Since Duan Qing returned to this world, all his actions seemed to have become relaxed and casual, and the mental impact caused by the previous system operation seemed to have had a certain degree of impact on this gray-robed magician whose level had returned to zero, and even the few companions around him seemed to feel like he had changed as a different person. This realization lasted until the end of the conflict, when the Earl of Chuckner left with the edict of His Majesty the Emperor, and watched a group of people wait for the Lott to be sent away, he finally let go of his hands and gently put the recruiting card that he held on his chest on the ground: "Okay, I won't even give a chance to play now." ”

"I mean, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly remember recruiting people as soon as you came back? Touching the other party's head, Asahi Dongsheng asked everyone's thoughts with a strange face: "The change of the night before, I haven't seen you in person since then...... Did you also fall off the top of the mountain and accidentally break your brain? ”

"Guess what!" slapped the other party's hand on his head, Duan Qing pouted angrily: "I just want to experience what it's like to be the president, isn't this okay?" ”

"Isn't the boss of your Qingling Adventure Group this woman beside you?" Pointing to the white-haired woman on the side who did not change her color, the look of surprise on Asahi Dongsheng's face became a little more obvious: "You don't seem to be as powerful as Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, why do you suddenly think about seeking power and usurping the throne?" ”

"That's just a superficial phenomenon, do you understand the superficial phenomenon?" Duan Qing rolled his eyelids: "At the critical moment, haven't I always stepped forward to save everyone?" Although there was a little mistake on my side this time, in the end, I was saved by the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice......"

The slender and cold arm then blocked in front of him, interrupting him from what he wanted to continue, and the white-haired woman named Xue Lingphantasm Bing then crossed the gaze of several people, staring at Duan Qing's face with a calm gaze: "You want to quit, right?" ”

“……”

"You want to find a few more people to support this little adventure party while you're still around, and then leave the game in peace, right?"

Looking at the other party's silent face, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up Xue Lingyu Bing, and then said something that surprised the other two: "We've been together for so long, I'm too familiar with your every move, even when I was in the Fool Adventure Group before, I never saw you so enthusiastic about the guild business." ”

"Did that really hit you so hard?" She stretched out her hands and gently pulled back Duan Qing's unnaturally tilted expression to the side: "Aren't you able to support it now?" ”

“…… It's a good thing, at least it allows me to devote all my energy to recovery. ”

Ignoring the increasingly surprised eyes of the two around him, Duan Qing gradually showed a wry smile: "If it goes well, maybe you will be able to see me again in the near future." ”

"Don't lie to me with these nonsense, you won't tell me your true location."

Let out a low sigh, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who raised his head again, then put on a serious look: "Did you just retreat like this?" Just because the system put you together this time? ”

"It's not as simple as you think, and I'm probably on a different dangerous path right now." Duan Qing's eyes kept flickering: "This may be the punishment after using the sword too much, my current spirit is highly synchronized with the virtual system, if there is another overdraft phenomenon of that night, this result of being counter-invaded by the light brain may also happen again......"

"If your mental power is overdrawn, you can recover by resting, and we don't want to use the sword with side effects, so simply give up...... It's not like you are now. ”

The two faces gradually approached each other, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was staring at Duan Qing's eyes, then lowered his voice: "Even if you are occupied by the system again, there are so many companions and I who can rescue you again, whispering, Thousand Fingered Crane, these two guys standing beside you, and so many people waiting for you...... Don't you believe them? ”

"Have you given up those obsessions in your heart?"

It seemed to talk about the last weakness in Duan Qing's heart, the gray-robed man's body shook heavily, and the snow spirit phantom ice that sensed this vibration then let go of the other party's cheeks, and his eyes also showed a little relieved: "You never gave up on me when you were in the sky city, and the relationship between us has been dragged by you until now, with such a long distance and time, there should be no place that is not worthy of your trust and trust." ”

"If you have any questions, please tell me." She let go of her hand and took Duan Qing's arms: "I and the other few people who care about you will definitely come up with a solution—just like you've been doing before." ”

"Okay, okay, then I'll hold on a little longer." Duan Qing, who pursed his mouth helplessly, and didn't dare to look at the other party with his eyes, then had to reply in a low voice: "But I still have to sort out the solution a little, because the virtual system we are in now has subverted my previous cognition, and I am afraid it will be difficult to understand the secret in the case of isolating the spirit......"

"Then you can start with the difficulties we are facing now." Pointing to the streets around him that had become empty again and the gate of the Adventurers' Guild behind him, a relaxed smile appeared on Xue Ling's face: "For example...... We are now facing the problem of unemployment. ”

"The Adventurers' Guild is closed, how are we going to make money next?"

Following her gaze, several people followed Duan Qing's turned head and looked in the direction of the gate of the association, and the figure of the big shield belonging to Gedmayne then approached the next to the seals, and carefully attached them to the seals for a while: "The official text of the empire is also decorated with gold...... It seems to be true. ”

"Nonsense, everyone Lott has already admitted it."

