"How's it going?"

“…… It looks dangerous, but it shouldn't happen. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Have you found out who is behind it?"

"I'm sorry, Councillor Carbins, but ......"

In a certain auditorium to the southeast of the council hall, black figures shimmered and shimmered, constantly moving in and out of the area, some staying here for a while before leaving, while others had been in for a long time and had not come out. If you mix well and have a sharp enough eyesight, many players can identify many well-known people belonging to the high-level of the Principality in the figure of these people, and such a gathering phenomenon is difficult to see even during busy daylight days, or even when important meetings are held. However, if any player can find this in the dead of night and want to find out, most of them will find nothing, because except for some of them who are officials from the city and even the principality, as well as members of the Supreme Council, most of the rest of the people in black are the subordinates and bodyguards they brought with them when they came here.

At this time, they have protected this place to the fullest.

"Needless to say, I know."

At the door of the auditorium, the bearded Connelly, who had just arrived here, waved his fat hand, and then took off his trench coat with the help of a bodyguard behind him: "Letting you investigate this matter is itself a kind of compulsion...... What does Dead Fat Yang say? ”

"He's just received the Speaker, too." The person who answered him continued to whisper: "I heard...... It was an adventurer who sent him back, and when he came back, it was already like this. ”

"Adventurers?"

His eyes gradually lit up, and the slightly chubby middle-aged man muttered, "What's his name?" Did you leave any news? ”

"No, sir." The other party replied in a low voice: "He left the speaker and left, and we are sending someone to investigate his news......"

“…… Do you send people? Connelly shook his head: "Forget it, I'll do it."

Leaving the others behind, the chubby middle-aged man walked through the door of the auditorium, and in the lounge next to the stage, he met the Speaker of the Duchy, who was still unconscious. Looking at it from a distance, the traces of dust and blood were still sticking to the body of the speaker in ordinary clothes, and some newly added white bandages wrapped in the middle proved that he was seriously injured at this time. The middle-aged man stepped forward under the gaze of everyone in the room, checked the speaker's injuries slightly, and then turned his head and looked at the old man in the corner who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed: "Who did it?"

“……”

"Say something, Lord Fortes?"

"You're suspicious of me, Mr. Connelly."

The old man with a cane in both hands slowly spoke: "As the oldest nobleman in the principality, I can't sit idly by and watch your nonsense spread around this place at will."

"Akito doesn't speak darkly, Lord Fortes." Ignoring the other party's sharp eyes, the middle-aged man simply walked in front of the old man: "You noble people...... I've been doing something very unusually lately, and if I want to say that this has nothing to do with you, even if it's a child...... I probably won't believe it. ”

"Do you need me to explain it to you again?"

“…… Are you accusing me? The old man asked lightly, "With all due respect, even in front of Francis, these accusations of yours ...... Tangible evidence is also needed. ”

"Me, and the people of our family...... Nothing is known. Facing the other man's gaze, Fortes repeated again: "No matter how many times you ask, my answer is always like this."

"You're ......!"

Several black-clothed men silently stepped forward and blocked the middle-aged man who wanted to get angry, and then stood on the left and right of the old man, and surrounded him quietly, while Connelly, who was looking at these, gritted his teeth for a long time, and was finally pulled back by the others on the side: "Okay, Councillor Carbins, don't do this anymore, it won't help the situation in any way."

"Let's talk about the next thing."

The middle-aged man let out a sigh of hatred, and then looked back at a few people on the other side of the room: "Speaker's injury...... When will he wake up? ”

"The current injuries are unknown, my lord." A waiter-looking man in front of him stood up from the Speaker's side, then answered his question with his head bowed: "Judging by the information found out so far...... He's been in a coma for at least two days, and although he's been treated briefly in the past, he's still not getting better, and we need more ......."

