"That guy Gustan had already told me a lot of things when I was in Tania that day."

After a brief rest, Duan Qing sat with Xue Ling Phantom Ice again, but this time the person who enjoyed the meal was replaced by a former part-time nanny who was extremely weak: "According to his description...... People with powerful magical powers, under some chance circumstances, can indeed break through the shackles of space, and then enter the space similar to another world in a bath with enough energy. In the history of the free world, many people have claimed to have seen the sights of that otherworld, and those who once stood on top of the world, powerful enough to cross the shackles of space, have also been recorded by the weavers of fate. ”

"They call these people the children of destiny." He said in a deep voice, "And I...... They seem to have been put into this category. ”

"What's in that alternate dimension?"

"Fate."

As if remembering what someone had said before he died, Duan Qing's eyes moved to the night sky outside the window: "Although I don't know what other people see, what I see are chains that represent fate, and people with enough power...... It is also possible to break through the shackles of those chains and become their master. ”

“…… How could you go to a place like that? The woman sitting on the other side was silent for a while, and her eyes gradually revealed a curious light: "Really? ”

"The course of the Battle of Tania...... I should have made it clear to you before. Duan Qing's gaze shifted back: "At the last moment, I did cut off the fate of one of them, and he gradually disappeared from the memories of the others, and even Hossman, who was dying at that time, finally showed signs of vague memory......"

"In retrospect, it was a classic example." Duan Qing said in a low voice: "Although until now...... I don't know what the name of the final boss is. ”

“…… Did you suffer such a big loss that time? Xue Lingphantom Ice was silent for a while, and then suddenly changed the conversation: "This is also one of the so-called conditions?" ”

"Well...... It's not certain yet. ”

Duan Qing smiled weakly, and then gently picked up his teacup: "Count the previous Falling Star Mountain, and the first Jade Tower...... Every time something like this happened, there was a slight difference in the picture I saw, and I wasn't aware of it at the time, so I don't remember it very clearly, and the only similarities I could find were some details that had appeared when I entered that world......"

"Including that time in the Emerald Forest?" Xue Ling Phantom Ice interrupted Duan Qing's words again: "The journey we first met? ”

"Think it's impossible?" Duan Qing smiled weakly: "That was indeed our first meeting, I seemed to be only about level ten at that time, and now I want to ......"

"It was not only the first encounter between you and me, but also my first encounter with the Circle of Destiny."

Colored light, white mist, loud bells, black rings...... Inexplicably recalling these images in his mind, Duan Qing's voice fell silent again, and then under the gaze of Xue Ling's phantom ice, he exhaled a long breath: "Maybe it was painted with some strange symbol by the last explosion, since that incident, people who seem to be extremely mysterious have begun to converge on my side, Gustan, Kim, the woman in white, and later Shanaiduo...... If they hadn't known anything about what was going on, I would have thought they were the watchmen sent by the system to watch over me. ”

"It's like what happened to me in that world for the last time." Speaking of this, Duan Qing's voice sighed abruptly: "If it weren't for that swarthy robot that slapped me out like a fly, maybe I could save a few more unlucky guys......"

"According to your description...... Xue Lingbing whispered, "the words spoken by that cyborg are very similar to the design of a system program we once played. ”

"So I think a lot of the ruins in the free world have something to do with that thing." Duan Qing replied slowly, "The top of the Falling Star Mountain, the underground ruins of Tania, and the Talrond that we just found before...... That ancient remnant may have something to do with these ancient ruins left all over the world. ”

"You mean to ......" Xue Ling's brows furrowed slightly: "Those so-called weavers of fate are actually deeply related to Tadaya?" ”

"Not necessarily, after all, some of them know the history of the Old Magic Empire well." Duan Qing shook his head: "With such an ancient organization, they may be very knowledgeable about all the secrets of this world, considering what Oxen has done before and the power shown by Convina, some of them ...... You may know a lot about that world. ”

"If they weren't the original creators...... That Oxon, and the other gods of the Destiny Alliance, maybe just the people who covet that world? ”

"It's useless to hesitate here, it's better for us to ask me directly."

After a simple eye exchange, Duan Qing pressed his brow: "There is a ...... The person I just saved. ”

"She should be the best fit."

Ignoring the woman's warnings and protests, Duan Qing, who forcibly cheered up, dragged himself back to the game cabin again, and then after leaving a safe and sound reply to Mengzhu, he quickly returned to the free world, and the white light that had not changed much compared to before gathered again, and the game characters belonging to Duan Qing also appeared normally on the land of the Free Continent, he looked at the countless other players standing beside him, and then looked at the familiar city gate in front of him, and sighed a little helplessly: "...... Very good. ”

"Such a big wave...... It is estimated that all the players in the city have been filmed dead on the beach before. ”

Rumble!

A magical fire suddenly rose from the chaotic and noisy crowd, and then accompanied by the screams of several players, it was transmitted to the distance on the outskirts of the city, and Duan Qing, who was holding the hilt of the sword, looked at it, only to see that several players who originally belonged to the City of Freedom had already fought with the Wings of Freedom players who also died outside the city. The shouts of friends and friends then sounded one after another near the city gate, with countless chaotic shouts and killings reached the ears of more people, and in the temporary resurrection point that gradually became chaotic, Duan Qing, who was surrounded by it, pushed for a long time before rushing out of the shadows in the sky: "What kind of fight is there here......

"Don't you care about the city's safety now?"

