1529 Night Audition
The atmosphere around the Nasu camp finally calmed down with the passage of time, and the temporary peace returned to the night around the settlement with the departure of everyone, and the wind from the grassland continued to sweep along the night sky far away from the settlement over time, driving the Nassu people who were still noisy back to their respective camps. The members of the Qingling Adventure Troupe, who had also cowered into the guild quarter, which had not yet been fully built, and then sat around the campfire that had just risen, and the strange atmosphere caused by some speculation during the day seemed to have continued with their gathering among themselves, contrasting the crackling sound above the campfire a little more obvious: "Don't you always be so silent, it always makes people feel some, some strange ......"
"Although you still haven't said a word, you've seen everything during the day."
Reaching out in the direction of Mengzhu, who was the first to twist his body and make a sound, Duan Qing, who had been keeping a straight face since returning to the camp, finally pulled out a smile: "Don't care about identity or anything like that at this time, right?" How, is there anything you would like to say? β
"Nope." Expressionless, Mengzhu pulled the hood he turned a little lower: "Whether it's about you wanting to participate in the duel or about you persuading that old merchant to quit, I don't have anything to say. β
"I'm not referring to the side branches, I'm referring to the conclusion that we're guessing about now." Blinking his eyes, Duan Qing continued as if he were still familiar: "The Nashi clan is in collusion with the Alliance of Destiny - if that's the case, what are you going to do?" β
"Will Rhona's revenge be avenged?"
The words caused a huge wave in my heart, and the aura of the little girl sitting in the corner of the campfire camp shrouded in shadows seemed to have changed a little, and the killing intent that was close at hand also disappeared into the invisible darkness along with the long golden hair. Rubbing his shoulders a little uneasily, the rising sun that was closest to Mengzhu then waved his arms and moved a few points farther away from the bonfire, and the original drowsy appearance was completely dispelled with the faint appearance of this murderous aura, and even the voice that spoke seemed to shrink a little: "Then, that- let's go back to the old question, how are you going to engage in this duel?" β
"Of course I did." Feeling the somewhat loose atmosphere around him, Duan Qing nodded and said, "Even if our opponent has nothing to do with the Alliance of Destiny, we are scheduled to win this battle, aren't we?" β
"So confident? I like it. Shaking his head, a meaningful smile appeared on Asahi Dongsheng's face: "But just like the old merchant once said - don't say it's yourself, even with our team, there are not many strengths and methods to defeat the enemy." β
"If you don't have the strength, you can outwit." Wiping the shield on his hand, Gedemayne on the side said his answer on behalf of Duan Qing: "And unlike the warriors of those tribes, our combat training and combat skills are unique. β
"Lu Fin has given us a lot of useful information."
Nodding his head, Duan Qing, whose fingers kept moving, then said in a low voice: "If the price is right, we can consider buying more information about the opponent from him-Ling Bing, do you need these things?" β
"If it was a normal fight, I wouldn't agree to do it." The action hesitated slightly for a moment, and Xue Ling's phantom ice's gaze also moved away from Duan Qing's body: "But since life and death are at stake, you just let it go." β
"According to the information left by the previous hundred steps, the Lufin Chamber of Commerce now lives in the southwest of the Nasu settlement." Pointing to the periphery of the earthen walls around the camp, Duan Qing's gaze then fell on Asahi Dongsheng: "This is your specialty, no problem, right?" β
"Of course there is no problem, after all, I am useless now." Pointing to his broken arm floating in the air, Asahi Dongsheng replied with a senseless expression: "If I can't even do this little thing, then I will really become a waste." β
"You can think about practicing exercises that only one-armed people can learn well." There was a half-joking chuckle, but the voice belonging to Gedmayne gradually sounded as the wind blew through the steppe: "But I have a question that I have not asked: the camp has been built, why don't you hurry up and commit suicide by jumping into the sea?" β
"I'm used to the one-armed life, and the Sioux people have come to know me now." Asahi replied nonchalantly, "If I appeared in front of them again with my arm restored, I would be regarded by them as a real monster." β
"It seems to make sense." Looking at the other party's face with his chin up, Gedmayne's face also showed an expression of surprise: "I didn't expect that you, who have always maintained the image of a reckless man, now have such delicate considerations?" β
"Don't try to prevaricate me with such words, I have never given up on participating in a duel." Twisting his eyebrows, Asahi Dongsheng, who stepped forward with one leg forward, stared at the other party and warned: "When the battle begins, you must leave me a piece of meat!" Lao Tzu's hands have been itching for the past two days! β
"We won't let you play until we see any hope that you can win." In the action of everyone shaking their heads in unison, the voice that still belonged to Duan Qing gradually rose along with his calm expression: "Isn't it even more contrary to your previous considerations to send a dead person up for no reason?" β
"If you want to continue to mix in this new world, you have to find a way to maintain this image yourself!" Laughing and slapping the other party's slightly depressed appearance, Gedmayne on the side then also said as if he had realized something: "I'm looking forward to the appearance of another one-armed hero!" Holding a bladeless heavy sword, all over the world to fight against opponents - what are you doing? Not convinced? If you're not convinced, you'll hit me? Let's compare? β
"Leave these two fools alone." Shaking his head and looking in the direction of the two players who were facing each other again like blowing their beards and glaring, Xue Lingphantom Ice put away his sigh a little speechlessly: "Think about the resources we have, even if we don't put the enemy's possible combat power level in the visual range, there are not many people we can fight." β
"You, Gedmayne, at most Mengzhu alone." Knowing what the other party was referring to at this time, Duan Qing, who nodded, said quietly: "If it's a heads-up battle mode, I can barely count half of it, and the rest-hmm." β
"I don't know if Fura has the will."
