“…… Good sword. ”

The violent air current collided with the point where the heavy sword landed, and flew along the edge of the entire garden, and the earth with a trace of bloody aura was then lifted into the ground of the central point, and flew into the distance where the aura exploded along with the body of the snow spirit phantom ice. His body was slightly distorted by the force of the tilt, and Gomez, who maintained the posture of dropping his sword, then stood still in place, and it was not until the other people around him, who had become staggered by the collision of the air current, struggled to get up, that he spat out the first sentence after he dropped his sword: "What kind of sword is this?" ”

"The name of the sword is Dragon's Tooth, and it was given by a nobleman."

Unexpectedly, she was swept away into the distance, and the cloak woman named Snow Spirit Phantom Ice then slowly appeared at the entrance of the garden where the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, she first glanced in the direction where Duan Qing fell, and then stood up with the white long sword stuck upside down on the ground: "It's just an ordinary long sword, probably not in the eyes of Your Excellency." ”

"Dragon's Tooth...... Hmph, I see. ”

His eyes lingered on the surface of the milky white long sword in Xue Ling's Phantom Ice hand for a while, and Gomez finally slowly put away the fallen weapon: "But...... If you want to block the sword just now, I'm afraid it's not just the dragon tooth itself. ”

"You want to know what's going on?" Slowly standing up straight, Xue Lingphantom Ice then took a posture with his sword again: "Then let's have a few more rounds." ”

“…… Not necessarily. ”

His gaze shifted from the blade of the long sword to the top of the woman's head, and Gomez's tone became much lower: "A promise is a promise, I will keep what I said before, since you have taken this sword......"

"Then you've passed this level."

Then he said the second half of the sentence, and Chris, who was sitting in the pavilion at the back, puffed up his palms again: "Wonderful battle, I haven't seen such a battle for a long time!" This lady, who is your swordsmanship? ”

"Swordsmanship can't be called anything, it's just some of my own understanding of using swords."

Exchanging glances with Duan Qing, who slowly got up behind him, Xue Lingphantom Bing finally shook his head and replied, "Let Your Highness see you smile." ”

"Accurate, light, and a hit."

Rubbing his chin and pondering for a while, the blonde-haired young man then stopped thinking about his recollections: "Speaking of which, your adventure party is called the Qingling Adventure Group, right?" Sure enough......"

"It's very similar to your name."

He clapped his hands, the smile on his face became more and more satisfied, and Duan Qing, who was slapped into the distance by the previous sword qi impact, also held his shoulders and gradually walked back at this time, looking up at the prince with indifferent eyes: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the compliment...... Are we qualified for this? ”

"Qualified, at least with me."

stopped clapping, and His Royal Highness Prince Chris, who had been sitting on the edge of the stone table on the pavilion, stood up again: "But...... You still have one final level to beat. ”

"And the last level?" Blinking his eyes, Duan Qing then showed an innocent expression: "Isn't it already qualified?" ”

"When Bamos Qing made this suggestion to me before, he also asked for the opinion of the Mage Tower."

Pointing to the tall tower surrounded by purple light under the clear sky to the southwest of where they were, Chris shook his head helplessly, "The tower managed by Master Violet...... I think it's called the Violet Tower, and they designed a test of their own for future cooperation and just in case. ”

"You need to unlock this magic mechanism."

He waved his hand, and then sent a small gold coin emitting a hazy purple light to Duan Qing through the hand of another royal guard: "Just untie it......"

"I'll put your names on my list of convoys with my own hands."

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

"So there's a problem with their way of issuing delegated tasks."

Some time later, on the outskirts of Tanzania City, in the depths of a large wilderness mixed with hills and rocks, the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice then emerged from the fields between the only few weeds, and stopped in an area that could be used to rest with great difficulty: "It's a competition again, and in the end, I actually have to test my magic knowledge...... If they can choose a qualified player in this way, I'll eat my staff! ”

"There's no need to think about it anymore, we're already on the approved list anyway."

