"Uh-huh—"

With a painful groan, the woman named Snow Spirit Phantom Ice slowly opened her eyes, and the whirlwind and endless prairie that had been left in her impression at the last moment did not appear in front of her as she imagined, but instead were shrouded in the tent curtain and the dim wick flickering with firelight: "...... Well? ”

"That's not right."

An alert look flashed in front of her, and the white-haired woman suddenly stood up slowly from her lying position, her shaking gaze quickly condensed in the flickering and flickering lights in front of her, and swept over the scene that seemed a little chaotic: "This is ......"

"Rest assured, we've been picked up."

A low and weak voice then sounded in her ears, and the white-haired woman who heard this voice was inexplicably relieved, and the originally nervous heartstrings and tightly knit brows were also relieved a little by Duan Qing who appeared in the corner on one side: "To be precise, it was 'explained' that we were picked up." ”

"Explain?" Blinking his eyelids, Xue Ling's phantom ice's gaze also fell on the position where the gray-robed magician's figure was: "What do you mean?" What the hell is going on—"

She didn't say anything, and her eyes stayed on Duan Qing's body covered with a white velvet quilt, and the very keen observation and perception that belonged to Xue Lingphantom Ice were also reminding her unreservedly at this time, the body of the magician in front of her seemed to have gotten rid of the injuries and disabilities accumulated from the long battle: "You, your injuries-"

"Alright, it's all right." Innocently spread his hands in front of the other party, Duan Qing's body lying in front of the bed also put on a relaxed appearance at this time: "If it weren't for the sake of making a show for those people outside, I might have rushed out to make a fuss by now." ”

"That is to say-" Lowering his head and checking his body, the doubt in Xue Ling's Phantom Ice's eyes became even thicker with the same result: "Wait a minute, isn't this right, obviously being sent to the sky so high by that energy fountain, how did we survive?" ”

"With the underground part, we flew at least a few thousand meters high...... Heh, it's impossible to survive in this situation, even if the gods come. Putting away the relaxed look on his face, Duan Qing's smile revealed by the upturned corners of his mouth finally slowly disappeared: "So the answer is simply easy." ”

"We've already died once."

Tapping his body, Duan Qing's gaze also matched Xue Ling's still somewhat sluggish expression: "After the player dies normally, it will be refreshed to the resurrection point - that is, in the tent where we camped before, and after death, the physical state of rebirth will be refreshed, returning to the original standard state, including serious injuries, broken hands and feet, disease, curses, loss of weapons and equipment, etc., ......etc."

"I said that there was such a way, what are we still doing desperately down there!" The expected scream then rose from the snow spirit ice body in front of her, and at the same time rose from the white-haired woman's expression of gritted teeth: "Those potential viruses have also disappeared, right?" We don't have to worry about those unwarranted threats, do we? ”

"I thought you were very serious about winning or losing." Tilting his head and shaking his head, Duan Qing's deliberate smile slowly disappeared as the other party stared at him: "And this also represents our complete farewell to that ruin...... Really, I have a lot of questions I want to confirm with that Kyle II. ”

"You all know what you should know, and you don't know most of what you shouldn't know." So Xue Lingphantasm said angrily: "What else do you have to regret?" ”

"Well, at least the crisis has been successfully passed."

A look of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and Duan Qing, who didn't know what he was thinking, then also landed his somewhat confused gaze above his head: "Now that I look back and think about it, this underground expedition is really magical enough." ”

"We didn't get anything but a bunch of weird settings and shady stories." Pulling the white quilt that was also covering his body, Xue Lingphantom Bing replied angrily: "I haven't even encountered the slightest clue about the person I want to find, and this adventure is simply a failure of failures." ”

"How is it possible, the information we get doesn't matter?" Duan Qing, who turned his head, blinked his eyes slightly: "As for the material rewards...... Not for nothing. ”

"The magic wand I picked up near the last energy control center, I'm still putting it away."

【Elemental Heart Staff (Epic)】

[Weapon Power: Normal]

[Equipment Requirements: Strength 5, Intelligence 30, Spirit 10]

[Intelligence +3, Spirit +1]

[Equipment Effect: Elemental Reaction, an unknown reaction method is stored in the body of this staff, and produces the desired effect according to the user's casting method.] Each time two different kinds of elemental spells are cast, the effect changes differently. 】

[Equipment Skill: Elemental Stand, choose a magic element, create a field composed of this element at the target location, and deal 10% damage of the character's elemental attribute to all hostile targets within the range, lasting for 8 seconds.] Cooldown: 24 seconds. 】

[A magic wand made by unknown magic in the ancient adventure era using a special method, and the structure and interior and exterior decoration of the staff also use completely different techniques from modern magic, but with the passage of time, the appearance of the staff has completely lost the splendor and splendor of the ancient adventure era. 】

[The magic and elements of the ancient adventure era seem to be more abundant than the modern free continent, and many magical creations and magic appliances also use ways that ordinary people can't imagine. 】

“…… Hey, I didn't expect to be taken advantage of by you again. ”

His gaze lingered for a moment on the surface of the pitch-black staff that appeared in front of him, and Xue Lingbing involuntarily exhaled, "You don't have a weapon until now, do you?" Except for the magic disc that can be stuffed with anything. ”

