The tense and solemn atmosphere paused for a moment with the appearance of these words, and then suddenly dispersed with the smile of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the faintly beautiful face hidden behind the gauze hat then slowly pulled the corners of his mouth, and the words he said were still full of sharp meaning: "It's really surprising - I have sent someone to treat the supreme leader of the enemy country?" ”

"Why, that mysterious archmage isn't a member of your empire?" Facing the other party's outstretched fingers in the air, Pamir's face was still full of smiles: "Isn't that magician with powerful life force a member of the first princess of the great Frey Empire?" ”

“…… Even if you were so polite to me, I wouldn't admit that it shouldn't exist. There was no change in expression due to Pamir's continued flattery, and Rena's gaze became much calmer: "Please don't deliberately impose these fame on us, we will not change the position of the empire because of your welcome." ”

"Oh? Is it? Raising his hand to stop the Yang fat man beside him from wanting to speak out angrily, the middle-aged man lying on the bed had a little more puzzled look on his original smiling face: "But according to our previous investigation, there doesn't seem to be such a person among the magicians and mage councils belonging to the principality." ”

"Even Wiggins himself has clarified the matter."

He pointed above his head, and as if he was reminding something, he looked out the window in a certain direction, and the shadow of the city in the sky was also hanging over Tania with a magical glow that would attract all players, and from time to time there were a large number of dark shadows of mages flying back and forth: "-I see. ”

"That's your biggest reliance, isn't it?"

Retracting his gaze, Her Royal Highness Princess Rena's voice also became low: "Since there is a mage council and that city sitting here, no one has a chance to stir up a dispute. ”

"Tania is badly damaged now, and we will not have the idea of initiating conflict under any circumstances." Pamir gestured around: "Even the current meeting is - we hope that we can put aside our hatred and settle this matter peacefully." ”

"Including the incident of His Royal Highness Prince Chris." He looked at Lux Young beside him, and his voice involuntarily eased a little: "How about we are willing to put aside our prejudices for a while and sit down and talk together?" ”

Her deep voice was very light, but it sounded full of uplifting power, and Her Royal Highness Princess Rena, who was in the center of this ward, nodded with a satisfied face, as if she had gotten the answer she wanted from the long wait: "After waiting outside the city for so long, you have finally made up your mind to talk with us?" ”

"To be precise, there is no unified voice within the principality." Pamir shook his head and replied, "Even now, I have just woken up, and I don't know much about the opinions of the other councilors, and the reason why I am in a hurry to invite Your Highness here is just to make a statement to you. ”

"I'm glad you were able to believe in my invitation." Speaking of this, he pointed in the direction of the window: "In the name of the Speaker of the Duchy, I promise that the investigation team of the Empire will receive the highest courtesy from our Principality in the coming time, and I myself will negotiate with you to resolve the conflict between the two countries after all internal problems have been resolved." ”

"When everything is settled?" Instead of continuing to follow the other party's rhythm, Rena seemed to find trouble in the other party's words: "Don't say anything like 'you need us to help you solve the problem of the principality', your problem is not something that our empire can easily meddle in." ”

After the-for-tat conversation, there was a moment of silence, and a bitter smile belonging to Pamir also sounded in Duan Qing's ears: "Your Highness is worthy of being the first princess of the empire, and her eyes are like a sapphire - that's right, relying on the rules of our principality and the resources at hand, I am afraid that we will not be able to eliminate the threats that may arise from within." ”

"If you can prove that these people who attacked you came from the same path as those who attacked our Imperial Investigation Team, we will do so without you reminding us." Rena's tone still did not relax a little: "As for what kind of position your councilors have, and what kind of culpability do they need to bear...... Are you sure you need our empire to take charge? ”

"In fact, we've released Vincent."

Without hesitation in saying this, Pamir made a helpless gesture at Rena, whose eyes changed: "From the standpoint of the principality, Vincent's actions are no problem, and most of the citizens of Tania are even very supportive of his radical actions against the Empire, hoping that this 'hero' who dares to stand up on the cusp of the storm can continue to lead them to victory." ”

"From the standpoint of the principality, such an idea is understandable, after all, not everyone can distinguish between right and wrong, and will only look at it from their own standpoint." Speaking of this, Pamir interrupted what Rena was about to retort in a relaxed tone: "As the Speaker of the Duchy, I can't deny such an idea, but-"

"Maybe we can use other, more 'special' ways to solve all of these problems."

He closed his mouth, and at the same time looked at the face of the eldest princess Rena opposite with blinking eyes, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the empire, who was standing in place with a graceful posture, then also frowned and was silent for a while, and then spoke again indifferently: "I...... I see. ”

"It looks like there's a lot more we need to talk about." She quietly looked at the middle-aged man who was lying on the hospital bed and kept smiling: "How about finding us a place first?" ”

"Originally, it was planned to be arranged in the 'Audience Hall' in the central city, which was a special place for us to receive foreign envoys." Pamir smiled and shook his head: "Because the central city is badly damaged, now you can only be arranged in the 'Nobilit' tavern on Taal Street." ”

"The best tavern in Tania's aristocratic quarter and one of the favourite taverns of Tania's aristocracy." Seeing Her Royal Highness Princess Rena looking back at her expression, Duan Qing touched her nose and replied in a low voice with a wry smile: "In terms of environment and service quality alone, it is indeed the most suitable place to entertain Your Highness." ”

"So be it for now."

