The high beams hold up the hall of the Imperial Adventurers' Association very much, and it looks like a bit of the momentum of a palace and a palace, but I don't know if it's because of the news of the castle crisis just now, there are not many people wandering in this hall at this time. Similar to the adventurer associations seen in other cities, the adventurers' associations that appeared in front of Duan Qing and the others at this time were also divided into several basic areas such as the reception desk, the commission task bulletin board, and the completion report desk, and the three or two adventurers who were completely different from the entire palace-like hall were also standing shoulder to shoulder in front of these counters at this time, dealing with today's tasks with those counter managers who also looked a little listless.

Of course, the guild-level rooms that belong to the second floor of the Adventurer's Guild can still be found here.

"It's all of you from the Green Spirit Adventure Troupe, right?"

At the end of the field of vision hidden by the black-clothed nobleman who led the way in front of him, the back of an old man standing in the innermost room with his hands behind his back slowly asked with the arrival of Duan Qing and the others, I don't know how long he had been waiting here, and then he also turned to his side, and raised a small metal ball in his hand and his right hand to his abdomen: "I'm sorry I haven't had time to entertain you these days, you should have ...... Not. ”

"What about your companions?" The old eyelids lifted slightly upward, and they were curled together as the gray-haired, wrinkled old man raised his eyebrows: "I remember that your team has gathered enough five people?" ”

"Ah, that ......" So Duan Qing put on the first dry smile that appeared after seeing this old man: "They haven't come here for the time being, and some are even people from other guilds, so ......"

"Well, it looks a little different from what Hannah said."

The old man who stroked his beard and put away the metal ball in his hand patrolled back and forth between Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice with a scrutinizing gaze: "But it doesn't matter, you adventurers always like to do things casually, I'm almost used to it." ”

"Do you know President Hannah well?" Finally mentioning the familiar name, Duan Qing cautiously asked tentatively, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"I'm Amman, Amman Antel, president of the Adventurers' Guild." Without the slightest hint of mustard, the old man smiled and nodded his head: "At the same time, he is also Hannah's father." ”

"Sure enough, it's Your Excellency the President of the Adventurers' Association." Obviously noticing the slight difference in the words used in the other party's introduction, Duan Qing, who glanced at Xue Lingphantom Ice, bowed deeply and bowed: "It's an honor to meet you, Lord Adventurer Guild." ”

"My lord, our Adventurers' Guild is a loose management organization at best." Amman smiled and waved his hand: "No matter how powerful we are, without the participation and support of you people, the Adventurer Association is just an empty shell, hahahaha!" ”

The heroic and hearty laughter then echoed around the room, accompanied by a few polite words and greetings, until Duan Qing and the two who walked into the room finally sat down in the politeness of the president of the Adventurer's Guild, and then he said his next question with a little restraint: "Since it's Hannah's father, then we're welcome...... What did you suddenly call us for? ”

"I thought you had come to this place because you finally remembered what my daughter had told you."

Glancing at the young aristocratic figure who had brought Duan Qing and them here, Amman lowered his voice and replied, "You should already have a general understanding of what happened in the imperial capital, the situation of the imperial nobles who are about to stir up trouble has begun to become more and more obvious, and even the military, which has always been opposed to them, seems to have the idea of letting go. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor has expressed concern about this, and he does not want to see his heirs fall victim to the power of power." After tidying up the aristocratic casual clothes on his body, the old man's gradually serious face was also hidden in the action of turning around: "He tried his best to calm down this power in the past period, but in the end, he still let Prince Chris out alone. ”

"In order to prevent the prince and the prince's ministers from making trouble." The atmosphere was a little silent as the old man's voice paused, and then it was broken by Duan Qing's answer: "It's a little different from the version I've heard before." ”

"Oh? It seems that someone has also analyzed a similar situation to you? The old man turned his head with a little surprise: "Is it the head of the Date family that I once met with you in private?" Or the Lord Romlia who has just returned from the City of Freedom? ”

"Well...... Neither. Scratching his nose, Duan Qing shook his head slightly embarrassed: "But that lord once said that His Majesty the Emperor hoped that Prince Chris would be able to go out and make contributions, so he was sent to the principality as an envoy......"

"This is of course another idea of His Majesty the Emperor." Amman nodded slowly: "But even Your Majesty didn't expect that this prince had already caused all kinds of disasters before he left the country. ”

"You're referring to those things that happened to us, right?" Duan Qing nodded deeply: "Your daughter President Hannah should have already introduced you to the ins and outs of that incident. ”

"Yes, yes, but that's why you're going to be too hard to deal with now."

Bypassing the table and walking in front of the two, Amman's embarrassed eyes were placed on the heads of Duan Qing and Xue Lingxuan Bing: "Judging by common sense, His Majesty the Emperor has already affirmed the series of actions of Prince Chris, and while eradicating those 'imperial rebels', he has consolidated everything that the prince sent out to make meritorious contributions has done." ”

"His Majesty the Emperor wants to reverse black and white?" The one who said this questioning voice was Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was sitting beside Duan Qing and looked at him coldly: "Even if all the imperial nobles nod in agreement, we won't agree." ”

"I know this violates the justice of the world, but many things that happen in the Frey Empire cannot be judged by justice." Amman smiled and pushed his hands: "Besides, even if His Majesty the Emperor really means this, the nobles who are dependent on the other heirs will not stop there." ”

