977 Behind the scenes, noon has arrived
"Relationship?"
With a puzzled expression on his face, he blinked his eyes as he exhaled and breathed wine: "What does it matter?" Is it a staggered relationship? β
"That Lord Luxor, I find it suspicious at first glance."
Hiding the background he knew, Duan Qing looked at the other party with contempt: "Sure enough...... You two are more than just employers and mercenaries, right? β
"The main range of activity of our Flame Dragons is not here, but in the province of Thebilisi." Dudrunk Duxing smiled and shook his head: "I just didn't know what you were asking just now, so I just made a joke." β
"A casual joke? Then I'll ask you again. Duan Qing hugged his arms: "Where did you get the task of capturing the disc?" Is it the Citadel of Thebilisi, or the Adventurers' Guild of Tanzania? β
ββ¦β¦β
"Can't answer, can you? Labor and management have already been investigated. β
Looking at the other party's silent face, Duan Qing put on a smug expression: "My companion and I finally managed to squeeze into the second floor of the Adventurers' Association, and we also have the authority to investigate the records of past mission handovers. β
"The publisher of the quest is Lord Luxer, and the recipient is the Flame Drake Adventure Band." Speaking of this, he pointed to the nose of the drunken man in front of him: "You lied before, why?" β
"Well...... It's all a cover-up. β
Hesitantly touched his nose, and leaned against the wall of the alley with his body alone drunk: "After all, we are still under the banner of recruiting new people, how can we not find a reason to prevaricate in the past?" β
"Prevarication? I'm afraid it's not that simple. Duan Qing squinted his eyes: "The release time of the task shown on the records of the Adventurer Association is ten o'clock in the morning on January 4, 796 in the new calendar, and the time when it was collected is also ten o'clock in the morning on January 4 - the list was taken down before it was posted, no matter how you think about it, it feels abnormal!" β
ββ¦β¦ You've investigated so carefully. β
Tapping his fingers, the appearance of a drunk who was drunk and woke up slowly disappeared because of Duan Qing's words: "No, to be precise...... As a newly formed guild, the authority you have received is really high. β
"I happened to have completed a wanted mission that dragged on here for four years, and I have something to do with the president of the Adventurers' Association." Duan Qing still retained his smug expression: "So when we made this request, that President Hannah readily agreed. β
"You have even found out the name of the president...... Hum. Covering his mouth, his eyes became a little sharper than before with this cold snort: "Well, this task is indeed something we and Lord Luxor have agreed on a long time ago, but...... So what? β
"You're familiar with that recently emerging Imperial noble?" Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "Do you know what that disc is for?" β
"You should know the properties of that disc."
Pointing to Duan Qing's hands, he slowly took off the felt hat on his head when he was drunk: "When I asked you to help me complete the task and get the disc back by the way, I thought you would swallow it alone......"
"As a magician and alchemist, I've heard the name Orkonos." Duan Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Even if you haven't heard of this name, just looking at the introduction on it is enough to see the power of its name...... Hmph, if I could, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with it. β
"The affairs of the Sky City are still vivid, and the name of the ancient Sky Clan seems to be as loud as the Magic Empire." Dudrunk, who was stroking his chest with his felt hat, raised his head helplessly: "That's right, I am the one who was entrusted by Lord Luxer to snatch the disc back, according to the Lord's words......"
"As long as we can return the disc to Sky City, we can become guests of the Mage Council." He withdrew his gaze: "At the same time become an enemy of the restorationists." β
"The Restorationists have been looking for the disc for a long time, and even ended up snatching the head of the Novice Village." Duan Qing, who was gradually getting closer, also lowered his voice: "You who didn't have the confidence to send it back here after getting the mission props finally chose us." β
"I've always had a good eye, and I invited you many times when I was in Karlo Village before." Dudrunk Duxing grinned again: "That invitation to call each other brothers was one of the few truths I had in the novice village, but you ruthlessly rejected it...... That's right. β
"Where did the bluebird logo on your chest come from?" His gaze stayed on the surface of Duan's blue-gray magic robe: "Is it the sign of your new guild?" β
"Yes, but we set it up ourselves." Duan Qing pursed his mouth: "Since it was roasted on the fire, it is natural to roast it to be golden and charred......
He took two steps forward again, and stood in front of the drunk, the waving sleeves of his robe and the shadow cast by his body covered the face of the drunken man, and his originally low voice also carried a bit of warning: "The request of the novice village and the subsequent battle of the jungle of Gemenan are all a ploy by you to drag me into the water and hide yourself behind the scenes by the way, right?" β
"I just don't want the name Flame Drake to become too prominent throughout the incident." Drunk and sober, he replied with a senseless face: "As for you...... I didn't let you do it in vain, didn't I give you all the rewards? β
"We didn't get a penny paid for the mission, and we were even kicked out of Luxor's mansion later." Duan Qing raised one of his hands viciously: "Since we can find out the handover time of that commission, we can naturally also find out the list of guild members of your Flame Dragon Beast. β
"That guy called Shadow of the Illusion is on that list." He pointed his finger at the other man's chest: "You sent us here as scapegoats with your front foot, and kicked us away from Lord Luxor with your back foot......"
"What does that mean, brother?"
The silent silence filled the side of this small alley as Duan Qing's words came out, accompanied by the eyes of the two opposite people who gradually collided together, and after staring at each other for a while, they each took two steps back, like a western duel, widening the distance between each other: "Although this is not the effect I originally wanted to achieve, but for the sake of you working so hard to investigate to this point, I will reluctantly bear this responsibility." β
"You're just confident that you won't find out about you, so you want to fool around...... Anything else to say? β
"Absolutely."
