"Your Excellency, the Special Envoy."

Perhaps it was a surprise to Duan Qing's unauthorized entry into the arena, the arena, which had become a little chaotic because of the previous battle, became quiet again, and even the city lord's young and clear inquiry voice was mixed with deliberate doubts at this time: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's my teammate, so I just want to protect him."

Without hesitation, Duan Qing replied with a calm face: "Isn't the duel under the War of the Throne not allowing any accidents to happen?" I'm just going to do my duty in advance, and besides, ......"

His gaze moved from the city lord and Reiner beside him, and Duan Qing finally looked at the tall black shadow that was close at hand: "There is this situation in front of you, the duel between us ......"

"You should stop for a while, right?"

In the violent slapping sound that sounded again, Duan Qing's hand suddenly stretched forward, and then at the moment when the dust dissipated, he pasted his palm with the oncoming iron pillar together, and the explosive aura generated by the collision of pure power completely dispersed the smoke and dust nearby, but it did not make the two figures wrestling with each other take a half step back, and raised his palm to block the attack of the beast Duan Qing, and his eyes gradually flashed with palpitations: "It is worthy of being the leader of the throne, this is the first stage, and there is actually a second stage......

"Stop."

A heavy but steady voice then appeared behind the tall body, accompanied by Reiner's figure in heavy armor, his eyes lingered for a moment in front of Duan Qing's palms that easily blocked the blow, and then placed his golden hand on the same iron pillar: "The duel is over, Stark." ”

The Beast Shadow, which was completely different from the previous short and stout body, seemed to ignore the other party's meaning, and howled and struggled to the sky, but the huge iron pillar that had been lifting weights before and was more compatible with this body at this time did not move a single inch under the suppression of the two people at the same time, and some of the other players present only focused their attention on the body of Stark, who had turned into a beast, at this time, and then pointed to his bulging nose and a pair of horns on his head, whispered about what he had seen: "It's a minotaur......"

"It turns out that such a short guy can become so huge......"

"What's the use? Isn't it still being held down by two humans? ”

"And looking at him like that, he should have lost his mind......"

"Alright."

Qing Yang's voice echoed around the arena again, falling into everyone's ears with the city lord's movements, and Stark, the buffalo man who had been struggling, also suddenly fell silent along with the surrounding voices. As if not the slightest surprise at this result, Reiner, who was standing beside him, took over the huge body that had collapsed all over his body, and then slowly left in the direction of the original grandstand while directing the surrounding guards to maintain the field. Looking at the scene in front of him steadily, the strange light in Duan Qing's eyes gradually disappeared, he smiled helplessly, turned around and showed a comforting expression to his teammates, Liu Qingniu, who had been waiting next to him, also hurriedly ran over, and picked up the scarred body of the lost dream, but what suddenly sounded in his ears was the city lord's still clear and incomparably clear inquiry: "So...... Are you one of the members of the war? ”

"It's natural because we're teammates." Duan Qing replied politely, "On the agreement that signed the commission, it is written the name of our Fool Adventure Group. ”

"But you are now an envoy of the Duchy." The figure of the city lord on the high platform leaned forward slightly: "If you hurt Your Excellency...... It's not good for you or me, is it? ”

"If you're worried about the Duchy's attitude, don't worry." Duan Qing smiled slightly: "As long as I can go back alive...... I will also report the information about the commission that I have taken over without permission. ”

“…… Very good. ”

The city lord gestured to the surrounding spectators: "Since Tristan has reached an agreement with you, we will not interfere with your actions, and we hope that you and your partners will behave in the future...... Able to live up to his expectations. ”

"Thank you for your blessings." Duan Qing waved his hand indifferently: "As long as the adults can admit the result of this duel, we will not have any objections, now...... I'm going to take a look at my teammates' injuries. ”

"Presumably, the lord of the castle is also very worried about his crazy subordinates, right?" Without looking back, he walked towards his original seat: "Can you rest for a few minutes before starting the next duel?" ”

It seemed that it was unexpected by the other party's proposal, the high platform where the city lord was located did not respond for the time being, and on the other stands looking at this scene, there was gradually a buzz of secret discussions, and the bosses of several guilds had begun to reassess the strength of Duan Qing, and their subordinates had also received orders to investigate the background of the bald horseman, and even some members of the major guilds had already run out of the arena, and in the circular square shrouded by the cloudy sky, For a while, only Stark's location remained quiet, and it wasn't until the news that the clan patriarch was safe and sound came out that Old Joel and the others who were sitting around showed their due smiles, and they looked at Tristan, who was still silent, with different eyes, and brought up the topic of duels again, but Duan Qing, who had stopped paying attention to such scenes, didn't have the heart to care about what they were discussing at this time.

"It's interview time." In his usual joking tone, he whispered to the lost dream who had also woken up and was lying behind him at this time, "Why are you so desperate?" ”

“…… Just doing my duty. Looking at the cloudy sky steadily, the voice of the lost dream was still full of unwavering calm: "Since you have accepted this job, you will naturally do your part." ”

"Please, isn't it nice to mix things up?" Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "Liu Qingniu is not at this level at all, didn't he let him come in the end...... You look like this, I can't explain it to Uncle Smile when I go back. ”

"With ...... It has nothing to do with Uncle Smiling. ”

As if pulling the wound on his shoulder, the bald man's expression finally changed slightly: "My enthusiasm was dissipated long before I joined the breeze, and in the following time, I was just messing around." ”

"But I watched your performance before, but I didn't mean to be perfunctory." The whisper on the side also laughed: "That level of attack can be reversed...... You've pushed the boundaries of the average pro. ”

"Heh......" Lost Dream let out a wry smile, and then returned to his normal expression again: "The battle just now was indeed fierce, and I haven't met such a strong opponent for a long time, so ...... It's just a whim, I want to relive the old time. ”

"Speaking of which...... Lost Dreams isn't your real name, right? Duan Qing turned around and asked, "What was your original ID?" ”

“……”

"Okay, I see, you just rest, the next battle...... Leave it to us. ”

Patting the other party's arm lightly, Duan Qing sighed deeply, and then motioned to Liu Qingniu beside him to take care of him, and turned his head to look at the high platform in the distance: "No matter how unreasonable the other side is, they should at least count the duel just now as the same fate, so that our temporary foreign aid can be regarded as a general who has fought the other side......"

