“…… Why hasn't it come out yet? ”

After a while, in the lower area of Sky City, the figure belonging to Mengzhu slowly turned out of the end of a certain street corner, and the streets that had been almost repaired and tidyed up were also mixed with traces of old and new life as the city appeared, with bits and pieces of magical brilliance to reflect her black back very obviously. Impatiently tapping her toes to the stone floor in front of her, the little girl who had tied her blonde hair in a bunch stood in this sparsely populated corner and waited, until the familiar figure came from the other end of the street corner, she lowered her arms that she had been holding: "It's too slow! ”

"If it's the same efficiency when the team acts in the future, I'm going to sweep you away!"

She looked at the figure of the thief who led the way back, and her face showed an expression of impatience, and the Walnut Rakshasa, who hurriedly ran forward, then lowered her arms breathlessly, and only after a while did she surrender with a well-balanced breath: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but that boss is still as dark as ever, three pieces of excellent equipment plus fifteen pieces of excellent equipment, and in the end, he only gave us five thousand gold coins......

"What?" So Mengzhu's expression became a little more terrifying: "How dare he be so dark?" Don't you look down on our Fool Adventure Party? ”

"The last time I was only given 8,000 gold coins, I felt that something was wrong."

A deep voice then came from behind the Rakshasa of Walnut, the words of a certain shield warrior in the team that was gradually approaching: "Presumably, this group of people who have just come to this city to do business are also a group of guys who like to kill familiarity." ”

"Even if they look down on our identity, then at least we have to look at the thin side of the Mage Council, right?"

The impatience on his face became a little stronger, and Mengzhu gritted his teeth and whispered, "Our guild's reputation in the Mage Council has reached such a high level, do they dare not take it seriously?" ”

"The city in the sky is still nominally a city run by the Mage Council, but the Mage Council is not very good at expanding its influence."

Hitting the axe and gun on the ground, the man named Black Corn beckoned the rest of the team members who came with him to go to the side of the street to rest first: "At best, those magicians are just a group of people who have been immersed in magical research all day long, and they don't know how to use their power to control the operation and development of the city, although with their energy, most of them don't care how to use these influences to deal with the so-called 'mundane affairs'......"

"Anyway, there should be forces that have begun to enter the city by now, and what we feared is happening." Pointing around the street where they were, Black Corn said in a deep voice: "As the only city floating in the sky thousands of miles high, you and I should both understand the attraction of this place, even if it is only considering the commercial value, there will definitely be no shortage of people who come to encroach on the profits." ”

"You mean to say...... The store we frequent, with other backers? The impatient face gradually turned into surprise, and the enlightened Mengzhu stared at his eyes and whispered, "Damn, have they forgotten the kindness of us who have been taking care of their business all this time?" ”

"In the face of absolute interests, things like emotional cards won't work." Black Corn shook his head indifferently: "It's like the one we've been discussing...... Once we get to a certain point, we can't continue to rely on the prestige of the Mage Council. ”

"We're grateful to have taken care of us all the way to where we are now." Looking up at the surroundings of this street, Mengzhu, who was sighing, finally fell on the clear blue sky that was close at hand: "But I also know this truth, we can enjoy a lot of benefits after staying in a place like Sky City for so long." ”

"It seems that this trip is also a plan you have already thought of, right?" Nodding his head with a look of relief, Black Corn replied with a smile, "Very good, you haven't been swallowed up by the huge wealth of Sky City, and you want to become a first-class guild-"

"It's impossible to live in a corner."

The wordless silence returned to the end of the block with the silence of the two people, and for a while only the sparse voices of passers-by slowly echoed around them, and the two people who had been looking at each other for a while then invariably put away the smiles on their faces, and instead beckoned the rest of the team members to walk towards the other end of the street: "Okay, brothers, it's time to go." ”

"Go? Where to? ”

"Certainly not the ABCDEF zone."

Raising his arm, the black corn with a shield gathered the team members in twos and threes instead of the little girl: "We have been in this city for a long time, and we have hoarded a lot of materials such as weapons and equipment, since the difficulty of exploring this city has reached a certain bottleneck...... Then let's go out of town and take a look elsewhere. ”

The echoes of the echoes then came from the crowd composed of the team members, accompanied by only the lack of interest on their faces, and the black corn who noticed this shook his head disapprovingly, and instead fell on Mengzhu's head: "Do you have anything to say?" ”

“…… Ahem! ”

Circled fingers in front of her, the little girl cleared her throat, and then her eyes looked around the faces of those members she had recruited little by little in recent months, and finally raised her eyebrows: "I know that some of you are here for the name of our Fool Adventure Group, and some of you are here for good equipment and wealth, and I have sent away a lot of disappointed guys during this time, and we don't need these people who can't even trust themselves. ”

"You are the rest of the guys, and you are also the crystallization of the members of the group whose character I admire." She looked around at everyone's expressions, and at the same time whispered word by word: "Even if you stay in this once famous team, you don't seem to show a domineering or eager attitude for quick success, you have chosen a more difficult path, that is, to accompany this not very capable head of the group, me, and continue to make some fame with your own hands." ”

"Playing the honor that belongs to the current Fool Adventure Group."

She pointed to her chest, the surface of an adventure group badge inlaid with verdant bamboo forests and portraits, and then looked at the firmness that everyone gradually revealed, and nodded her head with satisfaction: "During this period of Sky City operation, we can be regarded as accumulating a lot of resources, and the situation outside must have been heard a lot recently, and I also discussed it with the black corn who went out a few times before......"

