"Are you sure this is the place?"
"How do I know? I'm not myself."
"If he is a trustworthy companion, then he should have revealed all his plans long ago..."
"Are you trying to drive a wedge between us? I'm sorry, I might disappoint you."
The time came on the night of February 3rd, 796th year of the New Calendar. Two figures, submerged in the darkness, slowly appeared on the corner of a street near the southern part of the center of Tanzania City, and distanced themselves from each other.
They stood still and were alert to the surrounding movements like adventurers in the past. At the same time, they questioned the other person in a distrustful tone: "Although I don't know why he agreed to you and brought you here.
But in my eyes, you are still just an uninvited guest."
"I'm sorry for causing you misunderstanding. Maybe it's just an occupational disease."
Slightly shrugging his shoulders, the middle-aged man with his back pressed against the wall of the street gestured to him: "But you don't have to worry so much, after all, Mr. Linyuan Duanshui is also the same in my eyes."
He is a person who does not need to be warned, otherwise, I would not have followed him so easily."
"So, you are the most vulnerable among us?" Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was still staring at the side of the street, sneered twice: "Stop joking."
"Don't be so nervous, I'm just an ordinary imperial noble now." Tristan's laughter then came from the other end of the darkness: "Your companion must have also seen how harmless I am, so
You just nodded so easily and agreed to my rude request... hmm."
"The motto of the Free City once said: Don't always warn in the same direction."
A pair of bright eyes gradually appeared in the darkness, following Tristan's words and turning to the roof of the street where they were: "But I really didn't expect that you would come back so quickly."
"Hey."
The sound of jumping through the air then appeared in the night sky where the white-haired woman in front suddenly looked back, accompanied by the figure of a certain gray-robed magician who had just jumped into the darkness from the top of the alley: "
I didn’t expect those royal guards to be so difficult to get rid of, causing me to use two bottles of phantom potion and a bottle of smoke bombs..."
"Duan, you are back."
The subconscious shout was replaced by a suppressed voice. The voice belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing then came to this side of the alley together with her running footsteps: "Did you get rid of those enemies?"
"Don't call us enemies. After all, we have no intention of going against those royal guards." Duan Qing, who was patting his magic robe and looking distressed just now, then showed a comforting smile: "But no.
Before drawing any conclusions, it would be better for us not to let them easily get involved in our current actions."
"According to my guess, your actions and intentions should not be within the scope of the prince's current consideration." Tristan, who also came over, smiled and agreed: "Those who want to investigate you probably discovered your strange whereabouts.
, just those members of the Royal Guards who gave up halfway in the end."
"Royal Guards... bang." After taking a bottle of homemade stamina potion, Duan Qing then slightly suppressed his gasping voice: "With our current strength, it is better not to have any conflicts.
...Don’t leave in a hurry yet, drink these things.”
He stopped Xueling Huanbing, who was about to leave here first to explore the way forward, and then reached out and stuffed two bottles of dark-colored potion into her and Tristan's arms: "Although we avoided the tracking of the royal guards,
But the magic surveillance of those royal magicians is still very powerful. If you want to avoid being exposed by their magic induction, it is best to drink this bottle of potion first."
"Is this... still the magic suppressing potion?"
"Of course not. It's enough that it happens once."
Duan Qing raised his head and poured his own bottle into his mouth. Duan Qing, who wiped his mouth, then pointed to a faint film that gradually appeared on the surface of his body: "This is a newly developed potion by me. Its name is
For a.t.field-type Alpha type, don’t look at me like that, it’s just a bottle of magic isolation potion.”
"You can actually apply magic to suppress magic on the protective shield... You are truly a magician and alchemist." Looking at the luminous film emerging from his body, Tristan's voice was full of admiration.
: "Of course, it would be great if the magical light emanating from it could be concealed."
"Hey, hey, don't deny the fruits of my labor so easily." Duan Qing curled his lips as he walked forward: "It's already amazing to be able to do this, okay? If you want to hide your whereabouts completely
, you can prepare another bottle of illusion potion or folding shadow potion..."
"Forget it, I don't want to be a medicine pot." The middle-aged nobleman waved his hand and then followed Duan Qing's footsteps: "Where should we go next?"
"No need to ask, of course, I forgot." After subconsciously saying this, Duan Qing turned his eyes to the two figures behind him: "Just like when we first started, you have just
As for people who came to this city, they don’t know much about the city’s map and many landmark buildings…”
"Please allow me to introduce you to the tower on our right. It is the famous Violet Tower in Tanzania." He raised one of his arms and pointed at the tower that was vaguely reflected in the sky in the dark night.
Pointing to the outline of the tower: "It was originally the residence of the representatives of the Mages Council and the Lord of Violet. Now... it is probably about to be occupied by the imperial army and adventurers."
"You, you hid that woman in the tower?" Then the surprised voice of Xue Ling Huan Bing sounded in his ears: "How is this possible? There now"
"I know, I know, it's probably not the most dangerous place or the safest place." Duan Qing interrupted the other party's words, and then blinked his eyes at Xueling Huanbing behind him: "But I
There are not many safe areas in Tanzania that we know of, and that was the only resettlement site I could choose at that time."
"You're not going to put it on the top of the tower, are you?" So Xueling Huanbing, who followed him, raised his head and looked at the top of the dark tower: "We don't have teleportation, do we have to rely on the mixed team?
Do you want to climb it again?"
"Forget it, those adventurers will only attack from the front. They never consider the reputation of the Violet Tower and the usefulness of the information." The figure gradually disappeared into the alley on the other side of the tower and walked
Duan Qing, who was in front, gestured towards the faintly flashing star lights over there: "And I, a great alchemist and negotiator..."
