1078 Marshmallows
"From another point of view, this place is a relatively quiet and leisurely place."
"It is enough to use it as a cemetery, at least to ensure that the deceased will not be disturbed......"
"Who thought it was out of the woods before? Is it me? Is it me? Don't look at me like that, I haven't said anything like that, I'm not going to admit it. β
"Okay, well, knowing your determination to deny to the death, don't be so nervous."
Retreating behind Violet again, the casual conversation between a man and a woman immediately unfolded in the scattered and disorderly tombstones, and Duan Qing, who had his hands folded in front of his abdomen, maintained such a posture and bathed in the wind and harmony for a long time, and then said his exclamation: "This song is quite good." β
"If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed that our archmage is just singing a tune right now." Xue Lingphantasm also sighed slightly: "Although I don't know what the name of this song is. β
"Why, haven't you heard of it either? I thought it was a local nursery rhyme in the imperial capital......"
"I'm not idle enough to even memorize the nursery rhymes that are sung by the children of the Empire, if you're really interested...... You can go up and ask yourself. β
"Come on, you don't know her current state."
Pointing to Violet's back, Duan Qing lowered his head with a heavy face: "Instead of interrupting the other party's impromptu humming, it is better to cherish the precious time when she returns to normal again, and the other trivial matters, let's investigate when we have more opportunities." β
"Agreed." The snow spirit phantom on the side nodded his head: "But ...... She seems to have been recovering more often lately. β
"Oh? What do you think is the reason for this? Duan Qing squinted his eyes and glanced at the other party: "It can't be because of your meticulous care, right?" β
"If you know, it's good." Xue Lingphantasm Bing chuckled and stroked the long white hair under her hood: "If it weren't for her pity, I would have thrown her to you, a negative man who never cares about others, a long time ago." β
"Hey, when you weren't there before, I also worked hard to take care of this puppet who didn't know anything." Duan Qing squinted his eyes and turned around: "And who said before that you wanted to leave her in that library?" I think you've wanted to throw this burden away for a long time, but you haven't been able to find a chance, right? β
"Even if it is, so what?" Xue Lingphantasm Bing straightened her nose: "What other opinions can you have on this method of temporarily disposing of the trouble?" β
ββ¦β¦ Well, it's me who is incompetent. So Duan Qing touched his nose and shrank back: "There is no good way for the time being, and I am not familiar with the place of the imperial capital, what I am doing so far is just to take advantage of this free time to find some opportunities to break the deadlock." β
"Don't you see we're making progress?" He pointed ahead, and a comforting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Even if we don't find a valuable clue, it is a very memorable reward to listen to the music that the great magician sang for us...... Not. β
"It looks like it's over."
The sad and tactful song became more and more intermittent in the ears of the two people, and finally disappeared into the gradually brighter sky along with the wind that kept swirling and dancing around her, and the purple-haired woman who stopped trembling then fell into a long silence with her silent back, and only after a while did she slowly stand up in the inquiry voice of Duan Qing who gradually sounded behind her: "How is it?" Do you feel a change in your body? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Do you remember anything? Good things, bad things, anything. β
ββ¦β¦β
Still without any intention of answering, the purple-haired Violet just stared at Duan Qing's face who asked the question with lifeless eyes, and the mature face with tear stains also became more and more wooden with the breeze, and finally disappeared behind Duan Qing with her slow steps. Looking at the silent movement of the great magician who had returned to the state of becoming a puppet, Duan Qing, who had his hands on his hips, sighed deeply again, glanced at Xue Lingphantom Ice, and then inspected the rest of the cemetery, and finally landed on the surface of the tombstone in front of him again: "Fra Roel, right?" What other clues are coming? β
"Roland." Xue Lingphantom Ice whispered to the other party, "We can go back to Nobilite Street and see what is going on with the strange situation we missed before." β
"Okay, let's go check with that." Nodding slightly, Duan Qing then took the lead and walked towards the outside of the cemetery: "I hope trouble won't come to the door again." β
"The fire we saw before is probably the strongest way we can express our dissatisfaction in the imperial capital." Then the snow spirit phantom ice that followed forward looked into the distance towards the vermilion-covered city: "There is the emperor's protection......
"No one should really do anything to us."
The steps of the three people who gradually extended forward converged with the gradually increasing crowd around them with the passage of time, and occasionally flashed the scene of the three people eating food and choosing objects on the street, and after the baptism of the Sky Garden incident, their mood seemed to be different from the day before, and even the pace of the route became lighter when they came back: "This is the Adventurers' Association, why don't you go in and say hello?" This is the Adventurer's Guild in the Imperial Capital, the headquarters of the largest Adventurer's Guild in the entire Free Continent. β
"The location is very golden, and I almost brought the palace down the hill next to it...... Well, that's Nobilite Avenue over there, isn't it? It's so close to the center of the city, why didn't you notice it yesterday......"
"You just remember to look at those noble ladies! There are also these wide streets, which are said to have been deliberately widened in consideration of the extreme inconvenience of traffic in the imperial capital. β
"But I haven't seen a few horse-drawn carriages pass by on the streets, could it be that because of the version innovation, the backward horse-drawn carriages have been obsolete by the advanced magic guide cars?"
Pointing at the three or two railroad tracks that occasionally appeared on the bluestone floor tiles around him, Duan Qing, who had an exaggerated face, then compared the scene of another street in front of him: "Look, why is there no one on Nobilite Street?" β
"I don't know." Xue Lingphantasm Ice shook her head slightly: "I have hardly been to this city since the opening of the sixtieth level, and I don't even know when our station moved......
