"So... Tristan seems to have mentioned your relationship with him. Have you ever had a deeper connection?"
"Of course there is. After all, we and I have been adventuring in the City of Freedom for a while before. Although I was still a member of the Wings of Freedom at the time, I had no deeper relationship with the other players...
"
"Ah, I seem to have heard about those things. I remember that the Fool's Adventure Group once left a lot of praiseworthy writings in that place, right? In the end, it even triggered the Star of Molnar?"
"That's right, although the fight under the throne that day was planned in advance, Tristan at that time could be regarded as using up the last chess piece in his hand. If it hadn't been for someone who claimed to have broken into another
If a man from this world claimed to have killed Oxon and their plan failed, there's no telling what the Free City would look like now."
With a long sigh, Xueling Huanbing, who mentioned this place, finally kept silent and took back what he originally wanted to introduce. And Gedman, who noticed this unnatural feeling, also became very sensible.
Ji did not continue to ask, and instead pinched his chin to gather his energy: "Oxon is a villain who only remains in the mouths of players. It is said that people who know what happened that night in Liberty City once went back to ask about this.
There are clues about the mastermind behind the scenes, but the dark forces, including the candidates for the throne, have no records and information about him..."
"Everything seems to have disappeared out of thin air, just like what we see now." He pointed at the low mountain peak not far from him and the palace standing on it, and the corners of his mouth showed up involuntarily.
A smile: "If His Majesty the Emperor really died that night three days ago, his achievements and past would probably be gradually obliterated like that person, right?"
"...You seem to know something."
Looking at the other party with a strange look, Xue Ling Huan Bing lowered her voice again: "Do you also know about that world?"
"That world? What is that?" He raised his eyebrows, and there was a bit of weirdness in Goldman's answer: "Are there other planes? Tell me about it?"
"It's best if you don't know."
Waving his hand, Xueling Huanbing then tossed his long white hair back into the movement of turning his head: "I won't deliberately hide any secrets, but it is indeed not something that normal people should know. I,
And this Linyuan Duanshui in front of you... We are all victims now."
"If possible, we will never touch anything there in the future." She squinted at Gedman behind her: "I also hope you will follow my advice and not randomly inquire for clues related to that world."
"Well, the previous conclusions are all based on some of the strange behaviors of His Majesty the Emperor recently." Gedman smiled and spread out one of his arms: "Don't you think the Emperor after that night
Your Majesty, has your temperament changed a lot compared to before?"
"...I'm sorry, we have almost no direct communication with the emperor in the past three days." Looking in the same direction of the palace, Xue Ling Huan Bing slowly shook his head: "But no matter how he changes now
What he has become, and what special features he has that are worthy of your pursuit and study, he has nothing to do with us, and we hope you will not continue to delve deeper into it."
"But other people don't think so."
After a slight silence, Goldman sighed helplessly: "Not to mention the players, even some NPCs seemed to have drawn some outrageous conclusions from this change in the imperial capital. That Tristan
I'm afraid he is one of them, he must also know something else..."
"That's because he's been through something similar."
Her eyebrows slowly relaxed a little, and Xue Ling Huan Bing's eyes gradually landed on the back of Duan Qing who was still guarding the sign and shouting loudly in front of her. Her eyes that looked a little sad because of the memories followed her.
His breath was scattered in the air behind the gray-robed man: "He has committed many similar 'crimes' in the past game time, but he has saved the fate of everyone who should have died.
He became debilitated, which resulted in his current frailty and other irreversible mental damage."
"He didn't mention it himself, and I didn't notice it for a long time in the past." There was a slight bitterness in her tone: "This burden that has always been on him will not continue to get heavier.
,I swear."
"Is this one of the reasons why you agreed to him being so messy today?"
Pointing to the simple wooden sign and the empty crowd in front of the wooden sign, Goldman still had a look in his eyes as if he was looking at a fool: "Let him relax in this random way? Or?
Want to use this completely unreliable method to try to recruit two reliable players?"
The hot wind blew over the heads of the two of them, bringing a somewhat deserted feeling to the group of people hiding under the eaves of the Adventurers Association. For some reason, this street that no one cares about will also start from Duan.
The shouting voices in Qingkou were sent back intact, and no other figures were brought back. Secretly shaking his head, Xue Ling Huan Bing, who looked helpless, then also used silence.
After answering the question raised by Gedman behind him, several intertwined loud shouts gradually sounded in front of them, with the sound of hoofbeats of a war horse and the sound of a large number of nobles led by them.
The private soldier filled in this embarrassment together with Xue Ling Huan Bing's hesitant expression: "Hey! You guys!"
"You actually dare to work for this Adventurers Association?"
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. A certain imperial nobleman wearing a gorgeous dress who was running at the front then strangled the tall horse under his crotch hard: "Arrogant adventurers, you are simply resisting openly.
His Majesty’s order! Arrest them all!”
"We are just soliciting customers here. We don't seem to have violated any laws of the empire, right?" Duan Qing rolled his eyelids indifferently and looked at the arrogant noble in front of him with a squinting gaze.
Face: "If you don't even let us do such a thing, doesn't your empire want to starve our group of adventurers to death? This... hmm."
"I remember that you were someone who once appeared in the main hall, right? It's called... Chakra or something?" He looked at the other person up and down, completely ignoring the rest of the people behind him who ran forward aggressively and surrounded the four people.
Soldiers: "Why, without the threat of the prime minister, you guys have suddenly become the boss?"
"Of course!" Wiping his nose, the imperial nobleman who had appeared in the trial hall of Duan Qing looked down at Duan Qing's face with a proud look on his face: "That old thief Caldera, I was thinking about it before.
