“……”

"What? Don't recognize your old friend? ”

“……”

"Still as silent as ever, Shirley's inheritor...... From this point of view, you still have some resemblance to the girl on the snowy mountain. ”

The hoarse old man's voice continued to come out of the hut, passing by the side of the snow spirit phantom ice again and again, and with the black aura that had not stopped flowing in the darkness behind the wooden door, the scene like a whimpering hell was once again moved to their eyes. Duan Qing, who was still lying on the side of the road, never stopped panting, but his eyes kept scanning around the empty streets and alleys, until the people in the grass hut also lost the will to continue to speak, he covered his chest and gradually stood up: "Yes...... Convina, right? The ...... that once appeared in the Emerald Forest"

"Finally someone remembered my name, cough cough cough ......" The old man's voice began to cough, but there was obviously a hint of a smile in his tone: "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye...... It's been six months since the Emerald Tower. ”

"I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to meet again." Slowly walking behind Xue Ling's Phantom Ice, Duan Qing made a harmless gesture towards the other party who turned around: "Although according to their respective purposes, this side will be seen sooner or later......"

"That's how fate fits." The old voice belonging to Convina sounded immediately: "Fate has finally guided you to the land of Taurus's envoys, and at the same time sent those living mouths of the day to me...... I'd love to catch up with you little guys, but you don't think you have that in mind, do you? ”

"I admit that you are a strong opponent, but we will not give up easily." Duan Qing shook his head: "It's like the Emerald Forest at the beginning...... We never gave up the same. ”

"Hehehehehe......"

The hollow and hoarse laughter echoed in the seemingly small thatched hut again, and at the same time there was the increasingly fierce surging sound of black energy overflowing the door: "Those little adventurers in the past have finally grown up, and they actually have the courage to face me......"

"Adventurers are greedy, as long as you drop your equipment...... Uh-no, as long as you continue to disrupt the peace of the Free Continent, we will always be in front of you. ”

Finally calming down his breath, Duan Qing put on a posture of righteous words: "We will stop you, just like when we were in Tania before." ”

"Hmph, hehehehe...... Very good. ”

The old man's voice, which had been coughing, finally paused, and then chuckled again: "Then let's see if you have the ability to get close to me, the new and old hatred between you and the restorer......

"I'll make a wrap up here."

"Ha, I can't ask for it! There was Ben who put us in ...... beforehand."

Bang!

The loud sound of the door closing suddenly echoed in front of and behind the empty street, it was the sound of the wooden door belonging to the thatched house being slammed shut by the black air current, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who had always maintained a high degree of vigilance, also hurriedly turned around and walked to Duan Qing, who was looking sluggish: "You, are you okay?" ”

"This guy doesn't play by the routine." Staring directly at the wooden door in front of him for a while, Duan Qing then showed a wry smile: "The declaration of war is not finished...... Ah, it's okay, it's okay, why are you here too? ”

"I found it according to what you told me earlier." Xue Lingphantom Ice replied a little stiffly: "According to what you said before, there are only a few directions for the Restorationist to launch the ceremony, I wanted to come over to help, but I didn't expect ......."

"It's okay, it's just a sword."

Seeing the other party's apologetic face, Duan Qing waved his hand half-jokingly: "When I played the game of Gun God back then, didn't I often get headshots from friendly fire?" I'm very glad that I haven't been sent back to my hometown now...... Uh, did I say something wrong? Would you like to be a little happier? Although I'm not very good at comforting people, but now is not the time to hang your head down, take out your posture as the goddess of ice and snow, otherwise after a while, you will not be able to defeat that old monster-level boss......"

"That guy ......"

As if to get to the point, Xue Ling's phantom ice's expression finally returned to its normal state: "It's an opponent that is enough to rival the water mage Christine, right?" ”

"Maybe it's a match for the sisters." Duan Qing smiled bitterly and said, "Be mentally prepared, the probability of losing this battle is very high, what we can do is probably to rush in and take a look, and then bring back the information and intelligence about this ceremony......

