"Hahaha! You did it! You actually did it! ”

In the chaos that seemed to have no sign of happening, the little thief who suddenly retreated to the side then let out a rampant laugh: "It's a good relationship, isn't it?" You like to rely on power, don't you? Look at Lao Tzu if you don't kill you this time! ”

"What happened?" A trace of doubt flashed in his nervous eyes, and Duan Qing, who blinked, then fell his gaze on the Thousand Fingered Crane behind him: "Did I do something wrong just now?" ”

"Castle in the Sky is also now a neutral city, and it also has its own protection system to ensure peace and security in non-combat areas." Retracted his arm, and the red-haired Thousand-Fingered Crane had an ugly expression on his face: "This place is not allowed to be done easily, and I forgot to explain this to my eldest brother before." ”

"Especially for magicians."

The invisible energy shrouded Duan Qing and the others with the appearance of these words, accompanied by the emerald green light that gradually appeared on the surface of the rocks scattered in the garden, and the originally tense air also became heavier with the appearance of this energy, falling on Duan Qing and the Thousand Fingered Crane like tight shackles: "Magic Imprisonment Array? ”

"It's a magic confinement circle with an energy suppression effect." Holding Duan Qing's arm, the Thousand Fingered Crane's voice became as difficult as her complexion: "Magic below level five will lose its original effect under this confinement, and magic above level five will also be forcibly suppressed at level five and reduced to a level where it is completely impossible to play normally......"

"That's right! That's right! Now you're all a bunch of trash! ”

Waving his dagger in a majestic manner, the Foundation King, who was standing at the entrance of the garden, then showed a triumphant face: "A magician who has lost his magic is not as good as a biting turtle in the wild of the Talon Plains!" Even if you are a novice who has just left the novice village, I'm afraid I can hack you to death with one sword, right? ”

"Why is this guy still so energetic?" Standing up straight, Duan Qing looked at the other party indignantly and complained, "Isn't he the one who made the first move?" Why didn't he have anything at all? ”

"Because the city in the sky is a city controlled by the Council of Mages."

Shaking his head with pity, as if he had already won the foundation, the king shook his head and walked in front of the two people: "Since most of the people who hold power are magicians, then the ban in this city is naturally also aimed at magicians, otherwise those powerful members of the mage council, wouldn't they be free to bully us civilians?" ”

"That's the fairest thing about the system! It's our sanction against you high-flying guys! He gestured at his weapon, and then slowly handed it to Duan Qing's face: "Losing the protection of magic is simply a blessing for us civilians." ”

"It's also good news for people like you." Looking at the crowd around him who were still fighting, Duan Qing replied with the corners of his mouth twitching, "Those exaggerated expressions that I showed before were also deliberately trying to attract me to do it?" ”

"The trigger of the ban is signaled by offensive magic." The dagger slapped on Duan Qing's face, and the King of the Foundation, who had a sneering smile, suddenly crossed his hands: "What? Regretted it? ”

"It's okay, the next time you meet again in this city, you'll have plenty of a chance to taste the beauty of this rule."

The gray dagger reflected an obscure light in the air, and slashed straight towards Duan Qing's face, and the terrifying cold light stopped the next moment when it was only a little distance away from the gray-robed magician's pupils, accompanied by the arm connected to the dagger that was grabbed by Duan Qing at some point. The smile on his face slowly froze, and the foundation king, whose expression began to become embarrassed, then shook his shoulders vigorously, and the result of not being able to draw the dagger at all then also made his originally proud eyebrows become jerky, and even those eyes full of anger slowly widened: "What, what? How could you-"

"Who says magicians have to hit people with magic?" The expression of difficulty and weakness quickly disappeared, and a strange smile appeared on Duan Qing's face: "Speaking of which, I can be regarded as adding a lot of strength points, although I am not as good as those top professional players, but it is more than enough to deal with someone like you." ”

"Strength?" Still not breaking free from the clamping of Duan Qing's hands, the Foundation King's face then showed a look of disbelief: "Could it be that you, a novice who doesn't know anything, have added all the points you get from upgrading to your strength?" ”

"How is it possible, who are you looking down on?"

