"Okay, let's stop training for now."

Squinting at the appearance of the figure gradually approaching in the distance, Duan Qing involuntarily waved his hand and said, "You, go and pick up the guests—ouch!" ”

"Pay attention to your wording, now I'm the head of the regiment." Looking at the head of the gray-robed magician who had succumbed to his fist with a warning look, Xue Lingphantom Ice shook his head and walked towards the rear of the station: "Aren't you the best at fighting with words?" If you don't go to this kind of thing, who will go? ”

"But that person—" Gesturing in the direction where the person came, Duan Qing's outstretched arm finally stopped in mid-air: "That person, that person, he ...... Uh, okay. ”

"Why do you meet acquaintances everywhere?" He pondered the situation in front of him for a moment, and finally walked forward in the direction that Gedmayne had dragged with a smile on his face: "Welcome! Welcome to the new territory of our Green Spirit Adventure Troupe, who are-"

"My name is Lufen, and I'm the president of the Lufin Chamber of Commerce."

Crossing the dividing line of the earthen wall gate, the grassland wind around the comer also disappeared around the figure of the comer with the appearance of the old man's face like a knife and axe, and the self-proclaimed tribe that was completely different from that of the tribe on this continent also kept echoing in Duan Qing's ears as the old man took off his windproof hood: "I heard that a team of adventurers suddenly appeared on the Wind Continent, so I specially came to visit." ”

"Fortunately." With his hands folded in front of him, Duan Qing, who bowed his hands, also replied to the old man who was dressed in tribal clothes and had tanned skin: "It's just that I just came to this continent, and I haven't even found a place to live." ”

"Praying for a place to live is also a custom unique to the people of the Free Continent, and there are not many tribes here in our Wind Continent who are used to staying in one place." Nodding his head with a smile, the old man who called himself Lu Fen stretched out his hand towards Duan Qing: "So those of us who make a living from commerce and trade also have to follow their rules and keep moving around this endless grassland. ”

"I'm in a different situation than they are, and I need to travel more than they do."

During the action of the two people shaking hands with each other, the old man showed his bright smile at Duan Qing again: "But in order to survive, this little road is actually nothing, hahahaha!" ”

"A cheerful businessman, huh?" Tilting his head to look at the other party's old and dark face, Duan Qing, who withdrew his hand, also showed his bright smile: "Although the time spent on this continent is relatively short, we adventurers are still extremely happy to see the existence of people close to us." ”

"No, no, no, we're merchants, not adventurers." As if he didn't agree with what Duan Qing said, the old and sturdy Lu Fen hurriedly pointed to the carriage looming behind him: "If we were really like you, if we had to sneak in any danger to find out, I'm afraid these goods behind me would not be able to save it for a long time." ”

"I'm not referring to the 'adventurer' profession, I'm referring to the feeling you give me." The smile on his face retracted slightly, and Duan Qing's eyes as he looked at each other took on a little seriousness: "Unlike the people of the tribes on the grassland, you look more like people from our side." ”

"Oh? Is it? That's a compliment. Clapping his hands, Lu Fin nodded with a smile on his face: "Those clans who often trade with our Chamber of Commerce say the same, and they also like the way our Lu Fin Chamber of Commerce acts." ”

“…… That's fine. ”

looked at each other fixedly for a while, and the corners of Duan Qing's mouth slowly curled: "Meeting strangers in a foreign land is always something worth celebrating, this feeling is as kind as meeting an old acquaintance...... Do you want to come in and talk? ”

"No need, because I don't think your station has been built yet." Looking up and down, left and right, the old man Lu Fin shook his head with his hands behind his back: "I wanted to talk to you about the cooperation between us in the leased station, but now forget it." ”

"You also wish there was a place to settle in this grassland?"

"Of course, after all, it's a chamber of commerce, and it's not a good thing to be out and about all the time."

He shouted as if he had found a bosom friend, and the old man with wide-eyebrows pointed at Duan Qing's face in surprise: "Build a magnificent hall and hang the four big words 'Lufin Chamber of Commerce' at the door of the hall - haha!" This is what our Chamber of Commerce should look like! ”

"I'm glad you think so highly of us, but isn't this level of cooperation a little too early for the first time for both parties?" Seemingly a little unaccustomed to the enthusiasm shown by this old businessman at this time, Duan Qing frowned slightly: "And this place is so remote-"

"Because you are adventurers! Adventurers are enough to be trusted by me! Interrupting Duan Qing's words with an excited expression, the old man Lu Fen happily raised his finger for explanation: "As for things like geographical location...... These are not problems at all! As long as we reach a cooperation intention, we have the opportunity to discuss the location of the station! ”

“…… Your Excellency seems to have recognized us as a partner to work with. His face sank, and Duan Qing's face finally brought a trace of seriousness: "Can you tell us your specific intention to cooperate?" We still have a lot of work to do. ”

"Intent? You're referring to the scheme, right? Reaching out and pinching the beard at the corner of his mouth, the dark-skinned old man then put on his characteristic smile as a merchant again: "This is also the purpose of our special run to you after hearing about the existence of you people. ”

"Are you interested in being mercenaries for our Loufin Chamber of Commerce?"

