The Restorationist Threat.
Even after such a long time, this threat from the resentful souls from thousands of years ago is still the most troublesome existence for Duan Qing and others. Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who have experienced so many events, have no feelings for those enemies in their hearts.
The threats it poses are already a hundred times clearer than others. Although there is no conclusive evidence, the hidden black hands who directed this drama are very likely to come from the restorers who represent the Magic Empire.
What's more, many players, including Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing, had also seen Luo Tu and Hong Shan Lao Dao take action in the corner of the city during that battle.
But even now, Duan Qing and others have not figured out what the ultimate purpose of the restorationists is to spend so much time lurking here.
"Just to cooperate with Violet's actions?"
"It's not necessarily clear whether Violet has sincerely cooperated with the other party. Sherman's diary has proven this."
After walking into the Adventurer Association hall, Duan Qing, who followed Da Liu to the side of the counter, communicated with Xue Ling Huan Bing in a low voice: "In comparison, I believe more that the restorers are plotting against Wei.
Erlite’s statement.”
"Or is it for that disk? Don't forget whose hands we got it back from."
"If the value of that disc is really as high as that group of people showed in their struggle to snatch it, then the restorers might also go for it."
Duan Qing, who waved at the other party and signaled Xue Ling Huan Bing to stay where he was, then walked towards the front of the counter in a low voice: "But don't forget there is another person."
"That's Maggie."
"...Yes, there is also the woman who was once used as a sacrifice."
"No one knows the safety and location of that woman. If the restorers came here for her, they might have left the city with them now... Wait for me."
He wrapped himself in a gray magic robe and pretended to be an ordinary person as if nothing had happened and squeezed into the queue going to the counter to receive the task. Then, after a period of noise and sudden noise, he was dismissed like a country dog.
A task manager who looked like an uncle rushed out: "The VIP room is above! There are no tasks for you here!"
"But our adventure group has only reached D level. Aren't all D level tasks available here?"
"You're so big, you have too many problems! If you don't want to be beaten, just go and discuss it with the president yourself! Did you hear that? Get out of here! I'm very busy now, and I don't have time to serve you little bastards..."
"Alright alright."
Pushing his hands to push away the loud warning that was still ringing in his ears, Duan Qing got up from the ground and turned around to face Xue Ling Huan Bing's smiling eyes, and then ignored the sidelong glances of the surrounding players.
While looking at him, he led the white-haired woman towards the second floor: "Forget it, I have read all the tasks there anyway."
"So what exactly are you going to do?"
"Of course I'm asking for news."
Taking the other party's arm and walking up to the second floor, Duan Qing said half-jokingly: "Aside from the ordinary tasks in the city, there are not many valuable tasks that our D-level adventure group can receive... Hey,
It gives us another reason to leave here as soon as possible."
"I don't have any objections, but..."
With his eyes involuntarily circling around every corner behind the fence on the second floor, Xue Ling Huan Bing sighed with regret: "Do we really have to give up everything here? It always feels like a pity."
"Are you reluctant to let go of the players in this place, or are you reluctant to let go of this Adventurer Association?" Duan Qing smiled and pushed away their own Qingling Adventure Group's room: "A room like this can't even be considered a residence.
The noble house our Fool Adventure Group got back then is even worse. If we want to really get a good guild residence, we must at least choose a place of the level of Redcar."
"As for the players...except for Xingluo Griffin, there are really not many players who have good relations with us." With the early morning sunlight shining from the window sill beside the table, he turned around and sat in this small
In one corner of the room: "The only ones left are the Black Corn group and Whispering."
"You probably don't want to see these two groups of people, right?"
"……Um."
"If I have a chance, I have to go say hello to them."
Duan Qing, who still held his adventurer's manual in his hand and was sorting something out, raised his head and looked at the slightly embarrassed face of the white-haired woman: "Because there is a certain necessity, I'd better explain it to you in advance.
"
"Is it for that sacrifice?"
"That's right."
Duan Qing nodded his head, and Duan Qing's voice began to become lower as he concentrated: "The key figure that we worked hard to get out of the mess was entrusted to Xu Yu by me in the end.
Liu Shang's subordinates, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, I'd better do a little questioning."
"She doesn't seem to have appeared recently." As if she had figured out the pros and cons, Xue Ling Huan Bing raised her head in a low voice: "Is it because I am busy in the real world?"
"Since she also participated in that battle, it means that this place is more important than her reality." Duan Qing began to gesture back and forth on his adventurer's manual: "Believe me, she will come back.
"
"...Hmph." He was answered with a cold snort belonging to Xue Ling Huan Bing: "In that case, I agree."
"Agree to what?"
"I agree to leave here."
The two people's eyes met in the air for a moment, and then moved slightly away as the white-haired woman sneered: "In order to prevent you from being suspected and seduced by that woman again, we have to leave quickly."
"Hey, compared to the two of us, you are obviously more likely to be found out." Duan Qing put down the adventurer's manual in his hand: "And the Restorationist, all this is to hide your face that is causing harm to the country and the people, okay?
?”
"Okay, okay, I understand." With an inexplicable smile hanging from the corner of his eyes, Xue Ling Huanbing deliberately lengthened his voice: "Then where should we go next?"
"It depends on your mood. If you want to go to the principality, go to the province of Koska, and then the County of Ferron... Well, the City in the Sky is still there."
"The city in the sky... forget it then."
"I knew you would say that. How about we go to Desennoor? It's just north of Koruk. It's a romantic place full of Gobi and wasteland, and the sky is extremely vast."
