Although there are many guild departments in the free world that recruit new members for themselves, and even brokers who travel around the major guilds and local areas to distribute new blood, if you want to recruit real usable talents, it is naturally not enough to set up a stall in a place like the novice village. Many guilds such as the Flame Dragon Beast and the like later also used trials and other methods to screen a large number of new and uneven newcomers, but the probability of finding potential stocks in this method is still like a big wave of sand, so those members of the organization who mainly sell master information and talent trading will often send people to the major functional areas of the city to squat, and take on the role of "star scout" in the virtual world.

And this identity is also one of the possibilities that Thousand Fingered Crane thought of when he looked at Duan Qing at this time.

"You're trying to recruit me?"

After looking at each other for a while, the red-haired girl, who was not in a good mood, slowly suppressed the disgust that appeared in her eyes, she looked the face of this ordinary player up and down, and finally coughed her throat as if she was experienced: "Which company are you from?" ”

"Male, company?" Duan Qing's gaze was a little more sluggish: "What does that mean?" Now do you need a special registered brand to set up an adventure party on the free continent? ”

"Aren't you one of those so-called scouts?" The Thousand Fingered Crane looked at the other party's face with a squinting gaze: "Didn't you come to this place to test me?" ”

"The name of the Red Lotus Girl is now known to everyone on the mainland." Duan Qing, who seemed to understand something, hurriedly rubbed his hands: "What else do I need to test?" We've chosen you now! ”

"Are you serious?" His face changed a few times with his gaze, and a strange look finally appeared in the eyes of the Thousand Fingered Crane looking at Duan Qing: "You really want to recruit people?" I? ”

"Yes, that's right, that's you!" Posing with an exaggerated pose, Duan Qing then put on a shy smile again: "It is the stars that guide your path and bring the encounter between you and me here—how about it, are you interested?" ”

“…… What's the name of your guild? ”

"Qingling Adventure Group."

Faced with the question that the Thousand Fingered Crane then raised and the appearance of staring at him for a moment, Duan Qing proudly announced loudly: "Cyan Cyan, Smart Spirit, don't think it's cleared, our adventure group doesn't have such a strange setting!" ”

"Qingling, Qingling...... Haven't heard of this name. ”

After chewing these two words back and forth in his mouth for a long time, the red-haired thousand-fingered crane then showed an indifferent look: "Where is your place of registration?" ”

"Where to register?" Duan Qing opened his eyes slightly strangely: "Our adventure group was established in Tanzania City...... No, you really think we're a company? ”

"Tanzania City ......"

A look of suspicion gradually appeared in his eyes, and the Thousand Fingered Crane looked the gray-robed magician's face up and down: "Tanzanian City has just undergone a great change, and there are countless adventurers and local powerful people who have become the focus of the Empire's surveillance, since you are from there, you should have heard of such a thing, right?" ”

"Uh, dang, of course." Duan Qing's smiling face showed a little sweat: "Maybe we left early, so we just heard about it on the way......

"Oh?" Leaning forward a few points, the thousand-fingered crane with his hands behind his back stopped his gaze on the tip of Duan Qing's nose: "You don't know what is about to spread all over the continent, it's hard for people to believe in the authenticity of your identity." ”

"Can there be a fake?" Duan Qing, who was unconvinced, pulled up a cyan badge on his chest: "Do you see it?" This is the emblem of the Adventurer Group, recognized by the Adventurers' Guild! ”

"Yes, yes, I know." Waving his hand, Thousand-Fingered Crane finally withdrew his gaze from the other party: "All adventure groups that have been formed by the Adventurer's Guild are certified, which doesn't mean anything at all, and-"

"Since you know my name, you should understand my attitude." She packed her bags, and then nodded at the receptionist scholar in front of her: "I don't accept any invitation from the guild now, whether it's Jianghu or Vizad. ”

"Nonsense! Then why do you have a guild now? Duan Qing jumped to his feet and shouted, "Aren't you in that windy guild now?" ”

"That's because—"

The words that she wanted to say suddenly choked back, and a hint of imperceptible panic flashed on the face of the red-haired girl named Thousand-Fingered Crane: "That's because, that's because...... I, why should I tell you? ”

It's still that innocent girl.

An inexplicable warmth flowed through his heart, but Duan Qing raised his eyes on the surface: "Why can't you tell me?" What's wrong with our Qingling Adventure Group compared to that breeze? ”

"What's wrong with you...... You still have the face to ask such a thing? What kind of green onion are you? The red-haired girl couldn't help but shout: "Don't say it's the wind now, why can you passers-by who casually go to the street and grab a lot of them come over and solicit me at will?" Who am you to me? ”

"Why, our group is just short of a powerful magician right now, and I just happened to meet you here, why can't we send you an invitation?" Facing the girl's gradually bulging cheeks, Duan Qing hugged his arms as a matter of course: "If it weren't for the fact that you are so famous, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you...... Why are you looking at me like that? ”

"Go, go, go!" Finally, a little unable to stand this nonsense guy, the thousand paper crane who waved his fist reached out and pushed Duan Qing, who was still smiling on his face, to the side: "Don't bother me again, otherwise I'm really welcome!" ”

"Yo, a little girl still dares to speak so arrogantly to me, and dare to be rude to me?" Duan Qing, who was gearing up, took a big step back: "Do you really think that I-don't dare to kneel?" As long as you're willing to agree, I'll show you even ten rings—hey, don't go! Sigh ......"

"If you don't agree, you don't agree, why are you doing so much."

Looking at the back of the girl who didn't pay attention to herself and walked out of the door quickly disappeared, the soft color in Duan Qing's eyes then flashed away: "Anyway, the days ahead are still very long, and we still have a chance to continue negotiating...... Wrong! ”

He took two steps out of the door, and then shouted at the back, "Leave a contact information, beauty?" Our invitations are long-lasting! If you change your mind, you can come to us at the Sword of Bloom—"

Call!

