Just about half a year ago, Duan Qing once made a farewell to his past at the top of a certain tower, although that choice led to the disappearance of the Emerald Tower, but the final outcome can still be accepted by everyone. Today, the various characters and events that happened on the Free Continent have advanced to a height that even Duan Qing can't control, so when these haunting fates gradually converge on him, he suddenly found that it was difficult for him to turn around and leave with a perfect and graceful movement.

A thousand years ago, Frey could still use the identity of the emperor to create a new future, and he was once the same king...... There is no qualification to give up everything.

"I felt something strange about the city."

As the icy aura approached, Christine's voice then passed through the emerald green light flying in the sky: "It seems...... You've got another big hit. ”

"Calamity? I don't think so. Lowering his eyebrows and being silent for a moment, Duan Qing, who was still sitting in front of him, said without looking back: "The restricted Sky City energy should have returned to normal, otherwise...... You shouldn't be here so easily, right? ”

"Your methods are too crude, and a city that has been dormant for too long cannot withstand such a strong impact of magic." Christine replied in a low voice, "Although the protective mechanisms that belong here will soon return to normal, they will inevitably suffer irreversible damage......"

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can repair the Sky City itself, the slightest detail is not enough to worry about." Duan Qing waved his hand indifferently: "If something really goes wrong...... Aren't you experts still here? ”

“……”

Without continuing to develop the theory with Duan Qing, Christine took two steps forward with her staff in her hand: "I don't have time. ”

"Yes, I know." Duan Qing, who was looking at the sky, replied in a low voice, "What we lack most is time. ”

"That follower of yours...... It seems that the energy of the wind system is more in tune with her body. As if sensing the abnormality in the heart of the man in front of her, Christine, who shook her head, comforted the other party: "The operation of the magic array is also much better than when I forcibly activated it, it should be because the auxiliary devices in other regions have also been activated, and the protection ability of the entire city is gradually recovering, and the absence of strong winds is the best proof." ”

“……”

"Now that Aina's condition has gradually stabilized, then ...... It's my turn to ask you. ”

Walking to Duan Qing's side, Christine, who was originally looking in the same direction, slowly lowered her head: "How did you do it?" ”

“……”

"What you have in your hands...... It's dangerous, where did you get it? ”

“…… It's very sensitive. ”

Standing and sitting, the two of them looked at the back in front of them, and Duan raised the blood-red iron sword that was lying in front of his knees: "This is the sword of Emperor Frey, she stayed here." ”

“…… What the? ”

"Frey the Great should have broken through the defenses here a thousand years ago, with her own strength."

In the sound of gasping cold air beside him, Duan Qing turned his upward gaze to the sky directly in front of him: "She cracked the teleportation device of Sky City, killed most of the combatants in the control room in one fell swoop, and then went all the way up the central hall, and finally slaughtered all the clan patriarchs in the main hall. ”

"Maybe it's because the patriarch of the Oaklit clan has some powerful magic shield to protect her, and she simply destroyed the energy core in that hall." Speaking of this, he pointed to the hole he had just climbed up: "The protective shield that loses the energy source of the entire city will naturally lose its effect, and then ...... was cleanly beheaded by Frey. ”

“…… Did she use this weapon to destroy the power source of Sky City? The seriousness in Christine's eyes became more and more intense: "The energy core of the entire Sky City? ”

"You shouldn't ask me that kind of question." Duan Qing looked up at the sea of clouds in front of him that were dyed golden by the sun: "You are the master of magic, are you the energy core of the whole city...... It should be up to you to judge. ”

“…… I'm not referring to the energy core, I'm referring to the sword. ”

Stretching out a left hand like ice jade in front of Duan Qing, Christine snorted, "Bring it." ”

“…… This sword has a strong demon-destroying effect attached to it. ”

The upside-down right arm lifted the end belonging to the hilt of the sword to the other party's plump chest, and Duan Qing explained in a low voice: "It should be that Frey deliberately designed it like this in order to defeat the Magic Empire, but unfortunately, because it is stained with too much blood, its strength has changed. ”

“…… I felt the power of death. Frowning tightly, Christine, who didn't take the sword, stared at the Dao blood light that appeared on the surface of the long sword in front of her: "Yes...... Did she stay in that hall? ”

"I don't know much about the history of the Old Magic Empire during that time, and I don't know if this place was her last stop before she founded the Frey Empire." Duan Qing, who had withdrawn his sword blade, turned his gaze to the front of the city again: "But judging from the state of such good preservation of this place...... She must have gotten past all the defenses and killed everyone in the Oclets. ”

"With this sword of hers, and this mysterious history." He sighed, and his gaze gradually converged on the long sword in front of his knee: "The city in the sky, which lost its power, then plunged into darkness and the void, and then disappeared in front of us, and Frey, who destroyed all the archmages, then established her empire, and this lost city ended up unattended......"

"According to the mural depicted in the Falling Star Mountain, the final development is like this." He turned his head to look at Christine's face between the long blue hair beside him, "Right?" ”

"The mural...... It is not supposed to refer to these things. Christine, looking at the sky, then shook her head: "It should be referring to something else, but ......"

"Well, it looks like it's been another difficult time to verify."

Looking at the other party's pursed lips and thoughtful expression, Duan Qing finally pulled his attention back to his front: "Anyway...... Even for the sake of Ayina and the people who are still alive, the city shouldn't fall again, right? ”

"From the perspective of now, the city is worth a lot." Christine nodded in agreement, "I'll set up a security beacon as soon as possible and notify the other members of the Mage Council to come and help control the city's defenses, that's the only ......"

