Chapter 1592 - 1588: Qiuya Leaves the Team

In the dawn, a majestic silhouette of the Wind Elf Consulate appeared. Qiuya and the consulate's owner, the female player Shuye, had known each other before, so she wanted to greet her immediately, saying she would be leaving for a while. But then she noticed there was no flag with the Wind Elf emblem on the building.

The flagpole stood in the center of the building, which was unusual but meant the Lord was absent for the entire day.

"What happened? What's going on exactly?"

Ye Qiu asked, while Qiuya shook her head, answering, "Nothing." After deciding, Qiuya received an email notification and returned to the main entrance of the Wind Tower.

The first floor of the tower was a huge circular hall surrounded by various shops. In the center were two magical elevators. Currently, many players were appearing or disappearing in the elevators. At dawn in the Alps, but it was already late. One could say traffic had just begun to increase.

Qiuya pulled Ye Qiu's arm, preparing to rush into the elevator just as it descended...

Suddenly, several team members appeared beside her, with two blocking the way. Qiuya spread her wings but stopped just before hitting them.

"Come on, it's too dangerous!"

After Qiuya's complaint, she looked up and found the tall man in front of her was someone she knew.

The other party had a group of chicks at the Wind Elf's height and a rugged yet quite masculine face. To see this appearance, you needed luck, or you'd have to spend a lot of money. The person wore slightly thick pure silver armor, with a slightly larger sword at his waist. A wide silver headband tied around his forehead, and his deep green wavy hair reaching shoulder-length.

This person was called Sigr, a member of the team that had been collaborating with Qiuye in recent weeks, responsible for the forward position in the team's work. Qiuya carefully looked and found the people standing on either side of him were also team members.

Ye Zhi thought Leilei might also be looking around, but Ye Qiu didn't spot his conspicuous yellow-green long hair.

For a long time, Sigr was a strong contender competing with Qiuya for the title of strongest swordsman. Unlike Qiuya, he was unwilling to be involved in mainstream factions and was also politically very active.

Today's "Wind Elf Lord"—players vote once a month to decide how to use taxes—is played by Shuye. But Sigeruo, known as the Sword Saint, is also famous, and could be described as a super active player.

Qiu Ya's technical value and the rare equipment he obtained in the game are unmatched, so in the match against Sigr, breaking through his tenacious defense and lasting battle became a more athletic Qiu Ya.

As a result, he could be said to be a quite reliable forward in hunting, but the downside was that his consistent actions always had some self-assumed thoughts, causing those who disliked restraint to often feel like running away.

Though money and experience value can be effectively earned in the current team, Qiuya has recently started thinking about quitting.

Now, standing in front of Qiuya, with feet apart and a unique angle of his closed mouth, he shows his most arrogant side, reminding Qiuya that it's truly troublesome.

"Hello, Sigr."

Though Shegulu smiled and greeted him, he didn't seem to be in the mood to respond, instead loudly responding:

"Qiuya, do you want to leave this team?"

Sigr looked quite unhappy. While Qiuya wanted to say, "Just going to the World Tree and coming back" to temper his anger, she suddenly felt it was too cumbersome. When she returned to the top, she found herself nodding.

"Mm... yes. I've saved quite a bit of money and want to take a break."

"Too irresponsible. Don't you think this affects other matters?"

"Wait a second, are you implying I'm fickle...?"

Now even Qiuya was a bit unhappy. After an intense battle in the last contest, Qiuya defeated Ziglu, and he proactively invited Qiuya to form a team. Qiuya later suggested that they only participate in team actions when they are free, retreat when they want, and she felt she had made that clear. She was unwilling to accept constraints.—

Sigr raised his thick eyebrows, continuing:

"As everyone knows, you are a member of my team. If you leave without reason and join other teams, my authority will disappear!"

"..."

Qiuya listened to his arrogant lines, only able to stand there speechless. Though speechless, she had a thought: "Is it really like that?"

After joining Sigeruo's team for a period, as Qiuya's friend Leilei suggested with an unusually serious attitude.

At that time, he said it was best not to get too familiar with the team. When asked why, he said Sigeruo might have invited her not because of Augustine's strength, but to increase the team's brand value—more realistically, he just wanted to win his own Augustine as his partner or as a reputation-maintaining minister.

Though Qiuya laughed and said it was impossible, Leilei strongly hoped she would believe him, saying the fairy's fantasy saw few female players in such a challenging game, so female players always tended to idolize rather than combat power.

Especially a cute girl like Qiuya was rarer than legendary weapons, so they would be taken, of course, a matter of showing off. Many people had bad intentions, but they absolutely didn't have that idea. They just wanted to maintain a pure and genuine relationship with her, and so on.

When he began babbling due to panic, Qiuya used all her strength to give him a liver attack, calming him down. Then Qiuya also pondered, though Leilei said, because she really didn't feel like an idol, if she thought too much, it would complicate the game more as this game needed remembering many things.

Therefore, she decided not to think too much, so until today, she still continued participating in team activities without any issues.—

Facing the angry and anxious Sigr standing in front of her, Qiuya felt her whole body wrapped in a heavy thread. In the fairy's fantasy, she just wanted to free herself from all restraints, fly away freely, leave everything behind, and feel the freedom to fly around was all she needed.

But was this just her ignorance and naivety? In this world of imagination where everyone has wings, should she forget the gravity of the real world? Was this truly just a fantasy?

Qiuya recalled bullying by the older students in the Sword Dao arena during elementary school ever since entering the game.