"Well, as long as you remember the other traits." Throwing out two gold coins, Duan Qing took the two bunches of marshmallow-like items placed on the street stall from the vendor's hands with a useless expression: "For example...... Where is the Roland family in your impression, can you identify it now? β
"Right in that direction." took the "marshmallow" in the other party's hand without care, and the corners of Xue Ling's mouth involuntarily pulled out a little smile: "Aren't you visiting the temple fair, can you use such a cost?" β
"In the eyes of the alchemist, these two gold coins are not even a fraction." Duan Qing waved his hand disdainfully: "I even bought you the two earrings just now, what is it while eating and shopping...... Well? β
Curiosity suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he just wanted to take a step, and then he set his eyes on Violet, who was silently following the two people behind him, and then took two steps back, and then looked at the face of the purple-haired puppet, and finally stuffed the marshmallow in his hand into the other party's hand: "Do you want it?" β
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
A little doubt appeared in her dazed eyes, Violet, who was holding the marshmallow, looked up at Duan Qing's face, and her expression of not knowing how to react fell on the colorful cloud in her hand after a while, as if she was trying to consider what the meaning of the object in front of her was: "......"
"Well, at least the image is not bad." There was a snickering in his ears, and Duan Qing, who slapped his palms, then turned around and walked towards the depths of the street: "You can take it first, it's okay to stuff it directly into your mouth, but don't blame me for not reminding you - it's very sweet." β
"I said before that you wouldn't take care of people, so you learned to be obedient so quickly." Xue Lingxuan, who came forward, complained with a flat mouth: "But don't you feel a little disobedient to stuffing marshmallows to a great magician with a mature female style?" β
"Where is the discord? I think it's a perfect fit. Duan Qingtou replied without looking back: "Because in my eyes, she is no different from a child who doesn't know anything...... Not. β
"This is the place?"
In the sight of countless people still passing back and forth on the street, he stopped in front of a featureless wall: "The address of the Roland family you are talking about?" β
"This is the approximate location." It seemed that she still couldn't believe her eyes, and the voice of Xue Ling Phantom Ice echoed around Duan Qing as she kept patrolling back and forth: "But...... Strange, how did it become like this? β
"Not only the gate, but also the style has changed a lot, hasn't it?" So Duan Qing groaned and pinched his chin: "Transformed to the extent that familiar people can ignore it - it seems that there is really a black history that is enough to call things and people." β
"It's probably been nearly a year since I last came to the imperial capital." Looking up at the increasingly hot weather at the end of February, Xue Lingphantom Ice forcibly pressed down his slightly chaotic mood: "If you really make large-scale hands, feet and movements, a year should be enough." β
"Lola now lives in the City of Freedom, 108,000 miles away from us, and if we want to figure out these things, we probably have to rely on ourselves." His gaze withdrew from the wall in front of him, and Duan Qing began to look to the left and right of their location: "Find someone to ask, preferably someone who is always around here." β
"Leave it to me, I rememberβ"
ββ¦β¦ What happened to you? β
The voice in his ears suddenly broke into two, and Duan Qing, who noticed a trace of abnormality, fell his gaze on Xue Ling's phantom ice, and the white-haired woman whose voice stopped abruptly also covered her head as if she had suddenly encountered a huge trauma at this time, and her eyebrows like autumn water were also wrinkled together in pain: "This feeling...... Damn it. β
"Mental emptiness?" A certain possibility flashed in his heart, Duan Qing gritted his teeth: "How long have you been online?" Don't continue the game yet, hurry up and go offline and restβ"
"No, not for that reason."
The painful gaze appeared in front of Duan Qing with a somewhat distorted expression that forcibly endured the pain, and the white-haired woman who was supported by the gray-robed magician suddenly turned her gaze to the side of the street: "Quick! β
"Here they are."
The stumbling footsteps appeared beside Duan Qing with a violent tearing action, accompanied by a hurried voice belonging to the snow spirit phantom ice that suddenly raised, and she pulled the gray magic robe so desperately squeezed a gap between the vendors and passers-by along the street, and ran into the shadow of the alley on the opposite side of the block: "Hey, hey!" What the hell is wrong with you? β
"Look there."
Leaning against the wall and taking a few heavy breaths, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who did not answer Duan Qing's question, did not answer Duan Qing's question for a long time before turning her sweaty face towards the corner on the other side of the street: "It's him." β
ββ¦β¦ Liangchen Meiyu? β
Looking at the scene of a gorgeously dressed and noble-like male swordsman player who gradually appeared at the end of that field of vision, Duan Qing's voice couldn't help but be lowered: "You sensed his arrival?" β
"Probably so." Answering ambiguously, Xue Lingbing gritted her teeth and poked her head out: "The crux of the matter isβ"
"The purpose of their presence here."
After confirming that Violet was still following them, Duan Qing, who had calmed down, turned his head to look in the direction where Liangchen Meiyu was, only to see that this guy, who had become like an imperial nobleman, led his men to the front of the wall they were standing on, and while asking the passers-by around him, he pointed at the wall: "...... Are they looking for us? β
"I guess I've been monitoring the neighborhood for a long time." Leaning back into the shadows of the alley, the voice of Snow Ling, who held his forehead with one hand, replied with difficulty: "If it were me, I would also think of watching the most critical places in this city, waiting for the enemy to automatically send me to the door......
"Well, at least that proves we're not in the wrong place." With difficulty retracting his outstretched hand, Duan Qing turned his head and leaned forward again: "But...... Wings of Liberty is back? At a time like this? At the risk of being discovered by the Empire? β
"Whatever they want to do, I'm one of their snipers right now."
Gritting his teeth and swallowing the last cold breath he had inhaled, Xue Lingphantom Ice looked up at the other wall of the alley where they were: "Let's go, get out of here first." If you want to inquire about information......"
"There's a perfect target right in front of you."
