Wind Flower Town, Town Hall, Rama walked into his luxurious office as usual. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info old man in the past always adhered to his own principles and rushed here early every day to deal with daily official business, but for some reason, he came a little later than usual this morning.

The familiar wooden door, the surface of which had been wiped neatly and cleanly by the cleaning staff, even reflected like a mirror, the mayor's still neat aristocratic clothes, and the haggard face beneath the meticulously combed pale hair - in the last two days, in order to make up for his own tricks, he had been busy for two nights, but he still could not erase all the things he had done in the past, and according to the secret information, the messenger sent by the Pamir was about to arrive here, if the other party could see anything, The consequences are unimaginable.

He didn't want to test what it was like to be angry with the most powerful speaker of the principality in history.

After fighting with Yaschi for so many years, except for some necessary measures, his eyes have been completely set on the other party, because the other party knows himself very deeply, Yasqi can easily get a lot of evidence against him - although the two have never met each other for a long time, and he is not sure how much the other party knows, but with his own understanding of him, Yasqi must be able to do this, he is the kind of person who is born with organizational ability, look at him in an instant" companions" to know.

So when he found out that a force had invaded Windflower Town, it was too late to resist.

With his years of political experience, that force is definitely extremely unfavorable to the principality, and they have quietly lurked in all corners of Windflower Town, even in the Mage Council and the Warrior House, and then inadvertently showed him the power of each of their members, as well as the power of the forces behind them. Rama, who threw too many troops into the rebel group, was defeated in front of them after a few rounds, but as a person who was naturally good at adapting to the situation, Rama naturally knew what to do at this time, so after an "equal" exchange with the leader of the other party, the old man, who was used to being the king of the mountain, compromised under the intimidation of the other party.

Then, with the assistance of Rama, the other party took root in the rear of the principality. Rama himself could not predict the fate of the principality at that time, but he also knew the meaning behind this incident and the risks he took, so in order to consolidate his position in Fenghua Town for many years, and at the same time save his own life, Rama had to hide this dangerous bomb, while continuing to "exaggerate" the bandit forces outside Fenghua Town, secretly provide assistance to them to carry out some unknown missions. Until now, although he still maintains some basic connections with the bandit group to which the other party belongs, in the spirit of natural caution, all his contact with the other party is one-line, and no one except for his henchman should know what he has done.

And just the night before, that henchman had been buried alive by his own hands.

Except for the woman who has been living on the top of the mountain and has suddenly turned into a weaver of fate, the people who directly know the evidence of their crimes should all be dead, and the old man thinks that he doesn't dare to do anything to the librarian who has always claimed to be the librarian of Fenghua Town, but he is also confident that the other party will not interfere too much in worldly affairs, so after his careful thinking, he tried his best to clean up all the secret forces that may be linked to him, and arrange his family members properly, In this way, even in the worst-case scenario, that huge force discovers its abnormality and wants to kill itself, at least it can die under a decent sunshine and leave a good reputation.

However, the Mage Council's side is still unstable.

I hope that the people who are in the mage council can withstand each other...... The old man shook his head a little tiredly, and then looked at his hands - for the sake of secrecy, the things in the past two days were almost all done by himself, and he didn't know how much blood was stained on his old hands, but anyway, in the early years, in order to be on the throne, these hands had been stained with countless blood, and now it is nothing to soak in another layer, but every time I do these things, when I look back and think about it, there will always be a little uneasiness in my heart, and a trace of ...... Confusion.

So many things have been done, what is it for?

The old man shook his head, put these senseless feelings behind, and then pushed open the door in front of him with his thin old hands, and at the same time put on the steady face inherent in his daily life, this unique face belonging to a politician was formed under his years of exercise, in addition to being able to hide his true feelings, more or less to his own inner turmoil, also has some soothing effect.

But in the next moment, this self-consolation was no longer of the slightest use.

In the still luxurious mayor's room, the old wooden shelves and delicate potted plants filled with extravagant objects are still neatly placed on the left and right of the desk, and the soft morning light shines through the outside of the large floor-to-ceiling window opposite the door, bringing a touch of warmth to the gorgeous interior, but looking at the tall figure sitting behind the desk, Rama did not feel the slightest warmth - if he remembers correctly, the doors and windows should have been sealed when he left last night.

