"What?"

Moving from street to street, the man still dressed in gray magic robes had reunited with his teammates, and the crisp autumn breeze on January 5, 796 in the new calendar, also passed along the edge of the street with their brief exchange with each other, and then at one moment was startled into the sky along with the rolled up leaves and the eyes of several passers-by: "You saw Ayina? She, she shouldn't-"

"Ah, by the way, you should know about her, too."

Pinching his eyebrows, Duan Qing waved his hand slightly at the Xue Ling Phantom Ice in front of him, who had re-logged on, he shook his head in the direction of Asahi Dongsheng and Gedemayne on the other side, who showed a confused look, and then explained with a reassuring look: "Don't worry, she's fine, at least she looks much better now than when she followed me, and even her speech seems to have become smart......"

"Are you talking about the guardian spirits in that Sky City?" Tapping his chin with his finger, a sudden look flashed in Gedman's eyes: "I've heard people talk about that thing on the forums, and I heard that it's a beautiful figure that players often encounter when they encounter trouble and conflict...... What do you think? Is she really a beauty? Isn't it amazing? ”

"Beauty or something, you get used to it after watching it for a long time." Shaking his head, Duan Qing then dodged the two secret attacks on his side: "As for whether it's powerful—"

"The two of us were expelled anyway." He pointed to the Thousand Fingered Crane beside him, and at the same time put on a helpless expression: "Although I don't know what happened to her, but her spatial control ability should be top-notch, as long as she is willing, all the magicians in Sky City may not be able to resist her expulsion power." ”

"By the way, you went to Sky City, right?" Crossing his waist, Xue Ling's gaze stayed in the direction of the red-haired girl behind Duan Qing for a moment: "What are you going to do in that place?" ”

"Of course, I'm going to ask for help." Pointing at the figures of the magicians flying back and forth in the sky above Tania, Duan Qing replied with a dry smile: "I won't go into the process and the like, in short, we have enlisted the assistance of the Mage Council, and they will help us remedy the leylines of Tania while saving Tania's fate that is about to be shattered." ”

“…… What does this mean? ”

"They should interfere in the troubles between the Empire and the Duchy." Facing the shifting gazes and blurted out questions from several people in unison, Duan Qing, who had spread his hands, explained in a low voice: "As long as the negotiations between the two countries can be resolved smoothly, Prince Chris and the Fool Adventure Group should also be liberated from this whirlpool, and when the time comes, whether it is the person or the truth, we will be able to get it smoothly." ”

"How can you talk about the Mage Council?" The surprise in the eyes of Asahi Dongsheng, who was carrying a giant axe, became even worse: "How did this neutral organization listen to you?" Did you go to Wiggins? ”

"Maybe, probably, almost." The corners of his mouth twisted slightly for a moment, and Duan Qing, who was touching his nose, concealed his increasingly embarrassed face: "In short, the policy of the Mage Council has changed, and they will fully cooperate with us to accomplish this goal." ”

"As for what the price will have to pay after that, let's talk about it later."

He turned his head and walked slowly towards the looming ruins at the end of this straight street, and the people who were left in place also looked at each other, and the surprise in their eyes gradually turned into a look of confusion: "The price? Commander, did you promise anything to others? ”

"I, how do I know? This kind of thing should be asked of him! And you! Do you know anything too? ”

In the embarrassing reaction of several people asking each other and the Thousand Fingered Crane's resignation, Duan Qing, who walked forward by himself, soon came to the direction of the temporary council hall near the center of the ruins, and the damaged pillar, which was still surrounded by water, gradually burst into a commotion at this time, and dispersed in the surrounding crowd with the scene of several magicians constantly flying in and out. Surprised by the speed and efficiency of this action, Duan Qing, who paused for a moment, then quickly withdrew his gaze from those magicians, he desperately squeezed his head into the interior of the crowd, but what he saw was only the scene of the meeting inside the originally lively hall gradually dispersing: "Okay, okay, everyone left the venue in an orderly manner, so many days have been hard." ”

"It's over?" Blinking his eyes, Duan Qing then quietly pulled Lot, who was closest to him, over: "What is the situation now?" ”

"The Mage Council has taken in the Fool Adventure Band, and vouches in their own name that they will not let them go easily." Putting away the vigilant look on his face, Lot, who was still in charge of the Imperial side's defense tasks, replied quietly: "The matter about the negotiation has also been stopped by these magicians, they want us to focus on dealing with the disaster in front of us, I heard that Her Royal Highness Princess Rena also agreed to the royal magician's request for cooperation to provide more magical support for the restoration of the leylines......"

"The principality naturally accepted this proposal, after all, this is what they need most now."

I don't know when I walked to the side of the two people, and Her Royal Highness Princess Rena, who was just mentioned by Lot, then also raised her voice: "As the party who asks the guilt, we have no reason to refuse for the time being, at least for the sake of humanity, we have to wait until the whole city settles down." ”

"Report your situation." She looked around at the crowd of onlookers who had also begun to make noise because of the news of the dissolution of the meeting, and then her body stood on her side and put on a luxurious posture unique to the royal family: "Are these magicians invited by you?" ”

"I don't dare admit it." Facing the other party's bright eyes hidden behind the hat veil, Duan Qing unconsciously lowered his head: "But if the Mage Council really comes with an attitude of solving problems, there is nothing wrong with accepting their proposals. ”

"I've heard that you've unearthed a lot of other information during the time we've been negotiating." The white veil that appeared in front of Duan Qing swayed up and down as she whispered, and Rena then lowered her voice a little: "Have you found out the secrets of this city?" ”

