In the damp and gloomy ground, the sound of an iron gate being opened sounded in front of everyone, and the iron gate, which looked very old because it had not been used for a long time, then slowly pushed in the direction that the person who opened the door dragged it open, with endless dust and tooth-sore friction. Glancing at Duan Qing behind him expressionlessly, the imperial royal guard who was in charge of guarding here then sank his head, and his gaze, which had always shown a calm and serious look, also became a little hesitant at this moment, as if he was a little unprepared for the visit of the two people in front of him: "Are you sure it's an edict from His Royal Highness?" ”

"Although we didn't get his approval, we also have our own forces."

Nodding slightly, Duan Qing, who was the leader, then showed a smile towards the other party: "We are here on behalf of the Adventurers' Association, there shouldn't be any problem if we go a little over, right?" ”

"Adventurer's Guild...... Hum. Then the soldier's face became even more dissatisfied: "Do you still want to meddle in this matter now?" His Royal Highness has shown great mercy and let all the remaining violet magicians go......"

"That's why we're here." Duan Qing replied without humility or arrogance: "In order to ensure that there will be no more accidents this time, it is also for the sake of ...... Find out the truth. ”

Without saying too many words, the Imperial Imperial Guard looked at the other for a moment, and then slowly moved out of the way in the still-pervasive silence around him. His face became serious as the figure gradually flashed into darkness, and Duan Qing, who turned his head, swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, his gaze touched the snow spirit phantom ice beside him, and the calm he was trying to maintain then moved into the door of the cell in front of him with his own steps: "...... Hello, ma'am. ”

"No wonder I hesitated at the door for so long, it turned out to be the two of you."

A low and mature voice then sounded in front of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing, accompanied by the scene that belonged to the great magician Violet gradually appeared in this dark depth, her hair and robe had lost her lustre, she slowly raised her head, but the expression on her face still maintained her usual calmness and confidence: "What? And now I finally remember that there is still a prisoner like me? ”

"We don't mean anything disrespectful, in fact...... It took us a lot of time to find this place. In the sound of the iron gate behind him closing quickly, Duan Qing, who bent down, gently stroked his hand on his chest: "After all, His Royal Highness the Prince has already beaten you into the ranks of traitors, and it is really difficult to see you now." ”

"Hmph, that must have been planned by him a long time ago." With that smile still on her face, Violet replied indifferently, "Don't look at the usual sanctimonious appearance of this former student of mine, and it has come to a critical moment...... He's the most ruthless kind of person. ”

"His Royal Highness still retains enough mercy that he has ordered the release of other personnel who have nothing to do with this incident." Duan Qing raised his head: "That includes those of your subordinates. ”

"You're talking about the people in the Violet Tower?" Violet's unchanged expression finally fluctuated a little: "Aren't they going to use it as a bargaining chip to force me to submit?" ”

"The possibility of such a possibility is not ruled out, but now everything is no longer there." Duan Qing slowly pulled out a clear smile: "Presumably, with your wisdom and mind as a great magician, most of you will not be able to use such a bargaining chip to blackmail, right?" ”

“…… Oh, that's not exactly. ”

In the scene where the clanging sound of the chains suddenly sounded, Violet's body curled down slightly, and the calmness and confidence that had been maintained on her face slowly dispersed with the movement of lowering her head: "But it's okay, of course, what one person does, should also be borne by one person." ”

"Since His Royal Highness the Prince has shown his sincerity in resolving this incident, then I should also show the sincerity I deserve." She folded her hands and at the same time cut the heavy chains that were tied to her wrists and slowly revealed them in the dim light: "Go back and tell him, I will agree to all the conditions he has proposed." ”

"Uh...... We are not here on behalf of His Royal Highness. The corners of Duan Qing's mouth twitched twice: "Of course, if you need it, we can convey it on your behalf......

"You're not here on behalf of His Royal Highness?" Violet's face showed a puzzled expression: "You struggled for so long yesterday, and finally even knocked me down from the Void Realm—didn't you do what so many enemies would do, wasn't it at the behest of His Royal Highness?" ”

“…… Although we are also one of the adventure groups entrusted by His Royal Highness, we do not know about that person's plan to frame him. ”

Standing in place and silent for a while, Duan Qing finally explained slowly under the gaze of the other party: "The series of actions in yesterday were just our personal wishes. ”

"Your personal wishes?" Violet's eyes widened: "It's just the two of you who have been going against me all this time?" Didn't that Chris instruct you? ”

"That's right, I'm just following his instructions." Taking a step forward, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who also stepped forward, then lowered his head: "We are not the same as His Royal Highness the noble prince, please rest assured of this." ”

"That means ...... All the crimes I have committed have been guessed by you? ”

Blinking her eyes, Violet's expression became even more strange: "I see...... No wonder ......"

"What's wrong?"

"His Royal Highness Prince Chris, who has also come to see me before."

