In the end, Duan Qing's story was still not told. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Christine, who had been sitting in the dark without moving, came to the crowd at some point, interrupting their pleasant exchange.

"It's a shame you didn't follow my advice, but that's okay, I'll respect your opinion." The soft voice of a mature woman is always so pleasant, but it is a pity that everyone's attention is attracted by the content of her words: "So, I also hope that you can understand the current situation before making a final choice." ”

The gorgeous blue robe unfolded with a bang, and slowly fell down with a burst of fragrant wind peculiar to a mature woman. In the swing of the campfire, the blue-robed woman sat down opposite them.

"Because...... Someone's relationship, you decide to move on. Well...... It's good, in line with the character of an adventurer, and at the same time it's ...... Troublesome. The characteristic tail sound of Christine's words, accompanied by her soft sigh after a pause, always makes people feel that listening to her is a pleasure.

"Of course, if you follow my advice and accept my protection, I can make these troubles less troublesome......"

Her words were like tongue twisters, but Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantice could still understand them. After a while, Duan Qing cautiously asked, "What do you mean, do you want us to follow your arrangement......?"

The eyes flowed, and the blue pupils crossed Duan Qing's face, and then narrowed with the master's smile: "...... Although it is not the right way with Freya's little girl, I still agree with her words. ”

"It's a lot better to talk to a smart little brother."

There was another silence, and Ah Niu next to him suddenly jumped up: "Let's mess with you, right?" Why...... Uh-huh-hmm......"

"Stop, stop!" Mengzhu on the side hurriedly covered his mouth and pulled him back.

"It is our supreme honor to be able to take refuge under the command of a great magician...... Duan Qing stroked his chest with his right hand and bowed again: "But since we have chosen this path, then we should be responsible for it...... In other words, what difficulties are there after this, and we should also face them, do you say, beautiful young lady? ”

This time, the title of "beautiful lady" did not make the other party happy again. As if touched by something, Christine fell into deep thought.

The slightly curly hair swayed with the night breeze, and the woman in the blue robe lowered her head and did not speak, the feeling of being quiet as water made the rest of the people a little confused. Duan Qing hugged his body—he was still wearing a novice suit, and that suit was not windproof—and Mengzhu next to him noticed Duan Qing's movements, his eyes gurgling, and then looked at Ah Niu, who was fidgeting next to him, and Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was glancing around with eye contact, who wanted to say something, but was stopped by Duan Qing. He nodded his chin at the blue-robed woman, signaling not to disturb the other party.

"I see." Finally, Christine nodded, then looked up and said, "Since you have such awareness......

She clapped her hands, and on her fair skin, the mysterious ornament loomed: "Then I'll briefly introduce what you are going to face." ”

She held out a hand and pointed in a further direction: "That woman in your team should want to find some ruin in the depths of the Emerald Forest, where it ......" She lowered her hand and faced the group again, "A ruin, to be exact. ”

"A site in the Frontierlands of the Old Magic Empire."

"As you know, this is the southern part of the Free Continent. But you may not know it, but ...... over this area," she gestured with her hand, "it's the Emerald Forest, and then to the south, there's a mountain range, and beyond that, there's an endless ocean." ”

She blinked, "Do you see what that means?" ”

In the crackling bonfire, Duan Qing replied first, "Here...... It is close to the edge of the continent. ”

"Yes. You are in the south of the continent, and almost the southernmost part. Christine smiled: "Although the Emerald Forest is very large, it was not like this here thousands of years ago, and in the center of the Emerald Forest today, there should be a place similar to the Frontier House." Oh, and I mean the Old Magic Empire era. ”

She stroked her hair: "Of course, this place is inaccessible now, and it is estimated that it has become a forest as it is now...... We've also gotten some from a recent survey of the flange ruins, hmm...... clues, and corroboration with known history, a final guess. ”

"A thousand years ago, there might have been a border there. And the clues show that it is not an ordinary border station, its existence is ...... There are other uses. ”

Several people have been attracted by Christine's narration of history, and even Ah Niu, who was originally a little unhappy, was also moved by the scenes outlined in these words at this time. If the evil of the city was here, he would definitely be excited, because the great magician himself told you these things will be his future bragging capital, but in comparison, the few people in front of him pay more attention to practical things. Christine paused for a moment, as if to give them time to digest the information, but it didn't take long for the black-cloaked woman to continue the conversation—she obviously knew more than the others next to her.

