The hall burning with all kinds of magical light became a little darker with the appearance of Christine's words, and it seemed that the freezing air that diffused around her began to slowly extinguish, and the ordinary alchemy tables that were originally gradually emitting magical light due to the operation of some kind of magic array also lost their signs of imminent explosion with the passage of time, and turned into crystal clear ice sculptures along with the golem puppets that were also covered with layers of ice and snow around them. The hazy light reflected in the magnificent scene on the surface of these ice sculptures, and the only few living people standing in the far corner of this hall also tried their best to resist the biting cold air attached to the surface of their bodies, and as the gray-robed man who was questioned to the head, his expression in the face of the great magician also became a little more trembling: "That and that, I don't know what you mean......

"You know what I'm referring to, disciple of Wiggins."

The white and cold hand gradually approached Duan Qing's sideburns, Christine's smile gradually spilled on Duan Qing's face with her long blue hair, but the fingers covered with various magic patterns and magic rings emitted a piercing magical brilliance at the moment when they were about to touch Duan Qing's face, slowly outlining the dark film covering there: "Magic inhibition shield, and it is a shield formed with the medicinal power emitted...... Not a bad idea, even I want to express my compliments to you. ”

"Aha, thank you for the compliment."

The arms frozen in front of his chest finally showed signs of loosening as the freezing air dissipated, and Duan Qing's answer also showed a little more embarrassing smile: "But compared to your strength, this little trick of mine is nothing at all. ”

"It's just a comparison of pure magical power, and as a new magician, it's normal for you to have a little bit of a disadvantage." Shaking her head slightly, Christine completely tore aside the gray film outlined by her fingertips: "But in terms of some side alchemy and unknown realms, I am still much inferior to you adventurers. ”

"You, have you been watching around here?"

Finally, he couldn't resist the attack and temptation mixed with the politeness from the other party, Duan Qing shifted the question to a certain direction mentioned by the other party before: "Have you been staying in Tanzanian City?" ”

"It's just staying nearby." Christine, who took two steps back slightly, replied in a lazy voice, "I don't have much time and energy to take care of your affairs before the drama here doesn't get bigger, but ...... Hehe. ”

"What a precious picture." She turned around, and her slow steps gradually passed through the gaps in the layers of puppet ice sculptures: "I can actually see this violet in such an embarrassed appearance again in my lifetime." ”

"You, do you know this great magician?" Evaporating ice qi began to emanate from his body, and Xue Lingphantom Ice, who was also frozen in place with a defensive posture, also widened his eyes: "Are you very familiar with each other?" ”

"The members of the Council of Seven are originally colleagues who coexist with each other, and we also attend the exchange forum held by the old man every year." Christine's voice came from the depths of the tundra in the distance: "And before that Shanna became a full member, the Violet Lord in front of us was a full member of the Council of Seven. ”

"It's a pity that because of that incident, she quit the management of the Mage Council." The voice then became muffled: "Although many years have passed, this is a great loss for the Mage Council at that time. ”

“…… How long ago was that? ”

"About a few years ago? I can't remember. ”

Frowning slightly, Christine replied with a hint of hesitation: "Anyway, at that time, she resigned from the management of the Mage Council and came to live alone in the corner of the empire. ”

"It turned out to be like this." Her voice then buried in a deep movement again: "It's really fulfilled the evaluation given to her by a certain old god stick before." ”

"Fate is unpredictable."

Silence once again occupied every corner of this spherical hall with the passage of time, and for a while there was only the sizzling sound of the frozen air belonging to this frozen world gradually melting, Duan Qing, who was the first to break the freezing effect, then rubbed his body vigorously, and at the same time reached out and hugged the snow spirit phantom ice beside him: "How is it?" ”

“…… I said, aren't you an alchemist, don't you have any potions that can dispel the freezing effect? ”

"That potion does exist, but unfortunately I didn't have one prepared in advance."

Facing the disdainful joking gaze of the white-haired woman, Duan Qing, who supported the other party's body to the table, waved his hand with a little annoyance: "And even if I am a prophet, trying to solve the cold and cold qi of that great magician is not something that a person of my level can easily do." ”

"Then you can find a way to make up for your mistakes." Two imperceptible blush appeared on Xue Ling's face: "For example, use body temperature or something like that......"

"Uh...... And what about Tristan? ”

Duan Qing, who perfunctorily brushed the topic over with an embarrassed but polite smile and stiffly wrapped the other party around his chest with his arms, turned to observe his left and right: "Didn't he just cheer us on from afar?" ”

"As he claimed before, that guy wasn't much of a combatant." Together with Duan Qing's gaze, he fell on a certain ice sculpture in one of the corners, and the corners of Xue Ling's mouth twitched slightly: "So when facing this kind of freezing gas, his resistance will be much worse." ”

"We can't blame it, after all, we didn't expect a character like Christine to pop up." Scratching his head a little helplessly, Duan Qing, who looked at the ice sculpture, shook his head with a sigh: "But it shouldn't be fine, it's not a good choice to leave him alone...... Not. ”

"We'd better turn to the great magician for help." He took two deep breaths of cold air, and then took the lead in dragging the bodies of the two people towards the direction where Christine had disappeared before: "Your Excellency Christine, Your Excellency Christine?" Excuse me—"

The staggering footsteps dragging on the ice paused slightly, and gradually passed through the group of ice sculpture puppets, Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice, the two of them slowly projected their hesitant gazes to the direction where the ice archmage was, and the figure of the purple-haired woman who had tried their best to get close was also lying quietly in the circular area without the slightest invasion of freezing air, and the beautiful face of Christine, who was half-kneeling on the side, was almost like a sister...... Still alive? ”

"Of course it's alive, otherwise how do you think the automatic defense matrix here was activated?"

