1085 maids
The flames that occurred in the Golden Rose Tavern announcing the beginning of chaos in the imperial capital were not noticed by Duan Qing and the others at first, and they who happened to be nearby did not expect that these two people on their side would be targeted by the chancellor of the exchequer who suddenly appeared, and at the same time, they were inexplicably identified as arsonists in this man-made disaster. It is naturally an impossible choice to be captured, and the two people who had drawn their respective weapons early also hurriedly gathered their own strength, and the magic and tricks that were originally intended to be used to save people also collided head-on with the Chancellor's subordinates who rushed forward from all directions in the steam and exclamation rising from the sky: "Mire Technique!" The Frozen Lands! β
"Frost Enchantment! Two slashes! β
"I said, Your Excellency the Chancellor, as a nobleman of the Empire, even if you don't salute first and then soldier, you must at least explain the reason for doing so, right?"
"Reason? Isn't this fire in front of us enough? β
Behind the figure that was almost heavily surrounded, the figure belonging to the disheveled fat nobleman gradually appeared at the end of the battle light and shadow where Duan Qing and Xue Lingxuan Ice were wielding: "You! It must be that you have a grudge against my actions in the temple, so you take advantage of my pleasure here...... No, I did this while I was here to inspect the family business! β
"Hahaha! You didn't think I'd escape through the back door of the tavern, did you? The serious, angry voice grew faster and faster, and Field Pamuel's voice gradually took on a smug feeling: "Want to disadvantage me? You're not even close! β
"So the two of us are just passing by, is your victimization paranoia too serious?"
With a wave of his hand, he spilled a large handful of magic powder, and Duan Qing used the flame light band that burned in the air again to force the noble thugs who rushed forward around him to retreat: "I understand that you feel uncomfortable and frightened after doing too many things on weekdays, but you shouldn't casually sprinkle this kind of scared emotion on other people's heads." β
"You, what did you say?" Field's angry voice rose into the air as expected: "I, I'm going to kill you!" I'm going to burn you to ashes too! β
"Come on, another guy who can't communicate." Pouting his mouth, Duan Qing then withdrew his eyes from the crowd of shadows pouring out of the street: "Ling Bing, are you okay over there?" If it's okay......"
"Let's rush out first."
The fire elemental burning in the surrounding air became a little brighter, and it seemed that it was producing a more violent reaction in the powder that was swaying out of Duan Qing's hand, and the surging light flame then forced the surrounding figure back by two points again like a flare, and then what appeared in front of them was an ice crystal wall full of cold energy: "Wall of Ice!" β
"Go this way! They rushed out of the tavern! β
Signaling to the rear of the two people facing each other, Duan Qing then reminded the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, who was still using his sword to resist the enemy, and rushed to the right: "Avoid the brush point!" Let's run first! β
"A good night was ruined by them...... Hum. β
The condensed white light turned into two intersecting frost sword shadows in the hands of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, freezing the last two black-clothed thugs who were blocking behind the two people who were about to escape: "I'll settle this account with you later." β
"Oh? This young lady seems to have a slight misunderstanding of us. β
Qing Yue's voice then sounded in front of the two players who walked out of the encirclement along the frozen wall, and the figure of the magician who had previously suppressed the entire tavern fire with an ice storm appeared in front of them, and the man who called himself Festa Pamuel was like a noble gentleman then swung the golden staff in his hand to the side, and a majestic energy visible to the naked eye continued to appear around the floating figure: "It's not you and me who should settle the scoreβ"
"It's us who is right with you."
The golden energy surging out of the golden-colored staff weaved into a brilliant magic array in the air, carrying countless shock waves mixed with various magic elements and falling towards the heads of Duan Qing and the others who had just run to the side of the street, and even the two ice-colored magic walls that had been shaped by Duan Qing before were also struck into primitive water-based magic elements in the aftermath of the impact of this energy flow. Urgently threw a bottle of magic ablation potion into the air, Duan Qing, who didn't have time to react more, hurriedly blocked the snow spirit phantom ice beside him under him, but a crystal shield that had appeared in front of Duan Qing before completely surrounded the location of the two people in the next moment, blocking those chaotic and chaotic energy flows on the surface of the spherical shield: "...... Violet! β
Looking at the expressionless movement of the purple-haired woman who appeared behind the two people at some point, Duan Qing reminded the other party in a low voice: "Don't expose yourself at this time, do you know how many people are now-"
"Ugh."
