"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......"

After a period of silence, an embarrassing-sounding cough echoed over the arena: "You guy......"

"Alright, almost." Duan Qing's voice then sounded behind the dust that had not completely dispersed, and it sounded like it was next to the coughing sound: "Your performance has met the employer's wishes, even if it ends at this time...... The other party shouldn't blame you, right? ”

"Ahem...... I, I'm not convinced. The smoky dream whispered, "You beat me in such a humiliating way, you...... How did you just jump over? ”

"Put down your staff, that's the basics." Duan Qing's voice then replied, "Of course, if you can use that boulder to hit the speed of the railgun, then I really can't do it. ”

“…… Damn it. ”

The dust blown up by the storm finally gradually dispersed, revealing the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Shen Meng standing and lying down, among which the magician lying on the ground in the shape of a large character didn't seem to plan to stand up again: "Could it be that you deliberately used that small round shield before?" Grandpa, I actually fell for your ......"

"It's not as mysterious as you might think, but improvisation on the battlefield is very important." The short sword in his hand pointed at the opponent's chest, Duan Qing shook his head and replied, "You who will only release magic according to the established plan, most likely you won't understand how important this is, right?" Just like that situation just now, you had a chance to stop me in the air, but you didn't react at all......"

"Then, that's my mercy!" The black-robed magician lying on the ground raised his head by his neck, and then grinned for a while because of the fist marks on his face: "Do you think this is all my strength?" I'll definitely give you a good look next time! ”

"If you don't learn to master your own moves, it's useless to give you a few more chances, instead of continuing to think about your so-called big magic, you might as well practice the timing of the use of the Wind Blade and the Stone Wall." Duan Qing let out a few low chuckles, and then squatted in front of Falling Meng: "So now...... Can we share each other's information calmly? ”

“……”

"Hey, don't be so careful, okay? It's a big deal, and I'll pay you an epic staff......"

"Hey, just an epic weapon can impress me? Grandpa, I'm ......."

"Alright, stop."

As a certain stop sounded, Reiner, who was heavily armored, flashed in front of Duan Qing and the two again, and then interrupted the secret transaction that was about to start between the two by announcing the result of the duel: "The duel is over, the winner ...... Mo on the green hills. ”

He glanced at Dream's face, then turned to look in the direction where the silver fox was, "Your Excellency Phillips, what objections do you have?" ”

“…… No. ”

The action of playing with the dagger did not stop in the slightest, and Phillips still had an aristocratic smile on his face: "The game just now was exciting, wasn't it?" ”

“…… So, do you want to keep playing? Reiner was silent for a moment, then continued.

"No, no." Phillips bowed his head slightly: "My subordinates are playing well, the attitude of the silver fox to represent me is enough, and the next dispute ......"

"It's better to leave it to someone else."

The voices inside and outside the arena set off waves again with the words of the silver fox, as if he didn't expect that one of the owners of the twelve thrones would give up his face so easily, only those guys who were also on the throne and a few rare players could understand what the other party meant: "In that case, let's re-select the right challenger...... Lady Eduin, is it time for you to fulfill your promise? ”

“…… Hmph, your perfunctory will be a reason for failure. Then the shrill voice sounded loudly: "Easily let those adventurers go, and you will be the ones who will be bitten in the end!" ”

"That's not right, after all, we have already been members of two families on our side, whether it's a temptation or stepping on a trap...... We've done enough. ”

"So do you believe Tristan's, and think that he really wants to reclaim his throne? Just because he expected the current situation, and how many small adventurers under his hands? ”

“…… Hey. ”

Shaking his head and looking at the guys who were arguing again, Duan Qing, who returned to his seat, let out a disdainful sneer: "Why don't I like to listen to their words so much, what are just a few little adventurers......

"I know you're great, Adventurer and Envoy." The whisper on the side gently hammered Duan Qing's shoulder, and then slapped him on the back: "Do you really want them to send a person from the throne to be your opponent, so that you can show off the demeanor of the principality?" ”

"I'm not interested in asking for trouble, although I follow the rules of the free world...... If we trigger such an important plot, we will most likely encounter a lot of big trouble. Duan Qing replied helplessly: "We only have so many cards in our hands, and we can't withstand their tossing in turns, so for the sake of insurance...... Let's focus on our original purpose. ”

"To put it mildly, have you found the traitor?" The blue-haired woman glanced at the audience: "That Phillips doesn't look like ...... either"

"Are there any other changes around the scene?" Duan Qing pondered for a while, then asked in a low voice, "I noticed that many other players ran out before......

"Probably it was our previous fight that alerted them." Yu Liuyu replied casually: "They didn't really come to see the excitement, they must have arranged a large number of people outside before, and since they have seen a few wonderful 'performances', they will definitely make corresponding adjustments, right?" In comparison, we are the weakest force here, we have no subordinates to use, and we have been pushed to the forefront......"

"At least we have information that they don't have, otherwise we wouldn't have come to the gun." Duan Qing shook his head and said, "As for the subordinates...... Is there any news from Uncle Smiling? ”

“…… Yes. ”

As if remembering something important, the whisper pointed to the lost dream lying on the ground behind him, the latter nodded slightly, and then whispered in an injured voice: "Uncle Smile said...... Many unknown people have appeared outside the city, and they have begun to attack the Free City, and the station of the Stone Forest has also been affected to a certain extent......"

