"The injury was examined, and there were no major problems."

Some time later, in Zaraha City, in the Morning Star Tavern, where a large number of drinkers and players gathered, a female thief dressed in black put away her gaze to carefully inspect the gray-robed magician's body, and also put away the gray dagger that kept swimming around Duan Qing's body: "Magical energy, poison, and curses...... I've checked for all the negative effects I can detect, and there should be nothing wrong with it other than physical trauma. ”

"I didn't expect you to be good at healing." Nodding weakly, Duan Qing's forcibly mixed with laughter then echoed in the room that had just been rented temporarily: "It's really nice to have you by your side. ”

"Needless to say, this is what I should do." Packing up all kinds of medical supplies scattered around, Maggie, who was praised by Duan Qing, didn't seem to have any joy on her face: "Compared to what you did for me in Tanzanian City, this little aid is nothing at all. ”

"You don't seem to be very happy." Looking at the back of the other party silently packing up his things, Duan Qing asked with a little confusion, "Are you worried about the precarious future of our little adventure group?" ”

“…… No. ”

The movement of the body paused for a moment, and then Maggie's voice returned to its former indifference: "I just didn't expect you to encounter danger one after another, and I was a little unprepared for the incoming crisis." ”

"I'd like to see them come a few more times." Slowly lying back in place, Duan Qing also retracted his senseless smile into a posture of looking at the ceiling: "This way you can figure out what they want to do." ”

"According to your previous description, that kind of attack from another dimension is impossible to guard against." Looking up at the face of the Thousand-Fingered Crane who was guarding the door with his arms crossed, Maggie's tone became cold: "Even I, who is in charge of guarding and waiting, can't detect any signs, if it happens again...... Hum. ”

"You'd better figure out how to deal with the rest of the matter first." She lifted the wooden box with simple medical supplies, and the figure walking towards the door glanced back, "Or—"

"That Snow Spirit Phantom Ice might be angry again."

The faint sound of the door closing echoed in the dim tavern room, accompanied by Duan Qing's bitter smile that gradually pulled up, and the thousand fingered crane, who had been closing his eyes and did not speak, put down his arms at this time, and the figure who had just passed by the female thief then approached Duan Qing's bed again: "Really, what is there to be proud of." ”

"She looks like she has something on her mind." Duan Qing shook his head: "Although logically speaking, you should be much more familiar with each other than I do...... Didn't you forge any deeper friendships during your time in Tania? ”

"Tania's Fool Adventure didn't last long, and it came to an end when she vanished." Frowning his brows, the Thousand Fingered Crane finally put down the finger against his forehead: "The underground world originally had no fixed master, and after she disappeared, it became a mess, but the Fool Adventure Group had fallen into a fragmented state at that time, so they didn't care about the subsequent changes in that world." ”

"Now that I think about it, we're going to the same place where she has been for more than ten years." Speaking of this, she glanced back at the direction of the door where Maggie had just left: "I don't know how she's feeling now......"

"At least she's doing her job now." Pointing to the bandages wrapped around his body, Duan Qing replied with a smile, "Not only can you drag us away from that place in time, but you can even help treat these injuries of mine-"

"I, if I had practiced healing magic, I could have done all of these things easily." The thousand-fingered crane who raised his hand nuzzled his mouth with some dissatisfaction: "And you don't have anything to say to me who arrived in time?" I scared off the two of them. ”

"It's all said it was just a tentative attack on their part." Looking at the other party's little face that almost said "Praise me", Duan Qing covered his eyes a little helplessly: "No matter what their purpose is, their retreat should not have much to do with us, otherwise it is impossible for an immature great magician apprentice to bring a seriously injured zero-level magician to stop the attack of the two of them......"

"What do you mean by an immature archmage apprentice?" There was a dissatisfied cry again, and the lost gaze of the Thousand Fingered Crane fell on Duan Qing's chest again: "And...... And my Red Lotus Flame has been boosted by a lot of equipment, and its attack power is even enough to destroy the elemental structure, as long as you don't get attacked and killed in seconds, no matter how many means they have, I can stop them for a while-yes! ”

"What's up with those two skills of yours?" As if she suddenly remembered something, the red-haired girl's gaze suddenly fell on Duan Qing's face: "How did you release that flame blast and flame blast?" Aren't you a level zero magician? ”

"Of course, it's the skills that come with the equipment." With a smug laugh, Duan Qing showed the magician disc on his body to the other party: "Do you remember this thing?" The Flame Gem that swallowed you back then has now saved my life. ”

"Is that so?" After staring at the surface of the disc with a burst of brilliance, Thousand-Fingered Crane's eyes gradually showed an excited look: "Those two skills were given by this flame gem?" So amazing? ”

"Maybe it's because of the disc bonus, and there is no delay in the release of these two skills." Duan Qing smiled and nodded: "As long as you can launch it at a critical moment, and then choose a good direction to launch—huh?" You, what are you doing? ”

"Try the other gems, of course."

Throwing a large pile of magic gems in front of Duan Qing, the Thousand Fingered Crane's eyes shone with glittering brilliance: "Quick, I still have a lot of gems here, if they are all inlayed, won't your self-preservation skills become more?" ”

"Hey, hey! Don't press it up indiscriminately, don't you see that the system prompts that there is only one hole at present? If you want to set a new gemstone, you have to remove the original one......"

