The flames that occurred in the Golden Rose Tavern and announced the beginning of chaos in the imperial capital were not noticed by Duan Qing and others at first. They who happened to be nearby did not expect that the two people on their side would be caught by the sudden appearance of the Finance Minister.
Targeted, and at the same time, he was inexplicably identified as the arsonist of this man-made disaster. It was naturally impossible to be captured without mercy. The two people who had drawn their weapons early also hurriedly gathered their own strength. The two people who originally planned to use
The magic and tricks that came to save people also collided head-on with the finance minister's men who rushed forward from all directions amidst the rising steam and exclamations in the sky: "Swamp Technique! Frozen Land!"
"Frost enchantment! Double slash!"
"I say, Your Excellency, the Minister of Finance, as a noble of the empire, even if you don't show courtesy first and then attack, you must at least explain the reason for your action, right?"
"Reason? Isn't the fire in front of you enough?"
Behind the figures that were almost surrounded, the figure belonging to the fat noble with disheveled clothes gradually appeared at the end of the battle light and shadow where Duan Qing and Xue Ling Huan Bing waved: "You! You must be responsible for my behavior in the palace.
He had a grudge, so he took advantage of me to have fun... No, he took advantage of me to inspect the family business and carried out this murderous attack!"
"Hahahaha! You didn't expect me to escape from the back door of the pub, did you?" The serious and angry words became faster and faster, and Field Pamuir's voice gradually took on a sense of triumph:
"Want to do something bad to me? You're still far behind!"
"So the two of us are just passing by. Is your paranoia too serious?"
Sprinkling a large amount of magic powder with his hand, Duan Qing used the flame light belt that once again burned in the air to push back the noble thugs who rushed forward: "I understand that you have done too many bad things on weekdays and are all over the body.
Feeling uncomfortable and frightened, but you shouldn’t arbitrarily spill such frightened feelings on others.”
"What, what did you say?" Zhong Feifei's furious voice rose into the air as expected: "I, I'm going to kill you! I'm going to burn you to ashes!"
"Come on, another guy who can't communicate." Duan Qing curled his lips, and then withdrew his eyes from the crowd of people pouring out of the street: "Lingbing, are you okay over there? If
If nothing goes wrong..."
"Let's just rush out first."
The fire element burning in the surrounding air became a little brighter, and it seemed that the powder being sprayed out from Duan Qing's hand was reacting more violently. The surging flames then turned towards the surrounding figures again like flares.
They retreated two points, and what appeared in front of them was an ice crystal-colored wall filled with cold energy: "Wall of Ice!"
"Go this way! They rushed out from the tavern!"
After gesturing towards the two people facing each other, Duan Qing then reminded Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was still using his sword to resist the enemy, to run to the right: "Avoid the troop spawning point! Run away first!"
"A good night was ruined by them... Humph."
The condensed white light turned into two intertwined frost sword shadows in the hands of Xue Ling Huan Bing, freezing the last two black-clothed thugs who were blocking the two people who were about to escape in place: "We will fight again in the future.
You settle the account."
"Oh? This lady seems to have a little misunderstanding about us."
Qingyue's voice then sounded in front of the two players who walked out of the encirclement along the frozen wall, and the figure of the magician who had previously suppressed the fire in the entire tavern with an ice storm appeared in front of them.
The man who called himself Festa Pamuel, who looked like an aristocratic gentleman, then swung the golden staff in his hand to the side, and majestic energy visible to the naked eye began to appear around the floating figure: "It's time to settle accounts.
It’s not you and me—”
"It's us and you who are right."
The golden energy surging from the golden staff weaved in the air to form brilliant magic arrays, carrying countless shock waves mixed with various magic elements and falling towards the heads of Duan Qing and the two who had just ran to the street.
, even the two ice-colored magic walls that Duan Qing had shaped before were shattered into primitive water magic elements in the aftermath of this energy flow. A bottle of magic melting potion was urgently thrown into the air.
, Duan Qing, who had no time to react, hurriedly covered the snow spirit phantom ice next to him. A crystal shield that had appeared in front of Duan Qing before completely covered the two people's positions in the next moment.
