"You two—you're just coming to the Empire?"

The figure broke through the rain curtain in the corner of the village, and the two principality players who were traveling together then slowly walked into Duan Qing's field of vision: "It's called the Qingling Adventure Group, right?" ”

"You're members of Red Souls?"

The focus of his gaze gradually stayed on the top of these two people's heads, Duan Qing lowered his head and wiped the tip of his nose: "I don't know why you suddenly came to the door?" ”

"You know us?"

Glancing at each other, he pointed to the ID above his head, and replied with a sinister smile: "Yes, you are worthy of being a person who can blend in with the investigation team, and you have found out all our information so quickly?" ”

It's just because I know you.

Silently reciting this sentence in his heart, Duan Qing's gaze was then retracted from the two players in front of him who had a relationship: "We have heard of the great name of the Red Soul for a long time, and we didn't expect that you would be able to realize that you can charge for the principality in such a short period of time......"

"Don't think about it, we don't have such good intentions."

Interrupting the other party's words with a wave of his hand, the warrior player named Shallow Drunken Lige pierced his sharp gaze on Duan Qing's body: "But in front of you imperial people, even us red souls—"

"Stop." An arm draped in purple-gold magic robes then blocked in front of him, separating his aggressive gaze from Duan Qing's face: "Don't say too much, it will expose things." ”

"But Yuwen, he-"

"What are you doing here?"

Ignoring the protests of his teammates, the mage player named Yuwen Baiye then lowered his gaze on the magic line behind Duan Qing: "You guys are making a magic array?" In this place? Is there some kind of conspiracy being planned? ”

"It's just a routine magic exercise." Sensing that his actions had once again caused unnecessary misunderstandings, Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "And a magic array made by a zero-level magician won't make you so worried, right?" ”

"You're level zero?" The voice of the shallow drunk song then became much more suspicious: "Although it looks like your equipment level is very similar, but ...... The Empire would have invited such a weak magician to be a member of the investigation team? Is it because your empire is gone, or do you look down on our principality? ”

"You can think of anything." Pressing his forehead with his hand, Duan Qing replied in a low voice with a wry smile: "We don't have any intention of provoking, it's just that the current composition of our team is indeed like this, if you have any doubts, you can just kill me." ”

"Ha, we won't be fooled."

Two mocking laughs erupted as if provocatively, and Yuwen Baiye's gaze then fell on the magic array behind Duan Qing: "Even I rarely see a magician who can make a magic array by himself, such a magician is either a master or a person with genius-like talent, and look at you like you don't care...... Presumably, he has already thought about provoking us in this place, and then accusing us of causing disputes, right? Or are we stupid? ”

“…… This is indeed just a small anti-magic array, and it has no special function. Seemingly losing the idea of continuing to reason with these people, Duan Qing finally let out a sigh: "After the magic experiment is over, we will remove this magic array, please rest assured." ”

"Even if you explain it, we won't trust you easily." Squinting at the lines outlined behind Duan Qing, Yuwen Baiye said in a low voice: "I also found this place after I noticed the magic fluctuations, but I didn't expect to wait a minute." ”

"Who's this guy behind you?" His gaze fell on Violet: "She's not playing—she's not an adventurer?" ”

"Ah, she's my follower." As if he felt the intention of not reacting behind him, Duan Qing turned sideways with a dry smile: "I usually can't speak, so I may lose some courtesy, please forgive me." ”

"What about the followers." Glancing at each other, Yuwen Baiye's eyes then became sharper: "Sure enough, it's not an ordinary adventurer, this level actually already has followers......

"Maybe that's why someone like him was selected for the Imperial Investigation Team." A quiet voice came from his ears, accompanied by the action of the shallow drunken song on the side tapping the scabbard on his waist with his fingers: "Do we want to do it now-"

“……”

Without answering the other party's words, Yuwen Baiye's gaze roamed back and forth between Duan Qing and Violet behind him, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, and finally stopped around the purple-haired woman who looked more powerful, and finally turned to the surface of the small magic array at her feet: "You can actually keep the magic array depicted stable in such a big rain curtain...... The materials you use are of a very high grade. ”

"She won't answer strangers' questions, just ask me." Separating the other party's tentative eyes from Violet's body, Duan Qing, who took a step forward, replied with a dry smile: "The material used is not a very precious alchemy item, but just a mixture of the powder of the dragon snake bone and the magic affinity plants such as sky blue grass and phoenix flower......"

"Don't sell your damn wealth, you alchemists who only waste materials."

The green tendons on his head were exposed, and Yuwen Baiye, who raised his hand, then slowly walked to Duan Qing's side: "Lao Tzu doesn't know these so-called materials you said, and Lao Tzu can't verify the authenticity, but——"

"The efficacy and authenticity of these magic arrays, Lao Tzu can still verify it a little."

He pushed Duan Qing's body away, and then walked past Violet, who was standing still like a puppet, and instinctively drove the magician in the purple-gold magic robe to quickly skip the thought of checking this follower, and instead turned his gaze to the surface of the simple magic array in front of him: "It does look like a simple magic array, this is a forbidden rune, and then put on the elemental magic track...... Hmm, cut off from the middle? What does that mean? ”

"It's an anti-magic array." Duan Qing, who stepped forward, explained loudly: "There is also an amplification expansion circle in the back, which is also constructed in the simplest way, it will amplify the elemental disorder effect in front of you, and finally achieve the effect of disrupting the circulation of elements in the entire area......"

"That's the case...... No, no, no, no, cough, cough. ”

The look of surprise in his eyes flashed, and Yuwen Baiye suppressed his exclamation with a throat clearing motion: "I don't know what you imperial people are thinking about it, and you can easily reveal this magic principle so easily......"