"Then take it off? How is this taken and pryed or is it required for some magic spell? ”

"I haven't studied how to take it off...... And aren't all the magic gems in your hands flame-based? The effect of the flame system should all be the same, right? ”

"I, I'm a fire-based magician, and of course the only gems I always have on my body are flame-based...... Wait, I'll look inside the warehouse and see if there's anything else in stock! ”

The sound of small footsteps then appeared at the door of this hotel, and the scene of the red-haired girl running out of the door gradually spread to the distance of the city under the night, and Duan Qing, who didn't have time to stop this energetic girl, could only let out two helpless laughs in the end, and then turned his head and lay back on his bed: "Even if you can really experiment with any skills suitable for self-preservation, it is probably useless to face such an enemy." ”

"Did you say so?" He looked at the ceiling, and then asked as if to himself, "What do you think?" ”

"It should be someone over there."

Transparent fluctuations then appeared in the corner of the seemingly empty room, and then Violet's figure appeared in the shroud of purple light: "The alien space that appeared just now should be a new application of the concussion effect, which was originally used to create experimental space and avoid the damage to the origin world that may be caused by magic experiments, but now they have developed it as a new means of attack, and the best way to hide people's eyes." ”

"Is there any way to counter it?"

"As long as you have a little understanding of the theory of magical structure and the theory of spatial oscillation, you can avoid this method at will."

Slowly tilting her head, Violet looked at Duan Qing with a bit of a playful smile in her eyes: "It's a pity that you and Maggie themselves don't have advanced magical theories, and their understanding of spatial shocks and the like is almost zero, not only can't they develop the anti-magic realm, but they can't even do the most basic avoidance of anomalies......"

"Yes, yes, you're trying to imply Wiggins' incompetence, right?" Duan Qing rolled his eyelids: "By the way, sell yourself to me again, so that I can nod and agree to be your student, right?" ”

"Although your qualifications are still not as good as a normal magician apprentice, you are still the only disciple of Norman." Violet said in a flat voice, "I don't want to see his work in the hands of someone else." ”

"It's true that the old man doesn't care much about me, but that's probably not his intention." Duan Qing, who shook his head, replied in a low voice: "And his name is also there, even if he refuses to make a move, as long as he can deter most of the enemies, it is enough." ”

“…… Fame doesn't matter at all, the more distant the magician is, the more he can realize this. ”

Standing in silence for a moment, Violet, who said this, then bowed her head deeply: "But my current status is indeed very difficult to compare with the Mage Council, and all I can do is to use my personal skills to support you. ”

"Don't you agree with the one mentioned by the Council of Four before?"

"I'm not going to meet with them, and I'm not going back to the Mage Council."

Turning around, Violet, who was standing beside Duan Qing's bed, only left Duan Qing with a lonely back: "This world can no longer accommodate the identity of the 'Violet Lord' as a magician, and the things she studies are far from the concept of the Mage Council, even if those people offer me good conditions, forcibly returning there will only make both sides more troubled." ”

"If you still have the chance, you can convey it to them for me." She tilted her head, and her figure disappeared into the dim space again: "The Violet Lord who betrayed the Mage Council is dead, but still alive, since you Wiggins don't want to care about your own apprentice......"

"Then don't blame me for Violet taking over."

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

It seems that they have finally made their own decision, and the investigation team, which had been delayed all night, then set off again in the direction where the principality is located, and this also made Asahi Dongsheng and the others, who originally planned to visit Sky City, quickly cool down the interest of wanting to play around. Hurriedly stepped into the territory of the Ferron Plain from the other side of Zaraha City, and the convoy that had simply replenished also formed an obvious long queue above the lush grassland with the send-off of the city that was still resting and rebuilding, and the carriage belonging to Duan Qing, who was still at the back of the convoy, also temporarily took on the responsibility of handling the logistics of the convoy and the defense of the rear of the palace under the orders of Her Royal Highness Princess Rena.

It sounds like an errand that doesn't have much effect, but it still makes all the people of the entire Qingling Adventure Group take action, especially the Snow Spirit Phantom Ice who insists on sitting in the formation with an injury, and the expression that originally looked at the convoy is also extremely serious at this time: "Continue to observe!" Don't let your guard down! Cheer me up! ”

"How long has it been since the sun has risen? If he's tired, let Gedmayne go up and take his place! ”

"Did the sentry come back? Didn't you say that you should report it once an hour? How long has it been, and why hasn't there been any movement? ”

"Didn't the Imperials say they would send a team of people to assist us? Where is their support? If they take advantage of the opportunity to be lazy, I will protest in front of Her Royal Highness Princess Rena on behalf of the adventure party! ”

“…… You don't have to work so hard. ”

A sigh-filled voice then came from inside the carriage, accompanied by Duan Qing's poked out head: "That group of imperial soldiers may have gone out to scout with Maggie, and if you wait a little longer, you may be able to wait until they come back-"

"Even inside Zalaha City, they dare to do it, can I not be nervous?" Reaching out and pressing Duan Qing's head back, Xue Lingphantasm replied angrily: "A wounded and sick person like you will sit in it honestly for me, and you don't need to take care of the affairs here...... Whisper Ning Lan! Give me a good look at him! ”

"Aren't you also sick and wounded?" Duan Qing's covered voice then appeared inside the invisible carriage: "No matter how hard we try, the role that we old, weak, sick and disabled can play is not as good as those imperial soldiers." ”

"That's not going to work either."

A hint of blush appeared on her pale face, and Xue Lingbing gritted her teeth and replied, "No matter how weak we are, we won't easily hand over our fate to others, in case those restorers call again......"

"Report."

The sound of horses' hooves from far to near then sounded in front of this carriage, accompanied by several imperial cavalrymen with solemn expressions gradually approaching the figures, and the leading imperial soldier then loosened his tense complexion, and his eyes were also full of cold and hard feeling when he looked at Xue Ling Phantom Ice: "You are the leader of the Qingling Adventure Group, right?" I'm the first squad of the Third Corps of the Rock Bear Army who came to your aid. ”

"Because the Duchy's soldiers have just appeared in front of me, I am a step late, please forgive me."
