It seemed that the still air began to flow again with the sound of Duan Qing's voice, accompanied by the scene of the azure purple light gradually fading, Violet, who seemed to have a little reaction to this question, then also reached out to hold the handle of the red lotus staff, and her eyes once again showed the same confused color as before: "......"

"I'm ......" her lips trembled continuously, and under her blank expression, the first recognizable syllable voice finally came out since she was picked up by Duan Qing: "I...... It'......"

"What's wrong with her?" Glancing in the direction of the dazed Thousand Finger Crane behind him, Duan Qing finally gave up the idea of continuing to tease the other party: "Do you know her person?" Or know her staff. ”

“……”

Without uttering any more meaningful words, Violet set her eyes on the red lotus-colored staff in her hand, and the myriad of magical radiances from around her began to shine brighter and brighter in front of several people, until the purple-haired woman's entire body was completely enveloped in it. Stretching out his hand to push away the movements of the red-haired girl who wanted to pounce forward, Duan Qing then hurriedly opened the distance between himself and the light before this light submerged him, and the sight of the red lotus staff floating in the air again was just in time for the player passing by around the clearing to look sideways, and landed in the air in front of him and the red-haired girl in a rotating and floating attitude: "This, this is-"

"It's ...... Upgraded? ”

Looking at the surface of the staff floating in front of each other, which exuded even more brilliant brilliance, Duan Qing's eyes gradually widened: "Comet star? The second generation of the Red Lotus Staff? ”

"This, how is this possible?" The Thousand Fingered Crane, who was kneeling on the ground, also widened his eyes: "I haven't completed the staff upgrade task yet, and the step of finding the energy source has stuck me for a long time, why, why suddenly-ah!" ”

She let out an exclamation, then pointed to the purple-haired woman who appeared behind the fading brilliance, "Could it be that she provided the source of energy?" She's also a great magician? ”

"Well...... She was indeed a great magician. Duan Qing, who didn't know how to explain it, replied with a dry smile: "It's just that her current state is a little abnormal, and we have been taking her for a long time while while we are looking for a solution......

"Is that so?"

After staring at each other cautiously for a while, the red-haired Thousand Fingered Crane then stretched out one of his hands with a little hesitation: "Then, does this Red Lotus Staff still belong to me now?" ”

"Of course, don't you see the word Thousand Fingered Crane written on it?" Duan Qing replied with a big grin: "This kind of equipment that has been determined to belong to it is not something that can be easily removed by just something, you can rest assured." ”

"Really, wow!" Reaching out to hold the floating staff in his arms, the Thousand-Fingered Crane finally couldn't hold back his excitement and shouted, "Hooray! My staff has finally been upgraded! After all this time, I was about to give up...... That's right. ”

"Thank you, thank you." She took two steps forward holding the Red Lotus Staff, and her gaze fell on the purple-haired woman: "I thought you, you...... You're a good guy! ”

"Hey, don't you send me an extra good guy card by the way?" Looking at Violet who was still confused and didn't know how to answer, Duan Qing, who also stepped forward, pointed to his nose: "Do you want to continue to drive us out?" ”

"Ahem, ahem." So Thousand-Fingered Crane's expression became a little more embarrassed: "That and that...... We finally got this piece of land, and it was impossible to give it up, but ......"

"I can invite you to participate in the planning and construction of our branch." She winked her eyes with a smile: "There is this powerful NPC...... No, it's the Grand Mage, and the chapter building of the Mage Council must be sped up by two times - no, three times! ”

"She's a great magician, and even I don't know what she did to your staff." Duan Qing pouted helplessly: "But you can also see her current situation, not to mention magic, even taking care of her daily life is a problem......

"It's okay, it's okay, we can solve all of this." Thousand Fingered Crane waved his hand proudly: "Even if she is not one of the registered members of the council, as long as she is a powerful magician, she will be the object of our mage council's best efforts - uh, what are you doing?" ”

"So you admit it."

Sighing and shaking his head, Duan Qing, who let go of his hand, looked at the red-haired girl with disdain: "But have you forgotten something?" ”

"Forget, forget what?"

"Forget what you said in the main hall."

Touching his nose, Duan Qing then looked at the embarrassed face of the Thousand Fingered Crane with a scrutinizing gaze: "We were just accused by you of the criminals who killed people in the street in the main hall, and now we are immediately guests of the Mage Council again?" ”

"This, this......" The Thousand-Fingered Crane writhed his fingers and replied, "These two are not the same thing......

"Gone."

His eyes blinked twice in front of the red-haired girl, and Duan Qing then waved his hand to the person next to him and said, "It's time to continue our journey." ”

"You guys, where are you going?" Looking at Xue Lingphantom Bing, who pulled the corners of his mouth and gradually turned around, and Violet's figure who followed behind the other party honestly, Thousand Fingered Crane, who didn't have a chance to take care of his mood, hurriedly blurted out: "Are you leaving the imperial capital again?" ”

"Of course not, we still have a lot of work to do."

Teasing and saying this, Duan Qing, who had already walked out of the clearing, turned around and pointed to the majestic huge building not far ahead: "For example, ...... now"

"We're going to go to the Imperial Library to have a look, would you like to come along?"

