The meeting, which was urgently convened by the Mage Council, slowly came to an end amid the discussions of countless mages and players, and the last few words of conversation between Wiggins and Duan Qing never stopped for a moment in their discussion. The brilliance of magic also appeared in the vast hall one after another with the departure of the magicians, accompanied by the figures of those great magicians who looked at each other and disappeared in place without a word, and Duan Qing, who became the target of the public because of the last message before, had also disappeared in this hall at this time.

With the help of a few players who had rushed around them at some unknown point, they took advantage of the chaos and left the place early.

"You're from the Fool's Adventure Band?"

Carefully avoiding the deliberate gaze of those who were constantly searching for them, the gray-robed magician let out a heavy breath, he fanned the sweat that kept appearing up and down his neck, and then looked at the thief standing at the front of the group of players covering him: "I remember you are the guy called Nutnut, right?" ”

"Mr. Broken Water actually remembers it below." Hu Tao Rakshasa, who also wiped the sweat on his forehead and confirmed the surrounding situation, also showed a relaxed smile on his face: "It's been a long time since we last met in Tanzanian City, right?" I didn't expect Mr. Linyuan to become such a powerful player. ”

"If I were really that good, I wouldn't be so handsome by Wiggins." Sighing and shaking his head, Duan Qing leaned his body against the wall of the street that belonged to the outer city of Sky City behind him: "It's you-why are you people still active here?" Haven't you all been captured by the principality? ”

"It's just that the president and the big brother of black corn have been arrested, and they can't afford to arrest all of us." Signaling to the five or six teammates beside him, Hu Tao Rakshasa's expression also became much lower: "Maybe it's because we don't belong to important people, after escaping from the pursuit that night, we are no longer pursued by those principality forces, and Sky City is also a neutral city, guilds like us with a certain prestige can still continue to mix, so we have stayed here." ”

"We've been trying to find a way to rescue the eldest sister and the black corn boss." Speaking of this, his face became a little lost: "As a result, until I heard that Tania had an accident, I didn't find any opportunity. ”

"And then what happened today?" Duan Qing pointed at his face in surprise: "I really didn't expect you to come forward to cover us at this time." ”

"Because we've heard about you, and we've seen your influence in the Mage Council." The Maharaja glared at himself, "You, do you really have the future of the Mage Council in your hands?" ”

"Of course—no." The corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a wry smile, and Duan Qing looked around again with some fear: "This is also the reason why I left that place quickly, after all, it is also a very troublesome thing for me to explain to them one by one, 'those just now are all amplifying words'." ”

"Big, big brother, are you just amplifying words?"

Before the Walnut Rakshasa could express his surprise, the Thousand Fingered Crane, whose hair was tied in a white hood, jumped up in surprise: "I thought that you had already made up your mind, big brother, nodding so happily, and speaking so confidently-"

"I've seen a lot of scenes, and I naturally feel confident when I speak." Duan Qing replied with a meaningless expression: "But the so-called things like fulfilling the prophecy and paying the price are just promises that Wiggins is forcing me to make. ”

"Only, is it just empty vernacular?" opened his mouth and didn't speak immediately, and the Hu Tao Rakshasa who was stunned for a long time then showed an increasingly frustrated expression on his face: "It's a pity, I originally wanted to ask you to go and intercede with the Mage Council and help us release the group leader." ”

"The Mage Council's decision is to help the Principality, and they won't whisper to the Principality for something." Duan Qing shook his head: "But-"

"Your regiment leader and Black Corn shouldn't have an accident, after all, at this point, no one will harm their minds anymore."

He made such a comment, and then told everything he had learned about the Fool Adventure Group to the several remnants of the Fool present, and the footsteps of walking back on the streets of Sky City became clearer and clearer as several people walked together, as if they had broken away from the atmosphere of countless pairs of eyes staring at each other before: "...... In this way, the head of the regiment and the big brother of black corn were originally working with them? ”

"It's also becoming uncertain now, because Black Corn himself doesn't look like he knows what was going on behind the scenes." Glancing at the Thousand Fingered Crane beside him silently, Duan Qing then replied in a low voice: "He has now been pushed to the front of the stage, and all the spearheads are also focused on him, so how to deal with the relationship between the two countries behind the fool and them has now become an unpredictable problem." ”

"And Mengzhu hasn't been found yet." The light in front of him shone a little in front of him as the end of the alley faded, and the gray-robed magician then raised his arm: "I don't know where Lou Tingyu and the others who got in the way ended up getting her." ”

"Mr. Broken Water seems to be very familiar with our Fool Adventure Party." Sighing deeply in the same way, Hu Tao Rakshasa then put his surprised gaze on Duan Qing on the side: "Are you also acquaintances with our head of the group?" ”

"Well, I can only say that I am very familiar with the past Fool Adventure Group." Duan Qing scratched his nose a little embarrassed; "It's not just Mengzhu and Black Corn, like Xiao Hongchen in the past, Jicheng Evil Shao, and this Miss Thousand Fingered Crane are all my acquaintances...... Why, don't you know them? ”

"I, I don't know much about them." The thief player who muttered in reply looked at each other with his companions who were also in a trance behind him: "When we joined this guild later, these people were no longer there, and I heard from Big Brother Black Corn that they all left this team later to find their own paths...... Ah, like Miss Thousand-Fingered Crane. ”

"As things stand, it seems like you're a little bit more accomplished than they are." Smiling at the red-haired girl next to him who didn't know what to do, Duan Qing shook his head and returned to these people: "But you don't look bad, not only can you be alone in such a city, but you can also deal with these troubles in front of you——"

"No, they're not far off."