Surrounded, blocking the chaotic energy flow on the surface of the spherical shield: "...Violet!"
Looking at the purple-haired woman who appeared behind the two people at an unknown moment, raising her hands with an expressionless expression, Duan Qing reminded the other party in a low voice: "Don't expose yourself at this time, do you know that there are
How many people are-"
"well."
Looking at the confused face of the great magician who then looked at him, Duan Qing sighed deeply, and the words he originally wanted to dissuade him swallowed back, replaced by the words belonging to the gray-robed magician.
The teacher's firm eyes said: "Well, since the matter has reached this point..."
"Oh? You guys are still hiding such a skill?"
In the field of vision that gradually became clearer, the aristocratic magician floating in the air brushed back his meticulously combed black hair, and his eyes from above fell on Duan Qing.
The surprise in the eyes of the purple-haired woman who was protecting him became even more intense: "No wonder you dare to act so unscrupulously in front of the most noble magician in our empire. It turns out that you have the power to do so."
Helper... huh?"
"This woman -" The magic energy surrounding her body shifted a bit with the swing of the golden staff, and Festa's doubtful voice, looking at Violet, became longer and longer: "This
The woman’s appearance——”
Oops, have you been discovered yet?
Gritting his teeth, Duan Qing began to look for an escape route around the once again surrounded alley. However, the proud laughter belonging to the golden magician suddenly sounded above the two people, and
Accompanied by his exaggerated gesture of opening his hands: "What a beautiful face! What a match made in heaven! A match made in heaven!"
"...I thought you, an imperial noble magician dressed like a dog, would have such noble sentiments, but in the end it was still the same." I finally understood the way the other person looked at Violet with a smile.
The meaning contained in it made Xue Ling Huan Bing involuntarily let out a sarcastic laugh: "I'm the same as that fat pig."
"You are right, we are indeed a family."
An overwhelming number of figures surrounded the streets and alleys like black clouds. The voice belonging to Imperial Finance Minister Field Parmuir then sounded from behind the wall of black clouds: "To the two of you - no, to the three of you."
Let me introduce you to Festa Pamuir, the most noble magician in the empire, and a member of our Pamuir family."
"He is also my second brother."
The fire that has not yet been extinguished is still shining in the distant scene. The plump nobleman shook his head and said in a proud voice, and the noble magician with neat hair and handsome appearance floating above the airspace also cast a spell.
Suddenly he landed two points lower, and with his shiny face, he made a standard aristocratic courtesy to Violet next to Duan Qing: "Hello, beautiful lady, are you interested in becoming my lifelong partner?"
Woolen cloth?"
"You can play a gangster so directly. I have a completely new understanding of the nobles of your empire." Blocking the purple-haired woman who was standing there blankly behind him, Duan Qing showed the expected behavior of a gentleman and nobles without being humble or overbearing.
Some have the attitude: "What, you want to rob our maid? Did you get our consent?"
"Maid, maid?"
Before the golden magician in front of him with his crooked mouth could let out his strange cry, Xue Ling Huan Bing on the side took the lead in pulling Duan Qing, who was standing in front of him with his head held high, back a few steps: "Hey, hey, don't
You take advantage of others just because they are unconscious."
"What do you know? This is called disguise." Duan Qing waved his hand nonchalantly and made an OK gesture towards Xue Ling Huan Bing. Then he told his lie with a pretentious look on his face: "To tell you the truth, I
Linyuan Duanshui, Morde Emotion, Gatlinsky was once an imperial noble, and this is the maid who has been following me. She can kill the enemy's head with lightning from thousands of miles away.
That’s why the Jianghu people nicknamed Trivielle the Purple Lightning Madman——”
"Trivel?"
Looking suspiciously at the woman shrouded in a cloak who was blocked behind by Duan Qing, there was no denying that Festa broke away from Duan Qing's many chatty words and then resumed her own treatment.
He looked like a gentleman: "Ahem...Hello, Miss Trivel, I am Festa, the second son of the Imperial Pamuir family. I wonder if you are free tonight, Miss? We can have a candlelight dinner together.
Let’s have dinner to deepen each other’s magical feelings..."