"So I've never been like a standard magician." The staff in his hand kept spinning back and forth, and Duan Qing's face also put on a satisfied smile: "Although the people on the Wind Continent don't even know the profession of magician, I still care very much, and I am very satisfied with the opportunity to get a weapon used by an ancient magician." ”

"This effect seems a little ambiguous, what is an elemental reaction?" Glaring at his eyes, Xue Lingphantom Ice continued to ask with a strange expression: "The system hasn't even explained the different elemental effects, I guess it's definitely not a good thing." ”

"I have some guesses in my mind, after all, I'm one of the hodgepodge mages that many basic magic systems use." Putting away the action of playing the magic staff, Duan Qing's slightly excited voice became low again: "Most opinions in the professional world and the general public believe that the cultivation of magic is to specialize in one or two elements will be stronger, and the cultivation and use of the hodgepodge are almost inferior, but now I have such an opportunity, I can study it well along this road." ”

"Anyway, as an alchemist at the same time, I am a person who can dabble in any element." Pouting his mouth, Duan Qing's unfolded hand also condensed a small flame: "After this period of adventurous tempering, my strength seems to have changed and improved more." ”

"Wait a minute." As if he had just thought of some kind of question, Xue Ling's phantom ice's face suddenly turned pale: "You, your strength...... No, it's your life force! Have you ever dropped a rank since you died? ”

"It's definitely going to fall, and that's the price I have to pay." After being slightly silent for a while, Duan Qing, who shook his head, replied nonchalantly: "It's okay, as long as it's not a big accident, my existing character experience won't be cleared again, so-"

Hula.

The flying futon and white hair fluttered in the air, and the figure belonging to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also moved to Duan Qing's side in an instant, she checked Duan Qing's body up and down for a long time, and only stopped her fumbling movements when the old face from the other party began to turn red: "Really, is there really no problem?" I, I'm afraid of you-"

"No problem, we haven't seen any big scenes." Patting his chest, Duan Qing's gaze softened a little with the appearance of the woman in front of him lying on his chest rising and falling violently: "Death in the free world is not something that can be easily avoided, and dying once proves the effect, it can be regarded as a reassuring pill for you." ”

"That, that's not going to work, God knows if there will be any more powerful enemies and even stranger scenarios in the future." The fists were clenched in front of the other party's chest, and the dull and hoarse voice belonging to the snow spirit phantom ice also sounded in Duan Qing's ears: "In case there is really a situation where the experience points are lost......"

"Then I can only ask you to save me again."

"I don't want it, if it weren't for that coincidence...... I won't have that good chance to save you again anyway! You have to protect yourself! ”

“……”

"By the way, when will this state of yours end? Are you still unable to get in touch with your real body? ”

Trying to retract the flash in his eyes, Xue Lingphantom Ice raised his head and looked at Duan Qing's face who was close at hand: "When will you really go offline?" ”

"I don't know." Gently patting the other party's back, Duan Qing's soft face gradually became confused: "If they don't take the initiative to contact me, I have no way of knowing the situation and progress of the outside world, the only thing I can do now is to work hard in my own direction and pace, and enjoy the adventures brought by this world...... Hey, listen to what you're talking about, are you still expecting me to get off the line? ”

"Even if you don't consider the danger outside, how do you see me after I leave offline?"

As he said this, he pressed his outstretched finger on the tip of Xue Ling's phantom ice's fluttering nose, and the ambiguous action also caused a great backlash from the latter, and the look of shame and indignation disappeared into the rapid turning action: "Who, who wants to see this old face of yours!" Hurry up and take me offline and disappear! ”

"I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about it." So Duan Qing had no choice but to spread his hands helplessly: "Change your wish, maybe I can find a way to help you realize it." ”

"Hmph, then it's better to let you die." Rubbing his cheeks indiscriminately, Xue Lingxuan, who had his back to Duan Qing, snorted coldly and replied, "I don't know what it was for working so hard when I was down there, to give me back so much effort I have put in—huh?" ”

"Where's Shiayun?"

It seemed that another question suddenly came to mind, and Xue Lingphantom Bing's slightly sobbing voice suddenly paused for a moment: "How is that guy?" Did he come out alive with us? ”

"That great fountain of energy at the end has sent all of us out, including the half-dead fellow, of course." He also glared at his own eyes, and the voice belonging to Duan Qing also echoed in Xue Ling's ears: "As for his own life, he should have survived, but I used the only gravity reduction magic on his body, and I won't be pitifully thrown to death like us......

"What about the others?" Blinking his eyes slightly, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who approached again, continued to ask: "Is there anything on his body, is there any ......?"

"I don't know about that, because we haven't seen his person, or body, yet." Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders senselessly: "The people of the Su tribe and the Wabu tribe have already joined forces to go out to search, so they should tell us the results as soon as possible." ”

"Wab?"

It seemed that he felt even more strange about the name that appeared at this time, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was stunned for a moment, asked again, and his voice became a little lowered: "Why are they still involved in this matter?" They're not—"

"That's right, they're all the way to the Nasu now." A wry smile appeared in Duan Qing's voice who answered: "Although the relationship between this may be very complicated, even I haven't figured it out now." ”

"Huh?"

"That's right, during the time we've been gone, the relationship between the Nasu and Wab has become a bit ...... Subtle. ”

Closing the side of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, Duan Qing's gaze fell on the surroundings of this dim space: "Actually-"

"We're in the middle of a Wab colony."
