The countless condensed magic power then gradually dissipated, followed by a succession of apologies, and the movements that belonged to the Thousand Fingered Crane nodding again and again were also accompanied by Violet's silent disappearance, constantly flashing in front of Duan Qing. Panting and dissipating the energy that had been condensed in his body, the gray-robed magician who smiled bitterly then carefully lifted the body of the thousand-fingered crane, and then comforted the emotions of the woman in front of him in the other party's successive inquiries: "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, it's just a big magician, it's not a big deal......"

"Woo...... How could you suddenly provoke that woman! If it weren't for the fact that I suddenly rushed in—"

"She didn't have any ill intentions, and she didn't mean to do anything to me just now...... Anyway, don't be so impulsive, rush in before you figure out what the situation is, and I can't say anything. ”

"I, how do I know what you're doing, I noticed a powerful magic fluctuation, and I thought you were attacked by something, so I ......"

Halfway through the experiment, the same as the half-finished product, died—this was something Duan Qing expected, but it was an acceptable result, even if he had already thought about the anger that might come down after Violet's woman and the other troubles that might come in the future, he couldn't guarantee whether his body could hold the aftermath of that magical energy, and he couldn't guarantee what would happen to the woman who had paid such a huge price. The predetermined plan was disrupted for a moment with the appearance of this accident, and the figures belonging to the two players were finally able to turn out from the edge of this clearing, they looked at the shattered bluestone pavement that was filled with magical energy before, but the whisper Ning Lan whispered behind their ears asked: "Sir, Miss Thousand Fingered Crane." ”

"The president is calling you."

She said with a smile as she quickly glanced around, "Did something happen?" ”

"I think it's just that you want to come over and take a look at the situation, it has nothing to do with Snow Spirit Phantom Ice at all." Saying this sentence angrily, Duan Qing then lowered his head with a sigh: "But it's okay, we've been here long enough." ”

"I can't hide it from my husband." So Ning Lan could only smile and nodded: "If it's not safe here, then please go back first." ”

Another day's time came to the sky above Redkar with the gradual arrival of dusk, and at the same time, with the return of various members of the Qingling Adventure Group, Duan Qing, who had spent an afternoon here, unknowingly used comforting words to successfully persuade the aggrieved Thousand Finger Crane to go back, and at the same time, the day's work came to a complete end. Greeted the return of the rest of the members with a smiling face, and Ning Lan, who had been waiting here for a long time, also welcomed Asahi Dongsheng and the others who had been running around all day one by one with that rather sincere smile, and then the orderly arrangement and the meal that had already been prepared were also accompanied by her calm movements, with a fragrant food smell displayed in front of them: "Wow! There's actually meat! We haven't eaten meat in a few days? ”

"It's ...... Brown bear meat, right? Although the meat quality is not very good, it should be enough for hard dishes. ”

"Some of them are good to eat, what are you picking and choosing...... Ah, yes, we're rich now, aren't we? ”

"I don't know about that, I'll talk about it later after we've settled the accounts together...... Eat, eat, eat! ”

"Sure enough, it's still a familiar taste."

Quietly sitting in the corner of the broken house, Duan Qing, who was holding one of the foods, looked at the center of the lively and simple small table and nodded: "Now that I think about it, I haven't tasted your craftsmanship for a while." ”

"Thank you, sir, for the compliment." The smile on Ning Lan's face bloomed brighter and brighter: "Ning Lan is still looking for more suitable ingredients, and when she finds it, Ning Lan will definitely bring you more surprises." ”

"Anyway, where did you get so much money?" After biting down another bite of the tender piece of meat, Duan Qing, who suddenly seemed to remember something, then raised his head: "Aren't we all so poor that our adventure group has no food to eat during this time?" You can't grab a bunch of gold coins, can you? ”

"Well...... Ning Lan's account seems to have some money left on her. Fingers against her chin, whispering Ning Lan tilted her head quite cutely: "Plus some of the money Ning Lan earned on the way here, it should be enough to supplement the family." ”

"On the road...... Earned? ”

Blinking his eyes, Duan Qing completely put the food he was holding in both hands on his knees: "Anyway, how did you come here?" I haven't heard you go into detail yet. ”

"Ning Lan came with a team of other adventurers." The short-haired maid explained without hesitation: "They took Ning Lan through the multi-point teleportation array of Sky City, and then arrived at the border area of the Frey Empire, and then went through a series of things before finally coming here. ”

"Now that I think about it, it's been a really exciting process." Speaking of this, she smiled again: "If there is a chance, Ning Lan will definitely tell the story of that adventure group to Mr. ”

"Then tell me the story when I want to." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "But I should have explained to you before, this is an extraordinary time, and the team we are in is also in the busiest time......"

"You don't have to follow me so closely." He withdrew his gaze from looking at the purple-haired woman in the other corner, and waved his hand slightly: "Violet before just wanted to make a joke, and I won't have any other problems." ”

"But Ning Lan's body is still entrusted by Miss Yuyan." Knowing the meaning of the other party's eyes, Ning Lan tilted her head and replied: "In order to repay Miss Yu Yan's kindness, Ning Lan has to do her duty." ”

"Entrustment? What commission? Duan Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise: "If it's worried about my body or something, I've already said it just now——"

"No, Ning Lan received the commission to take a good look at you." Interrupting the words of the man in front of him, the smile on Ning Lan's face was a little more teasing: "In Miss Yu's original words, Ning Lan's task is to ensure your life in the free world, and at the same time not to let more flowers and plants get involved in you. ”

"Miss Lingbing and Miss Thousand-Fingered Crane, for example, and many more female members."

“…… Alas. ”

Looking up at the other party's smiling expression, Duan Qing, who took a deep breath, covered his forehead with a sigh: "What is this, am I such a sinful person?" ”

"Yes, you're guilty."

