Xue Ling Phantom Ice's words didn't seem to be a joke, and Duan Qing was really driven out of the small dilapidated house by the cold-faced woman and Violet, until the so-called Qingling Office had finished a busy day, and finally even ran out of dinner, he was not allowed to step into the temporary base camp of the Qingling Adventure Group again. After passing by the door a few times halfway, the strange gazes belonging to Asahi Dongsheng and Gedmayne also passed the door of the gray-robed man with a wry smile several times, and their eyes rotated several times on Violet, who was also frozen in place behind him and him, and finally landed their uncertain inquiries in the dilapidated house that Duan Qing couldn't see: "I said...... Why don't you let the two of them in? ”

"Is there one? It's just that the two of them don't want to come in, so I don't believe you to ask them. ”

"This, that's, ahhh......h Anyway, that person should be Violet, right? The one we've been escorting before? ”

"Yes or no—would you just ask him yourself?"

As if sensing the murderous intent revealed between the cold-faced woman's words, neither of them really went to Duan Qing to verify the answer to the question as Xue Lingphantom Bing said, they invariably chose to shut up and pass by the extremely pitiful-looking magician sitting by the door, and at the same time did not forget to leave him a look of concern for the poor man. The same situation continued until the early morning of the next day, and when a new day began again, the members of the Qingling Adventure Group, who had been doing their best to repair the dilapidated house, finally put on a simple façade that could barely welcome outsiders, but the lines introduced still changed slightly: "Welcome to the Qingling Adventure Office, we will serve every customer who arrives with the best attitude, I am the head of the group, Xue Ling Phantom Ice, and I am also the director of this office." ”

"He's the rising sun, the 58th level of our adventure party...... A high-level warrior who is not only good at combat and adventure, but also good at intelligence spying and trading. ”

"This is the shield bearer of our adventuring group, Gedmayne, and he is also a high-level warrior, he is good at positional assault and street fighting, and he is also very good at group operations and team command."

"Well...... This is our protégé. ”

It seemed that someone had asked a question at the door of the small shop, which gradually became lively, which made Xue Lingxuan Bing say such an answer with a smile on her face, she looked in the direction of Duan Qing, who was looking up and pretending to be stupid, and blinked her eyes, and then tilted her head without any guilt and continued to introduce: "That's what the janitor meant." ”

"Hey, don't go too far."

Saying such words in a hanging voice, Duan Qing, who was sitting on the side of the street, folded his arms and retracted his rolled eyes: "Even if I don't take into account my identity as a magician, my current ability is much greater than what you see." ”

"Oh? Is it? Turning his face with a smile, the smile on Xue Ling's face became more and more dangerous: "Then please explain to this guest why you have been squatting at the door, Mr. Linyuan Broken Water?" ”

“……”

"And you're still level zero."

Looking at the other party's speechless embarrassed face, Xue Ling's smile also bloomed even brighter: "Are you going to use your zero-level strength to prove to this guest that you are worthy of the status of a qualified adventurer?" ”

“…… Okay, okay, I'm just a relative who came here to admire, okay? ”

Hiding his expression in the action of turning back again, Duan Qing said in a helpless tone: "I am the group of relatives and friends of this Qingling Adventure Group, and I came here from the novice village to take refuge in the thigh, because I have no rank and no strength, and now I have to do the work of guarding the gate here......"

"Help carry this big sword and watch the gate." The voice belonging to the rising sun then remembered in his ears at an inopportune time, accompanied by the action of him squeezing his eyebrows and shoving a heavy sword over: "Other guests want to register, and their belongings will be stored with you first." ”

"What, what? I'm not a carry-on gear store! ”

Using all his strength to pick up the big sword in his arms, Duan Qing shouted loudly without a fight: "What kind of guest, registration, whatever, do you think I really don't know where you are now?" You're not ready to get started yet! ”

"Oh, everyone is working hard for this firm, and what else is yours and mine." The figure of the rising sun has been submerged to an unknown place at this time: "As for whether it has officially started......

"As long as you serve the guests here, won't we start here?"

Looking at the last trace of afterimage that was gradually submerged by the crowd, Duan Qing, who stretched out his hand, retracted his voice helplessly, and the guests who came and went slowly occupied the street where this dilapidated hut was located as the number of people visiting here gradually increased. Perhaps due to the more powerful influence brought by yesterday's events, the idea of these guests intentionally patronizing seemed to have become a little more enthusiastic than yesterday, and this also made Duan Qing, who originally wanted to continue to protest, withdraw his hands with a loud voice: "Hey, for the sake of outsiders, I am a member of the first generation of the Qingling Adventure Group plus the first founder of the Qingling Wanshi House, so I won't worry about you first." ”

A pair of white hands then stretched out into Duan Qing's arms, and slowly took the heavy big sword, Duan Qing, who noticed this abnormality, then also stopped his words, and looked at Violet who followed with a surprised gaze: "You-"

"Looks like I've caused you a lot of trouble."

Smiling and shaking her head, the purple-haired woman, who was still wearing a black cloak, leaned forward and whispered, "Since I have caused you these troubles, let me help you a little." ”

"No, no, no, please don't say that." Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hand and denied, "They're just, uh...... They're just joking, they're just joking, they don't really want to target you, they target me by the way......"

"Okay, okay, I know."

Smiling and nodding her head, Violet didn't show any pride or indignation that belonged to the Great Magician: "It's just because you brought me back to you a 'wild woman', so she's a little angry, isn't she?" I admit that my beauty and charm are indeed not comparable to ordinary people, and I will wait for her to dissipate this sourness herself......"

I'm just afraid that when other people come, this kind of sourness will become even more.

