989 Exhausted means, cast on the street
Looking at the scene in front of her for a long time, the white-haired woman slowly stood up with her shoulders on her shoulders, and her staggering steps also rose again with a certain flame in the middle of the street, and disappeared behind Duan Qing in a way that gradually accelerated. Silently made a sigh movement, the gray-robed magician who seemed to be surrounded by flames all over his body then moved his attention completely in front of him again, and the armor and long sword belonging to the imperial system also appeared in the criss-cross torrent of flames with his attention, but the familiar figure had an extra shield inlaid with the symbol of the Frey Empire in his hand: "Your alchemy is indeed impressive, and the water is cut off from the abyss." β
"But that's the end of it."
The re-erected shield glowed white in the air, and at the same time appeared a cautious and serious expression belonging to Lot: "Personal power is limited after all, even if you can borrow the mystery of magic, your physical strength has a limit......"
"I don't need you to worry about my physical condition."
Shaking his head, Duan Qing, who interrupted the other party's voice, sprinkled the flames surrounding him forward again: "Anyway, the final result is death, and it seems that it is not bad to be able to pull a few more cushions." β
"I noticed it the first time I saw youβyou're an outlaw." In the sight of countless flames hitting the shield like flowing water, Lot's voice became much muffled by the shield's obscure: "But ......"
"Don't think I'm going to back down like that." As if ignoring the scorched blackness of his body, he took two steps forward: "I will definitely arrest you on the spot and accept the sanctions of the Imperial Army." β
"Why, just because I was absent from this morning's escort mission for His Royal Highness?" Duan Qing raised his head half-jokingly: "You don't really think that the result of the attack on His Royal Highness the Prince was all caused by the fact that such a small adventurer as me was not present, right?" β
"You're not all."
Gradually walking in front of Duan Qing, Lot's tall figure that had turned red from the burning flames completely covered the other party's face: "You are also suspected of theft, assault, murder, abduction, and ......."
"Plotting a rebellion." His gaze passed through the gaps formed between the turbulent currents of flames of various sizes and fell coldly on Duan Qing's head: "His Royal Highness has explained everything to us, those players are just collaborators he specially recruited, and their actions are all in accordance with His Royal Highness's plan and the instructions of the Imperial Royal Guard. β
"You're the only one who doesn't follow the plan of action." He moved his shield down a few points, and raised his trademark greatsword high in his right hand: "What have you done during this time, knowing the whole plan of action?" Were you the one who planned the attack during this time? β
"It's close to what I guessed, but ......"
Slowly lowering the staff in his hand for a few minutes, Duan Qing shook his head helplessly: "I can guarantee that I have never heard of any similar plans, and I don't know that His Royal Highness the Prince recruited us for the purpose of acting." β
"Oh? Then why don't you obediently tie your hands and arrest you, but instead forcibly act as a hero here? Lot's face became a little more serious when he hid behind his shield: "Even if you don't consider the conflict between you and the rest of the adventurers, you have already caused great chaos in the city...... Isn't your purpose to help the attackers stir things up? While the Imperial City Guards and the Royal Guards are fighting the enemy outside the city, and they have no time to take care of themselves? β
"If our 'purpose' was really what you thought, then I might have slipped away by now." Duan Qing, who had formed the wall with flames, asked in a low voice, "And...... Do you think that our so-called 'plan' appeared earlier, or did His Royal Highness the prince's plan appear earlier? β
"If you were trying to justify me, you should have told me earlier." Lot, who had no waves in his eyes, raised his sword and shook his head: "It's not that now that I've fought so many times and almost burned me to charcoal in the end." β
"Being able to hold on to that shield until now with room is already worth my admiration for you, Captain." Duan Qing, who stretched his hands forward, smiled and lowered his head: "But ...... Trust me. β
"Fighting me like this now will only do you a hundred benefits and no harm."
The raging flames rushed out from the wall of flames that stood between the two men, engulfing the entire body of the warrior Lott in an instant, and then a huge spray was stirred up like a wave crashing against the reef under the block of a shield that suddenly rose from the torrent of flames. With another heavy shout from his mouth, the warrior named Lott gathered a brilliant light on the surface of his armor with his eyes upside down, and then just slashed down against the torrent of flames that had been holding his right hand in the air for a long time: "Break! β
Bang!
The more violent waves of flames swept through the streets and alleys with the fall of the big sword, and then transformed into countless sharp sword qi at the intersection of the two figures, and the figure belonging to the imperial captain who slashed down with a shield then appeared behind the rapid disappearance of countless flame torrents along the direction of these sword qi, and faced the face of Duan Qing, who had retreated into the distance, with the body that still ignited the embers of flames, facing the face of Duan Qing, who had retreated into the distance:" I thought you guys had been turned into steel and iron because of these flames. β
"It would be more common sense to turn into a piece of molten iron." Duan Qing, who had fallen into the distance because of his hasty retreat, slowly stood up with his staff on his hand: "I don't want to eat the full force of an imperial captain at this time. β
"It wasn't my full blow, after all, I only used one hand."
Shaking off the Imperial Greatsword that was still simmering, Lott stepped forward again with slow steps: "If you don't want to taste the military-style heavy slash performed with two hands, you'd better stop and surrender to me now." β
"Shall I praise you for being as good as the adventurer's insight, you have noticed."
Slowly closing the flame crack attached to the tip of the staff he was holding in his hand, Duan Qing let out a long sigh: "Nothing is eternal, even power, the Elemental Realm is not a product of this world after all, as long as you don't continue to increase the flame spirits attached to it......"
"Then it will eventually succumb to the will and order of this world."
