"Well, there probably isn't a more useful reason in the world than this hatred."

"That's why you're half responsible for hurting me to this point."

"Do you want to help you teach him a lesson in the game by the way, and relieve your suffering?"

"You teach him? Can you beat him now? Look at your level...... After doing so many tasks, even I, a person who came out of the novice village later than you, is already almost level 30, why are you still in the teens? ”

Walking on the corner of this Imperial Capital Street, the voices of Duan Qing and Xue Linghuanbing gradually echoed in the increasingly noisy crowd, but the expression and movements of the white-haired woman among them also became more and more strange at this time: "This is not normal, right?" How did you do the reverse upgrade? ”

"Maybe I've been refining a lot of medicine lately." Duan Qing scratched his nose in embarrassment: "But it doesn't matter, as long as you can maintain your combat effectiveness in this way." ”

"A low level is not a good thing after all, not to mention the attribute restrictions on weapons and equipment, and the popularity and prestige alone will also be affected." Xue Lingphantasm reminded the other party a little anxiously: "Even if it is the Adventurer's Association, people will choose the difficulty of distributing tasks by evaluating your strength, and low-level players can only be discriminated against by the association, and the final tasks issued are only biased towards simple basics and suitable for novices......"

"It's okay, it's okay, isn't that good?"

With a smile and put his hands behind his head, Duan Qing's gaze turned to the starry sky above: "It's not bad if you can really live an ordinary life, isn't the problem now that you can't hide from the trouble of finding the door?" ”

“……”

His footsteps slowed down slightly, and the white shoulders that had been accompanying Duan Qing also slowed back slightly for two minutes, and Duan Qing, who noticed the slightest abnormality, also stopped his movements, and turned his head to look at the slightly lonely face: "...... I'm sorry. ”

"Why did you suddenly start blaming yourself again?" So Duan Qing pursed his lips helplessly: "Didn't you say that I should be half responsible?" Don't worry, if you teach him a lesson, I will definitely teach him a lesson. ”

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be where you are now, would you?" Ignoring the relaxed color that the other party deliberately showed to him, Xue Ling's voice was still full of guilt: "Looking back now, not only my identity has dragged the situation down to what it is now, but also the biggest burden I have become to this team......

“…… Hey, here we go again. ”

Duan Qing, who had taken two steps back, sighed and patted the other party's head: "I'm a qualified player, and a qualified player will think of a suitable solution when facing all the tasks in this world." ”

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth - in the final analysis, it is nothing more than these eight words." He showed a confident smile at the Xue Lingphantom Ice who raised his head: "Low-difficulty problems can naturally be solved in an easy way, while high-difficulty problems ...... It's not like there's no suitable solution. ”

"Before you can complete the reversal of our squad's prestige on the territory of the Empire, all you need to do is continue to cultivate your strength." As if there were only two people left in the world, he gave his own thumbs up: "Of course, I will spare no effort to help you at this point." ”

“…… That's it. ”

Blinking his eyes, Xue Lingphantom Bing's slightly confused eyes also became a little brighter: "Skill explanation, tactical guidance, and one-on-one training...... In that case, then you have to take full responsibility. ”

"Oh, woman."

Unable to understand the twists and turns of the other party's emotional changes, Duan Qing rubbed his forehead with a look of embarrassment, and the body that just wanted to continue to move forward was pulled back by the white hand, accompanied by the white-haired woman who flashed her eyes in front of him again: "Don't go, help me pick two necklaces first." ”

"Item, necklace? Just the one just now? Do you think that the loss of 1,000 gold coins we ate before was not big enough, or is the attribute of the brooch just now not bad enough? ”

"Didn't you say that the good ones are fully responsible? I don't care, since you bought it for her, you have to buy me one too! ”

"I said why are you so irritable tonight, you are waiting for me here! It's okay to always stare at Yu Yan with wide eyes, what's the matter with being jealous of an NPC......"

"You-buy-no-buy-"

The small commotion then appeared on the corner of the street where countless vendors were spreading, accompanied by the gray-robed magician who suddenly ran forward from the crowd, and the two figures who chased and fled also reflected each other in this corner of the imperial capital as the noisy street became more and more lively, and soon disappeared at the end of the long street where countless magic lights flickered. The physical strength was obviously no match for the other party as a swordsman, and the panting Duan Qing was finally thrown to the ground by the white-clothed and white-haired Snow Spirit Phantom Ice at the entrance of a certain alley, and the two figures who rolled down together separated on the ground after a long time, and looked at the dark night that was almost illuminated by the red and green lights with their hands: "...... Thank you. ”

"If I hadn't accepted all this, I would have rejected it back in the Novice Village."

"What if...... I'm talking about if I become the same person again, will you continue to accept me? “

"I'm a very stubborn person, as long as I accept something, I won't let go, otherwise...... Wouldn't all the efforts and sacrifices that had been made before be wasted? ”

“……”

Without any more words, the white-haired woman lying on the ground turned her body like this, and the hand tightly wrapped around Duan Qing's arm also became more and more forceful with the gaze of the two people, as if she wanted to embed the other party in her chest: "I...... I'm scared. ”

"I woke up from a dream alone, and there was no one around." She muttered in a low voice, as if she were telling a story that had nothing to do with her: "I ran out of that little warehouse, and all I saw was an empty clearing. ”

"I remembered everything that had happened before, and that frightening feeling of familiarity." The hand holding Duan Qing began to tremble slightly, and even the woman's voice became trembling: "The matter of Tanzanian City has been proven, I don't have the strength to resist him at all, if ...... If he controls me like that again, I, I ......"

