"No, no, resolutely."

A large crowd gradually gathered near the hall of the Adventurer's Guild, and it seemed that they were all players who came to observe the situation because of the recruitment notice posted in the hall of the Guild this time, but Duan Qing, who witnessed the process, showed a completely different attitude at this time: "Don't you think we didn't have enough fishy smell in that place, I'm afraid I'm going to be killed if I go back?"

"Maybe we'll have a chance to prove ourselves, if we can have a good fight with the Restorationists and prove our innocence with their corpses."

"I know you have an indomitable heart for revenge, but looking at it, there are few people in the entire empire who dare to trust us, what if we rush out at this time and finally get revenge on us by the nobles of the empire?"

"It is impossible for all the nobles of the empire to be enemies of us, there will always be one or two people who support us, as long as we can find a suitable candidate within the three-day deadline and get their support and guarantee."

"Hush."

Looking at the few strands of decisive light that flashed in Xue Ling's Phantom Ice eyes, Duan Qing sighed heavily: "I knew that I should have left you at the castle in the first place. ”

"If you want to solve the current complex situation, you have to be a quick knife, don't you?"

With a slight sigh, Xue Ling's face gradually changed to a serious look: "Returning to the castle can just provide us with a little room to turn around in the empire, and at the same time solve our financial problems, no matter how you think about it, it is a plan to kill two birds with one stone." ”

"Girl, you have improved, and you have learned the essence of the three words of reasoning so quickly."

Pouting and shaking his head, Duan Qing's gaze then fell on the white-haired woman: "It's a pity that no matter how reasonable we are, we can't leave this place now." ”

"Why"

"Because there are so many people eyeing us."

Pointing slightly to the top of his head, Duan Qing's gaze swept over the heads of the group of adventurers in front of him: "The emperor, the military, the major forces of the nobility, and those demons and monsters who inexplicably haunt the imperial capital, don't look at the two of us are still free now, once we really take a wrong step, I am afraid that even we can't imagine the consequences of being implicated." ”

"For example, the Amman just now, he probably didn't have any good intentions." His gaze drifted, and slowly fell on the wooden railing on the second floor where the two of them had just come down: "We were given such an idea, but in the end we didn't say a word about discovering Violet."

"He discovered Violet's existence"

Raising her eyebrows in surprise, Xue Lingphantom Ice subconsciously glanced back at the woman who was still using the magic potion to hide her figure and was standing in place at this time: "How is he wrong, how do you know?"

"The guy deliberately circled around as he walked out of the room, as if he was avoiding something." Turning back and pointing to the area on the second floor where the two had just left, Duan Qing sketched out the scene of the room they had been in before: "In the absence of obvious instructions, Violet usually stays where we have walked before, so at that time, she should have stayed at the door in an invisible way, just in front of the president of the association who wanted to leave."

"Originally, if there were no accidents, we would be the first to leave here, and this sense of disobedience is meaningless to us." Speaking of this, a gleam flashed in his eyes: "But he deliberately avoided a person's space." ”

"In other words, the president has always been aware of Violet's existence, but he has never mentioned it" Xue Ling's eyes also became strange: "What does he want to do?"

"It's impossible to draw conclusions just yet, after all, that's President Hannah's father."

The crowding of countless players caused by each other constantly sounded in front of the two of them, accompanied by a deep sigh belonging to Duan Qing: "But since he avoids talking about things that he already knows, he must be planning to expose it at some opportune time." ”

"There must be some conspiracy behind this that we can't know." Countless scenes that he had experienced before flashed in his mind, and Duan Qing glanced back at Violet's face: "Maybe the incident at the castle of Thebilisi was just an accident, and their plans shouldn't have changed in the slightest because of the appearance of these similar accidents." ”

"Are you referring to this recruitment notice posted in front of us" There was a slight silence for a while, and then Snow Ling's eyes fell on the crowd of players who were gradually becoming crowded in front of the two of them: "The expedition to the castle of Tibilisi is not within the scope of this conspiracy, and we should not choose to leave at this time"

"Yes, those conspiracies must change more violently with these accidents." Duan Qing's eyes gradually became deeper: "The heavy chains have been spread throughout the city long before we arrived at the imperial capital, and now we will only reach the critical point of breaking because of the increase of these factors, before we find a suitable breakthrough"

"It's better for us not to act rashly."

Silence diffused around the two of them as the noise approached, accompanied by the white-haired woman who gradually fell into a thoughtful downward movement, and she sat still in place with her eyes closed for a long time, until a player began to lead the recruitment order to leave, and then opened her eyes again: "Royal." ”

"Hmm"

"If there is really such a big move, it can only be done by people from the royal family."

His eyes became brighter and brighter, and Xue Lingphantom Ice suddenly grabbed one of Duan Qing's arms: "Simon and Amman have both mentioned the battle between the royal families, and they should be the masterminds behind this secret contest, no matter what they want to do with our existence, in the end, it must be to fight for the inheritance of Dreynell, the supreme throne." ”

"If you want to find out the ins and outs of what is entangled in us, you can probably only start with them." Her voice became more and more fluent, as if she thought of a lot of logical possibilities: "At present, we have only contacted Chris one royal person, and there are many people we have not come into contact with, if these power struggles are really related to them, we can always find a suitable ally for us."