"The usefulness you are talking about, is it not that place, there is something like the research institute......

Christine looked at the woman again, and then said, "We don't know about this kind of thing, and this is also ...... Why we're here. ”

Several people didn't notice the important meaning of this sentence, but Xue Lingphantom Ice obviously noticed, so she couldn't hide her shocked look: "You guys...... The Council of Mages, are you ready to get involved? ”

Duan Qing finally understood, if a big game force like the Mage Council was determined to participate in the excavation of the ruins, the benefits that players could share would be much less.

Christine's face began to become serious, as if she did not intend to make concessions in this regard: "Even if Mr. Verdy is standing here, our position will not change, and it is the responsibility of our Mage Council to collect and manage the relics of the Magic Empire!" You ......."

Her voice softened again: "There are many variables in these relics, we can't let these things fall into the hands of others, and people like you will only attract more danger if they are taken." ”

"That's my advice...... with advice. ”

Even if Christine doesn't say, "The husband is not guilty of his crimes", everyone understands, but as a game, everyone is not afraid of death players, if this pursuit is not at all, then you have to quit the virtual game circle, and write the word "cowardice" on your face.

It's just that the direction of recklessness still needs to be corrected.

"We see what you mean." Duan Qing's face straightened: "We, including her......" He pointed to the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice: "We don't have the will to touch those things, we are just adventurers." ”

"Delving deep into the ruins, uncovering secrets, and reaping rewards is the duty of an adventurer. The nature of adventurers is to discover, to explore every corner of this world, for this reason we go deep into the barren mountains, steep mountains, swampy abysses, endless deserts, we foresee countless dangers, but never stop, even if countless predecessors, fell on this road full of thorns. ”

This passage was said impassionedly, and even Xue Lingphantom Ice turned his head in surprise, thinking that this guy actually had a little bit of material in his heart, and he was so eloquent in saying two sentences to the adventurer. Duan Qing ignored the gazes around him and continued to pat his chest: "Since this is the case, we have no intention of offending the interests of the Mage Council, but we want to be able to witness the birth of a new discovery, which is what drives us forward...... Final Reason. ”

"I hope you understand how we feel."

The little girl also straightened her chest and applauded, and Liu Qingniu on the side also applauded, Duan Qing put on a positive expression, but her mouth moved slightly. Next to her, Xue Lingphantom Ice was talking quietly.

"Good eloquence, quite able to speak......"

"Nonsense...... These days, how can I play games if I can't speak......"

Christine on the other side nodded: "In that case, then I'll take you over there for a visit." If you have such an awareness, you will probably be ...... in any situation you encounter."

"But ......"

Duan Qing continued.

"There are risks and benefits. If there is any discovery of our own, we hope that you will respect the small wishes of us adventurers, and for the sake of us gambling with our lives......"

"Oh......" Christine smiled whimsically, "That's ......"

"I see." She looked at Duan Qing with interest: "Discovering secrets and getting rewards is all the same, right......?"

Duan Qing scratched his head and acted stupidly. Mengzhu covered his face with his hands, ashamed of his excitement just now.

"We're not stingy either." Christine held her chin with the back of one hand and shook her head back and forth: "We don't look down on the things you adventurers want." What we need, you're probably not going to be interested in......"

"I want to hear about it." Duan Qing understood what he meant—when things came to this point, they had basically entered the final stage.

"Records related to the Old Magic Empire, in whatever form, we will take with us. There are also critical equipment, threatening weapons, scrolls, artifacts, or gems......."

Christine began to fold her soft hands and count things, interspersed with Duan Qing's "righteous words" interjections, the scene seemed to be a negotiation posture, but Mengzhu on the side listened to these words, and felt more and more that they had already begun to divide the spoils before they saw a single hair.

She secretly glanced at the black-cloaked woman on the other side and found that she was also secretly laughing, and the little girl suddenly felt that this uncle who negotiated with NPCs at a glance was really bad...... Something powerful.