"The other party is not of the same mind at all, and our next opponent cannot be determined." She shook her head and replied, "As for the general...... Stark's title of 'Northland Bison' does come from his rumored transformation mania skill, but you can also see the side effects after activation, that form will make him lose his original sanity, so ......"

"If I'm not mistaken, he's the eighth most powerful of the throne holders." The blue-haired woman whispered, "A general who is more powerful than him...... We've got a whole bunch of them in front of us. ”

"Ranking...... Duan Qing sighed and asked, "Speaking of which...... They also mentioned the term throne ranking battles before, which is where the rankings you mentioned come from? ”

"yes, so for us players...... This combat power is only an official reference. Pointing in Stark's direction, Whisper smiled confidently, "Just like the opponent just now...... If it were me, I would have won with ease. ”

"Don't brag, you second-hand swordsman." Duan Qing shook his head and said, "That kind of pure strength opponent, your kind of fighting style will suffer, if you are not careful, you will be sent back by someone else...... In the next duel, we still carefully arrange the order of the battle, in order to behave no worse than our foreign aid......"

"I'll take the next battle first."

*******************************

"In the next battle, you should fight first."

At the same time, on the other side of the arena, Old Joel and Eduan, who were sitting on the left and right of the city lord, started their respective confrontations again: "There is already a person on our side, and it has become like that in the end...... For the sake of fairness, shouldn't you send someone on your side as well? ”

"You say you'll play, why should we listen to you? We want to be happy for us, you want to be ...... That's your stupidity. ”

"Hey, at least give Stark a little face, look at his last look......"

"Didn't you end up tricking and then being beaten up by adventurers? Tut-tut...... It's been a long time since I've seen that buffalo-like Stark deflated, hahahaha! ”

"That's enough."

Finally put away his smile, and the old Joel sitting on the side interrupted the other party's ridicule with a gloomy face: "I know that you are not obliged to accept our offer to take turns, but at least it is enough to convince the others, otherwise...... In the next duel, we won't send anyone to the field, and the idle throne will be fought for by Tristan, and these few people on our side will have no objections anyway......"

"Hah, speaking of which...... That guy has the most old debts with those of you, right? Edun squinted his eyes and replied, "You are not in a hurry, and we are not in a hurry, the throne that belongs to him is ...... We'll let him do the same. ”

"Hey, isn't that just the right thing to do?" Pointing at Tristan, Huskar shouted, "Are you just watching his plot succeed?" ”

"Such an all-and-out conspiracy...... It didn't matter if he got his way. Garo replied grimly, "At least he took his life as a bargaining chip, and you don't dare to go up and gamble yourself...... And how can we blame it? ”

"So be it."

Looking at the indistinguishable expression of the high city lord, Old Joel interrupted the meaningless discussion again, then slapped the table full of food in front of him, and said loudly in the direction where Tie Lin was: "There is another person on our side, we don't care if we win or lose, after this fight...... How about it be your turn to play again? ”

"Ha, old Joel actually gave in!" Tielin, who was holding a wine glass, laughed and replied, "I should have drunk an extra barrel of wine to celebrate!" Such a scene...... But I haven't seen it for a long time! ”

"Less nonsense, do you disagree?"

“…… Hmph, even if you only consider the number of people in each other, this should be the most appropriate solution. ”

Glancing in the direction of Tielin, who was gulping wine, Eduan nodded slowly, "So...... Who are you going to send? ”

“…… Silver fox. ”

The atmosphere fell silent for a while with the silence of old Joel, and then his deep voice echoed again: "Is there a problem?" ”

“…… Of course. ”

Phillips, the silver fox, who had not spoken, played with the dagger in his hand, and then showed an aristocratic smile to everyone present: "This duel...... Didn't say you had to let me play, did you? ”

"Tristan also hired a thug on his side, and he didn't even play." Garo's eerie voice sounded again: "So if you have any suitable thugs, you can also choose to shrink up......"

"Don't irritate me, I'm not as impulsive as they are, and for my men...... I'm relieved. ”

Bowing his head slightly in comfort, the man in the silver dress turned back and waved at someone beside him whose face was covered by a hood, who nodded and got up and walked towards the center of the dueling arena. The city lord, who was also aware of the decision, also signaled to Reiner beside him, asking the other party to announce the start of the duel again, but before Reiner could make an announcement, the players around the arena were the first to let out exclamations.

Because the guy who was the first to last time has a player-specific ID mark on his head.

"Your Excellency the Special Envoy, the candidate here has been decided."

The heavy sound of breaking the air and the flat narration appeared beside Duan Qing at the same time, and at the same time appeared the heavy figure of Reiner, who looked at the latter's face, and then asked in a low voice, "...... are you going to appear?" ”

"Probably me."

Looking at the player named Falling Dream, Duan Qing replied by pressing his forehead.
