"Teaming up?"

As if he was a stunned passer-by who was suddenly stopped on the road, Duan Qingfang, who hesitated for a long time, asked out loud: "In this place?" I? ”

"Yes, yes, yes, you are you."

Jumping happily, the player's originally cautious tone gradually amplified a lot: "We are currently lacking a mage in our team, you should be a mage like this, right?" And a master! ”

"Hehehehehehe." The corners of Duan Qing's eyes twitched slightly: "Let's not talk about my level...... Where do you see I'm a master? ”

"Look at your equipment, look at your calm look."

Pointing at the gray magic robe on Duan Qing's body and the face with the crooked corners of Duan Qing's mouth, the voice of the person praising Duan Qing was almost familiar to an impressive degree: "The most important thing is ......"

"You're the one who deals with the magicians in the Violet Tower." He pointed in the direction of the iron door that Duan Qing had just walked out of, "We've all seen it." ”

Following his fingers, Duan Qing's gaze then fell on the location of the gate he had walked out of before, and his gaze, which was originally a little helpless because he was "invited" out of the tower by the other party, was also placed next to it at the next moment, and a player who rushed forward stopped the two figures of another suspected magician player: "You ......"

"What are you doing here?" He turned his head back: "Is it specifically here to stop people?" ”

"Uh, that...... Because there are a lot of mage players here. ”

Turning back to the other side of Violet Avenue, the player named Nutcracker explained with a smile: "The Violet Tower is a landmark in Tanzanian City, and it is also a place that every mage player here yearns for, and there are countless mage players who come to Santerus Province specifically to visit and do tasks every day, and most of them will definitely pass through here, so ......"

"So you guys who need teammates are running here every day to block people?"

Pointing to the distant side of the street where there were still groups of spies-like players, Duan Qing patted his forehead: "Do you need to work so hard?" Wizards are hard to find nowadays? ”

"After the last war, the number of mages in the free world has increased a lot."

Signaling towards the distance of the blue sky and white clouds, the walnut rakshasa then turned his gaze back: "But...... It's not so easy to find good mage players. ”

"I'm a little embarrassed that you're so quietly praising people." Duan Qing grabbed his hair: "And...... Are so many people squatting here doing tasks? ”

"Everyone's tasks may be different, but everyone's needs are the same."

Raising one of his fingers, the Walnut Rakshasa said excitedly: "As long as you can help us solve the problem, the reward and reward are easy to say...... What do you think? ”

“…… Let's start with your expedition. ”

After looking back and forth between the Violet Tower behind him and the group of people on the other side of the street, Duan Qing sighed a little helplessly: "I'll decide after listening to your mission, how about it?" ”

"Ah, that's right."

Pulling the other party to the side of the street, the Walnut Rakshasa who cut off those envious eyes then explained very quickly: "We received an anonymous assignment a few days ago, the client wanted us to go to the ruins of the Kanna Forest to retrieve a family's lost wooden box. The client was not satisfied with it, and said that he couldn't open the magic mechanism of the box, so he gave us a follow-up task, hoping that we could hand over the opened wooden box to him. ”

"He specifically instructed us not to look at what was inside the wooden box." Speaking of this, his voice deepened again: "We just need to hand him the wooden box after opening, otherwise...... All remuneration is non-negotiable. ”

“…… Strange task. So Duan Qing also nodded: "Then what does it have to do with magicians?" ”

"The people in our team have also confirmed with the Adventurers' Guild and want to talk to the client in person."

Whispering this, a player named Nutcracker quietly paid attention to the movements left and right: "This kind of bypassing the Impostor's Guild and directly contacting an anonymous client was originally prohibited, but we still used some means to investigate, and later clues showed ...... That client may not be a member of that family at all, nor the owner of the box. ”

"The owner of this box belongs to a family that is probably one of the ancient remnants of the Frey Empire, and all the people in the family are dead." He said excitedly: "There may be an ancient relic hidden in the box, a secret treasure that belongs to that family. ”

“…… So? Duan Qing's voice also paused slightly: "You want to keep this box for yourself?" ”

"We, we haven't discussed it yet." The player laughed dryly: "After all, the bounty given by the Adventurer Guild is also very attractive, enough for a few of us to share, although, although ......"

"You're curious about the secret behind this box, right?" Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "Say, how to open this box?" ”

"We haven't fully explored the ruins of the Kanna Forest, and we've heard that it was once the family's residence."

With an excited smile on his face again, the player named Rakshasa Walnut continued to whisper, "These are also what we heard from other sources, and intelligence sources indicate that the secret of uncovering this box is likely to be there. ”

"Kanna Forest."

Opening his adventurer map, Duan Qing's gaze then fell on a green piece of land in the northeast corner of the territory of Santelius Province: "Let's not talk about the distance that seems so far away...... Are you sure you can solve the problem of this box by running to that place? ”

"Sure, sure." The player immediately patted his chest with an oath: "We've died there many times, and we're most familiar with that place, and you can see the adventurer map records we left behind, here, here, and here...... There are magic traps blocking the roads here, and secrets must be hidden behind them! ”

“…… Alas. ”

Looking at the other party's appearance looking at him with an expectant gaze, Duan Qing pressed his forehead again: "Do you have some deviations in your understanding of the profession of magician?" ”

“…… Yes? The Walnut Rakshasa blinked his eyes: "What, what's wrong?" ”

"Magic traps and magic seals are very high-end things, and ordinary magicians don't have the ability to open them."

Turning his head and pointing to the huge magic array that was constantly surrounding the Violet Tower across the street, Duan Qing smiled in a low voice: "If it is really as you described, there are mechanisms or seals left over from the time of the Ancient Magic Empire, not only does it take an extremely high level of magic to unlock them, but the player's understanding of the magic theory in this game world must also be very high. ”

"This ......"

