To the north of Tania is a high platform of ring-shaped buildings, with a cascade of steps scattered around the corners, the highest of which is the Oracle's Pedestal, which is located northeast of Tannia, and as with the rest of the area, there seems to be little to be noticed here except for a vast stone platform and a four-pillar stilt building that is so empty that you can see it all the way through. The earthen huts built by the inhabitants of the northern part of the city www.biquge.info the Fun Pavilion besieged the foot of the city into a circular community, and among the limited facts known to the players who had often lived here these days, the greatest function of the platform in front of the hill seemed to be the place where the sacred scales were placed—such a place to judge the wrongdoers such as criminals.

Of course, no player wants to be sent to this platform as a criminal, so another major reason why it is well-known to the player community is because this high platform with more than a dozen floors is a great place to enjoy the beauty of the city.

"Ivoster sent a reply."

Above the platform overlooking the city, two black figures with the same hoods were crouching on the edge of the city, one after the other, constantly patrolling the city in the afternoon: "That old guy...... Indeed exiled to this place. ”

“…… Why wasn't it reported in a timely manner? ”

"Probably because I'm afraid we'll blame him."

The sunset gradually set in the west, rolling up a breeze, bringing up the corner of the black cloak on the two of them: "He thinks he has not completed the task...... Maybe you're still working on it somewhere. ”

"Effort...... Kill that Gustin? ”

The man who spoke earlier shook his head and glanced at the tall building behind the platform: "If you want to become famous and ascend, you don't need to use this extraordinary method, what Gustan should accept is not a man-made end, but a judgment of fate."

"Judgment...... Maybe it's already started. ”

Another black shadow sat on the edge of the platform, and his legs seemed to be swinging high into the air: "I can see ...... The city is stepping into a future of death, if nothing else...... Those who restore will be victorious. ”

Not necessarily...... Right? ”

The comrade turned his head: "The signs we saw before indicate that Freya is moving nearby, and Wiggins has not said anything, they are all people with the power to change their fate, if they make a move......"

"In fact, they've already made a move."

Another dark shadow looked in the direction of a library to the west of them, "Where we can even hide...... Who else but the Mage Council could do it? ”

“…… Hum. ”

The man from before let out a low sneer: "The consequences of disobeying fate, that old fellow knows better than anyone else, if he can bear the shackles that come with this...... Then we have nothing more to say. ”

"He is not the only one who will bear the shackles." The other shook his head and replied, "If Freya is here, then Christine, who is inseparable from her, must also be there, plus the wind mage...... Some of the seven-member councils, more than half of them, were enough to withstand the wrath of all. ”

"But they don't necessarily want to do that."

Looking at the kneeling figure in front of a council hall surrounded by some onlookers not far below the platform, the man shook his head and sighed, "The Mage Council can't interfere with the world, even if it is in the name of defeating the Restorationists, they can't accept a leaderless principality in its entirety. Today, the Pamir is almost an anvil on the board, and once he is gone, the city will eventually fall into the hands of those people. ”

"Destiny...... Hey, that's the charm of fate. Another dark shadow also laughed: "The fate that cannot be changed no matter what, is the truth we seek."

"So...... We don't have to worry too much either. The dark shadow who spoke first concluded: "As long as we can continue on this path, then we can get everything, and the loss of life is nothing in the face of this torrent, even if it is our own ......"

"We can accept death, but no one else will."

Pointing in the direction of Yarstrasse, the black shadow with his legs flying in the air stood against the autumn wind and put up his hood: "Those commoners, officials, nobles, and even soldiers of the empire...... In order to change their lives against the sky, they may all have a struggle. ”

"A futile struggle."

The first dark shadow shook his head, "Don't bother with them."

"The lord of the Free City has sent an envoy, and it seems that he wants to meddle in this matter as well."

"Hmph...... Welcome, as long as he hadn't come in person, these efforts would have only added to the shackles. ”

"So...... We're so decided? ”

"So be it."

