"You have nothing to do here, go down."

Humid, cold, and dark air, accompanied by a huge herbal smell, filled this space. Except for a few suppressed coughs from time to time, the rest was sometimes light and sometimes heavy breathing, and unspeakable silence. Low

The ceiling seems to be right in front of you, and the narrow room structure determines that everyone living here can easily overlook the city of Tania in the dark night through the window next to the bed, but at this time, lying on the bed

The person here didn't seem to be in such a mood at all - after hearing this voice, he raised his head with difficulty, then covered his mouth with one hand while coughing painfully, and curled up into the bed quilt again.

“What a beautiful city.”

The other party's admiration came to his ears.

"It's a pity...it's about to end."

The night wind becomes stronger and stronger as the moon rises. With the arrival of autumn, the shadows of the trees illuminated by the moonlight begin to shake more violently, and then become more and more sparse, but the trees living here

Most people will not focus on these natural changes, but are more likely to notice the changes in the city - looking south from here, the lights in the city are bright or dark, flickering in everyone's eyes.

In front of his eyes, the bustling crowd seemed to be within reach, and they seemed to be in another world. They were following their own rules and moving towards their own pursuits in the intertwining process. The city under the night seemed to follow them.

Flow and flow, all kinds of lights spread into the distance as their respective destinies move forward, and finally stop at the edge of the city, beside the city wall of Tania, forming a perfect circle from the originally irregular lights.

of circle.

And now, the center of this circle has gradually extinguished over time, and this momentum has extended to other parts of the city.

"I know...you still haven't given up on your destiny."

He withdrew his gaze from a darkened library in the north of the center of the circle. The man standing at the door lowered his head and smiled, and then continued: "But... I still have to ask you once."

"do you want?"

The man on the bed didn't make any movement, he just lay there quietly.

"I have to ask this question every time I come here, but every time... I get the same answer." Faced with such silence, the black figure at the door laughed lowly: "Waiting for a turn of events? Or maybe

…Waiting for change? Waiting for others to discover something?”

"it's useless."

The man on the bed coughed violently twice more, then closed his eyes again and lay back quietly.

"I didn't plan to come here today." Seeing the other party's still silent protest, the man shook his head and turned around, as if he was planning to leave this place: "Out of respect, I'm here to tell you...

Some external things."

"Pamir...your favorite student almost died in our hands."

The person lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

"Humph, hehehe... What a pity." The man looked back at the bed by the window, and laughed maliciously: "I have been waiting for so long, but I have waited for such news... Isn't it very desperate?

?I can tell you very clearly..."

"This is just the beginning."

The footsteps gradually faded away as the man left, but his words still echoed in every corner of the house: "Just wait... for the news of the destruction of this city."

"Good night, I had a bad dream."

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

"Has the news gotten through?"

"..."

"Hey, forget it, this is a gift that comes to your door. If it flies, it will fly. Remember, the next thing is the most important..."

"..."

"If we all do our own things well, we will never fail! Okay, let's break up. There will be a game to play later, and we have to prepare a little bit..."

In a military camp on the outskirts of the empire's border, a man wearing a newly acquired armor waved away the others around him, and then stood there and thought for a while: "It didn't work... forget it, it's just two more days to live."

That’s all.”

"As long as there are no flaws in the plan here..."

Sighing somewhat uneasily, the man temporarily put aside these trivial matters, and then picked up another burden in his heart, and looked towards a forest in the suburbs. Amid the roaring sound, a man in black and white armor

The woman was standing in the center of the trees with her sword in hand, waving it rapidly at the air in front of her: "Drink!"

The sound of breaking through the air echoed in the woods, as if the leaves fell to the ground from time to time due to the shadow of the sword she waved, flying around with the shouts from time to time, and then scattered around her in the turbulence, gradually forming

It formed an irregular circle. The light shining from the direction of the military camp reduced the people and things here into a black shadow. In the interlacing of light and darkness, a huge leaf that had not completely lost its vitality fell in front of the woman.

, and then the long sword was suddenly withdrawn by her wrist and cut into two identical halves.

"ha!"

