"Well, there's probably no more useful reason in the world than this kind of hatred."
"So you have to bear half of the responsibility for bringing me to this point."
"Would you like to help you teach him a lesson in the game to relieve your suffering?"
"You teach him a lesson? Can you beat him now? Look at your level... You have done so many tasks. Even I, who came out of the novice village later than you, am already almost level 30. Why are you still in the teens?
Level?"
Walking on the corner of the Imperial Capital Street, the voices belonging to Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huanbing gradually echoed in the increasingly noisy crowd, but the expressions and movements belonging to the white-haired woman among them also became
It became even more strange: "This doesn't look normal, right? How did you do the reverse upgrade?"
"Maybe it's because I've been refining too much medicine recently." Duan Qing scratched his nose in embarrassment: "But it doesn't matter, as long as you can maintain your combat effectiveness in this way."
"After all, having a low level is not a good thing. Not to mention the attribute restrictions on weapons and equipment, just the popularity and reputation will also be affected." Xueling Huanbing reminded the other party with a slight anxiety: "Even if it is the Adventurers Association,
People will also choose the difficulty of assigning tasks by evaluating your strength. Players with low levels can only be discriminated against by the association. The final tasks assigned are only simple and basic, suitable for novices..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Isn't this good?"
Smiling and putting his hands behind his head, Duan Qing raised his gaze to the starry sky above: "It would be nice if I could really live an ordinary life. The problem now is not the trouble that comes to my door."
Can’t you hide away even if you want to?”
"..."
The steps slowed slightly for a moment, and the white shoulder that had been accompanying Duan Qing also sluggishly moved back by two points. Duan Qing, who noticed this abnormality, also stopped his movement and turned his head to look at that
A slightly lonely face appeared: "...I'm sorry."
"Why did you suddenly start blaming yourself again?" So Duan Qing curled his lips helplessly: "Didn't you tell me to take half of the responsibility? Don't worry, if you promised to teach him a lesson, I will definitely teach him a lesson.
."
"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in this situation, right?" Ignoring the relaxed look that the other party deliberately showed to him, Xue Ling Huan Bing's voice was still full of guilt.
: "Looking back now, not only is my identity dragging down the situation to what it is now, but I am also the biggest liability to this team..."
"...Boom, here we go again."
There was a moment of silence as the other party hesitated to speak. Duan Qing, who took two steps back, sighed and patted the other party on the head: "I am a qualified player, and qualified players face this world."
We will think of appropriate solutions to all tasks here.”
"When soldiers come to block it, when water comes and the soil comes to cover, it is nothing more than these eight words." He showed a confident smile to Xue Ling Huan Bing who raised his head: "Of course, low-difficulty problems can be solved in an easy way.
And difficult problems... are not without suitable solutions."
"Before we can complete the turnaround of our team's reputation on the empire's territory, all you need to do is continue to cultivate your own strength." As if there were only two people left in the world, he gestured with his thumbs: "Of course.
, at this point, I will spare no effort to help you."
"...Then it's settled."
Blinking his own eyes, Xue Ling Huan Bing's slightly confused eyes became a little brighter: "Skill explanations, tactical guidance, and one-on-one training... In this case, you have to take full responsibility.
Woolen cloth."
"Oh, woman."
Unable to understand the other party's emotional changes, Duan Qing rubbed his forehead in embarrassment. Just as he was about to continue moving forward, he was pulled back by the white hand, accompanied by the man.
The white-haired woman's eyes flashed in front of him again: "Don't leave, help me pick two necklaces first."
"Xiang, necklace? Is it the one from just now? Do you think the loss of 1,000 gold coins we suffered before was not big enough, or do you think the properties of the brooch just now are not bad enough?"
"Didn't I agree to take full responsibility? I don't care, since you bought one for her, you must buy one for me too!"
"I asked you why you are so irritable tonight. It turns out you are waiting for me here! It's okay to glare at Yu Shang all the time. What's the point of being jealous of an NPC..."
"Do you want to buy it or not?"
The sound of a moderate fight then appeared in the corners of the streets filled with countless vendors. Along with it, the figure of a gray-robed magician suddenly emerged from the crowd and ran forward. The two figures who were chasing each other also fled.
As the hustle and bustle of the streets became more and more lively in this corner of the imperial capital, they soon disappeared at the end of the long street with countless magic lights twinkling. Duan Qing's physical strength was obviously not as good as that of his opponent who was a swordsman, and he was panting.
After all, he was thrown to the ground by the white-clothed and white-haired Xueling Huanbing at the entrance of a certain alley. The two figures who rolled together separated from the ground after a long while, and spread their hands together to look at the person who was almost covered by the traffic lights.
The dark night that turned into day: "...Thank you."
"If I hadn't accepted all this, I would have rejected it as early as in Novice Village."
"If...I'm talking about if, I become what I was before again, will you continue to accept me?"
"I have a very stubborn temper. As long as I accept something, I will not let it go. Otherwise... all the efforts and sacrifices I have made before will be wasted."
"..."
Without any more words, the white-haired woman lying on the ground just turned around, and the hand tightly wrapped around Duan Qing's arm became harder and harder as the two people looked at each other, as if she wanted to
As if you want to embed the other person in your chest: "I...I'm scared."
"I woke up from a dream alone, but there was no one around me." She murmured in a low voice, as if her emotionless tone was telling a story that had nothing to do with her: "I never woke up.
When I ran out of that small warehouse, all I saw was an empty space."
"I remembered everything that happened before, and that frightening familiar feeling." The hand holding Duan Qing began to tremble slightly, and the woman's voice also became trembling: "Frankly
What happened with Sangcheng has been proven. I have no power to resist him at all. If...if he uses that method to control me again, I, I..."
