The so-called council is actually an abbreviation used by the Mage Council to convene everyone to meet and discuss important matters, but because it has been circulated for too long, the original name of this kind of meeting is still lost in the past history of the Mage Council. As the ruling center of the Mage Council, this kind of Council is also often issued and convened by the Council of Seven, and unless there are special circumstances, all the mages affiliated with the Mage Council will put down their work and research at this time and gather together in the place designated by the Council of Seven.

In the past, due to the very small number of mage councils, such impromptu assemblies were often relatively simple and quick, but today, after nearly a thousand years, it has become an extremely huge project to bring all the mages together in a short period of time.

"It turns out that the old guy just said that the discussion was referring to this kind of thing."

Walking on the road leading to the center of the Sky City, the magician named Linyuan Broken Water sighed softly, and while looking around the city, he recalled the conversation he had just had with Wiggins: "I thought it was just a casual talk, but I didn't expect such a big battle to be made so quickly......"

"The major affairs of the Mage Council are often solved in this way." The waving hands looked relaxed and satisfying, and the Thousand Fingered Crane who followed behind replied excitedly, "It's just that I didn't expect President Wiggins to be so fast, and he started to convene the meeting as soon as he finished talking." ”

"That old man has always been so sharp." Duan Qing replied with an expressionless face: "And even if you want to do this kind of thing, you have to have the ability to do this kind of thing." ”

"Lord Wiggins is highly respected in the Council of Mages, and there is no one who is unaware of the greatness of this old man." The Thousand Finger Crane raised his hands behind his back and looked at him with a look of yearning: "Although the player group has not had much contact with the most powerful mage of the Mage Council, the older generation of the Mage Council who have become the player's mage mentor have never stopped praising this old man." ”

"But you saw the results, too." Pointing in the direction where the two of them came, the muscles on Duan Qing's face tensed a little tighter: "That old guy is just a bad old man who likes to be unreasonable." ”

"Then, that's because of you, Brother Qingshan." Her hands swayed slightly uneasily, and the red-haired girl's expression then became more exciting: "How terrifying is the magical energy that escaped when his spirit fluctuated just now, even the entire space seems to be vibrating, and you still say, you say-"

"The matter of his split soul?" Duan Qing, who paused slightly for a moment, curled the corners of his mouth and replied, "Everyone in this Mage Council, everyone should know about their Speaker, right?" Moreover, this theory of magic training is also something that every magician should know. ”

"Me, can't I just study fire magic?" The girl said stupidly, and her head immediately sank like a balloon that had been deflated: "And I've been studying magic theory before, and I don't know much about the internal structure and situation of the Mage Council." ”

"What's going on inside the Mage Council?"

His gaze fell to the surroundings of the street as Thousand Finger Crane's words fell, Duan Qing turned to pay attention to the magicians who were walking on the street with the two of them, and they didn't seem to notice that the two players were also wearing magic robes of various colors and styles at this time, and their relaxed or serious faces were invariably a little tired at this time. Three or two magicians who were walking together also flew through the sky where they were at this time, leaving only the faint sound of air screams and magic fluctuations, and the moving black dots in the sky were also as if they had been agreed before, and they gathered together in the open space where the square loomed in front of them: "Hasn't a meeting of this size been carried out before?" ”

"Yes, it must have been carried out." Thousand-fingered Crane replied with a slight hesitation, "Maybe it was because I wasn't qualified enough at the time, so I didn't accept the invitation of the Mage Council. ”

"I've been invited to be a mage who hasn't registered with the Mage Council, are you still eligible at that time?"

"That's because I'm here!" Facing Duan Qing, who took it for granted, he said angrily, and then the Thousand Fingered Crane also raised his cute eyebrows: "People didn't officially invite you, it's just that because the two of us happened to be standing together, he just invited you over!" You must know that the status of our player group in the Mage Council is very low, and the privileges that ordinary mages can get casually, we players have to use a thousand times the effort to be—"

Her voice gradually stopped, and her gaze froze in front of the square in front of them as the two people walked out of the alley, and several player-like figures who also walked out of that direction were also showing overjoyed expressions at this time, showing the image of reaching out and shaking hands with several other magicians who were about to enter the square: "...... Talent...... Talent...... Hum! ”

"It doesn't seem like it takes a thousand times more effort."

couldn't help but let out two low chuckles, and Duan Qing's pointing finger then pointed out from the red-haired girl who was a little depressed: "It's just that some people are not very good at using those means of negotiation and entrapment, so they ignore the development of this aspect." ”

"I'm a lone player, and there's no comparison at all." The girl who pursed her lips muttered a little unwillingly: "No matter how much I manage, my influence is definitely not as high as the influence of the entire Vizad." ”

"Not necessarily." Shaking his head to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing then took the lead and walked forward: "If it is an ordinary society where social relationships are paramount, a person may indeed have no way, but-"

"This is a free world, and the magicians in the free world are the ones who are supreme in strength."

