"Richard, President Richard......"

“……”

"I, I'm Mengzhu, I'm ......"

"Don't call me president."

The two people, who still did not change, maintained a motionless posture, and at the same time gradually spread their deep voices to the surroundings of the darkness, and the silhouette of the uncle who gradually appeared in the shadows and the posture of holding the sword did not waver in the slightest, until the little girl's whole body began to shake non-stop before she spoke again: "Since Fenghua Town can't take it back, my name as the president has no meaning, and now I just stay here...... It's just a matter of breathing. ”

"President...... You're hurt? ”

Finally discovering a trace of abnormality, Mengzhu, who had a surprised look, turned his head regardless of himself, and then landed his gaze on Richard's chest wrapped in layers of bandages: "You, why are you injured?" And it's so serious......"

"It seems...... You don't seem to know what happened that day. ”

The hideous blade finally disappeared in place with the drop of the sword-holding hands, and Richard's breath began to become unstable, and the white color that belonged to the bandage was then leaned against the wall behind him with the weak body wrapped in it: "You...... How did you get out of Windflower? ”

"The battle that day?" The little girl who stepped forward to help the other party fluttered slightly, and then replied with a memory: "Didn't the hilltop square that day be occupied by Vizad's people later?" And then ...... They surrounded the library, and then a lot of black gas poured out of the library......"

"And then we all hung up...... Well, we were blown away by that black wind. Temporarily retracted his description, and Mengzhu's voice became much more hesitant: "By the time we woke up from the coma, we had already returned to the coalition camp......

“…… Is that so? ”

Reaching out to cover his chest, Richard said in a vague voice, "If what you say is true...... Then you don't have anything to do with those restorationists? ”

"Of course we don't have a relationship anymore!" seemed to remember the treatment he had received during this time, and Mengzhu's voice also became indignant: "I don't know why, everyone treats us as murderers and betrayers......"

"Murderer? Defector? ”

A slight strange look appeared on Richard's face, who looked at Mengzhu's face: "What is that?" ”

"You, you don't know?" Mengzhu's eyes widened slightly: "We are ...... during this time We were identified by the Mage Council as the culprit of the defeat of the war, but we are the ones who fought up the mountain with everyone! How did you become a murderer? ”

“……”

His gaze gradually fixed on Mengzhu's face, Richard didn't say a word for a long time, and finally staggered towards the already dilapidated Adventurers' Guild in the support of the other party, who still didn't let go: "I'm sorry, but I haven't left here since that day, so ...... I haven't heard of anything you just said. ”

"No, didn't leave here?" Mengzhu's voice became even more surprised: "How is it possible?" Now it's all restorationists out there......"

"The most dangerous place is the safest place - that's what you adventurers taught me."

Reaching out to remove the debris piled up on the abandoned bar in the hall of the association, Richard staggered across the threshold of the room behind: "What's more, I was stabbed by someone, and I can't walk if I want to......"

"You ......"

The smell of medicine and blood then came from behind the door, and the little girl had just wanted to ask again, she looked at the room full of herbs, which was completely different from the original sloppy style, and after a while opened her mouth: "You, you...... Who hurt you? ”

"I'm not a master, I'm going to get hurt and I'm going to die."

Sitting down on the worn-out wooden bed with difficulty, Richard's voice began to grow much quieter: "The god of fate has not endowed me with a body of steel, and my life is not as squandered as an ordinary weapon, so I owe a debt of gratitude to fate for allowing me to survive such a situation...... Oh, that Mo Shangqing also once said that I belong to the kind of person who is hard-hitting, and judging from the current results, there seems to be nothing wrong with what he said. ”

"Yes, yes?" Mengzhu's expression stiffened for a moment: "He...... We're looking for him now, do you know where he is? ”

"Before I do that, I have one more question for you."

Gradually, the body lying on the bed gradually became still, but the cold aura of nothingness enveloped the little girl's body with Richard's eyes raised again: "You...... How did you find this place? Is it also the guidance of fate? ”

"I, I'm ......" the startled little girl stumbled and replied, "I, I didn't...... It's not what you think, I just inquired about you in the Windy Night Forest for a while, and then ......"

"According to the man, you're no longer part of an adventuring group."

Interrupting the other party's words lightly, Richard's eyes became sharper: "You guys...... Are you still a companion now? ”

"What, what?" Mengzhu's pupils widened slightly: "What does this mean?" ”

"Fenghua Town is very large, and it is not easy to find someone in the long mountain town." Without answering the other person's question directly, Richard shifted the subject in another direction: "I don't mean that you found the Adventurers' Guild here now, after all, you should have a lot of time to search this area, but ......"

"If you want to find him, it's probably a different story." His voice was as cold as the abyss: "If you have any other ideas, I would like to advise you...... Not. ”

Silence appeared for a moment with his abrupt stop words, and at the same time there was Richard's expression that suddenly became vigilant again, and the door behind the two people was then pushed open with his sudden action of grabbing the big sword, and the figure of a certain man gradually appeared, looking at the figure of an old man and a young man who were facing each other by the wooden bed, the man who came in was slightly stunned, and then faced Mengzhu's surprised and happy face, and put down the ham in his hand with a wry smile: "I only found such a thing after looking for a long time, but I didn't expect it...... Now there's an extra mouth. ”

"Great, uncle!"

***********************

"Uncle Nolan's ham, do you want to try it?"