"We have a chance to block the next attack of the Restorationists, and the covetousness of the black hand behind it."

She raised her staff and pointed in the direction of the pitch-black cloud in front of the city, and the black hole in the center of the clouds, which was still pierced by black light, also grew a little larger over time, faintly revealing some kind of tower-like phantom. His eyes stayed quietly on the phantom for a long time, Duan Qing's gaze gradually became cold, and while rubbing the surface of the blood-colored sword in his hand, he sighed in a low voice: "And Maggie, and ......"

She ...... Is there any salvation? ”

Under the sky several kilometers high, the snow spirit ice that had been waiting in front of the black pillar of light in the center of Zaraha City put away the black aura that flashed on his silver mask, and then under the repeated reminders of the members of the Freedom Wings beside him, the white light that turned into a line gradually disappeared in place. A certain man who had been secretly observing this scene then showed a smug smile, and then also got off the line in the light of the war flying in the sky, and when he walked out of the game pod, he first dialed a number with his communication ball, and then greeted the woman who had just walked out of the game pod next to him with a gentle smile.

“…… There is also salvation. ”

In the Dajiang villa area, dozens of kilometers away from Tianxiang Company, a black-clothed man who was in charge of guarding there put down the communication ball in his hand, and then pushed open the door of the room behind him after a period of time with his subordinates. A girl who had been lying behind the door then retreated to the center of the room with a frightened countenance, but when she tried to defend herself, she was softened by the fierce smile of the big man in black, and he glanced slightly at the noise that was rising in the distance outside the window, and then turned and motioned for the girl to follow him out of the place.

"You are a child of fate, and there is nothing you can't save."

Zaraha City, under the still chaotic streets and alleys, the brilliance of magic also broke through the shackles of geography at this time, and slowly burned into the range of the underground pipe network, and the figures belonging to the Flame Legend and his team then appeared in the depths of these underground passages, and the members of the Vizad who explored here gradually strangled together, and the Yangtze River No. 7, which ran back here with several Templar players, and then said a few words to his teammates, Then, with a renewed smile and a friendly greeting, he slowly approached behind the team.

"You've saved so many lives, including a few Destiny Weavers, who are already doomed, this time...... There will definitely be some way for you to break through the shackles of fate this time. ”

In the Tower of Tyranny, deep in the endless dark space, the figures of several black-clothed secret mages who were gathered together and constantly casting spells were then displayed in front of the eyes of many black-clothed followers, and they chanted unknown secret texts loudly, guiding a hexagonal magic array in front of them to become brighter and brighter. An old man in a gold-inlaid robe standing on a high platform on crutches then let out a deafening smug laugh, and his old and cloudy eyes also looked straight at the energy circulation that was constantly filling the void above the tower, and another middle-aged man who had been following him lowered his head slightly when he heard the sound, and then turned to look at a black-clothed magician who had just approached: "...... What do you think? ”

"The pieces are all ready, it's time to get ready for the final show."

"The magic array on Hulan Mountain has also been prepared, Freya can't stop anything at all, you just need to take advantage of the advantages here, in case that hidden Marloch suddenly participates in this chess game......"

"Of course we'll be aware of this, we've been paying attention to him for a long time, Ivorst and his friends have been secretly tracking him until now, and he is currently locked between the eighty-ninth and ninety-second floors......"

"Very well, when the passage opens, we'll get moving."

“…… Don't think about the existence of that guy? He is likely to be the biggest variable in our operation. ”

"Of course I have taken it into account, and our adventurers have also made arrangements, and they have promised...... When that happens, they'll have a way to contain that person. ”

"Everybody is on track, even if it's beyond what we expected...... Nor will we be able to exceed our prophecies. ”

"Everything...... You're in control. ”

As he said this, he looked at the center of the pillar of light surrounded by many magicians not far away, and the energy that swirled upwards continued to disappear into the invisible void beyond sight under the invisible constraints of this circular tower, accompanied by the postures of countless black-clothed magicians who were ready to move in the circular corridor of each of the surrounding towers. Also ready to move are the other foreign forces that have been surrounding the city of Zaraha, as well as the players who are coming from the principality and the empire with their respective forces, and the number of them has become more and more They look at the sky city that is gradually becoming as bright as the sun and the black hole that appears next to the city, and the original hesitation and wait-and-see thoughts began to waver: "Almost......"

"Shall we rush in?"

Looking at the hot city battlefield, the broken mountains gathered in the corner of Zaraha City retracted their gaze looking up at the sky: "If it drags on any longer, there will only be more and more people." ”

"Offline."

Standing in place and silent for a long time, Broken Wind Thunder, who also rushed to the same place, spit out two words that surprised everyone: "We go offline." ”

"Hey, don't you care about such a big city in the air?" So Broken Mountain pulled up his beard: "Even if it means something, it's good to declare our sovereignty." ”

"Ever since we kicked the Wings of Liberty out of Tania, nothing good has happened to us." Breaking Wind Thunder, who was holding his arms, shook his head and replied, "I recalled it, and then summed up a pattern. ”

"People who get involved in these big events too early often don't get the best fruits." He smiled at his brother, "Whether it's the Emerald Tower at the beginning or the Battle of Tania later...... And so it turned out. ”

"So...... You're going to put it first this time? ”

"I know that for Jianghu, this kind of letting go is a sign of cowardice."

Turning back to the gaze of a group of guild members behind him, Broken Wind Thunder raised his hand and pointed at the top of their heads: "But we're not on the cusp of the storm right now, they are." ”

"Let them fight first." His figure gradually faded into obscurity: "Before the final situation becomes clear......"

"I'd better use the offline qualifiers first to have a little entertainment."
