The city of Liberty in 796 looks almost indistinguishable from the previous year, and the scars from the Battle of Morne have been erased over time, replaced by more and more rebuilt buildings and new merchant ships coming and going outside the port city. More and more mainland players have also haunted the city with the exchange of these merchant ships and caravans, and the degree of commerce and trade in the city has become more and more prosperous, and the chaos and darkness that this city should have have have gradually disappeared in the noise and rendering of these people.

At least on the surface.

"What? Pay the entrance fee? Wasn't it called the Housing and Work Fee before? Why did you change your name so quickly, no, you don't look like the same people we made last time! If it's a different person, please go to the gang in charge of this city to confirm yourself, okay? ”

Skillfully dealing with the three or two idle people who came forward to interrogate when he walked into the city, Duan Qing frowned and said casually, and the sword light and sword shadow also fell around him with his unkind eyes, accompanied by the fierce gaze that belonged to Xue Ling, Phantom Ice and the others. seemed to be a little annoyed by the uncooperative attitude of the few people who appeared in front of him at this time, and the same evil aura appeared in the hanging eyes of these players in front of him, and Tian Xingjian, who saw that the situation was not good, then hurriedly blocked in front of the two groups of people, beckoning his subordinates to start taking cover: "The people of the teacher group just visited your boss two days ago, why didn't they know each other so soon?" Didn't we all negotiate the terms of exchange that you proposed earlier? ”

"I know you still have opinions on the three percent that are separated, but if you have any opinions, you have to mention them in person! What does it mean that the people who block us all day long are secretly stumbling? ”

"What? They are not our people? They are indeed not our people, they are the Qingling Adventure Band, the Brotherhood we just met......"

"Haven't heard of this guild? No, I haven't heard of it."

Bang!

A heavy crash then sounded on the edge of the gate of the City of Freedom, and with the heavy giant axe that the rising sun suddenly shot out, it reverberated in the sky above the crowd waiting for the action to freeze, and the giant axe warrior who pulled out one of the players then withdrew his disdainful eyes from the rest of the people in front of him, and slowly invited Duan Qing in front of him: "I haven't heard of it, have you?" Now you've heard about it. ”

"You, you wait for me!"

Feeling a bad feeling from the difference in strength, several troublemakers hurriedly left the scene with their last words: "The people of the Sanhe Gang will not let you go!" ”

"I feel like you've been in the Free City since you entered the city, and your initiative has suddenly increased a lot." Quietly raising his eyelids, Gedmayne, who also put away his shield, chuckled and commented: "Have you finally found a place suitable for a lawless person like you, so let go of your hands and feet?" ”

"Less, you don't know why." Pointing to the shield that the other party had put away in a hurry, Asahi replied unceremoniously, "Only by shining their fangs longer than those people will they stop running to provoke us because they are afraid." ”

"That's right."

Shaking his head, Duan Qing, who also put away his tense face, said quietly: "Even if you show your fangs, we don't need to let them everywhere...... Hmm, has the carriage been found? ”

"The inn outside the city has just experienced a battle, and both the administrator and the travelers are gone." The body that Duan Qing was looking at lowered downward, and Ning Lan, who was driving a carriage and gradually approaching, then replied with a smile: "So Ning Lan can only borrow one for herself." ”

"It seems that the local customs here have not changed at all." Sighing slightly, Duan Qing's gaze was retracted from the carriage behind Duan Qing: "Okay, as long as there is a place to rest, Fula's safety will be handed over to you for the time being." ”

"Let's go inside." He glanced around again, and then nodded to each other with Xue Lingphantom Ice: "Once born and twice cooked, not to mention those of us who have been here before." ”

"If you have a good experience, it's not impossible to come back more often in the future."

As if returning to his own back garden, he slowly led the team in a certain direction in the city, and the darkness of countless streets and alleys and the moat filled with foul smell also appeared in front of several people in turn, and finally accompanied by the passage of the city lord's mansion and the disappearance of sunlight, he came to the chaotic streets and alleys near the dock: "I remember this place, right?" ”

"The dock area of Liberty City is indeed the base of the Eastside Society, but they haven't been active here for a long time." It was no longer possible to tell whether Duan Qing and the others were local snakes, and Tian Xingjian finally replied in a low voice: "At that time, people still called the matter of 'coming to talk about business with Jingdong Dragon Lu Bench' as worshipping the dock, but unfortunately time has passed, and there are not even a few people left......

"What, not here?" The rising sun on the side immediately raised his eyebrows: "Why are you talking so well when you're not here?" ”

"I didn't bring it here!" Tian Xingjian hurriedly clarified himself: "And there is nothing wrong with coming here!" Bench Lu isn't here, isn't there someone else who can receive you? You can ask someone from the East City Society to take you to him! ”

"We want a helper who can help right away, not a dock or something like that! If we can't find him, why should the people of the Eastside Society listen to us? Can't you rely on your face? ”

"Well, well, our after-school teaching corps is not familiar with this evil star, except for the few faces we had seen when we fought on the Molna Star at the beginning......"

"You nodded so well before, what are you bringing us for? Come and see the monkeys? ”

"Uh, this and this ......"

"Who's making a fuss here?"

