1077 Sky Garden
Regarding this strange conversation with the head of the Date family, Duan Qing didn't understand the meaning until a long time later, and now they were only "invited" by the Date family in the early morning of the next day after a night's rest: "Okay, where is this place called the Sky Garden?" β
"Do you really want to take that guy's word for action?" Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side looked at the other party's face with sideways eyes: "I thought he would help us in Vlavos's face, but in the end, not only did he not do so, but he also drove us out like this......"
"At least they gave us a night to stay, which can be regarded as a benevolent and righteous duty." Duan Qing didn't care and took out his adventurer map: "Let me see...... It's already followed you around in such a big circle, but the adventurer map of the imperial capital is still not completely recorded. β
"Come with me, I've heard of the Sky Garden." Sighing helplessly, Xue Lingphantom Ice then turned around and walked towards the front of the street: "If I'm not mistaken......"
"It should be a cemetery."
The fluttering movements gradually blended into the crowd that filled the streets as the two men set off again, mixed with the drunken wandering of the streets of the revelers from the city who had not yet had the fun of the night, and then the two people, who tried to avoid these drunkards and troubles, also pulled Violet like a puppet to follow behind them, and slowly walked towards a sparsely populated place northwest of Redcar: "What about Sunrise and Gedmayne?" β
"Probably because the place of rebirth was destroyed, and now I don't know where to die."
Pushing aside the clutter of weeds that were gradually beginning to grow on the side of the road, the voice of the snow spirit phantom ice around him replied casually, "The destruction of a tavern like this is relatively rare in the free world. β
"Sure enough, if you live for a long time, you can see anything." Then Duan Qing, who came forward, calmed down his aura that seemed a little disordered due to long-term exercise: "And are they really dead?" Just because of that fire? β
"I don't have their contact information, and this matter is no longer verifiable." Answering these words, Xue Ling's eyes roamed back and forth on the edge of the overgrown clearing in front of the three people: "And I don't have the slightest interest in their lives or deaths, if they really don't come back, I will only clap my hands now...... Not. β
"Here we are."
Her gaze finally stopped at a certain location, and she stretched out her finger and looked back at Duan Qing's face at the same time: "Na, that's the place." β
"It's so lonely." Looking at the sparse and cluttered corners of the open space lined with tombstones and the scene of almost no people, Duan Qing replied with a sigh: "It's so far from the grand city scene we just saw." β
"Every city in the free world can find a place like this, and you don't have to pretend you don't know anything." Xue Lingphantom Bing crossed her waist angrily: "And the nobles of the imperial capital have their own family cemeteries, and the cemetery here is often buried by small nobles or commoners of the empire who are not cared for. β
"No wonder you can't even see a manager." Slightly tidying up his gray robe, Duan Qing's face became more and more solemn as he walked forward: "Well, since those big people don't have much time to ......."
"Let's do our part for them."
The three or two figures that were gradually overwhelmed by the weeds continued to walk back and forth between these messy tombstones as time passed, and from time to time there were strange eyes projected by a few passers-by who happened to pass by here, but the weeds that were about to catch up with half a person tall began to become less and less with the actions of Duan Qing and the others, until they were all cleaned up in the process of Duan Qing and the others sorting and cleaning. Panting and straightening his waist, Duan Qing, who was slightly lacking in physical strength, took the lead in throwing the grass roots that he had pulled out in his hands on the ground, and then sat down next to one of the tombstones without caring in the sneering eyes of Xue Linghuanbing next to him: "No, no, this time you win." β
"Is this still the invincible swordsman from the beginning?" Raising his sword, he slashed across another corner full of weeds, and the figure of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice then disappeared into the shadow of the corner: "Now it's so difficult to even clean? β
"One life is one life, since I am a magician now, I have to accept the weak physique that belongs to magicians." Duan Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead: "And if I hadn't allowed the alchemy potion to be used, I would have cut it all down with a bottle of Wind Blade Elixir." β
"Aren't you afraid of damaging these tombstones?" The warning voice of the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice then sounded in the distance that Duan Qing could not see: "You said that you would sweep the tomb first, but now you have to use such violent means...... Not. β
The cold voice stopped in mid-air, and she seemed to have found something, and then stopped her gaze in a certain direction of this cemetery, and then reminded the other party in a voice that only Duan Qing could hear: "Look." β
"That's probably why the head of the Date family asked us to come here."
Looking at the scene of the purple-haired woman who had been standing next to her inexplicably standing in front of a certain tombstone at this time, Duan Qing wiped his nose: "It's not that people haven't noticed the Violet Lord who has been following us, but they have already figured out how to answer one of the questions we want to ask...... Walk. β
"Let's see whose resting place this is." In the scene where the two men quietly approached, it was the gray-robed magician who took the lead in extending his hand to wipe the surface of the dilapidated tombstone: "732-759, Fra Roel...... Fura? β
"Another impressive name." He repeated the account he had seen on this tombstone, and the gaze contained in his eyes became deeper and deeper with the precipitation of memories: "It turns out that I was buried here in the end." β
"If you look at the age, this lady seems to have been very young when she died." Glancing in the direction of Violet, who had not spoken, Xue Ling's voice became much lower: "And this surname...... He is the heir of the Roel family. β
"The family you introduced before?" With a slight sigh, Duan Qing immediately turned his gaze to the direction they were coming from: "That collapsed family...... What happened to the last people? β
"Dead, of course." Saying this expected painful answer, Xue Lingphantasm replied expressionlessly: "It's just that with the status of the Roel family at that time, those who died should be treated as due to the nobles of the empire, but this lady was buried in this place......"
