The news of the death of Duchy President Hossman was finally revealed to the entire Free Continent, but it was not spread in the form that Duan Qing had just seen, but in the way of death that the world was familiar with. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info took this turn of events as an opportunity for Pamir to take over the rule of the principality in the most justifiable way, and even now, without the passage of time, no one seems to know the name of the character who played Hossman and finally died in the pillar of light.

The question that Duan Qing was most concerned about could never be verified from then on, and even the nobles who appeared in front of him again from Neil Street could not explain this problem to him.

"I have something to say to you."

Still dressed in a decent aristocratic dress, the figure of Fortson, who was still wearing a decent aristocratic dress and a group of guards, appeared in front of Pamir who returned to the council hall, he glanced at Duan Qing, who was silent on the side, and finally shook his head and said: "I know you have a lot of opinions about the nobles in this incident, but ...... When you see what I want to show you, you may be able to change your mind. ”

“…… I can't even name it, what else do you want us to see? ”

"You should know that the nobility of the Duchy has been living in this place for hundreds of years."

Making a gesture of please to the others, Fortson turned and walked in the direction of Taal Street: "Although there have been many changes in the middle, and although many young people have forgotten their responsibilities, it is undeniable that there are ...... The legacy that belongs to Tadaya is still alive in this world. ”

"With our lives." He glanced back at the few people who had followed, and stretched out his hand to push open the door between the towers: "Inheritance in this world."

It seems that because of its location on the north side of the council hall, the Tahr, which used to entertain distinguished guests, has not been affected by the war at this time, and the old and luxurious rooms are still neat and clean, as if waiting for the arrival of the next guest at any time. Fortson, who was the first to walk into the room, ignored every outfit here, and took a few steps to the innermost wall, his eyes lingered for a while on the wall scene carved with intricate patterns, and then he turned his body: "Although our Fortson family is not a family divided here, it is also the only family that knows this answer, in my original thought, this should be our glory, but now it ......"

"It's not anymore."

In the astonished gaze of the crowd, the old man raised his hand and turned around, aiming a ring on his hand at the center of the pattern on the wall. With a creaking and grinding sound, a large hole cracked in the floor between the towers, and then an ancient staircase spiraled down in front of everyone.

"The underground water is inaccessible to this place."

Looking at Duan Qing's gaze, Fortson said with a low smile: "Only this secret passage is the entrance to this secret room."

"What's down here?"

"I don't know."

To everyone's surprise, the old man shook his head and answered Duan Qing's question: "The secret that has been guarded has been passed for so long that no one can say what it is used for, but if you take a look...... Maybe you can understand a little. ”

"Use ...... Use? ”

"Just look at it."

After greeting several of the guards guarding the door, the old man took the lead down the dimly lit staircase: "When the Restorationists first appeared to me, they claimed that they would solve the secrets of this place, and since they had already completed their control of the city, I compromised them - the nobility of the principality would not interfere with their actions, and would show their support for them at the right time, and in return...... After taking control of the Principality, they will continue to maintain our position in the Principality and give us the greatest help and support for our heritage here. ”

Bright lights suddenly appeared with the footsteps of several people, and then reflected another wall in front of everyone, but unlike the previous wall, almost everything that appeared on this wall was a sci-fi style that was incompatible with the free continent - gray metal, straight iron beams, flashing all kinds of unexplained points of light, and runes that appeared from time to time, as if pulling everyone from the exotic city to the underground secret facility full of futuristic atmosphere. On the surface of the center of the wall, patches of blurred text were still circulating, and the panel, which seemed to broadcast something, although much older than the system panel used by the players, still gave others who saw this scene an indescribable sense of shock: "This, this is ......"

"They always thought it was a product of the Old Magic Empire."

The old man who walked to the side turned around and smiled: "So I have to respond to their wishes."

"So...... You deceived them? Duan Qing asked, "Those previous statements are also all about you acting?"

“…… Not all like that. ”

The old man was silent for a while: "When they first appeared in front of me, I was still scoffing at what these people said, but ...... The events that followed, as well as the deaths of Stanford and others, forced me to take their word for it. ”

"Stanford is dead?" Pamir asked in surprise: "How did he ......?"

"It was the hardest time of my life."

The old man didn't want to answer this question, but sighed deeply: "The Fortson family has experienced countless generational changes, and has also encountered countless winds and waves, and it is not because of any glory and wealth, nor because of some supreme power and status, but because we insist on our responsibilities and keep the secrets that have been guarded for nearly a thousand years." If the Principality stands, then we will live forever, and if the Principality falls......"

"We will live forever." In the inexplicable solemn atmosphere, the old man showed a deep smile: "This is what I thought at that time."

"That's the real reason for your compromise? What a qualified politician. Pamir nodded knowingly, then pointed to the light that flashed on the wall: "So now...... Why are you telling us again? Have you given up your faith? ”

“…… for you have defeated them. ”

"Just because of this? With all due respect, Lord Fortes, you don't look like one of those who tend to be inflammatory......"

"Because you have broken the prophecy."

Following Fortes' suddenly raised finger, Duan Qing looked towards the center of the wall, only to see that something was always showing on the screen, and at this time, a paragraph of text was flowing non-stop: "This is...... Tadaya's prophecy? ”

"Yes." The old man replied, "These words have been displayed in this place since the founding of the Principality, and as the foreshadowing of them has gradually become a reality, so have our burdens and our actions becoming more and more cautious. We've been waiting, waiting for this wall to finally open, and we've always thought it would be when all the prophecies came true, but now ......"