Nodding her head, Rena unceremoniously turned around and walked in the direction she came: "Looking forward to a speedy recovery of the Speaker, we don't have much time." ”

"We'll send soldiers to guard around the Nobilite Tavern in case there are more misunderstandings." The voice belonging to Pamir then sounded from Rena's back: "There may be some chaos in the surrounding city recently, please be mentally prepared." ”

Without answering the other party's words, the figure of the woman dragging the gorgeous royal robe left the scope of the ward, and Pamir, who didn't care about the arrogant attitude of the eldest princess of the empire, then shook his head and laughed for a while, and then his eyes fell on Duan Qing and the others who were about to shake their heads and leave: "Ah, by the way, there are still you." ”

"Allow me to thank you for the actions that have put your trust in me and have persevered until now." He nodded at Duan Qing's back: "If there is a chance in the future-"

"I hope to make friends with you adventurers."

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

"Make a friend?"

Some time later, in the northwest of Tania, in front of a tavern located deep in the alleys of the Taal neighborhood, Her Royal Highness Princess Rena's figure also walked down from the front of the convoy that spanned half a city of the city, and at the same time looked back at the face of Duan Qing, who was waiting next to the convoy early: "Didn't you claim that you were very familiar with Pamir before?" How could he still say such a thing? ”

"Probably because he doesn't know me anymore, after all, people are big shots." Glancing at the countless imperial nobles and guards who were staring at him around him, Duan Qing smiled and said perfunctorily: "Including those people I knew when I came to this place, they don't seem to have a deep impression of me now." ”

"That's fine." After also looking at Duan Qing for a while, Rena finally retracted her skeptical gaze: "In short, the situation has become very complicated now, and we don't have much time to deal with more troubles. ”

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, we are the Empire's adventuring group." Duan Qing hurriedly lowered his head: "Since we have been invited to be a member of the investigation team and have experienced so many things, it is absolutely impossible for us to betray our position at this time." ”

"Good." Nodding her head, Rena then took the lead and walked in the direction of the tavern in front of her, "Then answer my next question." ”

"Is that the magician Pamir mentioned earlier who saved his life you?"

The pace of moving forward did not stop, and the slightest aura of shock rose from the body of Her Royal Highness the princess in front of him: "Assassinated? On one’s last legs? I remember you told me that. ”

"This, this, how do I know, hahahahaha." The footsteps slowed slightly for a moment, and the dry smile on Duan Qing's face became a little more obvious: "It stands to reason that his injuries can't heal so quickly, and it is impossible for him to have the energy to overcome all the obstacles to invite us——"

"The mysterious magician who has been with you all along."

Stopping in front of the tavern that was cleaning up the crowd and cleaning up, Rena interrupted Duan Qing again: "Why isn't that person in your team now?" ”

"You're talking about her." Duan Qing scratched the back of his head: "I heard that there are a lot of traces of the magic array left in Talan Village, and now they are cleaning up the mess, so they didn't rush over for the time being." ”

"Yes."

Lowering her head slightly, Princess Rena then waved her hand forward: "I hope you don't deliberately use this condition to treat Pamir and forcibly use it as a condition for threading the needle between us." ”

"No, nothing." Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hands: "I, we don't even know the reason why Pamir came to his senses, how can we do this hahahaha......"

"Your Highness, the cleanup has been completed." A deep voice then sounded in the ears of the two people, accompanied by the figure of an Imperial Royal Magician who stepped forward on his own: "Please follow me." ”

Without continuing to say too many words, the princess who glanced at Duan Qing then took the lead in walking towards the tavern gate in front of her, and the gap in the door that gradually pushed open also revealed a bit of magnificent magic lights, and gradually merged with the figures of the imperial nobles who followed Rena. Unconsciously excluded from this team, Duan Qing, who shook his head and sighed, then walked out of the street outside the tavern with a few teammates, he flew a piece of fruit skin that he had just dropped on his body by the civilians of the nearby principality, and then glanced at each other with Xue Lingxuan Bing and the others: "Okay, it seems that there is no need to go inside for the time being." ”

"We finally had some free time." He said to Gedmayne and Asahi at the same time, "If you don't have any other opinions, let's go to the Adventurers' Guild and log in first." ”

"What? Still going to the Principality's Adventurers' Guild? Asahi Dongsheng took the lead in launching his own opposition: "We are the adventure party of the Empire, why should we be controlled by the Principality Adventurers' Association?" ”

"The Adventurer's Guild knows no borders, and it's a neutral organization like the Mage Council." Duan Qing squinted at the other party: "Don't be led astray by what Amman did in Redkar, the adventurer associations in every place, their style of acting and the resources of the association are all linked to the local city." ”

"Since we're going to operate in Tania, we're going to need to use the Adventurers' Guild." The snow spirit phantom ice on the side also nodded his head: "And-"

"We still have a lot of our own issues waiting for us to prioritize."

Pointing to her feet, she looked around at the others present with a serious face: "For example, this time the battle damage is commuted, and the next action plan for the information we have obtained." ”

"Speaking of which, those underground guys haven't shown up until now." Rubbing his chin, the rising sun's expression began to become weird: "I don't believe that the flood can clean up all the hatred." ”

"Let's not talk about flying them freely, just listening to the group of people in the rain building is already a big problem." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also nodded in agreement: "And there are also Templar Knights, they ......"

"It's been two days, and both the recovery and the integration should be over." Walking on the way to the Adventurer's Association in his impression, Duan Qing then followed in a low voice and analyzed: "If there is any plan, it should be almost out at this time." ”

"How about we go and ask the people in the rivers and lakes?" He suggested to the others, "Such a large guild should have some knowledge of the actions of the people who listened to the rain building and the like, plus the battle at the south gate that night, they were also one of the participants-"

The shadowy scene then appeared in the front and back of the street, slowly extinguishing the conversation between several people, and Duan Qing, who had retracted his expression and movements, then also fell on his serious gaze in front of him, the encirclement that gradually surrounded him: "...... It seems that it is not necessary. ”

"People have already come to the door on their own."