Putting on a reassuring smile towards the Thousand Fingered Crane behind him, Duan Qing, who gradually unfolded his posture, replied coldly: "No matter how stupid you are, it is impossible to give up your dignity as a magician, but-"

"Why should I tell you such a secret?"

Feeling the more and more obvious power coming from his arm, the Root King, who gritted his teeth, then also gave up the action of continuing to struggle, and his originally short body then sank abruptly under Duan Qing's unexpected gaze, driving two knife lights that appeared on the tips of his toes to cut through the front end of the gray magic robe that was close at hand. The shattered piece of cloth then rose in mid-air with Duan Qing's backward movement, and then was drowned by the dagger shadow thrown away by the Foundation King again, he roared and jumped up from the spot, and the surface of the gray dagger began to flash with an incomparably deep metallic light: "Mirror light reflection!" ”

"Shadow Thorn—"

The dagger that suddenly became bright lit up the surroundings for a moment, and then froze in front of the gray-robed magician in the strange arc of two large hands, and the dark shadow that sprang out like a poisonous snake did not seem to break through the capture of these hands, and it was once again turned back into the posture that was tightly bound in place before: "Hey, who made you move?" ”

"You, you!"

I don't know if it was because of anger or fear, the foundation king, whose lips trembled, didn't say a word for a long time, and the two sharp blades installed on his feet then helped him get rid of the cycle of clamping in place again, and the intention of rushing forward for the third time also became hesitant: "You, what kind of trick are you?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I've practiced the ability to catch a white blade empty-handed." Maintaining the posture of facing the other party, Duan Qing's hands slowly but regularly swiped back and forth in the air: "Of course, the real entry blade is to confiscate your weapon together, and in order to pursue stability, I have no choice but to settle for the next best thing and choose your wrist as the target object." ”

"You, you fart!"

The figure that was moving around at high speed seemed to have stumbled, and the eyes of the thief named the Root King, who originally wanted to find an opportunity, also changed: "How come I have never heard of this kind of ability?" You must have used some special props, right? ”

"That's right, I'm still an alchemist." Duan Qing spread his hands indifferently: "Maybe I even drank a bottle of strength potion, do you believe it or not?" ”

"I didn't plan to deal with you seriously, but you forced me."

The arc of the dagger flashed in front of him, and a ruthless look flashed in the eyes of the Foundation King, who was sluggish for a moment: "Don't think that you can really do whatever you want with a few hands and three feet of cat kung fu, if you want to kill you, I have a way." ”

"Prepare to die." He stabbed forward, his figure shining as bright as gold and iron under the gaze of the surrounding players: "Mirror Image—"

"Stop!"

A coquettish cry echoed in the air that gradually became tense when the distance was widened, and countless tense eyes pulled towards the clear sky, and a female phantom image gradually appeared against the blue background of the total prohibition of magic, and the two sides who were about to fight together again were frozen in place with a floating posture like a fairy: "The city in the sky is forbidden to fight!" Why is the ban violated? ”

"You, you are?"

Looking at the phantom of this woman wearing a white garland on her head and dressed completely different from the inhabitants of the Free Continent, Duan Qing, who had put on a melee posture, couldn't help but be stunned in place, and the little thief who was also stunned then hurriedly put away his weapon, and quickly waved his hands with a panicked expression mixed with a dry smile: "The guardian spirit actually appeared in person?" That, that-"

"It's them!" He pointed his two swinging hands in the direction where Duan Qing was: "These two magician scum have occupied this garden for no reason, and they have also attacked us with magic!" The Guardian Spirit must punish them severely! ”

