"Sure enough......"

Duan Qing touched his nose: "Everyone has their own tasks, and so do you...... Is that right? ”

“…… What, don't like to listen? ”

“…… Of course not, I'm listening. ”

Putting on an innocent pose, Duan Qing lowered his head, and then covered the eyes of Queen Maggie, who was swaying with a bewitching figure, out of his sight. The whistling sound from the night sky then passed by Duan Qing's ears under the cold winter wind, bringing the small whispers that Queen Maggie then uttered in front of him, but Duan Qing, who showed a look of listening, heard completely irrelevant content at this time.

【Favorability...... 76%。 】

[——Passed the favorability test.] 】

[——The ability test has been passed, and the persuasion conditions have been met.] 】

[Saraka chooses to tell.] 】

This is...... What the?

Is it the sound of the system?

By the way, I tore the Void before, and there may be a world connected to the chain system......

But...... Competency Testing? Convincing conditions? Favorability? Is there still such a setting in this game world?

Thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, Duan Qing gradually hid his deeply locked brows, and then while still smiling, he tried his best to filter out the system prompts that were still echoing in his heart: "...... I fled my homeland, walked out of the Empire, and then went into exile in the present place. ”

"At that time, although the people of Feilong County were not very good, they were far less difficult to survive than they are now." Touching her short hair slightly, Maggie's eyes looked into the distance with a little more memory: "Zaraha City at that time...... It is also the commercial center of the two countries that run through the east and west of the free continent. ”

"You...... Turned out to be an Imperial? Duan Qing, who finally began to deal with what the other party said, asked in surprise, "You fled from the west?" ”

"Yes, I'm a refugee from the ground up." Maggie smiled wryly, "There are not many people who live beneath Tania who are not refugees who have fled from elsewhere. ”

“…… I'm sorry. So Duan Qing paused in his voice: "I mentioned your sad past." ”

"No, that's exactly what I'm trying to tell you." Maggie shook her head, "Because I used to stay here for years before the battle between the Empire and the Duchy started again. ”

"Uh...... Are you referring to the city of Zaraha? ”

"Yes, it's the city."

In the cold wind that kept blowing, Maggie, who didn't seem to feel any cold, brushed her hair slightly: "If you don't have to......"

"I don't want to come back here either."

The footsteps gradually passed from the far side of the street, and then returned the quiet environment to the center of the street again, Duan Qing, who was aware of the other party's complex emotions, then closed his mouth, and let the woman next to him spread the sigh from her memories: "At that time, I was still a child, there was no way to survive here, and the life of being bullied and the desire to live conflicted with me for a long time, and finally stopped in the winter of that year......"

"Now that I think about it, it seems that the winter of that year was as cold as it is now." She raised her head, and then her gaze fell on Duan Qing's body from the dark night sky: "Because I couldn't stand the cold and hunger, I finally chose to give in and found the head of a tavern. ”

"Tavern?"

Or ...... Nightclub. Maggie tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I've heard those adults mention it many times before, they need some girls, so ......"

"You ......" Duan Qing's eyes changed slightly: "You really went?" ”

"What kind of eyes are you? I'm also the manager of a nightclub. Maggie smiled slightly: "Forget it...... My current business is only a continuation of my old business. ”

“……”

"Well, that's not the point of this conversation."

Looking at the overwhelmed look that gradually appeared in Duan Qing's eyes, Maggie smiled and covered her mouth with the back of her hand: "Besides, I was small and thin at the time, so I really couldn't mention the taste of the guests...... The owner of the tavern was a bit sympathetic, and usually gave me enough rations to hang my life, but I couldn't ask for anything more. ”

"The tavern...... Does it still exist? ”

“…… It doesn't exist anymore. ”

Answering Duan Qing's question lightly, Maggie lowered her head again: "It didn't exist at that time. ”

“…… Sounds like a long story. ”

"It's easy to say."

Waving his hand at Duan Qing, Maggie took the lead in jumping onto the rooftops of different heights next to the street: "That kind of tavern that is inconsistent on the outside is impossible not to get into other troubles, even if there are no other entanglements of interests, the city lord at that time will not let such a thing keep scraping oil and water on his territory, so since I arrived, it has been in a state of half-opening and half-stopping, until one day...... A group of city guards came to the door. ”

"They claimed that the tavern was harboring fugitives." Glancing at Duan Qing, who then jumped up, Maggie turned her head and looked in a certain direction of the quiet city: "Then a large-scale search began. ”

"The so-called fugitives...... Is that referring to you? ”

"I thought so at first, too."

With her arms clasped to her chest again, Maggie answered Duan Qing's question in a low voice: "But later...... There was a guy dressed in black who jumped out of the backyard of the tavern, and the guards got into a big fight with the man, and then there were many casualties, and many others died, and even the tavern was almost destroyed by the battle. ”

"The boss uncle lay on the ground and shouted that he had been framed, and then he was stabbed by the guards who rushed to him." Looking into the distance, Maggie seemed to have no emotion in her eyes: "They wreaked havoc on every remnant of the tavern until ...... They found me in the stables. ”

“…… Why, they didn't do anything to you? ”

"No, it was the fugitive who saved me."

After a slight pause, Maggie finally raised her arm pointing in a certain direction: "I remember in that place, right?" He was like a dead man who had gone and returned, slaughtered all the guards, and then left the place with me, the only one who survived. ”

"That's my teacher, the one who taught me this skill."