"Is this still our Chu Lingbing who is so cold-tempered that he is not afraid of anything?"
The teasing voice then sounded in Xue Ling Huan Bing's ears, suppressing all her intermittent words as if she was in a daze, and then a palm belonging to Duan Qing was placed on her forehead, accompanying it.
And the voice of the gray-robed magician gradually became warmer: "Don't worry anymore, I will always be by your side."
"Your nightmare will end with the death of Mo Shang Qingshan. Now you... you can definitely do it."
"Um."
Slight sobs then sounded in his ears, and along with the last two lines of crystal tears left by Xueling Huanbing, they disappeared in the space tightly embracing each other, even shining on the two people side by side.
The magic lights above the head slowly dimmed as if they were ashamed to see this scene: "...I said."
"Is there something inappropriate about this place?"
Looking at Violet, who was standing quietly in front of the two people, looking down at them expressionlessly, Duan Qing, whose eyes became clear, patted the back of the woman in his arms: "If you don't want to go back to Lanshan Station, we can also
You can just find a pub to stay."
"...That's fine." He turned around and wiped his face. Xue Ling Huan Bing's voice also became much more embarrassing: "What did you do later, and why did you run so far away... It just so happened that
I can take this opportunity to explain it to you."
"I'm not running around, I just completed a commission by the way. But the things I encountered before I came here seem to be more valuable to explore."
"Is it the magic bomb you just mentioned? Don't worry, magic bombs of the same magnitude as Fars Fortress were banned by the empire long after that battle. These so-called bombs that are now popular on the market,
They are just defective products imitated by Dr. J’s disciples..."
boom!
A dull sound then appeared on the left front of the street where the two people were walking hand in hand. Not far from them, there was another bright and feasting night sky in the imperial capital. Duan Qing, who felt the strong shaking of the ground, hurriedly supported Xue, who was also a little surprised.
Ling Huan Bing's body looked towards the left front where blazing flames and thick smoke were rising: "What, what's going on?"
"Exploded, exploded?"
"It's the Golden Rose Tavern! Something happened at the Golden Rose Tavern!"
"Quick, run quickly, no, hurry up and call someone to put out the fire!"
The fleeing crowd gradually rushed out from the direction of the thick smoke, announcing everything they saw around the street with their panicked shouts. The originally noisy night market also became chaotic with the explosion.
There were some signs of panic, and with the news of the same explosion, an atmosphere of panic slowly spread around the center of the accident site. Duan Qing stared at the thick smoke for a long time, and stood there for a long time.
Di did not close his mouth until the surrounding vendors had almost run away with their goods and people, and then he looked at each other with the equally unbelievable Xue Ling Huan Bing: "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"The Golden Rose Tavern is a famous red lantern tavern in Redcar, the imperial capital, and one of the most popular taverns among the imperial nobles." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who had regained her mood, replied in a low voice: "And the most important thing is... in
Before this gray industry of the empire was curbed, it was once a competitor of Anfu Rose Tavern."
"In other words, is this the revenge of the Amfleet family?" Duan Qing let out a long sigh: "They started taking action so quickly? And they also used such extreme revenge methods?"
"I can't be sure about this." Xueling Huanbing shook his head: "Although judging from the scale and suddenness of this explosion..."
"The possibility of being detonated by a magic bomb seems very high."
They started to move in unison, and the two men and women walking together went against the crowd on the street and began to walk towards the center of the explosion, feeling the increasingly obvious effects of the thick smoke and heat.
In the midst of chaos, he took the burning tavern near the center of the imperial capital into his sight. Countless cries for help still kept ringing inside and outside the tavern surrounded by flames, with occasional interruptions in between.
Looking at the screams of some of the people trapped inside the tavern, Duan Qing, who was looking at the fire that was not inferior to the previous fire at Anfu Rose Tavern, then nodded to each other with Xueling Huanbing, and at the same time took out their respective weapons and spells.
Stick: "No matter what, let's rescue the people first."
"No."
A steady voice then appeared behind the two people, accompanied by an imperial male wearing a golden royal robe and his hair combed as meticulously as an aristocrat. At some point, this magician appeared behind the two people.
The master then calmly crossed Duan Qing's side, who was about to cast a spell to put out the fire, and slowly raised his right hand: "With such a huge fire, the actions of adventurers of your level are simply a drop in the bucket."
"Don't let yourself get involved, you weakling." The cold ice air appeared around the golden magician with a snap of his fingers on the noble's right hand, and instantly turned into a huge ice-colored vortex to surround the entire tavern.
Among them: "Just leave it to me Festapa Muir."
"Who is this guy?"
Looking at the back of the magician who started to cool down the rolling flames in front of him, Duan Qing took two steps back and quietly smelled the Snow Spirit Magic Ice beside him: "This is the tavern
The master? A guy with such a suspicious style..."
"It's you who should be suspected."
Before Xue Ling Huan Bing could say his answer, a loud man's voice with an angry tone suddenly appeared behind him, and the fat figure belonging to the Imperial Finance Minister hurried over with several people.
The subordinates appeared together in front of the street illuminated by fire and ice. Still arranging his unbuttoned and zippered clothes, the fat man tried his best to calm down his shortness of breath.
The pair of small eyes, squeezed together due to excess fat, were staring at the direction of Duan Qing for a moment: "You are the two wanted criminals, right?"
"Catch them for me."
His fat face, which was illuminated by the flickering fire, once again showed a serious and angry look. He raised his voice and suddenly shouted orders to his subordinates behind him.