“…… No. ”

"You're welcome, this is the ...... we managed to steal."

"Oh, I don't want it! We've been eating this stuff for days! You, you...... Where have you been these days? ”

Outside the door of the Adventurers' Association, near the flower bush on the east side of Huawu Street, the figures belonging to Mengzhu and Duan Qing then stood in front of the ruins after the collapse of a large number of houses, arguing with each other under the light of the night sky of the cliff: "We have been looking for you for a long time, do you know?" Outside, outside now ......"

"I know, I know."

Both hands pushed the other party's fist out of his face, and Duan Qing's voice involuntarily brought a little helplessness: "Isn't it just some rumors, they like to say, can you still control them?" ”

"If only they liked to move their mouths!" The little girl's golden hair kept swaying back and forth in the air: "Everyone is doing it now, okay?" I'm laughing at Hongchen and them...... In the past few days, he has been hunted down and killed as a traitor! ”

“…… Are you sure? Duan Qing, who was pushing his hands, his face sank slightly: "I didn't expect this...... What do they say? ”

"How? It's not your fault! ”

It seemed that the question he wanted to ask was finally mentioned, and Mengzhu's face was about to reach Duan Qing's nose: "The battle of that day...... What did you do when you finally got through that Alien Door? ”

"What did you do?" Duan Qing's eyes began to flicker to the left and right: "Of course it's a fight, what else can you do......

"Fighting? Fight with whom? The little girl stared at each other's eyes tightly, and her hands involuntarily crossed her waist: "Is it a fight with the Restorationists, or a fight with the people of the Mage Council?" ”

"Yes, of course...... The Restoration. Duan Qing replied in a hesitant voice, "This kind of question still needs to be asked?" Have you been knocked on the head by someone's stick......"

"Look me in the eye and answer my questions well."

Taking a deep breath, Mengzhu's voice slowly returned from its original excitement to its usual tone: "That list...... Did you kill the names of the Mage Council mentioned above? ”

“…… Be. ”

His eyes stayed on the face of the little girl who was a head shorter than himself for a moment, Duan Qing smiled and nodded: "It's a ...... I'll kill it. ”

"What do you mean?" So Mengzhu raised his voice by two points: "Don't just take the black cauldron!" ”

"Black cauldron? Inexistent. Duan Qing still maintained the smile he deserved: "I still remember what happened at that time, so unless there is a deviation in my understanding, otherwise...... I should have remembered nothing wrong about what happened. ”

“……”

"Do you know what the word 'coincidence' means?"

Looking at the eyes of Mengzhu, who was speechless, Duan Qing reached out and touched the other party's head: "The efforts and choices made by everyone have woven together into a history called 'destiny', but not all fates will go to the established track as they strive for, otherwise this world will become a beautiful world where everyone will be happy......

"You, what are you talking about?"

"There is no fate...... It appeared out of thin air out of people's will. ”

Turning his head to look at the end of the night in the space outside the cliff, Duan Qing's gaze also became as deep as the night: "The trajectory of fate that appears against the will often occupies most of people's lives, and the same is true in our current game world...... However, under certain conditions, there are also some fateful trajectories that are unexpected by all the people on both sides of the competition, and then presented to the onlookers with jaw-dropping results as a companion product of confrontation and dumping. ”

"This kind of product is what we often call a coincidence."

Pointing to the beautiful stars in the night sky, he turned to Mengzhu and smiled, "Although in most cases, they are often remembered as real. ”

"You, what do you mean ......" The little girl's eyes became clearer, "When you and Nina were in another dimension...... Accidentally killed a lot of people? ”

“…… I'll give you a little bit of food to Richard, who is still sick and wounded, but ...... With his physical fitness, he should be able to eat whatever he wants. ”

Stretching out his hand and signaling the direction of the Adventurer's Association, Duan Qing replied and said: "In the past few days, in order to solve that guy's food, I have become a representative of the wandering crime, and I have achieved a little at the beginning, but the noise is getting bigger and bigger, and now I am about to become a wanted criminal in the Magic Empire hanging on the Wind Flower Square......"

"It's like we're not wanted now." Mengzhu, who was touching his pocket, muttered quietly, "Thanks to the experience of the past few days, my stealth technique feels a little more proficient than before." ”

"I can see it, and now I have learned how to make tools...... You also made this hook yourself? ”

"No, Uncle Val helped me build it...... No, it's not! Don't deflect the question just now! ”

“…… Still have questions? ”

"What the hell is going on in another dimension? And also...... Why do you say that we are no longer part of an adventuring group? ”

“…… Okay, okay, let's go deliver the food, and when you're done, come with me, I'...... Take you to a place. ”

The sound of the conversation became smaller and smaller as the two figures gradually separated, and finally disappeared in the direction of their respective shadows, and the figure belonging to Mengzhu then re-entered the gate of the Adventurer's Guild, and then slipped out again after a period of cold wind howling. Following the man's steps with a complicated expression, Mengzhu and Duan Qing then came to the range where the tower of the Mage Council opposite the Adventurers' Association was located, and then after passing through the thousands of holes caused by the battle that night, they came to a small mound of earth: "...... here?" ”

"Shhh......h I'm just taking you over to have a look, but I'm not here to stand in this place and explain it to you. ”

Pointing to the silent air around him, Duan Qing replied with a serious face, "...... here"

"It's Norman's grave."
