"That's, that'...... I have no ill will. ”

First a pair of hands raised into the air, then ordinary standard equipment, and the player slowly walked out of the passage, and then completely poked his body out of the darkness, and walked out into the light and shadow reflected by those magical words. A kind smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, he wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm, and then slowly took two steps forward under the gaze of Duan Qing and the Great Magician: "I'm just...... Aha, just a little curious, so ......"

“…… Yangtze River No. 7. ”

His eyes stayed on the ID that was gradually revealed on the other party's head for a while, and Duan Qing interrupted the other party's words in a low voice: "Why are you here?" ”

"I, I'm coming with you."

Walking forward for a distance again, Yangtze River No. 7 stopped a few meters away from Duan Qing's three people: "When the Captain of the Flame Legend confronted those unknown people before, I was also one of the people present, but they thought I was dead and didn't make up for me lying on the ground......"

“…… Lying corpses? ”

Glancing back at Aiyina behind him, Duan Qing turned his gaze to the other party's body again: "What do you mean...... You didn't die before? ”

"That's right, that's what it means."

Finally put down his hand, Yangtze River No. 7 smiled and pointed to his head: "Awesome, right?" Don't look at my strength, but I still have a good ability to play dead, not only deceiving the enemy, but also my own teammates......"

"You guy......" Duan Qing, who stepped forward, lifted the other party's collar up: "Are you just watching Ayina suffer from danger like this?" ”

"Hey, I'm not a master or anything like that, even the Flame Legend and their entire squad have been beaten so badly, I'm just cannon fodder when I add it." More and more cold sweat oozed from the face of Yangtze River No. 7, which was close at hand: "And ......"

"And isn't that guy dead?" He pointed at Aiyina behind Duan Qing and stared at his face: "We are just doing our best to protect this girl, if she really dies at someone's hands...... I don't have a good idea. ”

“…… It's only been such a short time for your mercenary consciousness to become so high. ”

After looking at the other party quietly for a while, Duan Qing gradually let go of his hand: "After all, there is no matter that has been officially entrusted to you, even if it is a guard, there is no salary to be paid...... Right? ”

"Haha, hahahaha......" Yangtze River No. 7, who twisted his neckline, let out a few embarrassed laughs: "I'm really sorry, but we did make a difference......"

"Okay, forget it." The follower who was protecting his family gradually took two steps back, and Duan Qing, who was expressionless, replied in a low voice, "But...... And why are you here? ”

"Curiosity, of course, curiosity."

As if mentioning the main body of the conversation, Yangtze River No. 7's expression suddenly became excited: "I saw that person before...... When the Great Magician appeared, I knew that something good was going to happen for you, so I kept quietly following you to see if I could find any powerful ruins...... Wow! ”

"It turns out that I made the right choice." He spread his arms and kept looking around at the magical writing that was still floating on the walls around the hall: "Look, look at this mysterious pattern, and this text that clearly belongs to the period of the Old Magic Empire...... What's written on it, Grand Magician? ”

“…… It's a record of something that happened a long time ago. ”

Looking at the face of the adventurer who suddenly approached him, Jin, who still maintained a rocky expression, replied lightly, "You can think of it as a stone tablet used by ancient people to record history...... That's it. ”

"Oh, really?" The excitement in the eyes of Yangtze River No. 7 did not dissipate half of it because of the other party's indifference: "How much can these things be worth if they are announced?" ”

“…… These things are priceless to historians. ”

This time, it was Duan Qing who was standing next to him who answered him: "But for us adventurers...... They may not be worth as much as a piece of equipment. ”

"Uh...... All right. So Changjiang No. 7, who was dressed in a swordsman's costume, withdrew his hand pointing around: "But...... You can't be such a beautiful place without anything, right? Have you searched for it? Did you find anything good? ”

“…… What, you still want a piece of the pie? ”

"Those who see have a share, and those who see have a share...... Ah no, no, I didn't mean that. ”

Putting away the greedy look on his face in an instant, Yangtze River No. 7 replied with a dry smile: "I mean to say...... If you've found something good, take it out and look at it together, if you haven't started looking for it yet...... I might be able to help! ”

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense." Quietly glancing at the great magician beside him, Duan Qing finally covered his forehead: "I know what you mean, don't lose your ...... for a while"

"We'll be right away."

Slight footsteps then appeared in the hall with a slight magic hum, and the figures of the two players and two NPCs marched together along the circular edge of the hall, and the whispered conversation between Duan Qing and Jin and the shouting of the Yangtze River Seven echoed at the top of the low hall from time to time, completely masking the roar of the energy storm that had not disappeared before. After a general inspection of the layout and structure of the place, the four of them eventually returned to the center of the hall where they had been activated, and while trying to remove the rubble that had collapsed nearby, they exchanged their initial opinions: "It does look clean...... It's so clean that it doesn't look like no one has ever visited. ”

"I can't rule out the possibility that the people of the Old Magic Empire cleaned it up when they first left here." Kim, who had used his magic to move the nearby rocks away, replied in a low voice, "And...... If you want to break through the void walls around here, it's not something ordinary people can do. ”

"Could it be the guys we mentioned earlier?" Duan Qing, who was also moving rocks, raised his head and asked, "They have been here before?" “

"Wait a minute, who are you talking about?"

Before Jin could say his answer, Yangtze River No. 7, who was helping on the side, hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Could it be that this place has been dug up?" ”

“…… Since we've come to that conclusion, it's highly likely that someone has visited before. ”

Seemingly ignoring the strange player's question, Kim looked back at this side without changing his gaze: "They may not know how this place works, but they must have taken away the secret information here." “

“…… How does it work? Forcefully moving away the last falling stone in front of him, Duan Qing turned around suspiciously and asked, "What other operation methods are here?" ”

"Even the people who claim to be the remnants of the Old Magic Empire aren't really the ones who survived a thousand years ago."

