wind Thunder snorted coldly: "The Pamirs secretly visited the Fars Fortress, and even our rivers and lakes have not received any news, such a secret operation...... Why was he still poked out? ”
"......" Duan Qing fell silent.
"The only people who can poke it out are themselves." Broken Wind Thunder whispered, "Or the bigwigs in Tania." ”
"You want to say...... Someone betrayed the Speaker? Duan Qing hesitated and asked, "Because of what?" Is it because of the Speaker's adventurous bill? ”
"I'm just proposing a possibility." Broken Wind Thunder replied, "But...... There is also a fact that can explain something. ”
"According to our survey, outsiders in the principality ...... It's starting to get more. He looked at the other man's face: "It's very difficult for them to do this without help." ”
"I know some signs, but ...... Adventurers are inherently free to move around at will, and this is the same everywhere in the Free Continent. Duan Qing leaned his body against the edge of the carriage: "We have no reason to stop people." ”
“…… Truly. Broken Wind Thunder nodded: "But...... What if they were all members of the same force? ”
Duan Qing's eyes narrowed.
"The silence of the Empire, the assault on the inside of the fortress, and so many familiar faces...... In short, this matter has become very troublesome now. Sensing the other party's reaction, Breaking Wind Thunder slightly moved away: "So I don't want to talk about our previous things, let's ...... Let's focus on the present. ”
"Before the discussion? Will I come over again? Climbing into the carriage very cooperatively, Duan Qing raised his hands: "Say, what to do." ”
"We have to split up." Broken Wind Thunder said: "I, and some reliable people in our guild, will pretend to be the same, set out from this place, do some cover and disguise for you, and then ......"
"Wait, wait, wait." Duan Qing hurriedly stopped the other party's words: "Why me, can't you take him back?" ”
"My goal is too obvious, and ......" Broken Wind Thunder looked at the big knife behind the other party: "You ...... now" It should be strong, right? ”
"Compliments are good, but ...... The compliments that come out of your mouth, why do I feel different? ”
After checking the physical condition of the man in the carriage, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "When will it start?" ”
"Wait a minute." Broken Wind Thunder closed his eyes, like an old man recuperating his spirits: "Wait for my signal." ”
"And then? And then you just carried him back like that, huh? ”
In the hut of the Adventurers' Association, Mengzhu, who tilted his head, hurriedly pulled Duan Qing's arm: "There is no other story in the middle?" ”
"What more story do you want?" Duan Qing shouted: "I don't want any story in the middle, otherwise I really won't be able to come back today......"
"So, did you say anything to the Speaker or something......
"A dead man, what is there to say."
Duan Qing in the room twisted his neck, and then pressed his hands in the other party's frightened expression: "What are you afraid of, it's just to describe it...... He's basically in a coma, how can I talk to him? ”
"So, is the speaker seriously injured?" The golden ponytail swayed in the air a few times, and then Mengzhu's cautious voice came: "Shall we ......?"
"I don't know if the injury is serious or not, anyway, I have already lost that living person to that dead fat man."
Duan Qing put his hands behind his head: "There are still so many people in front of the hall...... Alas, anyway, it's only the people who should be hidden, the guys who want to know...... Naturally, you can still know. ”
"The safety of the principality ......"
"That...... It's not our turn to worry about it. ”
Looking at the little girl's worried eyes, Duan Qing said with some amusement: "The war between the two countries is not something that a few of us small players can decide...... Let them worry about it. ”
"Let's just do what we have to do." He lowered his head, hid the cold light in his eyes, and then smiled and persuaded him, "It's useless for you to worry about these things." ”
"Well, since you say so......" Nodding slowly, the little girl sat down at the back of the wooden table again: "Then we will discuss it...... Your contribution question today. ”
"Uh......" A large bead of sweat appeared on his face, and Duan Qing's expression immediately became embarrassed: "That and that...... I'm also on official business, on official business! ”
"Official business? What about the money you make? ”
“…… Aha, I forgot to ask for Broken Wind Thunder. Duan Qing, who was grabbing his head, rolled his eyes back and forth: "Why don't you ...... You're going to talk to him? ”
"Talk a fart!" The little girl jumped up: "As a result, you still haven't done anything!" Nothing was done for the whole day! Even if it's Sister Ning Lan, she has cleaned up this place well! You, you ......"
"Don't get excited, don't get excited, making money is a trivial matter, it's just a matter of time for me." Hurriedly waving his hands, Duan Qing slowly retreated to the door of the room, ready to escape at any time: "Not today, there will always be tomorrow......"
"I don't believe you!" Mengzhu gritted his teeth tightly: "Not today, not yesterday, not before...... When will it be? You don't want to stay at home...... Don't run! ”
In the smile of the maid behind the table, Mengzhu, who was dancing with teeth and claws, quickly jumped over the square table in the center, and rushed to the door with a swift pace that Duan Qing couldn't react to, stopping him who tried to sneak out quietly, the latter raised his hands with a dry smile, and slowly took two steps back: "I, I didn't mean that hahahaha...... Hey? ”
In front of him, behind Mengzhu, who was blocking the door with his back against the small door, a trace of fiery red hair appeared outside the door that had just been opened a little gap by Duan Qing, and then disappeared again with Mengzhu's action of closing the door. He slowly stopped his begging for mercy, and then walked to the little girl's side under her puzzled gaze: "That ...... just now"
"You, what are you going to do? I warn you ......"
"Oh, I'm not leaving, you give way first...... Oops, don't run! ”
With Duan Qing's movements, the small door was opened again, and the figure of a red-haired girl in a white robe was standing outside behind the door, and then gradually retreated as Duan Qing opened the door, as if to turn around and flee from this place. Seeing this scene, Duan Qing naturally wouldn't let go of the red-haired figure named Thousand Fingered Crane, he hurriedly chased out of the door, and then pulled the red-haired girl back in the side eyes of the players in the hall.
“…… What do you run, just say what you have to say. ”
The sound of conversation in her ears was getting closer and closer, and the little girl standing at the door looked at the figures of the two people pulling each other over, and then gave way to her body slightly, and let the two into the room: "Are you...... Yesterday's ......"
"I, I ......"
Lowering her head, the red-haired girl rubbed her hands uneasily, and then raised her head under the eyes of the three people looking around: "Are you...... The leader of the Fool Adventure Band? ”
"Uh...... Yes. The little girl straightened her face meaningfully, and then looked at the nervous expression hidden under the other party's long red hair: "Is there something wrong, Miss Thousand Fingered Crane?" ”
"I ......"
Looking up at the maid who was still smiling in the distance, and then at Duan Qing's smiling face on the side, the girl shook her fist as if she was cheering herself up, and then raised her face.
"I still want to join your party...... May I? (To be continued.) )