"It's easy to dig out hidden passages."
*************************************
The so-called hidden passage Duan Qingkou mentioned was actually the small positioning magic circle that was passed down when they first visited the Violet Tower. However, in the previous design of the Violet Tower, the magic circle was just the Violet Tower.
It is just a one-way teleportation array that is mainly used to leave quickly. The remaining violet magicians staying in the Violet Tower have some means to transform it into a two-way teleportation array. However, the large amount of magic materials required to transform the magic array are at this time.
There was an insurmountable gap in front of them, but in the eyes of an alchemist who could produce precious materials anytime and anywhere, a gap of this magnitude did not seem to be insurmountable.
With his selfless help, which "did not feel any pain at all", the reverse teleportation array located deep in the courtyard of the Violet Tower was successfully established.
“What a glorious room.”
With an involuntary sigh in his mouth, Tristan walked into the darkness of the spherical hall and looked up at the magic lights that were still running automatically and the puppet devices that shuttled between the halls: "And it looks magical."
"Such words shouldn't come out of your mouth. After all, we adventurers haven't said anything yet." Duan Qing, who also walked out of the central magic circle, looked around: "And this place looks better than when we just came.
There is no big difference between time and again, not even much dust has accumulated..."
"It should be because these demons are always working on their own."
He said these words in a low voice, and the last one, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who reflected his body in the darkness, still maintained his usual vigilance: "Although since the great magician was caught and tried, there have been
It took about three full days."
"Today is three days later." Duan Qing let out a sigh: "In these three days, the Violet Tower has declined at a speed visible to the naked eye. The magician members are running away, and
This room that once held the master of the great magician has probably been left unattended."
"Until just now."
He turned around and his eyes fell on a corner inside the spherical hall. A female silhouette with her back pressed against the wall and curled up on the ground was faintly swaying in that corner.
The changing gaps between the constantly cruising demons loomed. The footsteps slowly approached in that direction, and the figures belonging to the three people belonging to Duan Qing then slowly spread the long purple hair of the figure.
It came into their sight, but before they could fully confirm the identity of Violet, the suspected Lord of Violet, the humanoid golems sliding around the hall with various structures suddenly stopped.
They noticed their respective movements: "...what happened to them?"
"It seems like it's bad to form a defensive front. Is this one of the settings that they have been lingering here?"
"The autonomous action figures should have been designed to resist enemies. After all, no matter how you think about it, the current situation is too suspicious... They are coming! Be careful!"
"As a helpless nobleman, I can only announce here that I will leave the battle to you."
The sound of ping-ping-pong-pong then sounded around Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing, and along with the phantoms surrounding the hall from all directions, it turned into the sound of swords and weapons clashing with each other.
, the messy alchemy tables and magic tables and chairs placed in the spherical hall did not seem to have the slightest impact on the operation of these puppets. Instead, they gradually emitted magical lights of varying sizes under their rapid operation.
Looking at those colorful rays of light, the eyes became more and more serious. Duan Qing, who was leaning against the white-haired woman, finally slowly stopped his action of taking out the magic potion. He raised his magic
The staff barely resisted the whistling arms swung down by the demon dolls, and at the same time looked at the last trace of the middle-aged nobleman's back who had slipped away to an unknown place: "Combined power source array... Hey, I thought I was using it.
The ultimate method of jumping through levels will be fine."
"Didn't you get the backdoor from Violet? Didn't you get the means to control these monsters?"
"The teleportation array was set up by the Violet Magician, and it is not part of the memory I got when I was possessed. Moreover, it was a movie about a hundred years of life that I watched in just a few minutes. How could I remember it?
All the content!”
"Then can't you choose another place to store her? You have to store her in her lair!"
The endless sound of metal clashing became more and more intense as the magical light became stronger, and the sword shadows from the snow spirit and phantom ice also became more and more urgent with her words, gradually becoming the main force of physical defense.
Then she had no choice but to pull Duan Qing's body and start to slowly retreat back, trying to pull the position to a safe area further away from the encirclement point: "Is the great magician still alive?"
"It should be alive, but it's hard to say whether it's conscious or not... Anyway, we'll zoom out a little further and see if we can get out of the hatred range of these dolls."
"Fortunately, Sherman is dead and there is no other entrance to this place, otherwise, if someone else breaks in at this time,"
"Shut up! Don't say such self-inflicted words!"
A dangerous light flashed out of the corner of his eyes for a moment. Duan Qing, who had been protected by Xue Ling Huan Bing, suddenly raised his head and turned to the other side of the spherical hall: "Who is it?"
Ice blue cold air suddenly emerged from the direction Duan Qing warned, sweeping around the entire hall like a cold wave in the cold winter. The concentrated freezing air then spread over the demon puppets at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A thick layer of frost formed on his body, freezing all the figures moving at high speed, including Duan Qing, in place: "...with good sensing ability, he can actually detect my existence."
"So it's you." Looking at the dark blue figure slowly emerging above the hall, Duan Qing, who had a thick layer of frost on his eyebrows, replied in a trembling voice: "Long time no see... Uh no, it's
I have long admired your name, Your Excellency the Great Magician Christine."
"I have been observing this area, and I didn't want to intervene in this matter."
The figure floating in the air slowly approached, and the blue figure that appeared in front of Duan Qing gradually became clear: "But since you have a way to block magical observation, then I will treat myself as a spectator.
The time should also be over.”
"Mr. Tristan, there is also Linyuan Shuishui."
Just as they had just arrived at this place, the figure of Sheng Ran, who belonged to the great magician, floated in front of Duan Qing again: "As for the causes and consequences of your visit here tonight..."
"Can you explain it a little more fully?"
