Finding Duan Qing is not the first time Xueling Huanbing has said such words, nor is it the first time she has made an oath when she made up her mind to find Duan Qing's whereabouts. It was just that she lost it again because of her own misunderstanding and choice.
Now that she and the other party parted ways again, the feeling of regret and anxiety lingering in her heart made her shouting and running movements even more urgent. The energy storm in front of her was about to happen in Redcar, the imperial capital.
The changes in the territory seemed to have lost their original meaning in her eyes, replaced by the thought of looking around for the gray-robed magician who might appear among every player passing by on the street. This single thought
The increasing number of players on the streets at night became more and more pure. It was not until the commotion from the palace hill gradually spread that they were finally drawn away: "Someone invaded the palace? At this time?"
"It should be that some well-intentioned guy's secret plan has been fully launched." Liushang, who had been following her and was also looking for Duan Qing, responded in a low voice: "I didn't want to make such a big noise before.
Stopping the attack, no matter how you think about it, must be related to subverting the empire. Now that Redkar's defense force has been fully mobilized, the next step should be to attack the palace."
"Duan Qing...will Duan Qing go to that place?"
"How do I know? I tried my best to get back to this place."
A hint of unnoticeable worry flashed through his eyes, and his murmuring reply sounded a bit like he was mumbling to himself: "He had spent a lot of energy saving people before, but in the game he encountered this again.
Such an accident..."
"You must never fall into these troubles again."
Once again, they crossed several streets where players began to appear, and the footsteps of a few people finally stepped onto the edge of the street near the central area. The scoffing sounds caused by the intertwined sword energy later broke through the screams and shouts of those players.
The commotion gradually appeared in their ears along the steps leading to the top of the hill: "...He is a wind magician! Archers are ready! Watch the top of your head!"
"Shoot him down and be careful! It's a fireball!"
"How is it possible? With such rapid elemental conversion and such powerful power...could he be a great magician?"
"Where is our magician? Stop him quickly!"
The loud explosion then sounded among the group of people who were shouting and entangled at the foot of the mountain, accompanied by the brilliant light and fire caused by the sudden bright fireball in the darkness intertwined with the ground.
, a solid and thick earth wall suddenly rose in front of the chaotic group of guards, blocking their figures who wanted to rush up the steps again under the narrow mountain path. It was obvious that this series of
The familiar aura of the gray-robed magician was detected in the magic attack. The white figure belonging to Snow Spirit Huanbing took the lead in rushing out of the darkness of the shadow, and the next moment he passed through countless people watching on the street with unabashed steps.
The player's shoulder chased towards the bottom of the steps at the foot of the mountain: "Duan Qing!"
"Hey! Can you calm down a little first?"
"An accomplice of the intruder!"
The prompt to stop them appeared behind the white-haired woman, but was immediately covered up by the shouts of a large number of imperial guards turning around in front of them: "Stop them! Don't let them
Rush up the mountain too!"
"Go back first, these are top guards dozens of levels higher than us."
He hurriedly pulled Xue Ling Huan Bing back, who was about to collide head-on with the imperial guards, and threw out a large piece of fiery red sword energy with his backhand. Then he quickly pulled each other's figures into the alley where they came from: "We
But there is no way to fly like that guy, and we don’t have the strength to fight these royal guards head-on..."
"He's right up there."
Staring closely at the top of the long stairs and the brightly lit palace, Xue Ling Huan Bing gritted her teeth: "He is going to the palace! What does he want to do?"
"Perhaps you want to help us attract attention." Looking at the figures of the royal guards who rushed up again after the fiery red sword energy, Xu Yu Liushang guessed gloomily: "After all, you were so determined to rush into that energy before.
In the storm, he had no intention of stopping..."
"I, I might know what he wants to do."
Standing aside and raising his hands, Qian Zhihe, who had been following the two women, finally spoke out: "I, when I left the Poole family, he once told me those things.
He seemed to have lost something, and seemed to be looking for someone."
"It's the great magician who was with you before. She seems to have disappeared." Looking at the eyes of the two female swordsmen who turned around in unison, she shrank her neck and then showed her twinkling eyes again.
: "If he didn't follow me in the end, then he should have gone looking for the great magician."
"That great magician? Is it Violet?"
Her bright eyes flashed violently for a while, and she turned to look at Xue Ling Huan Bing's face: "When did she regain consciousness? Can she move freely?"
"..."
Without answering the other party's question immediately, Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes flashed with a gleam of realization, and the white sword blade that was gradually withdrawn to his chest seemed to have lost its original fighting spirit, and fell on it together with his lowered eyes.
He put it in the scabbard beside his waist: "She, she should...she has always been by my side...protecting me...but..."
"Okay, don't think about it anymore."
Throwing out a large piece of scattered flame sword energy again, the blue-haired female swordsman tried her best to push back the imperial guards who were about to rush in front of her again. Her deep voice was accompanied by her long blue hair,
Slowly echoed in the ears of several players present: "No matter what happens in the middle, we only need to focus on the situation in front of us. Since that guy has made such an arrangement, naturally there should be
His own truth."
"As for putting himself in danger, we will settle the matter after we get him back." She tightened the Hua Yan in her hand, and the next moment she led the people and began to retreat: "
Now we have to plan carefully and find a way to break through the defense lines of these guards."
"It's best not to attract the attention of these enemies, otherwise we might become the ones taking the blame for the Restorationists and Wings of Freedom." Pulling the slightly depressed Xue Ling Huan Bing to follow him.
Qian Zhihe's face finally showed a serious and mature look: "It's best to wait until the vigilance of the guards in front recedes, and then find another direction to sneak up the mountain..."