Gently nodded Duan Qing's forehead, and whispered Ning Lan, who leaned down slightly, and then surrounded Duan Qing's forehead with her slender fingers: "But no matter what you want to do, sir, Ning Lan will support you unconditionally, as long as you ...... As long as Mr. can continue to keep Ning Lan by his side and let Ning Lan be your personal maid. ”

"The more you do this, the more I will be to blame." Feeling the temperature coming from the other party's fingers, Duan Qing, who was holding the other party's fingers, sighed and shook his head: "Ling Bing may be right in part - I may be too good to you." ”

"I don't even know how to solve those other problems."

Saying this, Duan Qing, who stood up, then walked up to the team members who were constantly discussing other issues, and while quickly eliminating the last bit of food in his hand, he listened to the problem that Gedmane was talking about at this time: "It's already the third day, and the business development in the first three days has finally reached the moment of bottlenecks, although according to normal theory, the appearance of these bottlenecks is in line with the law, but I am afraid that the trouble we encounter is much more serious than theirs." ”

"Specifically, it's the question of the end of the first missions." He turned his head slightly, then nodded at Duan Qing, who was close to him, and said, "I am responsible for going to the homes of those people who have given the task today to recover the cost, and the result is ...... About half of the remuneration was not collected. ”

"So much?" Xue Ling, who was sitting in front of her, frowned her eyebrows when she heard the sound: "What's going on?" ”

"The reasons can be divided into many categories, such as those who claim that they have no money on hand, those who think that they need to confirm the completion of our tasks, those who don't know where they have gone with the doors closed, and those who suddenly want to add fuel to the entrustment and the entrustment requirements." Tossing the plate aside, Gedmayne reported in a low voice, "Of course, the most...... Or the ones who question our creditworthiness. ”

"Most of them are local imperial nobles." Asahi Dongsheng, who was still gnawing on the flesh and bones of his thighs, suddenly said loudly: "Should it be Redkar's local customs or the glorious traditions of these imperial nobles?" Anyway, they started to cheat in this way, not to mention the completion of the task, and some of them even began to deny that they had ever issued us a commissioned task......"

"That's probably the biggest problem without the Adventurers' Guild as a guarantee." Duan Qing, who understood, nodded: "There is no fair platform, and there are no measures to punish the other party, in case the guests turn over the account and refuse to admit it, we really have no good way to deal with it." ”

"Then you can't be so angry!"

Swallowing the food in his mouth hard, Asahi Dongsheng then slapped the table and stood up shouting: "What is the difference between making trouble at this point in time and dismantling our table?" In case we let them talk outside and it affects our reputation—"

"It's not necessarily a means." He shook his head with a calm face, and said in a cold voice with his arms crossed: "No one will watch a few of us resurrect the Adventurer Guild that has just fallen, they will not give us the cake of this market easily, the difficulties encountered today are only superficial, if they want to deal with us...... Soon there should be new moves. ”

"So what should we do?" Blinking his eyes, Duan Qing then smiled at Xue Ling Phantom Ice: "Do you already have a good solution?" ”

"Our current reputation is not good for bringing these guys who don't want to keep their promises to the public, and it's not easy for us to borrow someone else's hands to deal with this matter." Xue Lingphantasm Ice shook his head: "But the commission market behind the Adventurer Guild still exists, and the demand for this market will not disappear with the disappearance of the Adventurer Guild, even if they want to stop us, they can't stop the demand for us in the entire imperial capital." ”

"Let's continue to do what we originally planned, and take care of all the new commissions first." She was silent for a while, and then said in a firm voice: "Keep a record of these 'nobles' who don't keep their promises, screen out reliable clients, and then stabilize our client base as much as possible before other firms and counterfeiters appear one after another." ”

"After the whole market has stabilized, we will carry out this business field alliance." She looked around at the others present, and her tone was full of seriousness and confidence: "As long as you can maintain the current momentum, it will not be difficult to become the leader in this industry, and at that time...... There are countless ways to calculate this account in our hands. ”

"It's a good idea, but it's still a little difficult to implement." Gedmayne shook his head hesitantly: "And timing is a big problem - what if they strike again during this time and use those dirty means against us?" ”

"Then don't blame us for being ruthless."

The cold light in his eyes flashed away, and the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, who had let go of his hands, let out a heavy cold snort, and the sight that finally fell on Duan Qing's face also made the gray-robed magician involuntarily let out a few wry laughs, as if he was a little powerless to stop the determination of this white-haired woman who had become tough. The night of March 7th, the year 796 of the New Calendar of the Free World, was spent under the soft care of the Whispering Orchid, and at the same time, a group of team members continued to sort out the tasks at hand and the scene of new commissions, and it was not until the early morning of another day that new plans and schedules should be put on the table, and the efforts of the first three days of this firm finally showed a larger effect.

At the same time, as Gedmane feared, it attracted a greater enemy.

"Come out for me!"

Before the bustling streets became lively with the entry and exit of guests, the brigade of noble private soldiers had already appeared with the figure of a certain imperial nobleman riding to this place, and Count Chuckner, who had appeared here, then jumped off his saddle in the midst of the guards, and walked to Duan Qing and the others who had just opened the door to welcome the guests: "You few! You have to come with me now! ”

"Why are you again?" In the reaction of several people looking at each other, it was Xue Lingphantom Ice who took the lead in standing up: "Isn't the warning you received last time enough?" Why should we listen to you? ”

"Why? With this decree in my hand! ”

Holding up a rolled-up yellowed page in his hand, Count Chuckner pointed forward with disdain on his face: "By order of His Majesty the Emperor Draenier—"

"Go to the palace immediately to be inquired about, there is no mistake! Did you hear that? ”