"Hehehehehe."
"Don't make that weird laugh. If you can, tell me a better place. Anyway, due to the chaos of magic, there are not many provinces with beautiful scenery in the empire..."
The knocking sound of the door then sounded beside Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing, suddenly interrupting the joking conversation between the two people. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who looked at each other, then
He also put away his happy and natural look with his arms folded, turned around and opened the door that the two people were looking at: "Hello."
"Hello, you two." She was answered with a polite greeting and the figure of Hannah standing at the door in a dress: "I'm sorry to disturb your conversation, but"
"There are some issues that I need to discuss with you." She tilted her head with a smile, and then said softly to Duan Qing who was behind Xue Ling Huan Bing: "It's about the news sent from the Adventurers Association headquarters, which is different from the previous one.
It’s related to the chaos.”
"Excuse me, do you have time?"
"certainly."
Duan Qing slowly stood up from his seat, showing a friendly smile, and then came to Xue Ling Huan Bing's side, who gave way slightly: "It's inconvenient to talk while standing at the door, please come in."
"Speaking of which, we haven't formally thanked you yet." Looking at the petite figure who gradually walked into the room, Xue Ling Huanbing looked at Duan Qing and then relaxed his tone: "You
Not only did he help us meet Violet in prison, but he also protected us from the imperial soldiers."
"Providing basic shelter is the obligation of our Adventurers Association."
Sitting in front of the small round table, Hannah took off the little polite hat on her head. Her short chestnut hair swayed slightly as she shook her head, and then bloomed with her.
The smile on his face stopped in the air: "As for the meeting, that's what I specifically wanted to ask when I came here this time."
"Did you rescue Violet?"
"..."
"I have no intention of inquiring into your secrets."
Facing the silence between Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing as they looked at each other, President Hannah once again showed polite enthusiasm: "However, there were indeed many abnormalities in Violet's trial.
Considering that you two have specifically requested to meet, we have no choice but to turn our suspicious eyes on you."
"Well, if it's because of the imperial people's suspicion of our arrest after the trial, then you don't have to worry." Duan Qing, who hesitated for a while, finally smiled and excused himself: "Even if the royal magician really
They have sensed some magical fluctuations and other absurd conclusions, and their accusations against us are totally unreasonable."
"The magic level of those royal magicians is indeed very high, but their abilities are limited to the level of magic." The short hair swayed slightly in the air, and President Hannah smiled and shook his head: "But I am skeptical about this time.
Certainly, it does not come from the capture of the Imperial Royal Guard."
"It comes from my own judgment."
She opened her smiling eyes slightly and said, "When they carried you into the Adventurer's Association, I did a small check on your physical condition. At that time, your mental power had been depleted.
To an extent that is unimaginable, it is not an exaggeration to say that he would die on the spot.”
"Although they are still using methods like notices to constantly test the outer circle, that's what you did, right?" She looked at Duan Qing's lowered face with bright eyes: "Using a certain method we are still
Unknowable means?"
"..."
"Please rest assured, as the president of the Tanzania City Branch of the Adventurers Association, I will not deliberately disclose your diagnosis results."
As if she got her answer from the other party's silence, Hannah continued to tilt her head and smiled: "But the corresponding troubles cannot be borne by our Adventurer Association."
"what do you mean?"
"His Royal Highness will depart soon."
Turning to face Xue Ling Huan Bing's question in a low voice, Hannah held her cheek and replied: "He has a more important task, and his mission will continue, but..."
"Even if he caused the trouble this time, it has now reached the ears of Emperor Drenier." The cute woman with a cute smile changed the topic: "In order to make up for the losses and face in the past, the noble faction has also
The protest letter was delivered to Redcar, and with the character of the Lion Emperor...an investigation order will be issued soon."
"Unless you go out and surrender now or reveal another real culprit, none of us will be able to escape the involvement." At this point, she pointed to the chests of Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing: "The Adventurers Association and
The Council of Mages will also be included in the Emperor's investigation, and you two will be no exception."
"Do you have the ability and confidence to escape from the eyes of Drenir Frekadrift and the pursuit of his hound?"
"Uh, probably not."
"If not, you'd better prepare for the worst now."
Standing up again, Hannah, still smiling, opened the door of the room behind her: "There are still many ways to prove your innocence, such as joining the Imperial Royal Guard and becoming the witness.
Erlite’s tainted witness, use the short gap period to disassociate yourself from everything here, or..."
"Proving the failure of the trial presided over by His Highness the Prince."
After saying the last words for the other party, Duan Qing, who also stood up, replied in a low voice: "If Violet's innocence can be proven, those of us who saved her will naturally become innocent as well.
Victim, right?"
"As expected, he is the adventurer I value. He always likes to choose the most adventurous path." Putting on her bowler hat again, Hannah hid her eyes in the movement of turning away: "Although I have never
Emotionally speaking, I don’t want to see that great magician with extraordinary achievements sink into the dust of history, so..."
"I'm looking forward to your performance." She folded her hands forward and walked slowly towards the direction of the association gate where she usually waited: "Come on."
"This woman..."
With a low sigh, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who stood at the door with Duan Qing and watched each other leave, said in a low voice: "Did she say that on purpose?"
"At least she is on our side." Duan Qing also smiled bitterly: "We can already be happy."
"What's next? Do we still want to discuss our plans to leave?"
"What else are we discussing?"
Pointing in the direction that Hannah had just left, Duan Qing turned around and returned to his room with a wave of his hand: "The next trip..."
"Everyone has already made a reservation for us."
