"That'...... What is it? ”

“…… It should be a furnace. ”

"Furnace? What's that...... Wait, I seem to have heard it somewhere. ”

"Of course you should have heard of it, but it should not be the one you know."

Answering these words in a low voice, Duan Qing's gaze finally moved away from the pillar of light that was constantly emerging upwards in the distance, and then with a mind that quickly calmed down, he looked around here: "The question now is, is this the one I know, although this is still Hulan Mountain, but if the spatial conditions are established, the whole mountain will become an empty mountain......

"It sounds serious." Babaojun on the side hurriedly poked Duan Qing's side ribs: "Hurry up and explain, is there anything you need our help with?" ”

"I know you're all curious, but not yet." Duan Qing, who still didn't stop observing, replied in a low voice: "First of all, we have to find a way to the past, and we must ensure our own safety......

"If there's something like the dragon lurking around here...... Then we are in a very bad situation. The Flame Legend's gaze at the pillar of light gradually stopped: "Plus the miasma here...... Our medicine is almost depleted. ”

"If only monsters appeared, it would be fine, after all, we can handle it." With the appearance of a sigh, Duan Qing's gaze finally stopped somewhere in front of the pitch-black abyss: "I'm afraid of ......"

"There's going to be someone we're looking for coming out of this place."

Following the direction his gaze pointed, the two people who were following behind, the Eight Treasure Monarch and the Flame Legend also looked at the top of the abyss in front of them, and a figure that was also pitch black with the surroundings was floating above the vast cave in front of them at this time, echoing with the background light pillar reflected next to them, the two big shield warriors who were alert hurriedly raised their swords and shields, and laid out a shield defense line along the edge of the abyss revealed in front of the rift, but Duan Qing, who was sandwiched between the two of them, was not prepared for battle at all, Instead, he cast an inquiring gaze on the figure: "You are ......"

"I'm Hywald."

The figure that was being watched by Duan Qing bowed slowly, and a gentle smile appeared on the face that was gradually revealed in the darkness: "We should ...... We've already met. ”

"That's right, inside the former Tower of Tyranny." Duan Qing, who looked up at the other party, also laughed: "Although I am in a different battlefield, I didn't expect you to remember me." ”

"You are the famous child of destiny." The middle-aged man who claimed to be Hywald slowly landed in the space parallel to Duan Qing and the three of them, and the pitch-black robe hanging in the air was still slowly drumming: "As the vice president of the Magic Council, every move you make ...... It's all on my radar and that of my colleagues. ”

"The Deputy Speaker is overrated."

Shaking his head slightly, Duan Qing, who still didn't show any hostility, slowly put his hands behind his back: "Compared to you who have already occupied the tower, my little adventurer is still far behind." ”

"It's just a small ploy, it's not a big deal." Haywald, who was also staring at Duan Qing, replied with a smile: "Although it is the proposal of some adventurers affiliated with us, it is ...... Hehe, if it really bothers you a little, it's our fault. ”

"The Mage Council didn't bother me too much, I guess it was also concerned about your existence and their situation." Duan Qing immediately shook his head: "Or...... They don't even have the idea of retaking that tower now? ”

"Marlock is still lurking in the upper echelons of that tower."

Saying this information without hesitation, Haywald spread his hands under the black robes slightly: "Our war with the Mage Council is still ongoing, but the initiative is now in our hands, before we take full control of the tower...... The Magic Empire probably won't be making any more radical moves. ”

“……”

"What, don't believe me?"

Looking at Duan Qing's reaction to being silent for a while, Hywald once again showed a gentle smile unique to a middle-aged man: "Do you want to come to our new home as a guest?" ”

“…… Not necessarily. Duan Qing shook his head: "In case there is no entry or exit...... Isn't that embarrassing? ”

"If you decide to officially join our Magic Empire, I will be the first to approve it with both hands." Haywald raised his hands in the air: "If the mediocre world can't make you happy...... The doors of the Magic Empire will always be open to you. ”

"Hehehehe." Duan Qing, who didn't know how to answer, had no choice but to touch his nose and chuckle a few times, then turned his head and pointed to the void above their heads: "That tower like a dungeon...... Is it really that appealing? ”

“…… It was the legacy of the Magic Empire, the crystallization of the magic left by the archmages a thousand years ago. ”

As if to mention something unpleasant, the smile on Haywald's face faded: "Those so-called councils of seven don't know how to use them at all, and they are even squandering their own precious treasures!" Only when these things are in our hands will their meaning and value be truly brought into play. This is true of the Tower of Tyranny, as are the magical relics in other parts of this world, like ......"

As if he suddenly realized something that was about to be exited but should not be exported, the middle-aged man's dancing movements in the air suddenly stopped, he looked at Duan Qing in front of him and the other two players with different expressions, and put away his expressions: "Ahem...... It's like we've gone through the anomaly here and discovered your existence. ”

“…… Have you discovered our presence? Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "You teleported here temporarily?" ”

"The Mage Council doesn't know these techniques, or how to use the Tower of Tyranny."