He stared at Duan Qing's face with a radiant look, and his upright chest also perfectly interpreted the words "confident": "That is, the people who protect our Lufin Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"Protection?" Glancing in the direction of the horse team looming behind the other party, Duan Qing couldn't help but assess up and down for a moment: "A chamber of commerce like yours still needs mercenaries?" Do you lack such manpower? ”

"Ah, I see, you're worried about your own safety, aren't you?" A glimmer of light appeared between the eyes obscured by the tribal headdress, and Lu Fen's outstretched finger slashed hard in front of him: "Don't worry! Although we were often attacked by wolves and other wild beasts on the way to the merchants, and we often had some inexplicable conflicts with the warriors of some tribes, our situation was still very safe on the whole! And this please, you - hmm. ”

"In short, the people of our Chamber of Commerce have taken a fancy to your ability."

As if he had suddenly noticed something, Lu Fen's originally impassioned voice suddenly lowered as he turned his gaze to the side, and after a slight pause, he also retracted his gaze at the other three or two players who were still busy around this station, and casually returned to the previous topic: "Being able to survive and establish a station in such a grassland is already a proof of the strength of your team, since we have encountered this opportunity, why should we give up?" ”

"We're not going to let that opportunity slip away easily." Spreading his hands, Duan Qing, who was also smiling, also nodded: "Please let us think about it for a while, how about it?" ”

"Our caravan is currently in the vicinity of the Nassu territory, and the plan for trading and buying and selling is three days." Confirming in the direction of Duan Qing, Lu Fen's figure covered with various small decorations then turned to the gate of the station under the gaze of Gedmayne: "You should be able to enter and leave the Sioux territory freely now, right?" Then we'll be waiting for you in the Sioux settlement. ”

"Waiting for your good news."

He waved his hand, and his slow pace gradually disappeared in the silent atmosphere at the end of Duan Qing's field of vision, and the old carriage that followed him then turned around in unison with the old man's departure, and gradually disappeared in the direction of the Nasu territory that was vaguely appearing in the distance with the full cart of goods. With a long breath, Duan Qing, who had been smiling all the time, finally put away the kind look on his face, and the team members who had been working around the settlement also left their casual appearances with Lu Fen's departure, and gathered towards Duan Qing's location in unison: "That guy...... Did he notice something? ”

"I guess I saw your face, and the only person he might know here is you, the one who once appeared in Liberty City."

"So—can we confirm his identity?"

"That's right, it should be him."

Nodding his head at the people who were squatting together, Duan Qing's voice as if he was plotting concluded affirmatively: "The skin is a little tanned, but the spirit is more than at that time." ”

"If he managed to cross the bridge before us, it could have happened."

He sighed, and his raised gaze involuntarily fell to the outer periphery of the station farther away, and the chaotic thoughts and memories seemed to begin to flash in his mind as his gaze became farther away, and the next moment he was instantly pulled back by the sound of discussion in front of him: "But even he should have nothing to do with the past." ”

"That's right, and we don't seem to have a few people who have established a very friendly relationship with him at the moment, and needless to say, your reputation is simply cleared......

"Wouldn't that be nice! Now that people have chosen to start over, there must be nothing wrong with those of us who are starting over here! I agree to this deal! What about you? ”

"I don't think it's right, I follow this caravan around without knowing any information, what if they sell it?"

"It's a real opportunity."

Interrupting the usual quarrel between the two strong men in front of him in a deep voice, Xue Lingphantom Bing once again fell his inquiring gaze on Duan Qing's body: "But the situation does look very weird, what do you think?" ”

"Even when he was alert, the other party still did not give up the invitation." It seemed that he had finally begun to think about it, and Duan Qing also frowned his eyebrows: "Either the other party doesn't care about our identity and really hopes that we can join the caravan, or there is some special reason." ”

"For a special reason." After staring at it for a while, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice lowered her gaze to the face of Gedmayne on the side: "Do you notice any signs?" You also brought the people back, what happened before? ”

"Well, it's just that when we were peddling wolf skins, we met a person who came forward to talk to us." Shrugging his shoulders, Gedmane replied indifferently: "At first, we thought it was a guest, and we didn't care about letting others know our information, so we answered some questions from him, and then the other party made a request, hoping to come and see our station." ”

"I did explain to him that our station was still under construction, but the man didn't seem to care." He recalled the details that happened in front of him, but the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter: "He even took away the wolf skins from our hands at a higher price, and gave us some fine wine from the grassland......"

"I see, that's how those flasks came from." Glancing at the "kettle" on Asahi Dongsheng's waist next to him, Mengzhu, who was wearing a black cloak and hood, finally made a cold voice: "Shouldn't it be because you accepted other people's benefits, so you nodded and agreed to attract them, right?" ”

"What?" Asahi Dongsheng took the lead in patting his thigh and stood up: "Since you have accepted other people's gifts, it's nothing to help others do a little something, and it's just a recommendation-"

"What, do you think of anything?"

"Speaking of which, that person does seem suspicious."

The raised hand gradually lowered, and the one-armed Asahi Dongsheng turned to rub his chin: "Although the man doesn't talk much, he seems to have been staring at our face closely. ”

"Now it looks like he's not staring at our faces, but at the top of our heads." He pointed to the top of his head, and there was a sudden look in his eyes: "That guy is also a player, he can see our ID!" ”

"You're talking about that Lufen?" Duan Qing's eyes widened: "He's a player?" How can it be? ”

"No, he's not talking about the old guy, he's talking about another guy in the caravan." Shaking his head, Gedmayne, whose eyes were straight, then also muttered in a voice: "At first, he also came to ask us about the news, and the situation was quite chaotic at that time, so we really didn't pay attention to whether that person had an ID or something...... Shh ”

"So we were found so soon?"
