1230 Hostile oppression

The Principality's Adventurer's Hall is not as quaint and elegant as the Adventurer's Guild in the Imperial Capital Redkar, but still maintains the appearance of a tavern like an ordinary house, but perhaps because of the rain, the crowd of players at this time is still lively as if it were a rally. The bustling crowd was constantly walking on the blackboard with the tasks entrusted by the Adventurers' Association, and from time to time there would be the phenomenon of taking away the tasks one after another and quarreling with each other because of the ownership of the tasks, and the surprised shouts that belonged to the small duo of Duan Qing naturally seemed insignificant in such an atmosphere: "What's the matter? Why was the Fool Adventure Group removed? ”

"From what we've got, they've been moving out of this place for a long time." The receptionist on the other side of the counter replied in a sweet voice, "Plus that later incident...... His Excellency Feliston later removed them. ”

"Was it Ferrystone's decision?" The look of surprise in Duan Qing's eyes became even greater: "Aren't they on good terms?" How could such a decision be made suddenly? ”

"The specific situation, we staff are not very clear." The receptionist's smile was like a flower at the door of the store hall: "If you don't mind, you can go somewhere else and ask a little." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

As if sensing something unusual from the other party's smile, Duan Qing forcibly restrained his urge to get angry, he and the secret whisper Ning Lan beside him glanced at each other, and the next moment he wanted to leave was stopped by the question that suddenly appeared in front of him: "Excuse meβ€”β€”"

"I don't know if this question is appropriate, but ......" Stopping Duan Qing's footsteps, the female receptionist, who was still smiling, asked with a smile, "Do you know that Fool Adventure Group?" ”

"Well, I don't know." Pointing to the top of his head, Duan Qing's voice then became softer: "We are Imperial people who have just arrived here, and we don't know much about this place in Tania. ”

"Really? I've never heard of an Imperialist who wants to find the Fool Adventure Party when I'm here. The receptionist smiled and covered his mouth, "Although they were once heroes against the Empire, and we Tanians are the ones we all admire, but nowβ€”"

"I hope you don't have anything to do with that group of people anymore."

She said this, and at the same time pointed to a certain sign in a certain direction next to the counter of the association, large and small wanted notices were also pasted on every corner of that notice board at this time, accompanied by the eyes of countless players who were vying to check there, including the name that Duan Qing had been looking for: "...... Fool Adventure Party? On the wanted list? What's going on? ”

"No need to look for it, their specific charges are not written on the wanted notice."

An indifferent middle-aged voice then appeared in Duan Qing's ears, accompanied by a tall and thin figure of a middle-aged man dressed as a nobleman slowly walking from behind the counter: "I thought Talise hurriedly ran over to tell me which wanted criminal, but it turned out to be just an Imperial person...... Hello. ”

"I'm Felistone, the head of this Adventurer's Guild." The tall and thin man walked to the back of the counter, and the top hat he took off came to his chest with the gesture of saluting: "Our receptionist, Miss Talise, may have offended, I hope your Excellency will forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, she didn't say anything wrong anyway." Hurriedly waved his hand, and Duan Qing then also landed his undisguised gaze in the direction where the notice board was: "But...... Ah, this doesn't seem like weβ€”it's not the first time the Fool Adventure Group has been wanted. ”

"This time it's different." Redoning his top hat, Ferrystone hid his gaze in the shadow of the brim: "The mistakes made by fools are well known, and no one can forgive them. ”

"Oh?" So Duan Qing shifted his gaze back: "What kind of mistake is that?" ”

"This is not a question that you Imperial people should be concerned about."

Shaking his head slightly, Felistone's gaze then roamed back and forth around Duan Qing for a while: "Although I don't know your name, you should also be an adventurer, right?" If you would like to receive a mission, on behalf of the Adventurers Association of the Principality of Elnefia, I would like to welcome you. ”

"That means we're not welcome to do things that don't fall under the category of adventurers, do we?" Duan Qing smiled bitterly and touched his nose: "Don't be so harsh, okay?" I was just...... Well, I just have some friendship with this party here, so I just want to meet up a little bit. ”

"I see." Glancing at Duan Qing's face lightly, Felistone then retracted his gaze again: "Since Your Excellency has nothing to do with the Fool Adventure Group, then Your Excellency can leave now, I hope Your Excellency can be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and try not to have anything to do with that Adventure Group." ”

"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences." He lowered his top hat and said in a low voice, "Please go back." ”

"Thank you for the reminder."

Looking at the other party and nodding, Duan Qing, who stood up, then left his seat with the secret whisper Ning Lan: "Then I will leave." ”

"Wait a minute." Felistone's voice then sounded behind Duan Qing: "Please allow me to be rude, but I still have two questions. ”

"What's your name, please?"

"The water is cut off from the abyss."

Slowly turning his head against the background of countless players constantly walking back and forth, Duan Qing showed his smile to the other side of the counter: "My name is Lin Yuan Shushui, and I am an adventurer from Carlo Village in the Santerus Province of the Frei Empire. ”

"It's an honor to meet you." Still maintaining a polite appearance, Felistone's hidden gaze then shifted to Duan Qing's side: "What about this young lady?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ninglan. The maid who was looking at the other party replied with a smile: "Secret Ning Lan." ”

"What an impressive name." Felistone, who was holding his top hat, sighed deeply: "It's the same as that Whispering Ning Lan in the Fool Adventure Party." ”

"Well, I guess I recognized the wrong person." Duan Qing, who was still smiling, shook his head: "We set off from Redkar together, and then came here after a long journey together, she shouldn't be someone you know, it's just a coincidence." ”

"I hope so." Replying in a low voice, Felistone then turned and walked slowly towards the back of the counter, "If there's a chance laterβ€”"

"We must have had a good conversation."