He stepped forward, passing by the mages who had also walked through the square, and only then greeted the players who had stopped there just as he was about to cross the entrance to the other square: "Hello. ”

“…… Who are you? ”

The expression that was talking and laughing with the side paused for a moment, and the sunset lonely smoke who was called by Duan Qing turned his gaze back slightly puzzled: "Which line-which adventure group?" ”

"I came with her." Pointing to the thousand-fingered crane behind him, who had just caught up at this time, the smile on Duan Qing's face gradually became formulaic: "My name is Lin Yuan Shushui, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"It's you." His gaze stayed for a moment in the direction Duan Qing was pointing, and Sunset's expression gradually became much colder: "Why, if you don't continue to dedicate yourself in Tania City, you actually have the kung fu to come here?" ”

"Dedicate yourself?" His face quickly lost the warmth that was unique to Duan Qing, and the voice in which Thousand Fingered Crane replied was also full of-for-tat coldness: "Isn't it what we should do to obey the arrangement of the Mage Council and do our part to restore the leylines of Tania?" ”

"As a great celebrity of the Mage Council, it is really admirable to have such dedication." Holding his arms and tilting his face, there was no hint of praise in Sunset's tone and expression: "No wonder so many people like you, have you continued to be favored by the Great Wizard of Split recently?" ”

"Grand Split's magicians will only have inexplicable relationships with the young and beautiful female magicians in your guild, don't confuse them with me." The cold face tensed even more because of the name mentioned by the other party, and the thousand paper cranes seemed to mock in a voice pressed in their voices: "It's you—have you completed your previous mission to help Lady Herm find the lost Philosopher's Stone?" ”

"As a veteran adventure group resident in the Mage Council, it hasn't been done for so long, isn't it damaging to the image of your guild?"

Her hand slammed downward, and the handle of the Red Lotus Staff that appeared in her hand at some point also slammed heavily on the ground, and the invisible momentum then caused the surrounding air to become scorching, pressing back the Vizad people, including several player magicians. In the scene where the magicians around him avoided one after another, the face of the red robe that belonged to the lonely smoke of the setting sun became more and more ugly, and another calm voice then sounded behind Duan Qing's side, accompanied by a young figure wearing a blue delicate magic robe who walked from not far away: "The matter of the loss of the magic gem of Ms. Herm has been handed over to our Breeze Adventure Party to deal with, and we have sent people around a month ago to find the whereabouts of those goods." ”

"There are already formal results." A smug smile appeared on his face, and at the same time he reached out and gestured to the several player-looking people standing there not far behind him, as well as the large wooden boxes beside them, "This transfer commission, we can complete it now." ”

"Sure enough." Feeling familiar with the large boxes that appeared in his sight, the Thousand-Fingered Crane who turned his head gritted his teeth and whispered, "When I saw those things, I had a bad premonition...... You've broken the rules of the Adventurers' Guild! ”

The last sentence, she shouted leisurely against the headwind that came forward, and the young magician in the blue magic robe then showed a disdainful smile on his face, and the ice-blue magic ball that appeared in his hand then spun around him slightly: "Adventurer Association? Perhaps, but this is the city in the sky, the headquarters of the Mage Council. ”

"Everything has to be done according to the rules of the Mage Council, isn't it?"

He put away the corners of his mouth, and then nodded generously at the sunset smoke not far away, and the players who didn't follow him and disappeared into the side of the square, carrying the large wooden boxes with them to the inside of the gate above the steps on the opposite side. Looking at the familiar scenery that had been presented in front of him from afar, Duan Qing, who was holding his hands behind his back, then let out a sigh of amusement, he stubbornly ignored the eyes of those magicians who were still looking at him, and then the last mocking voice of the sunset lonely smoke came from his ears: "We have no intention of robbing you of your business, dear Miss Thousand Finger Crane, but Sky City is currently full of tasks, and you are only one person left, Even if we watched the loss of work slip away, the Mage Council wouldn't agree. ”

“…… That's just congratulations. ”

"It's not our fault that there are so many people, after all, every region has a place where people need to be employed."

The expression of victory appeared from the strong man in the red robe, and the sunset lone smoke then left one last paying attention in the direction where Duan Qing was: "Of course, if we can, we also hope to cooperate with the Red Lotus Magician, after all, you still have many resources at hand that ordinary people can't imagine, and it should be a better choice to develop with stronger teammates." ”

"Instead of enclosing the land and self-styled, I went to look for this kind of person who didn't seem to have any strength."

Duan Qing withdrew his gaze, and he led the rest of the players of Vizad to pass in front of the two of them, and one of them even left a more obvious sneer when he passed by the Thousand Finger Crane, making the red-haired girl's trembling appearance even more obvious: "What, what! I'm! ”

"What is that Ms. Herm's mission...... They snatched it from you? ”

Accurately found the information revealed in this series of conversations just now, Duan Qing shook his head and asked this sentence in a low voice, and the thousand-fingered crane who pursed his lips tightly also calmed his rising and falling chest with continuous deep breaths after a while, and his originally angry expression had become much calmer at this time: "That's nothing, let it be given to them, but they actually look down on you, big brother...... Hmph, this account will have to be settled sooner or later. ”

"Alright, let's go inside." Obviously feeling the girl's obviously mature temperament and always taking care of her own feelings, Duan Qing, who was silent for a moment, could only reply helplessly: "I have never seen the scene behind that door before, is that the road leading to the hall of Imoryed is behind it?" ”

"Yes, yes."

Regained his spirit, and the face of the Thousand Fingered Crane once again revealed the innocence and enthusiasm that he had always shown when he had been by Duan Qing's side before: "Let me lead the way, I am the best guide here!" Listen to me, that hall is beautiful—"

"Yo, isn't this the little sister of the Thousand Fingered Crane?"

The words full of laziness and frivolity then sounded behind the two of them, stopping the red-haired girl's movement to move forward again in mid-air, and her face was a little stiff, and then she slowly turned her head, and together with Duan Qing, she brought a man with a disheveled beard and looked like a homeless man into each other's eyes.