"It's time to go out and have a good adventure." She raised her arm wrapped in black leather armor and ribbons, and the hand holding the dagger waved vigorously in the air: "Let's go out into the wider world, and let the rest of the big banks meet our current team!" ”

Qi Qi's exclamation then sounded in front of the little girl, and with the wind that never stopped blowing over the city, it drifted into the unknown distance, and Mengzhu, who turned around and led the team to start marching, then also showed a confident smile, and at the same time gestured to the black corn that came forward: "How is it?" ”

"Yes." What answered her was Black Corn's surprised expression: "I thought you would just fool around a few words as before, but I didn't expect to be able to say such a level of words." ”

"This kind of speech is pediatric, just say a few words about your feelings." With his hands behind his back, Mengzhu, who was leading in front of him, jumped in the direction of the ground teleportation array in the center of the city: "And this group of people who stayed behind is indeed a group of good friends, and they also understand the truth I said." ”

"In time, they should be able to become a strong army that can stand tall in the professional world."

Nodding in agreement, Black Corn then turned his gaze to the crowd that suddenly began to increase not far away: "If we have the ability to exercise them well...... Well, then again, where are you going to take them to practice? ”

"Well...... I haven't figured it out yet. ”

"Shenma? You haven't figured it out yet? ”

Having already walked to the entrance of the square where the teleportation array was located, the black corn who had stopped patted his cheek helplessly: "You don't want to say anything and then discuss it, right?" ”

"What's the hurry, anyway, there are incidents happening in the free continent now." Pouting his mouth senselessly, Mengzhu then pointed in the direction of the crowd around the square: "Don't worry that we have nowhere to go, I'm afraid that we will be dazzled, and if we really don't have a goal, we will pick the foothills of Anderson Independent State where the restorers are stationed in Tunji...... Hey? ”

The little girl who was talking stopped her voice with her eyes glaring, and a familiar blue and white figure then slowly floated from the other end of the square with short hair with a headband, and finally disappeared into the teleportation circle in the center of the square with the figure of a certain group of players. The expression of disbelief then turned into an anxious exclamation, and Mengzhu, who quickly disappeared in place, then hurriedly ran in the direction of the teleportation array, ignoring the shouts of the black corn behind her, she immediately plunged into the radiant brilliance of the teleportation array, and her figure also quickly disappeared under the power of magic: "Sister Ning Lan!" Sister Ning Lan in the code whisper-"

The dazzling teleportation light and shadow then quickly flashed in the little girl's eyes, and finally appeared next to another teleportation array directly below the sky city with her figure, and when she opened her eyes, she anxiously looked for the figure she had found at a glimpse before, but after a while, she lowered her shoulders in the fruitless result: "How, how could it be ......?"

"What did you find?"

The voice belonging to the black corn came from behind her, interrupting the little girl's chaotic thoughts at this time, and Mengzhu, who turned around, also put away the look of loss on his face a little, and there was a little more trembling in the voice again: "No, it's nothing, it's just like seeing an acquaintance ......"

"The teleportation circle of Sky City is a magic circle specially modified by the Mage Council, aiming to ensure multi-point teleportation technology between various forces with high-end magic skills." Firmly retracting his action of patting the other party's shoulder, Black Corn smiled helplessly: "From the player's point of view, it means that you can choose the target location when teleporting, and if you want to find the person you just saw, you must first know their destination." ”

“…… Never mind. ”

After cleaning up his mood, Mengzhu, who tied his hair up again, then shook his head: "Greet the other team members, let's continue to set off." ”

"Just now...... Maybe I'm just wrong. ”

*******************************

"Did I just read it wrong?"

At the same moment, in the library inside Redkar City of the Frey Empire, Duan Qing, who had followed the Thousand Fingered Crane in, scanned the shelves full of all kinds of old books, and suddenly turned around and asked after a while, "Why are there still people in this place?" ”

"Why can't people come to this place?"

The red-haired figure that had disappeared in front of him took two steps back, and then stretched out his head again, "The mages we captured are just the mages who destroyed everywhere that night, and the guys who plotted to absorb the leylines and try to lose the last bit of madness, how could we refuse ordinary people to come to this library?" ”

"That'...... How are those people doing now? Duan Qing asked tentatively, "How many people have you arrested?" ”

"Including the stubborn people, there are about thirty or forty in total." The Thousand Fingered Crane put his head back again: "Maybe it's because of the long-term absorption of the leyline, the strength of these magicians is very strong, if it weren't for the problem of the leyline in the end, whether the people I brought would be able to successfully catch them or not." ”

"We've put them all in prison in the imperial capital."

After a few more corners, the Thousand-Fingered Crane with his hands behind his back heard his voice again from between the tall bookshelves: "Although this place is also a good choice, we don't dare to lock them back here, in case they know about some hidden secret passages that we don't know, or have the ability to reactivate the magic array in it......"

"Don't you have any magic locks? Isn't it over by handing them over? Duan Qing replied disappreciatively: "And since they are not here, what else are we coming to see?" ”

"Of course, it's time to clean up the mess."

Walking forward with his head again, the voice of the Thousand Fingered Crane came from the distance: "Being able to develop a magic array that absorbs the leylines in such a long period of time, and then scourge so many magicians...... Even if we don't catch the last one, we can't easily let go of this scene. ”

"I know, I know, you chose the vacant land next to it as the original location of the station, also to monitor them...... Not. ”

The words that came out of his mouth stopped somewhere, and Duan Qing's footsteps then stopped at a corner full of bookshelves: "That's right." ”

"Have you checked the so-called ashrams?"
