1322 Changing indifference
"Big brother, did you mean to say that?"
In the street scene that was still full of all kinds of players and civilians busy, the Thousand Fingered Crane with his hands behind his back asked with a smile: "That old man is obviously too old to walk, and you are still bullying people like that-"
"Don't call people old men."
Looking at the red-haired girl who circled around him like an elf a little helplessly, Duan Qing finally shook his head: "It can be seen that Fortson is still very interested in the so-called other mysterious continent, but because of his age and identity, he has no way to explore it anymore." β
"You mean he was an explorer when he was younger?" Thousand-fingered Crane's eyes lit up slightly: "How is this possible?" It doesn't look like it at all. β
"Youthful wandering is everyone's patent, and that kind of thing is often called youth." Duan Qing replied with a smile: "We may need to search for specific information and details, but Fortson may have been an explorer when he was young, just like when I was young...... Belch. β
"Let's stop here." As if remembering something unspeakable, he touched his nose and then shook his hair and sighed: "Haven't we arrived yet?" β
"Ah, it's coming."
After making an OK gesture to Duan Qing, the red-haired girl's face then became excited, she gestured to the front of the street where the two people were walking, and at the same time waved her hand at the magicians who were busy in the sky there and had already discovered the arrival of the two people: "It should be in this place, I seem to be a little unsure......
"Uncle North! Uncle North! She shouted to the magician who looked like an uncle who had just retracted the spell casting, and stopped his departing figure, "Is the teleportation array located in this place?" β
"It's Xiaoqian." The originally serious face gradually changed to a smile, and the magician known as Uncle North then pointed in front of the two people: "That's right, the magic array has been set up, although it has not been approved by the principality, but they shouldn't mind this kind of thing." β
"Being able to set up a teleportation array under such conditions is already a difficult project."
The answer to this sentence was another young magician who flew by Uncle North's side, and the face that gestured at the Thousand Fingered Crane was also full of handsomeness, and the red-haired girl who was also smiling then waved at the colleague who interjected, and then took the lead in pulling Duan Qing towards the front: "Let's go, big brother." β
"You haven't been back there since that incident, have you?"
She pointed to the faintly visible magical brilliance that was erected in the dilapidated house, and took Duan Qing's hand a little harder, and Duan Qing, who vaguely understood the other party's mood, then also let the girl fiddle her body into the intricately striped magic array, and then disappeared in place in a burst of light. The fresh air and cold temperature then rushed in front of him, making the gray-robed magician who then opened his eyes shiver involuntarily, and he looked at the blue sky in front of him with an indescribable feeling, as well as the huge magic array that vaguely surrounded this sky: "O city in the sky. β
"The defenses here have been repaired, too?"
His gaze retracted from the distant sky, and then fell on the ancient walls behind the countless magicians who hurried past the area: "It doesn't feel like there's so much wind coming in anymore." β
"Of course, the magic technology of the Mage Council is not covered." Wiping his nose, the thousand-fingered crane who jumped out of the magic array also showed a proud smile on his face: "There is still a little credit for this!" There, there, and there...... I'm in charge of fixing those places! β
"Okay, okay, I know you're good." So Duan Qing could only smile bitterly and said, "If I have time, I will take a good look at this city." β
"Tell me where I should go."
His smile slowly retracted, and his voice became muffled with the movement of his head: "You can't let me follow my previous memories to find it, right?" I'm afraid I'll go somewhere that doesn't suit me. β
"It's already a central hub." Retracting his excited expression with some unhappiness, Thousand-Fingered Crane then opened the map and introduced: "There are several teleportation areas in Sky City, and this area is the closest to the headquarters of the Mage Council, and the Hall of the Council of Seven-"
"No need."
An indifferent voice then appeared on the left and right of the two people, attracting the attention of the magicians who were passing by here and the attention of the two people, and an old man wearing a black magic robe and a hair and beard that was extremely gray then also walked out of the passage next to the teleportation hall, and walked slowly in front of Duan Qing: "When you go and inquire about my location again, the Bai Orchid may have already withered." β
"Your Excellency."
In the surrounding scene of respectful salutation, whether it was the magicians stationed around the teleportation array or the magicians who passed by in a hurry, they all bowed their heads to the old man, and the Thousand Fingered Crane, who also lowered his head, heard Duan Qing's polite but embarrassed smile in his ears, accompanied by a slight voice when he scratched his scalp: "Isn't this still a batch of final payments owed to you, whoever sees the creditor will be stunned for a while." β
ββ¦β¦ Hum. β
In the surprised eyes of the large number of magicians, the old man with his hands let out an unconscious sneer, he waved the space around him into a normal atmosphere with a slight wave of his hand, and then turned around and walked back in the direction he came: "You still remember the account you owe me. β
"I mentioned it the last time I met you, but there were a lot of people there." Somewhat unnaturally, he brushed aside the gaze that was stuck on him around him, and Duan Qing, who came forward, replied helplessly: "Of course, judging from the current situation, this matter is not something that should be put on the table at this time. β
"You have to believe in the abilities of these little ones." Still walking slowly forward, Wiggins's voice in front of him seemed to be less spiritual: "Although they don't have any hope of being able to touch 'Li', they have been soaked in the magical realm for so long. β
"It's not much of a problem to deal with this little scene in front of you."
The invisible energy seemed to pass slowly through the surface of the skin, making Duan Qing and the Thousand Fingered Crane who were following behind the black-robed old man shiver involuntarily, and the inside of the passage composed of countless dark yellow pipes and magic lights also changed abruptly in this strange feeling, transforming into the appearance of a small workshop that looked extremely old and full of magic books and magic potions: "This, this is?" β
"Private room."
