"What am I relying on him to be arrogant about? Do you really think that you are the eldest or younger of which family, and you can walk sideways in the game? ”

"Mo Shang Qingshan, right? Wash my neck and wait! We will suffer a loss, and there has never been a time when we can't get it back......"

"The guy who can soak in the whispering of that female devil shouldn't be a good stubble, right? I think it's better to be careful and let the big guys settle accounts with them......"

"What are you afraid of, if he was really that kind, he should have jumped out eight hundred years ago! Don't talk about his name now, he didn't even report one from the guild he belonged to, and only relied on an NPC to be a backer......"

The sound of discussion like a vegetable market instantly began to echo in the middle of the hall of the underground auction hall, becoming louder and louder as someone left, but neither the NPC forces that stayed in place nor the major guilds sitting in the private rooms on either side did not seem to show the same sense of restlessness - several game characters who had a good relationship with the old man Gal began to approach him, taking the opportunity of greetings and business to gather information about the man, The members of the guilds that had lost their target also began to prepare for the departure, and at the same time laid out the follow-up tasks about the outcome of this time, their eyes constantly turning between each other's opponents, as if they were beginning to estimate every gain or loss of this auction, but no matter how their eyes turned, they would still gather on the top of the wooden boxes in the center of the hall from time to time with other spectators or players.

It was the last few auction items left by Duan Qing's cool and wide clothes, and at this time, it was like a treasure worth a million gold coins written on the same label, unconsciously attracting everyone's attention.

"Mo Shang Qingshan...... Right? ”

The three-life fish pond in the private room of the Borderlands pulled his face and said, "Such an arrogant guy...... How come you've never heard of it before? ”

"Either a big guy who never showed his identity, or a fool." A certain black-armored warrior named Chaos Shadowfang on the side pouted and replied, "But no matter what, this guy's EQ must be very low......"

"Even if that guy is just bluffing, he can be considered to have offended the team here."

In the private room of the Devil's Paradise on the other side, Mephisto, who had a stiff face, said lightly to the president next to him: "Even if he has a gossip to be a thug...... The combat power of the top teams of the three alliances is not something that an ordinary player can bear. ”

"I'm afraid we won't need to do it at all."

A shirtless man sitting in the middle replied with his head bowed, while gesturing to another private room next to them: "Judging by the previous reaction, those guys seem to have some old grudges with the second person in the world......

"Hah, the Angry Maniac is interesting to that chick...... Isn't this 'news' from a long time ago? Mephisto blew the hair that fell on his arm, and then pulled out a malicious smile: "Now there is a wealthy young master out of thin air...... No matter how you look at it, it's not a good plot development. ”

"Not necessarily." The naked man replied coldly, "If it's that woman......"

"The second and last position in the world, maybe there will be an unexpected result."

As if he didn't expect the other party to come to such a conclusion, Mephisto, who was playing with the transparent dagger he had just gotten, once again turned his scrutinizing gaze to the direction of his old rival, and one of the parties they mentioned was also trying to persuade his comrades in that room at this time: "Don't make trouble, okay?" We haven't even figured out what's going on......"

"If you really lose a million dollars for soaking horses, you won't have to skin us when you look back!"

"You don't need to look at it, the frog lady alone is enough......"

"So what exactly are you struggling with? Who taught us all day not to pay too much attention to equipment? ”

"It's not a matter of equipment at all! Does this still need to be explained by labor and management? ”

The angry madman, who hadn't spoken since returning to the room, stood up suddenly, his face full of irritated anger: "He, they...... The first time they encountered them, they felt that something was wrong! ”

"Don't you guess, okay? It's not clear what people are all about. Yun on the side muttered helplessly: "You don't know that woman's temperament, the performance just now doesn't match her image at all, and the plot in the middle hasn't been understood yet, so you first turned out the clothes of a tragic character and put yourself on ......"