"No matter how you think about it, you think there's a problem."
The indescribable silence diffused next to this tombstone as the words fell, and the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Xue Lingxuan Bing who gradually knelt in front of that tombstone were particularly obvious, they looked side by side at the names marked on the tombstone in front of them, and only after a while did they put a white flower that they had prepared before on the stone platform in front of them. The body standing in place finally reacted a little, and the purple-haired woman who had not made any movement finally knelt down in front of this tombstone slowly with the memorial action of Duan Qing and Xue Linghuanbing, and her originally slightly sluggish and dazed expression was also accompanied by a few teardrops, which intersected with Violet's action of gradually bowing her head: "......"
"Please rest in peace."
Slowly said these three words, Duan Qing, who had a serious expression, then quietly stepped aside, he looked at the back of the great magician in the black cloak with his hands clasped in front of his chest and standing still, and some thoughts that had already reached his lips were also forcibly pressed back by himself: "It seems that it is another sad story." β
"Violet's last name...... When she was in Tanzania before, she had mentioned it herself. Xue Ling's Phantom Ice voice quietly came from Duan Qing's side: "I remember it's called Roland, right?" β
"It's Violet M. AD Roland, this is the name that the system gives recognition. As if afraid of disturbing the mourning of the woman in front of her, Duan Qing lowered her voice and replied, "We have always doubted her relationship with the Roland family because of this, but now it doesn't seem that simple. β
"Could it be that Violet is from the Roel family?" Xue Lingphantom Ice also guessed: "The orphan of the Roel family? Escaped from the joint strangulation of His Majesty the Emperor and the nobles of the Empire? β
"NPCs in the free world tend to lie about their own backgrounds."
Putting away his mournful expression, Duan Qing's brows furrowed tightly with his thoughtful tone: "It is possible that they will hide their identities when they introduce themselves, or use false past to deceive us, so that we can do things for them without knowing whether they are right or wrong......"
"The previous great magician probably wanted to use such a routine, but we just noticed it." Speaking of this, his voice paused slightly: "But no matter how much she makes up her lies, the name from the system prompt should not be faked." β
"Including those memory fragments you see β they're all system-certified, aren't they?" Snow Spirit Phantom Ice also showed a thoughtful expression: "Then this Violet Β· A.D. Rowland ......"
"Having said that, the Roland family should be one of the two most decorated families when the Frey Empire was established." Duan Qing's voice sounded in her ears at the right time: "Judging from the strength of that Lola Roland, they should also have enough capital to walk sideways in the empire now......"
"Why didn't I see you on the way before?"
He looked at Xue Ling's face, and his expression gradually became weird, and Xue Ling, who also thought of some kind of abnormality, also widened his eyes, and after a while, he clapped his hands as if in a trance and said, "Yes, shouldn't the Roland family be located in the middle of Nobilite Street?" It's the spot we passed yesterdayβ"
"We only hear from you when we pass by the sights and monuments, and of course the famous nobles." Duan Qing's face also showed a strange expression: "This can be missed by you, it can only mean that we really didn't see anything about the Roland family at that time." β
"Am I mistaken?" Xue Lingphantasm pressed his head: "But I do remember that there is an ordinary gray gate there, and the walls around it are very easy to recognize......
"If you have a chance, let's go back and take a look, maybe it's because they've moved." Saying such comforting words, Duan Qing, who patted the other party's shoulder, immediately pinched his chin: "But if that's the case-"
Looking at the ground in front of him for a while, he looked up again at the scene around the sky garden, his gaze swaying back and forth with the bleak wind that kept blowing through the place, and finally began to pass through the surface of the other tombstones again and again as he stood up: "Corylan Farouk, 727-759......"
"Visagi, 733-759......"
"George Clumbia Panson, 699-759."
"Darren Victor, 741-759."
The hesitant voice became more and more resolute as the recitation continued, Duan Qing's gaze stayed on the surface of the chaotic tombstones in this cemetery again and again, and the regular voice then also attracted the attention of Xue Linghuan Bing, and a slightly surprised look also appeared in front of those tombstones with the sound of hurried footsteps: "All 759 years? β
"Isn't this a cemetery?"
Slowly turning his head, Duan Qing pointed to the last tombstone on the edge of the clearing and said, "How come all the people buried are dead in an era?" β
"I, I don't know." Xue Lingxue Ice forcibly steadied his breathing, which seemed a little short of time because of his surprise: "What happened in 759, players don't seem to have mentioned it in the Empire's search history......"
"Write it down, and another secret is born that needs to be verified."
With a helpless sigh, Duan Qing finally pulled his eyes out of the surface of these tombstones in front of him: "Originally, I just wanted to find out if there were any people from the Roland family who were buried here, but in the end, I found a whole set of good brothers who lived and died together...... Well? β
The voice of the complaining suddenly stopped, and Duan Qing's perceptual eyes suddenly turned from the direction where the snow spirit phantom ice was located to the front of the two people, and gradually became surprised to gaze on Violet, who was kneeling in front of Fura's tombstone, and there were also disordered syllables sung by her unique deep voice. It was uncertain whether the syllables were actually uttered by the purple-haired woman, who couldn't even speak completely, and the two of them cautiously approached behind each other, and the posture and movement of raising their weapons together slowly lowered in the hesitation between each other, forming this vague syllable into a sad and tactful hum: "I thought she was using some magic......
"It's singing."
