"That's right! They are just treating us like monkeys!"
"To be precise, he is a spearman, although there is no difference between the two statements..."
"Are all NPCs in the free world so well-trained now? Do you really think we are embarrassed to attack them?"
"Kill them! Kill them! Isn't the prince so great? It's not just a matter of one blow!"
The ins and outs of this incident in Tanzania City were quickly revealed by an unknown player in the real world, and then quickly spread in the discussion among players. They were first surprised by this incident.
The collision and strife between the imperial power and the Council of Mages, and then began to be indignant at the role played by the players in this incident - regardless of the possible false commissions and false intelligence, just that group of people with
The fact that His Royal Highnesses secretly worked together to plot a plan is enough for this group of people to criticize. In their eyes, how could the "adventurers" who have been constantly obtaining resources from the game world condescend to be the victims of the indigenous people of the free world?
?
The suggestion to ask the three or two guilds involved to find an explanation from the prince of the empire gradually became popular, and finally, together with the official appearance of the Tanzania City Adventurers Association, it became a trend.
However, in the end, none of the three or two guild teams known as those involved wanted to come forward.
"What? We? We don't know anything."
In a certain street near the central square of Tanzania City, the figure of a fat man belonging to Xingluo Fries was stopped in the middle of the road by several players: "We just followed the imperial army and ran to the east gate to be the bodyguards of His Royal Highness.
Then we stayed near the temporary high platform, and our people did not leave until His Highness the Prince repelled the group of attackers and finally regrouped in the city."
"We don't even know the reason why all this happened. How do you ask us to tell His Highness the Prince?" He spread his innocent hands: "We can't let us say that the weather was bad that day, so you have to
Responsible for something like that, right?”
"What promise did His Royal Highness make to you?" One of the surrounding players hurriedly asked: "When you accepted the mission entrusted by the Adventurers Association, what was the final mission reward?"
"Do you think I will answer this kind of question?" Xingluo Fries looked at the man as if he were a fool: "This involves the confidentiality treaty of the Adventurers Association, not to mention that the client is a big shot like His Highness the Prince.
…”
"Even if I don't want those mission rewards, I don't dare to offend the empire's royal family easily."
The same rhetoric also appeared among the few members of the Beast Alliance who still stayed in Tanzania. However, they were obviously outsiders and were not treated as kindly as Star Luo Griffin.
As they transformed into the guests of His Royal Highness, no one dared to do anything to them at this time - relying on the glorious image finally established in the battle of Tanzania City, the reputation of His Highness Prince Chris suddenly
Having reached an unparalleled height in the city of Tanzania, even the city guards, who were not very sympathetic to the Imperial City Guards, were now hiding in the midst of the rising crowds of His Royal Highness, with the attitude of avoiding their peak for the time being.
.
What's more, those imperial nobles who had been imprisoned in the East City Gate and had just been released back to their homes.
"Damn Imperial Prince! How dare he deceive us!"
"I had long thought that he would use tricks to deal with our nobles, but I didn't expect that he would use such despicable means!"
"So the so-called welcoming of the noble group that day was all a cover for that Chris kid, right? They basically wanted to create the illusion of an attack to lock us in there, right?"
"But we have no evidence, so what's the use of talking so much? In the identity of the other party... even if the argument is put in front of the Lion Emperor, he will probably only favor his own son."
"Lord Luxor, do you have any good suggestions?"
The garden atrium located in the Lord's Palace of Tanzania City seems not to have been affected by the previous war, and still maintains the original beautiful and natural garden scene. However, the Lord of Romlia and Luxor Hangu, who are sitting here to discuss, have faces.
The expression on his face was not as relaxed as before: "Is there any way to reverse the situation at this time?"
"I and the adventurers under me can be considered losers in this battle."
Lowering his head slightly, Hank, known as Luxor, pinched his beard and replied: "Now the situation has completely turned to His Highness the Prince's side. It will take a lot of effort to resolve this situation.
Half a point is enough."
"……hateful."
Smashing his fist hard on the stone table in front of him, the Lord of Romlia's face gradually turned livid: "When His Royal Highness came to Tanzania City, I should have discovered his ambition! But!
I didn’t expect that not only would he take such big action, but he would also dare to attack the great magician of the Council of Mages!”
"The flaw in the Violet Tower is naturally their own fault." Lord Luxor's face seemed not as good as it used to be: "But His Royal Highness, who knew this secret early, finally revealed such a big trick.
This is something none of us expected."
"You mean..."
"Now it's best to be wise and protect yourself."
Looking at the old city lord opposite, Lord Luxor, who was wearing a suit, took a deep breath: "His Royal Highness is young and energetic and has been deeply influenced by the Lion Emperor for many years. He must want to take advantage of his appearance this time.
Since he has taken the first step to success in this city, he will not easily let go of the opportunities he has just created."
"In the next time, I'm afraid it's not just the Violet Tower that will be unlucky." He squeezed his fists: "The Third Garrison Army under General Steele, or the local aristocratic forces in our Tanzania City.
, it may even be you and me - we may both become each other's targets."
"...That Chris."
After murmuring these words, the city lord gritted his teeth bitterly: "Then what should we do?"
"Warn other nobles to be careful recently."
Picking up the glass of water in front of him, Lord Luxor said in a calm voice: "Those who have the evidence should seize the opportunity to cover it up. Those who have no evidence should take a few sleeps during this period. Don't talk casually, and don't go out to cause trouble."
"If this fails to send His Highness the Prince away, then we will have to divert the trouble away." His voice immediately became deeper: "The Imperial Army, the noble group that has not yet arrived, and even the adventurers can serve as
The object of blame."
