"Free City Section...... Liberty City Section...... Got it. ”

“…… Being a librarian seems like a tiring job. ”

"There is no such work, because all the books in this place are thrown in randomly."

"Throw it in, throw it in?"

In the other-dimensional space, which was so quiet that there was no sound at all, the voices of Duan Qing and Shanaiduo slowly came from the conversation, just like two spectators standing at the entrance of a huge cinema in the dark: "So many bookshelves...... Did you throw it all in? ”

"At first I was with other ...... The librarian had done a good job of sorting out the books here, but then no one cared about them. Stretching out her hand and pointing in a certain direction in the dark void, the woman covered in black gauze replied with a slight loss, "I want to come now...... It seems like a long time has passed. ”

"That'...... Those bookshelves floating on top ......"

"Those are the books that came in later."

Looking at the scattered bookshelves floating in the dark depths that Duan Qing pointed to, Shanaiduo shook his head slightly: "It's all about some biographies about modern times and books written by inconsequential people, there's nothing to sort out......"

So how the hell did you throw the book in! And what exactly is the standard of your collection......

Shouting such words in his heart, Duan Qing wiped the cold sweat on his head, and the question he wanted to continue to ask became speechless and stopped as the next scene appeared-in front of Shanaiduo, who had been raising her hand, a silent giant shadow was flying in the air in the direction where she was, and then turned into a huge bookshelf and fell heavily in front of the two people: "Wow! This, this is ......"

"About the history of the Free City."

Answering Duan Qing's question lightly, the arm covered by the sleeves of Shanaiduo's robe also fell, and then in a silent fluctuation, he once again took down an old book on it like a telekinesis: "Although it was written by different people, it is basically related to the past of the Free City, and everything I said to you before can also be found here......

"Well, I didn't mean to question you." Duan Qing hurriedly waved his hand: "So...... Has anyone written about the three secrets I mentioned earlier? ”

"There are far fewer secrets in the past than three in the City of Freedom, and they may continue to appear in the future." Shanaido shook her head, and the pages in her hand began to flip quickly with her movements, "Although few people ask me such questions, it is very easy to answer them...... Well, here it is. ”

"Successive city lords...... Family history? ”

Looking at the words recorded on the pages of the book floating in front of him, Duan Qing couldn't help but read out: "There is still such a record? ”

"The power of the good deeds is very powerful, much like the spirit of your adventurers." Shanaiduo's hands were retracted into the sleeves of his black robe: "For the sake of being a member of the Mage Council, I will show you the inheritance of this good deed first." ”

“…… Heritage? ”

"The history of the Free City is, of course, recorded by the people of the Free City."

Looking up at the dark void nearby, Shanaiduo sighed deeply: "Some of them later became powerful people in the city, and some were poor people in the slums, but no matter what their status, they all ended up badly. ”

"For the sake of these things in your hands, they can be regarded as doing their best." Shanaiduo concluded lightly: "After all, the preservation of these deeds ...... It's not just a little bit of guts. ”

“…… Thank you. ”

Leaving these two words wordlessly, Duan Qing held the book and slowly flipped through it, and then after a period of flow, he raised his head again: "Starim's family...... Kirk House ...... Vandal House ...... Strange, is this man named Rukla all he has to say? ”

"What, these things aren't enough?" Shanaiduo's eyebrows curled slightly, as if he was smiling himself: "Rukla is a member of the previous generation of mage councils, and he has put together the legacy of these families to find out everything about the city lord...... You won't find a more comprehensive account of him anywhere else in the Free Continent. ”

"But what I want is ...... now"

Stretching out his hand and waving it in the air for a moment, Duan Qing's gaze fell on the back end of the page, and then under Shanaiduo's gaze, he read out again: "...... With the fall of Shras Kirk, the Vandal family wiped out their enemies and was elected as the new lord of the city after a crowd of supporters, who later ...... Without? ”

"Nope."

That is to say...... This family called Van Gaal has ruled the Free City to this day? ”

"The lord of the city of Liberty today is indeed called Van Gaal, the patriarch of the Van Gaal clan, the leader of the members of the Twelve Thrones, and the ...... The head of the Shadow Society. ”

Blinking his eyes full of mockery, Shanaiduo said something that surprised Duan Qing: "Maybe for you adventurers, the 'identity of the city lord' is a very difficult thing to verify, but for us throne holders...... The name of the lord of the castle is a well-known thing, because we always rule the city of freedom, we always struggle for every inch of the city of freedom, we always serve the lord, and we always ...... Keep an eye on the castle lord's position. In the eyes of you outsiders, the city lord of Liberty City may be a very glorious identity, but for those of us, he is no different from other ordinary gang leaders, as long as there are more people who support him, he will naturally be the lord of Liberty City, once he loses the support of most of the people...... Each one of us has the potential to overthrow his throne with our own hands. ”

"That's what a candidate for the throne really means." She stretched out her hand and took the book back from Duan Qing's hand: "I hope you can understand this." ”

"The position of the castle lord has been passed down from generation to generation...... I always thought that was the case. Duan Qing sighed and said, "The result ...... All robbed? ”

"It's not out of the question of a peaceful handover, but I'm sure you're not interested in it right now." Shanaiduo smiled again: "The important thing is ...... Oxon made a point of emphasizing this to you, what is it for? ”

"What he wants to know is not the identity of the city lord...... Because he should know the identity of the city lord. Duan Qing replied with a deep groan: "He just hopes that I can really meet the City Lord, and then ...... Usurper for power? ”

"Seizure of power and usurpation of power...... Hehe, that's a good description. ”