"Jin ......" he swallowed dryly, and his face became a little distorted: "How did you get in?" ”

The tall man in a gorgeous golden robe did not answer, and his expression was hidden in his slightly lowered face because of his solemn sitting posture. Hearing the sound from the door, the tall mage who was sitting in the position of the former mayor did not make any movement, and still sat there motionless, until the old man who saw him trembled with his hands and feet and wanted to quietly retreat outside the door, the solemn man finally raised his head.

Under those thick eyebrows, there was a golden light flooding in the eyes.

"You...... What are you doing! The calm kung fu that had been exercised for many years seemed to be useless in front of the tall man's might, and the old man's voice fluctuated up and down because of the violent trembling: "Could it be you, are you ......?"

The man still didn't answer, just stared at him with his golden eyes.

"No, you can't do that!" Finally remembering the rumored way of doing one of the members of the seven-member council, the old man in extreme fear shouted: "I am innocent! You have no proof to do that! You don't have power...... By the way, you don't have power! ”

"I'm the mayor of Windflower! An official official of the Principality of Elnefia! Even if I'm guilty, I deserve to be tried in court! Instead of...... Your judgment! ”

The tall man slowly stood up from behind the table.

"The Mage Council is a neutral organization! You cannot meddle in the lives of citizens at will, let alone in the affairs of the state! The old man's voice became a little hoarse: "You can't just ...... it"

His voice stopped.

The townspeople of Fenghua Town saw a surprising scene in the early morning of this day: on the second floor of the town hall in the center of Huawu Street, a golden light like the sun burst out from it, and the golden light was like a substance, dyeing the surrounding buildings, the swirling mountain road, and the petals in the sky into a golden color, which lasted for a while before dissipating. Although the time was short, the sun-like light was unusually bright, and it spread all over Huawu Street, spread all over Fenghua Town, and even traveled a long distance, until at the foot of the Little Anchidal Mountains, next to the mines of Blue Mountain Village, you can see the shining golden light like a morning star.

Soon after, news spread from the town hall of Windflower Town, and this news spread throughout the inner and outer periphery of Windflower Town, and also along the official channels, through a long distance, all the way to the capital of the principality.

Windflower Mayor Laska? Mashat, who was turned into a golden statue in his office, died at the age of 73.

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

"Anyway, thank you in advance, uncle, but I'm still curious...... How do you know? ”

"Don't worry so much about children, just keep walking."

On the mountain road north of Fenghua Town, the previous carriage had already left, and Duan Qing and Mengzhu sat in the shadow of the woods on the side of the road, talking to the uncle who was carrying a big sword and looked very different from his usual temperament. In the previous confrontation with the city guards, Patch hurriedly retreated because of the other party's power and the hidden meaning in his words, as if in his heart, this sloppy uncle could really stop them all, and he also felt that most of the other party's words were also true.

"We'll take care of the rest." The uncle picked up another weed from the ground, rubbed it twice with his calloused hands, and then took it into his mouth: "Believe me, absolutely...... There will be no after-effects. ”

"You mean to say...... We don't have to run away? ”

"Hey! Wake up, you're not on the run in the first place. The uncle patted Duan Qing on the shoulder: "It's just that the current situation is uncertain, so let you ...... for the time being." Well, I'll admit, it's really unfair to you guys. ”

"I'm not done with this town yet." The little girl on the side shouted at the right time: "And I haven't said goodbye to Aunt Xela yet......"

"Hmm...... In that case, then I'll speak for you. Richard scratched his bird's nest head with some embarrassment, and then took something out of his bosom with some embarrassment: "And this, for you." ”

"What is this?" The little girl took it with some suspicion.

"The founding of the party." The uncle said sullenly.

"What?" Mengzhu was shocked: "Our adventure group is not going to ...... because of lack of personnel Hey? ”

The little girl jumped up: "What does this mean?" Our adventure party hasn't been formed yet? ”

"yes." The uncle added: "According to the regulations of the Adventurers' Association, the people who set up the adventure group...... All need this thing from us as a proof ......of their adventurous work."

