"According to the intelligence of our informants, the news of the fortress of Fars was delivered to the city of Tania the next day with the fastest cavalry. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Earl Tasker, the current captain of the city defense, was having a banquet at his home at the time...... Uh, resting at home, looking defenseless. ”

Visel folded his hands and looked in the direction where Duan Qing was: "He broke a few of his beloved vases at that time, and he was furious for a while, and finally led people out in anger and ran towards the command post in the north of the city, with a nervous and anxious expression...... It doesn't look like a fake. ”

"That's ...... Yesterday's thing? ”

"yes, he's not here anymore." Visel's fingers tapped the back of his hand: "The village of Taran, which is closest to Tania City, is the most suitable place to build defenses, and he is there now, directing the arrangement and preparation of close defenses, since the war has developed to this point...... Those who are in high power will also have to start preparing for possible invasions and city defense battles. ”

That is to say...... Are they more dedicated now? Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "For the safety of the principality?"

"The Pamirs can die, but the principalities can't be chaotic."

The man in the black gown lowered his eyes and suddenly said something like this: "This is the first thing that Fortes said after learning the news the night before, based on what we know about them...... Such a statement should not be said by a person who wants to murder the Speaker. ”

"Even so, it is still possible that they were the culprits who planned the assassination." Duan Qing shook his head and said, "And...... How do you know that the nobles are of the same mind? Maybe some of them have their own calculations......"

"They are of one heart." Visel spread his hands and said, "This...... If you've ever been in a mansion, you should know. ”

“…… You mean Stanford? ”

"It's not just him, Bor, Korenia, many, many nobles...... They are all of one mind at the moment. Visel exaggeratedly gestured his hands: "For the sake of ...... Some kind of purpose. ”

"What purpose."

"Oh, that's beyond the scope of the topic." Visel shook his head and said, "Anyway...... That's all I can tell you, and for more things, either pay or ......"

He looked at Kima behind him, then blinked, "Guess for yourself."

“…… There's no hint or reward, guess what. ”

Standing up helplessly, Duan Qing made a gesture of contempt at the man in front of him, and then in the commotion that suddenly erupted in the darkness around him, he turned around and walked towards the door of the tavern: "I'm still ...... Figure it out for yourself. ”

"I hope we have this meager piece of information ......" Raising his hand to stop a few of his men who wanted to rush over, Visel shook his head and said, "It didn't interfere with your judgment."

"Not necessarily." As that back gradually disappeared, Duan Qing's voice became farther and farther away: "At least...... I won't trust anyone anymore. ”

Stepping out of the darkness of the tavern, he let out a long breath and looked around as he walked in the other direction of the city. The silence and uneasiness did not surround him for long, and as a familiar juggling figure suddenly appeared at the end of his field of vision, a sudden black figure also appeared quickly from the corner of the alley, and silently joined his side: "You shouldn't be mixed with Hank."

"Uh-huh...... Let me guess. Looking at the male figure in front of him, who had changed his appearance, Duan Qing pushed his hands and asked, "Are you Kima...... Is that right? ”

"The Shadow Society has always been a neutral organization, and no matter what happens around this continent, we have nothing to do with anyone." Ignoring Duan Qing's inquiry, the man known as Kima continued to walk in the direction Duan Qing was heading, like a passerby who had nothing to do with it and walked by chance: "But...... That Hank's actions broke that rule. ”

"He's robbing us of business." Without waiting for Duan Qing to ask his own question, he replied to himself, "Business related to the dark side."

“…… When did the House of Warriors become such an organization? Duan Qingtou asked without looking back, "Still robbing business with you?"

"No, not a warrior's house." Kima whispered, "It's just Hank, and his Valya Tavern...... I'm doing something out of the ordinary. ”

“…… Interesting. Looking at the crowd of onlookers who were getting closer and closer in front of him, Duan Qing was still facing forward: "I know, but there is nothing I can do about this matter, because our group leader has been very fond of running the black market recently, and our adventure group has also made some deals with Hank and them......"

"You can shift the goal of the collaboration." Kima's voice hesitated for a moment: "Our shadow will ...... There has never been a shortage of such commissions......"