"What?" Duan Qing's eyes widened: "The restorer actually came this time?" ”

"People have said that they are unknown people, don't be in such a hurry to draw conclusions, okay?" Yu Liuyu said angrily: "And...... According to intelligence, someone has already taken the initiative to fight them outside the city. ”

“…… At this time, there are still people outside the city? So Duan Qing's voice quickly asked, "Could it be that someone already knew that someone would attack the city, so they gave up the opportunity to participate in this Throne War?" ”

"Time is so tight, where can I figure out so many things." exchanged a look with the Lost Dream again, and replied in the place of the other party: "Some of them also wanted to occupy the Friedham Stone Forest, but were later driven out by Uncle Smiling's side, since the strength of the players can defeat the opponent, it means that their strength should not be very strong, as for the defenders who appeared here...... I heard that it was not a member of the major gangs, but a group of bodyguards who suddenly appeared under the leadership of the owners of the major taverns. ”

"Tavernkeeper?" Duan Qing's eyes enlarged again: "What does this mean?" ”

"It's literal." "According to the Lost Dream, someone has recognized the identities of several of the leaders, and we know a few of them, such as the guy at the Rust Tavern......"

"Your Excellency, the Special Envoy."

Reiner's voice interrupted Duan Qing's conversation again, and at the same time drew their attention back from the battle situation outside the arena: "The challenger here has been decided, please take a look at Your Excellency." ”

“…… Uh, isn't that for Tristan to decide? Looking at the middle-aged man who was not far away with his hands behind his back and posing as if he didn't care about himself, Duan Qing replied with a dry smile: "You came to ask me...... Isn't it a good fit? ”

“…… It seems that you were too involved to notice anything else. Reiner pointed in the direction Duan Qing was looking, "Tristan has already left the decision to you, because you are the winner of the last duel and the master of this adventure group. ”

"Yes, yes? Aha......" Duan Qing scratched his head, and then tilted his head: "Since that's the case...... So who is the opponent this time? ”

"It's Lord Garo."

The air around him seemed to freeze for a moment with Reiner's voice, and then released again with his voice: "Of course...... His Excellency Garo himself did not seem to be willing to fight in person, so he selected a few trustworthy subordinates. ”

He turned sideways, letting go of the center of the arena that he was blocking a little, and then pointed to the two player figures who were already standing in the arena, and gestured to Duan Qing, his eyes narrowed slightly, Duan Qing then took two steps forward, and then rubbed his chin and put on a formulaic smile: "Yes...... Ladies and gentlemen of Devil's Paradise, you have come to this place as well? ”

"Hmph, I don't believe it...... You didn't notice our presence before. Mephisto, holding the scepter of adjudication, replied in a low voice, "It's like we noticed you early." ”

"Oh, sorry...... I really didn't see you. Duan Qing made a gesture of looking: "Maybe I should praise you for your ability to hide your head and show your tail, your concealment skills are very good." ”

“…… Needless to say, this is a pointless nonsense, we are here to settle accounts this time. ”

Swinging the scepter in his hand to the side, Mephisto let out a hoarse chuckle: "Defeat you on such a formal occasion...... There's nothing more exciting than such a way to get revenge, huh, hehehe......"

"Isn't it just a good thing for you? You don't have to hold such a grudge, do you? Duan Qing put on an innocent posture: "There is nothing in that conference room...... Why don't you believe it? ”

"It doesn't matter, wait for the tide to go out...... Naturally, we will verify this fact. Mephisto chuckled and replied, "It's the same with this event......

"Whatever your intentions, now we're going to ask you to leave."

He pointed at Duan Qing's nose: "Your status as an envoy, and there are rumors about your background...... will be our stepping stones. ”

“…… It's up to you? And this guy? ”

Looking at the black-robed mage who was inadvertently hunched over and the assassin standing beside him, Duan Qing showed a disdainful smile: "I have already learned your skills before, with all due respect...... Even if you were to face Stark together, it probably wouldn't last longer than the Lost Dream, right? ”

"Our combination may not be able to deal with the leader, but against a player like you...... Adventurers, it's more than enough. Mephisto's side replied disdainfully, "Of course, if you have forgotten the lesson you received underwater before...... We can also help you recall it for free now. ”

"Wait, this is a dueling arena, don't you want to go together?"

Receiving a positive response from Reiner behind him, Duan Qing pinched his throat and shouted, "This is not fair! ”

"Ha, it's your Tristan who said...... Any kind of dueling rules are acceptable. Mephisto laughed, "So even if it's five of us together, you can't object to it." ”

"Then, then we also ask to go together!" Duan Qing protested in the direction where the city lord was, "At least the number of people should be equal!" ”

"Think beautifully! This is the grave you dug yourself, and now you want to regret it? ”

"I'm also doing this for everyone's good, two to two is better than two to one, right? And there are only so many people on our side, if two people are defeated together...... Wouldn't it save you more time? ”

"Shut up, you don't want to bewitch the city lord!"

"It's you who should shut up, lackey!"

"What do you say! How dare you ......"

"This is a negotiation between me and the city lord, what is one of your subordinates yelling at next to me?"

“……”

As if he didn't expect Duan Qing to really use such a tone to teach himself the vice president of the Demon Paradise, and it seemed that he was really afraid of the identity of the other party, the two players from the Demon Paradise were temporarily dumbfounded, and turned everyone's attention back to the City Lord who had been silent for a long time above: "...... Galo. ”

"I have no opinion."

Facing that lofty gaze, the dark shadow in the corner then leaned over and replied, "Anyway, they were all forced into the dueling arena, what do they want to do...... Let them do what they do. ”

"In that case......

Then the city lord turned his head again: "Who do you want to play with, Your Excellency the Special Envoy?" ”

"Hmm......"

His eyes turned around on the side of the whispering streamer, and Duan Qing finally chose to ignore the eyes full of charm, and landed on the snow spirit phantom ice on the other side: "...... What do you think? ”

“…… I can't ask for it. ”

The woman who had put on her black cloak again hid her face under her hood and replied in a cold voice.
