Just as Duan Qing said, the departure schedule belonging to the Qing Ling Adventure Group was quickly put into their plans, and the secret preparations from Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing also began as time went by.
Gradually it was put on the table, and at the same time it was also included in the observation scope of other interested people. As the news that His Royal Highness was about to leave gradually emerged, the originally tense battles and confrontations between the royal family and the nobles also eased.
A few points, and this also made the two gray-robed magicians and white-haired swordswoman who were at the center of the dispute once again become the focus of other forces' sight.
It is precisely for this reason that more and more people are visiting Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing, including representatives from various forces in Tanzania City, as well as players who are interested in them.
"Excuse me, is this the station of the Qingling Adventure Group? What, this is not your station? No, no, no, it doesn't matter. Anyway, our Zhushan Guild is just here to find you. I wonder if you still remember that we were in Kemparo Canyon
It's a matter of acquaintance..."
"I am from the Ross Chamber of Commerce. I am here under the entrustment of the president, Mr. Ross. I hope to reach some friendly business relations with you before you leave..."
"Your Excellency Linyuan Duanshui, Sir Robert wants to meet you. He is the noble Lord from Robert City. You should have met him at the previous noble banquet."
"Are you that guy from the Qingling Adventure Group? Our president invited us... who is our president? You'll know if you go there? What, you don't have time? Don't toast or eat as a penalty, you guys?
Hey, what are you going to do? You still dare to ask the Adventurers Association if there is a plan to do something inside? Come on, come on! Master Swordsman, they were the ones who made the move first!"
"Ah ah ah I'm so exhausted."
Duan Qing slowly closed the door in front of him, once again shutting out a group of noisy players outside. Duan Qing slumped down on the stool next to the round table with a face full of pain, while looking down at him with dull eyes.
The low ceiling, while sighing in a feeble voice: "Why did it seem like everyone in the world knew once we decided to leave..."
"Maybe someone secretly spread the word about this." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was still packing something in the corner of the room, replied without raising her head: "For example, our dear association president, or Feng
The owner of the Eagle Tavern or something like that.”
"President Hannah doesn't seem like the kind of person who likes to spread the word." Duan Qing, with his eyes closed, still maintained a posture like a dead fish: "That Paul... Humph, indeed a place like the tavern is the most suitable place.
A place where gossip is spread."
"Who told you to tell him?" Xue Ling Huanbing said with a hint of contempt: "Those bosses and drinkers who are always there have the biggest mouths in the world."
"After all, it's the tavern that I've been harassing in that place for a month. No matter how I find it, I should say goodbye to the owner there."
"Since you want to say goodbye to the people here, why don't you allow others to say goodbye to you?"
"Look at the few people who have come recently, do any of them sincerely come to say goodbye to us? They either want to get some benefits from us, or they have malicious intentions to expose our identities!"
"Then there is nothing we can do. Who told you to do such a thing?"
The arranging movements in her hands paused slightly for a moment, and the white-haired swordswoman slowly raised her head: "Since His Highness the Prince is unwilling to continue to entangle, we naturally have no better opportunity to turn against the guests.
ah."
"We can only wait until subsequent events develop before making a decision."
The closed eyes slowly opened, and Duan Qing's eyes also showed a bit of thoughtfulness: "I heard that Emperor Drenier is not a kind person, and he is already the best in this game world.
One of the top food chains, if one fails, we might have to delete our account and practice again."
"Delete your account, just delete it, you have the final say." It seemed that she had finally finished sorting out the packages in front of her. Xue Linghuan, who stood up, then began to wrap the Luoyang that had been placed aside with a thick strip of cloth again.
Get up: "I must follow you anyway."
"Then please change your appearance next time and don't use this face again." Duan Qing tilted his head expressionlessly: "Do you know how many people who came to your door began to inquire about your identity because of this incident?
?"
"Of course I know, it can be seen from the comments about this incident that have been circulated on the Internet." The movements of his hands paused slightly, and Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was immersed in packing his things, sighed slightly:
"Unless you really find it troublesome,...just let them guess."
"I won't go back anyway."
As if he understood the meaning contained in the other party's words, Duan Qing stopped extending the topic for a while, just because many of the visitors who came to visit their two-person team in the past few days were members of Duan Qing.
The identity and origins of these guys could not be determined. In line with the principle of not asking about the other party's past, Duan Qing did not take the initiative to ask the other party about the identities of those people, but based on the memories remaining in his head, he could probably guess those three people.
The whole story of two points.
They were probably players who had been teammates with her among the people who belonged to Wings of Freedom Tianxiang Company in the past.
Without the traces of Chu Lingbing's life in the past few months when he disappeared in seclusion, Duan Qing could not judge the intentions of these people. However, judging from the silence Xue Ling Huanbing has maintained until now, she herself seems to have no idea about these people.
The players who came to the door like other interested parties were not interested. As one of the parties involved, he was naturally unable to judge how much this had to do with Duan Qing's existence. The only thing he could do was to wait until the matter was resolved.
Before things get really big, take these hot topics and stay away from this place full of right and wrong.
But no matter how quickly they prepared, there were several hurdles they had to overcome as they were about to become the center of attention, including questioning from a certain military noble and a letter from a representative of a dark force.
"Although there are some things that I am not suitable to ask now, but since I have come to this point, I guess you shouldn't care too much."