"Listen to what you mean...... His Majesty the Emperor is not willing to admit this matter at the moment? Duan Qing was keenly aware of the abnormality in the other party's words: "That Dreyner, what does he want?" ”

"That's what I've been trying to figure out all along." Amman smiled bitterly and shook his head: "As a member of the Imperial Nobles, my status as the president of the Adventurers' Guild will not help me much in this land of Redkar, and once something difficult to deal with arises, my old life will not be spared." ”

"That's one of the reasons why I sent my daughter to such a remote place in Santeleus." Speaking of this, he sighed vigorously: "It's a pity that in the end, she didn't escape the fate of being implicated." ”

"You're referring to the fact that she finally intervened to stop His Royal Highness." Recalling the scene that happened in Tanzanian City, Duan Qing also shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's all about preserving life, and no one dares to criticize her behavior." ”

"But as soon as she made her choice, we had to assess the risks." Amman's old face gradually became serious: "I have been observing the actions of that majesty during this time, hoping to discern his last intentions, but unfortunately neither the judgment of Volavos nor your judgment can draw any conclusive conclusions from his decision...... That's right. ”

"Since you're one of the parties, you should have some different feelings, right?" Speaking of this, he looked at Duan Qing and Xue Ling's faces with hopeful eyes: "What do you think His Majesty the Emperor thinks?" Will they let you go? ”

"It's a really hard question to answer."

Scratching the tip of his nose, Duan Qing secretly glanced at the Xue Lingphantom Ice beside him: "And even if we escape from the charge of rebelling against the Empire, we may not be able to conclude that His Royal Highness has lost the trust of Drenier......"

"Well, you have a point." The old man bowed his head deeply, as if he was in deep self-thought: "And Friedman has just ascended to the position of Minister of Trade of the Empire, but the expansion of the Date family has been temporarily curbed by His Majesty......"

Sure enough, he is still a scheming nobleman.

Drawing the same conclusion from the eyes of the female companion beside him, Duan Qing coughed his throat: "Because of the lack of understanding of the intricate relationship between the nobles of the empire, we don't have much to judge about the trial in that palace, and the purpose of our group is very simple, just to seek some self-preservation in this frenzy." ”

"We've come this far, and it's really hard to ask for self-preservation."

I don't know if the two people in front of me are commenting on their current situation, Amman, who took a hard breath, then turned his head with a smile: "But don't worry, since Hannah has taken a fancy to you, as his father, I will naturally do my best to help you." ”

"Trust me."

Exchanging glances with Xue Lingphantom Ice again, Duan Qing, who had the same smile, nodded in response, but the words that he originally wanted to say were buried in his heart by the doubts that gradually arose, and were replaced by more and more obvious formulaic expressions: "Since we are adventurers, it is our duty to obey the president's arrangement—please give an order, what do you need us to do?" ”

"Don't dare to give an order or anything, it can only be counted as a request." The old man hurriedly waved his hands: "I hope that you will be able to bring some of the news I know to His Majesty Drenier when you meet the Emperor next time." ”

"Oh? What's the news? ”

"An adventurer once met Prince Chris when he was stationed in Tanzania and told him some stories."

Slowly saying this, Amman's old face gradually revealed a bit of mystery: "You can arrange the content of the story and the names of the adventurers at will, but the general meaning is correct." ”

"Storytelling?" Closing his gaze from the surroundings of this simple room full of bookshelves and documents, Duan Qing asked with a strange expression, "What story to tell?" ”

"Who knows, maybe some kind of ghost story?"

Shaking his head in a slightly embarrassed way, Amman's old face became tangled with the hesitation of his voice: "The most I know is this far, and the rest of the things that happened in Tanzanian City, I, who is far away in the imperial capital, must not know as much as you, right?" ”

"That's why I want to tell Your Majesty this information through your mouth, because the information you tell is obviously more convincing." He stroked his beard and walked in front of the two of them: "Of course, if you want to take this opportunity to frame any adventurer who doesn't like the eye, even the adventure group, I personally don't have the slightest opinion, hahahaha!" ”

"I see, a weapon that can be used at will, right?" Duan Qing, who had been silent for a moment, looked up at the other party's face: "But I don't understand, why are you ......?" ”

"Let's just pay back some love for my daughter." Knowing what Duan Qing wanted to express, the old man interrupted the other party's words with a smile: "The Adventurer Association of the Imperial Capital, you can also use it as you like in the future, as long as you don't cause any big trouble, treat this place as your home—"

Dangdang's knock on the door then appeared behind several people, accompanied by a deep inquiry belonging to the young black-clothed nobleman who had brought people over before, and Amman, who had stopped laughing, then nodded at Duan Qing, and then invited the subordinate in: "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please." The nobleman's subordinate still didn't raise his head: "He hopes to see your lord now, and the place is in the royal courtyard." ”

"At a time like this?" Glancing up at the window, Amman asked with a slightly strange expression, "Didn't His Majesty the Emperor say anything?" ”

"It seems to be for the sake of the castle of Thebilisi."

There was a little silence in the air again with the appearance of a certain word, and at the same time, several figures present appeared at the same time with serious expressions on their faces, Amman, who stood in place and thought for a moment, then nodded heavily, and then showed an apologetic smile to Duan Qing beside him: "I'm sorry guys, it seems that I can't do my best to entertain you today." ”

"Feel free."

Spreading his arms and signaling to the two of them, the old man's thin right hand then moved in the direction of the door with his equally thin body, and then disappeared into the eyes of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantice with the young nobleman after a strange detour.