Following the other party's footsteps, Xue Ling Phantom Ice slowly stopped in the middle of the weeds not far behind Duan Qing: "It's just that I really didn't expect that you would be able to solve that magic mechanism so quickly." ”

"That magic trap is actually very difficult to solve."

Showing the gold coin that had been holding in his hand under the spring sun, Duan Qing, who was facing this wilderness in the distance, then showed a sinister look in his eyes: "My magic knowledge is definitely not at the top level of the Free Continent, I just used those alchemy potions of mine to forcibly destroy those magic." ”

“…… Yes? Xue Lingphantasm, who just wanted to hold his arms, widened his eyes when he heard this: "This is okay?" ”

"Since it's a puzzle from the Violet Tower, the difficulty and precision are definitely unparalleled in the wizarding world."

Thinking back to the various experiences he had seen in that tower before, Duan Qing sighed slightly: "Although it is almost impossible to crack a magic mechanism of this level, the more sophisticated the mechanism, the easier it is to lose its original balance, so I poured my fusion potion and mana burning potion in one go, and finally got this result." ”

He spread out his hand, and his eyes lingered for a moment on the purple fluorescence that gradually bloomed from the gold coin: "Look, isn't this back to the original state?" ”

"This, this is ......" Xue Ling's eyes widened a little more: "What's going on?" ”

"In order to protect this delicate mechanism from destruction, magicians usually mix these magic arrays with corresponding insurance." Duan Qing explained in a deep voice, "What you see now is one of them—the Magic Memory Technique. ”

"It's the perfect way to deal with this kind of testing that needs to be done over and over again." Speaking of this, he grinned at the corners of his mouth: "But it also gives people like me who like brute force to take advantage of the loopholes." ”

"They didn't see it?"

"Of course they can't see it."

Tossed the gold coin with purple fluorescence up and down, Duan Qing then threw it into the arms of Xue Ling Phantom Ice: "No matter how powerful that imperial prince is, he is not an expert in the magic world, if you just show them the results and fool them through......"

"No wonder you ended up asking for that gold coin."

took the gold coin, and the snowy spirit ice blowing in the wind shook off the long white hair under his hood: "Are you worried that this secret will be seen through in the end?" ”

"Most of the people who are so generous to the prince will not notice this secret."

Shaking his head, Duan Qing then sat down on a nearby rock: "I guess that Violet Lord must have given him a lot of similar gold coins, this is just one of his ones, he can't figure out the magic on it, and he probably doesn't know what to do with this thing......"

"So you brought it out?" Xue Lingphantasm walked slowly in front of Duan Qing: "In order to prevent him from accidentally discovering your tricks?" ”

"His Royal Highness is not the one most likely to discover this trick, the owner of the Violet Tower is."

Glancing in the direction where the two men had just walked behind them, Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "Don't forget what we saw in that tower...... The woman named Violet may still be satisfying her voyeurism everywhere. ”

"Be careful, that woman might be watching here right now."

"If she really has such a great ability, then it doesn't hurt for me to admit it."

Snatching back the purple gold coin from the other party's hand, Duan Qing, who was still sitting on the ground, then began his alchemy preparations again: "Okay, I'm going to officially start, if you don't have anything else......"

"Officially started?" Xue Lingphantasm Ice lowered his hands in a slightly surprised manner: "What to start?" ”

"Of course, it's to crack this magic mechanism." Placing the bottles and cans in his arms around him, Duan Qing, who was sitting in the shadow of the rock with his back to him, placed the gold coin on the alchemy table: "Do you think I will really bow my head and admit defeat in front of that Violet Lord?" If I had really thrown in the towel, I wouldn't have accepted her offer before. ”

"I finally have this opportunity to break through myself, and I want to study it carefully."