"Okay, okay, that's all nonsense." Connelly raised his hand to interrupt the other party's introduction: "You just need to tell me...... It's okay for you guys to wake him up. ”

“…… At least three days, sir. ”

"Three days ......" Connelly said twice in a low voice, then raised his head again: "Councillor Lonia, news...... How many are out? ”

"The scope has been controlled here." A young man dressed as a councillor on the left replied, "The people who didn't come are all people we didn't notify, but it's such a big move...... We can't guarantee that they won't hear the wind. ”

“…… Let's do it first, if you really can't control it...... Let's just say that the speaker is seriously ill. The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I fell down because of overwork."

“…… Be. ”

"Mr. Carlos, I'll leave the handling to you on the adventurer's side, if there's a way...... It's better not to say too much. Oh yes, those adventurers...... Some of them should already know about these things, so you'd better inquire about them. ”

"I'll get in touch."

"It's better to be the representative of them, I remember it's an adventure group called Jianghu, right?"

"And the sword of justice, sir."

"Yes, yes, it's them, preferably in the name of the principality, so ......"

“……”

"I'm going to use my power as well...... As long as you carry through this period of time...... The Imperial ......"

The voice faded away in the old man's ears, and finally became indistinguishable - in the late night autumn wind, the old man on crutches walked out of the door of the auditorium with high steps, and then, accompanied by the guards, walked to his carriage: "It's ...... There's nothing more to see. ”

"Are you going back?" A man dressed as the same parliamentarian walked up to him: "No need to listen to them anymore ......"

"No need." The old man's footsteps stopped: "What should be heard, they won't care, what shouldn't be heard...... With Connelly's head, he probably wouldn't have said it to my face. ”

“…… Be. ”

"What, you're still a little worried?" The old man looked back at the man: "Someone will stay here and pay attention to the movements of those civilians, if you are not at ease...... You can follow them along. ”

"No need, sir." The man bowed his head: "Everything...... All at your command. ”

"The future of the principality will be in our control after all, and momentary twists and turns are nothing." The old man smiled, and then turned back in his own words: "When you are my age, you will understand...... How important is patience...... That's right. ”

"Remember to talk to them at Stanford." The old man who had boarded the carriage suddenly turned around and said, "Let them ...... Hide for a while. ”

"Yes."

The old man's smiling face faded from the man's eyes as the shouts rang out, and then sank into the night far away from the street as the carriage moved. The person who was waiting there with his head bowed slowly raised his head, but an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. He turned to look behind him, then closed his coat and left the place in the constant flow of people coming and going. After walking a few streets, he came to the side of a tavern on the southeast side of Tania City, then turned around and disappeared into the shadows around a corner.

Subsequently, his figure appeared at the entrance of a passage in the underground black market.

After reconfirming that there were no noteworthy people around him, he walked briskly into one of the passages, and stopped at the end of the shadow: "Infelette."

“…… Diszoa. ”

"I'm back." The man finally laughed: "The situation ...... Not bad. ”

"Oh, really?"

A glimmer of light flashed in the shadows, and a figure belonging to the player gradually appeared here, and then showed an equally gloomy smile at the other party.

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

"This is ......"

"Taverns, shops, and blacksmiths...... Wow, that's a church, right? ”

At the same time, Duan Qing and the others had already entered the arena of another game world, and then in the hazy and gray vision of consciousness, they came to a place similar to the street. On both sides of the wide street, all kinds of shops and services that are almost identical to those of the normal free world line the left and right of this street, and as their vision stretches forward, you can find the end of the sky. The magical lights were used as neon signs, constantly flickering in the signs, advertisements and corners of these shops, and the psychedelic effect was clearly visible even in the daytime, like seven-colored clouds that tried their best to attract the eyes of all passers-by. However, after a period of investigation, a group of people, including Su Yuliu, were disappointed to find that few of these commercial street dragons, which are very charming in the eyes of women, are actually not really in business at all.

Aside from a few food and beverage outlets, the bustling scene here is as beautiful and illusory as its magic lights.

"What, it's all a lie, okay?" The dissatisfied little girl finally voiced her protest on behalf of all women: "I thought I could still have a good time shopping in this place......

"We're here to watch the game, so shopping isn't the point, okay?" Looking at the equally disappointed eyes of the red-haired girl behind him, Duan Qing covered his forehead helplessly: "And...... I doubt you're willing to spend money on these places......"

