1155 a dragon
Without giving Xue Ling Phantom Ice too much time to think about the meaning of Duan Qing's words, the time had already come to the morning of March 6, 796 in the new calendar, and the people belonging to the Qingling Adventure Group then poured out of the nest just like the plan they had discussed last night, and disappeared into the city area they were responsible for - a total of 41 tasks, all of which had to be completed in one day, even if it was average to everyone, it was not as simple and easy to do as it sounded like it was to run smoothly.
Fortunately, several of them are experienced veteran players, and they already have their own arrangements in mind for the completion of the series of tasks they have received at hand.
"Go to the Ethan grocery store and pick up the goods, and take them to a large warehouse in Antel, passing through streets 1 and 2 in the city of Romu, just in time to help an old man named Ezio find his lost pet......"
"Help Uncle Stagg clean up the garbage on Crow Street, huh...... Crow Avenue is not far from Parra Street, and it will take a look at what the Roy Chamber of Commerce has to assist with the commission, and it is best to help distribute flyers and advertisements, so you can pick them up and distribute them at the same time. ”
"Can you help move the Bear Deer Comptoir's convoy to Clarkson...... Hey, it's a delivery mission, but it's actually a guard mission, and I don't know what kind of troublemakers I'll encounter halfway, so if I can't do it, I'll clean it up along the route given by the Chamber of Commerce, and go to the Roland Market to buy the jar of dragon fire wine that Uncle Peel asked for in advance......"
Sler's goal was to clean up the rats in his neighborhood, and Kurlin was given the task of spilling the box of cheese evenly on every corner of Fisherland Street...... Hmph, why are the tasks of your two families so for tat? Is it through our adventure group to secretly play a black hand on each other? Rats are nothing, and if they were to be dropped, they wouldn't be as effective as the vipers I just cleaned out of the Gawain basement - wait, who are you! Put the weapon down for me! ”
“…… Looks like everyone is busy. ”
Looking at the occasional sounds of battle and the noise between various urban districts, Duan Qing sighed and put away his gaze, he looked at a dirty rag in his hand, and wiped the sweat on his head: "This so-called 'one-dragon' battle plan, it is not so easy to complete it smoothly." ”
"It's also difficult for you, you have to clean the glass for other people's houses on such a hot day." Still maintaining the image of wearing a black cloak, Violet, who was standing on the side, chuckled and pointed to the shining glass window in front of Duan Qing: "Although this task is very much in line with your current strength and image, it is ...... It still seems to be detrimental to the dignity of the magician. ”
"That's why I've never considered myself a haughty magician, we're just ordinary adventurers now." The cleaning work was restarted, and Duan Qing, who turned around, asked the other party in a low voice: "What about you?" Do you still have the dignity of a great magician? The glorious lord of Violet? ”
"Probably...... Not really. Shaking her head slightly, Violet's tone of reply became obviously a little lost: "Since I have chosen this path, I have naturally given up everything in the past. ”
"Doesn't sound like much of what I used to be."
The movements in his hands did not stop, and Duan Qingtou, who was wiping the glass, said without looking back: "No way, the former top-level elites always have some resistance in their hearts when they encounter such a low-level job. ”
"Resistance is a bit of an overrun of the word." Running her hand at the long purple hair around her ear, Violet seemed to break free from the frustration: "I just want to express my concern about the progress of your current mission - is it really good that you look like you are now?" You still have eight tasks left on hand. ”
"What's the hurry, and there's no too difficult task." Duan Qing replied in a lazy voice: "Thanks to the low level, all those tasks related to the battle have nothing to do with me, and among the remaining tasks, there are not many tasks that are connected to the location and content......
"According to the logic of our adventurer's mission, none of these remaining tasks can be completed quickly." He looked at the sun above his head that was constantly scorching him, and waved his wiping arm hard: "Since there is no way to connect them together, there is no difference between doing it first and doing it later." ”
The cool autumn breeze then sounded in Duan Qing's ears, accompanied by a slight coolness and coldness that was different from this hot summer, Duan Qing, who noticed this abnormality, then turned around in a little surprise, and took Violet, who had just retracted the spell casting action, into his eyes: "...... this?" ”
"Cold Wind Barrier." A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and Violet's answer had a bit of playfulness in her voice: "Although it is an unpopular magic used to block long-range physical attacks and deflection spell attacks, it feels good to cool off at this time." ”
"Thank you for the gift, I will accept it as a free service." Secretly glancing at the follower menu in the system, Duan Qing sighed and nodded: "Of course, if you are willing to turn on the magic air conditioner for me every time I travel, I am also willing to take you out every time." ”
"Magic air conditioner? What is that? Tilting her head and looking at Duan Qing's face, Violet, who didn't get a response from Duan Qing, finally retracted her puzzled expression: "I just don't want you to leave me in that place, it's a very boring thing to stay alone in that small broken house where there is nothing." ”
"No way, who made us short of manpower now." Duan Qingtou replied without replying, "Originally, we wanted to leave someone to take care of the store, and by the way, we continued to accept the customers who came to visit today, but you didn't agree, so we had to let Thousand Finger Crane and her men come to help." ”
"That little girl's skills are not bad, and it should be enough to serve as our helper temporarily." Violet hid the top half of her face under the hood again: "As for me...... If you're not worried about the increasing number of visitors that my identity will eventually be revealed, I don't mind that I'm going to do it. ”
"You should have seen Dreynier's attitude, he will not continue to treat you as a traitor." Shaking his head, Duan Qing's action of wiping the glass did not change in the slightest: "Of course, the situation in the imperial capital may be more complicated recently, and it may take a little time to rehabilitate your reputation, but ...... Not. ”
He looked at the glass surface in front of him that gradually condensed a layer of frost and the guests in the restaurant who gradually showed a look of surprise behind the glass, and took two steps back a little helplessly: "Look, high-tech also has its own side effects, and your freezing magic still has a little side effect in the end." ”
Crash.