He waved his hand, no longer looking up, and then buried himself deep in the sight of bottles of colorful potions tumbling back and forth, and the aura of magic then accompanied the man's movements, and continued to diffuse along the side of the hills along the breeze that blew through the wilderness. Gently brushing her long white hair with her fingers, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who had already taken off her hood, quietly watched Duan Qing's alchemy process, until the wind of the wasteland no longer caused any ripples in the air between the two of them, she slowly collected her thoughts: "If ......"

It would be nice if such a time could last forever.

She thought to herself with some distress, and the gradual pace of departure then narrowed the distance between the two of them a little, and her calm eyes then turned around the wasteland with the snow-white sword that she had drawn again. The sharp sword made of dragon's teeth sank into the earthy ground of this wilderness as easily as ever, and as the woman stood with the sword, it was reflected around the barren wind, and her thoughts continued to drift away as she watched the movement around her, and finally involuntarily returned to the sword she had completed in the previous test.

It was the most perfect sword she had ever completed since she had recently practiced the Heart Sword - borrowing the sharpness of the dragon's teeth and the strength of her whole body, she stabbed the full force of the Imperial Imperial Guards head-on at the most perfect time, and the slash that had merged with the glorious power of the Imperial Legion and became as heavy as a mountain also successfully deviated from the trajectory that should have fallen under the breakthrough with all her might. Although she had also had the idea of death before this, she herself did not expect that she could really successfully complete the swordsmanship of stabbing and deflecting this time, and this also made her heart, which had not been settled for a long time after practicing the Heart Sword, become a little more stable.

"It's just...... If you want to practice the heart sword well, you need more than just a little understanding of swordsmanship. ”

With her hands on the end of the long hilt, she closed her eyes and slowly pulled out the dragon's teeth: "It seems that what you said makes sense, but it turns out that you are not a good teacher, strength, skill, and experience in the battle......"

"The path you chose for me is actually the most difficult one."

The humming sound of the blade cutting through the air cut through the air of the wasteland in an instant, and the body of the snow spirit phantom ice flew forward with the wind, and the woman who floated away like catkins into the distance then unfurled her long snow-white hair, and waved it around her body along with the snow-white blade. There was no terrible momentum and piercing screams, and the ordinary slashes that still did not show any strength then rushed to the surroundings of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice again and again, but the seemingly chaotic sword technique flew up in the dance like mercury, with the roots of the weeds around that had been cut off at some point.

“…… Ha! ”

She hunched her waist and lifted the tip of her sword in her left hand, then stabbed her last straight forward, along with the thrust of her right arm, towards the deserted wasteland. The silent stab then drove her body to stretch forward, and the weeds that were constantly flying around her formed a straight line, and the sword qi that seemed to be finally irrepressible then erupted along the direction pointed by the dragon's teeth with the appearance of this stabbing blow, bringing an exclamation in the depths of the wilderness in the distance: "Wow, ahhhhhhh ”

"Come out."

Still maintaining the posture of the forward stab, the woman with long white hair gradually falling then raised her eyebrows slightly: "Hmm, I remember you are ......"

"Hahahaha, what a coincidence."

A dry laugh that pretended to be stupid then sounded below the horizon at the far end of the weeds, accompanied by a figure of a heavily armored warrior who climbed up from the bottom of the hill in a slightly embarrassed way: "I just, I just wanted to come out and relax, but I didn't expect to meet two ......."

"Now it's one."

Turning around and glancing at the location of Duan Qing, who was already far away from him, Xue Lingphantom Bing stood up straight with a slightly cold face: "Since you have come out, why not be more honest?" ”

"Uh...... I'm sorry. ”

Grabbing his head, Gedmayne, who stopped a few places in front of Xue Lingxuan Bing, replied with a low chuckle: "I did happen to see the two of you, but I saw it occasionally in the city, and I just wanted to talk to the two of you along the way...... Excuse me, are you convenient to talk now? ”

"Okay, I just wanted to ask a question."

Looking at the other party's still indifferent face, the heavily armored warrior then innocently pushed his hands: "You ......"

"The quest you went to the canyon to complete earlier was the trial quest for you to form a guild, right?"
