Qing Yue's voice passed through the dim streets, and suddenly echoed in the dark night of the imperial capital where there were almost no people, and the voice that broke the silence did not play a role in stopping it at first, but it soon stopped in front of those people in Duan Qing's rapidly approaching footsteps: "Hurry up, hurry up, the boss is still waiting for us in Xiangqing Bay, tonight this business is done, everyone can get a full set of hot maids, who are you?"

"Passerby, looking for someone." After briefly answering the other party's question, Duan Qing reached out and touched his waist: "I just saw you doing something stealing chickens and dogs here, so I came here to ask." ”

Duan Qing, who wanted to touch the alchemy potion, finally remembered the current situation of his whole body being destroyed when he encountered the magic absorption array in the library, and this move then attracted the attention of the group of black-clothed people who were looking him up and down, and there was a little more mockery in the laughter pointing here: "Why, there are so many peace-loving citizens in the current imperial capital, not only dare to meddle as a novice adventurer, And he's so bold that he dares to meddle in the affairs of our Noxus Chamber of Commerce."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm offended." So Duan Qing put on a smiling face: "You are actually from the Noxus Chamber of Commerce, I really didn't expect that when I was in Entair Town before, I was taken care of by your peers, and I have formed an indissoluble bond with you."

The distance between the gray robe and the black-clothed group quickly narrowed in Duan Qing's laughter, and then completely turned into negative distance contact with a flash of earthy yellow light, and the elemental staff that emitted white light that appeared in Duan Qing's hand then directed those yellow rays to transform into ground thorns that rose from the ground, and most of the gang members who had not yet reacted were dressed into blood-colored gourds: "Group Ground Piercing Technique"

"He, he's a high-level magician, he's ahhh

"It's my habit to shout the name of the move when casting spells, but this time I'm too lazy to afford it."

The ground thorns turned into yellow light spread rapidly along the ground around the street with Duan Qing as the center, accompanied by Duan Qing's action of pinching his brows and waving his staff: "And I'm in a little hurry, so I don't have much effort to continue to spend here with you." ”

"Who are you who can stab you so many times in an instant" A man in black who survived the thousands of stabs pointed to Duan Qing who was slowly walking and exclaimed: "You, you and our Noxus will not let you go, don't come here, you"

Another loud scream then rose between the flesh and blood stone forest that had not disappeared, it was the terrible sound of the only survivor when his limbs were firmly pressed by the boulder, and Duan Qing, who fixed the only living mouth, did not immediately pay attention to the other party's pleas for mercy, but took the lead in checking the black cloth bag that had been deliberately left by himself: "It's a record." ”

"I think I've just seen this sign." I don't know if it's because of this unsatisfactory discovery or because of fatigue, Duan Qing's movements pinching his brows became more intense: "It's something from the Poole family." ”

"You, you're from the Poole family" The last remaining Noxus gang hurriedly shouted, "Wait, wait a minute, we're just helping to do things, helping to do things, your family is still alive, but we have detained them somewhere else."

"That's not what I care about at all, so please stop your noise."

Using a piercing stab and splashed blood to stop the other party's plea for mercy, Duan Qing walked up to the bloodied living mouth with an expressionless face: "Although I didn't expect to be able to find clues related to the Poole family again in such a place, I am not a member of the Poole family, whether you want to extort money or kill them on the spot, it has nothing to do with me now."

"Have you seen a woman" He looked at the frightened face of the living mouth that began to spill blood from the corners of his mouth, and the corners of his mouth gradually pulled into a kind smile: "The kind that wears a cloak, has purple hair, and never speaks." ”

"I didn't, I didn't"

"It's useless."

Looking at the other party's suddenly widened eyes, Duan Qing slowly raised his arm holding the staff, and struggled out of the last shout, followed by the magic light that appeared on the staff before it was about to reach the body, echoing over the entire street, becoming the last cry for survival of the survivor: "Here, in a warehouse on Triumph Avenue near the city gate, this is all the information I know, don't kill me, don't"

Ignoring the last shouts of struggle and the blood gushing out, Duan Qing, who had left the street, took one last look at the black cloth bags scattered on the ground, and then calmly dodged a group of yelling imperial guards who heard the sound, and turned around and walked in the direction of the Triumph Avenue, which is located in the eastern part of the imperial capital Redkar, which is also a famous place in the city. Legend has it that it was the first place to enter the city when the Frey Empire returned to the dynasty when the Frey Empire was founded, so this street, which has hardly changed for thousands of years, has become a well-known holy place known to tourists who come to the imperial capital.

At the same time, it was also one of the routes that Duan Qing and the others had taken when they came to the Poole family's mansion.

"A warehouse near the gates, right?"

Leaning on the roof of one of the houses on both sides of the street, Duan Qing muttered in a low voice, his breathless eyes kept looking at the vicinity of one of the warehouses in the dark night, as if he wanted to find some unusual feelings from the silence: "You won't be taken away by the Noxus Chamber of Commerce as an ordinary member, how can you say that you are a great magician."

"Now that there are no clues, you can only take one step at a time." Sighing involuntarily, he slowly felt towards the location of the warehouse, "Although I don't know if I expect you to be better in there or not. ”

"Sure enough, there are still guards."

