"All of the Empire's armaments have been affected to some extent at the moment, and the magic reserves have been affected even more, so we need to solve the problem of the leyline impact caused by your Tania now, otherwise...... The magical balance of the entire continent may be upset! ”

"We're not talking about the mutation the night before, but about the crimes you and the empire behind you committed before, your Excellency Princess, you won't forget that, will you?"

"I don't think there's any need to discuss this anymore, after all, the phenomenon of infighting in your country has become a fact, and our Royal Highness must have fallen victim to your intrigues—"

"Nonsense! The crimes committed by Chris are well known! And it is unanimously agreed upon by all principalities! Do you want to make the black white again by virtue of your family's words? ”

“…… Alas. ”

Time was slowly passing as the controversy in front of him continued, and Duan Qing, who was witnessing this controversy, let out a helpless sigh, he pouted his mouth in the direction of Her Royal Highness Princess Rena, who was sitting in the center of the council hall in front of him, and then turned his head to the snow spirit phantom ice on the side and said, "Did we misunderstand something?" ”

"Are you referring to the fact that Her Royal Highness the princess is not good at negotiating?" With a funny expression, Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was standing with her arms crossed, then also fell on the night sky outside the hall: "It's not her problem, all the people of the Empire are like this, especially when they are facing the principalities in public. ”

"It turns out that when Her Royal Highness the eldest princess entrusted us to act as envoys, she had her own self-knowledge." With a look of sudden realization, Duan Qing slammed his fist into the center of the palm on the other side: "I thought she was a wise representative of the wise who can see that we can solve this problem in a unique way." ”

"In a way, there is something unique about our approach." Turning his head to look at Black Corn who was being held in the center of the council hall and the two mage councils who were in charge of guarding him, Xue Lingphantasm replied calmly, "If it weren't for our nonsense—"

"I don't know what will become of Tania yet."

The ever-changing quarrel came to a moment of pause as her words fell, as if the argument in the room had stopped for a moment with some kind of accident, and then a man stood in the center of the seats representing the principality, waving his hand at the others, "Alright, okay, we're almost done arguing." ”

"Since there's still time, how about we take a break?"

Without waiting for any reaction from the others, or for a word of agreement or disapproval from the Imperial camp on the other side, the middle-aged man then walked to the side on his own, gradually blending in with the countless players and citizens of Tania who were also watching around. Skimming his body vigorously, Duan Qing then struggled to pull his body out of the crowd of onlookers who were gradually becoming chaotic, he glanced back at the people from the imperial camp who were communicating with the others behind him, and turned to lean his body against the pillars outside the council hall: "What a rare event." ”

"If it weren't for so many people watching, I would agree with what you said." Xue Lingphantom Bing, who also retreated to this side, then also smiled: "It's a pity that there are too many people who come over to see the excitement, and this kind of crowded feeling is not a good experience." ”

"After all, something like this has just happened in Tania, and it's normal for people to gather." Duan Qing sighed in the sky: "They chose to start negotiations at this time, and they must have taken this factor into account." ”

"Forget about Rena, Pamir will be so kind?" Xue Lingphantasm crossed his arms and asked in a low voice, "Look at these wolf-like players, they wish that the farce here would be a little bigger, so that they could have a chance to exploit the loopholes." ”

"Are you worried that they will take advantage of the principality? You're obviously worried that they've accidentally discovered the underground property. Duan Qing replied with a funny face: "Those things are the treasures of the Frei royal family, and they also carry a lot of impassable mechanisms, but if someone finds out the secret there, they will not care about this." ”

"We may need more time to remove all the treasures that have gone through the long river of time." Xue Lingphantasm replied in a deep voice, "There is still manpower, and if there are not a large number of personnel, it will be difficult to move all those things out." ”

"That's one of the reasons you want to save the fool, right?" Duan Qing squinted at the other party: "You want to use their power?" ”

"As far as I know, even after the incident in Sky City is over, Mengzhu still has their influence on Tania." Frowning and thinking deeply for a while, Xue Lingphantom Ice then replied in a low voice: "They are also the most suitable people to take over this matter, not only do they have the most smooth relationship between the upper and lower levels, but they also know a lot of information about the underground world......

"You don't know about that yet." A low voice interrupted the other party's words, and Duan Qing's face also became serious: "Because of the Chris incident, the relationship between the fool and the underground world is not as good as before. ”

"Is this so influential?" After thinking for a while with his brows lowered, Xue Lingphantom Ice then let out a sigh: "Are there other forces that are in the way?" ”

"Who knows, maybe it's the Restorer or some other Destiny Alliance or something." Pointing in the direction of the venue behind the two people, Duan Qing said with a heavy face: "But this point is irrelevant now, after all, this grand event we are holding is trying to solve this problem, there is the principality that has broken free from the quagmire, and the intervention of the Mage Council, I believe they will definitely solve this trouble from the chaos in front of them." ”

"Are you right, Your Excellency?"