After looking around at the surrounding scene, Jin nodded with satisfaction: "Of course, our Mage Council is not the inheritor of the Nago civilization, but...... In terms of magic attainments and communication, we are much better than those who can only imitate. ”

"You only need to look at the magic structure here."

He raised his hands and slapped the condensed golden elemental energy towards where he was standing: "It's like ......"

"That's what I did when I first started those screens."

Boom Boom –

A slight tremor followed by a torrent of falling rock chips, echoing from the bottom of this hall, and a magic mark of the same shape then appeared on the circular floor under the feet of Duan Qing and the others with the action of pressing gold. As if to prove the orthodox source of this energy input, the magic mark that originally shone with green brilliance was then dyed a brilliant gold, and then like a dye immersed in water, it spread little by little towards the platform under Duan Qing's feet—circular marks, ring marks, marks pierced by sword-shaped marks, marks covered by strange words...... One strange magic mark after another, accompanied by an increasingly strong tremor and the flow of golden energy, gradually appeared around the disc-shaped central floor around Duan Qing, and then under the immersion of the golden earth element energy, one after another appeared between the gap between the dust and the falling rocks, different from the golden rune that was photographed into the air by the great magician, the other magic runes outlined by the earth element energy were still quietly imprinted in other directions on the ground of the disk, and Duan Qing, who was standing in one of the corners, then also raised his feet, One of the marks that he stepped on was revealed: "This is ......"

"This is probably the Central Magic Array."

Still holding the magic rune in his hand in the air with great force, Jin frowned and looked at the same foot: "The one in my hand represents the start switch, and the other ones ...... It should also have its own role. ”

"So, which one is that?" On the other side, the Yangtze River No. 7 immediately put on an excited look: "Where should we start?" Do you want to try it first...... Ahh ”

"Don't act rashly, the energy in the magical structure is quite huge right now." Looking at the figure of the adventurer who had been submerged in the stone ruins that had been ejected by the flowing golden light, Jin Slow, who maintained the spell-casting posture, reminded slowly, "With the weight that has been shown so far...... There must be a lot of magicians who control this magic array, and they must also have a standing high-level magic source. ”

“…… Isn't your current location the place where they put their magic sources? Looking at the brighter and brighter magic mark in the other party's hand, Duan Qing's eyes slowly widened: "Do you want to be a battery?" ”

“…… What is a battery? ”

"Nothing."

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Duan Qing turned around and revealed the other marks behind him: "Then the rest of these ...... What are you going to do? ”

“…… Of course, I solved it. ”

One of the two hands held in front of his chest slowly moved away, along with Kim's rock-like face: "You poor fellows with low magical skills......"

"Let's just look at it honestly."

An increasingly piercing buzzing sound then appeared in Duan Qing's ears, and the golden liquid from the ground began to flow again and spread towards the walls of the surrounding hall, and Jin, who was trying to mobilize the huge magical energy in his body, also closed his mouth tightly, and lifted the second trembling magic rune from the ring-shaped magic array. As if in response to the call of the great magician, the wall behind the magic rune with magic symbols then turned into the color of pure gold, and the unknown words that originally flowed on the curved wall gradually revealed a corner belonging to the ancient city of Zaraha with the spread of those golden streamers: "...... Not. ”

"Was it a monitoring room?"

Groaning and saying this, Duan Qing stared closely at the gloomy and dark pillar of light that appeared on the screen of the curved wall: "It's just right, you can monitor what they want to do here......

"The pillar of light...... It does not belong to any magical energy. Jin Tight, who held his hands together, frowned and interjected, "The imbalance of energy has reached an alarming level, and the magical elements in this city are disappearing dramatically. ”

"The end result?"

“…… The Digert Desert in the North, Did You Know? ”

Without answering the other party's question directly, Jin slowly shook his head: "Located in the north of the Golon Wasteland, close to the end of the northern tip of the continent...... That place is what it looks like after the magic element is extreme. ”

"I haven't actually seen it, but I can imagine it." Duan Qing's voice also became low: "Everything ends...... That's probably what it looks like, right? ”

"It's not easy to create such a scene."

In the huge hum of the energy escalating again, the third ring-shaped magic rune belonging to the edge of the magic array under his feet rose in front of Jin again: "Even if the energy that is forcibly introduced into the void, the magic entropy energy required is still an astonishing number, with the current level of magic on the free continent, except for the coincidence under special circumstances, the only thing that can be done is soul sacrifice." “

“……”

"There's a good chance that your friend named Maggie was the victim of this soul sacrifice."

Looking at Duan Qing's face, which was silent, Jin's face gradually disappeared into an increasingly intense golden light: "It was an even older secret art, a forbidden art that belonged to the era of freedom, and because of its strong sacrificial nature, it didn't even have a trace left in the end. ”

"But it's here now."

"No matter what happens to your friends now, the first thing we need to solve is the disaster in front of us."

Completely surrounded by the brilliant golden light gathered by the huge energy, the great magician who had done his best left only his last echo for a while: "Let's talk about everything after solving the problem in front of me, I ...... now."

"You need to concentrate."

Bell –

Compared with the hum of magic, the almost inaudible sound of the sword then appeared behind the humanoid golden light, and at the same time, Duan Qing's figure suddenly appeared in that direction, and he raised his arms, and then pulled the only metal chain on his body with force, and the sword light that attacked the great magician flew out along with the black shadow holding the sword.