The first black shadow slapped the black robe and stood up: "What is going on here...... There's no need to make a move, let Ivost come back, Gustan's fate ...... It will also be up to him to decide. ”

“…… Okay, I'll bring him back. ”

Another dark shadow jumped up from the edge of the platform: "There is only one problem left."

"What?"

"Adventurer." Another dark shadow said slowly.

"They? Hmph, a swarm of ants, what can you do? ”

"The adventurer's recent activity, you and I are both watching it." The man tugged at the hood around his neck: "People from the Imperial side, people from the Duchy side, and many people in between...... If these people work together, they may be able to change the fate of the city. ”

"But they're just a mess, and they're still fighting each other."

"But they will also cooperate, if ...... If the conditions are right. ”

The two black shadows looked at each other in mid-air for a while, and the person from before slowly lowered his head: "This is a possibility...... Have it? ”

"There is no sign of that at the moment."

Another stretched out his hand: "According to my observation, the vast majority of them are still in a state of ignorance of the truth, and they are just here for their own interests, wanting to fight for a piece of the cake that is about to appear...... In addition, their positions are also very complicated, and some of them are members of powerful forces, and it seems that they also want to take this opportunity to get a piece of the pie......"

"Are you referring to the party called Vizad?" The first shadow asked, "The ones who often appear in the Mage's Council?"

"Yes, and the people of Liberty City." Another dark shadow replied: "It seems that the dark organization that once attacked the Pamirs has once again sent out men, and the local warrior family seems to be showing some signs of imminent action......

"Interesting."

The black shadow sighed and said, "There are so many actors, I suddenly have a little interest."

"What, you don't want to leave again?"

"Wouldn't it be a pity to miss a once-in-a-century play?"

The man turned, and his gaze looked again at the center of the city below the platform, "I've ...... since Rhona disappeared and Gustan fled."

"It's been a long time since I've seen a show like this again."

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

"A group of people who know how to watch a play!"

Tania City, in the station of the rivers and lakes, with an indignant face, Broken Mountain slammed the page in his hand on the table in front of him: "I don't think it's big enough, right?" If the principality really collapses, labor and management will be the first to settle accounts with them! ”

"You're going to settle accounts with a group of melon-eating people?" The young man who was leaning against the corner with his arms crossed replied with a smile: "Isn't it, big brother, you are not like you when you are dizzy?"

"Shut up and get your game up."

Broken Mountain, who had a bearded face, glared at the other party: "If you can't get back the championship...... Watch out for us two picking your skin! ”

"Hey, brother, do you want to be so ruthless?" Duan Shanhe, who was dressed in green shirts, hurriedly raised his hands: "Besides, tonight's game should be the eldest brother first, and I have nothing to do with the team competition......

"There's no need to rush the game."

The scarred man sitting in the middle had a low voice, but he suppressed all the quarrels between the two brothers next to him: "The top priority at the moment...... It's still about how to keep Tania. ”

"What Grayson said before, can we believe it?"

"The fall of Tania City was also a huge blow to them, and they deserved it...... Do your best. ”

Broken Wind Thunder said lightly: "We don't have much choice now, since they promised to defend the south gate, then we have no choice but to fulfill them."

"Vizad has also sent us a communication before." Duan Shanyue continued: "They also want to help us defend the city, but the conditions are ...... It's a bit big. ”

"Defending the city? Are you sure they really want to do that? ”

Before Breaking Wind and Thunder could reply, the young man on the side spread his hands and questioned: "In the city before, I also saw them looking for shops everywhere, looking at the look of ambition, as if this was already their own territory......

"That's what they're asking for...... One. Broken Mountain raised his head and leaned back towards his seat: "If the defense of the city is successful, they want to buy twelve shops from us, and the addresses have already been chosen...... Hey, you're very skilled at robbing while it's hot. ”

"The advantage is currently in their hands, and such an outcome is inevitable." Broken Wind Thunder replied in a low voice: "Considering the result after the defeat, such conditions are acceptable, let alone under the advice of that scholar......

