Chapter 255: The show is about to start
"I've heard many times about the power of role-playing games, and I'd like to experience it when I have such a rare opportunity. Arastel explained, "So."
"Of course there is no problem, it is Arastel of course there is no problem!" Xana agreed without hesitation, it has always been Arastel who is helping herself, and now that Arastel has made a request for the first time, how can she not agree.
"What about me? Is this what I came up with!" Fang Qiubai saw that these two people had the urge to immediately start discussing the "development of the plot", and asked dissatisfiedly on the side.
"Just wait and see!" said Illya with a wave of her hand.
Fang Qiubai raised his hand and protested weakly: "Protest, I have a lot of good ideas!"
"Protest rejection, but we can refer to your proposal!" Xana and Illya looked at each other and laughed out loud.
"Xana" Fang Qiubai looked at Xia Na pitifully, and the latter turned his head to the side unmoved.
"Xiaoya" Fang Qiubai turned his face to Illya like a wronged child.
"Alright, alright, do you have any ideas to tell Xana, and we will help you perfect. Although Illya patted Fang Qiubai with concern, she didn't budge in her mouth.
"How so!" Fang Qiubai looked at the two who had formed an alliance and sighed helplessly.
Putting aside Fang Qiubai, who was depressed because he had many perfect ideas but had to let Illya and Xana call the shots, he didn't talk about it, but said that at this time, Aibo and the others at this time found a random place to settle down and start resting after a day of full speed ahead.
Although it was the first time to form a team, everyone had a tacit understanding of the work, and soon the fire was lit, the food was processed, and the dinner began comfortably.
"We did a great job today, and even though I was just the one who was chosen on an interim basis, I would like to say that I am very happy to be part of this team. Aibo took out the leather bag full of water that he had prepared before leaving, took a big sip, and said with a hearty smile.
"You're a great guy too! Although you're rougher than us orcs, you're surprisingly reliable!" Grom the orc grôme slapped Abbot beside him as he ate the unknown meat he was carrying.
"Hey, rude fellow, can you talk?" Grandy, the elf who was sitting around the fire and was opposite Grom, threw the freshly eaten fruit core at Grom's head.
In the muffled laughter of the team members, Aibo grinned helplessly: "I do look a little more individual, but this established fact should not be discussed, now let's discuss what to do in Qingshui Pass, right?"
Aibo's words made everyone smile and at the same time quieted down, and listened carefully.
"Although I have been to many places, I have never been to a border checkpoint like Qingshuiguan, and I don't know anything about the situation there. Abbot made no secret of his lack of intelligence.
"We elves don't have any information about this. Grant immediately raised a hand and replied.
"The elves don't know the way, so I don't know the way, anyway, you can arrange something!" Grom replied without raising his head, destroying his own food.
"Originally, I didn't expect you to know the way. Abbott couldn't help but tease the two of them, and said in the laughter of everyone: "In this way, everyone can express their opinions at one time, and it will be good to start with Paul." ”
Paul reflexively stood up, sat down again after reacting, and said with some crampedness: "I don't have any information about Qingshui Pass, and this is our first mission, I don't know what we can do and what we should do, but I think we must collect the information of the next city after we arrive at Qingshui Pass!"
With a "bang", a water bomb the size of a ping-pong ball exploded in Paul's face, and the mage next to him, Afra, withdrew his finger pointing to Paul's face and said with a smile: "Everyone knows this now, and you still need to say it." ”
Paul wiped the water from his face, but felt like he had washed his face, and felt a lot more energetic: "What am I saying here, or do you tell me?"
"Just say it!" Afra was a female mage with considerable knowledge of water magic, with a slender body and a face as clear as water, and she sat on the ground with her legs bent, showing her curves to the fullest. She stroked the hem of her mage robe, revealing her white calves, but she said confidently.
"I have a certain understanding of Shimizu Pass, but I have never been there in person, and the following information can only be used as a reference. Keeping herself relaxed, Afra spoke.
"Qingshui Pass is not as simple as a level, everyone must have heard of the three major checkpoints of our empire, Tiger Prison Pass, Qingshui Pass, and Bishui Pass. Because this is a very important strategic place, if there is no Qingshui Pass, the Mingda Empire can drive straight into the territory of the Xingyao Empire, but it is also an important place for foreign trade transactions between the two empires, so Qingshui Pass can be divided into two parts, on the side close to the Mingda Empire is a military fortress to resist the invasion of other countries, and on this side of the border, there is indeed a trade place, and the merchants of the Mingda Empire can enter the trade with our merchants after inspection. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Afra began to introduce the information of Qingshui Pass unhurriedly.
"I think that with regard to the military fortress part, we can completely ignore it and focus mainly on the commercial side. Although Afra's opinion was very reasonable, it also made everyone nod their heads in agreement.
