"No wonder you won't leave no matter what. It turns out you are waiting for someone."
Looking at the snow spirit phantom ice that was gradually formed on the spot with its eyes still closed, Duan Qing let out a long breath. His mood that was gradually relaxing because he found the person then became more and more confused, as if he was aware of it.
Something is wrong: "Oops, isn't it right to go online in front of your face?"
"We've already reached this level, what's the use of worrying about it?" Qian Zhihe on the side tilted his head angrily: "And she looks quite stupid now... No, she's usually there anyway.
Many players log in in front of NPCs in the free world, and nothing unusual has happened so far."
"Players in the free world can log off at will. That's because there is a system that uses certain methods to cover up the past in front of NPCs."
Looking at the back of the purple-haired woman who was still standing still, Duan Qing lowered his voice and replied: "In order to protect the NPCs in the virtual world from being attacked by players using offline ambush methods, whether it is the player or the NPC,
At the moment when you log into the game, you cannot sense each other. This common blind method has matured a lot after many generations of improvements in the virtual system, and was even used in many other places outside of online and offline...
"
"According to this theory, our Miss Violet should not see the downline and upline of Xue Ling Huan Bing from any angle." His voice became a little more serious: "But she did.
It’s like I know about this problem and have been waiting here.”
"No matter how you look at it, it feels a little abnormal."
As she spoke, the figure belonging to the white-haired female swordsman began to gradually become stable. After completing the landing under the gaze of several people, she slowly opened her eyes, and there was something in her eyes as she looked forward.
It is full of endless troubles and fatigue: "..."
"What's wrong? Are you still struggling with what happened before?"
Duan Qing walked up to her with a smile. Duan Qing, who abandoned the topic, suppressed all the negative factors that originally appeared on his face with a calm expression: "Or do you feel uncomfortable somewhere in your body?"
"...Duan Qing."
After whispering the name, Xue Ling Huan Bing's originally sluggish eyes slightly clarified: "You... you are here."
"Tired? Or do you have any other questions?"
Sensing something unusual from the other party's wandering eyes, Duan Qing stepped forward with a smile and asked in a gentle voice: "Why did you suddenly go offline in a place like this?"
"I, I'm fine."
The movements of what he wanted to say were slowly withdrawn as he hesitated to speak. Xue Ling Huan Bing, who lowered his head, gradually twisted his hands together: "I just... well, I suddenly felt anxious, so...
"
"Oh, really?" Doubtful eyes began to glance around the body of the white-haired swordswoman. Duan Qing pinched her chin and asked: "Don't high-end game cabins have metabolic circulation systems? In order to allow players
The kind of body fluid collection device specifically designed for the best experience... Oops!"
Duan Qing, who received a heavy blow on the forehead and was interrupted, then covered his head and stepped back. The white-haired woman who couldn't help but stretched out her hand to punish the opponent then retracted her arm with some embarrassment, her cheeks rising.
The two blushes that appeared later became the best way to cover up her unnaturalness at this time: "That is a function that only the highest level cabin has! How can I have a game cabin like this? I"
Sensing Violet's presence, she calmly retracted her blunt words: "Anyway, don't think about those things, my body is fine."
"That's good."
Duan Qing nodded slightly, covered his head and rubbed it for a long time, and then replied with a smile: "I thought you would have some abnormalities in your body after meeting that person..."
"..."
"What's wrong? Did I tell you right?"
Seeing that the other party fell into silence again, Duan Qing put down his hands: "Did that Liangchen Meiyu use something strange to persecute you again? Or did he say something strange?"
"No, there isn't."
Xue Linghuan interrupted the man in front of her in a slightly exaggerated manner and hurriedly shouted, taking two steps back. Realizing that she was overreacting, she carefully put away her expression and looked down at the ground beneath her feet.
His eyes became even more panicked: "He, he just said a few random words and made me sick and disgusted."
"If it weren't for Violet's protection, I might have been successfully attacked by him." I don't know whether she was eager to change the topic or remembered what happened before she went offline. Her expression became much gentler and she turned around.