"What's going on lately, we adventurers have suddenly become such a hot talent?" Duan Qing let out a low chuckle: "Even your shadow society wants to tie us up, and then benefit each other, huh?" You guys......"

"I'm afraid it's not for the so-called resources, right?"

He suddenly stopped his steps, and looked back with a serious face: "Those ...... located underground"

His lips crooked, and he had to stop talking, for the man, who was like a passerby, walked past him as if he had never spoken to him before. Reluctantly putting down his outstretched hands, Duan Qing shook his head angrily and laughed, looked up at the sky above his head, but a subtle voice passed through the noisy noise created by the crowd of onlookers not far away, and accurately came to his ears.

"We'll talk about it later."

"You stupid ......," Duan Qing shook his head again and said, "In this way, if you can get someone, you will have a ghost."

He turned around and sighed at Rex, who was performing in the crowd, and then ignored his magic show and the frequent applause of the onlookers around him, and walked past them - he had been distraught by all kinds of information, and he didn't seem to be in the mood to find out where the words of a certain drunk man that night came from, but the next moment, a petite girl's voice suddenly stopped him: "Hey, isn't that Brother Qingshan?"

"Are you ......" Duan Qing, who stopped when he heard the sound, turned his head again, and then gradually raised his gaze along the source of the voice: "You are the ......"

"Hello." Spartakus, who was holding his hand, showed a helpless expression, and then greeted Duan Qing: "Mo Shang Qingshan."

"Uh......" Duan Qing's eyes widened: "Why are you here?" ...... over there."

"We got out of there early." Looking into the eyes of the girl who had once again been attracted by a certain magic show, Spartak replied with a blank face, "Just after you left."

"What about the battlefield dungeon?" Duan Qing asked, "Haven't you been there for a long time?" How do you say that you can just go? ”

"I'm not a good person." Looking at the crowd of onlookers who had become boiling again, Spartak frowned his eyebrows, but the little girl next to him looked happy, and then smoothed his brows: "The battlefield, the dungeon, and the battle between the two countries are just the joy of fighting for me. Rather than keep fighting around that place, it's more fun to find a few masters......"

“…… Well, now that the fortress has fallen, it doesn't matter if it's there or not. Duan Qing scratched his head, and then said calmly: "Although I don't know if the situation will change if you stay there, but it is a good thing to stay away from the quagmire of war, that kind of scene...... It's better to know a little less. ”

"I love fighting." The man in armor with his chest half-exposed shook his head lightly, and then said something like this: "Playing against players like you is the only thing I want in this game."

"Uh......"

"But...... This guy isn't fit to stay there. Pointing to the little girl with braids next to him, his tone softened again: "So when she asked to go somewhere else, I immediately agreed."

“…… Is she your sister? ”

"No, I don't know her."

Still in that indifferent tone, Spartak said the fact that Duan Qing was extremely shocked: "I'm ...... I met her a long time ago, and then I ...... We've been staying together......"

Pedophilia reality version!

Duan Qing shouted in his heart, and the muscles on his face twitched: "Hehe, ahhahaha, then you are really fateful, and you can travel around the continent and travel around together...... Did you travel to Tania? ”

"Yes." Spartak replied dryly: "The next step may be to continue east, all the way to ...... Let's go to the beach. ”

"Something about the principality...... Well, forget it. Duan Qing hesitated for a while, then shook his head: "You probably won't care about the things here, so I won't tell you...... It's better to leave quickly. ”

"Are you talking about the Imperials?" Spartak showed a strange look: "Those guys who have already touched the city?"

"What? Have they already touched the city? Duan Qing was shocked: "Why is it so fast?" Didn't Tasker defend Taran? Is it ......?"

"Well, maybe I didn't make it clear." Spartak immediately shook his head: "When I entered the city before, I saw a few familiar faces...... I've fought them on the battlefield, so I still have some impressions of them......"

"They came into town with me." He added at the end: "As an adventurer."

“…… Something is going to happen. ”

Duan Qing sighed, then wiped his forehead: "Do they really want to turn this place into a battlefield?" Hey, a good plan......"