"Yes, yes." The Immortal Star Soul with his waist crossed also nodded: "Maybe it's someone else's family matter at all, what's the use of us jumping around on the side...... Ah! ”

"X's just you can't speak!" The red-haired demon resurrection kicked the fat man away, and then coughed in front of the two-sword warrior: "That...... We've all seen that man before, he's not handsome, and his equipment is good, even if it's really like that, don't worry! You are so stylish, and there are so many brothers who support you, even if it is fair competition, we will not necessarily lose, right......"

“…… Go and gather our people. ”

Without a direct answer to the other party's words, the angry madman suddenly issued his own order: "Watch all respawn points in Liberty City." ”

"Hey, what are you going to do? Even if we can beat those bodyguards, we will have to do business in Oxen in the future......"

"I didn't say I was going to go in and arrest people, what are you excited about?"

Lightly brushing away a few pairs of hands that wanted to hold him again, the double-sword warrior walked to the window in a few steps: "I just think...... They shouldn't have to do anything with me, and they should be sent back to the city. ”

“…… Yes? ”

"And those things."

Thinking back to the legendary-level long sword that appeared at the last auction before, a glint flashed in the eyes of the angry madman: "If that man is really pretending, the Oxen Chamber of Commerce will naturally not let him go, but...... What will happen to the things he photographed in the end? ”

"Hmm......" Yun Zhibu, who had come to his senses, thought to his chin: "It's impossible to reshoot, the highest possibility is to recycle, but ...... If we discuss it, we may be able to get it at the price we just made......"

"Find someone to do this."

With a faint wave of his hand outside, the angry madman turned to look at the others a few times, then pushed open the door next to him, and walked out under the gaze of the other caring people: "Keep an eye on those things......"

"This matter is not over yet."

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

"This thing...... It's finally coming to an end. ”

Stepping over the threshold of a certain gate made of steel, Duan Qing walked into the core of the Chamber of Commerce in the deepest part of the underground with his whispering arms, and then looked at the face of a certain black shadow surrounded by several bodyguards, revealing a relieved smile: "It's just that I didn't expect ......."

"The thread that starts with our speculation...... In the end, it will be shown in front of you with such a straightforward result. ”

"Welcome, both."

The large luxurious desk was filled with all sorts of luxury utensils, and the finely carved metal and magic utensils were placed casually around the large room, and the dark figure sitting behind the wooden desk lowered his folded hands and showed his face leaning forward: "I am Oxen, the president of the Oakson Chamber of Commerce, the owner of the Oakson Auction House, and the ......."

"The Restoration's voice in the City of the Liberty."

"Are you going to be the third open force on the free continent?" Duan Qing pointed to the black-clothed bodyguards around him: "With those rebels in the principality?" ”

"First of all, we don't mean to make it public." Oxen smiled and took care of the black clothes on his body, and at the same time replied slowly, "Next...... The Principality's companions are not rebels. ”

"They were our people." His eyes condensed for a moment: "People of the Magic Empire." ”

“…… Okay, okay, I'm not going to fight with you about this. So Duan Qing pushed his hands: "Let's talk about something more meaningful, such as ...... Do you know us? ”

"Actually...... From the moment you came to this venue, we found you. ”

The man in black who called himself Oxen combed his hair with his hand: "But I'm very happy that you can come to our charity fundraiser, so I never wanted to kick you out of here, although I didn't expect such an unpleasant thing to happen later......"

"Disturbed your money-making plans...... I'm very sorry. Duan Qing showed a pleasant smile: "But...... It doesn't seem to be a very moral thing to put up for auction with something that has been smelted in a furnace, right? ”

"Oh? Looks like you've figured out how to use the furnace as well? Oxen raised his head, and his eyes also revealed a glint of interest: "Since you also know the value of that thing...... Then you should also know how great the goal we are pursuing, right? ”

"I don't know."