"Wait a minute!" The little girl pointed to each other excitedly: "You...... You mean that the Fool Adventures didn't exist before? We were all working day jobs for the past few days? ”

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, it's not for you now, and with this...... You see, here, see not? This is my charter signature, and with this recommendation, unless you take the initiative to revoke it, this adventure party will not be easily disbanded, even if there are not enough personnel. How's that, isn't it a nice privilege......"

"You're big! Why lie to us? ”

The uncle laughed dryly for a while, and then scratched his head again: "Because of the rules." ”

"When you were about to be established, I promised to release water to you, but I could only release water within my authority, and I couldn't do anything like canceling the test mission when the adventure party was established. However, the adventure group established in Windflower Town has always been zero, so ...... Anyway, when you do a good job in the future, I can secretly make it back for you, like ...... now."

"Wow! It turns out that you have been in arrears of our wages, not counting, but also in arrears of our founding time...... "Twitter."

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong, you see I'm your guarantor......" The uncle pushed his hands: "And ......"

"Everything you've done in Windflower Town is enough to pass a test mission." The uncle said solemnly.

"Such a difficult test task, I really ...... Forget it, I don't want to swear. Duan Qing waved his hand, and then smiled again: "But...... It feels good. ”

After another noise of birdsong, the next passing carriage passed them. Richard explained to the driver, and then let the two of them board the car, fortunately there were not many passengers now, and there were still empty seats on the bus, otherwise the two would probably have to stand to go to the next stop.

"Oh, yes, forgot about that." Before separation, the uncle patted his head again and stuffed something to Duan Qing: "This is given to you by Norman." ”

"What is this?"

"I don't know, he said it was a gift for you." Richard shook his head, then whispered thoughtfully, "By the way, should I reward you with something too......

"Yes, yes!" Duan Qing immediately nodded like pounding garlic.

"I don't have anything good to carry with me, otherwise ......" The sloppy uncle looked himself up and down, "Give you my 'Star Breaker'?" ”

He patted his back, and Duan Qing's eyes straightened.

"Aha, just kidding, knowing that you're not the type to use this weapon, and ...... Anyway, trust me, this sword is not for you. So be it......"

As he spoke, he untied a rope around his waist: "This is the saber that followed me for a long time in the early years, and I probably don't need it now, so ...... I'll give it to you. ”

"Just think of it as ...... Thank you for all you have done for Windflower. ”

He turned, then waved his hand, and walked away from the direction of the town along the road he had come, and slowly disappeared from Duan Qing's sight.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Mengzhu, who had already gotten into the carriage, poked his head out, and was then pressed back by Duan Qing: "It's okay, let's go." ”

"......Shh We can accept commissions again as an adventure party! ”

"yes, but just the two of us ...... for now."

"Re-recruiting! This time we must recruit a few more powerful and reliable ones, huh...... How about the standard of Uncle Smiling? ”

"In your heart, Uncle Smile is a strong person, huh?"

"Of course, more than you...... Well, it's about being strong anyway. She waved her fist: "Then whoever doesn't like it will be flattened......"

"Okay, it's all up to you, but remember to settle the accounts and then cut out my salary......"

Amid the sound of the creaking carriage, Duan Qing and Mengzhu talked and laughed, and gradually moved away from that beautiful and sad place. At one point he looked back at the town whose outline was gradually becoming obscure, but what sounded in his head was the rare voice of the little girl named Nina before he descended the mountain.

"Brother Qingshan, will you come back?"

"Absolutely."

"Then I...... Can I still see you? ”

"Of course...... Uh, what do you want to see me so far? ”

"I want to ...... Listen to your story. ”

As the carriage swayed, he squinted his eyes at the petals flying in the air.

"Ha, ahahaha, I'm not the kind of uncle who tells stories to children all day......"

"Adventurer...... Aren't they all people with stories? ”

"Where did you hear that...... Well, I'll tell you. ”

"I'll tell you when I get back...... My own story, the story of adventure, okay? ”

He yawned, then turned around and retracted back into the carriage.

I will be back...... Well, probably.

Above their carriage, a golden light lit up from the mountains in the distance, and then shot into the distant sky in an instant in the direction they were heading.
