"So you actually did it?"

After a while, in the hall of Taran Town, Her Royal Highness Princess Rena, who seemed to have just gotten up from her sleep, yawned a lot, completely ignoring the worried expression of outsiders present, and then accompanied her stretching movements, and lazily returned to Duan Qing, who was sitting across the table: "Really, was it the right choice for me to entrust you with the investigation task of the investigation team at the beginning?" ”

"It's all said that we didn't do it." Awakened from the royal temperament displayed by the other party's casual actions, Duan Qing coughed and clarified: "I can swear, we watched Pamir fall in front of us, we don't know who attacked him, but that guy shouldn't die easily." ”

"You mean to say that you stayed in the city to investigate the real culprit?" Smacking her mouth and holding her chin, Rena, turned her squinted eyes to Duan Qing's body: "And then there was such a big movement?" ”

"This, this ......" So a cold sweat began to flow out of Duan Qing's face: "Anyway, in short, I have also roughly introduced the following things, almost all of them are a collection of various accidents, that Miss Dragon Clan is very fortunate that she didn't kill us on the spot, not to mention that she helped us solve the threat of the entire city——"

"From the standpoint of the Frey Empire, if this city is destroyed, I don't have any opinion."

Duan Qing's words were interrupted in a flat voice, and Rena's eyes then became sharper: "If Tania really exploded into the sky because of you, the empire may instead put a great merit on your head." ”

"The current situation is almost no different from destruction." Looking at the silhouette of the distant city that was still emitting countless black smoke, Duan Qing pouted and replied, "And I'm afraid the empire doesn't want to see Prince Chris die in vain." ”

"Lost in vain?" With a disdainful smile on her face, Her Royal Highness Princess Rena lowered her emotionless gaze to the window where she was: "If it's for that reason, it's nothing for a younger brother like him to die in vain, what he did is simply the destruction of the imperial family's reputation, even if he can escape this catastrophe this time, his father will not let him go." ”

"Don't jump to conclusions, Your Highness." Duan Qing hurriedly persuaded: "You are also very clear about the current situation, the interior of the principality has been infiltrated to an unimaginable level, even if someone says now that all this was a fabricated fact, I am afraid that I will consider this possibility." ”

"So you're sure the Pamir you saw in the underground area is a fake?" Rena, who was holding her chin, turned her wandering gaze back to Duan Qing's body: "Why are you so sure?" ”

"Because I've got a glimpse of that man's past—this kind of nonsense is probably not very convincing." Shaking his head slightly, Duan Qing then showed an inexplicable smile: "The reason, probably because I have seen their methods before, and I know Pamir himself." ”

"You're right...... What did the Pamir himself know? Rena gradually showed an interested look: "How did you know so much about the Principality's Parliament?" ”

"Of course, it's because I've been in the Principality for a while." Duan Qing sighed and lowered his head: "At that time, I was using a different identity, and ...... I don't have a good relationship with him. ”

"I'm getting more and more interested in you."

The curled eyelashes fluttered up and down for a moment, and the pupils of Her Royal Highness Princess Rena gradually revealed a look of interest: "A man of the empire who was born in the village of Karlo, in the province of Santerus, actually traveled to the capital of the principality, and even established good relations with the Pamirs - this story sounds very strange. ”

"Speaking of which, the story should be closer to the truth." Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "Compared to what I want to say next, the adventurer's trip should be more acceptable." ”

“…… Please continue, I'm listening. ”

"The man who pretended to be Pamir in the underground area - it should be the guy named Menmorelo, he should be the mastermind of this incident."

After a period of silence to sort out his thoughts, Duan Qing then continued with a serious face: "Whether it is Pamir's assassination or Vincent's operation, it should be arranged by this guy, and its purpose is ...... It should be to provoke disputes between the two countries, so as to buy time for him and the organization behind him. ”

"As for this energy eruption in the underground world, it is most likely the result of his joint efforts with the Restorer's Neiying." He rubbed his fingers vigorously, as if he was trying to combine all the information in his mind as much as possible: "There should be more than one person who has the idea of that furnace, the restorer of the Magic Empire should want to use the leylines connected by the furnace to steal energy, that Liangchen Meiyu wants to take some of it for himself, and Menmorlo-"

"It doesn't matter to him what the result of these energies is." The gray-robed magician let out a sigh, "As long as it can be treated as a bomb, it doesn't matter how you detonate it. ”

"The Alliance of Destiny wants to destroy Tania?" Rena blinked her eyes, "Why are they doing this?" Does that do them any good? ”

"The motivation that triggers fate is not only driven by good, but also negative emotions." Duan Qing replied in a low voice, "For example, 'revenge', or ...... Pure destruction. ”

"He wants to destroy the entire continent - that should be his purpose." He then stated the shocking truth: "They have probably regarded all the forces on the continent as their enemies. ”

"Is there such an anti-human organization in this world?" Rena's expression gradually became serious: "Sounds even more terrifying than the original Magic Empire." ”

"The reason for this is probably also inextricably related to the Ancient Magic Empire." Duan Qing shook his head one after another: "Including the origin of this organization, as well as the origin of the city of Tania, the deeper reasons should still be waiting for us to investigate." ”

"But one thing is certain: Tania's presence is likely to be a huge stumbling block to their plans." He pondered for a while, and then continued to analyze with a little hesitation: "I once saw the future of world destruction in the Crucible, and there was a group of people who also worked hard to escape the catastrophe of the end until the last moment, what is the fate of that group of people, and what is the relationship between that group of people and the current Tania-"

"I'm afraid everything is connected."