Such a thought flashed in his heart, and Duan Qing, who kept a smile on his face, replied with a sigh: "No, it's not your fault, when this matter is over, I will also explain it to her well." ”

"No, that's fine."

Weighing the weight of the big sword slightly, Violet, who seemed to feel very relaxed, turned her head with a smile: "My purpose is just to stay by your side, it doesn't matter much about the attitude of other people, even if there are more people who are jealous of me than there are people in this city, this decision will not change anything." ”

"Besides—seeing more wonderful stories is not one of the reasons why I follow you, isn't it?" She turned around with her sword in her arms and looked at Duan Qing's face with a mature and playful gaze: "If you look at it now, the life around you is really as wonderful as I imagined." ”

[Contract Mission: For this more exciting world, completed.] 】

[Violet's reputation is upgraded to close.] 】

[Violet chooses to become a follower.] 】

[The hidden condition verification is completed, and the contract is successful.] 】

The timely system prompt then sounded in Duan Qing's ears, and his gradually widening eyes kept surrounding the purple-haired woman: "Deed, the contract is successful?" How come I hadn't heard of it before—"

"Ah, of course you can think of it as a contract." Seemingly unaware of the system's prompts, Violet replied with a smile, "As a member of the magicians, of course we value the spirit of the contract between us, and since you've shown me the side I want to see, I'm sure I'll agree to this agreement between us, won't I?" ”

I see, that's how it works.

Such a thought flashed through his mind, and Duan Qing, who reacted quickly, had to put on an expression of agreement: "This, this way, then I really can't ask for it." ”

"Oh? Looks like you've seen follower contracts before. ”

Looking Duan Qing's body up and down, Violet's eyes began to be filled with curiosity: "Let me guess...... Now that you know Luo Asong and the origin of Sky City, you must have had some kind of contractual relationship with the Ancient Magic Relics there, right? ”

"When you say that, there really is such a one." Duan Qing scratched his head: "But that was all my life, and now I don't know if the guy who can't say everything is still alive, where is it now......"

"Wow-"

The child's cry then broke the conversation between the two people, accompanied by the scene of a crying little boy being forced over by Gedmayne, as if the shield warrior, who was already busy, did not notice the conversation between Duan Qing and the purple-haired woman at this time, but wiped his sweat vigorously: "This commission will be handed over to you." ”

"What, what commission?"

"Help take care of this little one."

Pointing to the little boy who was still crying in Duan Qing's arms, Gedmayne shook off his hand with relief: "I'm not good at this, but who makes us in the early stage of development now, since there is money to be made, then such a commission still has to be reluctantly ......."

"So why did you stuff him to me!"

Looking at the other party's back back into the broken house without looking back, Duan Qing, who was at a loss, shouted in despair: "If you are not good at it, I will be good at it?" Really, I can do anything, huh? Don't forget that you made me a janitor here, and now you're going to make me a babysitter? Feed! Hey—"

“…… Alas. ”

Like a distress signal in the center of the sea, Duan Qing, who would not receive a response at all, finally withdrew his outstretched hand, and then the endless cry was like a life-threatening chain, entangled in his heart through hearing: "Don't, don't cry, okay?" Can Uncle take you out to play? You, what do you want, you say it first. ”

"What a desperate morning." The hands that had made countless bottles of miracle potions waved back and forth for a while, and he finally collapsed his shoulders in the result that the little boy did not stop at all: "No, Duan Qing, you have to calm down, since it is the task that the system recognizes and delivers, it is natural that the system should also use systematic methods to solve the ......"

The glow of magic then appeared in front of him, interrupting his newly active thoughts along with the child's crying, and the figure belonging to Violet was followed by her expressionless face, waving a white ball of light that kept swaying back and forth in front of the little boy: "This, is this magic?" ”

“……”

"Big sister, are you a magician?"

Seemingly dissatisfied with the result of the other party's lack of answer, the little boy who broke free of Duan Qing's hands threw himself in front of Violet and continued to ask, "What is this?" Is this magic? Is it big sister you use? Can you teach me? ”

“……”

Still not answering the other party's question, Violet, who remained silent, moved the steady ball of light that emitted all kinds of magical light to the side, and then slowly submerged into the surface of the great sword she had dropped on the ground in the increasingly surprised cry of the boy who had forgotten to cry. An even more obvious concussive sound then echoed in the air on the side of the street, accompanied by the strange sight of the big sword gradually floating with a faint light, and Duan Qing, who was looking at this scene, then also let out a long sigh, and his eyes were retracted from the little back of the little boy who was no longer crying pestering Violet: "It's worthy of a great magician, it's different to shoot." ”

"With such help, I think your future journey will be easier."

The voice belonging to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice then sounded behind him, and at the same time, she walked slowly: "A great magician who has recovered her sanity and memory, and trusts you a lot—this trip to the imperial capital, she is your greatest gain." ”

"Don't be so outward, that's our biggest takeaway."

Duan Qing, who shook his head and hugged his arms, then retreated to Xue Ling's side: "Didn't you see that she also took off her disguise in front of you?" It must have been the night of the previous mutation, and your every move has also won her trust. Don't worry, who will be with the two of us, and let her play with you for two days when the time comes, and let you feel the power of the great magician...... Wow! ”

The sound of pain then came from Duan Qing's mouth, twisting back all the words he wanted to say, and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was the culprit, then also withdrew his fingers that twisted the soft flesh on the other party's waist, and at the same time gritted his silver teeth with a displeased face: "Who is out with you, I just ...... I just ......"

"You wait, I'll be stronger than her."

She stepped on Duan Qing again with hatred, and at the same time loudly declared at the other party. 8)