"It doesn't cost you anything to do shopping, but it's a must-have skill for every girl!" The little girl with her blonde hair refuted loudly: "I don't even understand this, it's really an uncle......

"You, what did you say?" Duan Qing's face darkened: "It's normal that there is nothing to sell to you, okay?" Otherwise, wouldn't the rich man be invincible when he swept all the weapons and equipment here and returned to the game? ”

"Well, that seems to be the case......

In the secret whisper Ning Lan's mouth snickering, Mengzhu, who had been hesitant for a long time, finally lowered his head: "Then that, that, then why did they come up with such a scene?" You can only watch it, but you can't use it, is it because you want to play tricks on us? ”

"Of course...... It didn't happen in a vacuum. ”

Walking on the outermost side, she brushed her long blue hair, then crossed her arms and said, "You don't think this place is ...... Something familiar? ”

"Familiar? No. ”

“…… Well, forget that you're all novice players. The woman, who was slightly tall because she was lightly dressed, shook her head, then smiled and held out a slender finger: "A bunch of hillbillies."

"What, what?" Except for the secret whisper Ning Lan, everyone else turned into a cat with their tails stepped on: "What do you say!"

"What's wrong with novice players?"

"Haven't you just seen it?"

"It's not our fault!"

"No, isn't it just that we go to more places than we do? What is there to be proud of......"

Facing the excited scene led by Duan Qing, the woman shook her head as if nothing happened, and then after the earth-shattering protests calmed down a little, she covered her mouth and let out a queen-like smile: "Oh, hehehe! Poor commoners...... Ning Lan, give them a lesson. ”

"This is Redcarr."

It was not the smiling maid who responded to her, but a player who was at the front of the team and suddenly turned around, wearing a wide trench coat, strode in front of everyone, first glanced back and forth a few times, and then clapped his hands with a smile: "It's really fate...... As soon as I met you, I watched a good show! ”

“…… Go away, go away. In Mengzhu's puzzled gaze, Duan Qing blocked the front with a dark face: "There's nothing to do with you here......

"No, it's hard to run into you once, so let me take you for a walk...... How is it? The man with the word Dream on his head patted Duan Qing's shoulder with a big grin: "This is our base camp, find me to be your guide...... It's always right, right? ”

“…… Is this really Redcarr? The capital of the empire? Duan Qing looked at the other party with a suspicious look: "You didn't admit your mistake?"

"Damn, do you think I'm a road idiot like Jian Beidong?" Phantom Dream screamed and jumped up: "No matter how stupid I am, I won't mistake my hometown, right?" Look, this is Victory Avenue in Redcar, the largest street in the east of Redcar, and the most prosperous...... See that place? There's a statue of Frey the Great, turn west in that direction, and walk all the way down to the Imperial Palace......"

As if he was eager to break the other party's contempt, the man in the overcoat pulled Duan Qing and a few people towards the front, and at the same time introduced the left and right sides of the city, as if this was indeed his hometown. And it wasn't until he was pulled by the other party to the intersection where the statue was placed and confirmed that what the dream said was true, that Duan Qing, who had a painful face, sighed and interrupted the other party's gushing introduction: "Okay, okay, it's okay for us to believe in you, your clothes are going to be damaged by you......"

"That's right, when did I lie to you, brother......"

"In that case!" Duan Qing raised one hand in front of him: "Then don't talk too much...... Where is the venue, take us there. ”

“……”

In the midst of the noise around them, a gust of cold wind blew around them without warning, blowing the man's windbreaker and quickly cooling down the originally lively atmosphere. Looking at the other party who suddenly stopped talking, the expression on Duan Qing's face gradually became strange: "What's the matter, big guide, you don't know the road again?"

"Uh...... How is that possible, hahahaha......"

Waving his hand and laughing dryly for a while, Dream's face paused again: "That...... I haven't been there yet, but it's ......."

"If I'm not mistaken, where to watch the game...... It should be that place. ”

He whispered.