The fumbling movement stopped in mid-air, and he shrank by the last eaves near the warehouse, and the sound of the wind that was about to break through the air quickly disappeared along with the folding of the gray robe, dodging the several vigilant glances from below: "Since there are people guarding here, it means that there is really a problem." ”

The magical glow that came from within him gradually enveloped the gray-robed magician, along with his eyes that gradually closed, and the magical glow that had originally appeared golden then turned into a pale green under the manipulation of his mind, and quietly flowed into the crack of the door of the warehouse with the sound of the wind not inferior to the night. The interior of the warehouse without any lighting was hoarding a large number of people who were tied together like goods, and the sound of rapid and panicked breathing seemed to become more obvious with the flow of this breeze, and the sound of the door frame slapping also appeared in the dim warehouse with the gathering of these green energy, and finally turned into a small energy storm that continued to rotate and suddenly lit up in the center of the warehouse: "Fixed-point spell"

"Wind Blast"

rumble

A suffocating storm then manifested inside the warehouse, completely bursting open the door of the warehouse, which had been closed to a single slit, and the wind pressure from the huge explosion then exploded towards the warehouse like a tiger out of the cage, blowing away the guards who had not yet reacted along with the exploding door frames: "Wow, ah, ah"

"What's going on, how did it explode?"

"It's wind magic, someone used wind magic in the warehouse, but with such a powerful power, could it be that there are great magician-level characters among those locked up?"

"If there are such characters in the fart Poole family, how can it be our turn to arrest them and get them up for me, go see what's going on"

The guards who had fallen around the warehouse then shouted and ordered to gather the group of men who had been blown out by the magic storm again, but before they could brave enough to rush back into the warehouse, the "prisoners" who had been held inside already showed signs of escape: "Hurry up and go"

"The prophecy is fulfilled, not now, but when"

"As long as one of them can run out and report to His Majesty the calamity that has befallen us, they will definitely believe our advice."

"Ratham, you take the people to the east, and the rest of the people are close to the city gate, if there is really nothing to be done, then take advantage of our delay here to temporarily flee outside the city."

A cold breath that was out of step with the gradually hot weather suddenly came from the front, and then turned into a frost frenzy that swept through most of the market, and the rapidly spreading ice blue wave then roared and blew through the black-clad guards who were about to arrest the prisoners again, freezing their bodies into lifelike ice sculptures along with their loud warnings. The shocked shouts were then replaced by shouts of celebration, and the prisoners who were looking at these miracles in front of them then began to run wildly again, and the old man dressed as the patriarch who had given orders to the crowd before also let go of the idea of continuing to block the place, and the figure who disappeared into the shadows of the streets and alleys was stopped halfway by an unfamiliar pull the next moment: "This elder or patriarch, please stay." ”

"You, Who Are You"

Looking at the figure of the gray-robed magician who came out of the corner of the darker alley, the old man struggled twice in a little panic: "Are you also the adventurer sent by the Chamber of Commerce to act as a thug?"

"It seems that the Noxus Chamber of Commerce has indeed cooperated with other adventurers."

Exhaling deeply, Duan Qing tried his best to put on the most kind smile he could put on now: "Please rest assured, this lord, I just passed by and saw the scene that happened around the warehouse just now, so I just wanted to ask what happened." ”

"I'm the patriarch of the Poole family, Atfarik Poole." As if he had figured out something, the old man, who was wearing a torn aristocratic robe and still had traces of binding on his hands, said in a serious voice: "Whoever you are, allow me to pass on my help to you and ask that our family is under threat, and the whole clan is now being held here by those rioters. ”

"The prophecy has worked on us, and we have finally escaped from the clutches of those people." He looked at Duan Qing's face, and his expression was also full of gratitude: "I hope you can spread the news of our suffering from this disaster and send it to His Majesty Drenier." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary adventurer who is not treated well by the emperor, so I shouldn't be able to help you."

Blocking out the system prompt sound in his ears, Duan Qing replied expressionlessly: "And I'm very busy now, so I probably don't have time to accept your request." ”

"All adventurers need is a reward, and the rumors outside say so." As if he had no intention of giving up, the old man who called himself Atfaric put on a kind smile on his face: "Although our Poole family does not handle many things, and the family is not as rich as other imperial nobles, it should still be possible to get enough compensation. ”

"Say it, what do you want"

Ignoring the panicked escape and battle collisions that were still coming from the street, the old man looked at Duan Qing with a smile and asked, the latter blinked his eyes and looked at the other party fixedly for a while, until the atmosphere began to look awkward, and then gave up his thinking: "Okay, then I will directly ask you if you have seen a purple-haired woman in a cloak and whether she was caught with you."

"Nope." Atfarik's face showed a slight look of remembrance: "It's just me and my people who have been caught in this warehouse, and we don't see anyone else being locked up here. ”

"Good, goodbye." Sinking his face, Duan Qing turned around and walked towards the depths of the alley without hesitation: "When tonight's matter is over, I will find a way to report the matter of you and your family to the palace." ”

"Wait, wait a minute, where are you going" Stretching out his hand and gesturing in a certain direction above the imperial capital, the old patriarch hurriedly spoke up to stop Duan Qing's departing back: "Are you going to that place, that magic center that is radiating energy outward"

"Perhaps." Duan Qingtou, who had stopped, replied without looking back, "If you can find Violet successfully." ”

"Violet, you say Violet," the old man's voice became even more surprised: "Is that Violet Roland, that Violet who left the royal family in anger thirty-seven years ago?"

"What are you talking about"

Duan Qing, who stood in place and shook for a long time, realized the meaning of the words he heard, he looked sideways at the old man behind him, and suddenly remembered Lotter's previous introduction to the Poole family in front of him: "By the way, you should be the ones who know the history of the empire best." ”

"Tell me as quickly as you can about the history I'm interested in." He then turned around and walked back to the old patriarch's side: "If it can be satisfied"

"I'll take this history you provide as payment."