The last sentence did not come from Duan Qing's mouth, but suddenly sounded behind him, and the figure of a gorgeous woman with purple hair and a mysterious purple light shining all over her body also appeared in the air above this street in a jaw-dropping way, showing a grand smile to the two people present in a condescending manner: "Hello." β
"Purple, Lord of Violet."
Standing in place with a sword and shield in hand and hesitating for a while, the warrior Lott finally put away his weapon and saluted solemnly: "It's an honor to meet you, Lord Lord. β
ββ¦β¦ It's you, I remember you're called ...... Lott? β
"That's right, Your Excellency."
"Don't be polite, stand up."
"Thank you, Lord I-"
"You! You arrogant and impudent one! β
In the greetings of the unequal status between the two NPC powerhouses, the voice belonging to Sherman suddenly sounded in Duan Qing's ears like a bell: "When you see Lord Venerable, you don't kneel!" Obediently tied up! β
ββ¦β¦β
"No need."
Looking at the silent reaction of the gray-robed magician who retreated to the same place, the middle-aged man who was floating lower and cultivated a large amount of magic energy with a face full of anger then condensed a large amount of magical energy, but the voice belonging to Violet then interrupted his movements, and at the same time descended in front of Duan Qing with a more obvious smile: "If he still wants to continue to resist, then he only needs to use the previous method to summon the Origin Flame of the Flame Realm again, as the guardian of Tanzanian City, Naturally, I can't sit idly by and ignore this situation, which threatens the entire urban space......"
"Didn't you rely on this trick to escape from my men just now?" Her smile was gorgeous and dignified, as if she had not been affected by the words that came out of her mouth: "But you obviously anticipated my arrival, and did not take the same delay......"
"Because I don't want to run anymore."
Slowly raising his head, the corners of Duan Qing's mouth pulled out a smile: "We'll solve all the problems here, how about it?" β
"Resolved? How to fix it? Violet's expression was a little more curious: "You no longer have any ability to resist, what other solution can you solve the problem?" β
"You know I don't have the strength to fight anymore."
Smiling and taking two steps back, the figure belonging to the gray-robed magician slowly stuck to the wall at the corner of the street as if he had lost his strength: "But in order to achieve my strategy, I will still use all the means at my disposal, such as ......"
"Why do I continue to use that compelling style of combat when I know you're coming?"
He raised his head and looked at the face of the woman in the fancy dress above him with his arms crossed, and the latter's body then shone with the brilliance of several magical shields, and then slowly disappeared as if nothing had happened: "You deliberately led me here? Ridiculous, no matter what the means, I won't-"
"I'm already using my means."
His body slipped and sat on the ground, and Duan Qing's voice gradually became low: "Because after a period of reconnaissance with my companions, we have discovered many surprising facts. β
"You're the inventor of that cocktail, aren't you?" A hairy smile tugged in his eyebrows: "The kind of catalyst that can speed up the time it takes for the Purulyla toxin to take effect." β
ββ¦β¦β
It was as if the world had suddenly lost its voice, and the purple-haired woman named Violet suddenly lost her previous confident smile, and Duan Qing, who was looking at her and the Sherman behind her and was silent, seemed to have expected this silence for a long time, just shook her head and smiled and began to speak: "Unlike the rarely seen snake ring grass, that cocktail has been popular in many areas of the empire for a long time, and most ordinary detectives will not pay attention to the provenance of this wine...... β
"But I'm an alchemist, and I know the place this wine played in that attack." The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as the other party's expressionless reaction twitched, "If the main culprit of the attack on the Krook outpost is the toxin, then the person who poisoned and the person who made that cocktail are accomplices who help each other." β
"You, what are you talking about?"
It seemed that he was a little uncomfortable with the strange atmosphere in which Duan Qing did not continue to speak after saying this, and Lot, who was standing in the farthest distance, asked in an unnatural low voice, "Do you mean to ......?"
"Yes, you came at the right time." Duan Qing nodded at him: "It's just that it's not me who you should arrest, but this great magician in front of you." β
"She is one of the masterminds behind the attack on His Royal Highness."
Boast!
A crisp crashing sound then appeared in front of Duan Qing who was still in a sitting position, and exploded in the air into a stream of light when the energy gradually volatilized into the air, and a long sword that emitted gorgeous flames then also scattered a certain magic spear, and slanted into the ground not far from Duan Qing: "I thought you would deny the quibbling for a while, and then you would be annoyed and angry, but I didn't expect Your Excellency to not only lack patience, but also act so coldly and decisively......"
"Who is it?"
In the shouts that belonged to Sherman, a female swordsman with long blue hair gave a wind blade shot from the air to the side of the roof with a fighting spirit: "You? You're the one who attacked the Lord beforeβ"
"Whispering."
The name was pronounced in a low voice, and Duan Qing looked helplessly at the figure of the woman standing in the wind on the roof: "What are you here to make a fuss?" β
"How could we not notice such a big movement." Yu Liuyu waved his long hair: "We just didn't expect that it was the two of you who made these movements...... Feed. β
"Need help?"
Ignoring the threat of the Violet Lord who was close at hand, she winked at Duan Qing and said, "You look like you're in a bad situation." β
"I don't care." Holding his chest and muttering quietly, Duan Qing, who felt some kind of eager gaze, let out two dry laughs: "If possible, I hope you can helpβ"
The sound of the wall collapsing then interrupted Duan Qing's words again, and in a devastating way, the scene of the wall on the side of the street suddenly collapsing appeared in front of everyone, and a thief player holding something then climbed out of the rubble piled up together, and rushed in the direction of Duan Qing and the others with a large number of shouts and chasing sounds behind him.
"Get out of the way!"