Looking at the silent face of the purple-haired woman: "She used magic to protect me from that bastard's attack at the critical moment, and then used teleportation magic to bring me here..."
"That's it, thank you."
Duan Qing didn't seem to notice these abnormalities. He turned around and bowed to Violet with a smile and said: "Thank you for staying here. You have helped us again. After you recover, I will
I definitely will. Unfortunately, all the valuables I have on me have been destroyed by the magic absorption array. Now I can hardly afford a penny. When I have money, I will definitely invite you to the largest tavern in the imperial capital first.
Sheriti, have a wonderful meal! Hahahahaha..."
"..."
"……never mind."
Looking around at the quiet atmosphere that did not come alive with his laughter, Duan Qing, who looked embarrassed, then stopped his slightly dry smile: "I keep talking about these useless things in your ears every day, and why?
It would be more practical to find a way to treat you earlier... let's go."
"Let's find a place to rest first, and stay away from this place of right and wrong." He took Violet's slightly stupid arm, and at the same time turned to the Snow Spirit Huanbing and whispered in a low voice: "You don't know
How exciting is what happened during this time, us eh?"
"what happened again?"
He looked at Xue Ling Huan Bing's slightly hesitant face, and his eyes met the eyes that were staring at him: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
"You...I remember you said you were offline?"
Opening her lips slightly and closing them twice, Xueling Huanbing finally asked a question in her heart: "It was before... when we were in the Adventurers Association, you... you said...
Something suddenly happened and I had to go offline..."
"That matter, that matter has been done." His eyebrows were raised with a stunned expression. After reacting for a long time, Duan Qing then smiled and replied: "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
Sure enough, he still didn't tell me.
He is still hiding something.
A disappointed look flashed across his eyes, and Xue Ling Huan Bing barely managed a smile: "...It's nothing, let's go."
"The Pamuir family has already started retaliation, and the riot tonight is expected to last for a long time."
I don’t know whether it was because of his overly optimistic attitude or because he was too tired. Duan Qing, who did not notice this abnormality, then put away his eyes and walked forward: "Although I don’t know what the courage they have to do in the current environment of the imperial capital.
If something like this happens, it's better for us to avoid those troublesome guys first."
"It's a pity that we don't have many guys we can trust anymore." His voice paused slightly, as if he was thinking about the choice that should be made in this situation: "Most of the allies of the Randall family are the Amfleet family.
, so if you go there, you will most likely be involved in the disputes between the nobles, and the Date family can’t count on it now, so the only option is probably hello, what’s wrong with you?”
"You, what did you call him just now?"
Qian Zhihe, who seemed to have been standing there for a long time, staring straight at Duan Qing, pointed at Xue Ling Huan Bing and said in his own voice: "You call him...
Paragraphs……"
"You heard wrong."
Helplessly blocking the name that the other party wanted to say, Duan Qing, who reached out to twist the little head, turned back to his head expressionlessly: "This guy usually likes to yell nonsense, and he never wants to call others.
id.”
"Please don't take it to heart, thank you."
*******************************
The Gloria family is located in the center of Gloria City, not far from the central city of the empire. Its existence is almost as long as this ancient imperial capital. Because of the great military exploits and glory this family has made in the past,
Many buildings and symbols, including the name of the city, are more or less related to this family. However, due to various unexpected circumstances and the operation of certain forces, the glory of this family began to decline with the passage of time.
Even now that the imperial capital is in chaos and the Thebilis Castle has begun to suffer attacks, no one still mentions the name of this family that is highly regarded by the imperial military and most generals.
Although this did not give the newly returned soldier who was staying at home to recuperate any thoughts of raising objections.
"I didn't expect you would find me here at this time."
Lott pushed several cups of hot tea in front of the adventurers who had just broken into the mansion in the middle of the night. After shooing away the waiters, Lott let out a few playful low laughs: "Why, have you already left?
Is it to the point where we need the protection of the Gloria family?”