The shining light then flashed in front of Duan Qing, it was the trajectory left by a brilliant fireball when it was offset into the air under the obstruction of a certain magic barrier, and the gray-robed magician who was almost frightened to the ground then also patted his chest and stood up, turning his head with a frightened expression: "Scared to death, scared to death, I thought I was really going to take a shot head-on." ”

"That's the Mage Council's protective magic array, one of the necessary protective measures for every branch of the Mage Council." A scholar woman named Dorothy then also appeared behind Duan Qing: "However, a magician like Miss Thousand Fingered Crane, probably only if she is unwilling to harm you, will have such a peaceful result. ”

"Hehe, maybe."

Involuntarily let out two sullen laughs, and Duan Qing, who shook his head and smiled, then turned around and returned to the counter of the Mage Council branch: "She is a very good-hearted person, I can see it." ”

"Miss Thousand-Fingered Crane seems to have suffered some damage during the 'Miracle of Sky Castle', and has been sullen all this time." The waitress named Dorothy smiled and tilted her head: "I hope she can get out of her haze and become a happy girl again." ”

“…… Do I still need to register? ”

"If you are really a registered magician, please make sure you sign your name on it."

Facing Duan Qing's subsequent turnaround, the rather polite female hostess showed a bright smile: "Even in the darkest of times, the Mage Council never gives up hope, so my goal is to make this place lively again. ”

"Nice wishes, I hope you can succeed." Duan Qing, who nodded, then picked up the magic pen on the counter that still had residual warmth: "Hmm, I'll take a look...... It's written here, right? ”

"Yes." Dorothy, who folded her palms, smiled into a crooked crescent moon at the corner of her eyes: "Your Excellency Master Rodell and Your Excellency Master Vidi will be returning from their trip in the near future, and I can introduce them to you, a novice magician, when the time comes...... Wait a minute. ”

"The abyss is cut off...... Breaking the water in the abyss? ”

Looking at Duan Qing's name written in that register, she muttered twice, and then in Duan Qing's inexplicable eyes, her eyes suddenly widened: "You are the one who broke the water in the abyss?" ”

"I know I'm famous for a wanted notice right now, but please don't be so loud, okay?" Duan Qing looked around here with a vigilant expression: "If the Imperial soldiers and the City Guard hear it, your branch hall may suffer again." ”

"Your Excellency President Wiggins' apprentice? Guardian of Her Excellency the Archmage of Violet? ”

Ignoring Duan Qing's warning, Dorothy in front of him bombarded his nerves with two identities that surprised Duan Qing: "It's really an honor to be able to meet you here!" ”

"Uh...... Excuse me. Duan Qing, who stood in place and was stunned for two moments, pointed to his nose and asked, "How did you know so much information about me?" I don't think I have ever made a big deal about my identity, right? ”

The sound of chirping laughter followed by the sound of small whispers echoed in the small branch hall of the Mage Council, and all kinds of questions from the bespectacled receptionist were like a bombardment of magic, constantly burning Duan Qing's hearing. The swaying figure appeared on the side of the Champs-Édamps Avenue after a while, sending Duan Qing's somewhat dizzy spirit out of this simple and simple façade along with his body, and he used all his strength to stabilize his attention from the humming sound in his ears that still did not dissipate, and then looked at the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice who was waiting in the corner of the alley with a helpless gaze and was covering his mouth and snickering: "The information of the Mage Council spreads really fast, and it is also teleported by a long-distance magic stone......"

"Two years ago, this kind of thing that could be used as a communication ball was a precious item, but now it has long been popularized." Xue Ling, who put away his snicker, waved his hand: "And where do you think this is, this is the Mage Council, if even they don't know this trick, then no one on this continent is qualified to use this technology." ”

"Then I wouldn't be so proclaimant of my 'heroic' deeds!" Duan Qing waved his arm: "That Christine is really, obviously she has already thrown such a big burden on me, and she wants to spread this matter throughout the entire magic world......"

"Because you saved Violet, and so many violet magicians." Xue Lingphantom Ice put away the smile on her face: "Don't worry, because of a certain dark force, the secrecy system of the Mage Council is doing a good job now, so regarding your identity and safety, you should be able to rest assured for a while." ”

"I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about the potential troubles." Duan Qing also put away his relaxed expression: "The thousand-fingered crane has not gone through this road either......

"I told you before that it's hard, and you're going to have to run up and give it a try." Xue Lingphantasm Bing furrowed her eyebrows: "You regret it now, right?" ”

"Anyway, I got a little bit of information, and this trip is not in vain." Cleaning up his complicated feelings, Duan Qing then pointed to his chest: "Just now-how do you see my acting level?" ”

"You still dare to mention acting." What answered him was a muffled sound when his forehead was slashed by a hand knife and the voice of Xue Ling's phantom ice: "If you dare to act in front of me in the future, see if I don't knock you to death." ”

"Girls lately seem to be violent." Duan Qing, who was rubbing his forehead, pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly: "Where are we going next?" ”

"Of course, the investigation continues."

The faint sound of the wind slowly moved along the deserted alley into the distance, shifting the gaze of Xue Ling's thinking to the sunlight in the sky, and then she also turned her gaze to the luxurious mansion not far from them, the noble mansion located at 28 Champs-Écoupés: "We have been following us for so long, and it seems a little inappropriate not to take advantage of the information we have obtained. ”

"You mean to say—"

"That's right."

Facing Duan Qing's projected gaze, Xue Ling's face also put on a somewhat confident smile.

"Since the Wings of Freedom are really going to deal with our employer, let's start with his identity and relationships."
