1224 Look for a breakthrough
Just like the unchanging heavy rain in the sky overhead, the situation in Talan Village has not changed much for a while due to the appearance of Duan Qing and his party, and the intelligence from the principality side shows that there are only a few more reports to remind the number of people in the investigation team to increase at this time, and the attention that should be paid in the following time has not been shown in its report at this time. Walking between the long roads of the town covered with rain curtains, the members of this Qingling Adventure Group only received hostile glances from the soldiers of the principality and the people of the principality at this time, and they who had already received the baptism of the fortress were naturally immune to this kind of torture from the atmosphere, and watched the whole town full of the characteristics of the principality: "This should be one of the towns closer to the fortress in the Talon Plain, so the troops of the principality stationed are quite a lot, but in peacetime, This place is still a great place for adventurers to gather. β
"That's right, the wild wolves around are probably only at a dozen levels, and the Tarong Forest in the south has a simple structure and low hunting difficulty, so as long as you are a player who is used to this world, you can easily deal with it......"
"I mean, you two, how do you know this place so well? Were you both principalities before? β
"Of course, there is also Ning Lan, we were all from the principality in the early days, although we haven't been here much, but we are more or less familiar with the simple building in front of us."
Looking at the mansion of one of the principalities that he had just passed by, Duan Qing smiled slightly: "Although we are now from the Empire. β
"It's normal."
Shaking his head, Gedmayne on the side then smiled as if comforting: "In the past virtual real world, there will always be a variety of camps for players to choose from, and apostasy is also a common thing, even in the free continent, there are also players and guilds dragging their families and defecting to enemy countries and the like. β
"It's just that with the sharp contradictions between the two countries, this antagonism has also intensified." The rising sun on the side then also showed a disdainful expression: "Hey, so what are you talking nonsense for, if you want to fight, hit me quickly, Lao Tzu has never been afraid of you principalities - hmmmm!" β
"If you don't want to get beaten, shut me up."
Stretching out his hand to cover the other party's mouth, Duan Qing's gaze then swept over the many hostile gazes that were thrown around: "Whether it is geographical location or public opinion, we are now at an absolute disadvantage." β
"That's right, if you want to reverse this passive situation, you can only find a way to open a breakthrough." Holding his chin and shaking his head, Xue Ling's gaze then fell on the sky on the north side where Duan Qing was staring: "I've been beaten so much, but I don't even know the reason for being beaten until now......
"Isn't that a bit too much?"
She crossed her waist and turned to the people around her and said in a calm voice, and then her long white hair was revealed a little along with the beautiful face full of iceberg temperament, which embellished the image of this woman with a bit of a leader's feeling. In the scene where the surrounding players were looking sideways, it was Duan Qing who took the lead in recovering the other party's face under the hood of the cloak with a wry smile, he beckoned to the other unknown people, and then led them along the muddy road to walk forward again: "Okay, it's not that there are ways and goals. β
"Since everyone is a player, we can naturally start with the player side." He pointed to the top of his head: "Who of you has been offline these days?" Did you find any news? β
"I've seen the sections of the principality and the sections of the major guilds, and there is only news of the negotiations between the principality and the empire, and the specific content of the negotiations is not mentioned at all." Asahi Dongsheng spread his hands when he heard this: "As for those idle players...... They incite others against the Principality on the forums every day, and they are not interested in fighting a war of words. β
"If we want to raise the bar, at least we have to have a bar that we can use to lift the bar." Wiping his wet cheeks, Duan Qingmo lifted his chin: "Since the outside is impermeable, you can only start from the people inside." β
"You're referring to the guy codenamed Cuong?" Pointing to the town hall that loomed in the rain at the end of the road where they came, the rising sun asked mysteriously, "Do you know him?" Where did he come from? β
"It's not that big, at most it's just a small guild leader belonging to the principality." Duan Qing waved his hand: "As for those who don't knowβ"
"It's a fateful friendship." He looked around him: "Of course, there aren't many people who have been friends who are still here, at most one Ning Lan once fought him one night in Tania......"
"It seems that this fateful friendship is really fateful." A conscious Gedmayne showed a familiar low smile: "What was the result at that time? β
"Chop, of course." Looking at the gaze that Ning Lan handed over with a smile, Duan Qing nodded and sighed.
"Chopped? Ha. So Asahi Dongsheng rolled his eyes with disdain: "What's there to be afraid of?" I thought I could have the strength of the rivers and lakes. β
"There are more top-level guilds in contact, so it's starting to get a little inflated?" Duan Qing squinted at the other party: "Let's not talk about whether people have grown during this time, we are not looking for him to cut him, but to inquire about information." β
"With the current situation and our status, it is extremely unlikely that we will ask for information." Xue Lingphantom Ice also pinched his chin and shook his head: "I have to think of another way to get close to him." β
"Do you know any acquaintances?" Asahi Dongsheng looked around left and right: "Aren't you from the former principality?" Find one and ask it, isn't it over? Or let them approach the ...... named Cuong instead of us."
"Of course, there is."
After a slight pause, Duan Qing's gaze then fell on the hazy rain curtain at the far end of the northeast: "It's just that I don't know if they are still active in Tania...... That's right. β
"How about getting Maggie in touch? She must be one of the snake snakes there. As if remembering something, he walked back and forth among the sparse people around him: "Where is she?" β
"Not to mention, we haven't seen her since we came here." Xue Lingphantasm replied helplessly: "I don't know when she played the trick of disappearing again......