The footsteps did not stop because of the pause of the two players, Wiggins, who was walking in front, then slowly took off the black hood on his head, and with a wave of his hand, he volleyed two seats that were originally located in the corner of the room to Duan Qing and Thousand Finger Crane, and at the same time walked to one of the dilapidated square tables full of colorful bottles and cans: "I just borrowed one of the corners of the Void Library at random, and sold so many potion recipes to Shanaiduo...... Scold. β
"Let's not talk about this for now." As if trying to get some of the images he had just recalled out of his mind, the old man who turned to sit down tapped his forehead vigorously: "Where is your robe?" β
"Uh, that...... This ......" surprised expression quickly turned into a dry smile, and Duan Qing looked left and right and tried to say to him: "It's not, isn't it still good to wear on me?" β
"I didn't sell you the universal robe, after all, you can't afford to pay this price." Ignoring Duan Qing's attitude of trying to erase this matter, Wiggins's calm gaze slowly curled up under his lowered eyelids: "There are no magic fluctuations on your gray robe now, let alone any spatial breath. β
"Lost? Or is it broken? His eyelids lifted slightly: "Are you ready to sell the rest of your life to me?" β
"It's true that the robes are gone, but it's not completely gone!"
In the inexplicable expression of the thousand-fingered crane on the side, Duan Qing hurriedly shook his hands in a cold sweat: "I still inherit the ability of the universal robe!" Its mantle is still with me! β
"Look." He looked at each other for a while with the old gaze that was still looking at him, and then as if he couldn't withstand the pressure, he took out a bottle of potion that emitted red energy out of thin air: "At least the space package can still be used." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh? β
There was finally a hint of interest in his eyes, and Wiggins's insincere tone of accusation finally changed a little: "There are indeed spatial fluctuations...... How did you do that? β
"Furnace, furnace." Duan Qing hurriedly pointed to his feet: "You should know the purpose of that furnace, right, that robe fell into the furnace with me, and then, and then it just fused together." β
He pinched the magic potion in his hand, and at the same time looked at the old man's face with innocent eyes, as if Wiggins, who was curled up in his seat, then kept his position for a long time and did not move, but after a long time, his gaze was full of a completely different light from before: "You-"
"It's just nonsense!"
"Why mess with those guys? Why throw yourself into that danger? Fell into a furnace? That's where creatures can survive? I don't know how many pounds and taels I have, but if such a big thing happens, you don't know how to go back first, discuss it carefully and then continue to act? β
"Why don't you explain to us in advance and ask for our help?"
The piercing roar was followed by a low and serious warning, accompanied by the terrifying magical aura emitted when the old man's instantly opened white hair slowly fell back to his sideburns, and the books and magic bottles that floated around also fell back to their original positions in an orderly manner with the retraction of this breath, and at the same time, Duan Qing, who was silenced by the roar, had the opportunity to re-express his voice: "How could the situation at that time allow us to run back and report again, and isn't there still a thousand-fingered crane here?" Didn't she bring you here too? β
"It's a good thing we arrived in time, otherwise you wouldn't know how much of a mess you would have caused!"
A heavy cold snort came out again, and the old man's sharp and sharp gaze also lowered: "And you-you are lucky, you were abandoned by fate and thrown back into this world, otherwise...... Even I can't save you! β
"It's okay, it's okay, haha, haha." Recalling the signs that had happened in the white world before, Duan Qing's dry laughing voice became much more unnatural: "Anyway, it's okay if there is nothing to do, I will find a way to compensate you for that magic robe in the future." β
"When I lent it to you, I didn't think you'd pay it back." With an expected look in his eyes, the old man who clasped his hands continued angrily: "What about the disc? The disc was eaten by you too? β
"I guess I lost the disc." So Duan Qing's appearance of touching his nose became more and more embarrassing: "I was going to go back to look for it before, but I was caught by Rex and them againββ"
"Forget it, no one can use that thing except you anyway." Glaring at the other party fiercely again, Wiggins gasped a few hard: "Let's talk about the subject matter - is it the energy you control that you vented?" β
"Yes." Finally talking about the theme of this meeting, Duan Qing's voice also regained a bit of seriousness: "I got a glimpse of Menmorelo's memory, and then tried to control it, and it was successful." β
"What about the others?" Wiggins squinted at Duan Qing's face: "What else did you see?" β
"I also saw ...... Many. Duan Qing replied with a calm face, "Including his experiences when he was young, the fate he suffered in front of a certain village, his beliefs, and the various actions he secretly carried out in Tania laterβ"
"I'm not interested in Tania's future."
Waving his hand and putting on a tired look, Wiggins whispered in an impatient tone, "It's their business how they want to toss, even if they are destroyed?" If this group of people who don't know the height of the sky really 'unfortunately' died at the hands of that Menmorelo, maybe we will be a little less hindered when we finally make a move. β
"But this is the place where the prophecy originated, after all." Duan Qing raised his head and replied, "The fact that this is the former site of the empire, as well as the interpretation of the prophecy, are inseparable from this city." β
"So what? What does the future of the free continent have to do with them? Glancing coldly in the direction where Duan Qing was, Wiggins waved his hand emotionlessly: "It was they who made a mistake with the knowledge passed down from their ancestors, and let all the prophecies become reality, a group of people who have neither the strength nor the hope to control their own destiny-"
"Why do we have to care if they live or die?"