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

The Thousand Finger Crane didn't keep up in the end, because the inexplicable estrangement between the two would not change because of this small episode, and the words that had been staring at the back of Xue Ling's Phantom Ice and wanted to ask questions were finally drowned in the back of the three people who gradually left here and disappeared into the crowd: "The little girl seems to recognize you." ”

"No, she recognized you."

Helplessly tilting his head, Duan Qing, who walked to the bottom of a white step, then let out a few wry smiles: "Anyway, you were also a teammate who traveled with us, not to mention the things that happened later that I don't know, she ...... during this time." It must have been very painful, right? ”

"How do I know?"

After remaining silent for a while, Xue Lingphantom Bing shook her head stiffly: "The female devil is not in the mood to care about the life and death of other people, let alone a young girl like her who revolves around you every day. ”

"So people have also learned cruel methods, such as the one who framed us all this morning." Deliberately avoiding the jealousy that filled it, Duan Qing shook his head with a dry smile: "Although I don't know what kind of deal she has reached with those aristocratic forces in private, I can probably guess what her own purpose is. ”

"Hmph."

Let out a heavy cold snort, Xue Ling's cold and hard face suddenly tilted to Duan Qing's face: "As a result, she didn't get a great benefit-say, did you mean it?" ”

"Coincidence, coincidence." Duan Qing hurriedly raised his hand and begged for mercy: "How do I know that Violet has suddenly become an upgrade stone for people to upgrade their weapons?" Who could have predicted such an accident-"

"Come on, you're sure you know something." Xue Lingphantasm Bing squinted her eyes and grabbed Duan Qing's collar: "From the beginning, I boasted about Haikou when I made a promise, but in the end, I made the great magician like this......

"Say, when will I upgrade my weapon?"

"This and this...... It's not that the concubine doesn't want to do it, the concubine really can't do it. ”

"That emperor is probably already eyeing the Blood Sword Sunset, he will have to find a way to take back this divine weapon sooner or later, before we upgrade to the full level, you have to solve our weapon problem earlier!"

"Isn't the Dragon's Tooth series we have now enough for you? That thing might be an item that could be upgraded into an artifact, and we haven't followed this clue to contact that dragon guy yet, so if there's a chance like that—"

"You two."

The shocking voice suddenly came from the two people diagonally above, accompanied by a male magician wearing simple robes and holding a simple book standing at the top of the steps looking down on the two people: "This is the library of the Empire, please keep quiet." ”

"I'm sorry." Finally found an opportunity to take it out of the white-haired woman's hand, and Duan Qing, who was standing aside, hurriedly tidied up his robe: "We are just passing tourists, and we don't want to disturb you...... Who are you? ”

"I'm Mahi Ed, Mahi Ed George." A deep furrow soothed as the simple magician's voice lowered, and the Imperial youth, who called himself Mahied, then introduced in a gentle voice, "One of the administrators of the Imperial Library, who is currently practicing here—huh?" ”

His gaze froze, and his gaze stayed on the purple-haired woman who was staring at the library in a daze: "You, you, are you ......?"

"You're Violet—"

He cried out in shock, and then covered his mouth with his hand as if he remembered something: "You are the Lord of Violet?" But shouldn't you have disappeared after the miracle of Tanzania? ”

"It's always the magician who is easiest to identify—that's true."

With such an exclamation, Duan Qing then brought Vierlitra, who was still expressionless, behind him: "She is ...... now Uh, that's right, she's been preparing for a self-breakthrough recently, so she's been in a state of deep meditation, ahahahaha. ”

"Who are you?" So Mahi Ide returned his gaze to Duan Qing: "How can you be with her?" ”

"I'm her apprentice, an alchemy apprentice." Duan Qing, who had already begun to make mistakes, quickly changed his role, and the act of saluting was also full of the habits and characteristics unique to magicians: "I heard the legend of the Imperial Magic Library from my teacher before, so I took the opportunity to visit Redkar this time. ”

“…… Hmph, it's really not an ordinary traveler. Putting away the pages she was holding, Mahied then turned and walked in the direction of the library door, "This is not the place to talk. ”

"Come in."

Looking at the scene of the figure gradually disappearing into the shadow of that magnificent building, Duan Qing, who took a long breath, then silently looked at each other with the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice beside him for a while, and then bowed and saluted with emotion, constantly scanning the surface of the vermilion building with pillars and flat window lattices: "Guess what indescribable grievances and grievances this person has with our Violet Lord?" ”

"How do I know?" Xue Lingphantom Ice also shrugged helplessly: "And is this question still meaningful?" ”

"Of course there is, and this determines the attitude of our dealings with the other side and the level of danger we are in for a while." Pulling Violet's arm, Duan Qing turned and began to walk slowly towards the top of the white steps: "That magician just now...... Considering Violet's relationship with the royal family and the change in attitude, I think it's better for us to be friendly......"

"Wait." Hurriedly chasing after the other party, Xue Lingphantom asked suspiciously, "How do you know?" Could it be—"

"Is this what you saw during the possession?"