He pulled me into the same boat as him, but not only did I jump out alive, but I also betrayed him to His Majesty the Emperor... Wait, why am I telling you these things? You insidious and cunning adventurers, just now
You're trying to trick me again, right?"
"No, this Lord Chakra..."
"It's Chuckna! And it's the Earl! The Earl!"
"Oh, His Excellency Earl Chakna." Looking at the increasingly angry eyes of the other party, Duan Qing smiled and shook his head: "Even if you replace the position of the prime minister and his gang, you
There shouldn’t be any conflict of interest with humble adventurers like us, right? Is there any need to come here and arrest people so aggressively?”
"Who let us get the tip that someone actually dared to hawk at the Adventurers Association and tried to restart the business in this place... That's not right!"
Woke up from his low murmur again, Earl Chuckner shouted loudly with a look of shock and anger: "Anyway, anyhow! You guys who dare to offend His Majesty the Emperor's orders, just surrender and arrest them, otherwise... I will...
Report to Your Majesty, you will be treated as accomplices of rebellion against the empire!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor?" Duan Qing blinked his eyes, and then a strange smile appeared on Duan Qing's face: "Are you sure? If we are really brought to His Majesty the Emperor, what will be the final result?
It’s hard to say.”
"You, you are so presumptuous!" Earl Chuckna shouted and pointed at Duan Qing's face with his eyes widened: "How dare you despise the majesty of the Frey Empire? Brothers!"
"Do it! Let them know how powerful you are!"
Then the chorus of responses sounded around Duan Qing and others, and the swords and guns raised by the noble private soldiers came to their eyes in an instant. Asahi Dongsheng, who had already put up a fighting posture, did not show any signs of it.
He let out his own roar without fear, and the giant ax that was about to be thrown away was replaced by a bright sword light at the next moment: "You"
The white sword light flashed across the surrounding siege of swords and guns, completely replacing the reflection of the metal into a ring of swords. The sword shadow, which seemed to be weak due to the decline in level, still broke out in the end.
The strong sword wind that could not be concealed exploded in all directions with scattered bodies flying in all directions: "Simply"
"act recklessly."
The flying white hair floated into the air as Xue Ling Huan Bing finally landed on her toes, brushing through everyone's eyes like bright silk, and then the scattered sword lights followed.
Lines seemed to be woven from those white satins, blocking all subsequent attacks launched by Count Chuckner and his men: "You! Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice!"
"Are you planning to rebel in public?"
It seemed that he did not dare to fight head-on with the white-haired female swordsman who suddenly showed her power. Count Chakna, who was forced back a few steps by the sword light, shouted: "You guys were escorted from Tanzania City."
The criminals who came are indeed a group of fanatics who despise the empire!"
"Whether we are sinners or madmen, it is not your turn to decide." He threw aside the white long sword that exuded a vague dragon aura, and covered Duan Qing behind him with boundless eyes.
The cold light: "But if you dare to threaten me and the magician behind me, I will kill you now."
"Stop being so arrogant here. Do you think we haven't checked your details?"
The murderous aura emanating from the sword then forced Chakna's figure back a few steps. The angry and twisted face turned into a cold smile at the next moment: "You were once the Wings of Freedom.
A member of the group is one of the leaders of the traitorous adventure group! On the night of the previous mutation, someone also witnessed you secretly exchanging intelligence with those leaders of the Wings of Freedom!"
"That's assuming you don't recognize the long sword behind her."
The calm words then sounded on the periphery of the trajectory where the white auras gradually spread out, accompanied by the figure of a certain imperial nobleman also wearing a gorgeous dress who gradually stepped into the encirclement.
: "If you knew the origin of the sword behind her back, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to say that, Your Excellency Earl Chuckner."
"Lo, Lot?" Looking at the figure of the noble who was completely inconsistent with his previous image of a warrior, Count Chuckner rubbed his eyes exaggeratedly: "Why did you suddenly appear here?"
"You are only allowed to take advantage of the collapse of the aristocratic system to rise to the top, but you cannot be allowed to take advantage of the same opportunity to rise to the top?"
Reaching out to push away the swords still stretched out from the hands of several noble private soldiers around him, Lott showed a smile full of aristocratic style: "The Gloria family's status as Imperial City Guards has now been restored.
Yes, Your Excellency, Minister of Economy of the Empire."
"You, you!" Earl Chuckner tremblingly raised his finger pointing at the other party, and his lips trembled for a long time, then suddenly bit his teeth: "You actually took this opportunity to climb out of the abyss?"
"Even if our Gloria family continues to decline, our family's heritage is much stronger than that of your Chakna family." He slowly blocked the way in front of Xue Ling Huan Bing, and Lott's eyes also flashed.
Gradually, the unique seriousness of a noble was revealed: "I will not agree with you taking action against these people. They were all my comrades in the same trench with me."
"……snort."
He took two steps back and came to his horse. With a fierce look on his face, Chakna pulled out a sheepskin scroll with long golden edges from the saddle: "Don't think you can change the fate of these adventurers.
This lackey of the military is a former loser!"
"This is an order issued by His Majesty the Emperor himself."
He hurriedly tore open the scroll, his eyes moving back and forth excitedly between the few people in front of him and the fluorescent light on the surface of the scroll: "According to the decree of His Majesty Drenil Frekadreft, from now on
Starting today, the Adventurer Association in the Imperial Capital will be banned and all activities related to the Adventurer Association will be terminated."
"……What?"
"To put it simply, you are all going to close down shop! Hahahaha!"
Looking at Lot's increasingly serious face and the subsequent exclamations from Duan Qing and others behind him, he jumped up and down while pulling the scroll and pointed at the faces of the group of people in front of him: "You are unemployed!"
"You're all out of a job!"