Looking at the confused face that the great magician then looked at him, Duan Qing sighed deeply, and the words that he originally wanted to dissuade the other party were swallowed back by him, replaced by the firm eyes that belonged to the gray-robed magician: "Well, since the matter has come to this point......
"Oh? How do you still have such a hand hidden? β
In the vision that gradually became clearer, the noble magician floating in the air brushed back the meticulously combed black hair on his head, and then the eyes that were high and down also fell on the purple-haired woman who was protected by Duan Qing behind him, and the surprise in his eyes became a little thicker: "No wonder you dare to be so unscrupulous in front of the first noble magician of my empire, it turns out that you have a helper...... Well? β
"This womanβ" The magical energy surrounding her body shifted a little as the golden staff swung slightly, and Festa, who was looking at Violet, grew in a skeptical voice: "This woman's faceβ"
Oops, is it still discovered.
Gritting his teeth, Duan Qing began to look for a route to escape around the alley that was surrounded again, but the smug laughter belonging to the golden magician suddenly sounded in the air above the two of them, accompanied by the exaggerated movement of his open hands: "What a beautiful face!" What a work made in heaven! A match made in heaven! β
ββ¦β¦ I thought that you, an imperial noble magician dressed like a dog, would have such noble sentiments, but in the end it was the same. Finally understood the meaning of the other party's eyes when he looked at Violet with a big smile at this time, and Xue Lingphantom Ice couldn't help but let out a sneering laugh: "It's the same as that fat pig." β
"You're right, we're really family."
Mountains of figures surrounded the streets like black clouds, and the voice belonging to the Imperial Chancellor of the Exchequer, Field Pamuel, then resounded from behind the walls of these black clouds: "To the twoβno, to the three, this Festa Pamuel, the first noble magician of the Empire, is a member of our Pamuel family. β
"At the same time, he is also my second brother."
The fire that had not yet been extinguished still shone in the distant scene, and the fat nobleman shook his head and said in a smug voice, and the neatly haired and handsome aristocratic magician floating above this airspace also landed two points downward, and made a standard aristocratic etiquette towards Violet beside Duan Qing with that oily face: "Hello, beautiful young lady, are you interested in becoming my lifelong partner?" β
"Playing hooligans is so direct, I have a new understanding of the nobles of your empire." Blocking the purple-haired woman who was standing in place behind him, Duan Qing showed the attitude of a gentleman and nobleman without humility or arrogance: "What, you want to rob our maid?" Is it with our consent? β
"Girl, maid?"
Before the golden magician in front of him with a crooked mouth let out his strange scream, the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice on the side took the lead in pulling back Duan Qing, who was standing tall in front of him: "Hey, don't take advantage of others because they are delirious." β
"You know what, it's called disguise." Waving his hand indifferently, Duan Qing, who made an OK gesture at Xue Ling's Phantom Ice, then pretended to pull up his lie: "To tell you, I'm in the abyss, Mode Feelings, Gatlinfsky was also an imperial nobleman, and this is a maid who has been following me all the time, and she can use lightning to take the enemy's head from thousands of miles away, and the Jianghu people give the nickname Purple Electric Maniac Trivier is alsoββ"
"Trivier?"
Fox suspiciously glanced at the woman who was shrouded in cloak blocked by Duan Qing without denying it, and broke free from Duan Qing's large number of rap words, Festa then returned to his gentlemanly appearance: "Ahem...... Hello Miss Trivielle, I am Festa, the second son of the Imperial Pamuel family, I wonder if you have time to admire your face tonight, Miss? We can have a candlelit dinner together and deepen our magical bond......"