"They don't work." The old man bowed his head: "Because of your efforts, hundreds of years of inheritance...... Worthless. ”

"Well, I think you should probably reconsider the way you interpret prophecy......"

"Suffice it to say that you should be held accountable for this change in fate."

Looking up at the crowd in front of him, Fortes' eyes flashed with a light that only an old man of this age would have: "So, I have shared the secrets of our family with you, and I hope you can always remember ...... in the future"

"You are on a whole new path." He stretched out his hands: "One ...... A path that even Tadaya's ancestors did not anticipate. ”

Boom Boom

As his words fell, the metal wall in front of everyone suddenly underwent an unimaginable change, and then with a violent flicker of light, a dark and dark gap was revealed. Everyone, including Fortes, widened their eyes in surprise, looking straight at the scene that was about to appear behind the gap, but the boundless darkness fell on Duan Qing's body one step ahead, completely enveloping his body and consciousness.

"I rely on ......"

He was stunned for a long time, and then operated on his system panel for a while, and finally after quitting the game, he saw the real reason why he was kicked offline on the official website belonging to the free world.

Update and maintenance: from 23:00 on March 24 to 00:00 on March 26.

Time remaining: 24 hours and 59 minutes.

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

The news of the free world update was announced after the two winners of the League Cup, and due to the complexity of the situation at the time, the news was not immediately notified to all players - according to the original idea of the league, the majority of players should have gone offline because they watched the game, so this announcement at the end of the venue will not cause too much shock. However, many people were fighting for life and death in Tania on the day of the finals, and then there was a team competition, so there were not a few players who were kicked offline because of checking the situation online, supporting the battle online, and celebrating the victory online, not to mention the bigwigs of those guild forces.

Thankfully, even at this point, the players still don't complain, because what has happened in the last few hours is enough for them to talk about for a long time.

First of all, the results of the two finals made many spectators exclaim, "Sure enough", because in the past, as the second in the past years, the wings of freedom still only won the second place in the individual competition and the team competition. While countless non-Freedom Wings fans despise the failure of the "crowd tactics", they also express deep sympathy and concern for Freedom Wings' achievements in and out of the game, while Freedom Wings supporters are more concerned about the performance of their opponents in the two games, as well as ...... The fact of why they failed.

"Even if you don't have a team competition, at most it's not very lucky, but the performance of Duan Shanhe is definitely not normal." This is their hottest view at the moment: "He must have cheated!"

"Those moves and moves of his ...... Inhuman, inhuman! ”

"Either I got an injection or I took medicine...... No, is it still useful for this generation of virtual technology to take medicine? ”

"Speaking of which...... This scene is a bit familiar, huh? ”

This scene is certainly familiar to the pros, as they had a similar question a few years ago when a dynasty began to rule the world of virtual reality games. The rumors about Yijian also began to appear in people's field of vision at that time, so the topic of what Broken Mountains and Rivers comprehended soon entered the cold palace in the memories of some professionals, and it became a historical suspense that is difficult to verify. Someone who wanted to act as a reporter for a post-match interview wanted to ask for their thoughts and explanations, but from the feedback they gave on the forums afterwards, the attempts of these people were almost the same - no comment.

Speculation intensified, even though it was almost a matter of knowledge to the pros.

The venue and outcome of the final battle soon became another hot topic for a large number of players in their spare time, as they soon discovered that the battle in which the second best in the world was won by a last-ditch effort was actually a real thing to play out in the game. And things like whether the Pamirs survived, the appearance of the mysterious purple light, the withdrawal of the empire, and the final outcome of the principality soon became the most prominent questions in this incident, but there were not many parties involved in this incident, and the total number of players present was not enough for a hundred, so there were very few people who could say one or two details in the end, and the rest were all onlookers waiting to watch the big show, or wanting to watch the big show. The Wings of Liberty containment personnel led by half a box of cigarettes may be afraid of face and are reluctant to mention the fact that they were sent back to their hometown by a small adventure party, and the players who are mixed with the dark forces will naturally not risk being discovered in front of the masses, for fear that their lives will not be guaranteed, only the official speaker of the rivers and lakes then came out and said two sentences, claiming that they have foiled the plot to subvert the principality, but the specific details, as well as the above questions that some players are concerned about, They are outsiders in the game, and there is no way to say more in the siege of many players.

"It's not because my plan to beat the water dogs failed, so I want to find some place to come back, right?"

With a smile, he turned off these hot discussions that he was looking through, Duan Qing stretched out a long lazy waist, and the tired feeling that he had not experienced for a long time and penetrated deep into his soul finally began to gradually hit his heart with the relaxation of his spirit. There was still a knock on the door belonging to a certain girl outside the house, as well as the sound of her shouting to go out, Duan Qing smiled helplessly, and finally turned off the chat board about the explanation salary inquiry, and slowly pushed open the door of the game cabin: "I said...... It's the middle of the night, and even if you go out to play, at least you have to wait until dawn to ......."

His movements stopped suddenly, along with his movement out of the game pod, because the avatar of his friend, who he thought would never light up again, suddenly lit up.

[The other party sent a call request, did you accept it?] 】