He turned his head and looked at the figure of a man in a cloak who walked behind the two of them at some point with an indifferent gaze, and then the face wrapped under the hood also showed a little bit of his own complexion, and looked at the faces of the two players in front of him who saw through his whereabouts with appreciative eyes: "Sure enough, they are all experienced adventurers, and they found me so quickly." ”

"From our point of view, you're really not up to par with what you're doing now." Shaking his head, Duan Qing, who didn't move his steps, also looked away from the middle-aged man in front of him: "It's just that because these people nearby are taking care of other things, they didn't pay much attention to the appearance of a person like you, so I didn't find anything suspicious about you." ”

"I thought the outfit Yang had prepared for me would be very useful." Shaking his head and contrasting with the figures of the players who were crowding and playing next to him, Pamir's face also showed a smile of relief: "After all, the result is still not comparable to you adventurers." ”

"It's not just about dressing up or dressing." Secretly exchanging glances with Xue Lingphantasm beside him, Duan Qing finally suppressed the question he wanted to blurt out for the time being: "If you want to truly become an adventurer, the necessary temperament is essential, in layman's terms, that is, you are not rustic enough." ”

"As one of the top elites in the Free Continent, your temperament is not something that can be concealed by a simple cloak." He pointed in the direction of Pamir, then nodded his head again: "Not to mention those of us who know you - your breath has been in our observation since you left the negotiating table. ”

"A lot of people are just like us, keeping an eye on all your movements."

He pointed to the night around the pillars, as if he could see through the night where countless players and citizens of the principality were crowded together, and the Pamir who was shown by him seemed to have this consciousness that he was being watched by countless people, and the expression that had been pondering for a while also became indifferent: "I know that this gaze that has been paid attention to by everyone seems to have become heavier and heavier in recent times, and they seem to be waiting for my attitude, waiting for me to say 'yes' or ' No'. ”

"So I rarely spoke during this time." He raised his head again, and his eyes were also full of helplessness when he looked at Duan Qing: "This may have also caused a lot of misunderstandings, please allow me to apologize to you in advance." ”

"Uh, I don't understand what you mean." Stretched out his hand and slowly retracted it, Duan Qing's face also showed a puzzled expression: "What do you mean?" ”

"For the trouble Yang has caused you." Pamir replied nonchalantly: "He may have thought that I didn't care about your existence, so he connived at his subordinates' pursuit of you, although the matter has passed, fortunately it has not caused too much harm, but the things that should be explained should be explained, so as not to cause more unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

"I have taught him a deep lesson." He turned back and gestured in the direction of the council hall, "I think he has understood what I mean, and is now reflecting on it elsewhere, and your safety in Tania City can be guaranteed in the future, so please stay here without worry." ”

“…… It's not that serious. ”

Finally understood what the other party was referring to, Duan Qing's voice then became a little relieved: "Hatred between adventurers is common for us, and this has nothing to do with your country's attitude, as long as we can ensure the fair treatment we should enjoy in Tania, as well as the necessary safety guarantees in case of danger, I think it should be enough." ”

"Rest assured, this is what we should do."

【Ding——】

[Pamir prestige rises, and the current prestige is respect.] 】

The long-lost system prompt immediately sounded in Duan Qing's ears, and the expression that was stunned for a moment was then interrupted by the sound of Pamir bowing slightly: "What's more, it's my savior, I will do my best to meet your needs." ”

“……”

Some didn't know how to deal with the attitude of the supreme leader of the principality in front of him, Duan Qing, who had been silent for a moment, finally said what he originally planned to say in a low voice: "I don't know why the speaker took such great pains to meet us? ”

"I just heard the Empire's report."

Slowly raising his head, Pamir's expression became a little more inexplicably serious: "According to the 'report' they received, the energy surge in Tania that night was actually formed by the magic furnace in the underground area for some reason, and there are several forces at work in it, including a person who is dressed very much like me. ”

"You are accusing that we directed and staged the disaster of that night." He stared at Duan Qing's faces with solemn eyes, and at the same time briefly summarized everything that had just happened at the negotiation table in the council hall: "These descriptions should also be provided by you, right?" ”

"That's right, it's all true." Bowing his head slightly, Duan Qing then put on the same serious expression: "But I am also the one who saw you assassinated with my own eyes, so I can know that you should be a fake that appeared in the underground area." ”

"I'm glad you were able to provide it all." Smiling and nodding his head, Pamir's gaze softened a little: "Your generosity and honesty have saved the relationship between the two countries, and even more so the future of this continent. ”

"Needless to say, we're doing it for ourselves." Xue Lingphantom Ice on the side then shook his head and said softly, "Even now—in order to solve our previous demands and current troubles, your existence is also necessary." ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess Rena must have been sure that we would accept your request for this reason." Nodding his head, Pamir's voice then became muffled: "I understand, I will persuade the other parliamentarians to accept the conditions she proposed." ”

"Wait, wait, how come we don't know what the conditions-"

Finally discovering that something was wrong, Duan Qing raised his hand a little stunned, but Pamir, who had been keeping his head down, did not give him such a chance, but instead interrupted the gray-robed magician's words in a more sincere voice: "But before that, I hope the two of you can look at my face and accept a reluctant invitation from me." ”

"Can you tell me more details about what happened that night?"