"Let me decipher something similar to these magic circles that surround the outside of the Violet Tower? No kidding. ”

Waving his hand at the player who was stunned, Duan Qing, who had turned around, walked towards the far side of the street: "You don't look at how many levels of magician I am, what I'm good at is also the most cumbersome earth-based magic, let me do these things......"

"Wait, wait!" His footsteps were then stopped again by the player: "No, how can you do it without trying, let's try it first." ”

"Don't try, just go and ask Gao Ming, I have other things to deal with, I don't have time to go so far with you......"

"I, I've been squatting here for days." The player's voice said urgently, "You, you just go and try it, just try it!" First, how about paying 5,000 gold coins first? You can pick and choose any loot and relics in the ruins......"

"It's impossible to go, it's impossible to go in this life." Duan Qing waved his hand resolutely: "The matter in the Violet Tower has not been resolved yet, and there is still someone waiting for me at home...... Not. ”

His gaze suddenly stopped on the epaulettes on the side of the anxious player, and the action he originally wanted to struggle to leave then slowly stopped, and the arms that were originally entangled were slowly lowered with the staring eyes, and finally fell on the other party's shoulders together with Duan Qing's inquiry: "You...... Which guild are you from? ”

"Guilds?" The Walnut Rakshasa who was stared at by the other party then reacted: "Ah, you mean the adventure group, right, our leader has always called ourselves the adventure group, and the name guild is not used much......"

"Don't talk nonsense." Duan Qing asked in a heavy tone, "The name of the adventure group." ”

“…… Fools. ”

After a slight pause, the player replied with a dry smile on his lips, "Fool Adventure." The name is, isn't it stupid, ahahahaha......"

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

"Boss! Corn Boss! I've brought someone here! ”

Some time later, in the northwest corner of Tanzania City, in a certain house on Tanger Street, a player named Hu Tao Rakshasa screamed and pushed open the door of this place, and at the same time pulled his own shout in with Duan Qing's body: "This Violet Tower magician is willing to help us!" ”

"Have you finally found someone?"

Three or two players sat scattered near the table, chair and bench, and a black corn covered with magic engraved armor stood up with a long knife: "Hmm, I'll take a look......"

[You have received a team application from the player Black Corn, do you accept it?] 】

Before he could recover from the rather familiar ID and the rather familiar figure, such a system prompt suddenly popped up in front of Duan Qing, and the original mixed feelings were abruptly interrupted by a thick voice from there in the next second after acceptance: "It's only level ten?" Isn't this the level of just out of the novice village? What's the use of you pulling in a magician like this? ”

"Huh? But, I saw him come out of the Violet Tower, and he was greeted by the Violet Mages......"

"There is no warm farewell, at most I am just invited out."

Shaking his head helplessly, Duan Qing, who had collected his mood, then walked into the house in two steps: "But...... It was this guy who explained the situation to me and dragged me abruptly. ”

"Hu-Tao ——!"

The angry voice belonging to the black corn then suddenly lengthened in Duan Qing's ears: "You stupid! Is it okay for you to have a little bit of IQ? Not to mention going to the street to pull a magician, even if I use my own magic equipment to break those magic seals myself, maybe I am better than this guy! ”

"I didn't say I was going."

The sound stopped the black corn from pulling the walnut rakshasa who begged for mercy over, and Duan Qing then sighed helplessly: "I don't have time to go so far away, follow him...... It's just a matter of looking at the situation again. ”

"What?"

Widening his eyes, the black corn that put down Hu Tao's collar turned to stare at Duan Qing's face: "Take a look at the situation?" Where do you think this is? Is Black Corn a new player when I'm black? I'm telling you, Lao Tzu ...... when he was young"

"I know, I know."

Stretching out his hand to stop the other party's next familiar long boast, Duan Qing then simply sat down on the long table in front of the other party: "I'm the ...... The Hu Tao kid took a lot of effort to invite him, and you don't want his efforts to be in vain, right? ”

“…… I don't want our efforts to be in vain. In the scene of the two players gradually approaching, the unkind-faced Black Corn also sat on the other side of the table: "In my experience, it is almost impossible to take you to complete this task. ”

"That's why I won't go."

Spreading his hands, Duan Qing then grinned at the other party: "Besides...... This is not the only solution to this problem, right? ”

“…… What else is there to work around? ”

"Take out the box and I'll take a look."

Ignoring the other party's staring at him, Duan Qing's gaze then turned to the head of the Walnut Rakshasa, who disappeared into the back of the house with a whoosh after receiving the wave of his hand from the black corn. A wooden box with a simple shape but stained with dirt then appeared on the wooden table after a period of time, and at the same time, several people stared at Duan Qing's vigilant eyes, and the black corn on the table with one arm then raised his head and tapped the box in front of him with his chin: "Linyuan is out of water, right?" I warn you—"

"Needless to say, I still know the rules."

Slowly reaching into his arms, Duan Qing then placed several vials of potions of various colors on the table in turn: "Let me see, hmm...... It doesn't seem to be locked in a physical way, the magic structure seems to be very complicated, there is an elemental confinement, two layers of ice crystal matrix......"

"You, what are you going to do?" Black Corn gradually widened his eyes: "You, are you ......?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce it again."

Without raising his head, Duan Qing picked up the two bottles of different colors in the row of potions with his fingers, and while raising them in the air, he slowly converged to the top of the wooden box: "In addition to the profession of magician, I am also an alchemist. ”

"Let me see if I can use alchemy to unlock the shackles of this wooden box for you."