Restraining the smile on his face, Duan Qing replied expressionlessly: "There is no problem in this era, and I am also very satisfied with my profession as a warrior, so I will not be interested in any powerful and prosperous magic empire...... It is your wish to have any interest and want to change your life against the sky, and we will not have any intersection, but if you change the fate of others at will for the sake of your great cause......"

"It's not in line with our philosophy of life." He pointed in the direction where the principality was: "A lot of adventurers...... I won't be able to stand it. ”

"The successful will only praise the justice of the successful, and the loser will have nothing to say."

It was not the interested Oxen who sat behind the table who answered Duan Qing, but the man in black who suddenly pushed the door in at the back of the room and entered: "So for the words of you guys...... I've never had one evaluation. ”

"That's stupidity!"

The black thin sword flashed a black light in the air, quickly stabbing in front of Duan Qing, and then tilted to the side under the cover of another black light, nailing it to the steel wall behind him. The blue-haired woman on the side immediately flashed behind Duan Qing, and kicked the black-clothed bodyguard who wanted to rush up again on the side with a flying kick, but before more enemies rushed in front of Duan Qing and the two, Oxen, who had been sitting in the middle, spoke out to stop the battle: "Wait a minute, wait a minute......

"I'm not here to fight."

He stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly towards both sides of the desk, and at the same time, he pressed back a certain light that was about to flash in Duan Qing's eyes, along with the housekeeper man who was about to make a move: "If you want to do it...... I already gave the order to do it when I was outside, didn't I? ”

“……”

"And Lord Harvey...... Please don't be so impulsive. ”

Lightly stretched out his hand to the man in black who looked like a butler, and Oxen beckoned him back with a smile: "As for my own opinion, I believe I have made it very clear before this, since you are now a recuperating host, please respect my opinion a little, okay?" ”

"And what do you think ......?"

"I don't know if you've heard of it...... The three legends of the Free City? ”

As if answering the questions raised by Duan Qing and the butler man at the same time, Oxen asked in a deep voice, "This is a very famous legend that has been circulating here. ”

“…… I would like to hear about it. ”

"The first legend...... Or rather, the mystery is the bridge of miracles. ”

Looking at Duan Qing, who had calmed down, the man in black in the center crossed his arms and propped up to the table: "About its origin, its function, why it has stood in the sea for thousands of years without falling, and most importantly...... Where it leads is a mystery now. ”

“…… So you want to unlock the secret? ”

"No, no, no, this is just an introduction, a beginning." Oxon rested his chin on his folded hands: "Although countless adventurers throw themselves into that bottomless pit every day, this is not what I want to say......"

"The second legend...... That's the pirate's treasure. ”

He grinned, "There are so many versions of this legend that I can't remember it myself, but as you might expect, none of these rumors can be proven to be true. But I'm a very kind restorer, and I'm a businessman who can be easily deceived, so there's one thing I've always believed in anyway......"

"The treasure of pirates must exist." He smiled and said, "And maybe...... The fate of the city is at stake. ”

“…… So you want us to find this treasure? ”

“…… What I really wanted to unravel was the secret mentioned in the third legend. ”

Facing the gaze projected by Duan Qing and Su Yuliu, Oxen lowered his head deeply: "That's ...... The appearance of the lord of the city. ”

“…… Yes? ”

"Since the establishment of the Free City, no one knows what the true identity of the city lord is, only the existence that belongs to him, and the figure who secretly acts whenever there is an accident that destroys the freedom of the city."

Oxon's voice was slow and deep, as if he was telling the world's most secret story: "Even in the few accounts of the few records of ever meeting the city lord, they only wrote a lot about the process of the meeting, but never mentioned the identity of the city lord, and the ...... The appearance and clothing of the lord of the city. ”

"Isn't that a suspicious thing?"

“…… So? ”

"So I'd like to send out a commission."

In the quiet room, Oxen's eyes were fixed on Duan Qing's face: "I heard that you do everything for the reward, and you just happened to meet the city lord......"

"I wonder if you can fulfill this little commission for my little wish?"