The sound of the liquid splashing on the surface of the glass then crossed Duan Qing's shoulder, and even with Violet's outstretched hand, it swiped along the surface of the glass, and the unknown liquid then cleaned the entire piece of glass into an incredibly transparent appearance in the gray-robed man's gradually widening eyes: "My magic may not work, but my alchemy is absolutely fine, as long as I use the cleaning potion I specially concocted, this stain is not a problem at all." ”
"You, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Duan Qing shook the rag and turned his head: "If I used it earlier, why did I spend so much time and energy?" ”
"You didn't ask me either."
The corners of her mouth pulled out a smile that made her teeth itch again, and Violet curled her long purple hair with her fingers: "And do you think this potion is what I carry with me, this is my temporary concoction, it needs not only water elements and wind elements, but also appropriate wind neck grass and spiral flowers as materials......"
"What, you want to learn this recipe?" She looked at Duan Qing's surprised eyes, retracted her arms and unconsciously returned to her side: "As an alchemy apprentice of Wiggins, is there really no problem with such a consultation?" ”
"Wiggins didn't teach me much about alchemy, he just sat there and watched me figure it out to myself."
Pouting and recalling some past images, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "But I really don't plan to learn any cleaning potions, it's not that my pride as an alchemist is at work, I just like the feeling that I have researched myself......"
"Nice heart, very much in line with the style when I met you." Waving her hand, Violet, who put away her smile, turned around and walked towards the door of the restaurant: "How is it, now that the cleaning has been completed, are you ready to start collecting fees from the client?" ”
"Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry." Duan Qing interrupted the other party's steps to move on: "Asking for a reward is also a very technical thing, not everyone can ask for everything if they want it, since we have used magic to complete his task, of course we have to negotiate well." ”
"You want to sit on the ground and raise the price?" Violet's rhetorical question seemed to have an eyebrow raised: "It's just a gesture, you don't need to do this, right?" ”
"As an adventurer, you're just a novice."
Raising his hand to interrupt what the other party wanted to say, Duan Qing looked up and down at the surface of the shining glass in front of him: "Everyone is now a member of the adventure group, and adventurers must have the way adventurers behave, greedy adventurers have always been more competitive in terms of rewards, not to mention the identity of a great magician like you." ”
"This identity can be sold for a good price." He nodded in satisfaction, and then walked towards the door of the restaurant on the side: "Maybe you are a senior powerhouse, but since you want to become an adventurer...... There's a lot more adventurer code you need to learn. ”
“…… Scold. Brushing her sideburns slightly, Violet, who had been surrounded by a hazy magical glow, waved her hand to blur her figure a little: "Well, I want to see how much money you can squeeze out of Elise." ”
"What, you know the owner of this restaurant?" Glancing back at the almost transparent face of Violet, Duan Qing, who was walking in front, turned his gaze to the page of entrustment in his hand: "It sounds like a woman, but what is written on this commission is a man, and it ......"
"All I know is the former owner of this restaurant, a family that once belonged to a member of the nobility of the Empire." An imperceptible look of remembrance flashed in her eyes, and Violet replied in a low voice, "It's been so long, I'm afraid the shopkeeper has already been replaced." ”
"Do you remember the man's name?" Duan Qing, who walked to the door of the store, sighed slightly: "Should it be...... It's a guy with the Roel surname, right? ”
“……”
"Fate sometimes likes to joke."
As if the answer was drawn from the other party's silence, Duan Qing withdrew the hand that wanted to push open the door of the store: "Just do a random task, and you can actually do it on the head of the name Roel...... Is that the Fra you remember? Or is it a figure from the same family as her? ”
“…… Don't always probe into a woman's privacy. Violet's voice came from not far behind him: "Although you have already seen it, it is always rude after all. ”
"I'm sorry, I just can't suppress my curiosity." Duan Qing bowed his head politely: "Even though the matter has passed, I am still very interested in things like the past of the Roel family and the secrets of the royal family, as well as you and Dreynier in the palace that night-"
"Will these things help us in our mission today?"
"It's hard to say, after all, it's the nature of adventurers to sniff for clues, and for us adventurers, there's nothing more attractive than a hidden mission......"
Bang!
The piercing cracking sound accompanied by a chest-suffocating explosion sounded in Duan Qing's ears, accompanied by the scene of the glass that had just been polished by him shattering into fragments, his pupils dilated in the crystal light reflected in the sky, and what caught his eyes was a purple magic light that surrounded him: "Be careful!" ”
"Stop him!"
The angry shout then sounded, and in the chaos that rose, the scene of a black shadow breaking through the broken glass running into the distance came into Duan Qing's eyes, and he held his arms to protect his head and face, and then he stretched out his hand to sense the protective effect of the invisible purple light shield, and turned to look forward with the loud shout that sounded behind him: "...... Let's go. ”
"Want to chase?"
Violet's inquiring voice echoed in the invisible air, and she rolled up to the sky outside the restaurant with shards of glass that had not yet fully landed, and he understood that the purple-haired woman was staring at him, and then he shook his head and took steps in the direction of the figure leaving: "Of course." ”
"After all, this could be one of the clues to the hidden mission."