"You-" So the woman floating in the air turned her scrutinizing gaze to Duan Qing's body, and her brows, which were originally furrowed because of seriousness, became a little sluggish the next moment: "You-who are you?" ”

“…… I'm on the edge of the abyss. ”

In the atmosphere where time seemed to have stopped, the gray-robed magician quietly stared at each other with a complex gaze mixed with surprise, surprise and relief and the phantom floating in the air, Duan Qing, who put away his posture and movements, then pushed away the red-haired girl who wanted to remind him in a low voice, and then lowered his head slowly and deeply: "I'm sorry to disturb your peace." ”

"Miss Aina."

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

"So the defense system of Sky City is all supported and led by her?"

After a period of time, below the Sky City, on the corner of the city street that belonged to the edge of Tania City, Duan Qing, who had just walked out of here, put away the deep memory in his eyes, and at the same time took off the hood on his head to shield himself from the autumn wind: "How much of the city does she master?" ”

"We don't know." Thousand-Fingered Crane, who also walked out of this corner and lowered his hands, bowed his head and replied, "Ever since our Mage Council settled in Sky City, we have met with this virtual image from time to time, and she seems to be reluctant to meet us directly, and she is not willing to communicate with us too much. ”

"However, when there is strife and chaos in certain areas of the Sky City, the magic suppression power she has mastered will be very accurate there." Speaking of this, the red-haired girl once again showed a strange expression: "Sometimes she will appear in person, and use her mysterious power to teach troublesome magicians well, and over time, ordinary players who often come and go to Sky City affectionately call her 'Guardian Spirit'...... Now that I think about it, it really looks like a god! ”

"So that foundation king must also know this setting very well." Thinking back to the resentment that flashed in the other party's eyes when he and the party represented by the little thief were teleported out of the garden separately just now, Duan Qing couldn't help but pull out a smile: "He didn't really want to seek revenge when he was jumping up and down before, but wanted to use this setting to sinister our hand, right?" ”

"It's a pity it didn't work out in the end, haha."

Twisting her little nose, the Thousand Fingered Crane also showed a girlish smile, and she jumped around Duan Qing, and then waved her fist towards the sky city above the side behind her, and then turned her big curious eyes as if she remembered something: "You, how did you know that guardian spirit?" Do you even know her name? ”

"This was also before the number change."

A melancholy expression appeared in his eyes again, and Duan Qing's voice then became low: "At that time, I also said that I would protect her well, who is not very good at speaking, but I didn't expect it to become like this in the end......"

"Is it during the Battle of Sky Castle?" Knowing what the other party was referring to, Knuckle Crane put away his previous curiosity and excitement: "She, she doesn't look like a player, and she doesn't look like an ordinary NPC...... Could it be that she was once a member of the Mage's Council? ”

"No, she used to be one of the tribes on the other side of the independent state." Duan Qing shook his head: "And it's the remnant clan, the entire tribe was slaughtered to the last person left, because of chance, she became my follower, and then I brought it out of that remote swamp." ”

"The appearance of the city in the sky, she is at the center of the event is a very important link." Speaking of this, Duan Qing put away the melancholy of her memories: "After a series of accidents, she was on the verge of death and was finally sealed in a device in Sky City, I thought that I would never see that face again in this life, but I didn't expect that she not only survived, but also became such an important role." ”

"Well, isn't that just right?" The voice that wanted to comfort Duan Qing was raised and lowered, and the Thousand-Fingered Crane artifact, which realized a certain problem, also became lost: "By the way, big brother, you have deleted the number, and these fetters should all be gone." ”

"It's okay, you can brush it again when your reputation is gone." Raising his head, Duan Qing then also put away his stunned gaze: "But there may not be this time now, we still have many other things to solve." ”

"I hope that the next time I return to that city, I won't be 'invited' out by that guardian spirit in this way."

He looked at the few figures waiting there looming in the street in front of him, and whispered while touching his nose.
