As if the previous treatment had worked, Pamir gradually woke up in the early morning of March 30, 796 A.D., and an invitation from the Duchy of Elnifia arrived in the village of Taran with a verbal message from the Speaker. Not as tough as the previous Taran Village, the back of Her Royal Highness Princess Rena, who nodded and agreed to the invitation, also disappeared into her royal carriage, and the bustling sound began to diffuse every corner of the village with the Imperial soldiers pulling out the camp, and the team of hundreds of people gradually gathered towards the outline of the city of Tania in the distance.

Affected by the previous eruption of the leylines, the heavy rain that continued in this area had now turned into a long-lost sunny day, and the expressions on the faces of the imperial officers and soldiers looking at this clear sky were not so relaxed, but became more serious.

"It's just that an invitation was sent out at a time like this."

Also returning to the carriage he belonged to, Duan Qing's voice became much lower, he put away himself leaning against the window to watch the silent march, and at the same time looked at the other teammates in the slow-moving carriage: "At this sensitive point in time, or when the disaster has not completely disappeared, it is simply an incredible choice to invite us, the biggest enemies on the surface, into the city." ”

"Rena will choose to accept it, and it is also an outcome that we did not expect." Xue Ling, who had already woken up from the rest and covered his forehead, also analyzed in a low voice; "From the standpoint of the Empire, they are the most unsuitable people to meddle at this time, but—heh, one dares to ask, the other dares to take, if it weren't for the fact that we both know enough about both sides, I would have thought that this Speaker and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of the Empire secretly have some ulterior motives."

"That's not the crux of the matter, because that Pamir hasn't come out of the crisis yet." Saying this, Duan Qing pointed to his chest at the same time: "Of course, I am not referring to his seriously injured body, but his current situation. ”

"Even if there are some parliamentarians who support him, I'm afraid there will be some problems with his current status."

Holding up a finger above his head, he lowered his voice and replied slowly, while the rest of the people sitting in the carriage seemed to understand what Duan Qing was alluding to, and replaced the solemnity that they wanted to express between each other with a moment of silence: "That Vincent...... Judging by the outside news we got later, it was clear that there was something wrong with this guy. ”

"It should be a secret agreement with some forces." Duan Qing waved his hand: "After all, Tania's power structure is different from the empire, and the probability of not being monolithic is much higher than that of the empire, let's first classify him into the category of people who are restored, and treat him as an enemy." ”

"There may be many more such cases." Sitting in the corner of the carriage, Gerdemayne shook his head: "If they have formed a faction, the position of the Pamirs is likely to be affected. ”

"We're already involved in the struggle for power in the principality." Xue Lingphantasm Bing pinched her brows and sighed: "If you think about it, you have to fight against them, just when you are about to enter the city-"

"Let's exchange the information we have."

She said these words, and at the same time turned her head to look at Duan Qing's face with a "you know what to do" gaze: "It's up to you to start first." ”

"Okay."

With a wry smile, the gray-robed magician then tidied up his clothes, he closed his eyes and was slightly silent for a while, reorganizing his chaotic memories for a while: "Then summarize all the things that have happened recently, after all, some of us have not experienced everything that happened the night before, and I don't know all about what happened to you myself......"

"The one called Ning Lan in the Secret Whisper - isn't it okay if she's not here?" Asahi Dongsheng, who was leaning on the side with a giant axe, smiled and tilted his head: "Is the question about her not within the scope of our discussion?" ”

"Leave her alone, it's okay." The light in his eyes flashed, and Duan Qing then waved his hand: "And I have some understanding of that guy's current state...... Not. ”

"Well, let's start with her situation." As if he had made a decision, he then spread his hands to the others: "According to what I know, she should have temporarily switched her personality, so she is a little emotionally unstable, don't worry too much, don't care." ”

“……”

It seemed that they didn't know how to reply to Duan Qing's explanation, and the players standing or sitting in the carriage looked at each other for a while, and the sigh belonging to the snow spirit phantom ice also sounded first among the shadows at the forefront, accompanied by her helpless action of stroking her forehead: "Is this why she suddenly attacked me?" I always feel that this explanation is very reluctant. ”

"If you still have any doubts, then you can wait for her to come back." Duan Qing replied angrily: "You are the leader of the adventure group, you should be more tolerant of your own team members." ”

"The woman's reason for attacking me doesn't seem so positive."

Recalling the scenes he had experienced in the passage, Xue Lingphantasm Ice then slowly put away his own voice and said to himself: "Well, let's talk about the secrets of that underground area - can you be sure about that map?" ”

"Almost certainly." Belonging to the slightly confused gaze of the other two people, Duan Qing answered the question in a low voice: "Combined with those fragments I saw later in the furnace, I think it should be part of the inverted imperial capital, Redcar. ”

"And it's part of the palace."

As he said this, he looked at the faces of the rest of the players with a calm gaze, and the gaze that seemed to be waiting for something also received due feedback, and the figure of Asahi Dongsheng jumping up first was included in his eyes: "The map is repeated? The capital of the principality is the capital of the empire underground? What's going on? ”

"Tania modeled the way empires were built? Is there any necessary connection between this? ”

"It's probably not as simple as you think."