The warning that suddenly sounded then appeared in front of Duan Qing and the others, and all the disputes that several people wanted to rise just now were roared, and the warrior player with a Dongshan logo on his chest and a thick velvet felt hat on his head also appeared in front of everyone with a few subordinates, and swept Duan Qing's face with a scrutinizing gaze: "Looking for death, aren't you?" ”

"He is Tian Xingjian of the after-school teacher group, and he brought us to worship the pier together." The fierce look on his face quickly turned into a smile, and Duan Qing and the others were so skilled that they pushed Tian Xingjian to the front as if they had been rehearsed in advance: "If you are offended, please forgive me." ”

"After-School Teachers' Corps? It's the one that Teacher Zhou Xue pulled up later, right? The unkind expression on his face subsided a little, and the leading warrior player then took off the fur hat that was buckled on his head a little: "I am chopping melons and vegetables, and I am currently in charge of the work of the Dongcheng Guild for the time being." ”

"If there's anything you want, just talk to me about it first."

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

"It turned out to be Mr. Chop, I really don't know Taishan."

Some time later, in the evening of the night, in a humble tavern near the dock in the City of Freedom, Duan Qing, who had just sat down, then raised his wine glass and spilled a little of the yellow-brown wine in it with the action of clinking glasses: "We have heard of Mr. Chop's name a long time ago, and we didn't expect to meet in such a way today, it's surprising, it's surprising." ”

"Don't use this kind of crepe dialogue, I'm just a rough person."

Squinted his eyes at Duan Qing for a while, the player named Chopping Melons and Chopping Vegetables also showed his shiny bald head under his fur hat under the light of the tavern at this time: "Coarse people are only suitable for coarse people's way of communication, and there is no need to talk about superfluous polite words, I heard the young man from the teacher group say, you specially designated to meet our Dongcheng Society?" ”

"Well, we have some mission clues, and I'd like to ask you to help us find out." Scratching his nose, Duan Qing, who had carefully considered for a moment, then replied with a dry smile: "Let's think about it, there is only one Dongcheng Club in this city that is suitable for please." ”

"There are more gangs in this city that are stronger than our East City Club." Shaking his head, he took a big sip of wine and cut melons and vegetables, and then returned his gaze to Duan Qing's body: "But before that, I also have questions for you." ”

"What do you want to do?" He withdrew his subordinates, but the vigilance in his eyes did not decrease in the slightest: "All of you who claim to be the Qingling Adventure Group, especially you, Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, your deeds in the Alliance, and what you did on the Free Continent, Lao Tzu still remembers it clearly." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, all my deeds on the mainland should have nothing to do with your Dongcheng Society." A calm and calm appearance appeared among the white hairs, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was named by the other party, replied in a low voice: "Since we have no grudges in the past, this small adventure group under my command has something to talk to you, don't they?" ”

"That's the truth, but this small temple in the City of Liberty can't hold a god like you." Pouting his lips and clasping his arms, he glanced out of the tavern with his mouth on the melon and vegetables: "If you make a big disturbance in this place, we can't afford it." ”

"So don't worry, it's just a little bit of what we want to ask you." With his arms propped up on the messy table in front of him, Duan Qing also whispered, "Because these tasks are more ...... Uh, special, at first we just wanted to say it to Lu Bench alone, if Your Excellency can call the shots, we now say that it doesn't hurt for you to listen. ”

"The first thing I want to do is to help us contact the Reiner City Lord."

His voice paused, then looked at the eyes of the melon chopping and chopping vegetables to signal continuation, and continued: "We have investigated the origin of Freedom City before, but there are some discrepancies between the story and the mission information we have, so I want to find the person who is here and hope to get the most authoritative answer." ”

"Don't look at us like that, this matter must be kept secret." Asahi Dongsheng on the side added a sentence in a timely manner: "Since you are looking for someone to introduce, of course, the fewer people who know, the better." ”

"Well, we do have a bit of face on the side of the city lord of Reiner." Nodding slowly, chopping melons and vegetables to cover his expression with a raised wine glass: "What about the second thing?" ”

"We're looking for someone."

His expression became a little more serious, and Duan Qing's body also leaned a little as before: "This person's name is Mengzhu, you should also know her, she is the leader of the Fool Adventure Group who once saved this city......

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Raising his hand to interrupt the other party's words, chopping melons and chopping vegetables and twisting his eyebrows and looking back at Duan Qing: "Mengzhu? The leader of the Fool Adventure Troupe? Why is she in this place? ”

"I'm not in a position to explain the specifics."

Deliberately lowering his voice, Duan Qingshen said mysteriously: "In short, that little girl has probably been secretly escorted to this city now, and there is a big secret related to her, so we want to find her whereabouts now." ”

"We have a bit of an old relationship with that fool." pressed his eyebrows, chopped melons and vegetables, and soothed his frowning brows with such an action: "But...... Escort? We haven't heard anything like this lately. ”

"The other party may have used methods that no one else is aware of, and they have hands and eyes to the sky." Pointing to the top of his head, Duan Qing replied with a slightly cold face: "We are afraid that we will leak the news and lead the situation to a more unfavorable situation, so we don't dare to speak out at will, and we have only told you one person at present." ”

"Is it so dangerous? That's not true. ”

Shen Yin's voice gradually stopped, accompanied by chopping melons and vegetables gradually noticed the sight next to him, and the maid player named Secret Whisper Ning Lan then walked into the range of this dirty wine table in his substantive sight, and then slowly saluted with elegant movements: "Sir, people have settled down." ”

"Good work." Nodding his head, Duan Qing then raised his voice again as if he remembered something: "Ah, that's right." ”

"One more thing."

As if he hadn't noticed the anomaly on the other side of the wine table, the gray-robed magician looked at the staircase on the second floor of the tavern in the direction where Ning Lan had come, and then after frowning and thinking for a while, his voice slowly said his next sentence: "Let's just count this as our third request, because I really didn't expect this before."

"Is there a magic potion in Liberty City that can neutralize the effects of 'Dragon Slayer'? We have one wounded who needs a little treatment. ”
