As if the clouds that had appeared over the steppe during the day had been extended into the night, the sky of Fars Fortress was now devoid of the intoxicating starry scene of the past, and the dark clouds obscured the dull night even deeper, accompanied by the cold night wind that whistled from time to time. Standing alone in the center of this night wind, the thousand-fingered crane located in a clearing at the corner of the fortress wall also quietly closed his eyes at this time, and the white robe fluttering in the wind became less obvious in the dark night, only the red hair with a trace of sparks was still faintly shining with a recognizable appearance: "Who are you?" ”

“……”

There was no answer, no movement, and the darkness around the clearing seemed to be silent like an abyss. Without the slightest movement due to this result, the red-haired girl, who still had her eyes closed, slowly raised her staff, and the gradually lit tip then illuminated the gorgeous staff body into the dark night, shining dazzlingly in the corner of the fortress that was still empty: "Don't answer, do you?" If you don't answer, then don't blame me for being rude—"

"What are you doing?"

As if he didn't understand the situation at all, Duan Qing, who approached him, then let out his voice in a little surprise, and then the abrupt question also echoed in the corner of this clearing, swirling back and forth beside the thousand-fingered crane that looked unmistakable with Xue Ling's puzzled eyes: "Is this some kind of special training method?" Or—"

"Be careful!"

Suddenly opened her eyes, and a little panic flashed in the eyes of the thousand-fingered crane, who had already taken a fighting posture, and the flame particles that were constantly appearing around her were like a red galaxy that gathered into a stream, extending forward frantically with the forward stretch of the red lotus staff: "They came out!" ”

Clang!

A loud metal crash then resounded in the dark corner, it was the sound of the snow spirit phantom ice long sword and another long sword that appeared in the depths of the darkness slammed together, and she was in front of Duan Qing for a moment, and then twisted forward forcefully, and flew into the distance with the torrent of flames that flew out: "Don't think!" ”

Let out a strange smile, the black shadow of the attack then turned and retreated in the direction from which it came with the pitch-black long sword, and the light of the flame that passed by it did not accidentally injure the white-haired female swordsman in front of him as he imagined, but reflected a dazzling trajectory as if it were spiritual. Surprised eyes then appeared in each other's eyes, and the snow spirit phantom ice who was holding up the long sword and just wanted to resist this flame streamer then also watched the red spirit snake devour the body of the black shadow at a faster speed than just now, and then the piercing whistling sound covered the black shadow, and then let out a terrible scream, attacking in the direction of Duan Qing with a more secret and pitch-black sword light: "It's sword qi!" They are more than one person! ”

Twisting his body vigorously, the snow spirit phantom ice wielding the long sword then blocked the attacking jet-black sword qi into the sky above him, and then the scalp-numbing snort then cut through the wall of another fortress behind them, and smashed down in the direction of Duan Qing with a large cloud of falling rubble. Rushing forward vigorously, he hid in the arms of the gray-robed magician in front of him with the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, and then flashed a dazzling light again, and the spiral flame impact then burst towards the dusty corner with an explosive attitude, forcing the other black figure that suddenly hit back beyond the range where he and the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice rolled away: "The third!" They definitely have more! ”

"Why are there so many enemies? Are the guards of the principality all scrap? ”

"At least the strength of the top players, my tricks rarely don't last long...... Rush out first, and call people over. ”

"Do you think the people around you won't be able to hear such a big movement? We- Huh? ”

The roaring cracking sound then appeared in a corner of this fortress with another cold cry from the Thousand Fingered Crane, occupying most of the area here with a huge flame pillar like a red lotus, as if it was about to swallow up all the pitch black, and then slowly approached the direction where the previous pitch-black sword qi flew with an unapproachable high temperature, enveloping all corners, including the top of the city wall, without missing anything. Like an angry flame goddess, the wide-eyed Thousand-Fingered Crane just held her staff and stared at every corner illuminated by this pillar of fire, and the long red hair floating behind her continued to extend around like a flame of whiskers, and finally circled towards the corner of the city wall with another flame serpent that gathered again: "Don't run! ”

In the chaotic scene of several black shadows flickering alternately, this flame spirit snake then exploded at the top of the city wall like fireworks, and the red sparks then replaced the stars that should have been dotted in the night sky, but a figure was not reflected: "But, damn it, you actually used this way to disturb my target......

"That's when you can see the advantages of automatic operation." Duan Qing's voice then sounded from behind her: "If you gave up the manual operation just now, that flame magic might still be able to hit one." ”

"The snake flame originally needs to be operated manually, otherwise it will easily cause accidental injury." Thousand-fingered Crane turned his head a little dissatisfied: "It's like just now—ah." ”

Her expression froze for a moment, and then she hurriedly ran to the two figures who fell to the ground: "You...... Are you alright? Are there any injuries? ”

"It's okay."

Waving his hand, Duan Qing then turned over his body with the help of Xue Ling's phantom ice: "Isn't it a big deal to die once, and if you die, everything will be healthy." ”

"N-yes! You're still level zero. The Snow Spirit Phantom Ice on the side then warned in a low voice: "In case something happens that causes you to fall off again...... Hey? Isn't that right? ”

"Even if we haven't gone out to kill monsters, you should have done a lot of tasks." She looked Duan Qing's face up and down, and a hint of worry gradually appeared in her eyes: "Even if you only have mission reward experience, you should have upgraded a long time ago, why now-"

"Let's not discuss my question yet."