The fingers wrapped in gloves were still hanging in mid-air, and Maggie turned her head to look at Duan Qing's location: "In the later time...... He was the one who took me around the city all the time. ”

"Oh?" Duan Qing's expression finally became interested: "That person...... Who is it? ”

"I don't know his name, I don't know who he is."

The hand stretched out forward suddenly turned into a dagger that flashed with black light, and Maggie turned her hand and drew two marks in the air in front of her that were darker than the night sky: "He is mysterious and powerful, but he doesn't say much, and every time he trains me, he just makes a demonstration move for me to imitate, and then ignores it......"

"Why did he teach you to fight?" Duan Qing raised his question in a timely manner: "Is it just to look at you pitiful?" ”

He ...... Didn't tell me either. ”

As if reminiscing about that strange time, Maggie's eyes revealed an unconcealed curiosity: "He just kept teaching me the art of concealment, the way of stealth, the use of daggers, and...... Some strange use of energy, in retrospect, was a whole set of thieves' training rules, but in my mind at the time, I couldn't tell what my teacher was doing. ”

"Nope." Speaking of this, she suddenly stopped her voice: "Actually, now...... I couldn't see his profession either. ”

"Uh......" Duan Qing hesitated slightly: "Is this question important?" ”

"Maybe it's important, because I'm looking for him right now."

Looking back at Duan Qing's face, Maggie shook her head and replied in a low voice, "This is also another purpose for me to come to this city. ”

"He's been hiding in the city?" Duan Qing asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

"That was about one day three years ago."

Shaking her head, Maggie turned her gaze back to the corner of the city in the other direction: "I went back to the hiding place of the underground network as usual, but I didn't find him, the guy who had been wrapped in a black cloak...... He hasn't been back since. ”

"He's gone?"

"To be precise...... He fled. ”

Sighing softly, Maggie replied in a low voice, "He's still a fugitive after all, only this time...... It was the city that he fled. ”

“…… Who's after him? ”

"I don't know them, but I've seen them fight from afar."

His eyes slowly moved back to Duan Qing's body, and Maggie's gaze had a slight look of understanding: "That scene...... It's very similar to the scene you just showed. ”

"They...... Is it the Weaver of Destiny? Duan Qing's eyes widened: "It's someone from the Destiny Alliance?" ”

"If the Shadow Society's investigation and intelligence are true...... Yes. The short-haired woman's eyes deepened a lot: "If my inference is correct...... My teacher was supposed to be a weaver of destiny as well. ”

"It's a man who defected from the Alliance of Destiny."

The cold air once again blew through the night sky as they spoke, bringing Maggie's words straight to the distant street scene, but the woman looking in that direction did not shrink in the slightest, and her condensed eyes were also full of determination: "After seeing the overflowing void energy you used, I became even more convinced of such thoughts, because...... Many of the techniques and uses of energy that he taught me at that time were quite close to the way Void Energy was presented. ”

"It's like...... The ones you used when you were in the Rondell Valley? ”

"I'm sorry for deceiving you."

In the increasingly obvious fluctuating air, Maggie showed an apologetic smile at Duan Qing: "I just think...... The existence of Void Energy will cause you unnecessary trouble, which is why ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone doesn't have some secrets that can't be told." Duan Qing waved his hand meaninglessly: "So...... How's your investigation going? ”

"I don't find any signs related to the Weaver of Destiny." The smile on Maggie's face that had been on her face finally began to fade slowly: "But...... The energy in me is telling me that the power of destiny is converging here. ”

"The ...... of Destiny Strength? Duan Qing tugged at the corners of his unnatural mouth: "What is that?" ”

"Do you really think ...... Will that person teach me those things for no reason? Maggie shook her head and smiled: "Weavers of Destiny never do things for no reason, they must follow the trajectory of fate, so as long as they have already made an action, it will definitely succeed in the end - the matter of my previous training as a thief must have been within that man's plan, and he should have known about my forced escape here after he left, and he must have known about it...... I then went into exile in Tania and became Queen Maggie. ”

"To settle the fate that has entangled me, I will come back one day."

The undulating sound gradually turned into a chaotic noise, constantly rotating around the roof where the two people were, and Duan Qing, who was watching those things, also began to follow Maggie's gaze, constantly patrolling the night sky that seemed to be unchanged: "And they will perceive your return, and they will become an obstacle for them." ”

“…… It looks like we've been talking for too long. Maggie smiled and turned to Duan Qing's direction: "If we have the opportunity in the future, we can continue this beautiful topic." ”

“…… How do I contact you? ”

"You don't need to contact me, I'll show up when I should."

The figure gradually became more and more blurred, and Maggie's voice then began to retreat towards Duan Qing's consciousness: "You should also go, no matter how strong you are now...... Nor is it their opponent. ”

"I've seen what they're capable of."

Looking at the night sky that had become empty, Duan Qing's voice deepened again: "Although it doesn't matter if you have played with them, but ...... Never mind. ”

He closed his eyes and listened silently to the increasingly noisy circular noise, and the five senses that had been used to receive information about the game world then sank into the depths of consciousness like rocks sinking into the sea. The sound of non-existence then broke through the interference of those noises like an undercurrent under the water, and slowly surrounded Duan Qing's ears, he tried to distinguish the content of those sounds, and only after a while did he find the electronic synthesis sound he heard at the beginning again: "I can see the origin of this game......"

"This trip is not in vain."