"Scholar? Is the ghost a conspiracy? ”

"Most of this kind of shady idea was conceived by him, but if Vizard's appetite is so great, then they must have a reason to do so, and considering the mage council in their hands, such a situation is very likely." The scar-faced man lowered his head and said, "If they know the inside story, then they naturally have a solution to this endgame, and this also means ......"

"We may face more enemies than we can imagine." With a serious face, he continued: "Only they are sure to solve it."

"Actually let the Sword of Justice say it right again, this broken game ......" Broken Mountain slapped the table and shouted, "Why is the information we have in a world of swords and magic so unbalanced?"

"Almost all of our forces are in the principality, but now it's coming to an end." Broken Wind Thunder shook his head: "So this is the case...... It's just so normal. ”

"At this point, we can only look at other people's faces. Unless...... Our powerful way of turning the tide. ”

Speaking of this, he looked around at the two people around him, and then got the same answer from their faces: "...... He? ”

"Where is he now?"

"Didn't he attend the commentary yesterday? I guess I'm resting right now, right? ”

"No, he's wanted right now, and even if he's online, he's not in the city at all......"

"Have you already run away?"

"I don't know, but with our current situation, it seems a little difficult to find him......"

"Don't worry, he'll show up tonight."

The scar-faced man drew the attention of the two people again with one sentence: "I don't mean the free world, but on the field tonight."

“…… Narrator job? Broken Mountain asked.

"Don't think about the question of public opinion."

In the action of standing up, Broken Wind Thunder began to carry out the final assignment task: "We have seen a lot of those clowns who jump off the beam, as long as they play a good game, they will not be able to set off much wind and waves, you still have to take people to guard the city first, beware of the surprise attack of the empire, third brother ......"

He turned around and said, "This task is very heavy, so I'll leave it to you."

Duan Shanhe didn't speak, just nodded indifferently.

"The reaction of the principality is very important, and it is also a matter of great importance to us, the president and the parliament have not come up with a result so far, presumably the advance of the Empire has put too much pressure on them, we need this first-hand information to determine our future position and plans, so ......"

"Don't make us so passive anymore, understand?" He looked at the bearded man: "Go and find out all this news."

"I'll reach out to those councillors." Broken Mountain nodded solemnly: "There is also the Sword of Justice...... Since they had been prepared for a long time, and they were familiar with those nobles, they must have known something. ”

"It seems that the safety of the city can only depend on us at the moment." Broken Wind Thunder nodded in response, and then turned on to operate his game system: "Those brothers who secretly protect Pamir can't be withdrawn, and the manpower to search the underground black market will be increased, we can't waste the big gift that person gave us, about the guys who are secretly obstructing...... Be sure to find out before the war breaks out. ”

"What about you, big brother?"

"The game is about to start, and I have to get to the venue."

Bursts of fluorescence began to emit from Broken Wind Thunder's body: "Other things...... I'll figure it out. ”

"But ......"

"It's okay."

Before disappearing, a smile appeared on the man's scarred face: "It's been so many years......"

"My old face is nothing."

Syllable.

Gradually, the image faded away, and the roof of the game pod, which belonged to the real world, gradually appeared in front of a man who also had a scarred face. He shook his head, slowly opened the hatch, and then when the outside light shone on his head, he reached out and covered his face: "Alas......"

"It's come to this point...... Hum. ”

With a wry smile, the man sat on the edge of the cabin and was stunned for a while, and then sat back in the cabin, while brewing emotions, he opened his friend bar and began to communicate with him that he had not done for many years: "Isn't it?"

"Not there."

"I%@%#......"

A bunch of swear words came out of his mouth, and the man continued to reply with a smile: "I have something to ask you, about the city of Tania."

The chat window was silent in front of him for a moment, then suddenly shuddered.

[The other party has sent a voice communication request, do you accept it?] 】