Secretly pointing to the figure of a large number of soldiers who were gradually gathering in the distance, Duan Qing, who shook his head, then turned his gaze to the direction where the Thousand Fingered Crane was: "What happened to the attack just now, who are they?" ”

"I still want to know about that!" As if remembering the scene that had just happened, the red-haired girl with a constantly changing expression finally raised her mouth: "I just went back to rest later, and suddenly I ran into such a group of people, and they also wanted to lock me with space magic, and then I broke the ...... in time."

"So, they're from over there, too?" Glancing at Xue Ling Phantom Ice again, Duan Qing asked with understanding, "Is it the Restorer?" Or is it the mysterious force behind them? ”

"Are you referring to the Alliance of Destiny?" Saying the name bluntly, Thousand Fingered Crane then shook his head hesitantly: "I don't seem to feel any breath of fate from them, they just use ordinary attacks, although they don't speak one by one, but their faces look familiar...... That's right! ”

"At least one of them is a player!" As if he had just discovered this fact, Thousand-Fingered Crane's eyes suddenly brightened: "Just now when I lit up the battlefield with a pillar of fire, trying to find their location...... That guy has a name on his head! He should-"

"You guys!"

A loud shout then rang in the ears of several people, accompanied by the action of the Duchy soldiers who had finally arrived in front of the three of them raising their swords and shouting at them, and then the vigilant expression was also relieved after a period of panic, along with the rest of the soldiers around who also occupied the area: "It turned out to be Lord Thousand Fingers and the two distinguished guests of the Empire...... Are you competing here? ”

"We were all attacked!" Looking at Duan Qing, who had made a silencing gesture to her, the Thousand Fingered Crane then also put on the cold posture that he had always shown to the outside world: "Your principality is really too derelict in its responsibilities, even such a place will be infiltrated by the enemy?" Is this still the fortress of the once-proud Duchy of Elnifia? Call your Marshal Dusk! ”

"It's really good." After making a gesture and quietly retreating towards the back of the crowd, Duan Qing, who had left this place with the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, then looked up at the front: "Okay, this place will be handed over to her to deal with." ”

"We'll talk about the identities of those attackers."

He looked at the purple-haired woman who appeared in front of them and waited in place to greet them, and said with a gloomy face.

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

As the sole agent of the Mage Council left here, the identity of the Thousand Finger Crane is also unquestionable, but because of the same reason, this young and powerful young and powerful girl magician has never stopped since he came to the fortress. In the spirit of taking responsibility for the declaration he made when he entered the fortress, this girl magician represented by the red-haired and the red lotus staff has also been going back and forth between the several major forces living in the fortress, so when the news of the attack on the girl known as the "Adjudicator" came out, the shock caused was also very huge.

Of course, as a player who has been mediating and maintaining order, she doesn't seem to have any similar consciousness when she sneaks out at a certain opportunity.

"They caught me and asked for a long time."

The light of dawn gradually appeared to the east of the fortress, but it still did not gradually dispel the dark clouds that spread all over the sky, and the Thousand Fingered Crane, who dragged into the barracks with heavy steps, also showed a tired look at this time, and listlessly hung his body on the chair closest to the door: "It's just torture." ”

"They shouldn't dare bully you, Lord Adjudicator." It seemed that he had already woken up from his rest, and Duan Qing, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, reached out and took the wet towel handed over by a certain maid: "At most, I am acting as an amnesiac person, and by the way, I can excuse such a big omission in my fortress and something......

"You're right, they're so annoying!" Flailing his fist vigorously, Milliknuckle then rested his head on the back of the wooden chair again, "They said they wanted to ask for details about the attack, but they said it was to convince me that they had done everything they could...... Hum. ”

"Isn't it just pushing the pot? I've seen a lot of this happen. Xue Ling, who had also woken up on the side, said in a cold voice: "After all, we are now in a critical period between the empire and the principality, and they don't dare to bear such a great responsibility." ”

"Since you seem so tired, let's make a long story short."

Signaling to Ning Lan, who had gone online at some point, Duan Qing then pointed to the door where the red-haired girl was: "Have you seen that person's ID clearly?" ”

"Hmm...... It seems that there is a loss word? Lifting his spirits vigorously, Thousand-Fingered Crane's brows furrowed tightly: "The situation at that time was changing rapidly, and my dynamic vision was not very good...... Feed! Didn't you fight that person once? Don't you see it clearly? ”

“…… No. ”

At the moment when he understood what the other party was referring to, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was pointed at by the red-haired girl, shook his head slowly: "And even if I see it clearly, it is very difficult to confirm the identity of the other party in this situation now." ”

"Ah, you don't know about impersonation, do you?" Looking at the puzzled expression that Thousand Finger Crane then revealed, Duan Qing then replied with a smile: "Someone is swaggering around with other people's names and costumes, just like the one we have experienced in this fortress, and this attack on you last night may also be an attempt by them to stir up strife again." ”

"To put it simply, even if we could figure out the ID you saw, we probably wouldn't be able to find the killer based on that name." He looked at the Thousand Fingered Crane's still slightly confused face, and then sighed helplessly: "But this is also a good thing, at least we understand that the Red Lotus Girl is not pretending." ”

"It's not easy for people with high strength to pretend." Pointing to the girl's face, Xue Lingphantom Ice then analyzed in a low voice: "A character like her, whose colors and magic are extremely vivid, most of them can't even find a matching candidate. ”

"Ordinary people who are not well-known are good choices, and they are indeed more suitable for mixing in the territory of both sides." Ignoring the confused look of the thousand-fingered crane pointing at the tip of his nose, Duan Qing crossed his arms and lowered his head: "But this is more or less a clue, and you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor...... Ninglan. ”

"Go and inform the Cangyun Barrier and ask him to help ask - how many people in our team have the word 'loss' in their names."