After briefly describing the hall that he and Xue Lingphantom Ice had seen, Duan Qing then explained with a serious face: "Since it is an upside-down hall, we can think that this place was once a relic modeled after Redkar's capital, this relic has undergone a very thorough transformation, except for the useless parts and the parts that cannot be transformed, the style of the other parts is very different from this era in the free world. ”

"Combined with the structure of the city itself and our previous understanding of it, Ling Bing and I preliminarily judged that this city may come from another era." He pointed to the gate in front of the convoy, which was gradually approaching, "Including the defensive design, the defensive circle, the overload magic circuits after the catastrophe, and the prophecies - these can prove that this city has a completely different style from the magical world." ”

"We might be able to open up a new expansion for the free world or something." With the same wry smile, Gedmane wiped his forehead as well: "This is really...... It's shocking. ”

"If the city comes from another world, or from the future, what do we gain?" Asahi Dongsheng on the side frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with the capital of the empire?" ”

"The purpose of putting these facts out was to get everyone to brainstorm ideas." Duan Qing looked at them and smiled: "I can start by telling me my own conjecture: Tania may be Redkar from the future, and when he was transferred, he was upside down in his current position for some reason, and everyone was buried underground. ”

"It took a long time for them to dig all the people who survived out of the ground." His fingers gestured through the flat space: "The ground has been transformed, the city has been reconstituted - this also explains why Tania appeared out of thin air a thousand years ago, and why the Tadayans became inexplicably powerful in the final battle of the Magic Empire." ”

“……”

Seriously considering the possibility of Duan Qing's words, there was no voice of his own in the carriage for a while, until the feeling of bumps came from under his feet, and several people followed the carriage into the range of Tania, and some of the voices discussed Duan Qing's speculation: "Indeed, this is a very likely result, according to the records in the history of the Free Continent, these founders of Tania suddenly appeared in the Free Continent as if they appeared out of thin air. ”

"But another question arises: why are they going against the Frey Empire? According to this theory, their origins should be the same as the Frey Empire, and Frey the Great should be their ancestor. ”

"It is possible that something happened in the future that caused them to deny all the actions of their ancestors, and the appearance of Ernifia also changed the original trajectory of history, and went in the direction of their desired destiny......"

"Are there any people in the principality who can come out and prove the existence of these things? What the? Are they all dead? So how did this group of descendants survive? ”

The discussion that gradually unfolded echoed around the carriage with the voices of several people, and at the same time made Duan Qing's wry smile more obvious, he looked at the Xue Ling Phantom Ice, who was also looking at him, and then concluded in a low voice: "In short, we have a general idea of the background of that mysterious area, and what we need to do now is to figure out the current situation on the basis of this concept." ”

"Are you referring to the relationship between the duchy and the empire?" Xue Lingphantasm replied in a deep voice, "The two of them are now opposites, but theoretically they should be inevitably connected......

"Judging from our contacts during this time, there may not be anyone in the upper echelons of the Principality who knows these secrets." Duan Qing touched his chin: "Either our guess is wrong, or they really don't know the meaning of the source of these facilities buried underground. ”

"Judging from what you and Ning Lan have been in contact with before, Pamir himself wants to be able to resolve this conflict in a more peaceful way, right?" Xue Ling Phantom Ice looked at Duan Qing's eyes: "Is it possible that he already knew these secrets?" ”

"Rather than believing in this possibility, it is more reliable to think that 'he sensed something wrong.'"

Lowering his head and saying such words, Duan Qing's face gradually became tangled: "Except for Fortson and Pamir, who received us, the attitude of the others towards our imperial side is very hostile, what kind of agreement has been reached within them, and why Pamir was assassinated when he met with us - all this is a mystery." ”

"Maybe when we see me again, these questions will be answered." Snow Spirit Phantom Ice lowered her gaze to the shadows on the side: "Including the problem of the underground area, and the problem of someone trying to impersonate his identity...... Even if he didn't know that these secrets existed, the guy who stood at the top of the duchy should have a more logical explanation. ”

"I don't think he's necessarily aware of the existence of another Pamir." Duan Qing shook his head and looked out the window: "The look of confusion when he was assassinated doesn't look like he was pretending, this may be another conspiracy in the middle of a conspiracy, how to figure out all the ins and outs of this——"

"It's all up to us to ask."

He sighed, and at the same time moved his indifferent gaze from the other two players who were still discussing and arguing to the scene outside the window, and then the jolting of the carriage slowly drove into the center of Yarl Street, which was facing the southern gate of Tania, under the protection of the surrounding Imperial cavalry, and continued to move in the direction of the council hall. The damaged road made it much more difficult for the convoy to move forward, and at the same time, the Imperial soldiers guarding the surrounding area became speechless, and they looked at each other in silence with the countless civilians of the principality who were being rescued and repaired, and then frowned at a certain moment in the rebuke that erupted: "Get out!" ”

"Get them out!"

"You're not welcome here!"

"Everything is done by the Imperials! They did it! ”

"It seems that public opinion is still tilting to the other side."

Paying attention to the faces of those pale-faced Imperial soldiers, Duan Qing said in a low voice: "Although we can't expect the Duchy to clarify our innocence so quickly, I'm afraid it's unrealistic to ask them to take the initiative to change their tone." ”

"Even if the Pamirs take the initiative to intercede, the hostility of most principalities towards us will not subside." Asahi Dongsheng sneered and hugged his arms: "After all, it has cultivated hatred for nearly a thousand years, and even the accounts between the players in the camp can no longer be settled." ”

"If you insist on it, this disaster is indeed a little bit of our fault." Gedmane shook his head: "But now this situation, it's not easy for our side to admit it." ”

"It can only be seen what the Pamir himself says." Duan Qing shook his head and sighed, "I hope that guy can use his own wrist to save the current situation a little bit-"

A loud warning then appeared at the front of the convoy, interrupting what he was about to say in an instant, and several people hurriedly poked their heads out, and they were greeted by a rushing Duchy civilian being kicked away by the Imperial guard.

"Stop!"