"Really? I thought it was the simplest composition principle. Glancing in the direction where Violet was, Duan Qing's smile became much more embarrassed: "I learned it all under the guidance of a magician master, and I don't know the principle or anything very clearly, ahahahaha!" ”

"Don't be fooled by his stupidity." The shallow drunken Lige who stepped forward reminded with a disdainful expression: "Why don't you let this guy activate this magic array and take a look?" If anything else happens, I'll cut him right now!" ”

"No need, the effect of this magic array should work." Stretching out his hand to stop his teammate from drawing his sword, Yuwen Baiye's eyes roamed back and forth on the surface of the magic array in front of him: "The magic fluctuation just now was emitted when you tested this magic array, right?" No wonder there's an annoying aura in there, something that turns out to be used to disrupt the elementals......"

"Maybe it's because you're on a good relationship with me." Recalling what Violet had said before, Duan Qing scratched his head with a dry smile: "So the fluctuations are spreading farther than before, and the interference seems to be stronger than usual." ”

"This is the territory of the Duchy, you better tear it down as soon as possible." As if he had woken up from his thoughts, Yuwen Baiye then shouted a warning to Duan Qing: "Even if this is just a remote town, the order of this land is not something you can change at will!" ”

"Rest assured, we'll tear it down soon." Duan Qing nodded and said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed to trouble you to inspect to this point on such a rainy day." ”

"We, the Red Souls, are only operating in the vicinity now, and it is only our obligation as citizens of the Principality to ensure that this town does not go wrong, especially you Imperial people - every suspicious act of yours, we will stop it as soon as possible!"

"Okay, okay, we'll pay attention...... Is it necessary for you to do this? Just because we're imperials? ”

"Of course it's because—wait a minute, you want to talk to us, don't you? You cunning Imperials, don't want to take advantage of us all the time! ”

"Hey, you're a tall red soul, a well-known meeting in Tania, the capital of the principality, isn't it a little inconsistent with your identity to target us Imperial Investigation Team of only a few dozen people?"

"Come, do you think we haven't investigated you members of the investigation team? You have an eldest princess, a large number of imperial magnates, Arashiyama is also in your team, and your small team - I heard that the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and the Secret Whisper Ning Lan are all in your small team, and the Thousand Fingered Crane who has been following you for some reason......"

Call.

Exhaling deeply, Violet, who was looking at the distance of the path, then moved her gaze from the back of Duan Qing who accompanied the Red Soul duo to the side, and she didn't know what she was thinking about, and she didn't recover from the puppet-like state after that, but stood quietly in place and looked at the magic array at her feet: "......"

"This is not a simple effect that can be achieved with good compatibility."

She stood alone, and finally sighed in the empty rain around her, and then the invisible magic flow began to flow towards the magic circle under her feet with the great magician's thoughts, and then emitted an earthy yellow light again: "This magic circle is indeed still hiding what I want, but I didn't expect to be discovered at such a moment...... Scold. ”

"Should we say that the fates between the two of us are still closely linked?"

She looked at the countless carved lines that shimmered slightly, and then slowly followed in the direction where Duan Qing and the others left: "Forget it, since it has been detected, let's talk about it next time." ”

"I'll give up this time."

The small magic array filled with magical brilliance then brightened suddenly, and then exploded into fragments of light in the sky with a crisp muffled sound, and these crystalline fragments that filled the rain curtain were then mixed into the invisible Juanjuan stream along with the surrounding heavy rain in the footsteps that were gradually moving away.

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

"They should have fully investigated us."

After a period of time, in the Taran Village Tavern, where the sky gradually became dark, several members of the Qingling Adventure Group who had reunited were also dining together, and began to exchange information about each other: "They didn't pay too much attention to the people who weren't very famous, but at least they all knew people like Snow Spirit Phantom Ice and Secret Whispering Ninglan, as well as Thousand Fingered Cranes. ”

"This news sounds really infuriating." Asahi Dongsheng, who was gnawing on his hooves and legs, raised his head with disdain when he heard this: "Don't even give me the face of the 'Giant Axe God of War'?" I don't go around and ask around—"

"Okay, okay, this is the principality, no matter how much you ask, it is impossible to know you." Gedmane interrupted with a disdainful wave of his hand: "Unless you go and sign up for the tournament now, and then come back with a League Cup title directly." ”

"Don't say it, it's really possible now." Instead of continuing to compete with the Great Shield Warrior as usual, Asahi Dongsheng, who was patting his thigh, then showed an excited expression: "You've also heard about the situation outside, right?" The current professional league is in a mess, and if I take the money and go out to pick up leaks, maybe I can really form a championship team and come back! ”

"We won't talk about the League Cup for the time being, and the impact that shakes the foundation of the team will not fall on us for the time being."

Sighing softly, Xue Ling's voice in the center of the wine table said quietly, "Let's continue to pay attention to the situation in front of us—Gedmayne, what did you inquire?" ”

"I've heard from the guards near the town hall that the Principality's parliament seems to have been busy lately." Gedmayne lowered his voice and replied, "I don't know if it's for us to discuss, but at least it can be seen that they really don't have the energy to deal with our affairs." ”

"Huh, that's valuable information?" Asahi Dongsheng on the side pursed his mouth: "You, the guy who came to our team halfway, are not as good as our dream brothers!" Come, Brother Meteor, and tell me about your discovery. ”

"It's not a discovery, it's just that according to your arrangement, I paid a little attention to the surroundings." Squatting in the corner of the wine table, Meteor replied, holding the food in front of him, "Then I found some suspicious whereabouts. ”

"It should be from the Red Lotus Gang."