"And this kind of border city, how to say it, is that the floating population is particularly large, so everything is easy to happen, and people with money, power and strength naturally have nothing to worry about, but there are quite a lot of ordinary local residents and some people who risk their lives to trade on the border, don't think that there are so many garrison cities that are quite safe, it can be said that as long as it does not endanger the checkpoint itself, those armies are too lazy to care, I think our goal should be put on the bottom residents first, and then consider others. Afra methodically conveyed her thoughts to the crowd.
"I have a question!" In order, the next member of the team spoke up, "How should we choose our targets?, I used to be a mercenary, and if I need to hunt monsters or something, I still have a little experience, but I hear you say that, what do we do if those people need money or something?"
"That's a good question!" Abbot suddenly said: "Actually, I've always had such a doubt, what to do to help others!"
"Like Terry just said, if the other party is short of gold, should we give them gold?" Abbot frowned in annoyance, his face looking even uglier.
Aibo's two sentences immediately aroused controversy among everyone, and someone immediately said: "I'm afraid it's not the way to give money!"
"But if an ordinary person who is poor and can't live can ask us for help, what can we do but give him money? Teach them martial arts or magic? Don't forget that we ourselves are not strong enough, so how can we teach them!"
"But if you give money, it will always run out, and we don't mention whether they can be saved, where do we get so much money?"
"Teach them that we don't have enough strength and time, and it's not a way to give money, so what else can we do?" Now even the orcs who don't use their brains feel that things are difficult.
"I still don't believe that so many of us can't think of a way, don't forget that other teams will definitely encounter the same problem, we can't lose to them!" Ai Bo was also anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show it, but instead opened his mouth to cheer everyone on.
"I think, although our empire is not the most powerful, but the people can live and work in peace and contentment, there shouldn't be the situation that you said is too poor to live, right?" Someone suddenly said this, and everyone looked at the same time, and the one who spoke was a member of the team who had been silent just now, and his whole body was covered with black night clothes, and only two eyes were exposed, dressed as a thief.
"What do you mean by Coker?" Abbott asked, confused.
"I mean, in this peaceful country, if you are willing to work hard, even if it is an ordinary job, you will not starve to death without gold, as you say!" explained the thief known as Coker.
"That makes sense, but we also have to be prepared for this special situation, we must solve it well, and we can't lose the face of the SOS group the first time!" Hearing what Cocker said, everyone felt that it was indeed very reasonable, but Abbot still reminded him.
Although he still couldn't think of a good way, he still had to hurry the next day, and after everyone had eaten and drunk, Abbot immediately prepared to rest so that he could continue the next day.
And Fang Qiubai was accompanying Illya and Xiana to go shopping, but at this time, the two girls didn't even care about the dazzling array of goods on the street when they were shopping, but kept recording all kinds of whimsical ideas in a book in order to arrange stories for the Haier brothers.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the sky got dark, the vendors on the street began to clean up, and seeing that the whole street began to close, Fang Qiubai came to a shop and asked curiously: "Boss, why are you closing so early?"
The shopkeeper kept moving in his hand, and took the goods on the shelves back into the room: "It's the first time you're here, this is not an ordinary place, in order to avoid accidents, there will be a curfew at night, you better hurry up and find a place to stay, otherwise you will be in trouble if you are met by the patrol team!"
After thanking his boss for kindly reminding him, Fang Qiubai sped up his pace, and took the two girls to find an unnamed hotel and open two rooms to live in, but what made him helpless was that this time he slept alone, Illya and Xiana didn't feel tired at all, huddled on the bed in the same room, and wrote the script with relish.
The next day, Fang Qiubai was too lazy to get up early, anyway, Illya and Xia Na didn't come to call him, he happily lay in bed once, and slept until noon before getting up.
"These two people, aren't they still discussing!" Fang Qiubai knocked on the door of the room where the two girls were staying, but they didn't get back.
It was very simple to directly cross the space and appear in the room, Fang Qiubai saw Illya and Xia Na sleeping together with each other, and the densely written notebook was thrown to the ground at random.
"This is too unguarded, isn't it!" Looking at the ambiguous and seductive sleeping appearance of the two, Fang Qiubai sighed.
"The two of them haven't rested since yesterday until two hours ago," Arastel sighed in a low voice.
"Isn't it just a role-play, as for working so hard, there will be opportunities in the future!" Fang Qiubai covered his head speechlessly.
"It's the first time for them, and the excitement is inevitable, and I think they have some good ideas. Arastel opened his mouth to refute, making Fang Qiubai stunned.
"Alright, Arastre, please take care of them, and I'll go out and get acquainted with the city. After carefully lowering his voice and asking Yalastel, Fang Qiubai smiled and looked at the two women who were sleeping, turned around and disappeared.
At this time, Aibo was less than 5 hours away from Qingshui Pass.