He looked at Rena's face, as if he wanted to use the solemn atmosphere transmitted to the other party to increase his persuasiveness, and a few innocuous conversations then continued between the player and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of the Empire, and finally gradually dissipated into the air with the other party's wave and Duan Qing's departure. The busy scene after the war still appeared in all corners of this village, and Tania in the distance, which also showed a depressed atmosphere, was vaguely synchronized, and Duan Qing, who was staring at this scene, also yawned tiredly, and then Violet's low laughing voice came from his mind: "Are you lying?" ”

"Don't just talk in someone else's head, it feels like it's haunted." Touching the violet magic array on his chest that had been fused with himself, Duan Qing responded helplessly in his mind: "When I chose to keep this magic array, it was just to facilitate my actions, but I didn't think that there would be one more trouble in the future that could monitor me at any time." ”

"You think I have that penchant for voyeurism?" Violet replied with a chuckle in her voice, "If it weren't for the fact that you're an interesting person, I wouldn't have bothered to observe you at this juncture of repairing the leylines." ”

"Actually, it's because it's idle to repair the leylines!" Duan Qing let out a wail of disapproval: "It's not that I haven't experienced it!" After losing the freshness of the operation at the beginning, the rest is a boring depiction! ”

"How can you be a reliable archmage without enough patience?"

Fragments of magic began to appear on the other side of the call, accompanied by a retorting voice belonging to Violet: "Don't think that with good magic adaptability and advanced spell casting, you can do whatever you want, the mental cultivation of a magician is equally important, if a magician lies too much, his magic cultivation will inevitably go astray, didn't Wiggins teach you these truths?" ”

"So Wiggins taught me just some alchemy techniques."

Waving his hand at the two Lanshan players who were carrying the wounded back to the village in the distance, Duan Qing replied silently, "And those just now are all white lies, after all, I can't tell her everything I saw in the furnace, and I can't tell her the truths I have seen, in that case, maybe I will be kicked out at that time." ”

"If we can't continue to focus on the head of the Alliance of Destiny, we will all have to be played to death by them sooner or later." He added in a slow voice, while putting on a helpless expression in his heart: "Don't forget what happened to you in Tanzania, Your Excellency. ”

"Even if Chris was really manipulated as you said, no one would forgive him now." Violet then sighed in Duan Qing's heart: "From this point of view, their plan has been successful, and the confrontation between the empire and the principality has almost become a reality. ”

"Not necessarily."

His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Duan Qing then turned his gaze in the direction where Tania was: "If the fate I glimpse is a real situation, there is still someone who can solve this dead end." ”

"Are you talking about the Pamirs?" The Lord of Violet still operates his large rune circle in the middle of nowhere: "I have also searched for the whereabouts of the Speaker, and if he is really alive in this world as you say, then he may indeed come forward to become the one who can turn the tide." ”

"The troops of the other counties of the Principality should not easily help Tania, only these officers of the Talon County will lend a hand." Duan Qing shook his head and calculated: "Coupled with the people of Fars Fortress, our investigation team is still at an absolute disadvantage, and there shouldn't be much time left for us." ”

"If you don't want to be the enemy of the whole country, finding the Pamir is the most important problem to solve right now, right?" Violet then replied with some understanding, "Well, I will increase the search for the Thousand Eyes Array, and unless he dies in a disaster, I will definitely find him." ”

“…… Does your injury matter anymore? ”

"If there were any questions, you thought I would have made a quick move before?"

Quickly answering Duan Qing's concerns, Violet's voice carried a bit of smugness: "Without years of painstaking research, it is impossible for an ordinary great mage to release the 'Void Transfer' so accurately. ”

"No normal mage knows how to study void magic, do they?" Involuntarily complained again, Duan Qing then also showed a relieved smile: "But that's good, otherwise my companions and I will probably blame ourselves for a while." ”

"Your companions really care about you."

The voice from the other side was silent for a while, and then it became mature and casual again: "That Snow Spirit Phantom Ice has already decided to set off to support you before she even confirms your news, and the entire plan to attack the city gate and create a riot last night was also single-handedly pulled out by her. ”

"That adventurer is really decisive."

Following Violet's words, Duan Qing set his eyes on another village in the town not far from him, and the closed door also appeared around the house with a quiet atmosphere at this time, completely isolating the scene inside the residence from the outside world. Players tiptoeing past here pass by the door of that house from time to time, accompanied by the Imperial guards guarding both sides of the door, with extremely vicious eyes, if it weren't for Duan Qing watching Xue Lingphantom Ice and the others being sent in for treatment, Duan Qing might still think of this place as a prison for prisoners: "Anyway, the Duchy has really given up on this town." ”

"If I were to judge, you would be meat on the chopping block now." Violet replied unceremoniously, "No matter how you take advantage of the majesty of the Empire, the Duchy Army can crush you all at any time." ”

"It's okay, there's the Mage Council on it." Looking up at the Sky City above, Duan Qing replied in a relaxed voice: "And Tania's side is busy rushing to the rescue, where is the time to take care of the lives of our people, as long as the personnel are reunited and the team is reorganized, we can-hey?" ”

"That's not right!" Suddenly realizing something, Duan Qing suddenly returned his gaze to the resting house: "Are we missing one person?" ”

"Where's Ning Lan?"
