704 Fluctuations in Undercurrents

Regarding the question of whether there were internal ghosts within the Mage Council, Duan Qing and the others did not discuss it for too long later, because the magicians who defected from the Mage Council had appeared too many times after the Restoration's death, according to the information introduced by Norman, names such as Rhodesman and Teresa had also been engraved on one of the floors of this tower in the past, and even the old man who had fought with Norman just now seemed to have been one of the members of the Mage Council.

"That guy too? It doesn't look like what your Mage Council should be. ”

"It's because of this manic nature that Braster was discriminated against in the council, though I don't know if this guy started to become manic because he was ostracized, or because he was terrified because he sensed his low qualifications......"

“…… But judging from the battle just now, that old man's strength seems to be very strong, and the two of us who have no power to fight back almost blew up so much that we don't even know our ancestors......"

"That's because you can't determine the other party's location, plus because the other party used the flame stone, and those fire rains in the sky are not his power, but the result of the manifestation of the power of that stone......"

The use of magical items, the teaching of magical theories - time passed slowly in such discussions, and finally came to a temporary end in the results of Norman's placement of two people, Duan Qing and the two, who seemed to be thrown into a certain room at random, then observed for a while, and their apprehensive and excited mood was slightly lowered, and then in the action of sitting on the two beds on both sides of this simple room, they began to pull their minds back to the more realistic world: "......"

"This place must also be one of the residences."

Breaking the inexplicable silence, Duan Qing pointed to all corners around the room: "A residence that belongs to a certain magician. ”

“…… Probably. Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was holding his arms, was slightly silent for a while, and the voice of the answer didn't seem to be in his thoughts: "But it doesn't look like it." ”

"Aha, are you referring to the environment of this room?" Duan Qing then let out a knowing chuckle: "Indeed, such a clean place really doesn't look like what a magician should look like, the magician's room should be full of magical artifacts on the floor, and the table full of bottles and cans, right?" There are also these two beds...... Hmm, could it be that this place once raised two magicians? ”

“……”

"Still thinking about traitors?"

Sighing slightly, Duan Qing, who was waving his arms, finally abandoned the idea of wanting to liven up the atmosphere, and then turned his gaze and the arms supported on his knees towards the direction where the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice was on the opposite side: "This kind of thing is unpredictable, because if you define this as the goal of the Restorationists, the previous series of plans will no longer have any characteristics......

"You're referring to Windflower's plan?" Xue Ling's voice trembled slightly: "Then they...... What is it for? ”

"It doesn't matter what you're doing so much, we'll just do it when the time comes." Duan Qing shook his head senselessly: "No matter how powerful and despicable the plan is, the final result is nothing more than what will befall us, even if we really don't find those magic bombs in the end, we must have other means to stop them." ”

“……”

"Don't worry, I'm here."

With a confident smile coming out of his grin, Duan Qing turned his head and lay on the bed on his side: "As long as I am here, I will not let a tragedy like the massacre of the city happen again, you and your guild are ...... I won't be saddled with a similar stigma. ”

“…… Are you sure? ”

Looking at Duan Qing's face with a little surprise, Xue Ling's expression was slightly stunned, and then in the confident smile on the other party's face, a rare smile like an iceberg bursting was revealed, and the small room seemed to become a little brighter with her smile, and then it was dim again because of her bowing head, and the wordless atmosphere lasted for a while with the silence that diffused, and then the calm voice belonging to the woman sounded again: "...... So you're planning to practice here for a while? ”

"What's so bad? This is a reward promised by the Norman master himself, and the skills that can be taught by NPCs are definitely much better than rewards such as items and equipment......"

"I know this, after all, the guy who is leisurely against the wind...... It seems that this is how it has risen. Xue Lingphantasm pondered for a moment: "I mean...... How long are you going to stay here? ”

"Well...... At least until I'm done, right? Duan Qing, who was lying on the side of the bed, scratched his nose: "Although the intellectual and spiritual attributes of my character are not high, my own IQ should be not bad......"

“……”

"Okay, okay." Turning his head to look at the eyes handed over by the woman who was still sitting on his knees opposite, Duan Qing sighed slightly: "Don't look at me with this kind of look, I do still want to continue to explore this tower, after all, this is a treasure trove in hand, if you don't look good, it's a waste of the great opportunity given by God......"

"Including those rooms...... Right? The corners of Xue Ling's Phantom Bing's mouth pulled up slightly: "To be honest...... I'm also interested in what kind of stuff is in there. ”

"That'...... Would you like to take a look together? ”

“…… Forget it, even if Norman is willing to let him go, there may be a lot of strange rules in it, and if you accidentally touch some mechanism, you may end up with more than you can lose......

"So...... Do you want to learn the so-called magic circle enchantment? ”

“…… Can I learn? Won't it have any effect on what I'm practicing? ”

"The player's combat skills are something that the players have researched themselves, and they will not conflict with the techniques taught by the NPCs in the game world, even if it is the difference between the swords...... You can also make up for it with habilitation. ”

"Well, that should be with the Norman master's approval, at least he didn't promise to teach it to me......"

As if leaving the mundane world that had been entangled around them behind, the two players shifted the topic to a farther and farther direction, but the life in this alien space continued little by little with the decisions made by the two people, and the previous player sneak attack in Fenghua Town gradually spread during this passing time, and then was drowned out by the news of the big war between the coalition and the Restorationists, but whether from the perspective of the original Restorationist project or from the perspective of the combatants, The aftermath of this battle continues to simmer in different places.

