523 Shadow Mage

"You should be rejoicing...... I've just finished my own experiment. ”

The air in the hut regained its familiar calm as the darkness faded, and the classical atmosphere reflected by the noon sun reappeared in front of Duan Qing's eyes, but he who was looking around at these interior decorations had completely lost the relaxed mood he had at the beginning - as the power of the pitch black subsided, the furniture and furnishings that had been vibrated by the strong energy gradually returned to their original appearance, and they were placed around here in a staggered manner, arranged in an orderly manner around the living room, Some of the horizontal rows of wooden shelves also placed some books, the smell of books here is more obvious, carved with various statues of unknown meaning and neatly arranged notebooks also appeared with the sunlight on the opposite side of the stairs on a desk, with some beautifully shaped pen and paper placed together, a cup full of hot water is also steaming, with its own slowly restored to the calm water surface to show the peace in this room.

The only thing that doesn't fit in with this place is probably the various bottles and cans on the shelves next to the desk, and the various unknown objects soaked inside.

"Don't worry, kid."

The black-robed woman who walked downstairs pointed in the direction where Duan Qing fell to the ground, and suspended a small chair beside him, as if in this way, she motioned to the uninvited guest who had just been rescued by herself to sit there: "I have lifted the protective magic here, so ...... It's already safe here. ”

"Aha...... Duan Qing, who was moving his limbs, laughed twice, and then rubbed his twisted arm: "No matter what, thank you a lot...... Uh, what's your first name? ”

"I'm Shanaiduo." With her hands together in front of her abdomen, the woman glanced at Duan Qing lightly: "If you think it's not appropriate, it's okay to call me Shana." ”

"Shanaiduo?" Duan Qing, who heard this name, opened his mouth wide: "Shadow Mage Shanaiduo? ”

"Yes, the last one in the Twelve Thrones."

The woman covered with black gauze smiled lightly and slowly walked in front of Duan Qing: "Is there any problem?" ”

"Hmm......"

Thinking of the black streamer that bound him before, Duan Qing's eyes became much clearer again, he scratched his nose, and his eyes hurriedly moved away from the other party's mysterious veil: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just think it's ...... A well-known candidate for the throne actually succumbed to such a remote place......"

"As you can see, I have little interest in the fights between those forces, the need for so-called gangs and thugs and so on...... Far less than they came. The black-robed woman's voice was full of a characteristic lowness: "And ......"

"Since Eduane and they are so miserable now, they should keep a minimum of a low profile...... It is also a logical behavior. ”

She folded her hands and sat back like that, and then sat down on another wooden chair that flew through the air with a slight cracking sound.

Nian, telekinesis......

Duan Qing's eyes widened again, and then she suddenly reacted to a certain name she mentioned earlier: "That's not right...... Eduin, you say? ”

"What, you know that nasty guy too?"

Shanaiduo's tone carried a hint of an inexplicable smile: "Although I hate that guy very much, we are also an alliance now, so I still know very well about his situation with his like-minded people. ”

"So, so ......" so Duan Qing pointed at the other party hesitantly: "You, and those who have restored...... You're all in this together? ”

"Restorationists?"

The black-gauzed woman looked at Duan Qing motionless for a while, but her gaze was like a substance, but her gaze shot in front of him through the veil: "Why do you say that?" ”

"Uh...... Isn't it? Duan Qing's expression became even more embarrassed: "That Jialuo, and those black mist ...... just now"

Whew-

A chill suddenly crossed his neck, startling back all the words he had just wanted to say, and the magician in front of him also lowered his slightly slashed hand, and his tone became much stiffer: "Don't compare the power of the shadow to Convina's third-rate magic, his corrosive aura...... It's just a scrap of fate that has been discarded. ”

As if sensing a hint of danger from the other party's answer, Duan Qing didn't dare to continue to question her evaluation, but after a period of silence, he cautiously changed the topic: "That...... Uh, what were you just doing? ”

"Feedback and resonance regarding the generation of magical phases and the composition of living particles."

Without hesitation, she uttered a long number of incomprehensible words, and the woman named Shanado tilted her head, as if she did not expect the other party to understand, nor did she have any interest in explaining clearly: "Although the progress so far is poor, there are still some new discoveries...... Well? ”

"Uh, ahahaha......" Duan Qing's movement of scratching his head stopped in mid-air, as he found that this mysterious and powerful boss-level figure seemed to be staring at his right hand: "That...... I didn't mean to question it, I just casually asked......"

"Really?"

The black-robed woman stared at the other party's face, and suddenly raised her hands in front of her abdomen: "Your ring ......"

"I don't think that's the answer."

A mysterious force once again encircled Duan Qing's body, and at the same time brought the suffocation sensation he had just experienced back into his facial features, but this feeling only stayed for a moment before it dispersed towards the surrounding air again. The furniture of the entire hut also shook a little as this force dissipated, and then returned to its previous calm in turn, and Duan Qing, whose nerves had been highly tense, also slowly relaxed his body, because the ring that was originally on his finger had flown to the other party's hand: "Hmm...... The exquisite ring seems to contain a hint of other energy...... No, it's not. ”

"It's Wiggins' handiwork." She asked in a low voice, "It has the effect of clearing magic...... Is that right? ”

"You, do you know Wiggins?"

Finally realizing the seriousness of the problem, Duan Qing retracted all the expressions on his face: "You, are you a member of the Mage Council?" ”

"There's something else in that." The woman named Shanaiduo did not answer Duan Qing's question, but continued to lower her head and stroke the surface of the ring: "Let me see...... Such a pure magical energy, and it is also the energy of the water system...... It's Christine's little girl's blessing, right? ”

"Little, little girl?" A trace of cold sweat began to ooze from Duan Qing's face: "You, you ......"