As he said this, his gaze fell on the far side of the camp where the campfire could not shine, and a blonde dragon woman who appeared there at some point gradually became clear with Duan Qing's words, as if she had just stood up from that direction: "What, what trouble did you cause today?" β
"Ahem, it's not a problem for us, but it may be different for the Nassu."
I don't know if the other party knows everything that happened in the Nasu clan in the recent period, Duan Qing finally briefly introduced what they had experienced in the clan before: "...... Anyway, we're going to go to that 'Barish' ceremony to get one last chance for the Nasu to survive. β
"'Barish'...... Hum. Let out an inexplicable sigh, Fura's body standing in place with a divine light in her eyes didn't seem to move half a point because of Duan Qing's words: "Compared to what I-I found in the north, the competition between these humans is nothing at all. β
"But considering my current identity-" She looked at the expressions of Duan Qing and Xue Ling Phantom Bing, and her original words involuntarily lengthened a little: "Since I am still a member of the Qingling Adventure Group, I will naturally not sit idly by and ignore what happened to you." β
"Well, it's better not to be rash." As if sensing a sense of danger from the other party's eager eyes, Duan Qing hurriedly grabbed the golden sleeve of the dragon woman: "If someone from the Destiny Alliance really intervenes, your arrival is probably in their calculations." β
"Yes, forcibly intervening might make the situation worse." Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side also hurriedly spoke out to comfort: "Plus your injuries haven't healed, if you really encounter any trouble......
"It's not an injury that can heal in a short period of time, so it's not necessary to care too much." Tearing Duan Qing's hand away, Fura with a displeased face then gradually brushed up the golden hair that was exposed on her sideburns: "But since you also said so, I will pay more attention." β
"I've found a lot of new clues to the ruins on the other side of the river to the north, and I'm currently following them up." She sorted out her emotions, and her expressionless face was brought to the front of Duan Qing and the two of them again: "Originally, I wanted to bring this news back to you, and we will set off to explore it together, but nowβlet's wait until all the troubles on you are solved." β
"I'll keep an eye on you."
She said the last sentence, and the action of turning around and brushing her clothes disappeared between the golden energy transmissions, and the magic fluctuations that kept jumping in the air also slowly diffused towards the depths of the dark night with Duan Qing's gaze and the wry smile on his face: "Sure enough, it's better not to expect her." β
"After all, it's a plug-in, and if it can be opened casually, the system of the free world should have been unbearable for a long time." Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side also sorted out her white hair: "But this proves one thing: the battle we are facing is really not good." β
"Don't say it's Furla, the methods of those people in the Destiny Alliance, even we have seen it many times." Lowering his head, Duan Qing also showed a thoughtful face: "Use almost the same method as the future to know all the possibilities, and use this as the basis for formulating countermeasures...... With enough resources, these guys can be almost invincible. β
"But there must be something they can't calculate." Subconsciously answering Duan Qing's words, the light in Xue Ling's Phantom Ice eyes became more and more vigorous: "For exampleββ"
"Player."
pointed out this most critical word, Duan Qing's gaze also reflected with the bonfire on the side: "The silk thread of fate has no laws to control the existence of players, and what players do must not be within the constraints of this system, and if you want to change the established fate, only players can do it." β
"Those Destiny Weavers always like to treat us differently, and that's probably why." Xue Lingphantom Ice echoed and said, "For example, the title of the child of destiny, maybe it's also because they found out that you easily changed many established fates?" β
"Don't mention the past, anyway, I've already paid the price." Taking a deep breath, Duan Qing also denied softly as if he had never done such a thing: "If you want to change the status quo in front of us, the price you need to pay may be more than we imagined, but considering the position we are in, this battle is probably only - what's wrong with you?" β
"Looks like there's news out there."
The feeling of uneasiness was quickly discovered by the man who was close at hand, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who had pulled up her hair, then smiled embarrassedly: "It may be more important news, so it disturbed my emergency reminder status bar." β
"Wait a little bit for me."
She looked around to confirm, and her apologetic eyes gradually turned into white light and disappeared in front of Duan Qing, and the real body of the woman was also revealed in the game cabin in an apartment room in the D area of Hualan City in the real world, and her hair, which had been longer because it had not been taken care of for a long time, was also dragged under the moonlight as she walked out of the game cabin: "...... It's you. β
"Looks like you've been immersed in the free world." I don't know when it was connected, and then another man's warm voice sounded on the other end of the communication: "Have you forgotten the agreement between us?" β
"That pact didn't kick in, so it's not time yet." Without moving towards the figure outside the window, the woman's voice replied coldly, "You better wait honestly." β
"It's surprising that such a big battle didn't force you to seek our help." The man on the other end of the conversation was silent for a moment, then let out an even deeper laugh: "But in any case, if you keep hanging us aside, we're in an awkward position, aren't we?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"Okay, so that we both have a staircase to go down, I'll give you a little more valuable information."
Faced with the silence of the woman in the room, the man on the other end of the communication chuckled under his breath again: "It's not just free. β
"And it's freshly baked."
