The Poole family is one of the older families in the Frey Empire, and its long history is enough to support its participation in the central authority of the empire, but unlike those military, financial, trade, and intelligence departments, this family is not known for its strength and military merits, and is only responsible for the seemingly unimportant direction of "recording". According to Lotter's later explanation, the people who belonged to the Poole family focused on collecting and recording the history of various parts of the empire, including the imperial capital Redkar, after the establishment of the Frey Empire, and these historical records have lasted for almost a thousand years, so that the family has included every inch of the city's changes in those records.

This naturally also includes some structures and secrets about the underground of this imperial capital, which is one of the important clues that are enough to uncover the magical structure of the city that Duan Qing and they want to know, but when they follow Lotter's prompt to find the location of this Poole family, they are greeted only by the empty door and the scene of no one inside.

"What, how to fat four? Was it looted by robbers? ”

"How can a place like the imperial capital come in with robbers, at first glance, it is encountering other crises."

"There will naturally be robbers in the imperial capital, such as other nobles who want to be disadvantageous to the Poole family or small people who want to take advantage of the fire."

Following in the footsteps of Duan Qing and the others who broke into the empty door of this family, Lot Gloria, who was carrying a giant sword, then also included this small family inner courtyard located in the atrium area of the imperial capital into his field of vision, his eyes roamed the mess all over the ground for a long time, and finally picked up a half-cut emblem at his feet: "The Canarik family—although only half of it is kept, I can still recognize this red shield symbol." ”

"How's this family's reputation?" Duan Qing, who stepped forward, asked in a deep voice, "Is it possible that they are the potential enemies of this Poole family?" ”

"I've been away from the imperial capital for a long time, but I haven't heard of anything despicable that this family has ever done."

Raising his chin, Lot, who frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "And even if they want to take advantage of the fire to rob, this kind of Poole family who makes a living from records doesn't seem to have much wealth." ”

"Time is limited, so it was just a cursory check." At some point, the Thousand-Fingered Crane holding the Red Lotus Staff reported his discovery in a slightly deep voice: "It seems that the contents have really been removed, and there is not much useful record left." ”

"Is there really someone who chooses to deal with them at this time?" Pursing his mouth, Duan Qing, who was a little incredulous, then fell on the half-half emblem in Lot's hand: "Could it really be that this Canaryk family did it?" ”

“…… No. ”

An indifferent voice then sounded in his ears, and at the same time, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who suddenly reached out to take the broken emblem, stared at the cross-sectional eyes: "The insignia of the Canarik family is made of fine iron, but the incision is so neat—"

"With the scholarly style of the Poole family and the strength of the powerless family, have any of you heard of any of them having the ability to cut this sword?"

"Hmm-"

A dull sound of thought then sounded between the figures gathered around, and then there were doubts one after another: "When you say that, it seems that it is indeed very suspicious." ”

"And the scratches on the walls of the house...... The depth of the sword marks is almost the same, and the direction is irregular, so if these marks were formed after battle, it would be impossible to look at them. ”

"Someone must have deliberately forged these scratches without any pressure, and this emblem in front of us ......"

"It seems that someone has robbed the entire Poole family, and by the way, they want to blame the Canaryk family."

The eyes that looked at each other finally converged again, and several figures gathered together said such an answer in unison, and the figure belonging to Duan Qing then also turned to the outside of the gate behind him, and quickly checked the empty street with a sharp gaze: "Damn, it seems that I haven't seen any 'related people'...... Are we late? ”

"It should have been over a long time ago." Xue Ling's gaze turned to the night sky where the energy qi pillar was not far away: "The Poole family holds the leylines and magic structure of the imperial capital, and this information is very helpful for the changes that are happening in the imperial capital now, and those who are carrying out any plans and conspiracies in the central city are likely to be the murderers who robbed the Poole family." ”

"We found this place in the first place to deal with this group of potential enemies, but we were preempted by someone." Lot, who was carrying a big sword, also shook his head: "Without strength, it will be difficult to move an inch in the empire - sure enough, this sentence has been fulfilled." ”

"Wait a minute, it's like the Poole family has been pulled into this incident." Duan Qing hurriedly shook his arms: "We can't be sure of this yet, and we don't know where this group of guys who don't have much strength have gone now......"

"Are you going to keep tracking? At this critical moment, continue to look for the person from the Poole family? The voice said this coldly, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who turned his head sideways, looked at Duan Qing's face with a squinting gaze: "How to find it?" To find the head of the Canaryk family? ”

"Well, maybe it's another way to go to that family, such as asking that family if they have enemies who hate them to the core, and even use such methods to frame and blame them......

"You're wasting your time!"

It was like a volcano that had been silent for a long time had finally begun to erupt, Xue Lingphantom Ice reached out and grabbed the placket of the gray-robed magician, and the expression that almost wanted to breathe fire was then forcibly suppressed by her with a cold look, and the words spoken again became as if they were squeezed out of between her white teeth: "The crisis is imminent!" Those guys who don't know what they're doing might be able to succeed in the next moment! Aren't you going to stop them, but continue to take us around in circles to other places? ”

"Do you want to help me kill him?" She pulled Duan Qing's still expressionless face in the direction where she was again, and her gaze full of anxiety and uneasiness also met the man's eyes tightly: "How long do you want to escape?" ”

"Well, I don't want to go up against that guy either." The eyes of each other turned to the side slightly, and Duan Qing, who sighed, spread his hands: "Let's not discuss the extremely unfavorable combat conditions for us, such as the enemy's darkness and our knowledge, lack of intelligence, etc., do we really have a reason to be tough with Freedom Wings and others?" Even if Redkar is really destroyed, it doesn't have much to do with us......"