For example, the silk threads involved in the red-haired girl who was rescued by the secret whisper Ning Lan before, and the series of chemical reactions brought about by Xiao Hongchen and the evil young man of Jicheng who did not escape from Fenghua Town alive.

"Look, look, we're still fighting to the death in front, and the Fool Adventure Group has already run to the rear to stumble!"

"What's the use? In the end, he was beaten out like a dog? I think the first adventure group in Tania, which was once all the rage, is nothing more than that now. ”

"But so? If you have the ability, you can sneak into Fenghua Town and try it out right now? Don't look at the two people who died, it's you...... I guess I can't even go up the mountain! ”

"So, then we can send more people? And why should we be as sneaky as those guys, just hit it and it's over? ”

"Just hit it...... Hum. ”

The voices that kept coming from his ears were automatically discharged out of his head, and the lonely smoke urn of the sunset that opened the curtain and walked into the account chirped angrily: "To put it lightly, where is the time to care about other people now?" ”

"What unpleasant news have you heard again?" Sitting in the middle of the tent, he replied without raising his head, "Is there someone still advocating a strategy to recapture Fenghua Town?" ”

"A few passers-by are just talking about it every day, and it's not enough to worry about."

Striding to the black-clothed scholar's side, the red-robed strong man said in a deep voice: "It's a plan to deal with the western front...... How's the push going? ”

"The Mage Council should have received the corresponding information, and is currently sending additional personnel there." The voice of the Floating Dream was still buried in the white paper: "The only difficulty now is in the direction of the coalition forces, we are a neutral organization, and we are not close enough to either side, and it is very difficult to convince them to shift the focus of the attack now......"

"Isn't it okay to be reasonable? Hum! ”

A heavy cold snort sounded again, and Sunset's lonely smoke's expression became as warm as a burning flame: "Prestige and prestige, it's like this everywhere!" Aren't they all battle-hardened generals? Can't even see this basic truth? ”

"Looks like ...... Your visit must have failed, right? The action of floating dreams finally stopped a little: "Don't think too much, although they are all part of the coalition army, each of them still has their own considerations, so the reasons why they don't agree to go west should be different......"

"But nothing changed the results."

Slowly sitting across the table piled high with paper, Sunset's voice became much lower, "Without the support of the coalition, can we rely only on the magicians of the Mage Council to fight the Restoration?" Even if we can fight in the end, it's too far from what we planned at the beginning......"

"Don't worry, prestige and influence are slowly accumulating."

As if remembering some of the same encounters, the voice of the Floating Dream became much lower: "In this war, we Vizad have managed to build enough credibility between the two countries, although it is only relying on the east wind of the Mage Council, but these accumulations will eventually be transferred to our heads......"

"This is the best opportunity, the opportunity to put us at the top of the adventurers." A strange smile escaped from the corner of his mouth: "In comparison...... The outcome of the war itself has become less important. ”

“…… I know, I understand. His eyes gradually froze at one point, and the voice of the sunset lone smoke became sluggish: "It's just ...... This plan for westward expansion ......"

"The will of the Mage Council, we still have to abide by it now."

Standing up with his hands behind his back, Floating Dream turned his body towards the back of the tent: "That's what we rely on now, the source of strength that we can stay here now, since we are still within the framework of the rules here, we had better continue to abide by it, the stakes in the middle, and I hope that the elders can understand it, and then ...... Continue to speak to the generals. ”

"Don't mention it." Sunset Lonely Smoke immediately glared at his eyes: "Whether it's the county guard of the principality, or the Combien of the empire...... They don't take us seriously at all. ”

"But at least they must have guys who don't dare to ignore it." The Floating Dream, who was facing away from each other, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "The speaker of the principality is in the camp, and the Snow Wolf Army of the Empire has a deep or shallow friendship with many adventure groups from the Empire...... Once you master this, everything is no different from the real world. ”

"Our only enemies are the Restorationists and the Wings of Freedom." His voice paused for a moment, and then reverberated in a deep voice again: "They are people who are beyond the framework of this rule, and they are on the road to victory, and the result of this contest will also determine to a certain extent whether their future path will continue to be wide......

"Report."

The player's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent, and the figure of a player belonging to Vizad opened the dilapidated door curtain, and he looked at the two guild leaders who were also looking at him, and his voice trembled involuntarily: "That, that...... Leisurely ask to see against the wind. ”

“…… Coming back from Etta County? So the two players in front of and behind the table looked at each other: "Let him in." ”

"Yo, two big brothers."

As the sound of footsteps approached and the sound of the door curtain opening again, the headwind, who was still wearing a blue robe, walked into the tent with a sunny smile, but the staff he originally used had now been replaced by a blue magic ball floating in the air: "The new member is leisurely against the wind, and I will report to you." ”

"Don't be so polite, you used to be the head of a guild." A warm smile immediately appeared on the face of the floating dream, which turned around again: "And everyone is now comrades-in-arms, so it's not a good thing to see each other like this." ”

"It's just that there's a lot to deal with, so it's a little late." Against the wind, he still maintains the proper etiquette: "How is the situation now?" ”

"The situation...... Just like the recent war report that has been hyped up on the Internet. The red-robed Sunset Lonely Smoke hugged his arms: "We ......"

"I'm learning from them to prepare a great sacrifice for you."