"..."
"Young lady, there is no need to panic. We will not harm you or your...master."
Gritting his teeth and uttering the word he didn't want to say, the golden magician who descended to the same height as the ground smiled at Duan Qing and gestured: "My brother and I have no intention of offending.
, It’s just that too many things happened tonight, and we should find some clues from the chaos..."
"Having said that, your persistence is really annoying."
Showing Violet's reaction sideways, her head still lowered and motionless, Duan Qing pulled the corner of his mouth to block the shy expression on the pig-like face of this aristocratic magician with shiny oil hair: "Our daughter
If we don’t agree, please stop harassing us.”
"You, what did you say?" He raised the golden staff to the side, and Festa's expression became unnatural: "You, you - Miss Trivel didn't express her objection clearly.
What is an adventurer talking about here?"
"Then she didn't express her consent clearly? And as her master, I certainly have the right to decide such things for her..."
"You rotten wood that hinders the joy of love! You ungentlemanly country bumpkin! I want to challenge you to a duel! Let you let this beautiful Miss Trivel out——"
"Don't be fooled by this liar! He is not an imperial noble at all!"
In the scene where the majestic magical energy rose over the neighborhood again, a harsh roar suddenly appeared in the crowd surrounding Duan Qing, and the figure belonging to Field Pamuir also emerged from the crowd.
He squeezed out a wide gap and came to Duan Qing with difficulty: "He is a wanted criminal in the Fleur Empire! He is a criminal who has committed many crimes! He is not an imperial noble at all! There is no maid!"
"I, I knew it a long time ago."
Facing his brother's aggressive declaration and Duan Qing's silent reaction, Festa, who was alert, pretended to have noticed it and pointed at the tip of the gray-robed magician's nose: "A magic as powerful as Trivill's.
Master, how could I regard a humble adventurer like you as my master..."
"Don't talk too much. After all, we are now summoned by His Majesty the Emperor." Ignoring the magical pressure coming from the golden magician, Duan Qing squinted at the Minister of Finance's face:
"Furthermore...you are inexplicably treating us as arsonists, isn't it because you have fallen in love with this beautiful maid of mine? With all due respect, every corner of this imperial capital is prettier than Tlivi's maid.
They all grab a lot..."
"What do you know! How can those vulgar fans be compared with me, the golden magician!"
Brutally interrupting Duan Qing's musing, Festa put her staff on the ground and spread out her arms with heavy magical energy: "Only a beautiful and powerful magician woman can be worthy of me at the same time.
As the leader of the empire’s magicians and as the second son of the Pamuir family, there are fewer women like this in the empire than there are stars in the sea in Leipzig!”
"I, Fista, am already thirty-one this year, and I thought I would never be able to find a suitable partner in my whole life." The high-pitched voice fell slightly as he caressed his chest, and his eyes returned to Duan Duan again.
Qing blocked the purple-haired woman behind him: "But now - fate has finally sent a young lady like Trivel in front of me! I have finally been favored by God!"
"It is impossible for you to marry her, not even in the next life."
Duan Qing spat on the ground bitterly, and Duan Qing's face finally lost the politeness it should have: "I have never been able to marry such a beautiful woman in my life, you just jumped out of nowhere.
This guy actually wants to take this piece of swan meat away from me..."
"So why should I explain this to you, a criminal?" Festa raised his hands again, standing in front of Field, and raised a large amount of chaotic energy in an emotional voice: "Hand over the one behind you.
Woman, adventurer! Seeing that she is still so pure and pure, I can consider leaving a whole corpse for those of you who dare to deceive me with lies."
"This gentleman did not lie to you, Festa."
The desperate situation began to gradually arise in the corners of the fire-lit streets, accompanied by the twisted air squeezed and deformed by the magical energy between the two groups of people with huge disparities in strength.
The mellow but indifferent voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears, and accompanied by it was a man in black standing in the corner of the street, arranging his wrists and gradually revealing his figure under the magic light in the corner.
: "At least he didn't lie to you about one thing - he is indeed a nobleman of the empire."
"I, Simon Ingemild, can testify." (To be continued)