"So you're going to give up."

The loss in his eyes became a little thicker, and he gradually let go of the other party's Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and staggered back two steps slightly: "You didn't plan to help me from the beginning, did you?" ”

"Hey, I didn't mean that, I-"

Shaking his head to avoid Duan Qing's hand that wanted to hold his shoulder, the snow spirit phantom ice who retreated back again pulled the distance between himself and the gray-robed figure a little further, and the eyes that had been looking at each other seemed to have a bit of crystal color, but it was soon hidden in her bowing head: "I can tell you everything I have, I can give everything for you without asking for anything in return, there is only this request left in my life now, my prayer...... I just want you to give me a little support. ”

"But now it seems that you won't even say anything against it." She turned around: "Is it so difficult to do these four words of honesty?" Is it really a luxury to want a sincere response from you? ”

“……”

It seemed that he couldn't refute the other party's sudden words, Duan Qing didn't answer the white-haired woman's question for the first time, and his hesitant reaction also made the woman's clenched fists a little harder, and the back of the originally white hand became even paler because of the force of the fingers: "I think I am a rational woman, and I will not force you to force anything for the mistakes I have committed, since asking for your help has become a luxury, then you can stay here." ”

"I'll do it myself."

Her white hair began to flutter in the air, and her back gradually disappeared into the end of the street in the direction where the energy qi pillar was located, and Duan Qing, who wanted to stop it, then heard Lot's words in his ears, accompanied by his mysterious smile that seemed to have seen through everything: "Quarreled? This does not bode well. ”

"If you really have something to keep hiding from her, I'd advise you to tell her quickly." He withdrew his arm and looked in the same direction: "If the suspicion between each other turns into a barrier, then it is not a problem that ordinary words can solve." ”

"It's not what you think." So Duan Qing could only show a wry smile: "Don't guess." ”

"Oh? Could it be that you haven't confessed to the other person yet? ”

Looking at Duan Qing's then tangled expression, Lott, who burst out laughing, crossed the other party's shoulder: "Although it is not convenient for me to intervene in the affairs between you young people, if you want to further develop the relationship, you need not only courage and decisiveness, but also persistence." ”

"Just like the beliefs I had to hold onto." The big sword he carried gradually moved away in front of Duan Qing, and his burly figure gradually disappeared into the depths of the street in the same direction: "As a member of the imperial aristocracy, it is impossible for me to retreat in the face of this scene. ”

"Hey, hey!"

There were a few meaningless calls, and the helpless voice belonging to Duan Qing then echoed around the streets and alleys that were empty again with his pouting movements, and he stood alone in front of the Poole family with a lost face, but his frowning brows became deeper and deeper as he muttered to himself: "I originally thought that you went offline to rest because of the recurrence of the old disease, and I wanted to stop you from asking for hardship, but I still tripped and fell on myself...... Never mind. ”

"Since you are so persistent, let's continue to make trouble with you." He sharpened his teeth, then turned around and shouted around him, "Violet, things are getting a little more troublesome, but please please—"

"Violet, Violet?"

The continuous calls did not get any response, Duan Qing's gradually alert gaze began to circulate through his left and right, and the sound of the wind brought by the energy qi pillar from afar then turned into a deafening humming sound under the influence of a certain possibility hitting his heart, constantly shaking his already unable to calm down - because of the relationship between going to the Gloria family, this purple-haired woman who was inconvenient to appear in front of the public was once again hidden in the effect of refractive light magic with Duan Qing's orders, The figure that had been following them incognitoly disappeared behind them after this series of events.

“…… Lost? At this time? ”

The symptoms of the headache seemed to have become more serious with the occurrence of this sudden situation, and Duan Qing pressed his head heavily: "Sure enough, the more busy you are, the easier it is to have problems...... When this time is over, I must find a place to rest. ”

"Hey, you." The voice of the call then came from the front, and it was the voice of the figure who inadvertently followed the departing Thousand-Fingered Crane and returned: "They have all gone far away, you, don't you really follow up?" ”

“…… The safety of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice is in your hands, Xiao Qian. ”

Duan Qing, who stood in place and was silent for a while, finally shook his head and said an answer that surprised the red-haired girl: "Help me take care of her, her current mental condition may not be very good, if you accidentally meet that Liangchen Meiyu of the Wings of Freedom, you will try your best to cover her out of the battlefield, if you can not love war, you will not love war......"

"Wait, wait! Everyone has said that this is the point, and you are still - where are you going? Feed! ”

The more and more surprised inquiry was then thrown out of his body, Duan Qing, who did not follow forward, turned around and ran back in the direction where several people came, forcibly suppressed the consciousness of the chaotic mood, and then began to patrol every corner of the street, and his face began to become more and more serious: "So, ladies, this is why I am not willing to make promises easily." ”

"If you have to force me to make a choice, the promises I've made and the inexplicable nonsense - I'm definitely going to take this side."

The running footsteps stopped abruptly, and the gray-robed man who had passed through countless alleys suddenly pulled his body back to the front of a certain street, and then his eyes also fell on the three or two men in black who were shouting something at the end of the street, and a certain black cloth bag that they were dragging in their hands.

"Hey! Stop, guys! ”8)