ββ¦β¦β
"This young lady need not panic, we will not hurt you and your ...... The host's. β
Gritting his teeth and saying the words that he didn't want to say, the golden magician who descended to the same height as the ground smiled at Duan Qing on the side and gestured: "My brother and I don't mean to be offended, it's just that there are too many things happening tonight, and we should find some clues from these chaos......
"It's all said and done, your persistence is really disgusting."
Sideways to show Violet's reaction with her head still down and not moving, Duan Qing pulled the corners of her mouth to block back the shy expression of this oily noble magician like a pig brother: "Our maid disagrees, please stop harassing us." β
"You, what did you say?" Throwing the golden staff to the side, Festa's expression really became unnatural: "You, you-Miss Trevelle didn't explicitly object, what is an adventurer talking nonsense here?" β
"Then she didn't explicitly agree, huh? And as her master, I certainly have the right to decide such a thing for her......"
"You rotten wood that hinders the pleasure of two lovers! A gentlemanly hillbilly! I'm going to propose a duel to you! Let you get this beautiful Miss Trivielle out of youβ"
"Don't be fooled by this liar! He's not an Imperial nobleman at all! β
Majestic magical energy rose again in the sky above this block, and a piercing roar suddenly appeared in the crowd surrounding Duan Qing, and the figure belonging to Field Pamuel then squeezed out a wide gap from the crowd and came to Duan Qing with difficulty: "He is a wanted criminal in the Frey Empire!" A sinner who has committed many crimes! It's not an imperial nobility at all! There are no maids either! β
"I, I already knew."
Facing his brother's menacing announcement and Duan Qing's silent reaction, Festa, who had awakened, pretended to be aware and stretched out his hand to the tip of the gray-robed magician's nose: "How could a powerful magician like Trivielle treat a humble adventurer like you as his master......"
"Don't talk too much, after all, we are the ones who have been summoned by His Majesty the Emperor now." Ignoring the golden magician's magical pressure, Duan Qing squinted at the Chancellor's face: "And...... You don't think we're arsonists for any reason, aren't you just because you fall in love with this beautiful maid in my house? With all due respect, Bitlevier's beautiful maid, every corner of this imperial capital is a big handful......"
"You know what! How could those vulgar fans be compared to me, the golden magician! β
Interrupting Duan Qing's deep groan rudely, Festa who had ground his staff on the ground spread his arms with heavy magical energy: "Only beautiful and powerful magician women can be worthy of my status as the head of the Imperial Magicians and the status of the second son of the Pamuel family at the same time, and such women are simply less than the stars in the sea of Leipzig in the Empire!" β
"I, Festa, am thirty years old this year, and I thought that I would never be able to find a suitable partner for the rest of my life." The high voice dropped slightly as he stroked his chest, and his gaze returned to the purple-haired woman who was blocked by Duan Qing: "But nowβfate has finally sent a young lady like Trivielle to me!" I have finally been blessed by God! β
"It's impossible for you to marry her, not in the next life."
Spit hatefully on the ground, and Duan Qing's face finally lost its due politeness: "Lao Tzu has never married such a beautiful woman in his life, and you guy, a guy who jumped out of nowhere, still delusionally wants to take this piece of swan meat away from me......"
"So why am I explaining this to you, a criminal?" Raising his hands again, Festa standing in front of Field raised a large amount of chaotic energy in a loud voice: "Hand over the woman behind you, adventurer!" For the sake of her still being so cold and clean, I can consider leaving a whole corpse for those of you who dare to deceive me with lies. β
"This gentleman is not lying to you, Festa."
The desperate situation began to rise gradually in the corner of this firelit alley, accompanied by the distorted air squeezed and deformed by the magical energy between the two groups of people facing each other with a huge disparity in strength, a mellow and indifferent voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, accompanied by a man in black standing in the corner of the alley arranging his wrist and gradually revealing the figure under the magic light in the corner: "At least he didn't lie to you - he is indeed a nobleman of the empire." β
"I, Simon Ingermild, can testify."