The scattered air currents whizzed around the woods with her as the center, turning the fallen leaves into a heavy rain, and at the same time, the light and shadow around her became more blurred. The movements that gradually became fixed fixed the long sword in her hand.

At the place where the sword was scratched at the last moment, she looked at the tip of the sword and stood quietly for a while, then put away the weapon, sat down on the ground, held the sword and thought.

"Stop practicing and take a rest."

The sound of footsteps trampled the fallen leaves, and gradually approached from the direction of the military camp. The man holding a long sword walked into the woods, and then stopped beside her: "I just suffered such a serious injury yesterday..."

"I'm fine."

The woman interrupted the other party's words, and after a while she slowly responded: "Thank you for your concern."

"Don't be so outspoken. We are in the same company after all." The man was inexplicably happy after hearing this: "We are a family after all, and it is normal to care about you."

"..."

The woman sitting on the ground with her knees bent did not reply, but stayed there quietly. Her long hair was draped and her eyes were closed tightly, like a statue of a goddess who had fallen into a deep sleep. Naturally, the man in the darkness did not pay attention.

Seeing her change, I just thought it was due to the other party's attitude: "When I first came to the company, I received a lot of care from you. Later, I conquered the world in the same guild, and I can be regarded as a companion who fought together.

So asking about your physical condition has almost become a habit of mine... Hahahaha, I seem to talk a lot today, don't mind it, don't mind it..."

Feeling that the other party seemed to have no intention of responding, the man quieted down slightly awkwardly. He looked at the other party's back, twisted the fingers of his hands in the air for a while, and finally tentatively walked to the front and sat down slowly beside her.

Next: "You... you have been practicing all day... did something happen to you?"

"..."

"Have you seen a bottleneck and want to find a breakthrough?"

"..."

"Is it..." The man hesitated for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Because of that person?"

"..."

The night wind blew up her long hair, but the woman who seemed to be in trance still didn't move much, just sitting there quietly.

"If you encounter any difficulties, you must always come out with me... We are not only your subordinates, but also your confidants. We also hope to face difficulties with you, and then overcome them to bring this guild together.

It’s getting better and better, just like those game worlds in the past..."

After all, there was no reaction from the other party. The man had no choice but to talk to himself and sat next to her. Time passed slowly in such an atmosphere until the man put them in front of him.

After recounting the history of our common struggle, he stopped his reminiscences with unfinished content: "...We have already stood very high and have experienced so many things. There is no need to fight with...characters for these things.

, it takes too much effort. With the strong strength and strong support you and I have now, with just a little effort, aren't these achievements... all within reach?"

"..."

The quiet woman remained silent, but where the man could not see, a self-deprecating smile appeared on her lips.

"I don't know how much you listened to what I just said, but... you'd better stop working so hard. I feel sad when I see it." Looking at the increasingly dark sky, the man slowly stood up and said, "I'm still here tonight.

There is a competition, and the team competition will start soon. I don’t want you to worry about these things... Forget it."

He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "I believe you."

He turned around, as if he wanted to leave this place, but it didn't take long before he turned back again: "By the way, I got a new weapon recently, and the original long sword is no longer used. Do you want to try it?"

one time?"

"..."

"Well, if you remain silent... I'll just assume you agree?"

There was a hint of joking in his voice. The man walked back slowly, then took off the long sword from his waist and put it next to her: "Don't worry, I won't use it anyway, just take it."

, we are all our own people, there is no need to worry about so much, right or not..."

As if he had transformed into a neighbor, the man chattered for a while, and then slowly walked back towards the military camp: "...remember to come early, there are not many games left, well, this meeting is at

Where did it come from..."

The footsteps gradually became distant, and finally disappeared into the woods with the blowing of the wind. The woman quietly opened her eyes, then looked at the long sword beside her, her pupils were focused for a while, and then

Then it slowly stabilized.

"After all..." She looked at the sword in her hand: "How should I release it?"

Her armored fingers hesitated on the long sword beside her for a while, and the woman finally picked up the long sword left by the man. She checked the properties of the sword, and then checked the properties of the sword she pulled out.

He shook his head in the cold light: "That's fine."

She raised her sword and looked around, then slashed out with the sword.