"Adventurers?" The Romlia City Lord's voice became much brighter: "Can adventurers also be allowed? They are not -"
"I wouldn't have said this before what happened yesterday."
The corners of his mouth pulled upward slightly, and Luxor Hangu's smile became much weirder: "But now..."
"Everything becomes possible."
*****************************
"Haaah - boss, have another drink!"
"Is it still Ice Pulse Wine?"
"Of course, you should drink this kind of wine at this time! Hahahahaha!"
"The generous favor is two hundred gold coins, and the money and wine will be cleared. No credit will be given."
The clinking sound of wine glasses flashed forward along the old and greasy bar, and finally disappeared on the other side of the bar with the bright light left by the two platinum coins when they cut through the air, and a glass with ice cubes was placed on it.
Duan Qing, who slowly held up the blue wine glass, then laughed and waved his hand in the direction of Paul, and then turned his eyes back to the tavern regular next to him: "Am I right, Uncle Peter?
"
"That's right, that's right." The bearded middle-aged man known as Uncle Peter replied with a smile: "My recommendation is good, right?"
"This ice-colored wine, and this feeling that penetrates my heart... Phew!"
Duan Qing puffed out another mouthful of wine and drank a mouthful of ice wine. He pointed at his chest: "As a magician and alchemist, the most important state for people like us is to be calm.
What a calmness that can lift your spirits.”
"Sure enough, he is the mysterious adventurer in the rumors. His emotions are different from ordinary people." Peter smiled and patted the other party's shoulder: "I heard..."
"In yesterday's battle, you were the one who defeated the Lord of Violet, right?"
The hand slapping the opponent turned into a hand grasping the shoulder. Uncle Peter, who claimed to be a blacksmith, leaned forward and asked Duan Qing in a low tone.
But there was another look of confusion: "What the hell, how could such a ridiculous statement be spread?"
"Don't underestimate every tavern on the Free Continent. The information here has always been very well-informed." Sitting up straight again, Peter continued mysteriously: "No matter how much you hide it, the relationship between you and your companions
Sooner or later, Xiang Guanghui's deeds will spread."
"...Well, I'm just a temporary joiner in the fun." So Duan Qing could only show a bit of a wry smile: "The key is to rely on His Highness the Prince and his Royal Guards. Without the strength of that group of people, I am alone.
How is it possible to deal with an opponent at the level of a great magician..."
"So you admit it?" Peter's eyes rolled back and forth twice, and Peter's voice became deeper and deeper: "You are the last hero who saved this city?"
"No, no, no, don't say this now." Duan Qing hurriedly covered the other person's mouth, and then began to carefully look around here: "If His Highness the Prince hears it, I might
He will be as miserable as those adventurers."
"Don't worry, aren't those adventurers all cooperating with His Royal Highness in the show? Look at those people who were still alive and kicking in the end, not even a single hair was hurt!"
"That's just the surface you see. There are still a few people who were punished. They probably didn't know the details of the plan, so they really took action against His Royal Highness at that time..."
"What? There is such a thing?"
Like a drinker who was completely integrated into the atmosphere, Duan Qing, who was lying on the bar, then began to spread rumors. His thin words then echoed around the bar as the smell of alcohol gradually spread.
All around, there were inexplicable laughter between the two men from time to time: "So do you think that prince is really golden? He is actually..."
"I've heard about this. I heard that he went to the Pink Lady to spend the night when he first came here, but..."
"What? No one has been in? Could it be that..."
"Yes, that's right, so now there are many vendors squatting near the City Lord's Mansion, claiming that the potions they sell are the best in the continent... Oops!"
He received a heavy blow on the back of his head. One of the men who was whispering was suddenly pushed onto the bar in front of him by a hand. His forehead was in close contact with the bar for a moment, and then he let out a cry of pain in a very cooperative manner.
Huh, then he rubbed his head and got up: "Who - uh, yes, it's you."
"I've only been away for such a short time, and you're already so carefree?"
Standing behind the other party with her hands on her hips, the woman named Xue Ling Huan Bing then looked at Duan Qing's face with her eyebrows raised: "What were you talking about just now, huh?"
"Uh, that, that...ah ha ha ha ha!"
Duan Qing let out a few awkward laughs and looked at the people around him. He quickly took Xue Ling Huan Bing's hand and left the bar: "These are topics between men, not suitable for you to know.
"
"Huh, I don't want to know."
Xueling Huanbing let out a cold snort in annoyance, and then her eyes fell on the list of team members and the character status displayed above the avatar: "You...are you okay?"
"Aren't I pretty good? I just dropped two levels at most."
"Really, you didn't hide anything from me?"
"……certainly."
"You hesitated."
Hatefully, she pointed her jade-like finger on the other person's forehead. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was always a little uneasy in her heart, then warned Duan Qing: "I have told you everything about me. If you let me find out,
If you have anything else to hide from me, I will, I will... I will die to show it to you!"
"Okay, okay, I will definitely watch carefully when the time comes... Ouch!"
Duan Qing hurriedly resisted the opponent's palm that was waved down in anger, and Duan Qing put on a flattering look before his cheeks were about to suffer: "Stop making trouble, stop making trouble, I have been waiting here for nearly a day until you come online.
.”
"It's not like you insist on letting me rest for a while." Xue Ling Huan Bing's face turned slightly red as she put down her palm: "I didn't expect that I slept for so long..."
"As long as you recover mentally." Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "No matter how we compare, you will always be the higher-level one between the two of us."
“It’s meaningless to win without force.”
Giving the other party a roll of his eyes, Xue Ling Huan Bing then pulled down his own game menu: "Okay, now that you've had enough rest..."
"According to the previously agreed upon plan, we should go to that place next, right?" (To be continued)