Nodding Duan Qing's forehead slightly, the woman who let out a pleasant laugh slowly turned around: "Since Van Gaal came to power, the patriarch of the Van Gaal family has become more and more in-depth, and the city lords of this generation are especially careful, except for the city lord meeting...... Usually even his voice is hard to hear. As a member of the restoration, Oxen must like this state of life of the other party very much, right? As long as they can find an opportunity to replace the lord of the castle, the restorer will be able to gain control of the city without much effort. ”

"Copy what they once wanted to do in Tania...... Duan Qing's eyes sank: "Could it be that these restorationists are thinking about these conspiracies all day long?" ”

"Even if it's a conspiracy, it's now a real conspiracy." Shanaiduo turned his back and shook his head: "The rise of the Restorationist is a signal, it has exerted a lot of pressure on all the forces on the continent at the same time, the entire territory of Xifeng County has fallen into incomparable chaos, and the adjacent Eta County ...... At this point, it seems that he is starting to take care of himself. The principality that has not recovered from the great war will inevitably have no time to deal with these temporary chaos, and the empire that is farther away will naturally have no way to deal with this, and the free city is close at hand...... Nature became the hope of all. ”

"The Duchy and the Empire have reached an agreement to jointly deal with the crisis in Xifeng County." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "Although the cooperation between the two countries will definitely not be maintained very well, it will at least play some role, right?" ”

"The 'Tower Downfall' is just a small slate for the Restorationists to rebuild the Magic Empire, and you need to understand that first." Shanaiduo replied lightly: "Since they have chosen to put the conflict on the table officially, they are naturally fully prepared to meet all kinds of challenges, and since the fall of Xifeng County is about to become a fact, the adjacent Free City will of course become one of their next targets." In my guess...... Oxen's series of plans in Liberty City may be just one part of the overall restoration operation, and even if they can't control Liberty City, they can be sure...... Eradicate this potential threat once and for all. ”

"Eradication?" Duan Qing let out a sneer: "How is it possible? Twelve thrones, so many gang leaders, and a lot of ...... to play Adventurers, how could they have been eradicated? ”

"So Oxon needs some skill...... and support. ”

The sound of Shanaiduo's slow pacing was heard in the quiet library, and then stopped again as she turned: "The throne is currently divided, and the two sides are evenly matched, and the power of the city lord is in the middle, hoping to continue to consolidate his position as the leader by means of reconciliation. This kind of imperial thinking is very masterful, but it also puts itself in a certain precarious situation, because for either side...... As long as there is absolute power to overthrow the rule of the other side, the fragile balance that remains on the surface can be easily upset. ”

"At that time, all the forces in the Free City will be reshuffled." Shanaiduo stared at Duan Qing's face: "City Lord...... He will no longer be the lord of the city. ”

"But...... This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Oakson's commission? ”

"You're the right fit."

Shanaiduo pointed at Duan Qing and said: "You have great strength, you have the identity of the envoy of the principality, you have a superb status in the camp of adventurers, and you also have the power to change your fate, let you find out the identity of the city lord, in fact, it is for you to create the time for the city lord to appear, with Oakson's hand, when the time comes...... Anyone who is dissatisfied with the rule of the lord of the castle will probably react to the center of this vortex. ”

"Whether it is the parties or collaborators, they are all living for their own interests, and only those who can really unite these interests...... in order to become the real city lord. The woman sighed slightly: "Now...... It's already that time. ”

"The current lord of the city...... It's already so unsustainable, huh? Duan Qing muttered, "But during the Throne War before...... I looked at the leaders of the throne as if they were listening to the lord of the city. ”

"What you're seeing is just scratching the surface, and it's not an official War on the Throne." Shanaiduo replied lightly, "The real War of the Thrones...... Ten days later, you'll be lucky enough to see it. ”

"What, what?"

"The Tarsingh family and the Longord family have officially proposed a new throne war to the city lord, and the time is ...... Just ten days later. ”

Shanaiduo nodded towards Duan Qing: "At that time, countless kings and gang leaders will witness that war, and then use the results of this time to decide the names of the owners of the two thrones that have just been vacated." ”

"The Rondaul family...... Is it the same Longauer who came back to the Free City with us? ”

"He and Tristan were originally members of the throne holders, but later because of the decision of the city lord...... Their throne was abolished. ”

Shanaido raised his black robes: "The battle that followed in the night was actually the battle for the throne launched by the Tarsingh family, who had always been at odds with Longor, and the ceremony ten days later...... In fact, it is just a formal continuation of the previous battle. ”

"I see, ......" Duan Qing nodded slowly: "Will the city lord also participate?" ”

"Of course, because that's the city lord's choice."

Speaking of this, Shanaiduo let out a magnetic chuckle, as if he had become an artist about to create his own new masterpiece: "The choice of the city lord, the choice of Tarsingh, the choice of Longor, the choice of Oxen...... A myriad of choices will converge on that day, gradually forming a torrent of fate, which will stir everyone together, decompose, react, and then integrate, as if making a bottle of alchemical elixir...... Turning into an old history and a new future. Everyone involved cannot escape such a fate, because everyone will move forward for their choice, and some people may try to repent, try to change, try to manipulate, try to control everything, but in the end...... It's all just a futile attempt to become a part of fate. ”

"An adventurer who is a child of destiny." Her eyes fell on Duan Qing's body: "What choice will you make?" ”

“…… Ten days left, huh? Duan Qing touched his nose: "We still have a lot of time, we can make a lot of preparations." ”

“…… I admire you, Mo Shang Qingshan. ”

Reading each other's names for the first time since they met, Shanaiduo slowly stretched out his other hand, returning the old book to the shelf, and pulling out another book in the air: "I hope it will ...... in ten days"

"You're still standing in front of me unharmed."