"All we got was conjecture and legend, and we didn't find a way to prove it." Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Duan Qing then put on a deep expression: "What we can be sure of now is that the fate of this city is indeed closely related to the empire, and it is a good explanation that they can smoothly guide the stolen leylines here." ”

“…… Landnal. ”

Slowly calling out a name that hadn't been mentioned in a long time, Rena turned around and whispered to the middle-aged nobleman who came forward behind her, "Go, it's time for you to appear." ”

"Do the holy thing." With his head bowed and performing the courtesy of a nobleman, Landnal, who was dressed in elaborate attire and costumes, then showed a contemptuous expression to Field, who was gritting his teeth on the side: "Then I will go with Lord Diproma, Your Highness." ”

"Regarding the inheritance and bloodline you mentioned earlier, we will send someone to find out in a moment." Returning to Duan Qing's face, Rena smiled and gestured to the two imperial nobles who were gradually leaving in front of her: "Of course, this is also under the surveillance of the principality's side, after all, they don't want to let us easily see the deepest secrets about the principality. ”

"Are you referring to that central hub?" Duan Qing's eyes widened: "Not to mention the entire principality, even the people of the Fortson family probably won't agree!" How could they-"

"Have you been in contact with the Fortsons before?"

Blinking her eyes, Eldest Princess Rena interrupted Duan Qing's surprise with a soft voice with a smile: "That's probably why they agreed to let us reach those core hubs. ”

“…… The Landnar family also has a bloodline left over from ancient times? So Duan Qing closed his mouth wide again: "Do they have a way to prove my conjecture?" ”

"Landnar must participate in the Empire's investigation team, and it is for this moment." Nodding quietly, Eldest Princess Rena then slowly walked to Duan Qing's approach: "This is also the wish of His Majesty Father." ”

"He should have known this secret that none of us knew about it." She closed her eyes, as if trying to hide the expression she was recalling something: "Empires and principalities were really one and the same for a thousand years...... Scold. ”

"If this is true, I can't imagine what the two major countries will become in the future."

With a mellow body, the body slowly passed in front of Duan Qing, and the eldest princess of the empire gradually left with such a light sigh, and the royal magicians in golden robes who followed behind the princess then became the final curtain to cover the eldest princess's departure, accompanied by the last salute of Lot, who was the captain of the garrison, to say goodbye to him. The Duchy guards who were cleaning up this temporary venue also began to appear near the venue where these Imperial Investigation Teams were gradually leaving, slowly taking the place of the Imperial people who had surrounded the place, and they began to glance at the gray-robed man with torn clothes and some scars on his arms and face again and again, but his intention to drive away was finally interrupted by the voice of the other party: "Wait, wait a minute! ”

In his field of vision, the gray-robed magician once again drilled through the gaps between the countless guards, and then, with a panting expression and look, blocked in front of the black corn that was about to be taken away by several magicians: "I, I still have a few questions I want to ask him!" ”

"He's a prisoner of the Mage Council now, and if you want to interrogate him, you need to get permission from the Mage Council first." Glancing at Duan Qing with an inexplicable gaze, one of the magicians in charge of the escort then rejected Duan Qing's words in a low voice: "Leave, otherwise we will be dealt with as a hostile force." ”

"Why, at least let me finish my sentence!"

After passing through the layers of barriers composed of guards and magicians, Duan Qing's gaze fell on the black corn in front of him who looked depressed and a little confused: "Where are the other members of the Fool Adventure Group now?" What about Dream Bamboo? ”

"We've interrogated him countless times before, you think—"

"Somewhere else."

The magician in charge of the escort let out a sneer, and the action that he just wanted to push Duan Qing away and leave was then interrupted by a slight voice that suddenly appeared behind him, and the black corn that had been covered in countless magic shackles then put away his godless expression, and looked back at Duan Qing's eyes also became strange and clear: "If I can't escape, she shouldn't be able to escape either, so since she didn't appear here, then she must have been sent away in advance." ”

"The one who was in control of her."

The body was gradually taken away by the mage council's magician, and the player left his last message: "They should know her whereabouts." ”

"He, who are they?"

Shouting loudly at the backs, Duan Qing, who didn't get any more response, then slowly lowered his head, and the group of guards with unkind faces then blocked the magic light that was pulling Duan Qing's shadow into a striped appearance, which also made his gradually clenched fists blurred: "Damn." ”

"Is it the Warrior's House? Or will the shadows be? He turned his body back and forth, his gaze constantly colliding with the hidden gazes from around the hall that were dodging him, "Or is it the Players' Guild?" The previous Tingyu Building must have been very suspicious—"

"I say, do you have time now?"

The indifferent voice then sounded in Duan Qing's ears, accompanied by a figure of the Five Elements Lacking Earth who straddled the one-handed sword and approached, he greeted the Cangyun Barrier who was also leaving this place, and then returned his gaze to the rest of the players who were gradually approaching Duan Qing: "There is also Snow Spirit Phantom Ice - if we have time, how about we all find a place to talk together?" ”

"If you want to talk about it, at least it has to be someone of the level of Broken Mountain, right?" The mood had obviously become very bad, and Duan Qing, whose pupils had regained focus, replied in a low voice in a cold tone: "And we are really busy now, and there are still several places to run in the future." ”

"Aren't you interested in that fool's little girl?"

In the most simple and effective way, Duan Qing's action of wanting to leave was pulled back, and the voice of the Five Elements Lack of Earth again also brought a little smile to it: "Although I don't know why you are so obsessed with those people, but we still have some information about the suspicious movements of some Tania people who have been in and out of the crowd recently." ”

"Of course, intelligence expenses are not less." He glanced deeply at Duan Qing, who turned around, and the body that took the lead in moving forward also beckoned to the other party: "Go, Blue Mountain Tavern." ”

"You're in for a treat."