"Is this still our Chu Lingbing, who is so cold that he is not afraid of anything?"

The teasing voice then sounded in Xue Ling's ears, pressing down all her intermittent words as if she had lost her mind, and one of Duan Qing's palms was then placed on her forehead, accompanied by the gray-robed magician's gradually warm voice: "Don't worry anymore, I will always be by your side." ”

"Your nightmare will end with the death of Mo Shang Qingshan, and now this you ...... It can be done. ”

"Hmm."

A slight sobbing sound then sounded in his ears, and the two lines of crystal tears left behind by the snow spirit ice disappeared in the space tightly embraced each other, and even the magic lamps shining side by side above the heads of the two people slowly dimmed as if they were ashamed to see this scene: "...... I say. ”

"Isn't this a place out of place?"

Looking at Violet, who was standing quietly in front of the two people, looking down at them expressionlessly, Duan Qing, whose eyes had become clear, patted the back of the woman in his arms: "If you don't want to go back to the Lanshan station, we can also find a tavern to live in." ”

“…… It's good. Turning around and wiping his face, Xue Ling's voice became much more embarrassing: "What did you do later, and why did you run so far away...... I can also take this opportunity to give you a good explanation. ”

"I didn't run around, I just completed a commission by the way, but the things I encountered before I came here seem to be more worth exploring."

"Is it the magic bomb you just said, don't worry, a magic bomb of the same amount as the Fars Fortress was banned by the empire after that battle, and the so-called bombs that are popular on the market now are just the defective products imitated by those disciples of Dr. J themselves......"

Bang!

A dull sound then appeared in the left front of the street where the two of them walked hand in hand, and not far from them was another piece of the imperial capital that was lit up at night, and Duan Qing, who felt the strong shaking of the ground, then hurriedly supported the body of Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was also a little surprised, and looked towards the left front where the flames and smoke were rising: "What, what's the matter?" ”

"Exploded, exploded?"

"It's the Golden Rose Tavern! Something happened to the Golden Rose Tavern! ”

"Quick, run—no, call someone to put out the fire!"

The crowd of people who fled gradually rushed out from the direction of the thick smoke, with their panicked shouts to the surrounding streets to declare everything they saw, and the originally noisy night market also showed some signs of panic with the appearance of this explosion, with the news of the same explosion along the center of the accident point to the surrounding slowly diffuse the atmosphere of panic. Staring at the thick smoke for a long time, Duan Qing, who was standing in place, didn't close his mouth for a long time, until the surrounding vendors had almost run away with the goods and people, and then he and the equally unbelievable Xue Lingphantom Ice glanced at each other: "It can't be so coincidental, right?" ”

"The Golden Rose Tavern is a famous red light house in the imperial capital of Redcar, and it is also one of the most popular taverns among the nobles of the Empire." Xue Ling, who had recovered her mood, replied in a deep voice, "And the most important thing is ...... Before this gray industry of the empire was not curbed, it was also a competitor to the Anfu Rose Tavern. ”

"In other words, this is the revenge of the Anfleet family?" Duan Qing let out a long sigh: "They started acting so soon? And such an extreme means of retaliation? ”

"I can't be sure." Xue Lingphantasm shook his head: "Although judging from the scale and suddenness of this explosion......"

"The possibility of being detonated by a magic bomb seems to be very high."

Together, the two men and women walked against the crowd on the street towards the center of the explosion, feeling the chaos of the smoke and heat that became more and more obvious, and at the same time taking into their eyes the burning tavern near the center of the imperial capital. Countless scattered cries for help still kept sounding inside and outside the tavern surrounded by flames, and from time to time there were screams from some of the people trapped inside the tavern, looking at Duan Qing, who was not inferior to the previous fire in the Anfu Rose Tavern, and then nodded to each other with Xue Lingphantom Bing, and at the same time took out their respective weapons and staffs: "No matter what, let's rescue people first." ”

"No need."

A calm voice then appeared behind the two people, accompanied by an imperial male wearing a golden royal robe and his hair combed as meticulously as a nobleman, and the magician who appeared behind the two people at some point then Shi Ran crossed over to Duan Qing, who had just wanted to cast a spell to put out the fire, and slowly raised his right hand: "With such a major fire, the shot of an adventurer of your level is simply a drop in the bucket." ”

"Don't put yourself in it, weakling." The cold ice gas appeared around the golden magician with a snap of fingers from the nobleman's right hand, and instantly turned into a huge ice-colored vortex that surrounded the entire tavern: "Just leave it to Festa Pamuel." ”

"Who is this guy?"

Looking at the back of the magician who had begun to cool down the rolling flames in front of him in an instant, Duan Qing, who had taken two steps back, leaned sideways and quietly sniffed the snow spirit phantom ice beside him: "Is it the owner of this tavern?" A guy with such a suspicious style......"

"You should be the one to be suspected."

Before Xue Lingphantom Ice could say his answer, a loud and angry man's voice suddenly appeared behind him, and the chubby figure belonging to the Imperial Minister of Finance then appeared in front of the street where the fire and ice shone together, along with several subordinates who had arrived in a hurry. Still sorting out his shirt with buttons and zippers that had not yet been tied, the fat man tried his best to calm down his shortness of breath, and the small eyes that were squeezed together because of too much fat were staring at the direction where Duan Qing and the two of them were for a moment: "You-you are those two wanted criminals, right?" ”

"Arrest them."

The fat face, which was lit up by the flickering fire, showed a serious and angry expression again, and he raised his voice and suddenly shouted orders at his men behind him.