He dragged his heavy steps, dodging the stray bullet attacks around him again and again, and then in a slow but firm footstep, he walked into the gate of Liberty City again, the tide that still did not subside mixed with countless scattered house fragments continued to flow at his feet, and then became more and more as he progressed and the number of players decreased, recalling that Duan Qing, who had been sent to the sky by the tsunami before, slapped his body with palpitations, and finally returned to the streets of the inner city canal in the sea water that only left the ruins: " There is still so much left of a tsunami of this magnitude......"

"The architecture of your Free City was pretty good at the beginning."

He turned his head and looked at the black aura that gradually spread from the side of the street, and then in the countless shadows that seeped out from under the water, he recognized a familiar figure: "Your Excellency Shadow Mage? ”

"I'm not the founder of Liberty City, everything here is designed ...... It has nothing to do with me. ”

As if floating above the waters of the Sky Water City, Shanai Duo, whose body moved sideways, fell his gaze under the veil on Duan Qing's body, and then after a period of floating, he gradually flew in front of Duan Qing: "Destroyed by natural disasters to become like this, I'm afraid this place also needs to be rebuilt, but even so...... I probably wouldn't be involved in anything that requires aesthetics. ”

"The tsunami you've brought on is powerful." She looked in the direction where the City Lord's Mansion was originally located, and then nodded slowly: "Those who have restored...... Maybe I'll thank you for what you've done. ”

“…… How did you find me? ”

"Now you are shining like a beacon on the sea, you don't have to look for it...... I can all find out about your existence. ”

After a slight observation of the surroundings here, and making sure that there was no one around, Shanaiduo then took off his black veil, then looked at Duan Qing's face, and blinked his eyes like a girl: "The weakness of the spirit is just the appearance of you in the eyes of others, in fact, you ...... The connection with the world is very weak, and this vague state is like a newborn child in front of us weavers. ”

"Fresh, pure, and unpredictable."

She looked at Duan Qing's face, and unexpectedly received an unexpected feedback from the other party's expression: "Even among adventurers, I have never seen this situation appear, which can only show ...... Your destiny of being born again has just been washed away by some force. ”

"Uh......"

With a strange expression on his face, Duan Qing quickly checked his system panel, and then raised his head hesitantly in the unchanged search results: "Really? But I didn't feel the slightest discomfort......"

"Don't worry, you're healthy now."

The wrinkled Shanaiduo bent his eyebrows, and the smile that was originally hanging on the corner of his mouth became more and more vigorous: "The scars on the body are easy to repair, just as you adventurers have done countless times, since you can still come to meet me at this time, you must be ...... now." It's already back to normal, right? ”

"In comparison, your mental scars are the most difficult to hide." Her smile faded: "If you don't get a good rest...... Next time, you might actually die. ”

"Real ...... Death? ”

It seemed that from the other party's previous words, he sensed the smell of non-NPCs, and Duan Qing cautiously asked, "What does that mean?" ”

"Nothing lasts forever."

Without directly answering Duan Qing's words, Shanaiduo's gaze gradually fell on the distant horizon, and then after a period of searching, he stopped his gaze on a special position: "Even if it is the life of an adventurer, it also exists according to the existence of certain laws, if you rashly break these laws, it is you who will be hurt in the end, this kind of injury is difficult to detect at first, but it is enough to erase your proof in this world, and this kind of judgment directly issued by the Circle of Destiny...... There is hardly any way to avoid it. ”

"This kind of problem is generally difficult to arise because not many people are able to break the shackles of fate." Her voice changed from serious to softened again: "I can be one of the people you choose when you break your fate...... It's my Shanna's honor, a child of destiny. ”

“…… Yes? ”

Standing in place for a long time, Duan Qing gradually digested all the words that Shanaiduo had said before, and then grabbed the back of his head and laughed: "That...... I was just handy, easy-going, and I didn't expect it to work like this at first......"

“…… Is it? ”

The smiling eyes gradually moved away from Duan Qing's body, and Shanaiduo put his gaze back on the place he had noticed before, and a black aura also rose from the sky of that place, and approached the location of the two people little by little: "Your modesty will not bring you any good, adventurer, my black magic hut has been destroyed, and there is no loot for you now, but ......"

"My gratitude remains."

She reached into her arms, slowly took out a bottle of potion, and then in the shroud of invisible energy, she greeted the direction of the approaching black shadow: "If you have to say it later, we need to deal with some trouble now, even if it is for this life that you reconnect with...... Now it seems like I should do something about it. ”

"Leave it to me."

She raised her head, drank the potion in her hand in one gulp, and then surrounded by the rising black aura, she sent Duan Qing behind her to the distance of Shuicheng: "Let you see ......"

"True power as an alchemist of the Council of Seven."

Boom –

The sound of the drumming wind diverged to all sides with the explosion of huge energy, completely covering Duan Qing's vision and hearing, and he was blown into the distance and forcibly struggled for a while, and then his eyes widened in the gradually clear vision - in the power of countless shadows that extended outward like branches, Shanai Duo, who had drunk a certain potion before, hung quietly in place, but the original wrinkled old face gradually disappeared with the divergence of this energy, and was replaced by a young and beautiful female face: "It's been a long time... … Convina. ”

"Since the goddess of fate has not taken back my silk thread, you probably ...... I can't take it. ”

Countless black shadows stretched out like a sudden storm, flying out with the graceful smile of a beautiful woman who had regained her youth, and then accompanied by the encirclement of intertwined silk threads, separating her position from Duan Qing's figure to both sides of the world.