This is a white wolf with empty gloves in the true sense of the word.

In fact, Christine also understands this. But with her identity and strength, she really doesn't care about these things - how can she make concessions to the things she cares about.

After going back and forth, the basic division of the excavation results of the ruins that have not yet been seen has been clarified. Duan Qing nodded with satisfaction: "...... That's basically it, and we are very grateful for the understanding of the Grand Magician...... and generosity. ”

"Ah, I said that before." Christine replied, "I like to deal with smart people, at least they don't hold me back. ”

"Then, the last request ......" Seeing that the final negotiations were about to end, Duan Qing asked the final question again: "We don't mind handing over all the relevant materials of the Ancient Magic Empire discovered this time to the Mage Council to deal with, but can you satisfy our curiosity as adventurers and let us take a look at those contents, how about it?" ”

There was no wind, and although there were glowing fireflies in the woods at night, the tranquility of the sudden arrival was still a little unsettling. It wasn't until Duan Qing felt that something was wrong that the blue-robed woman said slowly, "We...... Don't want these things to ...... Spread. ”

"We can guarantee that, we just want to ...... Know better. ”

Duan Qing smiled: "You know, adventurers are all ...... A cat killed by curiosity. ”

“...... Well, as long as you can find it, why not let you take a look. The blue-robed woman also laughed, and then the smile retracted: "But I want to warn you that if some strange rumors appear on the mainland in the future, we will put our suspicious eyes on your heads first." ”

Duan Qing nodded solemnly.

The scene fell silent again for a while, and several people were thinking about it, with some fears and some expectations for the coming future. After a while, it was the blue-robed figure who took the lead in clapping.

"Okay, it's not early, everyone rest early, and plenty of physical strength is still very important for adventure." Christine's unique soft voice echoed in everyone's ears again: "If you still have any questions, you can ask them now, and if you can answer them, I will definitely answer them......"

Before she finished her words, Ah Niu, who was sitting on the side, raised his hand as if he had just woken up from YY: "I! I have a problem. ”

Christine looked at him, and the beautiful blue eyes saw that he was a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly spoke: "Just now, what you said just now, all ...... Is it all true? ”

Burst...... Duan Qing spurted out a mouthful of old blood—if he could.

Mengzhu obviously also felt that this stunned young man was really a bit embarrassed by their adventurers, so he had to preemptively say: "That, that, I also have a problem!" ”

Christine was crying and laughing there, and when she heard Mengzhu's voice, she replied, "Oh, this little sister, what's so good about you—the question?" ”

"Hmm......" Mengzhu also shouted out in a hurry, and now he had to rely on his wit: "I...... I ......"

The little girl's frowning and thinking look is actually very good, but unfortunately due to the hasty question, she is immersed in her own entanglement: "Uh...... Well...... That's that, that's right! ”

She finally remembered something: "You seem to have said it before...... It seems to have been said...... Oops I forgot what I said, anyway......"

The little girl put her hands on the ground and swayed back and forth like a tumbler, and the golden ponytail also swayed with it: "You mage council, are you the only one who comes this time?" ”

"Oh, of course not." Christine was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect to hear such a question: "My good sister is here too, although it is a little girl who never listens to people......"

"Is that person ...... Dressed in red...... "The little girl was even more excited, Duan Qing looked at her and the ponytail on the back of her head, admiring her urgency.

"Well, it's her...... Have you seen her? Christine was really surprised this time.

Xue Lingphantasm Bing also remembered something: "Could it be that person......

"What do you know?" Duan Qing asked quietly on the side.

In the whisper of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, Mengzhu explained to Christine, "Before, we heard little Benny say ......"

“....... That's right. Christine sighed and said, "We did see him together before, and he was a poor little child......

In the midst of the conversation between the two, Duan Qing listened to Xue Ling's whisper, and his face finally became solemn.

"Miss Archmagician." He thought for a moment, and finally interrupted the conversation: "I also have a question. ”

"You should have said something dangerous before, I want to hear it...... What exactly does it mean? ”

This time, the blue-robed woman finally put away her relaxed face, and her face became heavy.