Looking at the figure of the other party who disappeared at the corner of the side door behind the counter, Duan Qing, who had put away his gaze, immediately walked in the direction of the gate of the Adventurer Association, avoiding the faces of countless players who also put away his smile at this time, and then changed into a worried look: "It seems that something really happened, even Mengzhu and they have suffered, and they originally wanted to start from this biggest self-body, but in the end, they almost turned into a headless fly that threw themselves into the net......"

"Looks like I'm almost causing you trouble again, sir." Ning Lan also shook her head: "Although Ning Lan has been away from here for a long time, I didn't expect that the president of the association to have such a deep impression of Ning Lan. ”

"Beautiful and maverick maid, you are indeed the only one in the original Taniari." Duan Qing turned his head to look at Ning Lan's face, "If you show your strength again, they may be able to confirm it more accurately." ”

"Ning Lan just thought that Mr. was praising Ning Lan." So Ning Lan snickered twice: "You don't need to be reminded, sir, Ning Lan will also recover her strength as soon as possible." ”

"There's no need to worry about this, anyway, we're in the heart of the enemy now."

Looking at the door of the association hall and the sky outside where the rain was still dripping, Duan Qing said in a low voice: "This road is not passable, then we will take another way." ”

"And where is the gentleman going to investigate next?"

"Jianghu Headquarters." Duan Qing said the name in a low voice: "Also as players, they should be the second guild force that knows the inside story best, although compared to the fools, our friendship with them is also a heavenly and an underground, but as long as they are willing to talk about it-"

"Both."

A deep voice then sounded in Duan Qing's ears, and Duan Qing's words were abruptly interrupted, and a person wearing the armor of a Duchy soldier then appeared in front of Duan Qing's side in the rain, and then walked in front of them with an expressionless face: "The two are distinguished guests from the Empire, right?" ”

"Our family has a please."

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

Walking rampantly under the rain-soaked bluestone road, Duan Qing, who was sitting in the carriage, heard all the sounds made when the wheels of the carriage and the ground kept colliding and rolling, he was not in the mood to experience the antiquity and magic of this city bathed in heavy rain and light curtains, and the eyes revealed between the curtains of the door had been constantly observing the left and right here. The familiar and unfamiliar scene kept passing around the carriage, and finally slowly turned a corner by the fountain near the central square, and the whistle belonging to the coachman and the footsteps of the soldiers were also displayed in the corners of this square, and then stopped in the direction shown by the soldier in front of Duan Qing: "Please get out of the car." ”

"Who are you?"

"Please get out of the car." As if unwilling to explain too much, the soldier who brought Duan Qing and the others said expressionlessly: "If you have any questions, our family will answer you." ”

"I see."

The figure of the maid slowly walked out of the range of this gorgeous carriage, and Duan Qing, who jumped out of the carriage, then looked up at the building in front of him: "Here...... It seems to be ...... That's just for ...... Used to ......"

"That's right."

A deep voice then sounded in front of Duan Qing, accompanied by an old man in a noble dress looking at Duan Qing's old figure on crutches: "This is between heroes, it was originally a place dedicated to welcoming heroes and commending meritorious deeds, but now it is temporarily used by me for use." ”

"It turned out to be Lord Fortson." Glancing at the appearance of the old man in front of him, Duan Qing then sighed and saluted: "The oldest member of the Principality's parliament, the leader of the aristocratic faction. ”

"It seems that your empire's investigation of our principality has not been relaxed, and even adventurers like you know my identity." Glancing up at Duan Qing's face, the old man known as Fortson then turned his head in a low voice: "Come in." ”

"Didn't the Pamirs come?" Ignoring the hostile gazes from the soldiers of the principality around him, Duan Qing, who shook his head, then followed the footsteps of the other party into this hall of heroes: "I thought that this painstaking meeting could only be arranged by the highest governor of the principality." ”

"You think your whereabouts are secretive?" Walking into the darkness deep in the hall, Fortson, who had stopped, waved his hand to his side: "Your every move is under our control, that bastard of Lux handed back the news as early as you set off, even if we let an Imperialist like you into Tania, do you think we will let our guard down on you?" ”

"Would you like to guess what would happen to you and your maid if I didn't ask you back?" In the scene where the surroundings of the hall were gradually illuminated by magical lights, the old councilor of the principality gradually pulled out a cold low smile: "You still dare to go to a place like the Adventurers' Guild, and you are still in the mood to go around to find out the news?" ”

"If the Duchy hates us so much, why do you dare to invite us back?" Duan Qing waved his hand indifferently: "Aren't you afraid of causing public anger?" ”

"Because now I'm the only one who dares to do that."

Let out a heavy snort, Fortson, who was on crutches, then turned around and walked towards the depths of the Hall of Heroes: "The identity of the Speaker Pamir is not suitable for the present, and other forcesβ€”such as Vincent, Connelly, and Carlosβ€”do not have the courage to come forward, so this task of meeting with the representatives of the enemy country can only be entrusted to me." ”

"Come on, tell me what you're here for." He sat down on a stone chair in the corner of the hall slowly, and then looked at Duan Qing's face with a gloomy gaze: "What do you want to do when you swagger to Taniari?" ”

"We're just trying to figure out one thing." Glancing at Ning Lan with the secret whisper, Duan Qing then took two steps closer to the other party: "Why is the Principality so hostile to us now. ”

"What exactly did Prince Chris do?"

"You still don't know?"

Looking at Duan Qing in surprise for a long time, Fortson's old face then pulled out an exaggerated laughing expression: "Hmph, hum, hahahahaha!" ”

"I've never seen such a naΓ―ve Imperial." He leaned back and smiled back, but there was not the slightest smile in his eyes: "That old thief of Drenierβ€”"

"It's really a group of impressive xenospecies."