In the scene where the faint momentum gradually rose with the flow of words, Dudrunk's hands slowly opened to both sides: "You were questioning me before, and I almost forgot what my purpose was when I came to you." β
"Did you really complete that mission?" His eyes were like torches, and the original drunken image had completely disappeared at this time: "Where is that disc now?" β
ββ¦β¦ You don't know? β
The atmosphere of confrontation between them did not change in any way, and Duan Qing, who was also in a battle posture, showed a rather surprised look: "The disc is now in the hands of the Violet Lord, and it was also given to her by Lord Luxor himself......"
"What?"
"In order to study the secrets, all kinds of mysterious things in Tanzanian City will eventually be handed over to the Violet Tower."
Looking at the other party's surprised look, Duan Qing's gaze involuntarily turned to the direction where the tall tower not far away was located: "That disc is just one of them. β
ββ¦β¦ Damn it. β
The murderous eyes gradually faded as the rolling eyeballs rolled his eyes, and he finally fully unfolded his fighting stance: "It seems that there is no time to waste any more." β
"Come when you want, leave when you want?"
Two small potion bottles appeared in his outstretched hands, and Duan Qing took a deep breath: "Don't be so anxious, there are friends from afar, I haven't invited you to a drink yet." β
"Etiquette or something, we can't talk about it another day." Du's drunken hands were clenched into fists, and he slowly shook one after the other with his swaying body: "Next time I'll please." β
"Looks like you're planning to toast and not eat and drink." Duan Qing, who had his robe sleeves held high, stretched out his arms: "And...... What is this, Drunken Fist? β
"As a wine lover, it's not a big deal to know a little self-defense that goes with alcohol."
The shaking body began to become obvious as the pace got closer and closer, but the eyes of the drunken and sober were instead revealing a sparkling light: "And ......"
"I'm not just an ordinary drunken boxer, it's also mixed with some free world features."
The sudden rise in temperature then dispersed the air around Duan Qing, and surrounded the drunken man with a hint of red brilliance, as if falling into a wine vat, the scene of sparks then turned into a raging flame, and with a deep smile on his own drunkenness, he slowly approached in the direction where Duan Qing was. The two bottles of potion in his hand were then quickly withdrawn, and Duan Qing, who was skillful, then also took out two bottles of ice-blue potions, and a voice that suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley was just in time for these two opposite colors to touch together, and a certain Taoist player appeared in the space behind the two people: "That...... I didn't bother you, did I? β
ββ¦β¦ I forgot why I came here. β
The ice and fire that almost converged stopped as Duan Qing turned around, and at the same time, there was a look of surprise after he turned around: "It's not ......"
"The timing of your appearance is a little accurate, Hongshan Laodao."
"Haha, I just sensed something was wrong."
The player, waving the sleeves of his robe like a Taoist robe, and the four words of Hongshan Lao Dao on his head, then strode in front of Duan Qing's body like a meteor: "When I asked you out before, the location I set was clearly the gate of the Adventurers' Association, but not only did I not see you, but I smelled an unusual smell of alcohol...... Not. β
"Looks like they've slipped away." He stretched his neck and looked into the depths of the alley behind Duan Qing, which had become empty: "That drunk man is in a hurry? Or do you see the strong strength of the old way? β
ββ¦β¦ Forget it, anyway, it seems a little difficult for me to be one-on-one with a full-level player now. β
Shaking his head, Duan Qing then also withdrew the ice blue potion bottle in his hand: "Then...... Your turn. β
"What are you looking for me for this time?"
"For the sake of the mission, of course."
Blinking his eyes, the old Hongshan Dao, who had also retracted his posture, approached Duan Qing's side with a hippie smile: "When I introduced you to participate in this prince escort mission before, I knew that you would definitely succeed, how about it, how have you been mixing recently?" β
"It's average, and I have suffered a lot by the way." Duan Qing shook his head angrily: "And His Royal Highness the Prince's trip is coming in the next two days, but we are still training in the barracks all day......"
"Not these two days, but today."
Like a spy who came to connect, Hongshan Lao Dao, who glanced around, then came to Duan Qing's side: "The noble group of the empire should be able to arrive today, and His Royal Highness the prince also got the news before, so ......"
"You're going to be out right away." He put on a solemn look: "This is the first show of the Adventurer Escort Regiment." β
"So fast?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then I'll be-"
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Pulling the other party's body that was about to leave, Hongshan Lao Dao then came to Duan Qing's side again, but this time, his expression obviously carried a bit of conspiracy: "Since it's all at this time......"
"I have a bigger task on my hands, do you want to hear about it?"
***************************
"Are you all here? Ready to go! β
In the barracks of Tanzanian City, the city guards led by several imperial captains also began to set off in a certain direction again in the cheers among each other, and Lot, who belonged to one of them, also sorted out his team at this time, and at the same time raised his own loud voice: "Today is the day when His Royal Highness the Prince travels to welcome the noble group, cheer me up!" If anyone dares to give me a problem at this time, thenβ"
"Report to the captain." A deep voice belonging to John Turner then appeared in his ears, accompanied by the figure of a tall thin Imperial soldier in a helmet hurrying in front of him: "Except for the few adventurers, everyone else has arrived. β
"I knew they were going to hold back!" Lott shouted angrily, "Show me which team it is!" Labor and management should settle accounts with their superiors...... What the? Is it the abyss that breaks the water? That bastard! β
"Where did he go?"