Slanted her eyes and glanced at Duan Qing, Christine, who lowered her head again, carefully moved back and forth on the great magician beside her with her hands soaked in ice blue brilliance: "It's just ......"

"But what?"

"Her body is normal, and her magical structure and elemental volume have not been damaged in any way."

Replying in a low voice, Christine quietly closed her eyes: "The damage to the 'Purple Sky Robe' is also very small, and there is no loss of other magic ornaments......"

"In other words, she was unconscious for another reason, right?"

Saying this, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was supporting Duan Qing with each other, involuntarily glanced to the side: "Is it soul damage?" ”

"It's worthy of the dark witch who once stepped into the abyss, and she actually knows about the soul."

She let out two chuckles without raising her head, but Christine's voice gradually became much calmer: "But those are the words that the Restoration, or the people of the Old Magic Empire like to use, and we are more inclined to call them mental power now. ”

"She's mentally damaged?" Duan Qing immediately shook his head: "No, ...... before that"

“…… What's wrong? ”

"No, nothing."

Facing Christine's slowly raised puzzled eyes, Duan Qing retracted the voice he originally wanted to make, which also made Christine, who was still checking Violet's physical condition, the scrutiny in her original eyes became a little thicker: "As I said earlier, I need you to provide all the information, including everything you have done during this time, as well as any insights that have happened around you that you feel valuable. ”

"I hope you can give me enough cooperation." Her voice became a little colder: "Otherwise...... It will be difficult for the Mage Council to separate this incident from the suspicion of the two of you, and will take some of the necessary action. ”

Sure enough, prestige and favorability can't be inherited.

With a slight sigh in his heart, Duan Qing then collected his mood: "That, about everything that happened in Tanzanian City a few days ago, and the trial presided over by His Royal Highness the Prince today, if you need to know anything, we will naturally do our best to cooperate with you, but——"

"Very well, remember your words now."

Interrupting Duan Qing's next words that he wanted to shirk, the great magician who put away his hands suddenly stood up, and then in the surprised expressions of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing, he hugged the purple-haired Violet beside him: "The adventurers below are approaching, this place is not a suitable place to talk, I will take Violet to a safer place to rest, and then find a suitable opportunity to talk to you." ”

"Especially you, Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice." Her fierce gaze then turned to the white-haired woman: "Although I can't feel those ethereal and weird breaths anymore, you are still the focus of our surveillance, if you don't want to be on our wanted list again......"

"Then wait here honestly."

"It seems that not all prestige is good prestige."

Looking at the scene of the great magician who suddenly disappeared in place and Violet floating in mid-air, Duan Qing let out a sigh: "Not only did I not become friends, but I was still on someone's blacklist...... Ouch. ”

"Who do you think got this way around?" The sudden sound of pain and coquettish anger echoed in the corner of this hall, accompanied by Duan Qing's arched body and the slowly withdrawn fist of the separated Xue Lingphantom Bing: "What kind of eyes are you, do you still want to quibble?" ”

"I don't care, I'm going to eat you in this life anyway!"

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

"Alright, this place should be safe enough."

The time came to the dawn of the next day, and in the second-floor room inside the Tanzanian City Adventurers Association, the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing were sitting face to face in the room where the two people were facing each other at this time, observing the movement of the street they had just passed with a slightly relaxed gaze: "Really, I can't even find a place where I can talk safely now......

"Not only the people of the Imperial Royal, but even some players are starting to smell the wind." Xue Lingphantom Ice, who also let out a sigh of relief, stuffed his recovered body into the chair opposite Duan Qing: "Not to mention how many pursuers we have been secretly watching along the way, even the Wind Eagle Tavern is now full of characters from all walks of life. ”

"After all, it's our rebirth point, and you can inquire about it with a little inquiry." Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Judging from the reaction of Tristan who brought back together, most ordinary NPCs will also regard it as our camp. ”

"The only one who can be trusted now is the Adventurers' Association." Putting away his rather helpless eyes, Xue Lingphantom Bing turned his radiant gaze to Duan Qing's body: "Then ......"

"Now I can talk about it." She looked at Duan Qing in front of her, her eyes flashing with more eager curiosity: "What have you done?" ”

"Don't worry, let me tidy up a bit." Duan Qing, whose gaze was drifting from side to side, responded casually: "Judging from the results, Christine's appearance should be some kind of braking method made by the system, maybe to justify myself, or it may be to prevent me from having a way to cheat......"

"Hey, can you say something that people can understand?"

"Don't worry, after all, what I'm trying to explain is a little too hard to believe."

Putting on a smiling expression at the other party, Duan Qing pressed down his hands, signaling the other party's calm face to become entangled with his thoughts, and finally wrinkled into a tangled mystery with his brows: "And judging from Violet's current situation, ......"

"The main reason why she can't wake up is probably because of me."