“…… I understand. ”

"The other party closed the main entrance, but we can also choose to break in from other places, even if it is a last resort, the thatched hut of this clan does not look very solid, it is okay to find a random wall to smash in, the problem is the position of the other party...... Since the guy who has been clamoring for a long time still doesn't want to clash with us head-on, it means that they are still taking the launching ceremony as their main purpose, and what they said for a long time before is actually just delaying time...... Hey, what are you doing? ”

Bang!

The snow-white sword qi cut through the surface of the wooden door with a loud shout of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, splitting the door that was agitating into a cloud of debris, and the black energy with the whistling wind then brought those debris to the extremely dark sky, and at the same time completely exposed the main entrance of the thatched house, but the frosty Snow Spirit Phantom Ice did not mean to be timid at all, and the figure of taking two steps forward then blocked in front of the main entrance, she glanced at a certain tribal totem hanging on the end of the grass roof, Then he ignored Duan Qing's analysis that had not stopped before, and walked towards the dark room: "Since that's the case...... Then save time. ”

"I'm in charge of playing the front, you can rush in and take a look."

"Hey, don't make your own decisions." Duan Qing behind him hurriedly rushed forward: "And ......"

Bell –

The sound of hollow metal colliding then suddenly sounded in the darkness inside the door, and then spread into the distance as the extremely fast reaction of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice raised its sword to block the attack in the darkness, and the ice blue energy then lit up in the darkness for a moment, and forced the enemy in front of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice back with a sudden flash of cold ice sword qi: "Who is it?" ”

"So Convina isn't alone......

The voice belonging to Duan Qing then slashed past her, and the black short sword with a red glow then stabbed in a certain direction in the dark room: "You should also have some impressions, the black-clothed swordsman who has been guarding the old man's side ......"

Bang!

The black figure appeared for a moment with Duan Qing's figure sprinting forward, and then separated to the two sides again, and Duan Qing, who was obviously at a disadvantage in strength, also hit the stone wall with the result of this confrontation and slowly slid down: "Ahem...... I was just knocked out by this guy......"

“……”

The beautiful face froze into a piece of cold ice again, and the snow spirit phantom ice took a step forward again, and the ice blue long sword in his hand then turned into a snow-colored wave, rushing towards the darkness inside the passage, and the attack formed by the sword qi then flooded most of the area in the house, and even the dark energy that was constantly raging in it seemed to become a little colder, but before the waves of ice and snow were completely dissipated, the unscathed figure belonging to the black-clothed swordsman had already appeared in front of the two people:" It was actually able to turn sword qi into ice and snow...... What an amazing attack. ”

“…… You go first, I'll deal with this guy. Ignoring the other party's words, Xue Ling's phantom ice head, who took off his hood, said without replying: "Ten minutes later...... We meet at the tavern. ”

"What an unlucky meeting point." Duan Qing, who was chuckling, then rushed out of the shadow behind the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, and then raised his sword to block the attack of the black-clothed swordsman who attacked again: "But it's very realistic, I like it." ”

"Tell me your opponent is me!"

The sword qi of ice and snow was like an ice spike that had just been frozen by the cold wind, condensing one by one at the black-clothed swordsman's side, and then flew out together in the direction that Duan Qing was running in an extremely tough attitude: "Look down on my words...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”

“…… Interesting. ”

Looking at Duan Qing, who was running away behind the frost thorn, the black-clothed swordsman finally stopped, and then transmitted the voice with a smile to the ears of Xue Lingphantom Bing: "Although the adult's order is to guard, but the opportunity is rare......"

“……”

As if he had achieved his goal, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who no longer spoke, began to concentrate all his energy, and the long black hair that was scattered behind him also began to show signs of continuous floating, and the black-clothed swordsman with an unclear face then disappeared again, and his body gradually disappeared into the dark room where the energy was surging, and the iceberg woman who had been observing left and right for a while seemed to be unable to capture her opponent from the dark room, so she closed her eyes very simply: "This kind of training ......"