"It's just a drop-in, just a drop-in, hahaha." Putting away the list he had been searching for for a long time in the adventurer's manual, Duan Qingpei replied with a smile: "And judging from the current status and situation,
We are the ones who should help each other the most.”
"The Gloria family has been in decline for a long time, otherwise I wouldn't have been the guard captain in Tanzania City for so long." With a slight gesture towards the other party, Lott handed over his own
The cup of tea was raised in front of him: "Even now that I have restored my status as a noble and returned to the imperial capital, it is still very difficult for me to say even half a sentence in front of the emperor."
"It doesn't matter, the name of the Gloria family will not really decline because of the contempt of His Majesty and those nobles." Duan Qing smiled and stretched out his hand: "And I noticed that the military and some other nobles treat you badly.
Courtesy, they should still value you."
"No matter how much you value me, it is not as important as the current situation." Lott shook his head: "At least compared to you who solved the mutation in Tanzania City and stood directly opposite to His Royal Highness, I am still worse.
It’s far away.”
"Uh...you don't still hold grudges about what happened at that time, do you?"
"How is it possible? I have already let go of what happened at that time."
Facing Duan Qing's tentative questions, Lott's scarred face once again burst into a smile: "I witnessed your battle with the Lord of Violet and the subsequent confrontation with His Royal Highness, even I
No matter how stupid I am, I should have noticed something was wrong."
"You, me, and even Violet, we are all victims." He pointed at Duan Qing's chest, and his voice changed from cheerful to mysterious: "The empire's storm is being changed by some thoughtful people.
, the attack on the castle by the Restorers was just the beginning. If you and your companions had not solved the civil strife in Tanzania City in that way, His Royal Highness might have succeeded long ago."
"Please allow me to express my gratitude to you." After saying this, he lowered his head solemnly: "Only people including me and a few other people from Tanzania know who saved that city.
A true hero."
"This is not a good thing." Duan Qing replied with a wry smile: "At best, what I did only caused those conflicts to break out in advance, thus bringing more serious turmoil to the empire. If I am not wrong,
, thoughtful people like the Restorationists may have already prepared the follow-up methods after His Highness the Prince succeeds..."
"For the same reason, Marshal Reid is naturally inconvenient to act rashly at the moment." Putting the tea cup he took a sip on the table in front of him, Lott nodded his head in agreement: "In order to guard against subsequent threats that may appear here.
, other imperial generals, including myself, have also unanimously decided not to worry about the matters at the castle for the time being, and believe that Steele is the best policy."
"But His Majesty the Emperor may not believe you because of these decisions of yours." Duan Qing pondered and shook his head: "In addition, with the riots that occurred tonight, it seems that Redcar's city guards have not shown up yet. It's the one above.
Have you decided to let these guys continue to cause trouble?"
"No matter what those nobles plan to do, we will ignore them."
With a deep sigh, Lott, who was sitting in the middle, shook his head and replied: "What's more, I am considered half a sinner now. If I can, I'd better not add any details. As for you..."
"You come to visit me, a sinner, so late at night. It seems that you are not here to talk to me about these scriptures, right?" His eyes suddenly turned to Duan Qing and the players around him: "For the sake of our old age,
For the sake of my friends, I can tell you what you want to do tonight."
A suddenly silent atmosphere descended on this simple room, accompanied by the awkward movements of three or two players, including Duan Qing, looking at each other. After brewing for a long time, they wanted to
The words he said were then interrupted by a shaking sound coming from outside the house, and the screams of several retainers and waiters waiting outside the house echoed in the dim hall. Two stern eyes flashed in his eyes.
, Lott, who was sitting opposite Duan Qing, then grabbed his sword and stood up suddenly. He wanted to speak out to warn others, but was interrupted by the voice of a red-haired girl sitting in the corner. At the same time,
Also appearing was the magician named Qian Zhihe, whose eyes turned from dull to astonished: "The structure of magic has changed...how is this possible?"
"The magical spiritual veins in the imperial capital suddenly became active!"