The abrupt voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, accompanied by a red-robed sturdy magician slowly approaching them, and the player-like man with short hair and a Chinese face let out two smug laughs, and at the same time pushed back the two Vizzard's men he had brought with him behind him: "What an amazing feat, we have worked so hard to climb to the center of the Council of Seven, and suddenly another Wiggins apprentice popped up. ”

"It can't be that this achievement was achieved through the shadow of the Fool Adventure Troupe, right?" He rubbed his chin and looked at Duan Qing's face with observation and scrutiny: "But it stands to reason that we have already consumed all the resources left by Christine, the great magician of the water system, why did we suddenly get out of such a character as you?" ”

"Your Excellency is following us?" From the Hu Tao Rakshasa and the others who suddenly became nervous, it was Duan Qing who took the lead in handing the smile to the face of Sunset Lonely: "Although our means of taking the opportunity to slip away are not very clever, you don't have to deliberately come forward to wake us up, right?" ”

"You're right, I showed up to meet you." Standing up again, Sunset Lonely Smoke looked up and down at the gray-robed magician in front of him: "Hmm...... I've heard the scholar describe it before, but if I see it with my own eyes, I still don't see what kind of talent you have. ”

"Grade? Attribute? What is mental manipulation? What is the hidden mana? He casually asked a few usual questions that only magician players care about and measure, and then looked Duan Qing's unresponsive face up and down: "If the strength is only such a little bit, how much chance did you encounter to get into Wiggins's eyes?" ”

"It doesn't look like someone who wants to communicate well." Sighing and shaking his head, Duan Qing then showed a wry smile: "Since Your Excellency doesn't plan to recruit me, then why do you show up to talk to us?" ”

"After all, it's someone who has already approached the fool, and it's hard for us to get along from our position." Waving his hand, Sunset Lonely Smoke put his opposing attitude on each other's table without care: "Even if we agree to have a good exchange with you again, I'm afraid that guy who is against the wind will not agree." ”

"But I look at the development of today's meeting, and you don't seem to be on the same front." Raising his eyebrows, Duan Qing's reply was also full of-for-tat: "If it weren't for your Vizad finally reversing that Ifrit's attitude, I am afraid that you and Ms. Herm, who is supported by the wind, will have to vote in opposite directions." ”

"A vote of agreement or a vote against it will not change much of the situation at that time." Generously admitted, Sunset Smoke grinned as well, "But as long as our influence is strong enough to extend two-sevenths of the Council of Seven at this moment, the player base we represent will be enough to compete for a place in this Mage Council." ”

"Unlike you, Thousand-Fingered Crane, you wouldn't have used these most conspicuous resources at all." He said unabashedly to the red-haired girl on the side, and then turned his gaze back to Duan Qing's body: "It's not like you." ”

"When I was outside at first, I thought you were a little person who relied on the Red Lotus Maiden to get in, but I didn't expect you to be the tiger who was enough to influence the decisions of the entire Mage Council."

He put away the corners of his upturned mouth, and his gaze became extremely solemn, Duan Qing, who was staring at him with this look, then also put away his senseless attitude, and lowered his head instead: "It's an exaggeration, after all, in a meeting like this, the side with the advantage in numbers is the most dominant." ”

"Do you think that as soon as that Wiggins speaks, who of these great magicians present will dare to disobey?" Sunset Lonely Smoke let out a sneer: "Even if they still bite their ground and disagree, the number of neutral mages alone is enough to change everything." ”

"That old guy has so much influence?" So Duan Qing put on an innocent expression: "I'm sorry, I don't want to be like this, but I didn't expect that old guy to suddenly come to such a hand at the end - that's right." ”

"Do you Vizard know about that prophecy?"

As if he remembered something important, his gaze at the strong man in the red robe also became serious, and the sunset lone smoke, who was obviously stunned by the question, also put on a thoughtful expression, looking like he didn't know whether to tell his information to the person in front of him: "Hmm...... Of course we know something, but why should we-"

"Because you Vizard have always been such a bright and upright villain." Shaking his head to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing put on a look that he had already expected: "This kind of small action to disgust us in terms of intelligence, presumably you should also disdain to use it, right?" ”

“…… Hey. ”

looked at the other party fixedly for a while, and let out a sneer, Sunset Lonely Smoke then retracted the arm that was about to be raised: "Okay, since you said so, it doesn't hurt to tell you something." ”

"Hywald, the bosses of the Restorationist Magical Council, seems to be very interested in the word 'Emperor'."

He pointed in the left and right directions of the sky city where he was, as if to signal the east and west of the continent: "They used to do it to Drenier, and now they are working on Pamir's body, so the next step is ...... They are probably ready to calculate the Free City to the east. ”

"These people probably want to get their hands on one of the four emperors." He frowned, then smiled with relief: "As for why they are so obsessed with the position of emperor after establishing the Magic Empire and standing on the stage of the Free Continent, we don't know. ”

"You also think their next target is Free City?" Duan Qing asked with a look of surprise, "Then your original plan was to go to that city and stop their plan?" ”

"That's right." Nodding his head, Sunset Guyan looked at Duan Qing's face with an expression like a fool: "But we are not for any stinky reason such as national righteousness and world peace. ”

"After all, before you intervene in this lever, the original plan of the Mage Council was to head east."