Waving his arm again, a strange purple-black flame began to emerge from Haywald's body floating in the air: "For example...... Just like it is now. ”

The piercing hum sounded around the rift area where Duan Qing was located with his spell casting action, and surrounded Duan Qing and the others with purple and black silk threads in the sky, and the intertwined magic fluorescence was then woven into a large fragment of Qing's incomprehensible symbols, forming a huge magic array under their feet, and the flame legend located at the edge of the magic array then raised its shield and blasted towards the location where those purple silk threads were, and the action of trying to break through the shackles of the magic circle was immediately bounced back by an invisible giant force, Duan Qing, who had not made any movements, looked down at the rather familiar lines of the Dao under his feet, and his pupils shrank slightly: "This is ...... Teleportation Circle? ”

"I didn't expect you to know each other." Haywald's figure on the other side of the purple light began to blur more and more: "The 'Taylorrent' method of connecting to the Void World can teleport anyone to any known coordinate point in the Free Continent...... As a sign of my appreciation for you, I have chosen the Land of Flames this time. ”

“…… No way! The head of the Imperial Family, Babaojun, immediately glared: "The northernmost flame land of the Free Continent? Are you human? ”

"Since this child of destiny hasn't made up his mind yet, I think it's better to give you more time to think about it." Looking at Duan Qing's face, who still hadn't resisted, Haywald finally put away his smile: "Just in case...... When the time comes, you will still choose to be our enemy. ”

"Looking forward to hearing from you in the long future, Your Excellency Mo Shang Qingshan."

Boom Boom –

The magical glow that dispelled the darkness finally turned into a vivid purple, completely filling the vision in front of Duan Qing, he quietly closed his eyes, and then disappeared into the space of the rift with the shouts of the two players beside him who finally reacted.

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

"I'm, I'm, I'm #@% of ......"

In the mountains and forests northwest of Anderson Independent State on the Free Continent, one of the three figures that gradually fell from the sky suddenly jumped up from the spot, shouting angrily: "O land of flames! Is that where people stay? And thousands of kilometers away from the principality! How do we get back...... Hey? ”

"Here...... It doesn't seem to be the Land of Fire. The other big shield warrior, who was calmer than the other party, then put away his shield, and then the big fan-like hand touched the adventurer's manual on his waist: "Such a beautiful place......

"Here...... It seems to be Taru no Mori. Babaojun, who had also calmed down, looked back and forth for a while, and then said his answer with a little surprise: "It's the Taru Forest in the northwest of the Independent State!" But this ...... Why ......"

"Probably because we're players, so something went wrong with the teleportation."

Hiding the Ring of the Mage Council in his hand, which was gradually losing light, behind him, Duan Qing explained in a low voice: "Listening to those NPCs boast about how powerful they are all day long, in the end they just scared themselves......

"If you want to talk about ordinary players, there should be only two of us present, right?" The Legend of the Flame, who was flipping through the map to confirm his location, raised his head when he heard the voice: "Judging from the conversation you had with that guy just now...... We're not the same at all. ”

"yes, who is that guy?" The Eight Treasures on the other side also showed an expression of interest: "What is your relationship with him?" ”

“…… Of course, it's a hostile relationship. ”

Sighing helplessly, Duan Qing, who sat down on the spot, turned to check his belongings: "He should be the high-level of the Restorer, one of the bosses of the Magic Council who was known as the Magic Empire before, and judging from the strength I have only witnessed once, it should not be an opponent that the existing players can deal with......"

"That guy is a restorer?" Eight Treasure Jun immediately said with a twinkle in his eyes, "The Restorer is indeed hidden in the Valley of the Dragon?" Our previous speculation...... It's all right? ”

"Look at it, you see, you really don't have confidence in yourself." Pointing at the other party's flame legend, he immediately rolled his eyes: "And don't be in a hurry to be happy, maybe people have also teleported over." ”

"That also proves that they have been hiding in the territory of the independent state!" Babaojun argued, "Plus the furnace there...... It's a furnace, a furnace! If the Restorationists really target the independent states as the next offensive target, how can we hold on? ”

"No, we'll have to go back and tell Master Runo right away." The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he jumped up on the hilt of his sword: "Let's go now!" You ......"

"Don't worry."

Raising his hand and making a downward motion, Duan Qing, who did not raise his head, interrupted the other party's words lightly: "The other party used a large teleportation technique that claims to be able to teleport thousands of kilometers, and now I must not have thought that we are still in the territory of the independent state, this is good news for us, if you are lurking, you may be able to count it......"

"The Qingshan brothers seem to have a plan for this collision." The flame legend on the other side also grinned: "Do you already have a manuscript in your heart?" ”

'Taylor Lent'...... Heh, the name is nice, but it's nothing more than the use of non-magical technology. ”

Thinking back to the scene that happened in the tower that day, Duan Qing's voice became much lower: "And the people in the free world who are linked to the void are not the restorers of the Magic Empire, but a group of more insidious guys......"

"More insidious?" The two Great Shield warriors glanced at each other, and then asked in unison, "Is there a bigger enemy behind the Restorationists?" ”

"A bunch of godheads, who claim to be in control of their destiny, judging by what I've heard from a woman who rebelled against the weavers of fate...... This group of people also seems to have a tendency to rule the world. ”

Squinting at the two of them, Duan Qing finally stood up and straightened his suit: "Let's talk about the specific situation later, anyway, we can't even beat the restorer now, although judging from the strength and moves shown by that guy just now, the possibility that the person who called himself Haywald is a weaver of destiny is obviously higher......"

"Wait, wait, can you make that clear." The Eight Treasure Monarchs on the side hurriedly raised his hand, and then laughed dryly a few times in Duan Qing's expressionless reaction: "That...... Or let's go back and talk slowly, I'll have a treat, as long as you can give us the secrets of this continent, or the background of the restoration......"

"I'm definitely going to go back, at least I'm going to deal with the results at hand." Duan Qing, who had retracted his gaze, lowered his head and said, "But before that......"

"I'll go down the line first."

Ignoring the complaints of the two people one after another, Duan Qing's body then turned into a white light that left the game world, and then after a period of skillful transformation, he appeared in the bloody battlefield privately customized by the Fool Adventure Group: "Sorry for the delay...... How's the training going? ”

"Everything went according to plan." Stopping the dagger he had been waving, Mengzhu, who noticed the arrival of the other party, replied excitedly: "After all, ......"

"It's going to start tomorrow."