"The girl certainly didn't mention her age to you, and she's embarrassed to mention it, but with my seniority...... It's not too much to call her a little girl. Without raising her head, the woman replied, "As for the other elements...... This is the power of that wanderer, right? ”

“……”

Duan Qing, who was scratching his face, smiled helplessly, and didn't know what to answer for a while, but a subtle streamer broke the silence first and threw it back into Duan Qing's arms: "Is he okay?" ”

"Do you mean Rex?" Duan Qing hesitated and responded: "He, he left Tania, and now I don't know where he went......"

"Heh......"

The black-robed woman didn't ask any more questions, but sighed slightly, and finally looked at Duan Qing's face again after a period of speechless silence: "I have the ring of the orthodox mage council, and I have been blessed by two great magicians...... The Mage Council's favor for you seems to be very high. ”

"You...... Are you also a great magician? Duan Qing asked tentatively, "One of the members of the Council of Seven?" ”

"Your magical skills seem to be poor."

Avoiding Duan Qing's question again, Shanaiduo slowly shook his head: "Whether it's the cultivation of theory, or the magical energy in your body...... None of them reached the level of a magic apprentice. ”

"They would give you such an honor...... "Are you a descendant of Wiggins?" she said lightly. ”

"I'm not a rich second generation, or even a magician." Duan Qing replied helplessly: "I'm just an adventurer, taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others......"

"Oh, really?" The shadow mage with his hands folded also regained his original appearance, and seemed to be very satisfied with Duan Qing's answer: "Such an idea is very much in line with the needs of this city...... If you're really a strong guy, they should be happy too. ”

"So who am I going to die for this time......" Duan Qing muttered in a low voice, "Restorationist or candidate for the throne?" ”

"Why, don't you even know what your commission is?"

"Oxon said, my splice task this time is written in this letter."

Answering the other party's words in a muffled voice, Duan Qing slowly took out the black envelope in his arms: "But I've read it three times, and it's just such an address written on it...... Oops? ”

The strange power once again seeped into the air around Duan Qing, rolled out the letter in his hand, and then after half a circle in the air, it accurately fell into the hands of the black-robed woman opposite: "Apprentice who is not proficient in learning...... Let me take a look. ”

"If you want to see it, just say it, it's not like I won't show you......" Duan Qing, whose right hand was still raised in the air, muttered dissatisfiedly: "Also, I said that I am not from your sect...... Hey? ”

The black streamer like a flame suddenly burned from the woman's hand, completely wrapping the black letter, and then disappeared from his field of vision again in Duan Qing's ghost-like expression: "It turned out that the power of the shadow was used as a seal, hehehehe......"

Hey, it's cloudy......

Looking at the letter that was unscathed in the black flames, Duan Qing secretly scolded himself.

The hut full of peace fell into silence again, and for a while there was only the rustle of the black-robed woman quietly flipping through the letters, and after a period of silence, Duan Qing's ears finally sounded Shanaiduo's reply: "I see......"

"You want the 'Invisibility Potion'...... Is it? ”

“…… Yes? ”

Duan Qing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a snort: "Big, probably......"

"I don't know what you want that thing for, but as the owner of the Dark Arts Hut...... As long as you can afford to pay a reasonable consideration, I will naturally provide a reward. ”

Slowly shaking the envelope in his hand, Shanaiduo raised his head again, and the gaze that had been looking at Duan Qing began to wander: "But...... Crafting an Invisibility Potion isn't an easy way to do it, and I don't have much time to find the ingredients......"

"What materials are needed, you can directly command." Duan Qing immediately patted his chest: "As a qualified adventurer, even if we go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire......

"You don't need to emphasize it, it's all written on it."

As if sarcastically, he shook the envelope in his hand towards Duan Qing, and Shadow Mage Shanaiduo's voice seemed to become much more lazy: "The collection of materials, the preparation of preparation, and the remuneration...... These are all in charge of a person named Mo Shang Qingshan. ”

"Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me."

Duan Qing replied embarrassedly, "That...... How much does it cost? ”

"Two thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven free coins."

The woman skillfully reported a series of numbers, and then set her eyes on Duan Qing's face that was beginning to turn blue: "Is there a problem?" ”

"Since, free coin!?" Duan Qing jumped up from the wooden chair, and then slowly sat back in the other party's sight: "No, that...... I mean, can't it be a little cheaper for the sake of the Mage Council's face......"

"This is an open price, so if you change it at will...... My business will be very troubled in the future. Shanaiduo replied lightly: "But ......"

"If it's for the sake of the Mage Council......"

Her gaze seemed to turn into substance again, her eyes circled around Duan Qing, and finally smiled faintly in the other party's slightly uneasy reaction: "I can think about it...... Settle the account in other ways. ”

"Oh? What method? ”

"Yes, of course...... I completed the commission. ”

The Shadow Mage slowly stood up and walked in the direction of the stairs, and at the same time, in a burst of invisible manipulation, returned his seat to its place: "I'll give you a list, the locations of those materials are easy to find near Liberty City, as long as you have enough skills...... Collecting those things back shouldn't be too much of a problem. ”

A stack of pages on the desk gradually floated up with her words, and then slowly fell into Duan Qing's arms: "Come to me after the collection is completed, I can start to make it, but I have to remind you ......"

"If you come and find yourself in this situation again, don't rush in."

Her voice was magnetic and ethereal, becoming more distant as she ascended the wooden steps: "Without my control over the shadows......"

"Next time, you won't be so lucky."