Looking at Duan Qing's and the two of them, who also became a little puzzled, the purple-haired great magician once again propped up one of his hands, and the chain tied to her wrist was once again tightened in the air of the dim prison with her appearance, and the light green light unique to the void was there: "He made a condition to me - as long as I am willing to confess all my crimes in the trial in three days' time, he will release me on the spot after the trial." ”

"Release on the spot?" This time it was Duan Qing's turn to widen his eyes: "How is this possible?" The cries outside have reached such a high level, and if you suddenly give in at this time, aren't you afraid-"

"That clever little ghost must want to do it again." Interrupting Duan Qing's words, Violet, who put her hand under her chin, shook her head slightly: "Let me cooperate with another scene, and continue to build momentum for him with my admitting defeat and surrender...... Scold. ”

"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's because he doesn't have any evidence of me at all." She set her eyes on Duan Qing's body, and then blinked her eyes: "You want to trick me into confessing out of thin air under such circumstances...... Ha, in addition to admiring his head, I also admire his guts. ”

"If we don't take into account the evidence we already know, His Royal Highness Prince Chris's knowledge really doesn't know enough." Sinking his thoughtful gaze, Xue Lingphantom Ice then recalled the scene that happened yesterday: "His Royal Highness the Prince was attacked at the east gate of the city, and then led the team back to our location, at that time, he seemed to have decided that the mastermind behind all this was the Lord of Violet, and the subsequent conflicts were also directly between the Royal Guard Legion and the Great Magician. ”

"Everything is moving so fast, it's as if both sides have already worked it out." Pondering here, she turned her head to look at Duan Qing's face: "From the perspective of an ordinary person, I'm afraid I don't even know what happened." ”

"Even if the warring parties know each other's reasons, they lack the evidence to convince the world."

Looking at Violet's still smiling face, Duan Qing's eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance: "If His Royal Highness wants to push his momentum to a higher height, then he must let the truth of this incident be completely revealed to the world......

"But he obviously didn't know, and he didn't find anyone who did." Violet smiled and looked back at Duan Qing's face: "Of course, if you want to continue to be his tainted witness, then I have nothing to say." ”

"I was treated like this, and I had to speak for him in the end...... I'm not in such a good mood. Duan Qing shook his head in a deep voice: "Of course, if I accepted the invitation of a certain veteran yesterday, I can't predict whether the final result will be as I wish, but ......"

"Now that we've come to this point, we can only rely on the existing conditions to combine other paths." He pinched his chin, but his footsteps moved forward two points: "Then ......"

"I know there should be a lot of questions to ask between us, so we're here this time to talk about conditions."

The darkness in his field of vision was gradually replaced by the vaguely visible silhouette of the great magician, and at the same time there was a pair of equally bright eyes that appeared in Duan Qing's field of vision, he quietly looked at the pair of eyes that were formally facing each other for the third time, and his voice was involuntarily lowered: "In the words of our adventurers, it is to exchange information with each other, how about it?" ”

"Even if you don't, I have a lot of questions for you." Not caring at all that her embarrassed appearance was seen by the other party, Violet replied in a lazy voice, "But...... Since it's an exchange of information, you naturally have to get the bargaining chips for the exchange, right? ”

"So-"

Glancing at the snow spirit phantom ice beside him, Duan Qing deliberately lengthened his voice: "Let's change one by one?" ”

"Who's coming first?"

"Why do you make that cocktail?"

"It's not alcohol, it's one of the by-products of my past alchemy experiments, and then somehow it was passed down to the world, and it was transformed into a cocktail by the Empire."

"Didn't you notice this?"

"I found out too late to know about it, and I didn't take it to heart at the time, until the attack on the Outpost of Crook took place and your Adventurers' Guild reported your research to me, that I didn't know it had such a purpose...... Hey, you've got a foul. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll ask you instead."

"How did you find me?"

"From the time you handed me the commission, I sensed that something was wrong, even if I couldn't purify the elemental composition in it, a normal alchemist could see at a glance what the general ingredients and functions of that sample were, and the result was ......."

"Not only did I not see it, but I also gave you the task of developing an antidote?"

"That's right, and you've made a very strange request not to publish the composition of this sample until the composition of the sample has been fully analyzed...... Heh, now that you know this sample combination, you don't need the so-called 'first-hand information' at all, but just want to continue to gag me in this way, right? ”

Looking at Violet's face with a clear gaze, Duan Qing tapped his arm with his fingers, and Violet, who was staring at this smug look, also raised her head slightly, and only let out a cold snort after a while: "...... No, it's not. ”

"With these clues alone, you still can't know where that by-product came from." She groaned and continued, "Someone else told you all this, right?" ”

“…… That's right. ”

"Who is it?"

“……”

"Hmph."

As if she had got her own answer from the other party's silence, Violet lowered her head again, and the slight humming voice was followed by an increasingly abrupt breath, echoing in the ears of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing: "Okay, anyway, I don't need this answer now...... Please go ahead. ”

"Next it's my turn." This time, it was Xue Lingphantom Ice who was standing aside: "What is the agreement between you and the Restorationist?" ”

"I may need to sort this out a bit."

The hands tugging at the anti-magic chains moved slightly, and Violet raised her head again: "About a few months ago, a few people suddenly appeared in front of me, and they explained their identities to me very simply, and then ...... foreshadowed my future destiny. ”

"I will be judged by the Empire." Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at the dim ceiling: "My life may end in this incident." ”

"Why?"

"Because of the woman."

Gesture towards where Duan Qing was, Violet blinked her eyes, "You should understand who I'm referring to, right?" ”

"Maggie......

Softly pronounced the name, Duan Qing then shook his head: "So you believe it so easily?" ”

"Of course I wouldn't believe it easily, but they left a few prophecies." Violet said in a deep voice, "Over time, those prophecies have all come true in incredible ways, including the fact that I will be betrayed by the Empire, and—"

"My fate will be destroyed."

She said with a smile.

"Something that was destroyed by a small adventurer." d