Temporarily put aside those doubts in his heart, and then stepped forward with a disdainful expression: "Even if the nobleman just now can deceive the player, can he still deceive the NPC?" ”

"In other words, His Majesty the Emperor really wants to close the Adventurers' Association?" Turning his head, the expression on Gedmayne's face became more and more serious: "He really wants to cut off the roots of all our adventurers? Isn't that the opposite? ”

"Don't look at me like that, I don't know what the emperor is thinking right now." In response to the other party's eyes, Duan Qing spread his hands helplessly: "And I don't recommend going to him to question this matter now, at least I have to wait until the turmoil in the empire has subsided." ”

"That Tristan probably knew about this news a long time ago, so he handed us that olive branch, right?" A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and Xue Lingphantom Ice lowered his chin and said, "No wonder we are so sure that we will accept his proposal, it turns out that we have long known that the adventurer is about to be cornered." ”

"No way, who made President Amman suddenly decide to die?" Asahi Dongsheng shrugged helplessly: "Even a person of Caldera's status didn't end up well in the end, not to mention the imperial capital shaking that has been happening in the recent period......

"Anyway, I haven't asked yet, what has happened to the imperial capital recently?" Duan Qing turned his head to look at the faces of the rest of the people: "How many people have been deposed?" ”

"Known are Caldera, Ida, Collins, Amman...... Well, I was sentenced a lot. Asahi Dongsheng waved his hand impatiently: "This is just the news released on the surface, I don't know how many nobles have been implicated behind the scenes, in order to survive, many of the nobles who have been arrested have even confessed a large number of other crimes and accomplices......"

"Some members of the military have even been implicated, and the bigwigs are now having a headache." Gedmane, who turned his head, then spread his shoulders as well: "If it weren't for the fact that no one has lost their heads now, this imperial shock might be comparable to the tragedy many years ago." ”

"Even if they don't die, they will never have a chance to return to their original position." Asahi Dongsheng let out a few low laughs: "The new nobles will definitely have a lot of space to operate, and the entire aristocratic power of the Frei Empire will definitely undergo fundamental changes. ”

"I'm also disgusted with following that Tristan, but it's true that I should take advantage of this opportunity to get into the position." Gedmane moved his gaze to Duan Qing's head: "How is it, you two?" Are there any good suggestions and decisions? ”

"Well...... It's easy to say. Duan Qing replied meaninglessly, "But-"

"If I disagree now, will you two run to Tristan's offer yourself?"

He lowered his face and looked at Asahi Dongsheng and Gedmane with scrutinizing eyes, the latter also glancing at each other under the gradually cold gaze of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, and finally grinned a wry smile: "Don't say that, if we want to leave this team, we won't go out of our way to come back and ask for the opinions of the two of you." ”

“…… What about you? What's your opinion? ”

The atmosphere was silent for a moment as several people shut up in unison, and then the voice of inquiry belonging to Duan Qing echoed among the players with unnatural expressions: "Do you think it's better to maintain the status quo, or is it better to join that Tristan and become one of the Empire's thugs?" ”

"According to the nature of adventurers, it has always been our choice to remain independent and free." Gedmane replied in a low voice, "But now that the Adventurers' Guild has closed its doors, the player's finances and livelihoods have been fundamentally destroyed......

"Then again, where have all the players of the empire gone?"

Turning his head to look at his surroundings, Duan Qing asked shamelessly as if he had just noticed this problem, "Could it be that they already knew the news?" ”

"I don't know, but something else has happened here." Asahi Dongsheng replied with a gloomy face: "Several imperial nobles have come here with news of Amman, and everything that happened in the Imperial Capital Palace has been made public, along with the disposition of the president of the Adventurers' Association, although some players have questioned this, they still haven't stopped those people from tearing down the entrusted blackboard. ”

"All official quests were stopped at that moment, including most of the players who were active in the Adventurers' Guild." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, as if remembering the scene that happened here at that time: "This incident was later stabbed on the Internet, and was used by various imperial players to question the actions of the Alliance, although the Alliance responded with the 'non-interference statement' that it had declared a few years ago, but their calls did not stop there......"

"Don't you think the number of players in the imperial capital is plummeting? This wave is still blowing outside. Gedmayne on the side also pointed to the top of their heads: "For the sake of their own lives, they have spared no effort." ”

"The position that has been working hard for so long has been completely destroyed by a big chaos, and I won't easily recognize it." Duan Qing, who shook his head, let out a few low laughs: "However, the alliance's statement is not fake, they lost the ability to intervene in this world as early as the launch of the third-generation virtual technology. ”

"I don't think it's much of a use." Holding his arms, Asahi Dongsheng also leaned against the side of this Xiaosuo Street: "Instead of continuing to follow that group of people to continue to make trouble, it is better to find a way to solve your own livelihood." ”

"Do you have any good ideas?"

He turned his head and looked around at the other people present with an indifferent gaze, and the silence returned to the air between several people as his voice fell, and even the Xue Lingphantom Ice, who had spoken righteously before, temporarily lost his own voice at this time. The sound of slight footsteps then sounded behind the gray-robed cloth, accompanied by the back of Duan Qing who gradually moved to the other side of the street, he stopped firmly in front of the dilapidated house on the other side of the three-way intersection, and then asked in an inquiring tone to the Imperial people who were busy in front of one of the collapsed houses, "Excuse me-"

"Are the houses still rented out here?"

“…… Are you adventurers? ”

Stopping the work that was carrying the residue in his hand, the imperial worker looked up at the Adventurer Association behind Duan Qing: "Isn't the association here ordered to close down by the Empire?" What are you still dangling here? ”

"We've just heard the news, and we'd like to see if there's any other way to keep going."

With a hint of a smile on his face, Duan Qing gestured in the direction of the figures of the players behind him: "It looks like your house is also in a semi-destroyed state now......

"If you can rent it to us, we're willing to help you repair it for free, how about it?"