Standing on the ruins next to the entrance of the Adventurers Association, the warrior Lott who pulled Duan Qing out of the hall was still wearing a full bandage, with one arm still hanging on his chest. He said: "When did you find out about the prince?"
His Highness’s secret?”
"Is this question important? It's all over."
"Of course it's important. Otherwise...how would you explain the previous battle and your intention to fight Violet to the end?"
"If something unexpected didn't happen, I might have acted according to His Highness the Prince's plan."
Looking side by side at the workers who were repairing the periphery of the ruins in this central block, Duan Qing sighed slightly: "I can only say that bad luck and unpredictable fortunes led me to accidentally meet an acquaintance and finally walk on the road.
He took another path and finally exposed His Highness the Prince's conspiracy, that's all."
"In other words, you have nothing to do with Violet's escape?"
"How do I know? It's always you people who decide this kind of thing."
"...Hmph, that's right."
Seemingly lost in thought because of Duan Qing's words, Lott, who had been silent for a while, let out a heavy snort: "As you said, many things in the empire are often caused by this group of aloof royals.
It has been decided secretly with the nobles, and before their plans and preconceived judgments, truth and facts don't mean much at all."
"When that prince arrived in this city, my fate and future had already been decided by that man." His voice became a little lonely, and when he said this, he let out a long breath: "And
This is the reason why they specially assigned you "Adventurer Guards" to my command at that time. It was not to train you better, but to use my name as an unnamed person in the event of an accident in the future.
The obedient defense officers will be dealt with together."
"...Is it because you saw the "black pot" aspect that you chose to fight?"
"I didn't think of this when I was fighting Violet, but the subsequent trial... hum." Looking towards the east of Tanzania City, Lott's eyes showed a bit of depth.
: "Since they no longer recognize my identity as an imperial soldier, I will abandon this responsibility."
"The Gloria family...is it?" Understanding the hidden meaning of the other party's words, Duan Qing showed a playful smile: "It's a good name. Your family must have been a very great family in the past, right?"
"
"It's just that I assisted His Majesty the Emperor in a few battles in the early days. It's no big deal." His eyes became much clearer, and Lott waved his uninjured arm: "Although the empire that respects martial arts has always put my
The family regards it as a great honor, but there are so many families similar to ours in the empire."
"It's an honor to meet one of the most prominent families in the empire." Duan Qing didn't care about the sarcasm in the other person's words. Duan Qing still stretched out his hand: "You are the first warrior we met after entering the city.
Hope this isn't the last time."
"Of course not." After looking at each other indifferently for a while, Lott then extended his intact hand: "Aren't you going to the capital? We are both involved in the rebellion in Tanzania. Sooner or later, we will
We will meet."
"...That's really great."
In the scene where countless shouts and noises passed by like flowing water, two people standing on the ruins held hands together: "I hope that by then we can still stand on the same front as last time."
"Humph, if possible, I don't want to stand with you, you disaster star."
The same farewell is still happening in other corners of the city, including Peter Blacksmith, who is a drinker with Duan Qing and is resident in the Wind Eagle Tavern, and keeps asking him where he wants to go next.
He also seemed to have a great interest in the imperial capital that he had never been to, and almost let the annoyed Duan Qing take this alcoholic NPC on the road with him. Different from these ordinary farewells, people from the Luxor family
The farewell was in the form of a letter, but in Duan Qing's eyes, the letter seemed to be very similar to a certain letter he had seen in Tania.
In the black envelope representing the Shadow Society, the warnings and reminders from Hank also conveyed some obscure information to Duan Qing in very short sentences. He, who has dealt with the Shadow Society countless times, can naturally learn from that information.
He extracted the parts he needed most, but he scorned Hank himself, who played the role of Lord Luxor: "Hey, you're a three-material spy."
"You didn't take action when Maggie was in danger, but now you come here to express your concern and gratitude... Doesn't it mean that your identity has been discovered, and is it necessary to keep vigilant until now?"
Similar to some of the signs mentioned in that letter, news soon spread among the noble circles in Tanzania that the Luxor family was about to move out of the city. The other nobles who resided here generally believed that this was because
The middle-aged gentleman who assisted the Romilia family lost the trust of the city lord, but few people really noticed the next destination of this emerging nobleman. In their eyes, Rom who had just arrived in front of them
Leah's direct relative, Mr. Tristan, is the savior they are about to flock to, because this returning imperial nobleman not only showed amazing skill and courage on the day he returned, but also showed his sophistication in the time that followed.
The aristocratic IQ.
Even though this middle-aged noble was born in the Free City, which is known for its chaos and cunning, and his recent actions have been somewhat unusual, the Lord of the City still placed great trust in him, and even gave him the initiative to confront His Royal Highness.
It's all in this man's hands.
"What should we do next, Tristan Pavilion... Tristan's great nephew?"
"The departure of His Highness the Prince means that he has given in, so we can ignore the pressure from him. Now we need to deal with the subsequent pressure from the Imperial Royal Family, as well as the investigation team that may come to investigate the rebellion in Tanzania City."
"Yes, is that so? That is indeed troublesome... I wonder if my nephew has any good ideas to help me, the old city lord, continue to stand up? Don't worry, as long as our family can prosper for a long time, I will too
I entrust the future of this city to you."
"There's no need to entrust me with anything. I don't like it anymore."
Tristan slowly walked out of the gate of the city lord's palace, waved to Bamotromlia, and then walked towards the Adventurer Association not far from the central ruins: "What I am concerned about now...
…”
"On the contrary, it's something more open."