"She went in the direction of Tania."
A mature and deep female voice then sounded in the ears of several people, accompanied by a purple-haired woman wearing the same black cloak, who walked slowly: "Judging by her preoccupied appearance, she probably just made up her mind to set off." β
"Violet?" Duan Qing let out a surprised voice: "Why did you come out?" Your injuriesβ"
"I'm not injured, and it's not something that can be solved by simply recuperating." The corners of her mouth pulled up slightly, and Violet's gaze then lingered for a moment on her arm hidden under the cloak: "It doesn't make much sense for you to leave me there, except for those fiery eyes, there is only time left to pass the time." β
"What about the Fallen Dream? Isn't he with you? Stretching out his head and looking behind Violet, Duan Qing's gaze also became ugly: "He won't run away too, will he?" β
"That guy was kind to me." Shaking her head, Violet's gaze became strange: "Hmm...... Or maybe that guy's dedication to me seems to have become a little more obvious? Do you adventurers do this when you ask for help? β
"Well, it's probably just his habit." The expression on his face became a little stranger, and Duan Qing smiled dryly and perfunctory the topic: "Of course, as long as you are a magician who has seen your true skills, there will be a little reaction like his......"
"Aside from you, I have no plans to continue accepting apprentices for the time being." Violet shook her head indifferently: "And I don't have that much time, I haven't started to build the magic camp in this place yet." β
"That's right, that's it!" As if he had finally remembered the crux of the matter, Asahi Dongsheng on the side hurriedly raised his fingers: "It's your spy stuff - if we can have them, can we get any information we want to find?" β
"I don't know what you're talking about, but it's not easy to set up a magical position." Violet looked at the great axe warrior with a slightly cold face: "And-"
"I'm not the only magician in this town, and I want to build a violet circle without permission...... I'm afraid the other party won't agree. β
As she said these words, she looked inexplicably at the street at the far end of the town where several people were, and an old man in a black dress with an umbrella on his head then turned his head with the help of a black-clothed guard behind him, and slowly disappeared into the depths of the path that everyone could not see.
*********************************
"Down, keep going...... Stop, that's it, the force should be used gently, and the flow of energy will often have problems at the point of this connection, so the place where the pen stops is especially important - well, so-so, with the results of the first stroke, your brushwork is already very standard. β
"Next, from here to here, be careful to bypass the middle node, otherwise the operation of the magic will be streamed......"
"Wait a minute, stop first, do you see that stone? It wasn't an ordinary stone, it was Ussurik's opal, and if it hadn't been discovered, its final operation would have been affected. β
"Here, put it at the junction of the south and the north, don't put it in the direction of eleven o'clock first, that's the base point of the clock rotation, that is, the switch of this magic circle-okay."
"The composition and formation of a magic array is almost like this."
Slowly lifting up the powder-stained pen he was holding in his hand, Duan Qing let out a long sigh of relief, he looked at the simple magic figure outlined on the ground with lines and gems in front of him, and then gradually closed the reminder voice belonging to Violet in his ear: "This time the wasted gems are counted as teaching materials, and you will have to provide them yourself next time." β
"Hey, aren't we drawing your magic circle?" So Duan Qing hurriedly issued his own protest: "Could it be that I am also responsible for this?" β
"You have to understand one thing - no matter how much I help you, this magic circle you have drawn will not be able to become part of my position." Pointing to the magic circle outlined by the colorful lines in front of Duan Qing, Violet's expression still maintained the unique majesty of the mentor: "This is not only because the magic array you drew is too rough, but also because this magic array is constructed using your magic power, which is not up to the standard I want to use." β
"Alright, alright, got it." Duan Qing, who raised his hands in surrender, said helplessly: "Anyway, this is still a teaching that uses your leisure time, right?" You really don't waste any chance. β
"After all, the situation we are facing is too severe, and your combat effectiveness level is still too low." Violet commented unceremoniously: "The value of that ancient disc is still too small, it will take a while to study it, and the only thing I can teach you now is a few small tricks that can take effect immediately...... Come. β
"Give it a try." She took a step back slightly, and then stretched out her hand to Duan Qing in front of her and gestured, "Look at how the physiognomy is." β
Nodding his head, Duan Qing then slowly closed his eyes, and then his arms stretched forward gradually resonated with the magic array in front of him with his own insignificant magical energy. The pale white light then slowly swirled between the lines of magic in front of her, and finally gradually changed to a bright yellow representing the earth element, and Violet, who was looking at all this, also quietly observed for a while, and then nodded her head with a little satisfaction: "Yes, I can't believe that this is the original work of a magic apprentice." β
"It's not my own work, after all, it was painted with your help." Duan Qing sighed and replied, "If I had come by myself, I wouldn't have been able to tell how shoddy this magic array would be...... Hey, why is it yellow? β
"That's your own color, and it's a good proof of your compatibility." Violet replied with a smile, "Congratulations, this anti-magic array, you can use it normally." β
"Let's hope it does its job." Duan Qing sighed slightly: "The magician of the principality you sensed...... He's supposed to be around, huh? β
"Don't worry, since I've arrived on the enemy's territory, I will still abide by the proper etiquette."
The body gradually hid behind Duan Qing, and Violet's voice began to become deeper and deeper: "Before the void energy in my body is completely dissipated, I won't make a move easily, so-"
"I'll leave it to you to deal with the affairs of outsiders."
She glanced at the figure that was approaching in front of the two men, and then lowered her head silently.