"Red Mountain in the imperial capital is a place specially chosen by the royal family to build the palace. There is usually no other way to go up there." Looking back at the foot of the nearby hill, the pair of beautiful brows that murmured were also moved.
Then they frowned deeply: "And because of that guy's body... ugh."
"Anyway, we don't have time to waste, we must quickly bring him back."
She turned her head, and her decisive and ruthless expression returned to her autumn-like eyes along with her tense cheeks. The fiery red flowers that bloomed from the Huayan sword also seemed to be floating in the long river.
Like a beacon, they bloomed one after another among the scattered crowds surrounding this street. The grand fiery red flowers and the screams of the crowd drowned by the flowers continued to surround the imperial capital Red.
The central area of Karl was distantly intertwined with the energy storms that were still rising not far away. The deliberately caused commotion later overshadowed the conflict caused by Duan Qing alone and the pursuing imperial guards.
, it soon reached the ears of Duan Qing, who was running up the mountainside: "...It's Hua Yan's fireworks."
"I see, you're here too."
The golden light condensed in his hands once again turned into brilliant blue energy, flowing down bit by bit along the white jade steps he just ran through. The ice blue light representing the water element was also followed by those who had worn it.
Bai's old steps condensed into lines of imperceptible ice, and the guards who were trying their best to catch up fell to the ground one by one: "Ice Condensation Technique! Watch your step!"
"Anyway, no one has climbed up the stairs for a long time, so just think of sweeping the steps."
A smile emerged from the corner of his mouth, and Duan Qing, who no longer paid attention to the messy scene, continued to climb higher: "If you don't want to clean up, you can stay where you are and have a rest."
"You, you bastard!" An angry warning from one of the guards came from below: "Do you think there aren't any of our guards up there? They will definitely kill you!"
"It's true that rushing forward in such a fair and just way does have the meaning of risking one's death, but the current situation dictates that I don't care so much anymore."
Duan Qing let out a light breath and focused his eyes again on the end of the stairs in front of him: "Do you really have to force your way through? Alas... I hope there won't be any grand welcome team above."
"If it doesn't work, just explain it to His Majesty." He said to himself, but his eyes were on the light staff held tightly in his hand: "Although it is also a kind of failure to capture without mercy.
Choice, but not a last resort”
Bang.
A crisp sound of landing appeared next to him. It was the sound made by the white staff that suddenly fell from his hands and fell on the steps. Duan Qing, who seemed to have noticed it for a long time, also stopped and looked up.
As he walked forward, his eyes full of wry smiles also fell on the fingers of his right hand that had loosened the staff: "Sure enough, it is because too much experience has been used, and the ability has dropped to the point where it cannot be equipped? Is it true that you systems
The settings are really harsh...well."
"Perhaps it's not just because of this." A dizzy feeling quickly hit his head, interrupting his attempt to turn around and pick up the staff: "It's better this time. Apart from being caught without mercy, I
It seems there is no choice."
Gritting his teeth, he slowly picked up the extremely heavy staff of light. Duan Qing, who checked the character's attributes, then shook his head and carried the weapon back behind him. He had paused for a long time but
Still moving forward without hesitation, he slowly approached in the direction of the old magic stone pillars that were approaching the top: "What an extremely unlucky day, I haven't even waited for me to accept everything that happened before me.
, everything just rushed to my head like a duck being rushed to the shelves..."
Snapped.
The crisp sound of magic diversion then echoed in his ears, lighting up all the ancient magic stone pillars that were originally silent. The white pillars that seemed to be acting as street lamps also illuminated both sides of the steps extremely brightly.
At the same time, the huge doorway belonging to the palace hall not far away was displayed in front of Duan Qing: "That's right."
"We didn't expect that things would suddenly develop to this point."
An old and dull voice then sounded in Duan Qing's ears. In the interlacing white light at the end of the steps, the prime minister named Caldera then withdrew his sight and disappeared with his hands behind his back.
Direction of the Royal Palace: "Come here."
"... Prime Minister? Why are you here?"
Duan Qing opened his mouth inexplicably, and the exhausted Duan Qing finally chose to follow the other party: "It's so late, you...are you and your ministers still discussing things in the palace?"
"Meeting matters? Haha."
Glancing sideways at the other party, the old prime minister in rich attire replied without looking back: "There is nothing wrong with this statement. We are indeed discussing something."
"Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you."
The dim door slowly opened on both sides as the old man walked to the entrance of the palace. With Duan Qing's surprised eyes, it gradually extended into the dark night sky. At this time, the main hall without guards standing on both sides seemed to be...
Like ancient ruins that have been lost in history for thousands of years, they welcomed the arrival of the gray-robed magician in an empty and quiet manner. Duan Qing, who forced himself to cheer up and looked around, still did not find himself in this place after all.
There were no guards or weapons that could be called threats around the main hall. The familiar sight he had seen a few days ago did not seem to be of any help to him at this time. He only used the huge red corridor that still stood under the night sky.
The pillars and the empty dome of the hall welcome the arrival of the adventurer: "You"
Duan Qing gradually closed his open mouth, and then replaced the surprise in his eyes with a look of understanding: "Is it you? The head of the Ida family?"
"Long time no see, adventurer."
Smiling and nodding, the middle-aged man named Trilik Ida who had met him in the Ida family smiled and sat back in his original seat: "Being able to witness our event at this time
The banquet may be your honor."
"Please take a seat."
He gestured towards one of the empty seats where the high-level forum was located, stretched out his arm and said with a smile.