"Sounds serious...... If you need help, you can let me know. Spartak, who was facing away from the crowd, lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his hands and showed a rather hideous smile: "After fighting them for so long, they seem to be ...... I haven't given up yet. ”

"What did you say?"

“…… It's nothing. ”

Faced with the words of a little girl who suddenly turned around and asked, the man's originally hideous face immediately softened again: "Do you want to see other places?"

"Hmm...... No. The little girl named Bean Cake Cat immediately shook her head, and then looked at the performance in the human slit with her braids in her braids: "I want to see magic!" There is no such program in reality! ”

“…… All right. Spartak shook his head, then straightened his strong and broad back again: "Are you familiar with this place?" If you don't mind...... We needed a tour guide. ”

"Uh...... To be honest, I'm not familiar with the city yet. Duan Qing shook his head and said, "And I have other things, so ......"

"You can go to the Adventurer's Guild." Looking at the other party's slowly stiffened face, Duan Qing finally pointed in a certain direction of the street: "The station of our adventure group is right there, it is a small room that is temporarily lent to us to live, if you are lucky, you may be able to meet our group leader, or a few members who stayed there, how well they know this city...... Much taller than me. ”

"It's ...... Is there an up-to-date way for your guild to solicit members? Spartak gave a mocking smile.

"Guilds? There are only six of us in our adventure group, and one of them is still pending, so it can't be called a guild, right? Duan Qing pouted disdainfully: "And...... Do you think it's easy to join our adventure group? Let's pay three hundred and twenty-eight first! ”

"Three...... Three hundred and twenty-eight? What do you mean? ”

"Gold coins, of course."

In the crowd, Duan Qing looked at Spartak's increasingly puzzled expression and showed a weird smile.

"You have to earn it by doing your own tasks."

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

"The extreme of swordsmanship, even in the most ancient periods, there is not a single book that can describe it in complete words, because every person who can be called a master of swordsmanship has no intelligible record of the swordsmanship they have mastered. In the words of Ritter Roland, the master of swordsmanship who once assisted Frey the Great, the ultimate swordsmanship tended to be a state of energy and magic, both in terms of moves and internally, and with something that can be called artistic conception, out of the ordinary category of slashing and blocking. It may sound incredible, but there are indeed some people in history like Queris and Ketra who have shown the same realm......"

"What is this?"

Slapping the book in his hand on the table, Duan Qing took a long breath, and then turned his head to look at the old man beside him: "How many more books do I have to read to be qualified?"

"Well, if you find it unbearable...... said the old man sitting in the corner sleepily, "you can choose your favorite book to read."

"......Shh

Putting down the books in his hand angrily, Duan Qing patted the table and took a step forward, then put his hands on his waist and walked to the nearest row of bookshelves - after visiting the Valia Tavern that was not open, the Valletta Hospital, which was strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and Anvina's house, which was unattended, Duan Qing, who had nowhere to go for the time being, finally remembered this strange library in the north of Tania and the mysterious old man in the library, so he came to this place with the idea of "what the other party might know". However, the old man didn't seem to have any great enthusiasm for Duan Qing's coming this time, and there was no positive response to Duan Qing's question, except for the seemingly endless task of sorting out the bookshelves and recommending books, which still fell on Duan Qing's head after two days, as if he had become a frequent visitor here and a free worker in the library.

Of course, if Duan Qing asked questions about the content recorded in the book, the old man would still have a weak answer.

"What era is Ketra?"

"From 495 to 520 in the new calendar, the master of swordsmanship who ruled the continent, for a detailed introduction, you can read the biography of his character, counting the third bookshelf from the left-hand side here......"

"What is the ultimate in swordsmanship?"

"It's magic."

“…… No kidding? ”

"Well, it's not magic, but it's pretty much it. The elements, or all the powers of the Free Continent, will be borrowed to a certain extent by the ultimate swordsmanship, thus achieving a kind of unity. ”

“…… About this text: The limits of strength need to be explored, otherwise they will decrease with incomprehensible laws...... What does this phrase mean? ”

"This ......"

The sleepy old man opened his eyes for the first time since Duan Qing's arrival, but what was revealed was not sleepy eyes, but some kind of strange essence.

What does it refer to...... It's actually a prophecy. ”