"That is, you have to choose a team," Duan Qing sighed with a sigh: "Let's not talk about how big the risk is after standing in line, as far as our current prestige relationship is concerned, I'm afraid there are not many people who will take a fancy to us." ”

"Even a guy like Amman can't see his true purpose and position through his series of actions in the end." Xue Ling's brows were tightly bound together: "If we want to figure out the relationship between this in a territory like the imperial capital, we can only contact it ourselves. ”

"Well, at least that's a direction to work towards." Putting down the risky orders that he had screened out before, Duan Qing stretched his waist and slowly stood up: "Although I don't know what the success rate is, it's much better than following the nose they pulled out." ”

"How much do you know about those royal families" His gaze stayed on Xue Ling's head, and his expression became a little embarrassed: "Where should we start first?"

"Dreynier has five sons under his knees, and there should be only three adults now." Xue Lingphantom Ice shook her head with a funny face: "In addition to His Royal Highness Prince Chris, there are also Princess Rena and His Royal Highness Rivers Jr., who has just passed the age of eighteen, considering the level of threat and the communication difficulties that may be faced, I think it is better to find the related people on the eldest princess's side first." ”

"In the previous rumors, this princess seems to have never found another suitable partner for her, so before His Royal Highness Prince Chris's departure from the imperial city, many ministers attached to him also unanimously wanted to decide a good candidate for her"

"You don't want to choose a pony, although it is not uncommon for players to marry NPCs in the virtual world, but it is difficult to climb to the sky in this way."

"I didn't say that, I've just heard rumors like this, and if I did, you little women would probably castrate me before letting me in."

With these meaningless words on their lips, the two of them walked out of the scope of the Adventurers Association against the crowd, but before the figure of the white-haired woman in them pointed out the direction in which they were about to move next, their steps were stumped by Duan Qing's sudden stagnant movements: ""

"What's the matter" swallowed back the words of contempt that he wanted to say just now, and the Xue Lingphantom Ice who reacted looked at the gray-robed magician's face with a strange expression: "I really want to try it"

"What is the number today?"

Gritting his teeth slightly, Duan Qing's turned gaze was filled with a bit of inexplicable panic: "I'm talking about real time." ”

"Real time" Xue Lingphantom Bing was slightly stunned: "February 2nd, what's wrong"

"I suddenly remembered something."

A few drops of cold sweat gradually oozed from his face, and the corners of Duan Qing's mouth then tugged up and down with that somewhat embarrassed look: "You, you can find a place to rest by yourself first, I have to deal with these things first." ”

"It shouldn't take long." Without waiting for the other party's answer, he turned around and ran towards the rest area of the Adventurers' Guild: "I'll be back right away." ”

"Hey, hey"

After calling two shouts to no avail, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was standing at the door of the association, watched the gray-robed magician disappear into the depths of the crowd where countless players were swarming in the hall of the association, and then she also retracted the countless doubts that had arisen in her mind, and turned to look in the direction of the purple-haired woman who was also standing in place: "What about Violet, you didn't say what to do with her?"

"Anyway, let's go get some rest."

After staring at each other for a long time with the invisible silhouette that did not have any expression, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who combed his hair, finally hid his helpless expression in the action of bowing his head: "Probably because of internal urgency, it's okay to wait a little, anyway, it's only my words, and there is nothing else to go to uh, can you understand what I said?"

"Will you listen to me?"

A trace of uneasiness flashed in her heart, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who took the lead in entering the gate of the association, looked at the figure of the purple-haired woman who was still standing motionless, until Violet, who was also looking back at her, moved two steps towards her position a little slowly, and the female swordsman breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "That's right, that's what it means, we just need to find a place where no one is there and wait for a while, and then oops, how long can the refractive potion on your body last I still have a bottle here, Hey, where did I put it?"

A slender arm with a silhouette slowly moved in front of the female swordsman, interrupting her awkwardly looking for the alchemy potion, and she just wanted to express her apologies to the great magician when she raised her head helplessly, but the raised voice was covered by the other party's fingers pointing to the side of the hall of the association: "What's the matter, what do you want to do?"

"They are"

Following the direction indicated by Violet, Snow Ling's eyes gradually stopped on some figures who were faintly shuttling among the crowds of players, and she closed her mouth and quietly observed the backs of these who were also players for a while, and the light in her eyes began to become colder and colder: "They seem to be looking for someone." ”

"I guess it's coming for us."

Her gaze quietly circled around her, and she unexpectedly found a few pairs of eyes that were also paying attention to this side: "I hope they didn't find any trace of Duan Qing." ”

"This young lady."

A kind smile then blocked her wary gaze, and a player in armor bowed to the corner of the guild hall: "Sorry to disturb your rest, but what is going on here?"

"I heard that the empire intends to recruit adventurers to participate in the rescue of the Citadel of Thebilisi as a living force." Xue Lingphantom Ice replied nonchalantly, "We just inquired from there, and now we've come out." ”

"If you want to participate, you can go in and ask for yourself."

The raised voice moved rapidly from right to left, and the figure belonging to the white-haired female swordsman then disappeared in front of the gate of the association without looking back, and the armored warrior who nodded with a smile did not continue to go deep into the interior of the crowd as Xue Lingbing proposed, but turned back to look in the direction where she disappeared: "The situation has changed. ”

"The target seems to be aware of us."