"I've done it many times!"

Airplanes!

The sound of the convergence of energy suddenly sounded beside her, accompanied by a sword flower of ice and snow that flew outwards and flew into the air, and the snow spirit phantom ice that did not stop then pulled out another ice spike of his own, and quickly crossed the center of the ice trail that had not yet dispersed, and the sword shadow that slashed across then produced a large amount of ice chips, like a blizzard towards the black shadow that was still in the air, but a darker sword shadow appeared in the hand of the black shadow in the sky, like a cloth that completely tore the ice shadow in the sky into pieces:" Drink! ”

In the loud sound of sword strikes, the snow spirit phantom ice that raised his sword to parry was then slashed out by the powerful sword, and only after a long time did he get up from the darkness that he had not entered, wiping away the blood that oozed from the corners of his mouth because of the shock to his internal organs: "Your sword ......"

"Originating from the last days of the Magic Empire, the dagger has the special effect of breaking magic, and it is because of this type of weapon that the dynasty of the Magic Empire will become less indestructible." The black-clothed swordsman did not choose to take advantage of the situation to attack, but stood in place and raised his arms: "As the inheritors, we naturally can't avoid the existence of this nemesis, otherwise...... We can neither learn from the failures of the past, nor survive the long hunt of the Mage Council to this day. ”

"My sword is called ...... Xiaoguang. The black-clothed swordsman raised the long sword in his hand, and there was a hint of seriousness in the black-clothed masked eyes: "The swordsman who has mastered the ice and snow...... Can you ask them by name? ”

“…… An icefall, a frost. ”

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Xue Lingphantom Ice slowly climbed up, and then in the gradually approaching footsteps, he threw away the two ice-colored long swords held in his hands: "Both are swordsmen...... It's an honor to fight with you. ”

"Bet on the glory of a swordsman."

“…… Please advise. ”

In the boundless momentum that rose into the sky again, the two sword lights of blue and black converged again, and then with the sword qi that erupted in the thatched house from time to time, it raged wildly in their respective directions, and the black qi from the depths of the house was also dispersed by the energy burst out by the two swordsmen from time to time, flying out around the place where the two people intersected, and in the depths of the source of these black gases, a panting man finally arrived at his destination and saw the old acquaintance in his impression:" You are...... Convina, right? ”

"It will take a little time for the magic circle to activate."

In front of the shining magic array filled with black gas, the old man with a slumped figure slowly turned around: "Your courage and determination have once again surpassed my surprise, adventurer. ”

"Although there was speculation when I was observing from the outside, no one else really came to the town...... Looks like you're confident, old man. Duan Qing gasped and replied, "Can you alone hold that magic array?" ”

"It seems that your understanding of me is far less clear than my understanding of you."

With an old staff in his hand, Convina slowly lowered his head: "And ......"

"I didn't come here to protect this circle." He pointed around himself: "It's to start it." ”

"Start?"

"The completion of the final ritual requires the simultaneous opening of the twelve thrones, which you must already know."

Moving two steps slowly and heavily, the old man walked back to the front of the magic array: "But...... The activation of each magic circle requires not only the key to the throne, but also the power that belongs to the throne, if it is not my own magic power, I want to fully open the magic circle...... It's almost impossible. ”

"Then ......" Duan Qing asked in a deep voice, "How did you do it?" ”

"We are the inheritors of the Magic Empire, and any so-called magic shackles are in front of us...... It's like homework assigned by the Academy of Magic. ”

The old man's voice was filled with pride when he said this: "It's not difficult for me to complete the cracking of the key, and those so-called exclusive powers ......"

Duan Qing's eyes gradually widened, he waved his hand towards the air around him, and then gradually condensed a wisp of black energy that was constantly surrounding the magic array into his palm.

"In front of me...... It's really not worth mentioning. ”
